"Beth smiled her, oh so sexy smile, and said "Keep talking like that and you might just get laid tonight mister." She pulled on my hands and I let her...draw me back into the bed along side her. As I lay back down Beth rested her hand on my hip.I looked at her and placing a finger on her lips to keep her silent till I was finished, asked her "What can I ever do to deserve you?
