He’d hurt me plenty, and I refused to be his punching bag.

I wanted to stare Kaidan down, but when he turned to face me I was distracted by the girth of body beneath his face. I eyed the layers of muscle in his arms, chest, and abs. He was ripped! Was he living at the gym these days? His already toned belly now boasted a six-pack. Muscles didn’t usually do it for me, but I had to admit his tall frame wore it well. I swallowed and looked back up where he’d been patiently waiting for me to finish my perusal.

I cleared my throat and crossed my arms.

Next up: ARCs!  I don't have any yet, but as soon as I get them I'll hold a contest to give away two signed prints.  :)
