Cabe-evans Quote by Beckie Stevenson
““I huff. I have no intention of going anywhere near the school slut, but I nod at him anyway. "I hear she lets you fuck her like a dog," he says. "That's great," I say, "if you're a zoophile." "Zoophile?" he repeats, frowning at me. "That some stupid English thing again?" "No, it's someone who likes fucking animals.””
