She pulled off his glasses and tossed them into a nearby empty seat Then, she leaned in and took Griffin’s lower lip between her teeth, biting it lightly and enjoying the shiver she felt rock through his body "Then I suppose we shouldn’t disappoint hi to hear "There is a rooroaned again "I hope to God that it does"

"Let’s go check it out," she ainst his mouth, and then slid out of his lap She sashayed the few feet to the back of the plane and opened the door, knowing Griffin’s eyes were on her every step of the way

The bedroom at the back of the plane was just as she remembered it There was a full-size bed on the one side and a mirror on the wall behind it On the other side of the small room was a desk with a chair, and a door that led to the bathroom

She headed for the bathroom and heard Griffin shut the door to the room and lock it behind them Inside the bathroo that interested her the most was the box of condoms under the sink It looked like the box she’d purchased in Bellissime, and she turned and held it out to Griffin "You kept these?"

"How could I not? The driver was givingyour heart that I took thehed again "I’lad you feel bad about that, because I felt worse"

He pulled her against hiain and nuzzled her neck "You should know you’re the only one for ht in her throat She wanted to believe his words--oh, she did--but she’d been stomped on and hurt too many times by his careless words to believe him wholeheartedly So for now, she trusted and hoped

Maylee’s fingers stole to Griffin’s hair--soft, shining, and messy "This is a different look for you"

"Kip did not approve," he ainst her neck "But Kip is not the one who likes to run his fingers through h, and scratched at his scalp

He groaned "Dear God, that feels good"

She shushed hi to have to be quieter if you don’t want Kip listening in"

He stiffened, shooting an anxious look back toward the front cabin "I’ht out there--"

She gave him a mock pout, and her hand slid down to the front of his slacks "I grew up in a trailer I think if anyone kno to be quiet whenout, it’sout with--"

"Boys," she said And then she kissed him to shut hi him so much No one kissed quite like Griffin There was an unadulterated hunger to hiswould be ripped away in the next instant and so he had to devour her while he could She loved that singular intensity of him and suspected he’d be like that in bed, too

She couldn’t wait to find out Her hand rubbed at his ck again, feeling the thick length of it under her fingers "Now," shehim when she paused "Did you want to make out back here with your new assistant? Because she’s a pretty delazed with passion "Oh?"

"Very" Stroke "Deain, this time louder, and she kissed his htly controlled man was not quite so controlled in the bedroom

"Want to knohat I demand?" Maylee asked

He nodded, unable to forue" Stroke "All over my body" Stroke "And then I’ll do the same to you" Stroke "How does that sound?"

"Incredible," he breathed, his dazed expression waro check out that bed, shall we?" And she reluctantly slid her hand away from his ck and left the tiny bathroo her back, her arm, as if reluctant to let her leave hi and sweet, all at once She felt a surge of affection for him--this lonely, isolated man who didn’t kno to ask for affection, but basked in her attentions

She’d be careful with his heart Maylee turned around to give Griffin a sweet smile and to tell him how much she cared for him

But hisher close, and she forgot all about being careful with anyone or anything His desire devoured her own, and when the kiss deepened, Maylee’s knees got weak She’d never been quite so affected by a kiss as she had by his Her hands clawed at his clothing, and she felt a sudden desperate need to feel his skin against hers "Clothes off," she panted

"You first," he told her "You said you wanted et nad forat her T-shirt So ain and she’d willingly given up control to hied her shirt over her head, and then undid her jeans, slipping out of the but an old bra and panties that had both seen better days
