CHAPTER SIX

Caitlyn held her breath as she stood watching Tyler taxi the Piper toward the runway. How could she have left him to do this alone, after vowing so stridently she'd go with him? Unfortunately, she was afraid she knew the reason.

It was simple.

Her brain had short-circuited when he'd grabbed her chin in his strong hand. She'd felt the imprint of each finger branding her skin. At that moment, she couldn't have denied him anything he requested. Nothing. Nada. Zilch.

He'd been so intense in the cockpit just now. Even though he'd said he wanted her to leave, his smoldering eyes told her otherwise. A thrilling chill had skittered over her skin. She hadn't been able to resist kissing him before climbing out of the plane. Her knees had wobbled when she'd hit the tarmac, but somehow she'd managed not to fall on her butt.

Caitlyn shaded her eyes and waited for Tyler to take the Piper up. For some reason, he'd stopped in the middle of the runway. It was hard for her to imagine what he must be going through. He'd said he hadn't been afraid to fly, only how could he have been totally immune to doubts after such a life-threatening crash?

So far, she'd never had a flying mishap. Please God, she never would.

Suddenly, the engine shut down and the door to the cockpit flew open. Tyler got out of the plane and strode purposely toward her. Dear lord. If she'd thought he'd been intense before, that was nothing compared to the thundering rage now marring the handsome features of his face.

He looked like he wanted to kill someone. He looked like he wanted to kill her.

Caitlyn stood her ground. She wasn't afraid. Not really. She knew Tyler would never hurt her physically. It was emotionally she had to guard against.

The man had suffered an internal upheaval when he'd revisited the wreckage this morning. Attempting the solo flight had probably been too much in one day. A person could only take so much conflict before floundering in sensory overload.

Tyler might be Mr. Do or Die McCade, but he was only human, after all. And at the moment, he was an extremely furious human male.

He stopped right in front of her, so close she could feel the heat and anger radiating off him.

She licked her suddenly dry lips and forced herself not to step back. "What's wrong? What happened?" To her consternation, her voice trembled slightly.

Tyler didn't speak for a moment; he couldn't speak. He'd never felt such a scalding rage before in his entire life. If that weren't enough, he'd never experienced such a potent desire for a woman, either. The combination was threatening the thin thread of control holding him together.

His world was crashing down around him and she wanted to know what was wrong? If not for her, he'd be flying the Piper high in the sky right now.

If not for her, he wouldn't be so goddamned horny.

Tyler closed the distance and gripped Caitlyn's shoulders. Her tank top didn't cover much of her above the chest, so skin touched skin, scorching them both.
