“You’re in my bunk,” came the voice from the other side of the pod.
Ryan O’Reily blinked. Those must have been some really good tits he shared with Beecher, because right now, Ryan was seeing Dino Ortolani, standing less than five feet away from him.
“My bunk now, lasagna boy. Shouldn’t you be burning in the fires of hell by now?”
“Funny you should mention fire.”
“Hey, I had nothing to do with that.”
Dino shook his head. “Same old Ryan. Deny, deny, deny.”
“You’re lecturing me about denial? What about your own rumor control?”
“What’s a few bullets between friends?”
“Friends?” His voice went up an octave and he was glad no one else was around to witness this. “Jesus Christ, can’t you even fucking admit it now?”
Dino sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Ryan. “This is really fucked up.”
“Yeah, it is.”
“I’d touch you if I could.”
“Nobody can see.”
“I know. But…” Dino laid a hand against Ryan’s chest. It seemed to vanish with the contact.
“This is hell.”
“Yeah, it is.”
