1 " Your pupils are dilated. Does that mean you want to fuck me or eat me? Because I might have a problem with one of those.-Dex to Sloane "
― Charlie Cochet , Hell & High Water (THIRDS #1)
2 " He could do with some lunch. Especially since that bastard Sloane gave his Cheesy Doodles away. What kind of guy does that? A bastard, that’s who. Did he not respect the male code of honor—thou shalt not steal another dude’s snacks?--Dex "
3 " Cael, come on. Stop licking the dude. That's gross."Letty let out a snort. "Please, like you don't lick dudes.""That's different," Dex explained with a grimace. "None of those dudes were Ash. Besides, last time I checked, Ash was allergic to nuts. "
4 " I am fucking charming!” Dex shouted, his entire face going beet red. “I am the most charming motherfucker you will ever know, so kiss my perfectly perky ass! "
5 " I am fucking charming!” Dex shouted, his entire face going beet red. “I am the most charming motherfucker you will ever know, so kiss my perfectly perky ass!”After some consideration, Sloane cocked his head to one side and shrugged. “I’ve seen better.”“Oh, now you’re insulting my ass? "
6 " Sometimes the amount of stupid in this world confounds me. I swear some of these citizens are evolving backwards. "
7 " Now how do I access Google?”Was he serious? “Why do you need Google?”“When don’t you need Google?”He was serious. “How about when you have a powerful, multimillion dollar government interface linked to numerous intelligence agencies across the globe right in front of you.”Dex squinted at him, his lips pursed thoughtfully. “So… is that a no on Google?”“Are you on medication? "
8 " I apologize. Hi, I’m Agent Sloane Brodie, your Team Leader. I enjoy reading, cozy nights in, and the soothing sounds of classic rock. I also like to browse the Internet for funny cat videos, but deep down, I think I’m more of a dog person. "
9 " Dex arched an eyebrow at him before he winked down at his dick.“Don’t worry, fella. He needs a minute to take in all the awesome. "
10 " The force is strong with this one.” Sloane laughed. “All right there, Yoda.” “Please,” Dex scoffed. “We both know I’d be Han. You can be Luke.” “Okay, Han.” “Ash would be Vader. Ew, Ash would be your dad. "
11 " Try using your inside voice. Less awkward. "
12 " Dex lowered his voice, growling as his fingers moved the puppet’s little paws. “Hi, I’m Ash. My hobbies include shooting things, shooting things, and uh, shooting things. Oh and I like fish. "
13 " Yogi was fast on his heels as Dex sped through the lounge, down the busy corridor, and past the training bays. “Excuse me! Coming through!” Shit, shit, shit! Who’d have thought Yogi would like Cheesy Doodles as much as he did?“Give them here!” Yogi growled.“Go find your own pic-a-nic basket!” The deep feral growl he received in response was most likely a “no. "
14 " His dad’s gruff voice interrupted his pitiful thoughts. “Can I be frank?”“Sure. Can I be beans?” Without even having to look up, Dex knew what his dad was doing. “Stop. You know how I hate when you do that.”“Do what?” Tony grunted.“Do that puckered ass thing with your lips.”“And you know all about puckered asses.”Dex arched an eyebrow at his dad. “You know, at times I wonder who the grown-up is here.”The elevator pinged and they exited into a long white hall with dark gray flooring. “And I wonder if you’ve lost more than a few marbles. Like the entire bag. "
15 " Sloane shook his head. He pushed Dex from behind, guiding him into the lobby,“Get in the damn truck before I shoot you.”“You know, you should try yoga. Find a way to channel all that aggression.”Sloane gave Dex another push. “I have found a way. It’s called shoving my foot up your ass.”“That doesn’t sound very relaxing. "
16 " This situation was a heart attack waiting to happen. He just knew it. The stress of the job, now this. Yep, he was going to keel over. He could see the writing on his tombstone now: Sloane Brodie departed this world at age 37 due to massive coronary trauma as a result of idiot partner Dexter J. Daley.--Sloane "
17 " If Sloane’s quiet words hadn’t been enough to get Dex squirming in his towel, Sloane’s quick kiss to his lips sealed the deal. Oh God, he was about to get a hard-on at work, and the bastard that was the cause of it was loving every moment of it.Think unsexy thoughts. Think unsexy thoughts.Ash’s growl echoed through the showers. “What are you two gay boys doing in there?”Aaand done.--Dex "
18 " I can get you a framed painting if you like. Or you could suck it. "
19 " With a groan, he let his head fall into his hands. His life was officially a bad eighties movie. Without the parachute pants. "
20 " As of this afternoon, you are a Defense Agent for the THIRDS.” The man grew quiet and Dex couldn’t help but wait for him to throw his arms out and shout “Ta-da!” with a show of jazz hands. "
