She Ejaculated!

"I also used ALL of your techniques that you taught me, and she ejaculated! And she said she’s never done that before. …I would recommend any of my friends to have a private session with you any day. I’ve told certain trusted friends that it was worth every penny! I learned so much and [told them] how professional you were. Before I get married, I’ll be signing up yet again for round two!"
