You love your boyfriend, you really do. And he isn’t a bad boyfriend. He just isn’t necessarily a good boyfriend either. The easiest way to put it is that he’s neglectful. In every sense of the word. It’s not out of character for him to forget to pick you up from your late night shifts at the bar you work at. He is constantly forgetting your plans, or just flat out ditching them in favor of hanging out with his friends. He never cleans up after himself unless you ask, and even then the chances are slim that he will actually do it. You’re pretty sure he doesn’t even know how to turn on the dryer. Why would he need to? He knows if he leaves the piles of dirty laundry long enough you’ll get sick of it and wash them yourself. And last but certainly not least, he is the least financially responsible person you’ve ever met. He misses work to the point where he gets fired from every job he’s ever had. He spends all his money on partying and eating out. And now? He’s screwed you out of your apartment that he hardly even pays for since he’s always late on bills.

He decided that having a fucking rager on a Tuesday night in your small apartment complex instead of picking you up from your double shift was a bright idea. You ended up having to get an uber home, which you absolutely couldn’t afford and by the time you made it home your place was trashed and your boyfriend was out front being hauled into a cop car. Apparently when your landlord asked him to shut the party down he got all agro and started screaming and arguing that it was his house and he can be as loud as he wants. And when your landlord didn’t agree? He punched him in the face. So he called the cops and they took him down to the station to cool off. This wasn’t the first time he was asked to break up a party like this, but it was the last. Your landlord evicted him and even though he hardly paid you still couldn’t afford it without even that small amount of help.

He ended up calling his dad from the police station to come bail him out and of course he did. He always does. That’s why Caleb Cameron can’t account for a single goddamn thing in his life, he always has daddy’s money to bail him out. That’s why you are where you are now, staying with his dad, for the foreseeable future. After Mr. Cameron bailed Caleb out, he offered you both a place to stay at his house. His nice house that he built. Which you of course tried to decline.

But after much convincing from both Cameron men, you agreed to move in while you save money to get another place on your own. His dad doesn’t need help with any of the bills but he asked that you and Caleb keep up on the chores and take turns making dinner every night. You’ve been here for a few weeks now and so far you’ve been doing everything. Caleb hasn’t even picked up a single sock off the ground.

Mr. Cameron or “Rafe” as he’s asked you to call him several times now, isn’t bad. He’s been very kind and generous to you since the moment you met him. Which wasn’t until the other day. Caleb never wanted to introduce you to him. You’ve seen him around and of course you know of Rafe Cameron, this island isn’t very big. But from what you can tell their relationship isn’t the best so you’ve never actually had a conversation with him up until now.

He’s been easy to coexist with though. He’s surprisingly low maintenance. Rafe spends most of his day working with the guys on his construction team and then he comes home and showers. If you aren’t working a late shift you always have dinner ready. He comes downstairs in fresh sweats and pops open a beer. Then you, him, and Caleb all eat together. At least you’re supposed to, Caleb was only here the first night you moved in, he’s spent every other night out. Leaving you and his dad to eat dinner together alone.

Tonight is one of those nights. Caleb went out to the bar with his friends, even after you told him you were making his favorite dinner for him. He left before it was even done. Rafe will be home anytime now though. You’ve noticed he’s usually home around five thirty so you have dinner ready and kept warm by five. You made chicken parmesan from scratch and it’s in the oven set to warm while you sit at the shiny marble kitchen island, doom scrolling on your phone. You hear a key in the lock and you hate that ears perk up. The door opens and you hear keys being dropped in a glass bowl before footsteps sound toward the kitchen. It takes him a few seconds to come into view because you also hear him unlacing his work boots, but when he does? You can’t stand that your stomach swoops at the sight of him.

Not only is Rafe generous, successful, cleans up after himself without being asked, he’s always on time and he always asks how your day is. He’s fucking gorgeous. His piercing blue eyes make your skin heat each time they’re on you. His messy mullet seems like he’s been cutting it for years, which there’s just something charming about. Like he could have someone do it for him but he’d rather just do it himself because it’s cheaper and easier. Not that he’s hurting for money. His dad might have cut him off and left him with nothing but once he found out he was having Caleb he refused to be like him. He built his own construction company from the ground up and worked odd jobs to get to that point so his son would never want for anything. His personality just makes him even more frustratingly sexy. It doesn’t help that his thick arms that always seem like they’re going to burst out of his t-shirts are covered in tattoos and his smile, god his smile, it gives you butterflies from your stomach down to your pussy. He always looks particularly edible when he gets off work though.

“Hey, Caleb here?” Rafe walks into the kitchen wearing dirty work jeans and a carhartt coat, his face has a few smudges on it and he really tests your strength when he pulls the jacket off. He’s only wearing a tight white tee that’s just as dirty as the rest of him, his broad chest and thick arms on display. You feel like you’re going to go insane when he reaches up to run his fingers through his hair and it causes his shirt to ride up and show a sliver of waist. You finally pull your eyes away from his body to meet his own and he has a brow raised in your direction. God, how long have you been ogling him? Hopefully he didn’t notice. Fuck.

“Oh, uh- no, he went out.” You let out a small sigh and shrug your shoulders trying to play it off like you don’t care. Like you didn’t make his favorite meal because you’ve hardly had any time together recently. Like you didn’t hope you could eat together then snuggle up and watch a movie together, maybe fuck. But apparently whatever party he went to tonight held priority over his own girlfriend.

“Mmm, he seems to go out a lot, huh?” Rafe chuckles and his lips quirk into a small smile but you can see the sadness in his eyes. Caleb is avoiding him and you both know that. But it’s not like him ditching you to go out is a new occurrence. “Well, I’m gonna go shower.”

“Kay, dinner is ready whenever you’re done. I waited to eat.” You don’t respond to his question about Caleb, you both know the answer, it doesn’t need to be said. His eyes linger on you for a moment and you don’t miss the way they flash to your thighs in your little sleep shorts momentarily before he turns and exits the room. You hate that just the smallest attention from him has your skin tingling. You’re just lonely, that’s all it is. He’s your boyfriend’s dad, you can’t have a crush on him. It’s just a fleeting attraction. You’re not blind, the man is walking sex. And it’s been almost two weeks since you’ve been fucked.

Around twenty minutes later Rafe comes downstairs and grabs his beer like he always does. Then he wanders into the dining room where you have the table set with dinner dished up. There’s an empty plate in front of the chair beside you in case Caleb decides to come home. But you know he won’t. Which makes it all the more hard to not drool over the way his dad is wearing grey sweatpants and a tight black tank top like it isn’t the sluttiest outfit a man could possibly wear.

Rafe could say the same about you though, sitting there in your little pajama shorts and a cropped tank top with a tiny zip up hoodie that you have unzipped halfway so it’s hanging off one of your shoulders. Smiling up at him from his dining room table that has never been set a day in its life up until you moved in with a warm meal prepared for him after a long day. It’s something he’s always wanted, someone to come home to, someone that cooks him meals that aren’t take-out or from the microwave. And he hates how sweet and full of life you are. He hates it because he loves it. You blast music and dance around while you clean. You bring the kind of noise to this house that was otherwise so quiet sometimes he felt like any sound he made bounced off the walls. And you’re so fucking pretty it almost hurts.

Especially because he can never have you. Not only is he old enough to be your father, you’re his son’s girlfriend for fucks sake. But that doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy your presence. Especially if Caleb isn’t going to. He loves his son with all his heart but just in the short time you’ve been here he’s noticed he isn’t very attentive with you. He wishes that didn’t disappoint him and also fill him with something that is tinged with jealousy that he pushes away immediately. He just doesn’t like to see his son taking a woman like you for granted. If he had someone like you? He’d worship at her feet and do anything he could to make her happy. He really needs to find a way to control these thoughts he’s been having about you because it seems like they intensify the more time he spends around you and he can’t let a small attraction that he can tuck away in the back of his mind become anything bigger than that. Not with you. He’s just getting older and more lonely every year and you’re beautiful, easy to talk to, and living in his house, wearing those little tank tops and tight yoga pants. It’s just some minor lust, that’s all.

“I made chicken parm and there’s uh - mashed potatoes and sauteed veggies.” You gesture to the food on his plate as he sits down in the chair across from you.

“Thanks, looks good.” Rafe clears his throat and cuts a piece of chicken from his plate, bringing it between his lips with a groan that has you clenching your thighs. “Damn, that’s delicious. This is Caleb’s favorite, right?”

“Oh, uh, yeah. I’m sorry he’s not here.” You sigh and look down at your plate, pushing some food around with your fork. Mentioning the lack of your boyfriend’s presence has another wave of disappointment washing over you. You’re starting to wonder why you even get your hopes up anymore.

“You don’t need to apologize for him, he’s a grown man.” Rafe’s expression hardens slightly, he can’t help it. You made Caleb his favorite dinner and he flaked on you? Not only is he disappointed as his father but he also can’t believe any man would take your sweet gestures for granted. He’d die to have someone be this attentive with him. “I’m sorry he isn’t here.”

“Ha! He’s a grown man, you don’t need to apologize for him.” You throw his words back at him with a smirk and it makes him chuckle, the tension in the air starting to dissipate.

“Well, you got me there.” Rafe runs his hand over his head turning sideways under the guise of having to stretch but really he’s hiding the little smile that you keep seeming to bring to his face. Rafe thinks it might be a little too giddy to be coming from your boyfriend’s dad.”For what it’s worth, this is really good, thank you. I appreciate you cooking.”

“Yeah, no problem, just paying my dues.” It’s your turn to pretend to stretch. The words he said were so simple, but to you, they held so much meaning. To be appreciated for something you do, isn’t something you get very often. “I’m - um- I’m glad you like it.”

“Yeah it’s really good.” He pokes the veggies on his plate with his fork and gives them a look of disdain that has you hiding a chuckle behind your hand. You’ve noticed he tends to eat around the healthy stuff you serve him. “But I could do without these veggies though.”

“I’ll make a healthy eater out of you, you’ll see.” You give him a playful glare that he returns with a smile he doesn’t bother to hide this time. “It’ll be good for your heart, old man.”

“Wow! I am not that old.” Rafe brings his hand to his chest in mock offense and it sends you both into a fit of laughter.

“Mhm, whatever you say old man. Let me know if you need help getting up the stairs after dinner!” You lean forward on your elbows and laugh and it takes every bit of willpower Rafe has to not linger on the way your tits bounce at your motions.

“You’re funny, I like talking to you.” You hate that the way he says that makes your body heat because you know he doesn’t mean it like that. And you shouldn’t want him to.

You really need to stop relying on Caleb for rides. This is the third time now that he’s forgotten to pick you up from your two AM shifts and you don’t really have many other options. Your coworkers already left you to lock up for the night, your sister isn’t answering her phone and you’ve never been able to rely on your dad for a single thing in your life. You wish you had friends to call. Or money to get your own car. You groan and throw your head back in frustration when your boyfriend’s phone goes to voicemail for the fifth time. You could call an uber but you’re really trying to save money to get out of Rafe’s hair sooner rather than later. Rafe, he would pick you up. But do you even want to call him? He’s definitely asleep, since he gets up at the crack of dawn everyday for work and do you really want to open that door?

The two of you have been getting along really well the last few weeks, settling into coexisting with one another. You honestly spend more time with him than you do your boyfriend at this point but he’s already done so much for you and you aren’t sure if you want to push it. You could sleep here, on the couch in the office and hopefully Caleb will get back to you by morning. But you really want to take a shower. And if you uber it’s really just setting you back on saving so in the long run it’s going to put Rafe out even more anyway. Fuck it. You click on his contact and it only rings twice before he answers.

“Hello?” Rafe’s sleepy voice says your name and you can’t help but wonder if that’s how he’d sound moaning in your ear while he pounds his - you’ve gotta stop. “Everything okay?”

“Hi, Rafe.” You take in a shaky breath, god you hate asking people for help. “Um, everything is okay, it’s just - is Caleb home?”

“Is he not with you? I thought he was picking you up tonight.” You hear rustling, like he’s getting up out of bed. “He’s not here. He hasn’t been home since this morning unless he came home when I was at work. Are you okay?”

“No, uh - he’s not with me.” You clear your throat and let out a dry, half hearted, chuckle. “He was supposed to pick me up, he must’ve just gotten caught up, maybe his phone died or something. I can’t get ahold of him could you -”

“I’m coming to get you. Stay inside, keep the doors locked.” You hear his belt clanking as he hurriedly gets dressed on the other side of the line. “I’ll be there in ten.”

Seven minutes later you hear Rafe’s pick-up idling outside and your phone is dinging with a text that he’s here. You aren’t sure how it's possible that he got here so fast, considering his house is in a nice suburb outside figure eight and the bar you work at is on the cut, but you don’t question it. You lock up the bar, walk over to the curb, and hop in Rafe’s truck.

“Hey, I’m so sorry. I didn’t have anyone else to call and -” Rafe chuckles but it’s not one of those charming ones you’ve come to know, he seems irritated and now you really wish you would’ve just slept in the bar.

“Don’t, be sorry.” Rafe shakes his head as he puts the truck into gear and pulls off toward his house. “I’m sorry that my son left you hanging like that.”

“Oh, it’s okay.” You wave your hand and try to brush it off with a smile, maybe ease some of the tension. But Rafe’s hands just tighten on the steering wheel causing his knuckles to whiten and he breathes out hard through his nose. Maybe you really fucked up by calling him.

“No. It’s not. It’s unacceptable.” Rafe grits out. He’s trying to not be unreasonably angry but the way he’s watched his son basically neglect you has been grinding his gears more and more everyday. And now he forgets you at one of the sketchiest bars in town in the middle of the night? You were alone, it seems like your coworkers already left. Anyone could have decided to try and break in, what would you have done if he didn’t come?

He hates that it makes him feel animosity toward Caleb, that jealous feeling that’s tinged with possession growing more and more the longer he’s around you. He would never forget you. If it was up to him you wouldn’t work in that bar at all and he’d take care of all your needs and desires. Rafe is old school, he wants a pretty woman to come home to, to cook for him and let him eat her pussy every night before bed. Someone who will keep him in check and make him laugh when it counts. The way the two of you have been living together kind of feels like that, excluding the sex parts. Lines are starting to blur for him and maybe he just really needs to get laid. It’s been over a year now.

“If you ever need a ride, call me. I’ll be there.” You don’t argue, there’s no point. This man is as stubborn as you and if you try and disagree you’ll just go back and forth till one of you caves. And you have a feeling it would be you. His voice holds a finality that just has you nodding in agreement before the two of you fall into comfortable silence for the rest of the drive.

Okay, Rafe seriously needs to get laid. He feels like he’s living in a never ending intro to a porno. He isn’t sure if he’s ever been more thankful or if he regrets ever putting that in the ground hot tub out back but he feels like he’s being tortured. It’s mid November so the pool is covered but the hot tub is free game and you’ve definitely been taking advantage of that. He should be glad, it’s the first time it’s getting real use since he built it but the fact that you go in it nearly every day means you’re in a bikini nearly everyday.

You have a few different ones but the one you’re wearing right now while you walk through the kitchen. You have a pink towel that you definitely brought with you from home thrown over your shoulder and the little platform slides you’re wearing are the only other thing on your body. The baby pink straps of the bikini hug your curves perfectly. The little triangles barely cover more than your nipples and he can see that they’re pierced through the thin material. The bottoms are practically a thong, showing off that little angel wing tramp stamp tattooed on your lower back. Hardly something you think that a girl would wear around her boyfriend’s dad, but he’s starting to think you’re doing it on purpose.

Things have been different between the two of you this last week. Caleb went on a ski trip with his friends and didn’t even bother to invite you. It’s not like they’re your friends, anyway. So it’s just been you and Rafe for the last five days. There was a night that the two of you ordered chinese food and you showed him what a “christmas horror movie” is. Which he really enjoyed. He’s not huge on movies but he can’t deny that he loves a good horror movie.

You laughed and joked together. Playfully teased each other over your food orders and ended up just ordering twice as much food. You both sat maybe just a little too close and your arms brushed every once in a while. It was almost like you both got more brave after that, letting glances linger a little longer than necessary. His hand on the small of your back when he passes the kitchen. Flirty banter. And your outfits somehow seem to be getting smaller and smaller by the day.

His cock pulses as he watches you bend over in your little swimsuit to grab a water bottle out of the fridge and he doesn’t advert his gaze fast enough because when you stand up straight and look over your shoulder at him there’s this mischievous little glint in your eyes and a smug smirk painted on your lips. You turn his way and rest your palms on the marble countertop he built himself and it almost makes your tits spill out of what little material is covering them. He’s going to lose it.

“You gonna get in with me yet, old man? Or are you still too boring?” You tilt your head to the side with a bright smile and your voice is so saccharine he feels like he’s gonna get a goddamn toothache. He can’t go in the hot tub with you though, his control is slipping more and more everyday and being that close to you, wet, in that bikini, seems like a recipe for disaster.

“Guess I’m still too boring, little girl.” Your little ongoing inside joke of teasing each other about your ages makes him chuckle because he’s not really old, he’s only forty two. And you’re certainly not a little girl, you’re a sexy young woman. Too sexy. And too sweet and thoughtful. And you’re fucking funny and quirky. And he hates how bad he wants you.

It’s getting harder to chalk it up to lust the more time he spends alone with you. But he still has hope that he’s just lonely and horny because he can’t like you, you’re his son’s girlfriend for god's sake. Even if Caleb doesn’t treat you like you’re even his girlfriend at all. He’s barely seen him the entire time you’ve lived here. He’ll hit up one of his old booty calls tomorrow, it’s saturday and every woman on this island is just dying for a chance with Rafe Cameron. The only problem is he doesn’t like any of them. He doesn’t have to like them as people to get this pent up energy out though.

“Suit yourself, have fun being old and boring.” You shrug and send him a wink. You let your eyes travel from his face down his body before turning on your heel toward the door. He holds in a groan at the sight of your hips swinging, your ass jiggling in that tiny material. He was already half hard but that sent him over the edge. He needs to take a cold fucking shower.

Rafe runs his hands through his hair, letting the cool water cascade down his back. He lets out an exasperated sigh because truly this isn’t doing shit. He’s fucking cold, still hard, and he can’t stop thinking about what would happen if he did go in the hot tub with you. Was it just a friendly invitation because he built it and you think he needs to relax more? You definitely think that, but the look you gave him said there was more to it than that. The look in your eyes always does. Like you’re saying something to him without saying it and he’s pretty sure he looks at you the same way. It can never be more than just teasing, more than walking that line. You’re off limits and he knows that. But that doesn’t stop him from wanting you and what nobody but him knows can’t hurt, right?

Rafe lets his mind wander. He imagines what it would be like if he took you up on your offer. He’d get in with you and sit as far away from you as you could. You’d probably talk because even though Rafe isn’t a big talker, it seems to come easy with you. He thinks about the way the water would make your tits float in that little top and how little tendrils of your hair would fall free from that clip you have in and stick to your skin. He can see that little cheshire smirk you always give him and that mischievous look in your eyes is just straight up naughty now as his mind has you inching closer to him by the second.

You’d press yourself against him, your beautiful tits that he knows are probably so soft pressed up against his arm as you look at him with pouty lips and tell him how bad you want him. He’d grab your hips and pull you into his lap to straddle him and wandering hands would turn into heated kisses while you grind down on his cock. He would finally take that top off and get to see your tits, grab them, suck them.

Rafe grabs his throbbing cock and squeezes the base before pumping it in his hand. He groans in his chest as his head falls and his fantasy continues. In his mind his hand travels between your legs and pushes your bikini bottoms to the side, rubbing your clit a few times before thrusting two fingers knuckle deep in your wet pussy. You’d let out the prettiest moans while he pushes you to the edge with his fingers. And then you’d beg for his cock and he’d fuckig give it to you. The pace of his hand on his cock picks up and his breaths grow shallow as he imagines his hand is you, sliding his dick into your wet heat while you moan his name. You start to ride him and Rafe feels his stomach tighten. The imaginary you’s tits bounce beautifully in his face and it has his cock throbbing in his hand as he spills cum down his wrist.

He pants, the you filled haze he was in starting to fade as he comes down from his high. He turns and washes himself while he tries to shake the regret setting in. He really needs to get you out of his system.

You sigh as you use a damp towel to wipe down the bar, going through the motions of your closing duties. Caleb got home from his ski trip today and you wish you were more excited. You haven’t seen him yet since he got back while you were at work but he’s supposed to pick you up tonight. You told your sister you might need a ride, just in case. You hate that you feel like you can’t rely on him anymore. It wasn’t always like this, he used to be attentive and loving toward you, you used to be best friends. As time went on though, he got comfortable and lazy until it got to this point. You used to get butterflies and count down the seconds until you saw your boyfriend again and right now your stomach just feels like it’s filled with a pit of snakes.

He left you for an entire week, without even so much as an invitation because “he figured you wouldn’t want to go”. He left you the entire week alone in the house with his dad and if you and Rafe didn’t get along so well that would’ve been incredibly awkward. God, Rafe. You hate that the snakes in your stomach start to morph into butterflies at the thought of him. But the instant guilt that washes over you has another round of snakes swallowing the fluttering bugs whole.

These thoughts and feelings you’ve been having toward Rafe have only increased more and more over the last week. You’ve had fun with him. He’s easy to be around and surprisingly funny. You’ve grown comfortable around him and adjusted easily to living in the same space as him. Maybe a little too comfortable. You made yourself cum to the thought of him twice in a row last night. It was the first time you gave in and let your mind wander there but you haven’t cum as hard as you did in a long time. He’s just so fucking sexy and there for you. You’re just lonely, that’s all. At least that’s what you keep trying to tell yourself.

Despite your lack of faith in him, Caleb did end up picking you up from work and he even stopped at your favorite dinner for late night fries and milkshakes like you used to. You laughed together and you remembered how hot he was. His wavy blonde hair, his soft green eyes and charming, boyish smile. It’s almost like you forgot what he looks like from how little you’ve been around him lately. Everything felt better than it has in a while. Not great, but good. You had hope that maybe you and him could get back to normal up until he had you on your back with your legs spread.

Caleb isn’t bad in bed, he’s not the best ever but he’s always satisfied you. He doesn’t go down on you as much as you’d like and no matter how much you ask he won’t be rough with you but the sex isn’t bad. Tonight though? No matter what you did you couldn’t get out of your head. You usually love the way Caleb shoves his face in your neck and moans in your ear but something about it just felt like he was trying to avoid looking at you and the weight of his body as he thrusted deep into you almost felt suffocating. You were wet, you wanted to cum, but your brain wouldn’t let you. That was until Rafe’s face flashed into your mind and no matter how hard you tried to push him out it was like he barricaded himself there. You imagined it was him on top of you instead and it’s embarrassing how fast you came after that. Caleb wasn’t far behind you, spilling into the condom before pulling out of you and rolling over on his back. That was another thing, you were on birth control and no matter how much you begged him to cum inside you he wouldn’t. He said “it wasn’t worth the risk.” He fell asleep shortly after that and even though it was almost four in the morning you couldn’t shut your mind off. So you get out of bed and wander downstairs to the kitchen for a midnight snack.

You nearly jump out of your skin when you round the kitchen corner to see Rafe sitting at the island. Your hands fly up to cover your chest on instinct because all you’re wearing is a tiny silk nightie. You didn’t expect him to be up. God, did he hear you?

“Rafe! Hi! You scared the shit out of me.” You let out a breathy laugh and try to act normal. Your hands find the hem of your nightgown and tug, willing it to cover more of your ass. But that only pulls it further down your tits and the way Rafe is looking at you right now is making you want to melt into the ground. He’s never looked at you so hungrily but he also looks kind of pissed off. “I didn’t expect you to be up, sorry!”

“Huh, well, I couldn’t sleep.” Any hope that he didn’t hear you diminishes in that moment. “If you’re going to get railed under my roof at three in the morning the least you can do is try and be quiet.”

“I-” Your entire body warms and your words get caught in your throat. He really just went right out with it, didn’t he? He couldn’t just pretend it didn’t happen like a normal person? “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah? Me too.” Rafe chuckles almost condescendingly. “I have to be up for work in an hour and I’ve spent the last forty five minutes listening to your fake moans until you finally came.”

“Mr. Cameron.” You gasp at the brashness of his words. Why does he sound like a jealous boyfriend and not someone who’s angry at a loss of sleep? “I don’t think that’s really appropriate… I’m sorry if we woke you up but-”

“No.” Rafe’s tone makes your body tingle with anxiety and something else you try not to dwell on as you watch him push himself up from his seat and round the kitchen island in a few strides. He stops only inches in front of you, his large frame looming over you. It’s only now you realize he’s in nothing but a pair of black, low to the hips sweatpants and it’s blindingly apparent that he isn’t wearing any underwear. “You know what’s inappropriate? Moaning so loud your boyfriend’s dad can hear you from down the hall… Or is that what you wanted?”

He drops his voice to a low whisper at the last part and you’re completely stunned by his words. Especially because he’s not wrong. A small part of you hoped he’d hear you. You didn’t expect this reaction though. Your words are caught in your throat for a minute too long and you know the way you’re looking up at him with your thighs clenched and your eyes blown wide gives you away. And when he smirks down at you, you know you’re caught.

“It is, isn’t it?” Rafe leans down further into your personal space, his plush lips just barely grazing the shell of your ear. “Naughty girl.”

Your heart feels like it’s going to beat out of your chest and you’re at a complete loss for words. You’re starting to think you fell asleep and you’re dreaming. Rafe pulls back, his eyes feel like they’re setting your skin on fire as he looks down at you like he wants to bend you over this counter right now. But, he doesn’t. His large hand grazes your shoulder as he reaches out to push your hair back and after giving you a final once over from head to toe he takes a few backwards steps before turning on his heel and going up the stairs. What the fuck just happened?

ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ

You can’t believe Rafe is here and with Hollis Robinson, of all people. Her being here isn’t irregular, she comes in here every week to hang all over the different blue collar men. You guess she’s just trying to go for something the opposite of her last husband, midlife crisis and all that. But why does she have to be here with him. There’s no way he didn’t agree to come here just to piss you off. At first you weren’t sure if he just had a naturally flirty nature and maybe you were just thinking too much into it because like you’ve been beating into your own head you’re just lonely. But after last night in the kitchen? And now this? You’re starting to think there’s more to it.

Especially since you want to walk over there and claw Hollis’ eyes out of her skull for how she’s looking at him. And the way he keeps looking over at you over her shoulder with a smug fucking grin painted on his face says a lot. This is payback for last night and if he wants to play that game? You’ll bite. You pull your tiny black tank top even further down, revealing the top of your red bra and you pull up your low rise jeans up slightly more on your hips so they hug your ass. You make sure your tattoo is still on display though, you’ve noticed him looking at it.

“Can I get you guys a refill?” You lean down and rest your palms on the table with a wide smile on your face and you can’t help but press your elbows together to show off your tits even more. The charming smile Rafe was throwing Hollis’ way falls the minute he lays eyes on you. He came here in hopes of riling you up and gauging your reaction to see if this was all in his head but now he’s the one feeling like clawing someone’s eyes out.

He’s picked you up a few times but he’s never come inside the bar and he can’t believe that this is where you work. It’s not particularly dirty but it’s definitely a dive bar, the kind of place guys like him and bikers on the road stop for a beer. If he was the kind of guy that went to bars, that is. But what’s really getting to him is how every set of male eyes in the building follow you wherever you go. They’re like bees to honey to the way you walk around with that sweet smile, swinging your hips. He wants to wrap his coat around you and haul you out over his shoulder so no other man can see you. But you aren’t his, so he needs to play it cool.

“Sure, honey. Another martini, dry.” Hollis barely spares you a glance and wave of her fingers before going back to drooling over Rafe.

She’s sitting in the chair next to him but she has it pulled so close she might as well be in his fucking lap. Her heel clad foot swings back and forth, hitting his calf every few passes and you want to break it off. She rests her chin on her folded hands as she gazes over at him with the biggest fuck me eyes you think you’ve ever seen.

“And a Coors Light for you, right? In the can.” You let your eyes flash from Rafe’s to his lips for just a split moment before locking eyes with him again. You wet your bottom lip with your tongue and then pull it between your teeth and Rafe has to literally stop himself from groaning at the sight. Hollis hasn’t solicited a single reaction out of his body the entire night, but every time he looks at you his cock gets just a little bit harder. His plan is completely backfiring on him.

“Yeah, thanks, angel.” The nickname catches you both off guard. It makes his eyes blow wide as he takes in a deep breath through his nose. He’s been holding that back for some time now but it’s true, you are an angel. Your bright eyes, the way you care for him and that little tattoo. A naughty little angel with horns, that is. And even though your insides are melting, you paint on a smug smirk, not backing down from this fight.

“You got it, babe.” You throw him a wink, just catching the way his eyes widen slightly before flicking your hair over your shoulder and turning on your heel toward the bar. You make sure to swing your hips extra because you can feel Rafe’s eyes on you. You love knowing you’re getting to him, maybe not as much as he does to you. But you’re getting a reaction and that fills you with pride you shouldn’t feel.

You make Hollis’ martini without hardly even looking, most drinks have become second nature to you after working here for three years. You peak over at Rafe after grabbing his beer and you immediately see red. Hollis has her leg thrown over his lap while she presses her tits against his big arm that you want to latch onto with your teeth and never let go. Rafe looks half interested in what she’s saying, at least. Especially when he looks over at you and fucking smirks. Yeah, you’re gonna ruin his fucking night. What if he plans on bringing her home? You don’t think you can stand to hear him fucking her from down the hall. Even the thought makes you want to puke and you wonder if that’s how he felt the other night.

That might be wishful thinking though. You paint on your sweetest smile and walk back over to their table, placing their drinks on the table. You make sure to lean over Rafe close enough that your tits graze his other arm. A silent display of possession that nobody but Rafe notices.

“Here’s your drinks, enjoy!” You turn like you’re going to walk away before quickly turning back around. “Actually, I meant to ask, how long will you be here? I kind of need a ride home.”

“He’s busy, I’m sure you can find someone else to take you ho-” Hollis tries to shoo you away but Rafe cuts her off, pushing his chair back enough that her leg falls from his lap.

“When are you off?” Hollis scoffs and detaches herself from him, sitting back in her seat. Thank god. You can’t help the small smirk you send her way.

“In an hour, I’m not closing tonight.” Your eyes lock with Rafe’s crystal blue ones and you can tell he knows what you’re doing. Yet you don’t care. And he’s still letting you do it, so. “If you don’t mind hanging around until then.”

“Actually, I was thinking about heading out soon.” Hollis shoots you a look before resting her red manicured hand on Rafe’s bicep as she looks over at him almost desperately. Pathetic. “You wanna come to my place? Have a glass of wine, get cozy?”

“I would, but I think it’s best I make sure she gets home safe.” Rafe barely spares her a glance while he shuts her down and she visibly deflates. You would feel bad if you didn’t want to rip each one of her thickly mascara lined eyelashes out of her head.

“Aww, really?” Hollis pouts as she tips her head to the side to try and get Rafe to look at her but he doesn’t. His eyes stay on you. “I think we will have a good time, I’m sure she can find another ride, can’t you?” She looks at you like you’re going to be her wingman and take one for the team or something. Too bad you don’t feel like sharing. Even if he isn’t yours and probably never will be. He’s not going to rub it in your face at your place of work.

“Actually, my ride fell through.” You cross your arms to push your tits up and set your lips into a pout. Rafe feels like he’s going to fucking lose it any second. You never ask him for help, so he knows you're jealous and it’s making his cock uncomfortably hard. “I can probably swing an uber if you’re busy though.”

“No. I’m taking you home with me.” With him. You like the sound of that. “Go do your stuff. I’ll wait.”

“I know what you were doing in there, I’ve been around the block a few times, little girl.” Rafe grits at you as pulls out of the bar parking lot. He waited for you to get off. Hollis left before he did, not without asking him to go home with her again, of course.

“And I know what you were doing in there, old man. Just because I’m younger than you doesn’t mean I’m oblivious.” You roll your eyes and put your doc’s up on his dash. It makes him groan as he reaches over to knock them back down. “Umm, rude.”

“I’m rude? And ruining my date isn’t?” Rafe scoffs.

“Oh, don’t play dumb. You didn’t want to be on that date and we both fucking know it, Rafe.” You roll your eyes and shake your head and Rafe really wishes he wasn’t driving right now so he could finally spank that attitude out of you. He has half a mind to pull over but he has to keep reminding himself you’re not his. “You would have never gone there if I didn’t work there, don’t act like that wasn’t why. Don’t pretend you didn’t want to see my reaction.”

“She asked to go there, you’re just overthinking it.” Rafe shakes his head as he turns onto the main road toward his neighborhood.

“No. If I was overthinking it, you would’ve left with her and not me. Don’t try to make me feel like I’m making shit up in my head, you were blindingly obvious about it.” His big hands tighten on the steering wheel causing the veins to pop out. You want to slobber all over them and feel them inside you. “You were trying to make me jealous and it worked, so what now?”

“Now? Nothing.” Rafe chuckles dryly and you can see his jaw tense. “We go home, you go to bed and I’ll do the same. Nothing can happen and you know that.”

“But you aren’t saying you don’t want it to.” You press the issue, you aren’t letting it go that easily.

“God damn it.” Rafe breathes out through his nose and says your name sternly. “Stop. Just stop. This can’t be a thing. No more of this shit that happened tonight. We go back to coexisting the way we should and if I want to go on dates you’re just going to have to get over that because you are my son’s fucking girlfriend, jesus.”

“Yeah, whatever, tell yourself that all you want.” You lean back in your seat with your arms crossed, turning away from him to look out the window. “You know it’s more than that but go ahead and keep lying to yourself.”

“It’s what I have to do, okay?!” Rafe snaps and slams his hand on the steering wheel before regaining his control. He runs his hand through his hair as he takes a deep breath. He isn’t the guy that loses his temper at the drop of a hat anymore but you’re so god damn frustrating it makes him feel like he’s going insane. “Now please, just let it go.”

“Fine. But I know you feel this thing between us.” You laugh dryly, your throat feeling tight from rejection even if you know you’re right. “But I’ll drop it and let you live in your little land of denial.”

“Thank you.” Rafe sighs and you both fall silent for the remainder of the drive, only the sound of the local rock station playing quietly in the background.

ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ ஓ๑♡๑ஓ

You curse under your breath as you toss your keys down on the table by the door and rip your coat from your body. All the other times Caleb has forgotten to pick you up were just mildly annoying in comparison to this. Considering it’s your fucking birthday. You don’t think he even remembers. He didn’t say anything to you this morning before you left for your day shift and he hasn’t texted you all day. He did say he would pick you when you managed to momentarily wake him up though. You hoped maybe he had a surprise planned for you when you got off but you aren’t even sure why you let the thought cross your mind. It feels like he doesn’t even care about you anymore.

As much as Rafe wants to deny that there’s something between you, he gives you more attention than your own boyfriend. Caleb was out all night, so, was he passed out hungover this morning. But when you went downstairs there were doughnuts and coffee from your favorite bakery sitting on the kitchen counter. There was a pink balloon tied to the coffee and a little note in front of it that read “Happy Birthday, angel. -R.C.”

Rafe was already gone for work when you woke up so you haven’t had a chance to thank him yet. You hate that you’re more excited for him to be home than you are to see Caleb. You know he’s here somewhere because his car is out front, you assume he’s upstairs gaming with his headset on and his phone on silent. Or he’s asleep. You sigh deeply as you walk over to the box of doughnuts still sitting on the counter and pull one from the box. You take a bite before looking out the kitchen window and when you do you nearly choke.

Caleb isn’t gaming, and he’s not asleep. But he is out back in the hot tub with his “friend” Jessica. Ass naked. Fucking her from behind with her top half bent over the ledge. You feel like you’re going to be sick as you watch her mouth fall open in pleasure. Caleb pulls her hair, yanking her head back before you watch him land a smack on her ass as he fucks her roughly from behind. He’s never fucked you like that. It was always so vanilla and lackluster. Watching him fuck her like you’ve asked him to fuck you a thousand times is like a knife to your heart. Tears prickle the rims of your eyes But you don’t want to cry because you’re sad, no, you’re fucking pissed. You slam your hand down on the counter in frustration, crushing the glazed treat you’re still holding against the marble. You take a deep breath, readying yourself, and then you walk out the back door.

“Well, isn’t this just fucking rich.” You chuckle dryly as you walk across the back patio to the hot tub and Caleb and Jessica’s eyes flash toward you, their movements halting. “You know, you’ve gotten me some pretty shit presents over the years, Caleb. But being so balls deep in some other bitch that you forget my birthday entirely really takes the fucking cake.”

“Babe!” Caleb backs away from Jessica with his eyes blown wide, pulling out of her and leaving her to stand there trying to cover herself. “It’s not -”

“It’s not what it looks like, really Caleb?” You scoff and you can’t even help but laugh. “You’re a fucking idiot. There’s no talking your way out of being a cheating fucking whore when I saw it with my own two eyes.”

“Hey! Listen, I’m really sorry I didn’t -” Jessica’s voice is strained and nervous as she pulls herself from the hot tub and reaches for her clothes that are discarded on the ground.

“Shut the fuck up, bitch. You know exactly what you did. Everyone in your little friend group knows me and Caleb are together. Don’t disrespect me by lying to my face.”

You take a few hurried steps towards her and she flinches, making a smirk spread across your lips. Good. She should be scared. She’s lucky Caleb isn’t worth an assault charge. You send your pathetic excuse for a boyfriend a glare. “How long?”

“Since the ski trip…” His head hangs low between his shoulders and you can’t believe he has the audacity to be pouting right now. But he’s always been selfish.

“Oh? So this has been going on for weeks? And I bet all your little friends knew, huh?” Caleb opens his mouth to answer but you cut him off. “Were you all just sitting around laughing, knowing I was oblivious? You disgust me.”

“Babe -”

“I’m not your fucking babe! Shut up! I’m tired of hearing your god damn voice, Caleb!” You shriek and stomp your foot in frustration.

“Whoa, what the hell is going on out here?” The sound of Rafe’s voice sends an icy hot chill all through your body. God, how much of that did he see?

“Dad, don’t worry about it. Just go inside, this is none of your business.” Rafe loves his son with all his heart and even if Caleb doesn’t realize it, everything he’s done in his life has been for him. But right now? He has never been more disappointed in his entire life.

Rafe didn’t see everything but he got home around the time you were calling Caleb a cheating whore. That combined with the fact that there was a random girl scrambling to put her clothes on while his son stands naked in the hot tub doesn’t make it hard to tell what is happening.

“There’s yelling going on in my house, I think that’s my business.” Rafe is almost at a loss for words. He feels frozen. He would never abandon Caleb but the fact that he did this to you fills him with rage. The fact that he took you for granted was one thing, but cheating on you? It makes his blood boil. If it were anyone else they’d be getting their ass beat right now.

“I think I’m just going to go.” All three of their heads whip towards you at your words. Rafe looks distressed, Jessica looks guilty as hell and Caleb has a mixture of both painted on his face.

“No, you stay. I’ll feel like shit knowing you’re sleeping on your sister's couch when you’ve been pulling my weight around here anyways.” Caleb pulls himself out of the hot tub and pulls his swim trunks on before walking toward you. It makes you take a step back.

“You can stay with me, if you need.” Jessica squeaks out and it makes you belly laugh. You really are such a fucking joke.

“You don’t have to leave, either of you. We can work something out.” Rafe looks over at his son, so fucking disappointed in him but he doesn’t love him any less and he doesn’t want him to leave. But he really doesn’t want you to leave either, he’s really come to love you. Well, he loves having you around. He doesn’t love you, he can’t. But god the longer he’s around you he wants to love you so badly. Especially right now, he can see you shaking from here. He can see the angry tears threatening to fall from your eyes and he hates it. He wants to grab you, pull you into his chest, and protect you from the world.

“I won’t force her to be around me after this, dad.” Caleb sighs as he pinches his nose before locking eyes with you. “Just stay here, okay? I want you to stay where you have space. You seem happier here. I’m going to go get some stuff to get me through a couple days and I’ll come back for the rest later on. Come on Jessica, we’re leaving.”

“Listen, I’m really sorry I never meant for you to find out like this.” Jessica sends you an apologetic look.

“Ha! I don’t give a fuck about your apology, bitch. Get out of my sight before I beat your ass.” You take a threatening step toward her and she hurriedly runs toward the back door with Caleb in tow. He sends you another sad glance before walking inside, leaving you alone with Rafe.

“God, what the fuck just happened!?” You let out an aggressive deep breath as you flop down on one of the patio chairs. You groan and throw your head back, pressing the heels of your hands into your eyes.

“Are you okay?” The sound of Rafe’s voice inches from you makes you jump as your eyes shoot toward him. He’s crouching in front of the chair with a concerned look on his face and god, you want to jump into his lap and have him hold you so badly. Even when Caleb literally cheats on you, you can’t get these thoughts of Rafe out of your head. If anything they’re just increasing by the second.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine. You should go check on Caleb, tell him he doesn’t have to go.” You clear your throat to stop the tears threatening to spill down your cheeks. “Once I calm down a bit I’ll go get my shit together and get out of your hair.”

“No.” Rafe’s voice is stern but not angry and your entire body heats when he rests his big hands on your knees so you’ll look at him. “I don’t want you to leave. I love my son so damn much but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed in him right now. I’ll never force him to leave but if he wants to go, I think maybe it’s for the best right now.”

“Yeah, but even if he leaves there’s no reason for me to be here if he and I aren’t together, Rafe.” You sniffle, wiping your nose and under your eyes with your hoodie sleeve. You refuse to let him see you cry.

“There is a reason, doll.” Rafe squeezes your knees slightly in a comforting manner as he looks up at you so sincerely you could almost melt. “I want you here. I like having you here. Not just because you help out around the house or because you make delicious food. I like you, I like your presence and being around you. I don’t like to talk much, I can’t stand small talk, but it comes easy with you.”

“That doesn’t make sense, Rafe. You have no obligation to me, I can’t just freeload off of you.” You sigh and Rafe can’t help it, he glances toward the house to see if Caleb is looking but the blinds are closed so he leans up on his knees and takes your face in his hands.

“I know I’m not fuckin’ obligated but I want to help you. I want you here, please?” Rafe’s voice breaks at the end and he hates that he sounds so desperate. But that desperation tells you all you need to know. He’s saying it without saying it. Rafe wants you. And now that Caleb gave you the ultimate fuck you, what’s really holding you back from having him aside from your own moral compass? He’s still Caleb’s dad. On the other hand though? Fuck Caleb and his feelings.

“Okay. I’ll stay.” Your voice is small and you swallow deeply as Rafe continues to hold your face in his big, calloused hands.

“That’s my girl.” Rafe grins at you and places a kiss on your forehead and for a second you forget who Caleb even is. He’s never touched you this much and now you never want him to stop. You want to feel his lips and hands on every inch of your body. “Sit tight, okay? I’m gonna go make sure Caleb is okay and see if he needs any help.”

You sigh and look up at the sky. The sun is setting, kissing the tops of the trees as the cold midwinter wind whips through your hair. You’d probably be freezing in your little work outfit if you weren’t so filled with adrenaline. Are you really gonna stay here with Caleb’s dad? Especially when you know how badly you want him? You know the answer is yes, against your better judgement. You’ve tried to push your feelings down, tell yourself they were based on loneliness and circumstance. But the fact that you just watched Caleb cheat on you and you were more sad about the fact that you’ll have to move away from Rafe is very telling.

You want Rafe. You want his kind gestures. You want the banter you have when you order take ou and watch cheesy horror movies on nights you were left alone. You want the way his lips look extra plush and the way his mullet looks all messy when he first wakes up. You want the possessiveness and the protectiveness. You want to jump his bones when he gets home in his work clothes all covered in mud. You want to eat dinner and shower together and fuck before bed. You want him to fuck you on every inch of this house actually. You want him so bad you can’t even deny it anymore. You want him so bad it almost hurts.

You let yourself sit with that information until you hear the front door shut and Caleb’s car pull out of the driveway. You’re finally starting to get cold so you take a deep breath and push yourself up from the chair to face the music.

As you approach the back door you realize the lights in the kitchen are off, which is odd for this time of day. Did Rafe go to bed to avoid having to interact with you? You wouldn’t blame him, part of you wants the same. You just want to sink in bed and sleep for a week. But when you open the door your hand flies to your mouth with a gasp.

The room is illuminated by candles that are lit on top of the prettiest cake. It’s shaped like a heart with pink and white frosting and your name is in the middle of it, written in pretty, frosted cursive. If that wasn’t enough there’s a little box with a bow sitting next to it and the greatest present of all is the man standing behind them. Rafe still has his navy work shirt with the logo for his company on and he has this lopsided, boyish smile painted on his face that makes your stomach erupt with butterflies. This man is a dream.

“Rafe, I- you did this for me?” Your words nearly get caught in your throat and tears prickle your eyes for an entirely different reason than they have all night. “No one has ever… No one’s ever done anything this nice for me before.”

“I know. That’s why I did it.” Rafe smiles at you sweetly as he scratches the side of his neck before running his hands through his hair. “Don’t go getting all teary eyed on me before you even open your gift, angel.”

“You didn’t have to get me anything…” Your voice is barely a whisper and you hardly trust it as you approach the counter and pick up the little box. At first glance you’d think it was jewelry but when you pull off the bow and open it up there’s a keyfob inside. “What is? Rafe, you did not buy me a car!”

“No, yeah, I did.” Rafe chuckles and comes around the other side of the counter to stand no more than a foot away from you. “You deserve it.”

“Rafe, I can’t accept this. You have to take it back.” You push the box toward him but he just stops your hand, pushing it back toward your chest.

“Well, I’m not taking it back. So if you don’t drive it, it’s just going to sit in the garage collecting dust.” He splays his hand across your chest, holding the key and your hand in his larger one as he looks down at you almost lovingly. It fills your heart with hope you’ve been refusing to let in. Rafe tucks your hair behind your ear and presses a kiss to your temple. “Let me do this for you.”

You can’t help it, you throw yourself into his arms with a squeal and he catches you easily with an arm around your waist. You’re tired of denying yourself his touch, it is your birthday, after all. Rafe chuckles and squeezes you to his chest before setting you on your feet in front of the cake.

“Make a wish, birthday girl.” He wraps his arms around your waist and tucks his chin against your shoulder like it’s the most natural thing in the world and you know exactly what you’re going to wish for. More of this. More of him. For as long as he will have you. You lean forward and blow out the candles before letting your body rest against Rafe’s with your head tilted back so you can look up at him. “What did you wish for?”

“Can’t tell you, it won’t come true.” You giggle and spin around in his arms and he takes your face in his hands. Rafe thinks you’re the most beautiful girl in the world and he can’t pretend he doesn’t anymore. He needs you. He wants to kiss you so bad and you surprise the hell out of him by throwing your arms around his shoulders and smashing your lips against his own.

The kiss starts off tender, almost nervous. But it quickly turns heated when his big hands grip onto your waist and pull you flush against him. He groans against your mouth and you use it as an opportunity to slip your tongue into his mouth and tangle it with his. You stand there making out, your hands wandering any part of each other they can reach. Rafe’s hands slip lower and slide just under the bottom hem of your skirt, grazing your ass. You

bite down on his bottom lip and Rafe pulls back to look down at you.

“Fuck, we really shouldn’t…” Rafe breathes out through his nose and bites his lip, his actions contradicting his words because his hands travel higher up your skirt and grip onto your ass possessively.

“Do you care?” You raise an eyebrow at him as you grind your stomach against his rock hard cock and scratch the back of his neck with your pointed nails.

“Fuck, not anymore.” Rafe loops his arms around your thighs and you jump up so he can carry you to the couch. He tosses you over the arm and gets on the couch behind you with his legs bracketing yours. He leans over your body so his lips are brushing the shell of your ear. “The first time I fuck you is gonna be in my bed but I’ve been waiting so long to spank that bratty ass and eat that sweet little pussy I need to do it right fucking here.”

Rafe leans back and pushes your little Jean mini skirt up over your ass to reveal the tiniest little pink thong he’s ever seen. He lands a harsh smack on your ass and it causes you to yelp and jolt forward. He gives the other the cheek the same treatment before bringing his hands down on both at once.

“So fucking perfect. Knew you would be, baby.” Rafe runs his fingers over your slit through the lace of your panties, feeling your sticky wetness. “And so fucking wet.”

He gathers some on his fingers before pulling away and marveling at the way it glistens in the low light. He hooks his arm around your neck and holds his fingers to your lips. “Suck.”

You take them into your mouth and swirl your tongue around them, tasting yourself mixed with Rafe’s salty sweat. It shouldn’t taste as good as it does but it makes you hum around his fingers as your eyes roll back.

“Been thinkin’ bout this all day, everyday, since you moved into this house, angel. You’ve been thinking about it too, haven’t you?” Rafe shoves his fingers down your throat causing you to gag as drool pools into your mouth before he pulls them out and spanks your ass with his wet hand, causing it to sting extra.

“Yes, daddy. Everyday. Want you so bad.” You arch your back and wiggle your ass and Rafe feels like he’s going to bust in his pants like a thirteen year old boy.

“Oh, baby, I don’t think you know what you just did.” Rafe chuckles as he grabs onto your thong and pulls it down to your knees, locking them in place. “You want me to be your daddy? Alright. But that means I get to beat this little ass red for the way you’ve been teasing me.”

“Yeah?” You glance over your shoulder at him with that mischievous look you always flash him in your eyes and a naughty little smirk painted on your lips. “Do you fucking worst, daddy.”

Rafe gives you that lopsided grin that makes your stomach do flips before spanking your ass hard. The skin immediately turns red and you don’t have time to process before he spanks you in the same exact spot even harder. He gives the other cheek the same treatment and then rotates back.

“That’s my good little girl.” Rafe rubs your reddened ass and then spanks you again and again. “Not such a brat now, huh? Just needed that attitude beat out of you?”

“I don’t know, I think you might have to fuck it out of me.” You giggle and wiggle your sore ass which only earns you another round of spankings, leaving you a moaning mess. He leans down and bites down hard on your asscheek as two fingers slide through your dripping folds.

“Don’t worry, doll. I’m gonna give you the best dick of your fucking life. But first, I’ve gotta taste this god damn pussy.” Rafe admires the growing bruises and the bite mark on your plump ass before grabbing your cheeks and spreading you open so he can run his tongue along your slit to your pulsing clit.

He swirls his tongue around it a few times before sliding it back down and thrusting it into your hole. Rafe flicks his tongue inside you and hooks his arm around your thigh so you can’t wiggle away.

“Oh, fuck! God, yes, daddy.” You whine and grind back into his face and when his thumb finds your clit you’re embarrassingly close. Your body subconsciously tries to run away from the mind blowing pleasure but Rafe only brings his free hand to the small of your back and uses it to pin your upper half down.

“Quit wiggling and let me devour this pussy, brat. Be a good girl and stay still for daddy, yeah?” Rafe mumbles against your pussy, the vibrations sending your eyes to the back of your skull. “Need you to cum for me, baby.”

Rafe unhooks his arm from your leg so he can thrust two fingers knuckle deep in your pussy while his lips latch onto your clit. He curls his fingers against your sweet spot and rolls his lips around your aching bud and that’s all it takes to have you seeing stars. Pleasure wracks your entire body as you shake beneath him. He sucks and fingers you through your orgasm until you’re over sensitive and your top half is limp with your arms dangling off the arm of the couch.

Rafe leans back to admire you and his cock feels like it’s going to burst. Your hair is cascading over your face as you lay limp across the couch with your ass arched in the air. Your crop top is pushed up showing off the curve of your back. Your butt is red and covered in his hand prints and the bite mark is already starting to bruise. Your little skirt is framing your hips perfectly and your pussy is all puffy and dripping creamy, white.

“I know I said I’d take you to the bed, baby girl, but this pussy just looks so god damn irresistible I’ve gotta have her right now.” You hear the metal of his belt clanking and the sound of his zipper before you feel the fat head of his cock slapping against your ass. He grips his shaft as he runs his tip through your dripping folds and then he uses your wetness to lube his cock. Rafe pumps himself a few times before lining up with your entrance and pushing inside you in one, unforgiving thrust. You both moan in unison as he bottoms out, his balls grazing your clit.

“Oh my god, I’m so full.” You whine as your walls clench around him and Rafe pulls his hips back until only his tip remains before slamming his cock back into you and starting up at a brutal pace. He grips onto your hips and fucks you like a man possessed. He’s entranced by the sight of your ass bouncing back against him while your creamy pussy coats his cock as it swallows him whole over and over again.

“You’re so fuckin’ tight, baby. This pussy is so perfect, fuck, even better than I ever could’ve imagined.” One of Rafe’s hands grips onto your throat and pulls you up so your back is flush against his front and the new angle pushes him even deeper inside you, making your pussy flutter around his cock. He grabs your hand with his free one and presses it against our belly where you can feel his cock bulging from inside you. “Feel that? You’re so fuckin’ full of me.”

“Yes, daddy, you’re so fucking big.” You gasp when he slams his hips up into yours so hard the sound echos off the walls and then he pulls almost all the way out and does it again and again, fucking you rough and deep. Rafe squeezes your neck as he pushes up your crop top so he can grope your tits and pinch your pierced nipples.

“Oh, Angel, I’ve just been dying to see these. The way you prance around in those little bikinis has been driving me insane. Let daddy see those pretty tits.” He pulls out of you and you whine at the loss. He grips onto your hips and flips you over so you’re straddling him.

Rafe leans back on the couch and runs his hands down your body before tracing up your stomach so he can graze his fingertips over your pert nipples. He circles the little bars that have hearts in the middle with a groan.

“Oh, fuckin’ look at you. Never seen anything more god damn perfect in my life.” Rafe leans forward to take a nipple in his mouth and it makes you cry out.

“In all your years, right, old man?” You giggle when he pulls back with a glare and grips onto your hip so he can lift you onto his cock, the feeling of him filling you again makes you nearly go cross eyed. “You getting tired yet?”

“I thought I fucked that little attitude out of you, huh?” Rafe plants his feet flat on the ground so he can thrust up into you while using his grip on your ass to bounce you on his cock. The sight of your tits in his face has him twitching inside you.

“I think it’s gonna take more than once, actually?” You smirk up at him and Rafe is fucking gone. He’s obsessed with you. “Can your old man knees keep up?”

“Baby, it’s so cute that you think I can’t keep up with you.” Rafe flips you onto your back and grips onto the back of your thighs as he kneels on the couch in front of you so he can pound into you harder and deeper than ever. “Rub your pussy for me.”

“Fuck, daddy, I’m so close.” You moan loudly as you bring your finger to your slick clit and rub circles on it. Rafe grips onto your throat and pins you to the couch cushion as he continues to plow into you. “Want you to fill me up, please?”

“Yeah? I’ll give you my cum as soon as you give me one more. Cum for daddy, sugar.” Rafe squeezes your throat as his dick hits your g-spot and your fingers rub your clit just right and it has euphoria washing over your body. Your pussy is like a vice grip around him and the pretty little moans you’re letting out as you come undone for him has Rafe spilling inside you. He doesn’t know if he’s ever cum this much in his life as his cock continues to pulse inside you and fill you with ropes of his cum. You lay pliant beneath him as you look up at him like he hung the stars and it fills him with pride, “Yeah, that’s my good little girl.”

“I’m fucking obsessed with you.” You breathe out and saying it outloud feels like the biggest weight off your shoulders. “I’ve wanted you so fucking badly, Rafe.”

“God, baby.” Rafe grabs your face in his hands and runs his thumbs along the apples of your cheeks. “I’m so god damn I’m obsessed with you too. Now that I’ve had you, I never wanna let you go. I’m addicted.”

“Yeah? Well you never have to. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have an attitude and tease you about your old man knees until the end of time.” You giggle when he throws you a playful glare and it makes a wide smile break out onto his face. “But who knows? Maybe I can be tamed one day, looks like you’ll just have to keep fucking me to find out…”

“I think I can manage that, angel, starting now.” Rafe leans down and kisses you sweetly before gripping onto your hips and standing up to throw you over his shoulder. “I’m gonna fuck you on every inch of this house, starting with my bed.”

In that moment you think to yourself that maybe sometimes birthday wishes really do come true. You both know shit is complicated, but right now you don’t care. You finally have him, and you’ll figure it out together.

Hallmark/Romcom Recs

This week, we have seven recs for fics that are fluffy, cozy, and maybe even a little Christmassy. Check them out beneath the cut, and as always - comment and kudos if you like them!

LOVE & OTHER ENCHANTMENTS by LivThael (2092, General) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

The trailer for the hottest romcom in Wildemount: a breathtaking tale of books, ambition, and totally unexpected out-of-left-field love.

Reccer says: If you only ever read one modern romcom AU, let this one be it. It's a loving parody of its genre and had me in stitches from start to finish!

(If One Could Be Home) They'd Be Already There by DotyTakeThisDown (25820, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

When Caleb stays in the on-campus apartments, he expects to be alone for winter break. He doesn't expect to run into Essek Thelyss in the laundry room.

Reccer says: A great college AU and one that takes place during the winter holidays. Sweet and fun, and one that I come back to

it's never too late by idontreallylikebutterflies (6767, Explicit) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek and Caleb had a secret relationship in high school. Then Essek moved away, only coming home for the holidays, where he'd hook up with Caleb again.

Reccer says: It's like a smidge less fluffy than a hallmark movie, but it's holiday related and also still very much a romcom premise. Sweet and a little angsty, with a lot of pining idiots

All the Way Home by Dragonslaeyr (18418, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Essek Thelyss is ready to work through Christmas, but one wayward passenger might just be enough to change his mind.

Reccer says: A classic - great banter, great atmosphere, and a cute Holiday Shadowgast AU. Also, Essek as an uber driver - amazing

no place to go (let it snow!) by Dragonslaeyr (20586, Teen) Reccer's Content Notes: None

Caleb gets stuck at the airport during the holidays. He meets Essek, and they spend the night exploring the airport and getting to know each other

Reccer says: I liked it!

And then two recs for the next one: a winter's crest detour by jaskofalltrades (22873, Mature) Reccer's Content Notes: No Content Notes

Caleb and Essek meet on a plane during Winters Crest holiday and end up getting to know one another.

Reccer 1 says: This is one of my favorite feel good fics to read! I love the interactions and chemistry between the two. In the end love wins! Reccer 2 says: I liked it!

Class is almost drawing to its midpoint anyway, which means his students will soon clear out to get lunch and he will have some quiet time. He brought the latest romance novel Essek has finished and passed along with him today. Perhaps he’ll dig into that while he’s alone. Plans set, he reaches for his bag to draw the book and his lunch free. He finds the book but of food he comes up sorely empty-handed. Caleb forgets to make himself a lunch for a day of teaching at Soltryce. Luckily, he has a husband to notice such mistakes and help correct them.

The fics continue! Tonight I bring you some classic fluffy, sappy, uber in love Shadowgast :3 basically I reread the last chapter of of blossoming hearts and glittering souls and missed my fluffy boys and then wrote 3k about it. I hope you enjoy!

Round 3 Poll 8

Chosen: After killing Caleb, Buffy conceives a plan to defeat the First once and for all. Willow invokes a magic spell that alters the ancient Slayer spell and gives Buffy the allies she needs to fight the Uber-Vamp army. An epic battle ensues and several good friends are lost. At the end, Buffy faces a completely new problem -- one she's glad to have.

Helpless: As her birthday approaches, Buffy loses her Slayer powers and must do battle with a vampire who is not only extremely powerful but also quite mad.

[abalonemacaroni]

As much as I have been waiting so eagerly for BH to tell their allies (Caleb and Beau) everything they learned about Ludinus corrupting the magical reservoir under Molaesmyr by using it to power his Predathos-Solstice-Communication ritual so Caduceus can reasonably find out that the corruption is Ruidian…

I am now uber-focused on the cast telling the Volition that Ludinus caused the Crush and destroyed their prior civilizations with that same ritual. The timeline all lines up and it’s such a good reason for every person on Ruidus to hate that old man!

Review: “The Owl House Series Finale: “Watching and Dreaming (Somewhat Spoiler Free)”- Plus an analysis of the show, in general.

First off, I am so sorry that this is late, but you all know how life tends to get in the way of things- plus brainstorming can be a b**** and a half!

Anyway, let’s get to the review, shall we? 

Here we go!

Since debuting on January 10, 2020, The Owl House has slowly- but surely-, gained a large fanbase of watchers and supporters, who have enjoyed the exploits of Luz Noceda, Amity Blight, Eda Clawthorne and many more characters.

I enjoyed the finale “Watching and Dreaming” and without giving away too many spoilers, I will be giving my review on it.

Luz and the others handled dealing with the Collector, perfectly well, by appealing to his Humanity- especially after hearing his story, of how he was trapped down in the Boiling Isles.

We will never get a full story of his relationship with his siblings: “The Archivists”, but at odds are, it wasn’t the best, if they were willing to let him take the fall, for what happened to the Titan younglings.

I enjoyed how Phillip/Belos received an unceremonious death, by being reduced to a decomposing ooze humanoid and getting stomped to death, by Eda, King and Raine- all 3 of them really deserved to do that!

Phillip had built himself up so high, for centuries and in the end, he was brought down by a 14-year old girl and stomped to death, like the miserable little insect, he was!

May he burn in Hell, where he belongs!

Shame we didn’t get to see what ultimately happened to Odalia, in terms of punishment, though.

Nor did we ever see Willow and Boscha settle things once and for all or even get a backstory with Caleb and Evelyn- the Witch he fell in love with.

Was she an ancestor of the Clawthorne family? We will never know, now. :(

Nevertheless, the fight scenes and even the scene where Luz meets the Titan were great.

I also enjoyed the “Years Later” scene, where everyone is now aged up and living their best lives, as well- including Luz!

All in all, this was still a satisfying end to a great series.

I say “satisfying”, because the next series I’m about to discuss and compare The Owl House to, had a similar plot, but a very disappointing end.

The show I’m talking about: 

Yeah...this show...

Just like The Owl House; Star vs. The Forces of Evil is also about a girl who who leaves her home for another world.

However...not only does The Owl House do somewhat of a reverse version of this concept...but it does it better than SVTFOE!

The Owl House is so much better than Star vs. The Forces of Evil!!!

Allow me to explain why.

1. The Characters:

Let’s start with both the main protagonists: Luz Noceda and Star Butterfly.

Yes, both are kind, caring, quirky, rebellious, adventurous and fun-loving, in their own way, and the two of them have challenged and toppled a corrupt and genocidal regime, throughout the duration of their respective series.

However, Star was way too chaotic and hellbent on doing her own thing, to listen to reason- even during times when it called for her to do so (The episode ”Trickstar”, for example.).

Star was also impatient, destructive, manic, uber-violent and stubborn.

One could argue that all of this stemmed from her upbringing of growing up as a princess, who was always being restricted and always being told by her parents- specifically her mom-, how a “proper young lady” should behave and she was tired of that.

But that is still no excuse! Mostly because sometimes, it is best to do as you’re told and follow the rules- ESPECIALLY if you’re a teenager, who still has a lot to learn about certain things pertaining to his or her life.

Case in point, being in charge of an all-powerful magical wand, that has been passed down in your family, from generation to generation.

Plus, Star was really letting her hormones take the wheel, for the 2nd half of season 2 and most of seasons 3 and 4, and it was just...incredibly messy, to put it in simple terms- more on that part, later.

Luz however, was always more or less willing to learn all that was given to her and more, from both Eda and Hexside.

Even when she successfully managed to get students to study multi-track- and saved the entire school from a Basilisk-, she never got a big head, because of it.

Luz still kept her feet planted firmly on the ground and continued her studies.

This helped her in the long run, when she offered to teach Eda and Lilith everything she had learned, when they both lost most of their magical abilities, in the Season 1 finale.

Now this isn’t to say that she is perfect. Luz has been known to make mistakes, as well- one of them being her unintentionally helping the past version of the show’s main antagonist learn Glyph Magic.

Not to mention, she struggled with finding her place- in both her world and the Boiling Isles.

This included trying to please her Mom by getting ready to become “normal”, going to a conversion camp and putting away her interests in the Azura series- which she only got really into, because her dad introduced her to it and said series served as her way of coping with his death/honoring her memory.

Which reminds me of the stuff Lilo from the Lilo and Stitch movie did, to cope with the deaths of her parents.

Nevertheless, Luz has always owned up to her mistakes, as far as I can remember, showing absolute maturity, without having her lose touch with her youthful joy and personality.

And she’s a 14-year old girl, doing this!

Star was 16-years old and throughout most of her respective series, she had acted like a 10-year old child- the spoiled type, who wants to be treated as an adult, simply to receive only the perks and rewards of being an adult- such as never being told what to do by their parents, ever again.

Which is not how life, let alone adulthood works- in both reality and fiction!

Trust me. I know.

This way of thinking never works out in the end, for anyone!

And yes, Star is a teenager and teens tend to be arrogant, careless and immature, for the most part, but not as much as she was!

But enough about Luz and Star.

It’s time to discuss their best friends-turned love interest/significant others:

Amity Blight and Marco Diaz.

Throughout the series, Amity Blight had undergone a number of major developments to her character.

From starting out as a cold and snarky “Type A” student, who was only concerned about being the best and rising to the top and who showed nothing but animosity towards Luz, Willow and Gus, to a fierce young girl who stood up to her awful mother, rekindled her relationship with her Father- in a non-incestuous way-, and became not only her own person, but also one of the most valuable allies that Luz could ever ask for- and became an awesome girlfriend to her, as well.

Seriously! The genuine care and concern she showed for Luz- and vice-versa, was beautiful.

And Amity did all of this, in a natural and fluid fashion!

By that, I mean, she slowly- but surely changed, while still retaining just a little bit of seriousness, her past self was known for, still showing some flaws and wrestling with her past misdeeds- as evidenced by her struggling to want to hang out with Willow- who was her best friend at a younger age and whom she dumped, after pressure from her parents- mostly Odalia, though.

Nevertheless, I am glad to have watched this girl grow and evolve, for the better.

As for Marco...what the heck did he really do?

Yeah, he was there to be Star’s guide to the Human Realm and to serve as the voice of reason, but judging from the amount of trouble Star often got into, he failed at that part.

Plus...looking back, he never really had that much substance, as a character.

He started out as a “Safe Kid”, who loved karate and cooking and had a crush on one of his classmates, but that’s it.

His home life was decent, as he had two loving parents and he had two best friends.

I don’t think he had any personal struggles to deal with- aside from the ones in “Red Belt” and “Naysaya”, but those were small-time.

I mean...I guess he learned to come out of his shell more, try new things and face his fears, but the execution for that was really underwhelming that I forgot what he exactly did to accomplish those goals.

Plus, he became a bit entitled, during seasons 3 and 4.

The only times he ever became interesting, was during the Blood Moon Ball, where he went all “Masked Mariachi Matador”, to save Star- and ended up dancing with her-, and the episodes with Heckapoo, where he became a buff “Mad Max-esque” version of himself.

Even when helping Star defeat foes like Ludo and Toffee, he didn’t really do much.

Not to mention, that most of the episodes often treated him as a joke character to abuse- especially the episodes with Pony Head- who I will get to, soon.

Ohhhh, do I have a lot to talk about, concerning her...

But back to Marco. Marco Ubaldo Diaz was just a bland character for a majority of the series, with only a small handful of interesting qualities that made him passable enough to end up being Star’s love interest, in the end- and even that ended up feeling hollow.

Their first kiss wasn’t all that special, I can tell you that!

Also, his name spells out “M.U.D.”, in initial form! Thank God nobody in the show realized this, otherwise he would never have lived it down!

Moving on from these two, we get to the friends and mentor-like figures of both protagonists:

These are...THE most awesome group of people that I have ever seen!

Where do I even begin?

Okay. Let’s start with Eda.

Just like with Stanley Pines/Grunkle Stan from Gravity Falls, Eda also struggled with both parental and sibling issues- combine that with her dealing with her previously unresolved feelings for Raine Whispers, the Owl Curse she was affected by, the diabolical plans of Belos and the system he established and the fact that she was now in charge of a Human, for a while and Eda Clawthorne was juggling a lot, throughout the series.

Nevertheless, she handled it, like a pro and with a cocky smile on her face.

However! That isn’t to say, she’s perfect, nor is it to say that she has never had her moments of breaking down and being vulnerable- because she most certainly is not perfect and she most certainly have had episodes, where she broke down!

One episode being where she felt guilt and remorse for getting Luz involved with her battle against Belos and his empire and turning her into a child soldier.

Another episode was the one where Eda was inside of her own mind, and it showed how much she struggled with coming to terms with her curse.

This caused her to accidentally lash out and injure her father, break off a budding relationship with Raine and become more or less of recluse to the Boiling Isles- the referred to her as “The Owl Lady”, after all.

And yes, she eventually overcame this struggle and made peace with her curse- and got a sweet new Harpy form to change into, as a result-, but the journey leading up to that, was dark and traumatic.

Not to mention, her cockiness had led to her downfall on occasion.

For intense, when she kept taunting Lilith and the latter revealed that she was the one who cursed her, Eda was stunned enough for the Emperor’s Coven guards to utilize this distraction and capture her, back in season 1.

There were also times when she and Luz disagreed and even fought each other on occasion- such as in the episode “O Titan, Where Art Thou.”

Regardless of that, Eda Clawthorne overcame so much and came out on top, in the end.

Now for both her adopted son King and her sister Lilith- yes, I will be taking on two characters, in this next discussion.

Since the start of the series, King’s goal was to be seen as “big”- larger than life, even.

Which is why he did stuff to be seen, such as sign with an evil book publisher.

King had also wanted to be seen as royalty, with subjects and everything.

However, as the series went on, his goals have changed and now King no longer wants to be treated as someone “big”, but rather as a normal person.

Which I can respect, in this case- especially after seeing him find out that not only is he probably the last of his kind, but also that the people who he thought were his family were actually hunters who killed off most of his real family- more on them, in the “antagonists” section.

Also side-note, we really should have seen him react more to how people are now living on his “Mother/Father’s” corpse.

Because that...that’s a little messed up.

Plus, he was eight when he found all of that out!

And to add insult to injury, Belos has been using his species as propaganda to further his goals- again, more on that, in the “antagonists” section.

I’m just glad to see that he was doing well in the “Epilogue” scene.

Now for Lilith.

Going into the series, I thought nothing of her, when she first debuted- other than me thinking that Grey DeLilse was voicing her, which she didn’t.

However, as the series went on, I have found that underneath that “Arrogant, Cold, Stern and Uptight” exterior, she had crafted for herself, Lilith is actually the most Human character of the series- even more-so, than the actual Human characters.

One example of how Human she was, was her need to be praised/be someone’s favorite.

This stems from her mom Gwendolyn paying more attention to Eda, instead of her, growing up, which led her to join the Emperor’s Coven and stand by Belos and all of his awful plans.

As someone who suffers from being a people-pleaser who seeks validation from other people, half of the time, I know how she feels...

This is also shown more, when she was told that King was a Titan and she spent most of the day, treating him like a God, in the most awkward- yet hilarious way.

No comment on how I relate to that...

Nevertheless, Lilith overcame all of that, patched things up with Eda and their mom and became a valuable ally to the “C.A.T.S.”, in the final battle- bonus points for her punching a younger Belos, in the face and giving him that nasty scar.

Lilith: “Stay mad.”

Luz: “Cool. Aunt.”

Now for Hooty...

He was alright. I personally wasn’t that invested in him, to be honest.

He was much less annoying than Glossaryk and was more helpful than him, too.

Plus the dynamic he and Lilith had was enjoyable.

But...that’s it.

Moving on, we now go to Luz’s friends: Willow, Gus, Vee and Hunter.

Let’s start with Willow Park.

Willow, lemme just apologize for what you have endured all those years, ago.

You really didn’t deserve to get dumped as a friend, by Amity- even though you and her eventually made up and are best friends, again-, to being relentlessly bullied by Boscha, to struggling with your sense of self-worth.

But I have watched you grow into a more confident and powerful individual, as the series progress and I am so proud!

Not to mention, that you’re out here getting them GAINS!!!

Even without magic, I feel that that you would still kick Boscha’s @**, at this point.

We REALLY should have seen you done that, in an episode!

But aside from that, I am so proud of you and how far, you have come.

Same with you, Gus. Your backstory of being bullied and used by students, you thought were your friends was also painful- I had to mute some of it, to be honest...

Not to mention that you had to struggle with being away from your dad, for quite some time, during the “Day of Unity”, as well as struggle to have confidence in your abilities, as illusions are often dismissed as weak, in your realm- even though I like illusions and illusion magic.

Nevertheless, you overcame your struggles and became powerful enough to take down a coven head!

You rule, Gus!- though, I never really cared for your interest in stuff from Earth.

The writers probably did that, to make you quirky, but not too quirky that you overshadow Luz. *Shrugs*

And now for you, Vee.

Girl, you may be tied with Hunter for having the most f***ed-up upbringing.

Imagine being brought back from extinction, just to be used as part of an experiment, leading to you escaping into another realm and having to masquerade as someone else, in order to start a new life, free from your abusers.

Like...DA**!!!

That is incredibly messed up.

Thank God- or in your case, thank the “Titan” that Camilla was open-minded enough to accept you, as you are.

I’m also glad that Luz and the others accepted you, as well.

Not to mention, you finding your own identity and helping the team fight off Belos, back in the Human Realm.

I wish we could have explored your life, some more, though...

Nevertheless, I’m just glad you weren’t an evil clone of Luz sent by Belos or something.

Now for you, Hunter...

HO-LEE F********************K!!! 

Dude, you...you REALLY need therapy, for all the horrible sh**, you’ve had to endure!

I mean...where do I even begin?

Seriously, do I start with how you’re creation was basically like a twisted version of Pinocchio?

Or should I talk about how you’re the the latest in a long line of “Golden Guard” clones that Belos had eventually killed- who are just clones of Belos’s brother that he also murdered?

Or how you didn’t really have a solid identity to call your own?

How about I talk about how Belos and the other coven members, treated you like dirt- enough for one of them to try and outright KILL you-, or how Belos took control of your body and killed your palisman Flapjack, while in said body?

As you can see, there is SO much about you, that I want to discuss, but I have put this review off so many times already and I really need to move on.

Just know that, I am glad you’ve overcome Belo’s influence and abuse and that you’re now doing well for yourself.

I also hope the friendship between you and “The Captain”, eventually starts blossoming, into something else~ *Wink*

Oh and thank you “tomotasauce”, for making him easy to enjoy, when he first debuted- same with Belos.

For those you who don’t know, “tomotasauce” is a YouTuber, who makes abridged/dubbed versions of shows, like The Owl House and Amphibia.

Check out his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMUdowiR4lUSsEGzE2UM01g?app=desktop 

But back to the review.

Camilla I’ll be honest...I really didn’t think much about you, in the first episode- mostly because you weren’t in in a majority of the episodes-, but since the episode “Yesterday’s Lie”, you really stepped up, as both a Mom and a character!

Plus you weren’t like most Mom’s, who found their kid’s quirks and interests embarrassing, you just wanted to protect her from suffering the same torment, you received when you were her age, for your own quirks and interests- which in this case was being a fan of Sci-Fi.

I wish we could have had a flashback of that- as well as one of you and your now dead husband, to get a good feeling of your relationship with him and his relationship with Luz.

But nevertheless, you have shown time and time again, how open-minded you are, since that episode and how supportive you’ve become- on and off the battlefield.

Plus...LA CHANCLA!!!

I’m not even Latin/Hispanic and I respect it!

In short, I am proud of you!

And now for Star’s supporting cast...

DISCLAIMER: This part contains a lot of capitalized words and a lot of strong language.

Let’s start with the obvious...

No amount of words can ever describe the UNYEILDING RAGE that I have for you!

Like...where do I even begin?

Let’s start with the fact that mere seconds into the first half of your debut episode- which was the second half of the very first episode of the series, mind you-, you have done nothing but bully and berate Marco, just because you thought he was trying to replace you, as Star’s best friend- even though he REALLY should, but more on that, later.

And then you left him behind to get arrested by a police force that was sent to retrieve you, in the first place.

Like not caring that his parents would never see him again or anything.

Just...leaving him, behind.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg of problems, I have with you!

You are selfish, loud, rambunctious, arrogant, bossy, condescending, lazy, spoiled rotten and destructive!

Next to Marco, you also contribute absolutely NOTHING to the group dynamic!

You did some damage with your horn, during the fight scenes, but take that away and you’re as useful as putting out a wild fire with single cup of ice water!

Hell! You are a complete and total mess and almost every episode, you have shown up in, I kept hoping that you’d get some kind of lasting punishment for your actions- like Star finally ending her friendship with you-, but no. Nope.

You get away with the stupid sh** you do, every time!

In one episode, you even cheered over how you got away with what you did.

And the worst part is...Star allows this. So much!

Star enables your behavior and how you treat those around you!

No matter what you do, she will always still see you as her “best friend” and will always be there to pull your figurative @** out of the f***ing fire!

Probably because you and her grew up together and you represent the “fun” lifestyle, she wants to keep, despite the previous plans that were laid out for her, as a Princess, but MY GOD, that is still no excuse, to keep you around!!!

NEWSFLASH!!! Things change!

Here is a quote from Doug Walker. AKA, “The Nostalgia Critic”, when he was giving his final review of one of the most infamous Christmas films: “Christmas with The Kranks”:

“We're not who we were. We change. Sometimes, for the better, sometimes, for the worst, but we all change.”

And Star should have shown that she was starting to change, by DUMPING YOUR NON-EXISTENT @**!!!

Because you are one of the most terrible side characters to ever come out of a Disney cartoon, since DIJONAY F***ING JONES, from “The Proud Family”- both the original series and the sequel/soft reboot!

This is why I was more than happy when Amity stopped hanging out with Boscha and reconciled with Willow.

Because she knew that Boscha was toxic and that no good could ever come from continuing to hang out with her- especially since Amity was starting to have feelings for Luz, who Boscha has constantly tormented!

She literally followed her, Willow and Gus everywhere and picked on them.

WHO DOES THAT?!!!

But back to you, Pony Head...

Tom Lucitor is a literal Demon Prince from the fiery underworld, who wanted to actively kill Marco on sight, because he saw him as a romantic rival for him, in terms of getting Star back.

AND EVEN HE TURNED OUT TO BE AN EVEN BETTER FRIEND IN GENERAL!!!

You know the saying “With friends like these, who needs enemies?”

You are why that quote exists!

You are one of the reasons, why I will probably- but hopefully not-, dread Angel Dust, once Hazbin Hotel officially debuts- especially after watching the ADDICT music video.

Because I fear he's gonna take advantage of Charlie's kindness a lot and constantly do whatever the f*** he wants at the hotel- and Charlie will probably let him, because she can't stand up for herself!

Not to mention, I fear that the fandom will go easy on him more, just because he's getting abused by Valentino!

But this rant is about you, Pony Head, so let's get back to it!

I am not even going to get into how toxic the rest of your family is, because I care about my sanity.

I am nearly convinced that Daron created you, to voice her possible hatred of Ponies, Unicorns and the “My Little Pony” franchise, as a whole- I mean, you're probably her favorite character, because of that reason!

I’m also convinced that Daron saw Jenny Slate’s performance as Mona-Lisa Saperstein from Parks and Recreation and was inspired to create you.

She even hired Jenny to voice you!

Your concept art showed you, flying around with BLOOD leaking out of your neck stump and forming a trail, every time you moved.

That should’ve been a red flag for how awful you were going to be, once you debuted.

So I am going to finish with this:

Princess Lilacia Pony Head of the Cloud Kingdom of Mewni, you are one of the absolute WORST characters, in the show and if I was in charge of writing the episodes back then, I would have had Toffee himself, turn you into glitter glue!

May the citizens of the Cloud Kingdom one day finally rebel against you and your family and turn you and said family into sparkly mystery meat.

In conclusion: F*** you, Pony Head.

F*** you, to Death! 😠😡🤬🖕🖕🦄💀

Now onto another useless character that I hated:

You shouldn’t have been created...

There was no God-given reason for you to ever have been created...

WHY were you created?!!!

You are quite literally the most useless character, in the series- more useless than both Marco and Pony Head COMBINED!!!

All you ever did was float on your lazy blue @** and stuff your face with pudding, while being snarky and condescending and then playing it off as being quirky!

I-I don’t even remember you giving any helpful advice, throughout the duration of the series!

Except maybe to Ludo- which WTF?!!!

You were no help to the protagonist, but you’re willing to help the show’s antagonist?!!!!

Just because he had control of your book?!!!!!

The movie Aladdin- 90s version-, did a MUCH better job with that concept!

And then in later seasons, you had the nerve to not only shout “GLOBGOR!”, over and over again, but when it was revealed that you never lost the ability to speak, you were now voiced by Keith David!

The same Keith David who voiced Spawn, Dr. Facilier and even the Motherf***ing PRESIDENT in Rick and Morty?!!!!

Voicing you was absolutely beneath him!

I am so glad you died, in the series finale- more on that, later.

Hooty was lightyears better, than you- and he was usually depicted as being “simple.”

That is all I’m gonna say.

Next A-Hole!

I...honestly could not vibe with you.

The show tried so hard to make you seem interesting and cool, while being aloof, at the same time and it just came off as eating a non-seasoned burger smothered in ketchup and hot sauce.

Plus you were an absolute creep, sneaking into Marco’s place and all.

I am slowly running out of steam, writing about you.

In conclusion: Meh.

OOOOH Another pair for me to take on!

And since I’m a gentleman: Ladies first!

Ohhhh Moon. They really f***ked up your character.

I mean...they REALLY f***ed you up!

There’s “fumbling the bag” and then there’s deliberately throwing said bag off of the Empire State Building!

I mean...someone in the writer’s room must’ve been going through something, when they had you go from strict parent to genocidal accomplice in 4 seasons.

And yeah, they gave you a tragic backstory with your mom getting killed, when you were a teen and all, but that was no longer valid, when they made you secretly help Meena Loveberry with her plans, in Season 4.

Like...I’m not even mad at you, for that.

The writers were to blame for your character assassination.

That’s all I have to say.

Now for your husband.

Yeah, I got nothing...

Your whole purpose in the show was to be the comic relief.

River, you’re like if Happy from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves had a son, who married into royalty.

You spent a majority of the series eating.

You being portrayed as a “Viking/Barbarian”, in that “Bog Beast” episode, did nothing for me.

Sorry.

Yeah...I really thought I had something for these two.

But no.

I used up most of my steam ripping Pony Head a new one.

Let’s move on.

Who’s next on the chopping block?

Yeah...you get a pass.

Breakups are rough, buddy- Heh, Zuko reference.

And as someone who struggles with anger issues, I know how you feel.

Plus, the show had you go from “Carolina Reaper”, to you being as spicy as a bag of BBQ-flavored Potato Chips- which shouldn’t be in the category of “Spicy.”

Plus you finally matured and realized that you and Star aren’t meant to be.

Not to mention that you and Marco are friends now.

So...yeah. You’re free to go.

NEXT!

You were just a love interest/eventual girlfriend for Marco. That’s it.

Honestly, the show should have done something interesting with your character, like make you half-Mermaid or something- I mean, you were halfway there with the aesthetic.

Talk about wasted opportunities.

And speaking of wasted...step forward Oscar Greason!

Let’s go with your later look, shall we:

Much better.

What the Hell was your appeal?

I really want to know!

The only things I know about you during the very small appearances you made in the show, were that you played the keytar, you lived in your car- which was filthy, BTW-, you dropped out of school and you had a somewhat annoying chill attitude.

You were like a modern Hippie and Star wanted you, because of that.

I was hoping that there would be something freaky and paranormal about you, like you were secretly a Vampire or a Werewolf, because of your fangs- notice how I didn't say "Cyclops, because you're eyes weren't seen a lot, in the first season."

But yeah...you were just there to be Star's small crush. That's it.

Alright, bring in "Bill and Ted."

Wait! I mean "Wayne and Garth."

No! I mean "Burt and Ernie!" 😆

Hold on! I mean "Shaggy and Scooby!" 😂

Okay, okay! "Alfonso and Ferguson."

Bring in Alfonso and Ferguson- in "Part 2" of this review/rant, because I have reached my picture limit for this post, on here.

[cuteteacakes]

A long flight... a layover in some rural airport that lasted for hours... having to sit next to a man that snored so loud he could hear it through his airpods (so much for trying to listen to that romcom to pass the time)... Anders was all but ready to crash and sleep the next three days once he got back... Walking the terminal on his sore feet and dragging his carry-on behind him, he was prepared to hail an Uber when he saw him.

"Welcome home~"

An angel he didn't deserve... "You didn't have to drive all the way here-"

"Ah ah ah, shhhh-" Caleb pressed his finger to Anders' lips. "Just get in my car and I'll get us home. You must be exhausted~"

He couldn't help but smile. "You have no idea..."

In this fic, he tries to learn to bake for Jester, then finds a better idea. Reccer says: Essek's transactional nature of friendships is explored in an interesting way in this, and it's so clear he cares about Jester and Caleb and the Nein. Baking and language are things that are so personal and so important and the characterization of Essek is so delicious. Jester and Essek are everything, the little snacks of shadowgast are everything, and Uraya is the best, what is there not to love! There's also a sequel about Essek and Caduceus.

when you move, i'm moved by robinread (10829, Explicit) Warnings: none When Caleb learns that Essek likes pole dancing, he decides to make him a place to practice his hobby.

I’ve been sharing snips from these stories on discord and I mentioned most of them to @austennerdita2533 and I know @crazychicke is also a fan of this ship. And I’m excited these are the first multi chapters I’m doing for this ship. I don’t know when they are going to come out but I’m currently working on them.

Story number 1: while slaying something happens and Buffy falls unconscious. Luckily spike was slaying with her and caught her when he takes her home. dawn wants him to move in with them cause he promised Buffy he would take care of dawn. Buffy is unconscious they are using spike as a heart rate monitor. Willow calls Wesley to help and team angel shows up to help. Season 6 is still going on even though she is unconscious. Buffy is in a dream world where she is a popular teenager in LA high school there are no monsters or demons. Everyone is there including but not limited to human teenage spike, Angel, darla, dru, Cordelia, oz.

“Forever is a long time, what if something happens or…”

“Or we break up.”

Buffy nods as they enter the cemetery. Her and spike have been dating for a couple weeks now. Last night after they had sex Spike had brought up the topic of claim. Saying they could claim each other.

Spike turns towards her and she is looking around the cemetery. He takes her hands in his. “I love you and I know you like me too.”

Buffy avoids his eyes but can only avoid his look for a minute then looks at him. “You’re right I do like you, why do you want to claim me? Do you do that with all your girlfriends.”

He raises an eyebrow and smirks. He never realized just how much that word would mean to him. “Girlfriend?”

A vampire comes up behind them and before Buffy can respond to spike she turns around and stakes the vampire in the heart. “What no…. I mean.”

He laughs as he stakes another vampire. Can’t they wait to rise until he and Buffy finish their conversation. It’s a matter of respect these baby vampires know nothing, even when he was evil he still had manners.

“Shut up spike.” Buffy kicks a vampire trying to attack her as she stakes him.

He laughs again and she glares at him taking a punch in the jaw from another vampire. “I never have with anyone else. Not even with Drusilla, harmony was never my girlfriend.”

She jumps up from the ground still shocked by what he said about how he has never claimed someone not even Drusilla. She punches the vampire coming at her then stakes him.

Spike dusts the vampire that was trying to fight him when he looks over at the slayer he sees that she has dusted hers too but is wobbling. He runs over to her and thankfully gets there just as she passes out. He catches her and picks her up bridal style. “I got you luv. We’ll go back to my crypt and see what’s wrong.”

Buffy moves in his arms as he carries her she doesn’t even try to object to him picking her up. She lays her head on his shoulder. Her breathing is being shallow, he doesn’t smell any blood on her so he knows she is not injured but something is wrong with her.

Xxx

Story 2: Buffy gets pregnant during season 6 doesn’t know she’s pregnant just thinks it’s stress. Spike is the father. Dawn finally gets Buffy to go to the doctor and when they find out she is pregnant. She’s scared to tell spike, when she does tell him he decides to get his soul. Buffy and dawn deal with her pregnancy. They find spike in the school basement and Buffy takes him home. He doesn’t have a trigger. During her last month shit hits the fan the first takes spike. Giles comes with potentials. The night she rescues spike and kills an Uber vamp she goes into labor. Together as parents they decide to send their baby to angel investigations to protect. La is safer then a hellmouth, bringers, Uber vamps, and Caleb. What they didn’t know angel investigations is dealing with angelus in a cage, and Cordelia/jasmine. And now they have to take care of spuffy baby.

Glass breaking, the noise of not only two bodies slamming into each other with a powerful force, the moans, cries of ecstasy and growls, but also them banging against bookcases and shelves occasionally hitting and scratching each other all echo through out the cavernous downstairs of Spike’s crypt.

Spike rolls off Buffy, both of them breathing heavily, for Buffy it’s necessary after a workout like that, for spike some human things have stuck and he breaths even though he doesn’t need the oxygen. Both of them are on the floor under and on top of multiple carpets. She can’t feel the cold earth underneath her. She looks back at the untouched bed it’s the only thing that was not messed up in their latest sex marathon.

“We missed the bed again.”

Spike still laying down glances behind him at the bed. “Lucky for the bed.”

Buffy lets out a little smile as she leans up up on her elbows. Spike leans into her shoulder. Memorized by her he always is, he always make it a point to compliment her after every round. “You were amazing.”

“You got the job done yourself.”

“I was just trying to keep up, the way you make it hurt in all the right places.” He leans further into her shoulder.

Buffy changing the subject knowing this conversation can’t end well. “You did a good job fixing this place up it’s cozy.”

“I ate a decorator once maybe something stuck.”

She can’t help the chuckle that escapes her lips. “I’ve been thinking of doing something with my room, you know new life, new hair, new sex, why not new bedroom.”

It’s a hit or a miss if they talk after sex sometimes, sometimes they do and sometimes it’s a quickie and then she’s gone. They usually do it in his crypt or that one time in that building they brought down. He likes when they talk after because when she runs off right after it feels like one of his daydreams he is just waking up and instead of Buffy he’s still with Harmony. When they talk after they see a different side to the other. They are coming down from their highs and they are vulnerable in front of each other.

Spike’ fingers graze her arm as he looks up at her. “And you want my help picking out furniture?” There’s a teasing tone in his voice, and his cold fingers grazing her hot skin is making her crumble. She wish she knew why they have this effect on each other. They say they hate each other but they can never stay away from each other. Since she’s been back it’s like she sees him differently, she really does believe he loves her and she likes him. They get each other in a way nobody else has before.

She looks up at him through hooded lashes, looking all innocent when they both know she is far from that, he still has the bite marks to prove it. Plus they’ve been trying to make it to the bed for the last five hours.“Well you did eat a decorator maybe something stuck.”

In an instant Spike Is hovering over her leaning down and attacking her lips. She moans into the kiss and pulls him even closer. Her legs are still not working from the last couple of rounds they had.

Xxx

Story 3: before Buffy came to sunnydale spike stumbled upon her and turned her into a vampire and making her his Childe. He is still working on curing Drusilla from what that mob did to her in Prague. While teaching baby vampire Buffy how to be a vampire. He is not going to do what angelus did to him. He is not torturing buffy or making her prove she is vampire nuff for him. He is tender and understanding to her. When spike and Drusilla do go to sunnydale Buffy comes with them for one spike is her sire and he’s still teaching her second she can help with Drusilla after all that is her grandsire. Kendra is the slayer on the hellmouth. Buffy never met Giles. Or Willow or Xander. She doesn’t know who Angel is other then spike does not like him and Drusilla does. Buffy helps spike cure Drusilla. Spike and Buffy’s relationship is more then sire/Childe he loves Drusilla but he also loves Buffy.

Spike opens the door of his DeSoto and he puts his hand out for Dru to take, once she is out of the car she looks around and in her quiet voice says. “Angel.”

He looks over at her he didn’t feel Angel around but maybe her sense is stronger because he turned her. “He’s here too? I’m getting us something to eat.”

She leans into him and says dreamily. “I’m a princess.”

“That you are.”

Before he can say anything else Dru leaves he knows exactly where she is going, she thought she smelt her precious Angel. He just worries about her. She hasn’t been the same since Prague. Spike smells blood and fear and it’s Intoxicating. He follows the smell to Hemery high school. As he is walking up to the school he looks back and swears he faintly smells Angel. But the blood is more potent in the gym. Where lothos was feeding from a blonde teenage girl in a white dress.

When lothos sees Spike he drops the girl. “Spike! it’s been while how are you?”

Spike shrugs his shoulders as he looks around everyone here is already dead it’s disappointing. “Good kinda hungry.”

“Welcome to my buffet. You’re welcome to have anyone.”

As Spike looks around his eyes come across the blonde in the white dress she is still alive and looking up at him with pleading eyes. Her beauty is astonishing. He’s never seen someone so beautiful she glowing the poet in him wants to use the word effulgent. He feels horrible for this thought but she might be more beautiful than his dark princess. The way her green eyes have locked on to his and there’s so much emotion there but there’s also a will to live. He can’t let a beauty like this die and rot.

He bends down to the young woman and puts his arm under her neck to bring her to a sitting position. He asks her the same thing Drusilla asked him over a hundred years ago. “Do you want to walk worlds the others can’t begin to imagine?”

She can’t speak blood has begin to pool in her throat she nods her head. And Spike’s demon come out and he slides his fangs into the holes left by lothos he draws her blood and it tastes different but familiar. He hears her heart slowing down even more and on the last beat he pulls his fangs out.

He takes one of his fingers nails and makes a slice at his neck then brings the limp girl to his neck. He softly says. “Drink luv and come join the world.”

Barely alive she musters all the strength she has and sinks her human teeth into his neck and drinks his blood she can’t believe it it’s so gross but she can’t stop.

After a couple mouthfuls she dies in his arms.

WHOOPS sorry @onetwistedmiracle this took me a billion years (9 days) to do, the passage of time is simply not real to me. See twisted's post here and read her stuff, it's good. I will follow her lead and also pic ten fics that I wrote by myself, just to try and keep things easier lol

I'm bad at tagging people because this account is a side blog and I really only talk to twisted on it (is this an invitation to talk to me? Maybe! But please don't be offended if it takes me 9 days to reply), but if you want to examine your own writing style, consider this a lazy tag.

The last ten fics I wrote were for Critical Role and Star Wars (I miss you Check! Please, eventually I work work more on mine and twisted's collab fic and see you again)

1: You could be the one that I love, And now I'm standin' here, hopin' it gets to you

Molly had the feeling that so long as Caleb Widogast’s hand was on the small of his back, he could do anything.

Part 9 in my Molly/Caleb/Essek threesome fic, spicy but they're IN LOVE. I do love to start with a character thought/name.

2: I'm in new territory, somehow, it kinda feels like home

“What?” Padme said, her voice feeling hollow in her own chest.

A rare gen fic for me, I usually write explicit, but this was a fun prequel AU because I love to turn tragedies into opportunities. I also love to start with dialogue, just get RIGHT into things. It's also a short sentence, idk why.

3: Oh, if it's real, if it's sweet

“I’ve made a mistake,” Anakin said, and Luke sighed.

Another teen rating, can you believe I built my AO3 page on writing porn? More dialogue, I just think it's funny. And a short sentence!

4: Wherever you are, we are seeing the same stars

The day after Anakin left, Shmi almost sold C-3PO.

Surprise, it's dialogue AND a short sentence. Am I a two-trick pony? Maybe! Check out this kick flip!

5: Feeling like a face in the crowd

What Molly liked most about Essek and Caleb’s house—besides the fact that they lived in it and he, like, loved them—was just how many nooks and crannies it had.

This is the longest starting sentence thus far, maybe the longest starting sentence ever for one of my fics LOL I usually leave the run-ons for a third of the way through. And it's not dialogue! Shocker! This is also part 8 of my threesome purple wizard series, so the foundation has been laid and I could get a little weird with it?

6: All we got is us now

Ahsoka hadn’t spent a lot of time with Leia Organa.

We're back on the short train with a character driven statement. This is also part 5 of my pretty places series, so, again, there could be something to the already established aspect of it, or nothing at all!

7: Look how you made me

“Jester has questions,” Fjord said with a sigh.

Dialogue, but this time it's not from the POV character. I'm not doing a very good job analyzing things, but I am having a good time.

8: A message in a bottle is all I can do, Standin' here, hopin' it gets to you

Caleb Widoghast and Essek Thelyss lived very different lives from Mollymauk Tealeaf.

Character driven thought! Writing is hard, okay, and you gotta start somewhere. Definitive statements and dialogue are nice jumping off points.

9: I'm reaching for you

The first time Molly had sex with Caleb and Essek, he called himself an Uber right after.

This one is earlier on in the threesome series; timeline-wise it's like...the second story? 1.5 technically, since it happens mid first story? But I wrote it fifth, so. Establishment theory does or doesn't gain traction here, I don't think I know what I'm saying anymore.

10: 'Cause you could be the one that I love, I could be the one that you dream of

“What’re you thinking about?” Caleb asked, drawing his thumb across Molly’s temple, winding a purple curl between his fingers.

And we're back on our dialogue train! Dialogue starters, my beloved.

I don't know that we (I) learned anything, but it was fun to wander back through my most recent fics. Hopefully this will inspire me to write more fanfiction, but right now I am DEEP in the trenches of my own dungeons and dragons character, so. It's gonna be a minute.

XOXO
