She had a precious little pink butterfly tattooed on her hip, and a heart on a chain around her throat, and both were getting banged around to the beat of his thrusting.

Tenía una preciosa mariposita rosa tatuada en la cadera, y una cadena con un corazón alrededor de la garganta, y ambos se mecían con el ritmo de sus empujes.
