"Yeah, sorry about that, ood to pass up You kno that is" Dylan winks "Had to ood Actually came back twice this week" Avery delivers my beer with a smile "The owner is smokin’ and pretty cool too"

Dylan chuckles "I know her well She’s actually a cunt" He takes a swig froirl Wonder if I can talk her into a little two-on-one action"

If I thought the guy was a dick before, hearing him call Lucky a cunt makes me want to knock him on his ass But I keep reat It has a sixties vibe to it"

Lucky’s hesitant, but places her hand in mine The feel of her soft skin makes me wish I’d taken a chance and run my lips over the silky smoothness of her cheek Only, I know the cheek wouldn’t be enough "Nice to ainst his body possessively and wraps his hand around her waist before deliveringfor Avery," Dylan announces, looking at ht be a hint of disappoint Dylan has to say about reat catch"
