The Smuttening - January 2025

It's a dice roll prompt game! Each column has five prompts, with 6 being a free choice (so if you roll a 6, you get to choose whichever prompt you want)

Each chart comes with 5 categories: location, kink (two BDSM ones included), item (based on the monthly theme), a line of dialogue, and one of the five senses

You roll the dice for every category, leaving you with five prompts altogether to create something steamy.

How you interpret your prompts is totally up to you! Fic, art, dojin, moodboard, you choose the medium that's best for you.

Open to any and all fandoms, as long as the characters involved are 18+.

Use #smuttening or tag the page if you post it on Tumblr!

Happy creating! ~Muse of Mystery

Something New

(Maxwell Beaumont x MC) in a Choices The Royal Romance Drabble

January 2025 prompts: New Relationships

Masterlist

A/N I know it's been a really long time since I last posted. My husband's cancer and surgeries have taken center stage these last few months and now that he's been deemed cancer free, I felt inspired to write something. Plus, yesterday was our wedding anniversary, so writing something a little bit sweet and romantic was a must, LOL. Taking this from Book 2 at the homecoming ball.

Also for @twinkleallnight I know it's been a while for any Royal Romance fics from me. Hope you enjoy this one.

*****************

The Cordonian Palace grounds...

Something new was on the horizon. Riley could feel it thrumming along with her nerves that were on edge. She was simply waiting on that one last little something to show her what course to take.

Glancing to her left, she saw the handsome man walking beside her. She took in his lean muscular form dressed in his typical black dress shirt and charcoal gray pants and jacket. Eschewing a tie, he left the first few buttons unbuttoned to give a more fun, relaxed appearance.

Her eyes lifted to his profile. For once his easy going smile was not on display. An unusually somber expression graced his face. Those ocean colored eyes of his were focused ahead of the cobblestoned path they were walking.

Unsure of what to do next, Riley cleared her throat to break the silence.

"So?" She tentatively asked. "Where are we going?"

Maxwell shrugged. "Dunno. Never really have a set path whenever I take a walk around the palace. Just go wherever the whim takes me."

Riley snorted on a laugh.

Maxwell's dimpled grin popped up at that unladylike sound.

"I think going wherever the whim takes you describes you and me pretty well."

He tilted his head while considering that and nodded, smiling even more. "I guess it does."

"I know it does." She declared, beginning to tick off the evidence on her fingers. "One: I go out with you, Liam, and Drake after being your waitress."

"And Tariq," he reminded her.

Her nose wrinkled. "Yeah, but he wasn't as much fun as you three so he doesn't count."

"Understood." Maxwell replied.

Riley then continued. "Two: I agree without any thought to your proposal to come to Cordonia to be the Beaumont's suitor for Liam." She stopped him once they reached a fountain in the side courtyard. "For the record, I only agreed to it because I wanted to get to know you better."

Maxwell's eyes widened. "You did what?"

Riley huffed, tossing back the few strawberry blonde tresses that had escaped her clip out of her face.

"You were the only reason I began this wild journey." She admitted.

Color rose up her neck, engulfing her face in what she not so fondly deemed her, "tomatoe paste complexion".

She knew the time had come to admit everything to Maxwell if this was truly the beginning of them being together.

After refusing Liam's proposal, she'd only had a brief chance to talk about her feelings to Maxwell before they succumbed to temptation and basically just made out on the hotel's rooftop. Not that she was complaining, but she had intended to go into more depth about her feelings for him.

The last thing she wanted to do was to make him think he had not been her first choice from the very beginning.

"It was always you, Max." She told him. "I only agreed to be Liam's suitor to help you and Bertrand. Plus, I knew it'd give me a chance to see if what I felt for you was just a crush or maybe something more."

Clutching the folds of her white skirt, she kept her eyes upon his face watching as shock gave into rueful joy.

Rubbing the back of his neck, his lips parted, then he sighed.

"I uh, I invited you because I felt the same way." He admitted.

"What?!" Riley practically screeched.

Laughing, he shrugged. "I couldn't help but fall for you." He gestured towards her. "You're fun, sweet, and sexy as hell. What's not to love?"

"Oh my gosh." She placed her hands upon her hips. "Are you telling me that we are both this dumb to let all these months go by without ever saying a word?"

"Pretty much." Maxwell snorted. "God, we're idiots."

"The biggest in the world." She mumbled. "Now what do we do?"

"Whatever we want." He grasped her hand and tugged her closer to the fountain.

"I could live with that." She decided. "As long as you hopefully want what I want."

"What do you want, Riley?"

Straightening her posture, she took both his hands in hers. "I want you, Maxwell Percival Beaumont. I want you to continue to be my best friend. I want you to take that huge step and become my love. I want everything that comes with that new relationship while sprinkling in all we have with our old one. I want to be with you and only you for as long as you want me to."

She was fairly certain her face would remain beet red for the rest of her life. She couldn't remember ever saying this much feelings wise to any other guy she'd been in a relationship with. Granted, none of the others had come remotely close to being a Maxwell Beaumont type.

Silence fell between them making her want to squirm and find some hidden nook to crawl into until her embarrassment killed her.

Maxwell tried to speak. He had a huge speech ready to give her, telling her all that he'd kept carefully hidden all these months just in case she only saw him as a friend. Granted all the signs had been there that she liked him more than that. Always hanging out with him, dancing mostly with him, sneaking into his tent, etc., rose to his mind that his feelings definitely hadn't been one sided.

But now, he couldn't get the words out that he was madly, head over heels, probably always had been, from the moment they met, in love with Ms. Riley Brooks of New York.

He picked her up and swung her around in his arms. Her startled squeal turned into laughter as the world went by in a blur.

Once her toes touched the ground, his lips ensnared hers in a passionate kiss.

He held her close as he savored the taste and sensations only she could give with those lips of hers.

When the kiss ended, he stared into her spring green eyes and grinned.

"I want all that too Riley." A hint of bashfulness appeared in his vulnerable gaze. "I always have. I just hope I don't screw this up."

She cupped his cheek, feeling the weight of the world slide off her shoulders in the very words she had so desperately longed to hear.

"Listen to me." She said softly. "There is no way, in any possible universe where there is another Riley and Maxwell, that you could ever mess up what we have."

She gave him a playful shake. "We're the dynamic duo who win every single time!"

He swopped down and kissed her once more.

"Got it?" She asked a touch breathlessly.

"Got it."

Maxwell cuddled her close and simply held her as they looked at the fountain.

"This is our beginning." He said with nothing but absolute joy.

"Yes," she teased, "and it's about time."

.☽༊˚ january writing; a shattered windscreen

randy & reader

feat. qrf!reader, platonic relationship (dad/mentor-esq), car crash, minor injury depiction

Even with the blood pumping out of your nose and the brisk cold seeping up from the sidewalk through your jeans, the greatest source of pain right now are the things your own mind is hurling at you.

There is a part of your brain that knows it wasn’t your fault. That the intersection was clear when you pulled out of the road, and that the asshole who’d hit you had torn like a bat out of hell out of a dive-bar parking lot a couple hundred metres to your back after the fact. With no headlights to signify his barrelling approach towards you in the darkness, he’d been gracing your back bumper before you’d caught sight of the glint of his windscreen in your mirrors - just seconds before yours had splintered into thousands of shards spewing out in all directions, as he rear-ended you and set you on a collision course straight into a telephone pole.

But, that logic is being drowned out by the nasally little voice who’ll never miss an excuse to pull you up on your mistakes. Firefighters and police whirl around you in blurs of flashing lights and furious discussion, giving you a wide bearth where you sit hunched on the sidewalk. Having dismissed the paramedics, trusting Tex’s hands more than anyone elses’, and already given your statement, there’s little for you to do but wait and try with all your might to pull your focus away from the screeching of metal as the fire department try and pry your hapless aggressor out of his car teetering precariously in the ditch.

A kind-faced EMT reappears at your shoulder, asking quietly if your’e sure there’s nothing she can do for you, when a familiar truck screeches to a halt beyond the police cordon and the only face you want to see appears as the door is shoved open. Eyes not unlike your own, blown wide with fear scan the crowd until they land on you some hundred feet away, and then Randy’s shoving past the unifroms trying to keep him behind the tape and shouting your name as he barrels towards you.

Sharp flecks of gravel dig painfully into the heels of your palm as you push yourself up off the concrete in your haste to reach him. The adrenaline drop makes your head dizzy and your legs untrustworthy, but Randy carries more speed than you’d first thought and is heaving your sluggish form against him before your legs threaten to give out. 

“Oh, kid.” He exhales against the side of your head, cradling you against him even as you’re sure tears and blood alike stain his shirt. The silver of his crucifix is cold and sharp against your cheek, but you couldn’t care less. What little pain it brings just solidifies his presence, and with it the first notion of safety you’ve found in the whole last hour. Tears prick viciously at your eyes as your shaking fists ball in the fabric of his shirt, worsening as his big hand soothes over the uninjured side of your head.

“It’s okay.” His voice is rough, gravelled from the sleep you’d awoken him from with your call and worsened with the sickening anxiety you can feel coursing through him. It should’ve taken him twenty minutes to get here from the QRF house, maybe more taking into account the traffic on base and around the town at this hour of the night. He’d done it in ten, if even.

Randy draws back and kisses your forehead, his beard scratching your forehead in a way you’d normally rebuke, but you can only look up at him with tears in your eyes now as he pushes your hair back from your face. Deep brown eyes search yours as his hands squeeze softly at your face, trying to drive home his words in the face of your upset. “You hear me? S’okay.”

“M’so- “ A hiccup interrupts your tearful outburst, errant tears escaping your waterline and spilling down your bloodied cheeks as you fix your wild eyes indiscriminately at a point on his shoulder. “M’so fucking stupid, Randy, I- “

“No, no.” Sternness curbs his usually softened tone as he waves off approaching figures. The pad of his thumb settles over the curve of your cheekbone, holding your gaze to his as his other hand grips your shoulder. The beginnings of a smile eke out their hold on his face and you can tell he’s forcing it for your benefit, even if it does succeed in calming the racing of your thought minutely. “You’re a hell of a lot of things but stupid ain’t never been one of them, slick.”

A broken sob bursts from your lips, and Randy pulls you tight against him without hesitation.

“We’re gonna figure this all out.” He promises, and you believe him. The bulk of his arms fending off both the cold and the threat, and a hand soothing over your mussed hair, you blur into him in the cold night air. “You don’t worry ‘bout nothing now. I’m here.”
