Shannon knew that the distracting tugs of his spleen stitches kept Sam from being able to complete the sex act these days, even into his own hand. And she must have plainly seen that his spleen stitches did not prevent him from getting painful, peremptory boners whenever she made moves like the one she'd just made. She eyed the olive-drab teepee in the middle of Sam's army cot with an expression that said, in a voice other than her own, "All right. My mouth may not be as efficiently hooked up to my frontal lobes as yours, Edwine; but I more than compensate for that with the acid eloquence of the rest of my hot little body."
