Hallmark+ Streaming Service to Launch in Fall, Will Include First Holiday Limited Series, Original Movies and More
Hallmark Movies Now is undergoing a transformation. The on-demand service will be rebranded as Hallmark+, a new streaming service set to launch in mid-September, which will incorporate ad-free viewing with retail and product benefits. âHallmark+ marks a seminal moment for Hallmark,â says Mike Perry, president and CEO, Hallmark. âBy intertwining new, rich content experiences with tangible rewards and premium Hallmark gifts, we are delivering a unique, new program that reflects our commitment to spreading joy through our deeply beloved brand touchpoints.â Currently, Hallmark Movies Now plans begin at $5.99 a month or $59.99 for a year; Hallmark+ plans will start at $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year. The membership includes exclusive benefits and rewards, including monthly $5 Hallmark Gold Crown Store coupons, free unlimited eCards, rewards for shopping, and surprise gifts.
This fall, Hallmark+ will debut their first movie trilogy told from the maleâs point of view. Inspired by âThe Wedding Veilâ trilogy, âThe Groomsmenâ follows three lifelong best friends who stand up for each other at each of their big days. Jonathan Bennett, Tyler Hynes and B.J. Britt star.
Hallmark+ is set to roll out fresh content, including new genres and formats for Hallmark Media. For the first time, theyâll enter the holiday limited series space with âHolidazed,â which follows six families from different backgrounds coming together over the holidays and stars Dennis Haysbert, Erin Cahill, Holland Roden, John C. McGinley, Ian Harding and more.
The app will feature Hallmarkâs foray into unscripted content as well. Coming in the fall, Jonathan Bennett will host âFinding Mr. Christmas,â a competition series to become the companyâs next leading man. Lacey Chabert will honor real-life heroes in âCelebrations With Lacey Chabert.â Then, during the holiday season, Wes Brown will host âReady, Set, Glow!â traveling to some of the most impressive, festive displays and meeting the inspirational people behind the lights.
In 2025, two more unscripted series will come to the app: âSmall Town Setup,â with Ashley Williams helping parents play matchmaker for their adult kids; and âHome Is Where the Heart Is,â following Luke Macfarlane as he helps families renovate an important room in their home.
âThe Chicken Sistersâ adaptation series is set to debut on the app in mid-September. In addition to the previously announced cast, Margo Martindale has joined as the narrator, as James Kot, Rukiya Bernard, Ektor Rivera and Jake Foy have been added to the cast.

still into you
after abruptly leaving hawkins (and you) seven years ago, eddie munson, ex-boyfriend turned rockstar, makes a grand return. how will things pan out when your lives couldnât be further apart?
this has been in the drafts for god knows how long and you can definitely tell where my writing started to improve as i came back to it.. hope yâall enjoy anyway! this is so long good lord. also includes a bit of bestfriendism with stevie!
18+. mdni. smut. mentions of alcohol. eddie is a dickhead. no use of y/n!
read part two here.
ââĄâ§âË
âyou know heâs coming back next weekend?â steve mutters, nodding towards you as you rip the sellotape from the brown box, beginning to stack the cans of soup.
âis he? oh my god oh my god,â feigning excitement with a straight face.
youâd already known he was coming back, youâd received the invitation just like everybody else. except, youâd swiftly put the gimmicky piece of paper into the trash and got on with your day. confused why everyone else seemed to be losing their goddamn minds over it.
he huffs quietly, helping you with the heavy tins, âare you gonna go?â steve didnât actually work in melvalds but came in on his breaks purely to chat and distract you from your work.
âam i gonna go? hmm, let me think.. no.â
âhe wants to see you.. you should come,â prodding his elbow into your side, collapsing the box into a flat piece of cardboard.
âyou spoke to him?â ears perking up. you didnât care if heâd mentioned you. no, really.
âyeah.. he called a few weeks ago, yâknow when the invitations got sent out,â picking up the next box to start filling the shelf.
âoh! itâs nice to know he called you and just hilarious to know i never got a phone call,â getting frankly quite sick of hearing about eddie fucking munson and his grand return.
once upon a time, eddie had actually been your boyfriend. mustâve been 7 or so years ago by this point.. anyway, that was before heâd got his big break and decided that he was going to completely forget about hawkins.. and about you. youâd still been together after his first tiny tour, excitedly waiting for him to come home when he just.. never did.
heâd had the decency to at least call and tell you that he was breaking up with you.. weâre just in different places right now.. itâs not you.. i donât want you to ruin your life waiting for me..
it was essentially a whole bunch of bullshit, because the very next month he was spotted with some bottle blonde model looking suspiciously close at some club heâd have absolutely hated the year prior. it was like a punch to the gut, flicking through the pages of the trashy magazine just knowing that you hadnât been enough for this new lifestyle of his.
from then on, youâd decided to disengage with any and everything about him. turning the tv off when corroded coffin came on one of the morning talk shows, leaving the room at parties when one of his songâs inevitably came on and just completely blanking out of the conversation when his name was brought up. it was easier that way, saved your feelings and the awkward glances youâd get.
at some point things had become slightly more complicated and youâre not sure how exactly it had happened but you had wound up pregnant. and by jason carver no less. maybe it was your shared disdain for eddie that had brought you together. who knows?
but it had happened and now you had to deal with it. and although jason may come in a close second to worldâs biggest assholes.. you had gained a beautiful daughter from it all and had become quite content with your single mom life.
people had come and gone, robin jetting off to some fancy college in california.. jonathan and nancy ending up in new york at some hot-shot newspaper.. the kids youâd sort of gathered had all gone off to various colleges, becoming adults themselves. all except for steve.
steve had stayed in hawkins like you, begrudgingly following his fatherâs footsteps, getting a job at his accounting firm. it was good money and kept his dad happy so he couldnât fault it really. heâd even got his own place just down the street from your house and at some point youâd just accepted that he was probably your only friend in hawkins.
it had brought the two of you undeniably closer and maybe youâd even call him your best friend now. well, except for right now as he was beginning to piss you off with all this fussing over eddie.
âyou have to come.. itâs not just for him, everyone is going.. itâs a reunion,â steve continues to pester you despite your efforts to shut him down.
âsteve, iâm not going and thatâs that.â
he sighs, staring at you with a blank expression, âokay, well.. iâll tell him itâs a maybe,â checking his watch before frowning, âshit, iâm late.. iâll see you later,â throwing the empty cardboard to the floor before dashing off down the aisle, giving you an exaggerated wave as he disappears.
you just knew that he was not going to drop this until you agreed to go. but he could kick and scream as much as he liked, you had absolutely zero desire to go this flimsy reunion and even less desire to see eddie in the flesh.
-
itâs another dull week of stacking shelves and managing a team of absolute morons and before you know it, itâs the day before that fucking reunion and steve is still as incessant as ever that you must go.
âmy mom can look after ella.. please just come,â he sounded like he was a second away from getting on his knees to actually beg you to go.
youâd started to just ignore him now, getting on with whatever you were doing, choosing to give him the silent treatment. he hated that.
âyouâre so annoying,â he scoffs, still helping you unbox the bags of chips, âwill you just come for five minutes.. you donât even have to talk to eddie, itâs the first time weâll all be together again.. puh-leaseee,â breaking into a weird sort of sing-song tone.
you exhale through your nose, visibly frustrated by the man, âiâm going to ban you in a minute,â raising your eyebrows, taking the same tone you used when ella was being a brat.
âno you wonât,â furrowing his brows, âwhat if i promise to stand in between you the whole night? iâll beat him with a stick if he even tries to talk to you,â completely serious with what he just said.
you chortle, covering your mouth as one of the elderly customers walks past, slightly bewildered by the noise that just escaped your mouth, âcouldnât you just beat him with a stick anyway?â
âehh.. not really, he is paying for the whole thing,â straightening the bags of air heâd just placed on the shelf, âi mean, i could if you really want me to.â
you roll your eyes, of course he was. heâd rented the fanciest restaurant just outside of town for your gaggle of pals. any chance to flaunt the fact that heâd made it out of this hell hole and left the rest of you in the dirt.
âi have a child, steve, i canât just go out and leave her at home.. some of us arenât free like you are,â turning to face him with a stern hand on your hip.
âi just told you my momâll look after her.. she hasnât seen her in so long and.. and you can stay at mine and iâll take you to her first thing in the morning,â his eyes are round, glimmering in the harsh overhead lights.
âi donât have anything to wear,â shrugging, you really didnât. becoming a mother isnât quite so glamorous and a lot of clothes youâd once fit into had become a little tight.
âwhen dâyou finish?â
narrowing your eyes at him, âtwo..â
âgreat.. okay well, iâll take a half-day and we can go shopping.. on me,â wiggling his eyebrows at you. the thing about steve is that he believes that most problems can be solved by throwing money at it.
he wasnât wrong, of course.
because you reluctantly agree to go shopping with him on the condition that you werenât definitely going to this thing. you were just going to try on dresses. that was it.
-
you get a cab to the restaurant, there was no way in hell you were doing this sober nor did you want to subject steve to being sober for your sake. palms clammy as you clamber out of the vehicle, immediately regretting your decision.
no one would care if you didnât go, right? you could quite easily just get back into the taxi and go home without forcing yourself to endure the night.
steveâs one step ahead of you, grabbing your hand so you canât run away. throwing him an awful glare but you werenât really mad, just annoyed that heâd succeeded in persuading you to come.
âcâmon.. it wonât be so bad once youâre in there,â smoothing down his fresh shirt as he begins to walk up the winding path, dragging you along behind him.
heâs wrong. itâs so much worse inside. the place was huge, extravagantly decorated and full of people youâd once regarded as your best friends, all too busy in their own conversations to notice you and steve walk in.
it wasnât like you hadnât heard from them, it had just been through occasional letters and christmas cards rather than seeing them face to face. robin would call sometimes, fill you in on whatever she had been up to and beg to speak to ella who absolutely loved it. you were sure they were on the same wavelength.
you look to steve with wary eyes, digging your fingertips into his hand, âwe could just leave right now.. no one would even know,â tugging gently on his arm.
âhey,â he whispers, âitâs okay.. look, robinâs coming over, weâll say hi and see how you feel,â using his spare hand to wave at the bubbly girl, dropping your hand to give her a hug.
âoh my god,â she rushes, âhow are you? you look so good.. and i donât mean you,â pulling away from steve to throw her arms around you, her gentle hands rubbing on your back.
âhah, itâs nice to see you too,â steve rolls his eyes, grabbing two of the champagne flutes being ferried around by fancy waiters.
she pulls back, âi didnât think you were coming.. how are you doing? howâs ella?â the words falling out of her mouth at super speed, it was as if her mouth moved before her brain did.
âi wasnât gonna but i wanted to see you guys,â you nod, taking the glass from steveâs outstretched hand and taking a lengthy sip, âiâm okay.. ellaâs okay.. youâll have to come and see her before you leave.â
âi will i will! i literally landed like two hours ago and had to rush but iâm back until friday,â her hands flying around as she spoke, âcome and say hello..â her arm intertwines with yours as she leans in closer to your ear, âheâs staring yâknow..â
your eyes roll back on their own, not even wanting to search the room for him, âiâm not speaking to him so he can stare all he likes,â straightening up as you approach the group robin had left.
nancyâs talking to max about something in incredible detail but is quite to stop when you approach, mouth in a small âoâ as she hugs you, âyou came? i thought we were gonna miss you,â grinning wide when she pulls back.
you give an overdramatic sigh, âof course i had to come.. youâd all miss me too much,â waving to the rest of the group.
there are a lot of small pleasantries swapped, asking about their journeyâs here and how theyâd been.. standard small talk. but then el asks to see a picture of ella, ecstatic that their names were so similar. youâd come prepared, pulling the creased picture out of your bag.
they all gush and coo over her, it was a picture youâd snapped from her first day of kindergarten, cheesing with her pigtails and pink hair bobbles. passing it around the gathered group, still steadily sipping on the bitter champagne.
âwhoâs that?â eddie asks, you hadnât noticed him sidle over to the crowd, stood peering over lucasâ shoulder at the photograph.
your eyes meet his, seeing his face for the first time in what felt like centuries. he looked older, obviously, still sporting the same long curls except now it actually looked as if itâd been styled. heâs in a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, forearms now littered with tattoos and a nice looking watch. your heart just about stops beating when you realise youâll now have to explain exactly who that is.
âuh.. thatâs ella,â you nod, not quite meeting his eyes, â..my daughter,â taking the photo from lucasâ hand, the atmosphere had quite suddenly shifted and people begin to scatter, starting their own conversations so they donât have to bare witness to this one.
âoh.. oh, right.. well, congratulations then,â the shadow of a smile on his lips, could he feel how fucking awkward this was?
âthank you,â giving him a half nod, startled as steveâs hand brushes the small of your back. heâd seen that you were in conversation and had left dustin to fulfil his security guard promise.
âitâs nice that you two found each other.. you have a beautiful daughter,â still not fully committed to smiling but he was getting there.
your face contorts, immediately looking to steve before letting out a god awful cackle, âoh no.. sheâs not steveâs,â covering your mouth before another taunting laugh comes out.
steve is trying to stifle his grin but fails, reaching his hand out to shake eddieâs hand, âah man, no ellaâs not mine but she is beautiful, isnât she? how are you?â
youâre eternally grateful that he heâs managed to sway the conversation and you arenât forced to explain why or how youâd had a child with jason fucking carver. turning back to robin as you hear steve ramble on about work and corroded coffinâs new album, something you had absolutely no care about.
âshall we get another drink?â robin asks, eyeing the open bar and your empty glass.
âplease.â
the rest of the night is going.. relatively well. itâs kinda unsettling to watch the younger kids drink legally, getting more boisterous and loud as the night progresses. itâs nice, if not a little sad just thinking about how you werenât really able to enjoy yourself at their age because you had a newborn.
you mustâve been deep in thought as you donât even notice eddie creep up to the empty table, standing awkwardly besides your chair, âcan we talk?â
your eyes shoot up to meet his, baffled by his presence, âwhat could we possibly have to talk about?â
he exhales through his nose, âuh.. a lot? we donât have to do it here.. i have a room upstairs or.. outside?â
âno,â gripping onto your glass of wine, desperately trying to grab the attention of someone behind eddie to come and save you, âi donât want to speak to you.â
heâs exasperated, clutching onto his beer with strained white knuckles. how were you ever supposed to move past this when you wouldnât even give him the opportunity to explain himself. but that was exactly it. you didnât care about any of the silly excuses youâre sure heâd conjured up, he did what he did and that was that.
âiâm trying here..â sounding exasperated, âhow âbout dinner? sometime this week, on me,â his voice is deeper now, raspier. you figure as a result of constant partying and chain smoking while on tour.
âi have a child and a job.. i donât have time for dinner with you on top of that,â swallowing the rest of the sweet white wine, putting the empty glass back on the table with a forceful slam.
you make brief eye contact with will who was passing behind eddie and decide to take the opportunity to pounce, standing from your chair and rushing over the second he nears your table.
âwill.. hey,â speeding to catch him up, mouthing a small save me, clinging to his arm as you move away from eddie who was stood deflated at the table.
will thankfully catches your drift, steering you towards the bar, âyou okay? i was just about to leave..â placing his empty glass onto the bar with a soft sigh.
âwhat? no.. if i canât go then youâre not allowed either,â talking sternly to the boy even though he now towered above you and just about everybody else in here.
he screws up his face, looking over to the dance floor, âitâs just..â sighing once again, âawful, isnât it?â following his gaze to an intoxicated mike performing an elaborate air guitar routine in the middle of the floor.
it wasnât exactly the same, but you could empathise with the difficult situation and that foul feeling in your stomach that you were sure he could feel too. you could imagine that it wasnât easy to see the man youâd once, or perhaps still loved after so long. in fact, you didnât really need to imagine at all.
deciding it was better to change the subject, distract him from the unraveling scene on the dance floor, âdâyou smoke?â
he looks around quickly, watching out for a listening jonathan, you assume before he nods quickly, âbut no one can know,â a hint of a smile creeping onto his face.
you return the devilish grin before hooking your arm in his, pulling him towards the door where you could get the hell away from annoying men and their long black hair.
-
itâs gone three by the time you get back to steveâs, genuinely having to coax him from the party and into the cab youâd shared with a belligerent dustin, making sure he had got home safely.
âi wasnât too mean, was i?â snuggled up in steveâs blankets, facing each other in the low light of his room.
ânooo, no you were on fire,â he laughs, he was still tipsy and slightly reeking of booze as he lay next to you.
âreally? youâre sure?â he was definitely just drunk and blabbing on but youâd take it.
âyes.. it was perfect,â he hiccups, interrupting his sentence, âbuuut.. and iâm not the only one who said this so donât kill me..â kissing the back of his teeth, âyouâre not gonna like what i have to say.â
âwhat? what is it?â prodding his shoulder with a quick jab. knowing eddie, heâd probably gone round the party whispering some bullshit about the two of you.
âwell..â holding his hands in the air, âthereâs still chemistry there.. yâknow i could see it,â raising his eyebrows, hands collapsing onto the blanket.
âright, iâm going to sleep.. youâre drunk and just saying stupid shit now,â rolling your eyes as you settle into the soft pillow, closing your eyes so you no longer had to entertain his idiotic nonsense.
he chortles, hiccuping mid-laugh which makes a horrid choking noise, âiâm not that drunk.. robin said it too,â the lamp clicks off, darkening the room, âand dustin..â
âgo to sleep steve,â unamused and tired.
âokay okay.. goodnight,â he calls, you can hear the smile in his voice as he turns to face the other way, taking that as your opportunity to rest your head on his back, nuzzling into the soft cotton t-shirt.
-
monday is particularly awful and youâre reminded exactly why you donât drink often. two days on and youâre still exhausted, half-heartedly filling the shelves and just trying to make it to two oâclock.
in your tired state, one of the bottles of shampoo you were putting out, falls out of your hand and rolls off somewhere down the aisle. you sigh, a deep, fed-up, exhaustive sigh and get up to go and fetch it when the bottle appears before your face, a tattooed, ring-filled hand latched onto it.
âcarver? really?â eddie frowns, watching you from above, eyebrows furrowed together.
you place the bottle onto itâs rightful spot on the shelf and choose to ignore him. if heâd come all the way down here just to piss you off about your poor life choices then he could get fucked.
âwhenâd that happen?â
blanking him again as you continue to put stuff onto the shelves. this was the easiest way to guarantee that you werenât going to get yourself fired for being rude to him.
âyou gonna ignore me? i just wanna know,â still poking and prodding, he clearly wasnât very good at picking up on context clues.
nothing.
âfuck, can you just talk to me for five minutes?â your silence was driving him crazy, aggravating him to no end.
âiâm at work, so no,â hurriedly trying to finish the stock you had so you had an excuse to rush out the back and away from him.
he was fortunate that it was a quiet monday, the store full of mostly older ladies who had no idea who he was. you sorta hoped that heâd get mobbed and would have to hurry off and leave you alone.
âwhy jason? out of literally everyone else in this shithole you choose jason?â screwing his face up in disgust.
you slam the box cutter down with a loud clatter, causing a few turned heads and raised eyebrows. fuck âem. if you had done what youâd really wanted to do, youâd be locked up forever.
âi donât know if you remember this but my boyfriend of like, two years ran away and never came home so yeah.. that kinda fucked with me a little and lucky for me, jason carver was there and also hated my exâs guts.. so it was perfect, you know?â staring flatly at him, you were not dealing with his shit today.
eddie scoffs, âso you had a kid with him? and now.. what? you play happy families just to spite me? is that it?â
âyes eddie, i had a whole child just to piss you off.â
he gawps back at you, clearly also did not possess the ability to sense sarcasm.
âno,â scowling at him, âit was an accident and now heâs.. i dunno, coaching basketball at some school in ohio or some shit.. why donât you go and bother him?â
âso youâre not together?â
you can only roll your eyes in response, in sheer disbelief that heâd made such a fuss because he couldnât just outright ask if you were single.
un-fucking-believable.
youâve had just about enough of this conversation, pulling your little trolley back towards the swing doors that lead to the warehouse. at least he wasnât allowed in there.
âwait! wait..â he grabs onto the other side of the trolley, stopping you from walking off, âhave dinner with me tonight or.. tomorrow?â eyes big and pleading.
ânow why would i do that?â
âbecause i want to explain myself.. i need to.â
one of the younger shoppers notices who he is and begins trying to talk to him, coming over to where you two stood rather excitedly. eddie is kind enough to smile and give her a few polite words, eyes still latched onto yours despite the ecstatic woman beside him.
âokay,â honestly just wanting to get away from all this commotion, âtomorrow.â
his scowl subsides, replaced by a gleaming grin, âsix oâclock.. pinoâs, iâll sort it, okay?â already starting to walk away from the crazy woman.
âright,â you nod, pulling your trolley away and into the back warehouse, leaning against the concrete wall. the whole exchange was tiring, knocking whatever tiny bit of energy out of you.
were you actually gonna go?
absolutely fucking not.
-
by the time six rolls around the next night, you really had forgotten all about it. rushing to get ella her dinner after swimming lessons, already worrying about paying for yet another field trip sheâd sprung on you earlier. youâd begun to wonder if they even taught in the classrooms anymore with the amount of permission slips she brought home.
sheâs finally settled into bed, after much protesting and a lot of coaxing. youâre just about to finally relax on the couch when someone hammers on your front door. and if you werenât already pissed off with ellaâs whining, you were most definitely about to be with whichever mindless prick was banging on your door.
âwhat do you want?â you hiss, jerking the door open to reveal a pathetic looking eddie on the other side, face forlorn and dejected.
heâs in that white shirt again. it makes you sick to your stomach to admit that it really does look good on him. his arms now more defined, the cotton sticking to his muscles, briefly showcasing the new tattoos underneath. maybe heâd actually got off of his ass and did something other than smoke weed all day.
âoh so you are alive, dâyou forget about something?â heâs snarling now, having conjured up some elaborate excuse in his head as to why you hadnât showed, only to find you at home, seemingly with no care in the world.
âoops,â the corners of your mouth twitching into a smile, you hadnât even actually meant to stand him up, you were just gonna call his hotel and cancel but the thought had just completely slipped your mind.
and even if it shouldnât, it really did feel good. knowing he was the one sat waiting for you for once.
âoops? i sat there for an hour waiting for you and then spent the last hour trying to convince dustin to give me your fucking address.. and all you can say is oops?â
you shrug, âfeels pretty shitty to be forgotten about, doesnât it?â tilting your head, watching as his face falls. heâd been got.
âokay.. okay, i get it, and iâm sorry.. thereâs not a day that goes by that i donât feel like shit for how i treated you,â his head dips low, looking particularly sorry for himself.
and for a second you do too. not that he deserved it. quickly having to remind yourself exactly what he had done to you, which was not at all helped by the fact that he now had everything heâd ever wanted in life.
and you couldnât fault your life. truly. but fuck did it sting sometimes, to know that your life had stagnated, stuck in the same shitty town youâd grown up in while he was on the other side of the country, more money than sense and a hoard of doting fans that would do absolutely anything heâd ask of them.
âgood,â you bark, going to slam the door shut only for it to bang against his black boot wedged in the door, âif you donât move your foot iâll- iâll call the police.â
âno you wonât,â his hand reaches out to grab onto the other side of the handle, he couldâve easily pushed his way in if heâd really wanted, âletâs talk.. like adults,â begging you now, âplease.â
you huff, this would end with you either letting him in or being forced to wake ella after you bashed his head into the doorframe. it was easier to just accept the first option and youâd find some bullshit to get him to leave later on.
opening the door wider to let him in, keeping your eyes square on the ground as he walks through, peering around at your home. probably comparing it to his mansion in the hollywood hills the pretentious fuck.
ânice..â he nods, leaning in to look at the photo of you and ella a few christmasâ ago, she was tiny then, sporting a miniature santa hat.
âyeah well, sheâs asleep upstairs so.. make it quick,â you frown, closing the door behind him, watching as his eyes take in the cluttered room, smile fading when he catches sight of the singular picture you have up of jason and ella.
âi canât believe you chose to fuck jason of all people.. i mean, iâve made some shitty decisions in my life but..â he stops himself from going any further when he sees your face, if looks could kill, heâd be long gone by now.
âdid you come here for a reason? or are you here to talk about my life decisions.. because i really donât want to hear it from you,â crossing your arms over your chest, wanting him out of your house.
âno.. no, shit- iâm sorry,â he shuffles on his feet, banging his head, âi wanna talk.. properly.â
you roll your hand to motion for him to continue, âgo on..â
he inhales, chewing on the inside of his cheek, trying to psyche himself up to actually say what he wanted to say. it wasnât that he didnât know what to say, he just couldnât string it together to make sense.
âiâm sorry for the way i treated you.. it wasnât right and i know that now,â his hand coming to rub the back of his clammy next, why was your house so fucking hot?
âokay.. apology accepted, was that everything?â you say flatly, glancing up the stairs to make sure ella wasnât awake and out of her room.
his face falls, âcan you just.. just let me explain,â his adam apple bobbing as he swallows, âwhy donât you sit down..â motioning towards your ratty couch.
you relent your stern stature, hesitantly going to sit on the couch, trying to ensure that he couldnât possibly sit next to you by sprawling your legs out onto the empty cushion. so he takes the seat furthest away, running his hands down his tight jeans. designer, no less.. the only person you knew stupid enough to spend thousands on designer jeans just to tear holes in them.
âwhen i ended things with you, i wasnât.. well, it was me, but i had my manager screaming in my ear that itâd never work and he could hook me up with some fuckinâ model.. itâd help the band.. so thatâs what i did,â and for once, he looked genuinely remorseful, fiddling with the loose threads on his expensive jeans.
âso you sold out? thatâs your excuse?â
his head shoots up, mouth hung open with absolute disgust all over his face, âi am not a sell out.â
which is incredibly refutable, youâd heard a snippet of one of their recent songs on the radio at work and it had sounded exactly like the commercial shit he used to rag on when you were together. not a touch on the corroded coffin you sat and watched practice for hours on end.
âoh? so you didnât break up with me to further your career? you just wanted to fuck hot models? which one is it âcause iâm a little confused here,â completely losing it, springing up from your slouched position.
âokay, yeah.. yeah i did, i broke up with you because i wanted to fuckinâ make something of my life.. and look at where i am and look at-,â
â-donât you dare finish that sentence,â you snap, gritting your teeth together as you near his face, positively shaking with rage.
âwhatâre you gonna do? you gonna hit me? do it,â his chin tilted to match your elevated position, eyes glued to yours.
âi should.â
his lips twitch into a smirk, âyou wonât.â
and before your brain has the time to really process your next movements, he balls his fist into your t-shirt, causing your chest to collide into his as his lips smash into yours, knocking the air out of your lungs.
scrambling to find his shoulders for balance, sliding one hand onto his stubbly cheek. itâs all teeth and tongues, heâs ravenous and unrelenting, letting go of his grip on your shirt to place his hands on your hips, âmove,â mumbling against your lips as he attempts to manoeuvre you onto his lap while twisting around.
he slides down the couch, keeping a solid hold of your body as you find the right position. your legs are either side of his waist, sliding into the gap between his body and the couch sitting right on his crotch. wasting absolutely zero time in connecting your lips against, honestly not wanting to run the risk of him opening his mouth and ruining this.
his large hands find solace on your ass, creeping up to remove the oversized shirt youâd thrown on. you place your hand above his, restricting him from moving any further. itâs not that you were embarrassed- okay, maybe you were a little. but your body had changed since becoming a mom and eddie had become accustomed to gorgeous models and perfect women that heâd certainly not want to see your boring, frumpy mom body.
he groans in protest, trying again to lift the shirt further only for your fingernails to dig into his hand, âno,â speaking into the filthy kiss.
eddie pulls away from the kiss, fingers coming to gently brush the hair from your face, âyou canât be serious? iâve seen it all before,â he grumbles, fingers itching to try lift it again.
ânot like this you havenât.. i just.. want it on, okay?â
âno- why wonât you let me take this off?â fingers curling around the hem, already trying his luck with getting it up again.
you sigh, meeting his blown out eyes with your glossy ones, âi donât even know what iâm doing.. fuck,â attempting to climb off of his lap while the spare hand he has on your ass clamps you down, keeping you pressed to him.
âhey.. hey, keep it on.. i donât care,â already trying to chase your lips, âiâm just saying, you donât need to,â the denim covering his growing erection starting to rub against your throbbing clit, the sparse material of your pajama shorts were not leaving much to the imagination.
âjesus christ, just take it off,â giving up in your protest, it was useless against eddieâs persistence.
you press your lips to his the second your shirt is off, there was no time to judge your body if he couldnât see it. pulling at his jacket to get it off, the metal buttons digging into your now bare skin.
âi didnât.. i didnât mean.. what i said..â babbling through the kiss as he shimmies out of the jacket, landing on the floor with a soft thud.
âshut up,â you whine, running your hand along the length of his chest until you reach the hem of his black shirt, gripping your fingers around the fabric and lifting it slightly, exposing his midriff, the soft trail of hair ascending the skin.
his head jerks backwards, allowing you to tug the shirt off, finally allowing his eyes to wander to your chest. âholy shit,â he remarks like heâd never seen a pair of tits before. itâs futile for him to pretend that he hadnât seen some amazing boobs in his time so you scoff, rolling your eyes.
working your hand at his belt buckle, fiddling with the metal until it pops undone. heâs hard already and it makes you groan, brushing your hand over the raised denim. this week seriously mustâve been difficult if he was getting hard so easily over you.
it doesnât ever occur to you how much of a mistake this was. and even if it did, you didnât have much time to ponder on it as his hands are grabbing at your breasts, palming them as his lips suck at your jaw and down onto your neck softly. guaranteed to leave a lovely violet mark that the old ladies at work would certainly gasp at.
heâs helping you with his jeans, one hand gripping onto your waist to keep you steady as he lifts his hips from the couch and the other hurriedly yanking them down just enough to reveal his boxers. thatâs the next port of call, fingers grabbing at the thin black cotton, pulling them down his thighs as his cock springs into action.
eddieâs lips are still on your neck while you mindlessly wrap your hand around his cock, pumping your fist as you shuffle upwards. his breath hitches in his throat, still peppering sloppy kisses to the sensitive skin.
âoh god,â he whines into your collarbone, feeling his eyelashes flutter against your jaw. for a man who had been painted as womaniser in the media, he sure was still just as pathetic as he used to be underneath you.
youâre a little annoyed that itâs you whoâs taking control right now. after so many years of disrespect from his end, you think he at least owed it to you to take charge.
your hand grabs onto his shoulder, pulling his face from your neck, âbe quiet, okay?â sitting taller to position yourself comfortably, the harsh fabric of the couch grazing your knees.
he nods, sliding his hand up your waist and back to your hip, taking in the sight of you. you wouldnât ever admit it aloud, but truthfully, you really did miss him sometimes. missed the way his pretty pink lips looked after being glued to yours or the way he gazed at you doing the most mundane tasks.
you cant your hips, sinking down onto his length slowly, biting down onto your bottom lip as his cock fills you to the hilt. his eyelids flicker, fingernails digging into your doughy hips. itâs been a little while since youâd done this so you have to take a second to become accustomed to the slight stretch. itâs good, in the most masochistic way.
your hands cling onto his shoulders, watching his slack jaw, tiny breaths escaping from his mouth as you attempt to move. painstakingly slow at first, knees beginning to shake as you try to remember what you should even be doing. your cheeks flushing, feeling so incredibly embarrassed. the man was fucking models and then youâre here, pitifully trying to ride him. itâs awful, you know itâs awful.
his arm comes to snake around your waist, taking matters into his own hands and flipping the two of you around, your back suddenly pressed into the couch. holy shit. you appreciate the initiative, wrapping your legs around his waist, readjusting your grip on his shoulders.
âneed you a little faster than that darling,â large hands digging into the couch either side of your head. youâd feel utterly mortified if you werenât thoroughly enjoying the sight of him looming over you, his hair falling beautifully into your face.
eddie starts slow at first, moving his hips slowly, obviously well versed. your mouth opens but no noise escapes, well aware that you werenât the only ones in your house. instead you pant softly, desperate for his lips to grace yours again.
itâs not long before heâs quickening his pace, unable to contain himself when you feel so perfect around him. âi missed you- fuck, iâve missed you so much,â he groans, keeping his voice low despite wanting to start screaming.
you donât reply, too fucked-out to even think about words. eyes drooping as his cock nudges against the soft spongy spot no one other than him had been able to reach.
the couch creaks beneath you, the old thing unable to keep up with his rutting hips, the top of your head knocking into the arm rest every time his hips collided with yours. your living room had never bore witness to such filth and as quiet as you were trying to be, the sounds are indistinguishable.
having to bite down onto your lip when his thumb meets your clit, legs tightening around his waist with every soft circle he draws around the sensitive bud. eddie was never bad in bed but holy shit, maybe money had done something right for him.
he sits up, soft sighs falling out of his lips as his hand disconnects from your clit, sliding toward your knee and positioning your leg onto his shoulder. your nails press into his forearm, willing yourself to stay quiet even now heâs seemingly trying to kill you.
and through it all, heâs smirking. relishing the way youâre writhing around, trying not to cum when he nudges against that sweet, spongy spot this position allowed.
his thumb finds your clit again, âholy shit sweetheart.. you gonna cum?â grunting softly with every thrust.
youâre positively wrecked beneath him, face pressed into the couch cushion as your stomach flips. panting into the fabric, incoherent ramblings of eddieâs name and a bunch of curse words fill the room.
âcum for me baby.. shit,â struggling to keep his own pace as you tighten around him, leg trembling around his neck as your orgasm takes over. pleasure overtaking your limbs as your hips buck instinctively, thankfully muffled by the couch.
âoh my god,â you breathe, struggling to see straight when your eyes eventually reopen, gazing up at eddie above, certain heâs about to draw blood from his teeth digging in to his lip.
âwhere.. where shall i- shit,â he squeezes out, feeling his hips begin to stutter, eyes rolling to the back of his head. heâs just about quick enough to pull out, thick ropes of cum paint your thighs. narrowly avoiding the couch.
if you had the energy to get annoyed, you wouldâve snapped, but in all honesty, your brain was still reeling and anger was the last thing you felt.
eddie reaches over, ever the gentleman and grabs his shirt to clean his mess. didnât matter to him obviously, he had more than enough money to buy another.
and there it is. the bitterness filling your body again the second heâs no longer on top of you, or inside of you rather. you attempt to bite it down.
âyou wanna talk now?â he asks, pulling his boxers back up to a more respectable position.
âiâm tired eddie,â and you are, on a school night like tonight youâd have been fast asleep by now.
he sighs, shoulders slumping over. even after youâd just had the most mind-altering sex, you couldnât speak to him. âplease,â pleading with you almost, desperate for one more chance.
maybe itâs the exhaustion or maybe the dopamine still pumping through your brain but you concede, pulling your shirt back over your head before motioning for him to speak.
âi donât have any excuses, iâm just-,â he sighs, turning on the couch to face you fully, âiâm sorry for hurting you, i was wrong and i know that,â his eyes are dipped, peering at you from underneath his spindly lashes, âwhy dâyou think iâve avoided this place for so long?â
âi donât know? because youâre a pussy? because youâre too scared to face me?â letting the words rattle off your tongue without much thought.
âbecause iâm embarrassed,â he corrects, without much offence, âbecause iâm ashamed and feel like i owe you more than some dick and a shitty apology.. i just didnât know how i could ever make it up to you,â half-moon eyes glossy in the low light.
your heart thumps in your chest, blood echoing through your ears. eddie munson, world renowned rockstar was sat on your couch, apologising for something you shouldâve forgotten about a long time ago.
the years of hatred and avoidance come tumbling down in a millisecond. all youâd ever wanted was to hear him say sorry. to admit that heâd fucked you over for a life of fame and now you had it, you werenât exactly sure what to even do with it.
âokay.. now what? are you gonna make it up to me? because i want to believe you eddie, i do.. but you canât just traipse in here and expect me to forgive you like that,â the tears roll over, sliding down your warm cheeks.
he nods, grabbing onto your hands in a last ditch gesture to show his sincerity, âiâm going to.. i-i want to,â heâs still nodding, bringing his face closer to yours, âtell me how, iâll do anything,â adamâs apple bobbing with every word.
âstay here,â your eyes are trained on him, ignoring the blurred vision, ânot forever, just for now,â lips pursed, ready to be broken once more.
you half-expect him to come out with some sorry excuse, tell you he had to get back to his hotel so he couldnât possible stay here.
but he doesnât.
eddie takes your hand, tugging it gently and with words you donât register, babbles something about bed. so you follow him, allowing him to guide you to your room and slide in between the sheets next to you.
everything is so gentle, soft and pure. something you hadnât felt in a long time.
-
âhey.. sweetheart,â eddieâs hand gently shakes your arm, whispering into your ear, âyou awake?â
you squint in the dim light, feeling his hand descend onto your waist, chest pressed against your back, âi am now,â you grumble, it was early.. early even by ellaâs standards.
âi gotta go.. you got work today?â he asks, making no effort to actually get up and leave your bed though.
you nod into the pillow, rubbing your sleep heavy eyes. in your sleep hazed state, you shuffle, moving backwards against him.
âokay.. shit- donât do that,â strained as you shift against him, unknowingly brushing against his cock, âiâll be back.. after you..â heâs losing it a little now, âafter you finish..â lips pressed to your ear.
you were moving deliberately now, just ever-so-slightly rocking your hips back and forth, you could feel him growing against your ass.
âi canât..â he groans, grip tightening on your hip,
âplease,â you breathe, reaching backwards to find his mop of curls, taking a fistful for leverage as his own hipâs thrust into your backside, his low growls only spurring you on.
you had been on your own for so long now, could he really blame you?
eddie doesnât leave for another hour, creeping out of your house with his head low and a shit eating grin plastered on his face.
-
the key turns in your door as youâre loading the dishwasher. youâd given steve a spare for emergencies but it seemed to get used for anything but.
he slinks into the kitchen where you stand with your back to him, âhey,â already knowing who it was.
âwell hello,â announcing his presence, something about his tone of voice already seemed off, he sounded short, annoyed almost, âhow have you been?â
âiâm good..â you spin to face him, puzzled by his strange demeanour, âhow are you?â
heâs holding onto something behind his back but you canât quite catch a glimpse, âactually.. iâm a little pissed off,â you can tell heâs not completely serious by the hint of a smile on his face.
âhmm? whyâs that?â
he looks around the room expectedly, âoh i donât know.. you donât have anything to tell me, do you?â shaking his head, still gripping onto this mystery object.
âno..â narrowing your eyes, determining whether he knew what you thought he knew.
he did, he one hundred percent did. holy fuck. heâd figured you out already. eddie had opened his big, stupid mouth and told dustin, who wouldâve told steve and god knows who else. fucking moron.
âno? soo..â his pulls the magazine from behind his back, flipping it to the page heâd already saved, âthis isnât real then?â shoving the glossy pages into your face, âbecause to me.. this looks an awful lot like eddie.. at this very house,â he jabs his finger at the pixelated image, âand this little blob here.. thatâs you, no?â
youâre utterly gobsmacked. mouth hung open in pure shock. because that most definitely was eddie.. and your house.. and you. you hadnât seen anyone with a camera, hell, you hadnât seen anyone on the street at all.
âand correct me if iâm wrong, but is this not our friend eddie leaving your house the next morning?â showing the next image of him leaving your house the day after, hair unruly and messed up, holding his denim jacket in his arms as he climbs into his car.
your mouth moves but no words come out, croaking as you struggle to meet steveâs eyes. completely speechless, there was no feasible excuse. you had been caught with your pants down. literally.
âi can explain,â waving your hands around while steve stands smug against the kitchen counter. â..no i canât,â shoulders slumped as you blink at your best friend, no you really couldnât. suppose you couldâve come up with some lie about a look-a-like youâd been seeing but that wouldâve made you look particularly strange.
âwere you ever gonna tell me?â heâs almost hurt that you hadnât ran to him to tell him immediately. this was true best friend gossip and youâd kept him from it.
âi was! steve.. i donât even know what happened- he came over to apologise and then we were arguing and then.. then we had sex and itâs not my fault..â youâre trying, and failing, to contain your smile, flashing your cheeky grin to your best friend in the hopes he would let this slide.
âi canât believe you didnât tell me!â jutting his bottom lip out, âso, youâre getting back together?â his eyes sceptical yet sparkling with a sense of hope. youâre grateful that all he seems to care about is the fact you lied. or actually, withheld the truth as you preferred it.
âno.. well.. no, we had dinner together yesterday and he mightâve stayed over but no..â shaking your head, âheâs leaving again soon and we both know what happened last time..â you shrug, leaning back against the counter, âi guess i donât hate him now, thatâs good isnât it?â
steve looks perplexed, âwait wait wait.. so youâre just.. screwing around? and then he leaves again, thatâs it? whatâs the point?â taking a seat at the small kitchen table, fully engrossed in the conversation.
âi dunno.. i guess thatâs it?â you hadnât really thought about the fact that heâd be leaving again, in fact, you hadnât really had time to think much at all about what was happening.
youâd just sort of acknowledged that at some point heâd go back to california and youâd stay here and whatever was happening would.. end? it wasnât as if you were going to be super upset about it like you once were. lots of people fuck their exâs.. this was fine.
because thatâs what this is, right?
just sex with an ex?
âthatâs it?â steve reiterates, looking completely flabbergasted that the woman who once left the room whenever eddie munsonâs name was mentioned was now being so casual about this.
âyeah,â you shrug, not wanting to make a massive deal out of it though you could always rely on steve to be over dramatic on your behalf.
âno,â he straightens up in the chair, âall of this canât be for nothing,â sounding utterly exasperated, âyou two obviously belong together so why donât you go for it? i could see you living it up out in la.. big house, big car-,â
you cut him off before he can divulge into his delusions any further, âi think youâre getting ahead of yourself steve,â shaking your head at his ludicrous attitude.
youâd be lying if you said you hadnât thought about it once or twice but it seemed silly to start imagining this crazy life together after all these years. heâd barely just made it into your good graces again, you were hardly going to run off to california with him. it was utter delusion.
âokay okay..â he scoffs, âbut i still think you need to talk to him. i donât want you getting hurt again, okay? just make sure that youâre both on the same page,â nodding as he stands from his seat and begins to rummage through your cupboards for something to eat.
he was probably right and you knew it deep down. you werenât keen on being the one to bring the conversation up, not after that first night. after you had sobbed in his arms in bed, letting him soothe you to sleep with a bunch of probable empty promises.
-
when eddie lets himself into your house a few hours later, steveâs eyebrows fly up his forehead but he doesnât say a word. instead, he nods at the man, keeping his opinions to himself.
the pair of you resemble an old married couple, except youâre the grumpy old man with your wife cuddled into your side. your wife being steve that is.
âoh.. is this uh, something that happens often?â eddie asks, settling into the empty chair across from you. slightly miffed that steve was nestled into your side.
âyup,â you nod, smiling at him your chin resting on steveâs head. he hadnât a reason to be jealous, youâd really rather poke your eyeballs out with a fork than do anything remotely sexual with steve.
âright.. yeah okay,â eddie says, looking perplexed but sitting back in the chair. if he was going to stick around then this would have to be something that he got used to. because you sure as hell werenât going to stop being so close with steve for the guy that broke your heart at eighteen.
âyou want a drink?â you ask, realising that you should probably be a good host even if it was only eddie.
âyeah sure.â
you untangle yourself from steve and trundle off into the kitchen. steve takes this as the perfect opportunity to grill eddie on his intentions, sitting up straight and making sure that you were really gone before beginning his interrogation.
âso.. you two?â
eddie shrugs, not wanting to get into it with steve after such a long day.
steve sighs, leaning toward eddie, âiâm gonna say this once.. but if you hurt her again, i will kill you,â staring the other man down. contempt in his eyes. he was dead serious too.
âiâm not- iâm not gonna hurt her,â eddie sits up, praying that youâd hurry back with this damn drink.
âi mean it eddie,â raising his eyebrows, âyou didnât see how she was after you left.. iâm not going through that again, iâm not letting her go through that again.â
âsteve-,â eddie blinks, stopping himself as you re-enter the room. hoping that you hadnât heard their conversation, heâd only just got you to stop hating him. he wasnât prepared to go back to that like, ever.
âwhatâre you talking about?â placing the bottle of beer in front of eddie and collapsing back into your spot on the couch.
âfootball,â steve answers quickly, groaning as he pushes himself off of the sofa, âiâm gonna head home, got work in the morning but iâll see you tomorrow,â he smiles, winking at you from above.
âokay,â you utter, sounding more like a question than a statement, watching carefully as he gathers his things without so much as a glance at eddie. you can only imagine what was actually said but that was truly none of your business.
youâd just grill eddie later to make sure steve hasnât been too much of an asshole.
âbyee,â you call out behind him, already eyeing a sheepish eddie. thisâd probably be it. youâd known it was coming at some point, you just werenât sure of when.
if steveâs sudden departure was anything to go off, you were probably right.
the door clicks shut and you turn your attention to eddie who was still sat on the solemn chair. oh god. maybe you had got a little used to having him around again and now to know that itâd all be coming to an abrupt end once again.. yeah you felt a tad shit.
âwhatâd you say?â you ask outright, it made zero sense to beat around the bush.
âme?â he looks almost offended, âi didnât say shit.. didnât get the chance to,â but heâs smiling ever so slightly and your heart relaxes.
christ you were so stupid. letting him back into your life just to let him walk away a second time. perhaps youâd done something horrific in a past life to deserve this same fate twice.
âso what did he say?â you press, unsure of if your even wanted the answer.
eddie sighs before coming to collapse on the couch next to you, âit wasnât important.. look, i wanna be honest with you,â his hand comes to grab yours and you freeze, bracing yourself for what was inevitably going to come next. âyou mean a lot to me and.. and i donât want you to think that i donât care or that iâm just leaving you again,â his eyes are focussed on yours, full of what you hope is sincerity.
you donât reply, instead you nod slightly and urge him to continue. this was it. the kicker. ïżŒ
âiâve gotta go back to la next week,â his grip tightens around your hand, âbut iâm coming back as soon as i can, okay?â heâs serious too and youâd like to believe him but if the past was anything to go by, you werenât eager.
you nod silently. fuck this. once again, you were sat before eddie munson, listening to his plans to jet off to la. it felt like the cruelest case of deja-vu. if anything, you want to kick yourself for even allowing him to wiggle his way back into your heart. most people know better after the first time.
âitâs three weeks.. maybe a month, but iâm coming back, i promise,â he pleads, hanging his head low. he knows thereâs absolutely nothing he could say to you that would make you believe him but he had to try.
you hum, frowning just a little before finally replying, âiâve heard that before,â not meaning to sound as snarky as you did, but it was true.
âiâm serious, iâm not.. not gonna lose you again, iâve learnt my lesson,â his eyes are big and pleading and youâre thrown right back to being eighteen, listening to him convince you how going to la would be the best decision.
âso.. what? youâre gonna come back to hawkins just to see me? i donât-,â you sigh, as much as you wanted to believe him, it just wasnât plausible in your mind, âi just donât understand, are we together or are you just coming back to fuck? you donât have to, you know? iâve made peace with it all and iâm fine.. you donât have to lie to me anymore.â
if anyone was going to fuck this up, it would be you. thatâs for certain.
âwhat the fuck?â he exclaims, genuinely flabbergasted, âthis is me telling you that iâm serious about this.. about you,â he takes your hand into his properly, scooting around to face you fully, âi love being here with you, and ella and there is nothing out in la worth more than this,â you think he might just start crying, or you might. or perhaps both of you.
you sniff, not wanting to speak in fear of bursting into hysterics. it was all just so confusing and weird. youâd grown accustomed to eddie being on the other side of the country and now suddenly he was back in your life with what seemed like a a declaration of love. it was just too much to handle. and maybe you blame yourself a little, for not truly thinking about the implications of fucking your ex that had abandoned you years prior. but now it all just seemed to be hurtling in the most intense direction.
you were the one that had told him to stay after all. because really, you couldâve kicked him out, refused to ever even acknowledge him again. but you hadnât.
âare you telling me the truth?â is all that you manage to squeak out. baring resemblance to a small child.
you really mustâve looked pathetic, eyes brimming with tears, bottom lip quivering as you hold in the implosion of emotions. itâs always scary being vulnerable with someone, let alone someone that once meant so much to you.
he still did. as much as youâre absolutely petrified to admit it, heâd weaselled his way back into your heart and now here you are, a mess of emotions and perplexing feelings that are too complicated to handle.
âi promise you,â he sighs, clearly fed up of your whining, âiâm coming back this time.â
and maybe youâre stupid. maybe youâre still hung up on some high school relationship that ended long ago but you canât help it, you nod.
idiotically believing him because what else can you do after letting him into your home and your heart again.

Make You Sweat // Jimmy Uso x Reader

The way Jim looked at WarGames?! MY GODDD đ€€ also whyâs this gif an hour long⊠anywayssss hereâs a lil Jimmy smut to get yâall through, as always happy reading!!
Plot -> Itâs getting hot in here⊠and not just from the sauna.Â
Pairings -> Jimmy Uso x Fem!Reader (Y/N)
Warnings -> Cursing, Public Sex, P in V, Creampie, Not Proofread, MDNI
Word Count -> 1.5k
â13⊠14⊠15âŠâ You relaxed, releasing the pulldown bar and catching your breath. The workout playlist you had on echoed through your headphones as you focused on the rise and fall of your chest, sweat dripping from you as you got up from the bench and wiped down your equipment. Usually after doing your workout you would go straight home, but today you decided to do something different. You had been meaning to use the new sauna your gym had installed, but never really had the motivation to try it out. Today was different- you were in the mood to sweat a little bit more, so you removed your pump cover and placed it with your gym bag and walked to the sauna. Approaching the door you realized the dial had already been turned on. Great⊠another person in here to make awkward ass small talk with. You sighed before opening the door, the steam and heat immediately smacking you in the face. A manâs voice chuckled in front of you and you looked up to see the source. He was hot, and not just from the sauna. He was toned for sure, his light brown skin glistening from sweat as he sat staring at you⊠adorned only with a towel around his waist. âO-oh my god, Iâm so sorry, I-â you turned to exit the steam room, embarrassed for walking in on him.Â
âDonât be, youâre good, ma,â your stomach fluttered as his husky voice uttered the pet name. âFirst time?â
âY-yeah,â you stuttered as he stared at you. âMânot too familiar with how these things work. Didnât know you could be naked in these things.â You blushed, looking at your feet. He chuckled at your nervousness.
âI got a towel on, but I can get naked if you want me toâŠâ your eyes widen as he lets out a deep laugh. âIâm kidding, Iâm kidding. But yeah, you can wear anything in here. Gym clothes, a towel, nothing, just kinda depends on how comfortable you are, I guess.âÂ
âGood to knowâŠâ you hesitated, realizing you didnât know his name.
âJonathan, but call me Jon.â Jon smiled at you and stuck his hand out to shake.
âY/N, itâs nice to meet you.â You accepted his hand and a series of goosebumps spread across your body as you touched. A shiver ran down your spine at the contact, making you gasp. Why the fuck is he so damn fine? You retract your hand quickly, sitting down on the bench next to him. A smirk spreads across his face as he eyes you closely, watching how frazzled you look from the simple interaction. He takes you in from his peripherals, watching the sweat that glazed your skin trickle down your body as you close your eyes and rest your head on the wall of the sauna. You intrigued him- he wanted to know more about you. Who you are, what your likes and dislikes are, but most importantly⊠he wanted to learn each and every curve that adorned your body. He adjusted his towel, feeling himself grow hard underneath it and attempted to conceal it enough for you to not notice.Â
The two of you sat in silence for a few minutes, the tension in the air thicker than the steam inside. Your minds were clouded with the other, both playing a chess match in your heads to determine who would act first. You open your eyes to his staring right back at you, not budging even after he had gotten caught red-handed.Â
âWhatchu lookinâ at?â You speak up, taking your lip between your teeth as you continue to watch him.
âWhatchu think Iâm lookinâ at, huh?âÂ
âWhat, I got somethinâ on my face?â You teased.
âNah, just seeinâ somethinâ I like,â he looks up and down your body and licks his lips, making sure you see him do it. âSomethinâ I want⊠bad.â
âWhatâs stopping you, hmm?â You turn your body towards his, looking directly into his eyes. âIf you want it so bad, why donât you come get it?â
He growls, pulling you on top of him as he presses his lips to yours. You moan into the kiss, wrapping your arms around his neck as you grind your hips into his. His lips massage yours with a fiery hunger, desperation even, as his hands find your ass and grabs the plump flesh with his hands.Â
âBaby girl, mânot gonna lie tâya,â he breathes out in between kisses, âIâm tryna fuck you right here right now⊠we can save the foreplay for after I take you out tonight.â
âWho said you were taking me to dinner?â Your nails raked across his chest, causing Jon to throw his head back as you continued to rub your front on his. He gives your ass a harsh smack, a mix of pain and pleasure coursing through you as you moan out his name.Â
âDonât play wâme, Iâm takinâ your fine ass to dinner after this. No way Iâm letting you get away that quick. Now take these shits off and sit on this dick, baby.â You climb off of him, slowly backing up for him to get a clear view before ridding yourself of your sports bra you were wearing before turning around and hooking your fingers in the waistband of your shorts. You drag the material down your legs, bending over and giving Jon a good view of your wet folds. He moans at the sight, nearly coming undone just looking at you.Â
âFuck, Y/N, so fuckinâ pretty. You gonâ fuck around and make me put a fuckinâ baby in you if you keep that shit up.â You whine at his words and kick your clothes to the side, turning around to face him.Â
âAnd if you keep fuckinâ around talkinâ to me like that, I might just letcha.â You wink at him before climbing back on top of him, spitting in your hand and stroking his cock as you line him up with your entrance. You tease his cock through your folds, his hands gripping your backside once again attempting to guide you onto him. You loved how desperate he was to be inside you, and who were you to deprive him of what he wants? You slowly guide yourself down his shaft, gripping his shoulders and throwing your head back as you lower yourself further onto his shaft. Big was an understatement; he was so big that you damn near felt him in the pit of your stomach, and he was thick enough to stretch you out in all the right ways. Your pussy fit him like a glove, and damn, it felt good.
You grinded on him, your hips moving rhythmically against his as soft pants and moans fell from your lips. Your eyes were glued shut as you reveled in the feeling of his dick making you feel so good despite barely doing anything at all. You accelerated your movements against him, lifting your hips and sinking back down until you were bouncing on his cock. You used his muscular shoulders as leverage while you fucked yourself on him, throwing your head back as pleasure took over. He leaned forward and began planting wet kisses along your jaw, grunting against your skin as he left trails of his presence along your skin.
âS-shitt, s-so fuckinâ good.â âYeah, feels good donât it, baby? Shit, turn around fâme real quick.â You pull out of him and straddle him backwards, pressing your chest to his as he pushes himself back inside you. You moan loudly, resting your head on his shoulder as he drives up into you. His mouth finds your neck again and continues where he left off. âO-oh my god⊠fuck, Jon-â âI know baby, I know. Iâm almost there, hold it.â You whine in response as his free hand finds your clit, rubbing slow circles while his other hand massages your breast. You feel him everywhere, a feeling you donât want to give up. The sensation of Jon leaving not an inch of your body untouched makes your pussy tighten around him as he grunts in your ear. âMmm, do that shit again, ma⊠you takinâ me so well. Look so good all fucked out fâme, fuck-â âJon, I-â âImma fill this pretty pussy up, you hear me? You gonâ walk outta here with my nut drippinâ down your thighs, you want that?â You moan loudly in response. âShit, baby, go âhead and get yours. Make a mess all over this dickâŠâ You whimper out his name and he presses his lips to yours, muffling your cries as you cum around him. Your body convulses in his arms and your vision goes white as he fucks his cum into you, cumming as you do. His thrusts slow as you ride your highs, coming back down as you both catch your breath.Â
âSo.. dinner? Whatchu in the mood for?â
âShit, Iâm down for whateverâŠâ Jon mumbles, âas long as I get you for dessert.â

Beltane is mentioned in the earliest Irish literature and is associated with important events in Irish mythology. Also known as Cétshamhain ('first of summer'), it marked the beginning of summer & was when cattle were driven out to the summer pastures. Rituals were performed to protect cattle, people & crops, and to encourage growth. (Today, Witches who observe the Wheel of the Year celebrate Beltane as the height of Spring.)
Special bonfires were kindled, whose flames, smoke & ashes were deemed to have protective powers. The people and their cattle would walk around or between bonfires & sometimes leap over the flames or embers. All household fires would be doused & then re-lit from the Beltane bonfire.
These gatherings would be accompanied by a feast, and some of the food and drink would be offered to the aos sĂ. Doors, windows, byres and livestock would be decorated with yellow May flowers, perhaps because they evoked fire.
In parts of Ireland, people would make a May Bush: typically a thorn bush or branch decorated with flowers, ribbons, bright shells & rushlights. Holy wells were also visited, while Beltane dew was thought to bring beauty & maintain youthfulness.
âą The aos sĂ (often referred to as spirits or fairies) were thought to be especially active at Beltane. Like Samhain, which lies directly opposite from Beltane on the Wheel of the Year, this was seen as a time when the veil between worlds was at its thinnest. At Samhain the veil between the worlds of the living & the dead is thin enough that we can connect & convene with our beloved dead, here at Beltane itâs the veil between the human world, and the world of faeries & nature spirits that has grown thin. Offerings would be left at the ancient faerie forts, the wells and in other sacred places in an effort to appease these nature spirits to ensure a successful growing season.
Some believe this is when The Goddess is now the Mother & the God is seen as the Green Man or the wild stag. It celebrates the symbolic union, mating or marriage of the Goddess & God & heralds in the coming summer months. It represents life rather than Samhain on the opposite side of the Wheel of the Year.
Other Celebrations:
âą Rosealia- May 23rd
Rosalia or Rosaria was a festival of roses celebrated on various dates, primarily in May, but scattered through mid-July. The observance is sometimes called a rosatio ("rose-adornment") or the dies rosationis, "day of rose-adornment," & could be celebrated also with violets. As a commemoration of the dead, the rosatio developed from the custom of placing flowers at burial sites. It was among the extensive private religious practices by means of which the Romans cared for their dead, reflecting the value placed on tradition (mos maiorum, "the way of the ancestors"), family lineage & memorials ranging from simple inscriptions to grand public works. Several dates on the Roman calendar were set aside as public holidays or memorial days devoted to the dead.
Roses had funerary significance in Greece, but were particularly associated with death & entombment among the Romans. In Greece, roses appear on funerary steles & in epitaphs most often of girls. Flowers were traditional symbols of rejuvenation, rebirth &memory, with the red & purple of roses & violets felt to evoke the color of blood as a form of propitiation

Eddie and Nancy
Just giving my brain a break from the Secret Tunnel (aka the game show) story. I still have two chapters to get through and my brain needs a cool down.
I've seen a lot of headcanons that Eddie is the Wheeler children's older half brother because of how much they look like each other.
But may I propose instead: cousins.
Hear me out.
You have first born, Elizabeth. Absolute hippie child. All about that free love, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. She learns how to play guitar, falls in with the charming and cool, Al Munson. They plan to tour the country his beat up old truck. But before that can happen, Elizabeth gets pregnant with Eddie. So she marries Al.
Then you have Karen, the younger sister. Bright, demure, absolute golden child. She dyes her hair and blows out the curls to more like waves so she doesn't look like Elizabeth anymore.
She does what she was raised her whole life to do. Get married to a good boy so they can have good children and pay taxes and never do anything fun.
When Elizabeth dies, Karen refuses to go to the funeral, hates that her name is even in the obituary at all. Then three years later when Al is sent to prison, CPS calls her first.
She's the boy's aunt. She has a comfortable home, and bringing him in would barely dent their finances. But Karen refuses. She won't have that delinquent anywhere near her children.
So they go to Wayne. Wayne who really doesn't have the space or the money to take care a little boy almost teenager. But he looks into those big brown eyes and can't say no.
They keep apart until the murders in town start in Wayne's own god damn trailer. He keeps his mouth shut when Nancy comes up to him asking about Eddie. He would like to throw it in her face that he knows who she is and that he knows full well that Karen would throw a fucking fit if she found out where her daughter was. But he won't. It's not the girl's fault her mother is a bitch.
After Vecna (and Eddie NOT dying) Nancy is sent to the attic to see if she can find some of Mike's old things to donate as a lot of Nancy's went to Holly. She finds an old trunk and though locked it comes apart in her hands. In it she finds dozens of pictures of her mom with beautiful girl with flying dark brown curls and sparkling eyes.
She smiles as she reminds her of Eddie.
Her mother calls out for her to hurry and slips one of the pictures in her back jeans pocket. Nancy closes the trunk and hurries back to her mother.
Then because Nancy can't leave a mystery well enough alone, she goes digging. All while Eddie and Max are in a coma, Nancy works on her mystery.
She finds her answer in the most unlikely of places. Joyce Byers's year book. She had it out showing her boys the outrageous hair styles they had in her day.
There two rows down from Lawrence Byers is an Elizabeth Childress. She's got ribbons in her hair and smiling brightly at camera. So full of life.
Childress.
She closes her eyes. There is no doubt this is her mother's sister. A sister Nancy never knew anything about.
She points her out to Joyce. "Oh, I remember her. Such a sweet girl. It's really too bad she fell in with that Munson boy. Or rather the wrong Munson boy."
She flips the pages and on the same row as her, is Wayne Munson staring up at her. So happy and free. The Vietnam would too soon take that from him. "That's Wayne. Such a good boy. Elizabeth would have thrived with him. But Wayne was shy and more interested in getting good grades than girls."
Joyce flips back to the seniors with Jim and Lonnie and began searching for the M's. "There." She pointed at another boy. Alan Munson. "He was trouble from the moment he was born. But he had a motorcycle and a leather jacket. Lizzy fell hard. They got married right out of high school, I heard."
Jonathan and Nancy share a look of shock.
"What happened to her?" Jonathan asks.
"Cancer," Joyce says sadly, "poor thing."
Armed with her knowledge and a borrowed yearbook, Nancy marches right up to her mother and slams the yearbook in front of her. The picture Nancy took from the attic serves as bookmark and she shoves both at her mother.
There is no denying it now. All the proof is right there in black and white.
"This is why you didn't want to join the D&D club my freshman year, isn't it? Because it was Eddie's club?"
Karen buries her head in her hands. And the truth just starts spilling out.
"And that boy is just like his father!" Karen cries. "He might have not have killed those kids but he was a drug dealer."
"To keep the lights on his trailer!" Nancy yells back. "If you and Dad had taken him in maybe he wouldn't have turned out the way he did. Maybe he be a better person."
"Or maybe he would have dragged you other children with him!"
"If you really thought that Mike wouldn't have been allow in Hellfire either!"
It's at this point Mike walks in and suddenly Karen is caught.
She breaks down and explains that Eddie had helped her with her car right before Mike started high school. So as a way to return the favor she let Mike join.
Nancy heads to the hospital and manages to get into see Eddie.
Wayne tells her only family is allowed to see him and Nancy smiles.
She knows.
Then Eddie wakes up, falls for Steve, the whole party teases Steve about keeping it in the family and Karen gets her head out of her ass and everyone lives happily ever after.
The end.

It's Will that gives him the idea.
"we don't really celebrate father's day anymore," he had said awkwardly, "but I can't hang out anyway."
"why not?" Dustin demanded. He was gonna end up bored and alone because he didn't celebrate the holiday and everyone else had plans. he had been counting on Will to keep him company.
"I'm gonna get Jonathan a new record and I want to listen to it with him," he said.
"can't he get his own records? C'mon, we could go to the arcade or something."
"no, Dustin," his tone took on a stubborn edge that made Dustin pause. "He's my brother and I love him, and he's the only guy besides Bob who's ever even tried to look out for me. So I'm sorry but I'm gonna be busy on Sunday."
Dustin didn't argue after that but it did get him thinking which is why on Sunday morning he biked all the way over to Loch Nora and started banging on Steve's door.
"what do you want, Henderson?" Steve sighed the most dramatic put upon sigh Dustin had ever heard.
"you're not my dad--"
"wow you really are genius!"
"shut up, shut up, listen to me!"
"okay, geez, I'm listening."
"you're not my dad and I don't want you to be my dad. I don't even really want a dad! Lots of dads aren't even that great and my mom already has the single parent thing down. But you taught me how to do my hair and how to talk to girls - even though that advice sucked, I didn't need it to get Suzie at all - and you're gonna teach me how to drive--"
"woah, hey, no I never said I'd do that, wh--"
"--and you've saved my life but I think we're even because I've saved your life too."
"Henderson don't you have anything better to do than harass me in my own home?" Steve said. he was using that exasperated tone he got when he knew he wasn't keeping up with what was going on but didn't want to admit it.
"actually no I don't but I'm here for a reason," he reached into his backpack and took out the gift he clumsily wrapped with scraps of brown paper bags. He shoved it into Steve's hands. "You're basically the only adult male figure in my life. And I appreciate you."
Steve squinted at the gift and then at Dustin and at the gift again before he said fussily "is this a prank? If something gross explodes from this, I swear to god, I'll--"
"Just open it, Steve!"
"Fine, fine, keep your shirt on," Steve said and tore off the paper. He blinked and in a softer tone said, "Oh."
"I don't know if you even like making models but I know you love cars and this kit looked just like yours, so yeah."
Steve stared at the kit some more. Dustin started to fidget. It was always better to be honest with your feelings but maybe this was too much for Steve. Maybe Steve didn't like him as much as Dustin did. Steve was not as enlightened about these things as Dustin.
"I've never made a model before."
Dustin hunched his shoulders and tried not to feel stupid or hurt. He should have expected this. They weren't even related. This was probably too weird. He reached out to take the gift back.
"it's fine, I can return it, whatever."
Steve raised the kit out of Dustin's reach.
"Hey, this is mine," he said.
"you don't even like it!"
"I never said that! I'm just gonna need a dweeby little nerd to help me build it. You know anybody like that?" Steve asked, batting his eyes innocently.
"you're such a dick," Dustin grumbled, fighting back a grin.
"watch your language!"
"shut up, you're not my dad."
Steve laughed as Dustin shoved his way into the house. Hours later, after much shouting and ribbing and one incident of spilled paint, a small model of the beemer was left to dry while Steve forced Dustin to watch the baseball game on TV with him. It wasn't the worst thing ever, and after Steve mentioned the statistics involved, it got way more interesting ("of course you'd like the math part, you weirdo" "you don't understand the stats do you" "shut up and watch the game, Henderson"). When the paint was dry, Dustin followed Steve upstairs and watched him carefully and deliberately place the model between a couple of sports trophies.
"yeah, I guess it looks pretty cool," Steve said with exaggerated nonchalance. "Now beat it, kid. your mom's gonna freak if you're not home when she gets back from work."
"can you give me a ride?"
"ugh, fine."
Dustin grinned. This had been, hands down, the best father's day ever. From the look on Steve's face when he placed the model, Dustin was pretty sure he agreed.
#stranger things#steve is an honorary henderson#steve harrington#dustin henderson#trensu tells stories#i almost forgot i had this in my drafts!!#i wanted to wait to post on actual father's day but i was busy all day#(went to a cubs game with my dearest friend and it was so good omg)#(definitely worth the headache that hit me when i got home)#the smart thing would've been to schedule the post but why would i do that lol#anyway there's still an hour's worth of father's day left so it counts

pass the salt pt. 2 âą e.m smut
part one here.
OLDER!DADâS BEST FRIEND!EDDIE x FEM!READER
summary: dadâs having a bbq for labor day weekend and you heard through the grapevine that a certain friend of his is going to be there.
authorâs note: letâs revisit the popsicle ordeal, shall we? đŠ
CW: porn with plot, oral (m-receiving), degrading kink, but also a praise kink bc iâm both and donât know how that can possibly be, face fucking, cum eating, eddie eats his own cum if you squint heheheheheh, deep throating, cheating; for context, eddie is in his late 30s, reader early 20s and in college. dividers: @benkeibear @bucciniexe
WC: 2.3k words
Eddie never called.
He couldnât possibly be that old and forgetful.
Before parting ways, the 39 year old promised heâd let you know when he got home safely. So you stayed up all night waiting for a text, a call. And while it was evident he did make it back (he was playing games with your dad all night a couple days later), you couldnât help but feel forgotten about.
Also, itâs West Memphis. Whatâs so interesting about the boonies that made Eddie forget about you so easily?
But now classes are back in session and Eddie, too, was becoming easy to forget. Easy to forget, that is, until conversations about your fatherâs annual Labor Day Weekend barbecue comes up.
"Eddie will be there, you remember him right?"
DO you?
Your thighs clench in place as you attempt to tame your excitement. Suddenly, your upper divisions are being ignored and youâre searching your closet for the shortest of short shorts to wear.
âTry forgetting about me NOW, Eddie,â you think to yourself.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND
You just about checked your appearance a billion times in the mirror before making your way downstairs.
This afternoon youâre dressed in skin-tight denim shorts and a light top with puffy sleeves.
Your eye makeup? Specifically designed for destruction. And your lips? Cheeks? Both the same innocent, peachy pink. Itâs sure to drive Eddie insane.
You could hardly contain your excitement. The thought of your fantasies being fulfilled within the next couple of days has you in tumultuous heat.
Being bent over the kitchen counter. Folded up atop the wash. Getting railed to bits in the guest room in the middle of the night while the TV drowns out your pretty little noises. But most of all, you couldnât wait to be with Eddie. There was so much to talk to him about since he left.
After one last pep talk, you down your water like itâs a shot before going over to greet everyone.
âââ
When you get to the backyard, you offer the sea of guests polite smiles and pleasantries. Your dad is at the grill, doing what he does best with a big smile on his face. When you scoot past him, you see Lucas Sinclair and his wife, Maxine. You nod to Dustin Henderson. And Steve Harrington, the business guy.
Then you see him.
But it is to your absolute shock â and horror â that he happens to be manspread atop a lawn chair, laughing into the crook of a random woman's neck as she's perched on his lap.
Well this is awkward.
You watch as they laugh like teenagers in love, the woman leaning into Eddie the closer he reels her in. You watch him call her his "baby", as she runs her delicate fingers through his wavy brown hair. His cheeks turn a flattered rose when she kisses his nose with hers. But when his gaze drifts from her to you, itâs shifts to a different kind of red. An "oh shit" kind of red. An "I'm caught" kind of red. You swallow hard.
It's no wonder anymore why Eddie didnât call. He found someone new.
"Sunshine!" your dad calls you over. "You know my buddies, Gareth and Grant. Mike, Will, and Jonathan?â
âYes!â you attempt to remain collected, giving all the guys a gracious smile hello. âHi, nice to see you again.â
When you make your way over to Eddie, you notice that he begins to sulk into his seat, avoiding any form of eye contact with you.
âAnd of course you know Eddie.â
Your dadâs best friend gives you a tight-lipped smile.
âHow ya doing, sweetheart?â
âLong time no seeâŠâ is all you can say.
âAnd this is his girlfriend of three years, Sophie."
Your stomach is in knots now. THREE YEARS?!
Suddenly, your gaze goes from surprised to angry. Horrified. Nauseated.
Sophie wasnât the other woman. It was you.
Meanwhile Eddie doesnât seem to have a guilty bone in his body. When your eyes finally meet, you see that his are dark, piercing into you with such an intensity that you nearly stumble backwards.
"Aww Jeff," Sophie pouts. "Your daughter is so cute!"
"Isn't she?" Eddie coos.
Itâs hard for you to comprehend anything, so you go mute shortly after the interaction. And for a while, you linger, as to not appear suspicious or upset. In the meantime, Eddie watches you while you talk to the other guests and help yourself to a couple pieces of fruit, curious as to why and how you havenât caused a scene yet.
But youâre about to if you stay any longer.
Storming into the house now, you tilt your chin upwards to stop the inevitable down-flow of waterworks. And itâs when you think youâre all alone that a pair of gruff hands grab you by the wrists, shifting your back promptly against the wall.
Your breath hitches in response, as anyone's would if their body was being refrained by a tall, husky, and intoxicated silhouette.
"The nerve you have wearing those shorts around me," he breathes onto you.
You shove him back aggressively.
"Fuck off, Eddie," you spit. "You have a girlfriend?! You had one this whole time?!"
"Hey nowââ
"After everything, you couldnât even bother to tell me youâre already spoken for? Really?!" your voice is at an aggressive whisper now.
"I never said I was perfect."
"Clearly you aren't."
Eddie backs away for a second to let your anger simmer, his resigned hands creating a fair amount of distance between you two. But seeing you all angry and frazzled made his cock twitch, the only thing stopping him from fucking some forgiveness out of you being the thought of people standing right outside.
"I waited for you to call, Eddie. And you forgot all about me."
"Wanna make me remember then?"
You feel his erection through his strained denim jeans as Eddie tauntingly rubs himself against you.
"Make me remember how good I fucked you that one night?" he questions you rhetorically. "How pretty those moans sounded getting drowned out by my pillow? How you begged me to rail you dumb while you came hard all over my cock?"
Your lip quivers as his hot breath tickles your neck. You bite down in attempts to make it less obvious.
"How I corrupted Daddy's Little Girl?â he cockily adds.
"Ha!" you manage to scoff at him. "You really think you turned me, huh? You cannot be more wrong, Eddie. You haven't influenced me a bit.â
"Then what's all this about?"
He motions towards your outfit.
The taunting lace frills. The scant length with no built-in spandex underneath. Your outfit sculpted your body so nice, in every possible way. And as much as you tried to convince yourself otherwise, you did do all of it for Eddie. And his influence is very prominent. Your face flushes red as Eddie searches for your gaze.
"Not foolin' anybody, darling," your dadâs friend issues you a sinister smirk. "Like I said before, I used to be your age."
âI canât even look at you right now.â you mutter.
âYou donât have to.â
He grabs your hand and you let him, tracing the outline of his stiff cock as he grunts against you.
âIn fact,â Eddie says as he shakes his head. ââŠyou donât have to speak at all. Would be hard for you to anyways with me in your mouth.â
Your breathing quickens the closer Eddie gets, and you find it impossible to pull away when he starts kissing down your neck â his breaths hot â the way his soft lips suction against your temple... even hotter â and the spearmint that danced with the nic at the back of his throat, expelling a shaky hum out of you that you tirelessly fought to keep inside.
"Eddie," you whimper. "I'm yours."
Eddie issues you a rough smack across your ass.
"I know that. On your knees."
There was no going back now. Before you know it, your knees meet the cold wooden floor, face practically already buried at the base of Eddieâs crotch before he could even strip himself down.
You sit patiently while Eddie grabs a chair, sitting down and teasingly palming himself while he lines himself up with you. You hungrily watch as he slides his jeans down, stroking his incredible length and girth a few times, before slapping the head of his leaking cock against the matching gloss of your lips.
"Missed it?"
You crumble.
"So much," you pout.
Eddie motions you forward and you place your lips on his throbbing head, sucking him in place before spiraling your tongue seductively down his shaft.
âFuuuck,â he whispers. âThere she is. Thereâs my girl.â
His praise causes you to melt into him, clinging to his waist and taking him deep as he holds you in place, the back of your head fitting his calloused palm like a glove.
âMmhmm??â Eddie grunts as he studies every fervid bob of your head. âMmhmm?? â Ohhh, fuck. Good girl.â He moves your hair out of the way. âThatâs a good girl.â
Eddie cranes his neck towards the door leading outside, keeping watch of anybody who might be coming in.
But even when on the lookout, Eddie continues to mindfully thrust, slowly when people near but compensating with direct blows the moment they walk away.
Fucking hell.
He's a challenge in every possible way. Your tear-strung eyes trail up at Eddie as he watches you suck, slouching in his seatâŠrolling his hips⊠thrusting into your gaping mouth slightly past the point of resistance. And you were being so brave, that is until he unexpectedly plunges himself into you, causing you to gag and push hard against his warm thighs to catch your breath.
"Need some air, baby?"
"Iââ you cough. âI â hate you.â
You spit back down onto his throbbing cock, showcasing to Eddie his salty string of pre-cum as he strokes your temple in consolation.
"Iâm sure you do..." Eddie chuckles, offering you a menacing, adulterous pout in return. âIâm sure you fucking do.â
He knees the base of your core lightly and you immediately, obediently fold your hands behind your back. With his available hand, Eddie grazes your ass, venturing his fingers around your wet slit causing you to moan as your throat is jabbed repeatedly.
Eddie goes just far enough to hear more of your angelic, reactive gags. Pleasure-saturated tears roll uncontrollably down your cheeks. Amused, Eddie shakes his head as you desperately gargle him dry, his arousal spewing recklessly against your palate.
"She hates Eddie, she hates Eddie,â itâs almost like heâs singing it. Eddie chants sarcastically as he watches your makeup run out of pure lust. "Bet that filthy mouth LOVES him though, doesn't it, sweetheart?"
You nod again. Without the slightest bit of mercy, Eddie is practically ramming into you now. But youâre beyond the point of caring. You want him to obliterate you. More than he already has.
You knew better. But your dadâs best friend knew better than you.
âThat filthy mouth loves how Eddie tastes?â he quips again as you nod up at him bitterly. âHm?â
And as he finishes inside your mouth, salty seed soothing the back of your bruised throat, Eddie grabs you by the jaw to lock you in place. The twisted fucker wants you to savor every drop of his load, his ego oozing into you while his thick groans pollute the kitchen air. And when he finds the courage to finally look you in the eyes, your gaze pierces into him as you swallow him down.
And just as menacingly, Eddie grins down at you. You bat your lashes innocently as he gives your hollowed cheek a few delicate smacks with his large palm, followed by adorn praises for swallowing every drop he issued you.
âMy pretty baby,â Eddie fawns, as his stiff cock finally grows flaccid. He grabs your chin to give it a sloppy kiss, and your eyes follow intently as he wipes the corner of your mouth with his thumb. He licks the evidence off with his teasing tongue. âYou gonna be my pretty lil baby on the low?â
âAs long as you donât forget to call this time,â you issue a playful frown.
âDonât worry darlinâ,â Eddie assures you. âAfter what you just did to me right now, Iâm never leaving you alone.â
When you both finish cleaning up, Eddie follows your lead as you two head outside. He goes back towards his friends at one corner of the backyard while you walk over to the nearest cooler for a popsicle. And as the party draws on, you two mingle around, talk, and party with all the others... as if nothing happened.
And even though you're able to play it off like it's no big deal, Eddie's words were all you could think about for the rest of the day.
âYou gonna be my pretty lil baby on the low?â
Crying over spilled milk is almost never worth it. Sometimes itâs best swallowed with your pride.

Media I imagine different fiction podcasts in instead of the media of being a podcast.
TMA: A selection of volumes, relating to the fears, each with those removable covers. Those covers has a victim or two, and then underneath the cover is a really detailed cover. The paper is decoratively ripped, with a kind of scraggly font, and each has a foreword and âauthorâs noteâ from Jonathan Sims.
Malevolent: A really gritty graphic novel with deadly detail in each panel, and very little color. Maybe a trinket on each important character has a color? Like Arthurâs eyes being yellow or Oscarâs collar having a blue sheen to it. The novels are long, dramatic, and intimate in a visceral way.
Welcome to Night Vale: Local 58 bullshit. A broadcast on television with low quality images and audio, tacky music, and a kind of 80âs aesthetic. Each episode the words WELCOME TO NIGHT VALE zoom onto the screen, the purple eye behind them. And each weather segment is an animated short by a different artist.
The Penumbra(Juno Steel): A webcomic. Hours spent scrolling downward a comic that has so much color and GEOMETRIC design. Juno and his curvy jaw, brown pie slice eyes, a cartoonishly high collar for his investigator jacket. Nureyev and his sharp square jaw, shimmering jewelry, and stick legs. Characters sticking out of the panels, fonts changing constantly, a little blue Juno that does his narration and *guitar theme plays* each time he appears.
Wolf 359: A classic comic. Issues month by month. Different special covers of the characters in extra dramatic poses or scenes. Even MORE panel breaking than Juno Steel. So MUCH onomatopoeia, even for small things like the clink of a panel or the disapproving hiss of Hilbert in the background. Geometric designs like Juno Steel, but less colorful. Like the superhero art style mixed with a more stylized look.
Midnight Burger: You pull up the Midnight Burger website. They have a hidden page that has a sort of script-comic thing going on, where the art is next to the writing. Small coded in notes from Leif sometimes pop up if you hold your arrow over the art. Links are attached to the parts where Effie and Zebulon play music, linking you to the music so you can listen to it while you read.
Desert Skies: An animated show. Indie, something youâd find on YouTube. The animation is bouncy and incorporates 3D animation alongside the 2D. Maybe the Sphere Movers have 3D models and the staff donât? The credits are short because it was made by one guy. People are complaining about it on Twitter /j. People are making content farms about it. Everyone is pissed at Corson like theyâre pissed at Jax.
The Amelia Project: A sort of simulation video game. You play as Arthur. You listen to their stories and draw pieces of the tale to invent their death. Every once in a while the game transitions to a point and click suspense game where you solve puzzles as Cole and Haines. Maybe there should even be an Operation-esque part of it where you work as Kozlowski.
Ghost Wax: A novel with a lot of pictures spliced in it. The stories are all in a single book, though the book is through Lucaâs perspectiveâ so he picks up on the ghostâs body language and Voncidâs reactions. The pictures are tarot cards with each victim as a card. Some are repeat cardsâ Lorem does not have a card at the end of the story. Nor does Our Home or Evening at the Ardent. The pictures are only white with black line art. No color whatsoever.
Kakos Industries: A company newsletter. Not a broadcast. A newspaper that arrives at your door and has big bold letters with the main story and pictures of the events that happen in the story as it goes. And the Sunday Comic page is full of employee shenanigans. Some innocent⊠some not.
I am losing my mind.

you're not jonathan
for @steddieholidaydrabbles prompt 'no upside down au' rated t wc: 997 cw: recreational drug use, language tags: meet-ugly turned meet-cute, flirting, somewhat ambiguous ending but we all know what's gonna happen
đżđżđżđżđżđżđżđżđżđżđżđż
Steve was not supposed to be the one picking up the drugs for the party.
He wasn't even going to the party.
But Jonathan couldn't get it from his usual guy, said he was back home in California for the summer, and it wasn't like Robin had a hookup.
Eddie Munson didn't technically deal anymore, but he made exceptions for previous customers, and Jonathan had been a regular during high school.
It wasn't shocking news to Steve, but what was shocking was hearing all these stories about how Eddie didn't even usually meet someone during daylight hours. Except today, apparently.
Steve tripped over another branch, barely caught himself before falling on his face.
"I better get so high off this shit," he said to himself.
"I only sell the good shit."
Steve froze.
Somehow, he'd missed a person walking up to him, probably when he nearly ate dirt.
"Is there any reason a hike is required to get some weed?" Steve asked, brushing his hands on his pants to get the remnants of the tree trunk he saved himself on.
Eddie crossed his arms in front of him, raising an unimpressed brow.
"No. Jonathan suggested the place."
Hard to believe the guy who hated being outside for more than a few minutes would have suggested a half mile trek into the woods, but Steve didn't really care to argue.
"O...kay. Well, I've got the cash if you wanna get this over with," Steve said as he reached into his pockets that were..."Fuck."
He started patting his pockets, his shirt, looking around him at the ground to try to find his wallet.
"Everything okay?" Eddie asked, coming closer.
"I lost my wallet. Shit!"
"Alright, I can help you look, man. It's not a big deal. Gotta be somewhere, right?" Eddie started looking around him, though it was half-hearted at best. "What's it look like?"
"It's brown. Um, leather?" Steve suddenly forgot any other details about his wallet. How convenient.
"Okay, so the color of the ground. Should be easy."
Steve snorted.
Eddie was smirking as he walked the way Steve came, checking the ground around him as he did so.
Steve followed behind, but he was pretty certain they wouldn't find it.
After ten minutes of looking, Eddie sighed.
"We should just smoke a bit. Take the edge off. Ya know?"
"I don't think that's a good idea. I can't pay you until I find my wallet," Steve said as he continued looking, bending down to get a closer look at a spot that seemed like the color of his wallet.
"On the house."
Steve stood straight up.
"Really?"
"Can't really kick ya when you're down, can I? Plus, I planned on smoking after you left anyway. We can share," Eddie shrugged, like it was no big deal.
Steve had never gotten high outside of house parties, the comfort of his own home or a friend's home soothing his anxieties about losing his inhibitions.
But out here? With Eddie? It didn't seem like a smart thing to do.
"Alright," Steve shrugged back.
Eddie must have sensed something about him, though, because he didn't let him take more than three puffs of the joint before he put it out and found a collection of boulders for them to sit on.
"You ever think about how trees are alive but they don't have ears?" Steve asked a minute later.
"Oh, you're that kind of high." Eddie poked his hand, making him look over at him. "You eat today?"
"Maybe. I've been busy. Do you think trees get hungry?" Steve replied.
Eddie searched his face before letting his pinky rest against Steve's hand on the rock.
It felt like fire.
"They do."
"But they don't have pancakes or cheeseburgers. Like, we can't grind it up and put it in the dirt for them, right?" Steve's jaw dropped. "Can we?"
Eddie watched as Steve looked over at some of the trees surrounding them.
"I don't think we can, no."
"A shame. They're missin' out. You know who else is missin' out? Jonathan! He made me come here and he didn't even tell me you had long hair or like the nicest eyelashes. Which is weird because he didn't shut up about anything else about you but he forgot about the eyelashes!" Steve's hand curled around Eddie's pinky. "And you look warm."
Eddie's brows raised.
He wasn't sure who Steve was. Jonathan had just insisted he was cool.
But Jonathan hadn't mentioned that his hair looked softer than silk, or that his eyes were wide and innocent despite his lip curling up in the corner in annoyance.
Jonathan seemed to have left a lot of things out.
"Well, it is summer. It's pretty warm," Eddie gulped. "But you do look a little cold."
"I get cold easy. Robin says it's because I don't eat enough red meat or something. Low irony or something."
Eddie was so endeared.
"I could help you stay warm? Walk you back to your car if you want?"
Eddie did not want that, but he knew Steve probably needed to walk off some of this high before his friends started to worry about him.
"Don't wanna walk," Steve leaned his head on Eddie's shoulder. "My head is walking."
"Should I try to head back and get one of your friends?"
Steve shook his head.
"Be fine in an hour."
"Okay," Eddie put his arm around Steve's shoulder, surprised to find that Steve was shivering. "Hey, you okay?"
"You do have good shit."
"That's not an answer," Eddie chuckled.
"I'm good. Best."
Eddie let him burrow further into his side and waited for his shivering to subside before he suggested heading back to his car again.
Steve still refused, and Eddie didn't have it in him to push.
Not when they were finding shapes in the clouds and he was holding Steve close.
He'd definitely owe Jonathan a lot of product if this went the way he wanted it to.

â APOLOGIES for the tag list in the comments, Tumblr has an issue with tagging more than 5 people â
Summary: Victorian AU where you are hired by Lord Simon Riley as his housekeeper in the secluded countryside. Besides the gardener - Johnny, you barely sees anyone around the house and the strange things begin to happen around you. The manor, or rather its residents, hides a terryfing secret.
AO3 link ⶠđ
A/N: Huge thanks to @starsexplodeatnight who was so kind and sweet to help me with the fashion aspects of this fic. ËÊâĄÉË Also, won't lie, @ohbo-ohno's works and Ghoap dynamics inspired me to go back to the roots and to write some darker, gothic romance with Ghoap and Reader. At least I tried. âź(ïżŁâœïżŁ"")â
Warnings: dark themes, religious themes, dubcon/noncon (full list on Ao3)
Word count: 7.6k
đđđđđđđđ
Lord Rileyâs house seemed to be alive at times. The wind sweeping through the draughty windows fills the lungs of the great manor. Old, wooden flooring creaks and the glass strain within its frames.Â
You hated how untamed your imagination was especially after nightfall, when the darkness creeped in every hollow and corner of the manor. Since the first day, every night you would leave a single candle lit on the bedside table just to ease the vivid imaginations. When you were a child your mother scolded you about reading such profanities about ghosts and curses.Â
And now you knew why. If the candle wasn't lit, strange figures danced in the shadows, their eyes imprinting into your skin and if were they real, would they try to hurt you or rather warn you?
But now, as a grown up woman, those nightmares of your childhood came back to haunt you once again.Â
With all of your heart you were grateful for Sir Jonathan Price, a friend of your family, who helped you get into Lord Rileyâs favour. It was him who wrote a letter of recommendation to make it easier for you to find a good, suitable job as a woman of your status.Â
But he didnât mention once that the manor was so far from civilization.Â
Johnny quickly became your closest confidant around here. A Scottish gardener whose brown hair reached down to his broad shoulders and sparkly eyes in the colour of clear sky. He took care of the gardens as well as masterâs horses and sometimes you could find him repairing a fence or something of sort. Johnny was a hardworking man, only a few years older than you, but he was also gentle, clever and jolly.
Such an opposite to Lord Simon who was everything but what Scot was â silent, harsh former lieutenant who would rather spend his time in the solitude of his chambers. Otherwise he would go on a ride or hunt into the forest on one of his favourite studs. Simonâs face was pale as a ghostâs and covered with shallow scars, remnants of his service in the army.Â
Nonetheless, the tall, portly man seemed to enjoy your presence, if you dared to assume that, purely because you were quick to adapt. Lord liked his silence and you did not want to disturb your masterâs peace, wouldnât you?Â
Within a week you have learned the following pattern â each day started with breakfast, which you ate alongside Lord, sporadically noticing the presence of busy cook, Kyle Garrick, who didnât happen to talk much. Then, you would proceed with your everyday duties. Which did not include sneaking around to go and talk with the gardener, but nevertheless you did. Â
And as the evening would finally come, you were sitting in the playroom of the manor embroidering while Mr. Riley was reading his book. Even Johnny was allowed to come sit with both of you, gnawing at the wooden pipe between his teeth. It all felt so domestic in such a short period of time.Â
And how could you believe such gossip about Lordâs hospitality, or rather its lacking, hearsay in the city?Â
Sundays were always a day of rest. You were sitting in your bedroom on the highest floor, reading one of the novels you brought from home. Too entertained with the story, you blindly reached for the cup of tea standing nearby. The noise of ceramic pot splattering across the floor caused you to tense immediately.Â
It shattered to pieces. Such a waste, it was a pretty one.Â
You closed the book with a sigh and set it aside, slowly walking towards a storage on this floor. With a small broom in your hand you returned to your room only to find it oddly⊠clean. The staining of spilled tea on the flooring was gone just as the bits of what was left of the floral cup.Â
Almost like it never even happened.Â
Your eyes wandered across the chamber, searching for the mess you just made. But every little trace of it was gone. You kneeled down and looked under each piece of furniture. Still, nothing was found, a broken teapot swallowed by the void.
Slowly you retracted from the room onto the long hallway, searching for the maids or signs of their presence. It must have been one of them, right?
â Hello? â You asked with hesitation in your voice, but there was no living soul to answer you back. Not nearby anyways.Â
đđđ đ
Coos of the crows and rattle of their wings echoed through the old trees. And although the sky was grey and cloudy that day, no rain had yet fallen. Alongside Johnny, you went for an afternoon stroll down the borderline of the forest, enjoying a minute of break.
â How long have you been working for Lord Simon?Â
â A couple of years now â the man reached down the wild grain growing on the field and plucked a single piece. He continued to play with it between his thick digits, brows narrowed as he reflected on his further answer. â He hired and gave me a roof over my head when I retired from service.
â You were a soldier too?
Johnny nodded with a simple âayeâ and you smiled.
â What?
â Nothing. Didnât think such a gentle gardener was once enlisted.Â
â Yeah? Didnât think a pretty lass like yourself would be so nosy. â He smacked the tip of your nose with the stalk he was holding.Â
Your cheeks grew rosy and warm, when he paid you a compliment. Not that you were a prude! Actually far from that, but it was just that Johnny was so charming and he definitely knew how to sweet talk to a woman like you.Â
â Not nosy, itâs considered rude â you explain to him, fidgeting with your fingers yet a smile is painted upon your face. â âCuriousâ I think suits me better. Those who spread gossip about othersâ affairs and tragedies are the nosy ones. See, thatâs the difference.Â
Johnny stopped suddenly and took your hand into his palms. He held you gently, almost like you were made out of glass and he, with his admirable strength, could break you into pieces. What a great waste it would be to destroy such a pure soul. He leaned closer to your ear, warm breath tickling your sensitive skin and your heart almost jumped out of the ribcage. Should his closeness excite you so much? Should a grown woman be this rash?
â Only if we were seen by someone, here on the glade, alone. Scandalous â the man mocked such behaviours, while brushing a single strand of your hair behind the ear. â What would they think, hm?Â
Before you took a step back, your gaze met his for a brief moment. There was a hint of curiosity and playfulness in his blue eyes. And perhaps something else, something much more obvious than you believed it was.Â
Something that made men weak.
â Right, what would they say, Johnny? Who? â You asked him playfully, though your expression was full of sorrow. â I barely see anyone around the house. Iâm starting to believe those servants are some⊠ghouls living in the attic or they simply avert me so often.Â
â Lord likes his peace, they work as if they werenât there. Just as it needs to be.Â
â Itâs been some days now and I hadnât met any of them. Youâre the only person who actually talks to me. Donât you get lonely there?
â Simonâs and your presence is enough for me. And well, itâs nice to talk to Mr. Garrick sometimes.Â
â He talks to you?Â
The cold breeze danced through your hair, causing you to shiver. Dry and brittle leaves crunched under your soles when the two of you continued to walk down the old pathway.Â
â Autumn here is tough, lass, you should have worn a sweater. We should head back home, the nightfall is coming.Â
You loathed the cold weather and how freezing the chambers got in the morning. Your first winter in Englandâs countryside might not be as pleasant as you thought it would be, with cold feet and no one in the manor to warm your spirit up.Â
No peers, no guests, no neighbours. Just you, Johnny and Lord Riley.
You stood back in the middle of your quarter, looking at everything and anything at the same time. Each detail like a porcelain vase with flowers or lace tablecloth looked so neat, with no sign of dust it was almost impossible. Many questions were stacked inside of your head.Â
Was your chamber cleaned every single day? If so, when did they do it? And why hadn't you even bumped into any of the servants of the manor? Yes, the building was large, but at some point you had to meet the staff, right?Â
It has officially been two weeks since you moved to live and work here. Although using the word âworkâ was far-fetched. You hoped to become a governess to Lord Rileyâs children, but that dream was quickly demolished as he had none. So then it was told that you were responsible for the house work, but there was no one to supervise as they were constantly hiding from you. So you were sitting there at the end of the day in a living room, chaperoning your Lord. This time without Johnny.
Fireplace was spitting long flames, popping ashes into the air. The interior was welcoming, when the wind behind the windows grew stronger. A storm was coming.Â
â May I ask you a question, Sir? â You had put aside your embroidery set, before finally asking. The blonde man hummed, eyes still transfixed on the lecture he was reading. â How often do the maids come to my room?
â As often as needed. Why?
â I wanted to rearrange my quarters this morning, just to push the bed closer to the wall, but when I returned from the afternoon stroll, it was back in its primary place.Â
â Then they fixed the furniture, didnât they?Â
You had a feeling that was not the case. You scratched the flooring during the first attempt, if the staff was to push the bed back to its origins, they would only do further damage. Yet, the wooden planks were brand as new. No signs of any scratches.
Were you hysterical? Was it all your vivid imagination?
â But itâs heavy, my Lord.
â And yet you managed to move it. So did they.Â
Lord Riley was grumpy again, his voice hoarse and accent thick.Â
You once again took the needle threaded with string into your fingers and returned to the unfinished piece, but the urge to continue pushing him was stronger. You might rather bite your tongue in the future.Â
â Maybe I should talk with them and explain that I prefer it the other way.Â
â I prefer when the rules of my household are followed. You wouldnât have such an idea if you didnât have so much free time.
Your hands dropped to your lap as you abruptly looked at him, slightly offended. And even though Lord tried to conceive this, you noticed how the edges of his lips twitched in a tiny smile. He was toying with you.
Simon was strict. Perhaps he never abandoned the military's rules and drills. He was an adamant man who valued his own comfort. That means, obeying his rules.Â
â Come, I might have an idea how to keep you busy.
The Lord of the house rose from his seat. Each time you stood next to him, you were intimidated by his height and solid build. Despite being off duty, he kept his admirable physics of a Greek god.Â
At least that is how the books you kept so dear to your heart described the brave warriors.Â
You followed the master into his private library and patiently stood right behind him, when he was searching for a certain book. Finally he reached a thick tome in your direction â âA Mortal Immortalâ by Mary Shelley.Â
â Here, this may interest you â but when you stretched out to receive it, he moved the novel out of your reach. â Ah, ah. What do we say?
â Thank you. For borrowing me your book.Â
â However, when I think about it, Iâm worried this will only worsen your⊠troubled mind.
â My mind?
â Johnny told me you worry too much about some nonsense that should not be your priority in the first place. Youâre letting this place and its solitude haunt you. Are you of a weak mind, girl? â You quickly understood what he was referring to, so to prove the point you denied the vile accusation. â So, Iâd recommend you stop being childish and focus on your chores. Then everything will be alright, understood?Â
â Iâm not childish.
â Is that clear? â He repeated with much harsher tone.
You nodded slightly, barely visible, but enough to agree with the Lord.
â Now, go to your chamber, itâs getting late.Â
His dark eyes carefully inspected your figure. You noticed him staring at your neckline for far too long than what was decent. His coarse hand swiped over yours when he was giving you the book. The cold metal of his signet felt like a thousand sharp stings.Â
What kind of game was the Lord of Riley Manor playing with you?Â
đđđ đđ
The simmering sound of something powerful cracking snatched you from the peaceful dream. Every muscle in your body tensed and you sat up, holding the duvets tight when a thunder enlightened the black sky. Your heart beated fast within its cage of bones and breath shattered, anticipating.
Surely, thunderstorms can happen in late autumn, but you had never predicted it to happen this night. You felt uneasy, when another loud rumble made you scared. Then there was the banging window frame, somewhere in the long hallway and those horrible, horrible whistles of wind. They sound almost like human cries.Â
At first you ducked down beneath the covers to shield yourself from the haunting sounds, thinking that the servants would take care of the open window. But minutes passed and they didnât.Â
With a lit candle on a metal holder you walked down the corridor, the flame being the only source of light.Â
So when the wind coming through the window blew it off, you gasped loudly in panic â you barely saw your own hands in front of you!
â No, no, noâŠ
You almost screamed when someone placed their hand upon your shoulder and then your mouth. A familiar figure was illuminated by another lighting. You could never mistake those blue eyes for another.Â
â Shh, bonnie. Itâs me â Johnny whispered, slowly uncovering your mouth. â I heard the fuss. You alright?Â
â Actually, no⊠Did you hear those sounds?
Your hands squeezed the candle holder, when the gardener rushed to close the open window. You shivered, only a thin layer of nightgown covering your skin. You looked behind, checking if you were alone in the hallway. It certainly felt like you werenât. It had to be the ghouls.Â
â What sounds?Â
â Howling, distressed cries? Wails? I-I heard them in my chamber.Â
â Youâre scared of the storms?
â No, thatâs not-
â Itâs okay to get spooked sometimes â he cut you off and grabbed your hand, slowly leading you back where you came from. â Come, letâs get you to your room.
â Oh, donât belittle me. â You frowned upon him, yet you doubt he had seen it. You clung to his strong arm like a scared girl, not eager to get lost in the darkness again.Â
â That was not my intention. Was just trying to comfort you.
When you finally reached your room, you couldnât find the strength to let go of his hand. You interlocked your smooth and delicate fingers with his digits.
â Please, Johnny, donât go. Iâm⊠scared.Â
â Of thunder? â He chuckled, petting the palm of your hand.Â
â No, this place. Something is not right, please, Iâ
â Itâs okay, you got scared a little, thatâs all. You really want me to stay?Â
You shuddered when taking a deep breath, calculating every possible consequence of this decision.
This was not right.Â
â Yes.
When he stepped inside of the room, a rush of excitement flooded your veins and sank on the bottom of your stomach. Perhaps it was foolish and considered promiscuous inviting a man into your bedroom, but your body and heart desired otherwise.Â
Johnnyâs presence brought you comfort that you were longing for, his touch ascended your worries to the void and filled the troubled mind with pleasure. Nothing else.
Without a word spoken the two of you moved to the narrow, still warm bed and climbed under the sheets. Johnny captured your head between his hands and pulled in a gentle kiss on the lips. In his performance he was eager, sloppy yet charming. One of his palms gripped your hip through the crumpled material, just as you hooked one of your thighs over his hip.Â
Foolish, foolish girl.Â
â Youâre so pretty â he whispered through the thick air as he pressed his forehead to yours. The curve of his nose filled your bridge as you looked at him from under your lashes. â The moment I first saw you getting out of the coach, that day you arrived, I knew I couldnât ever let you go, bonnie.
Johnny swiftly moved on top of your lying form, holding that one thigh open. He continued the passionate assault on your lips, carefully rolling the hem of your nightgown up.Â
Your body was on fire, everything inside of you screamed this was wrong, but somehow, the sinner inside of you called for him. For his touch, for his affection and his sweet, sweet nectar.Â
Only when he started caressing your mound and its slit did you acknowledge where his hand wandered. And although his skin was rather tough from all the years of hard work, his touch was gentle and surprisingly precise. You gasped lovely. It didnât take that much of a hassle for him to make you wet and eager down there.
â Oh, JohnnyâŠÂ
His name rolled off your tongue like honey, a music to his ears. It wasnât long enough before he was grinding over your thigh with his excited and leaking length.Â
â You are what we needed. A little warm sunshine, eh?Â
Did you hear âweâ?
But before you could ask him, he began stretching your cunt a little bit too carelessly to your liking. All his prudence was gone, as he got drunk on your scent and how you felt around him. Your hand gripped his bicep and your glossy eyes went wide like a scared doe.Â
â Johnny, Johnny, slow â you breathed out through muffled whine and the man atop of you stilled. â Slow, please.
He could feel how your heart pumped within your veins.Â
â Iâm sorry, bonnie. Let me kiss it better â the gardener leaned down to pepper your face with kisses. And when he got to the sweet spot on your neck, you giggled â shh, we donât want to wake him, donât we?Â
Obviously he meant Lord Simon.Â
He set a steady yet bearable rhythm as his hips rolled into you in waves. His chest was close to yours, brushing sensitive nipples through the thin fabric of a nightgown. You were pushed into the cushioned pillow, hair splayed beneath like roots of the ancient tree.Â
You felt so lightheaded yet so good at the same time. Sparkling, increasing sensation tickling the nerves and blinding the vision. Johnny was all you could experience in that moment. He was the only thing you could smell, touch and taste, when he was trying to steal the air from your lungs. You fell into the abyss of pleasure quickly, all the latest worries fading away.
And the horribly loud storm? Didnât matter at that moment. All thunders quietened down and the entire world could be burning in flames and ashes, but you wouldnât even notice.Â
The man moaned deeply from his throat, when he got closer to his peak, hips frantically snapping against yours. You barely managed to entangle your shaking fingers within his brown hair, right above the nape of the loverâs neck. With one more final thrust both of you indulged sweet, sweet pleasure.
Johnny stayed until the morning came, just as he promised. With an expression of pure ecstasy and lust, you snuggled into his chest. He wrapped a pair of arms around you and for the first time since the arrival you felt at peace sleeping in the manor. The candle remained snuffed out.Â
In the morning of the following day, you went to the city with Mrs. Garrick to receive the remaining letters and a few other errands. You and the cook split to settle matters quickly.Â
The post office was a small place with barely anyone inside but a friendly looking old lady behind the counter.Â
â Good morning, Iâd like to receive the mail for Lord Riley.
You put on a polite smile, walking closer to the counter and removing the bonnet from your head.
â So you are the new housekeeper, Iâve heard about you. Itâs been a while since someone got his letters, guess he still ainât leaving the house?
â No, maâam. Lord is rather⊠â you paused, searching for the right description of your employer â a private person.Â
â Always had been, even before he went to war. But oh, that was years ago, I hope he softened at least a little. Such a sad and grumpy boy he was.Â
There was something in the way she phrased it that made your body still. Blood got so heated up anyone that touched you could feel it on the outside. Did she mean the previous Lord, father of Simon Riley? But that couldnât be the case, this title was newly found when he returned from the war. So what was this all about?Â
â Forgive me, you said âyears agoâ? How long ago was it? You see, Iâm not from here and the Lord doesnât share much about himself.
â Of course he does not and do not expect otherwise â she waved with her wrinkled finger, before reaching for the bile of letters from the shelf behind her. â It was around twenty five years ago, Lord Riley was the same age as my son when he joined the Queenâs army.
â I see.Â
You were confused, extremely confused. The blonde Lord with scarred face did not look a year past his thirties, how could this be that he enlisted quarter of century ago? At that moment you felt so horrified by this anomaly.Â
Through the rest of the day and the day that followed, the old maiden auntâs words echoed inside of your head:
â I am surprised anyone actually was willing to take that job. Lord Riley is a⊠forgive me for speaking so freely, but heâs a strange man who abandoned the word of God years ago. Why do you think he got pushed away from the post earlier?Â
He wasâŠ?Â
You didnât look the same into the depths of the windows of the Manor, nor did you stare at the dark corner of the hall. Every sound of wood creaking sent shivers down your spine. They were coming.Â
Oh God, have you gone mad? Â
đđđ đđđ
You stirred the porridge over and over again, watching as the gooey mush slipped from the spoon down to its den. Despite the tremendous amount of honey you added it still tasted rather bitter this morning.Â
â Did you finish?
â Excuse me?
You tightened the hold over the silver spoon when Lordâs hoarse voice brought you back to the eerie reality.Â
â The book. I asked if you finished the book? â Blonde man raised his thick brow in question, curiously looking at you from his own plate.Â
â Oh, yes, yes. I enjoyed it, however I found Winzyâs life quite miserable to be honest. And tragic.
â Why so?Â
â Well, he lost the woman he loved so dearly and then had to continue living eternally without her. Imagine how lonely his life had to be, when he must have outlived every single friend he had made.Â
â If he was so miserable as you say, then why wouldnât he just end his suffering and join the woman he claimed to love? Maybe he didnât really care after all. â Simon leaned back in his chair, exhaling loudly. â I sometimes wonder what his life would look like if he had given the potion to Bertha. A pair of immortals walking this earth, would they become some sort of Gods?
â Doesnât the thought of living so long⊠make you feel⊠I donât know, unease , my Lord?
â No. Iâve seen worse things than an old man. Those who fear death might go to extremes just to avoid their end. Â
â We were not made to live forever, donât we? We should not play God.
â There is no God, sweet girl. Only sinners and fools. Those who play and those who lose. Are you a loser?
â No, Sir.Â
His dark eyes glowed in a mysterious manner as the silence fell between you two. The man was bright and had seen right through you.Â
â Good. If we speak of the matter of sinners, Iâd like to make one thing clear.
The Lord stood up from his seat, putting the white napkin on the table. His figure loomed closer toward his housekeeper and finally leaned on one of his hands over you. You could feel his breath on your neck, his closeness made you shiver.Â
â Youâve been living under my roof and by now you should know I despite disobedience and liars.Â
â I am no liar, Sir.Â
â Perhaps not, but you hide things from me. Captain Price spoke of you in high regard - a well behaved woman from a respected family, yet youâve proven yourself to be rather promiscuous. You even ensnared poor Johnny, didnât you?Â
That⊠was straight forward.Â
â I did no such thing!
Suddenly he wrapped one of his strong hands over the nape of your neck, causing you to tense and lean away from his touch. The man began drawing circles over your skin with his thumb, almost like he tried to soothe your shattered nerves. You gasped at the sudden force he had put you in place.
â Watch yourself and think twice about answering again.Â
â It was mutual.
â Mutual? â He repeated mockingly. â Johnny boy would fuck anything that moves in ten miles radius. And it just happened to be you.Â
â How dare you speak like this? â You turned your head to look him in the face. When you did, you saw the insolent smirk painted over his pale face. â He is at least decent towards me, heâs kind and caring. We did nothing wrong. Why do you care?
Simon leaned down right next to your face. He continued to stare you down, his brows narrowed in deep disappointment.Â
â Youâve built a wall between us, sweet girl. Yeah, you did. If there was something you ever needed, you should have come directly to me, your Lord. And I can assure you, Johnny did not give what you craved and desired.Â
Inconveniently your face changed its colour to vivid blush, when he suggested such things. Your stomach felt like one, big knot twisting its way to get stuck in your oesophagus. Was that it? Was this how he perceived you? Was he jealous of the fling between you and Johnny or was he simply cruel?
Lord Riley let go of your pretty neck and caressed your cheek with the knuckles of his fingers. Just like one would touch a lover and another â a pet.Â
â Youâre frightened. Are you scared of me, is that it? Be obedient and you wonât have to be. Or do you really want to be punished so badly?
You quickly denied by shaking your head to the sides to which he only hummed. His weight shifted behind your back and a trail of footsteps could be heard as the Lord of the house left the dining room.
A moment passed before you caught yourself staring at the bowl of now cold porridge, slowly digesting the conversation you just held with him, your Master.Â
The burden upon your poor, poor mind has overwhelmed you and the realisation of a potential madness weighed heavily upon you. Nothing made sense. Not a single logical explanation has come to light to soothe your fears.Â
After those couple of weeks the staff and maids stayed in the shadows, Lordâs age did not match the tales of his youth and those horrible sounds you continued to hear at night? Ugh, they kept you awake, causing dark bags to show under your pretty eyes.Â
The manor itself seemed to have poisoned you. Was that it? The reason? You knew you had to leave the house as soon as possible. You had toâŠ
Oh God, what have you gotten yourself into?Â
That night was no different to those before it. Wind blowing through the crack in the windowâs frame, wheezing and whistling. Your bedsheets are exceptionally cold this time, causing you to shiver and tremble. The candle is still burning, a metal holder standing on the table.Â
When you finally manage to curl up under the sheets and doze away slightly, you hear this agonising, scary wails.Â
Wait. No.Â
Those are no wails.
I-Is someone moaning?
You raised up to a sitting position in a half asleep state. Loose strands of hair stick to the forehead as you continue to listen for more sounds.Â
Those seem to be almost human-like. Maybe they are?Â
You throw the sheets to the side and crawl out of the bed. Youâre frustrated and moody, close to tears from the exhaustion of not being able to sleep. Before you left your chamber, you grabbed that damn candle light and took a deep breath.Â
Your bare feet left no traces behind as you walked down the dark hallway. The heart in your chest was about to burst, obviously you were still scared of the dark and what possibly lurks within it. The hem of your nightgown sweeped the wooden flooring that cracked underneath your weight.Â
Then, you heard those moans again, louder. You were getting closer. Following the awful sounds you finally get to its source. You knew where your feet happened to take you to and that you shouldnât have dared to enter this chamber. Nonetheless, you did. The shroud of mystery had to be torn.Â
You slowly creeped towards the half-opened, heavy doors and sneaked inside where the darkness swallowed almost everything. Single candles had been lit across the room, creating an ascended ambience. You should have turned around and left, you understood that perfectly well. However, you wanted answers to all the secrets of the manor and its habitants.Â
Behind the wooden screen there was a large bed and two figures sitting on its edge. Gardener who was completely bare and whining into Lordâs shoulder, drool leaving the corner of his mouth. Thighs spread open and eyes closed tight. And there he was â Lord Simon dressed in trousers and loose, white chemise. His big hand was tightly wrapped around Johnnyâs angry cock, pulling and twisting the sensitive skin. They seemed to be enjoying themselves as Johnny whined pitifully again at the sensation.Â
At least now you finally knew what those sounds were exactly â that stormy night Johnny came to you, were they also together? You couldnât move and kept standing close to the screen, eyes transfixed at the scene you witnessed. So many emotions washed over you â were you embarrassed, scared or even jealous? The dots and the facts slowly began connecting. You had to make haste and leave this room. This house. You knew you had to get away tonight, before things would escalate. Oh God, you couldnât properly breathe, your face and lungs felt like they were on fire!
â Looks like we have company â the coarse voice of a blonde man made your skin cover in goosebumps. He stared directly at you. â Want to join us?Â
Unknowingly you made a muffled whine of embarrassment as you swiftly turned around and started to walk away in a hurry. As if you were in some kind of trance, your body going automatically. You rolled up the long hem of your nightgown not to stumble upon it as you found yourself on the corridor again.Â
Christ! You forgot to take the candle with you!Â
The breathing became difficult as you had to navigate somehow in the complete darkness. A part of your heart felt betrayed by the erotic scenery you just witnessed, although you couldnât completely understand why. You and Johnny were a one time thing, why would you feel sorry for him bedding someone else?Â
Probably because this âsomeone elseâ was your mutual employer.
There were heavy footsteps behind you, they were getting closer and closer. He was right behind the nosy intruder. You tried to fasten your pace, blindly going forward, hoping to find a staircase. Then it would lead you downstairs and outside of the building. But before you even made it halfway to the stairs, you bumped into a slim table standing by the wall. The vase standing on it fell and broke as the painful impact of the table's corner digging into your abdomen sent you to the ground.Â
When it was clear you were within his grasp, you tried to crawl further away from him, trying to escape somehow. But Simon was faster and he collected you from the floor.Â
â Come, before youâre gonna hurt yourself. â Lord Riley said as he managed to lift up and throw you over his broad shoulder with little effort.
You tried to break free by kicking like a goat and punching him with your curled fist. But how could the strength of a city girl ever compare to the former soldierâs? You groaned, you kicked and you cursed. Nothing could have prepared you for the harsh slap that Simon planted on your bottom. It stung, causing you to go still over his shoulder. And when he spanked you again you bit your lower lip, trying to confide any pathetic whines.Â
â Should have whipped you long ago. Maybe it would teach you some respect.Â
â I didn't mean to interrupt, Iâm sorry! Iâm sorry, my Lord!
â Oh, you happened to join us just in time.Â
Lord Riley took you back to his bedroom and tossed you down onto his remarkably large bed. This time, he locked the doors from the inside and removed the key from the lock. You were stuck there with them. You managed to back up a little, before Johnny reached you. He sat at your side and carefully extended his hand towards your petrified face, a curtain of hair covering your pretty features.
â Itâs alright, bonnie. Calm down.Â
â I donât want to be a part of this. â You stated, kneeling on the bed sheets splayed beneath. Simon stood tall with his hands crossed in front of you and the gardener. Johnny gently began to caress your back in a soothing manner.Â
You were caught red handed, busted the only chance to run away and now you were more than positive he would never let you go. You tried to conceal the fears and shame, because now was the time to uncover the truth.Â
â What is this? â You asked with a shaking voice, eyes transfixed on the two figures of men, going from the blonde to the brunette. â Whatâs going on? Please, letâs forget about this. Iâll go back to bed. IâIâŠ
â You already are in one â Lord took a step forward and caught your jaw. He yanked your head up, forcing you to look at him. â Have you finally figured it out? I directly gave you clues. Come on, youâre a smart one. Put the pieces together.Â
How could you come up with a logical conclusion? Everything you gathered through the weeks could be interpreted as a mad womanâs nonsense. But you werenât ill, you were aware of the games going around you.
â Youâre much older than you look, thatâs what I know. And that youâve done horrifying, unforgivable things during your service. Lordâ Simon â you corrected yourself â what have you done?Â
â Think. Harder.Â
His patience was running thin. Simon spoke through his bared teeth.Â
â Oh, God. Are you a part of this? â You looked at Johnny, before the blonde man caught your throat and lifted you on your feet again.Â
â Donât be harsh on her! She doesnât know better. She needs to learn. â The Scotsman said to your defence, narrowing his thick brows and scrambling the bridge of his nose. All this time he was sitting comfortably on the bed, absolutely not bothered with his nakedness. Â
â There is no God here, sweet girl, I already told you. Only me, Johnny and well, you. Iâve been kind enough to share a piece of me with you and thatâs how you repay your Lord? In such childish, pathetic disobedience? Fucking nosy, arenât we? Or just eager?Â
The tall, bulky man reached with his other hand and forcefully cupped your crotch through the thin material of the nightgown, causing you to wriggle in his hold. He prodded against your slit with his finger, toying with you, testing the limits and your responses. And you were very responsive.Â
In that moment you thought about the choice of literature Simon had given you. The main plotline revolved around immortality and its consequences, which would somehow explain⊠some things. Yet what about God? Why did Simon detest him so much?
â God turns his back on people like me and once you sin for us, he will turn on you too â he mockingly snorted, before continuing your torment. â If he didnât already.Â
You tried to tear from his hold, shaking yourself and pushing his chest away. Lord Riley stood like a mountain, not moving an inch. In a quick movement he twirled you around and took a firm hold of the nightgown material at your back. Then you heard how loudly the stitches broke and the teared material slowly fell to the ground, exposing your much alive and young flesh.
Before you realised you were completely bare and managed to cover yourself somehow, Simon grabbed your arms behind your back so you couldnât move further.Â
â I think he sent you to us as a gift â the man leaned against your shoulder, whispering into your ear. â Yeah, thatâs what you are â a sweet, innocent present. Isnât she cute, Johnny?Â
Brunette finally stood up from the bed and gently caressed your hip. He was standing so close, you could feel his pulsating cock and its leaking tip on your supple thigh.
â Aye, she is lovely.Â
â Have you tasted her, boy? That night you sneaked under her covers? â To which the dark haired one denied. â Well, I think you should compensate the little lady, no? Help her calm down, you know how women can get⊠hysterical.Â
â W-Wait, wait, no, n-noâŠÂ
Simon sat down on the edge of the bed and placed you between his massive legs. One of his hands wrapped around your fragile, swan like neck and the other cupped your left breast. Meanwhile, Johnny got down onto his knees and moved closer to the two of you and before he dived between your thighs he looked into the dark irises of his Lord. Not yours.Â
â He eats like I starve him beforehand. Youâre gonna find out, lovely.Â
You tried to squeeze your legs shut, but the gardener kept them spread wide so he could lean closer to your cunt. And when you tried anything like moving or wriggling away, Simon would pull or twist one of your nipples causing you to yelp.Â
â Sheâs really pretty â the Scot said, parting your lower lips apart. The shame washed over you, causing your head to turn into Simonâs shoulder. â Never could have pulled such one while in the army.Â
Then he flatten his tongue over your most sensitive parts and started dragging it along the slit. You entangled one of your hands within his brown strands of hair, on top of his head pulling slightly. When his lips sucked at your clit you finally moaned, releasing some tension and anger within you.
â Birdâs already singing.
Simon purred into your ear, nuzzling his eyebrow ridge into your head. The feelings and sensations you were experiencing overflowed your system. The man you trusted as your lover was assaulting your cunt with his mouth and the Lord you were supposed to work for was enjoying the show. You pressed your eyes shut, trying not to cry. But you finally broke and the salty streams began to run down your rosy cheeks.Â
â You think she deserves to cum, Johnny? â To which the kneeling men nodded vigorously. â Use your words, stupid mutt.Â
â Please, Si, let her. Look how stressed she is. Poor thing, she might need a few more.
â A few- Ah! M-More?! â You squealed again, when someone rolled your nipples between their fingers.Â
When your peak neared, you tried to turn your head away and hide. You didn't want to give them the satisfaction of seeing your face in pure bliss. Simon held your head against his sternum, pressing your forehead backwards.Â
You felt like you were on fire, orange flames licking your fingers, your breasts, your inner thighs.Â
â Thatâs it, good girl.Â
And when the knot finally bursted, a wave of painful, white pleasure washed over you. The orgasm was so strong, it blinded your senses for a short moment in which the men flipped you around the bed.Â
Johnny was supporting your shoulders and your head, while Lord was stirring in front of you. He threw your legs over his thighs and scooped closer to your still wet with saliva crotch. And not only with thatâŠ
The new wave of panic overwhelmed you when Simon began to undo his trousers. He was taller and bigger than the gardener in every aspect, you were scared. Taking two lovers, without marital vows? Does this make you a whore? But you didnât want this!
â No, no, no⊠â You weeped sadly, trying to crawl away, before Johnny began to caress your head. His grip was tight and successfully held you in place.Â
â After tonight, weâll be joined as one, bonnie. Just us, here in this house, forever.Â
â But I-I donât want this, Johnny! Please, let me go. Let me go.
You repeated as Simon pulled you by the hips closer to him. His now exposed, thick cock stiffened over your soft abdomen, leaking some precum.Â
â Shh, Simon knows whatâs best for us. He knows.Â
When the tip of his length caved his way inside of your warm, silky walls, he was at least decent enough to take it slow. If you felt full during that first night spent with Johnny, this time it seemed even fuller. With his flesh, Simon filled you to the brim, still not even moving. The man saw your struggle to relax, so he leaned down and sucked the thin and delicate skin below your jaw.Â
Meanwhile Johnny brushed your hair backwards and with the other hand he caressed your ribs. Somehow they knew how to press each individual button to make you docile enough.Â
They learned how to tame you.Â
Only then, Simon began to move his hips, thrusting slowly and continuously fastening the pace. His movements made you sway along Johnnyâs knees. Your breasts bounced within the rhythm and your eyes searched for them through the half absent haze.Â
You got lost in the moment, every breath merged with another. Hands roaming over your body, whose owners you couldnât really assign, the burning stretch in your cunt that began to lube itself to ease the friction.Â
The pleasure that crushed over your sensible thinking, put you in an almost ascended state. You were still sobbing, when Simon fastened his pace and his cock penetrated you deeper, kissing your cervix. You were still trembling, when the two men started making out above you. Their lips crushed in a vulgar exposition of their affection.
â Canât you see that youâre lost without us, lovely? â The Lordâs voice shaken as he was getting closer to his climax. He leaned down and kissed you, almost stealing your breath away.Â
â Wouldnât last without us, would you, lass?Â
They continuously somewhat mocked you and each time after they did, they cooed at you or leaned down to âkiss it betterâ. By the time Simon finished inside of you, groaning loudly, he spilled the warm seed inside your walls to, as Lord claim, âmake you theirsâ.Â
â Donât worry, we got you now. Weâre gonna take care of you. Just let us⊠get familiar first. â Johnny said calmly, when the blonde was massaging your tense things. You knew they werenât yet sated.Â
That night you happened to lay over one of Simonâs bulky arms like a pillow. He caged your body from behind, his chest pressing tightly against your spine and Johnny laid on his side in front of you. Through a half awakened state you managed to look through the window that faced the treeline. An edge of forest shrouded in thick, morning mist.Â
Tonight you finally were able to put the pieces together. However it was too late anyways.
The house seemed to be stuck in time and space, so were its residents. The wind sweeping through the draughty windows fills the lungs of the great manor. Old, wooden flooring creaks and the glass strain within its frames. Every aspect of the building stays the same, untouched and reclusive for many years to come.Â
You finally let the heavy eyelids close. The sun was rising.

A shiny, dainty bracelet dangled, hooked on a loose screw on the brown banister of Mike Lewinskiâs house. It was late, streetlights shining through the houses front doors. Even through Steveâs slightly drunken haze, the silver jewelry caught his eye quickly. The streetlights shined perfectly as it caught the dangling beauty.
Steve stumbled over slightly to the banister, thick fingers grasping at the bracelet gently as he admired it. The design looked familiar - small multicolored flowers dangling from the chain. He admired it, thoughts racing and blurring together as he tries to piece together where heâs seen this bracelet before. With a frustrated huff, he carefully slid it off of the nail, holding it in his hands as his thoughts betrayed him. Steve cant quite remember when heâs seen it. Instead of dwelling - his head beginning to pound and swirl - he hooked it around his own wrist.
âBracelets like that are the first steps to cross dressing, Harrington. Is there something you need to tell the class?â Robin retorted in a slurred voice, stumbling to Steveâs side. Even drunk, she could find a way to poke harmlessly at her friend.
âIâve seen it before, Rob,â He mumbled. He made his way to the door. âThink someone lost it. Gotta make sure they find it.â
Robins eyebrows raised at him, watching his drunken figure stumble out of Lewinksiâs house with a serious look on his face.
âSo you decided to steal it?â
âIâll know whose it is when I see them. Gotta keep it safe.â
Stumbling after Steve, Robin just let him be. There was no use trying to talk some sense into him, especially when heâs drunk. With a mumbled âdingusâ, the two found their way to a sober Jonathan, who promised to drive them home.
A few days had passed since the night Steve found the flowered bracelet. Heâd since taken it off, storing it in his jeans pocket everywhere he went. He was certain he knew who it belonged to - the memory was just buried somewhere in the back of his mind. Long fingers gently fiddled with the silver, becoming almost a nervous habit heâd become comfortable with.
There wasnât much Steve remembered about that night. He remembered the beers and the loud thumping music, and the possibility that heâd gotten a hit off Eddieâs joint earlier in the night. He also remembered finding the bracelet - it dangled off his wrist even while he crashed and burned into his welcoming bed. He just wished he remembered who it belonged to.
His head snapped up quickly as the bell at the door of Family Video rang out. A group of young boys came in, babbling on about what rated R movie they were hoping to rent. Steve also wished he wasnât constantly waiting for this mystery person to appear.
âIf you keep getting distracted like that, Keithâs gonna fire your sorry ass,â Robin said with a glare. She caught the glare Steve threw back at her and ignored it. They both knew Kieth was too short staffed to do anything more than threaten him.
âGive it up man,â Eddie quipped, his curly hair shaking around his head as he spoke. Steve found himself, once again, fiddling with the bracelet in his pocket. Itâd gotten so bad that Eddie of all people picked up on it. âYou stole the bracelet, of course nobodyâs gonna come looking for it.â
He earned himself a rough smack in the arm, returning with his hands up in defense. Steve seemed more pent up than usual, so Eddie dropped it. He gave him a wonky side eye, before he went outside for a smoke. One he thought Steve would benefit from.
A stack of videos rested on Steveâs hip as his eyes scan the shelves. He hadnât worked in three days, and Kieth had somehow rearranged the entire store. That left Steve and Robin scrambling to familiarize themselves with the new set up. Steve couldnât help but let out a frustrated huff.
He stumbled around the store with heavy feet, placing each returned film in its proper place, completely focused on his task. He was walking in circles in a dull attempt to finish the stack. Steve had already found himself in a bad mood to begin with. Rain poured outside, the dark clouds making Hawkins look more depressing than usual. He made sure to make a comment about the humidity and his hair to Robin before they were forced to work.
So engrossed in the task at hand, Steve failed to notice the front door opening. Somehow his ears didnât register the chiming of the bell. With one last final trilogy in hand, he was determined to find its home before he even dared to look back at the register or the front door.
It wasnât until a nice smelling perfume filled his senses that he came back to his surroundings. Steveâs eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. He recognized that scent. It wasnât Robins, he knew that, the scent too distinct for him not to pick up on it. It certainly wasnât Nancyâs. Heâd grown a slight adversity to it.
A sweet voice rang into his ears before he could come to his own conclusion.
âExcuse me, sir?â you asked. Steve shuffled around on his feet at the question, eyes locking with yours the moment he finds them. His eyebrows knitted together even more at the sight of a woman his age - why were you calling him sir? He quickly chalked it up to politeness.
âCan you help me find the romance section please? You mustâve rearranged the store, I canât find it.â Your pretty smile ignited something inside of him. His mind quickly flooded with the memory heâd been looking for since the party at Lewinskiâs.
He quickly remembered your soft lips against his, the gentleness of your fingers brushing through his hair, the loud music surrounding the two of you. Steve had your back pressed into a corner of the dining room, locking you in place. He remembered the strawberry lipgloss you had on, too. It was an odd contrast to the liquor on your tongue. More importantly, he remembers the pretty necklace that you wore that night. It was a perfect match to the bracelet in his back pocket.
An awkward cough escaped your throat at the sudden quietness. Your eyebrows were raised in a confused sort of way as you stared up into his eyes. You hardly noticed his blush before he turned his head. Steve began babbling about how Keith - his manager - switched everything around without warning. You followed his awkward stumble towards the new spot for romance in the store.
There was something familiar about the man, you just couldnât pinpoint where the familiarity came from. You fiddled with the flowered necklace around your neck as you moved past the thought. Your eyes landed immediately on the romance movie you were in search of. A giddy laugh rang into Steveâs ears as you slid the video off the rack and into both hands.
You walked up to the front of the store, letting the man guide you once again. Quickly, you noticed the way he reached inside of his front pocket and fidgeted. He seemed nervous, or deep in thought. He slid behind the counter to the register, eyes flickering up at you as he speaks.
âYou were at Lewinskiâs party last weekend, right?â
You couldnât help but scoff at the reminder. A quick nod of your head gave him his answer, though you still spoke. Steve noticed the way your nose scrunched up in annoyance. It made his heart flutter.
âYeah, but I kinda wish I didnât.â Your words made his heart drop. He wondered if you remembered, or if you were too far gone to recall it. Your next words washed that away, though. âI lost my bracelet that night. It was my favorite, too.â
Steveâs hand found its way down to his pocket again. This time, he tugged out a thin bracelet. The same bracelet you were missing. Your eyes lit up again at the sight of it, relief filling your body. More rambles spew from his mouth, explaining that he found it when he was heading out and didnât want to leave it.
He felt your fingers brush against his as you took it from his hand. Your bright smile and your gentle touch had his head spinning. You rambled on much like he did about how grateful you were of him. It didnât take long for you to get choked up on your words. The way Steve stared into your eyes, you remembered where youâd knew him from. Warmth bloomed from your neck and stretched to your face. Heâd been on your mind for days - you had no idea youâd run into him like this.
You werenât sure what stars aligned for this to happen, but you were beyond grateful it did.

Hello LockNation artists and friends! You are all so creative, and Iâm always so impressed by your art.
Thereâs literally SO MUCH art, Iâm drowning in art, I canât reblog art fast enough.
Each social media platform is different, and I love our little community and would love to share the amazing artwork of tumblr fans with Jonathan.
My plan is to take your art submissions and compile them into a photo book, which I will then figure out how to get to him!
PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE POST BEFORE PROCEEDING!! THANK YOU!!
DATE TO NOTE: Midnight GMT on Friday 24th January 2025
WHAT TO SUBMIT:
Artwork can be from any Stroudverse book! You may need to specify to me which universe if itâs not clear, but I know there are other brilliant pieces out there for Bartimaeus, Scarlett & Browne etc.
Please only submit your own artwork.
Some of you are brilliant, prolific artists, but I will be limited by page numbers and I have no idea how many submissions I will get, so please only submit your favourite pieces of artwork, and not your whole portfolio! Can we please limit it to a maximum of TWO pieces of artwork per contributor. Thank you. If you upload more than two, Iâll just have to pick my own favourites đ€·đ»ââïž
(In the event that we have more space, Iâll open up to additional submissions, but weâll see how it goes!)
SFW artwork only please, obvs
LOGISTICS:
Weâre working with Google Drive here.
Please name the file so it includes:
1. Your name (if you want to share)
2. Your tumblr url (so we can credit you!) (and also in case something goes awry and I need to contact you about resending etc.)
3. And, only if youâre happy to share, what country you are based in (because I think that would be cute)
4. If itâs your first or second submission (1 or 2)
Examples:
Bobby (bobbys-not-that-small) UK (1)
random-weird (submission 2)
If you donât have a Google account (I.e. canât upload to the drive), please let me know and I would be happy for you to email me the files or try to work out an alternative.
I think for virus-avoiding reasons I wonât be able to accept submissions via you guys sending me things like Dropbox or WeTransfer files.
Please submit files of a decent enough quality that they can be printed (probably in CMYK colour if able/you know what that means) but NOT humongous file sizes, else my GDrive will Freak Out!
If physical artwork, a scan is always best if possible, else a good quality photograph in bright enough lighting please. Consider zipping files if theyâre big, but again, insane quality is not needed!
PLEASE NOTE:
This Google Drive will be visible to all contributors and those with the link, so please do not include personal information that you are not comfortable with others seeing.
Now, it feels a bit mean to say âonly art from artists that call tumblr homeâ, but thatâs exactly what Iâm going to do for simplicityâs sake. Please can we keep it to people that predominantly share their artwork on tumblr rather than, say, people based on instagram who have an auto feature on that cross posts to tumblr. This is a project for our community, at heart.
If you have any questions about this, then please ask them in the REPLIES of this post, so Q&A doesnât get lost in reblogs.
HOW TO SUBMIT
If you have art to submit, please DM me and I will share the Google Drive link with you directly. I ask that you donât share this link or post it out anywhere so we can control who has access to the folder.
Be patient please! I am not always on tumblr every day, plus itâs the Christmas period for me so Iâm going to be at home with family a fair amount. Uploading doesnât take very long, and I will make sure I get back to you as soon as I can.
CUTOFF DATE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Midnight GMT on Friday 24th January 2025
Lastly, please tell your tumblr artist friends so we can get as many people involved as we can!
Much love,
Bobby x

prof!jonathan crane x fem!student!reader
authorâs note: this is absolutely NOT lore accurate,so donât come for me if i got anything wrong,i was just playing around with the idea of jonathanâs crush on sherry. also english is not my first language so sorry for grammatical mistakes and errors.
the minutes passing by felt like hours as you waited for professor crane to finish grading the other studentsâ papers. the silence made it even worse,interrupted in intervals by the old clock in his office. he called on you in class,told you to meet him in his office. as per usual. even if your peculiar relationship prevailed in the last few months you still felt uneasy sitting on the run down leather couch.
he seemed unusually tense this day. you noticed it even when he was teaching. he was jittery,getting easily annoyed by the students. you didnât know what was up and you didnât dare to ask. his huffing and sighing as he aggressively wrote something and tossed the papers to the side made your heart drop to your stomach. the anxiety in your chest making you fear what he had in store for you today. most days it was just you bent over his desk,your stockings torn as he pounded into you from behind. he was always aggressive with you. always pulling on your hair or giving you a few slaps to shut you up.
but on these days,when he was on the edge,he had the tendency to do much worse than tear your stockings and strike you across your face.
the sun had already set making the atmosphere even more agonizing. you just wanted to go home. âprofessorâ your voice soft as you called out to him,afraid of disrupting the uncomfortable silence spread across the room. he didnât budge,his head still in the papers. you sighed,deciding to not push it any further. you didnât want to anger him even more. the coldness of the room gave you goosebumps,as a storm made its presence known outside. a harsh roar of thunder and heavy rain already littering the streets. and finally,professor crane stacked the papers and put them to the side.
but the anxiety in you swirled. his eyes met your for a second before he reached into his drawer pulling out a clear bag. âput this onâ he threw it at you,the bag hitting your chest before falling on the couch next to you. examining the contents of the bag,inside was a neatly folded cheerleader uniform. it didnât look brand new. in fact,it looked old. the fabric looked run down by time,though what caught your eye was the brown spots on the uniform. your brows furrowed,âis that bloo-â,your sentence was interrupted by professor crane sighing heavily.
âput it on.â
you looked up at him,still questioning the blood on the rusty uniform. âi donât have all dayâ he said looking at his watch and leaning back on his chair. shutting your mouth,you pulled the uniform out from the bag. slowly,you started taking off your shirt,then stood up to unzip your skirt. you could feel his predatory gaze as you stripped in front of him. his eyes admiring the bruises on your body from the last time you two were together.
it was no secret that professor crane was a sadistic pervert. especially when it came to you. his eyes never leaving your body as you pulled over the top,then bent down to put on the skirt. getting a good view of your ass in your sheer stockings,he groaned quietly as he moved in his chair.
you turned to face him after you were done,feeling queasy about wearing an old bloody cheerleader outfit. he sat there for a few seconds before he ordered,âsit downâ. you sat back down on the couch. watching him as he got off his chair and made his way to you. he sat down on the coffee table in front of you,sighing as he played with his watch. when he finally looked up,his eyes looked softer behind his glasses. his hand came up to caress your face,his fingers rough against your soft skin.
âsherryâ he mumbled to himself.
your name is not sherry. who is sherry? was she the girl this uniform belonged to? was that her blood? you furrowed your brows at the name,opening your mouth to protest,but he just shushed you. his hand squeezing your chin as he spoke,âi will address you as sherry,and youâll call me jonathan,got it?â. you were still confused,a million questions running through your head but you nodded. you were going to find out who this sherry was either way. you set your mind on that. âuse your words,dollâ his grip on your chin tightened.
âyes-â you wanted to say professor,âjonathanâ. he smiled,a soulless smile,âgood girlâ. his hand left your chin,his fingers ghosting your neck before stopping at the neckline. he took a deep breath. âi missed youâ he mumbled,you could barely hear it. but you heard it. your expression remained stoic,you werenât sure how to react to that statement. but by the looks of it,he wasnât expecting a reaction. his fingers traced your collarbones before he spoke again,âdid you miss me?â.
the lump in your throat got bigger as you nodded. again,not sure what response he was expecting. if he wanted to play a game with you,then he shouldâve explained the rules first. he looked off to the side,and you werenât sure if he was disappointed with your response. âno you didnâtâ he sighed. âumâŠâ you tried to fill in the awkward silence. what the hell was going on? why was he making you play this sherry character? who even was she? anger started to build in your stomach as those questions resurfaced again.
âdid you kill her?â.
his icy blue eyes now gazed upon yours. if looks could kill,you were sure youâd be dead by now. you gulped,âsherry..i- meanâ.
smack
his hand met your cheek in a harsh manner. so harsh,you fell to the floor. your cheek burned red,your vision getting blurry from the tears. âbratâ he spat,âi did not give you permission to go out of character!â. oh he was insane. you already knew that,but this solidified it. his sick version of role playing made your chest tighten,as you began to sob on the floor. he stood up,yanking you by your hair. he brought you face to face to face with him,his hand now going to your neck.
pupils blown wide,he had this crazy look in his eyes. âyou wanna know so badâ jonathan started rambling,an evil smile forming on his face. âyeahâŠi did kill herâ your eyes widened,you werenât really expecting this from your professor. even if he was crazy,you were expecting some sob story about how she was his first love and how she died tragically and he could never get over her or something like that. âwhy?â your voice was barely a whisper,fear rising in your chest as you were sure you crossed another boundary. âbecause she didnât listen to meâ he inhaled âjust like youâ. his grip on your neck tightening,you squirmed as you felt constricted.
âmaybe i should kill you as wellâ removing his hand from your neck,jonathan shoved you to the floor. with the sole of his shoe he kicked you on the side of your face. you screamed from the impact,not expecting it. and then he did it again. and again. sometimes going lower and kicking you in the stomach. âare you going to listen to me now?â he stopped his assault as he crouched down to your level and gripped your face in his hand,giving you a light smack. your face was wet with tears as you nodded. clumped eyelashes looking up at him,his own blue eyes devoid of any emotion.
he threw you on the couch,getting on top of you. giving you another round of slaps on your face.
he started to rip your stockings,his hands shaking with anger. âprofessor-â you whined at his aggression,but he interrupted you yelling,âi am not your professor!â. you shut your mouth,watching him take off his glasses with the same shaky hands and throwing them somewhere on the floor. after your stockings,he tore your panties with ease,as if he was possessed by some superhuman strength. âdumb bitches like you have no right to talkâ he mumbled to himself,hands going to unbuckle his belt. âdo you understand?â he said,taking out his hardened cock from his pants.
âyes,jonathanâ you nodded,your tears staining your neck and the couch below. you didnât dare to call him professor this time,in fear of him actually going through with his promise of killing you.
his bulbous head rubbed against your slit. humming with satisfaction at how wet you were becoming,he chuckled to himself. tapping his head on your clit a few times,he breached the barrier of your entrance. that was followed by a whine from you,still not used to his size. he didnât give you time to adjust before he pushed his cock in your cunt completely.
â-ahh- always so tight for meâ he groaned at the feeling of your warm walls around his girth,pulling him in,pulsating around him. it didnât take long before he started pumping into you. âslow down,please pro-â you were whining below him when his hand met the side of your face yet again. the sting from his assault earlier still present.
âyou never listen to me,do you?â he started rambling,âgirls like you never listen,always in their own world,always getting what they wantâ. he clicked his teeth as he continued,âairheads, thatâs why you get thrown around later,thatâs why you get abused,and then you cry about itâ he said,his thrusts slowing down but still harsh enough to send you forward. âyou and sherry,both uselessâ his hand rest on your neck now,lightly squeezing.
âare you going to kill me too,professor?â
his hand around your neck tightened at your words,veins protruding on his forehead from anger. âi could if i want toâ he could feel your walls clench around him at his words. jonathan chuckled at your reaction,âdirty girlâ. tears still spilled down your cheek,wetting his fingers. his blue eyes barely visible from his pupils,he stared down at your figure. face stained with tears,in sherryâs old uniform,your tights torn as his cock was splitting you open. he loved it. âiâm not going to kill you,darlingâ jonathan bent down to kiss you after he said that. a rare moment where he could be sweet. âbut iâm going to hurt you,beyond repairâ his thrusts became faster,sloppier.
you knew he was close,because after he said that he went quiet. just some huffs and groans falling from his lips. he always went quiet when he was close to cumming. your hand tried to pry off his hand on your neck,but his grip just tightened in response. closing his eyes,his breathing faltered as his hips flushed against yours. a loud groan spilled from his lips as he filled you up. ropes of white painting your walls. then he pulled out.
standing up,he watched his cum drip out of your cunt and down on the leather couch as he fastened his belt. it took you a few moments to pull yourself together,pushing yourself up on your elbows,wincing as the pain from his assault earlier shot through your body,you grabbed a few tissue from the coffee table to clean yourself. professor crane found his discarded glasses and put them on. running a hand through his hair as he straightened his suit.
he cleared his throat,âcmon,iâll take you homeâ.
