“I’ll live it up,” Clay says in a low voice, taunting. “With someone who

makes sure the only way I can leave his bed when he’s done with me is by

crawling. Someone with a chest like a brick wall, and a cock, not a weewee.”

A laugh bubbles up from my chest, but I stifle it quickly. I hate her, and I

I startle, realizing the earbuds have kicked back on and my tutorial has

above me, and I don’t know how long it’s been there.

I clear my throat, swallow, and bring the weights down and then quickly

push back up as a cool sweat covers my back.

“¿…cual es son tu pasa… tiempos?” I mutter, trying to get my head back
