I feel like I'm walking down into a porn movie," V muttered as they took the steps with care.

“V was half way down the hall when he heard a yelp. He hightailed it back, barging through the door. “What? What’s …”

“I’m going bald!”

V whipped back the shower curtain and frowned. “What are you talking about? You’ve still got your hair…”

Rhage wheeled around,shoved out his butt,and started slapping his moneymaker like it was bread dough.

I’ll never hurt you, but I’m prepared to make you pretty goddamn uncomfortable if I have to, to get my job done. I like sunsets and long walks on the beach, but my perfect female no longer exists.
