129Please respect copyright.PENANAcnvCfDw2oH
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAKj8hYeisiF
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZkhuRT3n52
The sun is setting for the day, his friends are returning for the day. "So... how'd it go... with..." Mikey keeps stuttering.129Please respect copyright.PENANAp9KMcraYRK
129Please respect copyright.PENANAROa9ZSUY8N
"It went fine with Cloud. He helped me out."129Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ32pHrKOX
129Please respect copyright.PENANA2xWgDPQXGe
"I'm suprised his..."129Please respect copyright.PENANAzn67BVDmwL
129Please respect copyright.PENANAfDrNwPJgGI
"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."129Please respect copyright.PENANA0S0EzsS940
129Please respect copyright.PENANAS8I7HZ8wk6
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAvrfsFR9WOW
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcyGjftK7HP
"Yeah, his not getting a chance of sunlight till I'm confident his fully moldable." Solayo responds. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAmpQmqpDg5M
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjy0TuwS9ms
"And... how long are we going to keep the rest down there?" Mikey whispers.129Please respect copyright.PENANAlQRDJ923Hx
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0ycw26sUgP
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA3CRupZg2D2
129Please respect copyright.PENANAilaMWaSG4a
He opens his eyes, realizing his food is back. Mikey eyes Grayson boxers on the floor. "Uh, his fooling around-"129Please respect copyright.PENANAA8cbzg7i7t
129Please respect copyright.PENANASfhEtrKI1o
"I don't advise you-" Ester adds on, cutting Mikey off, but Solayo cuts her off.129Please respect copyright.PENANAHcyE6zPcmr
129Please respect copyright.PENANAeY8xlXR5zo
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWs4LKY4sZQ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAg1ofd7BqWY
What if she freaks out on you and realizes what she's doing?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAITKnerLjru
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZ482RCRwJ0
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAbzWTqdogxp
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIWcrFowDHO
And I like her, she's really pretty and I'm better for her anyway."129Please respect copyright.PENANAknzOkkF2kC
129Please respect copyright.PENANAEEuuIETqum
"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." 129Please respect copyright.PENANA9EHc7QN66e
129Please respect copyright.PENANApssJKJDZow
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAtKokwvSrnl
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGUMWDRLx6F
They barely interact socially."129Please respect copyright.PENANAd98mX1ssWI
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvZbssNZxmd
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANApppW8RkLae
129Please respect copyright.PENANAkihxaD9KBO
Unlike him, she is clothed kind of. Nothing is showing, but it's just undergarments on. She sits up, tired and confused.129Please respect copyright.PENANAh3aGi3mFog
129Please respect copyright.PENANAquphQ26cgt
"And while we're on the topic of sex, tell me you use a goddamn condomn." Ester adds on.129Please respect copyright.PENANArnqdvM1y5J
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjuGuuhCS7l
"Uh..."129Please respect copyright.PENANALW6ps5c2lL
129Please respect copyright.PENANAZaMQAlKRHo
"You fucking idiot, Gray!"129Please respect copyright.PENANAHCjMG0qFLy
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIQa1wUi03I
"Ester, I'm sorry-"129Please respect copyright.PENANAjau6UeFbeW
129Please respect copyright.PENANAY30y9wxipU
"Don't you Ester me!"129Please respect copyright.PENANAD846QqbS53
129Please respect copyright.PENANAiNW0iuhtxz
"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-" 129Please respect copyright.PENANA3Rs9sRyX82
129Please respect copyright.PENANABF3faNnMzo
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAxBJFso6FIF
129Please respect copyright.PENANA5dQyqZgb8X
"Beth-" Gray begins, his pants now on and he drops the bed sheet.129Please respect copyright.PENANAaOQSK72k2B
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcMvjS7LOiX
"You sick fuck! What did you do?! How did I get here!" She screams, focusing on Grayson not noticing Solayo prepping a needle.129Please respect copyright.PENANA14Nlhfe60d
129Please respect copyright.PENANAI28dtNXH9C
"And that's what we we're worried about, ya pervert." Mikey chastisies him.129Please respect copyright.PENANAQS03QqzASn
129Please respect copyright.PENANACd5YIRqPXg
"She's 19!" Grayson shouts back.129Please respect copyright.PENANAZUXCZHtzdv
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA522tzleAPW
129Please respect copyright.PENANAw9ZRt5egT1
"What did you do! What did we do!" Beth yells again at Grayson threatening him with the knife.129Please respect copyright.PENANAudWm0kx1xb
129Please respect copyright.PENANAvVQ8yyndtf
"You don't remember us talking and-" 129Please respect copyright.PENANAEdnpVkBIaE
129Please respect copyright.PENANASdA7d0OuyY
But she doesn't let him finish. "Shut up! I don't wanna hear it! You're sick. You fucking sicko!"129Please respect copyright.PENANAiseg2HN1eS
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwJT6zdbX5I
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAbeH1agVJEh
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWd3lumAfEa
"Woah!"129Please respect copyright.PENANAbzzaXwFUQx
129Please respect copyright.PENANASSVpEo4Ues
"Solayo!" Ester calls out. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAHrLsUo0ij6
129Please respect copyright.PENANApaH4Bbcyhu
"Handle it!" He calls back. It takes a bit, but Mikey manages to calm her down enough that she hands over the knife.129Please respect copyright.PENANANKXW5A08Ar
"There we go. Beth, can you let Ester here help you dress?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAbNn5x8HAn7
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHI5eVeCDGI
She nods softly and Ester helps her, Mikey putting the knife away and forcing Grayson to walk and talk with him.129Please respect copyright.PENANAj9ubZjhjrH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAen5430CkU1
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAYm9S4BATAi
129Please respect copyright.PENANAxHLOQBxF07
"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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANApc5XGkpjwP
129Please respect copyright.PENANAoVy52uxEIt
"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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAU4HOrBxNVv
129Please respect copyright.PENANAG3gqYy5e44
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAWEtfBVvjvx
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjDsbUpXk9x
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA3Y2tbI20G7
129Please respect copyright.PENANAF5rr0o4BqJ
"How we feeling, darling?"
"T-tired."129Please respect copyright.PENANA3vYKnOgFIL
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgj0en7qP4A
"Yeah. Can we take you back to your room now? Are you calm enough?"129Please respect copyright.PENANA7x8GWKJ0ao
129Please respect copyright.PENANAwablun88M3
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAOjOAm3qq3s
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVsxIAPKy9j
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAvAvL0Af3zX
129Please respect copyright.PENANATVC9pWGbxw
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAM6CLcbFxra
129Please respect copyright.PENANAOtTKulgJHL
"Evening, Solayo." Slate whispers softly looking tired and drugged out. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA1wgxnzG0L4
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdy6O4fUeB0
"Evening, Slate. You ready for bed? How was dinner?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAS2w5nHpoJN
129Please respect copyright.PENANADLT2SwNsD7
"Good."129Please respect copyright.PENANAvzSTgd6r9x
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgduNAOZn5Z
"Good. You know the drill, boy." 129Please respect copyright.PENANAMvQKZiF5NQ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAPtqOaNVHec
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ5fDZBsaU
129Please respect copyright.PENANAqsdW3YcxRt
He then heads to Beth's, Beth already in bed and tucked in by Solayo. "Restraints?" He asks. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA78NdANOkJZ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAhrp90C4gF5
"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..."129Please respect copyright.PENANAsvWbepWJnZ
129Please respect copyright.PENANARC4vRNa0FG
"She'll have a mild hangover tomorrow..."129Please respect copyright.PENANAiYTkmwBXPY
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWIj4qlXbxf
"Yeah, that's goanna be hell for her. Bring her to me later, I'll give her an IV and the morning after."129Please respect copyright.PENANALH2Ke5A5qQ
129Please respect copyright.PENANAjZI3uP1EH2
"Okay. Y-yeah..."129Please respect copyright.PENANArfc18kBL5F
129Please respect copyright.PENANAa8oz97vKtc
"Let's go back upstairs now, finish our dinner." 129Please respect copyright.PENANAMD9PH8MrlV
129Please respect copyright.PENANA08tMDO5Yeu
And our pair leave, dimming the lights to the floor for the evening.129Please respect copyright.PENANAPU3SSi4XhT

(Three and half years later)129Please respect copyright.PENANAnbKUkyDhn1
129Please respect copyright.PENANAIifpkaTxE5
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjoGy4StgH6
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsXska18FCE
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAJVzhk8WWW7
129Please respect copyright.PENANAis9yR0OLKt
Slate sits beside them both numbly looking at his lap, occasionally giving the spin of a yoyo that is in his hand.129Please respect copyright.PENANAEDP1CPlwzM
129Please respect copyright.PENANAh9HlB5HkI8
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAjDelWUHGBU
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHjUwQE0z6k
"So, uh, group. Ester, uh, asked me to debrief you today. The uh, leaders only just informed yesterday of the news.129Please respect copyright.PENANACZx1dzOztD
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVwjJDHJ9aU
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."129Please respect copyright.PENANA1Q5eAnapRl
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVFQWSJhE7R
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAgUI9un32aC
129Please respect copyright.PENANA8ZavMG0b40
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA9SKHo7lriN
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQg0DM6KVzU
"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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANA9APJz4CMG3
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWqMmOlk5IQ
"Cloud." Says Solayo, followed by the others. "Morning, Solayo. I debriefed everyone like you asked." Cloud tells him.129Please respect copyright.PENANA4AiUUFLE97
129Please respect copyright.PENANA7Tnw9dbyxy
"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."129Please respect copyright.PENANARVp2z9L1TT
129Please respect copyright.PENANAuFilpLv6Z2
"Yes, Sir." Everyone responds. "Good, good." He adds on, handing out breakfast to everyone, making them stand in a line.129Please respect copyright.PENANAwzJBeT5VtC
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKy1bIV0KpM
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAzf6zutiSRl
129Please respect copyright.PENANALKPFxAJzez
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA9SJqUREVtr
129Please respect copyright.PENANANLdlf1up9P
She opens her mouth afterwards showing him it's clear. "Good girl." He smiles, tapping her knee and stands.129Please respect copyright.PENANAIXQ98DL5VE
129Please respect copyright.PENANARRrTBKLjpu
Solayo procees to Gideon next. "How we feeling this morning, Gid?" 129Please respect copyright.PENANAnv5NzkO2Td
129Please respect copyright.PENANArjz2yeeT5B
"Uh, fine I guess."129Please respect copyright.PENANALKZGSSUO5X
129Please respect copyright.PENANA0RazJMY2KZ
"Yeah? So, what we goanna do when we get to leave?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAKc8qC5IJ9H
129Please respect copyright.PENANA66Hx0JE8bv
"I don't know. Mikey said there would be a job?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAha82lePyIv
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHP2ksr9PgX
"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?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAso1MLXfvff
129Please respect copyright.PENANAT5voW5ChUf
"Yes, Sir."129Please respect copyright.PENANAc6jDtL8513
129Please respect copyright.PENANAgAVLoPrfap
"Your meds." 129Please respect copyright.PENANAfx45NMNrRN
129Please respect copyright.PENANAC5xzLwGHQS
And Gideon swallows them down. "Thank you." Solayo says, moving on. Lyla, Slate followed by Cloud and then Beth.129Please respect copyright.PENANAYapYRH5XAl
129Please respect copyright.PENANACT3lczXFNg
She perks up a little when she sees Grayson. "Morning, Grayson."129Please respect copyright.PENANAAgYGvmPqPR
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGsr083L2Ep
"Morning, Beth." Grayson responds. "So, Bethany. Hi, how are we feeling?" Solayo questions.129Please respect copyright.PENANAx5mzeTfHsM
129Please respect copyright.PENANAnxEYG9kjgh
"Better now that you all are here."129Please respect copyright.PENANADeRZhsL0ow
129Please respect copyright.PENANAVusG2WxUr9
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA7bSUOetRyp
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQw8dMe9YOS
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAzR8MLSXJxD
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGlTIr9V1Vt
"Your meds." Solayo smiles holding her cup out to her which contains the most out of everybody else.129Please respect copyright.PENANAX2aU5HwCmL
129Please respect copyright.PENANAcAnflWFQby
"Do I have to take them?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAuBBXnI86rK
129Please respect copyright.PENANAx6pECZfWqk
"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?"129Please respect copyright.PENANAuP2U6zZYP4
129Please respect copyright.PENANAs0OoEXo0UO
"Yeah."129Please respect copyright.PENANAbe1ALAf566
129Please respect copyright.PENANAWHwC1JGiG8
"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."129Please respect copyright.PENANAUXLWIIv2Uy
129Please respect copyright.PENANAGctb6Iue74
"I don't remember what you speak of feels like though, it's-"129Please respect copyright.PENANAUWeZFyUqiH
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3TqJmNy1g
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANApBWshnWJrK
129Please respect copyright.PENANAtYrK6qFQdb
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAwstgHm5u2c
129Please respect copyright.PENANARUcSmRlskE
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAhRJNI8ydEc
129Please respect copyright.PENANAHdwEeM31P8
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA85JrDb5xeV
129Please respect copyright.PENANAQXpQcu4i8T
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAxnDcbh46O7
129Please respect copyright.PENANAaYexQQKsrI
We'll meet with you all tomorrow and assign you your jobs."129Please respect copyright.PENANAcAFHixhZ5t
129Please respect copyright.PENANAl6n36dtBfz
"We get to sleep in a bit?" Slate says excitedly. "Yes, you all do." Solayo responds, smiling and he gently ruffles Slate's hair.129Please respect copyright.PENANAVnhxK1E6WC
129Please respect copyright.PENANAbrC8SV996K
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANA8XGpdki4iK
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKRhdHVrdPc
"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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAMUhsoS4iSD
129Please respect copyright.PENANAckJjgx8w83
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAj8xhrUHpU2
129Please respect copyright.PENANAXQujCyA3sk
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."129Please respect copyright.PENANA2oxGuZgXf9
129Please respect copyright.PENANAKnZvO1hXVS
"Solayo, the dog is pretty old by this point. It-" 129Please respect copyright.PENANAtcYReCC7z1
129Please respect copyright.PENANAdyqGKwFizQ
"Mikey, I don't want to hear it. Collect the damn dog." 129Please respect copyright.PENANAb9SKVKWPvx
129Please respect copyright.PENANArhC8FEtyMs
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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAKRF3gHRAFs
129Please respect copyright.PENANAsfdv060NPz
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.129Please respect copyright.PENANAMCJ6Akd3xc
129Please respect copyright.PENANA4iDeV3H1Yz
"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."129Please respect copyright.PENANAX7qMzdFLHr

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. 129Please respect copyright.PENANAjnKZqA6xA0
