Basil chose his words carefully. “I would hope that I deserve both of you, but only if that’s what you want.”
Dorothy snorted again. “When was the last time you f****d someone other than me?”
“Four years ago when I was with Marci.”
“And before that?”
“Probably ten years when I was dating other women.”
Caroline broke in. “I think he deserves a little variety, don’t you?”
They both could see Dorothy considering it. She tapped her fingernail against her front tooth and then pursed her lips. “Do you know I’ve f****d more guys than you’ve f****d women?” she asked Basil.
“How…how could you know that?”
She sighed and rolled her eyes. This was getting to be a longer discussion than she wanted. “I’ve f****d forty-two guys since I was eighteen. How many women have you been with?”
