One-shots for our favorite SAA. These were originally in different collections, but I've put them together for the Tig lovers lol.

I own nothing to do with The Sons O...
Tracy frowned and looked down at the plum-colored wrap dress and black stilettos that she was wearing before looking back up at Juice. "Yeah, why? Is it not dressy enough?"
Juice whistled as he turned to put the lid on the bakery box containing the cake he had finished earlier that day. "No, it's fine, but I think Tig is gonna want to unwrap you like his own present before the night's over."
Tracy rolled her eyes as she pulled some salads and other desserts from the refrigerator. "I could care less what Tig Trager wants to do." She looked around to make sure they had everything. "Okay, is this it? Clay is in charge of the caterers and keeping Gemma from knowing anything is going on. What was the reason for the party that he gave?"
Juice chuckled as he picked up the cake and started for the door. "Jury being in town."
Tracy nodded as she followed him out to her SUV to start loading everything up. "Well, that's as good a reason as any, I suppose."
When they had everything in the car, he leaned against the door and smiled at her. "So, not that I care, but how long are we going to keep this going tonight?"
Tracy shrugged. "I don't know, really. Not long probably. Just long enough to spring the party on Gemma." She winked at him as she walked around to the driver's side. "I certainly don't want to make you lose out on a crow eater or two later."
Juice chuckled as he leaned beside her open door. "I appreciate that." He leaned in and kissed her on the cheek. "I just want to say that I have enjoyed being your pretend boyfriend these last few weeks. You're awesome and if Tig can't see that, then he's a blind man."
Tracy patted him on the cheek and grinned at him as she carefully wiped her eyes. "Stop it. You're going to mess up my makeup by making me cry. It's been an honor to be your pretend girlfriend."
Juice smiled and chuckled before nodding to his bike. "Meet you at the clubhouse."
As Tracy followed behind Juice, she thought back to the last few weeks. Things had gotten progressively worse between herself and Tig to the point that they were now no longer speaking to each other, just trading dirty looks across the lot. They couldn't even be in the same room together. If one entered, the other left. It would be interesting to see how that played out later when they had to be together in the same place.
Tracy sighed when she parked and got out, seeing that Tig, Chibs, and Happy were standing by the door to the clubhouse, beers in hand, and already laughing and having a good time. She knew the minute that Tig saw her because his jaw tightened and his eyes turned dark. She walked past him, pausing to kiss Chibs on the cheek before continuing inside. She heard Tig clear his throat and looked back to see him staring at her.
"You look great tonight, Tracy." She nodded, keeping her surprise at his words to herself as he stepped forward and kissed her on the cheek, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "Juice is a lucky bastard and I'm an asshole that should have taken a chance."
She pulled back and looked into his eyes, seeing only honesty there as he gave her a small smile. She grinned back and walked ahead as Juice followed her inside. She let the breath out that she had been holding when she heard Juice chuckle from beside her. "So I guess that was Tig's way of extending an olive branch."
Tracy shook her head and grinned at him. "I suppose so."
Juice threw an arm around her shoulder. "You know what I think? I think anyone standing between the two of you when he finds out that we aren't dating is going to be trampled."
Tracy elbowed him as he laughed and took her hand, leading her over to Gemma and Clay.
The clubhouse was soon filled to bursting with leather kuttes and old ladies from various charters, so many that Tracy soon lost track of the names of people she was being introduced to. After about an hour, Clay stood in the middle of the room while Tig whistled to get everyone's attention. When everyone was quiet, Clay smiled and held up a hand.
"Before I say anything, I'd like my queen, Gemma, to come here along with Juice and Tracy." Juice took Tracy's hand and led her to the center of the room, leaving her beside Gemma as he stood on the other side of Clay. Tracy realized that she was standing in front of Tig and tried not to panic as Clay looked at them all with a smile. "Now, something slipped my mind, but Tracy and Juice reminded me. Gem, I love you and I'm sorry that I forgot about your birthday." Gemma started to speak but Clay held up a hand. "Now, Juice wanted to give you a party because you always remember to do that for everyone else, and Tracy agreed, so they planned all of this for tonight, going so far as to pretend to be dating just so they could plan everything. So from all of us, Happy Birthday, Gemma!"
Gemma stared at Clay for a moment before looking from Tracy to Juice, tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. She hugged them all before thanking everyone for the birthday wishes. She shook her head at Tracy and Juice before laughing. "You two! Well, you certainly know how to pull off a surprise!"
Tracy felt someone move behind her and an arm come around her waist. She jumped, looking to see Tig looking down at her with the most intense look she'd ever seen on the man. She could practically feel the air sizzle between them as his hand tightened on her waist. "Yeah, you two are full of surprises, aren't you?"
