Rufus Sandwood—my former lover, my current obsession, and the only person I truly enjoy fucking.
We've known each other since before Franklin and I even started dating.
It was Rufus who suggested the arrangement; he didn't want to share me, but he knew a golden goose when he saw one.

He's a billionaire with the backbone of a jellyfish when it comes to me.
