“You could take a private plane,” Logan said. Kendall almost swallowed his tongue. Was he about to admit they had a private plane ten miles away? Very unlike him. But then again, he’d already told her he loved her.
She laughed. “Unfortunately, I don’t happen to have one.”
“I do. You can use it.”
“What? You have a private plane?” She seemed so surprised.
“What’s wrong with that?”
She shrugged and a grin formed. “Nothing. I just didn’t take you for a rich, playboy, ‘I have my own private plane’ kind of guy.”
Logan laughed. “Would it make you feel better to learn that I sort of inherited it?”
“Yes. Absolutely.” She kissed him hard on the mouth.
Kendall took her in his arms next. He kissed her gently and asked, “Will you allow us to accompany you?”
“You want to go with me?” She blinked a couple times as if trying to compute his angle at wanting to join her on the quest. “You don’t have to.”
“I know, but I really want to go.”
“Why?”
“Because I love you, too. And I’m not ready to lose you again.” Kendall hadn’t exactly meant to declare his love for her, but didn’t regret it once the words left his mouth.
“Really?” Her gaze searched his as if to ensure he knew what he’d just said. “You love me?”
“I do.”
“That’s great, because I love you both very much. I wish I had time to delve into this, but I feel like right now is too rushed for the time it deserves.”
“Understandable. We can address it later. But we will have a serious talk very soon.”
“All right.” She didn’t seem panicked about a conversation of permanence, just looked like she was in a hurry to find her sister. Also understandable.
Logan added. “Besides, you don’t think I loan my private plane to just anyone, do you?”
She stared at them for a few seconds and then smiled. “Okay. You can both come with me. But this is my responsibility. You understand that? No interfering, right?”
“Of course. We’re just along for the ride. So we can keep you close. And force you to talk to us.”
“Good. Not to be pushy, but when can we leave?”
Logan reached for his phone. “Should be able to take off once the pilot is awake and the plane is fueled. Say a couple of hours.”
“Perfect. And do you happen to know the flight time to Las Vegas?”
He grinned. “Actually, I do. It’s less than two hours.”
“Excellent.”
Kendall nodded to Logan. “You go call your pilot, I’ll get things set up here so we can be gone for a few days.” He hugged Jocelyn close. “You can take a shower, if you’d like.”
“Thanks.”
“And if you need any help, I’m happy to scrub your back or whatever part you’ll let me touch.”
Kendall pointed her in the direction of the bathroom and went to make the appropriate calls so they could be gone for several days.
Logan caught up with him downstairs. “Her father is some piece of work.”
“Oh? What did he say?”
Logan gave him a blow-by-blow of the one-sided conversation. “And he spouted all of this thinking Jocelyn was at the end of the line. That’s what chaps me even more. No one deserves to be lectured like that.”
“Is that why you told her you love her?”
“No. I told her that because I do love her. I’d like to find a way for her to be a permanent fixture in our lives. Unless you are opposed.”
“No. I find that my feelings are very in line with yours, surprisingly enough.”
“Good because, we’re headed to Vegas. Never know what might happen.”
Kendall laughed, but Logan smiled as if something profound had changed him. Jocelyn changed his attitude on permanence and love. Kendall felt a rush of excitement barrel through his body at the idea of a future with her.
Less than two hours later they’d boarded Logan’s rarely used private jet and headed south. They flew into McCarran Airport after an uneventful flight.
As they were standing at the rental car place, Kendall’s phone rang.
