I snuck a quick peek at him as he stood at the stove, and couldn't help but notice the way the muscles in his back and arms rippled as he moved. I felt the familiar twinge of desire that had dogged me ever since our first meeting and quickly looked away before it turned into something more urgent.

The last one landed on top of the first and I burst out laughing. Blake shrugged as he slid the spatula under both and flipped the messy stack into the trash can. He grinned at me as he said, "Let's try that again, shall we?"
