Once I was fully dressed I removed my phone from my pocket and lay on the bed beside Sam, she was now asleep and making cute noises making me snigger. I saw that I had a message from CJ and pressed the screen to read the text.
Thanks for getting me home, don't remember a fucking thing after the car ride
I typed a response,
That's what mates are for
It wasn't long before I received a response.
Appreciate it. Where are you?
With Sam
Okay mate, enjoy!
I spent this time going through my facebook and emails, making sure everything was under control. I'd been contacted again by Tia but I simply deleted the message as I didn't want to talk to her. I didn't really know why she kept making contact but I was hoping that she'd get bored and move on. She was marrying Boyd so she shouldn't be making contact with me anyway but that was Tia, always fighting for attention.
Sam stirred and I stopped what I was doing trying not to pull her from her sleep but it was too late, she opened her eyes and gave me a huge smile.
"Sorry, I must have nodded off." I sniggered at her comment. "What?" she asked confused by my reaction.
"You fell asleep straight after your orgasm babe but I'll let you off as you're cute when you sleep."
Sam rolled her eyes, "Cute!"
"Yeah cute." Sam stretched and the cover fell away slightly to reveal her tits, "You have an impressive rack."
"Thank you," she replied blushing slightly. She wasn't good at receiving compliments, but I was going to change that because she was a beautiful looking bird that needed to be told more often.
Sam rolled over and laid her head on my chest, her head rose and fell as I tried to calm my breathing, as her mere presence had an effect on my senses.
"I forgot to tell you that Spyder has given me a phone."
My eyes widened at the revelation, "Really?"
She nodded her head, "He's increased my privileges, I'm allowed to go shopping now for two hours and I can use the phone to call home but everything is monitored."
"That's progress babe. Well I want you to take down my mobile number," I got up from the bed and walked over to the desk. I picked up the pen left by the phone and wrote down my number and the address to my parent's house as I wanted to invite her to a family party tomorrow but didn't know how to ask her.
"You can get me anytime on this, if your calls are being monitored though only dial it from that phone he's given you in an absolute emergency, I don't want you getting into trouble." I sat on the edge of the bed and Sam rose to cuddle up beside me, "Why won't you just leave with me today, right now. I can't protect you when you go back to him each evening, and it's killing me Sam. I need to know you're safe."
I heard her sigh, "You know I can't Jay." She turned her head to look at me, "You said it'll be a couple of day's right?" I slowly nodded, CJ had everything in place we just needed to organise someone to watch over Sam's sister when it all kicked off so we should be good to go by the weekend. "Well then. It's been two years, another couple of days aren't going to hurt." I gently placed my hand on her cheek and caressed her skin with my thumb. She leaned into my touch and her reaction told me that she was developing true feelings for me. I had wondered at first if she was just going through the motions but Sam was an open book and very much wore her heart on her sleeve.
"Can I ask you something?" I asked unsure as to what she'd say.
"That sounds ominous."
"Not at all, if you're allowed out for two hours do you think you'll be able to come to a gathering at my parent's house tomorrow?"
Her face lit up excitedly, "What time are they having it?"
"Around 4.00pm, they want all of the family there so you'll get to meet everyone. I'll understand if that's too much but I'd like you there."
"I can't promise but I can try." And I knew that she would, she was genuinely happy that I had invited her.
I glanced at my watch, time was ticking away and I was nearing the end of my booked session. I let out a heavy sigh hoping that I wouldn't always have to see her with a time limit. Standing from the bed I removed my wallet and flicked through the notes taking out the required amount and threw them onto the desk.
"I don't want your money Jay." I turned to see the frown on her face as Sam glance at the notes.
I walked towards her and knelt between her legs, this wasn't an easy move for me but I wanted to be close, "I know it's not the ideal situation but if it's the only way I can see you at the moment then it will have to do." Sam nodded her head understanding. "I hope I won't have to keep on paying for it either because I'd be bankrupt the amount I want to shag you, but you can't go back to him empty handed either." I glanced at my watch again conscious of the time, I didn't want to be here when Spyder came to collect her so I knew I'd need to leave soon. I leaned on the bed to help me stand and composed myself, I couldn't stand the thought of her going back to him. I needed to speak to CJ and make sure that it was still happening this weekend despite his injuries.
"I better be off," I glanced at Sam to see her playful pout and smiled at this strong woman in front of me. Despite everything that had gone on in her life she still managed a positive outlook and tried to be strong. I leaned down and bit her lip before sucking it into my mouth gently. She smiled and closed her eyes enjoying the close contact. "That's what I do to your other lips," I stated playfully before she slapped me on the arm. "What?" I asked standing tall.
"Stop being disgusting and get out!"
"Oh I see, you're just using and abusing me." I gave her a playful wink and casually strolled to the door. Turning back towards her, "Remember if you need anything then just give me a call babe." I opened the door and turned left preferring to use the stairwell today rather than the lifts, I really didn't want to bump into Spyder as I wouldn't be held accountable for my actions.
Chapter 8
Jayden
"So where is your friend?" Paige asked digging me in the ribs with her elbow.
"Do you mind that hurts!" I scolded her. She was in a playful mood this afternoon which was lovely to see.
"Don't change the subject Jay, is she your girlfriend?" Paige turned towards me with a huge grin.
"Girlfriend?" Chloe overheard and made her way towards us.
"She's just a friend that so happens to be a girl." I stated before taking a sip of my drink.
"So where did you meet her?" Chloe asked, ever the romantic looking for that perfect love story and happy ever after. I sniggered at her question as there was no way I was telling them how we met.
"Ooh delaying tactics that means it's a juicy piece of information that he's not going to share." Paige could read me like a book, and she was right I wasn't sharing.
"I don't ask you two how you meet your blokes."
"I don't mind telling you how I met Cade but you may be a little embarrassed." Paige chuckled and Chloe pulled a disgusted face clearly not wanting to hear the story. It amazed me how twin sisters could be so different but that's how I liked it as I got different things from each of them.
"So what's she like then, describe her please Jay." Chloe was in excited mode.
"Give it up will ya, she'll be here soon enough so you can see her in the flesh." I took another sip of my drink feeling a little anxious if she'd turn up at all. Spyder was giving her more freedom these days but she still had to monitor his moods and needed to keep that trust to enable him to give her some time alone.
The group were under surveillance, it was costing me a small fortune but it would hopefully lead to the safe release of all the girls. We could go to the police but I was worried that they wouldn't handle it correctly and Spyder would end up with a piss poor sentence. CJ had assured me that he'd get what was coming to him and I trusted him more than the police. Everything was in place for tomorrow, and I was a little anxious how it was all going to play out but I hadn't given Sam any details as I thought it was best that she didn't know what was going
to happen.
"Anyway Chloe, enough about my love life how's yours going?" I gave her a wink and Paige sniggered as Chloe turned a lovely shade of scarlet.
"What has she told you?" Chloe whispered moving closer.
"That a certain someone from the club has caught your eye." I kept my voice low, as much as I enjoyed winding Chloe up I didn't want to announce it to the world and blow any chances of her finding happiness.
She let out a sigh, "It's difficult."
"It always is babe but if it's what you want then you've gotta fight for it." I placed my arm around her shoulders and pulled her in close. "How does he feel about you?"
"We didn't really get a chance to see what may become of it because Duke put a stop to everything." I nodded my head understanding the situation, if Duke was involved then she was screwed. "Don't worry Chloe it'll sort itself out." I said reassuringly but I wasn't holding out much hope. She gave me a small smile but this turned to a huge grin as she looked over my shoulder.
"Hi," I heard the familiar voice from behind me and turned around to be greeted by the most beautiful woman I knew.
"Hi babe, how're you doing?" I asked walking up beside her to lay a light kiss on her cheek. She immediately blushed as she looked at the girls assessing her.
"Sam, this is Paige and this is Chloe, and that over there is Tyler my younger brother." I stated pointing to Tyler who was just leaving a group of people to make his way over to us standing on the lawn.
"Nice to meet you all," Sam said politely but I could see that she was feeling a little uncomfortable from the attention.
I snaked my arm around her waist and she leaned into my body relieved by my touch.
"Well hello there, you must be Sam," Tyler extended his hand to take Sam's and shook it. "Now when he told me he had a pretty girlfriend I laughed because he isn't the best looking Watson but he wasn't lying." I rolled my eyes and tightened the grip I had around Sam's waist, she glanced in my direction with an unreadable expression before returning her attention to the group. Her smile let me know that she was okay and it was good to see her out of a hotel room and enjoying herself.
"So what do you do for a living?" Chloe asked genuinely intrigued. Trust Chloe to ask such a question but she wasn't doing it to catch Sam out, she was just a people person and wanted to talk to her.
"I work in sales," I took a sip of my drink to try to hide my smirk.
"And what do you sell?" Tyler asked getting in on the conversation.
"I work in the entertainment business." I couldn't hold it in any longer, I spat my drink out through laughing at her obviously rehearsed answer. I coughed and spluttered as I tried to gain my composure and Sam patted my back trying to calm me through my fits of giggles.
"Is he pissed?" Tyler asked pointing towards me.
"I don't think so, I'll go and get you a napkin," Chloe walked into the house to get something so I could clean myself with.
Sam narrowed her eye's and glared at me, "What?" I mouthed so no one else could hear.
"You know what, don't try to show me up or embarrass me."
"Ah babe that's not what I'm trying to do, it just surprised me. I hadn't thought of how you may answer that question."
"And remember it's not through choice." Sam huffed folding her arms across her chest.
"I pulled her to one side, "Stop it, I didn't mean anything by it babe. I'm sorry, I really am. I invited you here this afternoon to meet my family, hopefully that tells you something about how I feel." She looked at me questioningly, "No declarations of love yet babe but we need to get you out of there asap and I'm hoping with the information CJ has it could be as early as tomorrow."
"Really?"
I nodded my head, "We just need to see how much manpower he has."
"And how's it looking?
"All in our favour."
Sam leaned forward and kissed me sweetly on the cheek, "Thank you."
"You don't need to thank me babe, I'm just doing what any human being would do."
"See that's where you're wrong."
"Foods ready!" Mum shouted from the doorway of the house.
Everyone made their way into the kitchen to help themselves to the food on offer but I grabbed Sam's hand and pulled her back.
"What's up?" she asked drawing her brows.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay."
Sam smiled sweetly, "I'm fine. I was a little nervous about coming here this afternoon, but your family seem lovely so I'm pleased that I came."
"What time do you have to leave?"
"He's given me two hours today so I need to be back around 5.00pm which means I can stay for something to eat."
"Why don't you just stay and don't go back, I can protect you babe. The club won't see any harm come to you."
"We've spoken about this, I have the other girls to think about also. He may take things out on them for me escaping and I couldn't do that to them."
"Come here," I wrapped her in my arms and pulled her close kissing her on the top of her head. "Your selfless all the time babe, you have such a kind heart."
"Please don't!"
"Don't what?" I loosened my grip and held her at arm's length to see her unshed tears.
"Be nice all the time."
"What the fuck you talking about? I give credit where credit is due, a compliment is said to make the other person feel good not make them unhappy."
"Yeah I know and I'm sorry but I'm not very good at accepting compliments."
"Well you'd better learn and fast because if you're with me that's what you'll be getting." I brought her in for a hug again, wrapping my arms around her tightly.
"Is that what you want?"
"Yes." I couldn't begin to tell her much I wanted that.
"Despite everything I've told you?"
"Yes, despite everything you've told me because that just makes me like you more. That's what's shaped you into the person you've become and that's what's allowed you to come into my life." I said throwing her words back at her. Sam stood on tip toes to reach my mouth and took the lead in kissing me passionately.
"Ahhhh," I heard in chorus behind me as Chloe and Paige watched us kiss. I pulled away conscious of the attention we were getting and turned towards the group, "Can't we have a little privacy?"
"Not at a family party, no." Paige smiled and stood between us wrapping her arms firmly around our shoulders. "Mum wants you in there tasting her food, play nice Jayden and don't upset her."
I rolled my eyes and Paige let go of her grasp to release us into the unknown, I grabbed for Sam's hand and walked into the house.
"Ahhh there you are Jayden, there's plenty of food help yourself." Mum waved her hand over the table. "It's also lovely to meet you Sam," Mum said smiling.
I picked up two plates and gave one to Sam before I started to put food on the other. I wasn't really hungry but mum had gone to so much trouble to make an effort that it was rude not to eat some of it. As we walked around the table selecting our food, I noticed Justice look at Sam as he narrowed his eyes. He looked up and as our eyes met he flicked his head indicating for me to come over.
My body filled with dread, I knew Sam didn't know anything about the MC so I'd hoped that she hadn't been with any members over the years but from the look on Justice's face I was fearing the worst.
"What's up Justice?"
"How's everything going?" he nodded towards Sam.
"Well I'm assuming by your line of questioning that you know what she does for a living." He looked at me surprised that I knew. "We don't have secrets, in fact that's how I met her."
Justice nodded his head, "I was just going to make you aware in case you didn't know."
"Please also tell me that you haven't fucked her."
Justice sniggered and placed his hand on his chest, "Hand on heart, I swear I haven't fucked her." She's not my type Jay, not enough meat on her bones." I rolled my eyes at his comment. Mr Picky himself had just revealed that he liked a large
r lady, well that was interesting.
"So how do you recognise her then?" I asked referring to Sam.
"She was at a party a couple of months back, but she didn't stay long that bloke that's always sniffing around the girls was there being a prick."
"Spyder?" he looked at me confused. "Black bloke, shaved head, stands around 6 ft drives a Range Rover."
Justice nodded his head, "That's the one. I don't trust him, there's just something about him that don't sit right. I mean Jackal's a fucking prick but this bloke looks like he needs a good hiding."
"You couldn't be much closer to the truth." I said under my breath as Sam made her way over to stand with us.
"Problem?"
"Nah, it's getting sorted."
"You know where I am if you need me." I smiled as I appreciated his kindness. "I'll leave you to it."
"Is everything okay?" Sam asked sweetly as she stood by my side.
I bent down to give her a quick kiss on the top of her head, "It is now."
The next thirty minutes flew by, and before long it was time for Sam to leave. She didn't want any of us to give her a lift as she didn't want to be seen, Sam needed to get back to the shopping centre as that's where Spyder was picking her up from. I didn't want her going back to the house empty handed as he'd ask what she'd been doing for the past two hours, so I'd gone out earlier this morning and purchased some items of clothing for her. As we stood outside waiting for her taxi I gave her the bags.
"What are these?" she asked looking inside and lifting out some of the garments.
"You can't go back empty handed again, he'd start asking questions."
"You went out and purchased these for me?"
I nodded my head, "I've taken the receipts out as they have the time of purchase printed on them but if you need to exchange anything you can have them back at a later date."
Sam placed the bags onto the ground and wrapped her arms firmly around me. "What did I do to deserve you?" she asked before leaning in to give me a kiss.
