"Lord, you're gorgeous as hell."
His dark gray eyes wide and curious, in stark contrast to the sweat glistening on his chest. She swallowed hard, captivated.
She took a slow, mouthwatering look at him. "You know something crazy?" she murmured, her voice low and teasing.
"What?" he asked, his tone soft but his gaze darkening as she approached.
She leaned in, her hands running slowly over his abs, tracing every inch of muscle. "You look so good." She smiled, then winced.
"Fuck, my face hurts," she sighed.
He turned, lowering the stove to low heat. "Everything hurts, actually..."
His dark eyes scanned her face, trailing down her neck to the swell of her chest beneath the pajama top. "I know I look hideous," she sighed, starting to turn away. "Sorry, I was trying to be sexy. I think I'll just go to bed now."
Before she could leave, his arms caught her, wrapping around her waist. He lifted her effortlessly and placed her on the sofa in the living room.
