"Okay, ladies and gentlemen we are going on a short break, have your questions ready for the sex doctor when we return" Tristan voice boomed over the radio, pouring two coffee he took them to Roth's booth handing him one cup.
Roth collected the coffee and leaned back in his chair, putting his feet on the desk, " Tristan, I have been doing this for quite sometime now, it is always the same old questions, I need to spicy things up by adding new things"
"Roth, be careful and filter your words because of the underage listeners who might be out there listening."
Roth shrugged, " Well, good thing they are learning now, so they would be expert when the time comes. Moreover I clearly stated that my talk show is rated 18+. And it's good the youngis are actually learning from the pro himself, an opportunity they might never get again. I want to see the next generation having a relationship or marriages with mind-blowing sex lives." He chuckle, "...Meanwhile, I have something in mind"
Tristan took a sip of his coffee, " What is that?"
"I'd like to include the LGBTQ in the program," Roth said. He notices Tristan's sudden stiffness, " What? You don't think it's a good idea? I will teach the guys how to suck their partners cock, how to fuck each other to orgasm, same with the Ladies. What do you think?"
Tristan could only nod his head, he could not tell if Roth was suspecting him, how come LGBTQ was suddenly introduced into the program? When did Roth start taking interest in same sex relationships and their sex lives?
He knew soonest, Roth would know who truly his best friend is.

"What I would like to know, is in what world, this constitutes work?" Ruby raised a cynical brow at Roth as he took aim and once again missed capturing the neck of the glass bottle with the red ring.
Roth straightened up and smiled over at Ruby, who was reclining against the counter of the ring toss booth, at the annual Portland fair watching him in amusement. "Well, considering you've been forced to stay here twenty minutes and counting while I fail repeatedly to do this, I would constitute that as work." Pulling out his wallet he dug out another bill and handed it to the middle-aged, toothless male carnie manning the game and was rewarded with another pail of rings.
Ruby pointed to the bear hanging from the game station ceiling. "You realize you could have easily paid for one for well less than it has cost you so far to attempt to win."
Roth huffed. "Yeah, I know," he grumbled, tossing a ring and growling as with a faint ting sound it went flying off of the bottle top and onto the floor with the rest of his failures. But it was now a matter of principal more than anything. The large pink teddy bear hanging from the ceiling of the booth taunted him. He'd be damned if he was going to walk away without ruby having that bear. He ignored the fact that she seemed more interested in teasing him than the prize.
He tossed several more rings, each one making an annoying ting before adding to his pile of failures. This was getting ridiculous and he knew it.
Ruby pushed off of the counter and wrapped her arms around him from behind, kissing the back of his neck. "I think we found the one and only thing that Mr Dimitri can't do," she whispered in his ear.
The feel of her lips on his neck, made him want to forget the fair, take her home and introduce her to more intense activities, but Roth pushed down the urge. He wanted to spend more time with her, in a carefree and fun environment, because admittedly he was having some confusion over what he wanted from her.
Ruby was sweet, sexy and as he was finding out today an extremely fun woman to be around. She was the type of woman that he could seriously see himself being with, for the long run. The sex had been phenomenal the previous night and hopefully she would be open to a little more diversified play tonight. But one thing is certain, he was never interested in relationships.
Love was not on his table, well he hoped she doesn't have it on hers, he love her company, he loved that he got to experiment some things with her, like being slow and steady, unlike the rush in and rush out hook-up experience he was used to.
But for the moment he needed only one thing... To win that damned bear...
Noticing her amused grin Roth stepped back from the counter and motioned towards the bucket which had a few rings remaining. "By all means, let's see what you have."
Ruby looked at the bucket, up at him and then back to the bucket. Taking her bottom lip between her teeth ruby took a moment before nodding. "You promise this won't bruise your male ego if I land this?" she asked pulling a ring from the bucket.
Crossing his arms over his chest he shook his head. "Not in the least baby. Show me how it's done," He teased not really expecting to see her pull it off.
He watched in amusement as she lined up her toss, taking careful aim and with a flick of the wrist the ring went flying through the air and effortlessly landed around the neck of one of the bottles towards the middle.
Roth's mouth dropped open, but quickly turned into a grin as the carnie announced that they had a winner and pulled the large pink bear from the hook and handed it to Ruby. She hugged it tight to her as she turned her back to the booth to smile up at Roth.
She looked so sweet and delighted with herself that he couldn't have felt envious if he wanted to. But that didn't mean he couldn't tease her a little bit. "Okay, so spill. How did you manage to win that?"
Her grin widened telling she wasn't entirely innocent. She shrugged. "Lucky I guess."
Slipping an arm around her waist he pulled her close to him and they began walking from the booth. "You're lying. You know something I don't know." The guilty giggle solidified the theory for him, now he had to know. "Spill it and I'll buy you a corn dog."
Laughing freely, she slipped her free arm around him, and gave him a partial hug. "Boy, do you ever know a way to a girls' heart, Roth?"
