AFTER MARIA HEADED TO TOWN with Sawyer and Rat to spend a nice day with the little boy before the little family would head back to Charming tomorrow morning, Happy took advantage of a quiet moment and slipped out the back door.

His cell already in his hand, he dialed Jax' number, the device pressed against his ear as he paced around impatiently. Baxter followed every step, his tail wagging as his puppy eyes scanned the ground, looking for anything interesting.

"Yeah?" Jax' slightly stressed voice immediately sent a bad feeling in the pit of Happy's stomach.

"Everything okay?", he asked with a rasp, lowering his voice so Tesss wouldn't hear him. "Any news about Cal?"

"Nah man, we didn't find him", Jax sighed, followed by a bitter snort as he rubbed a hand down his face, which Happy couldn't see. "But he turned himself in, probably knew he's a dead man if we find him. He's much safer behind bars."

"He did what?!", Happy barked into the phone through gritted teeth, the muscles in his jaw twitching violently as he clenched it.

"Sorry man", Jax replied, sounding just as pissed as Happy. Cal not only hurt Tessa, he had also hurt Tara and Jax wanted revenge for that. They also couldn't risk Cal snitching on them. "We'll find a way to get him, but we need to be smart. Who knows what he'll tell them about us."

Oh, Cal was a dead man, absolutely.

"Keep me updated. I'll be back tomorrow, then we gonna have to find a solution", the SAA sneered, the urge to try out every single torture method on that fucker growing.

"We will, bro", assured the blonde over the phone, another sigh falling from his lips. "Aight, gotta go. We'll talk tomorrow."

Happy grunted as the line died, only the dial tone remaining. Taking a deep breath that didn't help, Happy kicked over one of the white garden chairs, making a loud, rumbling noise. He picked the chair up again with a grumble, it was his mother's garden after all, before walking over to his bike, whistling Baxter with him.

How was he supposed to protect Tessa and Sawyer if he himself might end up in jail? If Cal said even the tiniest word about them holding him in the cabin and planning to kill him, he and the others would probably have to serve time for months, if not years.

But Cal couldn't really prove anything. Only the people from the porn studio had seen the little fight between Cal and Happy, how the Killer almost beat him to death, but none of them would say anythingᅳ at least that's what Happy hoped.

Letting out a snort, Happy shook his head on the way to his bike, from which he took one of the magazines and then disappeared into the house. While Baxter made himself comfortable on the armchair in the living room, Happy searched his way through the house until he found Tessa in her old room, for which Maria had given up her guest room so that the girl could have her own space.

The slightest hint of a smile crossed his face as he watched her read for a moment, not making a sound so he wouldn't startle her as he leaned his tall frame against the doorframe.

He knew she enjoyed a good book every now and then, even if many didn't think so of herᅳ which just showed that you shouldn't judge a book by the cover.

"What are you reading?", he asked with a croak, startling her anyway.

Completely engrossed in her book, an old Victorian Gothic romance, her head snapped up as Happy's raspy voice sent a shiver down her spine. She would never get enough of that voice, especially when he whispered filthy words against her ear while he fucked her mercilessly.

"Just a novel that would probably put you to sleep." With a teasing grin, she shifted position. Instead of lying on her stomach, she was now sitting cross-legged on the bed, tapping the blanket beneath her with her palm. "Come here."

"Sorry that I'm not a book nerd like my Old Lady", he replied quickly, amusement in his tone as he sat down in front to her. "We need to talk, baby", he finally said, lifting the rolled-up magazine in his hand. "About your job."

He watched as Tessa tensed up, the sleeves of her dark green and black striped sweater pulled over her hands, her long black nails almost ripping through the thin fabric. "I told you I was looking for something else. But I want something that at least pays just as well, Hap."

"I know, and I get that", he grunted, scooting closer to his girlfriend before a sigh fell over his lips, his eyes glued to the cover of the magazine. "But until then, you'll keep ending up in magazines, a template for every guy to jerk off to."

Understanding crossed Tessa's features, her head tilted to the side as she placed her palm against his cheek. "I only care about you, you know that. I don't care what other guys do with my pictures."

"But I do", the SAA snarled sharply, aggressively pointing a finger at the cover. "You're mine, I don't want other guys to see you like this, Tess."

Withdrawing her hand, Tessa swallowed quietly, her hands now placed in her lap as she began to fiddle with her fingers. "I can't just quit, Happy. I have to take care of my son somehow in case you forget about him."

The words fell from her lips before she could even think about them. Only when it was too late, the words spoken and Happy's features hard as stone, did her lips part to say something, to apologize.

But Happy spoke first, his tone low and sharp but more vulnerable than ever. "Are you fucking serious, woman?" he spat with a huff, throwing the magazine into her lap before he shot up from the bed. "I'm not thinking about anything but you and your son", he added, putting emphasis on 'your son'.

Her words had hit a spot, leaving a pain in his chest that was new even to him. Happy knew Sawyer was hers, and yet he cared for the boy so much that he wished Sawyer was his too.

"Iᅳ I didn't mean it like that", Tessa insisted stubbornly, also shooting up from the bed.

"Then how about you don't say shit like that", Happy roared, his voice so loud the sound bounced off the walls before he got in her face. "Do you have any idea how worried I am? How fuckin' scared I am now that Cal is somewhere out there, ready to plan his revenge? That he might try to hurt Sawyer just to hurt you?!"

Tessa's heart pounded against her ribcage, unshed tears filling her eyes as she listened to Happy spill his feelings, not used to seeing him so vulnerable and angry at the same time. She hadn't realized that he already cared so much about Sawyer, simply because she wasn't used to people being interested in her and her son.

She swallowed guiltily, trying to reach for his hand. "Happy, please..Iᅳ"

"No, you listen to me now", he said gruffly, yanking his hand away before pointing a finger in her face. "You wanted complete honesty, now you're getting it. I can't handle your job, and I can't handle Cal being aliveᅳ he should've been six feet under by now, far away from my family, my Old Lady and the kid. I'm sorry for that I fuckin' care about you! If you don't like it, you might be better off without me."

"For fucks sake!" Tessa growled quietly as she finally closed the distance between Happy and her and grabbed his face decisively, her grip so tight that he could hardly get awayᅳ but he tried anyway. "I love you, you hear me? I fuckin' love you, you and our little family. And nobody can change that. Not Cal, not another guy, not a Croweaterᅳ nobody!"

Happy stared at her, her words like balm for his soul. She loved him, him, a guy who had no real idea what love felt like. But apparently just like that. Being afraid for someone, being worriedᅳ when the other person's life became more important than your own.

"I love you", she told him again as she stared into his dark, slightly wide eyes while her thumbs rubbed against his stubble. "I'm yours, okay? And Sawyer is yours too. Aren't you at least a little proud of the pictures? Don't you like them at all? Because I do like them."

His features immediately softened as he noticed the new film of tears covering her brown eyes. Letting out a deep sigh, he grabbed her wrists, dipped his head slightly to the side and planted a kiss against her palm, leaving a wet spot.

"I never said I didn't like the pictures, little girl", he grumbled against her palm before lifting his head again, looking at her sincerely. "I love every single one of them. Fuck, that's the problem, Tessa. They're perfect, like you, and while I can trust you, I don't trust other guys. The thought of someone jerking off to the picturesᅳ it drives me crazy."

"I'm sorry", the Laney girl whispered, her heart aching as she saw the raw emotion simmering in Happy's eyes. "I never thought it would bother you this much."

"Well, now you know", he grumbled, leaning his forehead against hers as he cupped her face in his hands. Exhaling loudly, he closed his eyes, his lips brushing against hers. "I love you too, and that's why it bothers me so much. I normally don't fall love, little girl, but ever since you stormed into the clubhouse that one Friday nightᅳ I couldn't take my eyes off you since then."

Tessa said no more, her voice gone anyway with all the emotions gathering inside her, and let her lips crash against his as she dug her nails into his grey SAMCRO shirt, dragging his body as close to hers as possible.

Happy got the hint immediately as her tongue slipped past his lips into his mouth, desperate for his to feel. Allowing her access, he placed his hands under her ass and lifted her onto his hips, all as the kiss deepened.

Pushing her against the nearest wall, she was now sandwiched between him and the cool material, allowing him to rub his hands up and down her thighs while massaging his thumbs into her flesh. Her pleasant sighs flowed into the kiss as their tongues fought for dominance, a wet slick already in her panties from the heat rushing through her body.

Happy broke the kiss only to look down at her with hungry, desperate eyes, then dipped his head lower to reach her neck. Rough kisses, his teeth scraping against her skin, leaving wet spots and red marks, sending a hot sensation to her core.

"How about I fuck you and show you how much I care about you, huh?" Happy spoke slowly as his lips were pressed against her ear, eliciting a needy whimper from Tessa.

With flushed cheeks, she lifted her head, her chin slightly raised as the back of her head fell against the wall. Even though they hadn't even started yet, she was already out of breath. With nothing but admiration and curious eyes Tessa studied Happy's features, taking in every detail of his face as she began to roll her core against his crotch.

"I think that's a good idea", she whispered through half-open eyelids, licking her already glossy lips. "Fuck me, baby. Show me who I belong to", she added, much more sultry as her lips ghosted over his.

Happy quickly took off his shirt before a devilish grin crossed Happy's face. Shoving her deeper into the wall with his weight, Happy slid his hands under her tight, short black denim skirt and hooked his fingers under the hem of her panties before pulling them off her ass and finally ripping the fabric so she could keep her legs wrapped around his waist.

A gasp fell from Tessa's lips as she heard the fabric rip, only feeding the excitement inside her. Completely absorbed in the needy, feverish kiss, she fumbled with Happy's belt buckle while one of his hands kneaded her ass.

A throaty moan sounded from the back of her throat as Happy's other hand slid between her legs. "Spread those legs for me, baby."

With the belt finally undone and her pushing his pants and boxers down a little, causing his cock to spring to life, she immediately obeyed by letting one leg fall to the side and dragging her nails down the back of his head.

Happy wasted no time sliding two of his fingers through her wet slit, covering them in her juices. Giving her pussy a slap as Tessa rolled her hips in need, he drew another moan from her.

"Go on, fuck yourself on my fingers", the SAA growled against her lips, voice deep and demanding as he slid two fingers inside her warmth.

He didn't have to do much. After pumping his fingers into her a few times, Tessa took over. With her arms wrapped around his neck, she had the support she needed to finger-fuck her dripping cunt.

"Jesus Hap", she gasped, her head still resting against the wall as her body squirmed, her hard nipples showing through the thin fabric of her sweater. "I need you to fuck me, give me what you promised me!"

Don't get it wrong, his fingers knew what they were doing, how they curved inside her to reach exactly the right spot. And the way his thumb circled around her clit, making her almost droolᅳ but she needed him to fill her out.

A deep chuckle rattled through his chest, but he didn't hesitate for long and followed her request, wanting nothing more than to bury himself inside his Old Lady. And that's exactly what he did.

Positioning himself perfectly between her legs, his fingers digging into her tattooed thighs, he guided the tip of his cock to her entrance, filling her up inch by inch, drawing a loud groan from both of them.

Overwhelmed by the feeling of fullness, Tessa plunged her nails deep into his flesh, dragging them slowly down his back as her pussy was stretched by his full length. But she could tell Happy was enjoying it, his teeth buried deep in the crook of her neck as almost animal-like noises erupted from his throat as he pumped into her mercilessly as the red, warm liquid ran down his back.

The immediate pressure building between her thighs made her whine, causing her to wrap her legs around his waist even tighter while he fucked her raw and good, bringing her closer to her climax with each thrust of his hips. It was impossible to keep from screaming, his name falling from her lips so many times probably even the neighbors knew it by now.

"I told you you we're mine", Happy growled, his dark eyes searching for hers before their lips met again for a sloppy yet feverish kiss.

"All..your's..", Tessa whimpered, her walls clenching around his cock as he brought a hand to her core, gently rubbing the sensitive, throbbing nub as he fucked her into oblivion.

"Cum for me, little girl." His cock sank deeper into her, each thrust feeling more merciless than the last as he let his hand wander to her neck. A moment later it was wrapped around her throat. Building up pressure, he watched with satisfaction as Tessa's body arched into his. "Fuck, feelin' so damn good around my cockᅳ takin' me so well", he hummed, his lips once again pressed against her ear.

The words he spilled, the way his hot breath hit her ear and the increasing speed of his thrusts as his cock pulsed inside her and was swallowed by her warmth over and over again made it impossible for her to delay her orgasm any longer.

With his hand still around her throat, he applied even more pressure, which took Tessa's breath away but in this case it was a huge turn on. Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as the familiar, good feeling of an orgasm washed over her like a wave.

Her moans were silent, her throat held too tight to let a sound escape as her walls clenched around his cock and at the same time caused his orgasm to overcome him as well. A loud growl ripped through his throat as he covered her inner walls with his hot seed and her nails left more deep welts on his back again, while he wrapped his arms around her body as if she might run away at any moment.

"I'm the only one who gets to see you like this", he grunted out of breath, their foreheads leaning against each other. "You hear me?"

"Y-yes", Tessa croaked, barely able to open her eyes fully, still too ecstatic. "I hear you", she added in a murmur, holding onto him as she slowly came down from her high.

"Good." Happy removed one arm from her waist to bring his hand to her cheek, brushing his lips against hers. "I love you."

"I love you too." A small smile formed on her lips, her face glowing.

That was all she needed to hear, all she needed to know. That Happy loved her.
