Pausing, we enjoyed a delicious lunch prepared by their chef in the aircraft’s small kitchen and then resumed our watching.
I had to admit that it was kind of cool to be able to learn at such a fast pace, as I had from the books after I first awoke. It was almost like my mind was ravenous for knowledge, and I couldn’t hold back. Not that I tried.
I wanted to know far more about this world I was kept from for so long. A world I was always meant to live in and protect. A world I belonged to, and I wanted to learn everything.
After Hannes’s nieces snoozed off duringLegally Blonde, he carried them—still as the Beast—to one of the suites in the back to rest.
Before I knew it, I was sitting on Dante’s lap and passing out against his chest.
At least now I knew that Germany was our next stop; I just needed to find out what the hell awaited me there.
No offense to Dante’s sexy chest, but the second consciousness returned to me I knew my cheek was no longer resting on him. Nor André.
This chest was different—firmer, stronger, hotter, with extra room for me to spread myself all over it to my heart’s content.
No offense indeed, this chest was massive, and that sexy scent of Fresh cut cedar, cinnamon, and mint exuding from his pores made him extra yummy.
“Mine…”
“Yeah, yeah… You and Hannes are wolf mates, I know.”
As the sleep cleared from my head, I realized that not only was I no longer on Dante’s lap, but I wasn’t on the chair either. Faint voices drifted from the living area on the other side of the door, telling me I was in the private suite of the plane.
My body was perfectly snug between the plush pillowtop of the mattress beneath me and the delicious thickness of Hannes’s warm body.
He was all man right now, his Beast nowhere to be found.
Lazily, His large fingers moved over my back, tracing invisible patterns that caused goosebumps over my skin until my nipples puckered for him.
My hand tingled as it spread over his insanely hard abs, discovering the amazing fact that my palm was directly on his skin right now. He wasn’t wearing a shirt. My nails traced the little squares on their way down his stomach until deep chuckles suddenly made my new pillow quake.
“Is he ticklish?”Star asked, seeming enthralled by the news.
“I guess we will have to find out…”
“Welcome back,Sleeping Beauty.”
“I haven’t watched that one yet,” I admitted in a hoarse voice, a yawn escaping me.
It had been on the list for the girls and me to watch together, but they fell asleep before we could get to it. It still impressed me that they could keep up with watching the movies on fast-forward with me. Everyone else was annoyed by it, but they enjoyed it as though it was the normal speed.
Opening one eye, I lifted my head to find Hannes looking down at me with an expression I couldn’t quite identify.
“Do you make it a habit to kidnap sleeping women and then lay them over your shirtless body like you are the Goddess’s gift to them?”
His lips twitched but before his swooning smile could take over, he bit his lower lip instead, slowly shaking his head.
“Aww, I wanted him to smile. It makes me horny.”
“Yeah, that’s the problem with his brilliant smiles. They make you swoon. It’s like an instant panty-melter.”
Suddenly, the amusement disappeared from Hannes’s gaze, and he took a settling breath. “I’m sorry, Natalia.”
“Good Goddess, it’s not that serious. You just moved me from the chair to the suite. Plus, you are Star’s mate, I’m not holding this against you.”
A brief chuckle left him before he slowly shook his head again. “Not for that.” His arm tightened around my waist, and he pulled me fully on top of him until we were face to face. “The last thing I want is for you to feel like I’m manipulating you.”
Oh, that…
