    “You?” Jude prompted slowly, dark eyes locked on Snow’s.

    “I…want to continue this conversation after we pick up my things.”

    Jude smiled. “Coward,” he murmured softly.

    Snow’s hands snapped out, grabbed Jude and hauled him close. “I just don’t want to fucking tell you that I love you in the front seat of my car, dammit.”

    Jude blinked at him. His mouth fell open, then closed.

    “Do it,” he pressed. “Please.”

    Andrei rattled something off, the foreign words wrapped in his deep voice, so they sounded incredibly sexy and inviting. Lucas pulled back to look Andrei in the eye. “What did you say?”

    “Your monkey has stolen my bicycle.”

    Wait time is the worst
    I can hardly sit
    No one has the time
    Someone’s always late

    I look for you
    And you look for me
    Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

    I don’t know why
    I came down
    I hold your phone
    Don’t wake up
    I hear a voice
    In the ground

    Tell me, don’t tell me
    The hard part is damning
    There’s something that you would not like me to tell you
    Tell me, don’t tell me
    The hard part is damning
    There’s something that you would not like me to tell you

    Wait time is to blame
    Mat top frame’s a trip
    We all have the time
    Someone’s always fed
    I look for you, and you look away
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    I don’t know why
    I came down
    I hold your phone
    Don’t wake up
    I hear a voice
    In the groundWaking up is so much fun to do.

    Frail of heart
    Renounce all fear
    Locked away inside
    All these years
    Remain in the light
    Renounce all fears
    For you have been
    Mesmerised
    Break this spell
    Of silence

    We ain’t going to the town
    We’re going to the city
    Gonna trek this shit around
    And make this place a heart to be a part of

    We ain’t going to the town
    We’re going to the city
    Gonna trek this shit around
    And make this place a heart to be a part of again

    We’re going
    We’re going
    We’re going
    And we’re gone
    We’re going
    We’re going
    We’re going
    And we’re gone

    So baby make it with me
    In preparation for tonight
    We’ve got so much to live
    But that’s not what makes this right
    We’ve been building up steam
    Ignited by this fight
    So do this thing with me instead of
    Tying on a tight one tonight

    We’re going
    We’re going
    We’re going
    And we’re gone
    We ain’t going to the town
    We’re going to the city
    Gonna trek this shit around
    And make this place a heart to be a part of again

    Mine. My wolf, Lucas thought.

    Really? The man’s eyebrows rose. Am I?

    Yes. Lucas found himself answering firmly. You are. My wolf.

    Brave, beautiful boy. The man in the chair was laughing, not unkindly, but amused for sure.

    Don’t you want to be mine? Lucas asked, boldly. Boldly, because, after all, what did he have to offer this amazing man?

    What would you do with me if I was…yours? The man asked without moving those sculpted lips.

    Anything. Everything. Lucas answered.

    And I will hold you hostage
    Make you part of my conspiracy
    You will be witness to carnage
    You know there’s no you without me

    I’m gonna shake you
    Till it wakes you, yeah
    From your waking dream
    Show you affecting scenes
    Of life beyond your front door
    I will exploit you
    Then conscript you
    For my narrative schemes
    Show you distressing scenes
    I’m gonna drag you from your bed onto the floor
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary

    I’m gonna dig up what you buried, yeah
    By any means necessary

    There you go again
    Finding brilliant ways to make things harder
    Are we smarter alone or in this endless Stockholm syndrome?
    Here’s what is known
    We’re gonna break this two-way mirror

    I’m gonna shake you, break you
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary
    By any means necessary (Til some)
    By any means necessary (Some day)
    By any means necessary (Whoa, some sweet day)

    We will be playing bridge on the psych ward
    With Arthur, Jane and Lou
    We will be playing bridge on the psych ward
    With Barbara, Gene and Sue
    Whoa, and if you ever start to get bored
    You know there’s no one to blame but you

    And I will hold you hostage
