She flipped on the hallway lights on her way to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of wine.
“You’re simply stunning, Kaia Coll,” a deep and familiar male voice said, making her jump in fright with a squeal.
There stood Greyson Verlice in the middle of her living room. He was breathtaking, even in a simple pair of jeans and a white tee.
“Wha ...” she began to say before running into his arms, tears stinging her eyes.
He chuckled as he caught her. They kissed passionately, making up for lost time.
“Are you really here?” she asked, kissing his cheeks.
He laughed again. “Yes. I’m here.”
Kaia couldn’t quite believe Grey was in her home and finally in her arms. “How is everything? The company? The thunder?”
“It’s all fine. Or, at the very least, it’s on its way to being fine. There’s still a lot of work to do. There’s a fair amount of damage control I’m having to wade through. But at least most people seem to be open to all the changes and the new direction we’re headed in.”
“That’s wonderful, Grey.”’
“It’s so nice to take a second and hold you.” He breathed her in.
She could feel how tired he was, but he had still made time to come see her. “Why did you fly all this way? You must be so tired.”
He shook his head. “It’s been too long since we’ve been together, love. I hated the way I had to leave the resort so quickly too. It’s been eating at me.”
“What else could you have done? You did the right thing.”
He cupped her face in his hands. “I missed you.”
“And I missed you so much.”
They settled on the couch and continued to hold each other tightly. They kissed every few seconds, sinking into their time together.
“How long do you think we can keep this up?” she asked. “Living this far apart?”
“However long you want,” he assured her. “I’ll fly over as often as we need it.”
“Aren’t you scared of being discovered by the humans?” They both stopped and threw their heads back, laughing. Humans weren’t exactly great at spotting the paranormal world around them. “But all jokes aside, that’s a lot of wasted time,” her tone was sobered.
“Not a chance. There’s no way I would ever look at flight time to you as wasted time.”
“A busy Alpha and CEO, spending an hour a day flying out to be with me?”
“I like to fly to clear my head. If anything, it’ll be good for me to have that commuting time.”
Just the thought that he would do that for her made her heart sing. If Grey said something, he surely meant it. Kaia was comforted by the knowledge that this man would move hell and high water to be with her. It made her earlier decision that much easier.
“I need to tell you something,” she said, leading him to the couch. They sat closely together, their hands instinctively reaching out for each other.
“What’s up, love?” his frown made her smile.
“This is actually good news. This morning, I emailed an old college friend of mine who just happens to teach in Nashua. I mentioned to her that I might be looking for a guidance counseling job near Lumberville.”
“Lumberville,” he smiled. “That’s where I live.”
“I know,” she pressed her lips to his. “Maybe it’s because I’m in love with a dragon, but I’m coming in hot right now, aren’t I?”
He chuckled. “Yeah, but I love it. It suits you. It also means you’ll be a great alpha mate.”
