He nods absently, his eyes on my thighs. I spread them a little wider, and he squirms in his seat.

“Alright, I’ll make the reservations,” I say.

“Hm,” he replies, and I lean into him a little.

“A train ride, a cave tour, and a tantric massage.”

“Yes,” he replies, and I nudge him with a soft laugh.

“So, the itinerary sounds good?”

“Yes.” His eyes snap up, and he grimaces. “Oh hell. What did I just agree to?”

“Everything, Doc. We’re getting married, having babies,” I joke.

When he stutters and almost chokes, I chuckle. “Nah, just kidding. Just the itinerary for Colorado. I have it all planned out,” I repeat. “I’ll email you everything.”

“And do your accommodations factor into it? Where will you stay?”

I shrug, hoping he lets me in. Lets me stay. “With you?”

He huffs and looks away. “Fine.”

“Knew you’d let me. That was a huff of excitement.”

“It was not.”

I throw my legs over his and lean back, finishing my sandwich and taking a long sip of my Coke.

He grumbles but still rests his hand on my thigh while he finishes his food. When I offer him a sip of my drink, he takes it reluctantly. He pretends to hate it, but I see the way his eyelids flutter.

He loves the damn sweets but won’t let himself enjoy them.

I grin on the inside.

I’m going to love watching him enjoy the little things, and I’m sure as fuck going to enjoy him enjoying me.

CHAPTERSEVEN

ELLIOT

“Hi there. You think we could upgrade to first class?” Luke asks the woman behind the counter who looks flustered by his attention. I don’t blame her.

He’s been flustering me too.

For the past week, he’s been everywhere––in my personal space, in my bed, and always in my thoughts.

I can’t seem to exorcise him. There has to be holy water for this kind of thing. Maybe I should see a priest.

I’m worried where this will lead and how hurt I will be at the end of it all.

“I’m so sorry, but we don’t have anything available,” the woman says as she smiles coyly. She fluffs her hair, but it’s un-fluffable. There’s too much hairspray in those strands to move them. I can smell her from here.

Not a chance, lady.

I eye Luke and realize just how damn hot he really is. I can see what she sees––his dirty blond curls peeking out from under a grey beanie, his thick thighs stretching out his worn jeans and his fitted T-shirt which shows off all his muscles. He’s delicious. Tack on his charming smile and his confident, out-going personality and he’s like a fantasy come to life.

I pat my hair and then quickly shove my hand in my pocket.
