Letting out a deep growl as Sage rolled her ass against his crotch while he wasn't even fully awake yet, he dug his fingers deep into her flesh, probably bruising her skin a little. He had no idea what the woman was doing to him, but being around her had him ready and hard all the time.

He could picture her teeth sinking into her bottom lip and a grin tugging at the corners of her mouth as his growing erection now pressed against her ass, demanding for more.

He slowly let his lips dance over her shoulder, planting open-mouthed kisses as he tugged the strap of her top down her arm, eliciting a soft moan from her as his fingertips ghosted over her soft, in freckles covered skin.

She had been here with him in Charming for three days now and he planned to enjoy every minute with her before she would go back to Seattle tomorrow.

"I wanna feel you", she demanded gently, grinding her ass provocatively against his erection, both of them letting out a throaty moan.

Nothing but hot desire gathered between her legs after Happy pushed her panties aside and slid two of his fingers along her dripping slit, teasing her by pushing them into her and withdrawing them again and again.

"So needy for me, little girl", he rasped against her ear, running his tongue along the soft spot on her neck.

Her needy whimpers made his cock twitch, just wanting to be enveloped by Sage's warm, wet walls. He circled his thumb over her clit in steady circular motions, pressing his length between her cheeks and sliding it forward toward her center.

"As if you weren't right now", she countered teasingly, her voice lowered and full of lust. "Don't torture me, Hap", the redhead cried out.

A deep chuckle hit her shoulder as he slid the tip of his cock into her more than ready opening. "Didn't you hear Fawn's warning? I like torturing people."

He got slapped on the arm by the redhead, whose head whipped back and stared at him. "Stop talking about my sister when you're halfway buried inside me", she chuckled. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

"Probably way too much, baby", he winked, sliding into her with just one hard thrust without giving her time to adjust to him.

Oh how fucking hot it was to watch her face contort with pure pleasure as a moan slipped past her plump lips that were meant just for him. Another advantage was that he could now feel her so intensely all the time since they didn't need a condom anymore.

His fingers, which had just circled over her clit, now reached for her chin to forcefully pull her head back and press it against his shoulder before he let one of those fingers glide over her lips.

"Taste yourself", he growled softly against her copper-colored hair, burying his face in it to inhale her sweet scent before his eyes landed on her again, watching hungrily as she ran her tongue along the length of his finger.

"Just like that, little girl", he praised in his gravelly voice and finally began to thrust into her in a steady rhythm, pressing her body so tightly against him that not even a piece of paper could fit between the two of them.

After less than two minutes he had a moaning, whimpering mess in his bed and he himself wouldn't last more than a few more seconds before he too reached his climax.

In the mornings they usually quick but still freaking amazing sex, just to get rid of the pent-up desire quickly. And they both loved and dripped for that morning moment before they closed their eyes at night. It was something to look forward to.

"God.." a moan slipped from her lips, her legs trembling slightly. Her fingernails dragged across his thigh, eliciting a deep grunt from him.

As her walls clenched tightly around his cock, driving him crazy, he tilted his head back and enjoyed the moment she came for him. Her tense posture and the way her nails dug into his leg as she moaned loudly told him that she had just reached her climax.

"You're so fucking hot, you know that?", he whispered, and she literally melted at that.

Happy didn't waste another second, propped himself up on his forearm and finished what they had started with just a few more intense thrusts until he finally caught his climax and spilled his seeds inside her, this time without having to fear any consequences.

Sage gasped once again when she was already filled up by him and then felt him come inside her. She loved these short but intimate moments that they had in the mornings and her heart was already aching at the thought that she would leave tomorrow, having to survive weeks without this again.

When Happy rolled next to her, she turned onto her stomach, placed her hands on his chest and then rested her chin on them. For a while she just looked at him, smiling, while Happy had his eyes closed.

"Why are you staring at me?", he asked with a smirk as he opened his eyes and looked directly into hers, rubbing his hand down her back. "I look good, but not that good."

"Mh... I have to disagree with you", she let out a soft laugh before her lip formed into a thin line, her gaze becoming thoughtful. "I know we're not together, and I don't want to seem like a clingy, jealous girlfriend, butᅳ"

She interrupted herself with a deep sigh, wondering whether she shouldn't just leave the topic alone. However, Happy sat up a little and pulled her with him, running his hand through her hair.

"But what?", he asked demandingly with a certain gentleness in his voice. "What's bothering you, Sage?"

"Are you going to sleep with other women? The Croweaters and sweet butts?" She just let the words flow out before she would lose the courage to ask. "Please don't think I'm patronizing you. I'd just like to know if you do", she added nervously.

While Sage was a nervous wreck, Happy remained relatively calm, studying her features closely, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He noticed that jealousy played a role and he wouldn't feel any different if Sage was constantly being around other men. Hell, he was already jealous and afraid that she would meet someone else while he was here in Charming and wouldn't be able to support her regularly during the pregnancy.

"Would that be a problem for you?", he asked.

"Uh. Iᅳ well..", she stammered, scratching her eyebrow awkwardly. "No..no, you can do whatever you want. I really have no idea why I asked that."

Her strained smile told him that she only said that to avoid seeming nervous. Apparently she was afraid of scaring him away if she appeared too clingy and possessive. But it wasn't like that.

"Hey, look at me." Two fingers cupped her chin, forcing her to look at him. When her green, shame-filled eyes looked into his, he sighed softly and pressed a kiss against the corner of her mouth. "I haven't touched any woman since I spent the first night with you. I don't give a shit about the bitches that hang around here all the time, little girl."

Hope flared deep in the pit of her stomach and made her heart flutter. "Seriously? But...we're not even together, you wouldn't have to settle for just me."

Happy arched an eyebrow. "Woman, I only want you. You're enough for me, and you can take that as a compliment. No woman has ever captivated me like you."

"Iᅳ I don't know what to say", she admitted honestly, her eyes glassy. Co-parenting would be tough if she secretly already had feelings for him and wanted him by her side. "Maybe one day we'll find a solution so we can be together."

"You can count on me to find a solution to this", he said, taking her face in his hands. "Even if it's not official, you're mine, little girl."

He stopped her from saying anything with a gentle, deep kiss, then lifted a corner of his mouth. "And you already have me anyway. Understand?"

"Got it", she replied in a whisper, the biggest smile on her lips that made her eyes shine and highlight the brown spots among the green. "Iᅳ"

Before she could even properly begin her sentence, someone banged on the door, causing Happy to rub his face with a grunt.

"What?!", he shouted.

"Church in ten minutes. Get your ass out of bed", Chibs yelled through the wooden door, his good mood present in his tone. "And Gemma wants Sage in the office!"

Groaning, Happy leaned his forehead against Sage's before pressing a kiss to it. "What did you want to say?"

Sage smiled and waved her hand. "Nothing, it can wait. Better get ready before everyone has to wait for you."

"At least I have a good reason to keep everyone waiting", he rasped with a grin before getting up, disappearing into the bathroom to quickly jump into the shower.

Sighing, Sage let her delicate fingers run through her still slightly tangled hair as she fell back into the mattress, one hand resting on her stomach. If Chibs hadn't knocked she would have said the three famous words. Maybe it was fate that they were interrupted and the courage to say the words to Happy was now gone again.

Freshly showered and in a good mood Sage then made her way to Gemma's office. The clubhouse was quiet as the guys still had church. Only two prospects took care of order in the small kitchen and behind the bar. The sight of the croweaters no longer bothered her at all, now that she knew Happy's opinion about them.

Humming, she strolled across the lot over to TM and knocked on the office door. When there was no answer, she just walked in, hoping she wouldn't disturb Gemma with anything important. However, she wasn't greeted by the matriarch, but by Fawn, who stood up from the a chair and approached Sage.

"There you are, it took quite a long time", she remarked with a tight-lipped smile before closing the door behind them. "Sit down, we need to talk."

Sage's good mood immediately disappeared when she realized that Gemma probably didn't want to talk to her and that it had been a stupid trap by Fawn to get her to talk to her. When the dark blonde locked the door, Sage let out a snort.

"What the hell is this?", she asked, clearly pissed.

Again Fawn insisted that Sage needed to sit down, which she reluctantly did, taking a seat on the used couch in the office. Only then did Fawn sit down again on the chair behind the desk and put one leg over the other, her condemning gaze resting on Sage.

"I want you to leave", she said coldly. "You have no business here. I don't give a shit if that's Happy's child you're carrying. Charming isn't your home anymore."

"Is that so?" With mockery in her tone, Sage raised an eyebrow. She slowly leaned forward, a challenging look on her face. "Didn't you say three days ago that it would be far too complicated if I didn't move back to Charming?"

"And? I stand by that, it's far too complicated and unfair to Happy if you get to spend most of the time with the kid but he doesn't", the younger Trager replied, her voice dripping with poison. "But that doesn't change the fact that you don't belong here."

Sage studied Fawn for a while and it didn't take long for her to see through her younger sister.

"You're scared", Sage stated calmly before sitting up straight again, folding her hands around her knee. "And that's why you want to get rid of me."

Offended, Fawn straightened up and let out a huff, completely indignant. "What should I be scared of? You? Keep dreaming, Sage."

"Your reaction just proves I'm right", Sage hummed, shrugging. "You're afraid you won't get all the attention anymore. Do you think I don't see that you see Gemma as competition? If I'd move back, you'd have even more competition. At least that's how you see it."

"Shut up", the dark blonde hissed angrily, her cheeks turning red. "I don't really care about Gemma and the others, I hate this life here. The violence, the half-naked women, the parties."

Sage stood up as Fawn approached her and backed away a bit. Not because she was afraid, she was capable of throwing hands if she had to. But she didn't want to let it get that far, not while she was pregnantᅳ the fear of losing another child was too big.

"Then why are you here? Nobody is forcing you", the redhead replied, clearly pissed. "And don't use your love for Jax as an excuse."

"But that's how it is", Fawn snarled as she forced Sage step by step against the wall and then rested her hands on either side of Sage's head. "I saw the look in Jax' eyes when you and Happy announced you were pregnant. The regret and disappointment in his eyes", she spat.

"That's not my problem", Sage snapped, her pulse skyrocketing. Out of reflex, her hand slid to her stomach, shielding it protectively. "I don't care about Jax, you should know that! And you'll have to get used to me visiting more often in the future."

"But he does fucking care about you! Are you really that blind?!" Fawn's raised voice echoed through the small office, desperation at the forefront in her tone. "The more you're here, the more often he'll be reminded of the time with you. And I won't let you come between my marriage!"

"Are you crazy?! How pathetic and out of touch with reality are you?" Anger ripped through the redhead, her lips pressed together. "I wouldn't want Jax back if he was the last person on earth! Fix your marriage, but don't blame me if it doesn't work."

Fawn's body shook with rage, her eyes trained like daggers on her older sister, staring into her soul. She despised violence and yet she was ready to use it in this case.

"Stay away from Charming", she hissed threateningly. "Or you'll regret it. Better take care of yourself and your baby."

Fawn's cold, ruthless gaze made Sage shudder. There was nothing more dangerous than a jealous woman. Wordlessly, with her gaze she followed every step Fawn took towards the door, her pulse pounding in her throat.

The anger Sage felt was unbearable and the urge to grab Fawn's hair and slam her face into the table was temptingᅳ but Sage couldn't take any chances right now, as much as it annoyed her at the moment.

"Don't say I didn't warn you", Fawn purred, her hand already on the doorknob. "Stay out of Charming or you might experience another loss." With these words the dark blonde left the office, leaving a frozen Sage behind.

Letting out a shaky breath, Sage walked over to the small couch and sat down, her hand still on her stomach as she stared at the old wooden floor and swallowed dryly.

She didn't doubt Fawn's threat. Fawn was someone who always got her way, that's how it always had been. Once the baby was born, Sage would make sure her youngest sister would regret her threat, and until then she had to stay in Seattle for the baby's protection and her own sanity. The stress here definitely wouldn't do her any good.

She just had to think about how exactly she could explain this to Happy without having to tell him about the conversation. If she would do that, all hell would break loose.
