close until his lips touched hers.  
    She had no idea what to do now. Backing away would definitely give the pilot the wrong message, but kissing Ryder when she didn’t have to was a whole other kind of wrong.
    Regardless, her body was just as confused as she was, because it enjoyed being in his arms, and apparently, kissing him wasn’t ever going to disgust her.
    Just the opposite.
    For all his faults, the man had a lethal mouth.
    And he really threw her off balance when his lips moved over hers with a tenderness that turned her mind to mush. That crazy, fluttery feeling returned to dance a jig in her stomach. For the first time since she’d opened her eyes this morning, the fist in her stomach began to loosen. Heat spread through her like wildfire. She should break this up, and stop him from thinking he could just kiss her at will, but they needed to make up for the minister’s report and make this look good for the pilot.
    Besides, Ryder’s family would notice if something as simple as a kiss looked forced. She and Ryder could use the practice.
    Ryder hadn’t pushed for more, just continued the gentle assault that was shredding her sanity.
    Her fingers gripped his back, feeling cut muscle. What would this body look like without clothes? Maybe wet from a shower. Water dripping down all the contours, down a gorgeous ripped body.
    Naked?
    She was thinking about Ryder naked ?
    That is so not happening.
    Ryder’s hand moved around between them. His thumb brushed her breast and she made a noise that squeezed out part pleasure and part plea.
    Holy shit.
    She’d opened her mouth to speak when he kissed a sensitive spot behind her ear and she shivered.  
    Ryder growled like a wolf on the hunt that had just gotten a whiff of his prey.
    This was out of control. Again.  
    She put her hand on his chest and pushed back.
    He let her, but kept her within his arms. There was no way to read this man when he shuttered his expression the way he was doing right now.
    But Ryder’s gaze dropped to her mouth.
    She caught her bottom lip between her teeth. What now?
    He released her to sit back, but kept his arm looped across her shoulders.
    She’d only been kissed by two men. One man actually, since the first one had been a high school crush. An amateur.
    Bernard had been far more experienced sexually, but he’d never kissed her the way Ryder did. If Bernard had, she might not have been such a failure as a significant other.
    Her heart thumped furiously. So Ryder could kiss. Not a big surprise given his reputation growing up. She willed the crazy stirring in her body to settle down.
    Nerves and the situation had to be causing that since she’d never felt anything like it before.
    The rotor whine changed and the pilot said over his shoulder, “Landing in five minutes, Mr. Van Dyke.”
    “Okay.”
    Bianca turned to Ryder as he dipped his head, watching her face until he was close enough to whisper in her ear.
    “I don’t know what Hubrecht is up to, but we’re not headed toward the family home. I’m guessing we’re going to VDE headquarters and that concerns me.”
    “Why?” She kept her voice just as soft.
    “I have no idea what the minister relayed to Hubrecht. If Hubrecht has any reason to question the validity of our marriage, regardless of paperwork and vows, he’ll think it’s some sort of a set-up or sting. He’s not stupid and I have no idea what kind of reception we’ll have.”
    She hadn’t expected a roadblock to their mission this soon and waited for Ryder to finish.
    “I know you’re trained, but let’s be reasonable about this since both of our lives are at risk. I’ve had far more time in combat situations than you’ve had in the field. Let me assess the situation once we get there. If it goes bad, do as I say and I’ll get you out alive.”
    He was talking about splitting up? “I appreciate your offer to get me out, but I already told you, I go where you go, and vice versa.”
    Ryder’s fingers
