- Two months later -233Please respect copyright.PENANAwTBttzhaqZ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAdLU23e4I6R
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAFwVzaa1PCP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAOE3ZL3giaO
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.233Please respect copyright.PENANAAupDBqKqjQ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAx9oSrmSGXQ
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."233Please respect copyright.PENANAD9zbnNtlJ7
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5pwRn2ViwE
"I'm suprised his..."233Please respect copyright.PENANAKGImrHfsyh
233Please respect copyright.PENANABUgLRxf0FW
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAhUzDXmM5v6
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkNtKgm3tXI
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAVg3k3W0a41
233Please respect copyright.PENANASidmBZUHqW
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 233Please respect copyright.PENANArLSQnUSApt
233Please respect copyright.PENANAf1atgUfXCP
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.233Please respect copyright.PENANAQvIghOR5y1
233Please respect copyright.PENANAs2211jqek0
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAKNuiGZedyu
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWoZCAqX9x5
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"233Please respect copyright.PENANAEBVy2wIufu
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUmPfbHanwn
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.233Please respect copyright.PENANAQX8YExdn7h
233Please respect copyright.PENANApi8n1nyxwj
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAwx47zWIhyw
233Please respect copyright.PENANAypZCxnCmOm
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAGq6RMxnd1k
233Please respect copyright.PENANAMRKQS9Kokk
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAL3qYvOZ3Le
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8YJZNuOwfy
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."233Please respect copyright.PENANAfPzPpi8IzK
233Please respect copyright.PENANATayDbnTMSR
"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." 233Please respect copyright.PENANAV2QP3aBSUe
233Please respect copyright.PENANAR4fWLo11v9
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAjtmaCmlt9e
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcdBNgyYwZy
They barely interact socially."233Please respect copyright.PENANAtpVULrRjvl
233Please respect copyright.PENANAgrMUIH875d
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA2FZI8XqNh9
233Please respect copyright.PENANAvxic8O3a89
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.233Please respect copyright.PENANAmon050gLAO
233Please respect copyright.PENANA7RZxcXnyPb
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.233Please respect copyright.PENANAWC1D20RwnR
233Please respect copyright.PENANADqo4N8jQ6r
"Uh..."233Please respect copyright.PENANAQODqp4HzAD
233Please respect copyright.PENANAMqEzJbCOvu
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"233Please respect copyright.PENANAQkvVIDFDgf
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4apyU8ZgF
"Ester, I'm sorry-"233Please respect copyright.PENANATuiar4wlTh
233Please respect copyright.PENANAdevNEbxJk0
"Don't you Ester me!"233Please respect copyright.PENANAMbYDrdD6JN
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcDhAZvFxk6
"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-" 233Please respect copyright.PENANAOuQyQT7iKz
233Please respect copyright.PENANAlQn3tsD228
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANASvgci3naAg
233Please respect copyright.PENANA63ShqcdMmR
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.233Please respect copyright.PENANAyVPjN7RWv1
233Please respect copyright.PENANAb13LWqsg6S
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.233Please respect copyright.PENANAdUv3O2lfhe
233Please respect copyright.PENANAEgveJH6Rp2
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.233Please respect copyright.PENANAazW5JWnfiP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAfndpNuWwAQ
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.233Please respect copyright.PENANAz8Qv9jmnj8
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANACYIg85OCr5
233Please respect copyright.PENANA0zjglaLhAn
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.233Please respect copyright.PENANAxOm38sE0Gx
233Please respect copyright.PENANALQiD2LIijY
"You don't remember us talking and-" 233Please respect copyright.PENANADHILrDtQMA
233Please respect copyright.PENANAQx0TNDTgfY
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"233Please respect copyright.PENANAobmlTEiZYP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ5sp17dWE
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANANJCBpGaY2X
233Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Uml65Fxs
"Woah!"233Please respect copyright.PENANA2FDid9nNrK
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5D9Lc19oCH
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAgKOzKpl1Sn
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqRCB5A4XAF
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.233Please respect copyright.PENANA2vGcokBMks
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAYGkSfAWNQp
233Please respect copyright.PENANAevWRuU8VDX
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.233Please respect copyright.PENANAywEBbDXU4C
233Please respect copyright.PENANAF5fQgByjIu
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA041pC3M3hL
233Please respect copyright.PENANAd9XbflQo7N
"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. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAqt545KbIxy
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWa5qOuz667
"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. 233Please respect copyright.PENANACq3Rnhg4NQ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAClviu3gd9h
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAvzCaytCUL9
233Please respect copyright.PENANAZxCTUNiuCo
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAssZTCrsRLc
233Please respect copyright.PENANAjqKnbgmGBe
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."233Please respect copyright.PENANAfNqkWoTA8E
233Please respect copyright.PENANAV03mJxDmoO
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"233Please respect copyright.PENANA9w0w7bBSGK
233Please respect copyright.PENANAG6E9As2KxB
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAyGeoNHgjjV
233Please respect copyright.PENANAON0L7Ab5gW
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. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAsGyFg3jcXU
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtXnGZIKMFv
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAqV19r1AI4G
233Please respect copyright.PENANAYwNidx7RoY
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAcZjll9HjeO
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUKjnDgT6Hh
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAacmlyW4rWy
233Please respect copyright.PENANA0ssgROwDSZ
"Good."233Please respect copyright.PENANAhTZE5YI0MN
233Please respect copyright.PENANAanxfnGx6W8
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 233Please respect copyright.PENANAmA5ogHnNdB
233Please respect copyright.PENANAyYsAPyIAqd
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAXRbqDHR2oq
233Please respect copyright.PENANAXHGvIjz6RM
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAGyRKw5k46E
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWrDWIzeMBD
"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..."233Please respect copyright.PENANAKio53cCdPl
233Please respect copyright.PENANAIyUtG05brB
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."233Please respect copyright.PENANAlM25GGXaev
233Please respect copyright.PENANAXrJHTeLsdd
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."233Please respect copyright.PENANAjmbIr7Bv8c
233Please respect copyright.PENANAWcAj1xeFiX
"Okay. Y-yeah..."233Please respect copyright.PENANAKoA2e38NDP
233Please respect copyright.PENANAn25q2ZxOYR
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 233Please respect copyright.PENANAqEPq83YpDh
233Please respect copyright.PENANAVcqH6oRans
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.233Please respect copyright.PENANAv3p8VYgyM0

(Three and half years later)233Please respect copyright.PENANACNuUngjEhD
233Please respect copyright.PENANAJPXgIRVAfZ
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA9zG2KEQ9al
233Please respect copyright.PENANAO7vTAhIKkC
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA4rklQlkR5K
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUuXNDDkbXq
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.233Please respect copyright.PENANAy9BsoblGBu
233Please respect copyright.PENANASwNrs0akJO
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAYZrh8ctLdN
233Please respect copyright.PENANAj5VEC85rOk
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.233Please respect copyright.PENANAzwRdU8cOMn
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkPc43FkS5X
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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAWAHkbiKRgN
233Please respect copyright.PENANAAGzQxRqbDw
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA0fr2xU8S0z
233Please respect copyright.PENANAPbz0iBXeuK
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA4PW74q546T
233Please respect copyright.PENANAAW1oWtP4sW
"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. 233Please respect copyright.PENANADnloWAzTOa
233Please respect copyright.PENANAiYg83p4MXP
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.233Please respect copyright.PENANAZtnCLZ4EXx
233Please respect copyright.PENANApmz8m4KHKJ
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAFsYcNvX7FY
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkvZZ1ZOZlH
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.233Please respect copyright.PENANAGSzPJonbq0
233Please respect copyright.PENANA1khOfnzhST
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAZ9ebDzt3hj
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5LVK6r26PG
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAsPZu8YB8hK
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3mfVYRP5iq
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.233Please respect copyright.PENANARV8DMFfohS
233Please respect copyright.PENANAoRukzkQn47
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 233Please respect copyright.PENANAWR0iyh8V3L
233Please respect copyright.PENANAaVhVNnwDzu
"Uh, fine I guess."233Please respect copyright.PENANAtLPU0mdwd2
233Please respect copyright.PENANAbwaox93Etx
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAdgica3fBL6
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqLq7szEE1v
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"233Please respect copyright.PENANA0jaNNctQzr
233Please respect copyright.PENANAUmES4SxtVR
"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?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAhf9kl1akQ6
233Please respect copyright.PENANAjIqm1wQVTk
"Yes, Sir."233Please respect copyright.PENANAj4ra3QvtBo
233Please respect copyright.PENANAoSoa7ulpWc
"Your meds." 233Please respect copyright.PENANA00luHIkvuu
233Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hprfmz4TL
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.233Please respect copyright.PENANAyIF3PaZ9Az
233Please respect copyright.PENANAnvll2k178V
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."233Please respect copyright.PENANAooSzW0CVgs
233Please respect copyright.PENANAqlnkoenwDy
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.233Please respect copyright.PENANAacZQ1XspKI
233Please respect copyright.PENANAk0rqOzN358
"Better now that you all are here."233Please respect copyright.PENANAVsJmXOz4IF
233Please respect copyright.PENANAzfKQWoid0G
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANALhW6iJtHju
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3TJoLye7Bk
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANALDcB6lzVJA
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHBoViAqBUt
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.233Please respect copyright.PENANAs8zprkCkFJ
233Please respect copyright.PENANACT0UepgaZp
"Do I have to take them?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAmK1UGtz040
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHnFznHbjf7
"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?"233Please respect copyright.PENANAYfqjFUawWH
233Please respect copyright.PENANAkLt9EQkwP5
"Yeah."233Please respect copyright.PENANA5vnPo1awo4
233Please respect copyright.PENANAI1TLm3T4QJ
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANALh58yWWkuD
233Please respect copyright.PENANAM5nEZL8Gk3
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"233Please respect copyright.PENANAMPF8rahcMf
233Please respect copyright.PENANA3X7sw7J5mc
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAWfChHhNFLx
233Please respect copyright.PENANAudQFRfA8v8
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAMUkUyQVrcB
233Please respect copyright.PENANAhgUkhJVgKx
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAgR8Nlvz2OZ
233Please respect copyright.PENANAf1kGyL3xGS
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAIMjcCdqFzq
233Please respect copyright.PENANAtfJku8V1KO
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAT5s1AArmNH
233Please respect copyright.PENANAshb1WQn5dQ
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."233Please respect copyright.PENANA6qREKz20PK
233Please respect copyright.PENANAlSyiHX81mm
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.233Please respect copyright.PENANAxJxi6kVs2P
233Please respect copyright.PENANA5cqx5TbY32
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAflxR9TT6Bu
233Please respect copyright.PENANA96ABfk0Fli
"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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAgyoXaDV8dn
233Please respect copyright.PENANAlGcmdjB15U
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANAYbkjPnYR5f
233Please respect copyright.PENANANEHI98oOVM
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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAzG5v1abNez
233Please respect copyright.PENANAnipApg4cwi
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 233Please respect copyright.PENANA2h8PZEnACw
233Please respect copyright.PENANAcQZVi48RT4
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 233Please respect copyright.PENANA1jPzJMpMhO
233Please respect copyright.PENANAGc8mqaWznF
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. 233Please respect copyright.PENANAzdEQod2ARg
233Please respect copyright.PENANAHe2Vqmuf19
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.233Please respect copyright.PENANA5Sg4MMI5Fg
233Please respect copyright.PENANA8bDh8Gtf5l
"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."233Please respect copyright.PENANAc9cr2OlZm1
