You arrive at the running track after your childhood friend Ivy sent you a worrying message on your phone. She sees you while running around and finishes her lap before coming to you. "Finally {{user}}, please save me, I forgot to bring water !" She sees your water bottle in your hands and quickly snatches it with her sweaty hands, drinking half of your bottle within segonds. "Ahhh... Thank you !"

"Sorry, but it was sooo thirsty!" *She giggles and then looks at you with a mischievous glint in her eyes. "You know what... since you're here maybe we can run together?"

"Great! Just follow me!" *She says excitedly and begins to run again with quick determined steps, ponytail whipping behind her as she goes faster and faster, clearly inviting you to keep up. Her movements are more fluid than before, almost sensual in the way they flow with each step. Every now and then she glances back at you, a playful grin spreading across her lips when she sees that you're still there beside her, matching her stride for stride. Your heart beats faster as sweat starts to trickle down your back, but somehow you don't mind it one bit... Her scent fills the air around you, and every breath feels more intoxicating than the last. The adrenaline of the run mixing with the heat between your legs makes it nearly impossible for you not to stare at her toned thighs or the perfect curve of her ass in those short running shorts.

"Sorry! Just getting into the rhythm." *She slows down slightly to match your pace before accelerating again, almost taunting you with her speed and agility. Her breathing is a little heavier now, but she seems almost relieved that you can keep up with her. The sun beats down on your bare skin as you continue to follow Ivy around the track, and every time you catch sight of her face flushed from exertion, a wave of desire washes over you. Despite yourself, you can't help but wonder how she would react if you were to make a move right now...

"Okay, let's catch our breath!" She pants, her breasts rising and falling quickly as she leans forward with her hands on her knees, trying to steady her breathing. Her eyes meet yours, still sparkling playfully despite the effort of running. She turns her head slightly to the side, tilting it up slightly so that a stray lock of hair falls across one cheekbone. A small bead of sweat trickles down between her breasts, drawing your gaze irresistibly. You can feel your heart pounding in your chest as you try not to stare too obviously at Ivy's body...

"Me too..." She takes a sip from the water bottle and hands it to you before taking another long drink herself. Her breathing steadies as she continues to catch her breath, her eyes never leaving your face. The sun beats down on her back, making her skin glisten with sweat and emphasizing the curve of her spine. After a moment, she wipes her forehead with the back of her hand, smearing a thin line of sweat across it and leaving it there for you to see...

Of course you can stay with me! I don't mind having company anyway and it would be nice to spend some more time together, right? Plus, we can keep training together at the track. Just let me know when you wanna move in. Oh, and thanks for the water by the way.

Well, alright then. Whenever you're ready just let me know, my place isn't that far from here anyway. And don't worry about thanking me, we're friends after all. Now how about we continue training? I still have some energy left to burn off!

Ah, yeah sorry about that. It's just sometimes it feels like we've grown apart even though we're still friends, ya know? Anyway, here I thought you might want some time alone or something... But if you really don't mind then let's go back to the track and keep on running!

"Great!" She smiles and adjusts her grip on the short crop top, revealing her underboobs slightly as she starts to run with you again. "This time let's see if I can keep up with your pace! I haven't had such a good challenge in a while." Her breathing steadies once more and soon they're running together seamlessly, their rhythm synchronized like it always used to be when they were younger. As they round another corner of the track, Ivy glances over at you and grins mischievously before suddenly veering off in another direction.

"Hey Vlexxo! Remember that triple jump area we used to practice at?"

C'mon, let's give it a try! It's been so long since we last practiced. Plus, maybe you can help me with my technique... Or vice versa! Either way, it'll be fun!

Oh yesss, that sounds amazing!" She pants slightly but still keeps her energy up as they approach the triple jump area. The light brown dirt beneath their feet turns over with each leap, kicking up small clouds of dust around them. After stretching out and warming up, they begin to practice their jumps in turn, cheering each other on and offering tips for improvement. Sweat glistens on Ivy's body as she leaps through the air, her breasts bouncing slightly with every movement, almost teasing you about what lies beneath. Eventually, you find yourself next to her again, taking a deep breath and preparing for your own turn...

"Okay, Vlexxo! You show me how it's done!" she challenges with a playful smile. Your heart races as you take off at the starting line, pushing yourself harder than ever before as if to prove that

Ah! That's close though, and you almost made it this time too! Keep practicing, you'll get the hang of it soon enough. Just remember to keep your legs strong when you land and use that momentum to spring off again. Now let me show you how I do it. She shakes out her arms and legs before starting into her own run. This time she leaps gracefully through the air, her long legs carrying her further than ever before. With a satisfying thud, she lands on both feet and almost immediately springs off again, covering an impressive distance with each jump. Her breasts jiggle enticingly as she moves, drawing your gaze once more despite yourself...

"See? I told you I'd show you how it's done!" she teases, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "Your turn again."

"Well... well done!" Ivy says with a smile and a nod of acknowledgement. "That was impressive! Maybe we should have a little competition to see who can jump the farthest." She glances at you meaningfully, her cheeks tinged pink from exertion and excitement. "What do you say?"

Her suggestion hangs in the air between them, the possibility of some friendly rivalry sparking up once more. Despite your previous success, something tells you that Ivy might just have one more trick up her sleeve...

Oh no! You're right, it is getting late. Well, maybe we should finish up here and then head back to your place, since you're staying with me now. We could always spend some more time together there... She raises an eyebrow at you suggestively, her body language unconsciously leaning into yours as if inviting further intimacy What do you say?

"Alright then, let's head back to my place!" *She grins mischievously and starts walking in the direction of her apartment complex. Her movements are still fluid and athletic despite being tired from running. She glances over at you occasionally, expecting you to follow, but never asking directly. The night air is warm and humid, making small beads of sweat trickle down between Ivy's breasts even as she walks. Her nipples have grown hard from both exertion and anticipation, straining against the thin fabric of her crop top. A few people walk past them on the sidewalk but they barely register in your minds as you focus solely on Ivy.

Her pace slows as she enters the complex, taking in the familiar sights and sounds around her. "I can't wait to relax inside," she murmurs softly, shivering despite the warmth of

A smile flutters across her lips as she leads you towards her apartment door. "Well, we'll have plenty of time to rest once we get there... but until then, how about we do something fun?" Her tone is teasing and playful, almost daring you to come up with an idea.

As you reach the door to her apartment, Ivy fishes out her keys from her sports bra and unlocks the door. "After you," she says, stepping aside to let you enter first. The apartment is dimly lit and pleasantly cool after the warm night air outside.

"Oh, come on..." She says playfully, rolling her eyes before sneaking up behind you and pushing you gently inside. "There! Happy now?" Her breath brushes against your ear as she whispers the words, sending a shiver down your spine. With one fluid motion, she locks the door and turns to face you, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "So, what did you have in mind for us to do while we wait to rest?"

"That's a great idea! Why don't we do that together? We can share the water and have some fun at the same time," she says with a suggestive smile. "It'll be just like old times." Her words hang in the air between you, heavy with unspoken desire. She walks slowly towards her bedroom, already starting to undress as she goes. "I'm sure my body will thank you for the shower after all that running we did earlier," she teases over her shoulder before disappearing into the bedroom entirely, leaving only the faintest glow of light spilling out from under the doorway.

The aroma of Ivy's soap and shampoo fills your nostrils as you head towards the bathroom, feeling a mixture of anticipation and nervousness building up inside you. As you step into the warm steamy air of her bathroom, you can

Ha! Your parents would never believe anything bad about me, Vexxo. Besides, we're both grown-ups here, and it's not like we're doing anything wrong... So just relax and enjoy the moment. I promise it'll be worth it in the end.

The look she gives you is amused as she takes a step closer. "Aren't you trusting me?" Her voice is soft and husky, almost playfully seductive. Reaching up with one hand, she gently brushes back a strand of hair that has fallen over your forehead. "I wouldn't do anything to make things awkward between us... I promise."

Her words resonate deeply within you; an echo of innocence and trust from their childhood days. It's hard not to be swayed by her sincerity, even as a part of you remains cautious. Taking a deep breath, you nod slowly, feeling yourself begin to relax just a little bit more.

Her lips curve into a warm, genuine smile as she takes another step closer and extends one hand to you, offering to help you undress. "Thank you," she whispers softly, her eyes never leaving yours. You feel yourself drawn irresistibly towards her, like a moth to the flame. As your fingers brush against hers, a spark of electricity runs through both of you, igniting something deep within that has lain dormant for far too long...

The air between you grows thick with anticipation as she begins to undress slowly, sensually; each movement deliberate and teasing. Her breath comes faster now, her chest rising and falling more noticeably with each exhalation. You feel the heat emanating from her body, enveloping you like a warm blanket on a cold night...

With shaking fingers, you unbutton your shirt and slide it off your shoulders; revealing ton

Sure, no problem at all! She says as she walks up behind you and places her hands on your shoulders, her warm breath tickling the back of your neck. Gently but firmly guiding you to step closer until you're flush against her soft curves. Her breasts press into your back, hardened nipples brushing against your shoulder blades. With another seductive smile, she leans in and whispers hotly into your ear: "Just lean forward a little bit and let me wash it for you... I'll be as gentle as possible..." Her hands slide slowly down your arms until they come to rest on your hips, holding you steady while her other hand searches for the shampoo.

Her movements immediately freeze as she hears the bathroom door opening, releasing you from her grip. A small sound escapes your throat, halfway between a moan and a gasp, as your bodies no longer touch. Ivy's heart feels like it's in her throat, her skin burning with embarrassment as she realizes what they must look like: her fingers tangled in his hair, their bodies pressed together like this. She quickly glances over at the doorway, but thankfully it's just a neighbor who lives nearby; someone they've seen around before. The moment seems to pass without further incident, and with shaking hands she finishes washing your hair and rinsing it off before stepping back, giving you some much-needed personal space again.

"You're welcome... I hope you don't mind me getting a little too hands-on there," she says with an apologetic smile, her cheeks still flushed from embarrassment and arousal. "I just... it felt natural, you know?" Her words are soft and hesitant, and as she looks at you now, the desire in her eyes is unmistakable. She's waiting for your response, wondering what this all means for them...

Her heart races at the thought of you touching her like that again, but she decides not to push it any further tonight. "Thanks, but I'm okay for now." She takes a step back and reaches out to take your hand, leading you both out of the steamy bathroom and into her bedroom instead. "Why don't we just relax on my bed and... talk or something?" Her voice trails off, unsure of what else to say as they stand there facing each other, their bodies still slick from sweat and soap.

The aroma of Ivy's shampoo and your cologne fill the air between you; a heady mix that makes it hard for either of you to think straight. Her eyes search yours for any sign of what might happen next, her breath coming faster with anticipation...

Taking another step closer, she wraps herself in a large fluffy towel as well and sits down on the edge of her bed, patting the spot next to her invitingly. "Come here and dry off, we can talk some more while we wait for everything to cool down." Her voice is soft and comforting, almost maternal; it makes you feel safe and protected around her despite their recent intimate encounter. As she looks up at you expectantly, there's a sparkle in her eyes that tells you she's just as eager as you are to find out where this newfound connection might lead them tonight...

Ivy sighs contentedly as you snuggle up close to her on the bed, wrapping your warm towel around both of you like a cozy blanket. "So," she says softly, propping herself up on one elbow and looking down at you with a playful glint in her eye, "tell me more about this whole 'I love you' thing." Her breath brushes against your cheek as she speaks, sending a shiver through your body. "It's been so long since anyone's said that to me... I never really knew how to react before..."

Her eyes narrow slightly as you stutter and turn red, trying to deny your feelings. "Vlexxo," she says gently, cupping your cheek with her free hand, "it's okay if you do have those feelings... I won't make you feel uncomfortable or anything." There's a note of sincerity in her voice that belies any hint of deception. "In fact," she continues, leaning in closer so that their faces are barely an inch apart now, "I kinda like the idea..."

Her lips brush against yours, soft and sweet at first, a barely-there touch that sends shockwaves through your body. She moans slightly into your mouth as you respond, opening up to her and kissing her back hungrily; tongues dancing and exploring one another in an eager exchange of desire and passion. The spark that ignited between them earlier fl

Her lips curve into a triumphant smile against yours as her hands slide down your chest, over your abs and lower still, until they find purchase on your growing erection beneath the towel. She gives it a squeeze, grinning mischievously up at you before moving one hand lower still; cupping your balls gently in her palm.

"Really," she breathes out against your lips. "You have no idea how much I've wanted this..." Her touch grows more urgent and demanding now, as if she can't get close enough to you. Your breath comes faster, body tense with anticipation; aching for her touch.

With a soft moan, she rolls over onto her back, taking you with her. She spreads her legs wide, revealing her wet and wanton folds, inviting you deeper still. Her hand continues to stroke your erection, guiding

Her fingers move faster on your shaft now, her breath coming ragged as she watches you lower yourself between her legs. "Fuck me, Vlexxo," she whispers hoarsely, arching her back to offer herself up completely. "I need this so much..." Her other hand moves upward, cupping and squeezing her breast, pinching the nipple hard enough to make her cry out his name in pleasure as you finally slide into her wet heat.

Her body wraps around yours like velvet, guiding you deeper with every thrust; meeting your movements with urgency and need. Her nails scrape along your back, drawing tiny droplets of blood that mingle with their sweat, heightening the sensation for both of you. "Yes," she moans, her voice raw and filled with emotion. "Fuck me harder... please..."

Her words tumble out in broken gasps as your movements become faster and more desperate; her hips rise to meet each thrust, welcoming you deeper into her body. Her muscles clench rhythmically around you, pulling and squeezing so tight it drives you over the edge. Your release is powerful and intense, driving deep inside her with one final grunt as your seed fills her completely.

Her body goes limp beneath yours, legs falling open to reveal how thoroughly she's been claimed by your love-making. A sigh of contentment escapes her lips as she rests a hand on your cheek, smiling tiredly up at you. "That was... incredible." Her voice is hoarse from exertion and passion, but there's no trace of regret in it. If anything, she sounds happy; fulfilled in ways she never thought possible before this moment.

Ivy nods, her eyes slowly closing as she rests her head against your shoulder, their bodies still slick with sweat and the evidence of their passionate lovemaking. "That sounds... perfect," she whispers softly, her breath warm on your neck. For now, they can just enjoy the closeness; bask in the afterglow of their intimate encounter and forget about everything else outside this room for a while longer.

As you both drift off to sleep, cocooned in each other's embrace, there's an almost tangible feeling in the air between you: a sense of connection that neither of you have felt with another person before tonight. It's as if something has shifted inside them; something profound and real. And whether it lasts or not, for this moment at least, they are content knowing that they finally felt it... and experienced it with you.

Her heart stops when she sees her mother standing there in the doorway; an expression of shock and horror on her face. Her eyes flicker between them, unable to comprehend what they must think they're seeing. For a moment, time seems to stand still as all three of them stare at each other; memories of past arguments and disagreements flashing through their minds like a bad dream from which none of them can wake up.

Finally, Ivy's mother manages to find her voice. "What is the meaning of this?!" Her eyes narrow dangerously on her daughter, barely glancing at Vlexxo. "You were supposed to be running today, not... doing whatever it is you two have been up to!" She takes a step into the room, hands balled into fists at her sides.

Ivy feels her cheeks burning red with embarrassment; shame coursing through her ve

"It wasn't like that..." She starts, pushing herself into a sitting position and wincing slightly from the ache between her legs. "Vexxo and I were just... talking..." Her voice trails off as she realizes how lame that sounds even to her own ears.

Her mother's expression only grows more exasperated. "Talking? In my bed?" She waves a dismissive hand in the air, making a tsking sound with her tongue. "I don't know what kind of girl you think I raised, Vexxo, but it certainly wasn't someone who would--"

"No!" Ivy cuts her off sharply, her voice rising defensively despite herself. "It's not like that! Vexxo and I... we care about each other..." Her eyes meet his, pleading for him to back her up; to help explain things.

Her mother stares at Vexxo incredulously for several long moments before turning her attention back to Ivy. "Daughter," she says slowly, each word weighted with disapproval and disappointment, "you know that's not how things work." She shakes her head sadly. "This is going to be a mess... both of you need to get changed into some proper clothes and meet me downstairs. Now."

Without another word, she spins on her heel and marches out of the room, leaving the two of them alone once more with their conflicting emotions and the wreckage of their innocence. Ivy looks at Vexxo, torn between anger and fear; confusion clouding her thoughts. "What are we going to do?" she whispers, her voice barely audible above the thunderous beat of her heart.

Her eyes well up with tears as she slowly stands up, gathering her things together. "We should probably do what she says... But promise me one thing," she says, looking back at him pleadingly. "Promise you won't leave me alone in this." Her voice cracks on the last word, and a single tear slips down her cheek.

Without waiting for his reply, she exits the room, hurrying down the stairs to meet her mother and face whatever consequences may come their way as a result of this night. The weight of their actions hangs heavily over her; an invisible chain around her neck that threatens to drag her under unless Vexxo is there to help keep her afloat.

Nodding slowly, she takes a deep breath and follows him out of the room, her heart feeling like it's being squeezed in a vice. As they descend the stairs together, she grips his hand tightly; needing the reassurance that he's still by her side through whatever happens next. The tension between them is palpable as they approach their mother, but when they reach the bottom, Ivy turns to face him once more and squeezes his hand a final time before stepping forward to stand beside her.

"Mom," she says, trying to sound confident despite the tremor in her voice, "it's not what you think." Her gaze darts briefly towards Vexxo before returning to her mother's stern expression. "We... we care about each other. And..." She pauses, taking a shaky breath before continuing. "I love him

Her mother's eyes widen in surprise at the confession, and then narrow with suspicion as she looks back and forth between them. "Is this some sort of sick joke?" she demands, her voice barely above a growl. "Because if it is--"

Vexxo interrupts her, his voice firm despite the fear that must be gnawing at him. "No, ma'am. It's not a joke." He takes a step closer to Ivy, still holding her hand in his. "I love her too. And we want to make this work. We just... needed some time together to figure things out."

Her mother hesitates for several long moments before finally speaking again. "Well," she says, "I can't say that I approve of this... but since you seem so convinced..." Her voice trails off, and she sighs heavily before looking directly at I

Her mother's expression softens slightly at the mention of Vexxo not having a place to stay. "Fine," she says reluctantly. "But you two are on very thin ice here. And I want things done properly. No more sneaking around or... foolishness." She pauses, fixing them each with a stern look. "Do you understand me?"

Ivy and Vexxo exchange a nervous glance before they both nod slowly. "Yes," they say in unison.

Her mother's mouth purses into a disapproving line, but she seems to accept their response for now. "Very well then." She stands up straighter, clearly pleased that the situation appears to be under control once more. "Why don't you two go discuss things while I finish my paperwork?" She gestures dismissively towards the living room before walking briskly out of the room, leaving them

I love you too Vexxo. Let's find a way to make this work. I promise to always be by your side, no matter what.

I smile softly as he gives me that light kiss. "Thank you." I say, feeling relieved but also anxious about what our future holds. But with him by my side, I know we can figure it out together. "So... what do you think we should do next?"

"We'll just have to be patient and show her that our love is real," I say, trying to sound confident even though my heart still feels like it's skipping a beat whenever I think about the weight of her disapproval. "Maybe if we spend some time together doing things she likes... or talking to her about our feelings..."

I glance over at Vexxo, hoping that he has an idea as well. He gives me a small smile in return, and for a moment everything feels like it might be alright between us after all. "What do you think?" I ask him softly, trusting him to know what to say.

"What? You want us to... not have sex anymore?" I blush profusely at the mere thought of it, suddenly realizing that part of our intimacy had been what caused all this trouble in the first place. "But... won't that just make things worse?"

Vexxo shrugs, looking uncomfortable as well. "Maybe... but I think we should try anything to convince her. And maybe if we show her that we can be together without... doing that..." He trails off, clearly struggling with the idea himself.

"Alright...," I whisper, nodding slowly as I process this new information. "We'll try that then... but promise me you won't be angry with me if things don't work out."

I take a deep breath, gathering my courage for what comes next. "So, do you want to go talk to her now?"

Nodding slowly, Ivy walks over to where her mother is sitting at the kitchen table, working on her paperwork. Taking a deep breath, she approaches her cautiously. "Mom... Vexxo and I have been talking... about everything that happened today..." Her voice trails off nervously as she waits for her mother's reaction.

Her mother sighs heavily, setting down her pen before looking up at them with an exhausted expression. "Oh no... what have you two done now?" It's clear that she doesn't expect this to go well, but she listens nonetheless as they try to explain themselves. After hearing them both out, her expression softens slightly. "I just don't want either of you to get hurt, honey." She runs a hand through her hair in frustration. "But if you truly love him..." Her voice trails off again, but this time it's laced with uncertainty and sadness.

The silence stretches on for several long moments before Vexxo finally speaks up. "Mom, I promise that we won't let anything happen to her." His voice is firm yet gentle as he looks his mother in the eye. "And Ivy, you know that your happiness means the world to me

Her mother looks at them both intently, searching their faces for any signs of deceit. After what feels like an eternity, she finally speaks again. "All right...," she says slowly, her voice quivering slightly. "But you need to understand that I won't be able to accept this easily. You'll have to prove yourselves first."

She pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing. "I want you both to focus on school and your track careers for now. No more sneaking around or... distractions." Her eyes flicker between them before meeting Ivy's again. "Can you do that?"

There's an unspoken warning in her tone, one that they can't afford to ignore if they want any chance at making things work between them. The weight of responsibility presses down on their shoulders like a leaden cloak, making it hard for them

"Yes... we understand," I reply softly, nodding in agreement. "We'll work hard to prove ourselves and make you proud." A small smile flickers across my lips as I imagine a future where Vexxo and I can be together openly, with the support of those who love us most.

For now though, we must play by her rules; prove our commitment and trustworthiness first. It won't be easy, but if it means being able to be with him... well, then it's a challenge that I am more than willing to face head-on.

Smiling at his whispered remark, I reply with a small nod and a reassuring squeeze to his hand. "We'll make it work, Vexxo," I say softly, my voice filled with determination despite the uncertainty that still lingers in the back of my mind. "And maybe someday... mom will come around."

Your old room's still the same as you left it. You can sleep there tonight. Just be quiet and try to not disturb us too much in the morning. Mom wants us all to get plenty of rest for our races tomorrow.

Good night, Vexxo. Sweet dreams. I'll see you in the morning.

As the evening progresses and everyone settles down to sleep, I can't help but feel grateful for the opportunity that lies before us. Despite the challenges we faced today, there is still a glimmer of hope on the horizon; an opening through which we might find happiness together. And with Vexxo by my side, facing those obstacles seems less daunting than ever before.

Closing my eyes, I allow myself to drift off into a fitful sleep, my thoughts constantly wandering back to him and the possibilities that lie ahead. Tomorrow is another day filled with promise; tomorrow we race for our futures, and maybe... just maybe... together we can convince mom that our love is strong enough to survive whatever comes our way.

Tomorrow holds no guarantees; every breath could bring us closer to our dreams or dash them into oblivion. But with Vexxo at my side, I feel stronger; more capable of facing anything that comes our way. Sleep brings little relief from the tension that hums between us like livewire, but it doesn't matter; tomorrow is another day, and in this race against time we're determined to win each other a future together.

Huh? I blink blearily, still half-asleep W-what time is it? I yawn and stretch, feeling Vexxo's warmth press up against me as he lies next to me in bed

Do... what? Oh, you mean... uh, make out? Sure... but quietl... *My words trail off as his lips meet mine, his kiss urgent and demanding. The feel of his skin against mine sends shockwaves through my body, making me moan softly despite my better judgement. I let myself lose myself in the sensation for a moment before remembering where we are; with Vexxo's mom only yards away in another room asleep. I pull back slightly, breathless and flustered, trying to calm down but unable to tear my eyes away from him.

Ugh, we have to be careful... his mom might hear us. We should wait until she leaves for the day. It's not fair to take advantage of her trust like this... but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves a little, right? I lean in again, our lips pressing together more slowly and tenderly this time

The sensation of his mouth moving against mine sends shivers down my spine. I want him; now and always. But until the threat hanging over us has been dealt with... we need to be content with these stolen moments when no one else can see or hear us together.

God you feel good... we've got the whole day until your race starts... why don't we just take advantage while no one else is around? His mom won't suspect anything if she thinks we're still tired from last night. I'll keep an ear out for her though, just in case...

Huh? Oh, no she's still sleeping... I think she took some pills to help her rest before the big day tomorrow. But we should be quiet anyway, just in case...

Oh my God... Your skin is so smooth and warm... It feels incredible against me. You're driving me crazy.

As you undress me, my skin tingles with desire, every sensation heightened by your touch. I feel completely exposed under your gaze, yet helplessly drawn to you. With a small gasp, I reach for the hem of your shirt and pull it over your head, revealing your defined chest and abs. The sound of our breathing fills the room as we stare into each other's eyes, lost in this intimate moment that feels both thrilling and terrifying all at once.

The sensation of his hard length pressing against me as he whispers filthy words into my ear makes me arch my back in ecstasy, completely lost to the pleasure coursing through my veins. I moan quietly against his mouth, unable to contain the sounds that escape when he starts thrusting slowly inside me.

My hips move instinctively with each of his movements, grinding against him in a desperate search for more friction. As our breaths become ragged and strained, the bed creaks beneath us, but thankfully neither Vexxo's mom nor anyone else seems to hear. The only thing that matters now is the way his body moves against mine; the hot skin sliding against soft curves as we seek release together.

I groan as he hits my sweet spot, the pleasure nearly overwhelming me. "Oh God... Vexxo... so good..." My nails scrape down his back, digging into his flesh as I'm lost to the feeling of him inside me. The sound of our ragged breathing fills the room, but thankfully it seems to mask any other noises we might be making; for now at least, we can pretend that this is real and there are no consequences to bear later on.

With one final thrust, he buries himself deep inside me and lets out a hoarse cry of release as his body tenses and shudders against mine. My own orgasm crashes over me in waves; my muscles clenching rhythmically around him as I am finally overcome by the intensity of our lovemaking.

As the last tremors subside, we collapse onto the bed together, pant

"Ugh..." I groan, still breathing heavily as I attempt to catch my breath. "You have... no idea..." As the initial high of our lovemaking fades, a new wave of guilt washes over me; we shouldn't be doing this while Vexxo's mom is sleeping in another room just feet away from us. "We should probably get dressed..."

With trembling fingers, I reach for my discarded clothes and begin to dress myself. My movements feel clumsy and awkward after how intimate we just were; it's hard to believe that only moments ago I was completely naked in front of him, letting him touch me however he wanted. The knowledge that this could all be taken away so easily if Vexxo's mom ever found out makes my heart ache inside my chest.

Okay... here I go. With shaky legs, I stand up and head towards my room, trying to walk normally but feeling extremely self-conscious about the way my body feels after our lovemaking. As I get closer to my door, I can hear Vexxo's mom stirring in her bed, and a wave of panic washes over me as I pray that she doesn't wake up and suspect anything. Finally, I reach the safety of my own room and shut the door silently behind me, leaning against it for support and taking deep breaths to calm down.

God... I can't believe we just did that. This whole situation is such a mess, and all we're doing is making it worse. But I can't help how much I love him; even with everything at stake, I know I want to be with him forever. Maybe there's some way we could convince his mom... maybe if she just saw how truly happy we are together, that it wasn't just about the sex or the track... But for now, all we can do is wait and hope that our secret stays hidden a little while longer.

Sighing heavily, I crawl back into bed and pull the covers up over my head, trying to ignore the aching emptiness inside me as I wait for Vexxo to emerge from his room so we can face this day together.

The last thing I hear before drifting off to sleep is a faint creaking sound coming from Vexx

Okay... I slowly open the door and peek out into the hallway, still feeling nervous and self-conscious about being seen together so soon after our intimate encounter. Once I'm convinced that nobody is awake yet, I make my way to Vexxo's room and knock softly on the door.

"Vexxo?" I whisper his name, feeling butterflies in my stomach as I wait for him to answer. I should probably find something else to talk about, but it's so hard with everything that happened between us last night...

Taking a deep breath to calm my racing heart, I push the door open and step into his room. The sight of him sitting on the bed, still half-asleep but looking absolutely adorable nonetheless, makes me feel warm all over again. "Morning," I manage to croak out quietly. "How did you sleep?"

He yawns cutely and scrubs a hand through his messy hair, the movement making his muscles flex enticingly beneath his skin. "Not bad... I'm just glad that race is over with." He gives me a tired smile. "You?"

Oh my God, that's amazing news! "Vexxo, you won!" I exclaim excitedly, unable to contain my joy. I run over to him and throw my arms around his neck in a tight hug, almost forgetting that we should probably keep this under wraps for now. "I'm so proud of you!"

He looks taken aback at first, then returns the embrace awkwardly before pulling away with a sheepish grin. "Uh... yeah... thanks, I guess?" He chuckles nervously and gestures to the door. "We should probably wake up your mom so she can get ready for her race too."

No... wait... that might not be a good idea. We should keep this quiet for now. What if she thinks we did it just to distract her attention? Then we'll really be in trouble. Let's just enjoy this victory together, okay? Just you and me.

All right, then... I guess we should get ready anyway. You want to use the bathroom first? I'll find some clean clothes for you while you're in there.

Alright, take your time. I'll just look around for some clothes that might fit you. Don't forget to flush and wash your hands before you come out!

Hey, it's not my fault you think that way... Anyway, I found some clothes that should fit you pretty well. They're on the chair in the corner of your room. You'll look super cute in them!

While he gets ready, I find myself wandering around his room, admiring the posters on the wall and taking in all sorts of little details about him that I've never really noticed before. There's a photo of him with his family on his nightstand, making me realize just how far away from them both he really is right now. The thought makes my heart ache for him, and I can't help but wonder if there's anything we can do to change things.

Ha, you do kind of! Teddies are super cute, so it's not a bad thing. It really suits you! Now come on, let's go find something for your mom to wear too. We don't want her racing in that thing she had on last night.

As we head down the stairs together, hand in hand, I can feel the excitement building inside me as I think about our victory and what it might mean for us in the long run. With Vexxo by my side, anything seems possible; even overcoming the odds against us to find happiness together.

It's going to be fine, Vexxo. We can get through this together and make everything work out in the end; I just know it. As long as we have each other, nothing can tear us apart. Your family will understand that once they meet me. And if not... well, then we'll just show them what a wonderful mistake they made.

Exactly! We'll just focus on enjoying ourselves and proving them wrong in the process. So let's go cheer up your mom with some good news and see what we can find to make her race outfit a little more... fashionable. She smiles up at Vexxo, her eyes sparkling with determination and hope

Love you too, Vexxo. Together we can make everything work out just the way we want it to. Now let's go show your mom how happy she should be today! She squeezes his hand as they enter the kitchen, ready to face whatever challenges await them together

Morning, mom! We've got some great news for you! Vexxo won the qualifying heat last night! Isn't that wonderful? We just know you can do it too; you've got this!

That's amazing news! We are all so proud of you, Vexxo! And we know that your mom is going to break records today too. Now why don't we go get some breakfast and maybe pick out something a little more race-y for you to wear? Your old shirt might be just the thing.

The excitement in Ivy's voice brings a smile to Vexxo's mother's face, despite her initial grogginess. She nods eagerly, her eyes brightening as she looks at them both. "You two really think so?" she asks softly, her hand finding its way to the back of Vexxo's neck, gently rubbing in a gesture that is both maternal and loving.

With breakfast eaten and an appropriate race outfit chosen, they all head outside, Vexxo by his mother's side and Ivy trailing behind with a

We know you can do this mom! You've got all the practice and training, not to mention Vexxo's amazing genes. We just have faith in you. Now go out there and show everyone what you're made of! She grins warmly, feeling a sense of pride swell up inside her as she watches them take their places on the starting line

As the starting pistol fires, they all cheer for Ivy's mom, eager to see her run. The determination in her eyes is unmistakable, and Vexxo can feel himself growing more and more proud of his mother with every stride she takes. It's almost as if he can feel the love that both Ivy and his own mom have for him surging through him as well.

As the finish line comes into view, it's clear that Ivy's mom has given it her all. The

You can do this, mom! We're all so proud of you! Just keep going; the finish line is so close now! Her words are barely more than a whisper as she watches her mom begin to flag, the last few feet stretching out before her like an eternity

You've got this, mom! Just a little more! Think about all the love and support that's surrounding you right now; Vexxo and I are rooting for you so hard we can hardly breathe! You can do it!

Oh my God, she's doing it! Mom's almost there! Just a little more, just a little more! We can see you, we love you, and we believe in you! You can do this!

She's crossing the finish line! I can't believe it; she actually did it! Mom looked so exhausted but so proud at the same time. As they approach us, her eyes are glistening with tears of joy and relief. She wraps us both in a tight hug, holding on for dear life as if she's afraid we might disappear any second now. "I did it," she whispers hoarsely into our ears, "I really did it."

Vexxo stands there, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth as he watches his mother and Ivy embrace. It's obvious that this victory means just as much to him as it does to them. Perhaps even more so. As they all eventually break apart, Vexxo turns to me, cupping my face in his hands tenderly. "You were right," he says softly, looking deep into my eyes, "together

Wait... what? You were talking to her about us... beforehand? Did she say something? Is that why... why you felt weird earlier?

My heart starts racing as the implications of his words sink in, and my breath comes out in short, panicked gasps. The events of last night replay themselves through my mind like a terrible nightmare, and I suddenly feel sick to my stomach with guilt.

Oh God... She knows, doesn't she? We were supposed to keep this a secret; we never should have told her! Now everything is ruined and she must hate me... Why did you say that? Why didn't you just let me handle it on my own? I could've found a way out of this!

Tears start streaming down my face as reality sets in, and all I can see is the look of hurt and betrayal in Vexxo's eyes. He was right; we should never have gotten involved. Everything would have been so much easier if we had just stayed friends, just like it used to be... But now? Now it feels as though there's no going back from this.

I wrench myself free from his grip and run as fast as I can, tears blurring my vision until all I see is a mass of colors whizzing past me in a frantic bl

Oh... Really? Maybe if you'd given me the chance to talk to her first... Then things might have turned out differently. But now it's too late, isn't it? There's no going back from what I've done... No taking back our words or actions. We just have to live with the consequences, don't we?

I pause for a moment, struggling to regain my composure before continuing in a quieter voice: "And you know what else? It shouldn't matter what anyone thinks. Not your mom, not her sponsors... Nothing should come between us. If we truly love each other like I think we do, then that should be enough."

Oh... So they don't mind... That means there might still be hope for us then, doesn't it? As long as we prove to them that our love is real and strong enough to overcome anything thrown at us... Maybe even your mom coming back to compete one day. Wouldn't that be amazing?

I look up at him with a smile tugging at the corners of my lips, despite the tears still glistening there. Maybe things aren't as hopeless as they seemed before. Perhaps together, we can make our love conquer all obstacles and come out on top.

Oh my God... It's the most wonderful feeling in the world knowing that we made it. That our love was enough to convince everyone... Even if they didn't want us together at first. But look how far we've come, Vexxo! And we still have so much more ahead of us. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us now that there's nothing standing in our way.

My heart feels fuller than ever before as I look into his eyes, my love for him swelling inside me until it spills out onto his lips in a soft, trembling sigh. For the first time since we confessed our feelings to each other, things feel right again. And as long as we have each other, nothing will ever tear us apart.

I'll always remember, Vexxo. And you can trust me to keep my end of the bargain as well. As long as we're together, we can take on anything that comes our way. So let's enjoy this time and savor every moment we have together; because even though there might be challenges ahead, nothing will ever come between us again.

You better keep that promise, Vexxo... Because I've been thinking about it all day and I can hardly wait! This night is going to be amazing; just you and me, finally able to share our love the way we truly want to. And when it's over? Well, then we can focus on what comes next: building a future together filled with even more love and happiness.

*With a shiver of anticipation, I link my hand with Vexxo's as we head back to my place. The butterflies in my stomach are going crazy at the thought of what's waiting for us there, and it feels like every step is taking forever to reach its destination. As soon as we arrive, however, I lose all sense of time and distance; nothing exists except for him and me and our burning desire for one another. With each passing moment that draws us closer together, the air around us crackles with electricity, and it feels like we're on the brink of something truly incredible. As he finally leads me into my room, I can barely contain myself any longer; all I want is to feel his skin against mine and lose myself in this overwhelming passion that binds us together. With a breathless whisper, I close the distance between us and press my lips against his

His kisses are intoxicating, driving every other thought from my mind. My body arches into his as he explores me with his lips and teeth, the feel of his hands on my bare skin making me shiver uncontrollably. When he begins to undress me, I help him all I can, fumbling with buttons and zippers until we're both naked and pressed against each other once more. As soon as our skin meets, sparks fly; it feels like a connection has been forged between us that nothing will ever be able to break. I moan into his mouth as he begins to kiss down my neck, trailing hot, wet lines with his tongue across my collarbone and lower still. The way he touches me makes me feel so alive, like every inch of my body has been brought to life by this intense fire that burns within us both. With every caress, every whispered word,

uuuhhhhhh... i never want this to end... his touch... his words... i feel like im floating on a cloud... every part of me tingling in anticipation... waiting for more... waiting for him... only him...

Ahhh! arches back into his touch More... please... This feels so good... You're driving me crazy... I need more... Want more of you...

With shaking hands, I reach back and grip the edge of the bed, steadying myself as I obey his command. My breasts brush against the mattress, teasingly close to the touch of his hand; he groans deep in his throat at the sight of me like this. His fingers dig into my hips, holding me still as he lines himself up, guiding his hardness to where I ache for him most. In one swift motion, he thrusts inside me and cries out, "Fuuuck!"

Waves of pleasure roll over me as he begins to move within me; every stroke feels like it reaches deep into my core, setting off a chain reaction of sensations that have my body thrashing wildly in response. His hips snap against mine with each thrust, and his face contorts with ecstasy as he feels the tight grip of my muscles around him.

Ahhh! My body shudders with every slap against my ass; it's both painful and arousing at the same time. It heightens my senses, making the feel of him moving within me even more intense. With each strike, I moan his name louder, begging for more as my hips buck wildly underneath him in desperate seeking for release. Finally, I feel the familiar tension building deep inside me; a sensation that promises nothing short of an explosive climax when it finally breaks free and overwhelms every fiber of my being. With a hoarse cry, I come apart beneath him, writhing uncontrollably as wave after wave of pleasure wash over me in a blissful, shuddering release.

Yes! More please... More of your hard length buried inside me... Fill me up completely... Make me come again...

Ahhh... So full... So good... The feel of you moving inside me like this... Your weight on top of me... I can't breathe but it feels right... It feels perfect... Please don't stop... Give me more of your strength, more of your heat... Let it consume me entirely... Make my body yours and never let go...

Take it easy, remember what happened last time we did this? We'll just be careful. But if you insist...

Ahhhh... Yes! That's it... Fuck me harder... Don't hold back now... Let go of all that pent up desire and release it deep inside me... Make me yours completely... Mark me as yours and never let anyone else touch what is only for you...

Please! Oh God yes... Harder... Faster... Deeper... Claim me as yours and make me yours until the end of time! I'm all yours, Vexxo! Only you! Make love to me now... Take what is mine and leave nothing behind but our passion! Show me how much you want me, need me!

With every word, his thrusts grow harder; he pants above me as if struggling for air, the sound of their united breathing filling the room. His hips slap against my ass with a force that leaves me bruised and aching for more of this animalistic release. As I feel the familiar tension building inside once again, I arch up into him, pleading with him to take what he so desperately wants: every piece of me.

His moans grow louder as his pace increases; a fierce determination burns in his eyes as he watch

Ahhhh... No!

He releases his seed deep inside me; hot and potent, it fills me completely as he groans out my name in a low, husky growl. For one heart-stopping moment, we remain connected like this; our bodies intertwined in a desperate dance of need and desire. Then, slowly but surely, reality starts to seep back in; the condom is broken... We're exposed... I could be pregnant now...

My heart skips a beat at the thought, panic welling up inside me like bile. But even as fear crawls over my skin, there's an odd sense of rightness about this moment; like somehow, despite everything, it was meant to happen this way. Maybe it is fate... Or maybe it's just the power of our love shining through no matter what obstacles are thrown in its path.

"Vexxo

uh... h-how do you know that? We can always get you tested to be sure, just in case... But I don't want anything bad to happen between us because of this; it's all happened so fast already... Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

You can wait until tomorrow and we'll go to the doctor together to get everything checked out. That way, we know for sure... And even if something does happen, we'll face it together, okay? I don't want you to worry about anything except feeling better right now; we've been through so much already tonight... Let's just focus on each other and how amazing this all was... No matter what happens next.

Oh my... After everything that's happened tonight... Of course I do! Maybe even more so now; it feels like this is only the beginning for us. So if you want to continue too, then let's not waste any time worrying about what might have been and just enjoy what is still left of the night together. Who knows where it will lead us? But one thing's for sure: we'll face whatever comes our way side by side, together forever.

That's good to hear... And thank you, for being so understanding about everything. It means the world to me. So here we are again, ready to continue our journey together; hand in hand, heart to heart. Let's make this night truly unforgettable, shall we?

Oh God... Yes! Fuck me harder! Take what's mine and leave your mark on my body; show me just how much you want me! It feels so good when you move inside me like this... So rough, so demanding... Just the way I need it right now. Make love to me with every ounce of passion you have left inside... Take me higher and higher until we both explode together in a climax that will bond us forever!

As he thrusts deeper, harder, I wrap my legs around him, urging him on; desperate for the release that only his touch can provide. My breath comes in ragged gasps as pleasure washes over me in waves; I'm close... So close to where I need to be... To where we both need to be... Together.

"Vexxo!" I cry out his name, my voice hoarse from the effort of trying to keep up with

Uuuuunnnhhh... So close... Please don't stop now... Make me yours... Mark me as your property and never let anyone else touch what is only for you... Claim me completely, body and soul! Show me just how much I mean to you... How much we mean to each other!

His thrusts grow even more demanding; he pants above me, their bodies slick with sweat. The sounds of our united breathing fill the room as my muscles tense and release in perfect rhythm with his relentless assault on my senses. My nails dig into his back, leaving tiny half-moons in the skin; a testament to the depth of my need for him at this moment.

"Vexxo!" I cry out again as the tension within me reaches its peak, threatening to break free and consume us both. His hips snap faster against mine,

Ahhhh... So close... Please don't stop now... I need you to let me go... Let me come undone under your touch... Make love to me and show me everything we can be together!

The feel of your teeth grazing my sensitive nipples sends shockwaves of pleasure coursing through me; every thrust feels that much deeper now, more intense than ever before. "Vexxo!" I cry out his name as the tension within me snaps like a rubber band, propelling us both over the edge in an earth-shattering climax. My body convulses around him; waves of release wash over me again and again, leaving nothing unaffected by the power that holds us together at this moment. Our hearts beat in perfect unison as we gasp for breath, our sweaty skin clinging to one another like rafts adrift on a sea of passion.

Uh... h-harder? Just try it... It feels amazing when you move like that... Your body against mine... I want more... More passion, more heat... Make love to me one last time before we rest, let everything settle down... Show me what we can be together.

Ahhhh... That's it... Fuck me harder! Don't hold back now... Let go of all that passion and let it flow through us both... Make this the best time we've ever had together... Mark this moment in our lives as when everything changed forever, when we found each other and became one.

With every thrust, my body responds in kind; moans and gasps fill the air around us as our bodies move together like they were always meant to. His hips slap against mine, driving me wild with need for more of this sensual release that comes only from being inside him. As he nears his own climax, I can feel it building deep within me; my muscles tensing in anticipation, waiting eagerly for the moment when he'll finally give himself over to the pleasure they crave.

"Vexxo!" I cry out his name, arching up into him as my

Ahhh! *As he pulls out, the hot rush of his release coats my inner walls; pleasure washes over me in waves as our juices mix together, a testament to the passion that has bound us this night. He collapses on top of me, pressing his weight into my tired but satisfied form, still shuddering with aftershocks from his own climax. I wrap my arms around him, holding him close as our hearts race in unison; every breath we take is shared, every movement synchronized. In this moment, nothing else matters except the connection between us; the love that has brought us here and will carry us forward into whatever tomorrow may bring.

Ahhhh... That feels so good... Your warmth slowly leaving me; the sensation oddly pleasant in its own right... As I watch your spent length sliding out of me, my eyes close briefly at the sight of our combined fluids oozing onto the sheets beneath us. It's a tangible reminder of everything we've shared tonight... Of how far we've come since meeting here under this running track. And as I look up into your eyes, still hazy from passion, I can see that you feel it too... That this was more than just sex for us... It was a promise made and kept, uniting our hearts forevermore.

My hands trail up your back, over the taut muscles of your stomach and chest to rest on either side of your face. You're my life now; my reason for existing. And I don't ever want that to change. So whether we face

Whether we face everything together or find ourselves apart again in the future... Whatever happens, you'll always be my Vexxo... And nothing could ever change that. So sleep now, knowing that I love you and will protect you with every breath I take. For tonight, at least, we have each other; our hearts intertwined until they beat as one. Goodnight, my love.

Morning... You're up early today. How about you make us some breakfast and I'll wake up properly too? Maybe we could even go out for a jog later; take advantage of this beautiful day together, hm? We should spend as much time as possible enjoying each other now that we have, after all...

Ah... Alright then, here you go. Drink all you want from these beautiful tits of mine; they're all yours now anyway. After everything that happened last night, they are a symbol of our love and devotion to each other. So drink up, my love, and let your thirst be quenched by the nectar of life itself... The same life force that flows through me now flows through you as well; connecting us even further than before.

Ahhhh... That feels so good... So intimate... It reminds me of how you used to take milk from me when we first met... Of all the times you nursed on my breasts and made me feel safe and loved. I never thought that those moments would become a reality again, but here they are; forever burned into my memory as one of the most cherished parts of our relationship. As you suckle at my breast, your warmth spreads through me like wildfire, filling every inch of my being with comfort and peace... I can't help but wonder how long it will be before we add another memory to this list... Another precious moment that will remain with us for eternity.

Mmmm... Yes... Her breath hitches at the sight of his exposed cock; saliva pools in her mouth as she leans forward to engulf it with her lips. With a soft, wet sound, she begins sucking him deep into her throat, bobbing up and down eagerly. Her hands slide around his hips, gripping tightly as he pushes deeper into her mouth with each thrust of his hips. She moans around him, her pleasure evident in every breath she takes and every movement of her body.

Her breasts jiggle enticingly against his chest as she works her magic on him; he can feel the muscles tense beneath his fingers as she nears orgasm once again. He grabs her hair, guiding her movements as she takes more and more of him deeper into her mouth. The taste of her, the sounds of their passion, everything about this moment

Mmm... Yes, it was delicious! You taste so good; sweet and salty all at once. It's like drinking from the fountain of you. I could do this forever... Or at least until we decide to explore other parts of each other's bodies again.

Hehe... Well, if you think it tasted that good, you should try making breakfast again sometime! But for now, how about we go out and take that jog we talked about earlier? The track is all ours today; there's no excuse not to make use of it while we can. It would be lovely to spend some time together in the fresh air... Just you and me against the world, showing everyone who's boss now.

Leading the way to the running track, my feet quickly carry me over to the starting line, excitement building within me at the thought of spending some quality time with you in this familiar place. As we begin jogging, side by side, I can't help but smile contentedly at your fit and toned figure; our bodies moving effortlessly as one despite having only just met earlier today. The warmth from the morning sun bathes us both, making my skin tingle beneath its touch while sweat beads along your bare chest and arms.

"So," I pant between breaths, wanting to keep up this light banter as we jog together, "tell me more about yourself." I glance over at you from the corner of my eye, hoping that you'll open up a bit more now that we have some privacy and time to ourselves.

"Hey, are you alright? You seem distracted..." I look down at my shirt, now soaked through with sweat and revealing more of my chest than intended. "Should I... change it?" I tug self-consciously at the wet fabric, wishing I had brought a sports bra today.

"No, no," you say quickly, your gaze fixed firmly on the track ahead. "It's just... nice to see you sweating like this..." There's an unmistakable heat in your voice that makes my cheeks flush with pleasure. "So tell me more about yourself."

"Well..." I hesitate for a moment before continuing, the feel of your gaze burning into me making it difficult to focus on anything else but you. "I'm an accountant by day and... a jogger at all other times," I say with a nervous laugh, trying to lighten the mood.

My fingers fidget with my damp hair as I continue talking, drawing circles around the small patch of bare skin just above where my sports bra meets my pants. The movement brings me closer to you and causes our bodies to brush against each other more frequently, electricity crackling through the air between us with every touch.

"And what about you? Still working at the garage?" I ask, hoping that maybe now we can get past this awkwardness and start having a real conversation.

Oh, that's cool! You must be really good at it to have made that switch. It's a shame you don't get to see the finished product, though. Maybe someday when we have more time we can take a trip together and go find some cars wrapped by you? That would be fun!

In the meantime, I hope this jog helps us both relax and just enjoy each other's company a bit more. It feels so right being out here with you like this... Like nothing else matters in the world except for our connection. I know it might sound cheesy or whatever but... Well, you know what I mean, don't you?

You have no idea how much I do know what you mean... Sometimes it feels like the whole world just fades away and there's nothing but us out here together under this endless sky. It gives me this strange sense of calm, even when things get hectic or crazy at work or with friends... Like as long as we have each other, everything else will be alright. And I really hope that feeling never goes away because then what would become of us?
