*knock knock* You wanted to talk?


Yeah, come in.

Sit down, and shut the door.


In that order?


Yes, in that exact order, you smartass.


So, what's this about?


I didn't just invite you in to be funny with you. I…

It's about you continuing to wear those stars.


Oh sheesh, not again…
I overheard you on the phone. You're gonna hang out with those two again and end up doing something lewd, aren't you?


None of your goddamn business.


Oh, so you are, huh? Just like you did yesterday, right? Isn't that why you were ignoring me all day, when all I wanted was to just talk?


Weellllll…  I didn't do anything, and even if I diiid…


"Even if you did?" Sis, come on, be serious. Just this once.


Look, I don't wanna fight or argue, so if this is all you want from me, I'm getting the fuuuuck outta here~


Emilia, wait!

I'm not trying to argue with you. I simply want you to answer me a few questions as honestly and briefly as possible. Did you do anything yesterday?


I already told you the truth.


Honestly?


Deadass.


And for the last time: is this really what you want to keep doing?


Like. I. Keep. Saying.

This is my choice to make. You're never gonna be able to hold me back. You're never gonna control me. And you sure as hell are never gonna own me.

Stop. Trying.


I . . . I still don't think this is a good idea, but if this is how it's gonna be…


I really want to hold her back, maybe even make her my own, but… if it's not what she wants, there's no point. If I can never make her see me as a boyfriend, there's no point. What we did was special and will probably happen again, but it'll always have to be just another one-off thing for us, as it has been this past week.

It's a little sad, but . . . No, I have to.
Fine then. I'll stop.


Oh…?


*sigh* I know I shouldn't try to hold you back or control you. It was wrong of me, and I realize now that all I was, was being overprotective…


Is this some kind of reverse psychology bullshit?
No, wait… I think he might actually be serious…
It was selfish of me, and -


That's all you ever needed to say.


…That I'm selfish?



Your support, you asshole! That's all I ever wanted from you!
Y-yeah, hahaha… I get it now…

I just didn't want to believe it, but you've grown. You're not the same, stupid, vulnerable little girl I remember you as, and I know I can't hold you back. I couldn't, not even if I wanted to. Besides, I know you'll be fine, and keep a level head about you. I know this village is a safe place for you with a near-zero crime rate, I know you're smart and responsible, and -


Will this bloody lecture ever stop?


*chuckle* There's just no pleasing you, is there?


No, I'm happy.


Then I'm happy too.


I-I'm just a little surprised . . . Is there a dog buried here somewhere?


Not at all. I just wanted to tell you this.


Okay. Thanks.


And promise me you let me know if someone hurts you. I'll have your back.


Ever the valiant protector, are you?


I will kill if I have to.


Okay, I promise then…


I'm sorry.


I love you Sven… I love you a lots…


I love you too, Emilia.


Let's go downstairs already. I think lunch is just about ready to be -


Just one more thing.


Ohhh, s-so … you finally noticed the black star I was wearing…

Wh-whatever shall I do…


Oh, fuck off. I know you wouldn't.

I just forgot to add this: if I ever see any marking on you - a star, a crucifix, or Mjölnir for all I care - I will take full advantage of it, and there's nothing you can do about it.


Of course you would. You perv.





OhmygoshohmygoshohmyGOSH! Why did I do that!? Why did I tell him about the black star when all I was supposed to do was keep it hidden from his view!?
Still, what a thrill… My heart is still pounding SO hard… I know I hid it well underneath my shirt, but if he actually found it, I would've been in SOOOO much trouble, especially considering what he said before we went downstairs… He was stealing glances all the way through the lunch too, probably wondering if I was being serious or not…
Ahhh, but he blew it! His only chance to hold me back today and he BLEEEW IT!
Still, maybe I should continue to tease him in the future? Hide a star here, maybe another there, see if he actually keeps good on his word … have him rough me up a little with his dick! And speaking of which, since I didn't end up trying anything lewd yesterday, maybe today I'll finally take that next big step. Find myself a date, and then do this and that and who knows what…

Now, where did I put that pink pen … and a kleenex with some disinfectant … GOD I hate this stupid pandemic so fucking much, but at least this shit is good for getting rid of markings… I might even have to stock up…
Now, to get rid of this thing…


What's that, Emilia?


Eek!


What did she see!? The pen on the table!? The black star!? I mean, I didn't scrub it off yet…
S-sheesh, learn to knock, mom… I'm just writing on a Post-It note…


A little reminder for when you get home?


Yeah, you know . . . Log-in rewards for that one mobile game I ranted about yesterday…


Oh, Emilia, did you really think I wouldn't notice? Who do you think does the laundry in this house? The smell and the stains on your panties were unmistakable! You naughty, scandalous little slut…

But should I really tell her that? I don't want to embarrass her, but… she might need some words of warning… maybe even encouragement?
Emilia…


. . .


Remember to be punctual. When is it time to come home?


Whew…
Six o'clock it is, mom.


It's at eight again, sweetie.


Seriously?


No good deed goes unrewarded in this household. You've been punctual, and you've been helping around the house a lot. Here's your weekly allowance.


500 Kronor!? Mom, I won't forget this. You're the best.


Just don't waste them on that mobile game. They're all scam.


Gosh, mom, I know…


Call me if you decide to eat outside with your friends again. I'll cover it too.


Thanks, love you. I'd like to change now, so pretty please…?


Ufufu, I'll be downstairs if you need anything!


She didn't suspect a thing… Thank fuck…

Now, let's see… maybe I'll wear a skirt today? It is 30°C outside, after all. The summer just keeps getting hotter and hotter, so I won't need too many layers… also easier to peel them off, if need be… so how about… a white tank top, yes please. I bought this during Stockholm Open two years ago, if I recall correctly. A little on the tighter side, but who cares? The boys probably won't. I'm surprised it still fits. And then, how about my favorite flared skirt with cute white knickers underneath? Good, good…

There are fewer places to hide a star with this outfit, but… maybe that's a positive…?

Milka should still be home since I left an hour early. It'll be a little surprise visit, after which we can go to our meeting place together and wait for Heidi.




My little angel, a Star-Bearer? I knew, just like Ludwig knew, this was gonna happen eventually, but this soon…? We've barely been living here for a week, and now she's showing up home with cum-stained underwear. I wonder whose cum was it? Whoever he was, they must've had a good time! She's been absolutely glowing with positive energy recently!

I also wonder, is she a dom like me, like my husband is, or is she - considering she's a Star-Bearer - maybe a sub? I'm very curious about her development … which absolutely DOES include her sexual development. I almost want to ask her right away, but…

No, I won't tell her I know yet, but I guess I have to start getting used to the thought, huh? As does Ludwig. Maybe after I have a talk with him first, we can decide together whether to discuss this with her or not…




I'm home!


Well, would you look at that. The troublesome son has come to visit his poor old mother.


Well, I've been away for a long time, so obviously I wanted to pay a visit.


Hmph.


Oh, come on! Not even a smile?


Milka is on an errand. Once she's back, take her and leave.


Makes sense for Sanni to keep the door open on such a warm day, as it'll attract more customers. Oh, and she's already got one? At least based on what I'm… hearing…

It actually sounds more like an argument…
. . . You're just never gonna forgive me, are you?


I will forgive you when you've met your fair comeuppance, Joker.

Oh, that's right, you even lost that title.


You're so mean…


Lauhatar should've plucked your eyes when she had a chance, but she took pity on you.


It was HER - CHOICE of a fair punishment, and I have paid my just fine. You should finally forgive me too. After all, you are her Ace, and you're supposed to represent her.


…I'm so confused…
You have learned nothing.


I have learned from my mistake. How many times do I need to say it?


Empty words.


You KNOW it was a difficult time for me.


Bah! Yet you continue to indulge. You star-gaze every waking moment of your stay here, and sooner or later, you will once again force yourself on a -


IT. - WASN'T. - LIKE. - THAT.


That's it. Keep interrupting me and making excuses. That'll win me over.


Pippi forgave me, so why can't you?


Because I don't have to. This IS your punishment, as instructed by Lauhatar.


Did she really say "force yourself" before she was interrupted? It almost sounds like she's accusing this person of rape…
Emmy! What'cha spacing out 'bout?


O-oh, hi. It's just -


Move your butt! You're blocking the way!


Welcome! …Oh, it's just you whippersnappers.


Papa! You're home!


That's her dad? Wait, so what the fuck did I just witness!?
Milka! It's so good to finally see you again!


Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?


I was able to finish up my work earlier than usual, so I decided to surprise you. And you know I wouldn't miss Midsummer's Eve!

Oh, but it looks like you didn't come alone. Did Heidi dye her hair or something?


Awwww, you dummy! You know that's not Heidi!


Pleased to m-meet you. My name is Emilia.


Oh, now I remember you, little miss Björnquist.


S-so, you remember me, huh…


…But I don't remember you, sadly. Still, there's no way a man like this would be some sort of a… a rapist? He's got such a genuine smile too. Surely I must've misunderstood or heard wrong…

Still, can't help but feel a little nervous around him…
Regrettably, I must bid you adieu. I want to spend time with my dear Milka.


Did you bring any souvenirs from Argentina?


You bet. I bought you some toys!


Papa… You know I don't play with stupid toys anymore…


I'm just pulling your leg. I brought you clothes and some of those yummy "Alfajores" you love.


Yummy indeed…


I guess I'm just hanging out with Heidi then.


Yeah… I'm sorry, Emmy…


It's cool. I know this is more important for you.


We'll play the day after tomorrow, okay?


Okay, see you around then.


Yeah, see you!


There she goes with her beloved Papa. I think I should call Heidi right away then, and -
Stay where you are.


Umm, but -


No buts. I'm closing the store.

Upstairs. Now.


Uhmm…


You heard something you weren't supposed to, and now I need to make sure you keep your mouth shut.


M-my lips are sealed, d-don't you worry…


Could I actually be in trouble? I hope not…
Hmph, you're a terrible liar.

Want anything? Juice? Soda?


I'm full, thank you for asking…


Fine. So, how much did you overhear? From what point onward?


From around when you called him a Joker…?


Ex-Joker. Now just a pretender.

Phah! Good riddance.


What's a Joker?


They're Kostikki's own Star-Bearers. Enforcers of his will. They're sent by him to punish little brats who stick their noses in businesses that don't belong to them.


So I AM in trouble…


Not this time you aren't. But if you break the rules, you will be.


Thank God…
No, no, this was my fault. You didn't know what you were walking into. I apologize for that, and now I think I owe you an explanation. Can't have you going around asking stupid questions.


It sounded serious… almost like you were accusing him of something… horrible…


Have you met Pippi?


Can't say I have…


Blonde, twenty years old, stunning hourglass figure, and a pair of massive jugs she likes to show off in a bikini. Often hangs out at the beach on lifeguard duty.


Still doesn't ring a bell.


My son raped her.


I-I heard that, but… I just thought it was some kind of misunderstanding…


No, it happened seven years ago, a few weeks after his wife passed away. He was understandably heartbroken, and he was looking for an outlet for his… tastes, let's just say. He knew that Pippi was a Star-Bearer, and he sought her out. He got lucky and caught her with a little pink diamond. Then, he went too far.

I don't know whether it was anger, sadness, or madness that took over him, but he took certain liberties with her and wouldn't listen to her when she said "no" and begged him to stop. Supposedly, he couldn't help himself because he saw his wife in her, but it isn't an excuse for what he did.


You almost make it sound like you saw it happen.


Hmph. Lauhatar told me everything.


Seriously?


I know she's a little quirky, but really? Talking to gods? I know Milka mentioned this too, but shit's just too unbelievable, even for me…
Yep. She decided that the harshest possible punishment he could ever get for his crime was for his own mother to know. Nonsense, I tell you. Should've blinded him.


I mean, based on what I heard, it is quite a punishment. You're still angry at him.


You're soft. And a fool.


I didn't mean to offend . . . But Pippi forgave him, right?


A soft fool in her own right. Yes, she forgave and exonerated him of all wrongdoing because she felt pity for him. Said she understood and felt his pain, and only begged him to stop because she wanted to calm him down, "not because she hated it or anything." Bah, what a fool.


So, what he did was wrong, because he didn't listen to her . . . but if she forgives him, what's the problem? I'm almost afraid to ask… but I guess it might be because she only forgave him after a while or something…
Like I said, none of this was meant for your ears. Only me, my son, Pippi, and the gods are supposed to know. And now you too, I guess, because of my carelessness. Nobody else should know.


Right.


Especially do not mention a word of this to Milka. Got it?


I won't tell her. Or anyone else, for that matter. I promise.


But still, I'm not here to blame you for eavesdropping or myself for getting angry at my son. I'd rather move on and talk about you.

Have you decided to try wearing the stars yet?


It's a little embarrassing to tell her, but then again, she used to be like that too. And she's the one who wrote all that stuff that got me interested in the first place. So, I guess it's okay to be open with her. Maybe she can even teach me something.
Cat got your tongue?


Y-yes, I-I mean… I've done it two times now.


Did you have fun? Did it feel good?


It was fun…


That makes me so glad, and I thank you for keeping the tradition alive.


I'm happy to do it!


Milka showed you that book and taught you the ropes. She must've told you a lot. Did she mention how I was like you back in the day?


She did, yes. She also told me you were chosen.


Oh, did she now?


Yeah, and . . . Umm, there wasn't anyone else back then, so someone HAD to do it.


Oh, Milka. Well, she isn't entirely wrong, because chosen I was indeed. But I wasn't the only one. There were others around our age.


To keep Kostikki happy, right?


Bhah, that was the reason given to us per tradition. The truth is, Kostikki is notoriously easy to keep happy. Just don't provoke him; that's the real lesson you should learn.

No, no, the real reason was to revive an age-old tradition in an age where all we had were rumors and folktales of an enchanting little Huldra who would lure men into forests and not let them go unless the men would have sex with them. An exaggerated folktale, yes, but born from a kernel of truth. After all, all of this had been going on before, but now, simply lost and forgotten.

It was a different time back then. Sex was considered even more taboo than it was now, and promiscuity was frowned upon. We didn't care. We were three little preteen girls, and we were all hormonal and curious about sex. Oh, we were so horny we didn't even know how much we wanted it. Lauhatar knew, though. She saw through us and knew of our deepest desires, and she appeared before us all. "Bear my mark and become the little Huldra the men speak of in their folktales", she said. "Lure men to the woods in my name and feel liberated in fulfilling your wildest fantasies."

And then, when June came around, on the brightest and sunniest of summer nights, we wore beautiful floral crowns and little stars on our cheeks, and lured men to the woods as instructed. We did so to have sex with them and felt liberated and happy doing so. We told them about the star, about Lauhatar, and gave them a reason to desire us, and let me just tell you, they adored us! It felt so rewarding. We even built a faerie ring in the meadows by the beach, not too far from where you now live. It was our secret little spot where we would have group activities. Oh, and these were wild orgies, and were treated so well. The men treated us like little princesses, soft and gentle, but when push came to shove, they loved us oh-so roughly like vigorous beasts.

Ah, forgive me, it must be boring listening to the ramblings of an old lady.


No, that was actually pretty interesting. Wild orgies in the woods, huh…


That's what I want for every single Star-Bearer. I want you to feel as happy and liberated as we were back in the day.


But were you not at least a little afraid?


Well, the first time is always the most awkward, but the boost of confidence you get after losing your virginity…


Okay, can relate…


Besides, what was there to fear? Sure, the traditions had been forgotten, and the rules weren't known back then, but there still were many stories about the woodland nymphs and how dangerous they can be. That much remains the same across every legend. If treated well and with respect, she would shower men with generosity and love, but if she felt betrayed, she would lead men to horrible, painful deaths. Sound familiar? Those who wrong the Star-Bearers will always pay. Maybe not with death, but one way or another.

Pheh, just another reason why the good old days were the best. Rules weren't needed because people knew and feared the legends.


I guess that's why she's having so much difficulty forgiving her son.
You said there were three of you. Since you and my own grandmother were close friends, then was she also…?


Oh yes, she was a Star-Bearer, just like me. In fact, you remind me a lot of her. Same hair, same face, even the same soft voice, and the curious personality…

If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're the very reincarnation of her.


Haha, am I really THAT much like her?


Appearance-wise, at least. But whether you prove yourself to be just as great of a woman still remains -



"Just wanna be, wanna bewitch you in the moonlight."
Ah! Mind if I answer?


Not at all.


Heidi! What's up?



Milka just texted me and said she can't come.
Yeah, I know. I met her a while ago.



Are you still up?
Of course I am! Where do you wanna meet? I'm still at the Ahlroos store, so maybe the park?



Be there in ten!
Okay, see you! *click*

I guess that's my cue to leave then.


Before you leave, I still have one more word of warning for you, if you can bear one more long lecture from a grumpy old woman.


A warning? Better listen, I guess…
I'm all ears.


Do you know why it really is important to follow the rules?


Because it will make the gods angry, or…?


. . .


Is that a no? Umm, because . . . I will get cursed by the gods?


You're so naïve it hurts. Gods and spirits are dangerous creatures indeed, and you'd be right to heed the old folktales, but it's simply their nature. Just as a mama bear will protect its cub, so will a god defend its territory and sphere of influence. True evil lies within your fellow man.


…M-meaning?


There are certain kinds of corrupting forces here who want to push you off the path of liberation under the pretense of performing Kostikki's will and trying to somehow make him even happier. Phah! Lies, all of it. At best, it's a sick, perverted bastardization of reality that misguided fools tell to pressure you. At worst, it's an outright lie from selfish people who simply want to control and own you. What do you think happens when you give them the opportunity, or when these kinds of people find you after you've been marked for punishment?


I-I'm unsure if I even want to know…


They're given a sprint, but they take a mile. See, this is what people don't understand about Kostikki: the bare minimum is more than enough for him, and no more should be given. Not even when dispensing punishment.


I understand that, but aren't there also people who actually want it?


Huh?


Milka and Heidi told me that love could take many forms. That there is no right or wrong way to enjoy sex… and if someone gets curious…


Do you even understand what you're asking me right now, child?


I mean, it was even in your booklet… The stuff about bearing a black star willingly and self-imposed punishments… I really want to hear your opinion and -



IDIOTS! Both of them!
She sounds so angry. I'm afraid to even speak out anymore…
Still . . . *sigh* They are not wrong, but I am fearful. Fearful of history repeating itself and even worse things that could happen. They say you shouldn't feed a wild moose, not because of what might happen if you do, but because of what will happen the next time when you have no food to offer him. And, just like with the moose, if you give Kostikki more than what he needs, he will eventually start asking more and more. What will happen when a small sacrifice is no longer enough? What will happen when he begins demanding more than what most would consent to? Would you give up your agency and willingly be enslaved to the will of an egotistical god? And if you're happy to bear the chains, what of your friends, hmm? Will they be so understanding when the gods come knocking on their door demanding the same?

Look, I'm not trying to scare you or tell you what is morally right or wrong. I can only give you my honest, most sincere opinion. Stay on the path of sexual liberation laid before you by Lauhatar. It is a beautiful path to walk on and will make you feel happy in ways you didn't even know possible. It served me well, as it served your grandmother.

Please, just stay safe out there.


I . . . I will remember this.


You'd be well to. Now, bugger off. I have a store to run.


She seemed super grumpy and overly serious at first, but I'm guessing she just really wants us to be safe. Her inability to forgive his son for his crime when the gods and the victim herself could, and her fear over Kostikki's corrupting influence and what it might bring along… I guess this all plays into her superstition and all those old folktales she knows so much about. Like, I don't even know what a freaking Huldra is. And she sure made it sound like there's some truth to all this mythological mumbo-jumbo. Sure makes me wonder…

All I know is that sex feels great and makes me happy. I want to continue playing this game, and I want to try more. A lot more, maybe even extreme things. Her recounting some of her experiences made me want to try that stuff too. Midsummer's Eve is just in seven days, so I will definitely have permission to stay outside around midnight to watch the bonfire…
Now I really wanna have sex in the forest in the middle of the night!
Since Heidi isn't here yet, maybe I'll mark myself already.

Hmmm, that's not quite on my cheek, but still visible enough. My little tribute to Sanni…




There you are!


A beautiful day, is it not.


Oh, you naughty, naughty girl. Already wearing a star, and in such a visible place too?


I'm no longer afraid. Summer is short, and I want to do more.


Don't think that the fun stops with summer! Think about what kind of fun wearing a star in school could lead to, or the amount of tourists you could hook up with when the ski season rolls around. It's just a short bus ride to Åre…


Or the amount of locals who could see that star on your right shoulder and take advantage of you right now?


Oops! *giggle*

I must say, you've come far. When we taught you the rules, I was certain it'd take at least a month for you to get interested for real, but you're already like this!


This is the most fun I've had in a long while. Sven has been awesome so far, but I'm ready to move on.


Fantastic! But what happened? Milka didn't tell me anything!


Her father's home. He picked her up, and they went off. That's all I know.


Oh, so that's what happened. I should've known.


Yeah, I mean, I understand perfectly why. Sometimes my dad gets deployed overseas for months, and I always miss him so much…


Awwww, a daddy's girl through and through!


But… that's not that I meant… hmmmm, say…

Hey Emilia!


Yes?


"I know what we're gonna do today!"


Quoting Phineas this time, I see.


We're going to Trolleby!


Another village?


Yes! Three kilometers to the west. That's where Milka's "Papa" lives…


My parents will kill me if they learn I wander too far off from home…


But it's no fun to go alone. You have to come with me! That's an order Star-Bearer! Tee-hee!


Fine…


Yay! You see, we're gonna spy on them…


Oh, now I get it. This is exactly the same situation as a week ago, is it? Milka dragged me along with her and we… violated your privacy…


Now you get it…

See, I know exactly what they're doing…


Just like that? Somehow, I doubt it.


I wasn't born yesterday, sister.


Well let's go see, then!





Where even are we? Heidi said it's just three kilometers to Trolleby, but I didn't expect us to walk some dirt road through the forest. Now it's just pines and spruces as far as the eye can see, but I think we're by the lake. Lots of cottages here…
I don't get it though.


Get what? Them shagging?


Well, I mean…


You think you're the only one in this world with hots for the men in her family?


But… this feels different. She just never struck me as being like that.


Because she's embarrassed about it!


Hard to imagine her being embarrassed about anything.


*chuckle* I knoooow! She's so out of control at times. In fact, did I tell you about when -

. . .

Wait… is someone there?


Hmph. Caught me. Hey stranger.


Huh? 'scuse me?


Well go on. I like stories too. Unless they're only good enough for your strumpet.


Strumpet…?


Do I… know you?


Really? Stella. Last summer. Ring any bells?


Oh, right… Oh, right! Of course I remember you.


Hmmph.


We umm... we had some fun, didn't we?


That fun ended a bit too abruptly, don't you think?


Yeah, I am sorry about that… I wanted to exchange contacts so we could stay in touch, but it was an emergency…

But enough of that. Where did you come from?


I noticed you walking with your friend a while back. I've been tailing you since.


You should've said something then!


I'm sorry… Who is this?


Ah! Emilia, this is Stella. We went on a little date last summer…


Is she your new girlfriend?


It's not like that. We're just friends!


Oh, is she? Figures, since she is wearing "PINK", right? Who are you even hoping to fuck out here? A garden gnome?


Well, maybe not that, hahaha…

I'm just ready for whatever, y'know… that's the whole point of wearing a star in the first place, is it not?


If you were truly ready for anything, you would be wearing a . . . different color…

And speaking of which, Heidi, why are you wearing pink? Don't you wear purple anymore?


I still do, sometimes…


Did you misplace your marker?


No, I just . . . You know, mood swings…


Could I swing your mood, maybe?


Stella, I like you and all, but we're kinda -


Claim me.


What? Black!? No, just a darker shade of blue…
*giggle* Who's misplacing markers now?


Gosh, you're so anal. It's blue. BUH-LUUE.


…Wait…

…Black…
Look, I'm touched, and I really would like to spend more time with you, but we're kind of in a hurry.


To do what?


Spying on someone naughty.


Dope. Can I join?


…I forgot to rub the black star off! Damn you, mom! Why did you have to interrupt me!? WHYY didn't you say I had one on me!?
Sure! We can hang out! Right, Emilia?


Y-yes, right…


Cool. I'll come… but only if you claim me like your "just a friend" here.


Really, I swear she's just a friend.


Still...


Oh, you! Alright. Sure. You're mine now, Star-Bearer. Happy?


Very. Now come 'ere…


H-huh-mmmMMM…! *slurp* 💗


…Wait, they're making out now!? I know Heidi just claimed a blue star, but… they're going at it in the middle of a public road… a dirt road, but still…
Mmm… *smooch* Mmm-phaaah! 💗

W-w-what are y-you -


I've been thinking about you forever. You made me feel soooo goooood when we last met, but then you just disappeared, off to fuck some guy… you whore.

I saw you in the bushes… Was I not good enough for you?


I… *pant* …I had to…


"Do I know you?" You didn't even recognize me at first, despite how passionately you made love to me… Am I really so forgettable?


W-well I still remembered the way you kiss…


Then kiss me more.


W-wait a littl -mmhh! Mmm-t-time…! 💗


What, and let you go again? I'm so not finished with you.


Oh my gosh, I love this! Just throwing herself at me! She's so good!
That's such a deep kiss, and Heidi's all for it. Holding her close, rubbing her waist, and… now she's even grabbing that girl's butt…

And this… Stella, she's even sticking her tongue into her mouth so nonchalantly, grabbing a fistful of Heidi's hair to keep her closer, lifting her shirt a little…

Who is this girl...?

Wait, what the fuck am I waiting for? I need to rub the black star off while they don't see! No, it won't work! The special markers Heidi gave me are rub-resistant! Water, I need water! But where!? The lake!? Where the fuck is it!? Which direction!? Wait, my spit should work! I'll just lift my shirt, and…

But if I do, they'll see! I can just keep it hidden under my shirt, where it belongs! Hidden… it's not hidden… this damn white shirt is just transparent enough! Why did I have to pick a white tank top!? Fuck, I can see it so clearly myself, right next to my navel! Since Heidi hasn't pointed it out, then maybe -
