“Ladies,” a deep baritone said. “Is there a problem here?”
Georgia turned to look into Leo’s handsome face. And the look he gave her could only be described as “smoldering.”
“Damn,” Becca breathed.
“Everything is fine,” Georgia said hastily. She made a little motion to wave him on.Move along.
He winked, then disappeared down the aisle.
Becca grabbed the in-flight magazine out of the seat back pocket and began to fan herself. “The heat pouring off you two is hazardous. I’d better make sure I know where they keep the onboard fire extinguisher. Because, safety first.”
Georgia grabbed the magazine out of her hands and shoved it back into the pocket, while Becca laughed.
NINETEEN
Leo:Is it something I said?
Georgia:?
Leo:Your friend Becca put me in a room with Silas. And O’Doul is in the adjoining room. He won’t cuddle me. :(
Georgia:Have you asked nicely?
Leo:Yeah. So now I have a black eye.
Georgia:You crack yourself right up.
Leo:Thank you, folks, I’ll be here all week...
Georgia:You are bunking with Silas because Nate decided to travel with us to Texas and this hotel is full.
Leo:So your room, then? :)
Georgia:Nope.
Leo:But I need a word with the tatas. There’s something I forgot to say.
Georgia:I’ll put them on Skype.
Leo:Really?
Georgia:No!
Leo:Your room number is...
Georgia:... is the same one as Becca’s. See above explanation about the full hotel.
Leo:Fuck.
Georgia:Not so much.
Leo:I need to kiss you. Today.
Georgia:Is this some new superstition thing? Like your lucky jock strap in high school?
Leo:Fuck no. I need to kiss you. Everywhere. Soon. Before you invent a bunch of reasons why we shouldn’t.
Georgia:Too late.
