Mile High (Windy City, #1)

Stevie and Zanders go back to Zanders’s hotel room and have sex. During the encounter, Stevie feels uncomfortable at first, but when she realizes that Zanders has never once judged her body, she starts to feel better and enjoys the experience.

During sex, Zanders notices that Stevie feels uncomfortable about her body, so he tells her how beautiful she is and how much he wants her. Throughout the encounter, Zanders finds himself doing things that he doesn’t normally do with women. Afterwards, he realizes that he enjoyed the experience “more than [he] should have” (137). He is surprised when Stevie immediately starts getting dressed. He finds himself begging her to stay. When he walks her to the door, he accidentally locks himself out, and Maddison finds him naked in the hall.

Back at home, Stevie wakes up feeling as if last night was a mistake. She enjoyed sleeping with Zanders but fears that she will never have such good sex again, given that she and Zanders agreed that the encounter would be a one-time thing. On the plane, Indy immediately realizes that Stevie had sex and gets excited when she intuits that Stevie slept with Zanders. Throughout the flight, Stevie tries to act normally whenever she has to interact with Zanders.
