Word Play

Words. Ah! I love them! I can't get enough of them! They are what helps us communicate with one another, and sometimes, it's more than just for a cup of sugar. Words can make us feel a certain emotion, can make us remember a fond of painful memory, or in this case.. can make a tent rise up from your pants or create a small pond between your thighs!

 

These words are fairly common, but under the right circumstances and in a certain way, it can make for one steamy encounter!

 

NOTE:

I will warn you now that this portion will be very long, so please bear with me!
