that cast a soft spell on Lexie’s mind. When he noticed her staring at him with a slightly slackened jaw, he grinned. “Oh that, I dunno, it’s just something that happens sometimes. Actually that’s not true. It’s something that happens when I’m with someone I can’t stop thinking about. It’s been so long, so, so long since I felt like this. I can’t remember if I ever have.”
    As the two of them sat motionless, staring into one another’s eyes and both wondering at exactly the same time if they’d somehow wandered into a time warp where nothing existed except the two of them, Lexie’s phone buzzed on the table, jarring them both back to reality.
    “Son of a bitch,” Lexie said, laughing under her breath. “I almost forgot this thing existed. I almost forgot everything existed.”
    He still had his arm around her shoulders and his eyes trained on hers. It was like he was making sure to remember every single detail in case it all ended without a trace. “Well,” he said, “I guess we should probably go. We’ve got all the time in the world for us , you know.”
    “We... do?”
    For some reason, his saying that sent a shock moving through Lexie’s core. “I mean... how do you know?”
    Blake just smiled. “Sometimes you just do , you know?”
    She smiled back and stretched over him for the phone. For a moment she loitered over his lap, wanting once again to rip his clothes off and have her way with him, especially when she felt his heat underneath his jeans. Lexie didn’t say anything, but she certainly took note of the way he felt and how it made her feel to have him right there with her.
    She grabbed the phone a second later, hoping he hadn’t noticed her little respite on his lap... or maybe hoping he did. She let out a frustrated chuff and swiped the screen. As luck would have it, Eve had switched her tack from text message to call, and so when she moved her finger across the screen, it answered immediately.
    “Hey!” Eve said. “Stop it! I said quit! I’m trying to talk on the phone you old horn dog!” she was laughing, and then giggling, but she finally stopped. “Sorry, Morales is acting... well, like we’re a couple horny teenagers. This bear won’t keep his damn paws off me!”
    “Oh,” Lexie said, confused as to how she was supposed to react. “Well, I’m glad you’re having fun. So are we, Blake is... well, he’s...”
    She looked over at her bear, and realized that she’d just thought of him as her bear. Just the thought of such weird intimacy shot a shiver arching through her body that had electric tingles following in its wake.
    “So you like him? I figured you would. I mean, what the hell, who wouldn’t like a guy like him? Oh shut up, Moe! I like you too, yeah, yeah, quit pawing me !” She was giggling again, trying her best to keep her voice straight, but it was obviously not the easiest thing in the world to do. She laughed again, took a deep breath and apologized again.
    The next few moments of conversation were spent with Lexie looking at Blake, watching his eyes, his lips, and trilling with excitement every time he curled his fingertips against the bare skin between the waistband of her jeans and the bottom of her shirt, where they’d settled. She thought that maybe the shirt had gotten sentient and pulled itself up.
    Eve, for her part, just kept talking about how much fun dinner was, and how it worked out for the best that they couldn’t make dinner, but that both she and Morales really wanted to have them along for the minigolf part of the date.
    “Are you sure?” Lexie asked her, sort of hoping she’d relent and say they’d rather go home and get it on instead. “I mean if you guys just want more time by yourselves we’re fine. We haven’t even broken out the Scotch yet.”
    Eve howled with laughter. “She said they haven’t broken out the Scotch yet,” she said with her hand evidently over the phone’s receiver. “I think they’re getting on
