Dhimas spoke up, looking serious. "Yep, Alaric's right. I just want to make sure everyone knows I'm sticking to the rules. My girlfriend is the only one I'm seeing intimately."
"I know, I know," Ryder said, rubbing the back of his neck. "But it's not always black and white. Sometimes things just happen."
Alaric, leaning back in his chair, interjected, "Look, everyone is as strict about the rules. Even Gavin, Aiden, and I, for instance, doesn't use our partner quota!"
Meanwhile, Alaric, Gavin, and Aiden had a more relaxed approach to the club's rules. They didn't always use their partner quota and seemed to have not found anyone who inspired them to maintain a continuous intimate relationship.
Instead, they preferred to chase their daily adventures as hosts without being too bound by strict rules about partners and intimate relationships.
