“Oh man… This guy’s got so many walls up—walls I absolutely blame myself for—I need to start working on a map of them so I know which ones to start tearing down next.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“I’m crying because I know I deserve it. Because I know he’s right to use me and leave me lost and broken.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“What I’m doing to him feels wrong, though. Like the same reason I shouldn’t have left a mark on the back of his neck last night is the exact same reason I shouldn’t be marking him like my own personal fire hydrant. But the flood gates are open, and I let it flow until I’m done. My body feels better but my mind feels sick and dirty.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“You’re a fucking slut. Is that what you’re going for?” “Just need someone to call me on it. I pick you.”

“He only thought I was an asshole in high school. Wait until he sees what I’m like when I actually know what I want and can’t have it.”
August Jones, Finance Bros

August Jones, Finance Bros
“I knew sexuality was a spectrum, but I didn’t expect it to be a journey. This feels like being on a fast-moving train headed straight for the guy with the sword tattoo. “Are you good? Because I’m great. I promise.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“I hate that I’m thinking about what I’m going to wear tomorrow and whether lip balm would make me slightly more attractive to him. I hate that this is happening to me. That he is happening to me. Again.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“He was the water in the well. He is the well. And I’m so fucking thirsty I feel like I’m moments away from dying of it.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“I’m ready to push through whatever this wall is and get to the other side. I might have trouble following through with pretty much everything, but I seriously hate what I did to him in high school and afterward. It was based on a lie I told him and myself.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“So this is me—giving up. Admitting defeat because whatever I’ve been telling myself is no match for what’s underneath that sexy black sweater, which, I’ve decided, I want to touch.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“Or maybe it’s truer to say, I don’t want to ignore it anymore. It’s too hard. Too exhausting. I give up. I tried. I tried for ten fucking years, which is by far the longest I’ve ever done anything I didn’t genuinely want to do.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“So that happened. I went there. I jerked off to Ryan, and I came harder than I’ve come in my entire fucking life.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“Something happened last night. It was an accident. Sort of. Or I thought it was, but when Ryan peeled off his sweater to show Bailey his bare upper body, I realized something unshakeable about myself. I want to touch him.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“but no part of me wants to push them against the wall and start devouring them the way I apparently still want to do with him. It’s a soul deep desire that doesn’t understand it can never be fulfilled.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“Here’s the thing: I’m a straight guy who would fuck Malcolm Walsh in a heartbeat.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“For the record, I’ve never looked at another man that way. I’d like to say lesson learned, but the problem I had then is the same problem I have now. I may hate him, but I’m also still sort of in love with him. He’s a foundational part of me. Loving Malcolm is part of who I am.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“He peeks at the numbers on the treadmill. “Seventeen point nine? Seriously? Who hurt you?” Malcolm. “No one,” I say. “Just didn’t feel like stopping.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“Because for the purposes of me being a functional human, Malcolm needs to have never happened—as a person or my stepbrother or an embryo even. He should have never been born. Then I’d have been fine. I wouldn’t be this sweaty fucking mess who can’t punish myself enough.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“The existence of him hurts like a twisting knife in my side.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“The man I swore I’d move heaven and earth never to see again. Definitely not the love of my fucking life. My former stepbrother.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
“It’s rarely a relief when I see someone I know. I burn bridges like they’re meant for kindling. But it’s not the cute redhead Lisette who’s got me immediately turning my head back to my paper and pressing a thumb beneath my watch on the pulse point of my wrist in an effort to will myself to remain seated and show no fear—no emotion of any kind. Because it’s him. The golden boy of Thousand Oaks High. The best friend I couldn’t keep. The bully of my worst nightmares.”
August Jones, Finance Bros
