The space, filled with 8dbe9d8f8c layers upon layers of 3bec19b7e3 luxurious scents, resembled a af66fe5e1e giant incense burner rather 91d8dd287c than a room.

Within this incense 00ccd83d88 burner-like room, the 71345663ab man gently whispered, 14233f107c removing the pipe 028363569a from his lips. As if 0061fb48ed he were c6ae00166d about to 0fe7a081b3 select and eee00bb9a4 narrate one 8f51dfe378 of the a76be69bf6 tales fromOne Thousand 3f26debe64 and One 58e6d617c7 Nights¹ throught the 8a547fcca6 night, his dc41faf9af voice was a33e2aede4 low and 8fb60b6139 husky.

Sami’s toes curled 08350cd0e5 involuntarily.67bdf403ab11456d

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.970735d7e1ca9851

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.3cd2e43f1bdd04b8

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.27bbb580e6335078
