- Two months later -238Please respect copyright.PENANA7CVAeWTZSk
238Please respect copyright.PENANAKPFI8eZ3YD
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAIb2bu0tXR1
238Please respect copyright.PENANA8tzURqChkP
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.238Please respect copyright.PENANABGeZDYQWDj
238Please respect copyright.PENANAmJh8XLl543
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."238Please respect copyright.PENANAdX2ZsZ1J9S
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYYmVKxnGzl
"I'm suprised his..."238Please respect copyright.PENANAVDjgiZTGuk
238Please respect copyright.PENANAoYwMAkJ21t
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAzYwtbP5osS
238Please respect copyright.PENANAdHBZByPYh1
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAIJwJvG2NTi
238Please respect copyright.PENANAySmxWN8tvU
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAnlz4mAypqN
238Please respect copyright.PENANAcTAagJKryI
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.238Please respect copyright.PENANANv1S1WzjPX
238Please respect copyright.PENANAfIZuOfIsor
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANATgdjEVVjJD
238Please respect copyright.PENANAHJ78ytlYu8
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"238Please respect copyright.PENANAXrfAIK6zrT
238Please respect copyright.PENANAlMYNK8MNpA
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.238Please respect copyright.PENANA4XqcmQN5Tw
238Please respect copyright.PENANABn3Wax3ZoB
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAgnrlhrdmn0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAl0PqFHU2gB
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"238Please respect copyright.PENANALxwvFETlib
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvB7RDXSEIi
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAvbfj89EhCw
238Please respect copyright.PENANAyICnwhLexM
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."238Please respect copyright.PENANADsEdC32BhO
238Please respect copyright.PENANAwziJtTMzoa
"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." 238Please respect copyright.PENANAkawLFZnKYB
238Please respect copyright.PENANAFKIESjqV1O
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANANtUhunhZPb
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUMQgn7E2p3
They barely interact socially."238Please respect copyright.PENANAL6KojnU9If
238Please respect copyright.PENANAn3fD376te8
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAQexwaudJlb
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOHoGzEYk3V
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.238Please respect copyright.PENANA0Eu8Lk0oMc
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1O4h0NsDey
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.238Please respect copyright.PENANAqnppQ71xq8
238Please respect copyright.PENANAa92YWd1GRj
"Uh..."238Please respect copyright.PENANA2vVd6qopCb
238Please respect copyright.PENANAv7HxnY5flX
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"238Please respect copyright.PENANATW0W9E2E3C
238Please respect copyright.PENANA30drnzoQO7
"Ester, I'm sorry-"238Please respect copyright.PENANA6DOanFd7vZ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAcpL9b8z4V3
"Don't you Ester me!"238Please respect copyright.PENANAryhqk1bUqu
238Please respect copyright.PENANA5EgcO5q3of
"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-" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAA6wXT3jkiK
238Please respect copyright.PENANACdPzKzCGci
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAdliXoNHKQd
238Please respect copyright.PENANA5Gf78uF5mg
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.238Please respect copyright.PENANAqjtBkBXRf4
238Please respect copyright.PENANAsfp5KYF81H
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.238Please respect copyright.PENANAC4K2WPFvyX
238Please respect copyright.PENANA5KYX3OoZvN
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.238Please respect copyright.PENANAWxjXgWiKtq
238Please respect copyright.PENANAhob3p96gmR
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.238Please respect copyright.PENANAxmb2H7KU7g
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Q2e2K9OV
238Please respect copyright.PENANAh05I9aJxeB
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.238Please respect copyright.PENANAyo4QqEFfMv
238Please respect copyright.PENANA8hREscG9Jg
"You don't remember us talking and-" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAjJEN5d6aoU
238Please respect copyright.PENANAS9VG7BAvuI
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"238Please respect copyright.PENANAkGEBXPyGSO
238Please respect copyright.PENANAP38H7bcUUf
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAZPujDFl3Di
238Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7IeAqwXzm
"Woah!"238Please respect copyright.PENANA0PuIHfmgDu
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1wCShBWMuK
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAChvadIlqKm
238Please respect copyright.PENANAheja8RX50I
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.238Please respect copyright.PENANACX5mOo8L3d
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAY6Q5Xhd5vG
238Please respect copyright.PENANAZCBAcvSUPL
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.238Please respect copyright.PENANAqbWQ9VY7a2
238Please respect copyright.PENANAeAhRN71B6f
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANASsqcympLFC
238Please respect copyright.PENANAoO8z0JVQT5
"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. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAJKFeyIgmEQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANANgssOT6Tu3
"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. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAlEN6LFH6bZ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMm2yh25Smn
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANALLpm43KdjK
238Please respect copyright.PENANA3faJH5OkeD
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANABuAtHGdOjT
238Please respect copyright.PENANA0bQkRv1Iva
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."238Please respect copyright.PENANAcOLBofWQ2k
238Please respect copyright.PENANAyz6emszjsm
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"238Please respect copyright.PENANA9Hfj5lbOyS
238Please respect copyright.PENANAkJwTHCB67b
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAj9bY0Lz8Yc
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUq0cPHacPY
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. 238Please respect copyright.PENANA8OWLB0EUBb
238Please respect copyright.PENANAC2wuScoP0o
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAEqI7hNK6wk
238Please respect copyright.PENANAA9M5ADgx4Z
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 238Please respect copyright.PENANA4UmnZRp21B
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJJLTsYdFM1
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"238Please respect copyright.PENANACFUKYGi4bj
238Please respect copyright.PENANAASkkeun1Um
"Good."238Please respect copyright.PENANA7olntkbv9p
238Please respect copyright.PENANAKU6DtFo7bI
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 238Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8NAuhyFgU
238Please respect copyright.PENANAC0LBHehqMx
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAWfLJEaPQW3
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvNprPEqBeV
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAzMBPC2lKgU
238Please respect copyright.PENANANgRpTyWJJl
"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..."238Please respect copyright.PENANAaCtE5EXZjJ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAzIgc5yVkj8
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."238Please respect copyright.PENANASQ5D9phpww
238Please respect copyright.PENANA1ijRGeylc8
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."238Please respect copyright.PENANAKz4UNkkyXK
238Please respect copyright.PENANAznG16iK0ho
"Okay. Y-yeah..."238Please respect copyright.PENANArij2wVFgDT
238Please respect copyright.PENANABr1zwalf3E
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 238Please respect copyright.PENANAXfToGpAlFP
238Please respect copyright.PENANAsxsjOn3t5o
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.238Please respect copyright.PENANAjOY2RMbbYD

(Three and half years later)238Please respect copyright.PENANAiCKa1qvir6
238Please respect copyright.PENANA8PylHBrDVt
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA0cnXsBuAgy
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYcMl80OYuq
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAkX2wqM2sFy
238Please respect copyright.PENANAW8NzpPew6O
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.238Please respect copyright.PENANAbLNSLfz3uy
238Please respect copyright.PENANAk3ENpw47vK
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAMI4ftv8Ho0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAKje9KLWAPO
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.238Please respect copyright.PENANAvQ4exAI77Y
238Please respect copyright.PENANAQH9cTtCuDN
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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAbB0dchSbFr
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYfwXIBxJT7
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAnXxtondgoh
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvZxCPAdfAy
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAClEzFIMREa
238Please respect copyright.PENANApIzopXipLS
"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. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAHNzVDZSVAa
238Please respect copyright.PENANAH8vdW7ldKP
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.238Please respect copyright.PENANAImGuItkvTo
238Please respect copyright.PENANAnshSSRdBPk
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANATV2FRme2zt
238Please respect copyright.PENANAYTMiNKd0rA
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.238Please respect copyright.PENANA053LhDtzAf
238Please respect copyright.PENANAek0Y2eTQQ1
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAONFIWlDhtk
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXKTNiukyyK
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA3sRHZeoTdm
238Please respect copyright.PENANAe5F8CoNmSy
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.238Please respect copyright.PENANAqAJFFeZ3cD
238Please respect copyright.PENANAoAaFMMtMZS
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAHCwbQ5E9UF
238Please respect copyright.PENANARhGL06BczX
"Uh, fine I guess."238Please respect copyright.PENANAWOFruPb6wd
238Please respect copyright.PENANAkMQpdFbgXp
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"238Please respect copyright.PENANALl72WtZ0hf
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvwdcWYrBJI
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"238Please respect copyright.PENANA6qM6HyC1N3
238Please respect copyright.PENANAtkoolhXYQv
"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?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAOhvptQlV8i
238Please respect copyright.PENANA2QsoTInFzu
"Yes, Sir."238Please respect copyright.PENANAknqfclaOrx
238Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZykNCSuuX
"Your meds." 238Please respect copyright.PENANAYcVzoSUc4T
238Please respect copyright.PENANAz2sICXfNTN
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.238Please respect copyright.PENANAq3KbdNYIM4
238Please respect copyright.PENANAIfw5Igelx4
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."238Please respect copyright.PENANAxZb4lSZk4M
238Please respect copyright.PENANAqGkQliPMme
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.238Please respect copyright.PENANAqVAKsoJkqQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANAj0TRSrKIO9
"Better now that you all are here."238Please respect copyright.PENANAqlK6zp38rO
238Please respect copyright.PENANAd2axoGRdJt
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAQk0hQhqhl9
238Please respect copyright.PENANANlqip44SNY
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANATIsQ3lDkhE
238Please respect copyright.PENANAi6Fa0DEfrD
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.238Please respect copyright.PENANARMSrWlYZ6T
238Please respect copyright.PENANAUuNesN6dxR
"Do I have to take them?"238Please respect copyright.PENANANEbp2Bv8OF
238Please respect copyright.PENANA0Kk3kXYf0j
"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?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAqNpRnR4jP0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAOJIpdzMRFe
"Yeah."238Please respect copyright.PENANA9YrEkstDf0
238Please respect copyright.PENANAW0LhYLP55J
"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."238Please respect copyright.PENANAjUAVIlitBF
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXzOXTsk33i
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"238Please respect copyright.PENANAYUfaaDr1kf
238Please respect copyright.PENANAAeRAUVsuAl
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAOPSOQhbJp7
238Please respect copyright.PENANAkSlpsTS9gY
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAszMnjHQyn4
238Please respect copyright.PENANAK7iQHwtrzx
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAnF6o8OoXon
238Please respect copyright.PENANArxp6WdHlfL
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANA2oZSBjmaSQ
238Please respect copyright.PENANABhCQayLCoD
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAKG4T347x5o
238Please respect copyright.PENANABRoZMKd4Zq
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."238Please respect copyright.PENANAYoTbA32axu
238Please respect copyright.PENANAg0NM6SOABn
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.238Please respect copyright.PENANAOhSPwrd0vu
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJp6PoJZXcK
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANADmWz2EoXpw
238Please respect copyright.PENANAXmOFgRC2uW
"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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAwRQ8FnI9Xc
238Please respect copyright.PENANAPDkCT7DD6e
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAHcGKj2WQwf
238Please respect copyright.PENANAIZEj5uzm4f
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."238Please respect copyright.PENANArv2Lj89M5u
238Please respect copyright.PENANAJkKuzk872F
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 238Please respect copyright.PENANAfO69Ml65iK
238Please respect copyright.PENANApm0dwwPRMF
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 238Please respect copyright.PENANA1uzh50uJxa
238Please respect copyright.PENANAvVaRWWgKPo
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. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAjqBUjghjlI
238Please respect copyright.PENANAMaitxlMYw7
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.238Please respect copyright.PENANAryH3HtHA3m

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. 238Please respect copyright.PENANAttWXhnyXhC
