Surrounded by the Beasts (Sin City Beasts #3)

Sneak peek

SNEAK PEEK

I loosen my grip on the towel just enough to let it slip an inch, and she doesn’t miss it. Her eyes are darker when she lifts them to glare at me again.

“Why are you doing this?” She’s tortured, and I love it.

“Doing what?”

She lowers her voice to a hiss. “Showing off your body like this.”

I look down, as though I hadn’t noticed. “I was just in the shower, Ember. And now I’m walking to my room. I can’t help it if you interpret me going about my day as showing off.”

“Why don’t you have clothes on?”

“It’s not unusual for a man to have his shirt off. Is my bare chest bothering you?”

There’s still irritation in her eyes, but something else pushes to the forefront. Something raw and honest and tortured, that I understand on a deep level.

I should take mercy on her, but instead, I let the towel slip another inch. Nothing’s showing except a thin trail of hair and the v-cut of my abs, but Ember gasps.

When she looks up at me, I stare back, wanting her to see the same rawness in my eyes. We stay locked like that for several seconds, until I break our gaze with a grin. “Everything you see here is available, anytime you want more. Just say the word.”
