taken the brochure with him.
The driver opened the door and Dominic slid onto

He resumed reading the brochure. The success
rate of the woman returning from one of these trips
pregnant was very high but what intrigued him the
most was the mere thought of checking into a resort
with Taylor with the sole intent of having a full
week of constant sex. He was getting aroused just
thinking about it, about the possibility of making all

mind about Taylor a reality.

But still, all things considered, he and Taylor
would need to discuss the issue more in detail.
There were a number of questions he needed an

were periodically done. Customers visiting the area
kept coming back knowing they would receive first-

passionate kiss. Despite having been married for
thirty-six years, Marcello and Megan were still
deeply in love. That was obvious to anyone around
them for any length of time. As long as he could
remember, his parents were
