Kudos are due to director MimeFreak, who has placed Ashley Fires right where she belongs: at the center of her own star showcase. And the star herself knew just what to do with the opportunity: She finally takes the interracial plunge. And once she jumps in, she swims with the best of them, doing her first IR d.p. and full-on gangbang.

Mixing vignettes and straight-up gonzo, Ashley Fires Is the Archangel puts its star through her porn paces. The first scene starts with Fires in a foamy bubble bath caressing her natural tits and playing with a dildo. When her husband, played by professional sub Marcelo, tells her to have fun, we know that the day will involve some interracial cuckolding. Sure enough, her exacting boss turns out to be Sean Michaels, and she’s got to work all the angles—especially reverse cowgirl—to earn a promotion.

The rest of the scenes eschew plotlines, focusing on tease and athletic fucking. Her liaison with Prince Yahshua comes up second, but it’s actually Fires’ first IR—the “real first,” she explains. “I’ve never even jerked off a black dick. This is my first time. I’m really happy.”

There’s even more to be happy about when she tackles Yahshua and Rico Strong at the same time. In a room suffused with white light coming through white curtains, lying on a white couch, Fires does a double-handed blowjob, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl and bridge. Finally, she says, “I’ve got two black dicks inside me—that’s amazing.”

For the finale, Fires announces, “I’m about to get fucked in every single hole by these five black studs.” A bold and confident performer, Fires takes the guys on mostly two at a time in elaborate poses, including some double penetration. At the end, pasted by pop shots from Rico Strong, Jon Jon, Nat Turnher, Isiah Maxwell and Ricky Johnson, she barks, “I need some more. Please give it to me.” Three of them oblige with an extra pop.

Asked in the BTS why she waited so long to do IR, Fires confesses, “I was intimidated. I mean, big. Big dicks.” And she also explained why she chose Prince Yahshua for her first time. “He really looks at the female in his scenes,” she said. “Then I met him and I thought, he’s the one.” Judging by her comment after the scene—“I came so hard I almost had an out-of-body experience”—it seems she made the right choice.
