Fight because you don’t know how to die quietly. Win because you don’t know how to lose. This king’s ruled long enough—it’s time to tear his castle down
All for the Game series by Nora Sakavic
I want—I know I shouldn’t stay, but I can't—I don’t want to lose this. I don’t want to lose any of you.
“Andrew, they want to take me away from here. They want to enroll me in the Witness Protection Program so my father’s people can’t find me. I don’t want—” he started, but that wasn’t fair. “If you tell me to leave, I’ll go.”
He didn’t say it would kill him, but he didn’t have to. Andrew hooked his fingers in the collar of Nathaniel’s sweatshirt and tugged just enough for him to feel it. For a moment Nathaniel was months away from this moment, standing in the darkened front hall of Andrew’s house for the first time with a warm key digging into his palm.

The first time Andrew saw Neil without his medication blurring his judgment, he thought, This could be a problem, but he did not take it seriously then.
For the longest time, Andrew thought this was something he could back out of. He’d had “relationships” with people since juvie, a necessary step in exploring his sexuality in the wake of everything that had been done to him.

And yeah, maybe Andrew looked a little longer at Neil than he did at anyone else, but Roland had lasted, right? And besides, Neil was bound to be different, because Neil was family, and so Andrew had to take the extra steps to protect and provide. Right?

The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic - ch. 2
chapter one — neil josten let his cigarette burn to the filter without taking a drag. he didn’t want the nicotine; he wanted the acrid smoke that reminded him of his mother. if he inhaled slowly enough, he could almost taste the ghost of gasoline and fire. it was at once revolting and comforting, and it sent a sick shudder down his spine.
