Meredith screamed along with the other women who surrounded her. She wasn't exactly sure what it was about a man playing guitar that women loved, but it was downright sexy. Never had Jagger looked more at home than he did up on stage. She really couldn't believe this was the same man who was scared to death of the curse of the skull cup. She'd heard him humming and singing to himself a few times, but she'd never known his voice was so rich. As the crowd began to surge closer towards the stage, Tyler wrapped his arms tighter around her body. No one was getting in between the two of them, no one would separate them. She put her hands over his and squeezed, showing her appreciation of the fact that he wouldn't let anyone encroach on their space.The fact that she was even in this crowd, not freaking out, was amazing. After Jagger's set, she turned around and motioned for him to bend down so that she could talk into his ear."I'm thirsty," she shouted.Her voice was hoarse, and he ha
The entire club had gathered at a warehouse that they owned next to the Barren River. The man that Tyler had beaten sat in a chair, arms tied behind his back, feet tied to the legs."What did you call everyone here for?" William asked, as they all assembled.Liam walked towards the group milling around the doorway. "Please, allow me to explain. This man is the man that raped Meredith. It was a horrible crime, one that affected everyone in the club and our significant others. We've all talked over the past few months of what we would do when we found that man.""Yeah, we'd kill him," Steele agreed.Jagger stood on the same side as Liam and Tyler, flanking the man in the chair."Well, we found him," Tyler pointed at the man sitting in the chair. "The bitch of it is that one man in this room paid this piece of shit to rape the woman that I love. He set up the whole thing."Shouts erupted as each of them began pointing fingers at the other.Tyler whistled loudly, getting ever
The next morning, a soft knock sounded on the door of the dorm room. Meredith hadn't slept well the night before as she watched over Tyler. She knew that he had been very conflicted last night and she hated that. Getting up quickly, she padded over to the door and opened it softly."Hey," she greeted Liam. "He's still asleep.""Just have him come up to the house whenever he gets up. Some major shit went down last night after he left."She took a good look at the man standing in front of her. Her keen eyes noticed that he now wore the president patch. "Congrats Pres," she grinned at him."Thanks. I'm sorry about what William did to you, and I'm glad that we got it taken care of.""I don't hold it against you at all. I'll let him know when he wakes up that you wanna talk to him."She closed the door and quickly went back over to the bed, crawling in beside him and cozying up to the warmth of his body. He slept deeply, much deeper than she had ever seen him sleep before. It wa
The events of the last few days had been hard on everyone. Liam and Roni had gone to speak with their mother, explaining what had gone on with William. They had come back both red-faced and subdued. A few of the older members had decided to leave the club. What remained was a young group of men who were ready to take on a new world. Ready to make a new destiny for themselves.Tyler sat on the couch of Meredith's counselor's office, his hands between his knees. "What do you want me to say?""What do you want to say?" Dr. Jones asked.He turned his head to face Meredith. "I'm not sure that I like when she answers a question with a question."She grinned. "Sucks when someone does that to ya, huh? Remember that for when we have our own conversations."Slinging his arm over the back of the couch, he playfully pinched her shoulder."Seriously, Tyler. How do you feel?"He opened his mouth a few times to speak, but found there were no words. "I don't know. I've done many things i
Five hours later, they entered the city of Gatlinburg. It was bordering on late night, but he knew exactly where they were going. He had called a friend a few hours before to make sure that the cabin he wanted was available. Snow had started falling the closer he got to the cabin, but that was why he had made sure the truck was properly maintained. A few miles ago, he'd stopped and put the snow chains on his tires. Meredith had yet to wake up. He reasoned that she probably needed this getaway even more than he did.He parked at the cabin and was glad to see the stream of smoke coming out. His friend had obviously made sure there was heat, and hopefully there would be food because after driving all the way through, he was starving. Grabbing their bags, he took them inside before going back out to get her."Hey," he nudged her awake carefully.She snuggled deeply in his arms as he unbuckled her and carried her out of the truck. "Where are we?""Gatlinburg."She came awake quick
He was having the absolute best dream ever. His hands were tangled in Meredith's hair as she kneeled between his thighs, her lips wrapped around the erection that stood up from his body. He was directing her with gentle pressure from his hands as he slowly thrust his hips towards the warmth of her mouth.Her nails scored his thighs and the slight pinch of pain brought him to reality. Quickly, he realized this wasn't a dream. This was real life. The morning sunshine streamed through the curtains, bathing her in sunlight. It looked as if she had a halo surrounding her, giving her an ethereal look."Damn, baby," he groaned, leaning his head back against the pillows. "Can you take it deeper?"She opened her mouth wider, relaxing the muscles of her throat, allowing him to slip further in. Pulling him back out, she swirled her tongue around the head and couldn't help but grin as the breath hissed from between his clenched teeth.Tyler tried to figure out how long she had been doing t
Meredith walked into the chapel, Tyler not too far behind. The overhead bell rang and the clerk came out, a smile on his face."Somethin' I could help you two with?"Tyler reached out for her hand and squeezed it. "We were wondering what we would need to do in order to get married today."The clerk explained the process, that they would need the names of their parents, their driver's license, and their social security cards."What if I was a ward of the state, and I don't know who my biological parents are?" Tyler asked softly."That's fine. If you don't know, you don't know. Just fill out what you can."They filled out the information and forked over the cash that was needed."Do you have rings?" he asked.They looked at one another. This was something they had forgotten."We don't, but we have something that's a little more us," Meredith smiled.Tyler looked at her, the question written on his face. "Our necklaces," she explained. "And you know we could totally pl
An unusual white Christmas had descended on Bowling Green. It was a rare occurrence and even more rare that it was also freezing cold, the highs only into the teens. Inside the clubhouse, everyone was cozy and warm."Tyler, you have got to stop following me around with the mistletoe. I have stuff to do," Meredith joked good-naturedly.Jagger called from across the room. "It's only natural, I mean you are newlyweds, right?"Tyler and Meredith looked at one another, a smile they had shared numerous times since coming back from Gatlinburg. She winked at him and turned to face Jagger. "I don't know? Are we?""Damn it. The two of you are driving me up a wall. You're never going to answer that question are you?"This time Tyler grinned at Jagger. "I don't know? Will we?"Jagger groaned. "Bah humbug to you both."Denise came out of the kitchen, fanning her face with a dishtowel. "Somebody else is gonna have to go in there a while. Otherwise, I'm gonna be sick on the Christmas Tu
