I was just leaning down to splash water over my cheeks and wash away the suds when he appeared behind me in the mirror.
“Is it weird that I’m kind ofintothe idea of you borrowing my car?” His eyes were crinkly around the edges, his mouth soft as he met my eyes in the mirror. “Yeah, it’s weird.”
I turned around, my face covered in soapy lather, and I said, “Do you know how busy I want to get with you when you’re weird?”
That made him full on smile and give his head a shake. “Didn’t we talk about the phrasegetting busy?”
I ran a hand over his tie and the hard chest underneath it. “Sorry. What I meant to say was—do you know how bangable you are when you’re digging me?”
“Digging you.” Blake put his hand over mine, trapping it against his sternum. “What if you drive me to work, then take the car to your place?”
I could’ve died of happiness when Blake stood there like that,nottrying to be cool about wanting to see me again. I said, “I guess that works, but only if you promise not to get mad if I drive too fast.”
He laughed, a rumbly chuckle that came from deep within his chest. “I cannot make that promise.”
“Well, then I cannot—”
“For the love of God, Iz, rinse off the soap,” he interrupted, laughing a little harder as he put his hands on my shoulders and turned me around. “Before you get foam everywhere.”
I laughed, too, when I saw the big blobs of soap that were dangling precariously, about to drip off my face. My giggles got stuck in my throat, though, when I raised my eyes to his. Heat, warmth, and something more—wonderfully, perfectly more—hovered between us.
“I’m going to go take care of the boys before you distract me and make me late,” he said, kissing the top of my head. “Think you’ll be ready to go in twenty?”
I nodded and turned the water back on. “Yep.”
“Want to stop for a latte on the way, Amy?”
“You know that I do, Chest.”
Chapter Thirty-Eight
Blake and Izzy
7:45 a.m.
Blake:You home?
Izzy:Yep. Just got here.
Blake:And my car…?
Izzy:Totaled.
Blake:Thank you for taking such good care of it.
Izzy:I’m seriously obsessed with it. All I want to do is drive.
Blake:You can, y’know.
Izzy:I fear I might accidentally commit GTA and disappear from the area if I spend any more time with him.
Blake:HIM?
Izzy:That car is a sleek, fast, sexy bastard. TOTALLY a dude.
Blake:Agree to disagree.
Izzy:How’s work btw?
