squeeze my lemon teabags

so, i've dismounted my lover after a long night of sweaty love making.  i'm laying on a bearskin rug basking in the glow of a crackling fireplace.  my lover is worn, glistening and a bit parched.

"thirsty, lover?"  she attempts to answer.  "shhh, shhh, don't say a thing.  daddy will be back in minute..."

...i return to my lover moments later with my steaming love potion.  "here ya' go you sexy little..."

stumbling on a misplaced sex toy, i fling 212 degrees of searing hot tea over my lover's bare skin.  she recoils in fiery anguish as her skin blisters from my lemony-ginger shower.

i think to myself, "hmm, her cries are somehow different now.  i don't think she fully appreciates the effort that went into that tea."
