“Worth waking up early and battling snakes for?” he whispered.
“It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.”
“I couldn’t agree more.” He was staring at me.
“You’re so cheesy, Mr. Darcy.”
“I’ll stop when you stop smiling like that.” He took my hand, led me to the balloon, and lifted me into the basket.
I tried to pull my hands away from him. I couldn’t think like me when he kept touching me as gently as this. But he didn’t let go, and when the balloon started to rise, I didn’t fight him anymore because I was busy trying not to think about the fact that we were going hundreds of feet off the ground.
“This is safe, right?” I said softly, my heart pounding faster.
“I wouldn’t bring you here if it wasn’t safe.”
Biting my lip, I nodded and watched the green patch of grass below get farther and farther away each time the fire whooshed into the balloon. I saw deer running through the trees. There was even a bear in another direction. However, they were soon nothing more than tiny specks in a sea of green trees.
“Oh my—” I backed into his arms when a bird flew right past my face.
“You’re scared of birds too?”
“No! I was just surprised.”
“Good. Look forward.”
“So bossy—”
With his hands on my head, he turned me toward the view, and if I thought it was breathtaking from the ground, I had no words for how stunning it was up in the air.
“Oh my gosh!” I yelled, grinning. I spread my arms wide. This was the perfect time to say one of my favorite movie lines. “‘I'm flying, Jack!’”
He put his hands on my waist. “Who’s the cheesy one now?”
I laughed, covering his hands with mine.
This was… this was something I knew I would never be able to forget no matter how long I lived.
Theo
I couldn’t forget the smile on her face, or the way the breeze had whipped her honey-brown hair in every direction. She’d been stunning. Even now, hours later in my bathroom while she stood in my shower, the water falling, dripping over every curve of her body. Her round breasts, pink nipples, her stomach… damn. Her eyes were closed, her head tilted back. She was beautiful. The fact that she was completely unaware of me turned me on even further.
Sliding open the glass door, she quickly turned to face me. “Theo? You—”
I didn’t let her get another word out before my lips were on hers, my tongue in her mouth, pushing her against the tile wall. The heat of the water beating on my back as she moaned in my mouth was tantalizing. Breaking away slowly, she took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling. Lust filled her hazel eyes.
“Turn around and put your hands up,” I told her harshly.
She smiled seductively. “Are you an officer now? Don’t you have to read me my rights?”
I pulled her off the wall and turned her around, placing both hands up beside her. Pressing my cock against her soft ass, I grabbed her breast with one hand and slipped the other between her thighs. She tried to close them, but when I smacked a thigh, she giggled and opened them wider.
“You, Felicity, belong to me,” I whispered in her ear as I slipped my fingers into her throbbing pussy.
“Keep your hands up, Felicity. I’m not done.”
She didn’t listen.
“Now!” I demanded, pinching her nipples tightly.
