Eli
E li couldn’t sleep. He spent the evening packing, after leaving Mina’s place, and then, he lay in bed, tossing and turning. He felt like a kid on Christmas, waiting for the morning to come, so that he could go pick her up. He was finally getting what he wanted but kept denying himself, and he wasn’t sure what to do next. One thing was for sure, he was going to take his time with Mina and show her just how good they could be together because giving her up when their week in Colorado was over wasn’t an option. This was one thing in his life that he was determined not to fail at.
Mina was waiting for him, suitcase in hand, in her building’s lobby. He helped her into his SUV and put her suitcase into his trunk, next to his own. When he got back into his car and looked over at her, he could see the fear in her beautiful eyes.
“Hey,” he breathed, “you okay?”
“Yeah,” she lied. Mina took a deep breath and let it back out. “No,” she said. “I’m worried that this week is going to be a bust and that we’ll end up right back here, me worried about losing my job and trying to figure out how to split our time with our friends and family.”
“So, you have us failing before we even get started?” he asked.
Mina shrugged, “I guess I am doing that,” she admitted. “I don’t mean to be such a pessimist, but what happens if this doesn’t work out?” she asked.
Eli reached across the console and took her hand into his. “What if it does work out and everything turns out great?” he asked.
Mina giggled, “You’re going to play the optimist to my pessimist?” she asked.
“I’m going to try,” he said. He wasn’t very good at playing the optimist. He was usually into the doom and gloom of a situation, but they both couldn’t be the pessimist in the relationship—that would only end badly for them both.
“All right,” she agreed. “We can try things your way. If things go well, what happens when we get back here? Are we going to hide our relationship from everyone?”
“Why would we do that?” he asked. “I mean, are you ashamed of anyone knowing that we’re together?”
“No, of course not,” she said. “I just didn’t know if you’d want work to find out and all of that. I mean, I won’t be able to keep a secret from Carrie. Sooner or later, she’ll figure it out and I won’t lie to her.”
“I wouldn’t ask you to do that,” he assured. “How about we revisit this conversation in seven days when we’re on our way home? Right now, we have a plane to catch.” He was putting off the part where he wanted to tell her that he would tell everyone about her being his if that’s the way that things ended up for them. He wouldn’t hide their relationship, but telling Mina that now might just scare her off and that’s not what he wanted.
“That’s fair,” she agreed. He released her hand and started his SUV. He was going to get them to the airport to catch their plane, and then, he was going to make Mina his. He’d been waiting a damn long time for her, and Eli wasn’t willing to wait another second longer than he had to now that she agreed to give him this week.
The captain met them at the hangar, going over the flight plan with Eli. They would have four hours in the air, which gave him enough time to turn Mina from a pessimist to an optimist.
“This thing is nicer than my apartment,” Mina said, looking over the jet. “It’s like a flying condo. It even has a bedroom.” Eli stowed her carry-on and pulled her against his body.
“I’m aware,” he said, loving the blush that covered her cheeks. He loved the way he could make Mina blush. It was one of the many things he learned about her at his brother’s wedding. She would blush anytime he made any sexual suggestions and right now, that was all he wanted to do.
“I won’t push you, Mina, but I want our week to start now.” He wasn’t going to push her, but he really hoped that she’d agree to spend the flight with him, naked in bed.
“Now?” she squeaked.
“If you’re okay with that,” he said. “If not, we can talk and take our time.”
Mina wrapped her arms around his neck and went up on her tiptoes to brush her lips against his. It was the same kind of kiss that she had given him at her apartment, and he couldn’t help but take it a bit further. He pulled her into his arms, cradling her against his body as he walked with her back to the bedroom. The captain came over the speaker and told them to buckle in for takeoff.
“Shit,” Eli cursed. “The bedroom will just have to wait. Safety first.” He carried her over to one of the seats and sat her down. “Buckle in, baby,” he ordered. She blushed and did as he ordered. A part of Eli wondered if she would take all his orders, but they’d get to that later. Right now, he wanted to play with her because once he got her back to the bedroom, he planned on making her his.
Eli sat down in the seat next to her and buckled in. Mina looked like she was scared out of her mind. “You okay?” he asked.
“I’ve never flown before,” she admitted. “I’m a bit nervous.”
“It’s going to be all right, honey,” he assured. He pulled her hand into his own, kissing each of her fingers and then her palm.
“Oh,” she breathed. He loved the way that she squirmed in her seat with her need for him. He could get used to her breathy little sighs and the way that she seemed completely turned on by him just kissing her hand.
Eli wrapped his hand around the back of her neck, pulling her closer so that he could kiss her. “I think that I can come up with good ways to distract you, honey,” he said.
“I’d like that, Eli,” she whispered. He crushed his mouth over hers as Mina pressed her body against his. She was practically on his lap, not that he was complaining about that. She had worn a sundress, that reminded him of the one that she wore to his brother’s wedding, and he was pretty sure that she wasn’t wearing a bra again either. Every time she pressed herself against him at the wedding, when they danced, he nearly swallowed his damn tongue. Now, he’d be able to touch her; see her, and Eli couldn’t wait.
He brushed his hand over her taut nipple through the thin fabric of her dress, and she moaned into his mouth. God, she was perfect. “Is this helping?” he asked.
“Yes,” she breathed. “I like everything you’re doing, Eli,” she praised, giving him the courage to take things even further.
The plane taxied down the runway and took off and she gasped. Eli ran his hand up her smooth leg and found her panties, pulling them to the side. He ran his fingers through her wet pussy as Mina called out his name. He could tell that it wouldn’t take much to get her off and when the seatbelt sign was turned off, he decided to go to plan B.
Eli slipped out of his seatbelt and knelt between Mina’s legs. “What are you doing?” she whimpered.
“I’m going to taste you,” he breathed. “Then, I plan on taking you back to the bedroom and fucking you. Are you good with that, Mina? If not, say so now.”
She turned the cutest shade of pink and nodded. “I’m good with it,” she admitted. He wasted no time pulling her wet panties down her legs, discarding them on his seat as he spread her legs, giving himself access to her pussy.
“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered as he dipped his head to lick through her wet folds. God, she tasted like heaven. Eli was sure that he was never going to get enough of Mina.
When she came on his mouth, while whimpering his name, he nearly lost it. All he wanted to do was get them both completely naked and sink into her body. He stood and lifted her into his arms. He was going to finally have everything that he wanted with Mina since he held her in his arms at his brother’s wedding, and he didn’t want to waste a second.
