My MOM

My MOM - MyVideoPics001.jpg

WHY DO WOMEN CRY A little boy asked his mother 'Why are you crying' 'Because I'm a woman' she told him'I don't understand' he said His Mom just hugged him and said 'And you never will'Later the little boy asked his father 'Why does mother seem to cry for no reason''All women cry for no reason' was all his dad could sayThe little boy grew up and became a man still wondering why women cryFinally he put in a call to God When God got on the phone he asked 'God why do women cry so easily'God said'When I made the woman she had to be specialI made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world yet gentle enough to give comfortI gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times comes from her childrenI gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complainingI gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances even when her child has hurt her very badlyI gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heartI gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringlyAnd finally I gave her a tear to shed This is hers exclusively to use whenever it is needed''You see my son' said God 'the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hairThe beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes because that is the doorway to her heart the place where love resides'

handsome and kindhearted man - CHISHTIAJMER-1.jpg

The Dargah of Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti RA at Ajmer has made this small town the epicentre of love and devotion for devotees from across the world And Khwaja Saheb's blessing is such that every soul who comes here to pay his respects to Khwaja Saheb finds freedom from all miseries Throughout the centuries Khwaja Saheb's principles and virtues have been passed onto others in search of the eternal truth by his descendants Among them is one such divine voice and a mentor to thousands Sufi Peer Baba Syed Sameer Chishti Shah Saheb His simplicity is itself a message to his followers He lives and breathes Khwaja Saheb's message of love and devotion in his every action And this comes as a natural extension of Peer Baba's unequalled love for Khwaja Saheb To many who seek to feel the legacy of Khwaja Saheb Peer Baba's personality provides a feeling of everlasting peace In Peer Baba's company one can almost experience the spiritual presence of Khwaja Saheb To the true seekers with a pure heart every second lived with Peer Baba is a unique spiritual journey where one experiences everything from the Holy Prophet Mohammad's SAW life and beliefs to the intense love for Khwaja Saheb to the realisation of the real Islam And of course one is left with the divine satisfaction of having embarked on the true path of ultimately finding oneself close to God and in one's own heart And there lies the real Jannath heaven

Eros

salsa88 — Mon, 11 May 2009 10:37:59 MDT

Eros - Eros.jpg

Eros the Greek god of love and sexual desire the word eros which is found in the Iliad by Homer is a common noun meaning sexual desire He was also worshiped as a fertility god believed to be a contemporary of the primeval Chaos which makes Eros one of the oldest gods In the Dionysian Mysteries Eros is referred to as protagonus the first born But there are many variations to whom the parents of Eros really where According to Aristophanes Birds he was born from Erebus and Nyx Night in later mythology Eros is the offspring of Aphrodite and Ares Yet in the Theogony the epic poem written by Hesiod it mentions a typified Eros as being an attendant of Aphrodite but not her son Another legend says that he was the son of Iris and Zephyrus From the early legend of Eros it is said that he was responsible for the embraces of Uranus Heaven or Sky and Gaia Earth and from their union were born many offspring It was also written that Eros hatched our race and made it appear first into the light Birds by Aristophanes Although one of the oldest gods he was a latecomer to Greek religion He was worshiped in many regions of Greece at Thespiae there was an ancient fertility cult and in Athens he and Aphrodite had a joint cult Also in Athens the forth day of every month was sacred to Eros Sometimes Eros was worshiped by the name Erotes which is the plural of Eros this personified all the attractions that evoked love and desire this included heterosexual and homosexual allurements Anteros the Returner of Love also known as the god of MutualLove was the brother of Eros which comes from the version of which Aphrodite and Ares are said to be the mother and father of Eros Eros is usually depicted as a young winged boy with his bow and arrows at the ready to either shoot into the hearts of gods or mortals which would rouse them to desire His arrows came in two types golden with dove feathers which aroused love or leaden arrows which had owl feathers that caused indifference Sappho the poet summarized Eros as being bitter sweet and cruel to his victims yet he was also charming and very beautiful Being unscrupulous and a danger to those around him Eros would make as much mischief as he possibly could by wounding the hearts of all but according to one legend he himself fell in love This legend tells us that Eros was always at his mothers side assisting her in all her conniving and godly affairs The legend goes on to say that Aphrodite became jealous of the beauty of a mortal a beautiful young woman named Psyche In her fit of jealousy Aphrodite asked Eros to shoot his arrow into the heart of Psyche and make her fall in love with the ugliest man on earth He agreed to carry out his mothers wishes but on seeing her beauty Eros fell deeply in love with Psyche himself He would visit her every night but he made himself invisible by telling Psyche not to light her chamber Psyche fell in love with Eros even though she could not see him until one night curiosity overcame her She concealed a lamp and while Eros slept she lit the lamp revealing the identity of Eros But a drop of hot oil spilt from the lamp awakening the god Angered she had seen him Eros fled and the distraught Psyche roamed the earth trying in vain to find her lover In the end Zeus took pity and reunited them he also gave his consent for them to marry There are variations of this legend but most have the same outcome The Romans borrowed Eros from the Greeks and named him Cupid Latin cupido meaning desire Eros has been depicted in art in many ways The Romans regarded him as a symbol of life after death and decorated sarcophagi with his image The Greeks regarded him as most beautiful and handsome the most loved and the most loving They placed statues of him in gymnasiums as most athletes were thought to be beautiful He was depicted on every form of utensil from drinking vessels to oil flasks usually showing him ready to fire an arrow into the heart of an unsuspecting victim

Bailey Girls 4 Life - 1407150961_l.jpg

There comes a time in your life when you finally get it When in the midst of all your fears and insanity you stop dead in your tracks and somewhere the voice inside your head cries out ENOUGH Enough fighting and crying or struggling to hold on And like a child quieting down after a blind tantrum your sobs begin to subside you shudder once or twice you blink back your tears and through a mantle of wet lashes you begin to look at the world from a new perspectiveThis is your awakening You realize that it is time to stop hoping and waiting for something or someone to change or for happiness safety and security to come galloping over the next horizon You come to terms with the fact that there aren't always fairytale endings or beginnings for that matter and that any guarantee of happily ever after must begin with you Then a sense of serenity is born of acceptance So you begin making your way through the reality of today rather than holding out for the promise of tomorrow You realize that much of who you are and the way you navigate through life is in great part a result of all the social conditioning you've received over the course of a lifetime And you begin to sift through all the nonsense you were taught about how you should look and how much you should weigh what you should wear and where you should shop where you should live or what type of car you should drive who you should sleep with and how you should behave who you should marry and why you should stay the importance of bearing children or what you owe your family Slowly you begin to open up to new worlds and different points of view And you begin reassessing and redefining who you are and what you really believe in And you begin to discard the doctrines you have outgrown or should never have practiced to begin with You accept the fact that you are not perfect and that not everyone will love appreciate or approve of who or what you are and that's OK they are entitled to their own views and opinions And you come to terms with the fact that you will never be a size 5 or a perfect 10 Or a perfect human being for that matter and you stop trying to compete with the image inside your head or agonizing over how you compare And you take a long look at yourself in the mirror and you make a promise to give yourself the same unconditional love and support you give so freely to others Then a sense of confidence is born of selfapproval And you stop maneuvering through life merely as a consumer hungry for your next fix a new dress another pair of shoes or looks of approval and admiration from family friends or even strangers who pass by Then you discover that it is truly in giving that we receive and that the joy and abundance you seek grows out of the giving And you recognize the importance of creating and contributing rather than obtaining and accumulating And you give thanks for the simple things you've been blessed with things that millions of people upon the earth can only dream about a full refrigerator clean running water a soft warm bed the freedom of choice and the opportunity to pursue your own dreams And you begin to love and to care for yourself You stop engaging in selfdestructive behaviors including participating in dysfunctional relationships You begin eating a balanced diet drinking more water and exercising And because you've learned that fatigue drains the spirit and creates doubt and fear you give yourself permission to rest And just as food is fuel for the body laughter is fuel for the spirit and so you make it a point to create time for play Then you learn about love and relationships how to love how much to give in love when to stop giving and when to walk away And you allow only the hands of a lover who truly loves and respects you to glorify you with his touch You learn that people don't always say what they mean or mean what they say intentionally or unintentionally and that not everyone will always come through and interestingly enough it's not always about you So you stop lashing out and pointing fingers or looking to place blame for the things that were done to you or weren't done for you And you learn to keep your Ego in check and to acknowledge and redirect the destructive emotions it spawns anger jealousy and resentment You learn how to say I was wrong and to forgive people for their own human frailties You learn to build bridges instead of walls and about the healing power of love as it is expressed through a kind word a warm smile or a friendly gesture And at the same time you eliminate any relationships that are hurtful or fail to uplift and edify you You stop working so hard at smoothing things over and setting your needs aside You learn that feelings of entitlement are perfectly OK and that it is your right to want or expect certain things And you learn the importance of communicating your needs with confidence and grace You learn that the only cross to bear is the one you choose to carry and that eventually martyrs are burned at the stake Then you learn to distinguish between guilt and responsibility and the importance of setting boundaries and learning to Say NO You learn that you don't know all the answers it's not your job to save the world and that sometimes you just need to Let Go Moreover you learn to look at people as they really are and not as you would want them to be and you are careful not to project your neediness or insecurities onto a relationship You learn that you will not be more beautiful more intelligent more lovable or important because of the man on your arm or the child that bears your name You learn that just as people grow and change so it is with love and relationships and that that not everyone can always love you the way you would want them to So you stop appraising your worth by the measure of love you are given And suddenly you realize that it's wrong to demand that someone live their life or sacrifice their dreams just to serve your needs ease your insecurities or meet your standards and expectations You learn that the only love worth giving and receiving is the love that is given freely without conditions or limitations And you learn what it means to love So you stop trying to control people situations and outcomes You learn that alone does not mean lonely and you begin to discover the joy of spending time with yourself and on yourself Then you discover the greatest and most fulfilling love you will ever know Self Love And so it comes to pass that through understanding your heart heals and now all new things are possible Moving along you begin to avoid Toxic people and conversations And you stop wasting time and energy rehashing your situation with family and friends You learn that talk doesn't change things and that unrequited wishes can only serve to keep you trapped in the past So you stop lamenting over what could or should have been and you make a decision to leave the past behind Then you begin to invest your time and energy to affect positive change You take a personal inventory of all your strengths and weaknesses and the areas you need to improve in order to move ahead you set your goals and map out a plan of action to see things through You learn that life isn't always fair and you don't always get what you think you deserve and you stop personalizing every loss or disappointment You learn to accept that sometimes bad things happen to good people and that these things are not an act of God but merely a random act of fate And you stop looking for guarantees because you've learned that the only thing you can really count on is the unexpected and that whatever happens you'll learn to deal with it And you learn that the only thing you must truly fear is the great robber baron of all time FEAR itself So you learn to step right into and through your fears because to give into fear is to give away the right to live life on your terms You learn that much of life truly is a selffulfilling prophesy and you learn to go after what you want and not to squander your life living under a cloud of indecision or feelings of impending doom Then YOU LEARN ABOUT MONEY the personal power and independence it brings and the options it creates And you recognize the necessity to create your own personal wealth Slowly you begin to take responsibility for yourself by yourself and you make yourself a promise to never betray yourself and to never ever settle for less than your heart's desire And a sense of power is born of selfreliance And you live with honor and integrity because you know that these principles are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which you must build your life And you make it a point to keep smiling to keep trusting and to stay open to every wonderful opportunity and exciting possibility Then you hang a wind chime outside your window to remind yourself what beauty there is in Simplicity Finally with courage in your heart and with God by your side you take a stand you FAKE a deep breath and you begin to design the life you want to live as best as you can A word about the Power of Prayer In some of my darkest most painful and frightening hours I have prayed not for the answers to my prayers or for material things but for my God to help me find the strength confidence and courage to persevere to face each day and to do what I must do Remember this You are an expression of the almighty The spirit of God resides within you and moves through you Open your heart speak to that spirit and it will heal and empower you My God has never failed meAfter a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soulAnd you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean securityAnd you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promisesAnd you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead with the grace of an adult not the grief of a childAnd you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in midflight After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too muchSo you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to leave you flowersAnd you learn that you really can endureYou really are strong you really do have worthAnd you learn and you learnWith every goodbye you learnThis is the intro to the many thoughts of my life My many trials and tribulations have been ongoing lessons I have not yet learned I have became that child that you keep having to say stop to over and over I have not yet got the point These trials

Hera - hera.jpg

Hera the Greek goddess called the Queen of Heaven was a powerful queen in her own right long before her marriage to Zeus the mighty king of the Olympian gods The goddess Hera ruled over the heavens and the earth responsible for every aspect of existence including the seasons and the weather Honoring her great capacity to nurture the world her very name translates as the Great Lady Our word galaxy comes from the Greek word gala meaning mother's milk legend has it that the Milky Way was formed from the milk spurting from the breasts of the Greek goddess Hera Queen of Heaven Where drops fell to earth fields of lilies sprung forth She was also worshipped as the Roman goddess Juno and the month of June which is the most popular month for weddings is named in her honor It is partly on account of Hera's great beauty and particularly her beautiful large eyes that she is linked to her sacred animal the cow and also the peacock with its iridescent feathers having eyes The cow symbolizes the goddess Hera's nurturing watchfulness over her subjects while the peacock symbolizes her luxury beauty and immortality In ancient times Hera was revered as being the only one the Greek goddesses who accompanied a woman through every step of her life The goddess Hera blessed and protected a woman's marriage bringing her fertility protecting her children and helping her find financial security Hera was in short a complete woman overseeing both private and public affairs But it was Hera's uncommon beauty that attracted the attention of her future husband the lusty Zeus who tricked Hera into taking him to her breast by changing himself into a small frightened and wounded bird that elicited her pity Once cradled in Hera's bosom Zeus changed back into his manly form and tried to take her but she resisted his advances putting him off until he promised to marry her The delay only increased his desire for Hera and once married they had the longest honeymoon on record lasting over 300 years nfortunately the goddess Hera's life was not to remain so enviable Once the honeymoon was over Zeus reverted to his earlier playboy lifestyle married or not compulsively seducing or raping whichever of the Greek goddesses or mortal women caught his wandering eye His amorous exploits left the regal goddess Hera feeling betrayed and humiliated on numerous occasions To make matters even worse Zeus often showed more favor towards the offspring of his illicit liaisons than he did to the children Hera bore him In Greek mythology Hera although wounded remained faithful and steadfast in her loyalty to Zeus electing instead to vent her fury on the other women rather than Zeus himself even though it was usually Zeus who had deceived seduced or raped the innocent women This wasn't always Hera's reaction however On one occasion she decided to give Zeus a taste of his own medicine by conceiving and delivering a child by herself proving that she really didn't need him anyway It didn't work out quite as she'd hoped She gave birth as the sole parent to Hephaestus God of the Forge who was born with a deformity that made him lame Zeus was not impressed and Hera rejected her son sending him away from Mount Olympus to grow up among the mortals At other times in reaction to his continuing infidelities the goddess Hera simply withdrew from Zeus and the other Olympian gods and goddesses and wandered around the earth often in darkness always eventually ending up back at the home where she'd spend her happy youth In spite of how he had mistreated her Zeus did love Hera and more than that felt as if part of himself was missing when she was not there for him Once panicked that Hera didn't seem to be in any hurry to return this time he invited her to a mock marriage ceremony that he'd arranged to a princess near her home She couldn't help but be amused to discover him making his vows not to a princess but a statue Hera's laughter broke the ice and she forgave him and returned to Mount Olympus to resume her role as wife and queen It is unfortunate that it is not the goddess Hera's nurturing or her steadfastness in the face of adversity that are remembered today but mostly the stories of her jealousy and vindictiveness Some historians argue that the goddess Hera was unjustly portrayed in the famous stories of Homer probably because he was himself victimized by a mean and shrewish wife More than any of the other Greek goddesses the goddess Hera reminds us that there is both light and dark within each of us and that joy and pain are inextricably linked in life The Greek goddess Hera represents the fullness of life and affirms that we can use our own wisdom in the pursuit of any goal we choose

Compare the authors presentations of women and power in The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Which in your opinion is more effectiveEnglish LiteratureJamie ScottCandidate 5121Centre Number 37323 Compare the authors presentations of women and power in The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Which in your opinion is more effectiveIn the novels The Color Purple and Oranges are Not the Only Fruit women are portrayed in both similar and different ways The first major similarities shared by the books are the lead characters both Celie and Jeanette are young girls living with their adoptive guardians and both girls are involved in lesbian relationships at some point in the story These similarities in the heroines of the stories provide the basis for my investigation as they are a catalyst for all the major examples of women and power throughout both novelsIn The Color Purple women are treated as slaves and sexual objects This view is reflected well in Celies relationship with Mr he marries her so she has to look after his children and frequently rapes her The almost complete opposite of this is Sofia and Harpos relationship where Sofia is dominant and commands Harpos every movementIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit there are no particularly extreme signs of sexual or sexist domination by either gender There are however instances where one character of the novel or a group of characters are shown to discriminate against other characters In both The Color Purple and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the most important characters are female Many of the major decisions which make up the stories are made by women In both novels the lead characters are greatly affected by the teachings and views of other women in the books In The Color Purple the women who influence Celie and her decisions are Shug Avery Nettie and Sofia Being portrayed at the start of the novel as her protector Nettie is the first person to show Celie ways in which she can become independent Although these first lessons seem to be just childish fun at the start of the novel they provide a basis for Walker to expand upon with other characters When Nettie fights off Mrs sexual advances she shows that women are not just objects for men to use at their own will After Nettie is thrown out of Mrs house letter 11 we dont hear much about her until later in the novel letter 51 Now she is not Celies protector but is instead showing her power and independence by trying to save the Olinka village in Africa Soon after Nettie makes a disappearance from the novel Walker introduces us to an even more influential character Shug Avery When Shug first arrives at Mrs home she is sick with nasty woman disease this possibly being Walkers euphemism for a sexually transmitted infection If this was the case Shugs first appearance in the story would be also the first time she is shown to have traditionally masculine qualities by being promiscuous Much unlike the majority of the women in The Color Purple Shug is not oppressed by men she doesnt allow herself to be dominated by anyone Her strong personality is a major part of her overall effect in the book her looks and career being mainly symbols of her power over the opposite sexThroughout the novel Shug has different roles many of which are because of the parts she plays towards Celie At various points in the book Shug plays the part of Celies mother sister friend lover and teacherThe lessons Shug teaches Celie are factors in the climax of the novel Without the influence of Shug Celie would still be the downtrodden passive character she is in the first few letters By learning to her own sexuality and voice Celie manages to recover her identity and eventually even believe in a different religious viewLike Shug Sofia is a character who refuses to be dominated by anyone whether they are white men or anyone elseAfter confronting Celie over her advice to Harpo on beating Sofia in order to gain power within the household Celie admits that she only told him to do such things because she was jealous of Sofias presence and the way she stands up for herself This is important in Celies life as it is the first time she realises that anyone can gain respect or power by being persistent enough to endure the hardships that life brings but also to take a stand and show that they have their own voice and identityCelie herself is at the end of the novel a heroic figure to both the reader and to the other characters After suffering for so long at the hands of Pa and later Mr Celie finally stands up for herself and secures herself a future by making her voice be heard This act is the climax of the novel and after such a buildup the reader feels a sense of victory both for Celie and for themselves Being a feminist Walkers novel is obviously in the favour of the female gender but the victory over oppression is universal and can be applied to any person who has suffered from either gender Walker manages to show that women can triumph over men if they band together creating her own feminist movement within the novel although she does so in a way which emphasises the importance of relationships and sisterhood rather than the stereotypical antimen views of some womenIn Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the characters who make the majority of the decisions which affect either the story or Jeanette are her mother and Elsie Norris Jeanettes mother is described at the start of the novel as old testament through and through by the narrator In the old testament God was easily angered and meanspirited This summary of Jeanettes mothers character is one which fits perfectly as her love of Jeanette fluctuates in correlation with Jeanettes fulfilment of her mothers wishesBy being one of the most religious characters Jeanettes mother is also one of the most hypocritical Her actions towards her daughter are harsh and unloving unlike the kind and generous actions expected from a true believer in Jesus teachings Her ability to control Jeanettes actions as a child becomes less and less throughout the novel until the end where Jeanette effectively disowns her The decrease in the power she has over Jeanette is huge but when Jeanette returns home for Christmas her mother acts like nothing has changed By this point in the novel she is no longer the dominating woman we saw at the start she is a more softened and accepting woman who simply reaches for her CB radio whenever she feels distressed Her comfort comes in the form of the World Service her intended use for JeanetteLike Jeanettes mother Elsie is also a devout member of the church and testifies daily Unlike Jeanettes mother however Elsie is outgoing and has a history of travel behind her She represents the imaginative individual who Jeanette will eventually turn intoWhen Jeanettes own mother is being neglectful Elsie is the woman she turns to for comfort and guidance Jeanette learns many things that help her to become the character she is from Elsie that the only way to become the person she wants to be is by opening her mind to new ideasElsie suggests that when Jeanette quits the church she may be better off finding her own way in the world rather than pursuing a religion that she doesnt agree withUnlike Jeanettes mother Elsies power over Jeanette is not dominating or oppressing because Jeanettes lesbianism and rejection of the church are accepted by Elsie when everyone else shuns her The true power that Elsie has is the power to help people and that is what she does for Jeanette throughout When Elsie dies late in the novel Jeanette is deeply saddened at the loss Elsie is her only true friend and even manages to replace her motherJeanette towards the end of the novel is like Celie in the way that she riumphs over hardships but these are nowhere near as severe as in The Color Purple Where Celie is oppressed by men Jeanette is shunned by the church and her mother As a way of coping with her troubles Jeanette writes stories in the same way that Celie uses her letter writing as a coping mechanismBeing an active feminist Winterson has written many pieces about the roles of women in society and their apparent lack of power Winterson highlights this in a piece from The Guardian about Doris Lessing a feminist icon and novelist The main feel of the piece is not about Ms Lessing however it is more about the way women are still struggling for power with their male counterparts relating more to The Color Purple than Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit To conclude I feel that in terms of the portrayal of women and power Alice Walker is the most effective writer of the two Her story not only describes male dominance and the ways in which women can overcome such hardships but also how women can still be civil and forgiving after years of oppression This I feel is a feature that can be felt by every reader as a show of true power and strength whatever their race sexuality gender or even religious preference In Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit the general tone is much lighter than in The Color Purple and to keep the story lighthearted there are much fewer troubles to be overcome resulting in a climax which seems much less significant in terms of women and power than Walkers novel On balance Celies struggle through rape and oppression is more effectively shown than Jeanettes sexuality being frowned upon by her mother and the church Whilst homophobia is a problem that more and more people are affected by every day I feel that sexual dominance and the way women are treated is a problem that has been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years and will continue to touch readers for many more BibliographyThe Guardian Newspapers

closed eyes He still continues to hold her into himself by the hips Winks at him her eyes smoldering Now that you have me what will you do with me grins He continues to look at her and hold her closly He leans in and whispers in her ear slyly I think it's the other way around He withdrawls to look at her I think the question is not what I would do but what wouldn't I smirks slipping from his grasp

looking at him for a moment befor disapearing behind it He follows her hand in pocket and the same look pasted to his face Waits till he passes then grabs hold of him pinning him up against the tree her hands moving under the waistband of his trousers as she nibbles at his neck He slips his hands over her hips as she kisses his neck He walks tward her Making her step back he slowly walks in a circle and then pins her up against the tree He puts one hand up by her head on the bark The other elow still on her waist Begins to unfasten his shirt She kisses his chest as she pulls away his shirt

pulls himself up so he is infront of her he begins to lick her from her collar bone and a little down His motions not subsiding Melissa Locks her legs around him moving her hips faster She squeals with pleasure as an orgasm rocks her body Oh Lasaro she kisses his cheek and ruffles his hair excitedly Lasaro He slides his hands down to her theighs and takes a firm hold making sure she dosn't move
