“All set, George?”
“Yes, sir. We’re all good here. Once you two get settled and find your seats, I’ll have the stairs up and us in the air, no problem.”
Hollis nodded as I sat at my usual window seat. “Sounds good. You’re the man, George.”
The pilot was right, and soon we were flying, high above the clouds below.
Hollis sat next to me, wrapping my hand in his atop the armrest.
Our eyes met, and I smiled. He matched the look but seemed nervous.
I couldn’t think of a reason why, so I asked. “What’s wrong?”
“Me? Oh, nothing. Just thinking.”
“Uh-oh… You better be careful. I wouldn’t want you to pull a muscle or anything.”
He rolled his eyes. “Yeah, yeah. Very funny. But, actually, I was thinking about you and me.”
My eyebrows arched. “Oh, yeah? What about us?”
“Oh, you know… mushy stuff. Mostly just how happy I am with where we are – how it could keep going on like this between us forever, and I would be perfectly satisfied, only wondering how I managed to get so lucky.”
I blushed and smiled sweetly. “Well, that’s good because I was kind of thinking that I might keep sticking around. We do live together, after all.”
I laughed but saw how serious he was. I squeezed his hand tightly. “I love you. You’re right; it has been a very good year. I hope we have many more just like it.”
The words were as true as any could be, coupled with the thrill of stirring emotion racking my heart.
Hollis’s eyes were filled with feeling. “I love you, Tisha.”
A warmth passed through my body, leading to a longing that needed more than just words to express. I glanced toward the cockpit door and back to Hollis, the sensuous idea taking hold.
“Hey, would you mind getting up and shutting the curtain? The, uh… light by the door… it, um, hurts my eyes.”
“Oh, okay. Yeah, sure thing.”
Hollis rose, unsuspecting anything, and quietly closed us off from the lavatory and captain beyond.
“Is that better? What about the lights in here? I’m guessing that you want to catch some shuteye before we land?”
I shook my head as he sat again next to me. “No, these lights are fine. And… I’m not really in the mood to fall asleep.”
Quietly I stood and stepped in front of him, bending down to raise the armrests on either side of his chair. Slowly I pulled my skirt up my legs and kneeled down, straddling Hollis and wrapping my wrists around his neck.
His surprise quickly faded, finding humor instead as his eyes darted back to the curtain.
“Ah, I see… the old, ‘light hurts my eyes,’ trick.”
I leaned down, my hair falling over my shoulders and covering us like a blonde waterfall as I kissed him.
I twisted back, reaching between our legs and pulling at his belt. He sighed and smiled. “You know, I do feel somewhat manipulated.”
I dismounted and slipped off my panties, letting them drop to my ankles before kicking them away. I kneeled in the aisle and felt him through his pants, pulling back the seams at the zipper and spreading the big opening in his boxers until, at last, his cock was free.
I leaned in and looked up, his shaft in hand and head resting on my chin. “Do you really mind, though?”
He smiled and shook his head vigorously. “Not at all. In fact, I think I love it when you manipulate me.”
