A few days later…
“So, you remember the plan…?” Vanessa asked her husband Matt anxiously.
Rolling his eyes, “Yes love…!” He muttered out sarcastically, whilst they were driving towards one of the family’s business premises, they owned a few buildings in town and across the country.
The Hunter family had their hands in many ventures and were doing rather well financially.
“Don’t get cocky with me…” She argued, giving him a glare, “I just want things to look like it happened naturally…”
Sighing, he reached out and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze, ”I understand and I am sorry for upsetting you.” He responded, “I will make sure that Cade is in my office, facing the showroom floor, making sure that at all times he is facing your section. So that when your client walks in, he has a full view and then we can take things from there and I will keep you informed of his “hidden” reactions, since I know him better than anyone else around.”
Giving her husband a smile, “Thank you…” She spoke, “Just trust me on this…I think it’s going to be the ice-breaker.”
Matt gave his wife a sideways glance, before returning his attention on to the road.
“Amen to that…” He responded, never doubting his wife’s intentions, it’s one of the reasons he loved her so much and thankful that she was his soul mate, “Cade really needs to get out of his foul mood, lately it is starting to affect business and with the kids leaving soon for college, he has become grouchier, worse than a bear.”
Vanessa nodded her head, agreeing with Matt, both becoming quiet, deep in thought, as they finally reached one of the uniquely privately owned car dealerships the Hunter family owned.
Vanessa was one of the top sales women, whilst Matt was part owner of the large company, together with his brothers, though he mostly dealt with the accounts/ bookkeeping.
Their parents had retired, leaving the businesses in the capable hands of their three sons.
Luke was the one who handled the social scene, together with his wife, Sasha, bringing in new clients, near and far, they would always be out and about, mixing with the rich, as well as organizing events for the company.
Cade, who was the oldest of the siblings, handled the rest of the business, as well as being part of the team, that designed some of their unique custom cars, overseeing the design and completion of each vehicle.
In addition, the business was a front, Cade, was actually the Alpha of the Hunter pack, Matt was Beta and Luke was Delta.
The business was a way for them to blend in with the humans, as well as being a financial source of income for keeping their pack running.
It was not the only business they had, but this one dealt exclusively with custom-built vehicles for privileged wealthy customers, which in turn funded most of their privileged lifestyle, as well as funding for certain charity organizations that the family was part of.
Matt helped his wife out of their luxury vehicle, his hand automatically going to her lower back, both making their way to the premises, greeting staff as they made their way in.
Vanessa’s client would be arriving soon and she was excited for the family to meet the woman that she knew would somehow break the barriers of the older Hunter brother, she could not pinpoint how she knew, it was an instinctual feeling on her part.
In addition, even if things didn’t work out with Cade, Vanessa had over the past two weeks gotten to know her client over the course of their acquaintance and she had liked the woman on the spot, they had become instant friends and Vanessa was sure that everyone would love her.
Matt gave his wife a kiss, “Right…let us get this show on the road.” He teased, tapping her on her butt, then giving her a wink, as he made his way to his office, whistling a happy tune as he went.
Vanessa glared at her husband’s back, huffing in embarrassment, ten years married with that man and he still found a way of getting to her in public and making her blush.
Not that she was going to complain, he sure did have a sexy ass and he was always making her feel loved and special.
Huffing in defeat, thinking perhaps she will get him later that evening, a smirk forming on her lips, as she thought of delicious ways of getting back at him.
She then began to concentrate and prepare the paperwork she needed for her client and making sure that the vehicle was ready and pristine.
As she looked at the car that her client had chosen, Vanessa could only smirk, it was one of Cade’s favorite vehicles that he had exclusively designed.
Vanessa hoped that the mutual liking in the design, might just bring the two together and perhaps rouse a spark…
Ava could not believe that the day had finally arrived, calling a taxi, she left her son’s apartment and travelled to the dealership which was over two hours away.Sitting in the back seat, barely taking note of the scenery passing by, she pondered over the events that had led her here to this point in time, making this journey to fetch a uniquely designed vehicle, a one of a kind car, something she would not have considered over a year ago...Life had not always been so easy for her, about four years previously, out of the blue, her husband of almost twenty years of marriage, up and left her for a younger model, aka…his personal ass
Cade was not in the best of moods, today was one of those days that he wished to be anywhere but at work.His ex was trying to get back into his life, her latest boy toy had dumped her and she was feeling old and lonely.She had been pestering him of late, constantly pitching up at his place, on the pretence of checking up on the kids or calling him at inconvenient times, whining about stupid nonsense.As if he would take her back, he scoffed to himself, she was in for a rude awakening, he would not touch her with a beanpole, especially since she had not been faithful in the last few years of their marriage, luckily by then, they had been living separate lives, each with their own room.So, when he finally had the proof he needed to separate from her, he had not looked back, luckily his kids were old enough at the time to understand that their parents were not made for each other or were even soul mates.However, he always made su
Vanessa’s phone pinged, apologizing to Ava, she quickly scanned the message, a smirk forming on her face, it seems that her dear brother-in-law took the bait, now they had to see how things panned out for the rest of the day.Ava had finally signed all the necessary documentation and according to Vanessa, they would be sent to the DMV, to get stamped, sealed and sorted.And whilst she waited, Vanessa would show her the vehicle that she had fallen in love with and bought.Following Vanessa to a section of the showroom, her n
Cade rolled his eyes at his sister-in-law, he was more than eager to help her in this case, wanting to get to know the woman who had intrigued him from the moment his eyes had landed on her.Gazing down at her small form in the chair, a tingling sensation formed throughout his body in anticipation, as she slowly turned to face him, her light blue eyes widening in surprise as she took in his form.Cade was struck by her natural beauty, wondering on how old she actually was and if he wasn’t cradle snatching, she seemed so young close-up and her sweet scent drove him wild.
“Are we going with that…?” She stuttered nervously out, shifting from side to side, wondering how she was going to get on that thing.Cade frowned, “Haven’t you been on one of these before?” He asked, as he took a helmet to place on her head.Shaking her head in denial, “Nope…!” She replied, “Thought about it…never had the courage to try it.” She admitted truthfully, still staring at the huge contraption before her, somewhat in awe of its design and power.
“Hi Drake…” Ava spoke between bites the moment the call connected, much too Cade’s amusement.“Hi Mom…” The caller replied, Cade’s tense body sagging in relief, he had thought that the caller was a partner…Forcing himself to discreetly listen to the conversation, giving the impression he was giving her privacy, when in fact he was doing the opposite, genuinely interested in hearing her talk with her son.“Why are you calling…?” Ava asked, getting straigh
Ava returned to their table, her smile widening as Gloria approached the moment she had taken her seat and placing the dessert in front of her.“Thank you soooo much…!” Ava drawled out, taking a bite of the gooey chocolate fudge cake, moaning yet again, seriously she was in heaven.Her manners abandoning her the moment her gaze had landed on the sweet treat, barely acknowledging anyone around her, living in her own fantasy world…Surprised and stunned, Cade could only look on, as Ava devoured the dessert
Having unfortunately reached their destination, Cade helped Ava off his bike and again placed his hand on her lower back, it seemed that he was looking for all kinds of reasons to touch her in some form or other.As they entered the dealership, Vanessa was in an instant beside them, a smile on her face, as she hooked her arm with Ava’s “So, how was lunch?” She asked, guiding Ava towards her desk, leaving Cade behind.“It was great, thank you.” Ava replied, looking back over her shoulder, seeing that Matt had stopped Cade at the entrance, her body feeling the loss of not having him near or touching her, a small frown
