Sabrina Carpentar's official Expresso Video

This story is for L.C. Schäfer's October and November 2024 Challenge.

Expresso to Karen was aphrodisiac. She stayed away from it as much as she could.

Karen's best friend, Suzy, invited her to Jerry's Thanksgiving football party.

Karen still had feelings for Jerry. Karen and Jerry were high school sweethearts. Suzy, Jerry, and Karen grow up in the same neighborhood. They had gone to school together. They stopped being friends a year ago when Jerry was caught cheating on Karen.

Jerry contacted Suzy for his annual Thanksgiving football party. Everyone brought their potluck this year. Karen usually put out a fest for him before they broke up last year.

Jerry regretted cheating on Karen. It was a big mistake. He would never do it again if only he could return with Karen.

Karen reluctantly attended his party. Suzy could convince Karen to go.

They arrived an hour late, the football game already started. All the guys were in Jerry's living watching the game on his 75-inch smart TV. The women were in the kitchen gossiping.

"Ladies, what are you all doing in the kitchen, the party is in the living room. Suzy, please help me set up the food in the living." Jerry requested.

Jerry and Suzy are also first cousins. Jerry treated Suzy like a sister.

Suzy put all the food in Jerry's portable tray, to place them in the living room for all the guests to eat. Suzy knew Jerry wanted to be alone with Karen.

Jerry knew how to seduce Karen but first, he had to try and put her guard down.

Jerry offered Karen coffee. It was not coffee but expresso. Karen was nervous and took it. She drank it. The expresso loosened Karen's guard.

" I miss you, Karen. Can we get back together? I should have never cheated on you. " Jerry pleaded.

Karen was in a state of euphoria after drinking the expresso. She missed Jerry as well. She could not be mad at Jerry with expresso in her system.
