Jamming the phone against my ear, I turned my back to the crowd, not feeling in the partying mood. “This is where we’re having our PT session?” I stood outside the velvet rope of a club with a line stretched around the block. When she’d given me the location, I’d thought there was a gym or something in the area.

“I told you we were switching things up.”

“I figured you meant swimming or something.”

“My cab is a block away. Just stay there.” She ended the call before I could tell her I’d meet her back at my place.

In fact, I’d love to meet her at my place. Open a bottle of wine, put on a movie neither of us would be watching after the first few minutes and do our own cardio in my bedroom.

The taxi screeched up to the curb and Imogen chucked a few bills into the front seat before hopping out like she thought she’d have to tackle me in the street.

If I’d been chewing gum I’d have choked on it. This outfit showcased a side of Imogen I’d never seen. Her long legs stretched up to the shimmery purple hem of a dress with a halter top showing off her collarbones. The shiny material skimmed her thighs and I couldn’t drag my gaze away from her legs. Black ankle boot heels elongated them even more. I was seconds away from drumming on the roof of the taxi to get us out of here and back to my place.

“Thank god, I swore I’d have to chase you down once you realized this was a club.”

I gently shook my head to break the trance she’d put me in. I’d seen her naked, felt her naked, but seeing her like this made me want to bundle her up, take her home, and show her off all at the same time.

“You could’ve given me a heads-up.”

“If I’d done that, I’d be standing here all on my own.”

“How’d you know I’d dress for the occasion?”

“When aren’t you dressed like you’re headed to an Abercrombie fashion shoot?” She dragged her fingers down the buttons of my black pea coat and pointed to my shoes.

“And I have a bag of clothes to change into.” I gestured to the duffle on my shoulder.

“Even your shitty gym bag is cover model-worthy. Is that Italian leather?” She tugged at the strap over my shoulder. “Don’t worry about it. I have a friend on the inside. Well, the outside actually.” She winked and took my hand, leading us to the front of the line.

“Murray, I’m calling in that favor.”

The burly bouncer with a face made of ninety percent scowl brightened like a kid on Christmas morning the second he spotted Imogen.

His gaze swept up and down her body appreciatively. I clenched my fists at my side.

“Imogen, looking good.” They slapped hands and went in for a hug like guys at the gym.

“I clean up every so often.”

He chuckled. “Yes, you do. I can’t believe this is what you look like out of scrubs.
