CHAPTER 1

Jessica Nichols

I turned my phone off and placed it on my bedside table. I stood and crossed the room to my dresser. I was going to try to put Dylan out of my mind. I had an amazing guy standing in my bedroom. An amazing guy who bought me flowers, made me breakfast, and delighted me with incredible morning sex.

I don't know if I can control myself with you parading around naked like that, said Logan.

Even after this morning? You're quite the dynamo.

Around you I feel like the Energizer Bunny.

Well, try to keep it in the towel for now, I said. I need to use the little girls room after the two cups of coffee and orange juice from breakfast. Plus, I want to shower and get all pretty for the day.

I gave Logan a soft kiss on the cheek. The stubble on his face tickled my lips.

Sorry, he said. I will need to stop by my place to finish getting ready.

No complaints. It is very sexy.

I pulled panties and a bra out of the drawer and headed toward the bathroom. I felt more relaxed after my shower. I started toward my bedroom when I heard the television from the living room. It sounded like a sports talk show. I changed direction toward the living room.

What are you thinking for today? I asked. I need to plan my wardrobe.

Logan muted the sound on the television. He was watching Sports Center on ESPN. Must be a universal guy thing.

How about Napa Valley? My uncle owns a small vineyard. I was thinking a private tour, dinner, and a little wine, of course, Logan said. There is also a cute little B&B near the vineyard.

That sounds wonderful. But isn't Napa Valley a little far?

Not if we fly, responded Logan with a boyish excitement.

Fly? That seems rather extravagant.

I have my pilot's license and own a small plane with some friends. It's my weekend to use the plane.

I didn't know that you were a pilot. How small is the plane? I asked a bit nervously.

I've been flying since I was fifteen. I got my license at seventeen. So I have over ten years and thousands of hours under my belt. The plane has four seats. Two front and two back.

I don't doubt your experience. But just four seats? That seems pretty small.

Small compared to a jet. But not for the average general aviation aircraft. It's a Cessna Skyhawk. It is the world's most popular aircraft and very safe. It is a calm day, so it will be a smooth flight. I promise. It's a lot of fun. But we can do something else, if you prefer. I don't want to terrify you. At least not this early into our dating.

I'm not sure there is much you can do about my nerves. But it does sound like fun. A bit of an adventure. . . Okay. I'm game.

Great. But it's no problem if you change your mind. Even once we are up in the air. I can turn us back and we can go to a plan b.

Fair enough, I said. Just let me finish getting dressed and pack an overnight bag.

I headed to my bedroom and put on jeans and a casual t-shirt. I figured that it might get chilly later, so I grabbed a light sweater out of my drawer. I pulled my overnight bag out of my closet and added clothes for the next day and my toiletries kit.

I realized that I was humming and had a smile on my face. A weekend away with Logan is just what I needed. I was still a bit nervous about the thought of flying in a small plane, but Logan was a cautious and well prepared guy. I knew that everything would be fine.

I zipped up my bag and pulled it off the bed by its handles. I reached over for my cell phone. I would need to turn it on to text Katie. I hoped there were no other messages on it. My phone came to life. No messages.

I texted Katie my plans. She responded that she was spending the day with Holly and Marissa. She joked that they
