Because that? That specimen with six-pack abs and a chest you could bounce quarters off of wasnât the Titus I remembered. Heâd always been lanky, which made sense, given his extraordinary height. And heâd always had muscles because he was athletic in school and his job required strength. But holy wow. What the hell had happened over the last year? My nose hit the cold glass and I jumped back, rubbing it as I pondered the changes in Titus when I hadnât been looking. The steady hum in my gut also gave me pause. Was that...lust? My brain screamed at me to walk away and quit staring at him, but my body was having nothing of it. We were gonna pull up a chair and stay for the show for as long as the show lasted. Better yet, why not go out there and see it up close? Good judgement had always been a weak spot in my character, but I never shamed myself for it. I went with impulses, so what? Sometimes they worked out great. Other times, not so much. But the way I figured it, you never got some excitement in your life unless you made the leap. And right now, I wanted some excitement in the form of a half-dressed Titus. Iâd worry about what it all meant later. Much later. âYo, T!â I hollered as soon as I turned the corner outside and stepped off the blacktop onto the dirt. Titus swiped the sweat from his forehead with his bulging bicep. His face lit up in an easy smile when he saw me. âHey, Lia. Almost done here.â I sauntered over, not looking where I was going. âYeah, I see that.â There was a bead of sweat sliding down right between his pecs. A fascinating journey of bumps and valleys. A throat clearing had me looking up. Titus had a playful look in his eye, his mouth tugging into a smile. âAre you undressing me with your eyes, Amelia Waldo?â I guess I was, but he didnât have to call me out like that. âAre you kidding me? You canât walk around half-dressed and then blame a girl for looking. If I was half-dressed, wouldnât you be looking at me?â Titus took a giant step forward and flicked the collar of my shirt. He didnât even touch me, but I could feel it all the way to the tips of my toes. âHell, yeah, I would. Iâd ogle you until my eyes bled.â His gaze flicked down the length of my body and suddenly I needed to squeeze my thighs together. âAre we actually doing this? Weâre flirting? You and me?â I whispered it, afraid to say it too loud. Like the volume of my voice would make it something real I couldnât take back. Titus shrugged slow and lazy, his eyes heating further. That finger still toyed with my shirt. If he didnât stop, I might melt into a puddle at his feet. âI donât see why we shouldnât. Youâre hot, Iâm hot. Kind of makes sense to flirt.â I smirked. âWow. Nice ego you got there.â I studied him seriously. âYou donât worry about harming our friendship?â Titusâs eyelids slid down and I wondered what it would be like to kiss him. He had to be a good kisser after kissing the entire female population of Auburn Hill. âSometimes friends make the best lovers.â
