“I didn’t tell them anything,” Luke said with a chuckle. “They figured it out after seeing us together for twenty seconds. Are you mad about it?”
“No, not really,” I admitted. “I was just caught off guard, is all. Is Alex right?”
“In my experience, probably not.”
“I mean how she called me yourgirlfriend.”
“Oh.” Luke shrugged his broad shoulders. “It’s probably too early to attach a label to us.”
“Yeah, it probably is.”
He put a hand over mine on the armrest. “I really like whatever we are, though.”
“Me, too.” I pulled out my phone and connected to the in-flight Wi-Fi. Then I composed an email to the Salt Lake City detective working on our case. Luke leaned over to read my screen, and I didn’t bother hiding it while I typed.
“I’ve never seen you so angry before. Even in an email.”
“Yeah, well, you were right about them,” I replied, hitting send before I could change my mind. “It’s been three months since you were first attacked, and they don’t have any real leads. They’ve been sitting on their asses. And if they don’t make some headway soon, we’re going to the media. They won’t like how incompetent they look inthatstory.”
Luke leaned over and kissed my hair. “I’m glad you’re on my side, you know that?”
“Who else’s side would I be on?”
“I don’t know. Protecting some Instagram influencer?”
I snorted and lowered my voice. “This job is way better than my last one.”
“Really? Even though you’re inrealdanger protecting me?”
“For one thing, Kaylyn never fucked me the way you do.”
Luke burst out laughing. “Wait a minute. You’re kidding, right?”
I shrugged casually. “Who’s to say?”
“Now I’m imagining it.” He narrowed his eyes. “Did you ever fool around with her? Or any other girl?”
“I’m going to take a nap. Wake me when we land.”
“You can’t do that,” he complained. “You basically threw a grenade into my imagination and jumped into a trench. The best lies have a grain of truth. Maybe you’re not a lesbian, but surely you’ve made out with another girl…”
I put my headphones on and gave him a lusty smile. “Enjoy the rest of the flight.”
I struggled not to laugh as he let out a long, tortured groan.

Luke’s family, and their safety, were the main thing on his mind for the next few days. He looked sloppy at practice, running his routes slower than usual and struggling to catch the ball cleanly. I did my best to counteract this by opening a line of communication with the agents assigned to his family out in Pennsylvania.
I found other ways to distract him from his troubles. Amazon had a surprisingly robust selection of lingerie, with free next-day shipping. After dinner one night, I excused myself to the bathroom and then returned wearing a hot pink babydoll and matching lacy panties. It took Luke a few seconds to glance over at me, but then he did a cartoonish double-take.
“Your eyes look like they’re going to pop out of your head,” I said in a sultry voice.
“Something’s about to pop out of me,” he said. “But it’s not my eyes.”
I walked toward him slowly, then went to my knees in front of him. He was already rock hard as I pulled his shorts off and slowly wrapped my fingers around his thick cock. He squeezed a handful of my hair and guided me up and down as I gave him a blowjob. I savored how sexy and naughty I felt as I sucked on the tip while stroking his shaft. With previous boyfriends, I was always vaguely self-conscious about how I acted when it came to sex. With Luke, everything felt natural and easy andinsanelyhot.
Before long, his toes were curling and he was moaning that he was going to come. As soon as I felt the first gush hit my tongue, I pulled his cock out and aimed the rest of it at my impressive cleavage. His fingers tightened in my hair as he trembled and covered me with his seed.
