A shot of adrenaline fired through me at the sound, and I didn’t even think. I just ran. Not that I minded when her eyes roved over me. Gracie has never given me a second glance. I’d rather not date a woman who only wants me for my body, but if seeing me shirtless makes her notice me when she never has before? I’ll take it. I work hard enough to stay in shape. Might as well reap the benefits, however they come.
