Kozik was tossing and turning all night. He couldn’t stop thinking about this deal with the cartel. He hadn’t been around that stuff in years and although he had no desire to go back to using, the temptation was definitely there every time a shipment came in.
Turning on his side he looked down at Harley was was laying on her side facing him. Her hair spread all over the pillow. Her face looked so at peace. This was the only time he saw her looking so peaceful. Even though she handled the club life better than anyone he’d ever known, the stress of it all weighed down on her heavily. Especially now that he was involved. He brushed a strand of hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ear. The small twitch of her nose made him smile. “I’m not fucking this up again babe. I promise you that.” He whispered against the top of her head as he took an inhale of her fruity smelling shampoo.
She pressed herself closer to him, kissing his chest softly. “I love you” she whispered and he brought his face down to hers, kissing her lips softly. She deepened the kiss, pulling him even more against her. She needed him. Need to feel his love. Needed to trust him. Sliding her fingertips inside his boxers, she wrapped her small hand around his very well endowed member, feeling him instantly harden at her touch, before she began stroking him slowly.
Kozik looked down at the smirk on her face before returning his gaze to her hand in his boxers. A low groan escaped his lips as he placed a hand on her perfectly round ass pulling her closer to him.
Harley continued to stroke his dick, her eyes closed she leaned up to press her lips against his. He kissed back with hunger as her hand tightened around his throbbing cock. She needed him inside of her.
Kozik laid her on her back slowly, not wanting her hand to pull away. He slide his hands from her ass and around her hip to her tiny lace panties she wore to bed. Dropping his hand down lower he could feel the heat and wetness coming from over the fabric before he pressed a fingertip directly over her center. Her moan drove him crazy and he instantly tore off the panties tossing them over to the floor. His hand sliding back up her smooth thigh to her soaking pussy finding her clit before running the small nub between his rough fingers. Her eyes rolled back at the sensation and she bit back a moan, looking up in his fiery eyes with last written in them. His fingers found her opening and he slid to inside of her. Her full lips parted into a moan as her felt her tighten around his fingers. He began moving them in and out, curling them slightly to find her spot and felt her squirm under him. Her breathing getting heavy as she pulled his head closer to hers. Kissing him harder than before, her teeth grazing his bottom lip.
“Love me” she whispered into the kiss. His hands pulled away from her to push her tank top off as she lowered his boxers. Her rolled over on top of her. Passionately kissing her, he positioned himself between her legs. His tip sliding up and down between her soaking wet slit teasingly pressing her entrance only to feel it tighten. Her looked down in her eyes with need before burying himself deep inside of her.
She closed her eyes tightly allowing herself to feel the pain and pleasure of being stretched. He leaned up on his elbows, his lips brushing against hers pecking them lightly as he took in her beautiful face. Placing one hand on her thigh, he lifted it further up before he started moving in and out inside of her. Leaning his forehead against hers keeping their eyes closed taking in the friction.
Harley rocked her hips under his, one hand on his ass pulling him in deeper, the other around his neck keeping him close. Their sweaty bodies moving against each other only intensified the ecstasy they felt. Lifting her hips further against him, making him slid in even deeper than before, she couldn’t take it anymore. With a few more thrusts she she was over the edge as she tightened more around his dick. Her back arching as she let out a loud moan.
He leaned up on his arms watching her. That face alone was enough to do it for him but the tightness around him made him still as he released inside of her, wrapping both arms tightly around her. Both holding onto each other from their mind blowing orgasms trying to steady their breathing.
“I love you Herman Kozik.” She whispered into the crook of his neck as he rolled off pulling her into his side against him. “I love you Harley Kozik.” She smiled at the thought. He had no idea the surprise she had planned for him later. Maybe someday her last name would change too.
The guys returned from the warehouse, everyone looked upset as they stormed inside the clubhouse. Gemma and Harley watched from the doorway of the office.
“Oh great.” She heard Gemma mumble behind her. “Shit’s already happening. Tell him after church baby, it’ll lighten his mood.”
Harley nodded and walked over to her purse pulling out some sheets of paper before walking out to the clubhouse. The men were still in church so she sat by the bar with Half Sack for a few minutes before the doors swung open. Harley saw the men’s faces and knew something big was going on but her family came first. Kozik walked up to her, putting his hands on her waist before giving her a soft kiss.
Kissing him back she smiled and handed him the paperwork. He looked confused as he looked it over. “What’s this babe?”
Her smile got bigger as she looked up at him “That’s the paperwork to change Belle’s last name to Kozik. And the other one is to put your name on her birth certificate. All you have to do is sign.”
He looked up at her stunned. “Seriously?” He smiled wide as she nodded.
“You’ve really such an amazing father Koz. That little girl adores you and I want it to be official. You deserve it.”
He lifted her up in his arms hugging her tightly while he spun them around. She laughed and wrapped her arms and legs around him. “ I love you babe.” he whispered into her neck.
“I love you Koz” She smiled before pressing her lips on his. He placed her down and got a pen from Half Sack and signing the paperwork. Happy and Jax came over to join in the excitement – anything to get their minds off earlier today.
As they were all talking, the clubhouse doors flew open and Clay burst in. Without saying a word he stormed into the chapel shutting the doors behind him. All the men got serious again and Harley looked up at Jax, whose face was scrunched in annoyance. “What happened today?”
Jax shook his head and grabbed another beer. “We went to the warehouse and there was a bag missing. We were supposed to have 30 and we did when we counted yesterday but there was only 29 this morning.”
Harley’s blood went cold. When Jax went away, Harley grabbed Kozik’s hand pulling him into the empty garage. His confused look pissed her off even more. “Tell me it wasn’t you.” She said in a lowered tone of voice.
“What?” he asked floored by the accusation coming from her.
“Tell me you weren’t the one to steal the key of coke Kozik!” Her voice now louder. The deathly seriousness in her tone instantly angered him.
“Are you fuckin’ kidding me? First you tell me how good I’ve been now you’re accusing me of stealing from my own club?!” He was shaking in anger as he clenched and unclenched his fists.
“Answer the fucking question!” she shouted as she shoved him back into one of the cars.
“Fuck off Harley!” He shoved her off into a cart holding tools and walked out of the garage mumbling under his breath as he drove off on his bike.
“Where’s he going?” Gemma asked as Harley walked out to the lot holding her lower back with her hand from hitting the cart.
“To rot in hell for all I fucking give a shit. I’m late for meeting Tara at the park. Where’s Belle?”
Gemma sighed and shook her head “Inside with Sack”
Nodding, Harley walked off to grab Belle. She tucked the sleepy toddler into her carseat and took off in her truck. She called Tara and told her she’d be a little late so she could get her emotions in check.
Harley drove around for a while just to clear head. Belle was sleeping in the car seat in the back so she had time to think everything over. She finally pulled over at a gas station and laid her head on her steering wheel. She felt the sting of tears on her eyes she closed them tightly to even her breathing. She couldn’t take the thought of losing him again. Not like this.
“Mama, did daddy make you sad?” she heard her daughters sleepy voice and quickly wiped her tears.
“No baby, we just had a little arguement. “
“Will daddy have to go away again?”
“No baby Belle. No, daddy’s here for good.” She spoke lightly trying to convince herself more than Belle.
After filling up the car, she drove to the park where Tara and Abel were hanging around. Belle ran over first while she grabbed her bag and came after her. Sitting on the blanket next to them pulling out Belle’s sandwich.
“You alright?” Tara asked looking at her best friends weary face.
Harley shook her head and looked over at the kids before answering in a low voice. “Argument with Koz. Shit got out of hand pretty fast over my trust issues.” Tara nodded in understanding and rubbed Harley’s back.
Gemma walked into the clubhouse and joined Clay over by the couch. Kozik had come back and was moping around after not finding Harley.
“What’s his deal?” Clay asked, not even looking at her.
“Got in another fight with Harley.” She shrugged.
“You know where she is? He’s been askin’ everyone.”
“She’s at the park with Tara and the kids.” She answered as she looked at Clay’s whole body tense up.
“Shit!” he stood up quickly and walked into the chapel to make a phone call.
Gemma looked at him now baffled more than ever by his behaviour lately.
The women were wrapping things up at the park. Belle was going to go with Tara and Abel to a movie but Harley wanted to go take care of things with Kozik. After moving the car seat over to Tara’s car, they buckled in the babies. Harley gave Tara a hug.
“Take it easy sweetheart. If Gemma tries to come at you again you let me know.” Tara nodded.
A black van pulled up next to them and before Harley could wrap her head around it, Tara was screaming and trying to pull away as someone had grabbed her. “Tara!” Harley banged her fists has hard as she could at the guys face and as he let go of Tara, another one scooped her up into the truck. She banged her head against the door and was knocked out cold.
Jax was in church when his phone rang. The caller ID said Tara and he ignored it but then it rang again. He looked around at the guys before answering the phone. “What is it babe?”
“Jax! I was at the park with Harley and the kids when a van pulled up and tried to take me but Harley hit them and they took her instead and drove off. They slammed the door on my hand I’m on my way to the hospital! Unser has the kids he’s on his way to you guys.”
She spoke so fast he froze. “ Who took Harley, Tara?”
Everyone’s attention immediately turned to Jax as Kozik stood up. “What?!”
“ I don’t know Jax! They were speaking spanish I have no idea! It happened so fast!” He could hear the pain and fear in her voice.
“I’m heading right over there babe stay put!” He stood up and looked at everyone then at Kozik. “Someone tried to take Tara at the park, Harley stopped them but they grabbed her instead”
“Who?!” He demanded
“She said they were speaking spanish but that’s all she got.” He answered before looking over at Clay who was staring down at the table hard.
“Fuckin’ Christ, Harley! Always has to get herself in some shit over other people!” He slammed his fist into the wall.
Happy put his hand on Kozik’s shoulder. “We’ll find her.”
Jax nodded in agreement. “Unser’s on his way over with the kids. I’ll have my mother stay with them while we go to the hospital see if we could get anymore information.”
“Fuck! Are the kids okay?!” He looked up at Jax trying to control his anger.
“Yeah just scared shitless.” He answered before looking over at Clay who still hadn’t said a word. “Let’s go.”
The guys walked out of church as Unser was coming in. “Daddy!” he heard Isabelle as she ran over to him crying. “They took mommy! Daddy, they took mommy!”
He held his crying daughter in his arms and wiped her tears. “Shh, daddy’s going to find her baby. It’s alright. I need you to stay with nana for a bit alright.” The toddler nodded as he handed her to Gemma before heading outside on to his bike to meet everyone at the hospital.
Harley came too a few hours later. She was handcuffed to a radiator in what appeared to be a bedroom. Still groggy she rubbed her eyes slowly looking around. Her head was pounding, placing her hand on the back of her head felt something wet. Looking at her hand she saw blood. “Fuck.” She whispered as she immediately looked down only to see she was still clothed. Immediate relief went over her.
“You got the wrong one moron!” She heard through the doorway.
“Who gives a shit. Maybe we can just use her as an example?”
“Who gives a shit? I give a shit. Does she look anything like the bitch in this picture? No. We were paid to take out the fucking brunette not her! Romeo told you how fucking important the deal with the Sons was. He needed this favor to show them he was loyal. How could you fuck this up?!”
“I had the other one but this cunt kept hitting me and I lost my grip and Rick grabbed her.”
“Can’t do shit right unless I do it myself. You fucking morons! What do we tell Romeo!”
Harley listened closely and tried to keep as quiet as possible. The fuck would they want with Tara. Who would pay them to take her out? She’s just a doctor. The door opened and two men came in. She pretended to still be knocked out so they wouldn’t ask her anything.
“Call Romeo, ask him how we can get this bitch back to the Sons.” She heard footsteps and was relieved when one of them left. She felt the other one close and he started slapping her cheek to “wake” her. Opening her eyes slowly she looked at him.
“Good you’re not dead. Can’t afford anymore collateral damage. What are you to the Sons of Anarchy MC?”
Harley’s eyes narrowed but she didn’t say a word. He cocked his hand back and slapped her hard making her bounce her temple off the radiator she was cuffed to. She spit out blood and looked up at him again getting angier.
“I asked you a question puta. You’d be smart to answer” He grabbed the collar of her shirt pulling her closer to him. She felt the yanking of the cuff at her wrist and yelped in pain.
Again she said nothing. He slapped her hard again splitting her cheek. She let out a scream in pain and wiped some blood off with her free hand.
“What are you!? Old lady? Daughter? Baby Momma? Or just some groupie?” he asked pressing his face closer to her. She took her shot and bit his nose hard. He screamed and pushed her back into the wall hard. She smirked through the pain and looked up at him.
“Fucking cute ain’t ya” He got up and kicked her in the head knocking her out again.
Tara had to be put in surgery to repair her hand which got split open when the van’s door closed on it. They couldn’t get any information from the sheriffs, Unser, or Tara. Kozik was pacing around the waiting room while Jax sat with his face in his hands. The Son’s were all there angry as fuck trying to make phone calls to figure out what was going on. Even Half Sack who was usually calm and cheerful was livid. Alvarez from the Mayans had assured them it wasn’t them and the only other spanish speakers would have been the cartel.
Gemma walked in looking at all the faces. “What happened?” She asked closing the waiting room door behind her.
“Someone tried to take Tara, Harley was able get them off her but they grabbed her instead.” Jax told her. Gemma’s face went pale as she looked down at Clay who was staring at the ground. His phone went off and he stepped out of the room.
Gemma looked back over at Kozik whose face was dark red in anger. She walked over to him hugging him tightly. “We’ll find her baby. She’s a tough broad, she’ll be fine.” Kozik felt his eyes water and ran a hand over his face. He nodded at Gemma and took a deep breath.
“How’s Tara?” she asked Jax.
Her son shook his head and looked down at the ground. “she had severe nerve damage. the van door slammed on her hand.” He took a deep breath at the thought. “Doctor said she might lose use of her hand but they’re in surgery now. Even best case scenario, she will never be able to perform surgery again.”
Gemma’s hand covered her mouth in disbelief. Her eyes looking out the window at Clay who was talking on the phone. He promised her he wouldn’t do anything. She knew this shitstorm was because of him.
He stepped back in and looked around at all their faces. “ Romeo says he can find out who has her. We should know by tomorrow.”
Kozik hit the wall again. Who knows what was happening to Harley and they couldn’t do shit till tomorrow.
Gemma arrived home to see Clay seated at the dining room table in the dark.
“You gave me your word you weren’t going to do anything! Now look. Tara’s in the hospital with a dead hand and Harley’s been taken. Harley! You know the blonde who’s more about SAMCRO than half the fucking members? Harley! You’re goddamn goddaughter!” She shouted.
He stood up closing the distance between them. “Shut your goddamn mouth. You think I don’t fucking know any of this!? She wasn’t supposed to be there. It was collateral damage.”
Gemma slapped him. “Don’t fucking talk about her like she’s some fucking outsider who got in the way. She fucking protected another Old Lady!”
He grabbed her arms hard and shook her. “Stay the fuck out of this. What I do for my club is my fucking business. You’re a fucking old lady as much as you fucking prance around like you own the place. Do as you’re told and keep your mouth shut.”
Gemma was furious with the way he spoke to her. She cocked back and punched him in the face knocking him back onto the table and tried to run when he charged after her.
