Chers Penthouse, j’ai été un fervent lecteur de votre magazine depuis de nombreuses années mais je n’ai jamais rien fait qui était vraiment digne de votre colonne, jusqu’à maintenant. J’ai rencontré une dame à la barre. Elle portait des bas, et avait un regard étrange dans les yeux.
Nous avons fait le petit entretien et puis elle m’a demandé de la rejoindre dans les toilettes. Nous sèche-bosse jusqu’à ce que je éjaculé prématurément dans mon pantalon. Nous avons entendu des bruits de l’extérieur de la salle de bain. Rapidement, nous avons ouvert la porte que de tomber dans un flash mob chanter “Lonely Boy” par les Black Keys. – Petite Pierre
