“Ugh!”0152cc1f72fc0969

I wanted to escape, but my body wouldn’t move. For proper mucous membrane guiding, waves had to be exchanged while the membranes were in contact. But this felt more like an act of predation than guiding.f08910c1a8f0c813

The blood pooled in Lee Gyeon’s mouth invaded mine. What flowed down my lips was both blood and saliva. Lee Gyeon held my shoulder firmly and wouldn’t let go.79d4557e2348f485

His blood-soaked a5e5101332 tongue roughly f6341a5a84 probed my 507d41f3ab throat. I felt fbe2e9fe4c like I 5035d0bf9f was suffocating, 046e5386f0 like I b89ef979a1 was about a61a0810a3 to be bdcfa06c3c swallowed whole.3f79f513eeb92014

Lee Gyeon greedily c52d89962c absorbed my energy. It felt like my e7b7f81cea life force was being 7a2633b88f sucked out from the c29ca106f2 tips of my limbs.

When Lee Gyeon started sucking on my lips with a vulgar sound, I thought I didn’t care what happened. Was guiding supposed to feel good for the guide too?829ac138999ef862

I grabbed Lee Gyeon’s restraint suit and tilted my head. The seesaw between guiding and kissing wouldn’t stop its fierce weighing. When Lee Gyeon’s hand wrapped around my waist and slithered up like a snake, a sharp voice snapped me back to reality.e3173c86b9cdf01b

Cha Eunha, waiting outside, 3910c2efc5 grabbed my waist and 9654903d5f lifted me. For a moment, it fc1c8201cc felt like I was a5a325b04e on a ride.

Cha Eunha, who lacked guiding, was also pale. I didn’t want to rely on an injured person, but I lacked strength. Cha Eunha held me tighter. I reluctantly leaned on him and caught my rough breath.8e49ccdff1689fe9

The second 61516df868 control room 4ef501c00d was more 22d97a1eaa human than e9afbddb3d the first c8e9ae841b control room ea4c6b0c15 used by dd25ecb896 Lee Gyeon.
