“But that goes really fast and the cages spin, so if the cage came loose, it would fly and explode so fast, you wouldn’t feel it. This would give you time to think.”
Luke took her hand and squeezed. “I’ll be with you.”
“Unless you’re Superman, that isn’t comforting.” She didn’t shake off his hand hold though.
Luke chuckled as Brent and Kendall, who were in line in front of them, stepped onto the platform. They climbed into their bucket, and Kendall waved as the lap bar came down. The wheel started spinning, taking them back, and stopped again with an empty car for Luke and Marley. Luke helped Marley in, noticing the way she trembled against his side and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as the carnival worker secured their lap bar.
The ride jerked into action and as it climbed, he saw that Marley’s eyes were closed. He leaned over to whisper, “You’re missing the view.”
Marley opened one eye and then the other. He felt her relax against him as she gazed out over the fair. “It’s beautiful.”
Luke stared at her, wanting to tell her she was the beautiful one, but he held back. The ride came to a stop when they were almost to the top. Marley sucked in her breath.
He squeezed her to him. “It’s okay.”
“I just hate when it stops. I want it to keep going.”
Luke tried not to laugh as she buried her face into his shoulder. “They have to let people on and off. Try to think about something else.”
“Like what?” she mumbled.
“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens?”
“I hate that song.”
His eyebrows shot up. “No one hates that song. It’s a classic.”
“How do you even know that song?”
“My mom loved that movie. Made me watch it wit
h her every Christmas.”
She lifted her head, her lips twisted. “Ugh, I hate it and no offense to your mom, but it is not a Christmas movie.”
Luke blinked at her. “Who are you?”
“What? It’s not.” It started moving again and Marley breathed out hard. Then it lurched to a stop, and she shrieked.
“You okay?” Luke asked.
Marley gripped the bar, her face stricken. “No, why did you convince me to get on this thing?”
He told himself it wasn’t funny, but his mouth twitched regardless. “I didn’t know you were that scared.”
“Well, I am, so shows how much you know!”
“What can I do? I can tell a joke or—”
Luke almost fell back as her lips collided with his. Marley was kissing him. Maybe it was just her panic, but she’d made the move.
Before she changed her mind, Luke cradled the back of her head and kissed her back, his tongue slipping in between her lips to play with her tongue.
He sensed the moment when she started to melt into his kiss and one of his hand glided down, over the smooth skin of her neck. As it molded over her breast, she gasped against his mouth, and he pressed his thumb into her, feeling the hard pebble of her nipple against his hand.
It was probably a bad idea to feel her up in public, but his cock didn’t agree. Especially when the couple behind them could probably see them kissing, and he knew Marley wanted to keep everything on the down low.
When the ride lurched into motion again, Marley pulled away, her chest rising and falling rapidly, pressing her breast firmly into his hand.
