“Maybe I didn’t want to see you. Did that even occur to you?” he asked, sounding unconvincing even to his own ears. Adam’s brows furrowed together as he leaned into Noah’s space. “No, it didn’t. Why wouldn’t you want to see me?” “Um, it's, like, four in the morning? I was sleeping? I don’t actually know you?” Noah countered.
“Don’t you live in a mansion on the other side of town?” Adam shook his head with a smile. “No, my dad does. I live in a studio apartment on the other side of town.” “And why can’t you go sleep there?” Adam shrugged. “Because you’re not there and I want to be with you.”
Adam woke with his arms around Noah, his body tucked snuggly against him. He was small compared to Adam’s six foot two, but he fit perfectly, allowing Adam to all but envelop him when they spooned. He liked the idea of people having to go through him to get to Noah. It was a foreign concept. He didn’t know how to describe it. From the moment he’d seen him standing there, holding that gun on him, Adam had just known he wasn’t going to let him go. Ever.
Adam’s lizard brain.

Maybe he was high and Noah was his drug. If so, he was already hooked.
He seemed to be this strange mixture of brute force and childlike possessiveness, like Noah was his new favorite toy and he’d smash it before he’d let anybody else play with it. That shouldn’t have been hot…but it was. Noah had never been anybody’s favorite anything.

“Why did you tell her I’m your boyfriend?” Adam frowned. “Because telling her that you’re the son of one of my murder victims and we’re together because I happened to get off with you this morning sounded like a mouthful.” Noah shook his head. “You could have just said friend?” Adam’s brows furrowed. “But then she might think you’re available.” Noah’s brain stumbled. “But I’m not? Available?” “No.” “Do I get a say in this?” Noah asked, not even mad, just feeling like he’d definitely slipped into an alternate universe. Adam tilted his head. “Yeah. Did you not want to be my boyfriend?” Noah

this is so cute
“Then, by your own logic, you should do the opposite. And stay. With me.” “This is crazy.” “All the best things are.”
Honestly, if I said half the things I think when I look at you, you’d run screaming into the night.”
“I know you’re mine. I know it. Deep down, in that part of my brain that doesn’t care what is right or how society dictates how people choose a mate. I chose you. I want you. Just you. My brain has picked you, and now, I can’t undo it. You’re trapped. With me. For life.”
He wasn’t leaving Adam—not ever—and if Adam came with a family of psycho killers…so be it.
“I want you inside me, but I don’t want it rough. I’m not in the mood. I want the feelings stuff. Kissing. Missionary. Lots of eye contact and mushiness. Fuck me but make it romantic-like.”
“Thanks, that’s…kind of sweet, actually.” The boys beamed at him.
