Text snippet: He heard the gasping breaths, but they failed to quell his burning need and he flailed desperately for air. His hands came in contact with something and he felt the steely cooler pressed around his arms and caving in close around his body.

I suppose I should have been clearer just how much sneaking would be involved." "Th—thank you, uh, ma'am," he said, blushing. He should have figured, but it was nice for her to say, anyway.
