Meltdown

Meltdown

 

The furnace of her loins

glowed red with passion

comcentrated lust

oozing from every pore

of her writhing body ;

THEN

THE

BLOODY

PHONE

RANG !

Thank you all for your feedback.

There really isn't a part two.
The best analogy I can come up with is comparing it with steelworks.....once the furnaces cool down men get layed off !

Passion and practicalities...never a match made in heaven.

Such a shame, because we need part two David. Mind you for those of us who remember, there used to be dirty phone lines - you'd pay dearly for the privilege.
