"Sheila, the woman who owns the house now, calls you a delicious looking man. I agree with her."
"Do you, now?"
"Hmm." Bending her leg at the knee, she nudged at his crotch.
"What are you doing?"
"What does it feel like?"
"Remi, I have an early breakfast meeting and you have- Christ, stop!"

"Doing much better. Thanks." She beamed. "He is just finishing up a conference call."
"Then I will wait."
