Garbi didn’t ease into my insides. It wasn’t his nature. No need to initiate a warning, or slip in inch by inch. I would take him all at once, giving in to the rugged twist inside his nature and my own primitive animal appetite.

Both thrilled and stunned, and worried someone might catch us, I spat out the jock. “Shhh!” Saliva dripped from my mouth. I tried to say “quiet,” but the syllables came out garbled. I caught sight of a thick stick in front of me. When Garbi thrust again, I snatched the stick and handed it back to him. “Put it in your mouth,” I snarled.
