“Would you like to meet my friends Bear and Brian tonight? They are really special to me and I’d really like it if you could be friends?”
“I’d like to be alone with you tonight, with no interruptions,” Caleb answered, firmly.
“Come to think of it, that would be wonderful. I’ll be looking forward to it.”
“It will be the two of us then?”
“Right, I promise I won’t invite anyone else. Though I would like to introduce you to Bear and Brian sometime. They are dear friends…”
“Just not tonight, darling. You and me, horizontal,” Caleb said. “I want into that delectable body.”
“Okay. Just us. Of course they’ll come another time to meet you…”
“Our relationship is so new that it’s hard for me to share you with all of your other responsibilities.”
“Yes, I know it’s very new—”
“I want to savor our time together before I have to share you,” Caleb interrupted, sounding stern. “You spend too much time on the job as it is.”
