Chapter Seven Alex Delilah was warm and soft, and her mouth held a lingering plum flavor from the wine. Her scent spun around me like a d**g. A d**g just for me, and I’d been hooked for years even though I hadn’t seen her in all that time. Her tongue slicked against mine, and I tightened my grip in her hair as she arched into me.
