C21 Box Set

“Your first name, my last, and vice versa. We might get better anagrams. Besides which, if anyone figures them out, it won’t come up with either of us.”


“Okay, that might work.” Mars typed Garret Russell into the anagram site. Then he did the same for Dylan Marsden, copying down ones that weren’t too off-the-wall. “For me, I think regal_rustlers. You can be randy*mens*lad.”


Dylan snorted. “That’s right; make me the target in this game we’re playing.”


“It’s not a game,” Mars cautioned. “And the name works for what we’re doing.”


“I know. Sorry. It’s just…I mean, come on. Randy? Who uses that word these days? And what the hell do rustlers have to do with being in a gay chat room?”


“I didn’t make it up. The anagram site did. I’ll say I’m a cowboy so it’ll fit. I…work at a dude ranch out west.”


Dylan rolled his eyes. “Ride ‘em cowboy. Hey now, there’s an idea.” He grinned at Mars.


“Not until tonight, wiseass. We have work to do.”
