She cried as if she despised herself, 568 01:10:21,166 --> 01:10:23,771 but the love was too strong... 569 01:10:25,767 --> 01:10:30,932 She doesn't spread her legs. She keeps them together. 570 01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,056 - Do you like it? - I almost had to force her. 571 01:10:35,749 --> 01:10:39,005 She closes her eyes. Refuses to look at me. 572 01:10:39,786 --> 01:10:42,781 And then she cries. It is very impressive. 573 01:10:44,387 --> 01:10:46,470 How is she coming? 574 01:10:47,425 --> 01:10:52,504 It is not important. I doubt she gets pleasure. 575 01:10:53,067 --> 01:10:56,931 But her surrender.
