Excerpt:
Ruth Ann drifted to sleep and woke when Frankie
silenced the engine of the airplane. “We got here quick.
I’m glad I missed the landing. It scares me to land and
take-off.”
“I didn’t know. I thought you liked to fly.” He
unfastened his seat belt.
“I do, after we’re in the air and before we land.”
She waited for him to come around and help her out of
the plane.
His Ford coupe sat alone in the parking lot. He put
her suitcases in the car and headed into the hangar. “I
have a couple of things to do before I take you home, I
won’t be long.”
She followed him. She roamed the building to
make sure Al wasn’t hiding. “I’ll wait in here with
you.” Her heart raced with excitement while her
stomach quivered from nerves. She wanted to kiss him,
wanted him to kiss her.
Frankie stepped to his desk and studied a piece of
paper.
She followed him, took the paper out of his hand,
and placed it on the desk. She captured his hands and
placed them around her waist.
He stepped back. “What’re ya doin’?”
She tiptoed and put her hands behind his neck and
pulled his head toward her. She kissed him. The touch
of his lips sent a shock wave through her body. He took
control and devoured her mouth in a demanding kiss.
She reveled in his scent. He smelled like musk, spice,
motor oil, and the sky.
