A little different from what Joe and Charles had, though. See, I want to be the kind of best friends who make love every night, who share all their darkest secrets and favorite jokes, and maybe even someday make babies together. I know that kind of friendship requires hard work, but you know, I'm pretty good at hard work.~ Tom Paoletti, 'The Unsung Hero.","author":"Suzanne Brockmann","tags":["romantic"],"id":14437,"author_id":"Suzanne+Brockmann"},{"text":"Are you one of his teamm.","author":"Suzanne Brockmann","tags":["gay","humour"],"id":25074,"author_id":"Suzanne+Brockmann"},{"text":"If you want, I can carry you—” “I’m fine,” she said shortly. “Let’s go.”He’d said that wrong.

In case you’re thinking I forgot about that, or somehow missed it, or …”“Kind of hard to miss,” Ian agreed. “Your lips, mine. A distinct smacking sound. Yup, that was me kissing you.

The pressure came with a blood-tingling rush of triumph and satisfaction, pride and a deeply burning sense of possessiveness. His inner caveman warrior had been awakened and wanted to rush around the room, peeing into the corners, marking it—and her—as his own, while shouting Mine! And randomly smashing things for emphasis.But he knew that was he was feeling was the equivalent of emotional and hormonal indigestion. He hadn’t done this in a long time. And he particularly hadn’t done it with a woman he liked as much as this one.
