Carefully she made her way past the crowds of people but someone grabbed her arm and she turned to give them a piece of her mind but her eyes widened as she met his.

“Cole?”

“Fancy meeting you here?” He said grinning.

“Is this where you disappeared off too?” She asked.

“Not exactly but I knew it’s where you’d be.” He replied.

“How?”

“Sit with me.” He said ignoring her question and leading her to the same quiet, empty corner.

“You did good today.” He said.

“I aim to impress.” She replied.

“I might just test you on that later this evening.” He said and she shook her head.

“My flight is in three hours.”

“No it’s not. I cancelled it.” Cole said and her jaw dropped.

“What?” She replied feeling annoyed.

He laughed putting his hand on her thigh and running it up till it was almost indecent.

“Cole. You cancelled my flight?” She persisted.

“I thought you might prefer something a little less commercial.” He said running his eyes over her just like he had back in the office.

“Meaning?”

“My jet.” He said meeting her eyes and she knew the look in them was making her wet.

“Fucking hell. You cancelled my flight because you want to fuck me on your jet right?” She said and he laughed. “Admit it.”

“Why would I deny it? It’s true.”

She shook her head at him.

“So when are we leaving? Tonight?” She asked.

“Nope.”

“Tomorrow morning then?”

“Try again.” He said grinning even more.

“Cole.”

“We’re going to spend some time together, enjoying the big apple.” He said his hand squeezing her thigh just a little.

“Enjoying the big apple?” Maddie repeated.

“Well I’ll be enjoying it.” He said. “Drink up Maddie.” He said and she sighed realising that this whole time she was the only one with an actual drink.

“I’m suddenly not that thirsty.” She said.
