Hot Numbers
There’s absolutely no rhyme or reason to what takes place in this one, just wall-to-wall action contained within a two-story house. We begin downstairs, where Nikki Knights is just finishing up her shower when Jon Martin comes calling. They soon are wrapped up in one another’s arms as they get down to business right then and there. Tracey Adams soon shows up and adds her prodigious curves to the mix, only to be interrupted by Billy Dee. Tracey and Billy pair off for some steamy interracial fun, while Jon and Nikki keep on keepin’ on. We then go upstairs, where Nina Hartley is in the process of a sexy striptease for Buddy Love. He tells her that his wife (rail-thin black beauty Alexis White) won’t be back for an hour, but as soon as Nina and Buddy get into it, Alexis shows up
