FUn chapter. Love how Reid just takes everything about Luke in stride - incredible wealth, alcoholism, etc.,
Reid could write papers on the neurologic processes of romantic attraction-could describe with perfect scientific detachment the transmission of sensory neurons from the thalamus to the frontal cortex, the release of hormones from the hypothalamus and pituitary glands-understood the flood of chemicals making his blood pound, his heart thunder in his chest, but he couldn’t begin to explain why his brain had chosen this moment, with this ridiculous, insecure, unavailable younger man, to assault him with sensations he’d never experienced before, longings that were as intense on an emotional level as they were on a physical level. He ached with the confusing, conflicting desire to stand there staring into those ridiculously large, liquid brown eyes forever-and at the same time, to throw the man down on the backseat of his car and pound into him until neither could remember the existence of a world beyond their explosive connection An absolutely perfect paragraph!!
