“You’re just all sunshine and roses, aren’t you Knight?”
He turned to Kate with a grin. “So, tell us, what was it about Knight that first drew you in? Was it his charming personality? His zest for life? That killer smile?”

“I’ve never had to use this for the removal of a woman’s pants before.”

Somehow, I don’t think that would be appropriate for kids to see.”

“Yeah, right,” he snorted.
“She is. I’m protecting her. That’s what we do.”
“Keep telling yourself that. Now, get the fuck out of here. I have work to do.”
