"I don’t know why you insisted on all this," griped Lindy. "If he doesn’t want to celebrate his birthday he shouldn’t have to." Seeing that Danica was staring at her, she growled, "What, hussy?"
Danica shook her head as if to clear it. "Sorry, I was just imagining you wearing a shock collar while I held the remote."
"Oh there she goes again giving me attitude."
"Not giving it, returning it."
Knowing this could go on for a while if he didn’t distract them, Gio pulled Danica against him. He whispered into her ear, "Now for a preview of
the black lace babydoll…"
She shook her head, whispering, "Oh no, not ’til later. Fun time first."
Fun, thought Gio a few hours later as he gazed up in disbelief. It was true he didn’t know much about it, but he was pretty sure now that his and Danica’s ideas of fun were going to be very different. "I’m not going on that thing."
