Help needed, please!
May. 30th, 2013 01:00 pmI give up. I've been searching for ages for the story and author I cut and pasted this quote from but without success. I wonder if anyone recognises it? I thought perhaps it was a Big Bang story but I've had no luck searching there and so I would be very grateful for any help. Thank you!
"Why would a man like him pay for a woman? He's not that bad looking. Is he?"
"I've seen worse," Doyle admitted. "But it's not women he pays for."
"Ah."
Doyle can see that the penny's dropped.
Bodie smirks. "You'd better watch out then, sunshine. Pretty boy like you—"
"It's not the pretty boys he likes, though," Doyle answers, not smiling back and feeling irked at being labelled a 'pretty' boy. "It's men like you."
"Tall, dark and handsome?"
Doyle snorts. "Ex-Army," he corrects. "A bit of muscle who's used to following orders."
Bodie makes a face. "I'll be sure to steer clear," he says. "I only take orders from Cowley."
There's a split-second of silence and then Bodie's lips twitch. "You know what I mean....."
