‘I guess we could…’ she said, taking a couple steps towards hi directly in front of his to do…’ She splayed her hand across his chest, loving the feel of its rippling hardness ‘I prefer it when you wear shirts, Alessandro I like unbuttoning them Have I ever told you that? Tee shirts just aren’t the same Not that this black tee shirt doesn’t look very nice on you’ It did It wasn’t baggy and shapeless, but clung in a very masculine way
