She Surrendered To Me

I did not peep, I gazed at the grasshopper.

I was uninhibited: I used to watch at girls who always thought they were too pretty, or I was no match for them. They kept their ego flying high, as high as a kite; what if the kite line broke? This was, anyway, a past story in which the girls turned their head away disdainfully.

This grasshopper must be a girl.

She did the same trick that failed to discourage me, just like in those olden days.

I followed her to wherever she went, so far not yet to the moon. She hopped, hopped, hopped and hopped, to get rid of me; I strode to get sticking to her.

Ten minutes was not long to me, it must be a few months to her. She surrendered to me finally.

This was what had happened, in this morning. I was in no hurry, yet everything was accomplished. Perfect.

  7. Lol)) That was rather steamy story and unexpected..you know, people getting into trouble posting images of themselves too (that's another problem mostly men have along with falling off ladders). Well, they'll be safe here (snicker)

  11. She had to surrender to you, you have such a powerful personality and anybody could have felt vulnerable and weak in front of you.. Ha.. Well.. the girls in their teenage or non-teenage have a high flying ego.. the kite line gets cut only when the girls grow wrinkly and then no guy not even a baby boy looks @ them.. HAHA

    Have fun..
