From Double-Crossed:
" Marianne felt faint with desire. The room filled with the noise ofthe dildos slickly running in and out of their holes and moans of longing fromthe man and woman. Soon the man’s legs stiffened, and his pelvis started torise. His penis looked like it had been carved out of wood. Stripping back herattire to reveal her naked body, the robed woman climbed onto the table andstraddled his face so that everyone could plainly see her vagina, as it pressedhard down into his mouth. Then his dick started to twitch, and with a hugemoan, he shot white hot cum up into the air so that it landed on his belly andon the back of the woman."
