174Please respect copyright.PENANAKycsPzHRIe
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAEyyeBaDJIc
174Please respect copyright.PENANAZ2tsYz7bcI
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.174Please respect copyright.PENANAODVlu1LvTS
174Please respect copyright.PENANA1fR7s70ZPx
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."174Please respect copyright.PENANANxVKtAlycU
174Please respect copyright.PENANALVlunvSQiy
"I'm suprised his..."174Please respect copyright.PENANAYlP61P9NUa
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgmJ8QngWVQ
"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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAI0GFXt3Swd
174Please respect copyright.PENANArHRA4XJRMF
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAfyhGbZsNVO
174Please respect copyright.PENANAidDzqTNz01
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 174Please respect copyright.PENANABe56ZHXvXu
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7AZkZSHjVC
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.174Please respect copyright.PENANAruwoSx5oYH
174Please respect copyright.PENANAfEcGngX2dR
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAsM7XpP8FXs
174Please respect copyright.PENANABVQycWHRGY
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"174Please respect copyright.PENANAoifMaOh1BH
174Please respect copyright.PENANAfMkGitdhA3
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.174Please respect copyright.PENANA3PA4jGbHmf
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgtxY1ptedF
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAQtvWEiu7M1
174Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZxtlgFIO1
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"174Please respect copyright.PENANA60hHHBfWkH
174Please respect copyright.PENANAplzAq9oDj3
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAT4g6AaGl3x
174Please respect copyright.PENANAKHWDdHPppv
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."174Please respect copyright.PENANAD4yJlwIMKa
174Please respect copyright.PENANAotw8mdpTZ9
"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." 174Please respect copyright.PENANAO2Q4K4fcZv
174Please respect copyright.PENANAHhwjYLQjuA
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAT3vNdRkfNk
174Please respect copyright.PENANAJC4N3AqALS
They barely interact socially."174Please respect copyright.PENANAY1SFYg1XUN
174Please respect copyright.PENANAIChebCFysK
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAeF2dJuHjJR
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgJGYsQgCav
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.174Please respect copyright.PENANAWRX4lh4yVb
174Please respect copyright.PENANAYN68fYLnXW
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.174Please respect copyright.PENANALSbxqvGvS6
174Please respect copyright.PENANAN9sjzLnJfH
"Uh..."174Please respect copyright.PENANAx1PBwtF30q
174Please respect copyright.PENANAzlKUv0UJ1K
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"174Please respect copyright.PENANAxmdTmi5nWF
174Please respect copyright.PENANApMkHlN93BS
"Ester, I'm sorry-"174Please respect copyright.PENANACuWGmqcRMc
174Please respect copyright.PENANAop4dVaYe1F
"Don't you Ester me!"174Please respect copyright.PENANAx1BL5ZsETz
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkJUqNC2jVv
"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-" 174Please respect copyright.PENANAA8I02Utjcc
174Please respect copyright.PENANAogfU2FLvMM
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAtNFlKfpEwq
174Please respect copyright.PENANAKeYcZgKhaX
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.174Please respect copyright.PENANAVF1Ows5DNs
174Please respect copyright.PENANARZDnk9Xekm
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.174Please respect copyright.PENANAt2bJtV7zXg
174Please respect copyright.PENANACDqc6Y3FkO
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.174Please respect copyright.PENANAQnF7elFZnw
174Please respect copyright.PENANAPRgea0xraQ
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.174Please respect copyright.PENANAZG9y2kOuIN
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAgkO1KrZIKK
174Please respect copyright.PENANArYXbWvsxTE
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.174Please respect copyright.PENANAWlNUaPUb3u
174Please respect copyright.PENANAC0qpQz22Nl
"You don't remember us talking and-" 174Please respect copyright.PENANA4aB0U2CbBX
174Please respect copyright.PENANAsIKWM7ISCK
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"174Please respect copyright.PENANAXOTmaUMENZ
174Please respect copyright.PENANALnDtMzKiVX
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAFJxGgN1j1j
174Please respect copyright.PENANACkGZ3iQ0CS
"Woah!"174Please respect copyright.PENANAkIoFcfooyi
174Please respect copyright.PENANA0jPERCogLo
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 174Please respect copyright.PENANAuMLLKbDSB5
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgLu7tMbsoE
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.174Please respect copyright.PENANAniIsHSA8jG
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"174Please respect copyright.PENANAIXdzg1mZOl
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7fpYGDtZh1
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.174Please respect copyright.PENANAnvXrWlsG4k
174Please respect copyright.PENANAQCXtlUYpZd
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAZGskBA7nX5
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkJt0eEKW6F
"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. 174Please respect copyright.PENANA4zH2R0Dvez
174Please respect copyright.PENANAZxW7eQ8X0J
"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. 174Please respect copyright.PENANALxkkZZvuEA
174Please respect copyright.PENANAYhB3nryjAj
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAOYBbKJncky
174Please respect copyright.PENANAjBgxVLMpJ9
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAcT61Y2FfIF
174Please respect copyright.PENANAuKcDVh8ICL
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."174Please respect copyright.PENANAVSm6A1ENX5
174Please respect copyright.PENANAhQC4e2N8fb
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"174Please respect copyright.PENANAGrsfUho8ZC
174Please respect copyright.PENANAqTgOSo8hh2
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAycDoCSqQpv
174Please respect copyright.PENANAiXOG0wuzJw
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. 174Please respect copyright.PENANAzFLnWUBZfZ
174Please respect copyright.PENANA8pEqwCu4MN
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAYJ8tUQEMr1
174Please respect copyright.PENANAiHr3MD85um
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 174Please respect copyright.PENANArE57bbY4Ed
174Please respect copyright.PENANAg28LbJhyNg
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"174Please respect copyright.PENANAmisnJ71yAY
174Please respect copyright.PENANA9HR7tlN2sw
"Good."174Please respect copyright.PENANAFLCrgnJOjM
174Please respect copyright.PENANA9lZGzkABI3
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 174Please respect copyright.PENANAYCJ1OikfRJ
174Please respect copyright.PENANAEIW1EXjIb2
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAkjeawQ5j8w
174Please respect copyright.PENANAEccRlH2ldW
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 174Please respect copyright.PENANAyYAh6OlMdS
174Please respect copyright.PENANAl5n81zX23x
"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..."174Please respect copyright.PENANACAoNgaIsfa
174Please respect copyright.PENANACB12hGSbDS
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."174Please respect copyright.PENANAp5sd9SaB22
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7zRUX9sJE8
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."174Please respect copyright.PENANAjeokV1Hym4
174Please respect copyright.PENANAb8mkeoiH83
"Okay. Y-yeah..."174Please respect copyright.PENANAwUBa9Sn2sB
174Please respect copyright.PENANAL5Bg0DrfVk
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 174Please respect copyright.PENANA8lcYs8xJuh
174Please respect copyright.PENANAY2W6XtAJVt
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.174Please respect copyright.PENANAPzoIRrokDb

(Three and half years later)174Please respect copyright.PENANAYQQJSKldvA
174Please respect copyright.PENANAPtPmY20u4z
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAvgwE97A1lK
174Please respect copyright.PENANAmC1XZLr2Ph
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAqjEoEN6Jou
174Please respect copyright.PENANA9brpwmMvva
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.174Please respect copyright.PENANAUvAm3vRJQV
174Please respect copyright.PENANAmooPfEZ035
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAhbBgiGSeB5
174Please respect copyright.PENANAQVWV629qpU
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.174Please respect copyright.PENANAdU7GGJHB82
174Please respect copyright.PENANAEDVd1725MV
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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAquXN6Dis70
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMScJqfw6hJ
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAAG1x2Ef8a8
174Please respect copyright.PENANA8yZp3i98Bc
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAn4bUATnQRh
174Please respect copyright.PENANARmp0QfE3i2
"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. 174Please respect copyright.PENANAMTGv0rVFsO
174Please respect copyright.PENANAk2yACznbvW
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.174Please respect copyright.PENANADHLbJQvoEa
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkoiFcqCqG9
"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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAAGTSqbJgAz
174Please respect copyright.PENANALQA5JlRVvW
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.174Please respect copyright.PENANAEAzAZIWi51
174Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0GYXmzZzR
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANACZ569NNJjj
174Please respect copyright.PENANAXvv6RH87Ox
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANApWFi9Il1ji
174Please respect copyright.PENANAVjXj1WQQbm
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.174Please respect copyright.PENANA47hss3HAoe
174Please respect copyright.PENANACLEb9Uvmmb
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 174Please respect copyright.PENANA7rIrszCnPl
174Please respect copyright.PENANATOdO69eA7L
"Uh, fine I guess."174Please respect copyright.PENANAZIA62CGySx
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkTEfbbZ8Bk
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"174Please respect copyright.PENANA3pqUeHam1d
174Please respect copyright.PENANAsCJL4TR17S
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"174Please respect copyright.PENANANmaDK7CnCx
174Please respect copyright.PENANABymj9kYuLw
"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?"174Please respect copyright.PENANA2mxYNiEDry
174Please respect copyright.PENANAzDuFPcQxxc
"Yes, Sir."174Please respect copyright.PENANAVq9OwHDG5L
174Please respect copyright.PENANAqPvj9MjWd3
"Your meds." 174Please respect copyright.PENANAQJ8rusSbyQ
174Please respect copyright.PENANA5Qo3Ul2zEX
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.174Please respect copyright.PENANA4IurQ7Jt8V
174Please respect copyright.PENANAzQIshzfMOw
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."174Please respect copyright.PENANAqKmV9sNDmu
174Please respect copyright.PENANA94TCaZS2oh
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.174Please respect copyright.PENANAqd14hrbvuR
174Please respect copyright.PENANANEDRzXY9Hx
"Better now that you all are here."174Please respect copyright.PENANAaxgwS9k1Y2
174Please respect copyright.PENANAGMHVMLwdmI
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAUWKhzT81OT
174Please respect copyright.PENANATVwMTCHeOJ
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAr0beN5WNC8
174Please respect copyright.PENANAuKWgugMxgP
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.174Please respect copyright.PENANAV36lrwDmDP
174Please respect copyright.PENANAyfeupkzz0R
"Do I have to take them?"174Please respect copyright.PENANACTBQXHuNsv
174Please respect copyright.PENANAYJagm1t0as
"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?"174Please respect copyright.PENANAbmi93SGlUE
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkoLmIfgBsn
"Yeah."174Please respect copyright.PENANAnGp5rTFzXk
174Please respect copyright.PENANA7bh4SSnUUi
"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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAejdOtXNBm2
174Please respect copyright.PENANAhU2iFZ3xF9
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"174Please respect copyright.PENANADHS1KUnUJG
174Please respect copyright.PENANAYLaSBCWiYP
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA4gZgET3l5l
174Please respect copyright.PENANAaKSBapFgeU
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA6bDTCQ9Ik6
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgFxLkOPQl2
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANANqhFlAbl8f
174Please respect copyright.PENANAkg8HLE2Wih
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAVwiKrI0BQb
174Please respect copyright.PENANAgJndM8ArqB
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANADB31GU75Rz
174Please respect copyright.PENANADhUepZXZnm
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."174Please respect copyright.PENANAxlcL5jQM5R
174Please respect copyright.PENANAJKnDGm0Zd4
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.174Please respect copyright.PENANAymYWOqgOWB
174Please respect copyright.PENANAAMFBsbB7nC
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAeEn1I8Vt7e
174Please respect copyright.PENANAPK3NeYzrJk
"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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAhyR2hpyokf
174Please respect copyright.PENANAMHhna3tHSw
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANA1Sf44R7Hj6
174Please respect copyright.PENANA4IrIo0j16X
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."174Please respect copyright.PENANAlGw03EoNHE
174Please respect copyright.PENANAcPRbclt9eB
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 174Please respect copyright.PENANAK4c4MkaJ2h
174Please respect copyright.PENANAWGPRhUMWGh
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 174Please respect copyright.PENANAfpTAMisiby
174Please respect copyright.PENANA5OkAt6uljS
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. 174Please respect copyright.PENANA9MljhCe5UT
174Please respect copyright.PENANAb3vgZIQRmU
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.174Please respect copyright.PENANAXLgG59h9SJ
