repeated his question as Savannah furrowed her brows, not understanding what he meant. Although, if she was being honest with herself, she was mostly trying really hard not to look at his beautiful muscular body, exposed fully before her eyes. There was something about him that always tempted her mind to go to sinfully delicious places, and it was hard to have him this close with no clothes to
