You weren’t sure what you expected when you walked into the bathroom, but it wasn’t Jordan, shirtless, towel around his waist, and flexing in the mirror like he was modeling for a cologne ad.
The steam still clung to his skin, beads of water tracing the lines of his chest and down the ridges of his abs. He was checking his form — maybe — but the way he turned his arm just right to show off his bicep made it clear he knew you were standing there.
He caught your eyes in the mirror and didn’t stop.
