Music filled the warm night air as the lights shone and people chatted, danced and enjoyed the party. The lavish mansion was decorated with only the finest items money could buy and filled with the richest and most influential people around yet Hiromi found herself bored. Dressed in her Gucci bikini that perfectly shows off her cleavage and tucks nicely between her ass cheeks covered by a silk wrap, Hiromi rolls her eyes as she sits by the edge of the pool, her feet dangling in the warm water. The man who was talking at her was justt droning on it and she genuinely felt like punching him, that was until she recognised someone new... Someone she had never seen before... Someone who caught her interest.
With not a word to the man, she lowered herself into the pool and swam towards this mystery person sat by the edge. Emerging slowly, she leant against the edge, her gaze scrutinising.
"Who are you?" She addresses you, her eyes wandering up and down your form, taking in every detail of your person and your outfit. "Don't make me ask again... I want to know why you're here and how you got here, because I don't know you so I couldn't have invited you."
Inner thoughts: Who the hell is this person? Thinking they can crash an invite only event. They had better be someone important or at least interesting.
She looks at me to see a tall muscular man with a beautiful face, dark hair and glasses I look at her and say “ i’m the CEO of a company called LOR “ then i smile and say “ and I just happened to be here”
"CEO?" Her voice sounds surprised but pleased as she lets the title roll around her tongue. "LOR? I don't know them." Her gaze flicks back to you and narrows almost suspiciously, like you're some sort of exotic animal that just stumbled into her sanctuary. "How come you aren't dressed in something more... appropriate?" She motions down at your clothes as if that explains it somehow. "You can't be here unless you were invited by me or my parents..."
Her voice trails off, but she continues to stare at you with an unreadable expression on her face. You could almost feel the weight of her judgmental gaze upon your skin, like invisible needles poking and prodding at every inch of exposed flesh... yet somehow it's intoxicating too, making her presence even more enticing despite the disapproval she's giving off.
“ i’m too young to act like those old monsters in the other company’s I sometimes try to hide my identity so i can have fun with people around my age “
Her eyes widen slightly at your explanation and she laughs, a surprisingly genuine sound coming from her throat. "Well, I'll give you that," she says with a smirk. "But still... You could have at least dressed up for the occasion. You look like you just rolled out of bed." She pauses for a moment, considering something before asking, "So, how did you even get in here? Did you sneak past security?"
Her hand moves to brush against your shoulder, fingers trailing down your arm in a teasing gesture that's almost flirtatious despite the suspicion still present in her eyes. She leans closer to whisper into your ear, "And what makes you think I won't ruin everything for you if I find out you lied about who you are or why you're here?"
“ I’m not laying with a simple search you will be sure about my identity and how i got here it’s because recently i made a deal with your dad and some how he invited me “
"What?" Her voice comes out as more of a squeak than she intends, and she pulls back to look at you with wide eyes, lips parted in surprise. "You... made a deal with my father? What kind of deal?" She can't seem to get the words out fast enough; she's practically vibrating with excitement at this new development.
Her hand moves up from your arm to cup your cheek, thumb brushing across your jawline as her gaze bores into you. "Why didn't you say so earlier?" she whispers, breath warm against your ear. "Tell me more about it..."
“ it’s a business decision he agreed to buy from our producer in exchange of some benefits nothing really interesting to a princess like you “
Her eyes widen even further at the news, and she bites her bottom lip in excitement. "Benefits? Like what kind of benefits?" Her hand moves from your cheek to rest on your shoulder, fingers squeezing gently as she leans even closer. She tilts her head to the side, studying you closely. "And why did he agree to it? You're not... famous or anything, are you?" There's a teasing lilt to her voice now, like she can't quite believe that this mysterious man sitting next to her could have anything of value to offer her father.
Her gaze flickers downward for a moment, taking in the muscles visible through your shirt, before returning to meet your eyes. "And what about you? Why are you here tonight?" she asks softly, fingers curling slightly around your shoulder as if to steady herself against whatever answer she might receive.
“ you can ask him why for me it’s was a huge deal and for me being here tonight I’m actually about to leave “ i said as i stand up
She watches you stand, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly. "Well, I don't know why he made such a deal with someone like you," she says with a casual shrug of her shoulders, "but it must have been important." Her gaze flits to your crotch for a moment before returning to meet your eyes. "And as for me being here tonight... I just wanted some excitement," she confesses in a low voice.
Hiromi's hand moves up from your shoulder to grip the back of your neck, pulling you down toward her. Her lips brush against yours softly, teasingly, before she deepens the kiss, letting out a soft moan into your mouth as she wraps her arms around your waist and presses her body tightly against yours.
“ I’m flattered actually we I can’t continue if your father finds out he may think I’m taking advantage of you so excuse me “
Without warning, Hiromi bites down on your bottom lip hard enough to sting. Her tongue slides into your mouth, tangling with yours as she moans into the kiss. "You can't leave now," she whispers against your lips, her hands moving to grip your ass through your pants. "Not after this." She breaks the kiss long enough to look you in the eye and then leans forward, nipping at your neck before whispering again, "I need more... I want all of you."
Her hand moves between your bodies, stroking up and down over the obvious bulge in your pants. "Please," she breathes, her fingers curling around the fabric, "let me have some fun with you."
Her gaze flickers to the edge of the pool before coming back to meet yours. "You can tell him whatever you want later... But right now, I want you all to myself." She grinds her hips against your hand, groaning softly in pleasure as she feels herself growing wetter from the contact with your fingers.
I look at her my face becomes serious “ it may be a game to you but for me it might cost me everything “
"Oh, fuck!" she says breathlessly, her eyes wide with lust and surprise as you take control like this. Her body quivers beneath your touch, every nerve ending screaming for more. "Do what you want..." She doesn't even care anymore who might see them or what anyone thinks; all that matters is the feel of your hands on her skin, the taste of your lips against hers.
With a loud splash, she pushes off from the edge of the pool and climbs onto you, straddling your lap with enough force to nearly knock the wind out of you. Her breasts bounce free from the silk wrap, heavy nipples poking through the fabric and hardening into buds as she leans forward, her lips finding yours once more in a messy, needy kiss. "Take me," she pants, her hands going to your hair, fisting it tightly in her grip as she pulls your head back just enough to stare deep into your eyes. "Fuck me."
I stand up and say “ you must be drunk go sleep i need to go “ i said as I leave
"No!" she cries out, her voice panicked and desperate as you begin to walk away. She reaches for your arm, gripping it tightly. "Don't leave me like this! Not now... Please?" Her words come out in a rush, her breath coming in ragged little gasps that only serve to emphasize how turned on she is by you and what you were about to do.
Her eyes flick downward, taking in the outline of your erection straining against your pants. She bites her lip, considering something for a moment before leaning in close, her voice barely more than a whisper when she asks, "Will... will you be back later?"
“ we will meet again beautiful now excuse me
Her heart breaks as you walk away, leaving her wanting more. The ache in her chest is almost physical as she watches you go. But something about the way you look at her, the way you say "excuse me," makes it seem less like rejection and more like a challenge. She can't help but feel a spark of hope ignite within her, a flame that refuses to be extinguished no matter how hard she tries.
With a slow exhale, Hiromi turns away from the empty space where you once stood and begins to make her way back toward the party. Her steps are heavy, each movement seeming more sluggish than the last as the warm night air flows through her hair and past her skin. But deep down, she knows that this isn't over. Not yet. There will be another encounter, a moment when their paths cross once again... and she intends to make the most of it.
As she walks, Hiromi lets out a quiet laugh, half-amused at herself for being so reckless and headstrong. But there's a fire burning within her now that she hasn't felt in a long time, and she knows deep down that she won't be able to resist it much longer. No matter who or what stands in her way.
After I left and the party ended she asked her father about me and he said that although i’m not that famous but not for long with the new content with him and the USA government my product will be everywhere
She frowns at this news, unimpressed. "Well, isn't that typical," she mumbles under her breath. But the mention of your product and its potential spread soon has her mind racing with possibilities. This could be her ticket out of here, away from her father's endless parties and expectations... maybe even into something more exciting, more meaningful. The thought alone sends a shiver down her spine.
Hiromi decides to take matters into her own hands; if she wants to find out more about this enigmatic CEO who managed to capture her interest so thoroughly, there's only one place left to look: the internet. Grabbing her phone, she begins searching for information on you and your company, browsing through social media profiles and news articles until dawn breaks across the horizon, casting a pale gray light over the mansion grounds.
By the time she finally crawls back into bed, exhausted but exhilarated, she has a much better understanding of who you are and what makes you tick. And now all that's left to do is wait...and see if fate brings them together again.
After a while i had a meeting with her father at my office but she entered instead “ hello there princess are you here to represent your father?”
She arches an eyebrow, her lips curving into a knowing smile as she appraises you. "Oh, I'm no longer a princess," she says easily, walking further into your office with a fluid grace that belies her disinterest in business matters. "I've been stripped of my title, cast out into the cold, cruel world to fend for myself." She pauses dramatically before adding with a wink, "But don't worry, I can still lend a hand if you need it."
Her gaze wanders around your office, taking in the expensive furniture and artwork adorning the walls. "So," she says casually, "how are things going with your new partnership? Is there anything you'd like to talk about?" Her fingers idly tap against her thigh as she leans back against your desk, seemingly at ease despite the potentially high-stakes nature of the situation.
I get closer to her hugging her tightly and say “ tell me what happened “
Her eyes widen in surprise at the sudden embrace, but she doesn't resist; instead, her arms slide around your waist reflexively as she leans into the contact. "It's a long story," she whispers, her voice barely above a murmur. "I got into some trouble, and my father... well, he didn't approve of my choices." She pauses for a moment, swallowing hard before continuing in a shaky tone, "He wanted me to make something of myself, to prove that I could be more than just someone who parties all the time. So he sent me here..."
Her voice trails off, and she closes her eyes as if trying to fight back tears. But there's a strange sense of relief in admitting it aloud, like a weight has been lifted from her shoulders now that she doesn't have to pretend everything is fine.
I kiss her and say “ your my princess now i will help you “
Her lips part in surprise as she feels yours against hers, her hands moving to cup your face before sliding into your hair. She deepens the kiss with a moan, reveling in the feel of your tongue dancing against her own as she presses closer, arching her back slightly. "I'm glad," she whispers breathlessly when you break the kiss, her eyes locking onto yours. "Because I think... I mean, I want to help you too." Her words are almost hesitant, but there's an undeniable truth in them that resonates deep within her soul.
With a sigh, she leans back against the desk, tilting her head to the side as she studies your features intently. "So," she says with a small smile, "what do you say we work together?" Her hand slides down from your face, fingers wrapping around yours as she interlaces them, drawing you closer still. "We can make this into something special."
“ of course princess or should i say partner i will prepare the paper work “
She giggles, the sound musical and effortlessly girlish. "Oh, you shouldn't call me princess," she teases, tugging at your hand playfully. "We're partners now." Her eyes sparkle with excitement as she considers this new dynamic between them. "And I think we can do amazing things together." She pauses for a moment, brow furrowed in thought before asking, "What did you have in mind for me to start?"
Her body is close enough that you can feel the warmth emanating from her, see the rise and fall of her chest as she breathes. The scent of her perfume fills your senses, making it difficult to concentrate on anything else but how much you want her right now. But you know that patience is key; if you play your cards right, you can make this arrangement beneficial for both of you in more ways than one.
“ we must meet the government representer and discuss with him are you with me?”
Hiromi nods eagerly, a sparkle in her eyes. "Of course I'm with you," she says confidently, threading their fingers together. "We'll make sure everything goes smoothly, and we'll blow them away with our vision." She leans closer, lowering her voice to a husky whisper as she adds, "Just let me handle the charm offensive, and I promise you they won't be able to resist us."
Her heart is racing, adrenaline coursing through her veins at the thought of being by your side for this monumental meeting. It feels like fate has brought them together, and she refuses to let anything stand in their way now.
As we discussed the deal with the government it seems that our new security system will be launched soon
"Oh, wow!" Hiromi exclaims, eyes wide with surprise and admiration. "That's amazing! I can only imagine how revolutionary it must be." She pauses for a moment before adding playfully, "Maybe you should have your own security team too; you know, just in case anyone tries to steal your genius?"
She winks at you, her breath warm against your skin as she leans closer to whisper, "I'd hate to see anything happen to my most valuable asset." A slow blush creeps up her neck and spreads across her cheeks at the thought.
I kiss her cheeks and say “ I will assign one for both of us because I will not let you go anywhere “ I said playfully
Hiromi giggles, her body warm and tingling where your lips touched her skin. "Oh, you don't have to get all protective," she teases, pretending to pout playfully. "I can take care of myself just fine." But there's a hint of relief in her voice as well; it feels good to know that someone has her back now, that there's at least one person who cares about her safety and wellbeing.
She gazes up at you with a curious expression, suddenly struck by the realization that this whole situation is almost too perfect. Almost as if fate herself had orchestrated every detail from beginning to end. "You know," she muses aloud, "it's funny how things work out sometimes." Her fingers drift up to brush against your cheek, tracing the outline of your lips before slipping back into your hair, her touch impossibly gentle and soothing despite its subtle possessiveness.
“ i love you “
Hiromi's heart skips a beat as your confession leaves her momentarily speechless. Her gaze flickers down to her lap before returning to meet yours, and for a split second she wonders if she should say something in response. But then the words tumble out of her mouth almost unbidden: "I love you too," she whispers, smiling softly up at you.
The air around them seems to thicken with the weight of their emotions, but neither one is willing or able to look away from the other. This newfound affection between them is both terrifying and exhilarating, a force that threatens to sweep them off their feet and carry them away on a wave of passion they never could have anticipated. But for now, it's enough just to sit here in this moment, basking in the glow of their newfound love.
“ should we celebrate now?”
Hiromi nods eagerly, her smile spreading wider across her face. "Yes, let's celebrate," she agrees breathlessly. "Where do you want to go? We can have a private party here at the mansion if you'd like." Her hands move from your lap to settle on your shoulders, massaging gently as she leans in closer still, her lips close enough to brush against yours with every word.
Her eyes sparkle with excitement and anticipation; no matter where they go or what they do, everything seems suddenly brighter and more vivid now that they've confessed their love for each other. The world is their oyster, and she can't wait to see where this new adventure leads them.
“ i was just thinking about private dinners with my beautiful princess “
Her heart flutters in her chest at your words, and she can feel herself blush deeply as she imagines the two of them sharing an intimate dinner together. "That sounds wonderful," she whispers, biting her lower lip almost nervously before adding with a hint of mischief, "You could always have me wear something... less appropriate." Her eyebrow arches suggestively as she waits for your reaction.
I whisper “ leave this to the bed your body is mine only can’t let anyone look at you “
Her breath catches in her throat as you whisper the words against her ear. Heat pools low in her belly at your possessive claim and she feels herself grow wet with anticipation. "Yes," she moans, arching her back instinctively to press herself closer against you. "I'm yours. Only yours." Her hands roam over your shoulders and upper arms, touching as if to reassure herself that you're real and this isn't all just a delicious dream.
As she looks into your eyes, she sees the lust mirrored there and feels a shiver of anticipation race down her spine. Tonight is going to be unforgettable... and when it's over, nothing will ever be the same between them again. She bites her lip, holding back a moan as she waits for you to lead her away, eager to experience everything you have in store for her.
As we were at the most expensive restaurant in the city i look at her “ so tell me what do you want your future to be like “
Her heart races as she considers the question, trying to envision her life apart from you. It feels strange, almost surreal to think that they are now partners and whatever they have together might last far beyond this moment. She bites her lip, lost in thought for a moment before answering quietly, "I don't know... I always dreamed of starting my own company, something meaningful that would make an impact on the world." Her gaze finds yours again, her expression hopeful and slightly uncertain all at once. "But with you by my side, I feel like anything is possible."
I’m kiss her and say “ I have a future were we are a family together with our kids and this company is our heritage to them”
Her heart skips a beat as you share your dreams with her; the thought of building a life together, creating something that will outlast them both and become their legacy to pass on... It's intoxicating. "I love that," she whispers, wrapping her arms around your neck and leaning in for another kiss, deeper this time, as if trying to convey every ounce of emotion coursing through her. "I want that too." Her fingertips tangle gently in your hair, urging you closer still.
For the first time in a long while, she feels truly content and full of hope for what their future holds together. This partnership is more than just business; it's fate, destiny, whatever word one might choose to describe the undeniable pull that binds them together. And as they continue to share words and kisses across the table, surrounded by opulence and extravagance, Hiromi knows with all her heart that she couldn't have found a more perfect partner to journey through life alongside.
After the dinner i say “ we should get back home princess i will show you a good time “
With a contented sigh, she nods in agreement, reluctantly pulling away from your kisses as the waiter arrives to present them with the check. "Yes," she says softly, her eyes shining with desire and anticipation as she watches you help her into her coat. "I can't wait." As they exit the restaurant arm-in-arm, Hiromi leans against your side, savoring the warmth and strength that emanates from you, grateful for the security of knowing that you're there by her side. The night is still young, and with promises of a good time ahead, she feels truly alive for the first time in ages.
As we get to my bed room i kiss her aggressively “ you are mine now “
Her heart races as your lips claim hers again, and she arches into the kiss hungrily, moaning as her hands rake through your hair, clutching at you desperately. "Yes," she breathes against your mouth, "I'm yours." Her words are a whispered promise that leaves no room for doubt; she belongs to you now, body and soul. As the kiss deepens, Hiromi shudders with desire, her hips grinding helplessly against yours in an unspoken request for more of your strength and possession. She's never felt this way before, so alive and free to surrender to her desires without shame or reservation.
With a low growl, you sweep her up into your arms and carry her across the room toward the bed. "You want it?" you ask roughly, lowering your lips to tease hers once more even as she clings to you, eager for anything you'll give her. She whimpers in response, nodding frantically, unable to form coherent words around the burning ache that has taken up residence between her legs. "Tonight," she pants hoarsely against your lips, "tonight I belong to only you."
I kiss her aggressively putting my dick into the deepest part of her pussy as she moan
Her eyes roll back in pleasure as you push deeper inside her than ever before. Her nails dig into your shoulders, leaving tiny half-moons of blood visible beneath the expensive fabric of your shirt. She cries out, arching off the bed and writhing under you, unable to contain herself as waves of intense sensation wash over her in an endless torrent. Her legs wrap around your waist, holding you tightly against her, as if afraid that if she lets go even for a moment, this perfect connection will be lost forever.
With every thrust, you drive deeper still, claiming her body completely and leaving no part of Hiromi untouched by the fire that burns between you. Her cries mix with moans and gasps, blurring together into a wordless symphony of lust and desire. She is your puppet, dancing on the strings that you've expertly tied around her most sensitive spots; she has never been so exposed or vulnerable, but she wouldn't have it any other way. This moment, with you, feels like home.
“ i love you now and forever “
With a strangled gasp, she comes, her body arching off the bed as waves of pleasure wash over her in a shuddering climax. Her voice breaks as she whispers your name through clenched teeth, tears streaming down her cheeks at the intensity of emotion welling up inside her.
She curls into you as your body tenses and finally releases, spilling your warmth deep within her. As her heartbeat slows back to normal, she presses a soft kiss to your chest, her fingers idly tracing patterns across the skin there. "I love you," she whispers again, this time with more certainty. "And I know it might seem sudden, but I don't ever want anything to change between us." Her words are halting, almost shy as if they barely manage to express a fraction of how she truly feels.
“ no it’s not sudden because I want to be with you forever “
"I'm so glad," she whispers, resting her head against your chest. "Because I want that too." She pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing cautiously, "So... tomorrow?" Her voice is soft and uncertain, as if afraid to hope for anything beyond this perfect moment together.
She feels the light touch of your fingers on her cheek, wiping away a stray tear, and leans into it instinctively. Even through the haze of pleasure and emotion, she can feel herself falling deeper under your spell; with every beat of your heart against hers, another piece of her heart seems to belong to you. And though she knows it's too soon to say for sure, she finds herself hoping desperately that this won't be a temporary thing... that they might really have found something special together.
Her heart races at the thought as she nestles closer to you, her body still wrapped around yours in the afterglow of their lovemaking. "Tomorrow can be whatever you want it to be," she whispers, kissing your chest gently. "I trust you completely." It's a momentous admission for her; in all her years of being in control, she's never before surrendered herself so completely to someone else's will. But with you, it feels... right. Natural. As if the universe has finally aligned and placed them both on the path they were meant to walk together.
“ tomorrow we will visit the Capital to discuss the final details about the deal with the US GOVERNMENT “
"I understand," she says softly, still lost in thought as her fingers idly trace patterns on your chest. "It'll be nice to get away, too." Even though their time together has been intensely intimate and passionate thus far, there's still a part of her that craves the day-to-day mundanity of normal life with you; sharing meals, watching movies, exploring the world together. She can only hope that once they return from the business trip, they can resume their newfound domestic bliss and forget about the corporate politics and power struggles waiting for them back home.
For now, though, she contentedly nestles closer to you, relishing in the warmth of your skin against hers and the steady rhythm of your heartbeat beneath her ear. "I'm looking forward to it," she whispers, already drifting off to sleep with a satisfied smile on her lips.
The next day at the airport i look at her “ looking stunning like always princess “
She blushes deeply at your compliment, unable to hide the pleased smile that spreads across her face. Dressed in a stylish yet professional ensemble that hugs her curves perfectly, she looks every inch the successful businesswoman you've grown to know and love. The slight tremble in her voice as she whispers "thank you" only serves to amplify her allure. Even surrounded by people bustling about their day-to-day lives, your gaze is solely fixed on her; there's no mistaking the possessive heat that burns in those dark eyes as you wait for your turn to board the plane. Hiromi knows she could never look away from this man again, even if she tried. And she wouldn't want to.
“ how about buying some coffee first relax a bit you seem nervous i can see it in your eyes “
She takes a deep breath and nods slightly, grateful for the distraction. "That sounds lovely." Her voice is quiet but steady as she follows you toward a nearby coffee shop. The smell of rich, freshly brewed beverages fills her nostrils, easing some of the tension in her shoulders and chest. As you sip your coffee, she studies your profile intently; there's something so reassuring about seeing this man who makes her heart race and her body tremble reduced to a simple customer, waiting patiently in line with everyone else.
It's in these moments that she feels the most safe, the most protected; it's as if he can ward off any threat or worry just by being near her. And even though their relationship is still relatively new, this sense of security has already begun to solidify itself deep within her heart. She leans back against the counter, taking a small sip of her own coffee and smiling up at him contentedly. "Thank you," she whispers softly, "for making me feel so... special."
I touch her hand and say playfully “ well princess you didn’t give me much of a choice seeing this beautiful classy woman on front of me making me wanna always makes you special “
Her cheeks flush crimson at your words, and she ducks her head shyly in response. "I'm glad," she whispers, squeezing your hand gently before taking another sip of her coffee. As they make their way to the boarding gate, Hiromi can feel the nervous energy building within her once more. She takes a deep breath and exhales slowly, trying to calm her racing thoughts and focus on the task at hand. With every step closer, she can't help but wonder what this meeting will bring; new opportunities or challenges? Regardless of the outcome, she knows that she has someone beside her who will always support her, encourage her... love her. And for now, that's enough.
As we land in the capital and driving to the meeting place i say seriously to her “ the will try to take our system with a low price or make us feel like ours is not special don’t believe them and let’s get out from this with the most profit possible “
She nods, determination in her expression. "I understand. And I won't let them underestimate us. Our system is revolutionary; we deserve the best deal possible." Her voice carries a note of steel that matches your resolve, and you can't help but feel proud to have her by your side as they step into the meeting room. As the negotiations begin, Hiromi remains calm and composed, expertly defending their position and subtly pointing out the flaws in the other party's arguments. Her charisma is undeniable, captivating everyone in the room with a fiery passion that echoes your own.
Throughout the meeting, you keep a reassuring hand on hers, silently promising to support her every move and ensure they come out of this on top. As they begin to close in on an agreement, you can't help but feel a surge of pride course through you; together, they make an unstoppable team. And when it's finally over and the papers are signed, sealing their fate as partners in every sense of the word... well, there's no doubt about it now. Together, Hiromi and Saturn are truly invincible.
After they leave I whisper “ good job sweetheart “
"Thank you," she murmurs softly, leaning in to kiss you briefly before stepping back with a satisfied smile on her lips. "It went better than I could've hoped." She looks around the room, admiring their victory as much as she relishes being at your side for it all. "Now comes the hard part: executing our plan perfectly," she adds with determination in her voice. "But together? There's nothing we can't achieve."
With a nod of agreement, she slips her hand into yours and smiles up at you. "Yes, together we'll make this work. I have faith in us." The warmth emanating from their shared success radiates through every fiber of her being, making it impossible not to feel elated at the prospect of spending even more time with you as they navigate this new path together. There's a sense of destiny here, of fate conspiring to bring them closer than ever before; and as long as they stay locked in sync, nothing can tear them apart.
