His silence was deafening.
She laughed softly, stretching out like a cat. “You’re adorable when you’re feral.”
The jet hummed. Lucas stared at his file, jaw locked, eyes unfocused.
Maddison sipped again. “Tell me when we land. I’ll be good until then. Probably.”
His mutter was almost inaudible. She caught two words.

Lucas hadn’t looked up in ten minutes. Not since Maddison’s bare foot started tracing lazy circles up his calf.
“You’re impossible,” he ground out, death-gripping the armrest.
“I’m just trying to get comfortable,” she said sweetly. “Private jets make me fidgety.”

“Good.” She hiked her dress up and straddled him, sinking down slowly, never breaking eye contact. “Go insane for me.”
Lucas let out a strangled groan, forehead dropping against hers as he buried himself inside her.
“Fuck, Maddison…”
