cancer’s clutches feel good – jasmine spritzer
jasmine’s smell is famously intoxicating… the thickness of it practically drips off of its petals when you walk by… it’s heavy, it’s moist, and it draws you in… encouraging you to shove that schnoz right up there to get a better whif… mission accomplished: just want cancer girl wanted…
like the evocative flower itself, cancer wants nothing more than to ensnare her mate. the sign of the homebody, the mother, and the always nurturing lover, she uses her seductive powers to lure her helpless victims in. they usually don’t know what hits em until it’s too late—they’re in love. for you see, cancer girl’s nest is so sublimely feathered, it would be a shame for her to sit in it all alone.
