ILLICIT DESIRES
My breath caught as I took him in, like I was seeing him for the first time.
He had to be over six feet, broad shoulders tapering to a lean waist and dark hair slicked back from the shower, still dripping.
My gaze dropped to his chest, freezing on the black ink etched there. It was a fierce tribal design, swirling like flames across his left pec, right over his heart. Connor didn't have tattoos. Or at least, he hadn't the last time I'd seen him shirtless, which felt like forever ago. Maybe he'd gotten it on one of those trips and kept it secret like everything else. The thought stung a little, but it also lit something up inside, like proof he wasn't the same boring guy anymore.
