Let’s tear it off. Clutch the fabric and rip until warm flesh presses, heats, and sweats under the rising need for release into that great pull beyond. Quiver. Moan. Oh you’ll beg.

He bled stars and city lights, coughed, and stared long into tomorrow as the hustle washed over him with pinpoint ecstasy. There was delight here.
