Since she and Jay were flying to Hawaii for an extended honeymoon in a couple of hours, they, along with the director, had decided to hand over the head scientist position for Pleasure Prolonged to Erin. This was Erin’s opportunity to make her mark in the scientific world and advance her career to the next level. For the following months, she would be working closely with Kale Alexander, Jay’s buddy and best man at their wedding.
Kale had agreed to take a leave of absence from his lab in Los Angeles and had come to Iowa, his old stomping grounds, to fill in for Jay while he was away.
Laura twisted sideways to speak to Erin. She looked so beautiful in her pale blue maid of honor gown, her long nutmeg colored hair, which she usually wore in a ponytail, was arranged on top of her head in a classy, artful coiffure. Her beauty was stunning.
A grin curved Laura’s mouth when she noted the glazed look in Erin’s eyes as she gawked slack-jawed at her handsome new lab partner, Kale. Oblivious to his admirer, Kale gracefully glided around the dance floor with a pretty young blonde. Laura noted a line of women anxiously awaiting their turn in his arms. In fact, they seemed to be tripping over their hems just to get closer to him.
Laura tapped Erin’s shoulder, drawing her attention. “If you want him, seduce him, that’s what I’d do,” Laura whispered, throwing Erin’s words back at her. “And you might want to wipe the drool from your mouth, Erin,” she teased. “It’s not very becoming.”
Erin’s mouth opened and closed in a silent gasp. “Very funny.”
Laura chuckled, remembering how Erin had threatened to switch the vials on her. She never did know for certain whether she would have done it or not. Of course, it wouldn’t have surprised her. Erin was one heck of a brazen girl.
Jay’s powerful muscles bunched as he crossed the room and came up beside her. She shifted to face him. She pulled in a breath as a shiver skipped down her spine. Instinctively, she leaned into him. His eyes were dark and full of desire as they locked on hers. Laura’s heart fluttered in her chest as she gazed at him in rapture. Her throat tightened with emotions.
He pitched his voice low. His breath was hot on her neck. “All ready to go to the airport?”
Laura noted the arousal edging his voice. His deep tone bombarded her body with feminine need. He slipped his arm around her waist, anchoring her to his muscular body. God, she loved being held by him. A thrill ran through her as his heat curled around her and fired her blood.
“I’m all ready,” she said. Before she slipped away with Jay, she leaned into Erin and whispered, “Maybe you two will have as much fun testing Pleasure Prolonged as Jay and I had testing Pleasure Control.”
Although she’d love to stick around and hear all the details, she had other, more pressing matters on her mind. Like how in a few short hours, she and Jay would join the infamous Mile High Club.
Besides, the details of Erin and Kale’s quest to produce and test Pleasure Prolonged was an entirely new and different story…
Epilogue
A half hour into their flight to Hawaii, Jay leaned over Laura and asked in a hushed tone, “Are you wearing those panties I bought for you?”
Warm familiarity seeped into her skin and filled her with want. A wave of excitement curled around her as his mouth skimmed her cheekbone. Just knowing in a few minutes, once the overhead movie started and the cabin lights dimmed, that Jay planned on initiating her into the Mile High Club made her tremble with need. Over the past few months not only had Jay catered to her every fantasy, her every sexual whim, he had introduced her to a few she hadn’t even known she had!
“You’ll have to wait to find out,” she teased, fluffing her pillow and adjusting her blanket over her legs.
His grin turned lethal. “The hell with that.” He slipped his hand under her blanket.
“Jay, what are you doing?” she whispered, glancing around nervously. The flight attendant stood only a few seats away as she made her rounds with the drink cart.
He pitched his voice low. “You wanted to join the Mile High Club, didn’t you?” He began lightly massaging her sex through her skirt.
She gave a breathy moan. “Yeah, but not here.” Oh God, that felt good. “We’re still in our seats.”
He shrugged.
“Someone could come,” she warned.
He grinned. “Haven’t we already been through that?”
Slowly he began to draw her skirt up higher. Her breath stalled as his warm fingers drew lazy circles on her sensitive skin. A rush of heat warmed her cheeks.
Holy cripes!
Her resistance crumbled like burnt toast. She widened her legs in an encouraging gesture. Her pulse kicked into high gear. “This is very naughty, Jay.”
He arched a brow. “I know.”
She drew a shaky breath. “We shouldn’t be doing this.”
“You don’t think?”
She gave a tight shake of her head and inched her legs open wider.
His fingers trailed higher over her spread legs. “Your mouth says one thing, Laura, but your body says another,” he countered, his grin cocky.
Okay, so he had her on that one.
His padded thumb connected with her soft bristly hairs. His eyes darkened with desire; his throat worked as he swallowed. “Jesus,” he hissed as he cupped her bare sex.
Laura chuckled as his body reacted to her nakedness. She pitched her voice low to match his. “I hope you don’t mind that I’m not wearing the new panties you bought for me, but I thought it would save time.” She crinkled her nose. “And the bathrooms are small, not much maneuvering room.”
“Fuck, do you know what that does to me?” he
