“Oh, wait,” I say, removing one of my hands. The tug it takes for me to pull my hand back from his has us turning a little. I laugh out loud at the unexpected thrill. He straightens us out.
“What are you doing?” he asks as I unzip the pocket on my side. I pull out my phone, hoping like hell I don’t drop it.
“I told Lexi that I’d take a picture of us while we were skydiving,” I say, turning it on and finding the camera app. Doing it all with one hand usually isn’t difficult, but with the pressure of not dropping it, it’s a lot harder than I thought.
Aiden chuckles. “Only a woman would think to take a selfie while skydiving.”
I hold it up, finding the perfect position that doesn’t make me look ridiculous. Because there’s always that one angle that makes anyone look bad. Click. Click. Click.
“Damn, woman, I think you have enough.”
“You always have to take more than one,” I say incredulously. “I mean, what happens if we get on the ground and the one we took looks horrible or blurry?” I put my phone back in my pocket and make sure to zip it back up.
“I can’t imagine you’d look bad in any picture,” he whispers in my ear, goosebumps cover my body.
“Oh, come on, Agent Roberts, you can do better than that corny pick-up line.” I giggle.
He barks out a laugh and instead of trying again, we’re suddenly in a tailspin. I scream in excitement.
This, I love.
We straighten back out as we get near the ground. I see Syd and Max a little higher than us. I laugh to myself, hoping Max really doesn’t fall on Syd.
With our feet on the ground, I start to take off my harness and find Aiden watching me with a salacious grin. Remembering our first jump floods my memory. The first time I told him I loved him. The first time we made love. So much has happened since then, but my love has only grown stronger for this man.
Putting my hands on his face, I stand on my toes and bring my lips to his with a soft brush of my lips.
“I love you, Aiden,” I whisper on his lips. His lips curl against mine.
“I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I won’t ever let you go,” he whispers back. His hand puts pressure on my back, pulling me into him as it moves into my hair. He pulls my ponytail out, releasing my hair, only to wrap it around his hand.
He pulls it back, giving him full access to my neck. His soft lips slowly kiss across my neck. After each kiss, he whispers, “I love you.”
My already overly sensitized nerves from the adrenaline are crawling with desire from his heated breath, soft touches, and loving words. My eyes roll back, feeling everything.
Birds are chirping above us. The sun is low in the sky, but its rays are still heavy with heat. My body soaks it in. I’m burning up. I can’t seem to catch my breath.
But I don’t want Aiden to stop.
I grip his shirt to steady myself. My breathing is heavy as he assaults my neck. He drags his lips up to my mouth, kissing me deeply. I start to get dizzy. I have to pull back to gasp for air. I’m drowning from the heat of his love. He rests his forehead on mine, panting just as heavily as I am. He closes his eyes, draws in a few deep breaths. I know he feels it, too.
“Forever,” he says breathless, tucking his head into my neck.
“Forever,” I repeat.
We stand there, embraced in a hug for a few more minutes. Aiden looks down at me and softly smiles.
“Let’s go find Max and Syd.”
Oh, shit! I totally forgot about them. My eyes go wide as I look around. Aiden chuckles.
“They’re in the next landing spot, right past those trees,” he says, jerking his head toward a line of trees. He kisses me on the forehead before releasing me.
We pack the parachute and head their direction. As we clear the trees, we find Max and Sydney. I gasp in surprise, bringing my hand to my mouth.
Sydney is in Max’s arms, and they are lip locked. Aiden clears his throat. Sydney immediately stops, hops down, and runs to me, jumping into my arms.
“Oh, my God! That was so … unbelievable!” she screams, jumping up and down in my arms. I’m still staring at her with wide eyes, wondering when we’re going to address what we just walked up on.
