He didn’t want to risk fucking everything up for a night of alcohol-induced sex. Even in the midst of his pleading with her, she didn’t relent. Sh... knew what she wanted and she was more than determined to get it, even if that meant completely throwing herself at him. “Babe, let’s not do this just yet…” he tried to reason with her, but she was still persistent. “You know you want me, you know you need me…” she hissed in his ear before trapping his ear lobe in the warm, wet space of her mouth,.
