“He let you fly it?”

“And boy, did I. It’s as fast and nimble as a waterfront whore.”

“Isn’t it dangerous?”

“I don’t think about that. Only about how much fun it is.” He winked mischievously. “I’ve got two favorite pastimes. Both are a lot of fun, and both start with the letter ef.”

Catching his meaning, she smiled. “But only one is dangerous.”

“Depends on who you’re doing it with.”

“Why do you love it so much?”

“What’s not to love? Being naked, skin to skin, feels good. You can’t beat the view or the playthings.” He touched the tip of her breast and smiled when it hardened against his fingertip. “Especially your playthings.” He smoothed his hands down over her bottom and secured her more firmly against him. “But the best part is feeling you come.”

Heat filled her cheeks. “I meant flying.”

“Ohhhh, why do I love flying.”

They shared a laugh, then he hugged her to him tightly. “I acted like a jerk when I got home, but I was actually glad to see you here.”

“I was nervous.”

“You thought I’d turn you down and kick you out?”

“I thought you might.”

“Not a chance.”

He slid his hands over her bottom all the way down to her thighs. He spread them apart until she was straddling him, then lifted her so he could push inside.

He was full and hard, but mostly he was Dent, and she pressed down on him with a satisfied sigh. Leaning forward, she kissed his mouth, long and slow, then squirmed down and touched the tip of her tongue to his nipple. He made a low, sexy sound and asked her to repeat that.

His arousal aroused her, but when she began to rock against him, he placed his hands on her shoulders and pushed her up to a sitting position. “I want to watch.”

“What?”

He splayed his hand over her lower belly. “Lean back. Farther. Put your hands on my thighs.”

She hesitated, then did as he instructed, making herself vulnerable to his hot gaze and to his thumb, which he slid down between their bodies. He watched the lips of her sex close around it, then looked into her eyes as he began to stroke her with a circular motion that caused her body to quicken and involuntarily thrust against his thumb. Tilting her face toward the ceiling, she closed her eyes and lost herself to the sensations.

Without inhibition, she gave over to her impulses, moved as her body was dictating, and allowed herself to be governed strictly by her senses. She heard Dent’s hiss of pleasure, felt the fervent, wet tug of his mouth on her nipple, the flicking of his tongue in concert with his thumb’s caresses.

She arched her back and cried out his name.

At some point during the wee hours, they grew tired enough to spoon. “You never did tell me,” she said drowsily.

“Tell you what?”

“Why you love flying so much. You told me that you fell in love with it the first time Gall took you up. He told me you were enraptured.”

“Gall said that?”

She laughed softly and turned to face him. “I supplied the word, but that’s how he described you.” She placed her arm around his waist and rested her cheek against the fuzziness on his chest. “Describe to me how you felt that day.”

While collecting his thoughts, his fingers sifted through her hair. “For as far back as I could remember, I’d been trying to figure out why my dad didn’t like me and what I could do to win him over. That day, when Gall took me up, it was like… like I left all that on the ground.

“During that five-minute flight, it stopped mattering to me whether my dad liked me or not. His indifference couldn’t reach me in the sky. I knew I’d found something more important to my life than he would ever be because I loved it more. I’d found a new home.”
