I will figure it all out on my own”. He hugged her from behind, and Audrey could feel her heart leap as his lips met her bare back. She jerked, as it sent shivers down her spine. “ What are you doing, Carter? ”.“ Isn't this what you have been trying to do the whole day, wearing a sexy dress to get me turned on, well, you won, I am extremely turned”.
