One Sentence

My shaft pulsing
Between her ivory thighs

She murmurs:
"O my lord don't make me
Love you"

Dear John,

I think it would work better if you used Ivory or ebony instead of Jade. I know that there are a few kinds/colors of Jade. Jade is not always green. But when one says, Jade, it is usually green that comes to mind. thanks for posting , my friend.

much love, Cat
