They’re actually pretty similar, like the pack is a mini version of the city, only louder, busier, and mor
PART FOUR“Why do you always wear black?”“Isn’t black too much of a stretch?” Rome smirks as he answers my question with one of his. We’re lying down on my bed, facing each other. He’s in a casual crewneck long-sleeve black t-shirt, and my fingers trace his pecs through the shirt as we talk about n
