The Crime: Billionaire Love At First Sight (All In Series Book 3)

by Maggie Cole

  “Laura?” Tom peered down at me in the doorway and waited for me to move.

  Upon hearing my name, he slowly put the phone down and turned around.

  “Laura?” A grin started to form on his face.

  My eyes widened, and I spun to walk away, but Tom’s 6’10 frame was right behind me. I gazed up and saw a frown on Tom’s face. “Laura?”

  “Move,” I hissed.

  He jerked his head back and stepped aside. I had never hissed at Tom before.

  I walked as fast as I could to the front of the plane. The warmer blanket was over the door. I quickly pulled it back, attempted to trot down the steps, and grabbed the cold, slippery rail. As my blood boiled, tears welled in my eyes, and I heard voices but couldn’t comprehend what anyone shouted to me.

  I scurried down the stairs. The blizzard gusted all around, and a white blanket loomed in front of me. As the snow pounded down, the cold wind repeatedly slapped me across the face.

  There was so much snow. I tried to walk faster, but the thick, wetness slammed into me. My feet moved one in front of the other and slowly crunched through the snow. I didn’t know where I was going. I just knew I needed to get as far away from him as possible.

  I’m not sure how far I got. Suddenly, I felt someone grab my arm and spin me. I almost slipped and fell, but he caught me in his arms.

  He pulled me tight into his chest. “Laura, I’m so sorry.”

  I sank into him for a brief minute, felt his familiarity and warmth, and inhaled his spicy and intoxicating scent. His strong biceps flexed around me. Our bodies flushed perfectly together, and his hands stroked my hair. The quick beat of his heart banged against my ear.

  Then I realized what I was doing. I would not melt in this man's arms. No, I would never again put myself in that position. I pulled back and pushed my palms against him. “Let me go,” I screamed, as rage ran through me.

  He embraced me tighter. “No! Sweetheart, I’m so sorry,” he drawled.

  I reached up and slapped him. Hard. “I’m not your Sweetheart!”
