Small Gambles

Ezra (Prospect) X I pronoun character

I wanted to get this done before tomorrow, my unread – oh Lord – attempt at my second Writer Wednesday.

I might come back and edit it tomorrow. It’s supposed to be stupid busy for me tomorrow so I might not have the brain for it, and I am so sorry.

Summary: Ezra gets his new arm from a black market fixer. I THINK it is a gender neutral reader…my writing tends to be from the female viewpoint so it is possible I messed up. But I tried to keep it neutral.

Warnings: Some violence. Some pain? Blood assumed. Ezra talking should come with a warning.

“It’ll hurt,” I say to him. “You should get this done by one if the top siders.”

Ezra, his name was, gave me a wry smile. “While I am aware that the pain will be exquisite, I am most certainly assured that getting back the use of my arm, be it a mechanical one, will be worth these moments of misery.” He paused, and said, oddly and without any embroidery, “Besides, it can’t hurt worse than when I had it cut off.”

“Kevva.” I whisper.

“Indeed.”

I’m on the third floor of a tenement in the Downsides. We’re on my balcony, looking out at the rain soaked streets. He asked to come out here “So I can day dream of petrichor and the soft lights of the stars while you work your magic” and after several moments of negotiations – where I let his words flow over me like a beautiful, over complicated waterfall, we struck a deal, and I pulled out the best black market arm his money could buy.

Actually, that’s a lie. The arm on my work table was actually a little better than his money could buy. But I liked his smile. I liked how he embroidered the air with his words and made the silence gentler. A person could sit and listen to that voice forever.

“First, the cap. That’s the part that will hurt.” I examined it carefully under the light. I suspected that this was not the first man this cap had been attached to, but you ask questions in the Downsides, and you die. “This will cover the stump…I mean…”

“You are a being of most direct and forthright language, which, despite my loquacious nature I do appreciate. It is kind of you to try to make a bad situation sound less dire, but it is not needed, I assure you.”

“Tell me how you lost your arm.” I start preparing the cap. The cap was (almost) the best I had, and the part I encouraged him to splurge on, because the arm attachment could be switched up.

There were two jars on my worktable. One of them was conduction gel which would basically melt the skin to the cap. The other had nanites who would much more gently and finely unite man and metal.

One had been paid for. One had not. Which one do you think I grabbed? I shoved the cap on, gave him a couple of shots to numb the pain and make the nanites work. He gasped softly, interrupting his story about someone named Cee.

“So, you know, you can get attachments to switch out that will make prospecting easier…”

“I am afraid that you have quite emptied my pockets, dear sparrow.” His voice sounded strained. I sat in front of him, put my hands on his knees.

“Look at me Ezra. So. You killed this girl’s father…”

“He was stealing my…”

“Oh, no, I get it. I’d have shot him, too.”

He gave me a look. “I have not always been a good man.”

I looked back at my workshop, crowded with junk parts, a bed in one corner. Rent overdue. “I’ve not always been good, either. I think you can’t be good and desperate at the same time.”

“Perhaps.” He managed to give me a smile, “Is that why there has been a – I do think it is a man – sitting on a motorcycle type conveyance, watching your domicile all this time? I thought at first he was here for me, but to be honest, I am not that well known around these parts and have not been here long enough to cause offense.”

My eyes flicked up, met his. I didn’t want to look. “Is his helmet silver, with a blue star? Doe he have a jacket with a star, too?”

“Indeed he does. May I take it that you are familiar with our watcher?”

“He thinks I cheated him. He used to bring me salvage. He brought me some bad parts and I refused to pay what he expected. And I told others,” I leaned forward, took his arm in my hands gently. The cap was almost set. “They refused to buy the parts. Some of them were…well. I recognized the logo. They came off soldiers. Upside guards. People who put tracking chips in everything. People you don’t want to catch the eye of. SO…he wants to hurt me. So far all he does is watch, but.”

“This is not the most secure of locales.”

“I can take care of myself.”

“Please rest assured, I did not mean to apply otherwise. However. Everyone must fall into the sweet embrace of slumber sometime.”

I picked up the arm. It was a good model – strong. Made of metal that was light, but durable. “I wish I had a sleeve for it. Something that would make it look like…robotic.”

“I am not a man given to vanity, my pet.” He was staring out at the road, watchful but not looking directly at the man on the motorcycle.

I started attaching the fine connections. I did it with the arm on so I could do some of the work by feel…I could feel the thrum as each bit of the arm started to come online, the metal tendons and gears coming to life.

“Why does it feel so cold, up my shoulder and into my head?” He asked.

“Is your head starting to hurt yet?”

He shook it.

“It will. The nanites are making pathways, reconnecting your mind to your arm.”

“I did not pay for that.”

“No,” I say. “You didn’t.” Three more connections to go.

“And what am I to do, in exchange for your generosity?” There was a slight edge to his voice. The voice of the man who had shot a girl’s father, who had fought and gotten plenty of blood on his hands. It didn’t frighten me, though I suppose it should.

When you go, I want to say, Two things will happen. Either I will run, and manage to flee and find safe harbor. Or I will flee, and I will die, either by the hand of the man below, or by some other desperate Downsider who wants to sell my bits and pieces. I might as well give you the best I feel I can. Because I’m probably not going to live to serve another customer.

“You have not told me the whole tale, I believe.”

“No,” I say, and give into the temptation to rub his back gently, to trace the blonde gash of hair at his temple as I stand up. “I have not. But. I’m done. Let your arm rest best you can over night…that’s why I gave you the sling. If you can let it rest two days, you’d be even better off.” I grab some pills off a shelf. “Blue bottle. That’s more nanites. Your system is killing those little builders as we speak. There should be five pills…” I check, nod, “Take one a day. And practice using your arm in a few days. The more you practice, the better the connections will be. Take it slow and build up. The last three days of the pills are the most important.”

He took it without a word, strangely quiet. His eyes flickered to the now empty road.

“Red, for pain. Take when you must. And now…” I smiled a little. “How would you say it? I bid you a fond farewell, and safe travels as you leave my place and rejoin the great mortal coil?”

He smiled at me softly, and with great, great effort and probably greater pain, made his new arm take my fingers in his, and lift them to his lips. His good hand clenched into a fist as he shook with the effort. His new fingers were very, very cold…and his lips were soft and very warm. A coil of longing like a snake twined around my heart and squeezed painfully, fangs singing deep.

“Take care of yourself, Ezra.”

“And you.”

As the door closed, I grabbed my go bag. It was already mostly packed with things I would need, and I finished packing. I slipped my most expensive arm out from under my bed – it was state of the art and came with attachments. I also had some eyes and other smaller parts I threw into the bag with the last of my tools and nanite cream and pills. I didn’t intend on fitting the arm on anyone, but I could sell it. Maybe I can get off world. Maybe find my way to where the prospectors hang out when they look for jobs. Listen for a deep voice like brocaded velvet spin tales with seven words when one would do.

I ran down the stairs, out the back.

My watcher was waiting for me. I should have gone out the front. Now I was alone, in an alley, with someone who would enjoy hurting me.

“Trying to run out on us?”

“I owe your boss a lot of money…I was hoping to sell this…” I raised the case “And with the money I made tonight maybe make a payment. You know. Show my good intentions.”

He sneered at me, but I never knew what he meant to say because a silver arm wrapped around, silver fingers gripping his throat, crushing him. Ezra held him tight as he struggled, the new arm making little whining sounds of displeasure as he lowered the man to the ground.

“I told you not to use your arm!”

“I am afraid…” Ezra panted, “That it is not allowing me to let go of this unfortunate fool’s throat.” He gave me a slightly panicked look. Not because he (probably) killed someone, but because he lost control.

“I’ve got it.” I approached gingerly, pressing the arm in a few places to make it relax. “The cap’s messed up. I’m going to have to reset it…Ezra. Why did you come back?”

“I thought I could repay your generosity by making certain that you had at least one night of relative safety. If I had known you were about to flee…”

We rolled to body against the wall. I frisked it for useful items before covering it with trash.

“Your hands are shaking, dear doctor…I am afraid you will not be able to assist me in fixing the problems I so egregiously caused by using my new arm. May I propose that you take safe harbor with me? I have a small ship…she is not much but she will get us somewhere else. Anywhere is better than here, I do think you will agree, and there are many who would value your talents greatly.”

I finally ask one of the many, many questions I had been wanting to ask him, since he showed up at my door. “Ezra, do you always talk so much.”

He draws himself up a little. “I assure you, I can be silent when the need arises.”

“No. No.” I stand in front of him. “I want you to promise you’ll never stop.”

I struck him silent, again, I think, for just a moment and he just gives me that slight, curious smile. “I think I can promise that.” I liked that. I liked the idea of his words wrapping me in soft comfort.

“Then I gratefully accept your generous proposal.”

“Right this way,” he bowed.

I didn’t look back, as I followed Ezra down the alley and away from everything I’d known, and feared.

There was too much to look forward to.

https://wholesalinghousesinfo.com/freedomsoft-review-best-wholesaling-real-estate-software/ - OK folks. So on the off chance that you're perusing this at the present time, at that point chances are you have some enthusiasm for Preston Ely's land financial specialist programming called Freedomsoft. In any case, ostentatious deals duplicate and extravagant recordings aside, there's one glaring inquiry that should be replied… At the point when you take a decent, hard look past all the features, the extravagant recordings and even Preston Ely's overwhelming character — The glaring inquiry despite everything remains: When you strip away all the advertising publicity… Does FreedomSoft Really Stand Up On It's Own? Well I've had some presentation to it by and by. Truth be told I was offered the opportunity to dabble around in the engine ahead of time of the vast majority (since I own this here extravagant land contributing web journal) and I thoughtfully acknowledged. Yet, let me state, in excess of a couple have seen that, in the midst of the advancement blast, I've been oddly quiet up to now – and truly, it was purposeful. My explanations behind this are clarified quite well in the video above, yet fundamentally I'm beginning to reevaluate the entire "everybody messages about everything at the same time" thing. So getting on board with the publicity fleeting trend and making a Freedomsoft audit wasn't exacty top on my rundown. In any case, it turns out certain people really care enough about what I think to make a special effort to inquire. I've had in excess of a couple of people asking me legitimately to share my blunt and genuine contemplations on it, great, awful as well as terrible. Which is at last what persuaded me to set aside the effort to feel free to do a real to life, legitimate Freedomsoft audit. I'll Be Honest… I kinda effectively figured it would be basically done as it so happens. All things considered, the person behind the real programming advancement (No, not Preston or Pete — another person who's waaaaay in the background) — this current person resembles a sibling to me, and known for being a thousand percent focused on extraordinary quality in each venture I've at any point seen him tackle. Freedomsoft Review Update 1: The "Mystery Guy" in the background really made a trip and uncovered his character in the remarks beneath. Wager you remember him. Continue perusing… So I had exclusive standards as of now. Also, I should concede I was very intrigued. Be that as it may, what I didn't expect was the amount they were incorporating with it – as far as the rundown of highlights. Evidently they took their "across the board land contributing arrangement" thought much more genuinely than I gave them credit at first. Freedomsoft Review Update 2: They've likewise included a gaggle of sparkly, new highlights to the "Reloaded" variant, which I've featured to sum things up underneath for you… Freedomsoft Review: A Few Strong, Personal Cautions… Indeed, in the wake of utilizing this actually, I can say Freedomsoft is an extremely incredible bit of land contributing programming. In it's arrangement chief capacities, yet in addition since I've by and by tried and utilized it to pull up practical property drives, a large number of money purchaser leads and two or three hundred private bank leads – all in my neighborhood all in around 3 ticks. In any case, before you move excessively quick, it would be ideal if you understand what FreedomSoft truly is — it's product. Presently truly, they're tossing in a lot of other stuff — and some of it beautiful darn appealing without a doubt. In any case, at it's very center, this is a business instrument — a ground-breaking one, yes — however it is anything but a genuine business. If it's not too much trouble be mindful so as not to befuddle the two. What's more, don't make the great "brilliant sparkly item condition" slip-up of letting all the showcasing and publicity encompassing this persuade you it'll run your entire 7-figure land activity while you chillax on a Hawaiian sea shore. With all that this extravagant programming can clearly do, it can and will intensely increase your REI business endeavors when and on the off chance that you really apply it… BUT… in the event that your business is as yet sitting at zero, companion… well, zero duplicated by anything is as yet zero, right? So first of all, you need a real land business for FreedomSoft to benefit you in any way, OK? Having said that, I'll state this: As a business power apparatus for genuine land financial specialists, I've actually never observed FreedomSoft's match. There is one programming item out there that could be viewed as similar in numerous regards (Open Road) but at the same time they're diverse in various manners… and even the driving force behind that product is advancing FreedomSoft at this moment. Which says something I think. A Few Unanswered Questions… Here are a couple of inquiries I don't know answers to … yet that merit notice in a genuine Freedomsoft survey… For their comps… where do they get the information? Purchaser/dealer/proprietor leads on request… once more, where are the leads sourced from? Would you be able to import your own agreements, structures and letters into the large, extravagant structures editorial manager thingy? Or on the other hand would you say you are constrained to just what they have in there? Freedomsoft Review Update 3: Andy from Freedomsoft halted by and by and responded to these inquiries (and yours) for us in the remarks underneath this post. Peruse on for straight answers you won't find on any online course. FreedomSoft Review: What's New in "Reloaded"? These things bear further clarification, yet in light of a legitimate concern for curtness, here's the short-yet amazing rundown of 8 extravagant, new things (notwithstanding all that it as of now accomplishes for you)… 1. A single Click Direct-Mail Marketing. (Records gave as well) 2. Mechanized and Tracked Direct-Mail Drip Campaigns (actually only a couple of snaps) 3. 45 New Website Design Templates (and you can have the same number of sites as you need/need) 4. New Customized Squeeze Pages for Load Mod, Landord, Motivated Seller, and Private Lenders 5. Drop-Dead-Easy Website Editor (genuinely) 6. "Make-Your-Own Contract" Builder (You can even transfer and auto-fill State-Approved agreements) 7. Agreement Package Builder 8. "Anyplace" Website Integration. Need to keep your space and site? Attachment it straight into Freedom$oft. What To Do? In the first place, in case you're thinking about this, put on your "publicity blinders" and be as target as conceivable in your survey. I trust my involvement with the video above aides… however at long last, no one but you can choose if this will be simply one more spur of the moment purchase or a genuine distinct advantage for you. My proposal? Concentrate On The Demo Videos… At the time I'm posting this, on the off chance that you look down the product depiction page a little there's a rundown of short "behind the blind" recordings, that essentially spread out each and every component you have to comprehend to give this thing a reasonable evaluation. As an extremely systematic person, I'm excited to see them do this, or more all else I unequivocally encourage anybody considering FreedomSoft to contribute a couple of moments to audit these short recordings in the event that they're still there. It's the best due industriousness you could do in your own Freedomsoft survey, and should help gel everything for you. freedomsoft audit Private Bonus: Get Access to the Full "Kiss Flipping" Intensive Training Series Free (Actual $997.00 Value) As a major aspect of my genuine Freedomsoft survey, I'm glad to offer my own unique, private reward to any individual who feels FreedomSoft is a perfect venture for your business. Also, specifically it's an extremely incredible fit with what F$ does. A large portion of you are most likely acquainted with our Kiss Flipping preparing — it's a shockingly basic guide to bringing in huge cash flipping houses in the present market. Basically it's Bob Norton's whole "Keep It Simple Stupid" model for flipping bargains in the present field. People are having GREAT achievement following this outline with us. Typical educational cost for this preparation (when it's open) is really $997.00, thought right currently it's actually shut to new individuals. In any case, I'll readily open full, unadulterated access as a free reward to any individual who puts resources into FreedomSoft through and afterward messages me their FS buy receipt a while later. (See 2 stages beneath) See, as far as I can tell, the one glaring gap in FreedomSoft is that it's NOT generally a plan of action — it's a business apparatus. So coordinating our KISS Flipping preparing with it as a complimentary extra bodes well. It completes the bundle for you. Hand in glove. Freedomsoft Review: In Summary… Comprehend Freedomsoft is definitely not a "virtual cash printing machine" and it won't ensure your prosperity or satisfy your most out of control dreams. No one but you can do that — thus far it despite everything takes more than insignificant programming to get that going. Yet, my true blue appraisal is that it's incredibly very much done, and in the event that you have a REI bargain working together, could be a genuine (perhaps game changing) resource for your land flipping business. Furthermore, with that, I trust you discovered my genuine Freedomsoft survey supportive. My point is to be of an incentive in the conversation as you think about what's directly for you. I trust I've done quite recently that.

Keep You at Bay

Title: Keep You at Bay Collaborators: @27dragons and @tisfan AO3 Link Square Filled: G3 - Accidental Stimulation/Arousal Ship: WinterIron Tony Stark/Bucky Barnes Rating: E Major Tags: blowjobs, semi-public sex, extremely inappropriate locations Summary: Long past the age where a quickie under the bleachers at high school would be appropriate—Tony and Bucky have a quickie under the bleachers… Word Count: 4,103 Created for @mcukinkbingo

A/n - Part of our Nights in Sandbridge AU, but it’s all self-explanatory, stands alone, no powers AU

“At least the seats are a little larger than middle-school?” Bucky said, twisting in the uncomfortable contraption. One of those bunched rows of folding chairs, with springs, the ancient wood scarred with dozens of years of pen marks. Daisy loves Robbie. Class of 06!

Mr Osborne is a goblin.

Bucky rubbed his thumb thoughtfully over the marks. Some of them were older than his own high school career, he thought. Same marks as when he went here.

That was one of the problems with living in the same town his whole life.

“The more things change, the more they stay the same.” He checked his watch. The play was… late getting started, to absolutely no one’s surprise. The auditorium was loud, really really loud, as people talked in whispers, and then normal tones of voice, and then practically shouting at their neighbors as more and more people filed in. “Don’t remember there bein’ this many people in town, last time.”

“No, Billie told me that a couple of the other schools are offering an extra credit grade to students who come to the play and do some kind of paper on it,” Tony said. “Which I imagine is inflating the audience some.” He leaned against Bucky’s side, just a little, getting comfortable, or as comfortable as the hard chairs would allow.

Which, naturally, was when a family decided they were going to need to sit on the other side of Bucky. Tony sighed a little as they stood up to let the family past.

(more below the cut)

The rows weren’t very wide. As the others squeezed past, Tony’s hand wound up being pushed against Bucky’s thigh. And then decidedly not his thigh.

And Tony, because it was Tony, realized where his hand had ended up and gave Bucky a subtle squeeze behind the program Bucky was holding.

Bucky sat down hastily -- almost rudely -- the instant the family was past him. Which didn’t help at all, because Tony was still standing, that perfectly round posterior exactly at eye level.

Extremely inappropriate, Bucky scolded himself. It had been a hell of a few weeks, though, with Livvy sick and out from school, and Billie’s high school drama. Which meant Tony and Bucky had been going to bed exhausted, or woken up randomly in the middle of the night. (Livvy was getting better about vomiting into the toilet. But better was not a hundred percent.) All of which had lead to things being very Not Sexy around Dockside.

The lights flickered a few times, signalling they were finally ready backstage.

And then they went out, while several people laughed nervously.

“They blew a fuse,” Bucky muttered.

“Old building like this, that’s hardly a surprise,” Tony murmured back. “I’m sure they’ll get it fixed soon.” His hand was on Bucky’s thigh, squeezing gently.

Trish Walker -- who’d one been an extra in a McDonald’s commercial just out of high school, and was now the school’s Drama teacher -- came out on stage holding up a flashlight. She took a deep breath and projected, her voice filling up the theater and cutting through the chatter. “Just a little technical difficulty, we should have it fixed in just a few moments. Please remain in your seats for safety.”

“Blew a fuse,” Bucky repeated. “Someone’s going down in the furnace room with a flashlight t’ fix it.” Probably Billie, if they asked for volunteers. Fixing a blown fuse wasn’t exactly engineering, but she liked to show off her ability to fix stuff. Bucky squirmed a little in his seat as Tony’s fingers continued to wander. He could barely see Tony, even in the reflection of like, half the audience’s phones.

Which meant no one could see what Tony was doing, either. A breathy groan escaped from Bucky’s mouth without his consent as the side of Tony’s finger brushed over Bucky’s balls. “Stop that,” he protested, barely audible.

“Don’t know what you’re talking about,” Tony said innocently, even as he dragged the side of his hand along Bucky’s zipper. He tugged at Bucky’s jacket until it was more carefully covering the area, then went right back to it. Slowly, just an occasional tease. With his free hand, he was scrolling through his phone, the ass.

Bucky rolled up his program and swatted Tony’s hand as it wandered too near the crease of his thigh again. Which got him the Pout. Capital P. Tony’s wide, liquid eyes in the near darkness, that full bottom lip sticking out.

Bucky was spared whatever Tony might have said, though, by the lights coming back on. Tony gave Bucky one more slow look as he put his phone away and settled in to watch the play.

The play was-- well, it was a high school performance, so there was a lot of overacting, handmade costumes, and barely audible recitations. And Tony kept waiting until Bucky was mostly paying attention, and then his hand would sneak out again, squeezing Bucky’s knee, or running against his thigh.

It kept Bucky just enough on edge that he had about half a chub when the lights went back up for intermission. High school really needed to have a full length play, with intermission? There were a few concession stands in the lobby area, popcorn and soda and nachos. Activity Booster’s Clubs selling tee-shirts with the play’s logo on the front.

And an absolutely ridiculous line for the bathroom. Even for the men’s room, which was unusual. But Bucky remembered, there were two urinals and one stall on the ground floor. “Come on,” he told Tony, eyeing the line. “There’s another bathroom upstairs, near the chem lab.”

Tony glanced at the line, then nodded, gesturing for Bucky to lead the way. “You think they’ll have the rest of the school open?”

Bucky chuckled. “I musta broke into the high school half a dozen times when I was still a student. I know-- here, up these stairs, and. Yep. The gate’s on the other side of the bathroom.

The hallway was dim, lit only by the few floods near various classrooms. Their footfalls were oddly loud, as the only sound. “Voila, bathroom,” Bucky said. He picked a stall, mostly because he had to talk his dick into cooperating if he was going to be able to pee, and he didn’t really want Tony to notice. Never let them see you bleed. Not advice he usually thought he had to apply to his husband, but sometimes Tony was a menace. And if Tony knew Bucky was on edge, he might just double down.

The familiar generic cleaning smells and the tiny stalls had a deflating effect, at least, and Bucky was able to relieve one sort of pressure.

By the time he came out, Tony was at the sink, trying to convince the industrial-grade hand soap to generate any sort of lather. He glanced up into the mirror and gave Bucky a smirk and a knowing once-over.

“You are soooo inappropriate,” Bucky told him, feeling his neck heat. “After so many years, you’d think I’d be used to you and your kitten ways.”

“You’d think,” Tony agreed, looking entirely too pleased with himself. “It’s almost like you think I’m going to settle down and start acting proper.”

“I might not be a genius,” Bucky said, wiping his hands on the same brown paper hand towels that they’d used in schools since they were invented, “but at least I’ve figured that much out.” He walked by Tony, still looking at himself in the mirror, leaning over the sink just a little, that perfect ass -- a perfect target.

He ran a hand over Tony’s butt check, and just as Tony hummed thoughtfully and pushed backward into the caress, he smacked, sharp, but not particularly hard. “Behave.”

Tony spun around, eyes wide -- and suddenly dark. “Oh, I will,” he said, and it sounded vaguely threatening.

There had definitely been a second half of the play. Tony was certain of that.

Exactly what had happened during that half of the play, Tony was not entirely sure. He had been somewhat preoccupied with a steadily escalating game of stealthy teasing and arousal.

He had only himself to blame, really. That first brush had been totally accidental, but it had been far too tempting an opportunity to resist. And Bucky was certainly doing his best to get Tony back for it.

Finally, though, the play was over. It took exactly three minutes after the curtain went down for Billie to find them. She was dressed head to toe in black and someone had smudged football makeup all the way around her eyes. She looked like a demented raccoon. “Dad, Dad, Dad! Hey, Uncle Bucky! Didja notice all the mood lighting? I did that, well, me and Bonita, but the gel switchout, that was all me.”

Billie had declined all efforts to get her on the stage, and instead, she and Bonita Juarez and Parker Robbins had made up the stage crew, flunkies, lighting technicians, scene builders, prop designers, and costume assistants. They were probably never going to get some of the stains off the garage floor from where the three of them had worked on half the props.

“You did a fantastic job,” Tony said. “I was really impressed with the fast changeout during the fight.” He hadn’t noticed anything, but he’d heard her complaining about how hard it was. “Good job, buttercup!”

“So, uh… Ororo’s having a cast party, an’, an’, an’ you know, it’s Friday, and set break’s not until two, so, like, could I go? I can let myself in, after midnight, right? I mean, I’m sixteen now and everything.”

“Sixteen,” Bucky groaned, theatrically. Only appropriate, really. “Practically old enough for your AARP discount.”

Tony could see Billie start to roll her eyes and then suppress the urge, just in case, because they hadn’t actually said yes, yet. “What state is your homework in?” he asked, though it was a bluff, because he would have given anything to get Billie out of the way for a few hours while Livvie was with a sitter so he and Bucky could have the house to themselves.

“Uh, math’s done,” she said, hedging a little. “I need to finish my Spanish verb stuff, and a little bit of powermaps for History, and then I’ll be done, I can do it Sunday after the matinee.”

Tony looked at Bucky, pretending to deliberate.

“Do you need us to drop you off?”

“No, Parker’s driving,” Billie said, and then whooped, taking the question for the permission in question. “Thanks, Dad, thanks Uncle Bucky.” She dive bombed each of them with a kiss on the cheek, which reminded Tony once again how tall she was getting He wanted to put bricks on her head sometimes.

“Parker? He’s like, what, twelve?”

“He’s almost eighteen, don’t be that way,” Billie said.

“Wear your seatbelt!”

“Duh!” Billie said. “Don’t wait up.”

Bucky watched her run off, then licked his lip very deliberately. “Don’t worry. We won’t.”

Tony’s dick twitched and he was glad he was still holding the program. “Ready to blow this Popsicle stand?” he asked, giving his husband a heated look.

“Or blow something at least,” Bucky muttered, not even going for subtle anymore. He linked hands with Tony and started threading them through the crowd.

Where they were promptly greeted by Billie’s second grade teacher, Miss Potts. “Tony! Bucky, how nice to see you again! Billie’s all grown up, hasn’t she?”

“Pepper,” Tony said, and managed to make it sound warm and happy and not at all like he and Bucky were trying to slip out quickly to go home and fuck. “She’s grown like a weed, the last couple of years. Hope you’ve been well.”

They exchanged a few more pleasantries and then Tony tried not to make a huge sigh of relief when one of Pepper’s other former students caught sight of her. “Miss Poooooooootttttts!” the kid yelled, like it was possible that anyone had missed their frantic waving.

“We’ll just… let you go, then,” Bucky said, and deftly turned toward the exit. It was slightly more crowded in the lobby as parents milled around aimlessly waiting for their kids, and kids gathered in knots of complete obliviousness to anyone wanting to get around them, and why-- okay, that was Kitty Pryde’s father, who was currently engaged in a war for his daughter’s affections between him and his ex-wife's new boyfriend, and had apparently decided that enormous flower bouquets were appropriate for a kid who had less than six lines in a three hour play. He was taking up half the hall on his own.

They’d barely cleared that obstacle, and then there was another knot of congestion as one kid’s entire family descended on him with hugs and congratulations and Jesus, people, wait until you’re outside!

They were just edging past that, the lobby doors in sight, when-- “Oh, Mr. Barnes! Mr. Barnes! I’m sorry, could I just--”

Tony swallowed a whimper. That was Katherine Blaire, who was arranging her oldest daughter’s wedding reception to be held at Dockside, and had been the utterly worst domineering mother-of-the-bride that they’d encountered in at least the last five years.

“How lucky to run into you here!” she said. “I just wanted a quick word about our menu.”

Bucky did not pull a face, but Tony knew his husband well enough. “Hang on, Mrs. Blaire, lemme pull up our last email--” He poked his phone a few times. “You know me, if I don’t write stuff down, I’ll forget it.”

Tony glanced at the flow of traffic and subtly nudged them all over to one side of the lobby while Mrs. Blaire launched into a long-winded explanation about someone’s cousin’s child’s allergies and eventually got down to explaining that she needed a wheat-free (and child-friendly!) option.

“Tell you what,” Tony said, “let us talk to our head chef and see what kinds of options he can suggest, and we’ll email you back first thing Monday.”

“Trust me, Steve will really be--” less annoyed if someone lets him make the decisions, Tony could almost hear Bucky say, “--creative. I promise, you’ll love it, I’ll talk to him.”

Bucky took advantage of a passing parent carrying what looked like three musical instruments and a piece of stage equipment -- Tony didn’t even want to know why -- to duck away from Mrs. Blaire.

“Maybe the traffic’ll die down before we make it to th’ truck,” Bucky said. They’d only driven at all because Billie had to bring in all the props she’d been making. Which would at least stay at the school for the weekend of the showing.

“Honey, you’ve seen how they laid out this parking lot,” Tony said, because as much as he wanted to get home now... yeah, that wasn’t happening.

“I’d suggest we just walk,” Bucky said, “but you’ll wanna keep your legs fresh. You’ll thank me for that, later.” Bucky swatted him again, just as they passed out of the halo of a streetlamp.

Tony’s dick jumped and he considered it. Unfortunately, the high school was a bit farther away than the primary school had been. Walking wasn’t out of the question, but it would probably not actually be faster than waiting for the traffic to clear.

He looked at the solid wall of vehicles as they made their way into the parking lot. “We could just make out in the back seat for a while until things clear up some,” he suggested. He was only half kidding.

Bucky glanced at the flow (or not) of traffic and then-- “the baseball bleachers are out of sight,” he suggested.

Tony eyed his husband closely. “I honestly can’t tell if you’re serious right now.”

“‘F we get up to nonsense in th’ truck, we’re gonna fog up the windows. Everyone’ll know-- look, no one goes out that way after the summer,” Bucky said, taking a step backward and tugging Tony’s fingers.

He was serious. On the other hand, it would take at least half an hour for the parking lot to clear. Maybe closer to forty-five minutes.

And making out (and other things) under the bleachers was a time-honored high school tradition that Tony had never gotten to enjoy back when he was actually in high school. And Tony was almost entirely helpless when it came to Bucky. Especially when it came to Bucky and sex.

Tony let himself be pulled a few steps, and then a few more. They ducked around the side of the building just before another, smaller wave of people came out of the front door.

“This way,” Bucky said, keeping hold of Tony’s hand. He pulled them behind the squat little concessions building. There was a narrow gap there, between the building and the chain link fence that Bucky squeezed through with only a little difficulty. “There… all nice and private.”

Tony had a moment to realize just how old he was, when the first thing he noticed was how filthy it was under there, empty and forgotten paper cups and balled up napkins and old cigarette butts and--

Then Bucky was kissing him, pushing him up against the brick wall, into the shadow. Kissing him like it had been months, deep, needy kisses, rocking his whole body against Tony’s. Practically inhaling him.

Tony let out a soft moan and fisted one hand in Bucky’s shirt collar, keeping him close, letting him plunder Tony’s mouth. Tony’s other hand slid down over Bucky’s chest and stomach, pulling his shirt free and slipping underneath to caress that soft skin, wriggling beneath the waist of Bucky’s pants greedily.

“Oh, yeah, Tony, honey--” Bucky said, pulling apart to breathe, then darting back in to suck Tony’s lower lip into his mouth. He made love to the side of Tony’s neck, wet licks and sharp nips, stretching the collar to get his mouth on Tony’s shoulder. He fumbled with the buttons on Tony’s shirt, and one of them went popping off into the darkness, plinking off the metal seats. “Shit--” Bucky actually laughed, and then he was sagging against Tony, stifling giggles against Tony’s neck.

Tony laughed, too, enjoying the giddy sensation of doing something illicit, the thrill of possibly (but probably not) getting caught. “Now all the kids’re going to know what we were up to,” he teased. He tugged at Bucky’s belt until it came loose, then started working at the button of the pants. “How many boys have you lured back here with your smooth talk and pretty mouth, hmm?”

Bucky groaned, rubbing against Tony’s wandering hand, then paused… “Uh, two?”

Tony sputtered out another laugh. “So much for romance.” He worked his hand into Bucky’s underwear and cupped Bucky’s cock, rubbing the heel of his hand delicately against the head.

“Aw, don’t be sore about it,” Bucky told him. “S’why I knew it was here.” He ran a hand down the outside of Tony’s thigh, encouraging Tony to hook his leg up on Bucky’s hip, rolling them together. “Jesus, you’re a tease, ain’tcha?” He nuzzled at Tony’s mouth again, not letting him answer the charges.

“To be fair--” Tony tried, but then Bucky was kissing him again, deep and sweet and slow, the way only Bucky knew how to kiss him, and Tony utterly forgot what he was going to say, lost in the heat and the languorous rhythm as their bodies slid together, unhurried and inexorable as the ocean. “God, your mouth should be illegal,” he gasped when they finally parted.

Bucky scoffed. “It should be a national treasure,” he corrected. “Want me t’ put it on you?” He tugged at Tony’s zipper suggestively.

“Damn straight I do,” Tony said. He dropped his leg to make that process a little easier. “Have I ever not wanted your mouth on me?”

With a quick tug, Tony found his pants around his thighs, his ass pressed against the cold brick, and then-- oh, Bucky’s mouth was soft and sweet, skilled and slick, taking Tony in with more fervor than finesse, but, oh, oh, god, so fine.

“Oh, god, honey, that’s-- oh, yes, just like... Nnnnng....” Tony brushed his fingers through Bucky’s hair, scraping his fingernails lightly across Bucky’s scalp. “That’s it, that’s perfect, oh, shit--” Tony only just stopped himself from throwing his head back and cracking it against the brick.

Bucky hummed encouragingly, teasing the inside of Tony’s thighs with his thumbs as he worked, sucking Tony all the way back and then sliding back, loose and slow and wet. “Shhh, shhh,” he said, pulling off for a minute. “Sound carries.” He went back to work, trying as only Bucky could, to get Tony to lose control and moan wanton and loud anyway.

Once he got warmed up, Bucky was quick, eager, using his fingers to encourage Tony to thrust into his mouth, and then, he looked up, those eyes soft and warm and practically glowing like embers, eyelashes clumpy with unshed tears.

“Jesus Christ, you are so...” Tony’s whisper came out harsh with wanting, and he had to bite his lip to keep himself from crying out. He brushed his thumbs down Bucky’s cheeks and Bucky hummed again, twisting his tongue maddeningly. Tony arched into it helplessly, once, twice, and then shuddered as his climax rushed through him, a wave of heat and pleasure that left him clinging to Bucky’s shoulders, weak-kneed and shuddering.

Bucky caressed Tony’s thighs, his hips, soothing and sweet as he licked Tony clean. “Hmmm? Yeah? God, you’re sweet.” He licked against the curve of Tony’s hip, letting his teeth scrape against the ridge, before planting another kiss on Tony’s oversensitive shaft, laughing softly as Tony tried to shift away and really couldn’t.

“Evil,” Tony accused, though the pronouncement was somewhat spoiled by the way he was running his fingers through Bucky’s hair. “I was going to be sorry for getting you all worked up in the theater, but I don’t think I am, anymore.”

“You were never going to be sorry,” Bucky told him, shifting around and making an awkward noise as he got to his feet. “Ug, knees, why?”

“Probably not,” Tony mused. He hooked his fingers through Bucky’s belt loops and turned them around to put Bucky’s back against the wall. “Want me to kiss it and make it better?”

“Wouldn’t say no,” Bucky said, stropping up against Tony. “You sound so sweet when you’re tryin’ to be good, could practically get off just listenin’ to you.”

Tony hummed and dropped to his own knees, looking up at Bucky through his lashes and tasting the smooth, sweet skin of Bucky’s stomach as he worked the pants down enough to free Bucky’s cock. “Mm, your turn to be good,” he murmured, “and my turn to be evil.” He sucked Bucky in all at once, without teasing it at all.

“Pretty sure you were born bad, mouth like that on-- ya!” Bucky inhaled, sucking air, eyes going slitted with satisfaction as Tony moved. Bucky’s hand when on top of Tony’s head, anchoring himself, and the other went up to clap his palm over his own mouth, muffling the sounds he made, helpless and needy.

God, Tony loved those sounds, loved knowing that he could make Bucky make those sounds. He hummed in satisfaction, rolling his tongue against Bucky’s cock. He teased his fingers between Bucky’s thighs, pressing lightly up behind the balls, at Bucky’s perineum.

“Ohgod, Tony-- ohchrist--” Bucky was whining and babbling, pushing back against the wall and rolling his hips against Tony’s mouth, eager. “Jesus--”

He bucked -- ha! -- once, twice, then, thighs quivering as he struggled to stay upright, spilled into Tony’s mouth, painting his tongue.

Tony swallowed, and swallowed again, savoring the bitter salt flavor, sweetened by the helpless, soft noises Bucky made as he shuddered through the waves of his climax. Tony gripped his hips, holding him down to clean him off thoroughly, until he was hissing and trying to twist away.

Tony laughed a little, and nuzzled at the skin of Bucky’s stomach, then pulled away and carefully tucked Bucky back into his clothes.

“Well, that--” Bucky said, huffing out a breath, and pulling Tony up to kiss him solidly on the mouth “-- was well worth a little effort. And bruised knees.”

Tony hummed and leaned back in for another kiss. “I could come to enjoy the theater.”

“Or, you know, you could go to the theater to come,” Bucky said, snickering like the twelve year old he was at heart.

MAC Huggable Lipcolour Limited Edition Collection Swatches: Feeling Amorous, Rusty, Touche, What a Feeling, Rich Marron, Love Beam, Red Necessity, Cherry Glaze, Commotion

Okay so this has to be the most ignored LE MAC Collection in the lipstick history! Whats up beauty bloggers? Why no noise about this new launch? I can’t say about the rest of the world but Indian beauty scene is so quiet on these new MAC Huggable Lipcolours that I can’t help but wonder if I am the only one who seems to like these glossy lipsticks. The other day when I went to check if the Retro Matte is back yet, I saw these Sheen Supreme look-a-like tubes sitting at a corner and I asked the MUA if thats the Huggable Collection. You see.they didn’t have even a rack or stand to themselves! Okay seriously whats up? I collected the swatches of the 9 shades out of 12 I could find at the MAC Store in DLF Promenade. Two shades have not been launched in Asia.

As far as the reviews go, they seem to be quite good. The texture is very creamy and they glide on like butter. And give this gloss like shine. Even though these are quite creamy, they still seem to last a decent amount of time (according to Temptalia). The pigmentation varies with shades. But mostly these are sheer lipsticks and have to layered a couple of times to show up. The deeper shades are quite pigmented but the lighter shades lack pigmentation and look almost like the MAC Lustre finish lipsticks.

Swatches from left to right:

Rich Marron: is described as a “mid-tone nude.” Its a sheer nude brown shade and reminds me of MAC Hug Me.

What a Feeling: is described as a “mid-tone cool pink.” Its a lilac toned pink shade which would probably wash out Indian skin tones.

It's easy to use within three simple steps load dvd output format get start software which provides blazing fast ripping speed but preserves high original quality.

Touche: is described as a “light beige.” A sheer peachy nude. Again not for medium and dark skin.

Rusty: is described as a “deep auburn.” A warm brick brown shade.

Feeling Amorous: is described as a “mid-tone fuchsia.” A blue based hot pink. Liking it a lot.

Commotion: is described as a “deep cool plum” A deep berry which looked a little vampy. Totally a fall shade. Applied unevenly. I like it ever since I got into such reddish berry shades!

Cherry Glaze: is described as an “orange red” A bright warm orange toned red shade. Reminds me of MAC So Chaud. A little less bright than Lady Danger. My favourite out of all!

Red Necessity: is described as a “deep warm wine”. A deep cherry red shade.

Love Beam: is described as a “mid-tone warm pink” A light warm pink quite similar to MAC Lustering. Less brighter than Speak Louder.

Pros of MAC Huggable Lipcolours:

Very creamy and buttery

Hydrating and moisturizing. You can skip lip balm with them.

Glide on like butter. Literally!

I can see a lot of shades working for Indian skin tones.

Cons of MAC Huggable Lipcolours:

Uneven application of a few shades.

Pigmentation varies according to the shade. Lighter one are more sheer than the darker ones.

The main problem behind these lipcolours is the uneven application. Even while swatching I found the texture a little difficult to work with. Adobe photoshop free download. You need to be extra careful while applying or they can look blotchy. Commotion is the unevenest and creamiest out of all.

Dupes: Revlon Lip Butters

Price: Approx Rs.1600 (not sure)

Shades meant for Indian skin: Commotion, Cherry Glaze, Red Necessity, Love Beam, Rich Marron, Rusty, Feeling Amorous. Err.okay all of them except Touche and What a Feeling! My favourites are Cherry Glaze and Feeling Amorous.

PS – Happy Holi!

PPS – What’s the mystery here? Girls I don’t want to be left out!

My review:

First up, I’m a huge fan of the exclusive design for this calendar by Bella Freud. The designer is known globally for her cheeky, yet chic, knitwear featuring similar designs to both the calendar packaging, the makeup bag & the candle.

On to the contents itself; there were so many products inside the calendar I was so very excited about. If you are, or you’re buying for, a beauty expert that knows their brands & loves luxe beauty then this calendar delivers on all points. Particular products I can’t wait to get stuck into are:

Chantecaille The Anti-Pollution Finishing Essence

Murad Perfecting Day Cream SPF 30

Shiseido Ultime Power Infusing Concentrate Serum

It was also brilliant to see firm favourites in the calendar from brands such as Nars, Dr Denis Gross & Philip Kingsley.

I know there is a lot of emphasis put on the amount of full size products in beauty advent calendars now. I personally love minis so I get to try more products & have them for travel. But if you are on the hunt for full size products in calendars then the ELLE Beauty Advent Calendar has 9. Not a bad number really, considering most of the minis are deluxe sample sizes.

The negatives:

There’s no escaping the fact that all beauty advent calendars are limited edition, which is of course understandable. But the problem being that if you want to get your hands on a calendar then you’ll have to be quick! I’ve left my post a little late this year about the calendar & I’m dreading putting it together & finding that it is already sold out. So if you’re in the market for one of the best beauty advent calendars out there: head HERE to pick yours up to avoid disappointment.

Many thanks For Staying!

Peak week has actually reoccured as well as now the moment possesses officially been available in my Boston training to taper! I would elect the second hardest segment the final climb, straight after Significant Bear, with 9 miles to go. Or else, as the competition of the label signifies, there are numerous fire trail segments making the training course hardly technical. That was also fairly effortless to lead John at this moment - our company were virtually the only joggers on the course and also possessed the whole street to our own selves. Only remember: at one aspect, our team were actually all new to the sporting activity (whatever sporting activity, whatever lifestyle celebration - no one started out as a pro). I have a fitbit flex however that does not present heart cost and I have to sync along with the app to view how many steps I have actually taken. That would certainly have been actually simple to give up offered I didn't really feel one-half from my ordinary energy degree and the difficulty from being actually alone in a remote international land, but I outlined onward. I was in fact pretty in good condition and also I believe if I hadn't had a little bit of a chilly that full week that stopped my ass I will have possessed a try at 24 flat or even a lot better.

In this particular kind of once a week start-up 2 easy/recovery days are actually taken after one of the most stressful exercise from the full week as well as a 1 easy/recovery day after the other stress day as well as the fifty percent stress and anxiety day.

Herpes

From day one my own personal life-long herpes infection has presented me with several ethical challenges. It has challenged me on the question of who to tell and when. It has challenged me on the issue of what to say and how to others with herpes. It has challenged me on the question of "Do I have any responsibilities towards trying to prevent the people in the community who do not herpes from getting it, and if so what are they"?

On how to tell and when:

When I was diagnosed with herpes the doctors told me that it was safe to have sex with others as long as I avoided having sex during outbreaks and that I would get warning signs of when an outbreak would be coming. Luckily, we are working with much better information these days. A person with herpes is potentially contagious every-single day of the year and safer sex including using a combination of a condom or dental dam and an anti-viral gel is the best way of ensuring that one isn't inadvertently spreading the virus.

I was an irresponsible coward when I first got herpes. Because thedoctors told me that I wasn't contagious without outbreaks and because I was in the habit of using condoms, I decided that I only had to tell someone that I had herpes if and when it seemed like the relationship was turning serious and there would be regular sexual contact. I had justified my cowardice by thinking that the risk to others was too small to stick my neck out and get the rejection due to a herpes leper. Please don't be like me. Not telling someone before you have sex that you have herpes is absolutely the wrong thing to do. There's no real way to justify it. I now tell potential lovers I have herpes even before the first date. It gets the weight of this guilt most herpes people have off my chest and to me it feels like the right thing to do.

Many people tell me that it's okay if you're not going to have sex with someone to wait and see if the relationship becomes serious before telling them about herpes. Sure this is much better than waiting until after sex, but to me it still isn't good enough. If you care about someone, if you respect them , why not tell them as early as possible so they can decide if they want to invest the energy and time in getting to know you better? Isn't it a bit manipulative to allow someone to develop feelings for you without warning them that they risk a life-long viral infection if they get involved with you? Think about it. If you wait until they are already emotionally attached to you, they may feel compelled to continue with the relationship when they may not have if you had told them up-front. It takes more courage and integrity to tell early but it feels better to have the weight off your chest and the person you tell will usually respect you for giving them the choice.

I am especially appealing to men since I believe that men are not as protective of their sex partners when it comes to telling about herpes as women are. Guys, please don't have sex with anyone without telling them about your herpes. And if they don't know the facts don't understate the risks- herpes is a more physically and emotionally devastating disease for women than it is for men and it is much easier for a man to give a woman herpes than it is for a woman to give it to a man.

On how and what to say to others with herpes:

I am a holistic healer- a herbalist and homeopath. My family have been healers for many generations in my native country of Trinidad and Tobago and as far back as Africa. I had little to no interest in treating herpes as a healer until I got herpes myself. Wanting to change a negative to a positive, I decided to make the holistic treatment of herpes the cornerstone of my practice. The bible says "the stone that the builder refused, I will make my cornerstone. Bob Marley and the wailers sing about it too.

It didn't take me long once I decided to become a holistic viral specialist to realize that I was confronted with a daunting challenge. Most professionals including all the herbalists and homeopaths I know rely heavily on referrals to build their client-base. Here I was now working with a client-base that I was never going to get a lot of referrals from. My patients with herpes don't go around telling the world that I helped them with their outbreaks. Some of my patients have yet to tell their significant others that they have herpes, many have not told their closest friends and their family. I am not a company. I don't have an advertising budget. The only way for me to reach out to others with herpes and encourage them to come for me for treatment was to speak out in public about my herpes work and about herpes in general. This forced me to be far more out of the closet than would have been my personal choice.

I seem to always create challenging situations for myself. Speaking to others with herpes is not a task for the faint of heart. Some people like to shoot the messenger- I have the bullet-wounds to prove it. But I can say that speaking to others with herpes has been and continues to be one of the most gratifying experiences in my life. I feel a deep bond with many of the people with herpes who interact with me. I felt this kind of bond when I played team sports. I've felt this kind of bond all my life with other black people. There's something about "us against the world" that can make people tight with other. I love my herpes friends. I love my herpes patients- even the ones who misbehave. I am not grateful for getting herpes, but I don't regret it either. Nevertheless, the truth hurts, and I have some bitter truth to tell others with herpes:

Having a lover who also has herpes isn't a free ticket for unprotected sex. Even if you both have the same strain Even if one gave it to the other. Having unprotected sex with each other can and often will make one or both partner's cases of herpes worse. It's called re-inoculation and it's a message many with herpes don't want to hear.

If you have herpes or cold sores you are potentially contagious everyday and there is no sure way to tell if you are shedding virus. So do consider using a condom/dental dam combined with an anti-viral gel when having sex and do be careful about sharing wet towels or wash cloths with others.

No two people get herpes the same way so you are going to have your own individual experience with the virus and will have to find your own way of dealing with it on all the different levels you will have to deal with it.

A cure for herpes in our lifetime is unlikely and there are no quick-fix solutions for managing herpes. Herpes cannot be managed with a topical agent alone- whether it be creams, lotions, or essential oils. Managing herpes takes changing your diet, managing stress and other triggers, and may also require either taking herbal medicine or drug therapy.

You may not get fewer outbreaks as you get older. While this is often the case, since no two people get herpes the same way, other diseases, menopause, self-abuse, re-inoculation by unprotected sex and other factors can change the pattern of frequency and severity of outbreaks at any point during your life-long journey with herpes.

Cold-sores are just as contagious if not more contagious than genital herpes and you can infect others when there are no signs of sores present.

Having herpes does make you more vulnerable to other sexually transmitted infections including HIV, cervical dysplasia and genital warts.

Daily use of l-lysine is an ineffective strategy for treating herpes and can do more harm than good. There are more effective natural remedies such as garlic for treating herpes without side-effects.

On talking to those who don't have herpes:

The reality check for me is that the mainstream and alternative media do not want talk about herpes. They would prefer to keep us in a ghetto. There is a lot of misinformation floating around and people without herpes have few places to turn to hear the facts about herpes. They don't hear the facts in their churches, young people are not being educated enough about herpes in school. Most parents aren't teaching their children about herpes, older siblings are not passing information down to the younger ones.

It's really up to us who have herpes to try harder to dialogue with those who don't. HIV won't be the last word in human population control from the world of viruses. If we don't learn how to better protect the population from getting herpes and other sexually transmitted infections we are going to be in a lot of trouble. Herpes is a gateway disease it provided easy access through your mucus membranes for any sexually transmitted virus.
