let's make slow, sweet love

slowly and sweetly please

 

warning:  rather porn-y

 

let's undress each other, wend our fingers across the skin, fingernails creating trails of goosebumps, near and nearer and maybe even into various apertures.  slide your soft lips (oh god your lips) over mine, so softly its all i can do to not/… Read full post »

the money connection

there are marriages where the biggest connection between the spouses is that one uses the other's credit cards.

and it works, for those people.

two sparrows and a starling on the lawn
