“I can’t stay” from the prompt list. HURT ME, PAL.

Tip Jar ��

ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE! 😤

also me like ohhhhh i know, i know....you want vidaltofuckagneswithherownstrapigetitIGETIT

"I can't stay."

Agnes felt her stomach drop and the instant warmth of embarrassment and fear cover her neck and face. That three word sentence knocked the wind out of her when Agent Vidal mumbled it under her breath in the early morning light that peeped through the blinds and casted stray lights over them in bed. Vidal was still wrapped up in the navy sheets when she spoke and knew in that moment, Agnes was awake beside her.

Vidal knew Agnes had been awake for quite some time and it was only now, that Vidal had gotten the guts to speak what needed to be said.

Agnes tried to shift closer to Vidal under the covers; tried to reach her hand out to touch Vidal's arm. She wanted to pull her in close and hold her tight and maybe someway that simple act would make the agent change her mind. She knew it was futile; knew that Vidal was pretty clear on her decisions. That was something Agnes admired in the other woman, the way she would come to a conclusion and hold it tight and very rarely, if ever, sway from what she believed in. For once, Agnes wished she could stray from her determination.

"Why?"

Barely a whisper and close to a sob; Agnes had to clear her throat to keep herself in check. She wasn't going to crumble now; not so early on. She couldn't show Vidal that she was weak or soft and that, something like this, something so routine was going to break her. That was a death sentence Agnes believed, a sure way to never have Vidal come back to her in such capacity as this.

"Why, Vidal?"

Another passing moment of silence and Agnes heard the sheets rustle beside her as the agent tried to move away once more. She could tell Vidal was on the cusp of possibly changing her tune; maybe even thinking over what it would mean if she did stay with her. How much would she lose? How much could she possibly gain? Would she want this for another day longer with Agnes and, was it worth it? Was she worth it? Agnes held her breath and waited for Vidal's answer to hopefully make itself known.

No words came out of Vidal's mouth but she did turn herself over to face Agnes in the semi-dark room. She could see the pain and worry and defeat etched into the detectives face; lines of worry and loss that must lay there countless times over and over in moments exactly like this. How many other women had she brought to her bed and pleaded the same words? How many other woman had she asked to stay and they, couldn't give Agnes what she wanted?

Could she do that now for her and would she want to? Was this something she thought would be a good idea in the long run? Would Agnes think it would be good for them, to continue on this way? Two people working in different capacities with different lives and histories that started off pretty rocky, pretty tumultuous.

Vidal swore Agnes hated her guts the first day she walked into the police station. Vidal swore even in this second that Agnes still hated her guts; held something over her because she was a little 'higher up' and a little more 'polished'. She held things against Vidal because she didn't come across as hard and rough and filled with obvious pain and grief. Vidal was the light that Agnes shielded her eyes to. Would she want the light in for longer than a night? Longer than a day?

Vidal watched as Agnes' face changed; something stoic and nonchalant. The usual mask she wore at work that deemed her a 'hard-ass' and 'not easy to get along with'. Cold and calculating and maybe a little bit laced with pride, Agnes pushed the sheets away that covered her and exposed her naked self. Vidal eyed her hungrily; soaked in all the lines and curves and swells of the detectives' body like it was the first time she was seeing her naked. It truly felt that way and Vidal, caught the lump in her throat.

It was risky and maybe even a little pathetic but Agnes didn't care in that moment; couldn't let her decision make her second guess herself and how badly she needed to show Vidal that she was meant to stay with her. She hovered over the Agents' body before making her way down in a familiar way she had done just hours ago when the room was darker and the light from the lamp casted a warmer glow. The detective heard Vidal suck in her breath as Agnes made contact with her skin; lips pressed against her as she kissed her way down starting from Vidal's neck.

Vidal could only listen to her body and what it wanted, what it craved. It craved Agnes; again and again. Over and over. It was like a disease; an addiction. She wanted to go and move on but she knew truly she could never; so tangled up in this mystery of this woman she was so determined to crack open. Maybe that was the agent in her or maybe, it was because she saw so many things on the borderline of being so in sync and so similar to herself it made her afraid.

Agnes, she realized as the detective made her way down and nipped at her hip bones, was exactly like her.

"Agnes..."

The detective quickly looked up at the agent and tried to read her face; tried to determine then and there if she was going to stay or not. The slightest head nod and curve of Vidal's lips gave Agnes the answer she had been hoping for. She bowed her head once more and continued until she got just below Vidal's navel; lifting her head back up and pulling her body away.

She wanted Vidal to chase and beg; wanted her to show and tell Agnes that yes, her choice was hers and she needed her and the decision to stay was final. She didn't need to leave and break off whatever it was they had now. Agnes needed it so badly as her gaze burned into Vidal's naked body that had been uncovered by the sheet seconds ago. They were both vulnerable and naked; both baring their souls and hearts out to one another. Agnes suddenly felt lightheaded as she sat back onto her legs and watched Vidal very, very closely.

A predator waiting to strike its prey; she watched closely what its next move would be.

Vidal moved from her spot in Agnes' bed; pulled herself up to her hands and knees and crawled towards Agnes. Her hand reached forward and gripped the base of Agnes' cock that was still set between her legs. She hadn't taken her harness off before falling asleep last night. Had told Vidal that she wanted her to feel her press up against her while they slept.

It was not lost on the agent that this was a part of Agnes she could not sever nor fully remove. This was how she saw herself and Vidal, understood Agnes completely.

A shaky breath pushed from Agnes' lips as she stared down and watched as Vidal stroked her off. Slow and precise her hand moved while Vidal, brought herself closer. Her lips made contact with Agnes' stomach as they kissed under her navel and out to the sides until she met her hip bone. Kisses turned soft bites and she felt Agnes push her hips towards Vidal's hand; a reaction to internal even Vidal didn't question it.

"...tell me what you need..."

Maybe they had both said it at the same time but it was a question that posed between them in both of their minds simultaneously. Agnes wanted to do whatever she could to keep Vidal here and Vidal, wanted to do whatever she could to show to Agnes that she wanted to be there.

They moved in tandem as Agnes' hand ran through Vidal's hair and Vidal, moved her head down to the base of Agnes' cock before her mouth made contact with the head. There was a unity they couldn't break; unspoken in their mutual understanding of one another even if they didn't recognize it right away.

The pang and twitch between Agnes' legs that shot up right through her clit and made her moan as she tugged a little harder on Vidal's hair. The heaviness in Vidal's throat and the saliva that pooled under her tongue made her moan as she took more of Agnes into her mouth. They were playing a game only they understood; something that had existed in them long ago that they couldn't place.

Vidal pulled herself away; unwound the fingers in her hair and released the silicone from inside of her mouth. She gasped loudly as she tried to catch her breath; looking up at Agnes with only what could be described as a look of desperation. Agnes felt that burning pit of desire in her lower abdomen only spark and grow higher, wilder.

Vidal reached forwards again and grabbed the base a second time. Her left hand came to join her right as she carefully removed the toy from its nest inside of the o-ring. She could cut the silence in the room with a knife and could sense the curiosity that burned inside of Agnes only growing with each passing second. She removed the toy fully and left Agnes bare with just the harness around her hips. They locked eyes for only a split second before Agnes gave the quick nod of her head and the outwards jut of her chin before she untucked her legs from underneath herself to lay back down onto her bed.

Agnes had at one point, thought Vidal to be too green to push herself in any which way that wasn't by the books. She had debated if she could even tap into the sort of things that filtered through Agnes' head; things she hadn't even dared to speak out loud. Such things, she had never said to anyone; no partners or hook-ups before. Thoughts and feelings and emotions that lived in the deepest, darkest parts of her mind that she barely touched.

Vidal got behind her and pressed herself up close; tangled her legs with Agnes' as she dropped her left hand over the woman's side so that she could reach up and cup her breast as she teased the toy between Agnes' legs at the same time. She held the base still as she used the head to trace around Agnes' labia and upwards to her clit. Sharp sucks of breath that sounded icy caught in Agnes' throat and Vidal, brought her face into the crook of Agnes' neck. Agnes pushed backwards while Vidal kissed and licked and sucked at Agnes' tender skin. The second Vidal bit down onto Agnes' earlobe was when she felt the different sensation of weight on the other end of the toy and realized, Agnes had grabbed the front of it and was guiding it into herself.

She was impatient; that was a fact that Vidal had learned very early on with working with the detective. Agnes wasn't one to sit on her hands and hope something would come along. Always the first to pounce, to move. She had to take a crack at things before anyone else even realized they could. She guided her own cock inside of herself and pressed back into Vidal; pressed hard until she could feel just how wet Vidal was as well on the back of her legs and against her ass. Vidal moaned into her ear as she kept her hand holding the base of the toy as well; didn't want to let go just because Agnes took the other half of the control they both so eagerly fought for.

"...that'sitAgnes...keepgoing...keepfuckingyourself...keepgoing..."

Up against her ear with the wetness of Vidal's breath against her, Agnes pressed herself back once more and tried her hardest to feel every inch of Vidal's hot and sweaty skin pressed to her own. It was a necessity of needing to absorb Vidal; become meshed so perfectly together she could feel the agent inside and out of herself. The silicone cock with their hands both holding the shaft and pumping it was merely an extension of what Agnes felt inside and the desire to have Vidal stay.

It was no longer just an extension of herself, Agnes came to realize as she tightened up her muscles around herself. She could feel the pressure building until it was close to spilling over the edge; her toes and fingers curling as they tried to hold onto something while her head pushed harder into Vidal's shoulder she was sure her bones would crack under the pressure. The phantom limb that made itself known and familiar to her was not hers any longer but theirs. This extension, transcended her own body in such a way that when Vidal used it, it had become hers, too.

Vidal's movements got harder and rougher; faster which caused Agnes' hand to go limp and fall off. She basically rolled over and Vidal followed until she was on top of her now with her hand reaching around Agnes waist to keep up the movements as she fucked her down into her mattress. Face pushed down and fingers gripping at the navy sheets, Agnes felt her eyes close and her mind clear and the sudden realization washed over her as her orgasm did that Vidal, was not going anywhere she wouldn't be.

My Main VBUCKS Lesson

'My Child Spent £150 On Fortnite'

Fortnite is one of the most popular activity in state, with an estimated 12m+ active monthly players. Fortnite policies and credit aren't being marketed widely on top darknet marketplaces, from what I found. They're on Ebay They're on They're on Selly. How much money is anybody getting off this? Hackers I met with say everywhere from $50 to $900 a week, depending on what good your software exists and the amount time you have. V-Bucks can be earned in Fortnite by completing daily in-game challenges or bought online.

As mentioned before, all issues contributing Fortnite's success are intertwined. Here's a sum up in one word: A free-to-play game that's easy to understand and is great joy to perform along with friends. That here is the reason why Fortnite completely puffed up. Fortnite Battle Royale's setting is smart with unusual, with a storybook quality. PUBG was originally a big hit with the PC gaming crowd, eventually migrating to a specific console platform with a $30 price. Fortnite Battle Royale is free.

Demands the basis game Fortnite on COMPUTER in order to performance.

Unlike another v-bucks generator our Fortnite generator is suitable with Opportunities, Linux, Android, iOS, and can be used happening many means including smartphones, tablets, iPhones, ipads, with ordinary desktop computers. Thus, this last a different tradition in which everyone can make use of our generator tool.

3 Guilt Free VBUCKS Tips

Fortnite gift certificate is a pre-paid card. The credit card contains signs for a pair sum of V-Bucks. Fortnite is far from the first or single competition to carry out that place going on. Last year, Naked Security reported that many free-to-play activity in mobile means were actually being pursued and used in the same make with fraudulent credit card purchases of virtual currency to be resold on third-party markets at a lower price.

When Fortnite: Battle Royale developed, the similarities between the two became wasted about public. Chang Han Kim, CEO of PUBG Corporation, slammed Epic for "replicating" the game with endangered to take further action. The matter was confused by the fact that PUBG uses Epic Games' Unreal Engine. The PaySafeCard is great payment choice for gamers who don't have a PayPal credit or credit card available to buy V-Bucks. They change easily between different currencies and are undertaken by virtually many games, including Fortnite.

It's a very predictable thing to happen, but this fact is worth celebration anyway - Fortnite Battle Royale PvP for 100 players is finally ported to iOS, and Machine mobile systems with most PC version features entered. That release confirms, to mobile devices can be used as gaming consoles of full respect. The leaks put new gas to the already heavy flames of speculation that Epic Sports take one thing good designed for the upcoming winter term in Fortnite, which many state estimated may contain snowy terrain.

Where To Start With VBUCKS

To perform Fortnite to its broad potential, you don't really need a very good PC. The biggest advantage Epic Games cover with Fortnite is the cartoon art way they selected, that does not require a great deal of hardware even though it provides a good overall experience. Fortnite players are ended through community media scammers who are using websites claiming to offer free in-game currency, known as V-Bucks, to take over considerations and appropriate personal data.

Investigators from Malwarebytes showed in April that scammers are developing data-stealing malware as well as cryptocurrency-stealing malicious value in targeted strikes against Fortnite gamers. For 4K contest with Fortnite and other activities, however, something with a little more processing strength is recommended. Such as the i7-9700K or at least the i5-9600K would be a solid option regarding a higher-performing rig.

Now that Fortnite is a total sensation vbucks generate fortnite many dishonest players are trying to take advantage of participants that need to get some new in-game gear. There are dozens of unofficial sites, youtube tapes, and put up in social media to agreement free V-Bucks. It's likely that every single one of these are fake. Casual gaming aside, Fortnite is a fundamental question. New products can cause controversy if they don't secure the authorization on the community the ones who show in a un-sportsperson-like approach can be the subject of online opprobrium - even when they stop in-game records in the process.

According to Epic, it will "play as a free item for you to state in the in-game Fortnite store" once you get performed the game. Whether this as basic as put in the request on the call is uncertain, but it looks pretty straightforward each respect. The schedule is to ensure all the required DLLs are present to the treatment you want. With Fortnite, this could happen many; the position is to allow Epic Games' own tools do the work.

How To Get Free V Dollars In Fortnite? This is the problem which suddenly being increased by the many Fortnite Game Participants. The logic is because; with V Bucks, you can easily access all the articles in Fortnite game. Along with main quest line you also get side quests in fortnite to finish, The magnitude v bucks will be reduced and they could go away faster. So if you find a side quest which is awarding you v bucks then try to end that on the same day.

The stolen cards are used to buy V-bucks, the personal currency in Fortnite. Typically, V-bucks are obtained to buy in-game outfits, weapons, emotes and other things in-game. For Fortnite and Epic Games, V-bucks have been a huge revenue course, with over $3 billion net profit for Epic Sports in 2018. Fortnite gives everyone being up until stupid times in the morning. I've not been this way with a game while Black Ops.

Floor Sitting: Do You Spend Enough Time on the Ground?

A while back, I developed an interest in the “archetypal postures” of ground-based sitting, squatting, and kneeling. My interest persisted, and I thought a full-on post about the potential benefits and logistics of floor sitting would be fun and helpful.

I’ve found that there aren’t very many studies examining the effects of floor sitting, kneeling, and squatting on health, posture, or pain. You’ve got the “stability ball literature” (long story short: sitting on a stability ball tends to “increase the level of discomfort”), 7but sitting on an inflated unstable sphere is more physiologically novel than a regular chair. I’m not sure there’s much benefit and it looks pretty silly. There’s also a brief study8 that showed sitting in a backless chair improved levels of consciousness in patients with prolonged consciousness disturbance. For the most part, though, it’s a pretty barren landscape of research.

I think that’s okay. I’m not entirely convinced we always need research to confirm what we already (should) implicitly know.

As Babies, We Start on the Floor

Sometimes hard data isn’t really needed, especially when you consider two unassailable facts about our relationship with the floor. First, individually, we all start out on the floor. As babies, we lie there, essentially kicking things off as eating, pooping sacks of wiggling, basically immobile flesh. Then, we graduate to flipping over onto our stomachs, lolling our heads around (once we develop sufficient neck strength), crawling toward vacant electrical sockets, hesitantly standing, and finally walking. It’s on the floor that we learn to move. We may not be doing terribly complex or impressive stuff down there, but that first year or two is incredibly formative for the rest of our movement lives. We’re building a foundation made primarily of contralateral crawling and “tummy time.” Graduating beyond the floor to full on bipedalism doesn’t mean we should totally ignore where we came from.

Chairs are a Recent Invention

Second, chairs only recently became part of our lives. Folks as early as the ancient Egyptians had them, but they were a luxury item reserved for the upper classes. Your average Neolithic human sat on chests or benches until chairs became a mass-produced staple that everyone could afford. Earlier than that, for most of human history, formal-sitting furniture simply didn’t exist. Paleolithic posteriors surely rested upon rocks and logs and stumps when the opportunity arose, but those aren’t the same as having permanent fixtures that allow you to take a load off whenever you want. Human bodies were not designed with chairs in mind. We did do a lot of lounging around – I’m not arguing we never stopped moving or anything – but we did so on the ground, rather than on a bunch of folding chairs.

Sitting down in a chair does funny things to our bodies. It stretches out our glutes, making them inactive, loose, and weak. People by and large no longer know how to activate their butt muscles due to excessive amounts of chair sitting. Sitting in a chair also keeps the hip flexors in a short, tight, contracted position for extended amounts of time, which can inhibit full hip extension and lead to that hunched over position you often see older folks shuffling around with. And that’s not even mentioning the extensive (and growing) literature showing how sitting for too long increases mortality and degenerative disease, which I’ve covered in plenty of posts and Weekend Link Loves. This post isn’t really about that, anyway.

What might be most important, though, is what sitting in a chair doesn’t do. It doesn’t allow us to rest in the full squat position, an ability we’re born with but quickly forget how to do. It doesn’t let us do much of anything. Sitting becomes a totally passive act, where we’re slumped over, shoulders rounded, feet twisted up and resting on the chair legs, totally dependent on the structure of the chair to support our weight – rather than using our musculature and arranging our skeletal system in such a way that we support ourselves. Doesn’t it seem inconceivable that an animal – any animal – would evolve to require furniture in order to rest comfortably without incurring a disability?

That’s partly why it makes some sense to hang out on the floor more.

6 Floor Sitting Positions to Better Align Your Body

We need the “stress” of supporting our own body weight and making sure our structures are in alignment. Here are a few positions to try out:

Squat

Seiza

Half kneel

Crossed legs

Crossed legs variation

Make up your own

Resting Squat

Squats are the default resting position of humans. Kids can do this easily, but once they start going to school and sitting in a chair for six hours a day, they lose it. The goal here is to get your heels on the ground. Resting on the balls of your feet is easier, but it’s harder on your knees and thighs. The heels-down squat, which requires more flexibility but distributes the pressure across your hips, is far more sustainable.

Seiza

Seiza is the formal way to sit in Japan, resting on the lower legs, butt on heels. Placing a small pillow or rolled up towel under your knees can make the transition easier, especially if you have a bad knee or two.

Half Kneel

Like seiza, except one of your feet is on the ground, heel down, in front of you in a squat position. Like these guys.

Crossed Legs

For many people, this is the most comfortable, natural way to sit on the floor. You can place your feet flat against each other, cross at the ankles, or place your calves against each other. You can even go full lotus.

Crossed Leg Variation

This is one my favorite ways to sit. From the basic crossed leg position, place one hand flat on the floor and lean on it. Bring the opposite leg up and place the foot flat on the floor. Your opposite leg will be in a squat position. Switch hands and legs if it gets uncomfortable.

Make Up Your Own

Human limbs are funny, bendy things. We can contort ourselves into lots of positions, and as long as you’re on the floor, supporting your own weight and feel comfortable doing it, it’s difficult to hurt yourself. Our bodies are good at giving feedback before things go really wrong. If your arm starts to go numb or your toes get tingly, switch it up! Try coming up with some of your own variations for sitting on the ground and report back.

Floor Activities for Improved Body Alignment

Crawl. Contralateral crawling is one of the most fundamental ways to move. It’s a strong developer of shoulder and hip mobility and strength, and it’s simply a fun way to see and experience the world.

Watch TV on the floor. There’s nothing inherently wrong with TV. Sure, it can be taken to the extreme and crowd out active living, but it’s arguably a golden age of television as far as quality goes. The couch sitting, though, is what gets you.

Eat dinner on the floor. This isn’t something I created out of thin air; plenty of cultures eat dinner on the ground.

Try different positions. You’ll probably find that floor living is a constantly shifting existence, where instead of remaining in the same position for hours at a time, you’re moving around all the time without even trying. You’re switching from the right arm to the left arm to the right elbow to the full lotus position to the half kneel to the full kneel to the full squat just in the first two hours.

Practice moving between positions. Go from standing to a half kneel to a kneel to a seiza to a kneel to a half kneel to standing.

Practice standing up. We can’t live on the floor all the time. Sometimes, we need to stand up and get on with our lives. A smooth transition between floor living and standing is key to health and mobility. For an example transition, check out one of my buddy Erwan’s (of MovNat) methods.

Spend at least an hour a day sitting on the ground and another fifteen minutes practicing different ways to move between positions and another fifteen practicing how to stand up and sit back down. Shoot for ten minutes of crawling, too. You can do most of these things while doing other things, like watching TV or reading or talking, so it’s not like you’re wasting time. My guess is that you’ll take to this like a fish to water.

Why is this so important?

The way we sit, and where we do it, changes the function of our bodies. It even alters the length of musculature.9 In countries where squatting and other forms of floor living are seamlessly weaved into everyday life, people still retain the mobility to do all that stuff into old age. I’ve got a buddy from Thailand who moved over to Hollywood as a teenager in the late sixties and still retains the ability to sit in a full squat, painlessly and effortlessly. This guy is an avid user of chairs and everything Western. He’s not a gymgoer at all, and he’s never even heard of a foam roller or Mobility WOD, but because he got the right floor living experience during the formative years, he can still squat and move around on the floor. Unfortunately, for many of us in Western countries who stopped floor living right around age four or five, we may never quite get there – but we can certainly do a lot better than we are now.

Now that you have some idea of what to do when you’re on the ground, I’d like you to spend the next week doing as much floor living as possible. I don’t expect you to ditch the office chair and roll around the ground while at work, but I do expect you to get in some quality floor time when you’re at home.

Let’s hear from you guys. How do you handle yourselves on the floor? What’s your favorite go-to position?
