The King's Men (All for the Game, #3)

"If it means losing you, then no," Neil said. "I hate you," Andrew said casually. He took a last long drag from his cigarette and flicked it off the roof. "You were supposed to be a side effect of the drugs." "I'm not a hallucination," Neil said, nonplussed. "You are a pipe dream," Andrew said.

"Tell your pet psycho to knock it off before he cripples someone." "I don't think he'll listen to me," Neil said. "You and I both know he will. Now get."

"He called Riko a Class I douchebag," Dan said. "Not in so many words, but I think they got the message."

Neil feigned confusion as he got to his feet. "Am I bothering you?" "Beyond the telling." "Interesting," Neil said. "Last week you said nothing gets under your skin."

Aaron shot him a livid look. "Don't you dare take his side." "Why not?" Nicky asked. "It's not like you've ever let me take yours."

You gave me a key and called it home."

He told himself not to think about it right now, but his mouth still remembered the weight of Andrew's lips and that made his hair stand on end.

He was sure he still felt Andrew's heartbeat on his skin when he went to bed a few hours later.

Allison waved his thanks off with an airiness that didn't match her tense expression. "No, thank you. You just closed three outstanding bets and made me five hundred bucks," she said when Nathaniel glanced at her. "I'd rather find out exactly why and when you two hooked up than think about this awfulness any longer, so let's talk about that on the ride back instead."

"Waiting on you," Andrew reminded him. "I didn't invite him," Browning said. "Trust me," Wymack said. "You'll fare a lot better if you take them both."

A lot of things about you make sense now, actually. With one notable exception," Matt added dryly, "but I'm going to let Allison handle that conversation. She'll kill me if I steal her thunder."

"Great," Wymack said. "He's turning into another you. That's just what I needed." "At least you can legally take out life insurance on one of them," Nicky said.

"You're crazy," Neil said to Andrew in an undertone. "This is news to no one," Andrew said.
