– Harley –
Let’s make a bet I turn to Jax with a smirk, he raises his eyebrow and the side of his mouth curves into a smile. “What kinda bet are we talking about here?” He replies I tap my finger on my chin and pretend to think about it, “Hmmmm, ohh! Whoever wins the most games has to give the other person whatever they want for 24 hours” I smile at him as innocently as I can, he chuckles deeply and looks into my eyes, “You’ve got yourself a deal kitten”.
“So what one first?” I ask as we start making our way through the maze of arcade games looking at each and every one of them, “What about this one?” I turn to look at jax and see hes standing by a basketball game, oh hell yeah he probably thinks he has a chance in this little does he know that when I was with the cartel we played basketball every day and I was the best if I must say so myself, I walk over to him and put some money in before pressing start.
I kept an eye on Jax’s score as well as my own it was a pretty close game but of course I won not by much but I still won, “Your turn to choose” he moves his hand to my lower back guiding me through the isles, I look around and start to run off, by the time Jax catches up with me I’m acting like a kid in a candy store, “You want to play Lazer Tag?” He asks me as he looks up to the big sign infront of us, I roll my eyes at him “Well duh, I’m not standing infront of it for nothing” he takes my hand in his and brings it to his lips planting a small kiss on it, I look to the ground and try to cover up my face, my cheeks almost on fire, I don’t blush but with him I do it at least once a day, what the hell are you doing to me Jax?
We walk into the small starting room and get suited up I look around and notice its only me and him in the room, he turns around a notices too before a big smile comes over his face, I know that damn smile hes thinking dirty thoughts, “Don’t even think about it ” I point my finger and poke his chest, “Think about what kitten? I’m just excited to play with you” my heartbeats like crazy and my eyes widen, “No, don’t you dare” I warn him trying to be as ‘scary’ as possible but hes a fucking biker for god’s sake like I’m going to scare him.
He raises his hands and walks backwards with a shit-eating grin on his face, the doors open and we make our way into the arena, I shoo him away and make my way to the opposite side of the room waiting for the game to start, I take a deep breath and shut off everything besides and focus on what i have been trained to do, time to kick ass.
I slow my breathing down and rely on my hearing more then my sight as the rooms dark with plenty of distractions, I run around quietly making sure not to give up my position, I turn a corner and see Jaxs back, I shot quickly and duck behind a different wall, he looks around confused while hes distracted I shoot him again before running past him, too easy.
Jax got a shot at me before and I haven’t seen him since, wherever he is he’s not making a damn sound, its making me a little nervous like hes planning something I’m just like a sitting duck in this situation. I’m glued to a wall trying to peek around corners to see if I can get any sight of him, while I’m distracted Jax comes up behind me and spins me around pinning my body to the wall with his, he puts his face down inches away from mine his hands on both sides of my head against the wall, his hot breath tickling my lips making me bite my lip hard trying to un distract myself but as soon as he pinned me it felt like my whole world stopped, I couldn’t move my feet were practically glued to the floor.
“You’re a hard one to catch off guard Darlin” I go to reply but he smashes his lips onto mine catching me completely off guard, I lose what little common sense I have left and throw my hands around his neck pulling him closer into me, I need him I crave him, he makes me dangerous hes my addiction and I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not. His hand slides down my lower back to my hip and finally lands on my ass, giving it a rough squeeze, I moan into his mouth and tangle my fingers in his air, he smirks against my lips and lifts my body up I instinctively wrap my legs around his waist, as he smashes us back against the wall.
One of his hands makes it way into my hair tugging on it to expose my neck I try to hold back the moan that crawled up my throat when he did it, slowly he leaves a trail of kisses along my jawline, then proceeds to move to my neck biting and sucking from the top to the base easily finding my weak spot, I moan loudly and grind my hips against his growing bulge attempting to realise some type of friction, he moves back to my lips licking them before he pulls away slightly I frown when he does it.
“You have no fucking idea how bad I want you” he mumbles in between kisses, “Trust me I do” I whisper into his mouth I’m in need of a damn hairdryer over here, he smirks “Not here kitten” he places me on the ground and I squeeze my legs together, I go to ask him a question when he shoots me, my jaw drops “You son of a bitch, you played me!” he runs off and I chase after him, tackling him to the floor and shooting him quickly, the buzzer sounds and the lights turn on, sitting on top Jax’s lap I start to dance, “I’m so winning this bet” I say as I shake my head and laugh, I jump off of him and dance around like an idiot once again, he laughs at me and gets up.
“Come on kitten I still have a chance to win this thing” I roll my eyes “Not a chance Handsome” i reply as we continue to play games, it’s been 3 hours and Jax has finally called defeat, “So you officially won by 3 games, now what’s the first thing you want?” He turns around to ask me “To eat I’m fucking starving” he starts to walk ahead of me and i decided now would be a good time to see how far I can push my luck within these 24 hours.
I jump on his back and he piggybacks me to a booth without a question, I feel a genuine smile on my lips, feeling like this and being this close to him makes everything dangerous, this could end up in flames and destroy what sanity i have left or be the best thing in my pathetic excuse of a life, I shake my head to clear my thoughts as I feel him stop walking I jump off of his back and sit down in the booth across from him.
We look over the menus in silence for a while before I speak “What are you thinking?” I look up at him watching him study the menu, “I’m thinking the burger with a chocolate milkshake” I nod my head, “I think the same” I put down my menu and rest my head on my hand, the grabs it and pulls it into his before rubbing his thumb against my scarred knuckles, “Tell me about the cartel” he catches me off guard and I try to pull my hand back so I can dig my nails into my palms like I usually do when I feel anxious.
He just holds it tighter still rubbing his thumb over my skin, “Harley I want to know everything about you, the good the bad the ugly. Nothing you say is going to make me change how I feel about you, I want everything out on the table if this is going to work, I will tell you anything you want but I only ask the same from you” I nod and take a deep breath, I look back up at him and noticed he’s still looking at me, I go to speak as the waitress walks over, I break our gaze and look up to her, I smile and she rolls her eyes before speaking, “What can I get you?” She says as she chews on her gum obnoxiously loud, i can’t fucking stand it when people chew loudly it aways makes me want to stab them.
I feel my body stiffening as my free hand makes it way to the fork that on the table before I touch it Jax moves it out of my way, I frown and scrunch my eyebrows together. I look at the waitress that’s now tapping her pen on her notepad, I look back to him, he’s still staring at me intensely, “2 burgers and 2 chocolate shake’s” he says blankly his eyes still holding mine, I hear the waitress mumble something before walking off.
“Whenever you’re ready kitten” I groan and then take a deep breath, “I met Ricci after I had left my asshole ex, I was walking along the streets one night trying to find my way back to Betty’s shop. I walked past an alleyway and heard a girls voice screaming, I ran over without hesitation and saw he was trying to rape her. I looked around for something to hurt him with and I saw an empty Vodka bottle so I bottle over the man’s head knocking him out instantly”.
“She thanked me and asked to drop me off at home, I didn’t trust her so I just shook my head and said that I wasn’t far away, she pleaded with me and I couldn’t take it anymore so I caved in and got in her car. Once we got in her car she proceeded to drive me in the complete opposite direction, I started to freak out and tried to crash the car so I had a chance to escape. She pulled over and explained to me that she needed to go to her house first to tell her dad what happened, I didn’t want to agree at first but she promised me she would drop me off once she had seen him so I gave in”.
“When we pulled up at the place it was huge I’d never seen anything like it, the amount of security and guards outside of this place made it look like a prison, I hated it the thought of being locked up unable to move without being seen, I’d rather be free. She dragged me inside and rushed me up stares to a big wooden door when she entered and I saw him I knew he was an extremely powerful man and that’s when it really hit me that I was probably never going to see the light of day anymore, the look on his face looked like he was going to jump over his desk and rip my heart out with his bare hands a stone-cold expression he’s someone extremely dangerous. But It didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out who he was, the house the cars, the security and big office, maids, workers shit like that”.
“She told him everything that happened turns out the dude was her ‘boyfriend’, Ricci ushered her out of the room leaving just me and him, he pointed to one of the chairs in his room so I took a seat, he made a phone call and spoke one word, no more then 30 seconds later 3 men came in and locked the door behind them. I was in that office for around 3 hours, in that time they did a full background check on me, a lie detector, asked all about my family and everything, my ex, my story basically. Once I had told them everything, from being abused to seeing my mum dead by the hands of the man that took almost everything from me”.
“After I was cleared by his men he asked me what I wanted in return for saving his daughter, a house, money, a car, ect. I told him I only wanted one thing, to be trained by them so I could kill every single last one of the people that associated with Brett, I knew he was into some shady shit but I had no idea what at the time, I needed to be prepared. I told him I’d still live at Betty’s shop but I wanted fighting lessons and to be trained in how to use knives and guns. He shook his head and spoke to one of his men in Spanish making them leave the room. He told me that he would train me but I was to have someone watch me and Betty at all times, in return, I help do some odd jobs here and there while I’m being trained. That’s when it all started I was taught to fight, my pain tolerance was increased, I learnt how families work, I learnt how to handle my weapons and how to always stay one foot ahead of the enemy at all times”.
“I was their favourite weapon of mass destruction, they knew one day I’d just leave I told them that I would once I was confident in myself to get the job done, and he never asked anything about it, only that I’d keep him updated about me so that he knew I was safe, guess I’ve been slacking in that” I laugh rubbing my arm nervously with my free hand, “You have got one of the most badass life stories I’ve ever heard” he chuckles as the waitress walks back over to us before shoving our food on the table, at this point I’ve had enough, I pick up the fork before Jax has a time to remove it from my grip again and stab it into the table pinning her apron to the table, she’s lucky I didn’t stab her fucking eye.
She looks down to me shocked and shrieks, “Get your fucking shit together and do your fucking job before I put the next one in your fucking eye” I pull the fork out of the table and throw it infront of me, she turns on her heel and scurries away, we sit in silence as Jax begins to eat his burger while I pick at mine, not so hungry anymore just pissed off he takes a sip from his milkshake and looks up to me, “You know it turns me on a lot when you threaten to fuck other people up” he licks his lips after speaking and I feel my underwear begin to soak once again.
Keep it together Harley. “Oh does it now? I would have never of thought” I tease and take a sip of my drink, “Mmmhmm” he mumbles as his fingertips graze my thigh slowly making their way upwards, I clear my throat “It’s your turn now” I sit up straight and look over at Jax who shoves a few chips in his mouth like nothings going on, “Ask away” he smirks at me and my stomach drops, I don’t think hes going to like what I want to ask.
“Why do you have demons like me? What happened?” I ask softly, he chokes on the food in his mouth before taking a mouthful of his drink to get it down, not the start I was hoping for at all oh god what if he flips out? He runs his hands through his hair nervously before looking up at me again, “The only person who knows is Gunner” he speaks in a whisper “If you don’t want to tell me it’s okay I understand” I get up and walk to his side sitting down beside him I interlace my hand with him and use my other one to play with his loose hair, “I have a bother..” he pauses for a second before shaking his head “I had a brother”.
