“It’s good for him. He needs the exercise—Fritz! How are you, buddy?”

-Butch, Vishous, & Rhage”

“Then," I said, "suppose I did ask you?"
"Then," he said, "this."
And he closed his lips over mine.
He was my enemy. He was evil. He wasn't even human. I should have been disgusted, but just like the last time, I couldn't help myself any more than water could stop itself running downhill. I managed to slide a hand up his chest, get two keys off their strap, and clench my hand around them; then I dissolved into the feeling, and kissed him back just as eagerly.
It was nothing like kissing Shade. That had been like a dream that slowly enfolded me; this was like a battle or a dance. He took possession of my mouth and I took possession of his, and we held each other in a perilous, perfect balance like the circulation of the planets.”
― Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“Once upon a time I'd left Los Angeles and been swallowed down the throat of a life in which my sole loyalty was to my tongue. My belly. Myself. My mother called me selfish and so selfish I became. From nineteen to twenty-five I was a mouth, sating. For myself I made three-day braises and chose the most marbled meats, I played loose with butter and cream. My arteries were young, my life pooling before me, and I lapped, luxurious, from it. I drank, smoked, flew cheap red-eyes around Europe, I lived in thrilling shitholes, I found pills that made nights pass in a blink or expanded time to a soap bubble, floating, luminous, warm. Time seemed infinite, then. I begged famous chefs for the chance to learn from them. I entered competitions and placed in a few. I volunteered to work brunch, turn artichokes, clean the grease trap. I flung my body at all of it: the smoke and singe of the grill station, a duck's breast split open like a geode, two hundred oysters shucked in the walk-in, sex in the walk-in, drunken rides around Paris on a rickety motorcycle and no helmet, a white truffle I stole and shaved in secret over a bowl of Kraft mac n' cheese for me, just me, as my body strummed the high taut selfish song of youth. On my twenty-fifth birthday I served black-market fugu to my guests, the neurotoxin stinging sweetly on my lips as I waited to see if I would, by eating, die. At that age I believed I knew what death was: a thrill, like brushing by a friend who might become a lover.”
― C Pam Zhang, Land of Milk and Honey

“I'm starting to wonder if I should ever leave you alone," he said mildly, dropping a hand to my shoulder.
I stiffened.
"Then don't," I said. "Stay right here and never strike another bargain."
"Oh, you're that desperate to be with me?" He leaned forward, his hand still on my shoulder. "If you wanted a kiss, you only needed to ask."
His touch was light, but I felt it as precisely as the lines of a lithograph, with my body for the paper.”
― Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“More than playing with my friends, I love to play with my enemies.”
― P.S. Jagadeesh Kumar

“But this is me, telling you now, that it's all just play. It's just a sexy game, and we can all have fun with it. Feel things in a... a sort of safe place, where we can hurt or feel good or hate or be afraid, and it's all okay because we all know we're just playing together.”
― Simon Strange, Daddy's Other Boy
