After the shower, while getting dressed, my best friend Michael said, “Man, Rich – you got quite the snake,” giving me a slap on the shoulder. T...is was before the era of ‘high-fives’.“What are you talking about, Mike? What snake?”“The one between your legs, dude. I’ll bet you drive the girls crazy with that,” he said.Not knowing any better, I agreed!

Several of my neighbors were heavily into window lights, and the soft mounds that covered the garbage. It was more than a minute later when Brandi said softly, "Still ... it would've been really nice to get laid."Our parents were suitably happy to see Brandi when we arrived, hugging her and talking about how they were oh-so-proud of their "college girl".

They made a soft yet firm pillow, giving a sensation which was oddly comforting; Darya could feel the warmth of the black woman’s body through Beth’s thin cashmere top, and this set off an unexpected but not unpleasant tingling in her own nipples.After a couple of minutes, Sandi asked her if this was helping; when she readily confirmed it, Sandi nodded to Beth, and then said to Darya:‘Time for stage two – you’ll like this even more, just give it a chance.’Darya was wearing a knee-length skirt.
