A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Hannah

This morning is something special. I squeeze my coffee cup in my hands while my eyes wake up a little more by the second. Tobias is working out shirtless in the kitchen. I have no idea why he chose this room, but…

Wow.

It’s impossible not to look at his body… or gawk. I’ve never seen a man this in shape outside the TV, if you don’t count the jocks at college. But even then, I haven’t been this close to them.

But Tobias is right there, lifting from the ground with each push-up, and he is only wearing a pair of white boxers.

That ass…

I swallow thickly and let my eyes linger. Tobias’s ass looks great, his thighs are thick, and his calves are defined. Aside from working, he must spend hours in the gym.

Aren’t I lucky to be tapping that?

As I daydream, Tobias looks over his shoulders and catches me eyeballing his ass, which makes me freeze. It’s too late to look away, and I’m mortified when a smirk works into his face.

“Enjoying the view?”

I shyly look away from him. His eyebrows are raised, but I pretend to be more interested in a painting on the wall. “I just spaced out… I’m a filthy liar, but I must save my skin.

“Ah, of course,” Tobias stands up. He walks to one of the cabinets to grab a glass and fill it with water.” Tell me if you need me in another position for the next time you… space out.”

Whoa, hold up!

He doesn’t believe me?!

“I did space out!”

“Mhm, space out while thinking about me?”

My cheeks burn. “You little-“I stop there because I don’t know what else to add, and Tobias laughs.

“Are you calling me little?”

“S-so what if I did?!” I manage and stand up from my chair when Tobias comes lumbering closer.

His lips are amused as he looks down at me. “We have a problem. It seems someone is getting sassy

with me.”

I stroll past his shirtless form because I need water. Did someone raise the temperature in here? It’s sizzling hot.

“I’m not sassy…” I mutter.

“You are,” Tobias says from behind. “Is it because I should have given you some sex this morning? Is that

“What?!” I shriek. “No, not at all!” But I wouldn’t have complained.
