“Every gay man should be familiar with Bert and Ernie.""And why is that?"Reece rolled his eyes, smiling. "Everyone knows that they're lovers."Ben stopped what he was doing and looked at the man incredulously. "Okay, Reece, seriously, can you hear yourself?""They are!" Reece said. "They live together, share a bedroom; I'm telling you the sexual tension is very palpable." Ben raised an eyebrow and said nothing. Reece cleared his throat. "You're going to break up with me now, aren't you?”

“Has anybody ever told you you're an evil woman?" -Reece"Who, me?" -Erin"Yes, you." -Reece"Li'l ole me?" -Erin"Sadistic goddess you, yes." -Reece"Do you want me to stop?" -Erin"Do you want me to hold you down and bang you like a screen door?" -Reece"Don't threaten the sadisticgoddess, Reece." -Erin”

“Hey, Reece.”There was nothing but silence for a while and I waited.Then Reece said, “Expected it to happen eventually, darlin’, but didn’t expect it to hit me that hard the first time I heard a man answer your phone.”

“As long as you're interested, that's all that matters." "I'm interested. I'm fucking obsessed.""That's it, baby." Ben whispered. "You fuck yourself on me. Feel me all the way inside." "Oh, God," Reece gasped."You've no idea," Ben growled, "no idea what it does to me; how fucking possessive it makes me feel to see you bouncing on my cock.”

“Reece keeps trying to put the pieces back together without having any idea what’s causing me to break.”

“Reece…Reed…isn’t that a silly coincidence?” he asks, his mouth twisting in a grim smile that neither reaches his blue eye nor his green one.”
