Cold and mechanical

You don't get to be and stay the boss by being indecisive. Tony Monelli certainly wasn't that. Instinctive in his reactions he was equally instinctive in his actions and the decisions prompting them.

Livia had convinced him that the two of them having sex was doing the right thing by Terry. 'No time like the present', thought Tony, 'unless...'

"Not on the blob are you?" he demanded, crudely and directly.

"Last week." Livia replied coldly.

Then he unbuckled his belt, unzipped and dropped his trousers and underpants.

"Get your kit off and get this thing standing up!"

Talk about mechanical!
