This morning, however, was a different situation entirely. The huge man in front of her wore a tight pair of black boxer briefs and his ribs were wrapped in white bandages. Other than that, he wore nothing. She’d guessed he was a solid muscular man from the fit of his jacket and jeans, but this morning’s attire left little to the imagination. Definitely male. And large.

Angela realized she was staring, and forced her eyes up from his body to his face.

Handsome, bald, and undeniably strong, the man was built like a mixed martial arts champion. Better in fact.
