Simple Fire

Spike

He could see the bruises to her torso and it made him want to find the punks who'd laid their hands on his woman and deal his own justice. She'd be sore for a few days at the very least. A constant reminder of what had happened. He left the bathroom so she could get dressed in peace and headed back into the living room. Their dinner arrived before she emerged from the bathroom so he paid, tipped the delivery man, and got everything set out in the living room.

She felt ashamed as she walked into the living room. He stood up and engulfed her in his arms as she laid her head on his chest. She wrapped her arms around his waist, clinging to him like her life depended on it. All she wanted was to feel safe and secure once more. He moved her face so he could gently press his lips to hers. With nothing else to do, he did the only thing he thought might make her feel better.

"Dinner's getting cold." He told her after pulling away, "You need to eat. Especially after what you went through."

She let him lead her back to the couch and plopped down next to him. Eyeing everything there, she got a little bit of everything on her plate as he did the same. He turned on the tv and found an old comedy for them to watch.

"I'm gonna get you a guard dog." He suddenly blurted out, "One you can take to the shop with you. One that's already been trained."

"Oh really?" She raised her eyebrow at him.

"It'll give you some extra protection and some company when things are slow at the shop." He reasoned.

"Well...I do love dogs." She said surprising him at not arguing back, "And I do miss my parents' dogs."

"It'll most likely be a pit bull. Happy knows this shelter that raises and trains them. I'll talk to him about adopting one." Tig told her, thankful she was agreeing.

"Ok. Can you get all the supplies for me too? Collar, leash, food, toys, bed?" She asked.

"I'll make sure he or she is spoiled, Doll." Tig chuckled.

She smiled, thankful he was looking out for her even if it did annoy her most of the time. Shortly after they'd finished their dinner the roar of several bikes could be heard. Not one for knocking on doors, it opened up revealing Jax, Happy, Quinn, and Chibs. Tig greeted everyone as he looked around.

"It was the Nords. They didn't like her "tattooing the coloreds" as they said." Jax explained, "So we explained that it was her choice and that if they came near her again, we'd pull out the full force of the Sons to deal with them."

She raised her eyebrow as she looked at a very bloody Happy.

"So...why is he covered in blood?" She inquired, still staring at the Killah.

"They had something to say about it and things got a little...heated." Jax smirked.

"Sweetheart, go clean up in my bathroom. You don't need to walk around looking like you just murdered someone. Take one of Tig's shirts if you have to." Teegan told the killer who just nodded, "We have plenty left if you boys are hungry."

"Thanks, lass." Chibs smiled before she told him to just go get a plate from the kitchen.

"Are we going to have problems with the Nords again?" Tig asked.

"Not for a while at least. They were pretty roughed up when we left." Jax laughed before following Chibs and Quinn into the kitchen.

Ten minutes later, Happy returned looking much better wearing one of Tig's old SAMCRO shirts. Jax handed him a clean plate so he could get himself something to eat. Tig brought up getting a guard dog for Teegan and asked Happy about the shelter. The Killah said he'd be happy to take them around to the shelter to pick out a trained guard dog. Chibs looked over at Teegan and said they found her truck and it was at the auto shop.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Teegan was beyond excited. She was getting a dog. As the owner of the shelter was talking with Tig, she was walking around the store part picking out toys, a bed, a collar, leash, a bag of food, and two sets of food and water bowls for her new friend. After much discussion, Tig finally settled on a one-and-a-half year old pit bull named Spike. He was all white and couldn't stop wagging his tail as Tig bent down to scratch his head.

The owner showed the pair all the signs and made sure she could control the dog before they paid for their purchases. Spike licked her face making her laugh as she put his new collar on him. "Let's go home, boy!" she laughed as she led him out to her truck. He sat between the pair as she drove them back to her home. Tig brought in all the stuff she'd bought for the dog while she let him out into the backyard to get used to his new surroundings.

He'd never seen a happier dog in his life than Spike as he roamed around sniffing this and that. She set up his bed in her room at the foot of the bed. Once he'd finished sniffing around outside, and had done his business, he came bounding inside to sniff around. Teegan just laughed before walking into the kitchen to start dinner. Tig sat back on the couch and turned the TV. Things were going to be ok. She was warming up to the club more. Not getting as irritated when his brothers just showed up at the house.

She called upon them when needed as she promised them she would. And she hadn't threatened any of them since the day at her shop with Clay. She still had healing bruises from when she was attacked but she seemed to be doing much better since that first night. He suddenly got up and headed into the kitchen. He slipped his arms around her waist making her shake her head. "What are you doing?" she questioned.

"Just want to be near my woman." He whispered before nibbling on her earlobe.

"I need to finish dinner." She tried to resist his charms.

"We can order in...let's go have some fun." He pushed himself up on her making her giggle again.

"Tiiiiiiig." She moaned.

"Save the moaning for later." He nipped at her neck.

"You're horrible." She stated, trying not to grin.

"That's not what you keep telling me." He countered as he ran his hands up her sides and cupped her breasts, "Come on. We could both use the release."

She hated giving in but they had such a great sex life. She really hated that he had learned all her hot buttons so quickly and quite often used them against her. The sigh he heard made him smile as he grabbed her hand and led her down the hallway to their bedroom with her giggling like a schoolgirl. Before she knew it, they were both sweaty and naked.
