Nikki manipulates them all in an insane, sexual, erotic, dangerous tale in achieving full Divahood through a sexual encounter with a Murderer. 21:00:08 From Daniel Erickson : Welcome to the first installment of a gripping 20-part series, where the unimaginable unfolds. Picture this: You accidentally summon an Archdemon, and in a moment of desperation, you seek his guidance on life's complexities. Little do you know, once summoned, the enigmatic Archdemon known as Bedlam is compelled to answer your call. However, as time passes, summoning him becomes easier, almost too easy. There's a catch—you possess a limited number of times you can summon Bedlam without enduring dire consequences. While he promises destruction to those who surpass his pre-ordained allowance, the true number remains shrouded in mystery. BEDLAM EXPRESSIONS offers you an extraordinary glimpse into the harrowing world and profound wisdom of the infernal realm. As Bedlam emerges from the abyss, his presence illuminates the depths of war-torn realms, revealing untold secrets and offering unfiltered insights. Each encounter with Bedlam unravels layers of chaos and unveils profound truths, challenging your perceptions 21:00:40 From AB : Reacted to "Thanks AB" with ❤️ 21:00:44 From Max Gold : Here’s where you can find Bleeding Rainbows and Other Broken Spectrums. 🙂 https://www.hexpublishers.com/publications_bleeding-rainbows-and-other-broken-spectrums.html 21:00:54 From David Hyman : Stay informed: https://somawestcbd.org/news/subscribe View our latest newsletter: https://sfleatherdistrict.com/civicrm/mailing/view/?id=400&reset=1 And get your own copy delivered next month: https://sfleatherdistrict.org/signup 21:01:02 From Daniel Erickson : Reacted to "Here’s where you can..." with 🍸 21:01:15 From Dominique(she,her) : Reacted to "ROUGH AND DANGEROUS!..." with ❤️
