She pursed her lips, her hands gripping the tops of my thighs. “I know you remember. When we were together that night, Ty, you had to have felt it too.”
Shit. My head hurt. Everything she was saying was hard to take in. “You mean, the night we hooked up?” That had been years ago. And brief. I hadn’t been a guy to hang around back then. I didn’t know why she was bringing it up.
