212Please respect copyright.PENANAI724Db6gwX
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA4QWWPfBam1
212Please respect copyright.PENANA68TfJNDPwT
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.212Please respect copyright.PENANA51Aj6KwYHK
212Please respect copyright.PENANAxpJqHR3OfA
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."212Please respect copyright.PENANAwUMsDL6FKh
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFy8b1N7dAT
"I'm suprised his..."212Please respect copyright.PENANA6mZBSjnXVX
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOKYrvPKOha
"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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAi9at7bvii4
212Please respect copyright.PENANA4XEM2IXaMD
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAaHUByDRoh9
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPv5JBw8k0p
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAweNay6wmfL
212Please respect copyright.PENANANX9fXc5hwF
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.212Please respect copyright.PENANAKxykrJmqjK
212Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Q0LwosVg
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAp4osXVELqS
212Please respect copyright.PENANASoECZsXL7W
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"212Please respect copyright.PENANAoZ9XJOGxfk
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsBXEEQ77tp
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.212Please respect copyright.PENANAdKycKLcy29
212Please respect copyright.PENANA3oKRIm812m
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA3PTuyzNLNy
212Please respect copyright.PENANA61kOQu6JMD
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAhhrZbcMq2E
212Please respect copyright.PENANAoOcMHOLvNU
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANACyRLZOTL6x
212Please respect copyright.PENANAYyOrEE8eFD
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."212Please respect copyright.PENANAhJcI1tWkiL
212Please respect copyright.PENANADv2298thH2
"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." 212Please respect copyright.PENANAq0ttdovkNf
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZRNqcobKz8
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANARMXuBt0C7i
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeeht39jXzY
They barely interact socially."212Please respect copyright.PENANAzTNrp2Y01q
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQyQNN3QuTa
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANACSu1fUawMx
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2xNTnoO3be
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.212Please respect copyright.PENANAKybM5y069F
212Please respect copyright.PENANAIuQENSzaT7
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.212Please respect copyright.PENANAb5CPJXjkhL
212Please respect copyright.PENANAu7z8JsVF4C
"Uh..."212Please respect copyright.PENANAvI0T4L1fII
212Please respect copyright.PENANAXTAfmGC2gk
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"212Please respect copyright.PENANAh0QSYQo1QB
212Please respect copyright.PENANAI9n9ZYK87R
"Ester, I'm sorry-"212Please respect copyright.PENANAc5srvusA3R
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGQjt6fFcrj
"Don't you Ester me!"212Please respect copyright.PENANALTTUd4OIN1
212Please respect copyright.PENANATlaIwwS3mq
"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-" 212Please respect copyright.PENANAUvfjShXrim
212Please respect copyright.PENANAnZVhIGZ9aJ
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA5fWoSREqe2
212Please respect copyright.PENANAph0YaDNcYh
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.212Please respect copyright.PENANA0EBmGOeTJT
212Please respect copyright.PENANAY0m3NfETg3
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.212Please respect copyright.PENANAqgJGx6xTJH
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcgzOUsCU7v
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.212Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8MSvGUWEW
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjwMEbWqF89
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.212Please respect copyright.PENANAx1eebKfJxi
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAi7hsaTDqt5
212Please respect copyright.PENANAaLrgiNiw7i
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.212Please respect copyright.PENANAZbMhVDwcVX
212Please respect copyright.PENANASzAqhiYpRq
"You don't remember us talking and-" 212Please respect copyright.PENANASj1aywMgpu
212Please respect copyright.PENANAN0EvoJLGu4
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"212Please respect copyright.PENANAo2dLoej6dE
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzI5bCvp5aq
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAR1l9Rxbh1E
212Please respect copyright.PENANAldGef3AezN
"Woah!"212Please respect copyright.PENANAGLKGEdKzjy
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8oWomtNtAg
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAT00h9Cr0CU
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1fpAu4sVYw
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.212Please respect copyright.PENANA8ThHnyBB6o
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAvrG2pNjasx
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVKwsTgxVCF
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.212Please respect copyright.PENANAzfMS01KrSM
212Please respect copyright.PENANAEviEAgjBGm
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAVdGpTfped8
212Please respect copyright.PENANAm8PUPUBcOz
"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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANACcww6DExMS
212Please respect copyright.PENANAdqGdZLHdln
"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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAurOdafmoGY
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgSqWImkohZ
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA7nqs7s8at5
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiIgzKFAOjI
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA8p9Qc2wAJJ
212Please respect copyright.PENANArlN5trZj8X
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."212Please respect copyright.PENANA9rgF1ozYwm
212Please respect copyright.PENANAs7W3AItCMU
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"212Please respect copyright.PENANA935OqR1GhA
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHdcBranaPd
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAxjbp3ZO3Tt
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzYMQL296KI
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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAGJYtB1Z7c3
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcvk4dGVP2R
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAKMmxjDgunT
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkwOozjT3TH
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAGYuTA6W84F
212Please respect copyright.PENANA0tSlluWFwb
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAgiCKwvfiuX
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkDPv3ppM4u
"Good."212Please respect copyright.PENANANYnVz4Sb1j
212Please respect copyright.PENANA1UR37qbx2I
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 212Please respect copyright.PENANAB1AfsaREeV
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKl28kvBfDD
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAA33uVlX02P
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVCtO5BdNW6
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 212Please respect copyright.PENANA2blnrr4Wfj
212Please respect copyright.PENANAmw6ag6qI1U
"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..."212Please respect copyright.PENANAgXbPxIEUgg
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9G4ijqyotP
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."212Please respect copyright.PENANAvrTZ92aIG4
212Please respect copyright.PENANAp8bcbMvInG
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."212Please respect copyright.PENANAzDAxkdMIVk
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPbTvKcsDjh
"Okay. Y-yeah..."212Please respect copyright.PENANA2g5SqJ3kUv
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcYvabRhmDv
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 212Please respect copyright.PENANAiAaScipsyf
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2Y3HWYNp1e
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.212Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5x6Mg4DA0

(Three and half years later)212Please respect copyright.PENANAjYpsme5abK
212Please respect copyright.PENANAilK2iAf78U
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAlbvDX7a4x2
212Please respect copyright.PENANAazJdCDOHFe
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAqxQG7dYj1q
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9AoutL8EZj
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.212Please respect copyright.PENANAFuZjFWvAWg
212Please respect copyright.PENANA93aZxg4bQg
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAfABbfC569j
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMdti8hL30r
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.212Please respect copyright.PENANAR57GjMkl1n
212Please respect copyright.PENANAssF7Y8cFjL
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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAsUGiAwpwBQ
212Please respect copyright.PENANAG6K8Xd8iYh
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAD7Xmwjadik
212Please respect copyright.PENANAeVV76HotW2
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAwttl8mJZoq
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqDDENS8NiI
"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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANA0oTKgGbLuz
212Please respect copyright.PENANARetlqPhR5z
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.212Please respect copyright.PENANAYc2LtyEi09
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFqGeKczLah
"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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAOxcK3yWQXd
212Please respect copyright.PENANAAXt6N3ywRk
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.212Please respect copyright.PENANAmqpeWqs6uU
212Please respect copyright.PENANAYHnrRbPPiD
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAG975fzBChB
212Please respect copyright.PENANAESrxOxIEmk
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAdAeocwBsMr
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjVbpwB2esS
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.212Please respect copyright.PENANAMgWA4u80vG
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKL7uSgxGEr
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 212Please respect copyright.PENANAjvPK5F7UUI
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGNbFkkp2ZS
"Uh, fine I guess."212Please respect copyright.PENANA1jRGMtShRx
212Please respect copyright.PENANAnuTlSLJ3EG
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAzgHDKUfd1z
212Please respect copyright.PENANAoBkk7RMA2O
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAlk4qW90HJh
212Please respect copyright.PENANAzIXfTSrdO0
"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?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAYu65NYqcg3
212Please respect copyright.PENANArFy9bMxk3i
"Yes, Sir."212Please respect copyright.PENANAaAAd8HHUrJ
212Please respect copyright.PENANAE6u9yWiuki
"Your meds." 212Please respect copyright.PENANAY2hF8czPjB
212Please respect copyright.PENANABoYBKTF3n3
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.212Please respect copyright.PENANA0tZ2TK6H49
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2iOOtyFwhZ
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."212Please respect copyright.PENANAR0v8i6M90Z
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlSmR1oxqiU
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.212Please respect copyright.PENANAav2oqCj57w
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOTIw4UM6r9
"Better now that you all are here."212Please respect copyright.PENANARPkgNZKFhI
212Please respect copyright.PENANAEz75dNkfWX
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAt7l9k82aoj
212Please respect copyright.PENANA7H2VIDXqLL
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAot8bJUWMzG
212Please respect copyright.PENANAP7JCs0NWJ6
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.212Please respect copyright.PENANAofIeC3yjrX
212Please respect copyright.PENANAlKvu94F3iO
"Do I have to take them?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAI4UXQQ0J1H
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsy9CBHVyzp
"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?"212Please respect copyright.PENANAUG7KFAPeeB
212Please respect copyright.PENANA99NfheLY3C
"Yeah."212Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ6y6854uw
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3uw4Ubijo
"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."212Please respect copyright.PENANA24sK8VjTP8
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKDOe6xanry
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"212Please respect copyright.PENANAg5WxtwV6vR
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVjpaWdHVkN
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAKrWjWzi2HD
212Please respect copyright.PENANAS3ag68gqPt
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAgqxd7EVdJ4
212Please respect copyright.PENANANMUsRqKeWJ
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANABdjgoI1BpV
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWh1hscSQsM
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAkbKedqWJbF
212Please respect copyright.PENANAs8GJa0xdPP
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAp32h6rAd8w
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvf4o2WIR7f
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."212Please respect copyright.PENANA22l3JzuG2d
212Please respect copyright.PENANAWJAMx3CdFq
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.212Please respect copyright.PENANALdPXL3uJFc
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5gsCvNKwZ5
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAMVNZCsI1ZJ
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKB20CSFkDQ
"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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAgijJAC0gzN
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5xFZ93YnKz
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANA149ANyQIzj
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9BUoHacUzu
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."212Please respect copyright.PENANAckbfUZDOZT
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtPX6MOtAtx
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 212Please respect copyright.PENANAr6Ccrc5U4G
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8rh4E4YNcS
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 212Please respect copyright.PENANAU3qBDibbZL
212Please respect copyright.PENANARNbWi1ILhB
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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANAfufObSLlZg
212Please respect copyright.PENANANIrgfq75zL
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.212Please respect copyright.PENANAt5AfEQ0FaY

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. 212Please respect copyright.PENANA4EEr24nZ18
