“Not when you’re me sitting on this side of the cabin,” Selena retorted.
Jordan’s gaze crept over to her, dark and intense. “Don’t make me turn this thing around and take you back to my bedroom. I have handcuffs.”
Selena’s eyes lurched, and her stomach tumbled. Jordan pulled in his bottom lip with the ridge of his perfectly aligned teeth and winked with a naughty grin.
Feeling daring, Selena spoke, “Maybe later…”
At the arch of Jordan’s brow, Selena nodded.
“Have you ever been bound before, Selena?”
Another wave of butterflies scurried through her. She cleared her throat. “Um, no.”
Jordan’s leering smile touched her skin, and instantly, Selena became hot. She turned her head just as a blush rushed to her brown cheeks. Outside, the city of Chicago was a beautiful sight to behold. The landscape was unparalleled. Skyscrapers and high-rise buildings filled the city with a display of mirages. They cruised past The Willis and Hancock Tower before coming across Millennium Park.
“Wow,” Selena crooned. “The bean is beautiful from up here,” she said, referring to the cloud gate stainless steel structure that sat as the centerpiece of Millennium Park.
“Beautiful indeed.”
Jordan circled the square, allowing Selena to get the best view.
“Look,” she pointed, “we’re caught in the bean’s reflection!”
Jordan followed her gaze and caught a glimpse of the helicopter hovering in the reflection of the cornerstone. They lingered a while longer when Selena sighed and sat back, satisfied.
“Ready for our next venture?”
“Sure am.”
“Hold on to your seat.”
Jordan navigated the helicopter to the left hitting a sharp turn.
“Eek!” Selena shrieked as her insides fumbled, and a fast-paced thrill slid through her.
Jordan laughed as they flew over more high-rises.
“You like giving me heart palpations, don’t you,” she asked.
Jordan’s smile drew back, and he pinned Selena with a dangerous glower.
“Every chance I get,” he responded.
Another thrill of energy slipped through Selena. If being with Jordan was going to be like this, she would be in for a rollercoaster ride of a relationship.
They cruised downtown, and it came with another round of picturesque scenery.
“I’ve been living here all my life and never knew just how beautiful Chicago was.”
“Being this high makes you appreciate things.”
“That is so true. Thank you, Jordan.”
“Don’t thank me yet.”
The helicopter took another wild turn, and Selena shrieked again. Jordan guffawed.
“You’re doing that on purpose!” She yelled.
