Oakley has been my best friend since we were eight. We live together, work together, and our lives are completely intertwined. His past girlfriends never understood how close we are, but Oak says the right girl wouldn't be threatened. I'm not so sure. Now we're both dating a pair of best friends who seem to get it.

When my parents threatened to cut me off if I wasn't married by the time I turned 30, I thought finding a wife would be easy.

I used to be a cop, and now I kill people for fun. Yeah, yeah I know. Never admit to your crimes. But you don't know who I am. To you, I'm just words in a blurb.

All Killers Are Bastards, or however the fuck the saying goes.

Jace Ryan is such a cliché. The star baseball player who can get any girl he wants. He's also a close-minded jerk who can't seem to understand why a guy would want to wear makeup.

His bullying is annoying, and yeah, I might have been afraid once, but I won't let it get to me. I won't change who I am for anyone. And despite what he might say in front of his friends, Jace doesn't actually seem to hate me as much as he claims. Especially when we're alone, and I'm on my knees for him.
