- Harley -
He's just standing there in the shower, totally oblivious to everything around him. I quietly close the door behind me and undress before walking into the shower with him, I wrap my arms around his torso and lean my head against his back "You're not going to gt very clean by just standing there" I say teasingly but he says nothing, he doesn't even move. I Fucked up bad.
I turn him around and pout, "I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry. If I had of known what Ricci was up to I would never have of done it, but he knew I have no control but it's no excuse" I say craning my neck up to look at him, "I love you Harley" His voice comes out in a whisper, "I love you too jax".
I grab the loofa and body wash and I begin to clean his body, I've missed the way his skin felt against mine, I've never craved someone's touch so desperately. The water on the tiles beneath us becomes clear after a few minutes of washing his body, I grab the spare toothbrush and toothpaste and hand it to him, "Want me to do that too?" I ask smiling. "Nah I've got this kitten" He smiles back, I turn around and lather up the loofa again and begin to wash myself, he takes it from my hand and turns me around with the toothbrush hanging out of his mouth.
"Can i?" I roll my eyes and smirk at him, "Stop asking and just do it you big Marshmellow" I say poking his chest, he carefully lifts up my arm and begins to gently scrub my body, he moves to the other arm before moving to my chest, he scrunches his eyebrows together while he focuses and I have to bite my lip to stop myself from laughing, fuck me he is the cutest human being I have ever seen. His hands move down to my bump and he stops hesitantly, I grab his hands and place it on my stomach before looking up to meet his gaze.
I pull the toothbrush out of his mouth and smash my lips onto his, I can't wait any longer, this is more torture for me than it is for him, fucking hell one minute this man can make me want to blow his brains out across the floor the next I want to fuck the life out of him. I wrap my arms around my neck and his move to my lower back holding me so I don't slip, the kiss is slow and soft, yet so full of power and emotion, nothing else was needed to be said, the kiss said everything that we couldn't.
We get out of the shower and I wrap a towel around my body, I walk out to the bedroom and find the change of clothes one of the maids left, a pair of sweatpants and a shirt. I grab my duffle bag and bring it into the bathroom with me, I put his clothes on the bench and dig through the bag, "What are you looking for?" He questions as he finishes brushing his teeth.
"I remember I accident shoved a pair of your jocks in here when I was rushing" I dig some more and find it, "Here you go" I smile at him. I find a pair of pyjama shorts and a singlet, about the only thing I find comfortable these days, I dry off and get changed. I look over to Jax who's struggling to put the shirt over his body, "What size is this? Fucking toddler?" He growls to himself, I laugh and hand him one of the shirts I stole from him when I packed my bag.
"You packed my shirt too?" He asks while putting it over his body, "That one was on purpose, I sleep in it" I say chewing on my bottom lip, he looks at me out of the corner of his eye and smirks, "Just teasing kitten" I roll my eyes and look back into my bag "Well I hope the pants fit because I don't think I have any of yours in here" He pulls his jocks on and then the pants, they fit but they're a little snug, but god damn he looks good in them, what is it about a man in grey sweatpants? No Harley keep yourself together.
"You look exhausted, why don't we spend the rest of the day in bed we can watch movies and nap," I say while making my way across the room, he smiles and nods his head "Sound's perfect". I close the blinds in the room before I climb onto the large bed and get myself under the covers, I watch as Jax comes out of the bathroom and instantly crawls into bed with me. I roll over and press the buzzer on the bedside table, I hate using this thing but Ricci insists I do, something about a pregnant woman shouldn't have to get out of bed once she's in it, idiot he's just as bad as Jax.
"What did you do?" Jax looks at me confused, "Just wait" I say smiling as I roll back over to face him. A faint knock comes from the door, I sit up and call out for them to come in, "Hey Maree" She walks over to us and sits on the bed with a notepad in her hand and a pen, "Hello gorgeous, what are you feeling today?" This lovely woman has made sure all my favourite snacks are always in stock, "Can I please have a bottle of water and like a whole box of chicken nuggets the entire packet and a side of ranch, oh and can you please make Jax a burger with BLT and a beer, he hasn't eaten in a while" She smiles and nods her head, "Of course baby, I'll be back soon" She stands up from the bed and makes her way towards the door, "Thank you, Maree!" I call out.
"For real?" He asks surprised, "Yep, whatever time whatever I want, it's crazy" I lay back down and cuddle into his chest closing my eyes, his hand moves to the back of my head and softly strokes it we lay there in complete silence, "So you're still punished," I say in content, "Go on," He says. "No sex or sexual touching until Shelby gets those babies out, so like only a week, but if I find out you have been wanking I'll cut your hands off, if I find you cheating on me I'll burn down the place with you and the whore in it and listen to your delightful screams as I rub my baby bump" he hums for a second "No problem, end of the week it will be you begging for me to touch you" He replies smugly, I look up to see him smiling.
"What's so funny?" I ask as I being to brush my teeth, "You're so grumpy when you're pregnant" He laughs again, "Am not" I grumble to myself, okay maybe I am... Just a little... A tiny tiny bit. "When am I expected home?" I ask raising an eyebrow at him, "A week ago" He replies instantly, asshole. "Well actually, it was this morning but I think they would be fine with us being a few hours late", I nod my head and finish brushing my teeth "Well I guess I should pack huh?".
After packing I make my way into the kitchen to get something to eat while Jax calls the clubhouse to make sure it hasn't turned to shit under Gunner's control, fucked if I know why he chose Gunner, possibly the dumbest mistake he could have made, Shleby would have been the better choice.
I walk into the kitchen and see Maree and Ricci talking quietly together, my eyes travel to the bruises on his arm in the shape of a spoon, "Serves you right" I say startling both of them, I point to his arm and he looks at me sheepishly. "Look Mija I sh-" I hold up my hand and he shuts up instantly, I look over his shoulder to Maree who has a shit-eating grin on her face.
"I know, I forgive you, but if you pull that shit again it will be you in the middle of that ring, not my husband, not your workers, not your soldiers, YOU" I reply, He nods his head and walks over to me and kisses my cheeks. "It will never happen again and hopefully you will also not stab 5 of my men again, now go get your pretty boy and come down here for breakfast since I'm guessing you're leaving today" I nod my head and he softly smiles at me before turning on his heels to face Maree "Let's cook!".
After eating breakfast with everyone Jax and I said our goodbyes and headed towards the airport, Ricci insisted we use his jet so I can be comfortable, I'm not complaining. We sit down and get ourselves comfortable for the next few hours. I look out the window as the plane takes off, Jax's fingers rubbing over my hand pull my attention away from the fading landscape around us, I look over to him and he smiles before planting a soft kiss on my forehead.
He pulls me into his body and I melt into it instantly, how did I get so lucky? He sighs happily and closes his eyes, "We're going home".
