― S.E. Jakes, Catch a Ghost

“He was several blocks away, idling at a light, when he shoved his shirtsleeves up and caught sight of the leather bracelet. And that’s when he realized he’d been played. “. . . we can’t go back out because I can’t protect you.” “I already almost got you killed.” Prophet was just as much of a liability to Tom as Tom was to him. And that wasn’t an accusation, but rather an inescapable fact. His”

“Prophet’s neck corded with tension, and he never took his eyes from Tom’s face, not even when he broke apart and came so hard it was like he was shattering. “Tommy . . .” A breath, a whisper even, as Tom came on the heels of Prophet’s climax like a scream in the night, hot and fast like an electric jolt that stunned him senseless. Prophet’s hand broke its hold, curled around Tom’s neck, pulling him down so their faces were close, his body shuddering as Tom’s hips jerked erratically. His last thought was that their hands were still clasped tight together.”
― S.E. Jakes, Catch a Ghost

“I’m going to fuck you hard. Fast. Messy.” “Just how I like it,” Prophet managed. Tom positioned his cock against him, and with Prophet pushing, Tom ground into him, sheathing himself inside the tight, hot hole. Prophet”

His eyes darkened, a dangerous look. Finally, he said, “When I need a shrink, I’ll see one. We’ve been through this before, and it didn’t end well.” “It ended up with you going out and fucking random strangers,” Tom reminded him. It didn’t matter that Prophet hadn’t answered his question. Tom had the answer. No one took care of Prophet. Prophet took care of Prophet. It must be exhausting to be expected to take care of partners who didn’t recognize he needed the same. Just because he didn’t seem like he would didn’t mean anything. And”

“Prophet, what’s going on here?” “With what?” “With us.” “We’ll work on this case. And we’ll fuck, if you still want to. And one can’t interfere with the other.” “Right. Because nothing is personal.” Tom paused. Took a breath. “Way I figure it, if I’m forced to have a partner, might as well have one with benefits. If you’re annoying me, fucking you will be more satisfying than punching you.” Prophet grinned, then added slyly, “And I could always punch you afterward.” Tom”

“Prophet’s breath hitched when Tom ran a soapy hand over his cock. Groaned out another couple of curses as Tom pulled him toward an orgasm he probably hadn’t planned on having. At least not that quickly. He hadn’t really been able to brace himself, was probably counting on Tom to hold him up, but Tom was amazed that the man could remain as steady as he was through his climax. He watched the close-eyed smile spread over Prophet’s face as he cleaned him off again. The”

“Prophet conceded by slinging his arm across Tom’s back, his fingers tracing the inked skin. Feeling the raised scars they covered. Tom stiffened. First instinct was to pull away. “I know they’re there, T. No need to run.” “I’m not.” “Good. Did I fuck the fight out of you?” “Never. That doesn’t mean you should stop trying,” he murmured sleepily. “You’re in so much goddamned trouble, Tommy.” “Tell me something I don’t know.”
