“No, I’m not,” I honestly shared, which had Maria shooting me a death stare. “But she’s a pain in the ass, so I guess she’s coming whether I want her to or not.” And I wanted to spank that woman’s ass for this, too.
“If anything happens to her,” was all Ryan said, and it was all he needed to say. There’d be hell to pay across the board if so much as a hair was touched on her head.
“I don’t think you should go, but I know I can’t stop you.” Natalia pulled Maria in for a hug, careful not to smash her pregnant belly, and then Ryan hugged her next. “A quick word alone, please?” Natalia tugged my arm.
“I’d expect nothing less,” I said as I followed her away from the others.
“She’s persuasive.” Natalia cut to the point. “But you’re not one to roll over for anyone. And all I know is that when I came over this morning, my sister was wearing only your T-shirt. Did you two sleep together last night?”
Shit. “No, we didn’t have sex.” I held my forehead for a moment, unprepared for that question. “You should talk to Maria about this stuff, though.”
“Just keep her safe, okay?”
“That’s a given.” I smoothed my palm along my jawline.
“And don’t break her heart.” She gave me her signature stern look. “Promise?”
I swallowed, tense at the idea of ever hurting Maria in any way. Not knowing what to say, I kept my mouth shut, and I did my best to nod. Natalia gave me a quick hug, and we made our way back over to the group. We then said our goodbyes and boarded the jet.
The two bodyguards, who didn’t look all too impressive, were strapped in near the cockpit, leaving a few rows of space between where Maria and I sat. Thankfully, the jet didn’t have a bedroom on board. If it did, I’d probably drag Maria in there and spend the flight distracting myself between her thighs, torturing her with my tongue ...
Fuck, now I wanted to add “join the mile-high club” to that list of hers.
She buckled in across from me in the leather bucket seat and said, “The last time I was on a plane was six years ago heading home from New York. I guess I need to travel more.”
And damn, I hoped one day I’d be able to take her all over the world. Show her every place she’d only read about in books to experience for herself.
“Everything will be okay,” I said once we took off, my attention trailing along her outfit. She had on black jeans with a fitted thin red turtleneck.
She fidgeted with the neck of her top, pulling at it just enough that I could spot a bruise there.
Did I do that? Hell, I probably would’ve marked more of her body in my bedroom earlier had Natalia and Ryan not been in the living room.
Maria nervously combed her fingers through her thick, curly dark hair. Knowing we were having dinner with my parents later, she’d demanded the chance to shower and freshen up before we left for the airport.
Gripping the chair arms, she locked her eyes with mine, and her tongue swept along the line of her lips.
“If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll need to throw those two men from the plane,” I said. We’d only just taken off, maybe they’d survive the fall?
“Really? Why?”
Because I wanted to sink my teeth into her skin. Mark her again, which was a special kind of fucked up, and I didn’t care. Her knees pinned together as her other hand clutched her leg, and I couldn’t help but bite my lower lip. Oh, my girl knew why.
I leaned in closer, cocking an eyebrow. “Can’t have other men looking at you while you come, now can I?”
She swallowed back a small moan, and damn if I didn’t wish it was my mouth hiding the sound instead. I was trying to behave, since we weren’t alone, and trying to not totally become the man I was before Charlotte. Because that man would’ve taken her how he wanted on the jet regardless of the eyes on us.
That man would’ve spread her out on the couch off to our left, fallen to his knees, and tossed her legs over his shoulders while sinking his mouth over her pussy.
But this was Maria, and like hell would I let any other man see her naked or hear her soft moans of pleasure while she came.
“I’m not kidding, sweetheart,” I murmured in a low voice, my patience gone at this point. My control had snapped in half as of this morning.
The only question now was when I’d be taking her and where.
“Do not look at me like that. You need to stop tempting me. Because I want to punish you for doing this to me. For making me bring you along for this fucked-up ride that you should be as far away from as possible,” I warned once we were at cruising altitude, but for whatever reason, I only seemed to provoke desire from her. Not fear.
She wet her lips as her dainty hand circled her throat. “Far away from the danger? Or away from you?”
