03UndatedMy desire, my sincere and heartfelt desire is to rip that surprisingly sheer garment from your body, toss you onto that bed, and indeed ravish you from head to toe. I wish to make love to you until you are too exhausted to do so much as stand without support. Until you call out my name in your dreams and reach for me in your sleep. Until you can think of no one and nothing beyond the touch of my hand, the caress of my lips.Victoria Alexander / quote ↗
04UndatedI think it's your bosoms." Rand Surveyed him critically. "The dress wouldn't be as tight if they weren;t so large.
