Nashville, Tennessee
Elisa pressed up against a tree, her round curves scraping against the bark Her eyes war, as if she couldn’t believe anyone wanted her with such intensity
“I can’t believe I’roup to do this,” she breathed “Youso easy”
It was easy to trace a calculated hand up Elisa’s arm and over breasts that weren’t very remarkable “You’re so hot”
As dark sexual sensations sent tension shuddering over Elisa’s plain square face, faint thoughts of reason chased after it, tugging her lips into a frown “I er into the woods A few conversations in the coffee shop don’t make us friends”
“Are you really looking for a friend or do you want soerous?” A slow, practiced, sexy set their worries
“Hot and dangerous,” Elisa breathed
“You’re so beautiful You have an energy that’s so hard to resist”
There were so many Elisas in the world They were desperate for touch Desperate for a life with a thrilling exciteoals Desperate to be seen
Their desperationSo easy to pluck out of their everyday, safe lives So easy to convince that a walk on the wild side was their chance to create a new incarnation To believe this was her chance to prove she was cool Reckless Could take chances Be spontaneous
A kiss at the hollow of Elisa’s neck had herher eyes She was drunk with desire Her head tipped back against the tree, and the brush of a hand over her breasts hardened her nipples into jutting peaks
“Do you want me to squeeze them?” The hisper brushed Elisa’s ear “Do you want me to suck them?”
“Yes” The word exploded free, as if she now had no control of her own mind
“Show me Show me”
