  Smacking me on the ass, Emmit kissed me quickly on the lips. “I’m taking a quick shower.”

  Emmit reached under my skirt and adjusted my panties as he gave me a wink before heading to the bedroom. I couldn’t pull my eyes away from his perfectly toned body. When he rounded the corner, I dropped to the ground and leaned my head against the back of the sofa.

  Looking up, I silently said a prayer. “Please don’t let this be a dream.”

  I pulled my knees to my chest and rubbed my fingers lightly across my lips as I smiled. Something amazing happened between us just then. I knew Emmit felt it as well. I could see it in his eyes.

  Covering my mouth, I smiled bigger.

  Everything was perfect.

  “EMMIT, WE REALLY DON’T HAVE to fly back to Texas right now,” Adaline said as we walked hand in hand to my private plane.

  I shook my head as I grinned. “Now that I’ve got you back, I don’t want to let you go for any reason. I want you staying with me.”

  Adaline giggled and dropped her head onto my arm as we walked. “This feels like a dream.”

  I stopped and turned Adaline to face me as my eyes took in her beautiful features. “I can assure you, baby, this is not a dream.”

  Adaline scrunched her nose up in that adorable way she does, and shook her head. “My body certainly wouldn’t feel this way if it was a dream.”

  Tilting my head, I gave her an inquisitive stare. “How does your body feel, Addie?”

  I had to catch my breath when Adaline’s eyes lit up and she took in a sharp breath before whispering, “On fire.”

  As I placed both hands on her delicate face, I couldn’t help but notice how my heart felt as if it were floating. I’d never been so happy in my entire life. “I love you, Addie.”

  Closing my eyes, I tried to find the words to let her know how much I loved her. “I would do anything for you. Anything. The rush I’ve always longed for and got from racing, is nothing compared to the rush I get when we make love. Or when you tell me you love me. You. Are. My. Life.”

  A single tear rolled down Adaline’s cheek as she threw herself into me and wrapped her arms around me. “Emmit, I love you. God, I love you so very much.”

  Squeezing my eyes shut, I held her tightly to me. Pulling back, I went to say something when my eye caught someone. Looking over Adaline’s shoulder, I saw Stephanie.

  What in the hell is she doing here?

  Adaline must have seen my stunned expression because she turned to see what I was looking at. Stephanie smiled as she walked toward us. “Good morning Emmit, Adaline. I hope your morning is starting out good.”

  Wrapping my arm around Adaline, I pulled her closer to my side. “What’s up, Stephanie?”

  “I wanted to make sure you had everything you needed before you left for Texas. I tried to call you this morning, but it went straight to voicemail.”

  Relaxing a bit, I gave Stephanie a slight smile. “Nah, I think we’re good. We will be flying back tomorrow morning so I won’t be gone but twenty-four hours.”

  Stephanie nodded her head as she pulled out a file from her bag. “Sounds good. I just need you to sign this. It’s for that delivery you have scheduled.”

  When we were younger, Adaline had always talked about wanting a paint horse. There had been a paint I had driven by for the last two years that I loved. One call to the owner and I had her bought and arranged for delivery this weekend.

  “Oh right. That’s Saturday, correct?”

  Stephanie smiled bigger and said, “Yes.”

  With a nod of my head, I took the paper and signed it. “Thanks, Steph. We’ll be back tomorrow.”

  “Have fun!” Stephanie said as she gave us a smile and a quick wave of her hand as she turned and headed off.

  As I took Adaline’s arm and led her to the plane, she asked, “What do you have being delivered?”

  I attempted to hold back my smile as I said, “It’s a surprise for you, baby.”

  Knowing how much Adaline loved surprises, I knew it would drive her insane while she tried to figure out what it was.

  “For me?” Adaline said with a jump of joy as she bolted up the stairs to the airplane. I loved seeing her this happy. My goal was to make her happy like this every single day.

  The moment Adaline stepped onto the plane she let out a gasp. “Holy crap. Emmit, this plane is amazing.”

  Smiling, I took in the new private jet I had purchased six months ago. It had six-oversized beige seats in the front of the plane and behind the chairs was a table with four smaller leather seats and a sofa that lined the opposite wall.

  Adaline walked down the aisle and took everything in. Turning to face me, she flashed a sexy as hell smile. “What’s behind the door?”

  As I took a few steps closer to her, I returned her smile with one of my own. Adaline licked her lips as she let out a soft whimper. “A bedroom and bathroom.”

  Adaline took a step back and bumped into the table. “A bedroom?”

  Before I had the chance to say anything else, a male voice from behind me cleared their throat. Lifting my finger, I spoke softly to Adaline, “Give me one second.”

  Adaline nodded her head as I turned to see the pilot standing before me. Reaching my hand out, I gave Lee a quick, but firm handshake.

  “Lee, I’d like you to meet my fiancé, Adaline Morgan. Adaline, this is Lee Cross. Retired Navy pilot turned NASCAR fan. He flies for a few NASCAR drivers.”

  Adaline approached Lee with a shy smile. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Adaline.” Lee said as he glanced between the two of us. I’d never brought a girl on my plane before and I was sure he was wondering where Adaline came from.

  “The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Cross.”

  “Please, call me Lee.” Glancing in my direction, Lee cleared his throat and started to give me the flight details. “Looks like we are in for a smooth flight today. Weather is great the whole way.”

  With a quick nod, I said, “Perfect. We’re only here for a quick trip. I’d like to fly back out first thing tomorrow morning if that works.”

  Lee nodded and said, “Sounds like a solid plan. If anything changes, just give me a text.”

  I extended my hand out to him as I gave him a quick pat on the arm. “Perfect. Thanks, Lee.”

  “Sure thing, Emmit.”

  As I turned back to Adaline, I couldn’t help but notice how she was taking everything in. I knew all of this was a shock to her. I basically threw her into this world of mine.

  “Do you have a flight attendant too?” she asked as she ran her hand along the back of one of the chairs. Turning to face me, she plopped down in it. I took a seat across from her and said, “Yeah. Brice should be popping out any minute now.”

  Adaline raised an eyebrow and asked, “Brice? It’s a man?”

  God how I loved this woman. Letting out a chuckle, I nodded my head and said, “Yes ma’am. He’s the best card player I’ve ever met. He knows how to keep my mind off of flying.”

  Adaline’s eyes turned dark as she lifted her finger and slowly brushed it across her lower lip. “I bet I know a way of keeping your mind off of flying.”

  My dick jumped in my pants as my heart rate hit an all time record beats per minute. “Is that so?”

  “Mr. Lewis, would you like me to bring you and Ms. Morgan some drinks?”

  Adaline looked up and smiled as she dropped her hand to her lap. Never taking my eyes off of her, I shook my head and stood up. “I think Ms. Morgan and I will be fine for a bit, Brice. If I need anything, I’ll be sure to let you know.”

  “Very well, I’ll be up front then.”

  Adaline’s eyes snapped back up to mine as she slowly stood up. “Emmit, my heart is beating so fast. I feel like—” Adaline laughed and said, “I don’t know how I feel!”

  I pulled her toward me and kissed her softly on the lips. “I feel the same way, pumpkin.”

  Lee’s voice came over the speakers as I brushed a piece of hair away
from Adaline’s face.

  “Mr. Lewis we’ve been cleared for takeoff. If you could please take yours seats, we’ll be taxing in less than five minutes.”

  I reached for the seat belts and buckled Adaline in. She had a pale blue skirt on with a light yellow shirt. The way her blue eyes stood out against the yellow was amazing.

  My hand slowly moved up her leg and under her skirt as her chest moved faster with her increased breathing. Closing her eyes, she softly spoke my name. “Emmit.”

  I reached further up and smiled when my fingers brushed across her panties. “Soon, Addie, I’m going to make love to you.”

  Gripping onto the armrests, Adaline mumbled something incoherent.

  I pulled my hand out and quickly took a seat next to Adaline as I tried to control my own racing heart.

  There was no way in hell I would ever be able to wipe the grin from my face. No way in hell.

  Adaline reached for my hand as she gave me a smile and a wink as the plane started its journey to the runway.

  “Here we go,” Adaline said with a giggle.

  My eyes lifted as I gazed upon Adaline curled up in a chair reading what I guessed was a book on her phone. Stephanie had sent a text asking if we could Skype about a problem that came up regarding a commercial I was scheduled to shoot in two weeks. It was something that could have waited, but she had made the text seem like it was an emergency. I wasn’t sure what her deal was, she never before bothered me with this kind of shit.

  “That’s fine, Steph. Just reschedule for the next time I have an opening.”

  “Would you like to do it over your off week?” Stephanie asked.

  “No, not over my week off, I have plans.”

  Stephanie remained silent before asking, “What plans?”

  I was stunned for a moment by her invasion of my privacy. “Personal plans. If that’s all, I’ve got to run.”

  “O-okay, no I believe that’s it.”

  “Hey, Steph?”

  “Yes, Emmit?”

  I took in a breath and slowly pushed it out. “Let’s try not to bother me with anything that can wait until I get back okay? It’s really important for me to spend this time with Adaline.”

  “Yes, yes of course, Emmit. I’ll talk to you when you get into town.”

  With a grin, I nodded and said, “Perfect. Thanks, Steph.”

  I hit End on my lap top and stood up. As I made my way over to Adaline, I silenced my phone and tossed it onto the sofa. I stopped in front of her and looked down as she slowly lifted her head and gave me a smile that caused my stomach to dip.

  “You done?” she asked as she slowly stood up.

  As I lifted Adaline up, she let out a small yelp. “She won’t be bothering us again.”

  Adaline ran her fingers lightly through my hair. “Good. I’m ready to become a member of the mile high club.”

  My heart fluttered as I quickly took off for the bedroom. Reaching for the door, I pushed it open and walked through as Adaline started to giggle. I gave the door a swift kick shut and walked over to the bed.

  Adaline laughed as I dropped her onto the bed. Taking a few steps back, I slowly sat down in the large leather chair. “Undress yourself, Addie.” I said softly as my eyes traveled over her body.

  The way Adaline’s body shivered had me reaching down and adjusting my hardening dick.

  Adaline slowly stood as she gave me the sexiest look I’d ever seen. “Jesus, Addie. I could come just looking at you.”

  Her smile grew bigger across her face as she lifted her shirt and pulled it over her head. Tossing it lightly to the floor, Adaline pushed her finger into her mouth and pulled it out. She ran it softly down her body as she took a step closer to me.

  “I want you so badly, Emmit. I can feel how wet I am for you.”

  My eyes closed as I dropped my head back while a low growl escaped from my mouth. “Fucking hell, Addie.”

  Adaline placed both hands on the armrest of my chair as she licked her lips. “It’s your turn to take something off.”

  I swallowed hard and quickly unzipped my pants. Lifting my ass, I pulled them down as Adaline watched my every move. With one quick move, Adaline stood and unclasped her bra.

  Jesus. I am going to come just looking at her.

  Adaline reached down and ran her fingers lightly across my dick. Moaning, I reached down and grabbed myself. She pulled her hand back and slowly pushed her skirt down, kicking it off to the side. Adaline stood before me in nothing but a sexy pair of pink panties. Her hands moved up to her breast as she dropped her head back and played with her nipples.

  “Fuck yeah that looks hot, Addie.”

  With each whimper and moan, my dick got harder and harder, to the point it was painful.

  Addie slipped her hand into her panties, and I about flew out of the fucking chair. Pumping my dick harder, I fought to find the words to speak. “Addie . . . need . . . oh God!”

  Dropping her head back down, Adaline crawled on top of me and started to grind against me. I reached for her hips and pulled her closer to me.

  “Emmit, oh Emmit!” Addie cried out as I pulled her lips to mine. Our kiss was passionate and Adaline’s body trembled, telling me she was close.

  Adaline grabbed onto my shoulders and began to grind harder as she moaned into my mouth. Something about being so close, yet separated by the thin pieces of fabric was turning me on even more.

  Adaline’s entire body shook as her orgasm raced through her. I pulled my mouth from her mouth and gasped, “I need inside you now.”

  I’d never seen Adaline move as fast as she did. Standing, she pulled her panties off then reached for my shirt. Ripping it over my head, she placed her hands on my bare chest.

  “I’m going to take my time with you baby.”

  The smile that spread across her face caused my heart to drop. The things this girl did to me were insane.

  Adaline sat on the bed and slowly moved back until she was lying down. Her body called to me as I crawled over her, slowly placing gentle kisses over her body. Stopping my lips just inches from hers, I smiled and whispered, “You’re mine.”

  My heart felt as if it was going to burst right through my chest as Adaline lifted her hand and gently placed it on the side of my face.

  Pressing her lips together, a single tear rolled down her beautiful face as she said, “Forever yours.”

  Four Months Later

  AS THE BUS PULLED OUT of Bristol Motor speedway, I sat curled up on the sofa while Emmit took a few minutes to himself. He had finished third after leading most of the race. Malcolm had bumped him in turn four with three laps to go, causing Emmit to get loose and lose two spots. Needless to say, Emmit was not happy Malcolm won the race.

  My phone buzzed as I picked it up and read the text message from my father.

  Dad: He’ll cool down soon enough. Just give him some time.

  Smiling, I shook my head and hit reply.

  Me: I know, Daddy. He seems really tired.

  Dad: It’s an off week. Why don’t y’all go somewhere, get his mind off of racing and onto other things.

  My face blushed as I pursed my lips together. I knew my father wasn’t meaning it how I took it. The idea of spending some alone time with Emmit had me feeling all kinds of giddy.

  Me: Emmit has a trip planned. He hasn’t said anything to me about it. I think it’s a surprise.

  Dad: Let’s see if he can top the last surprise! Call me tomorrow baby girl.

  Me: Okay, Dad. Love you and mom!

  I dropped my phone into my lap and smiled as I thought back to the day I got Dakota, my brown and white paint.

  “No peeking, Addie!”

  I held onto Emmit’s hands as he led me down a path. I hadn’t had a chance to wander around Emmit’s property yet, but I did know he had a small track for racing go-carts, a barn, a large tank filled with bass, and a range he used for shooting his bow.

  “I’m not peeking I promise!” I said with a giggle. Tak
ing in a breath, I snarled my lip. Did Emmit have cows?

  “Is that cow crap I smell?”

  Emmit laughed and said, “Close . . . but not close enough.”

  We came to a stop and my body shuddered when I felt Emmit’s lips against the sensitive skin under my ear. “Are you ready?”

  Nodding my head like a five year old in a candy store, I quickly said, “Yes! I’ve been ready.”

  The moment the blindfold was removed, I took a second to adjust my eyes. Looking over Emmit’s shoulder I saw her. A beautiful brown and white paint horse. Robby Quick, who was a part of Emmit’s pit crew, stood next to her holding her reins.

  My hands went to my mouth as I tried like hell not to cry. Emmit placed his hand on my lower back and guided me over to her. “She’s yours, baby.”

  It felt as if I was walking on cloud nine as I walked right up to her and ran my hand over her beautiful body. Bobbing her head, she let out a whine and turned to me.

  “What’s her name?” I asked, as I looked her over.

  Emmit walked up and gave her a good pat. “Dakota.”

  Leaning in closer to her, I pressed my face into her side and took in a deep breath. My face was beginning to hurt from smiling so big.

  Turning to Emmit, I threw myself into his arms and buried my face into his neck. “Oh, Emmit! She’s beyond beautiful! Thank you!”

  Emmit spun me around as he laughed and said, “I’m so glad you like her, pumpkin.”

  The moment my feet touched the ground again, I turned back to my beauty. “Like her? I love her!”

  “What’s the smile for?”

  Emmit’s voice pulled me from my memory as I glanced up and took in his beautiful sight. His body was perfect. He worked out six days a week, and ran at least two miles. Lola and I did good trying to keep up with him on his runs. I was pretty sure she was happy when I came into the scene since my stride was much slower than Emmit’s. He ran circles around me.

  “I was thinking back to the day you gave me Dakota.”

  The grin that spread across Emmit’s face made me feel better. I knew he was angry. Not at me, but at what had happened on the racetrack. He usually needed a few hours to himself and then he was calmed down.
