“What kind of slut do you think I am?”Theo bumped his hips against hers. “This might not be the best moment to ask me that.”

“Do you know about it, Kelsey?” he asked after a while. “Dominance and submission? This thing we’re doing? I don’t know so good how to explain it. Only how to do it.”

“Do you have some kind of syndrome that makes you act this way, or are you just a rude, socially inept asshole?”

“I was his comfort object, and what he asked for, I did.”

“Theo was so pleased with her, so proud of her. In love with her, whatever love was.”

“Oh my God. Party punch. He’d brought a woman with the social age of twelve to the Citadel. He deserved everything he got.”
