Tenderly

A SENSUAL approach UNSEALS the door to her heart.

Her cheeks turn red as warmth flows in.
His fingers play upon her skin.

Titillating ... teasing ... they take their time.

Wow .... another good one! I love how simple this is and yet leaves a big impact. You leave me in the spot where I'm wanting more, yet at the same time enjoy the mystery of staying put. Excellent!
