As my gaze gobbled Aaron in all his shirtlessness, I felt the air being

punched out of my lungs. I’d thought I had always been impressed—almost

fascinated, if I was being completely honest—by his height and size. But if

there was something more impressive, more fascinating than that, it was his

height and size decked with hard muscles of all sorts and types.

Jesus Christ. Were his abs sculpted in stone?

My stupid, hungry eyes traveled from his broad shoulders to his chiseled

chest and then kept going down, taking in slabs of abs that my imagination
