Benjamin's eyes flashed. “Over who's a better pilot.”

Avrissa laughed. “I don't even know how to fly a plane!”

“You are suspiciously humble about it. Are you afraid | might find

out how good you actually are?”

Benjamin stepped closer as he spoke. His warm breath brushed

over her ears and made them numb.

Avrissa's cheeks flushed against her will. She edged away as little

as she dared and smiled awkwardly upon meeting Tim's curious

gaze.

“Enjoy yourselves, boys. I'm heading back.” She turned to return

to the cabin.

Tim blinked. Could Mommy by shy?

Benjamin's deep eyes followed Arissa. They only lowered to the

boy in his arms after she disappeared from sight.

“Shall we return as well, Tim?” Benjamin asked in a slightly raised

voice upon noticing that his son was also staring at Arissa.

Tim nodded. “Yeah, let's head back!"

Benjamin lifted him as they went in Arissa's wake. Spread

luxuriously across his father's broad shoulders, Tim gazed

longingly at the cockpit.

Upon returning to her seat, Arissa shut her eyes for some much-

needed rest.

Sensing Benjamin's return, she opened them again and found the

man seated next to her with their son in his arms.

“Give him to me!” She reached out with both arms.

Benjamin glanced at her. “Weren't you just

about to take a nap?”

Tim glanced at Benjamin. “I can sit by myself, Mr. Graham,” he

whispered.

Benjamin looked down at his son. “As you wish, then,” he said

before getting up and placing the boy in the seat he had

previously occupied before buckling him in.

‘When he turned around, he saw Arissa craning her neck to gaze

at their son.

Benjamin reached out and playfully rapped her forehead with his

knuckles. “What are you looking at? Go to sleep!”

Avrissa rubbed her forehead and glowered angrily at him.

“Cover Tim up with a quilt.”

Benjamin went away to procure a quilt to drape over the boy. “Get

some sleep, Tim,” he murmured. “It'll be over another hour to get

home.”

Tim nodded obediently and burrowed himself further in his seat

before looking around.

Benjamin caressed his head lovingly and covered Arissa with

another quilt before resuming his seat.

She was touched by his gesture.

Avrissa stole several glances at the man throughout the plane ride.

‘When Benjamin began to work, she became even more

emboldened to stare at him.

Look at those cheekbones. Even axes aren't as sharp as they are.

However, his regal presence is even more exciting than his

appearance.

The longer she studied his cheeks, the hotter hers became.

Benjamin felt her gaze and turned his head in her direction. His

gaze deepened at the sight of her flushed cheeks.

Returning to her senses abruptly, Arissa was

horrified to find the man's fiery gaze catching her in her act.

Her heart throbbing with panic, she hurriedly looked away while

ignoring her burning ears.

Benjamin's thin lips curled into a smile at her embarrassment.

Arissa's pulse quickened further still at the man's unrelenting

gaze.

Instinctively reaching for her phone for something else to do, she

was dismayed to find it turned off for the flight.

Detecting a movement in her peripheral vision, Arissa looked up

and saw Benjamin waving a tablet at her.

“You can watch a movie!” he mouthed.

Avrissa reached outward and took it from him. After a quick glance

at the children, she found them all, Gavin and Zachary included,

sound asleep.

Even Tim's eyes were beginning to droop.

Allowing the child to succumb to his drowsiness, Arissa put on

earplugs and watched a movie alone, with Benjamin lost in work

next to her.

At some point through the movie, Arissa fell asleep.

Benjamin noticed that she was cramped in her seat in such a way

that would guarantee a neck cramp when she woke up.

Without hesitation, he leaned her body against his and rearranged

the quilt over her before resuming work.

Avrissa's steady breath tickled him from time to time as it brushed

against his chest through the gap in his shirt buttons.

Benjamin's dark eyes narrowed as he felt his own breathing

instantly disrupted.

Glancing at the soundly sleeping woman and her peaceful

expression, he could not help noticing how attractive her cheeks

looked with their natural pink tinge when she became excited. He

was so mesmerized by her beauty that he could not take his eyes

off her.

Benjamin did not look away until a sudden sound of Gavin getting

up to use the washroom roused him from his reverie.

He watched as his son unbuckle his seat belt and walked toward

the bathroom.

“Do you need me to come with you, Gavin?” Benjamin asked in a

low voice.
