On the other hand, I hate it when you don’t do great work, and I not only have to tell you, but also deal with... more...

The Derailed Desire
Clasping wasn’t passion anymore, but a routine. Carnal needs and desires hitchhiked to a state of arousal, and sunk in an unfamiliar state of eerie silence. The breaths deceived.
