Trick or Treat

I said it without thinking: “Trick or treat.” We had been working really hard on the Philly project for three days in a row, and we had just finished. We were too tired to celebrate.

However, the initiation of your partner into alternative practices can be one of the best experiences for any kink enthusiast.
