But facts were facts.
Two plus two was four and Kingsley Edge was a whore.
“Fuck me,” Kingsley said. “But I’m not going to like it.”
He was going to like it. He was really going to like it.
“I thought that’s what you’d say.”
“But if I find out you were lying about getting kissed by your magnificent Sikh doctor, I will never forgive you. You’ll be dead to me. I won’t ever let you fuck me again.”
“Ever?”
“Ever,” Kingsley said. “At least six months.”
A few minutes passed in silence as they sped along the autoroute.
“Do you want me to be human?” Søren asked him. “Really?”
Did Kingsley?
Did he really?
Nø.
