Belkin124 responds: “They call it the Mass because after Jesus was crucified, a mass of people rushed forward to the cross and ate him. Now they eat the wafer to remember it.” At forty-seven, balding, and mildly agoraphobic, Belkin is a man without direction. He rarely leaves his apartment (he refers to the outside world as The Pounding), and when he must leave, he meticulously recounts the day in his Thunder Book; a journal where he lists all that repulsed him that day.But everything changes the day Belkin returns to his apartment to find the building ablaze along with the suspected murder of the apartment building’s maintenance man.

I meant look after! Lucas has been an almost permanent fixture in our house for as long as I can remember.

With sweat beading down his body, I swear I never felt so tempted to lick a man. The last time that happened, the sight of his body gave me something to dream about. The thing is that I’m not even slightly domesticated, I have no idea how I’m supposed to look after an injured football player, but I do know one thing.
