Ellis was allowed to look at Clark again, and he kept his gaze down on Clark’s body. He untied the robe, eased it off Clark’s broad shoulders, and let it pool at Clark’s bare feet. Under the robe, he wore two leather armbands under each biceps, a black leather jockstrap, and a blue titanium chain around his neck, a symbol of his commitment to Daniel.

Clark’s chuckle was throaty but kind. “Try specifics.”
