Chapter 11

"Who's this?" Gemma asked as she walks into the office. "This is Ruger. Koz got him for me. We thought he'd be a good way to keep me out of my own head." I say. "He's cute." she says. Ruger gets up and walks over to Gemma and sits at her feet and places his head on her knee. She pets the top of his head and he walks back to his bed and lays back down. "Well behaved too." she tells me laughing. "Yeah. He is. He growled at Tig but backed off when I said he was okay but then let Happy pet him." I say. "Smart pup." she says.

That evening, Koz comes over to the office and says "Party tonight. Wanna just crash here?" he asked. "Yeah." I say. Gemma and I close up the shop and we head into the clubhouse. I walk over to the bar and the prospect hands Koz a beer and me a Jack and Coke. I take the drink and start drinking, Ruger by my side. As we made our way to the couch, Ruger sits by my feet and Jax says "He doesn't go far from you does he?" I pat the top of his head and say "No. He doesn't." We go on talking and Ruger falls asleep. There are a few guys from Indian Hills and Rogue River hanging around too. "I'm gonna take Ruger to the dorm." Koz says. "Okay. I'll get us a couple more drinks." I tell him. Walking to the bar, the prospect walks over. "What can I get you Charley?" he asks. "A beer and a Jack and Coke please Sack." I say. While waiting on Sack to get our drinks, a Son that I don't know walks over. "Let's have some fun baby." he says. "No thanks." I say but before I can say anything else, he grabs my wrist and starts to drag me outside. "Let go of me." I yell. All of a sudden, Koz grabs the guy and he let's go of my wrist. "Don't fucking touch my Old Lady." Koz says as he punches the Son. Happy pulls Koz off of him. "She's your Old Lady? Brother I didn't know." I don't say anything. "You do now." Koz says. The Son looks at me and says "Sorry. I didn't know you weren't a croweater. You okay?" he asked. "Yeah." I say before Koz pulls me to him.

A few minutes later, I am sitting on the couch with Gemma and Koz is talking to Happy. I see Happy nod and then head to the dorms. Koz walks over and says "Come with me." He takes my hand and we head towards the dorm. "What's up?" I asked as we headed towards Happy's room. Walking in, I see Happy has his tattoo kit set up. "What's this?" I asked. "It hit me out there that there's nothing marking you as an Old Lady. So, Hap is going to give you my crow." he says. "Really?" I asked smiling. "Yeah babe. Really." he says. "Doesn't he need to draw it up?" I asked. "I had him draw it up the day you asked me to move in." he says. I walk over to him and kiss him. "I love you." I say. "Love you too baby." he says. I sit down and the next hour and a half is spent with Happy giving me Koz's crow.

We walk back into the main room and there's a bandage on the top of my left breast. I walk over to Gemma and she grabs me and hugs me. "Congrats baby girl." she tells me. "Thanks Gemma." I say. She grabs us a couple of shots and we take shots welcoming me to the Old Lady club officially. Koz walks up behind me a little later and asks "You ready for bed?" I smile and say "Yeah babe. I'm ready." I say.

We walk into our dorm and Ruger looks up just long enough to see that it's us and goes back to sleep. We lay down on the bed and I kiss him deeply. When we come up for air I whisper "Love me Koz." He kisses me again before we start shedding clothes and he makes love to me nice and slow. The entire time, telling me how much he loves me and needs me.
