"You're right, however that doesn't rebut my point. Capturing her would be more effective, but I'm not prepared to take that risk. It's a careful balance between risks and benefits, and the ultimate benefit requires the ultimate risk. I'll leave that to the Gryffindors," Stephen said without sarcasm.
"Yes, I'd cry day and night," he continued with a smile. "However, I hear strap-ons can be an efficient replacements, or at least, that's what Midori says."
Stephen curled his fingers around Adrian's hips and looked up. "I know I can push, and I usually do, but it's not what we do that worries me. I can always keep that in check. It's how we do it that worries me, and don't even tell me that it would be okay for you to be treated like Liam, and that's why I can't slip into role completely. I can't be Sean with you... hell, I can't even be what I was with Liam when I'm with you. Our marriage is too important to fuck up." He kissed Adrian through the cotton of the t-shit. "No games, Adrian? Does that ring a bell? What happened? Because I didn't know we were playing."
