Children Quote by Kristen Ashley
““They’re kids Apollo. Young kids. And they don’t need to know their father has a bed partner.” “I won’t exactly be sharing our play second for second at the breakfast table, Madeleine,” he stated, his voice turning cold . “But to share your bed with a woman you care about is not something to be ashamed of.” “No, of course not, but—” “And I’ll not communicate that by hiding who you are to me.” That was nice, so nice. But that didn’t mean he wasn’t moving too fast. “That’s sweet, honey, but—” “And I’ll not have it communicated to my children… in any way… that the act of love between two agreeable adults is something to hide because it’s shameful.””
