CAPTURED HEART....Chapter Two

Jade smiled at the hostess as he said, “That’s my party over there.”
“Yes of course, sir.” She said as she smiled her sweetest smile. She watched as he walked past and towards the room. Lexi following close behind.
“I didn’t know you were going to be meeting friends? I could get a different table for myself.”
“Nonsense, it’s just a gathering of friends for dinner before the service.” He told her.
“Service?” she asked him as he stopped to hug a friend.
“Alexis this is Bikers for Jesus. Once a month we decide on a place to meet for a dinner gathering and a service at one of the local churches.” He said as he indicated an empty chair for her to sit.
“Everyone this is Alexis Wyatt. I invited her to our dinner and hopefully she would like to stay for one of our services.”
With everyone looking at her she smiled as warmly as she could and said,
“Of course I would love to stay.” Now why did she say that, when she wanted more than anything to just eat and be on her way. Yet looking into the kind faces of everyone around the tables, and the warm greetings, she felt quite relaxed.
Jayden sat at the only other available seat which so happened to be the one across from her. She removed her black riding gloves and slid them into the pocket of her jeans, as a waitress came and handed her and Jade a menu.
“We’ve already ordered. Hi I’m Gil.” Said a man next to her. Lexi watched as he extended his hand and she shook it,
“I’m Alexis, Lexi for short.” She with drew her hand to study the menu. Gil wasn’t a bad looking man with medium blond hair and hazel eyes. In fact he was intriguing in a friendly sort of way. As she ordered her dinner she looked up and caught Jade eyeing her.
“Tell me what Bikers for Jesus are?” she turned to ask Gil. With her prettiest smile.
“Well it’s a Biker club that does ministry work.” He answered obviously interested in Lexi.
“Ministry work?”
“Yes like going around and doing Gods work. Being His hands and feet.” Jade intercepted before Gil could finish.
“Oh I see. I didn’t think there was anything like that around.” She turned to Gil.
“There’s more Christian bikers out there doing the work for God then anyone’s aware of.” Gil said with obvious pride in doing what he feels is his calling of the Lord.
“Yeah all being much as dedicated in doing Gods will as we are.” Jade put in.
“Really, this is very fascinating.” She said really interested.
As their dinners had arrived, everyone around the tables bowed their heads Lexi included. When she head a familiar voice say the grace. She looked up as Jade had stood saying Grace for the food.
“Father again we humbly come before you and ask for Your blessings and Grace, as we partake in another service for our group. We ask that you bless all our new comers and visitor. We thank you for this food we are to partake and bless our meeting as we come to You to do Your will. In Jesus’ name amen.”
Everyone around the tables repeated, “Amen.”
“Hey Preach, Hope you’ll have a good one for us tonight.” A red head woman nicknamed Rusty said.
“You bet I do.” Replied Jayden as Lexi began to choke on a bite of pork chop.
“You’re the Preacher?” she asked huskily while lifting her water glass to her lips.
“Yup, he sure is and a darned good one at that.” Replied Gil. Patting Lexi lightly on the back until her coughing fit subsided. “You two came in together; you mean he hadn’t told you?”
“No, he didn’t.” she said and looked at Jade while he took a bite of his steak. For some reason he just don’t seem like a minister type. In fact he looked more like a James Dean biker type to her.

With dinner now through and they were all walking out to their motorcycles, Jade walked her to her bike and said, “You could follow me if you like?”
“Yeah, I think I will.” Was that another smile she saw before he turned to walk to his bike? For some reason unknown to her, she too was smiling as she put on her helmet.

It didn’t take them long to get to the small church up on a hill. They all parked their bikes and gathered at the door as Jayden opened it to allow everyone through. Everyone mingled for a short minute before finding seats. Lexi sat down next to Rusty, when Gil came over and sat on the other side of Lexi. She smiled sweetly at him and turned her attention to the Minister Jayden. A brunette walked over to the piano and began to play. As everyone sang it gave Lexi time to really study Jade. He was tall and very handsome with dark brown long hair touching his collar with layers. It was a neat long style not to unruly, but it was those soft brown eyes that held her attention. They were quite incredible. Every time he looked at her she felt as though she would melt. No man had ever had that effect on her before.
After the singing Jade asked if anyone had any testimonies to share. Rusty was the first to stand.
“Yeah I have one. Ever since the last meeting, I witnessed and lead twelve bikers to the Lord. I also told them of the many bikers for Jesus organizations. They seemed pretty interested in it. I feel they will be checking it out.” As Rusty sat down Lexi could hear many “Alright’s.” and “Amen’s.”
“Alright, anymore want to give a testimony?”
Many stood up and offered testimonies and after about a half hour, Jade began his message.
Lexi was really getting caught up in the service and found it easy to forget Jade is a biker and is a true man of Faith. For reasons she can’t explain, it warmed her in knowing that.

CAPTURED HEART....Chapter One

Chapter One




On her metallic blue Honda Spirit motorcycle feeling carefree with no obligations in life, Alexis Wyatt was her own person. Going town to town and working when her finances run short, she lived a little on the wild side. Her long golden Blond hair and turquoise eyes and her average hour glass frame made any man stop and stare. Seeing a service station up ahead she stops in to fuel. She stood and took off her helmet and set it on the seat of the bike. Walking into the convenience store she noticed two men one behind the counter and the second in front leaning on the counter talking with the attendant. Lexi walked over and paid fifteen for fuel. After giving the man a twenty she turned her head to the other man and caught him looking at her. He was tall in black jeans and a t-shirt a leather jacket in his hand. She looked up and noticed soft brown eyes set in a handsome face with a classical shaped nose and stubble for a beard giving him a rugged look.
He smiled at her as he asked, “You traveling far?”
She took the five from the cashier as she answered. “As far as I want to go.”
“You have a nice bike there.” He inclined his head towards the bike out by the pumps.
She smiled, “Thanks it gets me where I want to go.”
He crossed his arms over his chest as he studied her.
“So where is it you’re heading?”
“Here and there, just around.” She said with a shrug.
“A pretty thing like you?” The cashier added.
“And what is that supposed to mean?” she asked with a glare towards the cashier.
“Don’t mind my friend here.” The handsome man said, “Tom you really need to have better manners. I’m Jayden Montgomery. And this here’s my friend Tom.” He extended his hand out towards her, but she declined
“Jayden, I’m going to go now and Fuel up. If you’ll excuse me.” As she turned to leave she heard the cashier comment.
“Now who’s being rude Jade?”
Lexi stopped and turned walking back towards Jayden she extended her hand out.
“Alexis Wyatt.” Retrieving her hand back from Jade she turned look at Tom crinkled her nose at him and walked out.
As the door was closing she could hear Jades laughter in her ears.
After Fueling she was getting ready to put on her helmet, when she saw Jayden walk out and over to the side of the building. After fastening her helmet secure she could hear the sound of a motor start up and saw a FXDI35 35th Anniversary Super Glide Harley Davidson pulling out.
“Ooh Sweet.” Lexi spoke to herself.
The Harley pulled up beside her and from beneath the helmet she could see that handsome smile.
“Mind if I ride with you for a bit?” He asked in his dreamy tenor voice.
She smiled at him and answered. “It’s a free country.”
His smile deepened as he said, “I was hoping you would say that.”
As she climbed aboard her bike she added, “By the way, Nice Bike.”
She started the motor to her bike and took off ahead of him before she could hear his response. He watched a few seconds her backside and long golden blond braid trailing down her back. With a grin he headed off after her taking him no time at all to catch up.
She couldn’t believe the nerve of this guy. Who does he think he is? Couldn’t he see that she wanted to be alone? No obviously not. She glanced over at him about the same time he looked at her. ‘Ooh that smile of his.’ She thought to herself. Just as she was about to look ahead he shot past her in front. His bike really was something. That’s when she noticed the gold cross with a dove emblem on the fender of his bike.
“He’s a believer,” she spoke to herself in surprised awe. She stayed not too distant from him, or was it that he is keeping a pace where it was easy for her to keep up. She knows the capability of his bike; a Harley was the best make around. They are built for speed, if she could have used her parent’s inheritance for a Harley she would have, but that was way out of her league. She was glad for the Honda she was able to afford and money left over to begin this adventure of hers, to see the States. So with a couple of med sized luggage bungeed to the back of her bike, and the house she grew up in now hers locked up tight in Pleasant Lake Montana. She’s now free to fulfill her dream and see all she can with no worries.
Jayden slowed his bike to match hers and pointed to a sign indicating a town up ahead. She nodded an acknowledgment and he again went ahead of her for her to follow him. As they approached the town it was fast becoming evening, he rode through the center of town towards a restaurant where she noticed a few more bikes parked in the lot. He pulled in and she followed not really knowing why she did. He parked and got off and she did the same. Removing her helmet she looked towards him as he approached her.
“I hope your not minding stopping here for a bite to eat?” he said with that knee weakening smile of his.
“Actually I’m quite hungry. I forgot to stop for lunch today.”
He turned and walked towards the restaurant as she sat her helmet on her seat and ran to catch up with him. He stopped at the door and held it for her, as she past him she caught the scent of a woodsy musk cologne. She stopped in front of the hostess stand as Jayden walked beside her.
“Hey Jade, over here.” A voice called out from a room off the main dinning area.
