He pulled away, and I quivered, waiting, knowing, until he dragged his tongue up my cleft, deep and slow, just to prove he could

In response, I whihtened and chuckled his ainst the hard ridge of hiar, a beast I wanted it, so badly And everything he’d said was true No matter what happened at the ball, nomore than animals, and I was completely in his power, and it was exquisite
