“WHERE ARE YOU taking me?” she asked. Her hand was on his chest and he couldn’t stop staring at her fingers as they played with the buttons of his coat.
“It’s a surprise,” he replied with a smile as he forced his eyes from her fingers to her flickering eyelashes.
“A good surprise?” she asked excitedly, bouncing in her seat.
He laughed. He loved to see her so happy. “I would hope so.” He nodded, gazing into her eyes.
Madi sighed before she glanced out the window. “We’re going into the city?” she asked.
“It would appear we are.”
“Come on, Jake! Give me a hint.”
He smirked as he pressed his finger to his lips. “A hint, she says.”
Madi nodded, biting her lip as she watched him thinking.
“There could, very possibly, be a bed there.”
She playfully tugged at his coat. “That’s not a hint. That’s a given.”
“Is it?” he asked, raising his eyebrows. His hand trailed the length of her bent leg from her boot to her thigh as it rested on top of his.
Madi moaned lightly and his eyes sparkled in reflection of her excitement.
“Do I really have you all to myself for the next three days?” she asked.
“I’m at your disposal,” he replied.
“I hope I can find a way to keep you entertained,” she said, narrowing her eyes in thought.
He smiled as he licked his lips. “I don’t think you’ll have anything to worry about.”
She lifted her hand to his face and gently skimmed her fingers across his stubble.
“Should I shave it off?” he asked.
“No,” she quickly responded. “I like it. It’s you. I’ve only ever seen you without it once or twice. It suits you.”
“It doesn’t scratch your face?”
“It’s not scratchy,” she replied. “It’s soft. Like your lips.”
“Hmm,” he responded. “You like my lips?”
“Um hmm.” She nodded. It was all she could do.
“What else do you like?” he asked as he pulled her leg back up his and held it there, pressing his fingers into her thigh.
“What else?” she asked. “About you?”
He smiled. “Who else?”
“Let’s see. Things I like about Jake Morgan…” He watched as she pressed her finger to her lips before laying her head on his chest, turning her face into him. “There’s the way you smell.”
“Hmm. Yeah, I seem to remember that having an effect on you.”
“Italwaysaffects me. You smell yummy.”
