- Two months later -241Please respect copyright.PENANAkrM2nnt56i
241Please respect copyright.PENANAqSxWl3QuBO
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAtfmnrrfqgs
241Please respect copyright.PENANASM3fZ0x7vr
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.241Please respect copyright.PENANAXnQZEWnqQT
241Please respect copyright.PENANAmemFBSs4cI
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."241Please respect copyright.PENANAMo1x2LnW35
241Please respect copyright.PENANAuCFPGmGsss
"I'm suprised his..."241Please respect copyright.PENANAS9CmjNHDzK
241Please respect copyright.PENANAbqWlgT0hjv
"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."241Please respect copyright.PENANAiEInl9HfQK
241Please respect copyright.PENANAfHk2n7qoWZ
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAh1LBdF8nH5
241Please respect copyright.PENANAkN520HOoOY
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAyqGs5IAcZn
241Please respect copyright.PENANAQTZKMzqANk
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.241Please respect copyright.PENANASCIvJ4Xx2N
241Please respect copyright.PENANAHhQmGrlY4U
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAkNro1HgLMK
241Please respect copyright.PENANAnwz9zztKfU
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"241Please respect copyright.PENANApvYVcGGLf7
241Please respect copyright.PENANAehUyHHi63x
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.241Please respect copyright.PENANAG8361U04aU
241Please respect copyright.PENANA2MyWWDt4WX
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA6VjtGY9Ddx
241Please respect copyright.PENANAXTh9C6Dv20
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAL5UH86qvGs
241Please respect copyright.PENANAEwLK6MVURE
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAueBXKCs7r1
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYkVqtABLD0
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."241Please respect copyright.PENANAOy1t3PbXib
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwLU6Iu7Ugz
"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." 241Please respect copyright.PENANA9fQc9M6CcS
241Please respect copyright.PENANAnQAgGPpK9j
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAOpynajzPC1
241Please respect copyright.PENANAeu4oYUO2zL
They barely interact socially."241Please respect copyright.PENANAwHv1E1xM3J
241Please respect copyright.PENANAZNO6PNrwGI
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAG6h2JET42z
241Please respect copyright.PENANAw6o2U1ySgN
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.241Please respect copyright.PENANAms35VdroTu
241Please respect copyright.PENANA99zABNq4eV
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.241Please respect copyright.PENANAfVZZbcQ9X2
241Please respect copyright.PENANARdxhCbkQRs
"Uh..."241Please respect copyright.PENANAW5XJJ9v8WP
241Please respect copyright.PENANAagktKwZOF5
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"241Please respect copyright.PENANAxhCopTxo1Q
241Please respect copyright.PENANADV4ouhY0Nm
"Ester, I'm sorry-"241Please respect copyright.PENANAwvvkHRFCY9
241Please respect copyright.PENANA6xd0gCClJ4
"Don't you Ester me!"241Please respect copyright.PENANA9H8yza0CHW
241Please respect copyright.PENANAitUYpumSPE
"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-" 241Please respect copyright.PENANANmhRWDihHP
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYUey7AJQSv
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAeT8m212Clu
241Please respect copyright.PENANAejV1kdgUog
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.241Please respect copyright.PENANAzvxa0WZEpX
241Please respect copyright.PENANAo4H56GCP1Z
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.241Please respect copyright.PENANAOQltsPIPfW
241Please respect copyright.PENANAtkgJ7MsX3i
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.241Please respect copyright.PENANAfEikUwk54L
241Please respect copyright.PENANAfEks13bvcp
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.241Please respect copyright.PENANAeOxc000Ocp
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAU3IEWJYL4f
241Please respect copyright.PENANAOPuId8CjpZ
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.241Please respect copyright.PENANAssuoGRLD6S
241Please respect copyright.PENANAMT6cAbO6Pe
"You don't remember us talking and-" 241Please respect copyright.PENANAUoyJIqOw49
241Please respect copyright.PENANAn95yiW4LS0
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"241Please respect copyright.PENANAQANcbfQWsB
241Please respect copyright.PENANAKdSocL72R6
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA9QzOVpdf1c
241Please respect copyright.PENANAkwlGRrHFe1
"Woah!"241Please respect copyright.PENANAOcopBex2St
241Please respect copyright.PENANAqJxwbmNvPQ
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAPUAx6DVn1y
241Please respect copyright.PENANAIuJ2bqyBzh
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.241Please respect copyright.PENANAVEKd4PPtz5
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAN2WZM9k06b
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFLFTruY6X7
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.241Please respect copyright.PENANAqvKK08w3bS
241Please respect copyright.PENANAD4HjY7gvHX
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAaf324IOBlB
241Please respect copyright.PENANAko6kfeGTEW
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANApJSgXJwDna
241Please respect copyright.PENANAgGn1VSbEJt
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAEgNcCwLwM5
241Please respect copyright.PENANA4K096VEcBD
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAkw7qFiPfnP
241Please respect copyright.PENANAGAh0UZ8UNI
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAvXEh76VX2S
241Please respect copyright.PENANAUcYmzHRQdT
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."241Please respect copyright.PENANAWKWSSxqFxK
241Please respect copyright.PENANAngh5MeCdmD
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAJm2dhfKB3L
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzu3Ud2O416
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAPtSmxekweW
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYIfyCZw4rW
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAVLFGmeg9d3
241Please respect copyright.PENANAuVfAFEHstF
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA6Y2zG6cJs7
241Please respect copyright.PENANAmtzG5dsl9l
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAzbOkRCD34e
241Please respect copyright.PENANA6Nwu5YX7L3
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAxtOkCCEbJl
241Please respect copyright.PENANAUouoNUvlg0
"Good."241Please respect copyright.PENANASL72O2gFZz
241Please respect copyright.PENANAmEmTxdhkYY
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 241Please respect copyright.PENANApPRx6a2J2s
241Please respect copyright.PENANALDlNcdJbqL
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAaK63cVWFPe
241Please respect copyright.PENANA3sX9fEpRzX
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 241Please respect copyright.PENANApEh4um67AU
241Please respect copyright.PENANARJn90xiNJ3
"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..."241Please respect copyright.PENANARC3ql0TK6i
241Please respect copyright.PENANAyEza8ohOHM
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."241Please respect copyright.PENANAgpZ6rXO7S1
241Please respect copyright.PENANAeY0sqp7leJ
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."241Please respect copyright.PENANALIpw7F7MUG
241Please respect copyright.PENANAeKPBxUaFbM
"Okay. Y-yeah..."241Please respect copyright.PENANAabqqrJdhTR
241Please respect copyright.PENANARyNFiWt7bN
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 241Please respect copyright.PENANAOKwc30cybB
241Please respect copyright.PENANA6vlx9FqNND
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.241Please respect copyright.PENANAFTdhrUuEP5

(Three and half years later)241Please respect copyright.PENANAhcQuODh2uR
241Please respect copyright.PENANA9XZGRFXPoi
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAMNXfxzGGlI
241Please respect copyright.PENANAJXiIhuYHLo
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAm35OvK3Oe1
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzbUluPzgbl
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.241Please respect copyright.PENANAqvn0SzqsQM
241Please respect copyright.PENANAHNQoNKs9Ov
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAzQJWJoo2I2
241Please respect copyright.PENANAyawEvIxcee
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.241Please respect copyright.PENANAokeFBt9KrJ
241Please respect copyright.PENANAu4JIRN2Hhb
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."241Please respect copyright.PENANALuyyGGwwyJ
241Please respect copyright.PENANA7mkAO20nmc
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAIawv278vqp
241Please respect copyright.PENANAifoNlrjYtO
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAdTnINrwVm3
241Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2V1c4Elw3
"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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAkFRTaYpKfD
241Please respect copyright.PENANABn3Iecl8B3
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.241Please respect copyright.PENANA0pHTh2RLFv
241Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1W4TY88tk
"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."241Please respect copyright.PENANA5OqYWp2iQV
241Please respect copyright.PENANATOtEvDY02z
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.241Please respect copyright.PENANA4NuGlI14s1
241Please respect copyright.PENANA5Il0Kpd9io
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA2xvSz8Yxex
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFngN73QHr4
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAEGDhqhBqor
241Please respect copyright.PENANA3FPHZBGjnq
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.241Please respect copyright.PENANAtq70ExkTvj
241Please respect copyright.PENANATN6Gf71JyH
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 241Please respect copyright.PENANAPVMZ9F399O
241Please respect copyright.PENANAdjRoyXyLIV
"Uh, fine I guess."241Please respect copyright.PENANAruTjYBR4UU
241Please respect copyright.PENANA5gUYY7sRNR
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"241Please respect copyright.PENANA3VdxTdZWNH
241Please respect copyright.PENANA3LDIk4Bb37
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAJSefarEd6c
241Please respect copyright.PENANAEH1yUQEkCd
"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?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAe16WZk6Lpy
241Please respect copyright.PENANAFmBG7ySSoH
"Yes, Sir."241Please respect copyright.PENANAhT0gYFvhHI
241Please respect copyright.PENANAuDSftXakB7
"Your meds." 241Please respect copyright.PENANA6MtQ0intBb
241Please respect copyright.PENANA8arCHsQNJS
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.241Please respect copyright.PENANAWiMiEZyqCB
241Please respect copyright.PENANAhNQqP6jhp0
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."241Please respect copyright.PENANACwiYZXDXzr
241Please respect copyright.PENANAgLCB4OHG7l
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.241Please respect copyright.PENANAe5KFW0mEqu
241Please respect copyright.PENANAr5KiI3g3J0
"Better now that you all are here."241Please respect copyright.PENANACRcRIf8QCG
241Please respect copyright.PENANAJMkKhQD4Ih
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAMQsbt587gN
241Please respect copyright.PENANAd3JYzcsJMr
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA2jwD3Tcq4n
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzPKHImEh3l
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.241Please respect copyright.PENANAVlBABJzUn7
241Please respect copyright.PENANALv64KmUj7l
"Do I have to take them?"241Please respect copyright.PENANA2GX2KStaKQ
241Please respect copyright.PENANAAFdqZW52Zd
"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?"241Please respect copyright.PENANAJj0dgpWs89
241Please respect copyright.PENANAqk9ZsSzcke
"Yeah."241Please respect copyright.PENANAHIpPdpWO0l
241Please respect copyright.PENANACHWQ3Rc8Nm
"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."241Please respect copyright.PENANA7PjoXqpwxj
241Please respect copyright.PENANAzQgnGHe2AW
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"241Please respect copyright.PENANAPTOGGyosc5
241Please respect copyright.PENANAyQygF8zLbB
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAlZP9sO0M8X
241Please respect copyright.PENANAM8BFVhpcfF
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAfp0JdYIJ00
241Please respect copyright.PENANAih2ZQQ9D1L
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANA5ai6MA7HEN
241Please respect copyright.PENANAWWJ2PHBIIA
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANArauIEDRMLn
241Please respect copyright.PENANAyIueu8ngRe
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANArYHD0KUJzR
241Please respect copyright.PENANAopZDLQQOM3
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."241Please respect copyright.PENANAN1NGrNcRAW
241Please respect copyright.PENANAwmU5DkBkaq
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.241Please respect copyright.PENANA5t7BsCyh7e
241Please respect copyright.PENANAnyX8HhH7fp
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAsxDImqcDp8
241Please respect copyright.PENANALs9Q6lPAU3
"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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAIUWo0iIUva
241Please respect copyright.PENANAurOsCP5V1I
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAeCjWP9NgRG
241Please respect copyright.PENANAg4bGZmhlrU
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."241Please respect copyright.PENANAasv3fs0sGj
241Please respect copyright.PENANAYxGQTqYqca
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 241Please respect copyright.PENANAlXHu6dffRu
241Please respect copyright.PENANA0YFRL0t7x2
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 241Please respect copyright.PENANA6zAwLum7lf
241Please respect copyright.PENANAENtzmhjFmi
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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAIveHCpy9fD
241Please respect copyright.PENANArVKxtjflHz
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.241Please respect copyright.PENANAHbAGyEJm1J
241Please respect copyright.PENANA49G7FKuw0f
"We can't do that out in the open, I'm sorry. Some people might hurt you if they saw, jealous, thinking your getting special treatment."241Please respect copyright.PENANAzXQV5E8rq9

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. 241Please respect copyright.PENANAuY7a5NO4T4
