Sono sicura che lui se ne fosse accorto, perché mi afferrò per tenermi, mentre mi prendeva l'altro capezzolo tra le labbra, iniziando a succhiarlo. Ero già praticamente sul punto di avere un orgasmo.

Scioccata e terribilmente imbarazzata, mi giro per vedere chi ha appena aperto la porta che ero convinta di aver chiuso a chiave. Non poteva che essere lui. Alto, snello e robusto.

L'eccitazione le divampa in tutto il corpo come un incendio."
