Snuffy stated, "I am tired of this shit with Skunk fucking up every party he's at, but we got rules V."

"Yeah we do and my brother will kill Skunk. Maybe I’ll just go inside and call Rabid. He's headed your way soon enough. You deal with Nailz. And you know how close he is with Rabid, too,
brother
," V threatened.

Snuffy saw the huge man coming toward him with Jersey. Both looked grim. Nailz spoke in a dead, calm voice, "Snuffy - I just talked to Rabid. He ain't happy with not being here, bro. Now me and Jersey here find out Jo was hassled by Skunk?"

Snuffy had heard that tone before and knew Nailz was ready to fight. Not to mention that damn Jersey was always happy fighting. They both would throw down anywhere, anyplace, anytime.

He shook his head. "It’s up to Skunk, I guess, if he wants the girl and a fight. You know he ain't as good a fighter as either of you two."

Jersey spoke up, "Snuff, bro, Skunk’s a problem. He scared our bitch - I'd kill him for that. So me and Nailz share Jo. That's our business. He fights us both. We clear on that? So go get Skunky."

V looked at the two men, "You two are going to publicly claim Jo as yours?"

"What the fuck else can we do? Either that or she goes with Skunk. And there's no way in hell that I'm gonna let that happen." Nailz stated.

Jersey looked worried, "Nailz, you gotta claim Jo as your old lady. Be honest; you have a thing for her. And she does for you. She'll be too embarrassed if we both claim her."

Nailz thought about Jo and how sweet she was. He realized Jersey was right. No one was going to claim Jo but him. Decision made, he declared, "Yeah, I'll claim Jo as my old lady. Jersey go get her and keep your hands off of her. Snuffy, get Skunk and tell him I’m gonna kick his ass all over the parking lot."

Jersey was trying to explain to Jo what she needed to do. The only problem was that she didn't get it.

Jo was sucking on a jug of Alabama Slammers, wondering how the hell she got into this mess? She should have known better to walk alone on the beach where there was bikers. How could she have been so stupid?

It was there that she ran into that disgusting, stinky biker who wanted to rape her. So in self defense she had bashed him in the head with a rock. Now everything was spinning out of control. The events were happening so fast that she had a hard time concentrating on what Jersey was saying.

"Jo... look. Nailz has claimed you as his old lady. They also think you’re shared by us. If you say no, we gotta hand your stupid ass over to Skunk. Do you get me?" Jersey was getting mad.

What kind of crazy rule was this? And now everyone thinks that Nailz and Jersey share her?

Jo looked to Kima, who had her hand over her eyes, shaking her head in disbelief.

"Jersey, I'm sorry I mentioned both of your names. I was trying to get that fat, smelly bastard to leave me alone. Now your telling me that I'm Nailz's old lady because of that?" Her eyes filled with tears. "I don't understand any of this."

Jersey muttered, "I gotta take a piss. Elena, talk some sense into Jo. Make her understand what’s going down - seems I can't."

Elena sat down next to Jo and took her hand.

"Honey, Nailz has never taken an old lady since he was married. He’s protecting you the only way he can. Now you go out there and act as happy and loving as you can to him. If you don't, then you'll be at Skunk's mercy. Or maybe we can get you out of here… but you’ll never be allowed around these parts or be Kima's best friend."

"Do you understand this, Kima?" Jo asked.

Kima looked at Jo with sorrow in her eyes and nodded her head. "Jo, Elena is telling you how it is. Why were you alone, anyway? You know better! At least Nailz is saving you. You need to do what Elena says."

Elena continued, "You will go out there and kiss Nailz like he means the world to you! You will smile when Nailz says you belong to him and you will act like a proud old lady when he wins this fight. Whatever happens with Nailz and you after today is your business, but I highly suggest you act the part of being Nailz loving old lady. You created this mess, now fix it!" Her voice was sharp and she was almost yelling.

Elena had never been angry with either girl before and Jo knew she had to fix things or give up her friends and life here. "I can do this! You two just watch - I'll rock Nailz’ world," she declared.

Elena and Kima looked at Jo hopefully. Jersey strolled out of the bathroom, ready to take Jo's arm.

"You better have washed your hands, Jersey!"

Jo turned back to Elena and Kima and assured them, "I’m more than ready for this. I’ll make all of you proud of me. Just you wait and see."

Needing it for courage, she grabbed the jug of Alabama Slammers and left with Jersey.

Kima and Elena followed slowly, both praying Jo would be able to pull this off.

Nailz was standing in the middle of the dirt parking lot facing Skunk.

He knew this would be a quick fight and intended to hurt Skunk badly. Rabid would expect him to.

"You stupid fucker!" Nailz spat out. "You come from Virginia and try to touch my old lady? Then you demand her? Skunk, I know you ain't the brightest bro here, but going against me? You're dead."

"I want to fight Jersey, not you Nailz. She said she belonged to both of you." Skunk was whining.

Jersey spoke up from the side. "She was always Nailz. We just play around. So you fight him. If you win, Skunky, I'll fight your ass. If there's anything left to fight."

Nailz didn't wait for Skunk to whine anymore. His fist plowed into Skunk's big gut. Skunk doubled over in pain as Nailz’ knee hit his chin.

"Nobody touches what’s mine! Now you want to call it, Skunk, or will somebody in your chapter step in for you?" Nailz roared.

He looked toward Skunk's chapter; none of his brothers stepped forward. Skunk stood up and swung at him, barely clipping his mouth but drawing a bit of blood.

That sneaky fucker
, Nailz thought. He pounded into Skunk. Once the man was groaning on the ground he gave him a few hard kicks with his steel toed boots. Skunk laid there in a heap moaning.

Nailz looked around for Jo and when he saw her, he yelled "Jo - get your ass over here, old lady."

Jo walked toward Nailz, her head held proudly, knowing everyone believed she was fucking two bikers. Dear Lord, how did she end up in this mess? She wouldn't let panic over take her. She looked at Nailz and kept walking paying no attention to the howls of laughter around her or the whispers.

She walked right into Nailz arms, whispering, "Thank you."

Her finger traced the blood off his lip and she sucked it into her mouth, before his lips touched her's. She opened her mouth and gave him a deep. hot kiss.

Nailz couldn't get over this Jo. Where the hell had she come from? He liked this Jo an awful lot.

Somebody from their chapter yelled to Jersey, "She's a blood thirsty wench, Jerz! Better Nailz got stuck with her!"

Nailz and Jo were still lost in their kiss.

It took awhile before Nailz broke away from Jo. He eyed the jug at her feet.

Nailz grinned at her. "Leave any for me, Brat?" Leaning down, he whispered in her ear, "I think maybe we need our own little party. Somewhere away from here."

She looked into his hooded gray eyes that were turning black with desire. This man had fought for her. He protected her from a fate she couldn't even imagine. This big, overbearing, badass biker that could be so intimidating and aggressive, yet so incredibly gentle with her. She realized right then and there that she was in love with Nailz.

Watching him fight had sent a delicious thrill coursing through her. As he moved it was like watching lightening flash through a storm. She was in awe. He was powerful, severe, and so incredibly sexy. It made her feel wanted and special because he was doing it for her.

Jo wanted nothing more at this moment than to go off with him and fuck his brains out.

Her life had changed this very night and there would be no turning back.

Decision made, she grabbed his hand and whispered, "Let's get out of here."

China was standing at the window. She understood that Nailz was fighting to keep Jo safe. That was an honorable thing to do in her eyes, romantic too.

She wondered would a man ever love her that much? Sometimes she got depressed thinking she was so out of place in this country. She was saving her money to go to France… or to travel and see beautiful places. Dancing was the only way she knew to make money.

She had a nice, small studio apartment in Ocean Cove. Men asked her for dates but only one man was on her mind. And that was, as Kima called him, 'The Mighty Thrash'.

She was watching the fight when the door opened and he walked in. He came up and stood behind her while she was looking out the window. She spoke softly, "Shouldn't you be with your brothers? You didn't need to check on me, Thrash."

"Yeah, I did, honey. I know how you feel about violence and I didn't want you running again. Who named you China?"

She sighed as Thrash's arms went around her waist. " I never knew my real father. My step father said I was like a little China doll when he met my mother."

Thrash's breath was near her ear and she was melting backward into his body. "Do you dance under that name?" He asked.

"No. I dance under XE. Almost like sexy, get it?"

She was turning to face Thrash while he held her. She stared into his eyes as he bent his head. Thrash's voice grew husky, "You mind if I kiss you?"

She smiled up at him and it lit up his whole world. She spoke softly, with reverence. "No. I've been dreaming of you for a long time, Thrash." She parted her perfect lips.

"I'm here now, China, and I’m never letting go of you." Thrash was watching her seriously.

She wrapped her arms around his neck as their lips met.

"Hey China... you wanna be my old lady? Maybe work at the tattoo parlor? I've got plenty of room for you to live over the shop. We can take things real slow but I'd feel better if you were
mine
. After today I don't trust some of these crazy fuckers in my club."

China looked into those blue eyes and the thought of going to France went right out of her head.

"You want me to help you make beautiful art?"

Thrash just nodded yes. They went back to kissing. The world could have crashed down around them and neither would have noticed.

V stood looking over the water. He was still thinking over the day's events. Skunk had successfully screwed up another party. And Nailz and his brother had old ladies, now. He was still trying to wrap his mind around that. He wondered what Rabid would have to say about everything when he called him tomorrow.

Hunter was down with Nailz reporting to Rabid about patching over. He said he'd even tell him he was considering it himself. Good. It would give Rabid something to think about.

He was a bit worried about Jersey's safety. Rabid would love to take him out. Somehow they'd have to watch out for him - he was a real brother, unlike those crazy fuckers like Skunk.

Now where the hell was his 'Trouble'? He needed to fuck her. There was nothing in this world sweeter than to end the day than by fucking Kima!

Nailz led Jo down to the dock, away from all the noise and that was somewhere private. It was now dark out and thousands of stars shone brightly in the night sky above them.

He had managed to grab a blanket and laid it down at the end of the dock. It was the same dock Nailz had dumped her into the water that day.

Nailz pulled Jo into his arms. She lay back, cradled against his chest. They were sitting there staring up at the stars, taking in the night sky. They were more magnified near the water and she felt that she could reach up and touch them.
