"We had sex once. One time, Ronan. And I..." Damn but this was frustraing. Johnny ran his hand back over his face and through his hair and turned away, thinking.

Looking down at the floor he muttered, "I'm not dating exclusively. I date to have fun, period. I've never once told anyone that I wanted more. Hell, I'm just having fun for hellsake!" He cut his eyes back at him. "Do you understand that? I'm not wanting to hurt anyone -- and why don't you clear something up for me -- you want me? You like me for more than just a casual fuck, Ronan? Or are you jerking me around, making me believe that there might be something more here than I'm seeing?"
