Restless Desires

Kinkvember Day 5: In Heat

IVE's Kim Jiwon (Liz) x Gender Neutral reader

6.8k words

A delicate warmth brushes Liz's face, coaxing her out of sleep. She shifts beneath the sheets, feeling their softness around her like a lingering embrace. Her eyelids flutter open, and the blurred outlines of her room slowly sharpen as she blinks away the last dregs of sleep. Gentle light filters through the curtains, painting her bed in golden shades, almost as if she’s emerged into a new, tender world. With a slow breath, she senses the quiet hum of morning—the soft ticking of the clock, the faint rustle of the sheets, and the subtle, irresistible pull of something stirring within her.

Heat begins to stir low in her belly, a subtle spark that soon spreads like molten fire through her veins. Liz groans softly, a sound of half-hearted resistance mingled with surrender, as she tries to ignore the steady throb between her thighs. Not today, she thinks, rolling over and pulling the covers tighter around her, seeking comfort in her nest of warmth. But the sensation persists, creeping back with greater urgency, like an uninvited guest refusing to leave. Her skin tingles, her breaths quickening, as the fire inside her intensifies, insistent and unyielding—a force that refuses to be denied.

Frustration flickers in Liz's chest, a tiny ember amidst the growing blaze of her desire. She doesn’t want to start the day like this—needy, desperate for something only you can give her. The thought of your touch, the memory of your skin against hers, and the way a single look from you can ignite her longing make the ache impossible to ignore. Her fingers slide beneath the sheets, grazing over bare skin, tracing the contours of her body as if mapping uncharted territory. Even the lightest touch sends a ripple of pleasure through her—a shockwave that promises more but still isn’t enough. It’s like standing on the edge of a precipice, feeling the thrill of the fall without ever taking the leap.

This is ridiculous, she scolds herself, the inner voice a stern reminder amidst the clamoring of her body. It’s too early to feel so worked up. But as her fingers moved lower, skimming the sensitive skin of her inner thighs, a soft gasp escaped her lips. Her body hums, alive with desire, every nerve ending screaming for release. Yet no matter how hard she tries, the relief she craves is always just out of reach, a mirage dancing on the horizon, taunting her with its elusiveness.

After several minutes of futile attempts, Liz groans in frustration and throws the covers aside, the cool air of the room clashing with the heat burning inside her. She stomps into the bathroom and splashes cold water on her face, hoping the shock of it will douse the flames consuming her. But as she stares at her flushed reflection, droplets of water clinging to her cheeks, she knows the day has already been defined by the current of desire coursing through her. It’s a force too strong to be quelled by cold water or willpower. This part of her—a wild, untamed longing—yearns for connection, for the touch only you can provide.

Liz steps into the shower, letting the hot water stream over her skin, the heat a strange comfort that matches the fire pulsing beneath her surface. The steam wraps around her, blending with the tension she carries, momentarily giving her the illusion of release. But as the minutes pass, it becomes clear that no amount of scalding water can wash away the ache smoldering inside. Shutting off the stream, she wraps herself in a towel, droplets trailing like tiny reminders of her unrelieved need.

Accepting the truth that pulses within her, Liz acknowledges that the only way to find peace is to embrace the fire, to surrender to the longing that refuses to subside. Determined, she resolves to seek you out, knowing that only you hold the key to quenching the thirst burning inside her. After drying off, she pulls on simple undergarments, the fabric cool against her still-warm skin. She throws on an oversized sweater in an attempt to shield herself from the world, but the soft, loose fabric feels irritating against her heated body. Her shorts, normally a comfortable fit, now feel restrictive, a teasing reminder of the tension coiling within her. Even as she steps into the kitchen, Liz’s frustration has only deepened.

In the gentle calm of the kitchen, you sit at the table, fingers flying across your laptop keyboard. You looked focused, so absorbed in your work, and the sight sent a jolt through Liz, intensifying the throbbing between her legs. She bites her lip, momentarily stunned by the image of you deep in concentration, while her body vibrates with a need that makes it impossible to think of anything else.

“Morning,” she calls softly, attempting a casual tone.

You glance up, offering a warm smile. “Morning my love, how was your sleep?,” you reply before returning your focus to the screen, oblivious to the storm brewing within her.

With a hard gulp and her heart pounding as Liz crosses the room in quick strides. She leans down, planting a soft kiss on your lips, intending it as a brief touch of affection. But the instant her lips meet yours, the fire blazing inside her flares to life, overtaking any sense of restraint. The kiss deepens almost instinctively, her body pressing against yours, her fingers trembling as they cling to your shirt.

A soft, involuntary whimper escapes her, and she feels the tension in her own body shiver into the kiss. She needs this, needs you, the way a parched desert thirsts for rain. Every inch of her skin feels electrified, hyper-aware of your closeness, her pulse racing to match the quickening rhythm of her breath.

You pull back slightly, surprised, your eyes searching hers. “Baby? What—”

But she doesn’t let you finish. Driven by a hunger too strong to ignore, she grabs the front of your shirt with both hands and pulls you back, crashing her lips into yours with a fierce, undeniable need. Her fingers twist in the fabric, knuckles whitening as she clings to you, anchoring herself against the tidal wave of longing rising within her. The kiss is no longer gentle—it’s a desperate claim, a silent plea that her words can’t convey. Her mouth moves against yours insistently, each press of her lips more urgent than the last, her breath mingling with yours as she leans in, seeking every ounce of connection she can steal from this moment.

Her body seems to mold itself to yours, her hands slipping up to cradle the back of your neck, pulling you closer as though afraid of the slightest distance. Her pulse hammers in her veins, each beat fueling the fire burning brighter inside her, making it impossible to hold back. She pours every bit of her yearning into that kiss, the soft brush of her lips transforming into something raw and consuming, a desperation she can’t disguise or suppress.

When you finally break apart, both of you are breathless, and Liz’s face is flushed, her pupils wide with desire. She grins, heart pounding a wild rhythm that mirrors the frantic beat of her pulse. "Just... a good morning kiss," she teases, though her voice is husky, barely above a whisper, betraying the intensity of her desire.

You chuckle, shaking your head with a look of endearing exasperation. “Right... Maybe you should let me get back to work?”

Liz steps back, the fire inside her roaring even hotter at your words. She isn’t done—not even close. The kiss has only stoked the flames, and the tension in her body is becoming unbearable. She needs more, much more than a mere kiss.

As she busies herself preparing breakfast, Liz keeps glancing over at you. The sight of you working, which usually brings her comfort, now fills her with irritation. Is their work really that important? she wonders, feeling the heat twist in her stomach. Or are they just ignoring me? The thought fuels a potent mix of frustration and anticipation.

In a bold move, she leans over the counter, letting the sweater slip down her shoulder, exposing more skin than necessary. “Hey,” she calls, keeping her tone light and playful. “Do you think it’s normal to feel… really warm down there?”

You glance up, raising an eyebrow in curiosity. “Warm? Like a fever?”

Liz chuckles, her heart racing with the thrill of her own audacity. “No, not like that... just... you know, hot.” She lets the words hang in the air, heavy with implication.

Your expression is confused, and it only stokes her impatience. “Maybe it’s the weather,” you offer, looking back at your screen. “Should I open a window?”

Liz sighs, rolling her eyes as she turns back to the stove. Seriously? she thinks, already conjuring up a dozen ways to make you understand the heat she wants to share. The day is still young, and Liz is determined that the fire within her will not be doused by misunderstanding or indifference. Today, she’ll make sure you feel the heat, too.

After a cozy breakfast shared in the warm glow of morning light, Liz feels a familiar itch for a bit of fun. The soft clicks of your keyboard punctuate the quiet kitchen, your concentration clearly unbroken by her hints at distraction. She smiles to herself, deciding it’s time to turn things up a notch.

With a mischievous glint in her eye, Liz unlocked her phone and scrolled through her carefully curated playlist until she found one of your favorite songs—an upbeat, toe-tapping melody known to get even the most stoic souls moving. As the lively tune filled the kitchen, she swayed her hips, casting a playful glance over her shoulder in your direction.

“Come on, you love this song!” she teased, her voice bubbling with infectious enthusiasm. She exaggerated her movements, swishing her hips dramatically as if inviting you to join her in a spontaneous dance. “Dance with me!”

You glanced up, offering a brief smile at her playful energy before your eyes returned to the screen. “I would love to, but I really need to finish this…” you replied, your tone laced with apology but unwavering in focus.

Undeterred, Liz spun on her toes, her hair fanning out as she twirled closer to you. “Oh, come on!” she exclaimed, throwing her hands up in mock exasperation. “Just one dance. You know you can’t resist me!”

A soft chuckle slipped from you, clearly entertained by her antics, but your fingers resumed their quick tapping across the keyboard. “I really need to get this done,” you insisted, your focus still intact.

With an exaggerated huff, Liz threw her hands in the air, her eyes sparkling with renewed determination. She realized subtlety wasn’t going to work this time; she needed a different approach. So, with a sly smile, she scrolled through her phone again, selecting a slower, sultry track that filled the kitchen with a deep, sensual beat. She began moving to the rhythm, rolling her hips in a way she knew would be impossible for you to ignore.

The shift in tempo did not go unnoticed. Your fingers stilled momentarily, and your gaze lifted, following the hypnotic sway of her body. Liz noticed the flicker of interest in your eyes and smirked inwardly. Gotcha, her confidence started to build.

“What's more important, your work or me?” she whispered, stepping closer until her chest is pressed against your back. “Come on, just give in, I can see it in your eyes.” Her breath was warm on your ear, her voice dipping into a tone that sent a shiver down your spine.

Without waiting for a response, she leaned in, pressing a gentle, lingering kiss just below your ear, where she knew you liked. Her lips traced down the line of your jaw, slow and deliberate, as if savoring every inch of skin. Her kisses were soft at first, feather-light, each one coaxing you to lose a little more focus.

As she reached the side of your neck, her hands slid up and tangled into your hair, her fingers curling with just enough pressure to make you look up from your work. She tugged gently, pulling you closer as she kissed the spot just above your collarbone, her lips pressing in deeper, each kiss warmer and more possessive than the last. She could feel the faintest hitch in your breath as her lips moved, her mouth leaving a trail of warmth in her wake. The sensation was dizzying, and every brush of her lips seemed to spark a little more heat between you, making it impossible to ignore her any longer.

One hand drifted from your hair to your shoulder, her fingertips brushing slowly down your arm before trailing back up, her touch deliberate and teasing. Her lips hovered at the nape of your neck, grazing softly as she whispered, “Can you please give me attention?” Her voice was a gentle plea wrapped in a sultry tease, her breath hot against your skin.

Her hands tightened slightly in your hair as her lips continued their trail, her kisses deepening as she left small, possessive marks—soft, warm reminders of her presence that lingered even after her lips moved. She pressed herself closer, the rhythm of the song matching the slow, deliberate beat of her heart. Her voice softened, and you could feel her smirk against your skin, an invitation that left little choice but to surrender to the pull of her touch.

Your resolve wavered as you glanced at her, but with a quick shake of your head, you refocused on your work. “Honey, I promise after I'm done, I'll give you all the attention you need, okay?”

Her lower lip jutted out in an exaggerated pout, the disappointment was almost comically dramatic. But she wasn’t ready to concede defeat. Instead, with a quick, determined stride, Liz slipped out of the kitchen and darted to your shared bedroom. She rummaged through the drawer, grabbing a fresh set of lacy undergarments, a mischievous glint in her eyes as she hid them behind her back. She returned to the kitchen, concealing the change of clothes with an innocent smile.

Rejoining you, Liz picked up a glass of water, a glint of mischief in her eye. She positioned herself close to you, pretending to take a casual sip, then with an exaggerated gasp and a theatrical tilt, she "accidentally" spilled the water down the front of her sweater and shorts, the cold splash soaking through the fabric and clinging to her curves beneath.

She let out a playful, shocked gasp, looking down at herself with wide eyes. “Oops!” she exclaimed, feigning innocence as she looked up at you, her eyes shining with mischief. “Looks like I made a mess…”

You looked up, eyebrows raised in amused disbelief. “Really?” you began, trying to keep your tone stern, but your amusement betrayed you.

Without missing a beat, Liz shrugged, flashing you a devilish smile as she reached for the hem of her soaked sweater. With an agonizing slowness, she pulled it off, letting the damp fabric slip over her shoulders and fall to the floor, leaving her in her wet shorts and a cute pink bra that hugged her so well. She shot you a glance, watching as your gaze lingered.

But she wasn’t done. Her fingers hooked under the waistband of her shorts, and with a teasing glance in your direction, she slid them down her hips, letting the fabric fall to the floor and leaving her in the matching soaked underwear. The damp material clung to her skin, accentuating every curve and had become almost see-through, revealing the soft contours beneath. It molded to her body, tracing every line and dip with delicate precision, hinting at the natural line between her legs. A small smile played on her lips as she noticed the faint shift in your expression, a silent acknowledgment of the effect she had on you.

She took a slow step forward, lifting her chin defiantly. “You sure you don’t want to help me out now?” she teased, raising an eyebrow as she tugged at the strap of her bra.

Your gaze followed the movement, and you chuckled, shaking your head even as your resolve began to waver. “You’re going to have to try harder than that,” you replied, though your tone softened, hinting at how close you were to giving in.

“Oh, I plan to,” she murmured, her voice a sultry whisper as she drew nearer. Her hands slipped behind her back, fingers deftly locating the clasp of her bra. In one smooth motion, she unhooked it, allowing the fabric to glide down her arms and pool at her feet, revealing her bare chest. Her eyes locked onto yours, challenging you to look away. But you couldn’t; your gaze lingered, tracing the contours of her form.

Then, with deliberate slowness, she turned around, her back to you as her hands slipped down to the waistband of her panties. She bent over slightly, just enough to give you a full, tantalizing view, as she peeled the wet fabric down her hips and thighs, letting it drop to her feet. Every movement was slow and intentional, and the sight left you speechless, torn between finishing your work and giving in.

Straightening up, she faced you once more, her cheeks slightly flushed but her eyes filled with confidence. Without a word, she reached for the fresh set of undergarments she had hidden, slipping into them as you watched, completely captivated.

Her lips curled into a sly smile as she met your gaze again. “Now… will you touch me?” she asked, her voice a soft plea wrapped in a sultry tease, her tone breaking the last of your resolve.

You chuckled, shaking your head with a hint of feigned restraint. “Later, I promise. If I don't finish this then I won’t have a job—and then I won’t be able to get you all those things you keep hinting about.” Your tone was steady, but your gaze betrayed you as it traced all over her body, revealing just how much of a struggle it was to stay focused.

Liz let out an exaggerated, melodramatic groan, her hands falling to her hips in mock defeat. “Fine, fine. Later, that's what you always say,” she said, pouting as she reluctantly stepped back, throwing you one last, imploring look.

Just then, your phone buzzed on the table, its insistent vibration shattering the playful silence. You stood up to answer, frustration flashing across your face as you paced back and forth, absorbed in the terse conversation. As you talked, Liz watched you, her own impatience simmering. The wait stretched on unbearably, her need for you now pulsing with an almost comical level of urgency. She could feel her determination solidifying.

Without uttering a single word, she rose from her seat, her movements fluid yet purposeful. She slipped into the sanctuary of the bathroom, closing the door softly behind her. The coolness of the tiles against her back was a contrast to the feverish heat that radiated from within. Leaning against the wall, she released a shaky breath, the ache between her thighs a relentless, pulsating demand for attention.

Her hands, trembling slightly with pent-up desire, began a slow descent down her body. They traced the contours of her hips, the familiar terrain now electrified with heightened sensitivity. Dipping between her legs, her fingers tentatively explored the heat that beckoned them. Her breath hitched as she grazed her sensitive skin, a jolt of pleasure coursing through her, but it was fleeting, a mere whisper of what she truly yearned for.

She pressed her fingers more firmly against herself, attempting to mimic the touch she so desperately needed from you. Her heart pounded in her chest, a staccato rhythm that matched the increasing tempo of her own hand. The tension within her coiled ever more tightly, each desperate stroke fueling the fire that threatened to consume her.

Yet, despite her best efforts, the release she sought remained maddeningly out of reach. Her self-administered caresses, though fervent, were a hollow imitation of the passion she craved. A soft desperate whimper escaped her lips, her head falling back against the unyielding wall as her body trembled with unmet need. Her fingers moved with increasing urgency, her breath quickening to short, sharp gasps, but the elusive wave of pleasure she sought continued to elude her, taunting her with its proximity.

"Come on… please…" she begged into the empty room, her voice a tremulous blend of desperation and frustration. She increased the pressure, her hips undulating against her own hand, but the crescendo she so desperately sought remained just beyond her grasp. Her fingers, now slick with her own arousal, were simply not enough to quell the storm within her.

Defeated, she withdrew her hand, her body still throbbing with an unsatisfied longing. Her breath came in shallow, ragged gasps, and a solitary tear of frustration tracked down her cheek. The realization hit her with a profound clarity: she needed you. Only you could extinguish the flame that raged unabated inside her.

Liz composed herself, the cool air of the bathroom doing little to temper the inferno that burned within. She emerged from the bathroom, her gaze immediately drawn to you. You sat at the table, the picture of calm repose after your phone call, contrasting to the turmoil that racked her. Without hesitation, she sprinted across the room, her need for you a palpable force that propelled her forward. She climbed onto your lap, her body pressing against yours, her desperation an unmistakable presence between you.

"I don't care about your work," she whispered, her voice raw with the remnants of her frustrated attempts at satisfaction. "I tried, but it's not enough. I need you."

The words hung in the air, raw and vulnerable, thickening the tension between you. She inched closer, the anticipation building with each heartbeat. Her breaths were shallow, her cheeks flushed, and when she lifted her hand toward your face, her intentions were unmistakable.

Her fingers trembled slightly as she brought them to your eyes, and you noticed the glistening sheen—a subtle but unmistakable sign of her arousal. The warmth radiating from her touch spoke volumes, the scent and sight of her desire making the air around you almost electric.

Slowly, she then slid her fingers past your lips, and you couldn’t suppress the soft gasp that escaped as the taste and warmth of her skin flooded your senses. The feel of her wet fingers against your tongue sent an electric pulse through you, one that lingered, intense and undeniable. Your eyelids fluttered closed, your breath hitching as you surrendered to the sensory overload she was offering.

Her fingers moved slowly, exploring the warmth of your mouth as if savoring every second. She traced the curve of your tongue, brushing lightly against the smoothness of your palate, each touch slow and deliberate, leaving a lingering warmth that was impossible to ignore. You felt her breath, hot and close, mingling with yours as her fingers coaxed a fire that echoed the rising tension between you. Your heart raced, each beat syncing with the throb of need that simmered just beneath the surface.

The heat in her core, which had moments ago felt unbearable, now flared into an intense blaze. With each passing moment, as her fingers remained enveloped in the warmth of your mouth, she could feel herself becoming more and more aroused. The wetness between her legs grew, a physical testament to her body's readiness. A soft moan escaped her lips as she imagined the culmination of their shared desire, the anticipation of what was to come next a sweet torture that promised to finally douse the unquenchable fire within.

Your eyes widened, reflecting a cocktail of surprise and mounting passion as Liz, with a fiery determination, began to move against you. Her hips swayed with an initial languidness, a slow burn that was quickly stoked into an intense flame. Each roll of her body was a word in an unspoken language, a plea for connection that was both physical and profoundly emotional.

Her lips, soft and insistent, blazed a trail down the column of your neck, marking you with the fervent passion of her need. The love bite she left just below your ear was a brand, a claim of intimacy that sent shivers down your spine. “Keep working for all I care, just let me use you.” she whispered, her voice a tremulous testament to her desperation. Her sentence trailed off into a moan as her hips found a rhythm that spoke of her urgency.

Liz’s body was a conduit of yearning, each movement an expression of her deep-seated desire. Her need was palpable, a force that seemed to vibrate through the very air around you. Your hands, initially steadying, now clung to her waist with an intensity that mirrored her own. Your breaths were short, sharp bursts of air as you wrestled with your own surging need, striving to maintain a semblance of control in the face of her unbridled passion.

But Liz, lost in the throes of her own longing, was beyond the point of patience. Her lips returned to your neck, leaving another love bite, a twin to the first, as she ground against you with increasing fervor. “Ugh forget what I said. Please help me out!” she whimpered, her voice cracking under the weight of her need. “I can’t take it anymore.”

It was the raw vulnerability in her voice that finally pierced your resolve. Your hands, now firm and decisive, gripped her hips, not to pull her closer but to lift her gently off your lap. You guided her toward the bed, a sanctuary where you could lavish upon her the care and attention she so desperately craved. Liz blinked in momentary confusion, her body still pulsing with unfulfilled desire. She had been so close to the edge, so ready to tumble over it with you.

“Okay” you murmured softly, your voice a soothing balm against her flushed skin as you cupped her cheek. Your thumb traced a gentle path across her heated flesh, a silent promise of the tenderness to come. “I didn't know it was this bad, I'm sorry for making you wait.” Your lips found hers in a kiss that was both a reassurance and a reawakening of her senses. “But I want to take care of you properly. This is all about you, baby.”

Liz’s breath hitched, her body quivering with a mixture of anticipation and a newfound sense of being cherished. As you guided her down onto the bed, your hands moved with a reverence that made her heart flutter. Each touch, each caress, was a testament to your desire to please her, to explore the depths of her need and satisfy it in a way that was as much about connection as it was about physical release.

Your lips continued their journey, leaving a trail of soft, deliberate kisses down her neck. You took your time, savoring the moment, as you kissed across her collarbone with a tenderness that made her feel both vulnerable and exquisitely seen. With gentle care, you unclasped her bra, revealing the stiff nubs breasts, the raw truth of her desire. Liz’s skin prickled under your touch, her breath coming in shallow gasps as she surrendered to the waves of anticipation that coursed through her.

In the quiet of the room, the world outside faded away, leaving only the two of you—a tangle of limbs and a tapestry of whispered yearnings. Your every move was deliberate, a dance of devotion that promised to worship every inch of her being. Liz felt overwhelmed, not just by the sensations that threatened to consume her, but by the depth of emotion that shone in your eyes. In this sacred space, she was not just a body to be claimed, but a soul to be revered.

As your lips continued their tender exploration, each kiss a vow of adoration, Liz surrendered to the exquisite surrender, knowing that in your capable hands, she would find not just the release she craved, but the connection she had been yearning for all along.

“I’ve got you, baby,” you whispered against her skin, kissing lower as your hands gently pressed against her thighs to ease them apart. “Let me take care of you.”

Liz whimpered softly, her fingers gripping the sheets as your lips grazed her inner thighs, teasing her with featherlight kisses. The anticipation was excruciating, the fire between her legs almost unbearable now. “Please,” she gasped, her hips shifting under your touch. “Please hurry up. I can’t wait…”

You looked up, eyes dark with intent but softened with affection. “I know, honey,” you murmured, voice soothing. “You don’t have to wait anymore.”

Slowly, you hooked your fingers around the waistband of her panties, slipping them down her thighs. As you pulled the fabric away, a glistening line of arousal connected it to her core, a raw, intimate sign of her need that sent a fresh wave of desire surging through you.

With that, you lowered your mouth to her most intimate area, beginning a slow, deliberate journey with your tongue that drew a sharp gasp from her lips. Liz's back arched off the bed as the first wave of intense pleasure washed over her, your name falling from her lips in a soft, breathless plea.

You savored every moment, taking in the taste and warmth of her, feeling the desperation in every tremor of her body. Your tongue moved with deliberate purpose, tracing slow, languid circles around her most sensitive spot before pressing in, tasting the raw sweetness of her arousal. The slight tang lingered on your tongue, a heady reminder of how close she was to unraveling.

With each flick and caress, you explored her rhythm, sensing exactly where to tease and where to soothe. You took her clit between your lips, sucking softly at first, then with increasing pressure, drawing a deep moan from her that resonated through your chest. Her hips arched instinctively, pressing against your mouth, silently begging for more. The slow, sensual rhythm built her higher and higher, and you felt her thighs begin to tremble on either side of you.

Liz’s hands fisted the sheets, her breath coming in short, uneven gasps as you intensified your pace. You could feel her holding back, teetering on the edge, her body taut and eager beneath you as your tongue worked her into a state of pure need. She had waited so long for this, imagined your touch from the moment she woke, and now, here you were, driving her wild with bliss.

“Please,” she whimpered, her voice a desperate plea. Her fingers found their way to your hair, tangling in it as she clung to you, her body quivering. “Don’t stop… Oh God, please don’t stop.”

You lifted your head just enough to murmur against her skin, the hum of your voice sending a shiver through her core. “I won’t, baby,” you whispered, lips brushing her, each word thick with intent. “I’m going to make you feel so good.”

Her soft cries grew louder as you continued, your tongue stroking over her, slow and unrelenting, each motion sparking new jolts of pleasure that left her gasping and releasing another desperate moan from her lips. Liz’s body arched sharply, her thighs tightening around you as the pressure intensified.

“Oh my…” she gasped, voice catching in her throat, her breath shallow and ragged. “I’m so close…”

“Go ahead, baby,” you murmured, your breath hot against her skin. “Cum for me.”

The words combined with a deep flick of your tongue, were all she needed. Her release crashed over her, consuming her in waves. Liz cried out, her body trembling violently, thighs quivering uncontrollably as the orgasm took hold. Her hands clenched the back of your head, pulling you impossibly close as her head threw back, each moan spilling from her lips a testament to the ecstasy you’d pulled her into.

But you didn’t stop. Your mouth remained on her, relentless and devoted, your tongue and lips letting her ride out every last bit of her orgasm. When her thighs started to press together, instinctively seeking some escape from the intensity, you hooked both hands between her legs, prying her open with gentle but steady pressure. Your fingers dug softly into the flesh of her inner thighs, holding her in place, ensuring she stayed completely vulnerable to every flick of your tongue.

Liz whimpered, her hips squirming under your firm hold, her body entirely exposed to your touch, with nowhere to hide from the sensations that were building within her. She tried to twist away, overwhelmed by the pleasure, but your hands kept her steady, her every movement restrained in the soft grasp of your fingers.

“I can’t… please… it’s too much…” she moaned, her hands weakly gripping your head, but even then, she knew the warm feeling in her core was still lingering. “Okay, maybe just one more.” She weakly let out, contradicting her own words.

The sensation between her legs was nearly unbearable, her breath coming in shallow, desperate gasps as your mouth moved over her, slow and torturous, each flick of your tongue igniting another spark of sensation. You let your lips close over her sensitive clit again, sucking softly, then firm enough to tug on the nub, until her body responded with a shuddering moan that sent a thrill through your being.

You let your mouth bring her closer and closer, feeling the growing tension in her thighs and the way her breathing became ragged. You stayed focused, your tongue moving with purpose, keeping her right on the edge.

“Oh… oh, please…” she gasped, her voice quivering as you increased the pressure, holding her open and vulnerable as her release built quickly, the intensity almost too much to bear.

With a particular lick, your tongue curved deep inside her, pressing against her walls as it moved, then you brought it back flicking over her clit repeatedly. She cried out, her body going rigid as the climax surged through her. Her toes curled, and her thighs trembled in your firm grasp, but you held her open, feeling the waves of pleasure pulse through her. Her juices enveloped your mouth as she shook uncontrollably, her hands gripping the sheets, breathless from the overwhelming bliss that crashed over her again and again. “Oh God… fuck! I-I’m cumming!” she cried, her voice breaking as her body convulsed beneath you, every nerve alight with intensity. The sensation was so powerful it left her undone, each convulsive tremor a testament to the pleasure coursing through her, leaving her utterly spent, yet deeply fulfilled.

You slowed your movements, letting your tongue soften as you felt the warmth of her release, helping her ride out the final waves of pleasure. Leaning in, you pressed gentle, reverent kisses along her pulsing, trembling folds, each one soft and deliberate, as if sealing in the pleasure that still coursed through her. With each kiss, you felt the last traces of her climax gradually ease, her body quivering under your touch.

When you finally pulled back, Liz collapsed onto the bed, her body still trembling, her breath coming in ragged gasps. She was completely spent, her mind foggy with exhaustion and the overwhelming afterglow of multiple orgasms.

You crawled up beside her, pressing soft kisses along her stomach, then moving to her chest, and finally finding her lips. The kiss was slow, tender, and filled with love. Liz melted into it, tasting herself on your lips, her body still shaking from the aftershocks. Yet amid that tremble was a warmth in her chest—a feeling of being so completely cherished that it nearly brought tears to her eyes.

“You’re so cute,” you whispered against her lips, brushing a strand of hair from her face. “I love you so much.”

“I love you too,” Liz murmured, her voice barely above a whisper. Her body felt heavy, exhausted from the overwhelming pleasure, and she could feel the exhaustion pulling at her.

You smiled softly, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “Take a nap baby, I’ve got you.”

Liz’s eyelids fluttered shut, her body relaxing completely into the bed. The last thing she felt was the warmth of your lips pressing a final kiss to her forehead before she drifted off into a deep, contented sleep. You bent down and pressed a delicate kiss to her forehead, your lips lingering there as you whispered, “Sleep well, my love.”

Carefully, you tucked the blanket tighter around her shoulders, making sure she was wrapped up securely, bundled in a loving warmth. You gently ran your hand over the curve of her waist, the lightest of touches, before pulling the blanket higher up around her neck, ensuring that no part of her would feel cold. It was as if you couldn’t stop yourself from wanting her to be as comfortable and protected as possible.

“You’re adorable,” you murmured softly, smiling as you leaned in to kiss her again, pressing your lips softly to the top of her head. “How did I get so lucky?”

Liz let out a soft, sleepy hum, shifting slightly under the blanket, but she remained blissfully asleep. Your heart fluttered at the sound, and you stood slowly, your movements quiet and gentle as you finally tore yourself away, knowing she was completely at ease.

With a reluctant sigh, you walked back to the kitchen, settling in front of your laptop once again. But after just a few minutes, your thoughts kept drifting back to Liz, still peacefully asleep just a room away. Every few moments, you glanced in her direction, your focus slipping from your work.

Why not work there? you thought.

After all, you could bring the laptop into the bedroom and be close to her while she slept. Quietly, you stood, gathering your laptop and slipping into the bedroom. There was a small table and chair near the window, just perfect for setting up your workstation. You set the laptop down carefully, keeping the light low to avoid disturbing Liz, and settled into the chair.

Now, from your spot, you could watch Liz sleep while you worked—something that made your heart feel a little fuller.

As you worked, you kept stealing soft glances at her, your heart warming every time you saw her peacefully tucked under the covers, her chest rising and falling in a slow, steady rhythm. You smiled to yourself, feeling a sense of comfort knowing you were nearby in case she needed you.

If I finish quickly… your fingers tapping efficiently at the keys.

Determined to wrap up your work, you focused more than you had all day, your motivation clear. You wanted nothing more than to slide back into bed beside Liz and hold her close.

Finally, after what felt like forever, you finished your last task. A quiet sigh of relief escaped your lips as you closed the laptop, your eyes immediately drifting back to the bed. With a content smile, you stood and tiptoed to the bed, careful not to wake her.

The moment you slipped under the covers beside her, Liz instinctively stirred, her body reacting to your presence even in sleep. Without waking, she shifted closer, wrapping her whole body around you. Her leg draped over yours, her arms encircling your waist, and she pressed her face against your neck, letting out a soft, contented sigh as she snuggled into you, as if she had been waiting for you to return all along.

Your heart swelled as you wrapped your arms around her, pulling her in even closer. You leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to the top of her head, your fingers gently stroking her back as she relaxed fully against you.

“There you are,” you whispered softly, your voice full of warmth and affection. “I missed you too, baby.”

Liz responded with a sleepy hum, her grip on you tightening just a little, her breathing slow and steady. Even in her dreams, she clung to you, her body instinctively seeking the comfort of your embrace. You smiled down at her, your chest filling with a deep sense of love and contentment. She fit so perfectly against you, as though you were two pieces meant to come together.

You settled into the pillow, feeling the steady rise and fall of her breathing against you. You weren’t at all sleepy, but you lay there with a smile, reveling in the warmth of being so close to her. The gentle rhythm of her breathing was comforting, and as you watched her peaceful face, you felt a wave of happiness wash over you. In that moment, everything felt perfect, and you couldn’t imagine wanting to be anywhere else. Wrapped up in each other, with the soft glow of the lights circling around you, everything was as it should be.

Most - Extra I

Read Most here | ~2k words

From me: It's probably too early for an extra for them, but I seriously couldn't resist. Takes place sometime within the first couple of months of the last part.

Warnings: this is going to be disgustingly sweet. Nothing to report except you'll have a toothache after reading.

Summary: Harry gets to rush home from work now to the love of his life. Everything about her makes his heart ache.

Harry was exhausted. Now that she was home, he didn’t have a reason to avoid going home to be by himself. There was no need to feel suffocated by loneliness because he wasn’t alone anymore. So, he changed his work schedule quite a bit. He wasn’t single anymore (even if he never felt that way anyway). But he didn’t do overtime much anymore. He didn’t pick up shifts that others didn’t want or were unable to work due to their own families. The station was never left stranded regardless, but he wasn’t the go-to ask anymore. He felt a little bad and still occasionally took a short overtime shift, but not nearly as many as the insane hours he was prior to her coming home. He didn’t take his time leaving either the way he used to. There was no need anymore. Fortunately, all his coworkers were completely understanding.

48 hours on and 96 hours off. A normal shift for a firefighter. It was so much better than the 18-hour days he was doing before she returned. He could see her for days at a time. He pampered her, snuggled her, and kissed every inch of her skin like she might disappear again even though he really didn’t believe that anymore the way he did when she first came home.

But the end of this two-day shift left him exhausted. It was exceptionally busy. Thankfully, no one was hurt. Only one small house fire contained to the kitchen and the toaster that caught the curtain in the window at fault. There was lots of paperwork that needed filing and reporting for a hundred different things. There was more training. Another visit to the elementary school and a safety outreach program in partnership with other community groups.

Harry grabbed his bag from the back seat, locked his door, and headed inside. Each step felt heavier than the next. He couldn’t wait to get into bed beside her and snuggle her. With the way her work schedule was, she had arrived home after him the last few times. But today, her car was parked next to his. It made his heart flutter. Happy that he had everything he ever wanted. The love of his life, a cute house, and everything. But Harry could have done without the house, the car, the career he loved.

She was there.

That was everything.

It was late. Almost eleven. The outside air was chilly. The moon glowed so bright it almost felt like a stage light on his arrival home. There was the smell of a campfire somewhere a few streets over. All concluding to a perfect fall night. He almost wanted to wake her just so she could come outside and smell it because it reminded him of a bonfire they went to when they first started dating. They made out under a tree and giggled about all their future while their friends drank around the fire.

Quietly, he unlocked the door. He was hoping she wouldn’t wake from his arrival. Her classes alongside work had been kicking her butt. Maybe worse than a 48-hour shift not that she would ever let him think that. No, she doted on him and made sure he was doing okay regardless of how tired she was. It made his heart ache with how much she adored him, but Harry was lucky to have five days off between his shifts. She was lucky if she had one.

Kicking his shoes off right inside the door he was overwhelmed with how good it smelled. A combo of whatever she cooked for dinner and the now permanent scent of her hair care wafting through the house from bathroom all the way to the living room. If this had been even a year ago, Harry never would have thought it was possible to have it all. But the smell of her shampoo was enough to make his eyes watery. Especially after a long couple of days.

He dropped his bag by his shoes, locked the front door, and turned to make his way to the kitchen to put his Tupperware in the dishwasher. He wished he looked sooner because the sight made his heart skim a beat. A strangled, quiet groan came from his throat, as he tried to stop it so he would wake her. Wouldn’t start sobbing with how much he adored her.

Harry rushed to the living room sofa, dropped to his knees beside it. One hand fell to her hip and danced up the curve of her waist, resting on her ribcage as her breath moved her body up and down at gentle intervals. “Kitten,” he murmured.

She didn’t stir. Harry placed a hand over her ear along the side of her head. Softly he rubbed his fingertips into her head. “Baby,” he tried again. Seeing her so peacefully on his couch made him possessive and happy. He wanted nothing more than to watch her like she was his favorite show. All she had to do was sleep; it was enough entertainment for him. They dreamed of things like this and now it was here, and he felt so much love it made him want to cry.

She grunted softly. “Hi baby,” she hummed reaching out and grabbed at his T-shirt. She pulled at the chest, right below the collar of it and tugged him toward her more. Then, she slid her hand over his face. “You okay?”

“M’fine. Why aren’t y’in bed, kitten?"

"S'cold,” she mumbled, yawned.

“So, turn the heat up, baby,” a smile was in his voice as he shook his head at her.

She shook her head back in response. Slowly, she sat up. Her arms came and wrapped around his shoulders and tucked her face into his neck. “Not that kinda cold,” she mumbled.

Fuck, he loved her so much. She was so cute it made him want to scream. She was purposefully on the sofa. Waiting for him.

He swallowed the emotion that was blocking his throat, and he exhaled slowly to calm himself before he had to explain to her why he was crying like a baby because of her and how much he loved her.

He was royally fucked when she walked down the aisle. He would blubber. There wouldn’t be enough tissues in the world to dry his eyes.

“Baby, y'can't sleep on the couch every time m'at work."

"Watch me."

God. His arms tightened around her waist, and he kissed the side of her head as he rocked her gently. He couldn't be close enough to her. "S'bad for your neck t’be on the couch, kitten.”

"It's bad for my heart to be without you in bed."

Harry was going to sob because of her. He squeezed her again. He wasn’t arguing. He just wanted her to be comfy and cozy. Gently, he gripped just behind her knees and pulled her legs around his hips and swiftly stood all in the same movement. He kissed her temple. “Are you hungry?” She asked sleepily. “I’ll make you a plate,” but she nuzzled into his neck, and he almost wanted to say yes, just so he could see how she would manage while half asleep. He thought it was adorable. She was adorable.

“No, kitten. M’fine.”

She frowned. “Did you eat?”

“I ate baby. Don’t worry,” he promised.

“You don’t have to carry me. I’m heavy and you worked so long—”

“Shh,” he hushed. He supported one arm beneath her bum, cradling her to him. He carried her to the bedroom and placed her softly on the mattress before he moved away. She pouted rubbing at her eye with the palm of her hand.

“Where are you going?”

He really didn’t think his heart could take how cute she was. It felt like it was bursting, threatening to break out of his ribcage and find its way into hers so it could be next to her heart. “M’jus’ changing, baby, showered before I left,” he explained. “Gonna be all snuggled close.”

She sighed with relief. Crawled beneath the covers and waited patiently while Harry stripped down to his boxers and went to the bathroom to quickly swish his toothbrush around his mouth.

Harry wasted no time getting into bed. He lifted the sheet, blanket, and comforter that she had decorated the bed in a pattern Harry never would have had if she didn’t live with him. It was plenty warm. Rendering her defense all the sweeter.

He opened his arms for her to nuzzle against him where she also wasted no time falling into his embrace.

Maybe one day she would sleep in bed without him suffocating her with his cuddling.

But it wasn’t going to be any time soon.

“I love you,” she murmured to him.

“I love you,” he kissed down the length of her neck.

“Missed you so much.”

Sometimes he didn’t know if he meant her shift or the three years that he didn’t see her.

“I missed you, baby,” honestly it didn’t matter what she meant because the moments she wasn’t within his sight he missed her like crazy. Too much time apart made him a little insane. A little hungry for time that he couldn’t get back. But he would try anyway and enjoy every second of it. “Don’t sleep on the sofa waiting for me,” he hummed. He worried about her always. “It’ll hurt your neck.”

“Don’t you care about how my heart will hurt, Harry?” Her voice was soft, joking.

“More than anything, kitten,” he promised, seriously. “M’always going t’come home t’you though. Did y’sleep on the sofa last night?” He wondered, realizing that there was always going to be a day he didn’t know where she slept. She nodded against him. No speaking. Perhaps she was too tired. Too tired to pretend as well. There was a tight pressure around his heart and a half-smile, half-frown pulled on his lips. “Baby,” he tutted. “I don’t want you t’do that.”

“S’too late. Spent too many nights without you,” she mumbled.

So, Harry understood. He would have to think of something to help her. But for now, he understood. “M’in love with you,” he reminded her.

“Me too, baby,” she squeezed him making him feel whole.

He cupped the back of her head, kissed the center of her forehead letting his lips press there for so long he hoped it would suction his mouth to her skin just so he never had to let her go ever again. “Can we have French toast in the morning?” She whispered.

He nodded easily, his eyelids felt heavier as they closed, and his chin bumped the top of her head. “Whatever y’want, kitten.”

“Whatever I want?” She murmured.

He nodded again. “Always.”

“Harry?” She whispered. It seemed she got a bit of a second wind from the time he got her off the sofa and brought her to bed. Unfortunately, Harry wasn’t feeling any bit of it. As much as he wanted to stay awake and talk to her for hours on end, he hadn’t slept much the last two days and he felt sleepiness winning over the desire to speak.

“Hmm?” He hummed, almost falling fast asleep before he could hear her again.

“I hate sleeping without you. I never want to do it ever again unless you’re working or you’re on a trip with your family or because Niall wants to sleep with you,” she took a deep breath while Harry smiled and shook his head at her. “So, when we get married, I don’t want to do a single night apart, not even the day before.”

Harry reached for her left hand that rested on his shoulder and he softly rubbed her ring finger. He nodded. Kissed the crown of her head and sighed. “Okay, angel,” he murmured. “No night’s apart that aren’t necessary.”

“I’ll stop talking. You can go to sleep.”

“Don’t get out of bed in the morning,” he murmured and squeezed her tighter. “I hate when y’do that,” he grumbled.

She giggled. “I’ll wake you.”

“Good,” he sighed. “I love you. More than anything.”

“I love you,” she answered. “More than anything.”

Someone responded, "Howl would do chores for Sophie! He loves her so much!" to that Prince Turniphead house-boyfriend post about the "Howl's Moving Castle" movie where I said that Howl wouldn't reliably help around the house. And... no. No, I said RELIABLY, that's a really important word here, but also no.

Nothing about his home setup (the mess of the kitchen in the beginning, the RAINBOW BATHROOM, his cluttered bedroom) suggests that he's in the habit of picking up after himself. I don't think he's purposefully a slob, but I do think he's too distractible and thoughtless to do the required regular cleaning. I think he's a "I'll put this down here for now and deal with it later *proceeds to walk around this object every day for the next three years while doing more interesting / immediate things*" person at best. Being in love does not suddenly change all your habits as a person or your personal interests! I think Howl would definitely try (important word here) to do better for Sophie, but I think it would take a lot of work and he's kind of lazy about these things!

I do think he cooks. Movie Howl IS shown cooking with Calcifer and I think he and his fire demon could have fun with that task, very cute, and leave a mountain of dishes behind them in the process.

Also, (trying to limit referencing the books for those who haven't read them, but I can't resist here) Book Sophie is... kind of controlling and loves to complain? And can also do magic herself? When I said that Howl can't be trusted to RELIABLY do chores, it's partly because I don't think he'd be doing them to 1) Sophie's exacting standards and 2) in the EXACT way that Sophie wants it done. I think Sophie would in many cases decide that it's easier just to train Howl to better stay out of her way, honestly.

Especially because HOWL IS A WIZARD!!! You can't fucking trust those assholes with a simple chore! It doesn't occupy their brains enough and they're ALWAYS going to think, "I bet I could invent a spell to do this for me," and that's how you get floating dishes or animated broomsticks or a fucking water spirit in your house. It's the hubris! Can't smack it out of wizards with a stick!

Howl swallowed a star and made a deal with a fire demon! He built a giant walking castle that was holding together JUST using magic (it completely fell apart at the end of the movie) and wandered freely around the country! He was pretending to be two different people to run businesses and then abandoned the buildings when the government caught up to him! I'm pretty sure he used a magic spell to SQUAT in Sophie's family's former hat shop! He impersonated the king! He dodged the draft literally afterwards in an airship battle! He nearly irreversibly turned himself into a bird monster and fought bombing airships by HIMSELF - and there's no way that Sophie wasn't confusedly picking black feathers off the floor. He summoned the spirits of darkness and started turning into ooze because his hair dye came out the wrong color!

Howl would TRY for Sophie, I believe that. I just also think that he'd rather use magic to completely renovate the entire house than actually scrub floors. I think he would invent an incredibly ugly magical vacuum cleaner for her and Sophie would love it so much that she would choose to overlook the fact that it tries to eat the carpet and curtains and the dog sometimes. I think that if Book Sophie was told she could melt wizards with a bucket of soapy water with a little bit of lemon juice (like the Enchanted Forest Chronicles), she COULD DO IT by choosing to believe it, and Howl hides from her and that bucket because he loves her but she's TERRIFYING.

If Sophie's sister Lettie was visiting and Sophie was panicking because she hadn't had the time to dust on top of the guest room wardrobe... whatever the magical equivalent of shoving all of your stuff into a closet at the last minute to make the place LOOK clean is, THAT's how Howl would help.

Little mini-Aruani fic that’s been *dancing* around in my brain

****

Armin rolls his shoulders as he shucks off his coat, the sound of his keys plinking in the bottom of the porcelain dish reminding him that he’s home.

There’s a chill in the air just behind the glass of the front door, but he can smell the lit fire from the den and somewhere in the house he hears a record being played.

Something orchestral and grand- different from the simple village folk music he grew up with in Paradis.

He smiles, peeking down the stairs into the lower floor of their brownstone style house. They had left it open, unfurnished- nothing but the waxed reclaimed wood floors and some sheer curtains on the window.

“Let’s discover what it can be,” he had said to Annie. “We can grow into it.”

After so long in small squalid living quarters, or in communal style barracks- having a house with three floors and a maid’s quarter seemed excessive. Two private bathrooms? A grand showy living area for guests and a private intimate one for the owners? A dining room with a table set for ten? It made him feel too self-important.

He was a soldier- utility made sense to him, not comfort. And certainly not luxury.

So, the empty space on the bottom floor felt right. It felt like an unanswered question. An ellipses at the end of the sentence.

He steps quietly onto the first few stairs beneath the landing, peering through the banisters until he can see Annie.

He stoops to a crouch, lingering.

She’s dancing, he realizes.

A few months ago, he had paid for a ballet instructor to offer her private lessons- as a gift. She was too fit, too flexible, too physically disciplined to be idle- but he wanted her to discover something about herself other than fighting.

She resisted at first, insisting she wasn’t poised or graceful enough. But her instructor, an aging man who smoked thin cigarettes and spoke with a crisp and lilting accent, adored her. He spoke effusively of her ‘lines’ and her core strength.

But Armin had never seen her dance. The instructor came and left while he was at work in the government office down the street- only running into Armin on the sidewalk as they were coming and going.

Now, he watches, his breath slowing and his heart stilling.

She looks as though she’s floating, he thinks. Weightless. Just an ephemeral being gliding across the floor as though she’s skirting on the air.

She pirouettes and leaps and moves her arms along gracefully unseen lines, her eyes closed and head tilted as she gets lost in the music.

Armin swallows- feeling a heavy sensation sinking into his chest. It’s awe, he knows, but also something else.

Gratitude. That she’s alive. That she’s here with him now. Dancing, moving, breathing, sighing… instead of frozen in time and in place.

He’s so grateful that she has this life.

He doesn’t feel the same way about himself. He drags his perceived debt to the world, to his parents, to Mikasa, to Hange, to Erwin.. to Eren.. everywhere he goes.

He could never be as light as Annie looks right now.

But it’s not his job to be, he realizes.

Finally, she stops, and he can see her breaths moving deeply in and out, her ribcage visible in the thin dance clothes. He looks at the arch of her spine as she holds a pose- and then she drops it, shoulders sagging, rolling her neck on her shoulders.

She clears her throat, stretching her arms above her head as she walks over to lift the needle from the record and the music stops.

She turns, and stops short with a little yelp when she sees him on the stairs.

Armin can’t help but laugh.

“You watched me?” She asks, accusing. “I made so many mistakes.”

Armin shakes his head, rising to stand and walk down the stairs. “How would I know? I’m no dancer.”

“Neither am I.” She says, bashful as she looks away from him out the window. The wind is swirling the sycamore leaves from outside along the sidewalk, filling their view of the street with bright yellow shapes catching the late afternoon sun.

“Nonsense.” He says, opening his arms for her to walk into his embrace. She folds into his chest as easy as any other reflex. As easy as blinking or breathing.

He smiles, leaning his cheek on her head as she buries her face into the collar of his shirt, inhaling deeply. Her daily ritual- breathing him in like it was soothing to her lungs.

He understands, he thinks, as he runs her silken hair through his fingers absently. It’s not enough just to see her or hear her alone. He needs to fill his senses with her to reassure himself that she’s truly there.

“So that’s what this bottom floor is now? Your dance studio?” He asks conversationally.

“For now,” she says, tilting her head back to look at him, “until I decide that it’s something else.”

Armin’s lips quirk into a small smile.

“Still want to leave things open-ended, then?” He jokes.

She hums, and he extends his arm up for her twirl underneath it playfully. “I just want to take our time.” She says quietly as she stills.

He nods in understanding, pulling her close again to press a kiss to her lips.

She can be whatever she wants to be. A dancer one day. An artist the next. A musician. A seamstress. A connoisseur of baked pastries…

Just as she was a fighter, first, and then a lover.

Certainly Annie can be anything in the world… as long as she is his.

#aruani #aruani fanfic #armin arlert #annie leonhart #aot fanfiction #aruannie #armin x annie #i love envisioning Annie as a dancer or a figure skater post canon #i don’t really know what this is guys #i just had the mental image of Armin watching Annie dance and being moved by it

Burning Out • IV

Pairing: Noah Sebastian x Fem!Reader

I was lost, but now I'm found Under the lights and in the sounds So let us sing and sing it loud That we're not perfect, but we're proud of who we are.

Noah Sebastian is lost. His crime-filled lifestyle is anything but perfect; but everything changes once he meets you.

Words: 4.4k

General Fanfic Warnings: 18+, explicit language, smut, alcohol, drugs, violence, mentions murder/suicide, panic attacks/anxiety, nightmares

Authors note: Chapter Four- Show my Thorns (EDITED: 09-03-24)

new? start from chapter one here

My own words stung as they reminded me of my past felonies, but I supposed she truly was my favourite victim. If it wasn't too messed up to say something like that.

"Will I see you for your usual coffee?" She asked, hope seeping through her eyes. How could she want to see me again?

"Yeah," I replied with a forced laugh, lying through each breath. "See you then."

I stepped out of the car and turned to wave before opening the door to the motel room. My heart ached as Y/N drove away.

Goodbye.

Tell me that I'm wrong Tell me that I'm wrong

+++++

NOAH

As soon as I stepped inside, Ruffilo pulled me into a tight hug that almost crushed my bones.

"I was so worried, bro," he exclaimed, his worry now replaced with relief.

"Who was in the car?" Folio asked, peering out the window before quickly shutting the curtain.

"It's a long story," I groaned, collapsing onto the cot once more.

"I don't care about the story," Jolly interjected angrily. "What did you manage to steal?"

"Nothing," I admitted, cowering under their disappointed stares.

"You were gone for that long and came back empty-handed?" Folio said, his disappointment palpable.

"Is this some kind of joke?" Jolly laughed. "I thought you were over your little episode from earlier."

I sat up and looked at each of them in turn. "Trust me, I had a great haul. Until I got caught."

"You didn't," Ruffilo deadpanned.

"It's fine, she won't say anything," I reassured them, taking off my shoes.

"What? So now you trust some random girl who caught you breaking into her house? How desperate are you?" Jolly growled. "We're screwed."

"She drove you home too? Now she knows where we live? You idiot!" Folio yelled, running his fingers through his hair in frustration.

"What was in the haul?" Ruffilo asked curiously.

Sighing heavily, I mumbled into my hands, "Almost full bottles of Diazepam, Adderall, Zolpidem, and Dextromethorphan."

All three of them groaned in frustration.

"Dude, that's worth thousands of dollars!" Folio exclaimed. "You should go back and get it if you're all buddy-buddy with her now."

My glare could have killed me as I shot daggers at the youngest member of our group. "Fuck off. It's not going to happen."

"No, Nick has a point," Jolly chimed in. "That's a good haul. We could use the extra money right now."

"I said," I growled through gritted teeth, "It's not going to happen."

I stormed off towards the bathroom door and slammed it shut behind me. Leaning against the door, I let out a frustrated groan and ran my hands through my hair. My mind was conflicted and confused, unable to believe that this day was even real.

I turned the shower on, and stripped off my clothes, letting the water wash away my sins.

I can't forgive you, but I can't look away I walked through fire I was born in the flames

+++++

Y/N

As I climbed the stairs to my house, Juice followed close behind. A sigh of frustration escaped my lips as I tried to make sense of the events of the day. My confusion only increased when I saw a backpack sitting in front of my bedroom door, its contents shifting with each step I took. I couldn't resist the urge to investigate and opened the bag, revealing all of my prescription pill bottles inside. My heart raced as I stared at them, unsure if they had been intentionally left there or if he had planned to sell them for money. But with only four hours until I had to be at work, I pushed those thoughts aside and prioritized sleep over worrying about it.

+++++

As I worked that morning my mind was consumed with the events of last night, replaying over and over again in my head like a broken record. Was it lack of sleep, anxiety, or the intoxicating presence of Noah that kept me on edge? Annika noticed my restlessness and questioned me, but I brushed her concerns off with a forced smile and a lie about being tired.

Despite my rational thoughts telling me otherwise, my heart yearned for Noah. There was something about him that drew me in, despite his criminal lifestyle. He was unlike anyone I had ever met before.

Throughout the day, I found myself constantly glancing at the door, hoping to catch a glimpse of him walking in. But he never did.

It wasn't until half an hour before closing time that the familiar ding of the doorbell sounded, causing my heart to leap in anticipation. I turned around, hoping to see Noah's long hair and captivating silver eyes, but instead was greeted by another man with long locks and tattoos covering his arms. His onyx hair and striking silver eyes held a similar intensity to Noah's, but there was something different about him.

My thoughts immediately went back to Noah as this new man ordered the same coffee as him - one cream and one sugar. As he handed me the change, I couldn't help but notice the intricate tattoos adorning his knuckles. My hands trembled slightly as I handed him his cup, taking in the words etched above each finger: "Bad Omen" spelled out above a crescent moon design.

We locked eyes for a moment, a sense of understanding passing between us as I handed him his drink. Despite his similarities to Noah, this man seemed completely different - yet my mind kept going back to those piercing October eyes.

Can one of us be saved? Better in a grave

+++++

NOAH

"Does she know about the tattoo?" Nicholas asked as he handed me a cup of coffee. I adjusted my sunglasses while taking a sip, the warm liquid soothing my throat as I thought of her again. I had told her the truth when she asked, but now I regretted it. It would have been better if we had just gone our separate ways.

After my shower, I filled Ruffilo in on everything that had happened with Y/N. He always understood me and listened to me best, even though he was surprised by how things turned out.

"She seemed so hopeful when she turned around," Ruffilo said, shoving his hands into his jean pockets as we walked back to the motel. "I think she wanted me to be you."

"I don't understand why," I said.

"Because you're not a bad person. She can see through whatever walls you've put up. You two were interested in each other before last night because you went out," Nicholas sighed. "And the fact that she still seems interested after everything means two things -"

I gave him a questioning look, waiting for him to continue.

"- Either she's crazy, or she sees past your past because she gets it," Nicholas reassured me. And he was right. Y/N could understand certain aspects because she had just escaped from her own cage; but was I ready to risk everything to see her again? Was there a chance that she could forgive me?

Ruffilo glanced at his watch, "We need to hurry back. Jolly and Folio will be here in ten minutes to pick us up and we still need to meet with D to drop off the load."

I nodded, picking up the pace and taking another sip of my coffee. "Hopefully they made enough money to make up for yesterday's loss."

Nicholas patted my shoulder, "Don't beat yourself up too much brother. You almost got caught and managed to evade it."

"I did get caught, just not by the law," I corrected him.

"Okay, but you were caught by a beautiful woman instead. I'd say that's a win-win."

I playfully pushed his shoulder, brushing off his comment; but he was right. Y/N was gorgeous.

We reached the motel and saw Jolly and Folio loading bags of cash into the car.

"Did we make a good haul?" Ruffilo asked as he lit a cigarette. We walked over to them and I eyed the bags; there seemed to be an excessive amount of money.

Folio nodded, "We made enough to cover last night's loss and then some. Looks like we'll be dining well tonight!" He clapped his hands together before tapping them on the hood of the car, exuding excitement.

I questioned with caution, “How did you manage to get all of this in just a couple of hours?” Jolly lit a cigarette and jumped into the front seat. We followed suit, but I rolled down the window to avoid the smoke from filling the car. I could handle smoking joints, but cigarettes burned my throat.

Jolly explained, “We robbed a convenience store off of 9th Ave. It was the quickest way to get the cash we needed.”

Skeptical, I narrowed my eyes and watched him through the rearview mirror, “Aren’t you the one who always says we should avoid businesses because it’s too risky?”

Jolly scoffed, “Yeah, but I do it well. So I don’t mind taking that risk, especially since we were thousands behind.”

I muttered, “Whatever,” and looked out the window. The meeting with D today was crucial; it would determine if we could finally get out of this mess.

The ride was silent until we arrived at the abandoned warehouse by the pier. Dread washed over me as our car was surrounded by men in black masks, guns hanging from their arms.

“Out with your hands up,” a masked guard commanded from outside the car in a muffled voice.

We complied, used to this standard procedure.

D’s familiar booming voice echoed from down the pier, sending shivers down my spine as his shadow approached us under the moonlight. His silver blonde hair glinted in the moonlight as he towered over us, taunting us like prey.

“What have you brought me this month?” he asked eagerly.

“We have about thirteen thousand,” Jolly reported as the guards searched our car and opened up the duffle bags.

D’s eyes flicked between us sharply and scanned the crowd as if looking for any discrepancies. He clicked his tongue disapprovingly.

“I recall agreeing upon fifteen thousand this month,” he remarked.

Jolly almost lunged at him, but he kept his composure and clenched his fists, “No, we agreed on twelve. And you should consider yourself lucky we even managed to get the extra thousand instead of keeping it for ourselves.”

D chuckled darkly, his teeth twisting into an evil grin, “Oh, I’m lucky, am I?”

He walked closer, arms crossed behind his back in a display of power, “I would say you should be lucky that I’m willing to let you get away with this, for a price.”

“We did what you asked,” Jolly growled, “We shook on twelve.”

D smiled smugly and raised a questioning brow, “Yet you brought thirteen.”

Jolly remained silent and the rest of us watched as D strutted between our bodies like a predator encasing its prey in its trap once again.

“I expect twenty thousand next month. Clearly, you are capable of bringing in more,” he stated firmly.

My eyes widened in shock and I turned to the boys for confirmation.

“Twenty?” I exclaimed incredulously, my eyebrows shooting up in disbelief, “How the fuck are we supposed to get twenty? You keep raising the price and we’re getting closer and closer to getting caught every day.”

D cackled cunningly, “If it weren’t for you young Noah, we wouldn’t be in this situation. So maybe it’s time for you to step up and find other ways to earn money.”

Ruffilo pleaded, “But we can’t get twenty.”

“Let’s make it twenty-four then,” D clapped his hands together with a sickening smile on his face, making me want to punch it off.

“Twenty is fine.” Jolly clenched his jaw, struggling to keep a pleasant expression on his face. D sauntered over and clapped him on the back, but Jolly flinched away from the false camaraderie.

"That's my boy," D said with fake enthusiasm. "But I have some good news for you."

My ears perked up at the mention of good news.

"Your debt will be paid off next month. This twenty grand will cover everything."

I had to hold back from cheering out loud, but when I glanced at Ruffilo, we shared a silent moment of celebration. Could it be true? Just twenty thousand dollars more and we would finally be free?

D's tone turned sly as he continued, stepping closer to me until our chests were almost touching.

"There is one condition though," he said with a sneaky smile. "Noah is the only one who can pay me back. No help from anyone else. It has to be Noah's work."

+++++

As soon as we got into the car, tears of anger streamed down my face. This had to be a dream. Why the fuck couldn’t I wake up.

“The four of you will wear trackers. That way I know Noah’s alone when he gets the cash, and brings it to me at the end of each week.”

The boys remained silent the whole way, Nicholas giving me sympathetic glances every so often.

“One final test to see if you’ve really learned your lesson, pretty boy.”

I punched the headrest in front of me, anger seeping through my veins. Pretty boy.

“I think we could all use a drink.” Jolly sighed, turning the car into the parking lot of a local bar. Sammy’s.

The boys got out of the car and I lingered there for a moment, squeezing my eyes shut as my chest rose and fell with heavy breaths. Fuck this. Fuck everything. Life was a literal bad omen.

I opened the door, slamming it forcefully as I pulled my hood over my head, following the boys into the bar. I avoided the crowd, sliding into the booth Jolly led us to, leaning into the wall.

“What do you want Noah?” Ruffilo asked.

“Tequila,” I mumbled, rubbing my eyes. At least that would numb the pain for a bit, “Hennesey.”

“Shouldn’t mix that but ok,” Ruffilo said, standing up to grab the drinks; as he turned he hesitated, “Uh, Noah-”

I raised my head to meet his gaze, pulling back my hood in curiosity before shifting my attention to the woman standing behind him at the counter. Y/N was there, dressed in a tight black tank top that hugged her figure, paired with short shorts that barely covered her hips. The fanny pack slung around her waist and name tag completed the look, but I couldn’t believe this was the other job she had.

We locked eyes as I stared at her in surprise, feeling my cheeks flush as she pushed back her hair and gave me a smile that lit up her kind, pleading eyes.

"He's right," Ruffilo said with astonishment, shaking his head at the sight of us. "There's some sort of connection between you two."

"That's Y/N?" Folio whistled lowly, ogling the woman as she chatted with a customer now, glancing over every few seconds.

"How do you know about her?" I muttered through gritted teeth, leaning towards him in a hushed tone before looking over at Nicholas. "Did you tell them?"

"They needed to know," Ruffilo responded defensively, shrugging his shoulders before walking over to the bar.

"She's stunning, no doubt about it." Jolly grinned approvingly, his eyes still fixed on Y/N as she talked with Ruffilo, occasionally glancing back at me.

I couldn't help but keep stealing glances at her until my cheeks burned and I had to turn away. Her gaze felt like it was scorching holes into my skin. "So, now what?" I asked, raking my fingers through my hair and anxiously twisting the ends.

"Just go say hi, you idiot," Folio exclaimed as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "You guys are clearly checking each other out, so just go do it over there."

I let out a sigh and forced myself out of the booth. As I walked towards Ruffilo and Y/N, her face lit up with excitement.

"Why do you keep following me?" I teased, taking a seat on the stool in front of the counter. Nicholas pushed a tequila shot and a cup of hennesey towards me.

I downed the liquor in one gulp, relishing the burn as it travelled down my throat, savouring the taste of ignorance.

"I'm surprised to see you here," Y/N laughed softly, taking the empty glass from me. "But at the same time, I'm not really surprised at all."

"Something keeps bringing us back together," I chuckled, downing another shot of the brown liquor as its fiery warmth danced across my tastebuds. "I have a feeling that I'm meant to get to know you."

Ruffilo left with three beers, leaving Y/N and I alone. She absentmindedly played with her hair again, tucking it behind her ear. "It's pretty strange," she commented with a small smile.

I nodded, “Can I get two more shots?”

Y/N raised a brow but lined up the glasses, pouring the liquor into them. I downed it again, sighing heavily.

“You got your friend to get your coffee this evening?” Y/N asked now, colour rising to her face as she warmed, almost like she was embarrassed at noticing my lack of presence.

“I’m surprised you’re talking to me after finding what was in my bag.” I laughed, my vision starting to blur. It’s been a while since I’ve drank, and my tolerance must have lowered.

She poured me another, as If I had asked with my eyes, and smiled gently, “You didn’t take it back with you though. You left it behind.”

Not sure it was quite on purpose, but I’m glad she thinks so.

“Those guys are your gang?” She nodded her head towards Jolly, Folio, and Ruffilo. I turned, and they immediately looked away, pretending they weren’t watching our entire interaction unfold. My ears began ringing as the alcohol consumed me, the song playing above us getting louder.

I carry your heart around Like a child that has just been born I try not to let you down And I try not to show my thorns

“Those are my brothers.” I nodded, resting my head on the wooden counter, and closing my eyes in defeat.

“Noah… are you ok?” Y/N placed her hand gently on my own, and my body warmed.

You can run but cannot hide If we fail, then at least I tried To save your soul from becoming hurt and scared

“Yes,” I whispered, lying through my lips.

Y/N came around the counter, reaching for me full of compassion. She hugged me again and I leaned into her touch.

I pretend that things are alright I can comfort you and hold you tight

She saw right through my lies. "I can take my break now. Want to talk about it?" I sat up, trying to focus on her through my blurry vision and the buzz of alcohol in my system. Standing up unsteadily, I took hold of her wrist and pulled her with me towards the restrooms. "Noah," she whispered as we turned the corner, out of sight from anyone else.

To love you feels like Walking on broken glass

I was fully aware that I didn't deserve someone like Y/N in my life. The way she treated me with kindness and compassion, a stranger or, as she put it, a level two acquaintance, left me amazed. But deep down, I knew that she was meant to be a part of my life in some way. Fate had brought us together, even if it was only for a short time. As I pulled her close to me, wrapping my arms around her, I couldn't help but hold onto her as tightly as possible. Her warmth enveloped me and I savoured every moment of her touch against my hands, which often showed no mercy.

"Why do I feel like I can tell you anything?" Y/N peered back up at me through her lashes and rested her head on my chest.

"Why do I trust you?" She laughed softly, holding onto me tightly.

Running my hands gently over her back, my nails grazing her smooth skin. "I guess it's because I fit your type."

Her laughter filled the hall again as she smiled up at me. "Oh, right, of course."

"But seriously," I said, swaying with her in my arms. "There must be some reason why we were drawn to each other."

"Maybe," she replied.

"There's no other explanation," I stuttered, feeling the alcohol start to take over. All I could focus on was the warmth of her body against mine and the racing of my heart. My hand travelled up her arm and cupped her chin, lifting her face to meet mine.

Will you carry my heart around When it's old and grey? Will you stay until we fade away?

Our gazes locked, and I couldn't resist leaning down towards her. Our lips met in a soft brush, but I couldn't stop myself from deepening the kiss. It was a bad idea, but at that moment, I didn't care. Y/N stood on tiptoe, returning my kiss with equal fervour. My hands instinctively held her close to me as my heart raced with desire.

I kissed her hungrily, my mind filled with a thousand steamy images. Was it because of the alcohol or my lack of physical intimacy lately, or was it simply because it was Y/N? My hands slid down to her thighs, eagerly exploring her skin before slipping under the hem of her shorts.

“Noah,” she gasped, breaking away from our embrace.

“Bathroom,” I whispered huskily, urging her towards the door. As soon as we were inside, I locked the door and lifted her onto the bathroom counter. The invitation was clear as I positioned myself between her legs.

Her fingers tangled in my hair, pulling me closer as our lips met. I couldn't help but smile against her mouth, unsure of where this was heading but only focused on the desire to take her right here, right now.

"I want to take you against this counter," I murmured.

She moaned in response but then pulled away with hesitation. "I don't know if this is a good idea-" she started to say, but I tugged at her belt loop and pressed my body against hers.

"Just one night," I whispered, my forehead resting against hers as we both caught our breath from the intense kiss. "One night to feel anything but pain."

Y/N's gaze locked with mine before she closed her eyes and nodded, pulling me back in for more kisses. The anticipation and excitement coursed through my veins, making me even harder with each passing second.

I pushed her shorts down, revealing her underwear as she sat on the counter. A primal groan escaped my throat as I watched her spread her legs just for me.

This was all so messed up, yet in this moment, it didn't matter.

My hands trailed across her skin, slipping into her panties and tracing her slick folds with my fingers. My body ached to replace them with my own heat, longing for her touch.

But for now, I kissed her again while my fingers explored inside of her, causing Y/N to gasp and shiver with pleasure. My thumb danced along her core, teasing and building up her desire as we lost ourselves in each other's bodies.

Desire consumed me as I pulled back, asking for consent. Y/N's hooded eyes watched intently as she nodded eagerly, urging me on.

"Please, Noah," she pleaded, positioning herself at the counter's edge. I spat into my hand and Y/N followed my movements with rapt attention as I prepared myself before entering her. We locked eyes again and she gave a nod of approval before I slid inside, my body immediately trembling in response to her movements. I let out a deep sigh and closed my eyes briefly as Y/N's warmth enveloped me.

I will never forget the day Our souls became one And I know there's a secret We've been Swallowing Lying so passionately

Her brow furrowed as she focused on the feeling of my body inside hers, letting out soft gasps as I moved my hips against hers. From my intoxicated state, I observed her closely, trying to decipher her expressions. As she tightened around me and moaned, I held onto her thighs with my nails digging into her skin. In that moment, I remembered a similar experience in her bedroom earlier that night.

"Don't make a sound," I warned, covering her mouth with my hand. Her eyes widened before becoming hooded again, clearly infatuated with me. "I wouldn't want you to get fired."

Y/N looked like she wanted to protest, the enticing noises begging to escape from her throat. My body was overcome with pleasure, the sensation of being with her intense and passionate. My forehead wrinkled as I struggled to keep going, knowing that I was close to climaxing. Unfortunately, alcohol didn't exactly improve my endurance.

Her soft plea filled my ear as I held her hand firmly in mine. My body responded to her words, and I gripped her hips tightly as I thrust into her, letting the pleasure take over and numb any lingering depression. With each forceful movement, I found release and pulled out of her to finish stroking myself, spilling onto her stomach.

My breaths came out heavy as I knelt down and trailed kisses up Y/N's thigh. She watched me with confusion in her eyes.

"What are you doing?" she asked but spread her legs wider.

"It's your turn now, princess," I replied, reaching for her core and pulling her towards my mouth. I started sucking on her delicate skin, causing Y/N to cover her mouth with one hand and tangle the other into my hair as she rocked against my face.

I savoured the taste of her body, hoping deep down that it was meant to be mine.

"Fuck, Noah," she moaned, throwing her head back against the mirror as she rode the wave of pleasure. Her eyebrows were furrowed in ecstasy.

"Don't stop," she begged, and I didn't. I gave her everything I had.

"Come for me, Y/N," I said between licks and squeezes of her hips. "Be a good girl for me."

As her legs started to tremble and her mouth opened in a silent scream, she reached the peak of her climax. I continued until she pushed me away, her breathing becoming shallow as she caught her breath. I took hold of her chin and brought her lips to mine, yearning for her to taste herself on my tongue.

Life had broken her; just as it had broken him. But when they got together, their pieces became whole. And they started on their journey, together, mended as one. - Steve Maraboli

Morning Routine - Victor x Reader (Ikemen Villains)

A/N: My first time writing Victor - eeek!

Pairing: Victor x Reader

Prompt: recent gacha card

Tags: NSFW; Minors - DNI; suggestive situations

“Could you hand that to me?”

You followed Victor’s guiding gaze towards the purple ribbon laying on the bathroom vanity. Silently, you picked it up and handed it to him, as he had asked. His fingertips brushed yours in the exchange; his gentle touch sending tingles through your body.

Quickly retreating, you returned to your spot against the wall where you so often watched Victor perform his morning routine. You had come to visit him so often in the morning, that it had become your routine to watch him in the morning.

You looked on with lidded eyes as Victor took the length of ribbon between his teeth, his hands working in tandem to tame his long tresses. Pressing your body against the cold wall, it did little to cool your heated core.

Loose locks fell to one side, curtaining his face, his jeweled gaze intense as he stared into the mirror as he swept his long strands into a ponytail. Your lips parted as you watched him tame his hair, hair that you so wanted to run your fingers through and feel his long, silky strands against your skin. Hair that you wanted to wrap around your fingers and give a gentle tug.

Do you want to touch it? You could hear his voice in your head, a soft, sensual purr teasing you with his wicked smirk.

Knees weakening, your body slid down against the hard tile of the bathroom walls. Your hand, resting on your belly, resisted the urge to inch down and touch yourself. Instead, you imagined the face that Victor might make if your body was atop his, your knees straddling his hips and you were to tug on his hair. A soft sigh escaped your lips. A sigh so soft, you didn’t even realize you had made the sound.

That was, until Victor called your name.

Snapping out of your reverie, your body straightened like an arrow as you attempted to regain some form of composure. You offered him a small smile, hoping this would keep your thoughts hidden.

“After you,” he said, opening the door, his arm extended in a flourish, waiting for you to exit first. Embers burned in your belly, their fire not yet extinguished.

And that was okay. Because as Victor had his morning routine, you had your evening routine where Victor came to visit you.

And lived out your morning fantasies.

Zayne: Morning Afterglow

Pairings: Zayne x OC

Genre: Smut ❗nsfw 18+, mdni

A/N: This is my first time doing smut.

⋆*̣̥☆·͙̥‧❄•̥̩̥͙‧·‧̩̥‧̩̥·‧•̥̩̥͙‧·‧̩̥˟͙☃˟͙‧̩̥·‧•̥̩̥͙‧·‧̩̥•̥̩̥͙‧·‧̩̥❄‧·͙̥̣☆*̣̥ ⋆

"Mmmm..."

The moan escaped her lips. She closed her eyes and bit her lip, but the sound had already left her mouth.

She hoped the sound of the shower would muffle her voice. It was risky to do this. It was wrong and dirty to do it in the shower at his place. She felt bad and guilty. He would be home any time soon.

But the pleasure was too good to ignore.

"Oh, fuck..."

Her hand moved faster. She rubbed her clit with her fingers. She imagined him touching her. His hands were rough, yet gentle. He would know how to please her. He would know where to touch her. He would make her moan.

"Ohhh, Zayne..."

She moaned his name. She couldn't help it. She needed him. She is craving for him. Her mind was foggy. Her body was on fire.

"Mmmm..."

The moan escaped her lips. Her breathing quickened. Her legs trembled.

"Zayne, I need you..." Her soft cry followed. She arched her back, her hand reaching down to where the pleasure was building. Her fingers danced, and her mind filled with the image of his face and body. She couldn't help herself. She was too aroused and needy.

Her body was screaming for him. She wanted to feel him inside her. She wanted him to thrust himself into her, over and over, until she couldn't take it anymore. She wanted him to fill her up with his hot seed and make her scream his name.

But there was no one there. Only the sound of the shower could be heard, and her own moans and groans. She was alone, touching herself, imagining his hands on her.

It was dirty, and she knew it. But it felt so good. She couldn't stop herself. She couldn't resist the temptation.

As her fingers worked faster and faster, her mind drifted away. She could see him standing in front of her, his eyes filled with lust. She could feel his hands on her breasts, his lips on her neck, his cock inside her.

"Oh, Zayne..."

She moaned his name again. She wanted him to touch her, to make her feel good. She wanted him to fuck her hard and fast.

As her fingers moved faster and faster, her breathing quickened. Her legs trembled. Her body was on fire.

"Yes... please, baby..."

It was dangerous to call him that, but the name had escaped her mouth.

"Please, Zayne... yes, baby..."

But she had to have it.

The pleasure. The ecstasy. The bliss.

She was so close. She could feel it. Her body was trembling, her heart racing, her skin hot. She needed him. She needed him so badly. She couldn't stop herself.

"Yes... Yes, please..."

Her breath hitched. Her heart pounded. The pleasure was so intense.

"Please... Zayne, I need it..."

"Need what?"

Skye's eyes shot open.

Her breath caught in her throat.

There he was.

She gasped, her hands quickly moving away from her body. She turned around, her eyes wide with panic.

He stood in the bathroom doorway, his muscular body leaning against the frame. His arms were folded. His eyes moved up and down her body. Skye couldn't figure out his emotions. He wasn't smiling, or frowning. He didn't seem mad, or angry.

"Zayne!" She gasped, covering herself with her arms. "What are you doing here?!"

Skye quickly hid her body behind the shower curtain. She was still breathing heavily and her heart was pounding really loud. She was sure he could hear it.

She couldn't believe it.

This couldn't be happening.

She had been so close. So close.

And now...

She was so embarrassed.

Zayne had caught her masturbating in his shower.

He stood there, watching her, as she tried to hide her body. She is mortified. She had never been so embarrassed in her life. She wanted to crawl into a hole and hide.

Zayne hadn't said anything. He just stood there. Hiis eyes moving up and down her body. Skye couldn't read his emotions.

"I thought you weren't getting enough sleep. It's too early for you to be up", he said. His tone was completely neutral. He then walked towards her.

"Uhm, I uh- I got up early. I thought I could go to the store and grab some things for breakfast and return before you are. After I shower.", she mumbled.

She couldn't look at him.

Zayne's neutral face breaks and he smiles. He then says almost sarcastically, "I see that you got a very exciting start to your day." He chuckles. He then looks down at his watch for a second and then up at her again.

"You're not going to the store now, are you?", he asks.

She shakes her head. She's not sure what else to say.

"Ahh -- you've gone out of your hospital shift early." She tried to change the subject.

Zayne looks at her with an amused grin on his face. He stands there for a moment, enjoying the view of her flushed face and exposed body. He finally speaks up, seeming a bit teasing as well.

"So, are you done with the shower?"

He was now looking directly at her face. She was still mortified, but the embarrassment was starting to fade. She nodded, unable to speak.

Zayne's gaze lingers on her as his teasing smile slowly turns into a more genuine one. He walks over to Skye and gently takes her arm in his hand. She pulled her in so that their bodies are close together. His fingers started caressing her skin. His thumb traced along her jawline.

Skye felt her cheeks grow warm. Her breath caught in her throat. Her body began to tingle with anticipation.

"Mm, you seem to be blushing quite a lot.." Zayne comments as his gaze is now locked to her face. He stares at her for a brief moment as a smirk slowly begins to form. A smirk that was quite familiar to Skye. It was the same one he would do anytime he was about to tease or annoy her.

"But I see that you had quite a... rather busy morning." Zayne chuckled, his thumb gently tracing her jawline. He savored the sight of her cheeks flushing, taking his time to enjoy it. "Are your fingers getting ahead of yourself?"

She gulped. Her cheeks grew even warmer, her heartbeat quickening.

She felt like she was going to explode. Her body was trembling, her core growing hotter by the second. Her breathing grew heavy.

Zayne could see the way her chest began to rise and fall heavily. He noticed she was trying to hide her blush and that her body was trembling slightly under his touch.

"Someone seems so... hot" Zayne teased gently, his thumb slowly brushing across her bottom lip. His eyes were staring straight into hers. "And I'm guessing the cold shower isn't helping?"

Skye swallowed hard, trying not to let her voice shake.

"N-no." She managed to stutter.

Zayne chuckled lightly, a wicked gleam flashing across his eyes. "Well, you better be careful. We don't want you fainting in the shower, do we?"

He leaned closer to her, his lips brushing against hers. His warm breath and masculine perfume filled her nostrils as she became overwhelmed with sensations. Their bodies were still standing under the shower.The lust was building up between them.

Zayne's rough fingers moved down her body, trailing his fingers over her skin and her curves. His hand reached down to her waist. He squeezed gently, sending a jolt of electricity through her body.

Skye whimpered softly, her hips instinctively bucking forward.

Zayne smiled softly as he felt her body press up against him. His hands were tightening on her hips as he pushed himself against her. His breath quickened from the arousal. His own body trembling as he felt her body pressed up against his.

Skye's heart began racing even faster as her body reacted instinctively. Her breathing grew heavier and her mind raced as the adrenaline coursed through her veins.

His lips moved down, kissing her neck. He then continued teasingly running his lips down to her collarbone, then moving them back up again to her ear.

Skye moaned, her hands gripping the shower curtain .

"Mmmm..."

She closed her eyes, biting her bottom lip.

His lips are now trailing down her neck, causing her breath to hitch and her body to shiver with every touch.

His mouth is moving slowly, taking its time. His tongue moves against her skin, licking and teasing her. His teeth grazed against her chest, sending a shiver of pleasure throughout her entire body.

She moaned loudly, arching her back and pushing her chest into his. Her nipples hardened instantly.

Zayne smiled to himself, enjoying her reactions.

Zayne moaned softly at her response to his touch.The warmth of her skin drew a soft, involuntary groan from him. His fingers tightened on her hip. His other hand gripped her breast as he gently kneaded it. His fingertips circled her nipple, causing her to arch her back more. Her breath became sharp and shallow.

She gasped, her eyes fluttering open.

Zayne chuckled, his hands gripping her waist even more as his body pressed against her.

"Oh god, Zayne..."

"Shhh..." Zayne breathed, taking a moment to let the overwhelming sensation consume him as he bit his lower lip at the sound of her voice.

His hands gripped her more tightly. The muscles in his arms and chest tense as the heat of her skin radiated against his body. His fingers tightened on her nipple, his mouth moving back to her neck.His lips softly kissed and sucked on her sensitive flesh. But then, his teeth suddenly bit it down, sending a surge of pain through her.

She cried out, a flash of shock and desire rushing through her body.

Zayne smiled to himself as he heard her cry. This reaction was exactly what he wanted, the rush of pleasure and pain that flooded her and him. He kept his teeth nipped at her sensitive skin, feeling her body react to his. One of his hands continued squeezing her breast as he moved his free hand to her soft thighs.

His lips moved back to her mouth.His tongue flicked her lips, teasing her, before slipping inside her..

Skye groaned as her tongue met his, swirling together in a passionate embrace.

"Zayne..." She gasped as she felt his fingers stroked her inner thigh, brushing past her folds. She moaned, her back arching involuntarily.

His fingers traced her thigh softly, feeling almost like butterfly kisses.He gently stroked and teased her as he continued kissing her deeply.

"Mm..." Zayne's breath quickened. His fingers kept moving, trailing down her inner thigh, teasingly close to her fold before moving away. His other hand moved to her ass, grabbing and squeezing it.

Skye moaned, her head falling back, her eyes rolling back. Her hands gripped his shoulders tightly.

"You're driving me crazy."

Zayne murmured, his lips moving back to her neck, licking and nibbling.

His mouth moved to her ear, whispering hotly, "I'm gonna fuck you right here, right now."

"Oh god, yes.." Skye whispered, her voice trembling as she felt his erection pressing against her.

"Turn around. And lean forward."

She quickly did as he instructed. She heard him unzipping his pants. The sound of the condom being unwrapped. She gulped. Zayne then positioned himself behind her. His fingers ran through her hair, tugging lightly.

"I'm going to take you right here, right now." He said, his voice deep and husky.

"Yes, please..."

His hands slid down her back. She let out a breathy moan

"Mmmm."

He moved his cock closer, his fingers reaching around to grip her hips tightly. He then continued rubbing his erection against her, coating her with his precum.

"Oh fuck.." Skye moaned, her hands clenching and her body trembling.

Zayne moved his hands from her hips and began stroking his length. His breathing quickened.

He pressed the tip of his cock against her entrance, his hands gripping her tightly.

"Please..." Skye whimpered, her eyes rolling back.

"Oh, god.."

Zayne's voice was deep and raspy, filled with lust.

"Fuck, baby."

His grip on her tightened as he pushed forward.

"Zayne!" The sensation was so intense. There wasn’t a feeling she didn’t feel. His every movement made her heart race. It made her body groan. She was so turned on as she trembled, arching her back and letting out a few more moans. “Oh god... Zayne.” she breathed out as her legs trembled more.

His thrusts are slow and deliberate, filling her up completely. He moaned as his body moved against hers. His lips trailing up on her shoulder unto her nape.

"Fuck.." He whispered into her ear.

His body began to tremble as well, his hands gripping her tighter.

He could feel her walls clench around him. His moans turned into groans and he bit down hard on her shoulder.

His hands slid from her hips down to her thighs.

"Mmm.." Skye moaned..

"You're so fucking tight."

"Oh god, I'm gonna cum, Zayne."

Her moans increased in volume. Her body began to tremble uncontrollably. He groaned loudly, as he felt his head spinning and his breathing became heavy.

Zayne's face contorted with desire as he continued his relentless pace. He savored every moan and twitch from Skye. Feeling her walls clenching around him signaling the impending climax for both of them.

"I'm gonna cum!" Skye moaned, her whole body shaking as the orgasm ripped through her.

"I'm gonna cum, too..."

Zayne grunted, his hips slamming against hers as he shot his seed deep inside her. Skye's body tense and shudders beneath him. His cock twitched inside her, pulsing with warmth and life as he emptied himself into her welcoming depths. The force of his orgasm made his vision blur briefly..

They were both panting, their bodies slick with sweat. Zayne leaned over her, his chest pressed against her back. His forehead rested on her shoulder. Skye gasped for air. Her body was still trembling from the intense pleasure. She felt lightheaded, her pulse pounding in her ears.

She closed her eyes, trying to catch her breath. She could feel her heart beating rapidly. She could smell the sex on her skin. She straightened up from her position and looked at him. He was just as disheveled as she was. His hair was damp and matted with sweat. His eyes were half-closed and glazed over. His mouth was open. His breath ragged.

Zayne leaned into her and kissed her passionately. His tongue slipped between her lips and brushed against hers. She moaned into his mouth.

Then, they broke apart and stared at each other. Zayne's breathing had slowed down a bit. His gaze was intense.

Skye looked away, her cheeks flushed.

Zayne reached over and cupped her cheek. His thumb caressed her jawline. His fingers brushed her earlobe.

"Are you okay?" He whispered.

Skye nodded, her eyes still averted.

Zayne's hand moved down her face, resting on her throat. He placed his lips on hers, kissing her gently.

He pulled away from her, smiling softly.

"I hope that you are hungry. Let's get cleaned up. We'll talk after breakfast."

Backstory for my character for a modern Death House game of D&D where my character has Alcor the Dreambender as their warlock patron.

Morgan Helsmoortal grew up playing baseball with their military father and learning guitar from their conservative mother.

They always liked the occult growing up, especially different runes and spell circles. Their parents did not approve, so they hid this from them. This was not the only thing they were hiding from them.

The day they graduated high school they packed grab bags filled with some fruit jerky, nuts, water, clothes, their phone with a new SIM card, their guitar and their laptop. They set the bags with their bike and helmet at the end of the driveway d then told their parents that they were non-binary. In his fury as they were walking away, their father threw the baseball bat he had bought them for their birthday at them.

They kept the bat.

They train hopped for a little while, going from city to city, busking until they landed in the outskirts of a cozy little town.

They found an abandoned shack in the woods, sturdy, sealed enough from the elements that they won’t die and there’s a fire place that has a stove top.

They rode their bike into town, and picked up odd jobs to be able to afford a PO Box and a phone bill. They are super tall and pale and dress mostly in black, so some local kids have taken to calling them “Slendy” after Slenderman. They started working part-time at a coffee shop by the local community college who recently got a boost from the local theater. They get a deal through work to take a class in sound design and then decide to make a podcast about the occult.

They make it like they’re a tavern keep after-hours telling the stories of adventurers who came through their tavern as they stoke the main fire in the tavern hall.

While doing research on an entity of knowledge specifically on the occult they dropped some of their research notes and a bag of gummy worms onto a summoning circle they had drawn on the floor.

In a burst of bright blue light, Alcott the Dreambender emerges. He takes one look at the shocked face of Morgan, then at their surroundings (the dingy shack, thin camping cot tucked in a corner as Morgan sat their entire 6’10” frame on a five gallon bucket with a pillow on it, empty energy drink cans scattered about) and decides, nope.

“NOPE no way in hell is someone strong enough to pull me from my home dimension going to live like THIS. Give me three days. You can keep the notes, but I’m taking these gummy worms.” And then disappears.

On the third day, when they get back to the shack after a shift at the coffee shop, Morgan comes back to the place with two cords of wood outside, electricity, and running water in the formerly decrepit bathroom. There’s two comfy-looking chairs and a TV with what looks like a Boku box hooked up to it and a couple board games on the shelves under it. A book shelf with all the books and journals Alcor found scattered around the shack. Two small tv tray tables and what looks like a salvaged countertop in the corner with a microwave, some coffee mugs, a box of tea and Morgan’s mess kit on it. Behind a thick curtain that held the side of the room with the fire place, the piece de resistance, a bed with an actual frame that fits their full height with a super comfy looking new blanket and two new pillows on it.

Morgan stepped inside and was startled by Alcor appearing right behind them.

“So, what do you think? It’s the best I could do with the time I had. Honestly with a little more push I could probably get you ownership of the land too. My mojo seems to work a bit different here, but I still have a few tricks up my sleeve. By the way, what was your name again?”

Morgan stared at him, eye level with them because he was *floating*. “Hello, my name is Morgan Helsmoortal, they/them. I never found your name or title in anything I had translated yet, how should I address you?” They spoke formally, so as not to give the unknown and powerful entity and grip upon them.

Alcor smiled a fanged smile. “Oh I like you, know the rules of magic do ya Slendy? Well you may call me Alcor, my title is Dreambender and I believe my classification is that of a deity of knowledge, specifically on arcane magics. I usually stay in my home dimension, so most of the magic here I am unfamiliar with.” He took a moment before straightening himself out and settling on the floor. “I would like to make a deal.”

Morgan crossed their arms and leaned most of their weight on their back foot. “I’m listening.”

“I would like to read through all of your currently accumulated research and have journals provided for me to make notes myself and also for you to find me rare grimoires, tomes and scrolls for me to research and read, and as long as you do that, I will give you the ability to do magic.” He paused for a breath. “I would also like to hang out with you and maybe research with you. In return for that, I will tell you some of my story.” He said in a softer voice.

Morgan took a moment to look at the entity before them and then immediately stuck their hand out to shake. “I agree to both deals. It would be nice to have a friend for a change.” Alcor smiled an understanding smile and then stuck his flaming blue hand out.

“This is the start of a beautiful friendship.”

Alcor forgets time at one point and doesn’t check in for six months and somehow in that time, Morgan has found themselves in Barovia picking up on a lead about some occult artifacts.

I did rewrite some of the original backstory, but I feel that it fits better this way. I also have Alcor as a Seeker patron from UA material because I felt it fit better from what I’ve read of him and how he was as Dipper as well. In the original I had it so Alcor had personal beef with Strahd and so when he found out in game that Morgan was in Barovia he flips his shit and then asks them to collect a book he left there the last time they played chess together.

Fox Claws

Chapter 2

The giggling eventually died down from the two, although Kit still had a hard time keeping her snickers contained once the newcomer entered the kitchen. The sight was quite comical really. A smaller man had entered placing a palm flat on the door frame, and the rain that persisted outside had not resisted in pelting the stranger. Long black hair hung in front of their eyes like a curtain in a theater, which was odd for the man in question who usually wore it braided or in a low bun. The silence in the kitchen only grew more severe as moments ticked by, the droplets of water hitting the floor seeming to echo through the whole house.

After what felt like many minutes, the man standing in the doorway finally made a move. Attempting to regain some form of dignity, he attempted to blow some of the bangs covering his eyes out of his face; only moving a few strands of hair and producing a raspberry before getting smacked in the face by his hair again.

In an attempt to contain herself, Kit covered her mouth as her shoulders bounced giving away her quiet chuckles. A playful growl left the smaller man before Daniel burst out laughing again, resulting in both Kit and the man to laugh as well.

"Ya know, for someone who always complains about his hair getting in the way, you sure haven't made an attempt at cutting it any shorter, Cole." Daniel managed to wheeze out between chortles.

Cole lifted his head slightly before walking further into the kitchen, a fire burning his golden eyes as he neared the two.

Once Cole had walked into the center of the kitchen and stood between the other two, a wolfish smirk could barely be seen through the black curtain of his hair.

"Cole...don't you fucking dare.." Kit growled out in a serious tone.

Cole then hunched forward a bit before shaking his hair out, flinging water onto the other two in the process.

"Gah!" Kit shouted and held her hands up in hopes of shielding herself from the onslaught of water, but to no avail.

Once Cole deemed the two were soaked through enough, he stopped before flipping his hair back and slicking it with his hand out of habit. A smirk crossed his face before he spoke.

"What do we got for grub?"

Not allowing Kit to answer he started making his way to the fridge before half disappearing into the said appliance. A small huff left Kit before she made a gesture to Cole, Daniel hiding a small smile whilst his eyes held annoyance.

"Excuse you sir, we were in the middle of making dinner for tonight but someone walked in and got us soaked!"

If Cole was still in his wolf form, Kit knew she would have seen his ears perk a bit at that but since he was human at the moment no such action could be noted. After rummaging for a couple more moments, Cole had decided that nothing in the fridge interested him; standing back up before bumping the fridge closed with his hip. Turning to the other two occupants, he was met with glares from both of them.

"Cole...you know damn well what the rules of this house are. Go get the mop and clean up the mess you made, and once you're done you are to go to the library and wait before dinner. You have lost kitchen privileges for the rest of the night." Daniel gave a low growl as he gave the orders to Cole, Cole giving an annoyed growl and huff in return, heading to leave the kitchen and get the mop.

A soft sigh left Daniel before looking at Kit.

"I don't know about you, but I'm going to change."

Kit gave a small nod, before trailing after Daniel as they both headed up the stairs. Parting ways at the beginning of the hall, Kit quickly slipped into her room before making her way to the attached bathroom. Giving herself a once over in the mirror before plugging her blow dryer in and drying her hair a bit, not being able to resist turning the dryer onto her shirt and pants to get a little warmer as well.

Leaving the bathroom a little later, Kit started towards her door again but stopped just before she left to snag her phone off its charger. Scrolling through her phone as she made her way down the stairs before clicking on of the many playlists she had saved on her phone. Entering the kitchen, a small smile crossed her face seeing Cole mopping up the floor. It wasn't everyday that she would witness this miracle. Not being able to resist the urge, she pulled up her camera and snapped a picture of Cole with his back turned.

Finally stepping into the kitchen, Cole decided to speak up.

"I was wondering if you were ever going to actually come in or just stand there staring the whole time."

Kit chuckled a little at his teasing, going back to making dinner as she had been before he had first come home.

"Well, it's not everyday I see you cleaning. Gotta save the memory somehow." A glint of mischief flashed across her eyes as she looked at him over her shoulder.

A scoff left Cole as he met her eyes.

"Please, I do plenty of cleaning. You're just never around to see it. And you know if you ever want a photo of me you can just ask."

A teasing smirk crossed Cole's face as Kit just rolled her eyes and went back to cooking.

"Uh huh, says the guy who gets flustered whenever I saw him shirtless the first year I came back from college."

She didn't need to be looking at him to know he was blushing as he replied to her.

"Hey! That's different!"

Kit turned to Cole after he said this, peeling a potato and using the knife she was holding to gesture at him.

"Oh, my bad. I forgot you were a "marry a girl before she sees my pecs" kinda guy."

Cole squinted his eyes and gave a slight pout before standing up and cocking his hip to one side.

"How rude! Unlike you, I am no harlot amongst the townspeople."

Silence entered the kitchen once again before it was filled with laughter from both parties. Kit wiped a tear from the corner of her eye after she was able to stand up straight again.

"Oh my gods. Harlot! Damn someone must have picked up Shakespeare while he was out."

Cole continued chuckling before he gave a reply.

"Hey, you're the best harlot I know, Kit."

Kit scoffed at that.

"Please, I'm the only harlot you know."

Daniel decided to finally make an appearance, stepping into the kitchen at that moment, wearing his newly donned plaid pj's that Kit had gotten him for last Christmas.

"I would think that with all this giggling I would have walked in on a girls' slumber party." A knowing smile on his face as he spoke.

Kit offered a childish smile to the man in response. Cole seeming to become very interested in mopping the floor as he began again with renewed fervor.

"I forgot to ask if Ross was going to be coming to the pack dinner tonight."

Kit gave a shrug of uncertainty, turning to Cole to look for an answer.

"I think so, he mentioned wanting to come to the next one. I'll text him when I'm done with this."

Daniel gave a short and curt nod back before sidling up to the counter next to Kit to help finish preparations.

"I know he isn't a wolf like us, but he is still family. I was friends with his father when Ross was still small and promised to look after him when his dad passed. It would be good for us to catch up. I reckon you and Kit see him more than I."

Kit offered another shrug.

"Not as much as I used to. I'm still on the hot seat at the Wanderer after that bar fight I got into a couple months ago."

Daniel and Cole both shook their heads.

"I still can't believe you got in trouble for that. That guy got handsy and you told him to back off. It's not your fault some men can't take no for an answer."

Cole chuckled lightly in the back.

"I don't think he'll be getting anyone after that stunt and getting handed his ass in front of practically the whole town, Daniel."

Small Tiny Houses

We love that this model gives you the flexibility, comfort and convenience of a full-size home in a compact package. While this is a highly affordable option, its functionality is primarily limited to backyard use. If you're looking for something basic that still gives you a great deal of quality, this is the model we would choose. The wide doors of this tiny home open up and leave ample room for the prefab to be used as a garage, studio, or shed. You'll have to add a floor yourself, and unfortunately paint and shingles aren't included either, but that leaves lots of room for customization. You can even adapt the side door and windows to be exactly where you want them for a one-of-a-kind design - tiny house financing.

If your small home isn't sized for you, you will not be taking full advantage of the benefits of owning a tiny home. To ensure this tiny home fits all of your lifestyle needs, the layout is customizable and can include up to three bedrooms, a bathroom and a kitchen as well as a living room. You can still enjoy the joys of modern-day electrical appliances even if the sun isn’t shining. The flooring is waterproof and moisture-resistant while the polyurethane adhesive sealant prevents frustrating leaks. The sandwich panels are not only fire-resistant, but they also provide thermal insulation, which is as important in the summer as it is in the winter. One of the best ways to make your home even more desirable is to add a luxurious outdoor oasis - Tiny Houses in Australia.

However, when it's time to hit the hay, the owner pushes a button and a double bed slowly lowers down from the ceiling, turning the space into a bedroom. This works using a motorized pulley system and, in a nice touch, the curtains are attached to the pulley too, so as the bed moves, the curtains close automatically.

This tiny home uses space with a drop-down queen bed, built-in appliances, and configurable areas to meet your needs. Just because you’re living in a tiny house doesn’t mean you do without the little luxuries. As usual, we're not being too strict with the definition of tiny house here either, so basically anything suitably small goes, and we've included a mixture of cabins, shipping containers, and even a shed alongside the traditional towable tiny houses that you'd expect. The one thing they all share in common, however, is an intelligent approach to downsizing and maximizing available. For more information, please visit our site http://teenytinyhomes.com.au/

Vent / personal / s.i. / sh mention / long post / extremely negative dont read

I rly wanna fucking stop existing man life is too fucking hard I cant do this shit

My grandpa basically blamed me for the house's electricity usage when i literally only used my computer for one week last month and like 2 days this month. Anything else this month has just been phone charging or running my 2 small aquariums. Idk why i have to take the blame for that just because im a young person when my grandpa literally has been using large machinery in the garage and we rent out our guest house which has an a/c unit running ALL the time (our house does not have a/c or any internal system. Utilities are included in the guest house we rent so we pay for that person to stay cool while we sweat over here lmao.)

Ive been suffering for weeks in the 90-100 degree weather with no fan because my bathroom flooded due to grandpa installing the wrong fixture in my toilet (i literally only needed to replace the flap which required no disconnections! But he insisted, and now my only clean fan has been stuck in my bathroom with the window open letting in all the heat). Like. I enjoy the heat. Im fine with no ac. I tolerate it fine. But i need an occasional few minutes of being in the fan if the windows have been letting in all the heat. Normally id keep my blinds closed and the shower curtain closed so the heat doesnt get extreme but because i need to air out the bathroom i cant do that ((Literally when i lived in nyc w no ac, i would just go out to the living room and turn a/c on for like 1 minute while i stand in front of it, and then off again and i was fine for the rest of the night, i cant sleep with ac or a fan on or else i get hypothermic - i actually started getting hypothermic the other night because my blankets fell off the bed on a cooler night, it sucked lol))

Im so sick of having to wear shoes in my bathroom due to the carpet being pulled back, its uncomfortable to traverse that mess while having an injured back. Im sick of all the wildfire ash thats poured into my bathroom and probably my room too. (I had JUST changed my last air filter the day before the fire started lmao probably used up the whole thing already, i never got to keep my clean air room i had just started).

I had to deep clean the kitchen and deep vacuum the entire house with my back thats been injured since MAY since grandpa wont clean up after himself, and apparently my mom has also not been cleaning for years in her room (and my mom has the nerve to judge me for having a clean but cluttered room! Its her fault its cluttered because im not allowed to have anything of mine except food downstairs!). I havent been able to get treatment for my back because my mom has the only car and shes been out of town for the past month+.

Im fucking scared as fuck because i couldnt get ahold of a doctors office for a prescription for my endo and so now ive been having to take the leftovers i had of a lower dose. I live in a dead zone so a lot of the time i cant make phonecalls, idk if the issue was my end or the doctors and im just too stressed to try again bc if i think ab endo im gonna have a mental breakdown, its already bad enough having EXTREME phone anxiety due to not being able to understand people when they talk especially over a garbled phone connection. Im supposed to quit this med at the end of the month and idk how im gonna survive. I might not. I was completely su// ici// dal during the last couple flare ups. Endo is incurable and apparently im resistant to medication and surgical treatment. So its untreatable for me too.

Then theres my whole depression. This just fucking kicked off a really terrible mood swing and ive been like crying and moping in bed for hours trying NOT to think about where i know the things i used to s.h. before are packed. Bc that hasnt ever stopped being on my fucking mind since before i even started as a teen lmao. I cant stop thinking about how im existing against my will. Theres just no good way to die. Id feel guilty too because of how expensive my jaw treatments are and i havent even finished.

Speaking of, my jaw is still fucked and not getting any better lmao. Im in constant pain and headaches because of the aligners on my teeth. Im making myself sick from eating depression foods because by the time i take the things off my teeth to eat and drink, my mouth hurts, my jaw hurts, my head hurts, my tummy hurts, and after i eat anything i feel sick and tired and lightheaded from not being able to snack or drink when i want at my own pace, and then suddenly having to eat a whole meals worth of food in one sitting. (Not that i do that lmao ive been eating really lightly bc i am not physically up to the task of cooking or eating anything. I CAN cook. Just not physically, or mentally any more). So ive been eating terribly within my already limited diet. (And my jaw wont stop popping and cracking painfully every time i chew anything which is so humiliating and frustrating and painful and i cant eat a lot of foods i used to.)

There just too much going on all at once and im fucking sick of everything. I was already at my fucking limit before my mom fucked off to do pet sitting for a relative and went back on her word that she'd bring the dog to stay at our house. Which means ive gone since May without treatment for my back except for the chiropractor i see right after my therapy appointment. Which i dont think is doing enough. I dont know what more can be done when i constantly have to do back breaking things around the house. And when i told my mom ab how im not able to get the care i need because of her leaving, she turned it on me and said it was my fault for not making an appointment. Fucking gaslighting asshole. How the fuck am i supposed to get to an appointment 30-40 minutes away when i dont have the car? (Because theres no where local that will take my insurance, and i dont think even the places 30-40 minutes away will take it either.)

I dont know how anyone manages to live. Just existing is constant pain due to fibromyalgia and arthritis. Its constant hypervigilance and fear from the endo. Its extreme treatment-resistant depression (i fucking wish antidepressants worked on me lmao but that was the most miserable 5 years of my life trying every class of them). Its gender dysphoria and i cant transition because i cant work or live independently (its not safe for me to come out or transition while living in grandpas house hed kick me out). Its loneliness because i have like 2 friends i occasionally talk to online but no one close and were not on the same circles even, not like i even have a stable internet connection to do anything more than just over messaging. I dont have the mental energy to be friends w anyone either bc i have nothing to offer. Existing while alive is a full time job with no pay or benefits. I dont even know anyone irl thats not relatives (im not close with anyone in my family at all) or a doctor. I dont have a license or car because family wouldnt let me practise when i did have permits and i certainly can't afford the $12k a year it costs to own a car in Cali, let alone to purchase one. I cant work but im not disabled enough to be legally disabled. Certainly wouldnt be able to afford to live in this area/county even if i could do some work beyond an occasional online resale, which sucks because this is where my tribe is and i just wish this area was a better fit for me. Just doing things around the house is what caused my back to go out in the first place and now its a chronic fucking issue, and i can barely walk to the mailbox or do grocery shopping. Its not safe for me to live alone either, probably, even tho i cant handle living with roommates because im too asocial for them.

Im so sick of everything. Why do i have to be blamed for the electricity. Im an artist and apparently using the skills i spent 4 years learning at college and countless hours improving on my own is using too much electricity if i turn on my computer to participate in a week of a drawing challenge. What if i had a fucking work from home job?? (Not like that would ever happen, grandpa wouldnt choose the cheaper and faster internet plan i told him to go with and instead chose a more expensive plan with a different company that has a data cap, so now it sucks for no reason other than that he doesnt want to take advice from either a woman or a young person! [Im not a woman but he doesnt know that]). I cant even try to apply for any kind of work from home job bc of the internet. Its hard enough trying to make a call over data, having to put it on speakerphone and reach my phone against my room window while i lean over the counter. I was already unemployed before the pandemic due to the same mental health issues i havent stopped suffering from.

I wish that i wanted to live and do better for myself but whats the fucking point any more. I dont even want to live. I have no fucking reason to. At all. Im only alive bc there's no good way to die. Every day i think about how much i wish i didnt exist. It sucks and theres no fucking treatment that works. Therapy probably helps but its not making improvements for me when there are too many things out of my control making my life completely fucking miserable, its just damage reduction at this point.

I even exercise. Often. Despite the pain in my back and everywhere else. It does not help when i have fibromyalgia. Im in extreme pain even with the lightest exercise. But ive been exercising since the last endo flare up in fucking march in the hopes itll make my next endo flare up a little less worse if im stronger. Who knows if its working. Guess ill find out after the end of this month. God im so fucking scared.

I dont want to do anything rn im just so fucking miserable. But now my room is heating up since its the end of the day and im sweating too much to keep lying in bed being miserable. Idk what im gonna do. Besides ignore the ideation and knowledge about where my sharp objects are. I was working on sewing but i lost steam because of grandpa blaming me for the electricity sending me down a spiral. As if im not already doing enough cleaning up the whole fucking house and trying to prevent mold growth from the leak he caused and then laughed it off and wouldnt help me move (not my) furniture to prevent water damage.

Fuck i still have to measure the carpet padding so i can buy more later. At least the carpet itself is safe. Its getting dark out and i threw that padding shit outside and forgot about it last week so i dont wanna deal with measuring that right now. Ugh.

What do i even do when im too fucking depressed to do anything at all?? No one fucking prepares you for how fucking miserable being alive actually is.

10 Tips For Childproofing Your Home's Electrical System

As parents and caregivers, one of our primary concerns is ensuring the safety of our children, particularly in our homes where numerous hazards can lurk unnoticed without an emergency electrician Brisbane to inspect them. The electrical system of a house, while essential, can pose significant risks to young, inquisitive minds and hands. To mitigate these risks, childproofing your home's electrical system is a crucial step.

Here are some comprehensive tips to help you safeguard your home and protect your children from electrical accidents.

Use Outlet Covers

One of the simplest yet most effective ways to childproof your home is to use outlet covers. These small, plastic devices are designed to fit snugly into unused electrical outlets, preventing children from inserting foreign objects, which can lead to electric shocks. Choose tamper-resistant covers that are difficult for children to remove but easy for adults to handle, ensuring both safety and convenience.

Keep Electrical Cords Out of Reach

Electrical cords can be enticing to children, who might chew on or play with them. This behaviour poses risks of electric shock or strangulation. To prevent such accidents, secure cords behind furniture or use cord shorteners. Additionally, regularly check cords for fraying and damage, and replace them when necessary to avoid potential hazards.

Secure Heavy Appliances

Heavy appliances like televisions, computers, and microwaves should be securely anchored to prevent them from being pulled or tipped over by curious children. This not only prevents potential physical injuries but also reduces the risk of electrical hazards that can occur if these appliances are dislodged from their usual positions.

Avoid Overloading Outlets

Overloaded electrical outlets are a common hazard in many homes. They can overheat and pose a fire risk. Educate children about the importance of not plugging too many devices into one outlet and use power strips with built-in circuit breakers for added safety. This also includes being mindful of high-wattage appliances and ensuring they have dedicated outlets if necessary.

Regularly Inspect Your Electrical System

A regular inspection of your home's electrical system can help identify and address potential hazards like frayed wires, loose outlets, or overloaded circuits. This proactive approach can prevent many electrical accidents and ensure a safer home environment for your children.

Use Cordless Window Coverings

Cordless window coverings are a safer alternative to traditional blinds and curtains that come with cords. These cords can pose a strangulation hazard to young children. By opting for cordless options, you can significantly reduce this risk and add a modern touch to your home décor.

Install GFCIs in Wet Areas

Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) are critical in areas where electricity and water may come into contact, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas. These devices help prevent electric shock by quickly cutting off power if a difference in electrical current is detected. Regularly test GFCIs to ensure they are functioning correctly, providing an extra layer of protection where it's most needed.

Educate Your Children

As children grow, it's essential to educate them about the dangers of electricity and the importance of adhering to safety rules. This education is not only about warning them of the hazards but also about teaching them the correct way to interact with electrical devices. Empower them with knowledge so they can recognize and avoid potential dangers.

Keep Electrical Devices Away from Water

It is crucial to keep all electrical devices away from water. This is particularly important in bathrooms and kitchens, where the proximity of water and electricity greatly increases the risk of electrical shock. Instilling good habits, such as not using electronic devices near sinks or bathtubs, can go a long way in ensuring safety.

Store Batteries Safely

Batteries, especially small button batteries, can be a choking hazard and are dangerous if ingested. Store all batteries, particularly those small enough to be swallowed, in a secure, inaccessible place. Additionally, ensure that battery compartments on toys and other devices are tightly fastened and secured from curious exploration.

Childproofing your home's electrical system involves a combination of practical measures, regular maintenance, and ongoing education. By implementing the tips above, you can create a safer environment for your children, giving them peace of mind and allowing them to explore and grow in a secure setting. Remember, vigilance and proactive measures are key to safeguarding your loved ones from the potential dangers posed by household electricity.

Making Colonial Bathrooms More Authentic

Whether you live in an old colonial house or a newer one, there are some things you can do to make your bathrooms more authentic. Some of these things include patterned tile, stenciling, and built-in cabinetry. Other things you can do include putting in Roman shades or wood floors.

Ceramic tiles

Choosing bathroom materials is important to create the look and feel you desire. Materials come in a variety of colors and finishes. You will need to consider what type of material is best for your project and how it will complement the rest of your decor.

Ceramic tile is the most common material used in bathrooms. This type of tile is made from a refined clay. It is oven-fired and is finished with a glaze to repel moisture. It is less porous than porcelain and less prone to chipping. It is ideal for floors, showers and tubs.

Ceramic tiles are often used in combination with other materials, such as hardwood flooring, to create a cohesive look. Tiles can also be arranged in different patterns and textures to create a unique look.

Wood floors

Throughout the American colonial era, wood floors in bathrooms were popular. They were installed in simple patterns and variations in color. These floors were made from abundant timbers found in old-growth forests.

The first wood floors were literally “sanded.” Each piece of wood was cut by hand and then fitted together. They were also polished with linseed oil and wax. These floors were not long-lasting, and re-application was necessary.

In the early years of the American colonial era, there was a lot of political and social upheaval. Craftsmen were key to the colonists’ lives. These craftsmen made the furniture, the walls, and the floors.

The floors were made from long, wide planks. They were also finished with wax, stain, and varnish. These finishes weren’t very effective, but they were very attractive. Eventually, these finishes were replaced by synthetic resins. They were not as stable as the natural resins, but they were easier to maintain.

Stenciling

During the American colonial era, which lasted for two centuries from 1600 to 1800, stenciling was a popular way to decorate bare walls. Often, stencils were used around mirrors, crown molding, and wall sconces.

These days, stenciling has become a sassy decorator statement. Stencils come in a variety of sizes and are easy to use. They can be purchased online or at craft stores. They cost between $20 and $100 depending on the complexity of the design. They are also chemical resistant and washable.

Stencils can be used on walls, furniture, and floors. Depending on the pattern, they may require multiple layers to be applied. Stencils can also be used over painted walls. They are a better option than vinyl for interior walls. They can also be applied to concrete.

Roman shades

Whether you are looking to update the look of your bathroom or you are looking for a new way to block the sun, Roman shades are a great option. These curtains are designed to give you privacy, temperature control, and more. They come in a variety of fabrics, colors, and patterns to fit any style. You can even order custom Roman shades to fit your windows.

Roman shades are ideal for bathroom windows because they are small. Long draperies can overpower a room and create a cluttered aesthetic. In addition, fabric window treatments are more likely to get mildew than other window treatments. To avoid this problem, use a fabric that can be spot cleaned. Also, make sure you use a curtain that will not allow moisture to seep through.

Built-in cabinetry

During the American colonial era, between 1600 and 1800, the country was experiencing great social, political, and cultural upheaval. It was also an era of great craftsmanship. Craftsmen used stencils to make the most of limited materials. This concept was also applied to bathroom cabinetry. It entailed using stencils to make designs on walls, mirrors, and cabinets.

While this concept was not exactly new, it was a big improvement over the flimsy kitchens of the day. The built-in concept introduced fold-up seats, built-in linen cases, in-wall medicine cabinets, and tubs. It also freed up floor space in the bedroom during the day.

There are a lot of variations on the built-in concept. Many have been replaced by empty alcoves, but examples still exist in Tudor homes, Foursquares, and Dutch Colonial Revival houses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can my bathroom feel more modern?

You can make your bathroom modern in many ways. You can achieve a modern design by using simple lines that are sleek and clean. You can also use colours like white, grey, and black. Modern fixtures like LED lighting and rainshowers will also make your space feel more modern. Decluttering your bathroom and making sure that everything is in its proper place will give it a cleaner, more minimalistic appearance.

What will be the trend for bathroom decor in 2023?

While bathroom decor trends are always changing, some themes have been around since the beginning. These will be discussed below.

Minimalism – The goal of minimalism is to eliminate all clutter from our homes. It could also mean clearing out cupboards and shelves to remove unnecessary clutter and replace them with functional items. This also means making everything easy to use.

Urban Living – Many people love living in cities. Many urban dwellers today want to live near nature. They don’t want the city to be without trees or green space. They have shifted back to smaller houses and apartments that have small yards.

Eco-Friendly Design – People are more concerned about the environment. This has resulted a rise in ecofriendly design. Green design is all about designing spaces that are sustainable and healthy. There are many ways designers can create eco-friendly properties. Design professionals can use natural materials in their designs. Another option is to make sure that the home’s appearance doesn’t distract people from the surrounding environment.

Shabby Chic – Shabby chic is one of those styles that was born out of necessity and not fashion. During World War II, women were forced to reuse old clothes to prevent wasting resources. After the war ended they started to collect old pieces and repurpose them. Shabby chic has become a very popular design trend, with many applications, including furniture, accessories, and food.

Artistic Design – Artistic design has been around for centuries. Artists have always focused on expressing themselves through their work. As technology advances, so does artistic design. We can now combine digital art with 3D printing to create unique objects not possible elsewhere.

Industrial Design: Industrial design isn’t new. It dates back hundreds of centuries. What makes industrial design so unique today is the industry access. To participate in this type of design, you don’t need to be part a large corporation. You can do almost anything with the internet.

Modernist Architecture – Modernist architecture gets its name from looking at traditional design elements like symmetry and order. It instead focuses on asymmetry, irregularity and balance. This allows architects to play around with shapes and sizes. Other features include open floorplans, clean lines, clear walls, glass, steel and concrete, as well as wood.

Contemporary Design-Contemporary design incorporates both modern and traditional elements. It’s a fusion of all types of design, giving you something fresh and original that takes your taste buds on a ride.

Nature Inspired – Nature-inspired design focuses on bringing the outdoors inside. The addition of plants and flowers to any room adds life, while fountains draw water into the space. Some great examples of nature-inspired interior decorating are:

Rustic Interior Decoration – If rustic is your preference, you can use cedar siding or barn wood. These elements give the rooms an authentic farmhouse feel and work well in almost any setting.

French Country Interior – If you love the country but hate the cold, consider adding a few touches to French country design. Use soft furnishings, pastel colors, and simple colours. You can paint the walls light colors and place some French provincial chairs in your room. This room is great for relaxing in the summer.

Bohemian Style-If you enjoy the idea living in an urban area, but still desire a bit more country feel, the bohemian fashion will be able to help you do that. Think: of earthy tones, comfortable fabrics, and low-key decorations.

How do you do a facelift in a bathroom?

It’s not enough to replace fixtures and fittings when renovating a bathroom. It’s about creating a welcoming environment for people to feel at home. Your bathroom should be inviting and relaxing for you and your guests.

Here are some tips:

Consider adding plants. They improve the air quality and natural beauty. There are many indoor plants that you can choose from, including succulents, mosses and cacti.

Your lighting should be correct. Lighting is crucial in creating an inviting and beautiful space. Try using indirect light sources instead of direct ones. These will give soft, diffused illumination.

You should create a comfortable area for sitting. A bench or small table could be used as a seating area. For photos and art, shelves can be mounted to the wall. You can brighten the space by adding a mirror to reflect light.

A bathrobe hook can be used to hang your robes or coats.

Are mosaic tiles suitable to be used in modern bathrooms?

It would be best if you avoided mosaic tiles in modern design unless you are using them as your accent tiles. They can make your bathroom look dated or cluttered. Use mosaic tiles as accents to your shower, tub, or sink if you like the look.

How to Paint Bathroom Cabinets for an Easy Vanity Upgrade

How To

How to design a beautiful bathroom yourself

Choose a color scheme that matches your home Consider how the scheme will look in conjunction with your home’s decor. Consider the age of your house and avoid bright colors such as yellow, orange, or green. Choose soft colors like cream, gray, white and white instead.

Living in a newer house gives you more flexibility when choosing bathroom colors. If you wish, you can choose brighter colours but only use them sparingly. A brightly-coloured towel rack or accent wall might be enough to give your space some personality.

You need to ensure there are plenty of storage spaces

It is important to ensure there is enough storage space in your bathroom. You need enough storage space to hold towels, soap, makeup brush, and other items in your bathroom.

If space is tight, you might consider floating shelves or medicine cabinets. These will add storage space to your home without taking up much space.

Consider adding mirrors

Mirrors can be a wonderful addition to any bathroom. Mirrors can be used to look at yourself without you having to leave your powder room. There are many types of mirrors. Mirrors come in different shapes and sizes. Some mirrors can be rectangular while others can be round. You can even find mirrors that are shaped like animals or flowers.

Proper Lighting

Your lighting is essential and needs special attention. You should consider many factors when lighting your bathroom.

The first thing you need to think about is what type of light bulbs you want to use. There are a variety of options including LED, Halogen and Fluorescent.

Next, decide where you want to place your light fixtures. You can put them on the ceiling, on the walls.It would be best if you also considered your natural lighting. Make sure that your bathroom has enough windows to let in natural light. If not, you may want to consider adding a skylight.

Your personal preferences will determine the type of lighting that you choose. Be sure to check that the lighting fixtures you choose are safe for use in a bathroom. This will ensure that they can withstand moisture and humidity.

Select The Right Flooring

You should choose slip-resistant flooring that is easy to maintain. For bathroom flooring, you can choose from porcelain tiles, natural stone or luxury vinyl.

Avoid dark-colored flooring in small bathrooms. This will make the space appear smaller and more cramped. Instead, opt for lighter colours such as white, cream, or beige.

Choose your Layout Carefully

The layout of your bathroom is just as important as the colours and fixtures you select. Consider how you will use the space when planning your layout.

Avoid putting in a bath tub if your bathroom is small. This will free up some extra space to move around more easily.

In a larger bathroom, you might want to install a second sink. This will provide more counter space and make it easier on two people to do their own things simultaneously.

Once you understand how you want to use the space, you can start planning your layout. To determine the size of your room, use a tape measure. Draw a few layout options on graphpaper.

Once you have seen several layouts, pick the one that suits your space best.

Remember Ventilation

To stop mould and mildew growing in bathrooms, they need adequate ventilation. This is especially true if you live somewhere humid.

Before installing the fan, make sure you read all instructions. It is important to ensure that your fan vents properly to the outside.

Use Quality Materials

Make sure you choose quality materials when remodeling your bathroom. Quality materials are more durable and will resist damage better. While they may cost more initially, these materials will be cheaper in the long-term.

Ask for help from professionals

Remodeling your bathroom isn’t difficult. You can trust professionals to complete the task. A contractor is trained to deal with different aspects. They are qualified to install heating and cooling systems as well as plumbing wiring. Hiring professional contractors will save you money and headaches. Additionally, they are experts at each stage of the project.

Enjoy Your New bathroom

After all the hard work and planning, it’s now time to get into your new bathroom. A plant, fluffy towels, and some scented candles are just a few of the final touches you can add to your bathroom. These little touches will make your bathroom feel like home.

It’s now time to get started on your bathroom remodel. Use these tips to create the bathroom of your dreams.
