How It Goes - Part 21
_Suburbia_ plays in the background as Scott sits cross-legged on the kitchen table. A trail of drying cum marks his chin and belly; patches of blood rest upon the table surface. Meticulously, he pulls out another shard of glass from the sole of his...
How It Goes - Part 22
"Are you insane!?" Theo's grin grows fixed, though the light in his eyes starts to dim. "Am I... What?" "We're eighteen," Scott huffs, with equal panic to that on the bear's face. "Didn't we... we talked about this... why are you doing this?" "No,...
