  <description>&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;The tip of the cigarrette smoldered as he raised it to his lips, taking a long drag before flicking the ash to the wayside, scanning the row of cars in front of him.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parking garage was dimly lit, but it did nothing to hide the luxury of the vehicles he had to choose from, neither how inherently vunerable they were. Easy enough to strip down, sell for parts. Get him that much closer to one of his own. Vintage Porsche, maybe. Corvette. Even better. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flicking the cigarette to the ground, he ground it out with his heel, moving toward the Benz parked on the right.</description>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;Seattle!AU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;He had no idea when he&apos;d become such a fucking night owl. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Probably after working the graveyard shift and switching back to days. Hell on his sleep patterns, and no matter how fucked he knew he was going to be come work in the morning, he couldn&apos;t bring himself to crawl into bed. Too hyped up, too antsy. Finally, he&apos;d abandoned his tiny apartment, taking a jacket and his cigarettes and heading for the piers.</description>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;Matrix!AU&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was dark. Dark and dank and he&apos;d done the living in a cave thing, but there was always an escape. Self-imposed isolation was nothing compared to no way out. Two days and he was craving a return. A return that, according to Chimera, to Candice, wasn&apos;t possible. He kept quiet, going about the duties on the ship assigned to him, trying to pretend it was just a dream he couldn&apos;t wake up from &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So when they told him he was going to &apos;plug in&apos;, he jumped at the chance, his mind not even processing the rest of the words. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He wanted to go back.</description>

  <description>&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Matrix!au&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The quiet squeak&amp;nbsp; of the sponge on the glass grated in his ears, leaning down to soak it in the warm, soapy water before straightening, moving it in wide circles over the store-front window. His hood was pulled up and over his lengthening hair, sunglasses obscuring his eyes. In the shadow of the skyscrapers or not, the city was too damn bright in the afternoon. Night after night spent staring at his computer screen really wasn&apos;t easying the strain on his eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tossing the sponge back in the bucket, he moved to toss empty it into the storm drain. Darting a quick glance upwards at one of the shining office buildings, he wished the word sellout didn&apos;t have such a bitter taste in his mouth. Company man or not, pulling down six digits as a programmer would&apos;ve been fucking heaven compared to this shit.</description>

  <description>Lance was half asleep on the couch when she came in, watching wrestling and nursing a beer. The latter in an attempt to kill the splitting headache he&apos;d had all day, the former because...well, it was wrestling. Didn&apos;t really need an explanation to watch two guys beat the hell out of each other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&quot;Hey,&quot; he mumbled, glancing over at her. &quot;Don&apos;t turn on any lights, okay? I have a bitch of a migraine.&quot;</description>

  <description>&lt;b&gt;--Locked to those who know Lance w/ the exception of Wanda--&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;I normally don&apos;t like to use this fucking thing, cause fuck, whining about your problems to strangers has to get old real fucking fast, but I...need to get this out somewhere and I&apos;m not going to fucking &lt;i&gt;talk&lt;/i&gt; to anybody about it. So its either this or get blind fucking drunk and I&apos;ve fucked up enough stuff that way, so I&apos;m trying this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pietro&apos;s dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has been dead. For a month now, and I didn&apos;t fucking know. Probably the longest he&apos;s ever been still and it&apos;s funny but it&apos;s not, not at &lt;i&gt;all, &lt;/i&gt;because it&apos;s Pietro. He&apos;s not supposed to stop moving, not ever and he&apos;s not supposed to be dead. It&apos;s not supposed to work like that. He was a fucking celebrity. An Olympian. Someone important, goddammit, who had people who needed him and he&apos;s not supposed to be dead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s not fucking fair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I betrayed him. I fucking sold him out to save my own ass and Wanda, too, and she called me &lt;i&gt;family&lt;/i&gt;. He was my best fucking friend in highschool and he fucking did something with his life and her too and I sold them out. Why? So I wouldn&apos;t go to fucking prison? Where I&apos;ve been headed my whole fucking life anyway?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No. It&apos;s not going to be like this. I have to...fix this or something. Somehow. I need to take care of Wanda cause I owe him that. I owe him at least that.</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summary: &lt;/b&gt;When he thinks about her, he tries to remember good things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;OOC comments welcome&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;Read more...&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;She carried nail polish in her purse.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Aphrodite’s Pink Nightie was what she swore up and down it was called, pale and pink and perfectly suited for her. She would pull it out at the strangest places, from at her desk in homeroom to in his Jeep at a stoplight, correcting a miniscule flaw with practiced hands. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;The smell turned his stomach, but the way she’d smile at him afterwards, mouth pursed and coy as she blew on them to dry…more than made up for it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;He remembers stuff like that.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Her perfume, something overpowering and flowery, the sound of her laugh and the freckles on her nose that she tried to cover up with powder.&amp;nbsp;The time she tried to make cupcakes and ended up with blackened lumps of cake batter and a small kitchen fire.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Her small breasts and thick eyelashes, the way she’d giggle and push at his hands if he tried to touch her below the waist.

About telling Pietro he was getting in her pants so that the other boy would leave him alone when he took her to the dance. Taking her there in the first place, feeling like a fraud as he tried to play the part.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Doing it all because when she looked at him, he felt like a better person.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;But not for long.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;*&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;The looks started to change.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;They started to match the ones her friends wore when he talked to her in school.&amp;nbsp;When he walked her to class. The undercurrent of distrust and disgust that they projected, the question on their minds clear. Her kisses became less frequent and less flirtatious. Coy smiles stopped being just for him and became meant for others.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 0pt;&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;And still he followed her around. Still he called her.

She spies the empty beer bottles he’s been using as tanks and has him by the arm, dragging him to his feet.

It also means stuff is harder and kids are meaner. There are less arts and crafts and more numbers and he pushes his desk over when Amy Littleton makes fun of how he reads.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;He likes his teacher, though, and so he tries to be good.

She erases the board and comes to sit beside him, handing him a sucker. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Liking her again, he unwraps it, showing her after a minute how it turned his tongue blue. She laughs and then gets quiet, asking him why his eye is black and blue. He tells her he got in a fight. Her face looks sad, though, and he feels bad for lying to her.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;She asks him if he wants to go play now, and he forgets all about it in his excitement.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;His mommy was too sick to make him lunch that morning and so he steals a ho-ho from Jenny Patterson and pulls her pigtails when she cries. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;He doesn’t get recess again, but his teacher lets him play with the colored chalk on the board and he almost doesn’t mind.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;He remembers it’s his birthday when the principal says it on the morning announcements.

He tells her he got a remote control car and a new bike and GI Joes and definitely not any clothes. The rest of the class oohs and aaahs, but she has that sad look that makes him feel bad for lying again.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;At recess, she lets him pick teams for kickball.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;His mommy has a man at the house when he goes home.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;The door to her bedroom is open but he doesn’t go say hi.

  <description>&lt;strong&gt;Date: &lt;/strong&gt;Winter 2005&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Characters: &lt;/strong&gt;Lance Alvers, Candice Wilmer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary: &lt;/strong&gt;Lance chooses the wrong person to play confessor to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Status: &lt;/strong&gt;In progress...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Private. Cause, well. It&apos;s personal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He stared at the number, black ink on white paper, standing out in stark relief.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The phone sat beside him, dial tone barely audible as he tried to decide whether he really wanted to call just to pitch his sob story. He needed a drinking buddy, though, at the very least, and the fact that his chosen partner in drunken self-pity was a woman didn&apos;t escape him. But...fuck, Candice was a better choice than most people he knew. She didn&apos;t fucking coddle him and he didn&apos;t have anything to lose in regards to her.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two things that put her above Joey and Zach in the whole confessing to murder shtick.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And maybe, just maybe, he wanted some punishment for this. Fuck knew he deserved it. At least she would give it to him straight, no holds barred.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sighing, Lance punched in her number, waiting for it to ring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Date: &lt;/strong&gt;Summer 2000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Character: &lt;/strong&gt;Lance Alvers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Summary: &lt;/strong&gt;While at a party, Lance experiments and realizes something terrifying about himself. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Status: &lt;/strong&gt;Complete&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;OOC comments welcome&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;cutid1&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;ljcut&quot; text=&quot;He couldn&apos;t breathe.&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;…bang bang you’re dead hole in your head…&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;His fingers tapped restlessly on the arm of the sofa, unable to distinguish the pounding of the bass from the pounding in his head. He could still taste the chalky remnants of the Desoxsyn, the pills scattered across the tabletop. It was making him nauseous, along with the stuffy, thick air of the basement, but he felt glued to his seat, strains of Silverfuck twining with his own thoughts.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Sometime later, maybe an hour, maybe five minutes, he lurched off the couch, pushing past a drunken girl with pink hair. She was leaning against the doorframe, dry heaving, and the sight and smell nearly had him vomiting along with her. He couldn’t breathe down here, and desperately, he made for the stairs, heart near pounding out of his chest.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;He made it outside, slipping in the wet grass and gasping in a lungful of air. The earlier buzz was wearing off, leaving him sick and crippled in the backyard of a faceless classmate. Falling over on his side, he tried his best to breathe past the hammering of his heart against his ribs, the sound rushing in his ears, distracting him.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;The sudden feel of hands on his arms startled him, his eyes wide and confused, something nonsensical falling from his lips. Fingertips pressed like sandpaper across his face, trying to shut him up. Clawing at them, he somehow found his hands tangled in thick hair, registering dark eyes and pale skin before he smashed their mouths together.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Those same rough fingers scrabbled at his hips, slipping under his shirt and leaving scorching welts in their wake. Flat teeth biting his mouth, flat chest under his hands and fuck, not that, what the hell—&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Lance pulled away roughly, forgetting to let go and taking several strands of dark hair with him. Stumbling to his feet, he made it halfway down the hill before strong arms, warm arms, &lt;i&gt;male &lt;/i&gt;arms wrapped around his waist, tugging him down into the mud.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He choked on a startled gasp, fists swinging, catching, twisting in cool, sweat-soaked cotton and there were lips on his, a tongue against his, something hard pressed against him and this wasn’t happening, why wasn’t he pulling away, why wasn’t he hitting him—&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;“Fuck you,” he hissed soundlessly, the air sucked from his lungs by that foreign mouth, biting down until he tasted blood. Sandpaper hands were in his jeans, and fists that meant to break, pulled closer.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Sharp teeth bit at his neck, sucking hard, vampire teeth and the thought made him laugh, loud and hollow, till those hands were back over his mouth, suffocating him. He writhed under the force, hips pushing upward and meeting faded denim. He couldn’t breathe now, but he was still laughing, that mouth pressing against razor-edged fingers, swallowing him through layers of skin.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Let go, &lt;/i&gt;he thought, choking on his own bile, kicking and biting, trying to get away, but only moving closer and he was seeing spots now, but maybe it was all just a trip. A bad trip and this couldn’t be him. This couldn’t be him pressing like a whore under another guy, strangling and screaming in his head, but not pulling back, not escaping. He should be murdering for this, he knew, but he just wanted to taste again and fuck, he couldn’t &lt;i&gt;breathe&lt;/i&gt;--&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;A knee finally connected, breaking the hold as the hands fell away from his mouth, and he gasped, swallowing convulsively like a fish out of water. Fury and fear combined to rush through his veins, more potent than the drug itself. His fists impacted over and over with soft, giving flesh, wringing cries from that gaping mouth, that disgusting, raping, pleasant mouth and dammit dammit &lt;i&gt;dammit. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;He hit until there was no noise but the wind and the cicadas, then pushed to his feet, running until the truth was far behind him, until he was bent over behind a withered oak, vomiting and shaking.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;Behind him, sirens wailed.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
