Their tongues began dueling a battle

shirt underneath. He ran his hand up and cupping her, as his other hand pressed
her closer.

Megan was back in her dream, the

her slender neck, slowly descending towards his destination. He pulled the
buttons loose on her shirt and opened the neck line to expose the white skin

Todd’s weight pinned her to the grass
