As they flew over the Atlantic, Aidan reluctantly put thoughts of Emma, naked in his bed, aside. He needed to make plans. Contingency plans, in case things went awry.

Aidan pulled out his phone and powered it on. A flood of voicemails, emails, and texts came through, prompting Emma to look up in surprise.

“I thought I was the only one who had your number?” Her voice was deceptively mild, but Aidan heard the note of jealousy.

“This is my work number,” he said, holding up the BlackBerry. “You have my personal, American one. When we land, I’ll obtain a mobile for you. With my personal Irish number.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’m disappearing, remember?”

“To everyone else,” he reminded her. “Never to me. I’ll get you a secured line.”

“Sometimes I forget just how wealthy you are,” she murmured, then turned her attention back to the screen.

His defenses rose. “It’s just money, Emma. It doesn’t define me,” he snapped.

“I didn’t mean to imply it did,” she replied. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t apologize to him, lass,” Reilly said, walking toward them from the front of the plane, a Guinness in his hand. “It’ll just go to his head.”

“Les still won’t let you in the cockpit?” Aidan guessed.

Reilly’s face darkened. “He threatened to call the bobbies when we land if I didn’t return to my seat,” he growled. “As if they could ever stop me.”

Emma watched Reilly silently.

“What?” he asked, shifting under her gaze.

“What kind of things couldn’t they stop you from doing, exactly?”

He settled into his seat. “Nothing for you to worry about.”

She stared at him so silently for so long, even Aidan felt the need to squirm.

“Emma, ignore him. He’s put out about not piloting, is all.” Aidan folded his arms.

“Where are we staying?”

“Reilly’s, to start. Then I plan to head home.”

“Where will I go?”

“With me.”

She had the grace to flush. “I’ve been thinking about it, and I think it’s best if we keep things…professional between us.”

“Smart,” Reilly agreed.

“No one asked for your opinion,” Aidan said, resisting the urge to open the emergency exit and toss Reilly into the water below. He concentrated on Emma. “I had an alternate impression earlier today.”

She threw him a glare that would freeze the depths of hell. “I’m aware. And I’ve had plenty of time to think about it. I won’t make that mistake again.”

Reilly whistled. “Ouch.”

Aidan’s eyes narrowed to slits. “O’Malley, tell Les that if he doesn’t let you in that cockpit, this will be his last flight on my jet.”

“Woohoo!” Reilly exclaimed, all five-year-old boy as he leaped out of his seat and charged back to the cockpit door.

“Cian, remove yourself to the washroom,” Aidan commanded. Cian, who had been sitting near the bathroom, looking miserable with a bag clutched tightly in his hand, immediately unfastened his seatbelt and closed the small door behind him. Amanda discreetly closed the door to the back cabin.

“Care to explain what mistake you’re referring to?” Aidan asked, his voice deadly calm.

She crossed her legs. “You don’t scare me, MacWilliam. Everyone else might jump as high as you demand, but I won’t.
