“This,” she said with a throaty moan. “So much this.”
Yeah, he would never tire of hearing her talk like that. He wanted to show her how much he wanted her, needed her, craved her. Wanted to show her how much he’d missed her.
But more than anything, he wanted to make sure that she wanted, needed, and craved him just as much.
And if that meant making love to her all night long and then taking her on the trip of a lifetime so she could see all the places she always wanted to see, then he was going to make it happen.
He hadn’t failed at anything he’d set his mind to, and there was no way he was going to start now.

It didn’t seem possible, but at seven the next morning, Sienna was walking back into her hotel room and packing her things. She had already planned to checkout that day, but she had also planned on getting some sleep before doing so.
At least...in her original plans.
She and Mick possibly dozed for an hour—maybe two—tops, throughout the night, and instead of feeling tired, she was energized.
And extremely satisfied.
Letting out a shaky breath, she glanced around the room and made a quick mental plan to get everything packed in an orderly fashion in the next fifteen minutes.
“I think that might be pushing my skills a bit this morning,” she murmured before taking a sip of her coffee. That was definitely a necessity in the morning for her and she made the stop at the hotel Starbucks to grab a cup before coming up to her room.
Mick had his driver bring her here while he took care of packing his things and finalizing travel plans. She still didn’t believe he was going to accomplish all that he was bragging about, but she was sure whatever he came up with was going to be fine.
Moving around the room, she began collecting her things and placing them neatly and systematically into her suitcase. This was all of her clothes for the conference, and most were going to need to go through the laundry. Hopefully they’d stay someplace that offered that service. Still, the thought of lugging dirty clothes all over the country made her twitch a little. She’d need to ask Mick about making a pit stop so she could take care of it.
Walking over to the closet, she pulled out the second suitcase that was actually packed for the vacation part of her trip. Opening it, she glanced at everything she had in there and pulled out a pair of jeans, a sweater, and knew she could stick with the boots she wore last night.
“Thank God I’m an over packer, otherwise we’d have to add shopping to one of our stops.” No doubt Mick wouldn’t have a problem with it, but she hated the thought of missing out on doing something fantastic because she needed to run into Target to buy extra clothes.
Although she wouldn’t mind running into a Victoria’s Secret and buying some new underwear. Rummaging through her suitcase, she cursed all the cotton panties and knew she was going to have to make a mall run no matter how much she didn’t want to. After all the sexy things they did last night, she wanted to look sexy.
Not that Mick seemed to mind what she had on, but Sienna knew she’d love to see the look on his face if he peeled her out of her jeans and found something slinky and lacy underneath.
“Yeah...lingerie shopping just went to the top of the list,” she told herself as she continued to pack.
A few minutes later, her phone dinged with an incoming text and she smiled when she saw Mick’s name on the screen.
Mick: Hey, beautiful. I’m all done here and ready to head over to pick you up.
Mick: We should be there in fifteen minutes. Anything you need?
She smiled at his thoughtfulness and wished it wasn’t so early in the morning. Maybe she could have gotten in some shopping before they left.
Sienna: I’m almost done here so fifteen minutes is perfect.
Sienna: Any chance we can do some shopping later on today?
Mick: Tell me what you need and I’ll arrange for it to be waiting for us
That made her chuckle. “Um...no. I’m not letting anyone buy my underwear,” she said, but figured she’d save that comment for when they were face to face.
Sienna: As much as I appreciate that, I prefer to shop for myself
Mick: Are you sure? Personal shoppers aren’t hard to come by and they are very discreet
Yeah, she didn’t even want to think about what sort of things he’d probably asked people to buy. It was better if she didn’t let her mind go in that direction, otherwise she’d probably chicken out of this trip.
Sienna: Thanks, but...I’m good
Then she waited for him to argue with her a little more, but fortunately, he didn’t.
Mick: Leaving now. See you in a few minutes
Mick: And if you change your mind, help is only a phone call away
Mick: xoxo
After she placed her phone down, she sprung into action to finish packing. When she was just about done, she called down to bell services and was relieved when they sent someone right up.
It didn’t take long to get down to the lobby and checkout at the desk. As soon as she was done, she stepped outside along with the bellhop and barely had time to look around before Mick’s car pulled up. He stepped out and kissed her thoroughly before instructing the driver to load her luggage and then tipping the bellhop.
The entire thing took less than three minutes and then she found herself in the back of the luxury SUV with Mick pressed up against her.
“Are you ready?” he murmured seductively as he placed soft kisses along her check.
Turning her head, she gave him a quick kiss on the lips. “I think so.”
He let out a low laugh. “You don’t sound so sure. Did you get my email?”
She looked at him oddly. “Email?”
“Yeah, remember I asked you for your email address before you left earlier? I wanted you to have a copy of our travel itinerary.”
“Oh, um...I haven’t looked yet.” And as curious as she was, she didn’t want to appear too anxious. “I’ll check it out when we get to the airport.” Sienna was certain they were going to be flying out of Kennedy or LaGuardia Airport and that they’d have time to kill before their flights. A few minutes later, however, she looked around in confusion. “Are we flying out of Newark?”
Mick took her hand in his and kissed it. “No. This is Teterboro Airport,” he told her. “I’ve got a plane here.”
Her eyes went wide. “You’ve got a plane here?”
All he did was nod and before she knew what was happening, they were parked and she was being ushered through a small terminal while Mick kept his hand on her lower back and directed her on where to go.
Part of Sienna was certain she was dreaming, because this certainly wasn’t her life.
At least... not her real life.
She had promised herself that one night of making love with Mick would be enough. Even if all his talk about traveling together for two weeks was just part of their pillow talk, she would be fine.
But as she buckled her seatbelt on a private jet, she could say with great certainty that the man was true to his word.
And that same man was sweeping her off her feet, even without the promise of travel.
He hadn’t taken his seat yet. He was talking to their flight crew and she was glad to have a few minutes to herself to sort of let this all sink in.
They had gotten very little sleep last night, between making love and talking. She loved how he seemed genuinely interested in her life and she was equally fascinated with his. The more they talked, the more she realized he was feeling a little disenchanted with his life. Like her, he loved what he did, but he felt like it had asked so much of him personally that he’d missed out on things.
