"Sentì la mano di Minna dietro la testa. Riconobbe i leggeri movimenti rotatori. Vanessa, Jennifer e Gustaf si sedettero sulla panca diagonalmente opposta ad Aaliyah e Anastasia. Gustaf sembrava non poter togliere gli occhi da addosso ad Aja. Si sporse in avanti e aprì l'asciugamano. Anche lui era in semi erezione. Vanessa gli posò la mano sull'uccello come se volesse farlo star buono, ma Henrik vide anche i suoi piccoli movimenti contenuti, il modo in cui lo stringeva per poi allargare la mano."

"Vicino al letto c'era un secchiello per il ghiaccio. Pieno. La ragazza ne prese in bocca un cubetto. Si piegò sulle ginocchia. Henrik sentì un pizzicore e un formicolio partirgli dai testicoli e risalire velocemente lungo la sua asta. Fino al glande. Gli sembrò di essere solo il suo cazzo. Nient'altro. Il sangue, quel poco che era rimasto, gli fece fischiare le orecchie. Il resto gli era finito tutto in mezzo alle gambe. Abbassò gli occhi su Jennifer, che si stava spingendo i capelli indietro con la mano. La sua fronte alta. Gli occhi enormi.

"Jennifer praticamente stava saltando sulla sua bocca. Le cosce premevano sempre più contro le sue orecchie. Riusciva però a sentire quanto lei urlava. In lei tutto si tese. Ogni singolo muscolo sembrava contratto. Smise di saltargli sulla bocca, si spinse verso il basso rimanendo ferma. Le sue piccole e grandi labbra invece sussultavano, aprendosi e chiudendosi. Come l'altro suo buchino. Tutto in lei sembrava aprirsi e chiudersi, i suoi umori scorrevano. Henrik avrebbe potuto bere da lei, succhiare il suo nettare. Perché era quello il sapore che aveva adesso, più dolce di prima."
