Alas, I must now depart for the traffic of rush hour and the comfort of my couch. Have a lovely evening, all you flirters, and save some of the innuendo for the morning–I’ll be bored at work tomorrow. 😉

'Night, everyone!

That’s the one! :smack: It’s only near Woodbury inasmuch it’s nearer to Woodbury than it is to Albany.

(Can you tell my directional sense leaves much to be desired?)

Well, I’m not a pirate, but Mel Gibson in leather pants ought to do the trick. Did I mention that I speak with a convincing Australian accent? :dubious:

I don’t know whether to say, “Yay!” or “Darn!” about the biting, you understand

If you are not sure what to say, may I suggest  
“More”

Ooh, that would do quite nicely. Why don’t you sit right here and we’ll see if we can come to some sort of agreement? So you bite…how do you feel about being bitten? If you don’t like it, I suppose I could just kiss you.

Sometimes it’s nice to have a bit of pleasure laced with pain, but I’m generally more a fan of the type of pleasure that’s so intense that your toes curl and your muscles turn to jelly and you find yourself making strange noises you didn’t know you were capable of. Kissing would be an enjoyable enough way to start.

Actually, “he” is, indeed, a “he.”

And I, too, think he is hilarious.

The more the merrier, **Jaade**. Pull up a chair, or a piece of floor, or a boat, or something.

And now for a return to our regularly scheduled kissing…

You get an, um… thumbs up, yeah, thumbs…  
for multitasking.

Luckily enough I learned a while ago how to undo a bra clasp with only one hand, leaves a hand free for… other things.

Now, what’s with all this talking? Let’s resume the kissing and groping 😉
