"That's not a problem, is it sweetheart?" Her father asked as he rubbed her shoulder. She could hear the unease in his voice, and tried her best to put his mind at ease. Tallis leaned into him, resting her head on his chest with her well-tattooed arms wrapped around his ever expanding waist. "I'm fine with whatever, Daddy. You don't have to worry about me." She looked up at him with innocent eyes, batting those gloriously long eyelashes; anything to make it seem like she was a little girl again. "But if Linda thinks she's going to keep this girl away from her Daddy, though, I'll smash out all the windows of that pretty little Lexus you bought her. Got it?" The innocence was fading away as anger began replacing it. Nothing annoyed Tallis as much as [i]Linda,[/i] Daddy's new old lady. A dumb bitch that wanted nothing more than to replace her mother. Jokes on Linda, though! Tallis hated her mother. Then again, she hated anyone that tried to get between her and her father. She had always been a daddy's girl.

Black shook his head, kissing the top of his daughter's. He had always loved her aggressive, fiery nature, even found it cute. "Remember what I said, Tillman." With that one last warning, Black headed back into the clubhouse to continue on with this morning's business. Now that Tallis was back, everything needed to return to normal. She was his one and only weakness since Taylor died, and their enemies knew it. 

Tallis watched her father intently, only moving once she was sure that her father could not see or hear her. "As much as I hate to admit it, I've missed you." She wrapped her arms around Jeremy as she spoke, pulling him close. His body felt [i]so[/i] good, almost better than she remembered. Her hands started to explore his well muscled back, working their way down until finding a new home on his ass. "Before we head back to your house tonight, I want to go see my brother." The lust and excitement could no longer be found despite the fact that she was still holding him close.

She had almost missed Jeremy as much as she missed Taylor.

Kaci rolled over, searching for the body that she knew wouldn't be there. Instead of finding Solo, she found her phone. No new messages. "I'm not really sure what I was going to expect." She rolled onto her back, throwing her arm over her face. The gang always came first. Always. It was the same way for Jeremy, but she was used to that.
