Claudia POV
Ka-boom!
My brain short-circuited instantly as the mug in my hand dropped and wetted the carpet. I had lost control over myself momentarily after the theatrics that Ray pulled on me.
My heartbeat raced as if it was about to burst out of my chest, and there were fireworks constantly shooting and exploding in my head.
As much as I hated admitting it, Ray was still pretty much my type. His deep emerald eyes behind those glasses staring at me meaningfully, the way he curled up his lips whenever he found something or someone interesting, and the way his honey-like voice called my name.
Everything about him was fatal to women, and I was not an outlier. I was one of those women who got seduced by Ray Gatlin.
Had I followed my instinct completely, I'd have thrown myself at him and kissed him.
However, rationality quickly returned to my head once I realized this was highly unrealistic. The Ray Gatlin I knew wouldn't try to seduce me like this.
