Summary
A dam bursts inside Nicky, and he is so swept away in the tide of his relief he admits everything. “I meant it,” he says. “Of course I meant it, I’ve fallen in love with you. Let me keep you. Let me stay with you. Marry me, Joe.”
“I thought I would spend my nights in darkness,” Joe tells him, and Nicky knows this about him, too, that he will not give a straight answer when a poem would do. “I thought I’d live on a pale shadow of what you’ve made me feel. But you – your smile could light up the darkest night, Nicolò. Your heart is so sweet, my love, you’ve captured mine so easily. I’ll stay with you for as long as you’ll have me.”
Nicky would blame the wine, he would blame the summer breeze, the beautiful view, temporary insanity, anything, but it would be a lie and he’s an honest man. If he’s drunk on anything, it’s Joe. If anything makes him shiver, it’s Joe. If there is any beautiful view, it’s Joe’s eyes, bright with tears and smiling at him. If he’s insane, it’s only love.
OR: The one where Joe and Nicky get married after knowing each other for two weeks.

Summary
Joe and Booker were sparring in the middle of the training room. They were both shirtless, sweat dripping down their firm, defined bodies, deep grunts and lopsided grins. Joe looked perfectly delicious. His corded muscles were glistening under the strain of every punch; so much strength and power in the way he held himself. Controlled power; controlled strength. Joe could end Booker with just one punch, they both knew that, even Booker did, but Nicky knew Joe wanted to have fun with his brother first. Joe flashed Nicky a bright smile and a wink, always aware of his presence, no matter where or how silent Nicky was, and that left Nicky flustered from head to toe, even after all these years.Nicky blamed that goddam haircut.
Joe knew the effect he had on him. Bastard.
His bastard.

Summary
Nile looks down at the board and frowns.
“I don’t think ‘sexile’ is a valid Scrabble word, by the way.”
“Well it should be,” Joe says, indignantly.

Summary
Nicolo should have known better than to creep up in the dark and wake a man who, little more than a month ago, had actively tried to kill him several times.
