After five minutes of babble Luc Wylder sets Shayla LaVeaux's million-dollar body aflame via hand spanks and whips. Melodramatic music gives the scene an exaggerated cataclysmic edge. Soon Master Wylder is dripping red and black wax all over LaVeaux's torso and cunt. A few ice cubes provide momentary relief followed by more wax. "Oh my God," she says looking down at herself, "what a mess." By the end her mouth is sealed in black wax. Wylder is great at what he does and LaVeaux is an exceptional subject. You can see her transcend the pain, turning it into something personal and wide open. As Wylder cuts all the wax off with a huge buck knife, a trusting LaVeaux moans sweetly.

In keeping with the previous color scheme, scene two involves a submissive, black leathered Kelsey Heart (who has a heart-shaped bikini trim), and a dominant Alexandra Silk in red. heart looks exceptionally appealing wandering around the house on all fours, her butt whispering little songs to the world. At one point Wylder pulls Heart's hair, and for a second she looks genuinely unsettled.
