237Please respect copyright.PENANAXk52s9lw5u
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAgNLkMwQZLm
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4qsxhK22GH
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.237Please respect copyright.PENANASyxxdyKHoN
237Please respect copyright.PENANAio8mJvOz8Z
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."237Please respect copyright.PENANACzwkhuenk4
237Please respect copyright.PENANAVzjAmwi4qw
"I'm suprised his..."237Please respect copyright.PENANA7gLKQWWOQq
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsPsbyot36P
"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."237Please respect copyright.PENANAJHEE1EeDFF
237Please respect copyright.PENANAIYVr2WgBAT
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAeREmXljFkZ
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8LvoANFkaj
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAOR7Y1FNb9a
237Please respect copyright.PENANAh8747MIVa4
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.237Please respect copyright.PENANA1s04o1etNW
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsm7JikTzf6
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAZrT7P9NMqx
237Please respect copyright.PENANA0e7YgBM1IR
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"237Please respect copyright.PENANAE7Qon7Notp
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPN4tp7fDjQ
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.237Please respect copyright.PENANA50oCs5CkOj
237Please respect copyright.PENANABWmvovrVMB
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAPxIB2yLAZF
237Please respect copyright.PENANAdsb1wxBXUh
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"237Please respect copyright.PENANArrnWNEllU2
237Please respect copyright.PENANAMv0hDs1Zml
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAjGgUyTGWNd
237Please respect copyright.PENANAe85cJ1r5cG
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."237Please respect copyright.PENANAyjkXyJzoNQ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAOhAZxlwV3C
"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." 237Please respect copyright.PENANAwbV7cxTq5G
237Please respect copyright.PENANAJMTozDZ8LU
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAWumi5MbVsC
237Please respect copyright.PENANAYbxAweVX0f
They barely interact socially."237Please respect copyright.PENANAgDYDXve8xQ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAehvXUyUjoI
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANADWqYHnvuYE
237Please respect copyright.PENANAqftANstBHY
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.237Please respect copyright.PENANA8ahGg08E4x
237Please respect copyright.PENANAL2Z6PKOcTj
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.237Please respect copyright.PENANAhf4xwtiHYJ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAVO0j23RoWI
"Uh..."237Please respect copyright.PENANAl1ZcEwTe96
237Please respect copyright.PENANATfGylCtKZ6
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"237Please respect copyright.PENANAzdLQWSQTyo
237Please respect copyright.PENANAUpA6xtnvz3
"Ester, I'm sorry-"237Please respect copyright.PENANAM6pcnaB8Sy
237Please respect copyright.PENANAIM5tyO9Wsf
"Don't you Ester me!"237Please respect copyright.PENANA1350ABRWNm
237Please respect copyright.PENANAiMmFsv46Wq
"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-" 237Please respect copyright.PENANAAiGTrYR1d8
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3Zd9UGdM2G
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA06z5QMoewY
237Please respect copyright.PENANAn2Jhf2ExQL
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.237Please respect copyright.PENANAZAbUrFgq6M
237Please respect copyright.PENANAeNyqUZGqY2
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.237Please respect copyright.PENANA1tlgYnW3Oh
237Please respect copyright.PENANAnuj7WW1OlF
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.237Please respect copyright.PENANAVeu7f6kOEp
237Please respect copyright.PENANAelxBkLj3EC
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.237Please respect copyright.PENANABPDdMbqRHr
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAqTvGl3TeAG
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfR0OdzqNIE
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.237Please respect copyright.PENANAuhbMc4OAm7
237Please respect copyright.PENANAV3Ymq4Donw
"You don't remember us talking and-" 237Please respect copyright.PENANApXoxX17HLF
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPpzPwHmOma
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"237Please respect copyright.PENANA3zEN9RGgV4
237Please respect copyright.PENANALaFELjhVRK
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA2E73WCJJIr
237Please respect copyright.PENANAWkIoipf5pr
"Woah!"237Please respect copyright.PENANAHpjZDXeHwW
237Please respect copyright.PENANAUM0J4mk0v3
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAeJUYejVs7Q
237Please respect copyright.PENANAG8XdgYpm1t
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.237Please respect copyright.PENANA1AhN6ejcXt
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAeqedHvogCW
237Please respect copyright.PENANAVEzrFMg4cd
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.237Please respect copyright.PENANA8NxRkzJ4Tt
237Please respect copyright.PENANAe7wfQVkKW7
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAwuYnaijG90
237Please respect copyright.PENANALhdHKzuPiC
"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. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAgBYPei157O
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfV3Ycxav28
"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. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAVVy1GKKVGk
237Please respect copyright.PENANAb1o6qyUKi4
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA5qIGnsF4aJ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAIdngjAG2Vd
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANARZmz5sIwaI
237Please respect copyright.PENANAGRlKQxYMZN
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."237Please respect copyright.PENANAXiL7K7cpGQ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAHBjfM7K5BR
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAiST7YWmbvD
237Please respect copyright.PENANAsuLzD6xnij
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAPSDjafp3qt
237Please respect copyright.PENANAFHCWb2mn13
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. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAyE5KXKx7vB
237Please respect copyright.PENANAOii5Fc1oMT
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA7KuCAJ3cBn
237Please respect copyright.PENANAq2FsqBmt8O
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAF2k1fEPDa4
237Please respect copyright.PENANABbipG6jnju
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAZOL3IQzto7
237Please respect copyright.PENANA8HGoaqfk2Q
"Good."237Please respect copyright.PENANAPdheHDfp5T
237Please respect copyright.PENANAHMKD80oFzq
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 237Please respect copyright.PENANA5fOm5RRiCw
237Please respect copyright.PENANAkHluzaV1Hd
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAcHnsyz5Wx9
237Please respect copyright.PENANAd56QF5d83i
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAjb2DrU3pVl
237Please respect copyright.PENANAZeEK1GVPwu
"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..."237Please respect copyright.PENANArjtxgSLzyX
237Please respect copyright.PENANA4Sukp7MMOC
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."237Please respect copyright.PENANArnNQGtZ1p3
237Please respect copyright.PENANAciVhNqRfGx
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."237Please respect copyright.PENANAya98N5Sh99
237Please respect copyright.PENANAMFbJjaYwMh
"Okay. Y-yeah..."237Please respect copyright.PENANAKICNfIEvBO
237Please respect copyright.PENANAndJZU84TTh
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 237Please respect copyright.PENANAxb3sqkzEOG
237Please respect copyright.PENANAt6ctYJZS94
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.237Please respect copyright.PENANANJ6ktlbafE

(Three and half years later)237Please respect copyright.PENANAv53LCQcv0k
237Please respect copyright.PENANAppZJRWiALB
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAvPCpN37Ris
237Please respect copyright.PENANAnGap2kTApL
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAQke6yVlrPx
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfPLo8gpYOY
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.237Please respect copyright.PENANAuRhp09htTl
237Please respect copyright.PENANAYAbgIaNZ5x
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAKgrf5axOVd
237Please respect copyright.PENANAjNWBQCB1gx
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.237Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ3eU9VGpu
237Please respect copyright.PENANAwaic7j8PTI
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."237Please respect copyright.PENANArunxhRQRyT
237Please respect copyright.PENANAb2qSKRRzhz
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAffP9mpwLAC
237Please respect copyright.PENANATFoSfhNciO
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAUNylc1Y4Ee
237Please respect copyright.PENANASl6pItXHqc
"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. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAwexOOMPC6D
237Please respect copyright.PENANAhyUrhz7aZE
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.237Please respect copyright.PENANAL4c4wC9ctf
237Please respect copyright.PENANAADz8v7sAxc
"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."237Please respect copyright.PENANA1ndq6tOkfk
237Please respect copyright.PENANAxBMLXbp5rx
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.237Please respect copyright.PENANAl51jWGTH7T
237Please respect copyright.PENANAjNnF5YBZag
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA5nYoD5vrra
237Please respect copyright.PENANA3l14kCuoyI
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7OamNl6h9
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1F1FnW24sa
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.237Please respect copyright.PENANA1jMJFWs3hr
237Please respect copyright.PENANATUiitF8qb5
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 237Please respect copyright.PENANAGxqVjk3jAk
237Please respect copyright.PENANAzBMpwqmbAy
"Uh, fine I guess."237Please respect copyright.PENANANX3qdbhA5b
237Please respect copyright.PENANAyzUe3aCtSh
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAKF1KBKNLi1
237Please respect copyright.PENANAcXTEshPqzy
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAUiMtrnwWWg
237Please respect copyright.PENANAlX9ToyiKub
"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?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAWR7af7KUYG
237Please respect copyright.PENANA0mEn87Vhon
"Yes, Sir."237Please respect copyright.PENANAXQzxwZY7U5
237Please respect copyright.PENANAABAJSVytVV
"Your meds." 237Please respect copyright.PENANAlEXK4KKmOc
237Please respect copyright.PENANAeeabsJK9mh
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.237Please respect copyright.PENANATpf3FEuSP4
237Please respect copyright.PENANA1oO5HJSxOO
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."237Please respect copyright.PENANALK5yO9RrN3
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfshSZx3kd7
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.237Please respect copyright.PENANAb4hDdjtxQt
237Please respect copyright.PENANAhqnwYqpAdA
"Better now that you all are here."237Please respect copyright.PENANAxjq5V3jlDe
237Please respect copyright.PENANAEGLvpthLDJ
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAaPLn58Ujnd
237Please respect copyright.PENANA88KZFWT3n5
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA0fiPoHZZiJ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAv5cITFAaV6
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.237Please respect copyright.PENANA7ylEI5YPAF
237Please respect copyright.PENANAvINDQ8meQk
"Do I have to take them?"237Please respect copyright.PENANA7QBQnojKpX
237Please respect copyright.PENANAzBvvvPPRTl
"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?"237Please respect copyright.PENANAmoolQyUXxe
237Please respect copyright.PENANARE0RA6Z9Ns
"Yeah."237Please respect copyright.PENANAcbjqejv5p1
237Please respect copyright.PENANAmCUTvNA9z4
"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."237Please respect copyright.PENANAwVVxbvWcaS
237Please respect copyright.PENANAfktD3u2Eui
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"237Please respect copyright.PENANAf0JHFNZtPU
237Please respect copyright.PENANAvw7JTkBTn4
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAFjEXzJ5g13
237Please respect copyright.PENANAoAEzuWRaBc
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAaWxEWxY47C
237Please respect copyright.PENANAy5jiCWlTtg
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAbtvvIyTM7u
237Please respect copyright.PENANAu8sJFsls74
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAbrp6wDnHwK
237Please respect copyright.PENANAmtFTJREwGx
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANA90CmXlEy9b
237Please respect copyright.PENANAOcvuPa5Gyy
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."237Please respect copyright.PENANAYq2EnY1xQO
237Please respect copyright.PENANAOD0ZnHbGNJ
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.237Please respect copyright.PENANATw0VVuHgMZ
237Please respect copyright.PENANAiWJ3TGnlD8
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAb78dOW0Hrl
237Please respect copyright.PENANAoSxaWZgH26
"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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAIB3pIFHB6J
237Please respect copyright.PENANAUGBcOBRcj6
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAVWnZBsY7bE
237Please respect copyright.PENANAPbYtzxcK5q
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."237Please respect copyright.PENANAV3tZ6eNYYV
237Please respect copyright.PENANAexvwiUXKB6
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 237Please respect copyright.PENANAhe4HQKrI0q
237Please respect copyright.PENANAOiDBwJ3OGX
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 237Please respect copyright.PENANAXiazOn8UEE
237Please respect copyright.PENANAu1XWsicmeq
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. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAvWmkqRC7SS
237Please respect copyright.PENANADPM6kk9vS8
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.237Please respect copyright.PENANAqS9R1fmdXx

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. 237Please respect copyright.PENANAmH5Clu7pDI
