Transfixed
Adult Time proudly presents Transfixed... the First Premium Trans Women Showcase Series. Cherie Deville knows that tonight is going to be magical. When the crowds part, her eyes fall upon a mysterious woman, Venus Lux. Their hands sensually explore each other's bodies as pieces of clothes fall away to the floor. As night falls, Chanel Santini hurries inside, then freezes as she discovers Kleio Valentien waiting for her. It's clear that she wants one thing, and Chanel's all too happy to deliver. Natalie Mars and Riley Reyes nestle together in the backseat of a town car. She knows she's about to taste more than just her lips. After Riley eagerly goes down on her, Natalie soon gives them both what they'd been craving.
