"White"

You’re not even my type: I don’t usually fall for blondes. But there’s a certain darkness behind your fair demeanor, and a certain depth to the way in which you caress my lips. And the mysterious allure of your perfume, so bold yet so delicate…do I detect a hint of honeysuckle within your peach? Still, I can’t help but shake the feeling that I should maintain my guard around you. You seem a bit temperamental, and I would hate to see you in a sour mood. For now, though, I think I’ll indulge in our summertime fling…until its fall.

"Rosé"

There’s a term for you: barely legal. You seem to be remarkably complex and mature for your age, while retaining your refreshingly youthful flair. From your skinny legs to the way you flitter against my tongue, you are a good little Lolita, bouts of whimsy and all. Some do not like that you were unplucked so early, but I find your infantile ways quite endearing. However, I must confess, I don’t know if I’d be able to withstand the scent of your hidden fruit during any other season.

Am I making you blush? You look so charming when you do…

"Red"

Oh Latin lover, how your forceful ways tease me to ecstasy! So heavy, so unctuous, the way you undulate as your juices slither down my throat. You intoxicated me the moment we met, coaxing me to submit myself to you. Indeed, the more I tried to resist, the more I was drawn to the spicy beckoning of your aroma, the fierce intensity of your statements, and your sultry good looks. So worldly, yet so uninhibited; you take possession of all my senses, driving me to a whirlwind delirium, leaving me breathless, and gasping, “Oh my, you are so big!”
