"I won't spend time with anyone. That's the point. And its not that I'm not addable. I'm just comfortable."

“That’s not a life, Espa. Besides, when I am gone, you represent me. You have to make appearances…If you do stay home. I want you traveling with me at least a few times though.” Because knowing Espa, she could be a right pain in the arse if she didn’t get her way. It really depended on how he was feeling at the moment on how he responded to that kind of behavior.

"And how many do you think that I think you have?"

“I don’t know…” He grunted. “Probably a dozen, maybe more. You do have a vivid imagination.” To him, though, it was hard to name. Was she referring to those he saw regularly or to one night stands? He didn’t know and he wasn’t going to ask for clarification on the matter.

"I don't want you to name them. I don't care that you see other women Kaleb, you know that."


“And that’s why I adore you,” he said, tugging her down for a quick kiss before he released her and let her go back to playing with his hair. “Truthfully…It’s definitely less than a dozen. Less than half a dozen. You seem to think I have a lot of free time on my hands when I'm traveling. I don’t. I'm focused.” For the most part.
