All he had to do, was crook his finger, and they would come running. My gaze landed on his sensual lips, curved into a hint of a smile. I wondered what they would feel like against mine. He pulled back and the spell was broken.
“Would you consider going out with me sometime?” he asked.
Who—wha— ? I nodded mutely, shocked by the turn of events.
“Is that a yes, Zoe?” My name rolled off his tongue like fine wine—smooth and heady. Fire shot through my veins. Before I could stop myself, my mind was drifting in and out of fantasies involving me and that tongue of his.

He pecked my cheek. “I’ll be in touch.
