South Hills: Hot Winter Nights
He was no mateo, but the old man wasn't bad and knew he had me over a barrel so to speak. had to let him put me over the desk and literally fuck me in the ass to get out of that mess.
Ander - Chapter 7, Subchapter 84
He was pathetic, taking this long, making such a huge fuss over a simple flight of stairs when nilia and mateo were fighting for their lives.
Ander - Chapter 6, Subchapter 74
Nilia nudged mateo in the shoulder. "i think you'd better load that crossbow, mat." he looked at her. there were flakes of snow stuck to his eyelashes. "why? what do you see?" he asked, reaching over his shoulder to retrieve a bolt.
Ander - Chapter 4, Subchapter 33
He'd been in his workshop, happily banging a nail into a chair like he'd done a thousand times before when mateo ran in, completely out of breath, screaming at him to get to the healer's right away.
Ander - Chapter 7, Subchapter 15
He had mateo's big crossbow braced against his shoulder, loaded and ready to fire, and was looking down the sight with one eye squinted shut.
Ander - Chapter 2, Subchapter 16
He scanned the crowd, looking for mateo, but he was nowhere to be seen. he supposed she might be here with her husband, that "michael" salem had mentioned, but if so, why was she standing off by herself? would she come here alone?
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 72
There was her headstrong little soldier, mateo, nervously fiddling with the straps of his crossbow, as if wishing for nothing more than to be able to blast all her problems away.
Ander - Epilogue: Subchapter 10 (THE END)
"you promised that, once the baby was born, we'd get nilia to hold them, and you damn well know that's going to happen the moment she and mateo get back from their little trip up in the mountains." "'aunty nilia'."
Ander - Part 6: Subchapter 8
mateo looked at the broken hammer, then the bent arrow, and then his eyes came to rest on nilia's. "what was that you were saying about a wall?" a surprisingly quick learner, that one. now to drive the point home to the rest of them.
Ander - Chapter 7, Subchapter 44
Hezzi, mateo, renna, sarah, layla, bethany, salem, taberah, so many wolves and foxes she would gladly risk her life for. or should she try and break free of this place? go to help ander and kiana?
Ander - Chapter 2, Subchapter 15
"call off the marriage between kiana and mateo." bethany and kiana both gasped and layla's eyes went wide. salem stood completely motionless, regarding ander with those shrewd eyes of his, contemplating the situation. finally, he nodded. "done."
Ander - Chapter 5, Subchapter 39
Is mateo bothering you again?" "no, i just... everything is so perfect exactly as they are, ander. i don't want to risk changing anything." "but things will change, whether we want it to or not. don't you see? sooner or later, bethany _will_ find out.
