meeting you,Lucia.You can have your sit"I said trying to be the gentleman that I am. "I didn't come here to sit and chit chat with you,I just wanted to see how you look like" I frowned.

When my tongue touched hers,it was as if my brain was disconnected from my body and mouth. She held the lapels of my jacket as I devoured her mouth.
