“No one can see us,” he softly said against her lips.

Her heart continued to thud but she relaxed a little. Feeling excited and also missing his kiss for that night, she kissed him back.

Her soft moans were drowned during the take off. The jet soaring high combined with the passionate kiss made her feel as though she were floating away into space with only him as her anchor.

Her head spun and she clutched his shoulders while his tongue slipped between her lips and kissed her. The taste of him was addicting and she couldn’t get enough.

She didn’t know how long they kissed. But by the time he pulled away and she was trying to catch her breath, the flight was already stable in the sky. She could hear conversations and giggling from other students.

“Someone might come,” she whispered.

“No. The flight staff has been instructed not to allow anyone to get up from their seats. The bathrooms are at the front. So, we have the entire hour to ourselves.”

Her cheeks heated at his husky tone.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were coming?” she asked.

“Because I wasn’t planning to. Someone changed my mind.”

“Who is that someone?” she asked in a breathless whisper.

He caught her face and placed another scorching kiss. “You,” he replied huskily.

Her heart raced. She touched his cheek and ran her fingers on the slightly rough stubble of his jaw. “Why?” she asked.

He had a rugby tournament the coming week, which meant that had he not come to Nitya’s engagement, they wouldn’t have possibly got to see each other. The thought of it had been bothering her all the while. Until she realized he felt the same, too.

She thought he wouldn’t reply to her question and simply kiss her again. But he did.

“Because I like you,” he said. And then bending his head, he spoke against her lips. “And because I want you.”

He pulled her into a kiss again and she returned it equally passionately. She liked him, too. And she more than wanted him.

She was lost when their kiss went on and on. When he pulled away, she opened her eyes to see why. There was a woman standing next to them with a cart. Ava’s face caught fire as the woman smiled at them.

“Sorry for the interruption, Mr. Simha. Here is the dinner you ordered.”

The woman placed two plates on the small table in front of them. She then opened a carryout bag and served sandwiches on the plates along with fries and milkshakes.

“Enjoy your meal,” the woman said with a smile before leaving.

Ava stared at the meal. It was just like each night when he snuck into her bedroom with dinner. Only now, they were up in the sky while having their meal.

Leaning towards him, she kissed him on his cheek. “Thank you for dinner.”

He caught her head and placed a hard kiss on her lips. “You are welcome.”

With her heart racing with excitement and bursting with happiness, they had their meal together.

Much later, when the pilot announced that the flight would be landing soon, her tormentor got up from the seat. “See you later,” he said before kissing her again and disappearing.

She smiled as she ran her tongue over her lips. Her tormentor’s kiss tasted like a dark chocolate milkshake.

*****

She didn’t get a chance to meet him again that night.

From the moment the flight landed, things turned exciting and chaotic. Nitya was bouncing with excitement while they all drove to the place where the engagement ceremony would be held the next day.
