My girlfriend hates red mood lighting but loves my dyke hands on her. We were fucking one night while taking pics when I thought wait a minute, look at my tattoo and then had to snap the photo to show her.
[Visual Description] Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags."
Woman laying in bed with her hands on her breasts, in her underwear with her legs lazily spread open. Her girlfriend holds her left inner thigh with her left hand, which has "dyke" tattoo'd across her fingers. The lighting is red mood.
