She fiddled with the zoom function Looky there Tell-endowed buckle bunnies, with puffy blonde hair, and skin-tight jeans waiting for cowboys “Are these painted chickies your type?” She held the camera close so he could check them out
“They were my type”
“You would’ve taken them both on at once?”
Chase looked at her evenly “We’ve talked about my past, Ava Why the questions now?”
“I was just curious if your preference for girl-on-girl action is out of your syste another wo down and dirty with her just to please me?”
His emphasis on our bed sounded per “Maybe”
