“I’ve heard it’s hazardous to a man’s health to stay in that state for too long. Want me to helprelieveyou?” I say, a coy smile curving my lips as I stare deep into his hooded gaze.

He growls in my ear, the sound making me buzz with need more than any dirty martini ever could. “Your mouth is making promises that my body wants to cash, Alyssa, preferably with you on your knees naked and begging.” Even from ten feet away I can see his eyes fixate on my mouth, his look turning dark as my tongue darts out to run along my bottom lip. “And now I’m imagining your legs on my shoulders and my cock buried so deep inside, neither one of us would know which way was up.”

“You’re very forward,” I say breathlessly.

“And you’re irresistible and loving it.”

I take a moment to steady my breath. “How do I know it’s notyoumaking empty promises, Mr. Matthews.”

“Kitten, I never say anything I don’t mean and I never promise anything I’m not willing to deliver on. It’s now up to you to decide how you’re going to let me prove that I’m a man of my dirty words.”

My eyes drift to the TV screen again, a sigh escaping me when I see there are only thirty minutes of flight time left.Not enough to take him up on his offer.

“Seems today is not our day. Definitely not on this flight, anyway," I say with a pout, loving the flash of hunger in his eyes as I bite my lip.

“There’s still tonight. Besides, we’re flying to the city of sin, presenting us with a hell of a lot more options to consider.”

Color me intrigued, this man has me hooked. “Such as . . .”

“I’d like to propose a game.”

“A game?” I ask. I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge, and something tells me that any proposal this man might make would be worth my while.

“That’s all you’re going to get for now, kitten. No game is fun if it’s too easy.”

“Soyousay,” I grumble, earning myself another one of his panty-melting chuckles.

“If you want to know more, you’ll find me when we land and give me the chance to prove I’m a man of my word. I don’t intend to follow through on.Especiallywhen it comes to a woman like you.”

“I bet you say that to all the girls,” I retort.

“Maybe in the past, but not today. No one has garnered my attention, nor made a tedious flight this entertaining for a long time. You’ve distracted me from my work, Ms. Jacobs.”

“Well, I’d hate to have it on my conscience that I was the cause of you getting in trouble. Especially trouble of your own making.”

“Isn’t that the best kind?”

“Hmm. But maybe I should just leave you hanging, so you can think about all the things I’d let you do to me if Iwasto find you after the flight.”

“Alyssa, I—”

“Until then, goodbye Mr. Matthews.”

I don't hear anything else because I end the call with a knowing smile on my face, fighting every urge in my body to not look his way and meet his burning gaze.

But I don’t lift my eyes his way again. Instead, I lean back in my seat, looking over toward the window, trying to cool my jets. A seemingly impossible task when my mind is racing and my body thrumming with carnal need, his erotic promises running through my head like a porn movie on repeat—one with high definition and graphic detail.

As a single, free-spirited woman, nothing is stopping me from taking Mr. Matthews up on his offer. All I would have to do is track him down when we arrive and let him follow through on his promise to prove he’s not all talk, no action.

Nothing more noteworthy happens during the rest of the flight. There are no more drink deliveries or phone calls, and the one time I do allow myself to look toward his seat, I find myself disappointed when I don’t catch him staring back at me. Instead, he’s busy typing away at his laptop, as if his offer isn’t consuming his every thought like it is mine.

My entire body remains ablaze with lust from just those few words we’d shared. He’s a stranger but in my head, I’ve already imagined him stripping me naked and doing downright all the dirty and delicious things he’d promised.

The choice is inevitable. The decision all but made for me. I’m in Vegas for the weekend, the perfect place to hook up with a handsome stranger with a dirty mouth I’d like to keep busy.

Now all I have to do is work out how to find him when we land—or maybe I should turn the tables and wait for him to find me.
