172Please respect copyright.PENANAGLm1XNR4C7
Bethany lays on Grayson's chest in his arms as he rests his eyes, her doing the same in his shared apartment where Ester, Mikey and Solayo reside. Sitting not far from Bethany and Grayson is an empty cheese, chocolate and fruit platter and an elequoant empty bottle, two glasses.172Please respect copyright.PENANApkWVazWQCC
172Please respect copyright.PENANAmWWSgTyQk3
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.172Please respect copyright.PENANARmb6yIsHn4
172Please respect copyright.PENANAUa3Bjj6ipu
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."172Please respect copyright.PENANArJhSswD9xB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFPEkFVycmu
"I'm suprised his..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAHzu8x5zpsd
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGxhuzTpLQc
"He just doesn't wanna stay down there miserable that bastard. His doing this for himself rather than for the benfit of everyone in this community, to get time outside."172Please respect copyright.PENANAdYBGWrSTSU
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2B72mLyRHX
"Well, it's not really time outside. He doesn't get to go out onto the farm or anything. It's still the lower floors in the minus." Estes speaks up.172Please respect copyright.PENANAnqDMNwrbbH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAjLHJXTxp9j
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAEA1LpxvGja
172Please respect copyright.PENANAJvoGfaDgqT
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.172Please respect copyright.PENANAt1pr2wyfid
172Please respect copyright.PENANARMkJuSGvp4
"As long as it takes all of them. One doesn't get to leave, they all have to be ready. The chaos that would ensue if each one isn't ready and able to cope- What are you doing, Grayson?" Solayo speaks up, eyes annoyed when he sees Beth, the food and the booze.172Please respect copyright.PENANANfJXn99xLs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAvPbfYRcRMm
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"172Please respect copyright.PENANARnfqYRNNBT
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2APwRI7qaW
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.172Please respect copyright.PENANA7qEq0Yxms6
172Please respect copyright.PENANAVaHZvYfQiS
"Shut up both of you. Grayson, please get your boxers on and yes or no, answer me honestly. Are you fooling around or do you like her? Because we have spent the last two months getting the ones who came back on meds as well, and this could disrupt her regime.172Please respect copyright.PENANAs8GRs8kqDJ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAVqe4qYTKHF
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"172Please respect copyright.PENANA0dJVVpkVNp
172Please respect copyright.PENANAyFlPJAYPS5
"She won't freak out. Merge erases their backstory, but not your consciousness. She wanted to- what her and me did, we both wanted this.172Please respect copyright.PENANAlnduEzhNUY
172Please respect copyright.PENANA5Xa9YMxgMI
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."172Please respect copyright.PENANAn1BdyqwIJ6
172Please respect copyright.PENANA83cxJax7V3
"Yeah, I'm pretty sure if Slate knew, he'd have something to say about that-" But Mikey doesn't get to finish, Solayo backhanding him behind the ear. "I'm sorry, Solayo." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAiVJC71VJJ2
172Please respect copyright.PENANAB6Fyd4H5yq
"He wouldn't, neither him or her barely remember eachother. She forgot how she came here, and now she forgot being here and escaping and it's the same for him." Solayo hisses. "As far as those two are concerned, the other is just a stranger who resides on the same floor as and they don't know how they got here except the false story I told them, they came at diffrent times.172Please respect copyright.PENANAl8oKZstsyT
172Please respect copyright.PENANAkRreoCsepi
They barely interact socially."172Please respect copyright.PENANAJaPOe7Md7o
172Please respect copyright.PENANAvYjxI8Riox
"Gray, for fuck sake. Just pick up your pants." Ester says annoyed. "Hey, baby. I'm sorry, I'm just goanna move for a second." Grayson tells Beth gently, moving her head off his lap, pulling the bed sheet around him while he grabs his pants.172Please respect copyright.PENANAdRPF2ERczS
172Please respect copyright.PENANApIMjIZTyiR
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.172Please respect copyright.PENANAMkw7N9ufPM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAm9VQ7DARJz
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.172Please respect copyright.PENANAAUqWBhr6Ph
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2U8SyIoVg
"Uh..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAUlhViOmn5C
172Please respect copyright.PENANA33QGbb0Ulu
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"172Please respect copyright.PENANAwXe4C6L5z8
172Please respect copyright.PENANAXDtnBoD8cR
"Ester, I'm sorry-"172Please respect copyright.PENANA93pSfKXBqC
172Please respect copyright.PENANA19Hprtzfo3
"Don't you Ester me!"172Please respect copyright.PENANAN57CnT9w3o
172Please respect copyright.PENANAjxj44GJxs1
"Listen to her." Solayo snarls. "Now, I'm going to go set the table now for dinner. Get Beth dressed again and take her backdownstairs-" 172Please respect copyright.PENANAz43hQgb8Ng
172Please respect copyright.PENANATppk0C5Ie1
When there is a squeal, Beth diving for the small cheese knife. It's on the blunt side, but it's the only weapon in sight.172Please respect copyright.PENANAQt09BEOaGi
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEjUyXKz4tK
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.172Please respect copyright.PENANAgtPcdBBfyf
172Please respect copyright.PENANA5xX381tERN
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.172Please respect copyright.PENANAXusoHJQr0d
172Please respect copyright.PENANAuSL4FdMKl6
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.172Please respect copyright.PENANAlq1jnnMVjj
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGWKY4B96Ed
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.172Please respect copyright.PENANAXCOllmfsLK
"We don't care, her meds are the problem! The open alochol there, the endorphines from- I'm not going to finish that last part!" Ester yells back.172Please respect copyright.PENANAEBVD5XJw1Y
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGeBjZWPoT6
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.172Please respect copyright.PENANA2MM4w3iTWJ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAeBPiKfI8XV
"You don't remember us talking and-" 172Please respect copyright.PENANAzeNlO5sAhE
172Please respect copyright.PENANAt3w7l8NDqg
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"172Please respect copyright.PENANA5HiHMWWHUt
172Please respect copyright.PENANAl7qzBM6nls
"Beth, I know you're scared. But I need you to hand over the knife. Can you do that? Hand it to me?" Mikey coaxes, gently sliding towards Bethany, gesturing with his hand when she aims it at him, threatening him too.172Please respect copyright.PENANAKC6qA7Chbs
172Please respect copyright.PENANAMxpn0aLFnb
"Woah!"172Please respect copyright.PENANAAILR5N34CT
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqVZhDXFo79
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAIoEyslD9FK
172Please respect copyright.PENANAfAkHcVw4YV
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.172Please respect copyright.PENANAhQjOJSEleU
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAa23RytsO5l
172Please respect copyright.PENANAbJNtnZ5mxD
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.172Please respect copyright.PENANAotZa3fDhvM
172Please respect copyright.PENANA5UrAu5wNuI
When Beth's dressed, Ester has her sit and Mikey comes back over to them while Grayson hangs back a short distance. Solayo comes back over.172Please respect copyright.PENANAbI9bxuInbV
172Please respect copyright.PENANAWrpGknpQNC
"Now, Beth. This won't hurt much, just a small prick-" But she dives away, Mikey grabbing her by the foot and pulling her back. "No, you don't!" He yells. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAlOrTmc4VxA
172Please respect copyright.PENANAlwzUvwWVp0
"Let go of me!" Beth yells at him, Ester stepping away as Solayo takes her other arm, assisting and presses down with the needle. "No, no! Ah-" She cries, starting to cry. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAFg1AaVSF7N
172Please respect copyright.PENANACh6bSPN6Zh
He and Mikey roughly pick her up and move her from Grayson's bed to Ester, on account hers as restraints attached already... they secure them.172Please respect copyright.PENANAZyjexpfiBc
172Please respect copyright.PENANAavbnIVagLk
Ester sitting beside Mikey on his bed as they have dinner, Grayson on his own and Solayo on his own. They're almost finished when Beth wakes up a bit. Solayo quickly places his plate aside, hops down to Beth's level gently brushing her hair aside and keeps brushing her forehead.172Please respect copyright.PENANA98EQmcxL2G
172Please respect copyright.PENANAb1duOYVzKD
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."172Please respect copyright.PENANA4ebfPrRevf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGjrCYCpL0d
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAMsmrRV5WxN
172Please respect copyright.PENANAfwZcPYJ6OU
She nods weakly, struggling to keep her eyes open. "Okay, let's go there then." and he undoes the straps, lifting her up in his arms. "Mikey, with me. You both, stay here." He says annoyed as he leaves their apartment with Beth, Mikey following.172Please respect copyright.PENANAHU9Gi6PQyX
172Please respect copyright.PENANAyNac4nVgSd
Outside, he gives Mikey his pass and have him swipe the door rendering Ester and Grayson's pass useless, then gives it back to Solayo who snatches it and continues off towards the elevator. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAL4K8j0pV6S
172Please respect copyright.PENANAK57F1HIdOQ
When they head to floor 13, the rest of our group is dressed and ready for bed having had dinner when they see Solayo and Mikey with bed.172Please respect copyright.PENANA6KVRs7EJT5
172Please respect copyright.PENANAtLRews1png
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 172Please respect copyright.PENANArfcoLs4m7o
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAFwbX2W80n
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAqUPizUbPHM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAniJiTHJdIJ
"Good."172Please respect copyright.PENANACCSrr1cWrq
172Please respect copyright.PENANADkDFSGXlAb
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAbZJjYaqcQM
172Please respect copyright.PENANAA4mzYS8Eha
And Slate heads into his room, Mikey locking it behind him. He then ushers Cloud, Lyla and Gideo into their respective rooms. Paisley is already in bed, hardly leaves hers. "Night, Paisley. Sweet dreams..." Mikey trails off awkwardly, locking it.172Please respect copyright.PENANA7WbqZBg1ID
172Please respect copyright.PENANA2hIksFSEs9
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAdTzQYK5OzU
172Please respect copyright.PENANAV4GPVt4NCF
"Nah, we don't need em. She's calmer and we'll just sleep this off. Plus she ate anyway even if it wasn't dinner..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAZvQlAexVli
172Please respect copyright.PENANAftlgNdfp2l
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."172Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ4WdmfTFf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAebc4Jjmn7n
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."172Please respect copyright.PENANACcvGQV1m5u
172Please respect copyright.PENANA8TSVQAAmkJ
"Okay. Y-yeah..."172Please respect copyright.PENANACBusjrMQ0v
172Please respect copyright.PENANAqsn2Gli35U
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAc6OwiOYPxk
172Please respect copyright.PENANAwJlIHxmZsJ
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.172Please respect copyright.PENANAwwgYctNAz3

(Three and half years later)172Please respect copyright.PENANAbtVc0DKnSV
172Please respect copyright.PENANAHFrsBPoxXK
Our group now around 24-25 not that they know it are all getting out today, three years and a half is a long time, but they hardly recall over half their time. Working towards this part of their rehabilation was difficult when the real truth is it was never about redemption, it was just cruel punishment before it even began and after constant drugging, it's a concept they can't comprehend.172Please respect copyright.PENANA7SRpAnDtWn
172Please respect copyright.PENANAeH346PMC3x
Bethany's lying beside Gideon, head resting on shoulder as he sits on the floor, bouncing a plastic handball against the wall, coming right back to him.172Please respect copyright.PENANAsDqXtCgJGm
172Please respect copyright.PENANAayitb8JpiU
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.172Please respect copyright.PENANAMPJmni3rew
172Please respect copyright.PENANAN8KCyA2YRc
"Morning all." Cloud speaks up, coming out of his room. He recieves a few half hearted replies. With the group fairly unresponsive, he checks in on Lyla and Paisley, waking both girls. They each come out of their room.172Please respect copyright.PENANA9cKXIVuhpe
172Please respect copyright.PENANAq3F7uB2UgN
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.172Please respect copyright.PENANAxdIVNxLe1a
172Please respect copyright.PENANA6ikput6ZA7
It seems we are actually getting out today so if you all could collect up what you have here that would be great, and it's also my understanding when we process out, there is some additional stuff we're to collect that we couldn't have due to safety."172Please respect copyright.PENANACi5phWWs9j
172Please respect copyright.PENANA1LHGa8JVbu
"Safety?" Slate whispers. "Uh, I think you drew occasionally? I'm not sure, but I guess they didn't want you stabbing yourself, them or us with them.
Like the tip." Cloud answers awkwardly.172Please respect copyright.PENANA1E8TVZInvW
172Please respect copyright.PENANALvu87UCO0p
Unlike the others, he knows the Tomorrow Party and is good at faking it for the long haul. The amount of time he cheeked the unesscary drugs, disposed of them and never got caught. Three years though down here was a long time when you are aware and awake for it all.172Please respect copyright.PENANA771rA8MvwJ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAd2KpK26DGS
"So, that's it for the morning announcements. Breakfast is coming I believe and medication." He finishes, the door at the end of the corridor opening right on time. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAS1YrnZsS2f
172Please respect copyright.PENANA8dyFznPVUj
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.172Please respect copyright.PENANAstgoBpwVLe
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4g0x19JUHc
"Good, good. So eveyone, breakfast, then meds and grab your stuff please and then we are going to process you out into the population. You have stuff to collect you couldn't have down here, we trust you to hold them and behave appopritely."172Please respect copyright.PENANA5hu40iYiKE
172Please respect copyright.PENANA1ABATXP3Id
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.172Please respect copyright.PENANA8893hWipvB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAeT1Jje6D8h
While they all eat, the leaders prepare their meds. "How you doing?" Solayo smiles, bending down to Paisley even though it's no longer Paisley, a topic that has not been discussed. The girl she is now knows, but rarely talks because what is she meant to say? Lyla and her know they are twins as they look the same, but each feel nothing emotionally.172Please respect copyright.PENANARn3UOsEmhR
172Please respect copyright.PENANAbxPgobxwM1
He holds out her med cup for her to take which contains the least amount of medication than everybody else. Inside is just one single tablet. She gulps it down, followed by a cup of water.172Please respect copyright.PENANA87KPQ4v5Kz
172Please respect copyright.PENANA96mL6uFnud
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.172Please respect copyright.PENANA0l9kGzzbfw
172Please respect copyright.PENANAAGTQh7rADY
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 172Please respect copyright.PENANAvdrHkxd9BO
172Please respect copyright.PENANAQKToPU3hnS
"Uh, fine I guess."172Please respect copyright.PENANA4ENXZKiG9i
172Please respect copyright.PENANAASbV0z9sMj
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"172Please respect copyright.PENANApNWtcQEdhO
172Please respect copyright.PENANAFUaRl915S6
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAW6jHt1Abxy
172Please respect copyright.PENANATeHT1h5oWX
"There will be, I don't want you and others to be bored and sitting down here really doesn't feel all that productive, yeah?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAsz7vsiTmpu
172Please respect copyright.PENANA8vI0UwNcjU
"Yes, Sir."172Please respect copyright.PENANAID3jLQ75IZ
172Please respect copyright.PENANAlagZLVFAIH
"Your meds." 172Please respect copyright.PENANAZH1N5nCDdO
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGRRAsMP8fW
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.172Please respect copyright.PENANABSCDChHpro
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPKdzB7J9m4
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."172Please respect copyright.PENANAfMUmvmutS1
172Please respect copyright.PENANA61Cu7q5DBU
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.172Please respect copyright.PENANA7LnPIBPcGV
172Please respect copyright.PENANAipme4tfQE0
"Better now that you all are here."172Please respect copyright.PENANA9c9KzpOmU0
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEyERAs2O5q
"You like our visits, good, good." Is Solayo's response. Despite the drugs, Beth's mood and fractured time eventally settled a bit for her to be able to go out with Grayson a bit. There was times they all got to leave for medical appointments and stuff, but she got to leave for other things sometime.172Please respect copyright.PENANAmKG7kXRcWL
172Please respect copyright.PENANAZlBrclDOjz
Only small though, sitting with Grayson on his lunchbreak even if it was only in the leaders apartment. No matter what it was, she looked forward to those far and few between events.172Please respect copyright.PENANAzRrERHb3gx
172Please respect copyright.PENANAxre1foi9bL
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.172Please respect copyright.PENANAs0Xmk9BZ5g
172Please respect copyright.PENANA7wZR3QEIVK
"Do I have to take them?"172Please respect copyright.PENANApSzSslqR52
172Please respect copyright.PENANAXJlfinkWKf
"You do, we've been over this. You know how we explained to you before that your mood was quite, well, it changed rapidly through out the day?"172Please respect copyright.PENANAUmp3L5kyhH
172Please respect copyright.PENANA06yKR8fxvN
"Yeah."172Please respect copyright.PENANACLuHEeujAm
172Please respect copyright.PENANA65U5xs4Ya9
"That's why, and sometimes you posed a threat to yourself, saw things and had seizures. We didn't want you to get hurt so that is why you take these meds so that doesn't happen again ever."172Please respect copyright.PENANAIrrT4dvwTO
172Please respect copyright.PENANAkGbEfYPi5n
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"172Please respect copyright.PENANAqq8LHfZJ7T
172Please respect copyright.PENANAh48iFawgVQ
"If you're not ready to leave and your companions can't leave either-" He begins. "No, no. I'll take them. I'm sorry, Sir." She panics, downing them.172Please respect copyright.PENANAf5qJruSior
172Please respect copyright.PENANAgqz9KSMVai
He checks her mouth seeing it's clear. "There we go, wasn't so hard." And stands. Once this is all over with, everyone collects the few clothes and items they have down here, the leaders leading them all to the elevator.172Please respect copyright.PENANABfhFnf6QMB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAs5M5uXbTqd
They enter, no one handcuffed as opposed to when they first came down here. "So, as we have discussed before, it's all going to be very overwhelming, there will be alot of people.172Please respect copyright.PENANAmJS2qsZuNH
172Please respect copyright.PENANAdaWgGEZhw7
We'll show you your rooms, take today to familarize yourself with everything. The day begins at 6:30 for you all and ends at 7 p.m. Lights out are at 9 and no one is allowed in the hall outside that time.172Please respect copyright.PENANAcFMR4ZMhKJ
172Please respect copyright.PENANACu3kvGZf58
Security will be patrolling the halls. The only reasonable excuse to leave is the bathroom or an emergency like a medical emergency or an alarm goes off signalling evacuation.172Please respect copyright.PENANA9HQlCqGSFp
172Please respect copyright.PENANAliOwpYcMiF
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."172Please respect copyright.PENANArsK3pKbvIA
172Please respect copyright.PENANA5GYXN6osaK
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.172Please respect copyright.PENANA8TuWjp7hgf
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPRhreh2Gsr
The elevator reaches the main floor and they step out, all in awe as they walk along the bridge seeing the farm outside and sunlight streaming in from above.172Please respect copyright.PENANANZCQd1bClw
172Please respect copyright.PENANAEhEhdZiI7v
"This is amazing." Gideon says, mouth open as they walk. They get a general tour. Cafeteria, shower and so on, are given their old tags with their first name on them and their keycards showing their access level. They are lead down a corridor that's a little more private and away from noise.172Please respect copyright.PENANArwxvqudWRB
172Please respect copyright.PENANAPwbh4kndpN
Two doors. "On the left here will be the boys dormitory. Gideon, Cloud and Zekey. Ya'll have a dog you forgot about. His in our apartment so Mikey will be going back to collect him. You take good care of Zekey.172Please respect copyright.PENANAYe7YHXirNG
172Please respect copyright.PENANA4dHnbJajbl
Girls, you're all in the right room." And he opens both for our pair to split up and enter, looking around. "You want to go collect the stupid dog? I'm tired of it peeing around the place."172Please respect copyright.PENANAR56dXavD2V
172Please respect copyright.PENANAYAt4rXvfaO
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 172Please respect copyright.PENANAPlo6AZwuMh
172Please respect copyright.PENANA3140m270av
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 172Please respect copyright.PENANA97jf3BCG6i
172Please respect copyright.PENANAGA7vxqbZ1e
Ester goes with him to accompany him, Solayo leaves with Cloud to show him his room, a seperate private room all to his self and Grayson remains behind, gesturing for Bethany to come out and see him. 172Please respect copyright.PENANA77qoMFTM0z
172Please respect copyright.PENANAUi9jx0z3N9
She slips out while Lyla and Paisley are distracted putting their stuff away. "Hey you." She smiles, pushing Grayson against the wall, hands feeling his toned chest and starts kissing the side of his face, trailing down his neck. "Wow, okay. Thank you, that's nice." He blushes, pushing her away.172Please respect copyright.PENANANYxeRSoSuM

You can ask her if she wants you to stick your dick inside her, but while she's taking so many meds? No. Just because she's saying yes, doesn't make it okay. 172Please respect copyright.PENANAwgbQEhSQhk
