Page 10 of Love at First Flight
Raiden
He got the message from Steele to come to Gunner’s office and he had hurried to do what he was asked.
But when he walked in the door he was not expecting to see the most beautiful woman in the world standing there
Anger flashing in her green eyes and radiating from her entire body.
Her blonde hair was up in a large messy bun, with strands falling around her face and making him want to bury his face in that mass.
She went to leave and he blocked her, needing to keep her where he could see her.
She was tiny, only coming up to his pecs and he felt every single protective instinct in him rise, wanting, no,needingto keep her safe from every single thing that could cause her harm.
She sassed at him to get out of the way and yet, as she listened to Gunner and heard what he had to say, he could see her anger give way and fade.
He slowly moved toward her and when she told him about the shop and needing repairs he was ready to do anything and everything.
He grabbed her hand, unable to take not touching her a second longer and pulled her from the room.
She was spluttering, but running along behind him, and when they got to the elevator, she wrenched her hand from his, “Wait, wait. Just wait. What are we doing? I wasn’t done.”
He leaned down, pressing a kiss to her cheek, her eyes met his, “Yes you were Fairy. We have work to do. I want to see your shop and see what my crew and I can do.”
She huffed, and rolled her eyes, crossing her arms again. “Fine.”
He grinned, “That wasn’t so bad, was it?”
She walked into the elevator, refusing to look at him, but he crowded her into the corner, “So, Fairy, your name is Kadence? What is your last name?”
She sighed, “Kadence Reeves.”
He held out his hand, and she took it slowly. He raised it to his lips, “I’m Raiden Daniels. I like your name. Though Fairy fits you better.”
She bit her lip, and he wanted to bite it for her.
“You can’t look so delectable Fairy.”
She raised her eyebrows at him, “What does that mean? I’m only in jeans and a sweater.”
He gazed down at her, “All of that is true, and you are still the sexiest woman I have laid eyes on.”
She rolled hers, “Wow. What a line. Does that work on all the girls you date?”
She pulled her hand from his again and he wanted to laugh at the jealousy pouring from her.
She glared at him, and he said, “I wouldn’t know. I don’t date.”
She laughed, “Yeah right. Have you seen you? Seriously. What is in the water around here? Are all of you built like tanks? Good lord.”
He threw his head back and laughed, “Thank you Fairy. I have seen me, it’s nothing special. I am only looking at you. Come on, we need to swing by my office to get my supplies. Okay?”
She nodded and he pulled her hand to his kissing it, then linking their fingers together.
She tried to pull her hand free, but he shook his head, “Don’t try to get away Fairy. You are all mine.”
Her eyes widened, and he pulled her from the building and to his car, “Wait, I drove my car.”
He shook his head, “Then we will take yours.”
