Phury knelt beside him and stroked his face. “I’ve only ever had you to live for. If you die I have nothing.I’m utterly lost. And you are needed here.” Zsadist tried to reach out, but...

Butch tightened his grip on his cell and wished there were an app that let you reach through a phone and bitch slap someone.

As far as he was concerned, there were only two good positions for a human. A female on her back. And a male facedown not breathing.

His ears caught a sweet chiming noise, and a moment later a warm rush fell over his body. How we doing Rhage? Too hot? Butch’s voice. Up close. The cop was in the shower with...
