" In Ethan’s arms, his soul burned, lit on fire, and escaped his body, sliding over his skin until Ethan breathed him in, took him inside of his own body, and their hearts beat as one. He was never more open, never more vulnerable, than he was in Ethan’s arms, and he loved it. Craved it. Needed it. Needed Ethan’s love. How could he ever live without this? "
