EXCERPT
The doors opened and a few of the flight attendants
came out, along with a handful of passengers. Buzz was out first and greeted
us. He wrapped an arm around Laura and gave me a wink as they left, as though
all was forgiven for his prank. Some of the Saints’ crew followed, then the
coach, and Lucas who gave Mia a wave and pointed in the direction of the
journos. She nodded, knowing he had to give a quick interview first.
Tomás came into sight, greeted us all and left with
Alice, and then Nik and The Russian appeared. The Russian’s eyes scanned the
area and found mine, and he gave me a smile that would launch ships. He walked
towards me, threw his bag over his shoulder and wrapped his spare arm around
me, pressing me hard to him, our lips locked. It was so healing, his lips on
mine, his skin against mine, just the feel of his strong body encompassing me,
and he didn’t stop kissing me. I couldn’t believe it, in front of his teammates
and everything!
“Geez, not in public you two, cut it out,” Lucas
teased, coming over and giving Mia a showy kiss.
“Get a room, Russian,” Nik added as Sasha threw
herself at him, and then we heard the sound of flashes and The Russian released
me just a few inches, enough to draw a breath.
“So needed that,” he said. “Hello, Brooker.”
“Hello Russian,” I grinned up at him, admiring his
dark eyes and beautiful face. He looked exhausted.
“We need to get home immediately,” The Russian
said, slightly breathless. “Let’s go.”
He released me only enough so I could walk, tucking
me into his body, ignoring the flashes of cameras. When we got to my car, he
threw his bag in the back seat and sat back while I drove, annoying me by
rubbing his hand over my leg, and anywhere else he could get access to before I
hit him away for being distracting. We hardly spoke, we just wanted to be
together, to be near each other.
The Russian hustled me straight into my bedroom,
closing my bedroom door with his foot and knocking me onto the bed. When we were settled, he stopped and
placed his forehead on mine.
