She wanted to leave, it wasn't so much that she wanted to abandon the surprise party but she had most definitely had enough of just thinking about that key that was kept snug in her cleavage. She closed her eyes and thought about what she was about to do, okay, there wasn't much thinking involved, the pros outweighed the cons in her mind, by tonnes. She looked up and smiled deviously, she had heard him say something but it hadn't registered in her mind.

"Come on..."

She smiled, her eyes glittered and her sultry voice purred from her lips. She had enough of waiting, she'd absolutely had enough of contemplating the goods and the bad, she loved him, there was no doubting that, even if at times she wished she didn't. She felt only a little bit bad about leaving behind her party guests as she pulled him off of the dance floor and through the doors, she didn't look back to see his face or to see if anyone was noticing their leaving, she didn't care. Maria knew the girls would take her presents back and she was pretty sure they would get Spirit into a stable in Cheyenne for her.

With the Goose 'n' Gander in her sights she looked at Aiden and slowed her pace so that she was walking alongside him. She looked up at him since she was about a head smaller than him, Maria smiled and bit her lip before she spoke. She wasn't having second thoughts about it but she wondered about him.

"Are you sure about this?"

She continued to bite her lip as her blue eyes stared up at his amazing green ones. The whole TCB and Black Riders thing didn't matter between them right now, it was just them. She loved him and there was a very large amount of lusting involved in that. It wasn't like she hadn't been around, she had been a favorite in the business when she was younger, and not that much younger either, but this was different, much different, she had never loved a man before.

Maria smiled, she was glad he wasn't having any second thoughts because, although she was much more experience that him when it actually came down to it, but she had never loved anyone that she had sex with before, it was just a way of making money when she had none. She had no experience with actually the loving the man. She nodded a sweet but seductive smile dancing across her face.

"I've never been more sure of anything."

It felt like there were a hundred butterflies doing laps around her stomach. Her fingers entwined with his and she walked alongside him, she didn't want it to be like it always had been, She wanted it to be special, to be romantic and memorable. She wanted to wake up and find him next to her, not to feel unfulfilled and unappreciated. She looked up at him and smiled, a couple of months ago she would have gagged at the thought of spending the night with any of Turner's men, never mind his best friend but Aiden was different, he didn't treat her like the others did, like a woman on her high horse wanting some sort of retribution for a life of misery. It wasn't about that, all she wanted was a safe place for women like her, and if breaking the law came with it, then so be it. She enjoyed it.
