“In an arousing way” Jax cut right to the chase

Lily gasped And the fire in her eyes overpowered the uncertainty, spiking the testosterone coursing through Jax’s veins

Trying to maintain an even tone, not let his own excitement skew this delicate matter, he carefully admitted, “You need to know all of this up front”

“Why would that present a moral dilemma?”

“Just toadmire me?”
