His slender legs extended to scoop up the thong on the ground with his hand-made leather shoes,
before leaning down to grasp it.
Then, he squeezed it into a ball and let go. “I remember you liked lace in the past. What made you switch

“Good girl.”
He knew that there weren’t any men by her side during the time they were apart.
