No. Oh, god, no. Rachel stepped in front of him and pulled gently on the ribbons cascading down his chest. Pleasure shot through his nipples, and she smiled at the tension in his face. Wrapping the ribbons around her fingers, she led him, stumbling, across the room, where there was a large table used for folding laundry. She edged up against it and released him, leaving him standing at attention in front of her. Carefully, she lifted the edge of her black dress, revealing that she wore stockings, not pantyhose, and that she had no panties on whatsoever. She slipped herself neatly onto the table and reached out to get another grasp on those damned ribbons. With a sudden harsh tug, she pulled him onto her, and then pressed his head down.
