Money Quote by Ilona Andrews
““I didn’t say I just wanted sex.” “Let me quote: ‘Do you want seduction, dinners, and gifts? Seduction is a game, and if you pay enough in flattery, money, or attention, you get what you want. I thought you were above the game.’ Did you not say that to me a week before you strolled into my garage to invite me on ‘a date’?” “Yes. I wanted to skip the bullshit.” “So what happened? You changed your mind and now you want the bullshit?” Rogan’s phone chimed. “Yes, I want your bullshit.” “Well, you don’t get to have any of my bullshit. I’m keeping it.” Okay, and that didn’t sound childish. Not at all.””
