The edge *
I will hold you when your love falls,
have me in all my wonder
as I desire to take your love to the end,
where every drop of your passion
will become a sweet taste,
let the scent of the moment fill my head
and the sounds of moans
send my pleasure to my deepest fantasy,
whisper my name
and I will bring the thunder
for it lives deep inside of me,
like the wind I will be all around your world,
every part of you I will be
and when you are at that point,
where love can go no deeper, there my love will be,
waiting at the edge

Anticipatingly,

Mine? My staff? Scheduled? Ok was this some kind of joke? Whatever. I thought. I tossed the letter on the counter and didn’t think about it anymore. Later on that evening
I was sitting in my bath tub, I had had a long week. My cars transmission had went out and it cost me 2 months rent to get it fixed. My boss gave me a ridiculous assignment that I had to present to the corporate heads, and he had never even scheduled the meeting!! All I wanted to do was relax. Relax, at a resort…I laughed outloud. My mind wandered back to my suspicious letter I received. I could go, I mean everything is already set up. All I have to do is pack. I have enough vacation saved up. It wouldn’t be a problem to take off. Although I don’t know who’s behind it. It could be a set up. Hmmm, I sighed...
It gets so much juicier...Take care!!
