Chapter 15 – surprise visit from Aaron

Tristan Wilder

POV

I slowly open my eyes and I look at Aria she was smiling with herself. I slowly got up.

“What’s going on in that little head of yours?” I ask her

She does not answer me but walks over to me, my legs were still on the sofa, the next thing I know is she is sitting on my lap.

“I’m just thinking about the first time we had sex.” She says

I smile thinking back on that day too. God it was the best s*x I’ve ever had “Oh really?” I ask

She nods “You know how I failed to seduce you” she says

“You didn’t fail, it’s just that I thought it was some type of prank Ria I would be turned on just looking at you Ria” I explain to her

I looked at her and I did not like what I saw, she was going to mess with me. Her facial expression turned seductive and I got nervous.

“So what you’re saying is I can get naked and you’ll be turned on?” she asks

I couldn’t help myself I laughed at her the girl was hilarious.

I felt her punching my stomach honestly it just tickled so I laughed harder.

“I’m sorry Ria, I just. God what have I gotten myself into. Remember you need to stay out of trouble for me, can you do that for me please baby?” I ask

She shakes her head no “Where’s the fun in that, you won’t s***k me will you?” she asks me acting all cute

Honestly it was starting to piss me of. I knew what she was doing and I wasn’t ready for us to be anything until I knew Pennima was taken care of and she’s trying to fix us. She was turning me on and I honestly didn’t want to go to bed with blue balls every night.

“Aria baby you need to stop with s*x jokes really need to stop with that” I say seriously

“Tristan I can’t help it you were walking around naked in front of me earlier and I haven’t had s*x since Greece” She says

There she goes again taking me back to our night in Greece. I shake my head and say. “Aria look we have a lot to talk about and s*x isn’t going to solve any of our problems. So if you could just calm the hell down for me it would be amazing.”

“What do you want to talk about?” she asks

“What happened back in Greece?” I say

“Our argument?” she asks

I nod. We did need to talk we needed a lot of talking.

“What about it?” she asks turning her head to the side so she didn't look at me.

“Look that night I-I I got a call from the army recruitment offices my application to enlist was approved and I would start training the end of the summer since I wasn’t in the U.S that the moment. I was so happy but it all soon made my mood turn sour knowing I would have to tell you. I did not know how to tell you that is why I went to the bar. I needed liquid courage to tell you that I would be joining the army and we would have to be apart for a little while. I was so drunk out of my mind the woman came up to me to drink with me and we drank together the next thing I know is her lips are on mine and I pushed her off of me I promise I didn’t kiss her back. When I got back to LA I tried contacting you for at least two weeks and when that didn’t work I called the recruitment office and asked if I could join right away and they allowed me to so I packed a bag and went to DC and I enlisted.” I explained to her wait happened in Greece and what followed after that.

She stayed silent for a very long time. It was so quiet you could hear a pen drop from miles away.

“Why didn’t you tell me you enlisted?” she asks softly. I could barely hear her voice

“I was scared you would tell me no or break up with mw, that’s why when Aaron and I applied I asked him to keep it a secret” I say honestly.

“My brother knew?” she asks again

I nod, there was no point in hiding this from her “Yes he helped me apply and the fact that you kept my grades up helped” I say

“Did you get shot a lot?” she asks all of a sudden as she takes my left hand and holds it in hers, she plays with my ring finger. If things worked out she would have been playing with my ring and not a bare finger.

“You don’t have to worry about this Aria.” I say there's no way I was going to tell her how many times I've been shot.

I thanked my lucky stars when Mary walked in. She used to work at the Jacobs family house, she's an middle aged woman she raised Aria and Aaron. They always respected her and treated her like family. They would even let her eat at the table with them and that wasn't allowed in this family.

“Mary?” Aria asks looking at Mary

“Young Miss there’s a guest asking for Mr Wilder” Mary says

“Send them in Mary.” Aria says knowing full well who it was.

She nods and bows walking out of the room.

I tried breaking Aria's grip on my hand but she just held my hand tighter and with both of her hands. She looked me in the eye. She had that determined look in her eye. I rolled my eyes and gave up. I knew I wasn't going to win and one of us was going to get hurt which was why no matter what I would never use my full strength when I was with Aria I was always scared of hurting her. The next thing I know is she kissed me on my cheek while I was distracted.

And of course Reyes walked in as Aria kissed my cheek. I smelt trouble Aria was going make me have either a heart attack or a stroke by the end of this month.

“Agent Wilder, Maria” Reyes greets

Honestly I forgot her name again. And that's when I realized what she called Aria. And I waited for Aria to explode she always had a thing about her name she hated people giving her nick names and people mispronouncing her name.

And then nothing came Aria was completely calm taking me by surprise.

“Agent Reyes” I say nodding.

I lift Aria up and move my legs so they off of the sofa and put her back down.

"You can have a seat Reyes" I say pointing at the seat across from us. Aria had a white lounge set. We were sitting on the three seater, the two seater was next to the three seat and the one seater was across from the three seater.

Aria grabbed my leg and put my injuried ankle on her lap. I looked at her but she kept her eyes straight ahead looking past Reyes.

“Why did you call me here?” Reyes asks

I look at Reyes then at Aria who was rolling her eyes and she scoffed, God my baby really didn't like Reyes. Why the hell did Aria feel threatened by Reyes she had nothing on Aria or I was blinded by love because no woman would ever compare to Aria.

I cleared my throat and said “So I got a threat from Pennima and he threatened to go after Aria and I want you to guard her with your life.”

I noticed the tension in the room. f*****g hell the love of my damn life has lost her damn mind. But then again when has Aria ever done anything half ass. I knew this two weeks were going to be torture and she was going to tease the hell out of me and make Reyes jealous at the same time, I was asking for trouble.

“Oh hell no!!” Aria exclaims jumping out of her seat

“What?!” Reyes exclaims

I roll my eyes. God woman were so God damn dramatic. I stand up and stand directly in front of Aria.

“I don’t need a woman barely out of the Quantico protecting me. I can take care of myself and by the way our son has more experience protecting me and himself than this woman ever will. So I suggest she leave our house” Aria says sassily

I turn to stare at her amused and somewhat surprised. She has never been this vocal before. Wait did she just say our house? God Reyes has not even been here for five minutes yet and she is already stirring the pot. (It’s a South African expression it means she’s making things worse)

“Oh is a threat?” Reyes asks

“Do you feel threatened?” Aria asks

Before this escalates, I intervened. I pulled Aria into my arms to distract her. It always worked when we were dating.

“Look it’s the job you were ordered to do.” I tell Reyes in a stern and commanding tone. Then I turn to miss sassy in my arms “You also need to stop with your games before you get hurt and I can’t protect you” I tell her

“So you saying you’re not strong enough to protect me from a fresh out of the academy recruit? Should I get me a stronger man?” Aria asks

I knew she was pushing my buttons but it bloody worked. “Aria!!” I shouted

She flinched and cowered in my arms and I instantly felt bad. I knew she was faking it but I still felt back. I closed my eyes taking a deep breath Aria knew me better than I knew myself. But she forgot I knew her inside out. I knew when she was faking it and when it was real.

“Reyes you can go upstairs to freshen up, Mary will show you to your room and she’ll call you down for supper.” I say

She takes a deep breath and nods; Mary comes back into the room to lead her out and to her room.

“She’s gone you can drop the act now” I say looking down at the woman in my arms who was smelling my chest.

She moved a little and looked up at me and gave me a shy smile and she was blushing.

I smile and shake my head. “Aria that is not going to work on me” I say

She did not need to know it worked on me. I was not going to give in. she endangered not only her life but also our son’s. I was not sure if Reyes was the mole and if she was, could give Aria’s location to the enemy and I would receive her head in a box.

“I’m sorry I just really hate that woman.” She says

“Babe I need you to calm down” I said

She nods and all of a sudden, she smiles wildly.

I look at her strangely… “What?” I ask

“You called me baby” she says

I didn’t say anything but I let go of her and sat down on the sofa, my ankle was acting up again. I tried my best to ignore the emptiness I felt when she was not in my arms.

She came to sit next to me and looked at me. “Tristan” she calls out to me to get my attention. I looked over at her and she looked serious so I knew she wouldn’t be teasing me.

“Yeah?” I ask softly

“Can I ask you something?” she asks

I nod.

“Two weeks ago when you looked me in the eye and told me you didn’t love me anymore was in because of this guy called Pennima?” She asks

I looked away from her. Of course, Aria would catch on what was happening. I was honestly scared. I didn’t want to answer her so I changed the subject.

“Aria could you do me a favour please?” I ask I wanted to ask her to clone Reyes’s phone so I could see what she was up to. Because the more I thought about it the more it made sense that, she was the mole. No one else knew about Aria and I. and the people who knew us didn’t know we met that day and Penn knew about my son. I didn’t even know I had a son and he knew the exact same time I did.

“Mr Wilder Young Miss dinner is ready” Mary said

I nod

“Thank you Mary let our guest know that she can come down for Dinner as well” Aria says

Mary nods and leave the living room

I stand up.

“Can you get to the dining room okay? Or should I have them bring your food to the living room?” Aria asks

I shake my head and start walking or rather limping to the dining room, there’s no way I’m leaving those two alone.

“Yeah right and leave you and Reyes alone no way in hell, I don’t want you getting hurt Aria” I say

We got to the dining room together. One of the servants pulled out my chair and helped me sit in the chair. They did the same for Reyes and Aria. I forgot what it was like in the Jacobs home. I remember one time Aaron and I got pretty drunk and one of the maids had to give him a bath let’s just say she blushed the entire time.

“Little sister” I heard Aaron’s voice I turned to see Aaron walk into the dining room. He stopped when he saw there was more than just Aria in the room.

He walked up to me and I got up he pulled me in for a hug.

“Good to see you bro, up for COD after dinner?” he asks

I pull away and look at Aria she was glaring at us. Aaron sat down next to me on my left and Aria sat on my right. Reyes sat across from us.

“You will not be playing anything! Aaron why are you here anyway?” Aria asks.

Aaron ignored his sister and started filling his plate with food. I held in my laugh.

“So why is Tristan here little sister?” Aaron asks

“Aaron Jacobs you better shut your mouth” Aria shouts

Aaron shut his mouth and we ate in silence. Not once did Aaron acknowledge Reyes’s presence and I knew neither would Aria unless my sassy queen decided she wanted to cause trouble.

“Dude did you come back to warm my sisters bed?” Aaron asks

Chocked on my food. Bloody hell I forgot how annoying Aaron could be.

Aria glared at her brother and I shut my trap. I did not mind what he said however I am sure most of the staff that worked her.

I looked over at Reyes and she was glaring at Aria. She looked look at her all she liked, but once she tries to lay a hand on Aria I will put a bullet between her eyes. Oh, hell if she is the mole and told Pennima about Aria and Austin I will make her life a living hell, she would wish I had killed her instead. I narrowed my eyes at her. She must have felt my stare because she looked right into my eyes. Honestly speaking, like all the other girls I felt absolutely nothing looking at her or into her eyes. However, when I look into the blued eyed vixens next to me eyes I would be entranced, enchanted and most importantly I would feel loved. I looked to my right and just looked at the woman looking me towards her brother who was saying something.

I watching Reyes to make sure she didn’t do anything stupid.

After dinner Aaron retired to one of the rooms upstairs apparently he’ll be staying here for a couple of days his hiding from his aunt Lexi, she’s been on his case about marriage recently and he did not want anything to do with that.

Amanda Reyes

POV

I finally get to the room arranged for my and I call Amber.

"Hello?" she answers.

"Amber it's me" I say

"Amanda what's going on where are you?" she asks

"Look here a change of plans we won't be able to meet anymore because Agent Wilder has me babysitting his lost puppy." I say as I grit my teeth.

I hated Aria I know her type daddy buys everything and Tristan is just blinded by her, she is just using him. Her son is probably not even his but it doesn't matter I'll take care of the both of them.

"This is better now we'll have her schedule. Send me her schedule as soon as you have it and we'll figure something out. Don't worry we'll kill both her and her son" Amber says

"Aaron was here tonight" I said

"He lives with her? What did he wear? What did he smell like? Does he still brush his hair to the left?" she fires questions at me.

Aaron and Amber met when she visited her brother at college, she lied and told him she's a college student they dated for a bit but he broke up with her suddenly without reason.

"I didn't speak to him or get close to him. He didn't even look my way yet alone speak to me" I say honestly.

"Can you take a picture of him for me please. I miss him so much." Amber asks

"I'll try. But I can't make any promises." I say

"Thank you, Thank you so much." she says
