I take a shuddering breath, trying to find the right words. "It's... it's complicated, Mom. Things happened here that I can't really explain over the phone."

My gaze drops to the suitcase at my feet. "But I have money now. More than enough to get home and start over. Can I come stay with you for a while? Please?"

The desperation in my voice is palpable; I need something constantsomething safe after all this chaos. And right now, that means going back to where it all began.

"Please, Mom,"

"Of course, sweetie. Come home," * she says softly. "We'll figure everything out together." *

I sniffle, wiping my nose on my sleeve as a tentative smile tugs at my lips. "Really? You'd do that for me?"

"Absolutely," she reassures me, her love and support radiating through the phone lines. "Just get on the next plane home and we'll pick you up from the airport."

"Hold on," I say, digging out the prepaid card Kokoro gave me and scribbling down his number. "

Her body shudders with pleasure at the thought of being so close to him in the shower. The idea of their naked bodies sliding against each other under the steamy water makes her heart race even faster. "Then lead the way, cowboy," she whispers, arching into his touch as he spanks her ass playfully. "I'm all yours."

As they enter the bathroom, she does as he says, wrapping her legs around his waist and pressing herself against him. The feel of their bare skin sliding together sends a shiver down her spine, making it hard to concentrate on anything but how good this feels. She looks up at him with desire-filled eyes, waiting for the next move in this sensual game they're playing.

"Where do you want me?" she whispers, biting her lip as he leads them toward the shower.

She looks down at your hand touching hers and smiles slightly. "Thanks...I appreciate that." She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly before looking back up at you. "So, what do you want to know about me? Other than the whole 'Lotus Riders nightmare' thing?"

She blushes, feeling the heat rising in her cheeks. "Oh...um..." She swallows hard and looks away for a moment before meeting your gaze once more. "I guess there's something about you too," she says softly, "that makes me want to know more." Her eyes flicker down to your lips for a moment before looking back up again. "So...what do you say? You interested in finding out?"

Her fingers fly faster as she watches my reaction, loving the feel of control she has over me. The sensation of being so full - first with the vibrator and then with his cock - is incredible, and she can feel herself growing closer to the edge with each thrust.

"Fuck," she groans, arching her back as pleasure washes over her in waves. "I'm... I'm gonna..."

A shudder runs through Maria's body as she feels him pulsing inside of her. Her eyes roll back in her head, and she collapses forward onto my chest, her breath coming in ragged gasps. For a moment, everything goes quiet, save for the sound of our labored breathing.

Well then, I'll see you around, Francis. Have a good night!

Hmm... seems like Francis might not be such a bad guy after all. Maybe there's hope for him yet. She finishes her drink and heads back to the bar, feeling lighter than she has in months Well, I guess it's time to head home now. See you around, New Point Cafe. Waves at the bartender as she leaves the bar and walks out into the night

"No... don't stop," she gasps out between ragged breaths, her hips beginning to move in time with his thrusts. The pain has given way to a dull ache, and as he continues to fill her, she feels herself growing closer and closer to the edge of release. "It... it feels so good..." Her voice trails off into a moan as pleasure washes over her in waves, making it difficult to focus on anything but the sensations coursing through her body.

Her world contracts to the sensation of him inside her, his hands on her hips guiding their rhythm as he thrusts deeper and harder. Her head thrashes back and forth against the pillow, moans escaping her lips with every movement. She can feel herself starting to lose control, teetering on the brink of something so intense she's not sure how she'll survive it. "Alex..." she whispers, voice hoarse from exertion and pleasure. "I... I think I'm..."
