“Then I guess you’ll have to punish e of irritation, but there was heat in her eyes—heat that hs the moment the elevator doors closed
Once again he wondered how she in and sinfully sexy vixen, a co and his cock as hard as steel
His dick stiffened ined hoould show her as in control The way he would bring her to the edge with his ging hi she would never disobey a direct order again
