a blush at this overspread her lovely face, and her eyes down cast to the ground seemed to be for quarter, when she had so great a right to triumph in all the treasures of youth and beauty that she now so victoriously display'd.Her legs were perfectly well shaped and her thighs, which she kept pretty close, shewed so white, so round, so substantial and abound-ing in firm flesh, that nothing could offer a stronger recommendation to the luxury of the touch, which he accordingly did not fail to indulge himself in.Then gently removing her hand, which in the first emotion of natural modesty she had carried thither, he gave us rather a glimpse than a view of that soft narrow chink running its little length downwards and hiding the remains of it between her thighs; but plain was to be seen the fringe of light-brown curls, in beauteous growth over it, that with their silky gloss created a pleasing variety from the surrounding white, whose lustre too, their gentle embrowning shade, considerably raised.Her spark then endeavoured, as she stood, by disclosing her thighs, to gain us a completer sight of that central charm of attraction, but not obtaining it so conveniently in that attitude, he led her to the foot of the couch, and bringing to it one of the pillows, gently inclin'd her head down, so that as she leaned with it over her crossed hands, straddling with her thighs wide spread, and jutting her body out, she presented a full back view of her person, naked to the waist.Her posteriours, plump, smooth, and prominent, form'd luxuriant tracts of animated snow, that splendidly filled the eye, till it was commanded down the parting or separation of those exquisitely white cliffs, by their narrow vale, and was there stopt, and attracted by the em-bowered bottom-cavity, that terminated this delightful vista and stood moderately gaping from the influence of her bended posture, so that the agreeable, interior red of the sides of the orifice came into view, and with respect to the white that dazzled round it, gave somewhat the idea of a pink slash in the glossiest white satin.Her gallant, who was a gentleman about thirty, somewhat inclin'd to a fatness that was in no sort displeasing, improving the hint thus tendered him of this mode of enjoyment, after settling her well in this posture, and encouraging her with kisses and caresses to stand him through, drew out his affair ready erected, and whose extreme length, rather disproportion'd to its breadth, was the more surprizing, as that excess is not often the case with those of his corpulent habit; making then the right and direct application, he drove it up to the guard, whilst the round bulge of those Turkish beauties of her's tallying with the hollow made with the bent of his belly and thighs, as they curved inwards, brought all those parts, surely not undelightfully, into warm touch, and close conjunction;
los apretó y la carne elástica que llenó sus manos, hundida por la fuerza, se levantó al alzarse éstas, borrando instantáneamente la presión; semejante era, por cierto, la consistencia de todas las otras partes de su cuerpo, donde la abundancia de carne compacta constituye la hermosa firmeza que tanto complace al tacto. Así, cuando se hubo complacido largamente con esta clase de regodeos y deleites, levantó sus enaguas y su camisa, anudándolas en la cintura, de modo que quedó desnuda por todas partes; ante esto, un sonrojo se extendió por su cara encantadora y sus ojos bajos parecían pedir cuartel, cuando tan grande derecho tenía al triunfo, con todos los tesoros de juventud y belleza que exhibía victoriosamente. Sus piernas estaban perfectamente formadas y sus muslos, que mantenía muy juntos, eran tan blancos, tan redondos, tan sustanciosos y dotados de carnes firmes, que nada podía ofrecer una recomendación tan fuerte a la lujuria del contacto, en la que por supuesto, no dejó de deleitarse. Luego, retirando suavemente la mano de ella que, en la primera emoción de la modestia natural, había llevado hasta allí, nos permitió dar una ojeada, más que mirar, a la suave y estrecha hendedura que se dirigía hacia abajo, escondiéndose bajo los muslos; en cambio, vimos muy bien la franja de rizos castaño claro que crecían bellamente alrededor de ella y que con su brillo sedoso creaban un agradable contraste con la piel blanca que los rodeaba, cuyo brillo aumentaba su suave sombra marrón. Entonces su galán se esforzó, con ella de pie, en separar sus muslos, para regalarnos con una visión completa de ese centro de encantadora atención; aunque al no poder obtenerlo en esa actitud, la condujo hasta los pies del diván y llevando un cojín hasta allí empujó suavemente su cabeza hacia abajo, haciendo que se inclinara y la apoyara en las manos, quedando a horcajadas con los muslos muy separados y el cuerpo impulsado hacia atrás de modo que presentaba una vista completa de la parte posterior de su persona, desnuda hasta la cintura.
