Carter turned his head, glancing back at me from the cockpit of the cramped float plane. His face was covered in an enthusiastic grin. “Mommy, the pilot says you need to buckle your seatbelt.”

“Ok,” I replied through a return grin and clicked my belt as I’d been ordered. The little imp had been invited up front and was riding in the copilot seat. The power had gone directly to his head and he’d been barking out orders to the other passengers for the past ten minutes straight.

Carter turned around as the engine whine started to increase in volume and the plane taxied out into the middle of the Burrard Inlet, picking up its speed. Within moments we lifted into the air and passed right over Canada Place, the waterfront building topped with the iconic sails that were two hundred and sixty-seven feet tall.

I felt Justin’s hand touch mine and turned from the window to take in the handsome man sitting beside me. His emerald eyes sparkled almost as bright as Carter’s, and I wanted to run my fingers through the silky auburn strands that were so attractively tousled from the wind we’d encountered earlier out on the dock. I still couldn’t believe this was happening. That he wanted to take us out to meet his family.

His thigh pressed into mine. His long legs practically folded up to his chin in the small bench seat. “Thanks for agreeing to come.” His lips curled into a slightly dimpled barely there version of a smile.

Yeah, it was another good one.

He threaded his fingers together with mine, my stomach flip flopping from the potency of the one two combo of smile and skin to skin contact. “Carter seems to be having a good time.”

I laughed. “You think?”

He suddenly went very still, his gaze fixating on my lips for a beat before he leaned in toward me so that only I could hear him. “Yeah, and I think you’re enjoying yourself, too.” His voice was husky and low and I felt the warmth from his breath fan against the skin just beneath my ear. A shiver rolled through me. “I love your laugh. It does things to me.” His eyes came back to mine, their depths bathed in a serious sheen. “I wish I could make you laugh every day, babe. I wish I had the power to undo the past so I could take away every single sorrow, and I wish that I could manage the future to prevent anything from ever hurting you again.”

Damn.

There he went again, the poet rising and weaving beautiful words to lull me further and further under his hypnotic spell. Before I had time to form a reply, his mouth came down and covered mine, his lips warm and smooth, the kiss just a touch but sweet enough to infuse my bloodstream with a sugary high.
