Chapter 13

Merigold
I walked in and saw Tank sitting at the bar. I haven't seen him since that bad day and I was a little nervous. He looked up at me as I got close. " It's about time you got your ass back here, Princess," he said and gave me a big hug. " And here I thought I needed to bring a peace offering," I said. I reached in my bag and pulled a tin of home red velvet cookies with white chocolate chips and handed it to him. He lifted the lid, got one out, and took a bite. " Princess, you don't need an excuse to bring these around. They are awesome. Thank you. Viper gave me some of that chicken parm you made. You sure can cook."
" Well, aren't you sweet? And you are welcome. Why don't you come over for dinner on Sunday? I'm treating Viper to some good old southern comfort food" I say. " " Princess I'll be there. Just tell me a time." Tank says. " Better be there by five if you want to get any before Viper and the twins eat it all." I laugh. " I'll be there. Are you here to see Viper or just stop to bring me some treats?" he asks. " Can't it be both? But Viper is supposed to take me to lunch for more "MC training" and then he is going to show me around the auto shop." I say. " Sit tight. He is in his office. I'll let him know you're here. Have the prospect get you something to drink if you want." he says. “ Sure, thanks Tank,” I say.

Rowdy and I were walking out from the back offices when I saw Merigold sitting at the bar talking to the prospect when Lug Nut walked up to her. They talked for a minute then the fucker reached over and hugged her. I heard Rowdy growl next to me. That fucker has no business putting his hands on our girl. She doesn't know it yet but she is going to ours. And nobody better lay a hand on her.
" You won't even get close to her if you can't accept those boys. They are a package deal. And if you aren’t serious about her don’t waste her time. She isn’t a bunny you can play with. Viper won’t think twice about killing you if you treat as one." Tank says from behind us. " I don't have a problem with the twins. I know they are a package deal. And of course, I know she isn’t a bunny. Why would you say something like that." I say. " I've seen how you are looking at her. Just wanted to make sure," he says and walks to her. Can't say I blame the guy for saying it. It's our job to look after her even if she doesn't know it. I hear the Star Wars theme song start and I notice Merigold grab her phone out of her bag.
I hear her say she is pulling the caller on speaker and takes a piece of paper and pencil from the prospect behind the bar. She puts the phone on the bar and moves her hair to the side. When she does it exposes her bare shoulder and that's when I see a tattoo on her shoulder blade. I'm not paying attention to who she's talking to but she is leaning over the bar doing something that has the prospect and Tank’s attention. I want to get a closer look at the ink and see what has everyone's attention. I hear Tank " Princess. That is good." as I reach her back. I look over and see what they are looking at. It's a drawing of an eagle with its wings spread and something in its claws that I can't make out. He is right, it is really good.
She says " It's just a draft. But it gives me an idea of what the client wants." Man every time I hear that accent my dick gets hard. Hell just being near her it gets hard. I want to hear her scream my name when she is coming on my dick. Wait, the client? Rowdy says " That's some interesting ink you have got. I've never seen anything like it." There is a symbol in the middle of the set of wings with a halo on top with some writing that I didn't get a chance to read. She turns to us with the biggest smile I've seen on her so far. " That's because there are only six like this in the world." " And how do you know that?" I ask. She crosses her arms and smirks`` Because it's an original piece I designed myself and personally witness the other five get the tattoos done." She designed the tattoo? "It's incredible."
"What's incredible" Viper asks? I didn't think I said it out loud. Tank answers " Princess here has some pretty interesting ink." Viper looks at her " Do you, now?" She simply turns around and pulls her hair to the side for him to get a good look. I step forward to get a better look. The detail is amazing. I get a good look at the symbol and the words. It's the Army symbol, in the wings the names of Jace and Jax are there along with their birth and death dates along with their unit number. The tattoo is a memorial.
I look at Viper. I'm not sure if he is surprised that she has ink or if it is the tattoo itself. " Merigold that is impressive," he says. She says " Thank you " and puts her hair back in place. Hair that I want to wrap around my hands and pull as I fuck her from behind. Or run my fingers through while I kiss her. I'm pulled from my thoughts when Rowdy says " No, what's impressive is that she designed it."
That got Viper’s attention. " You designed that?" he asked. " Don't look so shocked, big brother. Yes, I designed it. What can I say? I'm very good with my hands. ” With that, I can only think how good her hands will feel wrapped around my dick. Can she even get her whole hand around me not to brag but I’m pretty thick. But I would love to see her try. “ Do you just design when you want or?” Viper asks“ No, it's what I do for a living. And I'll explain more over lunch."
" I'm sorry Merigold. Something came up and I'm not gonna be able to go to lunch. Or do you take lessons for the day?" He says. I saw her frown for about half a second before she covered it. " That's ok. I understand you are a busy man. You know if you just had a cheat sheet or a book like MC for dummies you wouldn't have to teach me." she says with a smirk. " Merigold, I'm sorry. I should have called." she raises her hand to stop him from talking. Something she is the only one who could get away with. " No worries." she picks up the paper she was drawing on " I have a new client to do some work for. I can get that started instead. We can have lunch another time. It’s not like I’m going anywhere for a while. And if you are ok with it I can go check out the auto shop on my own."
Rowdy speaks up " What if we take her to lunch. We can tell her about the MC just as much as you can. Same with the shop." I'm liking this idea. Getting Merigold to ourselves even for a little while. We can get to know her in private without the brothers eavesdropping or butting in. Get to know her on a more personal level than we can at the club.
