Looks like it’s going to be a bumpy ride. 6 Mile High Club TURBULENCE By Anne Leland CHAPTER ONE Who traveled at this hour of the night? Or should she say morning? At two o’clock in the morning, even the birds were safe in their nests sleeping. As Laura Seraph visually inspected the smooth silver steel of the puddle-jumper, she re-tucked her stray wisps of hair under her baseball cap. Emblazoned with the Crystal Air logo, the hat had been part of her daily wardrobe for so long, she was surprised it hadn’t sealed itself to her tawny-brown curls. Now here they had her going on another emergency run in hours best kept by vampires. Sleep fused her brain so tight she couldn’t even remember who called her and what she was required to fix when she got there, but, somehow, she’d made it to the runway at least. Laura climbed up the slightly rusted steps, stepped onto the plane and peeked into the cabin to wave a quick “hello” to the pilot. A squat man with a mustache waved back. Charles Langford, or “ol’ Chuck” as regulars called him. Good. Tonight’s flight would be a comfortable one. She walked to the back of the cabin, helping herself to a bottle of water from the galley along the way. There wouldn’t be any stewardesses tonight, nor passengers. Just her, Chuck, and the calm serenity of the pitch black sky. One of the few and far between perks of being a mechanic for an out-of-date, under-funded airline. Maybe she could procure a job with one of the larger airlines, but then she’d have to deal with schedules and corporate mucks that 7 Mile High Club based their decisions on shareholders. Crystal Air, though not perfect, was family. Family complete with a black sheep or two. Like her new trainee. Jack couldn’t tell a rivet from his asshole. They’d hired him right out of trade school and, from what Laura could tell so far, he’d obviously conned his teachers into passing him or cheated his way through. Cocky as all hell, he wouldn’t listen to directives, either. She’d been cocky in her younger days, too, but at least she’d known what the blazes she was doing. She plopped down in the window seat of the second row, swung her legs up, and stretched them across the vacant seat next to her. Tucking the bottle of water into the pouch of the seat in front of her, she settled into the position, attempting to find a comfort zone to ride out the duration of the two-hour flight. Pulling the brim of her cap down to shade her eyes, she crossed her arms and tried to relax. Hopefully, she’d catch a catnap along the way. Before the pilot even closed the main hatch, Laura drifted off into a dreamless slumber. She never heard the other passenger slip onto the plane, or sit down in the seat across from her. The sound of the engines roaring to life only served to propel her deeper into sleep and closer to her fate. 8 Mile High Club CHAPTER TWO A sharp pain at the base of her skull jarred Laura’s eyes open. As she struggled to clear the remnants of sleep from her brain, her head flopped up, then cracked down against the airplane window bringing another searing slice of agony to her skull. Turbulence. Damn. The airplane wobbled from side to side, then dove into a swoop, lurching her stomach as if she rode the Black Widow roller-coaster at Valley Fair. She scrambled to sit upright before her head met the walls of the airplane again. “You really should wear your seatbelt.” The deep voice instantly snatched the last trace of sleep from her brain. She shifted sideways in her seat to find the source of the command. The sight of the mystery man nearly knocked her back into unconsciousness. Long black hair curving to meet his linebacker shoulders, white t- shirt fitting snug along the surge of muscles underneath, trailing to a set of massive thighs encased in denim—gorgeous, buff, perfection. But who was he and what the hell was he doing on her flight? “What are you doing here?” He narrowed his gaze. “A little short on manners today?” This hunky stranger who obviously stowed away on her airplane was giving her a lecture on manners? Some people had a hell of a lot of nerve. “How did you get on the plane?” “I walked through the door.” “Look, this isn’t a joke.” She stood up and made her way to the aisle. Chuck could notify the authorities, and they could lock themselves in the cockpit until they landed in case this dark-haired goon had thoughts of taking over the aircraft. A violent bump of air jolted the plane and she careened backward like some cartoon character flailing off the edge of a cliff. She landed against a hard wall of muscle and musk, as two strong arms encircled 9 Mile High Club her torso, propping her up, bracing her for the next bounce of turbulence. The sexy stranger pulled her backward until she sat down on his lap as if sitting in a comfortable chair. He grabbed a set of buckles and strapped her to him, before she could even think to protest. Laura wriggled around, searching for the latch to release the buckle. “Sit still.” He commanded. “Let me go, you jerk.” “Jerk? I saved you from breaking your neck.” So he did. One point for her rescue, but she still wasn’t going to stay strapped to him. She found the metal edge of the latch. His hand clamped around hers and he pushed her arm away from the buckle. “I said, sit still.” The plane lurched and dove, dragging any undigested contents of her stomach along for the ride. He relaxed his grip on her hand. “Look, let’s just get past this turbulence, then you can move wherever you like.” She nodded. The airplane shuddered, bombarded by continual pockets of air. Attempting to get up again right now would be tantamount to suicide. A small part of her—growing bigger by the moment— protested, not wanting to get up from the comfort and safety of her mystery man’s lap. The thick fabric of her jumpsuit didn’t diminish the heat and hardness of his muscular frame. If she could conjure up a fantasy, he’d definitely make the top of the list. Still, what was he doing here? For all she knew, she was getting hot and bothered over a terrorist. “So, you still haven’t told me, what are you doing on this plane?” “I called in a favor from a friend.” “This is a secured flight. You shouldn’t be on it.” “I have friends in high places.” She could feel his grin, even though she couldn’t see it. Laura didn’t buy his act of innocence anymore than she could quell her curiosity about the thick ridge of muscle pressing against the seat of her pants. “Must be nice. What is it that you do?” “I’m a paranormal investigator of sorts.” “A what?” 10
