Christian

You need to get a grip.

I am NOT going to sleep with Jack—not for all the tea in China.

I LOVE you. That’s what happens when people love each other.

They TRUST each other.

I don’t think you are going to SLEEP WITH, SPANK, FUCK, or

Please extend the same COURTESY to me.

hangs up.

Holy fuck . . . I sit staring at the phone. Christian hung

up on me. That man is stomping all over my fledgling

career, and he hangs up on me? I glare at the receiver, and
