Silk On the Skin: a Loveswept Classic Romance
“Actually I wasn’t prepared at all. I just wanted to go to bed. I was tired and cranky, sweat was puddling between my boobs, and my armpits smelled like sprouting onions.

Repulsive, yes—but chocolate is what gets you through the day, and no one else smells any better.
