I pursed my lips. Rubi was a beautiful man, inside and out. It was hard to comprehend that Nash had fucked him and not fallen in love with him. That Rubi had fucked Nash and not claimed him for eternity. Then I remembered that this was real life and it didn’t work like that. I had beautiful friends. Folk was a smoke show. So was Juana. But my heart didn’t skip when they walked in the room. Didn’t fuckin’ explode when they laid a hand on me. Only two people had ever truly provoked that reaction and I’d spent the last two weeks in bed with them.
