Page 63 of Her Elusive Cowboy Billionaire

She looked around for seats like in a regular airplane.“Where?”

“The chairs have seatbelts.”He waved an arm toward the white leather chairs.“Shall we?”

“Of course.”She made her way to the chairs and sat in the window seat of one facing forward.

Chase sat facing her.

When the plane was in the air, the captain’s voice sounded on the speaker.“We are cruising at 35,000 feet.You may walk about the cabin.”

“Paul sounds just like the pilots on the regular airlines.”

Chase chuckled.“He came to me from United.”

“Ah.Old habits.”

“Yes.But I don’t mind.I’d rather know when it’s safe than not.”

“So would I.”She unbuckled her seatbelt.“Would you show me the rest of the plane?”

‘“Certainly.”He unbuckled himself and stood.

She stood and made her way to the aisle.

Chase took her hand as they walked toward the back of the plane.“First is my office.”

The small room held just a simple desk and chair with a computer.The chair was on wheels and was currently tethered to the desk which appeared bolted to the floor.

Then the dining room.The table and chairs were all wooden, with seats and backs that were luxuriously padded.

Across from the dining table was a small two top that matched the large table.

“That’s in case we have more people than fit at the table and still keep the aisle clear.”

“I wondered if it was the kids’ table,” she joked.

He laughed.“I have yet to have a child on the plane, but it would work well if only two children were present.”

“True.Over two, and you’ll have a fight over who gets to sit there away from the adults.”

He put his hand at her back and ushered her into the kitchen.“What do you think?It’s all state-of-the art.Judy, my flight attendant, loves it.She likes to cook, and she can make amazing food in here.”

The kitchen could have been in any high-end home.The microwave, refrigerator and dishwasher were all gleaming stainless steel.She realized they couldn’t have a stove, it would be too dangerous.

“Next is the bedroom.”He stood back by the door.

She entered to look around.

She was glad he was being a gentleman and not trying to get her into bed.The bedroom was huge.The aisle zigged a bit to allow the room to be bigger and the aisle to the bathroom single file.

In the bedroom was a king-sized bed with nightstands on both sides.They and the six-drawer dresser with a mirror attached, were of the same wood as the dining room table; she thought maybe it was cherry.The sliding door to the closet was next to the dresser.The doors were mirrors, which had two purposes she could ascertain.First, they made the room look bigger.Second, they showed the entire body so he could see how he looked before getting off the plane.Incredibly useful when going straight to a business meeting.

On the wall opposite the bed was a large screen TV.

The plane’s windows were above the headboard.A painting of a ranch house was on the wall opposite the bureau.

“Is that your ranch?”Meri pointed at the painting.

He smiled and his eyes twinkled.“Yes, that’s my home away from home.Although, I’m thinking of making it my permanent home.”
