Before I enter the room, I pull out my phone and send a text before I second guess myself.
DOC
He’s perfect, I’m keeping him.
THE BOSS
As if you had a choice.
Don’t break him. I’d rather not have Petrov kill you because you fucked with his nephew’s head.
DOC
Have a little faith, Cris. I’m on my best behavior.
THE BOSS
I mean it, behave and ease him into the crazy.
I make a face at him doubting me, not that I can really blame him.
DOC
Yes, Boss.
Switching text threads, I don’t think before sending my next message.
DOC
I need you to fuck me like you hate me.
SOULMATE
Sometimes I do, dear.
Everything okay?
DOC
Fine, will explain later. Meet for dinner?
SOULMATE
Anything but Thai. Any other requests?
DOC
Nothing you and your cock can’t handle.
SOULMATE
I live to serve, my dear.
DOC
Damn right you do.
