‘The loudest man in the room is the weakest, Mr. Walker.’ Fuck. Off. If I had to listen to that asshole quote ‘American Gangster’ one more time, I was going to put a bullet through my own damn skull.

The funny thing about being raised in a cage is it makes you angry… and angry people want vengeance.

I loved fucking dudes. There was just something about bending over a pretty alpha male and making him see Jesus through his asshole. Nothing got me off faster than a good ol’ fight for dominance that ended with me literally on top.

The ginger-haired sex god in question walked into the room abruptly, and my jaw literally dropped. That picture online had not done him justice. Forget muscles. I was suddenly craving a ginger snap.

She met life’s obstacles with a sort of detached optimism, as if she lived entirely in the now and never worried about the future or dwelled on the past.

To make matters worse, the more afraid I became, the harder my dick got… yeah. In case you didn’t already think I was enough of a freak with the whole funeral home thing, coupled with the fact that I see dead people, I should probably mention that fear turns me on.

It seemed I had a brat on my hands, which was literally my favorite. I loved it when they fought back. I got to punish them and teach them their place.

Vox was hot as fuck. It was a literal crime that he was straight. And I don’t mean like, ‘I’m straight, but I still get a boner while wrestling with my sexy home invader’ straight. He was straight, straight. Like, dude didn’t even like seeing my weiner, and my dick was a thing of fucking beauty if I did say so myself.

“I’m not going to force you to officially come out, but when we’re in private, I’m allowed to touch you whenever I want. You will let me kiss you the way I want, fuck you the way I want, and suck you the way I want. When we’re behind closed doors, I’m in fucking charge from now on. You belong to me.”

“You’re a control freak. It’s pretty common for people who are dominant in their day-to-day lives to crave being dominated in bed. It gives you a way to escape. It lets you give control to someone else for a change. You don’t have to think; all you have to do is relax and let your partner make you feel good.”

“Fuck being normal, Ryan. Normal is boring. I love that you see dead people. I think it’s bad fucking ass that you live in a funeral home. On top of that, I think it’s hot that you’re a freckly red-headed man who likes gardening. Everything about you is attractive to me. You’re my lil’ spooky ginger boy, and I love the shit out of you.”
