Some are considered `privileged', mutants that were picked up by The Xavier Institute early in their lives, ones who never had to deal with persecution in the streets, whose identities stayed secret while others [those forced to live underground as Morlocks, and those stolen and taken to Genosha as mutant slaves] were handed tougher life experiences, unable to escape their backgrounds. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-1<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THE XAVIER INSTITUTE FOR HIGHER LEARNING Salem Center, NY Sub Level-2b / Med Lab #1 Jean-Paul Beaubier [Northstar] stood in the background and watched [with great interest] as Dr. Mora MacTaggert did extensive exams on one of the mutants rescued from Genosha named: AtlanticStar! AtlanticStar [real name: unknown] looking exactly like Jean-Paul, so much so, that Northstar [and Professor Xavier] believed there HAD to be a genetic link between the two, meaning AtlanticStar was likely Jean-Paul's exact twin! AtlanticStar lay on the exam table while Mora's machines poked and prodded him with electros, needles, and other hi-tech equipment that would determine whether or not the two strangers were related, or just complimentary of each other's looks? The tests were tedious, as Dr. MacTaggert didn't want to make ANY mistakes with her claims! "How'r ye holding up, boyo...?" asked Banshee [Mora's long time fiancé], walking in to check up on Jean-Paul. "Does DNA tests always take so long...?" asked Jean-Paul impatiently, wanting the results quickly. "You know Mora..." laughed Banshee, "...she's meticulous if nothing else...!" he stated, trying to make Jean-Paul relax. "How would you FEEL if he turns out to be your brother...?" "What do you mean...?" asked Jean-Paul, unsure. "Well..." thought Banshee, "...ye've been an only child all ye life, lad..., how would ye feel if someone else was suddenly thrust into ye life...? Wouldn't just be about YOU anymore...!" "Are you calling me self-centered...?" asked Jean-Paul, somewhat annoyed by the question. "Ye were an only child, mate..." reminded Banshee, causing Jean-Paul to remember his childhood [being adopted by wealthy parents, having everything he could ever want at his fingertips]...! "...ye couldn't help being self-centered...comes with the territory!" Jean-Paul looked back over at Mora's lab experiment... "You think I'll feel all loving and big brotherly like Scott felt for Alex when he discovered THEY were brothers...?" asked Northstar, coldly [chap-29 `Family Affair']. "I doubt it! Unlike Scott, I've always been a loner...! Finding out I may have a twin brother's no different than making an A on a report card...!" "But...didn't an A make ye feel good...?" asked Banshee, getting an even colder look from Northstar! "Well doctor...?" asked Jean-Paul, as Mora moved away from the microscopes and removed her goggles. "I've ran DNA, hair strand follicles, fingerprints, saliva, skin grafts, retinal analysis..., everything I could THINK of to determine whether or not unequivocally that this is a biological sibling of yours Jean-Paul..." said Mora, before smiling...! "...and all tests reach the same undisputable conclusion...that you ARE related!" AtlanticStar sat up on the exam table, looking over at his new found brother... "HOW is this possible...?" asked Jean-Paul, looking back as if staring in a mirror! "Well..." speculated Mora, "...you WERE raised in an orphanage..." she recalled, nonchalantly. "...perhaps you both were put there originally as twins, but got separated during the adoption process...? OR perhaps you were taken to two different orphanages...? It happens with siblings in foster care all the time...! Look at Scott and Alex!" "But I never KNEW I had a brother...!" said Jean-Paul, walking up to the table as he and his brother stared into each other's faces! "And HE has no recollection of his past at all...?" "His mind was wiped CLEAN in Genosha I'm afraid..." said Mora, sympathetically. "...just as Storm, Scott, and all the other rescued mutants were...! But Charles is helping them piece together their past lives..., perhaps once his schedule clears...?" "Does he even know his name...?" asked Jean-Paul, feeling sorry for his brother [gently touching his brother's hand]...! "No..." answered Mora, "...but I've taken the liberty of calling him Jacques-Paul..., if that's alright with you...?" she asked. Northstar looked over at the good doctor, then back at his brother... "Jacque is fine...!" he said, giving his approval. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-2<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Sub Level-3c THE DANGER ROOM Bishop walked into the Danger Room's Control Center, then began accessing a program he created by himself. Engaging the room's 3-dimensional programs, he saw the cold metal melt away, giving way to a downtown Manhattan in ruins [the future HE came from]. Accessing Memory Drives, he got to see an incident which really happened in his past life in the future... Images came to life when Mountjoy [disguised in a human female's body] ran into am old dilapidated building to escape Shard [Bishop's XSE sister], Bishop, Wolverine, and Calisto! Mountjoy escaped capture by leaping across [what used to be Fashion Avenue] from one building and into another, disposing the human female in the process as he exited her body and dropped her 10 stories to her death, while continuing his leap! Calisto followed suit, crashing through a different window before rolling to a safe stop to continue his pursuit! Bishop ran across the street and into the building where he searched for Mountjoy, but found his XSE teammate [Calisto] buried under rubble instead! Helping his teammate, Bishop was left vulnerable to Mountjoy's attack [whom had been hiding in Calisto's unconscious body]! Mountjoy took Bishop by surprise, and merged bodies [leaping out of Calisto], taking over Bishop! Bishop fought hard to fight the hostile takeover, but Mountjoy had no intentions of keeping Bishop's body captive, he had only planned to use the opportunity to rape him, forcing Bishop onto his hands and knees! Rising midway out of Bishop's back [facing away], Mountjoy lowered Bishop's pants to reveal his bare ass, then physically pulled apart his meaty ass cheeks to expose the vulnerable hole hiding in-between! Bishop felt completely helpless as Mountjoy lowered his face between his ass cheeks, eating Bishop's asshole for the first time! Bishop watched the rape from the Control Room, hating himself for being put in such a precarious predicament! It was `funny' how life always seemed to throw curveballs, never in his wildest dreams would he have ever believed he'd go back in time and become an X-Man, fall in love with a younger version of Storm, and be teammates with Mountjoy! He was still watching the 3-dimensional images before him when Professor Xavier [in Mountjoy's body] entered the Control Booth, keeping his presence masked from Bishop who had no idea anyone had just entered the Booth with him! Xavier watched the images of Bishop getting his ass eaten by Mountjoy, and couldn't help reached around Bishop's waist to feel the growing hard-on registering in his pants! Bishop was completely unaware that Xavier was in the room, feeling him up with his hand in his crotch, his fingers trailing the lengthy erection snaking down his pants leg! Xavier [the world's greatest telepath] blocked Bishop's senses, making him believe he was still watching the dimensional images when in reality he was about to re-experience another rape! Xavier got down on his knees and undid Bishop's pants, freeing his enormous 9.5" uncut black cock! `Wow, what a specimen...' thought Xavier, examining the cock at his leisure before pulling back the foreskin to take the cockhead in his mouth! Bishop groaned when Xavier's mouth wrapped around his cock, then slid all the way down the shaft to bury in his pubes! Xavier bobbed his head on Bishop's cock, pulling his pants down around his ankles to expose him from the waist down! After getting Bishop's cock super hard and wet, Xavier worked his way around back, parting the black man's ass cheeks before pushing his face up in-between, licking the murky hole! Bishop leaned against the computer consoles as Xavier ate his ass from behind, burying his face in ass and sucking feverously on his hole! Xavier was able to get his tongue further than most people by merging his face into the ass, pushing his tongue deep into the actual rectum! Bishop's anus flexed and squeezed about his face, making Xavier's 8" cock hard with anticipation! He removed his face and stood up, freeing his erection from his pants before forcing it into Bishop's unsuspecting anus! Bishop's face twisted in painful response, but he didn't fight or protest as he continued to watch himself get fucked 3-dimensionally! Xavier buried his tool before bending Bishop over the computers and pounding his ass from behind! "Oh yeah, you're tight...!" groaned the school's founder as he enjoyed the way Bishop's asshole squeezed against his cock! Holding onto the black man's hips, he sawed his cock back and forth as he pulled and pushed his way through the hole! Xavier loved possessing Mountjoy's body, the surplus of adrenaline and endorphins he felt with Mountjoy's natural genetic ability made him horny around the clock! Using his telepathic abilities to block out the senses of his victims allowed him to fuck MORE ass and pussy than he ever would have without! Xavier knew there would always be the possibility that he'd be found out [which is what makes the fuckings SO exciting], with Wolverine being a leading factor, given his Healing Factor and his brain's ability to keep `fixing' itself [restoring his memories] after Xavier makes him forget! It usually takes a while before Wolverine starts to suspect again, but it's inevitable! Xavier decided to really enjoy his freedoms while he had the chance, and butt fucking Bishop was something he'd always wanted to do ever since meeting the bubbled butt black man [back in chap-4 `the coming of bishop']! Xavier forced Bishop face down across the console, then started to hammer hard into his ass, slamming his pelvic bone into his bared backside and driving his pelvis straight through the ass cheeks! With Mountjoy's abilities to absorb a foe into his own body and assume that person's persona, form, and powers, Xavier's strong fuck thrusts sent his pelvis into Bishop's ass cheeks 4 to 5 inches, causing his 8" cock to pummel 12 to 13 inches deeper than normal! Bishop moaned and groaned like an uncomfortable baby, squirming on the end of Xavier's cock as it pounded straight through his rectum to completely pulverize his vitals! Xavier couldn't believe how GOOD it felt to pound someone's intestines! His own cock [in his real body] could never have reached such depths, although Xavier often tricked his sex partners into believing his cock was far bigger than it was! Xavier could feel his orgasm coming on quickly as he hammered into Bishop, his cock piercing the muscled black guy's vitals like a pole straight through the gut! "Oh fuck, I'm about to cum, Bishop...!" he warned aloud, slamming his hips into the bubbled ass only a few more times before finally merging in so deep that his cock was touching into Bishop's stomach! "ARRHHHHHHHH...I'm coming...!" he announced as his cock suddenly erupted and started shooting hot cum directly into Bishop's belly! Xavier held onto Bishop's shoulders as the sperm gushed out of him and poured into Bishop, saturating his belly in rich warm ball sludge! Weakened by the orgasm, Xavier backed away, tucking his spent cock as he slowly backed back out of the Control Room, leaving Bishop back to his training! Bishop finished watching the images before him [having no recollection that he'd just been fucked by Xavier], taking stock in what he'd do the next time Mountjoy decided to take advantage of him...! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Xavier took the elevator back up to the main floor, then walked the indoor corridor until he came out upon one of the balconies overlooking the estate! He could feel the minds of many of the students and staff in the mansion, and worked hard to block them out, giving himself `piece of mind'. It was rare that the X-Men got such a long lull between missions. Many were grateful for the breather after so many bad scenarios plaguing their lives [Genosha, Apocalypse, The Phoenix Saga, --The Sentinels, --the student kidnappings, --and the death and return of Professor Charles Xavier]. And while some hoped it was the beginning of a growing trend [that maybe they just might be able to finally live their lives as CLOSE to normal as HUMANLY possibly]..., there was at least ONE X-Man that benefited from one of the tragedies, --and though some may disagree [saying that he "isn't the same man as before"], Professor Charles Frances Xavier [also known as Mountjoy these days], couldn't care less, for you see: BEFORE, he hadn't had the use of his legs! As Mountjoy, Professor Xavier got the chance to do everything he dreamt of doing in his wildest dreams: [run, walk, swim, drive, dance, play, and fuck]! Living life in a wheelchair, bound forever without the use of his legs, he was severely limited to what he could do. Mentally he was perhaps [argumentatively] the most powerful man on the planet, but physically, he was an invalid! He hated being bound to his chair, but what choice did he have? Dying [slowly losing life on the cold metal table of Dr Trask in Colorado State], Xavier used every ounce of life in his limp failing body to transfer his mind's essence into the brain of the barely conscious enemy of the X-Men. Xavier knew Emma Frost [The White Queen] had completely erased Mountjoy's core essence from existence, reducing his mind to infancy! Even with Xavier's help and years of therapy, chances of Mountjoy regaining the exact same persona was slim at best. Once dying, Xavier choice to inhabit Mountjoy's body, taking over his body and soul! Many may believe the professor's actions unconscionable, many may even believe the professor is really Mountjoy MASQUERADING as Professor Xavier [just waiting for the right moment to pounce and show his true colors], but they would be wrong! Xavier was in total control of Mountjoy's body and awareness, he just no longer that THE CHAIR to humble him, allowing him to be more himself and life like to the fullest! Xavier walked across the large estate in the darkness of night, then stripped naked and stood on the ledge at the `drop off' [cliff] leading over the river [a popular site where the students liked to play `blind man's leap' into the icy cold waters below]! Xavier stared out into the dark abyss, daydreaming about the infinite possibilities of what could go wrong if he hit a rock and injured himself [cracking his back and spine] again? Fear gripped him as the thought of retreating entered his mind, the pain of having to return to his wheelchair prison all too paralyzing as he watched the water crash against the rocks below! As Xavier he had a lot to lose if things went wrong. However as Mountjoy, adventure was nothing if not daring! Knowing Mountjoy's body garnered certain attributes his original body did not [strength and agility], Xavier dove off the edge, diving over 200 feet into the icy cold river below. The cool crisp waters immediately enveloped his body, sending a rush of adrenaline through his limbs as he burst back to the surface, taking a deep breath of air into his rich lungs! Swimming to the river bank, he emerged from the waters feeling aroused again, running his long wiry fingers through the long brown wisp wet hair which cascading over his slim muscular shoulders and wondering if he should pat Bishop a return call...? "Nice dive...!" said Logan, sitting alongside the river's edge smoking a stogie and enjoying the peace and quiet. "Wolverine..." startled Xavier, "...I didn't SEE you there...!" "Quite a jump for a man who neva did a risky move in his life..." said Logan, keeping a wary eye on his friend. "...makes one wonder what the hell's goin' on in yur head, Chuck...!" "Just testing my skills...!" assured Xavier, laughing nonchalantly while hiding his erection! "Yeh..., I remember them `skillz' inna Danger Room..." said Wolvie [referring to chap-37 "MOUNTJOY OR MEMOREX"], sounding more envious than congratulatory. "...maybe one day WE should spar off one on one..., wit'out nobody else innit messin' us up...!" "Maybe we should..." said Xavier, noting the threat in Wolverine's tone! Was already starting to suspect again...? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-3<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THE GUEST HOUSE Warren Worthington III stood in the doorway of the small 4 bedroom cottage lying along Xavier's glorious estate, and watched his boyfriend [Calisto] obsessively lifting weights in the weight-room! He'd seen Calisto lift weights before [during his morning workouts, before bed, etc.], but never with such passion and aggression. He could tell something was bothering him, but Calisto had shut him out, refusing to share his feelings [typical black man]! Calisto fought old demons he long ago thought dead! The mutant EMPATH bought back a lot of bad memories when he mentally invaded Cal's mind and made him relive the time he and his special-ops military team were captured during a mission in hostile territory! Cal thought he'd buried the memories of being physically tortured, beaten and raped, but clearly they still existed somewhere in his subconscious, creating fresh wounds! He pumped iron like a madman, his straining muscles barely noticed as he pushed himself beyond his normal limits! It often takes a lot to make Calisto perspire [his body naturally compensates for his body's temperatures], but be was beginning to show beads of sweat about his brow before he suddenly threw the weights across the room, smashing them into a nearby wall mirror! "Cal..., are you alright...?!" yelled Warren, running in to his lover's aid, kneeling at his feet...! Calisto [unable to look Angel in the eyes] lowered his head into his hands, too ashamed for eye contact! "What's wrong, baby...?" asked Warren, running his hands over Cal's broad [pitch black] shoulders...! "TALK to me...!" "I CAN'T!" screamed Calisto, unable to show vulnerability to the man he loved! He HAD to hold it inside, to suppress it somehow, if he was to be the man he was before...! Angel didn't understand what Calisto's problem was, or WHY he was being so standoffish since coming back from Genosha [see chap-59 `mutant wars']? He wanted his old lover back, and figured the best way to get him was to initiate sex...! Angel reached down between Calisto's legs and began fondling his package through his gym shorts. Calisto instantly stopped panicking when he felt Angel's hands sliding up the leg of his shorts to grab his loose hanging snake [which began to grow in Angel's hand(s)]! "This REALLY ain't a good time for this, hon...!" warned Cal, not really feeling sexual with so much conflicting emotions passing through his brain! Angel opted to ignore his boyfriend and continued fishing for his cock, pulling it out the leg of his mid-quarter shorts! "Don't worry baby..., I'll make you feel better..." assured Angel, bending between Cal's spread legs and taking his immense black cock in his mouth! Calisto leaned back on his hands on the workout bench, letting Warren work his magic! There'd been many times that Angel actually made Calisto forget his troubles by making endless love with him all night! Calisto's stamina and Angel's insatiable sex drive made the odd couple the perfect pair! Angel took Calisto's dark black cock between his pink perfect lips and began sucking, his jaws sinking inwards from suction as he suckled the big bulbous head and swabbed it well with his tongue! Stroking the thick shaft with both hands, he milking the cock as a milkmaid would churn butter, stroking up and down while suckling feverishly about the plum colored head! Calisto tried to block out the memories of his rape as he laid back down against the bench, covering his eyes with his forearms to cast his mind into complete darkness! All he wanted to feel was lust towards his boyfriend again, as Angel worked to make that happen! Angel pulled Cal's shorts off at the waist, then sucked his big thick black 13" uncut cock for 40 minutes, doing his best to make it cum! Having hallow bones like a bird [giving Angel light weight and enabling him to maneuver aerial acrobats easier], Angel was able to unhinge his jaw, allowing him to swallow Calisto's cock down to the root! Calisto felt his cock slipping into Warren's throat, then his esophagus as the angelic mutant's handsome face disappeared in Cal's coal like crotch! "Ooooohhh baby, I LOVE it when you do THAT...!" cooed Cal, feeling Angel's lips nibbling at his thick coarse public hairs! Angel could literally feel Cal's cock in his chest before he corrected his jaw [tightening his mouth] and pulled back up the iron hard shaft! His face and neck reddened from the strain as he suckled gently about the plum like head before purposely unhinging and going all the way back down again! "Oh god..." groaned Calisto, feeling his thick cock squeeze down Angel's warm wet esophagus again! Angel kept his jaw unhinged as he bobbed his head about the base, sawing Cal's cock in and out of his deep throat! Angel had the ability to regulate his breathing [like birds] due to high altitudes while in flight, this also allowed him to deep throat his lover's cock for long periods of time without having to stop for air, essentially letting Calisto's cock believe he was fucking pussy instead of a throat! "Oooohhh baby yur bout to make me cum..." whispered Calisto, looking down over his muscled chest to see Angel literally gorging himself on his cock! Angel heard Cal's warning, and doubled his efforts as he bobbed his head faster! He could feel Calisto's big cock stiffen in his throat and chest, then felt it start to suddenly pulsate as thick gobs of potent sperm gushed into Angel's stomach like a water cannon. Pumping gush after thick creamy gush as Calisto withered and wined on the workout bench! Angel kept his face buried in his lover's groin, taking every ounce of his love before tightening his jaw and sliding back off the cock, milking the now rubbery shaft of the last remnants of his glorious load! Cal sat up on the bench, then roughly grabbed Angel and pulled his face into his... "I love you!" he said before mashing lips and jamming his tongue into Warren's mouth, trying to taste some of his own sperm which had been pumped directly into Warren's stomach! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Pt-4<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< THE SOVIET UNION 18 yr old Peter Rasputin flew back home to Moscow to visit with his family over summer vacation, staying with them at their farm in Siberia [Peter was a Soviet citizen with an American Visa for school, which allowed him the freedom to travel back and forth at will]. Peter's parents [Alexandra and Nikolai] and 6 yr old little brother [Stefan] still lived as farmer in their community. Every morning at 4am, Peter had to get up to help milk the cows, feed the chickens, slaughter the pigs, and plow the fields! It was a hard life, and Nikolai often had farmhands to help him with the chores. While Peter loved spending time with his family, he didn't love the 4am wakeup calls, nor all the farm work they had to put in before finally getting some rest and relaxation! <"America is making you lazy, my son...!"> said Nikolai, shaking his head at Peter's exhaustion at the end of the day! <"You USED to be able to work nonstop for hours..., now look at you, complaining because you don't have enough time to gossip with your friends over the computer...! I have half a mind to pull you from that luxury school of Xavier's...!"> <"Oh, leave the boy alone, Nikolai..."> chimed in the mother, <"...he is good boy..., he brings his mother makeup from America..."> smiled the middle-aged woman, sporting lipstick! <"...and video games for his brother, Stefan...!" she added. Nikolai watched his youngest son playing a handheld game, and shook his head... <"Distractions..."> he called it, <"...keeping us from our work...!"> <"We could all USE a little distraction around here...!"> argued Peter's mother, <"There is MORE to life than just WORK, Nikolai...!"> Peter's father grumbled an inaudible response before disappearing...! After dinner, 6 y/o Stefan played in his room for a while before bed. His parents tucked him in, his mothering kissing his brow before turning off the overhead light [leaving the on a nightlight]. Stefan quickly fell asleep after having a long day, until he was suddenly awakened by an eerie sound. Stefan awoke to find a strange man standing in his room, a scary man that caused him to scream and hide away under the covers for safety! The man walked across the room, then gently pulled the covers down off Stefan's face! <"Open your eyes, little one..."> said the man, his voice sounding warm and familiar. Stefan popped open one eyes curiously, then smiled broadly when he recognized the face staring back at him... <"Peter..."> he beamed, climbing to the foot of the bed. <"...you SCARED me...!"> <"I'm sorry, little brother...I didn't mean to, I just wanted to say good-night to you before you fell asleep...!"> <"Okay!"> smiled Stefan, happy that his big brother wanted to spend some time with him! <"Can I have a hug...?"> asked Peter. Stefan jumped up into his brother's arms, wrapping his tiny arms and legs around him! Peter hugged Stefan back, returning all the love he was given! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Early the next morning Alexandra Rasputin got up with her husband to awaken their sons to work the farm. Nikolai went downstairs to make sure his farmhands were doing the jobs there were being paid to do, when his wife walked into Peter's room and shook the big muscled boy awake. Peter sat up in bed [naked from the chest up] as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes. <"Rise and shine, Peter..., your father is waiting for you downstairs..., I will have a wonderful breakfast ready for you within the hour...!"> she greeted, kissing him on the forehead before whisking off to her younger son's room! "mmm..." sighed Peter, missing his bed in The States! He especially missed being awakened by one of Multiple-Boy's famous early morning blow jobs! Alexandra headed into Stefan's room. She thought it was odd that the boy wasn't the first one up [as usual], bugging his father to take him on a tracker ride! She saw him bundled up under the covers, and fully expected him to jump up and scare her when she tried to uncover him! <"Wake up, sleepy head..."> she called, pulling back the sheets only to find it stuffed with pillows. <"Stefan...?"> she called out, searching under the bed. <"Stefan...?!"> she called, sounding more frantic as she searched the closets! <"Nikolai...!!"> she screamed! Nikolai and Peter came running into Stefan's room... <"He's gone...!"> she said in a panic. <"He's missing!"> <"He's got to be here somewhere..."> reasoned Nikolai, <"...search the house...!"> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 6 yr old Stefan Rasputin awoke in a strange bed! He pulled back and the covers and sat up, looking around the weird room he knew wasn't his! <"MOMMY...DADDY...!"> he cried out, too frightened to jump from the bed as usual! He heard the heavy footsteps of someone approaching outside the archway to his room, his little eyes wide with fear and curiosity as he knew the footsteps didn't sound familiar at all! "Alas, he awakens..." said a chilling voice, causing the small hairs on Stefan's arms to stand on end! Stefan pulled the covers up to his eyes, ready to hide if what he saw was as scary as the voice and footsteps approaching! "...I can't begin to tell you how LONG I've waited for you, Stefan..." said the eerie voice, as a dark red-skinned figure appeared within the walkway, his white pupil-less eyes all aglow! "...I've been DYING to meet you..., and now that you're here..." said the man, stepping into the light to reveal the scary man Stefan saw last night in his dreams...! "...I'm never letting you go!" he laughed! "AHHHHHHHHH...!!!" screamed Stefan, hiding under the safety of the covers!
