And who is he to say that it's outright wrong when they have been respectable to the other's ideology.
They are put at odds there, push comes to shove. Matt wonders if they will burn and fizzle out the way that attraction does when it burns hot. His heart beats fast and his demeanor lightens at the possibility of the Londoner around.]
You can be more specific.
[As if there is any doubt as to what is in store. Desperate, messy kisses before alcohol is even involved. Eventually tasting whatever is on tap from one another's skins.]
That's--way, way too generous of you to say. I'm a lot of things. Not quite a saint.
[And not like any devil he has dealt with before.]
