The afterglow of my creative orgasm morphs into a raging, desperate physical need.

Every single thought I can muster is highly inappropriate.

I blame the prickly rush of the fully-conceived idea coming to fruition.

I blame Bella's filthy mind and her delight in tantalizing me with Kama-Sutra-worthy imagery.

I blame that heart-shaped silhouette teasing me from the other side of the tight black pants I can't seem to peel from the outside of my eyeballs.

"Explain, please."

"Well, the circle is the classic definition of endless. There's no 'your side, my side'. No corners. No defined boundaries."

"What about the headboard?"

"Perfect for breakfast in bed, buuuut…"

Sly smirk.

"…Great place to anchor your feet while your face is—"

"Knock knock!"

Rose grins broadly.
