“First class?” I asked as we took our seats in the front row of the airplane.

“It’s not hard to do when the plane is this small,” Paxton answered, buckling his seat belt as I did the same.

The plane was tiny, with only about sixteen of us on board. “It’s cozy.”

“It’s a sardine can with propellers,” he muttered, looking past me at the window.

“You don’t like flying,” I said, a smile tugging at my lips.

“Not too fond of it,” he answered, cracking his neck. The lines of his tattoos flexed with the movement.

The middle-aged man across the aisle noticed, too, frowning his disapproval.

“How can you, of all people, not like flying?”

“It’s a control thing. I like having it.”

“I noticed,” I said as the flight attendant raised the door and sealed it for takeoff.

He rolled his eyes but didn’t take the bait. Instead, he let out a huge, jaw-cracking yawn. We’d slept in this morning and barely made the flight, but hey, it wasn’t like we could lose luggage we didn’t have. I fingered the beautiful white skinny jeans that must have set him back a fortune to have delivered, especially with the blue silk top I’d found when we woke up this morning. He’d shrugged and said it was only money, but to me it was so much more.

It was the thought he’d put into it, the fact that he’d cared enough to get the right sizes, that he’d bought me pants instead of shorts or a skirt.

What I wouldn’t give for a short, flirty skirt. Something that swirled a little when I turned, that left my legs bare to the sun.

But bare to his eyes, too.

“What are you thinking about?” he asked as we rolled toward the runway, another yawn distorting his last word.

“That you look awfully tired this morning.”

“That’s because you kept me up all night with your demands,” he answered, closing his eyes and leaning back in his seat.

The gentleman across the aisle sputtered in his coffee.

“I most certainly did not,” I fired back in a stage whisper.

He cracked one eyelid as we barreled down the runway. “I’m sorry, was that not you under me last night? Asking me to put my hands on you, begging me to let you come?”

Now the guy was actually coughing, his wife slapping him on the back.

I glared at Paxton. “Seriously?” Not only was it hugely embarrassing to hear him say that, but I wasn’t comfortable with the way it immediately flipped my sex switch to “go for launch.”

He gave me a hot-as-hell grin as his hand worked its way up my thigh. I promptly returned it to his own lap. “Relax,” he whispered in my ear. “We’ll never see these people again.”

“I’m never going to see you again,” I muttered, flipping open the emergency procedures booklet. What I wouldn’t have given for my Kindle.

Paxton’s grip tightened on the armrest between us. I’d never imagined that he wouldn’t like something as simple as flying, but it was oddly endearing to see one tiny flaw in his impenetrable armor.
