"'Be wicked, be brave, be drunk, be reckless, be dissolute ...' Violet Trefusis"
Through bleary eyes, the dishevelled hair and semen smears on blotched makeup look just the epitome of morning-after fuck-face. That girl in the mirror just shrugs; who looks pristine rubbing sleep from their eyes?Thank God this hotel has makeup pads....
Pottering elsewhere, our wives play Chris Isaak. Humming Wicked Game, her fingernails graze my inner thigh.Temptation’s frisson; arousal stains my thong. “Alley cat morals.”She disagrees. “Way worse.”Fingers press my underwear against super slick folds.

""Painting demands an intelligent model," Vincent van Gogh"

"“One touch of nature makes the whole world kin,” William Shakespeare"
“Hey, Natasha,” the editor of Sydney’s trashier daily paper called across the newsroom, a smirk on his overweight face, “Are you eco-curious?”For me, an out and proud young journalist, this kind of banter was a tedious occupational hazard. But one...
