Je sens bien le "petit rasoir" en nacre sculptée / incrustée

Tu brules mon ami, tu brules !

  

J'avoue que s'il ne devait me rester qu'un craquage, ce serait sur un nacre dans cette idée ^^

Ah bah moi ça va finir par arriver... Mais que le teasing cesse Charlie, on veut du sang ! On veut la bête !
