the type of women people would call high-ended women.”
    “High-ended, what’s that? I’ve never heard of that.”
    “I’m sure you have. It’s the type of women that love expensive things. They always look nice and smell good, and so on.”
    Monica laughed. “And so on…ha, ha, yeah, I know what you mean. You’re trying to say, or you mean to say, high-maintenance type of women.”
    Colin laughed as well. “That’s it. I knew it was something like that. But my father kept up with everything. He continued to support his ex-wife too. He introduced her to the life-style so he wanted her to maintain that life-style.”
    “And your mother was fine with that?”
    “My father was very generous to women. He loved women, which was his weakness. And yes, why wouldn’t she be? All her needs were met and she knew his ex-wife was the mother of my father’s previous children.”
    “Wow, that’s something. I couldn’t do it.”
    “And you never will. I would never leave you for another woman, let alone fool around on you. I take after my mother. We’re monogamous.”
    Monica pulled his arm hairs. “You better not. Remember, I own a gun. I’ll find you and blow your balls off.”
    Colin grabbed his nuts. “Are you serious, Monica? Are you violent like that?”
    She burst out laughing. “No, babe, it just sounded funny in my mind, but I hope you never hurt me.”
    “Because my father loved women, he messed around on my mother and he did hurt her. That’s why she stopped caring and just made sure he supplied all her needs financially. Because of that she made sure I didn’t grow up like him or my brother, who is a splitting image of my father. Even though my brother had another mother, he spent a lot of time with my mother. He came to live with my father when he was young, but my mother ended up really raising him.”
    “Wow, how could your father afford all those children?”
    Colin sat up further in the bed as Monica placed a pillow in his lap to lay on. He took a deep breath as if he hesitated over whether or not he should share any more details. He didn’t know if he should share just yet, the true value of his worth.
    “Come on. Don’t stop now, continue please.”
    “My family is very wealthy. We own oil and rigs in Southwest Alaska. That’s where I’m originally from. My father has been deceased for five years now.”
    “Aw, I’m sorry to hear that, babe.”
    “Thanks. But all of his children want for nothing and I don’t really have to work, but I choose to for myself. I’ve been on the job for ten years working on the Hostage Rescue Team and I love it.”
    Monica grabbed her mouth and jumped up. “OMG! Shut the hell up. Are you for real, Colin?”
    He laid back down in the bed and patted the mattress for her to come back to bed.
    “Come on, now it’s your turn to share.”
    She got back in bed and held her hands up in the air as she hunched her shoulders. “What’s there to tell about me? I don’t even come close to that. My sister and I were born in Clarksville, Tennessee. She’s a year older than me. That’s where we both received our degrees from, Austin Peay State University. I only have the one sister, who is currently in Africa working with a rescue mission to help save children who are at-risk youth due to any type of catastrophe.”
    “That’s awesome! What about your parents?”
    “Our parents were in the military. We spent a lot of time, up to the age of fifteen, traveling to many Middle Eastern countries. This is why my sister and I can speak many languages fluently.”
    Colin sat up with interest as he listened more intently. “Is that why you joined the Bureau?”
    “Kind of, my father was shot and killed in Iraq on a special mission. My mother got sick and passed soon after my father died. I think she was too heartbroken over my father. They were very much in love.”
    “I’m sorry that happened to your parents, babe.”
    Monica felt his sympathy. “It’s OK, it
