“That’s fair. I am so sorry.” I didn’t even want to know how much his outfit cost since it was likely more than my rent per month.
I rushed to my bag, grabbing some leggings and a loose-fitted sweater. When I turned around, I was met with the backside view of a shirtless Kade. Holy hell, the front would surely make me die. A large lion tattoo took up almost the entirety of his back. All of his muscles bulged and moved as he reached into the overhead compartment to get some clothes.
“If you want to change in the bedroom, you are welcome to. I will take the bathroom,” he stated without turning to me. I nodded, forgetting he couldn’t see my face.
After we had both changed, I walked back into the main cabin and was about to sit back down when I heard Kade’svoice. “If you are tired, you can rest in the bedroom. It didn’t look like you could get comfortable.”
I furrowed my brows, surprised that he had noticed.
“Ok, I think I’ll take you up on that.” My stomach growled and I knew if I didn’t have something in my belly, I wouldn’t be able to sleep. I grabbed my purse and took a handful of marshmallows from the baggie I had stashed. Some carried drugs in their bags, I carried marshmallows.
I popped two in my mouth. A choking sound made my head snap up.
Kade patted his chest before letting out a laugh. “Are those marshmallows?” Shock was evident all over his face.
I’d forgotten that he didn’t know about my slight obsession over the sweet, squishy goodness unlike the squad and the Hive, all of whom already made fun of me for love of the squishy substance.
I tried to gulp down the two mallows, but they took a few more chews to go down. I looked down at my feet. “Yes… yes they are.”
He chuckled while shaking his head. “Interesting choice for a snack. You do realize we have a fully stocked fridge and pantry on the plane, right?”
“Don’t knock the snack before you’ve tried it.” I stuffed another in my mouth. “Who needs chips or other snacks when you have this yummy goodness?” My voice sounded muffled from the food in my mouth.
He put his hands up in surrender. “I’ll take your word for it.”
I smiled in return before plopping another in my mouth and walking to the bedroom.

Out of everything I thought Evelyn would like, marshmallows were not at the top of the list. What kind of person eats marshmallows like chips and keeps a bag of them in their purse?
I knew this trip would allow me to get to know her better; however this little fact just made me want to laugh.
I knew how the flight started was not the greatest. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to talk to the beautiful brunette that occupied my mind rent-free 24/7. Just before she arrived, I’d gotten a call from Machine with news that another shipment from the Bratva had been ransacked with my additional security measures. We agreed that there had to be a mole within our team, and we needed to find out who it was.
I’d spent the first part of the flight hacking into security systems to identify the attack's leader.
Thankfully, I had just taken a break when Evelyn crashed into me. I could still feel the heat of her skin on mine through the fabric of our clothes. I could’ve cared less about the whiskey spill. Seeing her theresent my mind immediately picturing her on my lap, riding me until we were both spent. It took all of my willpower not to go into the bedroom that she currently occupied to get this pent-up sexual tension out of me. Since the moment I laid eyes on her, I’d had a permanent hard-on.
The flight attendant informed me that we would be landing shortly. Getting up, I carefully opened the door to the bedroom and was hit with her vanilla scent. The smell alone made me salivate.
In the center of the bed, Evelyn had cocooned herself in a throw blanket and buried her face into the pillows. Her brown hair was splayed all over the backside of the pillow. She looked so at peace. I sat on the edge of the bed and gently moved some hair behind her ear then gripped her shoulder and lightly shook it.
“Evelyn, we’ll be landing soon. I need you to wake up.” My voice was gentle.
She squirmed under my touch and slowly met my heated gaze. A sleepy smile took over her face before she mumbled something incoherent. I stood up and reluctantly walked to the door.
“That ass, mmmm,” I heard her mumble under her breath.
She was definitely still half asleep. I couldn’t help but smirk in amusement.
It was highly frowned upon for a CEO to sleep with one of his employees; however, I couldn’t help but wonder if maybe I needed to get it out of my system. GetEvelyn Mowersout of my system. No strings attached, just fun. There was no way in hell I could ever want more than that with her.
