The final photograph was all about her face; that glorious face. Big, blue gray eyes, sun-kissed apricot hair, porcelain skin, partially hidden by a lacy black mask. At only 5' 1½", she was still above me, a goddess. Yet, she seethed sensuality. I slept on the ad, until I realized that the sooner I answer, the better my chances were.
