"“We could go back to the studio apartment,” Reece said. “And I could try to fuck you over to the dark side.” “I should not be tempted by that,” Grayson muttered. “Maybe I should try to fuck the bad out of you.” Reece shivered as a frisson of desire went through him. “You’re more than welcome to try,” he said meaningfully. “And if at first you don’t succeed, you can try and try again.”" -Edge of Mercy

"Arms tightened around him. “Reece?” His name again, muffled and distant, a vibration under him. “You awake?” Reece let his lips brush Grayson’s skin again, right over his heart. “Maybe.” Grayson exhaled, the gentle movement shifting Reece with it. “Maybe?” “This could be a really good dream.” Grayson’s skin was so warm under his lips. “Goddamn, are we really touching?” “Sure, sure, that’s definitely the thing to focus on.” Grayson’s dry sarcasm hitched as Reece began kissing a trail up his skin. “After all, why would you want me to explain where you are—” “Doesn’t matter.” “—or tell you what happened—” “Didn’t ask.” “—or let you know if you’re in danger—” “Don’t care.” Reece kissed his collarbone. “Fuck. We can touch.”" -Edge of Mercy

"“We’re not gonna keep building your immunity to me. I’m not gonna let you get any more used to my touch than you already are.” Grayson’s body made a liar of him as he bent his head another inch. “We’re not kissing. Not a chance.” “You sure?” Reece’s voice was barely louder than his breaths. “Because you look like a man about to make a bad decision.” “You make me want to,” Grayson heard himself whisper." -Edge of Mercy

"Grayson’s deep drawl rolled through the phone. “You just took that picture?” “I had a photo shoot last week, actually, Empaths in Animal Hats. It’s an upcoming gallery exhibit,” Reece said bitingly. “Of course I just took the fucking picture. Why?” There was a pause. “I’m sorry, does me asking a question mean you have to ruminate on how mysterious to be?” Reece snapped." -Edge of Mercy
