“You fantasize about the elevator?” Izzy leaned forward on her elbows. “Ohmigod, I do, too. All the time.”   His eyes dipped down to her mouth as he said, “About you hitting the stop button?”   She ran her tongue over her bottom lip. “That’s where it starts.”   “Tell me where it finishes, Shay,” he said, quietly and calmly. No one around them would ever guess that he was asking her to share a sexual fantasy.  No one who’d ever known her would guess that she would.   “With my hands on the wall,” she said, stuck somewhere between embarrassment and total arousal. “And with you behind me, most of the time.”   He raised his eyebrows like he was amused, but his jaw was rigid. “Most of the time.”   “It varies, y’know?”   “Yeah, I fucking do know,” he said, and Izzy's stomach dipped.   “So tell me, Chest,” she said, intimidated and totally turned on by his hot eyes. “Where it finishes for you.”   She didn’t know what she’d been expecting – Blake wasn’t the kind of guy to back down from a challenge so of course he'd answer – but it wasn’t, “Your back against the elevator wall, your legs wrapped around my waist, and my name on your tongue.”

“Dear God, she was so fucking pretty. It wasn’t about her looks, though, as asinine as that sounded. She was pretty because she was alive and chaotic and funny and smart. Her eyes fucking sparkled and her nose crinkled and her mouth slid into smiles as if that were its default.”

“For a split second he blessed me with a grin that acknowledged my stupid joke, but then…then. The grin was gone, and all that was left behind was this wildly potent, one-hundred-proof, undiluted expression of interest as he gave me full-on eye contact. With a jaw flex. The moment held, and I felt like I was being physically pulled closer to the guy. The entire world went quiet as an invisible string tugged me toward him.”
