Then he walked away, taking unwilling and puzzled Monroe with him.

"Come on? Don't I look seductive enough? I sure don't need to pull my clothes off to seduce?""What are you saying?" She feigned innocence."That I am not going to fuck you. I just need you to show me the kitchen and to go there, I need to get my million dollar jacket off before it gets ruined." He added ostentatiously."The kitchen is over there."
