Runaway Mate

Jet

Jennifer's POV

After a while of driving, we pull up to a guard gate. Stefanie stated her name and he opened the gate for her to drive through. Looking around, it seems like a small airport. What are we doing here? Stefanie parks the car and she and Alison get out of the car. I soon follow their lead and step out as well.

"Where are we?" I ask them, but they remain silent. They each grab my hand and walk me to, well, I'm not sure yet.

"You're not afraid of heights, are you?" Alison asks and I shake my head. "Good." She smiles back at me. We continue walking until I see him. Josh. He is in black pants and a black button up shirt, but the sleeves are rolled up on his forearms. He looks handsome to say the least.

"Well, this is where we leave you. Have fun tonight!" Stefanie says as she hugs me. Alison doing the same afterwards. I slowly walk closer to Josh, as he does the same to me. Without a word, he grabs my hand lightly and leads me on to a jet. My mouth hits the floor as I take in the scene. There's a small table with roses in the middle and soft music playing in the background.

"You look breath-taking." I hear his voice softly next to my ear. He places a kiss on the crook of my neck, sending shivers down my spine. "As do you." I turn around to face him. "This" I point around to the inside of the jet "Is beautiful!" He smiles and looks relieved. "I'm glad you think so. Please, take a seat." He pulls the chair out for me to sit before he goes to the other one.

A man enters and introduces himself as Benjamin, our pilot. Josh obviously knew him, so it was more like introducing himself to me. "We are about to take off and should reach our destination in an hour." Josh nods to him and he goes back to the front of the jet. "He's been my personal pilot for four years now. We are safe with him." I look at him, registering what he just said. "Wait, do you own this jet?" I ask. He grins and nods. "Yes." My eyes are wide and he chuckles. "You like it?" I nod my head with my eyes still popping out of my sockets.

"Where are we going?" I ask, as I feel us going higher into the sky. He simply smirks at me. "You will find out soon. For now though, let's enjoy our food." He gets up and walks to the back of the jet, exiting the small door. He then comes back with two plates of food. Placing it on the table, he then goes back to where he was and returns with a bottle of wine and water bottles.

My stomach rumbles as soon as I see the chicken alfredo in front of me. Taking a bite of it, I let out an involuntary moan. As the sound escapes my lips, I hear a low growl. "How do you make that sound when in human form?" I ask Josh. "My wolf, vampire, and I are one. So, it's easy for their sounds to be heard from me. I just can't speak when I'm in wolf form though." Ah. That makes sense.

"Are you afraid of me?" He asks, catching me off guard.

"No. Should I be?" I raise an eyebrow at him. Wondering where this is coming from.

He smiles and shakes his head, "No."

"I just wanted to make sure since I know all of this is still new to you. I want you to know that I would never, ever, hurt you. I would die to protect you from anything bad in this world. In this short amount of time, I've already fallen for you." I go to say something, but he places a finger to my lips.

"You don't have to say anything. I understand it's too soon for you, and that's normal. I just had to let you know how I feel."

This all seems too good to be true. I keep waiting to wake up from a dream, but I never do. This is reality, but it's difficult for me to accept it. I don't feel like I deserve someone like Josh. He's so sweet, protective, and hot as hell. Before meeting him, I was always a strong, confident woman. With him, I find myself stuttering over my words, blushing, and feel as though my walls are being knocked down.

"Hey, are you okay? I didn't mean to upset you." I snap out of my thoughts as I feel Josh's thumb wipe away my tears. I had no idea I was even crying. Nodding my head, "Yeah, I'm okay. Better than okay actually." I smile at him before leaning in and kissing the handsome man by my side.
