Take of your shirt,he said.But I hadn't won Ethan Sullivan-and he hadn't won me-by my playing the wilting lily to his alpha predator.I lifted my head.I am not your possession.Aren't you?At my refusal,...
Once upon a time, I tried to have dinner with my best friend, and the apocalypse happened.
Now, that is interesting. It’s shitty evidence, but it’s interesting. I live to infotain.
I wouldn’t let you leave the House if I didn’t—there’s too much at stake. At stake. Ha-ha. At his frown, I winced. Sorry. I kid when I’m nervous.
I wasn’t sure whether he was a grad student, poet, actor, stripper, or brilliant combination of all those things. But the man knew Lord Byron, and he knew words. He knew the rise and fall of sentences...
