- Pero yo quiero que tú lo experimentes primero, pequeña Kisha. Quiero deleitarme en el rubor que se apodera de todo tu cuerpo cuando el orgasmo se precipita. Quiero ver el fulgor en tus ojos y oírte suplicar por más. Necesito que en tu linda cab...
Jack stares at me blankly. ‘A what?’ he asks. I choke back the laugh. ‘A boy. You know? A Y-chromosome holder? You don’t seem to notice them as much as you do the X-carriers.’ ‘What are you talking about?’ Jack asks, ‘A boy? She’s j...
