The walls were filthy and the chipped paint on the window sashes indicated the room had been painted numerous time, since it had been built. Clothing was strewn throughout the room and the small closet couldn’t hold any more. Once her father had thrown her…
walks into the sumptuous period bedroom of Palazzo Sagredo, Venice immediately observes the elaborate leaf like pattern stuccowork on the ceiling; putti (cupids) bearing garlands of flowers joyfully fly about the space ornamenting the ceiling and walls. The compelling fresco work, inner chamber dome, and fluted Corinthian columns draws further attention.

And to top it all off, three quirts of ‘I AM KING’ Cologne by Sean Jean. Cuzzo was feeling like the shit tonight and you couldn’t tell him anything different. Havannah walked up behind him and rubbed his back and lightly nibbled his ear and whispered, “Damn, baby you look good enough to eat but I guess that’ll have to wait, won’t it?” Cuzzo smiled and turned around…

My wrists were rubbed raw by the ropes that bound them, and I felt weak due to lack of sunlight. I checked my surroundings.
