章節 122: Chapter 122

Vince shook his head. “What’s got your shorts in a twist?”

“We’ve been living together a few months now. He’s like a kid in a candy store: everything is so new to him, and he’s willing to try it all. He treats me great, the sex is fantastic….” Maybe this was too much information, but I had to make Vince see where I was coming from. “It’s just…I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop, y’know? Kind of ‘if it seems too good to be true, it’s because it is’? I know how lucky I am, but…every once in a while it hits me: this is a guy who’s never really lived—”

“Excuse me?” Vince looked baffled. “How do you figure?”

“I mean, he’s almost like a virgin bride.”
