1.1 Quotations from Readings

With a content smile, she shuts the book. Another good journey she had undertaken. This author hasn't let her down yet. She sits there with her smile and lets the story settles in her mind. 

A gentle caress runs down her neck and a deep voice asks, "Did you enjoy your book, ma cherie?" His voice was touched with a drizzle of French. His mother had been brought over to America by his father.

She sighed, "It was good."

She could hear the smile from his words, "Good." He then kissed her head and rubbed her arms softly. His hands slowly trailed down to her hands. She took a deep breath and a small moan escaped her lips. This caused a small chuckle from his cupid lips. Slowly, she stood from her reading chair and lead him to the bedroom. He willingly followed. They slowly undressed each other and took their pleasures from each other. After what seemed an eternity, they cried out their release. He rolled to the side and fell asleep. However, he kept one arm draped over her side. She smiled and looked at her left hand and at the sparkling diamond. She still couldn't believe they were engaged. They had been together for so long and she never thought it would happen.

Slowly, she crawled out of bed and made her way to her reading chair. The book she just read still was sitting on the arm piece. Quietly, she sat down and opened her book and flipped through all the quotes she highlighted, because she liked them and it meant something to her. She then flipped to the last page and she read the last quote from her readings over and over. 

"And they lived happily, ever after."
