    About this ebook

    He couldn’t let her go, couldn’t miss his chance- what a fool he’d be, how he’d kick himself the rest of his life. She’d kissed him at the stadium! That had been just weeks ago. He could still feel her lips sliding at his neck, her ball-bearing tongue in slow motion- if he’d felt the pecking of a sparrow, he also felt an octopus. Short chapters. New episode added almost daily.
