I threw up my hands and started walking for a line of trees in the distance. “I didn’t come all this way to stand around. Now follow me or stay behind. Your choice.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Josh’s footsteps crunched along the broken rock under our feet until he caught up with me.

We followed a ridgeline where a distinct two-tone in the landscape displayed when rock met vegetation. It was a bit before Josh talked again. “You must think I’m silly.”

“What, not at all.” I laughed. “I’m guessing this is your first visit to the mountains?”

“No.” He shook his head. “I’ve been here a lot for business. But this is my first time in the wild. I guess I’m just a city boy at heart.”

“There’s nothing wrong with that,” I said, stopping where the rock line took a sharp turn, sloping down to the edge of a cliff. “Look at all of this.” I spread out my arms. “You can’t get this in the city.”

“You sure can’t,” he said. But I could see that Josh wasn’t looking around at the vast open skies that surrounded us. He was staring at me. And it was making me nervous.

I slowly turned my head toward him, tilting it slightly as my gaze met his. “What are you doing?” I asked, unable to stop a smile from crossing my lips.

“Admiring the scenery,” he said. “Isn’t that why you brought me here?”

I nudged him with my elbow. “The scenery is out there.” I motioned back to the mountains.

“I’ve never met anyone quite like you.” Josh licked his lower lip before continuing, sending a warm shock between my legs. “You say it like it is,” he continued. “I’m used to girls—well everyone—just doing what I say, or waiting for me to tell them what to do.”

My voice came out sharper than I expected. “I guess that comes with running a million dollar company.”

He paused, biting his lip before continuing. “I shouldn’t have told you.” He stepped back shaking his head, and I immediately regretted my sarcasm. “It doesn’t define me, you know.”

“You know what, I’m sorry,” I quickly backpedaled. “I just mean, who cares if everyone does what you want.”

“It’s boring,” he said, repeating my words from earlier. I raised an eyebrow, smiling at the memory of our first meeting. Taking it as an invite, he stepped closer—so close that another inch would press his hard chest against mine.

Josh and his chest. His naked chest, young and chiseled, just a finger-width away from mine, separated by only a few layers of clothing. I could hear my heartbeat in my ears incessantly pounding as my chest rose with each breath, bringing me closer and closer to him.

I nodded in agreement, my voice coming out as nothing more than a whisper. “Boring sucks.”

“It sure does.” He lifted his hand to my face, tucking a stray strand behind my ear. The sensation of his finger running along my cheek, made my skin tingle. I closed my eyes, taking it all in. His touch. His smell. His everything.

When I opened my eyes, he was watching me with his mouth partially open, as if he was waiting for my command.

And with three words, there was no turning back.

“Kiss me, dammit.”

Josh leaned forward, grabbing my face between his hands as his mouth met mine. I stumbled a moment before our bodies crashed together, hands everywhere searching for somewhere to hang on. And as I drew his tongue into my mouth with sweeping strokes a groan escaped from deep within his chest.

“Come,” he said, pulling his lips away from mine. The whisper of his breath lingered at the edge of my mouth. I let Josh pull me from the edge of the mountain, back to the helicopter where he barked an order to the pilot before ushering me into the back.

I fell against the plush leather, as Josh climbed in on top of me. Pausing between my legs, he reached forward, unzipping my jacket and revealing my low cut work tank top, which left nothing to the imagination. I quickly stripped off the fabric, tossing it to the floor as Josh did the same.

The beat of the chopper blades drowned out my moans as Josh leaned forward, cupping my breast in his warm palms as he nipped my pale flesh with his teeth. Reaching above me, I braced myself into the nook of the seat, letting my head tilt back as Josh’s other hand moved to the waist of my pants.

“I’ve got a surprise for you,” he said, removing his mouth from my nipple. “It’s a new product. Let’s see what you think.”

A soft whirring pressed against my belly as Josh undid my pants. “What are you doing?” I asked, tilting my head up in curiosity. A small violet slip was covering Josh’s finger. My gaze snapped to his, but there was nothing sarcastic in his eyes any longer. His were glazed with lust, and his smile soft as he slid his hand in the front of my pants.

At first, I didn’t realize what was happening. The vibrations slow and steady as Josh’s hand slipped over the cleft between my legs. But as his fingers worked their way between my moist fold, I could feel the one with the violet sleeve pressing against my bud. And the more it vibrated, the more I wanted.

“Oh, Josh,” I said, as my hips bucked in response. I grabbed the edge of the seat, trying to hold myself in place. I didn’t want to lose control, here in the sky in this confined space. Or did I?
