Chapter 28

I shouldn’t really be surprised when I found out that the Whitlocks had their private jet, but I was. Gabriel had huffed on seeing my open mouth and then said ‘you didn’t think we’d fly with other people, did you?

His plane wasn’t anything like what they show in movies. It wasnt huge with rooms or anything. It was small, a few seats. facing each other on one end, white leather couch on the other, ample of space to walk in between. There was a separate section behind with a bathroom and a shower, and a small single bed to sleep in. On the other end was a separate section for two air hostesses, and the cockpit.

Gabriel had my passport with him, and I was thoroughly impressed. Getting married in such a rush, even I didn’t know where my passport was

“Do you always take your jet?” I asked him once we were settled in, and the jet was gearing to take off.

“Almost always. He replied, watching me keenly as I looked out of the window. “Are you nervous?”

“No. I like flying.”

He raised an eyebrow, looking amused. “Couldn’t you be scared like so many girls are and hold my hand or something?”

“So many girls, huh?” I retorted, “You fly a lot of girls?

His lips pursed. “You’re the first.”

Then who told you girls are scared while taking off?”

“You’ve really never flown a girl to another country before?” I teased him, “I was under the impression that you were a pl*yboy when I married you.”

He gave me a lopsided smile. “Don’t believe everything the tabloids tell you, Freckles. I mean, I did sleep around a lot, but that starts and ends in the bedroom. You don’t fly a one-night girl to another country.”

“Hm.” I muttered, the mental image of him and countless woman in hotel rooms not sitting well with me. “So, you never a serious girlfriend?”

Gabriel paused, his unfazed facade slipping for a brief moment did. I guess.”

“Oh. That reply, I hadn’t expected. A part of me hoped it was puppy love at thirteen and he got his heart broken so he swore off love, and not an adult serious relationship. I didn’t ask more questions about it, and he didn’t offer any information.

As we took off in silence, I let myself wonder what Luna had packed for me. It didn’t matter a lot because I could shop again. We were in Italy after all, and I had a black Amex. My husband’s, but I had it, I could throw a shopping fit. He wouldn’t mind.

And the sex. There was going to be sex.

The thought of it, the very thought of being naked in the bed with the man sitting across me made me feel wet.

I had always been someone with a low sex drive to the point where I had considered going to the doctor, and I didn’t recognise this side of me. The side that was greedy for sex, hungry, passionate, even giving and not just receiving.

“Are you thinking of me, Freckles?” Gabriel broke my small reverie.

“What?”
