"A pale, sweaty Corona bottle invaded my field of vision. It was clamped in a hand attached to a muscular arm with pale blond hair. "Peace offering," Curran said. Did I hear him come in? No. I took the beer. He paused on the other side of the tub. He was wearing a white gym towel. "I'm about to take the towel off and hop in," he said. "Fair warning." There are times in life when shrugging takes nearly all of your will. "I've seen you naked." "Didn't want you to run away screaming or anything." "You flatter yourself." He took the towel off. I hadn't exactly forgotten what he looked like without clothes. I just didn't remember it being quite so tempting. He was built with survival in mind: strong but flexible, defined but hardly slender. You could bounce a quarter from his abs. Curran stepped into the tub. He was obviously in no hurry. It was like walking on a high bridge: don't look down. Definitely not below his waist . . . Oh my. He sank into the hot water near me. I remembered to breathe. "How's your back?" "It's fine," he said. "Thanks." "Don't mention it." It had to be sore. "Does your side hurt?" "No." His smile told me he knew we were both full of it."
