Without thinking better of it, I reared that book in my hand back and promptly threw it at Clay, who dodged it only by a hair. “Hey, no shame!” He laughed. “Just info I want to tuck away for later,” he added, tapping his temple.”

Then, I rolled my lips together, fighting for the words. “How do I make you feel that?” Clay laughed, the sound low and delicious in my ear.
