I’m getting ... less smart! I don’t know how it happened, but I ... oh god!”Gabe’s face had darkened again when she called him an idiot.“Yea..., this is real funny, Ginger. I’m clearly an idiot. I’d have to be to fall for something like this. What is this, some new way to humiliate me? Laugh at the dumb bartender?”Gabe raised the scissors back to her hair.“No, please!” Ginger cried, pulling forward, but let out a yelp as the fan yanked back on her hair, “Gabe, I’m not - I’m not trying to. "KnowingJeff as I do, I know that he wouldn't have wanted some of thatstuff he just told us about to get out and there by, becomefodder for the rumor mill at work.

I'm willing to have kids with any and all of you, but I don't intend to force anyone, or let anyone else force someone. The master/slave thing I'm doing with Nytoya notwithstanding, I'm not going to knock her up without her consent."And I'm not even going to touch you until you've made it clear that you want me to, and made it equally clear how far you want it to go. And that means waiting until you've figured.
