Ah! but a man cannot be held to write down in cold blood the wild and black thoughts that storm his brain when an uncontrolled passion has battered a breach for them.

I have a deep appreciation for anything that challenges my morality.

Why make things difficult?” I was hot all over; his body was perfect, strong, welcoming and oh-so-alive.
