Precisely on time, greeted by Monsieur Jordan, Miranda felt this was going to be an excellent fantasy. The bed was done in white over white. The magnolia's were floating in Waterford crystal.

Lane stood in the wings watching as he cleared the stage of the last pieces of sound equipment. His body moved easily and smoothly under his clothes, his muscles flexing and releasing as he shifted speakers onto the dolly. He straightened up with a sigh, and stretched his back, making her fingers ache to touch him. From the first day, when his laughing blu...
Maggie could tell by the way the music producer was looking at her that he wanted nothing more than to bend her over and bang her like a door in a hurricane. And who could blame him!?
