Book Excerpts
Excerpt #1
“Flight seven seven seven to Vegas
is now boarding.”
Caitlyn Myers grabbed her faux
Louis Vuitton bag and nudged her fiancé, who dozed in the uncomfortable plastic
chair beside her. “Wake up, Simon. They’re calling us.”
Simon stirred, and two bleary eyes
blinked up at her. “Caitlyn? What is it?”
Cait snapped her fingers together
in front of his face. “The plane, Simon. It’s time. We can board now.”
Sunlight poured through the glass
at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Cait reached for her shoes, but she
paused to admire the sparkles given by the huge diamond solitaire on the ring
finger of her left hand.
It had come as a complete surprise
when Simon popped the question early that morning. She’d suspected he would
ask, but not until Valentine’s Day which wasn’t until tomorrow. The biggest
surprise had been Simon’s decision to elope. Cait had said yes, and they’d
headed straight to the airport after a frenzied packing session.
Two non-refundable coach tickets
were booked. Now, they prepared to board the plane that would take them to
their happily
ever after.
Cait wanted to squeal in delight but didn’t.
Simon got to his feet and lazily
stretched. The hem of his shirt lifted, and a small strip of tanned, muscular
skin appeared.
Cait sighed with happiness. She
couldn’t ask for a better fiancé. Simon was sexy and successful, and best of
all, he wanted to marry her despite her many flaws.
Simon reached for his expensive
leather satchel and slung it over his shoulder. Cait slipped her feet into pink
high heels and then straightened. Simon waited with a strained smile as she
tugged the hem of her tight miniskirt back into place.
“Are you ready, honey?”
Cait’s insides melted at the sound
of Simon’s deep voice. She stopped fiddling with her clothes and gave him an
adoring smile. “Yes, I’m so excited!”
Simon chuckled and slipped an arm
around her waist to lead her to the gate. When she wore heels, which was pretty
much every day, Simon was not much taller than her. Cait felt protected in his
embrace nonetheless.
They boarded the plane with no
trouble at all and claimed their seats on the wing. She’d once read the wing
was the safest part of the plane, and since she was a nervous flier, she was
not taking any chances. She’d picked out the best seats she could find. Simon
had argued about having to fly coach, but Cait had finally convinced him.
Caitlyn fastened her seat
restraint while Simon put away their bags. Once the strap was tightened, and
she was safe as she could be, she turned to gaze out the window at a clear blue
sky.
It was a beautiful February day, a
perfect day to elope. She pushed the niggling thought that she was rushing into
the wedding out of her mind. This is what she wanted. Wasn’t it?
