Misled

Marie POV

Feathery touches bring me to consciousness once again. The dreams that once held me tight flee quickly leaving a heavy fog in their wake. "Babe, come on wake up. Owen just texted. Somethings up."

Rolling away from him I attempt to tuck under the covers again. I don't want to get up. His arms wrap around me from behind as he nuzzles into my neck. "Wake up, Love, you can't hide forever; the sun is shining bright." I burrow deeper into his warmth. He beats my covers any day. "Marie. Axel called and they need us or I'd stay here with you forever." 

Rolling over I open my eyes to meet his gorgeous bright blues. "I love you. Aiden James. Forever."

AJ's eyes only get brighter. "It took a while but I wore you down didn't I?" His voice rumbles deeply as he kisses me softly on my lips. He deepens the kiss quickly his tongue repeatedly brushing against mine eliciting a moan from me as he pulls away.

"I think it was the other way around." I murmur against his lips as I look into his eyes mischievously. We both know that's a lie. I was a prickly bitch to him most days. Smirking he bites my lip scoldingly. Rolling my eyes I relent, "Ok, So Yea. You won me over. But I didn't believe for one moment I was good enough for you AJ." He goes to say something but I quickly place my fingers over his mouth. I need him to know how serious I am. "Sometimes, you still take my breath away. Even when I'm at my worst you never for one moment treat me with anything but kindness...respect. You always listen first even if I am being completely irrational. You are too good to be true and you chose me... I love you." He lightly brushes the start of a tear from my eye. However in the world was I able to find him?

He smiles down at me looking into my eyes before bending to mutter into my ear, "You give me entirely too much credit, Love. I often want to strangle you, Well most days." Our laughter floods the room. His voice deepens with no trace of the smile it held just seconds before. "Fate knew what to do when she paired us, Love. No worries. Just know that I'm in. With you. With the baby. I'm all in. I want everything no matter how hard or scary it gets.  I'm going to stay right beside you...Forever and a day. Now go get dressed before he sends Raven to get us."

With another quick peck to his lips, I jump out of the bed and rush into our bathroom. It doesn't take but 15 minutes to get ready. After squirting, well soaking, my hair with my water bottle I brush it out. Flinging my head I bend forward allowing my hair to fall around me almost touching the floor before applying mousse. The result is the ringlet curls that cascade down my back stopping just above my butt. I quickly throw on my baggy dark gray sweat capri pants and pair them with my favorite loose three quarter length sleeve red shirt. If I'm gonna spend all day in the car scoping out potential subjects then I want too be comfortable.

I throw another set in my bag that I call a purse; I picked out a shirt I know to be form fitting as well as provocative along with my leather jacket and dark wash skinny jeans, just for good measure I throw in my leather knee boots.

I know that AJ completely hates the outfit but it's the only outfit that can pull a story from those bikers tight lips. They take secrecy to an all new level. Last week when I was among them I found an interesting lead. I've gotten in with the younger brother of their leader. He really enjoys my methods and as soon as I give him with my full attention he sings like a canary.

Apparently they were currently working on making a deal with the PRTS. He said they had found a trump card. Something to use that the PRTS family couldn't refuse. They had found someone the PRTS family had been looking for but couldn't ever manage to find and pin down. This person was supposedly important to them but no one could figure out how or why they wanted her so badly, Why the PRTS spent years trying to track her down, and how she'd managed to hide from them. The bikers best guess was that she had information on the PRTS but instead of using her against them they were going to use her to expand their own territory.
