"These. Off," I manage between breaths, pushing the clothing still annoyingly on him down off his hips. While down there, I steal a move from Danny, placing my hands on his ass and giving a squeeze, smiling against his lips. "Extra squats?" I ask, hoping I haven't just opened the floodgates to having to listen to his entire weekly workout regimen. I will gag him with his own socks if I need to.

And because I can't expect him to do something I'm not prepared to follow through with myself, I undo the front of my shorts and work my way out of them, tossing them over the side of the bed. Candle flavored or not, maybe I should have had another drink or two earlier.
