Page 14 of Love at First Flight
Kadence
When they got to the shop, she heard the noise coming from the office and she tried her best to ignore it.
Raiden was already doing funny things to her body and the sounds she heard didn’t help at all.
She wanted to be doing that. But was so confused. Love at first sight wasn’t real.
This was all just a fairy tale and she wasn’t sure if it was fake.
She was so torn and wanted so badly to believe that she had truly found what she always wanted to find, but didn’t know.
When her best friend came out, Gunner hadn’t fully buttoned his shirt up and his sculpted chest was a sight to see.
Raiden covered her eyes, “Fairy, if you want to look at half naked men, I gladly volunteer, but you don’t need to look at him. Only me.”
She sassed back, “But, he has so much skin on display. You can’t not look.”
Raiden growled, and spun her to face him. “That mouth of yours fairy. It’s gonna get you in trouble.”
And then he kissed her. Really kissed her. Not just a soft kiss on her lips.
She gasped and threw her arms around his neck, wanting more.
He licked the seam of her lips and she opened for him, their tongues tangling and tasting each other.
It was everything she had always wanted in a kiss and she forgot where she was.
Raiden finally let her go with one final sweet kiss to her lips and she knew she was dazed.
She hurried to get away from his potent self and behind Arielle when something caught her eye.
“Is that an engagement ring?”
Arielle nodded, “I said yes.”
She shook her head, shock coursing through her. That man ripped her friend's heart out and now they were engaged? They just met.
“What about everything? I know he wants to help us, but what about it all? You just met the other day and he broke your heart. It can’t be love. Not really.”
Arielle turned to look at her man and when he gave her a crooked grin, she turned back to look at her.
“When you know, you know. Love at first sight is real. I have seen it happen before. Not to me, but to others. My parents are real, they met and married within a few days of knowing each other, as did my grandparents. I knew he was meant to be mine from the start. Even if it seems crazy. I love him.”
Gunner explained what he already had and she felt herself wavering. Torn between anger and hope.
She felt herself deflating from her anger and looked over at Raiden.
He had his arms crossed, “See Fairy? It isn’t just me.”
She knew he was right and that she didn’t know why she was fighting it so hard.
This man wanted to give her everything and would with no hesitation.
She laughed and ran to him, where he scooped her in his arms and kissed her again.
It was right. Perfect and exactly what she was looking for. Her man.
Kissing him back and pouring all of her heart into it, she let up and then waved at her best friend as Raiden carried her from the store.
