Dégoulinant par les pores de sa peau ridée et grêlée, dégoulinant de son nez tordu par l'effort, dégoulinant de son vier suintant avant même de l'avoir pénétrée. Manon avait le temps de penser pendant qu'il faisait son dedans-dehors.
Ce soir là elle se fit douce et souriante, docile, travaillant son vier comme il lui avait appris, comme la pétasse qu'il avait façonné au fil des années. Et c'est au maximum de la turgescence, alors que le gonflement emplissait ses lèvres, qu'elle planta violemment ses incisives dans le sexe de son prédateur.
