1 " Head all right?""Can't feel a thing," he lied."Figured. That's when you do stupid shit. "

2 " If you were mine, I'd make you pierce it, just because, "
3 " I'm Prophet.""Seriously?""Why? What's your name--Jesus? "
4 " Way I figure it, if I'm forced to have a partner, might as well have one with benefits. If you're annoying me, fucking you will be more satisfying than punching you." Prophet grinned, then added slyly, "And I could punch you afterwards. "
5 " You planted a bug on me?”“Yes.”“And you don’t think that was wrong?”“I don’t care.”Prophet blinked. “Fuck. That’s something I’d say. "
6 " You don’t have to flirt, T. I’m not a chick.”“That mean I don’t have to buy you dinner afterward?”“No, I definitely want dinner.” Prophet paused. “Maybe I am a chick. "
7 " Need help washing other places?”“Yeah. I’m really dirty.”“I can’t believe you said that with a straight face.”“I can’t believe you’ll do it anyway. "
8 " Like what you see?” Prophet asked, his voice a quiet yet dangerous rumble, heavily laced with sarcasm.Even so, Tom answered him seriously. “Yes.”“That’s because you’re seeing two of me. "
9 " 'Seriously, I'm going to kill you,' Tom told him, then muttered, 'If I can't hide the body well enough, it will so be worth it going to jail.' "
10 " Mal did as he was told without a backward glance at any of them. Tom did see him hold up his middle finger as he left.He guessed it was kind of like his gang sign. Or his message to the entire world. "
11 " Tommy!” He didn’t know why he hadn’t wanted Prophet to call him that. Now, he didn’t want Prophet to call him anything else. "
12 " The kiss started out rough and got tender and then rough again as they fought for some kind of foothold, any dominance. It quickly grew to holy fuck I can’t stop this levels. Hard and soft, and it lit his entire body on fire, and oh holy Mother Mary, he was going down hard. But he’d make sure Prophet went down harder. "
13 " Because you couldn’t make your own luck. You were either born with it or you weren’t. "
14 " Fuck, he loved kissing. Fucking was obviously great, but kissing was really how you could figure out how to take someone down in the best way possible. "
15 " Because enough talking. It was time for the goddamned kissing, hard and fast and smooth and slow and any and every way in between, until Tommy was humping his thigh. "
16 " I can’t believe you read my medical files.”Prophet looked offended. “That would be an invasion of privacy. I looked through your bags. "
17 " Tom had nearly bit his tongue off trying not to goad Prophet into further insults, which probably annoyed Prophet more than anything. Tom couldn’t figure out if the guy was doing it to purposely bug the shit out of him, or if this was simply how he operated on a day-to-day basis. It was like trying to balance in quicksand—in the end, it was easier to give up and let yourself get pulled under. "
18 " I just thought we’d be doing something . . .” “Bigger?” Prophet asked, and without waiting, said, “Saving lives is always big.” “There’s no one to save, Prophet.” It took everything Prophet had not to punch Tom. “There’s always someone to save. "
19 " Tom pounded into him. Prophet bit out a howl, hooked his ankles behind Tom’s back and dug his heels against the man’s ass, forcing him deeper inside. "
20 " It’s from a Celtic group. Flogging Molly,” was all he said. Tom went onto iTunes and found the song easily enough: “If I Ever Leave This World Alive. "
