But before he could spit it out, the second, third, and fourth eruption had covered his lips in thick, creamy semen. If that wasn’t mortifying enough, the high school jock’s reaction…

These spirits, or four daughters, each held distinct tremendous natural power, shaping the planet known as Bhumiya. Earth created the mountains and rich soil.
