Chapter 10

Aiden

Before my body and my brain can get back on the same page, Marlee wriggles out of my hold. Her eyes are wide and frantic, her breathing ragged, and her expression morphs from shock to fury. “Who the hell do you think you are? We’re not… we don’t… just no, Aiden. No.”

I jerk my thumb toward the door and arch my brow. “You were loud and about to give us up. I did what I had to do,” I shoot back.

“You didn’t have to do that.”

“You weren’t fighting it, Marls. That was fucking hot, fucking beautiful, and fucking overdue.”

“It wasn’t—” She stops herself from lying, not just to me but to herself. “Fuck. Just… fuck.”

My lips quirk up and I look her up and down, unable to help myself. "We did do that, yes."

If looks could kill, I'd be dropping dead right now, her gaze narrowed into fine slits. "Why. Are. You. Here?" she grinds out.

Because I’m an asshole, I can’t resist baiting her. “I work here.”

She rights her clothes and I wince at the state of her hair and makeup. Not because she doesn’t look as breathtakingly beautiful as she always is, but because it’s going to take a lot to fix and make herself look respectable for Decker again.

“I saw him kiss you,” I growl.

Her brows jump up. “Are you kidding me? So this," she waves her hand between us, "was all because you saw another man playing with your toy? Is that why you're down here throwing a tantrum?"

“If you call that a tantrum, then I'm obviously not doing it right. Maybe I need a redo."

Her glare darkens and before I realize it’s happening, she slaps me. “Don’t be crass. You’re many things, Aiden Lawrence, but disrespectful is not one of them. Not to me.”

I nod and rub my cheek, feeling adequately chastised as only Marlee has ever been able to do. “I saw a chance to talk to you and took it. I need to know what your play is here because you're back at the club and definitely not dressed for a business meeting, and you’re being a hell of a lot more friendly with Decker than the last time you were here. That tells me something has changed and you've got a new angle. Or maybe I don't have a damn clue what's going on.” I huff out a frustrated breath. “I can't cover you if I don't know what's going on, Marls.”

She scoffs, rolling her eyes and crossing her arms over her chest. “I'm working the case on Decker. Whatever I do, it’s to keep my cover. That's all you need to know.”

“Bullshit," I spit out, the sight of him kissing her burned in my brain.

Her body jolts as she slowly arches a brow. “Funny, since I'm the one working the case that you know nothing about.”

“I know it's not a PD case.” She blinks, her lips parting before she quickly schools her expression, I know what I saw though.

“Harry told you then,” she says, trying to recover.
