L.J. Shen

Bane Naked surfer. Habitual pothead. A con, a liar, a thief and a fraud. Last I heard, he was extorting the rich and screwing their wives for a living. Which is why I'm more than a little surprised to find him at my threshold, looking for my friendship, my services, and most puzzling of all-looking humbled. Thing is, I'm on a boycott. Literally-I cut boys from my life. Permanently. Problem is, Bane is not a boy, he is all man, and I'm falling, crashing, drowning in his sweet, perfect lies.

‘My Whole Life Has Been Pledged to This Meeting with You

 - Pushkin. I only knew one person who went gaga over the Russian poet, and, like the famous Alexander, he was currently six feet under. My friends began to paddle back to shore. I couldn’t move. It felt like my balls were ten tons heavy. I didn’t believe in love at first sight. Lust, maybe, but even that wasn’t the word I was looking for. No. This girl fucking intrigued me.’

‘Jesse Carter was going to be mine before she even knew me. Before I even knew her.‘

‘I wanted her before. Before she became business. Before the truth caged her in. Before the secrets gushed out. I never did get to surf that day. My surfboard broke. Should have known it was an omen. My heart was going to be next in line. And for a small chick, she did one hell of a fucking job obliterating it.‘

‘Beautiful things were often so useless.‘

‘The old Jesse would explain, and bargain, and argue. The old Jesse would try to save face. The old Jesse was dead.’

‘Baron Spencer, dubbed Vicious by everyone who was unfortunate enough to know him, smirked.‘

‘She was beautiful, but she looked like a dazzling tragedy, specially designed to fuck you up.‘

‘Because I found you in the dirt that’s called life, and you stood out. Like an opportunity I cannot miss.‘

‘Always part ways with people you love like you’ll never see them again.‘

“Stop being so afraid of love. It can’t kill you!”
