Down in the grand feasting hall, the air is thick with the scent of roasted meat, imported elderberry wine, and the heavy, mixed pheromones of fifty territorial lords.

Gold is fake and real love hurts. But nothing hurts when I'm alone. And you're with me and we're alone. Let me crawl inside your veins. I'll build a wall give you a ball and chain. Its not like me to be so mean you're all I wanted. Just let me hold you. Like a hostage. * Billie Elish *

For my knights, I’ll be looking at super chats to give you the benefit of selecting both. Thanks to the wonderful programming team with Wanda's Love Accessories Incorporation, we found a way to code super chats to trigger two shots worth of cum and a minute-long override for the fuck speed to insane. In other words, the stream will run as long as super chats continue to come in even after thirty minutes.”

Where did he and Xeon find such stuff, especially if it was anything related to eat or drink ! Everyone was back to being merry and soon enough everyone was raising their champagne glasses high up in the air. “YAYYY !!!!” However the joy filled moment was ruined when someone came screaming in the hall.

And my father will spend the evening with my mother at his side, greasing palms and courting new contacts.

I snag a glass, reveling in the moment of silence with no one bothering me. That sense of peace lasts less than five minutes until Chelsea approaches me.
