"What," Dom said hoarsely, "do the other wolves do, the ones that aren't ... dominant?" His voice was all wanting angles.
Billy closed his eyes, closed them tightly and resisted the urge to grind downward, to push against Dom. "They take it, Dominic," he murmured against the back of Dom's neck, and felt Dom's skin ripple with chills against his lips. "They fucking take it."
This is the first and probably my favorite part of the Convergence series. It's all about wanting and mixed signals and Billy thinking that he knows what is best for him and Dom. Perhaps says a bit too much about me, my intense love for this story. But, there you have it.

Andy’s smile became a little sharper than usual, a little feral. “No, probably not. Not in the mood to celebrate tonight?”
“No. Not after today,” Sean let it lie. He could be jumping at nothing.
“Mmm. Mmm, this morning wasn’t great,” Andy seemed to know instinctively what he wanted to talk about if not all that he meant.
“It didn’t get any better after lunch,” Sean told him. “Something just… Well, the whole dynamic was completely off for a myriad of reasons. It just didn’t come together and reach the level it had to achieve for the emotional authenticity we needed.”

His voice was low and mean but his teeth were bared a little in what Sean supposed could technically be called a smile.
I know! The pairing is a bit of a shock to me too. I think I started reading it because the thought of the pairing name (AsKis) amused me. I'm twelve. But the story is excellent, and there is a desperation to both of them that I found... well, not appealling... but understandable.

It started in New Zealand, in a makeup trailer at dawn. A kiss like a slap, that fierce and full of fury. And then nothing but black eyes for months.
Sometimes I just like things. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Billy and Orlando keep crashing into one another.

"Shh," Remus says, rubbing his arm, soothing him. Deep down, he thinks he remembers he ought to be offended by this treatment, this reduction to something weak that needs soothing. But he is weak, and he does need soothing, and it's Remus, so he says nothing.
It's all about the very last line of the story. Just trust me.
