the first introduction of my body to stephens was when his right hand grazed my cheek and his left hand clasped my fingers in his , his thumb gently stroking the tip of each ; the offering of my body came when his kisses weakened me and i settled more deeply into the settee , one leg raising a little , like a drawbridge , to admit him the communion , well ... his shirt was open , i had my hand on his stomach and his flesh felt almost like paulas had , soft and warm .
