The top of her head barely reached my chin, so I put her at about five foot four. Her crazy mess of hair was half hanging alongside her face in loose waves and I thought it would feel really good if I dug my hands into it while I yanked her in for a hard, hot kiss on those lips slick with some kind of girly lip crap."Sorry," she said, looking at me like I was the enemy. Her voice was low and rough, like a great torch singer. I wondered if she was musical, because looking at her made my head spin like there was a song ricocheting around in it. I grinned at her a little to see what her reaction would be. "No problem, babe. Can I do something for you . . . or even to you, if you'd prefer?" She scowled more and her eyes narrowed. "My name's Alexis, not 'babe,' and I really doubt there's anything you could do that I'd be interested in," she snapped. "Oh, sweetheart, you don't know me too well. Ask around. You'll find there's a whole lot of things I can do that would interest you. Things that would help you relax." I stepped closer and smiled down at her suggestively. "You seem a little tense." "Oh, God," she choked out somewhere between laughing and screaming. "Are you for real? What, did you walk out of an episode of Mad Men or something?" She shook her head. "Um, take my word for it. There is nothing, absolutely not one single thing, that a guy who calls me 'babe' could do to interest me."
