Such a great topic to share with us, Donna, and that you re-examined your own work (with annotations!) is the best. I will never read about the heaving of chests and not think of you!

So glad you enjoyed this, and particularly the annotated sex scenes! I had fun doing those. Honored to thought of while bosoms are heaving.
