Capítulo 319: Chapter 319: Body #9

Crew didn't comment, instead focusing, it seemed, on breathing slowly and patiently, bless him. "Tell me everything," he said, that graveled depth of tone just as familiar, though I had to admit I found it sexier than usual, rather than irritating like I used to. He loved me, didn't he? I could afford to relax a bit.
