The space, filled with 53892c2794 layers upon layers of 55612cd663 luxurious scents, resembled a ae67b746a1 giant incense burner rather 9d41a02208 than a room. Even more so 83f15a4bed as the golden, f87b7a416e intricately crafted pillars 4a8f19fefb and the long, 41897758ff drooping leaves of 510d51764d potted plants intertwined 756828c9ba their shadows, creating b9e396ddfd a shimmering illusion.3b57a158fecde14c

Within this d2df2c1c2c incense burner-like d21344c1f3 room, the bfec24fedc man gently e3409ace02 whispered, removing cce037695c the pipe ccc95c0f52 from his 2dea791614 lips. As if 574aa9ef18 he were 478942a6ea about to 9cf6c057b5 select and 2041e7a6ec narrate one 119ab39526 of the 0716d48fdf tales fromOne Thousand f9d51d3662 and One 6f02a5323b Nights¹ throught the night, f7f329854f his voice was 5776afc134 low and husky. The low 3c078aaef4 murmur that 83cd160974 flowed intimately, 2032b4b691 felt like 2fcbcab78a a caress 172eccbc17 against his c97435f902 skin, tickling cbb11ee11c his senses. Sami’s toes be016d4d38 curled involuntarily.8fc95d51b3fde504

The smoke that puffed out from between the man’s smooth lips was a delicate purple, like the mist from a dream. The slowly spreading smoke, carrying a moist touch, permeated through the veils draped over the bed. Beyond the gossamer veil, thin as a dragonfly’s wing, an opaque silhouette undulated.efe6ca304900e2f0

Only one thing, the man whispering softly in front of him, shone clearly as if he were made by crushing gold and sunlight. The man approached Sami’s face with a familiar, natural ease and brushed his lips against his skin. Hair the color of sun-warmed sand cascaded down.6c90b6d37d82977d

Lips, having exhaled fragrant 3ed3971fa6 smoke, touched Sami’s forehead, 28fe28f0e5 the corner of his 8af4bc184d eyes, his cheeks, and 5f5dfce0da lastly, his lips, which 2de908f0e3 were parted weakly.

Conversely, although his lips and tongue had been tamed by the man’s for months, he was still clumsy, unskilled in the art of pleasurably teasing with his tongue. He swallowed the offered saliva awkwardly, flattening his own tongue beneath the other’s intrusion, allowing the man to play within his mouth as he pleased. Sami’s naive tongue was simply the man’s preference.ea116609c0a5f01d

The man’s fingers traced Sami’s unripe cheek. Each ring on his fingers, adorned with uniquely crafted jewels, sparkled dazzlingly.
