A Sphinx

Listen in the reader

I like to see a woman wearing furs, Long-haired and dark and vicious looking furs, Strong smelling, soft, exotic looking furs, Contrasting strongly with her brilliant flesh, Her tender, warm and angel-tinted flesh. I love the angel and the beast in women. That's why I like a woman wearing furs.
