Chapter 60. The Man I Loved

http://louisev.livejournal.com/17670.html

Another classic....

Colson set the book back down, splashed water on his face from the tap, and looked at himself in the mirror. “Yer queer, boy. Ya fuck men an it feels real good. An ya loved a man fer yer whole fuckin life. An yer lovin one now.” He stood silent before the mirror after making these pronouncements, his eyes gleaming with emotion, his drawn-down mouth looking doubtful. “An that ain’t gonna change,” he added softly...

Chapter 61. Bill's Return

http://louisev.livejournal.com/18173.html

with this classic line:

“Yes, Deputy,” Colson said softly.

Ellery sniffed, nibbled at Colson’s lip before he stepped back. “Chief Deputy Darlin ta you.”


Enjoy!
