//------------------------------// // Chapter Three // Story: Mending Bonds:Daddy's Little Girl // by atomicpuffin //------------------------------// "Come on honey...it's been three days. Just let me take her out for the afternoon. She's going crazy being caged in here." Flitterbee had her ear pressed against her parents' door. Her father was currently pleading her case to her mother. He had assured her that he could convince mom to let them out for just a little while. "No...Discord if I let up now she won't learn her lesson. You just want an excuse to go mm..." Her mother's voice was suddenly cut off and Flitterbee frowned. She didn't hear anything else and pressed herself further against the door wondering why? Then she heard her mother sigh and giggle, "You don't play fair…" "Is that really a surprise?" Her father purred. "Hmm...no...oh fine. Just for the afternoon and so long as she stays with you… I guess it's okay." Flitter smiled and jumped in the air silently cheering her dad. She was trotting happily through Ponyville next to her father. She was so happy to be off the castle grounds, she never realized how much she would miss running through town. They were heading to SugarCube Corner for a quick treat. Unfortunately, even though mom had let her out, she had given strict orders that the two of them were to be on their best behavior. They made it to the steps when she was tackled back by two excited colts. "Flitter!" They shouted in unison and she laughed as she looked up at her two best friends. Before she could say anything though the two were levitated off her and she was also lifted up and into her father's arms. She looked up irritated at her dad, but he was glaring suspiciously at her friends. "Sorry boys...Flit is still technically grounded. She has to stay by me...which I think I'd prefer anyways." He growled lightly and the two colts' ears fell back. Flitter sent her father another glare, but he ignored it as he turned to carry her inside. "Dad! What in the hay was that all about?! They just wanted to say hi!" She pouted and he looked down at her. He couldn't fight the smile creeping onto his face, "Sorry kiddo, daddy instincts...I can't turn them off…" Flit tilted her head in confusion. Daddy instincts? What in Celestia does that have to do with anything? "Alright boys...just don't tell Aunt Fluttershy. Come on, share some milkshakes." He called out to the colts who happily trotted in after them and they all went to a table. Before Discord could sit down in his chair there was a high pitched squeal. "Oh no…" He muttered and was tackled back by a pink blur. He gasped for breath as the pink mare squeezed him tightly. "Ah Pinkie…*gasp*...I see that...ergh...you're back…" He groaned as Aunt Pinkie continued to squeeze the life out of him. "Oh Dissy! I'm so glad I got to see you before I had to leave again, I mean I was planning on coming over for a visit but on the off chance I couldn't now I don't have to worry...Oh but I still want to see my chaos cuties and Flutters!" She finally released him and he fell to the ground gasping for air. Pinkie turned and saw Flitterbee sitting at the table, she smiled and held out her arms. "There's one of them now! Come here my chaos cutie!" Flitter flew to her favorite aunt and gave the mare a big hug. Aunt Pinkie set her away and started to closely inspect her, walking around her as if searching for something. Then she put her nose against Flitter's, although this invasion would bother most, Flit didn't mind. Finally Pinkie smiled and ruffled her black mane. "Oh yes! You are definitely the cutest thing ever!" "Most definitely, she is growing into the most beautiful mare in town." They all turned to the door as Aunt Rarity walked in. Flitter cowered a bit, wondering if her aunt was still mad at her. Rarity noticed this and smiled softly at her, "Oh sweetie...don't look so down. I know you're sorry. Come give me a hug." Flitter did and her Aunt Rarity also ruffled her mane. Why do they always do that!? It get's so annoying... "Besides, you can't exactly help how you love to prank. Considering where you came from…" She shot her father a look and he chuckled, puffing out his chest in pride. Aunt Rarity rolled her eyes and looked back at Flitter. "Like I was saying when I came in...Flitterbee is going to turn into such a delightful beauty when she's all grown up. No doubt the recipient of many stallions' attentions." Discord growled again, making a point of snorting at the two colts beside him. Flitter blushed and shook her head. "Aunt Rarity!" "Oh I'm only teasing darling! You still have a few years before that should even cross your mind. Otherwise your father may have a heart attack." She winked at Discord who snorted at her, and grumbled under his breath. "Oh! I almost forgot...I got so distracted when I came in here. Pinkie, I was hoping you would be here. I need you to come to the shop later so I can start getting your designs for the performance." Pinkie looked at Rarity curiously, then enlightenment hit her and she looked horrified. "Oh no! The Hearths Warming performance! I forgot! Oh no...I booked several events for me and Cheese to throw that day! Oh no what am I going to do!?" Her aunt started to have a panic attack and Flitter backed up worried, knowing how her aunt got. Discord also knew how she got so he went over and lifted the mare by her waist before she could take off. "Easy now...It's no big deal. We can get someone else to play your part...Fluttershy maybe? Oh wait...she already has another part and I don't want to be paired with anypony else hmm..." Flitter moved to her seat as the adults continued to talk. She wasn't that interested, she knew her father would think of something. She took the time to use this distraction to catch up with her friends. "Cheese, DL, how have you two been? I've missed you guys so much!" They blushed slightly and smiled at her, Cheese answered first. "It's been boring without our leader around. We've been just hanging out at the arcade or with our parents. Well, now Dusk is having more fun than me with little Shining Star home." Flitterbee's eyes widened. "Aunt Twilight had the baby!? Oh why wasn't I told?" "Oh sorry Flit, see mom just came home from Canterlot yesterday. See Shining Star came early so mom didn't know there would be any trouble with her going to the royal summit like she does every year. We would have told you, but you were grounded and we only found out like two days ago." Dusks answered sheepishly. Flitterbee pouted and made a mental note to have her mom take her later to see the new filly. "Well I'm sure she's adorable. Is she an alicorn too?" Flit asked and Dusk nodded. She smiled wider at the idea of a new baby. The three friends had been the last to be born in their families before little Shining Star. Flit wondered then who the filly would grow up with since none of her other aunts had any babies? She would have to spend lots of time with the little filly and teach her all about pranking ponies. "Flitter…" Her father called getting her attention. She turned to see the three adults smiling at her. She frowned and looked up to meet her dad's eyes. "Yes daddy?" "How would you like to be in the Hearths Warming performance this year?" He asked and she stared at him with her mouth hanging open in shock. "3...2...1…" Dusk and Cheese counted down moving to cover their ears. "YEEEEES!" Flitter shouted and jumped into the air, zooming in circles around the adults. She would have continued for who knows how long, had her father not reached out and snatched her out of the air. "Excellent! See Pinkie, Flit is perfect for your role. She's more towards the age of the character anyways. Oh, better yet! She has about the same energy level you do." He laughed and the other two mares did as well. Flit looked up smiling at her dad, "This means you and I can perform together daddy!" He smiled at her and nodded, "Yes, honestly you will be a lot more fun to mess with than Pinkie." Pinkie giggled and said, "True, besides I really am too old for the part. I only said yes because Sweetie, Applebloom and Scootaloo couldn't. Also none of the other fillies who tried out could sing the song." Flitter's pupils shrunk… "S-s-sing! Wait! No pony said anything about singing!" "Honey come out…" Discord said in frustration as he stood outside her door. She had raced home and locked herself in her room after the news at SugarCube Corner. He was trying to get her to let him in. True, he could get in anyways, but it would be rude. "NO! GO AWAY! I'M NOT SINGING IN FRONT OF PONIES!" She shouted and he sighed. Now why does this sound so familiar? You are your mother's daughter alright... "Flitter, it won't be so bad. Come on sweetie, I've heard you sing before when you're with the animals. You have an amazing voice my dear." "IT'S NOT THE SAME AND YOU KNOW IT!" He groaned again and was about to argue more when a gentle hoof on his arm stopped him. He looked down to see his wife smiling at him. "That won't work...trust somepony who knows what she's going through. Let me try...Flitter sweetie, may I come in?" Fluttershy softly called through the door. There was an extended pause and then the door opened enough to let Fluttershy walk through. However when Discord started to follow it was slammed back in his face. "Hmph...fine...this is probably better left as a mother/daughter talk anyways…" He grumbled and slunk over to the couch to wait. He snapped his fingers and brought his favorite book to read and his reading glasses. "Let's see what she was up to today…" He grinned. Fluttershy was curled on the bed with Flitterbee at her side, her face under her hooves. "What's wrong sweetie?" She cooed to her daughter, even though she had heard what the problem was she still wanted her daughter to talk it out. Knowing from dealing with her own stage fright that this would help. "I can't possibly go up there and sing in front of all those ponies mom! What if I make a mistake and they all laugh at me?" There were tears in her beautiful red eyes and Fluttershy smiled softly at her. Maybe she's not only like Discord after all… "Oh honey...I know exactly how that feels…" "Hmph...how can you? Every year you and my aunts perform in Canterlot and you always do great! I'll never be like you are on stage...all graceful with a beautiful voice…" Flitter muttered and it made Fluttershy laugh. "Oh darling... if I ever made it look easy I apologize. Being on stage is never easy, no matter how many times you do it. Flitter, you are more like me than you think. Not too long ago, I could never bring myself to be on stage." Flitter raised her head surprised at her mother. Fluttershy kissed her daughter's forehead and smiled at her. "Flitter, I had horrible stage fright just as you're experiencing right now. I still have it actually…" "But you never look nervous on stage!" "Well...that's mostly because I'm not alone. I always have my friends' support as well as your father's. I'm never alone on stage and neither will you be. Even though you have to sing a solo song, we will all be there to love and support you no matter how it goes." She wrapped her wing over her daughter and nuzzled her softly. Flitter sighed and leaned into the touch, then she muttered. "But what if they laugh at me?" Fluttershy giggled and whispered, "Then daddy will rain chaos all over them and I won't say a word against it." They both laughed and Fluttershy knew she had helped her daughter through a problem that she herself had to overcome much the same way...through some soft words of encouragement and knowing that no matter what happened on the stage, those around her would be proud. There's was a loud crash in the livingroom and the two jumped. Another crash soon followed by Discord's yell. Before either could get off the bed he was thrown through the door and landed on the floor below them. Fluttershy was terrified until she looked up. "IF THOU VALUES THINE LIFE! THOU SHALT NEVER TOUCH OUR DIARY AGAIN!" "Oh dear…" Flitter was bouncing through Ponyville, finally free of her punishment. She had spent the remaining days with her mother rehearsing. She actually found that she enjoyed the songs and the story. Especially the parts where she would share the stage with her father, ironically, he was perfect for the role! She had felt better hearing her mother's encouragement. Her father had added to it by reminding her that this would be a first for him too. 'If it wasn't for the fact that this role was practically written for me I wouldn't have said yes...well that and your mother cheated and bribed me with...uh...n-nevermind...' Flitter was in search of her BPFFs, but she was having a hard time finding them around town. Then she heard Dusk's voice and ran towards it. She turned a corner and saw him leaning down talking to a younger filly. She was crying and he was obviously trying to comfort her. "Hey DL! What's going on?" She called as she trotted closer, looking at the filly worried. "Oh Flit! I forgot your grounding ended today. This is Spring Blossom, apparently her kitten ran off and she can't find her. She came to me for help...well...because…" He blushed and Flit looked at him oddly. Spring Blossom provided what he had left off. "Because he's a prince so it's his job to help damsels in distress!" Flitter snorted to cover her laugh and Dusk's blush deepened. "Yeah that...obviously someone reads too many fairytales…" He muttered and Flit gave him a smile to silently apologize for laughing and he returned it, his blush lessening. Then she knelt down to talk to the filly, she spoke softly as she would with her animals. "There, there...it's okay…" She didn't see DL looking at her, amazed at the sudden change in her voice. He had never seen her go so soft and gentle like she was now, his blush returned even brighter. "Would you like to tell me more about your lost kitten?" She asked the filly who looked up and sniffled. However Flitter's soft demeanor seemed to trigger the filly's instinctive trust. "She was a present from my grandpa...she's a little white kitten named FluffyBottom...we were playing near the edge of town and she ran off chasing a butterfly...I...I think she may have run off into the Everfree!" The filly started crying harder and Flitter moved to her side and draped her wing over the child. "Don't worry...we'll go find her." "We will!?" Dusk looked at her worried and she glared at him. "Yeah oh knight in shining armor...we will…" "Flitter this is a bad idea!" Dusk shouted again as they stared up at the forest. Flitter was looking around the edge, trying to find some tracks that looked like they could belong to the kitten. She ignored DL as he shouted at her, happy that although he looked worried, Cheese was keeping quiet. "You saw that filly...I can't let her down." She muttered as she closely looked at an imprint in the dirt. "I got it! This has to be her, it's too small to belong to another forest creature!" She started to move forward and stopped when she felt a tug on her tail. She turned around to see both DL and Cheese holding it in their mouths, looking at her worried. She glared and flicked it out of their grip, then for good measure… "OW!" They shouted as it flicked across their noses. "Come on you cowards...are you coming or not?" She asked as she glared back at them. Cheese looked away guiltily and DL glared back at her, he shouted. "Come on Flit! You can't be serious! We should go get mom or Uncle Discord to handle this!" "By that time something could already have gotten to the kitten! No we're wasting time as it is! If you won't go with me then I'll go alone!" She turned and started walking into the dark forest, she wasn't afraid of this place. After all, she lived at the center of it anyways and she was Discord's daughter! The Princess of Chaos, there was nothing she couldn't handle. Kibou was enjoying the peace of the garden. Storm curled against his side, napping. His tail curled further around her as he watched the sun beginning to set. His ear twitched when he heard someone walking behind him. However he knew who it was before turning around, not enough steps to be mom. "What's up dad?" He whispered so as not to disturb Storm...although she slept like the dead most days. Discord smiled down at the happy pair before a frown returned to his forehead. "Have you seen your sister? She should have been home already, but I can't find her anywhere. Celestia, she's released for one day and already back to causing trouble...hmm that's my girl." He chuckled, but couldn't hide the worry in his voice. Kibou frowned too, Flit was a troublemaker, but she never stayed out past dark. She knew it would upset dad and that girl hated to upset her father. Kibou nudged Storm awake and whispered, "Sorry love...but Flit is getting into trouble again and I have to go find her." Storm yawned and nodded, but curled back up to sleep. Kibou rolled his eyes and snapped his fingers, teleporting her home. He rose from the grass and looked up at his father, he still preferred to walk on all fours. "Where do we start lo-" "UNCLE DISCORD! UNCLE DISCORD!" They both turned at the pair of shouting voices. Dusks Light and CheesePie were running towards them. Discord looked around and stiffened even more, Kibou did the same. They were both thinking the same thing, You never saw the Terrible Trio apart. "Where's Flitter?" Discord asked harshly and Dusk lowered his head. "We tried to stop her Uncle Discord...we really did, but she just...just wouldn't…" "Where is she?" "Here FluffyBottom...here kitty...come on sweetie I'm a friend...FlufflyBottom...seriously who names a cat that? FluffyBottom...come on it's getting dark and dad will be so mad if I'm not home on time." She groaned as she looked around her, trying to listen for some sound that could be the lost kitten. She thought she heard a twig snap and twisted around, but she couldn't see anything. She had amazing night vision, thanks to inheriting her father's eyes. However even with her heightened senses, she still couldn't see anything. I'm just getting a bit jumpy...Nothing to worry about though… "I'm the daughter of Discord! I'm not afraid of anything in this forest! You can't hurt me so neh!" She stuck her tongue out at the forest and then realized how stupid that must look and sucked it back in, blushing slightly. She muttered to herself and continued forward searching for the little kitten. She smiled when she heard soft mewling. She trotted towards the sound and pushed her way through a bramble bush. Crying out at the thorns tugged at her delicate wings, she bit back the tears as she made it through and saw the kitten tangled in another bush. "Oh you poor dear...hold on I'll get you out...shh...it's okay I'm going to get you out of here." She spoke to the kitten as she tried to carefully untangle the fur and avoid scratching herself up too much. "Now I see why you're named FluffyBottom...well she may have to changed your name if I can't get your tail untangled…" She muttered. The kitten's tail was very fluffy and stuck the worst. After what felt like hours, Flitter freed the kitten and took her in her hooves. The kitten responded by purring gently and Flitter smiled. "Come on, let's get you home. See, who needs a prince to get the job done...guess that makes me the knight in shining armor." She laughed as she looked for an easy way out of the bushes, she wanted to avoid more scrapes. It would be hard enough to explain the scratches she had without revealing she had entered the forest. She made it through unscathed and sighed in relief. She turned to leave and the kitten in her arm hissed. "Woah! Hey it's okay, it's just me. I'm going to take you home now...what are you looking at?" Although she couldn't communicate with animals on the same level as her mother, she still read their body language very well. She stiffened and glanced over her shoulder. Staring back at her were several glowing eyes. "Uh-oh...hold on FluffyBottom!" She tightened her hold on the kitten and flew into the air and raced away. She heard the Timberwolves following behind her and she glared at the tops of the trees preventing her from getting away easier. She would have to rely on all the tricks Storm had taught her to avoid the predators. She started to pull ahead when growling ahead of her caused her to stop and turn to the right. The pack was larger than she thought and some had circled around to cut her off. She felt panic start to rise in her as she flew faster. I am the daughter of Discord...the daughter of Discord… She chanted to keep the fear at bay. She turned her head to look back at see how close they were to her. They were closing in on her and she briefly counted eight Timberwolves. However as she was counting, she wasn't looking where she was going and ran straight into the side of a mountain. She fell to the ground screaming and when she regained her balance, she cringed in pain. She had landed on her wing and it was obviously broken now, she started crying at the pain and looked over to see the kitten behind her hind legs hissing. Flitter turned scared eyes to the pack closing in on her, they made a half circle, cutting off all routes of escape. She gulped and began to shiver. She couldn't fly, nowhere to run… "Stop! Who do you think you are chasing after a helpless filly?" She shouted glaring at the wolves. Her father had told her many times about her mother's special gift called 'The Stare' and how it controlled animals. She had seen it several times and prayed she had inherited it. The wolves were unfazed however and continued to advance. She glared harder and shouted, "I'm warning you! I am Flitterbee Chaos! I am the daughter of Discord and I am not afraid of you!" They moved closer, their mouths open and dripping with saliva. Flitter gulped and cried as she whispered, "Daddy…" There was a bright flash and the wolves stopped as they faced the two new threats. Kibou and Discord were standing between them and Flitter, both snarling at the wolves, their backs arched and hackles raised. "Stay away from her you mutts...or I'll tear you apart." Discord growled at the wolves. The pack looked at the two predators in front of them and slowly backed up, knowing that they couldn't take down two threats. They turned and retreated back into the forest and Kibou snorted after them. Flitter sighed in relief and smiled up at her family. Her smile fell when they both turned and glared down at her. Her ears fell back and she tucked her tail. "Daddy I…" "You are in so much trouble Flitterbee Chaos…" He hissed and she started to cry harder. Her father never called her by her full name...she was indeed, in a whole lot of trouble. "What were you thinking young lady? Do you have any idea what could have happened had me and your brother not gotten there in time!?" Discord shouted as he stared down at his daughter. He had gotten her home and taken her to her room, where he had silently healed her wounds. His heart had ached as he ran his glowing claws over her, seeing his daughter in pain was like a knife in his heart. He would never forget the fear that had raced through him when the colts had told him she had gone alone into the Everfree. Furthermore what kind of stallion lets a mare go alone into a dangerous forest!? He growled low as he stared down at his youngest child. She was sitting on her floor, not looking up at him. He groaned and ran his paw over his face. Fluttershy had wanted to come in with him, but Kibou had wrapped his tail around her shaking his head. Discord wanted to speak to her alone, now though...Discord almost wished she was here to keep him calm. He was so angry...and terrified! Just realizing how close he had been to losing his daughter… "I've told you hundreds of times not to go into that forest! Flitterbee you know better!" He shouted again. He didn't mean to raise his voice at her, but he couldn't control himself right now. "But...but...the kitten…" She sniffled and the sound tugged at him. All this over a lost kitten! He growled again in frustration and practically roared when he said, "To Tartaus with the kitten! Flitterbee, there's no way that a kitten is worth losing you!" He fell to his knees and pulled his daughter into his chest. She started to cry against him and buried herself further into his fur. His heart was racing as he held her, his little girl...his baby...and he had almost lost her tonight...He didn't know what he would have done had he gotten there too late and seen her...The image alone was enough to make him gasp in fear and cling to her tighter. "Flitterbee...nothing is worth losing you...honey do you have any idea how worried I was?" He whispered as tears filled his eyes. He began to stroke her mane and rested his nose against the top of her head. She sniffled and nuzzled him again. "I'm sorry daddy...I didn't mean to...I was just...trying to be like you…" She whispered and he stopped stroking her mane and lifted her chin to make her meet his eyes. "What do you mean...like me?" She sniffled as tears continued to stream down her cheeks. "You're always so brave...you've saved Equestria before...you're not afraid of anything…" "Wrong little one...I am afraid of a lot of things...mostly I'm afraid of something happening to you. Honey I was terrified that I had lost you...I'm still shaking from it." He pulled her to him again and hugged her tight. She sighed and snuggled against him. "I'm sorry daddy...I just wanted to prove that I'm your child too…" She muttered and Discord frowned further. What was she talking about? "Flitter...what could you possibly mean? Of course you're…" "But I don't have any magic...I've heard ponies whispering about how they're happy that I don't have your magic like Kibou...I know they think it's a good thing, but...but I don't…" She started to cry against him again and Discord felt another stab in his heart. He never realized that his little one would be disappointed that she hadn't inherited his chaos magic, most would consider that a miracle. He felt her shivering against him as she cried and he felt his anger from before softening. "Darling...just because you don't have my magic does not mean you are not as much a part of me as Kibou is. True he looks more like me and has chaos magic...but that doesn't make him more my child than you…" "But even you treat me different! You treat me as if I'm weak and helpless and I'm not! I'm...I'm not just another pony…" He sighed and stood up with her in his arms. He moved to the edge of her bed and sat down, cradling her in his arms, much like when she was a little foal. No bigger than his forearm… "Is this why you ran into the forest without a second thought to your own safety? Honey...I'm sorry to say, but...you are weaker than me and your brother. Yes I treat you different than your brother, but darling that's because you're my baby girl. That has everything to do with those daddy instincts I mentioned before. You are a pony..." He shushed her when she started to protest and moved her head to rest against his shoulder as he once more ran his fingers through her mane. "But...that doesn't mean you're helpless sweetheart. Look at your mother, she's not helpless. She's a pony without any magic just like you. Even if she was an Element of Harmony, she's still magic-less without it now. Do you ever think that mommy is weak and helpless?" He waited and then smiled when he felt Flitter shake her head. He continued as he gently rocked his daughter. "Besides, if being a pony meant you were helpless. How did your mother tame a ferocious beast like me?" She giggled and nuzzled his shoulder and her tail wrapped around him in a small hug. His heart expanded and he grinned as he nuzzled her back. He kissed her forehead, "That's better...you have inherited your mother's lovely laugh, and it warms your old dad's heart to hear it...now sweetheart...don't think that you're completely off the hook for disobeying me...but we can discuss your punishment tomorrow." He stood up and then laid her down in her bed and pulled the covers over her. He kissed her forehead again and smiled down at her, fighting the tears in his eyes. "I love you Flitterbee...no matter what you are...magic or no...you will always be my daughter...goodnight sweetie…" One more kiss and he left her room, shutting the door behind him. He stood there staring at the wood, his claws still on the handle as his thoughts made him frown. "Will she be okay? You weren't too hard on her were you honey?" He sighed and turned to wrap his arms around his heart. He buried his snout into her mane and nuzzled her. She wrapped her own arms around his neck and also sighed against him. He pulled back and his ears fell as he responded to her question. "She'll be okay...I may have yelled a bit, but I was just so afraid...Fluttershy...if I hadn't gotten there…" "Shh...you did...you and Kibou kept her safe. She's home and she's okay." "Fluttershy I'm still worried though...she just finished telling me...she's upset that she doesn't have my magic..." Fluttershy pulled back and looked at him strangely. She looked at her daughter's room and sighed, "Maybe it's just a phase honey...she's young and I'm sure that it can be pretty confusing for her to constantly be compared to Kibou. I never really thought about it before but...I guess it could upset her that Kibou is an almost exact copy of you and she is one of me…without any magic, I never knew it would be a bad thing?" He chuckled and nuzzled her again, his beautiful wife. "I'm personally happy that she looks like you darling. My two beautiful girls, I wouldn't change a single hair on either of your heads...I just hope what I said gets through to her and she doesn't try a crazy stunt like this again...my heart couldn't stand this again...only worse would have been catching her kissing a colt." He placed his paw over his eyes and Fluttershy laughed, shaking her head. "You're impossible...how could that have been worse?" "Cause I can't tear a colt apart piece by piece and get away with it…" He grumbled and she giggled again at her ridiculous husband as she flew towards their room. "Come on honey...let's go to bed." He brightened and moved to wrap his arms tighter around her and growled against her neck. She sighed and rolled her eyes at him, which only made him grin wider. She has no idea how that only turns me on more… "I meant to sleep…" She stated and he shrugged. Then he dipped her back and grinned at her, "I think I have something better in mind."
