I glance between Max and Sydney while they’re having a staring contest then to Aiden. What am I missing?

“Max is just being Max.” Aiden chuckles, grabbing Max’s shoulder. “Let’s go, children.”

Max growls under his breath. “I’ll show you child. I’m a hundred percent man,” he says, grabbing his crotch.

My eyes go wide. I would expect this from Damon, but Max? Never. He’s more of the reserved guy, likes to watch from the sidelines, and you never see him coming until it’s too late. That’s Max.

“Oh, my God! I’m going to die,” Syd says dramatically.

“Max, play nice. Sydney is nervous, and you’re not helping,” I grind out, pushing his arm.

Max stops and looks back at Syd, who hasn’t moved from her spot. “Tink, I wouldn’t let anything happen to you.” His voice turns serious, but I’m still surprised he’s using that nickname. He walks back to her and surprisingly throws her over his shoulder. “Stop sulking and let’s go fly.”

She screams and kicks her feet, yelling his name. A large hand lands on her ass, smacking her silent. I gasp, waiting for the shrill voice to come. When he keeps walking past us, Syd’s submission shocks the hell out of me.

I turn toward Aiden, and I know what he’s thinking. The devilish glint in his eyes as he bites his lip has my body wanting to jump on him and run away at the same time.

“Don’t you dare. I told you already what would happen to that hand,” I say instantly, already backing away from him.

His emerald green eyes gleam with challenge as his lips curl into a salacious grin. I twist my lips, watching his every move. Challenge accepted.

The second I see movement of his foot, I turn and run toward the hangar. He’s close, but not close enough. Instinct has me turning to see where he is. Unfortunately, instinct doesn’t know about the rock I’m about to trip over.

“Shit,” I scream on my way down onto the grassy area. I roll as much as I can to avoid the hard impact on my knees and hands. Thanks, Tony, for teaching me that trick.

“Nice dismount,” Aiden jokes as he reaches me.

“Haha, funny man. Help me up,” I say, putting out my hand for him to grab.

Aiden holds both his hands up in the air, shaking his head slowly. “Nope. I fell for that once.” He smirks. “Last time I got kneed in the nuts and shot.”

“You’re still bitter about that, huh?” I giggle, pushing myself off the ground. He’s serious. He is not going to help.

He picks the grass out of my hair as I dust off the dirt and grass from my clothes.

Aiden stands really close to me, leaning down to my ear. “No, the real reason I didn’t help was because watching your tight ass run in front of me got my dick hard, and if I would’ve helped, I would have thrown myself on you.” He bites my ear before sucking it. Chills spread over my entire body.

“But we need to go,” he states quickly, grabbing my hand and pulling me forward. He adjusts himself with his other hand as we walk, and I chuckle. He looks down at me with an amused smirk. “You should know not to run from me,” he jokes, squeezing my hand.

I roll my eyes. “If it wasn’t for the damn rock, I would have made it.” I stick my tongue out at him.

“I’m about to give you something to do with that tongue.” His threat sparks a desire deep within me. I let out a soft mewl. “Addison,” he growls. “Your best friend is going to get a little show here in a minute if you don’t cut that out,” he says, adjusting himself again.

“So, how’s Katie?” I say, trying to get his obvious hard-on to become not so obvious. He looks down at me again and throws his head back, laughing. God, his laugh is as gorgeous as he is.

As we walk up to the hangar, I quickly glance down. “We’re good. For now,” he says, winking at me.

Walking into the hangar, Max is helping Sydney put on her jumpsuit. It’s super quiet in here. I tilt my head. I mean, Max is usually quiet, but Syd … she’s abnormally silent.

She looks up and catches me watching them. Her lips curl into a small smile, and she rolls her eyes at Max. “The dominant asshole doesn’t think I can do it myself, so he’s doing it for me.”

I hear Max growl something under his breath, but I can’t make out what it is. But Syd does. Her face turns red and her eyes get huge.

“Ugh. Not in your lifetime,” Syd sneers, stepping away from his grasp. He stands up with a wicked smile and walks over to put on his jumpsuit. “I’m burning up in this thing. I’ll meet y’all outside,” she says, obviously flustered. Max lets out one of his booming laughs.

I’m so enthralled with what’s happening right now I don’t notice Aiden standing beside me, holding my jump suit.

“What’s so interesting?” he whispers in my ear.
