It wasn't that bad, but he'd earned teasing rights as far as he was concerned. "You think that a little sex would do a lot of people everywhere a world of good."
Travis shook his head. "No, babe, I'm not doubting you. That's not... You talked about playing the games, the flirting, the touching. It doesn't have to go anywhere and you don't have to think it will go anywhere. Who am I kidding? I played those games. I don't think I can talk to a woman without flirting. Do you know how hard it was for me not to do it with Rachel? It's how I relate to women even when I don't want anything. I know you're not as bad as me, but I was trying to say is that even that, I'm not sure I can deal with that yet, because the idea of you with other men-" He shook his head. "It makes me want to skip the cuffs and invest on a collar and leash." He smiled. "Okay, maybe I like the cuffs too." He grew serious. "I haven't had much in life that's mine. When I do get something or someone now, I don't let go easily."
