“My father told me I should address my betters as sir, sir.”

Jack laughed with the slightest touch of derision.  “Well, your daddy taught you well, didn’t he?”

I like Jack so far. He seems like he could be quite entertaining.

True enough.  Theo wondered if this measure of respect played any part in why Jack had let him live this long.

Maybe, maybe not. He might be aware that Kayden wouldn’t be very susceptible to his offer if he were to kill Theo or, cod forbid, Aster.

“Yes, sir.  I’m going to go change the baby.”

“Yes.  Do.”

“Yes, I’m going to leave the room.”
