We suddenly stopped inches from the dirt and floated there for a few seconds before I landed gracefully on my feet. When I clocked her face, I stared in stunned silence.
She smiled smugly and winked at me.
Holy shit.
She’d done it on purpose, the little minx. I laughed and shook my head. Then I nipped at her lip before growling, “You’re so going to pay for that.”
“As long as we’re naked, I’ll take any punishment you’ve got to give,” Isla purred.
I grinned. “I like the way you think, baby.”
Slowly, I dropped her legs, and when she was steady, I let her go so I could tuck myself into my jeans. Then I took her hand, and we began to make our way back to the cabin. I chuckled when we arrived there in minutes. Not only had she been aware enough to keep us in the air but she’d also specifically brought us down near the house.
The leaves crunched beneath our shoes, the hum of the active forest surrounding us, but it still felt as if we were the only two people in the world. Isla turned to me and curved her mouth to form a naughty smile. “Your dirty mind must be rubbing off on me.” Then she dropped my hand and made a mad dash for the front door. I caught up to her just as she reached the porch. Her wings were spread open, so I couldn’t get the right angle to sweep her into my arms. Instead, I captured her wrist and whipped her around to face me. Then I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder as I stomped into the house and over to the bed.
We spent the rest of the day fucking on every surface and in every way imaginable. In between, we cuddled and got to know each other better.
When night fell, we were exhausted, but that didn’t stop me from taking her twice more throughout the night. After the last orgasm, Isla groaned and flopped onto her back, muttering, “I don’t think I’m going to be able to walk tomorrow.”
I smirked as she snuggled into my side. “Mission accomplished,” I snickered. “Although, as you pointed out. If you can’t walk, you’ll just fly. So I might need to find some way to tie you to the bed, because I don’t intend to let you out of it anytime soon.”

My days off from work couldn’t have come at a better time. Cooper and I spent the next day exactly like the one before it, splitting our time between the bed and the sky. Taking him up in the air made me appreciate my ability to fly even more because I knew how much it hurt him not to be able to pilot planes anymore. Being able to give some of the freedom Cooper felt while up in the air back to him meant the world to me.
Our mutual love of flying was something we bonded over, helping us to get to know each other even more quickly. Then again, that also could’ve been because we’d spent the past forty-eight-plus hours together nonstop. From everything that I had heard about dating in the normal world, that was basically the equivalent of more than twenty dates and two or three months of being together.
“Thank you,” I whispered as we wandered through the woods. I’d landed us farther out than usual because there was a waterfall I wanted to show Cooper. It looked especially pretty right as the sun set, so we’d timed the end of our flight for this evening.
He hugged me against his side. “I think I’m the one who’s supposed to be saying that, baby. For taking me on another fantastic flight and bringing me to see the waterfall you’ve been raving about.”
“But I wouldn’t have been able to do any of that if you hadn’t come looking for me in the first place.” I gave him a quick peck on the cheek before darting forward.
He chased after me, catching up as we broke through the trees and came upon the pool of water the fall dumped into. “You were right. This is beautiful.”
I turned to him and reached for the button on his jeans. “The only thing better would be if we were frolicking naked in it together.”
“Please don’t,” a deep voice mumbled from our left.
My head jerked toward the sound, and I heaved a deep sigh when I spotted Koen Kelly sitting at the edge of the water about fifty feet away from us. He had a fishing pole in one hand and a beer in the other.
“Oops, sorry.” My cheeks heated as I realized he would’ve gotten a heck of a show if he hadn’t spoken up. I was so lost in Cooper that I never would have noticed he was there.
Cooper wrapped his arm around me and pulled me against his side, his fingers stroking over my feathers. “I’m sorry we didn’t see you. We’ll let you get back to your fishing.”
Koen jerked his chin up and then turned to stare into the water while he took a sip of his beer.
Cooper looked over his shoulder a couple of times as he walked away, a furrow in his brow. Once we were far enough away that Koen couldn’t hear us, I said, “Don’t worry about Koen. He would've acted the same if we hadn’t interrupted his fishing by almost flashing him. It’s not anything we did, he’s always a bit of a grouch. I think that’s why he and one of my employees, Braylon, get along so well. They have the grumpy demeanor thing in common.”
“That’s not what was bothering me,” Cooper murmured.
I tilted my head to the side. “Then what’s wrong?”
“Was I seeing right? Or were my eyes playing tricks on me?” Cooper asked, raking his fingers through his hair. “Did that guy have horns in his head and flames swirling in his eyes?”
“Yes, that’s what happened when he was turned into a demon,” I confirmed, stumbling to a stop when I realized the implication of what Cooper had just said. “Wait a second. You could see the flames in his eyes from that far away? Even with the sun setting?”
