Bye-bye vanity!

Neighbours Emma Dotrice and Mitch Garner have more in common than a general dislike for each other. They're both at career crossroads. She's had to climb back down the company ladder due to a family crisis making her guardian to her 8-year-old nephew, Gabe, and he's been benched from his role as a Major League sports commentator in favour of a newbie with way more Tik Tok followers. Now, thanks to Gabe's curiosity and Mitch's temper, they also share a giant hole in the flimsy wall joining their apartment bathrooms. 

Will Emma and Mitch be able to stand being in each other's space while keeping the damage a secret from their snooping landlord? Or with a little compromise, will they soon like what they see where their mirrors used to be?

She let out a piercing cry as his finger grazed her tight hole. "Fucking answer me" he roared thrusting his middle finger in and out of her whilst devouring her clit, a feeling she was so unfamiliar to. He looked up at her, watching her helpless little face plead for mercy. "Answer......" She couldn't form a sentence "I-......" her eyes widened when he took her clit between his teeth as punishment for not answering. "Maybe......" Alejandro hated her response, it triggered him. He thrusted another finger into her earning another cry. "Who?" He demanded an answer as he angrily fingered her inexperienced pussy. Thrusting in and out in deep strokes, earning a guttural moan each time. "I'll fucking kill him" he spoke huskily, moving up to her jaw, harshly kissing it, still ploughing his fingers inside of her. "Tell me Yara, who the fuck has touched you like this" he bellowed, using his free hand to squeeze her jaw in a menacing grip, making her hiss. He withdrew his hand mid-stroke, bringing his drenched fingers up to her and shoving them in her mouth, making her taste her own juices. "Does he make you this wet?" He dug his fingers deeper into the back of the throat. Inflaming her gag reflexes. She let out a muffled sob.....
