Well to be frank I wrote/edited this lemon just to kill the time coz I was extremely bored and also for experiment sake. I had "researched" many lemon chapters from different novels in this platform, combined and edited their styles in one big chapter. I sincerely thank the Authors for producing the "research" materials. Also the Dao of BS and Hentai logic is kinda strong here so please kinda bear it.( ╹▽╹ ) Tags : Smut , Sex , Hentai, Yandere Warning : 13k+ word count.
