  For the Silken fans who keep me going.

  Chapter One

  Roxanne Foresman was thankful for the five hour flight home. Wanting to use the time as an opportunity to make things right, she took a deep breath, and turned to face her ex-boyfriend Jonathan Montgomery. “Jonathan, I’m glad we’re sitting together. I have something—”

  “Excuse me.” A female voice cut in.

  Roxi looked up at an attractive flight attendant who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

  “Before our flight departs, we’re looking for able bodied volunteers to sit by the emergency exit. Would either of you be interested?” The woman’s sultry eyes lingered on Jonathan for far too long causing a swell of jealousy to swim up around Roxi.

  “I’m able bodied.” Jonathan winked at the attendant. “And I’ve sat there before, I know the drill. You don’t mind, do you Rox?” Glancing down at her, he had an excited boyishness to his facial expression, like someone told him he’d be getting a new puppy.

  Hesitating just a second, she sighed. “No, that’s fine. Go ahead.”

  “Excellent. Let me show you to your seat, sir.” The attendant gestured toward the rear of the plane.

  Roxi knew he got a secret thrill out of being called Sir outside of Underground Decadence, the BDSM club where he worked and played. But then again, she knew a lot about the handsome man she knew and loved for most of her life.

  Jonathan unbuckled and jumped up, grabbing his carry-on luggage. He didn’t look back, the flight attendant however, did. It wasn’t a very nice look at all. It was as if she could read Roxi’s disappointment over the seating change, and reveled in her misery.

  Once the plane reached altitude and a series of chimes sounded throughout the cabin, Roxi unbuckled. The attendant from earlier must have caught her action, and came over. “I’m sorry, but you need to keep buckled unless the captain turns off the seatbelt sign. It’s for your safety.”

  Roxi eyed her name tag. “Can I at least use the restroom, Linda?”

  “Of course, it’s up that way.” Linda spoke using an overly sweet tone, and pointed toward the front of the plane. Jonathan sat in the opposite direction, and she needed to talk to him. Roxi sighed in defeat, but headed to the ladies room anyway.

  As soon as she locked the door behind her they hit a pocket of turbulence making her feel woozy. She gripped onto the sink for a moment to wait out the bumpy ride. She heard a couple more chimes from overhead, probably the Captain calling the flight attendants. Shortly after, they made an announcement that the aircraft was approaching more turbulence, and passengers should remain buckled in their seats.

  After fixing her hair, washing her hands, and adjusting her clothing she headed out to have that talk with Jonathan. The heck with what the pilot said, she walked slowly, looking for Linda. She didn’t see her anywhere. It was time to make her move. Twelve rows back from her seat, she stopped next to him and smiled at the sight. He had fallen asleep with his head against the window and his mouth hanging open in the most adorable way. Not wanting to wake him, she shook her head and went back to her seat with a smile on her face.

  Jonathan was, in her eyes, the most attractive, caring man she’d ever known. Dark cropped hair and green eyes accentuated his friendly face. In the bedroom, however, that face wasn’t so gracious, but damn, that’s when he turned dark and sexy. His tall runner’s physique was perfect, and just the thought of it made her tingle between her legs.

  ***

  “Excuse me, ma’am?”

  Roxi rubbed her eyes of sleep, and focused in on Linda. “Yes? Is everything all right?” She sat bolt upright in a panic, looking around. She didn’t mind flying, but nerves usually struck once they hit the runway. That’s why she had asked Jonathan to sit next to her in the first place, and the fact that she could’ve been able to talk to him would’ve been an added bonus.

  Linda held out a hand. “Oh, yes. Everything is fine. I’m sorry to disturb you.” She motioned to the cart. “Food service?” Linda seemed sincere in her apology, and that helped Roxi to relax a little.

  “Um, sure, and a Sprite, too? Please.” Roxi settled back against her seat.

  “Certainly.” Linda handed her a tray of food covered in plasti
c wrap with beads of condensation on the inside. John, Linda’s cart mate, poured her soda. “Enjoy.”

  “Thank you.”

  As soon as she took a sip and unwrapped her food, the turbulence kicked in again. She sat watching the effervescent liquid dance around in the clear plastic cup. With nervous butterflies in her stomach, she only took small nibbles of her food for fear of getting airsick. She never had before, but didn’t want to take any chances.

  After the food service ended and all the trash collected, Roxi decided to try and talk to Jonathan once more. She stood and surveyed the walkway. It was clear. When she made it to his seat her mouth popped open in disbelief. Linda sat right next to Jonathan and they were laughing at something, and then she noticed the woman’s legs draped across his lap. Roxi turned to escape before either of them could see her.

  “Roxi? You okay?” Jonathan’s voice called to her.

  Shit, she’d been caught. Slowly glancing over her shoulder she looked directly at him. “I’m fine. Just checking in with you, but I see you have company.” And Roxi was horribly upset about it. She just wanted a few minutes of his time to talk to him. Explain her side of things.

  Jonathan smiled at the woman next to him. “Yeah, Linda’s on her break.”

  Roxi looked at the woman who gave her a sly smirk. Bitch. “Okay, see you when we land.” She rushed off before he could see the disappointment on her face or hear it in her voice.

  Back at her seat, she buckled up and reflected on the long weekend she’d shared with her small group of friends. They were flying home after attending her brother’s wedding. Jake and Kristy had tied the knot in Vegas, and she wouldn’t have missed it for the world, even if it meant getting on an airplane or two. The newlyweds stayed behind for a week-long honeymoon, while the rest of them; her, Jonathan, Sherry, and Dan flew back home.

  Sherry, Kristy’s best friend, and her husband, Dan, were seated all the way in the back of the plane. Roxi hadn’t seen them since boarding.

  The weekend went great. The wedding had been simple and beautiful in a little chapel away from the Vegas strip. Jake, handsome as ever in a dark suit, and Kristy in a simple white gown looked picture perfect. They were so in love it radiated off of them, and anyone in a ten block radius could see it. Sure they had their obstacles to get around, like their fourteen-year age difference—Kristy being older. But to have made it as far as they did in their relationship, even though they still had things to work on, was an inspiration. They found true love, and in the end Roxi could see what they went through being worth it.

  Their true love is what made her rethink her relationship with Jonathan. She loved him, simple as that, and she could never see herself loving anyone else. A life with him was possible, and she would do almost anything for him.

  Almost, and that was the problem. If only Jonathan could be the man she needed him to be, then, and only then, could they make things work. She needed more than he could provide for her, and Roxi didn’t think she could be happy unless those needs were met.

  ***

  Boarding the plane, Jonathan laid eyes on the hottest flight attendant he’d ever seen. Even in her uniform he could tell she had a body he wanted to explore. Oh, that uniform. He’d make her wear it in his playroom, and oh how they’d play. His gaze roamed up and down legs that seemed to go on forever. His dick stirred at the thought of what he might find at the top of those thighs, given the chance.

  “I feel sick.” Roxi pulled his attention to her.

  “Nerves?” he asked.

  She nodded. “Yeah, you know me. I’ll be fine once we get in the air, and even better when we land.”

  Not many people were booked on the early morning cross country flight so they took their time as they moved along to their seats. Stopping to check the tickets to be sure they were at the right row, Jonathan placed his carry-on down. “Yep, this is us. Here, give me your bag. I know you can’t lift it.” He took her case and hoisted it over his head with a grunt, placing it in the overhead compartment. “I still don’t get why you had to pack this heavy for a short trip.”

  “A girl has needs, and things.”

  “You probably didn’t use half the stuff in there. Did you?” He tried unsuccessfully not to grin.

  She narrowed her eyes at him. “No, but you never know what you’ll need, and what if there’s a weather change? You have to be prepared.”

  “In Vegas?” Laughter escaped his throat, but he shrugged it off. Roxanne’s the one and only true love of his life, and yet he was uncertain if they were even friends. But they’d been getting along, so he’d go with it for the time being.

  After sitting and buckling his seatbelt, he looked up to see the sexy flight attendant heading their way. Her large breasts, at eye-level with him, bounced underneath her jacket with each step she took. Holding his breath he pulled his view from her chest to her face.

  Red lips curled up in invitation. He was no fool, he could read a woman, and it wasn’t a result of being a Dom. For as long as he could remember in his twenty four years, he’d always had that special gift. He knew the way she looked at him, and if they were in a bar right now, she’d be going home with him.

  She inquired if either one of them would sit by the emergency exit. He jumped at the chance; he would have done anything she asked, right then and there.

  The sexy woman hovered close to him and explained the mechanics of the door. He noticed how her dark ponytail hung over her shoulder and cascaded down the swell of her breast, and how her dark blue eyes twinkled in mischief from her soft, pale complexion. Yeah, she wanted him.

  Fixated on her lips sparkling with crimson lipstick, and thinking how good they’d look wrapped around his dick, he hadn’t noticed she’d asked him a question. “Sir, did you understand? Do you have any questions?”

  “I got it. No problem.” He smiled, and after she walked away, poked his head out in the aisle to watch her go. Her hips had a little extra sway that hadn’t been there before. Moments later he sat back and listened to her voice, slight with a rasp filter over the intercom as she went on with the pre-flight safety brief. He found the sound of it to be just as sexy as the rest of her. Well, of what he could see.

  The take off had been smooth, and the climb turbulent, which was the norm for leaving McCarran airport that time of year. Resting his head on the seatback, he felt the plane level out reaching its altitude. Shit, Roxi! He hoped she kept calm, and had a handle on her nerves. He felt bad that he hadn’t asked her to join him, and for a split second wondered why Linda hadn’t seated Roxi beside him. But then he recalled the way the woman looked at him, and he answered his own question. She wanted him tucked away alone.

  Jonathan welcomed Linda as a distraction from Roxi. Being so close to her over the weekend made his heart ache all over again. Several months prior, she had returned home after leaving all those months ago. Not only did she leave him, she took off for parts unknown. Not one note or a single phone call explaining why. She disappeared from his life for a year and a few days, but who was counting? He realized his hands were balled into fists and unclenched them slowly.

  Jonathan never knew pain like that before. Up until that point, he and Roxi had been inseparable since elementary school, and after she left he felt dead inside. He had asked her brother, and his best friend, Jake, never to speak of her in his presence again. Even though Jake loved his twin sister, he respected Jonathan’s wish and never mentioned her in conversation. Jake kept his word so well that Jonathan didn’t know when she was back in town. Not until he bound up the steps to Jake’s apartment one morning to find her standing there. His heart stopped beating for a moment and he felt dizzy, but he wouldn’t let her get to him, he’d reeled in his emotions and held strong.

  She moved into the apartment across from her brother and started looking for a job. He didn’t think she planned to leave again, but he never thought she would’ve left the first time around, either. He wouldn’t allow himself to get close to her. There’s
no way he’d survive if she ripped out his heart again.

  Turbulence shook the plane and the squeaking hull pulled Jonathan from his painful thoughts of Roxi only to worry about her again. She hated the feeling in her gut when the plane bounced around. If he was sitting with her, he’d have taken her hand and held it reassuringly.

  A little while later, his suspicions of Linda were confirmed. She plopped down into the seat next to him. “Whew, break time, do you mind if I sit here with you for a little?”

  He shook his head, almost forgetting to speak. “Not at all.”

  She reclined the seat and relaxed against it. Jonathan’s eyes went to her breasts as her jacket pulled tightly across the expanse of her bosom. “So, where’re you heading? Home or away?”

  “Home. We were in Vegas for a wedding.”

  Linda sat up straight. “Oh, God, is that your wife you were sitting with?”

  Jonathan laughed at her wide-eyed expression. “No, my best friend got married. The woman I was sitting with is his sister.”

  “Oh, I am so thankful I didn’t separate newlyweds! I would have died.” Linda sat back again, but not as relaxed as before.

  “Here.” He reached under her legs. She froze and gaped at him. “Put your feet on my lap. They must hurt walking around in these heels all day.”

  She turned her head toward the sleeping couple nearby, then glanced up and down the aisle. Only then did she let him pull her legs into his lap. He slipped off her shoes and began rubbing her stockinged feet. “What are you doing?” Her mouth hung open, but he saw her body slump into relaxation.

  “Why? Don’t you like it?” He gave a tilt to his head. She put her head back on the headrest and her eyes fluttered as she moaned in response. Jonathan chuckled, and his mind went to other things he could be doing to make her moan. “I’m Jonathan, by the way.” And I want to do kinky things to you.
