“I don’t need to kiss you to fuck your ass, do I?” I replied and knew I was being crass on purpose.


“You’re a piece of work, man.” He sat up. “Don’t you ever want a connection with anybody? You can’t fuck around forever. Soon enough, you’ll need to settle down. We all do.”


Oh, great, another guy who wanted permanence.


“Why? Why do I have to? Who wrote that book? Is there some law that says I mustbe in a relationship?”


Nico studied me for a minute before responding. “Actually, no, there isn’t. And if it truly didn’t bother you, you wouldn’t be reacting this way. A hardcore cynic wouldn’t fuck the way you do, making sure his partner gets what he wants, every damn time. Because that’s what you do, Milo. You do that for me, and it makes it easy to fall for you, whether you want it to happen or not. You should think about that. There’s more to you than just being a good fuck. You care.”
