...were painted gold from the groin down, like something out of a James Bond credit sequence. At one point she stepped into a foaming bath and was sponged down by four scantily clad coryph?es. She lifted her feet in the air for them to admire and soap. Same-sex kink, fetish worship, an abundant and exuberant naughtiness without consummation?Mok loves to tease.
