“After twiddling his thumbs for a moment, Michael finally gave in. He hopped out of the truck, both of them trying to stare each other down like it was a pissing contest. “I was almost hoping you’d put up more of a fight,” Damon taunted. Michael teased back. “Make ya hard, do I?” Damon smiled and climbed in, while Michael circled the truck and got in behind me. “What took you so long?” I griped, shifting the truck into gear. “What the hell do you do in there so long?” “He’s in there every Saturday night,” Kai pointed out. “They got some meeting of the over-eighteen female chastity club or something?” “Come on,” Damon whined. “That’s way too easy for me. They don’t have to be eighteen.” “Or female,” Kai added. I snorted as Damon whipped around and threw a playful punch at Kai. “Bastard.” Kai just laughed, trying to shield himself. I shook my head, pulling away from the curb and steering back onto the street. But then Damon shouted at me. “Wait, wait, stop.” I slammed on my brakes, seeing Griffin Ashby, the town’s mayor, dart in front of my truck. Shit. That was close.”

“Yeah, yeah, be frank.” “Joseph, may I be frank?” “Be whoever the fuck you want, Doc. I’m not your keeper,” I mumbled, enjoying the feel of Molloy’s fingers in my hair so much, I leaned in closer and rested my chin on her shoulder. “You be Frank and I’ll be Joey.” “No, Joe, he meant… Never mind. Go ahead, Doctor.” “In cases like Joseph’s—” “Joey,” I grumbled. “It’s Joey, Frank.”

“Eyes are up here, wifey.” “I’m a doctor, Rhodes. Aced anatomy, in fact. I know where your eyes are located. I just don’t care right now.”
