I kiss her shoulder as I hold her against me. I kiss the top of her head.
“I haven’t been held like this… ever.”
“If you like to be held, I’ll remember that.”
“I do.”
My cock’s so hard it’s painful. I’d give anything to slide myself in her. I know she’d let me. She damn near promised she would.
But I don’t want to take advantage. I need her to trust me. I don’t want her to think I’m using her even though I’ve bought her for the weekend.
“Alright, mister hottie. Your turn.”
I shake my head. “Not now.”
I don’t expect her to look dejected. Her face falls. “What?”
“Not now.”
“But I… Well. Okay then. I can make you a very happy man, you know.”
Oh, she will. What she doesn’t yet understand is that I didn’t just hire her like she thinks I did.
She’ll play the part of slave in The Underground.
I’m paying her so she can leave La Maison.
I made her climax because she belongs to me. She’s mine.
This has nothing to do with money.
“I have no doubt. And I didn’t say no, I said not now. Are you talking back to me again?”
A slow blink as she looks at me. Lowered lashes and the sultry voice I crave. “What happens if I disobey?”
I pinch her ass. “Why don’t you try and see?”
The plane lurches. She falls heavily against my chest just as the front of the plane points downward and descends so rapidly, my stomach plummets before the plane rights again.
“Oh God! What’s happening?”
“I don’t know, but I hire only the best pilots. Trust that we’re okay.”
Still, I slide her off my lap to secure her in a seat belt after she pulls her top on.
I hit a button beside my armrest. “What’s going on?”
“Thought it was turbulence, sir, but it appears one of our engine’s failing. We’ll need to make an emergency landing.”
Jesus.
Nicolette sits still as a statue beside me. I reach for her hand. She grips me tightly, as if holding onto me will keep the plane steady.
“Don’t be afraid,” I say softly. I’ve learned in stressful situations how important it is to stay calm. I rarely raise my voice and rarely lose my temper. It helps in situations like this.
“We’re just going to make a landing. The location is actually ideal for us, because we aren’t over any water yet. There are numerous locations where we might be able to land safely.”
“If you say so,” she whispers.
