Sneering in a husky voice ‘What’s this now? Is that the best you have to offer or you have chickened out? Come on babe, I thought you had fire in you.’
Emma felt offended by his words but was not about to show it, instead she started laughing. Speaking in a commanding tone she said ‘Me, chickening out? Oh, please just shut up and go and lock that door. This body is about to grow cold.’
Shrugging his shoulders James obliged, nothing turned him on like a woman in charge. Excited that the game was still on he quickly locked the door and waltzed back rubbing his hands together with a huge smile across his face. He went and stood in front of Emma.
‘The door is taken care of. Now can you relax and enjoy the groove Ummm….my sweet babe if you don’t mind let’s carry on from where we stopped. I can’t wai

She smiled when he stopped, ‘I don’t know if you remember me, Trish.’Nick regarded her but failed to register her and not wanting to sound rude he smiled and that smile was enough to send sweet sensations all over Trish’s body‘My apologies, I am not so good in remembering faces but that name sounds familiar. How do we know each other by the way?’ He askedTrish grinned, ‘Actually we met at a club some few weeks back and we even danced together that is why I know your name.’‘But we definitely didn’t have sex that is why I don’t even remember you,’ Nick thought as he regarded her before saying, ‘For someone you met once I am surprised that you are quite good with your memory.’‘Thank you, actually its only the things that have a lasting impression on me that I find hard to forget quickly.’ Trish beamed her eyes to

He started fondling her breasts with his free hand while the other one held her in that position. She felt him shift from the bed and could hear draws being opened and closed.
