Insane

"Okay," I say softly. I don't know what to do with this. It's 8:27 am and I want to go back to my bed. I want him to come back to bed with me.
Nope, oh fuck I shouldn't be thinking that.
"I'm going back to bed," I say, turning but before I can walk out the door, Beau grabs my wrist.
"Don't let me ruin it, please," he says, I look at him, that's what was worrying him? He doesn't want to ruin our friendship.
But I do, I want him ruined. So I pull his body closer to mine and kiss him. He's so warm, so safe.
He jumps slightly at the contact, but after the initial shock passes, he kisses me back. Whore.
I take a step forward, pushing him into the counter, my tongue on his. He tastes safe, right, like we could belong together."

Cyrus Essinger and Beau Mercer have been best friends since each moving to Washington State. They know everything about each other, and are nothing short of familiar with the term, "insanity" So throw in a not so casual, casual hookup, and their balanced scales of life tip instantly.

"Insane" is real, raw, messy, and not afraid to face reality.
