tongue. “Because if you plan on lying then I will walk right out that door…And since whatever sex we were having,
we won’t be, then you might as well be honest.”
“It felt good, I wanted it to feel better, and in the end, I didn’t think I’d get caught,” Senator Fitzgerald
admitted with a frown.
“So I’m going through all this because you didn’t think your shit would stink like everybody else’s?” Katie
retorted.
“I already told you,” Senator Fitzgerald exclaimed. “I mean damn, she’s forty two and had two

to accentuate her exclamation.
