Prophetic Passion Beautiful Meg Hilton sat in the jungle darkness beside the flame-lit clearing. There a naked young black girl, no older than herself, was dancing, feet stamping, tight buttocks and flat belly rolling, small hard breasts jerking, head swinging, and raven-thatched pubes thrusting in time with the music.
