"Climbing into my house, into my bed, touching everything except for me. I was yours before we even met and I'll be yours until we die," Helios continued against the curve of Icarus's neck and Icarus was helpless, lost in the sharp fantasy of such a thing.

Gods, Helios can be so intense! Those two boys! T_T I'm loving every second of this book. I don't want it to end and I'm scared of how it's going to end.

"What does it feel like?" Helios asked.
Icarus looked up into Helios's brown eyes and stayed - caught to the quick.
"Holy."
Helios sat up in the bed, his broad back to Icarus, and wrenched his hands through his hair.

Those two are killing me. T_T I'm sure I aleady mentioned this but damn, the prose and the way the charactes are written: Chef's Kiss! This book is a revelation. I love it so much.

Icarus placed an unlit cigarette between Helios's teeth.
"Contraband," he murmured. "For when things get rough and I'm not around."
"Fuck, dude ... Fuck," Helios hissed, pinking delicately. He looked hungrily, but still didn't touch him.

Hot damn, Icarus is smooth. *lol* Poor Helios never stood a chance. Neither did Luca, Julian, Sorrel and Celestina. They're all besotted with him.

"Their soft gestures, the hurt in Luca's eyes, Celestina reaching across the water. Sorrel's translucent lashes and pink cheeks, looking away to gather the bravery to ask him to come to his home.
And Icarus wanted. It boiled under his skin.
He had never felt so lonely in his life."

Both boys are aching and hurting so much. I love the prose in this. It's so beautiful and direct. Poor Helios, though. >_<

Helios's hand flew up to grab Icarus's wrist, but he jerked away.
"Stop touching me."
"Stop liking it," Helios shot back immediately and Icarus saw red.

Uh oh, already so much tension between them! This is going to be good.

"I*m Helios Black. You rude idiot."

What an introduction! *lol* I love Helios already. <3
