Mike Cutter was a man of many traits and beliefs, both professional and personal.
Mike's views on relationships were strong; you should be faithful and attentive, but absolutely, by no means, possessive. He couldn't stand possessiveness. How could anyone possibly be comfortable in a relationship that put boundaries on freedom?
On the other hand Mike was a warm blooded male, and like any man had needs. Sexual needs. Due his heavy professional life, he had little time to pursue these needs in ways other than fantasy.
In Mike's case his viewpoint and needs reached some kind of twisted paradox. He hated possessiveness and entertained his fantasies with thoughts of his colleague, Connie Rubirosa.
It was just unfortunate that whenever he thought about Connie, the word 'Mine' sprang to mind.
It was just fortunate that on various particular evenings Connie would stop by with the intention to become, his.
