"Oh honey, Eli's tests are always more...practical." Even though Jackie was enjoying the view, he seemed firmly stuck in the thought of look but don't touch. Shannon was Eli's and unless he got both of their permission, he was going to not even think about Shannon in any other way than Eli's highly attractive boyfriend.

"Like learning about bondage and collars? From what I saw, you're definitely in for an interesting evening." He sounded very amused by that, having seen a little of what Eli had bought, but he wasn't going to tell Shannon what was in there if Eli wasn't going to tell him. It wasn't going to be his fault that the surprise was ruined. "Honey, I know Eli more than I know you and I'm definitely not going to get on his bad side by ruining the surprise he has for you with the new toys he's got to try out."
