The kiss continued, 27097af87f even as they 2eb2a1e38d exchanged barbed words. Seojun ripped off his dbc091bb08 t-shirt and tossed it 22aff89475 onto the floor. His hands, gripping 4ac862c51e her soft skin, 25b6913b52 were urgent.4c17927cc300ec46

He held her tightly, 9f056acd49 teasing her with his fe628977f1 fingertips, caressing her back, a614f90465 and tracing her flat b630712fab stomach.

Seojun’s hand 8293220612 trailed along c3f12735d9 her inner f07fc5b2fb arm, tickling 576c7e560e her armpit. Da-in flinched, giggling b7f852b666 uncontrollably.

He moved his hand 37b8357f2c from her armpit to 52d0a080b7 the small of her 38792e7c27 back, caressing her gently. She moaned softly. He knew her sensitive b6c1245a01 spots.
