“Hey, honey!” I called brightly. “You’re home early. And here I didn’t even get to put a bow on the gift I have for you.”

Scotini glanced from Noel to me and then sent Caroline a scandalized glance. “Oh my God. Your brother’s gay?”

Really? I turned to her too, and with the same tone, I said, “Oh my God. Is he fucking stupid?”

She just sighed, looking a little ashamed, as if embarrassed she’d ever had anything to do with such a brainless douche.

“Ten?” Noel strode over, scowling hard. “What the hell are you doing? Aspen called at work, saying you were beating the shit out of some stranger in our backyard. So, I come home to find this. Who is this guy?”

I couldn’t help but smile. “Well, why don’t I introduce you, buddy. This here is Sander Scotini.”

Noel pulled back in shock and stared at Scotini before a small smile lit his face. “Is he really?”

I nodded. “And Sandy,” I said, picking the little shit up off the ground, by his hair. “Meet Caroline’s overprotective, homicidal big brother, Noel Gamble.”

“I wanted her and I couldn’t have her, so I fed the temptation, I flooded the craving, I would’ve fucking nursed the obsession from my own tits if I could’ve. I made sure I got little doses of her here and there. Except something incredibly enlightening happens when you spend enough time in one woman’s company. You start noticing shit about her, little useless crap that actually begins to mean everything, like how she brushes the hair out her face—even if there isn’t any in her eyes—whenever she’s unsettled, or how she chews on the end of a pen during class whenever she’s listening to something that captures her attention. You learn all her different laughs and know what each one means. You learn what pisses her off the most, or what makes her the happiest. You discover how smart and witty and sarcastic she is, and that her mind is almost as dirty as yours. You see how passionate she becomes when she defends those she loves, and you start to fall. Hard.

So, this is my Pathetic Loser’s confession: I am Oren Tenning, and I have fallen. Hard.”

“Whatever shit happened to drag us here to this moment…I wish most of it hadn’t needed to go down the way it did, but I’m still glad it ended up here, right here … The pain was worth it if it’s what brought you to me.”
― Linda Kage, A Perfect Ten

“Damit it, Caroline. You started this. You came to me and tricked me into playing with you. Now you have me. Your brother is going to kill us both for this, so you better make it worth our while. You better sit up there and fuck me like you meant to the first night you came into this room, wearing no panties.”

“Scotini glanced at me. “If he’s Noel, then who’re you?”

“I’m Ten.”

“You’re playing with fire.” Then she went and jabbed her finger into my gut.

I laughed and dodged away when she came at me again. “Woman,” I warned. “Don’t poke me.”

With a playful laugh, she charged. “Don’t be such a baby. I like it when you poke me.”

As I caught her and imprisoned her arms, I threw my head back and roared with laughter.”

“I took one of her legs and shifted it out of my way so I could slot myself between her thighs. “Excuse me. Pardon me, ma’am. I just need through here. Thanks.”

She giggled just as I entered her from behind.”

“She’d traumatized my Oren. The bitch must die...in my head anyway. I pictured myself pushing her off the side of a bridge and listening to her scream all the way down until...oops, she wasn’t screaming anymore.

And yikes, I really did have issues, didn’t I?”
― Linda Kage, A Perfect Ten

“You and your stupid spotted dick can just go to hell.”

He froze. “My spotted...what? Shit.” He glanced wildly around the room before hissing, “I’m going to kill her.”

When his face drained of color, I frowned. “Huh?”

He didn’t even hear my question as he ranted on to himself. “I cannot believe Blondie told you about that.” His gaze seared into mine, suddenly intense and desperate. “And it’s not spotted like there’s a bunch of dots. It’s one fucking birthmark. That’s it.”

“I’d been a little bored lately, you see, so I’d started up this game with myself where I fucked each girl from the same group in a specific position. For example, I did all the Alpha Delta Pi sorority sisters in reverse cowgirl. Teaching majors were strictly oral. And the athlete groupies got it doggie style. That way, when they talked amongst themselves, they all realized I did them the same way, and they began to think I had some weird tick, or something.

Not really sure why I’d started up such a bizarre game with myself, but it amused the hell out of me to fuck with their heads.”
