five decades of experience and vast global knowledge he met and lay with all kind of ladies. Intellectuals Blondie Women that sparks extreme desire Some whose names he couldn't pronounce Even those with no clue as to why God make a girl... Never did he image a simple 25 year old beauty will be the bait to make him surrender. His friends and families bet it will last for as long as she could satisfy his groin. Its been fourteen years of bliss in this marriage two handsome boys and a dog still he finds her irresistible. This woman his wife she makes him nervous second-guess himself hell! she makes him question his manhood. He is well known and influential a man of means proud and egotistic but the moment she came into his life the balance of power shifted. She's in total control. Stubborn as a mule! He often find himself inflamed. Arrrrgggggg!!!! She makes him so angry with her arguments. "Why must she always contend?" So opinionated such a strong personality! "Where in heaven did you come from woman?" is a frequent line that sends her laughing knowing she has won again.
