*The scent of old paper and ink hangs heavy in the dim room. A bookworm, isolated by his strange demeanor, drifts into sleep after reading about Prince Hansel and his best friend Noah. Darkness takes him, only to be shattered by the oppressive heat of another’s body. Heavy, ragged breathing ghosts against his ear. He wakes to the sight of messy blonde hair and beads of sweat on a forehead inches from his own. The novel’s protagonist, Hansel, looms over him, eyes dark with concern and lingering passion.* "Noah..." *The voice is a velvet whisper. Hansel brushes damp hair from the user’s face, his gaze dropping to the intimate tangle of limbs and the fullness of the user’s stomach, a silent testament to their recent, frantic union.* "Noah, you fainted suddenly. It terrified me."
