effort at all. “Are you cold?” He knew damn well she wasn’t. She was saved from answering as their food arrived. They were served their dinners and her breathing slowly returned to normal. Nick kept her talking while they ate their meal, which turned out to be delicious. Who knew airline food could actually be tasty? Terrah found herself laughing easily with Nick. They chatted about work stuff and mutual acquaintances, which helped her to stop obsessing over every dip of the plane. An unexpected thrill of delight zipped through her every time he chuckled at something she said. She loved the sound of his deep voice, but his laugh was positively delicious! It really wasn’t fair for him to be so damned sexy and easy-going. He was one of the top male models in the world, yet he was the most unpretentious man in the industry she knew. Their plates were taken away and they both settled back in their seats. “Well”—Nick glanced at his watch—“only seven hours and thirty-four minutes until we land.” “Don’t remind me.” Her gaze dropped to his mouth as he smiled. She suddenly longed to taste his kiss again. Heat suffused her face as she averted her attention to her purse. Distraction… You need a distraction. She pulled out a fashion magazine she’d bought at the airport, flipped it open and casually turned the pages. Her eyes widened as she stopped and stared at the glossy page. So much for distraction. There was Nick in all his male beauty, lounging on a beautiful leather couch in only his designer underwear. Terrah groaned softly as her eyes feasted on the lust-inducing ad. The camera angle and expert lighting lovingly highlighted every sinewy line and hard muscle. Nick’s body was a work of art in itself. The noticeable bulge in the underwear held her attention for a moment, but it was the smouldering look in his eyes that tempted her. His electrifying gaze held a million promises and Terrah was willing to bet he could fulfil every one of them. She turned the page, casting a quick glance at Nick who was busy fiddling with his phone. It didn’t look like he’d just seen her ogling his picture. Thank goodness. Taking a deep breath, Terrah began reading an article on how to expertly trim eyebrows. She was halfway through it when Nick cleared his throat. “So…” She lifted her head from the magazine to look at him. “So?” “Tell me what you were you thinking about when you saw my ad.” Damn! He had seen her. “Nice underwear.” Nick raised an eyebrow. “That’s all you were thinking about?” His voice was lower than normal as he leaned a little closer to her. She had to lift her chin higher to meet his eyes. “C’mon, Nick”—Terrah shook her head with an exasperated sigh—“I was thinking about what I’m sure every woman on this planet thinks about when looking at that picture.” Was he for real? Did he really think she was going to confess all her secret erotic fantasies about him to his face? “I’m not interested in knowing what every other woman is thinking, only you.” His seductive tone captivated her as she held his gaze. “I’m sure you can guess what I was thinking about, Nick.” “I’m not a mind reader. Were you admiring the boxers? Were you studying lighting or maybe the backdrop? Or…were you imagining the two of us together in bed?” A wave of desire crested over her, so strong that Terrah squeezed her thighs together as if the small movement could prevent the flood of wetness from soaking her panties. “What kind of question is that?” The moist heat centring between her legs competed with the burn of her cheeks. “The kind of question I want an answer to.” “Yes. I was imagining what it would be like to have sex with you.” She had hoped to shock him with her brazen response, but he simply nodded his head as if she’d just commented on the weather. Terrah averted her face, feeling exposed and ridiculous as she
