Jaxton met his gaze for just a second, then scowled and turned away. The recognition in that look was painful; years of recollections and long forgottenemotions buzzed through his brain. Ashamed of the flare of attraction he'd just allowedhimself, he turned away and faked a smile.Elaine White

Jaxton hadn't changed, but he had. Maybe his old crush still hated him, but it shouldn'tmatter anymore. It didn't matter anymore. He was older, wiser and he had moved on. Jaxtonwas nothing more than an old high school crush.Elaine White

I remember him. Jaxton only knew I existed long enough to take the piss out of me. He certainly never liked me.” Roman sighed, giving his side of the story, though it was a slantedone. Only three people knew the real story; him, Jaxton and Ben, and it was far from the tale of bully and victim that Jaxton kept telling people.“ Yeah, that's what he said, ” Thayer agreed, with a laugh. Roman wasn't even surprised. Disappointed, but never surprised.Elaine White

Jaxton couldn't get his mind to settle on one thought, as he stared at the ground. Roman was here, after all these years. He was just a few steps away from him, talking and flirting with Thayer, as if the last six years had been nothing. Where had he been? Why did he leave? Why didn't he tell him where he was going, and why had he run off, without a word? Unable to focus his thoughts, he pushed them aside and ignored them. It was easier to pretend they didn't exist, than to face what they really meant.Elaine White

Even after six years, he was still turned on by the bastard, still desperate to kiss his lips and see how it felt to kiss him into submission, until he saw him as more than a loser geek. He wanted to taste his tongue, to touch his abs and stroke his cock; do all the things that it was so wrong to want to do to him. Wrong because of Ben, because of his love for Ben, because he barely knew Jaxton, back then and now. What the hell was wrong with him?.Elaine White

Lie on your stomach, ” I ordered between kisses. He pulled away. “Why?”“Just do it.Shaye Evans

You know, we can still put that suit to use, though.” I glanced toward the truck and Lock’s face lit up as I closed the distance between us. “What happened to needing a shower?” “Showers are overrated, ” I whispered, holding his gaze through the visor. “Plus, ” I turned my head to look down the hall, “Jay is down there now.” “That’d be right. Let me just hang up my hat.” He was pulling away when I caught his wrist. “Nuh-uh. Keep the helmet. I want to be with my firefighter. .Shaye Evans

I-I can’t sleep and I was going for a walk when I noticed the truck moving… and then I found you two and, um, I mean–” Lockland cut him off midsentence with a calm, serious tone. “Jay?” Jay’s gaze shot up to Lockland’s.“Spit it out! ”“ I was wondering if I could… I-I don’t know… join you?Shaye Evans

You’re scared of sharing me in case you lose me?” - AdanShaye Evans

Fuck… that was…” “Good?” I grinned, licking my lips, looking up at him. “Shit yeah! ” Jay wailed.Shaye Evans

Why did you come out when you knew how your family would react?” I murmured, wrapping my arms around his waist. I brushed my lips the length of Lock’s neck.“ Because I didn’t want to hide. I hated acting like I was someone I wasn’t.”“ I never did thank you for that sub.” Lock laughed. “Adan, you’ve thanked me a hundred times over.”“ I don’t recall.”“ Every time we’re together, or when you kiss me, it’s a constant reminder of how we met, and I wouldn’t exchange that for anything. .Shaye Evans
