The fire is lit, the blanket on the floor, and the picnic basket of exotic foods sits next to Larry while he reaches inside to pull out grapes and erotically feeds them to his lover. Her pouty lips reach up to meet his fingers, and she sucks the morsels into her mouth. Larry leans forward, quickly replacing his fingers with his lips on hers.
