10:34:49 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> I could’ve never done this without you

10:34:59 <crushedmarigolds> We’re all capable of change. Sometimes it hurts

10:35:07 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> You know what I feel like?

10:35:16 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> I feel like a new constellation, scabbed in glittering black

10:35:20 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> A smear across the universe

10:35:28 <crushedmarigolds> Wait for the asteroid to come

10:35:40 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> No. I feel like some shapeless cosmic belt, as if the hand of some invisible deity were cradling me in his arms

10:35:49 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> [omitted]

10:35:57 <crushedmarigolds> You know, I wasn’t joking about the underwear…

10:36:05 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Yeah?

10:36:09 <crushedmarigolds> Yeah…

10:36:17 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> I’ve been thinking about it

10:36:29 <crushedmarigolds> And?

10:36:41 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Do you like thinking about me not wearing any underwear?

10:36:48 <crushedmarigolds> It’s a thought I don’t mind

10:36:59 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Maybe you’d like to tell me what else is on your mind?

10:37:08 <crushedmarigolds> Can’t

10:37:13 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Why not?

10:37:19 <crushedmarigolds> It would scare you

10:37:27 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> It wouldn’t

10:37:42 <crushedmarigolds> My thoughts scare me sometimes

10:37:49 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Whatever you’re thinking, I probably want it

10:37:58 <crushedmarigolds> Do you?

10:38:06 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Yeah

10:38:18 <crushedmarigolds> You’d like me to tie your hands with rope above your head and use a leather crop to blacken both of your ass cheeks?

10:38:27 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Yes

10:38:35 <crushedmarigolds> How about I open you up with my fingers until they slide in deep inside, soft gurgling noises clogged in the pit of your throat?

10:38:43 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Yeah. Don’t stop, baby

10:38:49 <crushedmarigolds> You going to open up for Mommy?

10:38:59 <crushedmarigolds> I push in further and you’re fully open for me

10:39:08 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> It’s all for you, Mommy

10:39:12 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> I’m touching myself right now

10:39:19 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Are you?

10:39:30 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Why did you stop?

10:39:51 <crushedmarigolds> Don’t want to scare you away

10:40:01 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> You’re not going to scare me, I promise

10:40:09 <crushedmarigolds> You’re going to ask what I want

10:40:18 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> What’s the matter with that?

10:40:29 <crushedmarigolds> The problem is I know exactly what I want, and it’s something no woman could ever give me

10:40:38 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> I could try

10:40:43 <crushedmarigolds> No

10:40:49 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> You’ve done so much for me. I’m happy to

10:40:57 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> What is it?

10:41:05 <crushedmarigolds> I can’t talk right now

10:41:13 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Is someone there with you?

10:41:22 <crushedmarigolds> No. Nobody’s here.

10:41:28 <crushedmarigolds> I have to go.

10:41:35 <crushedmarigolds> I’ll talk to you later?

10:41:44 <agnes_in_wonderland_76> Yeah. I guess I’ll talk to you later.
