poured our drinks she moved to the next row and I continued the conversation.
“What about you? Business or pleasure?” I took a sip of wine, letting the coolness soothe my throat and my nerves.
“I wish I could say pleasure, but sadly business.”
“What do you do?”
“I’m in advertising.”
“Really. My degree is in marketing, but trying to find a job is almost impossible. Most places want two years experience, but how am I supposed to get experience if I can’t get a job.”
The plane bounced a little and I downed the rest of my wine in one sip.
“You look like you need this more than me,” my seatmate said and handed me his still full cup.
He didn’t have to ask me twice. I happily took it off his hands.
“How long ago did you graduate?” he asked, and I instantly felt like the biggest failure on the planet.
“Two years ago. I had an internship that I thought could turn into something, but after a summer of getting people their coffee and making copies, it went nowhere.”
Our conversation stayed on the current job market, and before I knew it, we had safely landed. My heart had stopped pounding out of control twenty minutes into the flight, and I had completely forgotten about the fear clawing up my throat.
“Thank you…I’m sorry I didn’t get your name.”
“Max.”
“I’m Lyla,” I said with a smile.
“Well, Lyla, it has been an absolute pleasure.”
We got off the flight and went our separate ways. I scanned the crowds of people looking for Dee’s beautiful black hair or for Cole’s thick-framed glasses. My heart skipped a beat when my eyes landed on the last person I’d ever thought I’d see again.
I almost pinched myself to make sure I wasn’t dreaming about Jaxon Reed like I had so many times since our night together. Maybe that second glass of wine wasn’t a good idea.
Unable to believe my eyes, I blinked. When I opened them, expecting him to be gone, his hot intense gaze found mine and I was staring back at my one and only one night stand.
Chapter 2
It had been two very long years since I’d seen that beautiful face, and whether it was time or longing, he somehow looked even better. Delicious visions of our night together assaulted my mind. His lips burning hot, violent trails up my neck. His strong hand on my stomach, pushing me into the mattress while he brought me to the edge. The way we stared into each other’s eyes as he drove us both over that edge.
His eyes were just as dark as I remembered, but his features were more chiseled and defined. The gorgeous hair I yanked on when he gave me the best orgasm of my life looked like it had been just recently trimmed. I wanted so desperately to run my hands through the soft strands again.
And that orgasm. That mind-numbing, body tingling, out of this world orgasm that I had never experienced before, and not again since, was the reason for my current dry spell. It was like getting a taste of the most delicious food and being told you would never taste it again. The cravings were insatiable. The desire to seek it out was always there.
Heat shot to my core just thinking about that night. Now with him mere feet away—the being I’d been craving for so long—it took all I had not to run up to him, grab him by his gorgeous face and push him up against the nearest wall.
He started making his way toward me and my heart raced like it was anticipating take-off again. Everything around me blurred except for the man that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. Max appeared in front of me with a sheepish smile and blocked my view.
“When you get back from Michigan give me a call,” he said and handed me his business card.
I went to talk, but my vocal chords were still frozen in shock by the man getting closer. I took the card and smiled.
I was about to say I would call when Jaxon’s strong hand snaked around my waist, sending a scorching surge of heat straight to my core. He pulled me tight against his hard body and
