Dante was forced to pull back from her neck when Jade pressed down and slide herself upon his up-curved and twitching cock. That vein laden rod was absolutely ready for her... it had been for what seemed like twenty minutes now. Blood would be licked from his bottom lip as he returned to sitting straight-up before her.
