Maybe I want a little excitement in my life.” His voice came out quite happily. ”The good kind, at least.” His eyes crinkled as he thought about how he’d been spending his nights with Abasi. And mornings, and days sometimes.

And maybe I can think of worse fates than being used as lube by you. At least that means I'd go out with a bang.” Then the corners of his lips twitched upwards into a full grin for a brief moment. ”Plus I think I’m still too skinny to be a satisfactory snack, especially for you.” It was weird to be glad that he was still underweight.
Loren immediately shook his head. ”No. I'm sorry. It doesn’t have to be magic. Just...something to guard my mind.” He spoke more quietly this time, but no less firmly.
