“Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”

The look on her face said she wasn’t pleased with my words, but I had no idea how I had offended her.

“Are you saying my build makes me bottom-heavy?” She placed a hand on her hip.

I cleared my throat. “Your bottom half is very pleasing to me.”

Her gaze dipped down the length of my body. “You are welcome to look.”

“Try to kick me.” I had to keep both her and my mind on fighting, not stripping each other naked and kissing.

“Ugh, this isn’t working, I still want to have sex with you.” She groaned.

“Star jumps. Let’s do fifty of them.”

“What the hell are star jumps?” She wrapped her arms around her middle, a flash of pain crossing her features.

“Like this.” I jumped up, raising my hands overhead as my legs spread apart, then slapped my hands along the sides of my thighs as my legs came together.

“Oh, Jumping Jacks.”

“Who is Jack?”

Her laugh along with a snort made my chest lighten. “No one. It’s what we call those. But I like the name Star Jumps better, makes it sound extra cool.”

I beamed at her, then raised my eyebrow when she didn’t do them. “Fifty.”

Her face heated. “Um…I’m not wearing a bra.”
