Volt is about to help Edi paint the walls in the shop she’s hired out. He doesn’t know her well but there’s a clear attraction to her, even though she believes in things which he’s shut his heart from.


Extract:
His inner handyman took over and he noticed the flooring was new. “You got something to protect the floor? You should’ve painted first.”
“I know, but the flooring people could only do the job yesterday, and today luckily, I’ve got you to help. In the other bag. I can’t get the paint tin open.”
“You think you’re lucky to have me.” He winked.
“I do. Now help me get this lid off.”
He stepped closer. There was something he wanted to take off, her clothes. He could feel the heat intensify in him. She looked him squarely in the eyes. A little defiance there, a challenge perhaps, and fuck he loved it. It took all his self-control not to slip his hands around her waist and pull her to him.
“Good to know you’re not taking advantage of me.” He kept looking into her eyes, they were blue and seemed to hold more than a lifetime in them, a shadow of hurt there too for someone so youthful. But there was also heat and lust reflecting back at him. “Though, I might be all right if you were.”
Her pupils dilated at his comment. Her body betraying a more profound need.
“Well, I might just do that if you hang around long enough.”
His breath caught. She took his banter and gave it back, and it was making his body stir. He quite liked that trait of hers. “Then I’m never leaving.”
“Not even if I keep burning incense?”
“Nope, that’s not going to send me away. Besides, you’re trying to get rid of bad energy, right? And I’m not bad. Unless you want me to be.”
“Oh…” She breathed out. Edi’s face flushed as he stood there facing her. He was so close he could reach out and touch her. It was as if sparks were flying between them. It felt damn good and he wanted more. And for it not to stop any time soon.
Locked looking into her eyes, he felt himself leaning forward. Volt wanted to taste her, feel her, just a little. A bit of an entrĂ©e to see if he wanted more, though he already knew he wanted all of her. It was as if they were already melding together somehow. Volt couldn’t explain it. He didn’t care. The desires controlled him and he responded. Moving closer to touch her lips with his own, he could feel her reaching toward him. Then her breath on his lips.
