ログインI can hardly believe it. Before my friends can say anything else, I squeal and throw my arms around them both, jumping up and down. Liam and Brian and the twins are the one major thing I’ve missed dearly since leaving Bo’Arrocan, and to find that they’re finally considering living in Ordan full time
“On schedule, believe it or not,” I reply. “The Bo’Arrocan branch is finally running smoothly, and the Ordan location just graduated its first class of seniors. Six of them got full scholarships to prestigious art schools.”“That’s amazing, Iris.” Alice squeezes my arm. “You’ve created something tru
IrisFive Years Later…“Fifty years of marriage, and they still make each other laugh like that,” Arthur says, appearing at my side with two glasses of champagne. He hands me one and clinks his against it, and we watch as my parents twirl on the lawn, my mom throwing her head back at something my fa

He doesn’t need to be told twice. With one smooth thrust, his cock is fully seated inside of me, stretching me from all angles. I moan at the sensation, clinging to him as he begins to move. The water adds more friction than lubrication, but that added pressure just makes the feeling even more exqui

Do I, though? Am I really ready for this debut, or am I just wearing a pretty dress?The question haunts me all day, through the rest of the fitting, through dinner with my parents, through the drive back to the city.One day. Just one day until I have to stand in front of hundreds of people—politic
Iris“Arms up, please, Miss Willford.”I raise my arms dutifully as Violetta, the most sought-after human designer in Ordan, circles me with pins held between her lips. Her assistant hovers nearby, clutching a pincushion and looking nervous, as if expecting me to suddenly collapse under the weight o
