Synopsis

Estan desnudos. El muchacho acuna a la muchacha. Su piel es cobriza. Estan recostados en un sofa victoriano rodeados de ceramica egipcia de carton, un tigre salvaje disecado, un tambor de juguete y cocoteros glaseados. Una pradera americana se extiende tras ellos en apagados colores al oleo. Las sombras tiznan los musculos de los brazos, muslos y pantorrillas del chica. Su pene esta flacido. Tiene los pomulos salientes, como si la talla de sus huesos se estuviese deleitando cuando Ella los esculpio. La muchacha esta recostada contra el. Hay un oceano en sus ojos. Nubes de cabello le camuflan un pecho. En su mejilla florece una orquidea.

It can be very descriptive at times and has a lot of strong content. However, it keeps the reader wanting......more
