Chapter 17

Lug Nut
I get a call from Anna saying that she and Merigold are meeting Ailee down at the dispensary. This will give me a chance to meet Ailee outside the club so I better get my ass down there. As soon as I end the call I run out of the clubhouse and jump on my bike. It takes me less than ten minutes to get there. I park in the back lot and let myself in through the back door. I straighten up my clothes real quick. I’m not about to meet my girl looking like shit. I run my fingers through my hair and head out front.
I don’t see Ailee yet but I know she will be here any minute. “ Hey man. What are you doing here? I didn’t see you on the schedule for today.” Goof asks. “ Not working. Just came in to help out for a few.” I could tell Goof didn’t believe me but I didn’t give a shit. Before Goof could ask anything else the front door jingled to let us know a customer had come in. Callen came in first to scope the place out. Once he gave the all clear with a slight nod Ailee came in followed Finn. Yes I know how it works with them. I pulled every detail from Merigold that I could. I had been not so patiently waiting for a chance to meet my girl face to face. Merigold had said she would help me get this chance I just had to make sure I didn’t fuck it up. Callen went to the counter while Ailee looked around. God she was gorgeous. She was just wearing jeans and a green graphic tee shirt but damn she looked hot. The jeans are hugging her ample hips and showcasing her plump ass perfectly.
The shirt looked like it was painted on covering her ample tits. But what stole the show was the way the sun shone through the window casting her in a light that made her red hair look like it was on fire and the rest of her glow. Did she even have a clue how beautiful she is? I don’t think she did. Even though she is a princess in two worlds she has never come across as snobby or stuck up. I don’t think she has a vain bone in her delectable body. Goof laughs at me staring at Ailee “ Just came in to help out for a bit. Sure.” “ Shut the fuck up” I grumble.

The bell rings again and Merigold walks in with Anna behind her. That’s my cue. Anna and Merigold are helping with the introductions so they go smoothly. I get to Merigold’s side when she turns to Ailee. “ Ailee, I would like you to meet my dear friend and brother Lug Nut. Anna promised to have our best guy here take care of you and this is him.” “ It is a pleasure to meet you Ailee.” And man it is a pleasure. I haven’t been this close to her to catch her scent. Honeysuckle and lavender, an interesting combination but it works on her.
I hold out my hand to Ailee as she looks around me. What is she looking for I wonder? Ailee takes my hand and I shit you not, I feel a spark go up my arm straight to my cock making the fucker stand at attention. I know I hear Ailee gasp so I know she felt it too. “ I didn't recognize you without your entourage.”Damn that accent is sexy as fuck. I can’t wait to hear it when she is screaming my name. But first I have to win her over. “ I have no need for used up toys.”
She smirks at that. Good. Callen interrupts with the papers Aille needs to sign to get her started. I take the paperwork from him “ I’ll help yall with this.” I look over everything to make sure it is in order. I know she is here to get something for her nausea but I need to know what she was looking for. If she even knew what she was looking for. “ So everything looks in order with your paperwork. I have just a few questions for you so we can find the right fit for you. First question, is do you know what types of products you might be interested in?”
Ailee looked at Callen, then Merigold for help.” I, um. I’m not sure.” Poor Ailee looks so lost. “ That’s ok. How about this? I’ll explain each one and you just let me know when you find one you might be interested in trying. And then we can go from there.” Ailee relaxed “ Aye I would like that. Thank ye.” I led Ailee to a table in the corner so she would be comfortable while we talked. Callen sat with us as I first explained everything from smoking pot to edibles. Ailee quickly eliminated anything that involved smoking. No problem. It left anything she could ingest. We had several that could be put in her food so she would never taste it.
Ailee and Callen seemed to think those were the best option for her. After we settled on that we talked about strength. Ailee had never touched marijuana in her life so she had no idea what the effects would be. I warned her about being sleepy, hungry, very relaxed, even uncontrollable giggles. Which got her laughing. Man, I loved that sound. “ But it will definitely take away the nausea and vomiting.” Ailee whispered like she didn’t want anyone to know what she was dealing with.
I grabbed her hands in mine and looked in her eyes. Did I mention she has the most unusual but memorizing eyes I have ever seen? Gunmetal gray with flecks of gold in them. Absolutely amazing. I could get lost in them all day and never get tired. “ Ailee I give you my solemn promise this stuff I'm giving you will absolutely help you with the nausea if not take it away completely.” “ Let’s try it then. “ Ailee agrees. We settle on the weakest strength we have to start advising them that we can always adjust it up if it is needed.I tell them to meet me at the counter while I get what she needs. My back is to Ailee but I can see her out of the corner of my eye. She is standing just to the side of me to watch her. I watch her eye me up and down while biting her lip. She is definitely checking me out. Callen taps her on her shoulder and I swear she almost jumps a foot off the floor. Callen asks “ Alright Ailee?” Her face turns a lovely shade of red that runs down her neck. I wonder how far that flush runs.
Ailee stammers “ Aye. Just fine.” She waves her hand around “ So many interesting things to look at.” Merigold and Anna snicker. Ailee turns even redder. She knows she has been caught. Callen says “ Well if you are done checking out the display we can get going.” and winks. I turn just as Ailee’s jaw drops. Merigold's whole body is shaking trying not to laugh out loud. Anna winks at me and nods. Ailee composes herself quickly and says “ Well had the display not been such a pleasantly tempting package to look at I wouldn’t have been staring at it. Now would I.”
Well now pleasantly tempting am I. I have never been called that before. I like it. And I like that when she was caught she didn’t deny it or blow it off. Nope she owned that shit like a boss. And to show she wasn’t ashamed or embarrassed Ailee turns to me and does another pass with her eyes. This time she is slow in her perusal of me. I back up a bit so her eyes can get a full view of me. When she gets to my dick that is now pushing against my jeans begging to be let out she stops and lips twitch in a small grin. When her eyes finally make their way back to mine she smiles so bright her eyes light up. “ Aye very tempting.” Oh yea that is my girl.
Callen makes a choking sound “ We should get going.” He takes Ailee’s bag off the counter and heads toward the door with Ailee in tow. I shout real quick “ I’ll be seeing you around Ailee.” Ailee looks over her shoulder and winks “ Merigold knows where to find me.” Without a look back they leave.
Anna laughs “ I honestly thought you would have to work harder to get her interest.” I wave my hand up and down my body. “ When you are working with this it’s easy.” Merigold doubled over laughing. It is good to see her like that after last week even if it is at my expense. “ Oh Ailee is definitely interested in the body but will be turned off by the mouth.” Goof snickers. “ And don’t for a second think this is going to be easy. It is going to take a lot more than that body to prove you are the real deal. If she wanted a play thing, which I have it on good authority she doesn’t, she has that readily available from any of Cormac’s men. She wants something real for however long she can have it.”
I have to keep from rolling my eyes. Merigold punches my shoulder “ I’m serious Lug. I’m trusting you because so far you haven’t let me down. You have asked for my help and I’m giving it to you. What I’m about to say doesn’t leave this room. Ailee is fighting this cancer with everything she has. She is also trying to live her life to the fullest. But she has prepared herself to lose. She is not counting on Ace to help her. Ailee has called him a lost cause. As for other donors Callen says she is low on the list; it could take a year or more to find a match. And her being of mixed heritage makes it even harder. Callen told me that when she was diagnosed every person in the O’Sullivan organization volunteered to be tested. That’s how well loved she is. But with all that Finn says if it gets too much for her to handle he fears she will give up.”
“ What the fuck do you mean she will give up?” I shout. “ I mean she will stop all treatments. So Lug if you aren’t 100% serious about this don’t bother pursuing her. You are going to have to give her something to hold on to.” Merigold stresses. “ And what would that be?” I ask although I think I already know the answer. “ All of you. Heart, body and soul. Not just pieces. Love, comfort, loyalty, friendship.” She confirmed what I was thinking. I pull Merigold into a hug.
“ Ailee is going to get all of me, I promise. I’m going to be such a good man to her I’m going to make your husbands look like chumps. She won’t be a princess, she will be my queen.” I say. “ As it should be.” Anna says. “ Lug, brother I’m happy you are finding yourself an old lady. But get that sappy shit out of here.” Goof says. We all laugh and make our way out of the store. I did my job for the day. I got Ailee the meds that will help her and laid the groundwork for me to get in her heart.
