After a week of her crazy family, Aynslee had been ready to change out of her bridesmaid’s dress and rush to the airport so she could get home. But that would have been too easy. When she went to change, her suitcase was nowhere to be found. She soon learned from Quinn that Aunt Fern must have “accidentally” taken her suitcase.

Fantastic.

So now she was stuck wearing the stupid pink bridesmaid’s dress, her boobs on display for God and everyone to see, while her feet ached in the stripper shoes that Lane wanted all of her bridesmaids to wear. With each painful step she took, the more she cursed herself for making the trip to Buffalo in the first place. She should have just stayed home and given some stupid excuse as to why she and her made-up boyfriend couldn’t attend. Good Lord, her cousin had five other bridesmaids to round out the wedding album, so one less would not have been missed. The only thing that kept Aynslee from balling up into a fetal position on the airplane seat and crying her eyes out was her cup of caramel macchiato from Starbucks. Thank God for Starbucks. Thank God for the sexy hottie it looked like she was going to be sitting next to on the flight.

Hello, sex on legs.

She had never been attracted to someone as suddenly as she was at that moment. He held her gaze for maybe a second before he looked down to situate his yellow neck pillow. She couldn’t keep her eyes off him as she put her laptop case up in the overhead bin, making sure to grab her Kindle and her own blue neck pillow. She knew for a fact that reading the new Kristan Higgins would never happen on this trip, especially with Mr. Sex sitting right beside her. But she had to act as if she was doing something, or she’d more than likely stare at him the whole flight back. Not that that didn’t sound like fun.

Exhausted from the day, Aynslee practically fell into the seat beside him. She crossed her legs and rested her coffee on the seat beside her knee as she buckled her seat belt. Letting out a breath, she looked over, hoping to lock eyes with him. Thankfully, he did look over at her, but as her luck would have it, she didn’t receive a nice smile or a hello. Instead, she got a lap full of her hot coffee.

“Ack!” Aynslee yelped as she jumped up, her Kindle going one way while her neck pillow went another.

“Shit,” a deep voice said from beside her. “I’m so sorry. Can we have some napkins?” he said, the first to her and the next to the flight attendant who happened to be near their row.

Aynslee was speechless and totally forgot the coffee as she looked up into Mr. Sex’s beautiful face. He was gorgeous and had long legs that made her think he was super tall. He had a strong jawline and light-blue eyes that were framed by thick brows. His nose was on the larger side, but she found it hot. Hell, everything about this man was hot. His lips were full, and his jaw was covered in stubbly hair. He had dark wavy hair that curled behind his ears and fell messily along his forehead. She had the craziest urge to run her fingers through it. And then lick him.

Everywhere.

His eyes were filled with concern as he helped her pat her dress dry, apologizing over and over again.

“It’s okay, it was an accident,” she reassured him.

She was proud of herself for being able to speak, but when he looked at her, Aynslee promptly forgot how to talk. Her dress was also forgotten as they stared at each other.

Holy fireworks, Batman!

“Ma’am, your things,” someone said, but Aynslee couldn’t tear her eyes from his.

He glanced away first, freeing her from his intense gaze. She then turned and thanked a nice older lady for retrieving her things.

As the woman went back to her seat, Aynslee used her free hand to pat the wet spot on her dress.

“I am really sorry.”

She knew if she looked at him again she wouldn’t be able to stop staring, so she just nodded as she continued to pat.

“It’s okay.”

“Do you have something you can change into before we take off?” Aynslee shook her head. “Nope. This is all I have.”

She peeked over at him, and he seemed stricken. “I feel horrible.”

She smiled as she waved him off. “Don’t worry about it. Happens all the time.” “It does?” he asked.

“Actually, this is the first time it has happened to me.”

He let out a hearty chuckle that caused her stomach to flutter with want. Jesus, he was

hot.

“That makes this even worse.”

“No, I mean it, it’s okay. It will be a nice memory and a great story to tell my friends.”
