"You're serious? You really mean it?" he asked a bit desperately. "Please, don't tell me you're just messing around, Blair."

It was a crime, really. They should fix that.

"Why don't you kiss me and find out yourself?" she coaxed, barely able to recognize her own voice from how grave it sounded, voice so unbelievably thick with desire.
