“I can explain,” I say, hoping not to.
“What the hell are you doing on this flight?” Harry asks as I turn and watch him zip up his trousers.
“Oh, I’m not kidnapping you. I’m just stowing away.”
Harry zips up, and his eyes bore down on me. He points at the co-pilot’s chair angrily. “Sit!”
I do, like a bad girl. As he does up his shirt, I know I’m in trouble by the way he eyes me.
“That shirt is my favorite,” I say.
“Ha,” he snarls, confused, pissed, and not buying it.
“Anyway, why were you naked?”
“Because it’s my fucking plane is why.”
Harry finally does up his shirt and he tucks it in. My eyes take him in, and he holds the wicked scowl.
As he pulls on shoes, as if readying for a meeting, he checks the autopilot and then his watch. “Now we need to get you a parachute.”
“The hell we do!”
We share a look, and Harry shakes his head. “Just go make yourself useful.”
I race off, and down the back of the jet, I find a small kitchen section. I do my best with coffee and snacks, then I return with the weird food I carefully foraged.
I walk back in with a tray, lifting my chin to deflect his toxic vibes.
Grumpy takes a coffee. He is seated now, and autopilot is off.
He looks confident as he flies, and it is kind of hot. He does, however, raise a brow at my weird snacks. “What the fuck is that?”
“A giraffe.”
“I know what it is.”
I look down at the animal crackers I laid out in a nice shape.
“Hang on, I brought private snacks,” I say, racing off. Three minutes later, I bring in fancy cheese, crackers, olives and the likes.
“Better,” Grumpy says, helping himself.
I nod, my mouth full with an olive. “I know, right?”
“You’re a bad thief. I know what William buys.”
I wipe my mouth and gulp. “That’s a bit rich, coming from panty stealer.”
“Panty thief,” he says correcting me.
“Stealer,” I say, my chin high and now enjoying the view. “Look, I have a thing in LA,” I say.
“Funny that, I do too,” Grumpy says.
I slowly curl up in the co-pilot’s seat, putting my legs under me. “I didn’t know you could fly.”
“I didn’t know you could stowaway.”
