Growing Up, by Baker
(Auto-generated)
- With racing pulse I read and reread stories in which some rock-jawed detective caught glimpses of milky white thighs through wisps of lace or embraced some "luscious tomato" and felt her bosom heaving hungrily against his chest.†
Chpt 12luscious = very desirable
- In every story there came a maddening moment at the very height of the bosom-heaving when some terrible distraction occurred—the luscious tomato was shot dead in the detective's arms, for example, leaving me to imagine what might have happened if the killer had been a few minutes late arriving on the scene.†
Chpt 12
- My suffering was increased by my certainty that no tomato would ever let her luscious bosom heave against my chest.†
