“Thank you, thank you, thank you, Max,” Lexi says, hopping in his lap.
Lexi jumps around from empty seat to empty seat, having to try each one as we make our way to the skydiving place. She touches every button to see what it does and when she finds the radio, she stops so she can dance around. I feel like the bad guy telling her she needs to sit down while we are moving. It doesn’t help when Jaxon and Max boo me, telling me I’m a spoil sport. Assholes. Addison gently squeezes my leg and smiles up at me. Then she kicks Max.
God, I love you.
“Ow! What was that for?” She glares at him without saying anything. “Wow, you’ve got that mom look down perfect.” He barks out a laugh when she acts like she’s scratching her nose…with her middle finger.
We pull up to the place and everyone hops out. Everyone but Bryn is excited to try indoor skydiving. “C’mon, Bryn, live a little,” I say, throwing my arm around her.
“That’s exactly what I’m trying to do. Live.” She blows out her cheeks slowly. “With both feet on the ground.”
“You’ll love it and one of the guys will be in there with you so you don’t slam yourself into the wall.” She glances up at me, eyes open wide, and I smirk.
“Well, that sounds lovely.”
Addison stops at the door and reads the sign. She turns and looks at me. “Did y’all rent the entire place out?” she asks, pointing at the sign. It says they are closed from four to six for a private party.
“Something like that,” I reply, grinning. Max owns this place. He bought the franchise about four years ago. When the concept came out, he jumped at the chance. We also get to come here and play around without having to take the plane up in the air. He has a manager whom he trusts that has been here the entire time to run the place so he doesn’t have to deal with anything except the money part.
After everyone watches the video, we put our jumpsuits on. Everyone except Max. He doesn’t fly in front of a lot of people. He’s not a showy type of guy. Damon, though, has no problem showing off.
He jumps in first and shoots all the way up the tube. Lexi jumps up and down, giggling, and runs to the glass to look. He comes back down, headfirst, and stays that way in front of Lexi for a couple seconds. She yells his name and claps. He continues to show off moves that we’ve practiced numerous times. It’s all about body control and displacing the air pressure with slight movements. He’s only in the tube for two minutes. When he comes out of the door, Lexi runs up to him.
“You are Peter Pan!” she exclaims. He belts out a laugh along with everyone else. “Only Peter Pan can fly like that.” She points to the tube.
“Lost Boys can fly, too.”
“No, they can’t. Tinkerbell only gives pixie dust to Peter Pan,” she says defensively. She puts her hands on her hip, waiting for him to argue with her.
“Okay, you win. I’m Peter Pan,” he says, throwing his hands in the air. “Alright, Tinkerbell, let’s go show them how to fly.” He points to Syd, and she jumps up off the bench.
One by one, either Damon or I take each person into the tube. Max is stationed at the controls, making sure the wind is just right for each person. Lexi and Addison are all that is left in this round.
“Who’s next?” I say, looking at both of them.
“I think I’m ready to go,” Lexi says, walking over to me. Her steps are slower than normal, but she’s putting on a brave face.
“Come on, Tater Tot. I’ve got you.”
“Are you going to let me go?” She slips her hand in mine.
“Only if you give me the thumbs-up. Okay?” She nods in agreement. “After I let you fly for a few seconds, I’m going to fly with you, and we’ll go up there.” Her eyes widen as she leans on the glass and looks up at the tunnel. “It’ll be fun, I promise.”
I’m so freaking proud of her when she stabilizes herself. She listens to all my cues, and she’s sticking her thumb up in no time, allowing me to let go so she can fly on her own. When she sees that I’m not holding her, her smile grows. The wind puffs out her cheeks so she looks like a chipmunk. I glance at Addison and she’s clapping. Lexi waves to her which causes her body to move out of control. I grab her and she puts her hands back in the correct position. She’s still smiling. That’s my girl.
I grab a hold of her suit and nod at Max to turn up the wind. As it increases, I’m able to lift my feet. I make us spin and move up and down in the tube. I have a feeling Lexi is screaming, but I can’t hear anything. Probably a good thing right now. She remains calm, so I continue to have some fun with her. She’s light and easy to maneuver.
When we exit the tube, everyone cheers and Lexi smashes into my legs, wrapping her arms around them. “That was so fun! I want to go again!” she shouts. I stick my arm out against the glass, so I don’t go flying back.
“We will,” I smile. “First, I have to take Addison.” The adrenaline running through her little body makes her a live wire. I’m afraid she’s going to explode with all that energy. Her arms flail at her sides as she talks to everyone about what we did. She’s talking so fast people just nod and laugh. Then she moves to her next victim. “Watch her,” I tell Damon. She’s jumping off the bench, trying to mimic what we did. Damon grabs her and puts her on his lap.
“I think you’re going to create an adrenaline junky,” Addison says as we watch her.
“She’s going to crash hard later,” I say. “Sweetheart, it’s you and me now.” I grab her hand and lead her to the doorway.
“Don’t think of doing any of that crazy shit.” She motions to Damon. My mouth twitches thinking of things I wish I could try while skydiving with Addison. Not sure any of it would be doable, but the wicked thoughts are still there. “Aiden…” she says slowly.
“Don’t worry, none of the things I was just thinking can happen in here,” I whisper. Her cheeks redden as she hits me in the stomach. I laugh at her disapproval of my sexual thoughts. I can’t help it. If she only knew the places I’ve thought of fucking her, she’d think I was crazy. When it comes to her, I’m certainly crazy horny.
