Italian term or phrase: punta
Istintivamente tornai a frugare tra le pieghe del sesso e non dovetti cercare molto con le dita per ritrovare la dura punta di smalto.
(la traudzione "dente" non é appropriata perché anche se si tratta effettivamente di un dente a questo punto della storia non si deve ancora scopire).
PS. NOn é uno scherzo di pessimo gusto... devo tradurlo relamente per un racconto. Grazie a tutti.
