My hips are between hers and I use all my strength to continue holding her as I cup her face with my hands and say, “Kendall, I love that this is all new for you. It’s new for me, too,” and I mean that. She’s the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life.
“Really?” She questions back.
“I never felt this way, ever. We’ll learn this together,” I say and then I pick her up and head for the bed. I know she should be working, and I probably should be too, but I can’t help it. I want to lay down with Kendall. Even if all we do is lay in bed and make out.
Chapter Twelve
Kendall
I can’t believe I’m wrapped around Declan. Literally, I have my arm on his lower stomach and my legs are entwined in his. My skirt is hiked up and he has an arm under my neck and his other one holding onto my thigh. Somewhere after we started talking, I drifted off to sleep. I’m technically on the clock. I should not be back here with Declan, but when I tried to get up to go back to my station, he wouldn’t let me.
“Take a break with me, just for a little while,” he murmured into my ear and then I relaxed into him and passed out.
I slowly wake up before Declan. I look into his face; it’s relaxed in sleep and he’s as handsome as ever. I’m glad he’s taking his time with me.
The light goes on for passengers to get back in their seats, so I gently trace his nose with my fingertip and Declan slowly opens his eyes. His smile is immediate, and it comforts me.
“I guess we passed out,” he says with sleep in his voice.
“We did, but now we have to get back in our seats, and, well, I should be working,” I say sheepishly. His hand goes up and plays with the tendrils of my hair that fell out of my bun while sleeping.
“Thank you for hanging out with me, Kendall,” he says in a low hushed tone. We’re cocooned in our own paradise.
We both straighten things up and head out of the cabin holding hands. I go back to my station.
“See you soon,” Declan says quietly as we part ways.
“I can’t wait, Declan,” I reply. We exchanged numbers yesterday. He stated he’d be texting me soon. I was disappointed when I woke up this morning and didn’t see anything. I brushed it off the best I could and got ready for work. To say I was surprised when he asked me to join him is saying the least.
“Someone is staring hard,” Max says as he rolls his eyes.
“Can you blame me?” I respond sassily.
“No one could, Doll,” he replies with a wink as we talk about what we’re doing and what airlines we’ll be on for the coming week. As soon as Declan let me know we were returning today, I set up a few more jobs. Most of them are to New York and back with me only being gone during the day. I try my hardest not to book overnight flights. They take forever for me to rebound from after all, I’m not a night owl.
Chapter Thirteen
Declan
We land and I wait outside patiently for Kendall to come out. I know she has to clean up after our flight and go over another check list. I’m about to text her when she comes down the stairs holding her small overnight bag. I go toward her and pick it up. She stops in her tracks, unsure of what I’m doing.
“Come on. I’ll take you home,” I tell her as I place my hand on her lower back.
“Well, uh. I guess so. Just let me go tell Max, so he doesn’t worry,” she says, placing a kiss on the underside of my jaw before turning and heading back to him.
Fuck, what that woman does to me. I never take my eyes off of her as she lets Max know she’s leaving with me.
She’s back in just a couple of minutes. I place her bag next to mine in the trunk of my car. When I see ours there together, it makes me want to see it like that forever. I want her in my house, having her side of the bed, her side in the bathroom, and her side of the closet. Right next to mine.
“I’m ready now.” I meet her at the passenger door and open it and wait for her to sit down before I close it and head around to the driver’s side.
I slide into my car, start it up, and ask, “Where to?”
She tells me her address and then says, “I live with my mom, so I hope you don’t mind but umm…you’ll more than likely meet her today.”
