“IT’S BRILLIANT.” Alex’s shout of delight through the phone line preceded even a hello.

Beck let out a long relieved breath. He’d been up a good part of the night writing the damn scene, slept for a few early hours, then was back at it again, revising chapter after chapter, possessed as he was only at his most inspired, those rare and fabulous moments when words tumbled out of his brain faster than he could keep up with them on the keyboard. Days that made up for the all-too-many others when he needed pliers to extract even a paragraph from his subconscious.“Thanks, Alex.”

“It’s exactly what I was after. Exactly the difference I was looking for. It’s real, she’s real, the scene is hot, oh, my God, I was fanning myself reading it.”

“Thanks.” The word came out flat. He was happy with the scene himself, and pleasing his agent was always a good thing, but somehow he couldn’t get himself excited.

“You even have some tenderness there at the end, when he kissed her, I was like whoa, Mack has a heart? Women are going to fall madly in love with this guy, Beck, and men will only identify more. This is what we want.”

“I’m glad.” He went to the window, drew back the curtain and frowned at the sheets of water drenching the city. Damn. He’d planned to spend lunch and the afternoon at an outdoor café, recharging his batteries with caffeine and a different setting.

“Now…”

“Yes?” He let the curtain fall and sighed. They always wanted more.

“Now I want more. Through the rest of the book. I want him to fall in love with this woman. You’ve got a great start here, with Mack feeling these unfamiliar feelings. Now you’ve got to go the rest of the way, tie that into the plot, the danger, then into the final scene where he has to rescue her. Up the stakes at that point, make it his heart that’s at risk of being destroyed, as well as his woman. You got me?”

“Gotcha.”

She laughed, that smoky-throated guffaw that alternately amused him and grated on his nerves. “I’m just blown away by this, Beck. What did you do, hire some woman to whack off for you?”

“Jesus, Alex.”

“I’m sorry, I’m kidding. But I have to ask, why didn’t you ever show me anything like this before?”

Because I didn’t know it existed. “I didn’t think it fit the character.”

“Well it does. It fits the character the way the character should be, Beck, the way readers are going to respond to him and to her in droves. Oh, and you need to come up with a new name for this woman, I don’t like Susie after all.”

“Thank God.”

“What else were you thinking?”

“Off the top of my head?”

“Sure, gut reaction. First two female names you think of.”

“April? June?”

“Not May?”

He winced. “No, not May.”

“Hmm. I like May. But keep thinking…I’ve got to take a call, Beck. Love it, love it, love it, you’re fabulous. Talk to you later.”

Beck punched off his phone.
