A Love's Surrender

Chapter 5

Kianri awoke knowing someone was hovering over her. Immediately she prepared for an attack. " Kianri, wake up and remember who you are." Sasha save her. She calmly woke up to see it was Hannah of course hovering over her.

"Morning!" Goodness, humans were loud. "Guess who is moving in furniture this lovely morning?"

"Who?" She grumbled through her instant headache.

"Your hunk of manliness, and may I say you were right to stumble over yourself he is yummy." Hannah continued.

"Cade? How do you know?"

"Let's just say I did a little recon. You said he was your new neighbor so I took a walk. Now come on! He is moving in furniture, shirtless." With that she threw on some clothes and headed for the door. Hannah leading the way.

Her mouth watered when she caught sight of him. He was indeed shirtless, showing off his beautiful straining muscles. How could he be a human and so beautiful? "Need some help?" She called over to him. He looked up stopping his work. A sexy, secretive smile spread across his face, almost as if his lure worked.

"Would love some." He called over to her. Only her, his cinnamon eyes hadn't left her the entire time. They both entered his yard, Hannah immediately taking a helpful place on the moving truck. Kianri actually seized a not so heavy by her standards but the limit of a normal human female piece of furniture. It gave them time to be alone once they entered the house. He hadn't done much decorating, it was bare but then again he was still moving. He didn't even seem to have many boxes, all of his furniture was new. She was curious about these things.

"So where are you coming from?" she asked casually.

"Not far, grew up a town over and just needed a change of scenery." He answered easily enough. Her suspicion died down a bit, what was she looking for anyway?

"How about you?" he emerged from the room as she set down the chair she was carrying. Turning around she was greeted with the full sight of him. Her breathe hitched filling her nose with the hazelnut scent he carried. It was as intoxicating as he was, shirtless, sweating, beautifully sculpted. His hand waving in front of her. "Are you ok?" she was filled with mortification.

"Me? Yes I'm a foster, one of Ms. Kay's. I thought you knew that you did come to my birthday party." He stepped still closer to her. Finding he was a breath away, taking hers again.

"What if I told you I wasn't invited?" he confused her further by whispering in her ear. "What if I told you I simply saw you and crashed it."

"I – I don't understand." She barely managed to get out before she was attacked from behind. She felt scratched on her legs making her jump. Looking down she saw a malicious looking orange tabby cat.

"Felix!" he yelled down at him and the feline scampered off. Flicking his tail as if almost to say 'you're welcome'. "I'm so sorry." Cade backed away regaining his composure.

Hannah called her from outside, seeing as they had been in there for a long time. "I should be going." She rushed off.

"Hate to break this up but my mom just pulled in." Hannah said as she emerged from the door. She practically dragged Hannah out of the yard. "Hey what gives?"

"Thanks, I think." She finally blurted out halfway between the houses.

"Ooh what happened in there?" Hannah's voice filled with intrigue. "And what happened to your legs?" she commented on the blood now running down to her feet.

"His crazy cat attacked me, whatever that doesn't matter."

"Yes what does is what you're going to do with him." Hannah's mom honked and she let out a groan.

"Call me ok?" she yelled rushing off to meet her mom.

Yes, what was she going to do about this. She couldn't have feelings for a human, anything could prevent her from going home. If her father ever found out she had any relations with a human he would have a fit. She couldn't resist Cade, she knew this. She walked through the door to be greeted by Sasha.

"You aren't going to see him again." She almost demanded.

"Yes, your right. I owe this to you at least. I will steer clear of Cade." That was that. She hoped.
