    Hi, I’m Y.K. Greene. Former volunteer worker, teacher’s assistant, tutor, VOD editor, celebrity blogger, porn and sextoy reviewer. Current daughter, sister and wearer of really kick ass boots. I have weird ideas but I’ll try to keep them on the SFW side this time. Maybe. Probably. For a while anyway.

      Family Picnic

      Lilith rolled over, and over, and over, till she fell out of the bed with a muffled thump. She stayed where she fell a moment, dozing on the clothes piled beside the bed, until fuzzy thoughts of being caught in Adrian’s room finally induced her to crack one sleep crusted green eye open.
