Do you want the best, Mr. MacMillan? I am talking about taking your body to heaven and sending your mind south. I'm talking about spoiling you so bad... you'll hate every other woman you touch. I'm talking about my mouth on your mouth and my tongue anywhere you want it. I'm talking about indulging your every fantasy and then giving you those fantasies one by one. Just for you. All for you. Nobody but you. Do you get all that, darling? Would you like that, baby? Do you get what I'm telling you?
