And that thought right there was why it was apparent that he wasn’t right in the head. “For what it’s worth, I’m sorry about...uh, you know.” Eloquent. He nearly bit his tongue in half with embarrassment at his bumbling apology, but was there a more...
After another tumble on the floor they’d guzzled some Gatorade and headed to the bedroom for more, as her knees had picked up some uncomfortable rug burns in their escapades and she’d been ready for the soft cushion of her pillowtop.

Every thwarted sexual impulse and smothered tingle of desire raged in her nerve endings, demanding more and then some.
