Bracing herself on his shoulders she rode him, levering her hips as she brought him closer and closer to his peak.

But he did not deny that as they stood in his barren kitchen, he wondered what she would taste like. How her breath would sound fluttering across his skin. How she would feel against him. Around him.”

An hour so jewelled with delight,
