what she wants, she gets - seungcheol (+18, mdni)

WARNINGS: kind of a toxic rs, smut, tit playing, tit slapping, unprotected sex, choking, daddy!cheol, oral (f rec), reader may not be the most sensible, dom!cheol, sub!reader (f), they r so insane for each other! ceo!cheol

<3 not comfy don’t read! but…HAPPY 400! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! hope u guys enjoy this! muah 💋

“swear to god baby, open the god damn door, please!” seungcheol feels his hands burn, from the incessant knocking and pounding of your door.

you hear every grunt and curse clearly—standing right behind the door, clad in your pink robe, glass of wine balancing dangerously between your fingertips.

“i know you’re standing right behind the door, let me in,” seungcheol runs his hand across his locks, frustration lacing every word. “you’re gonna regret this baby.”

“oh, that’s rich coming from you cheol, i’m the one that’s pissed at you right now—surely i won’t be regretting anything.” you finally decide to bite back.

“you being pissed at me doesn’t warrant you to fucking block your own fucking boyfriend, and what the fuck were you doing on mingyu’s story?” another bang across your poor door.

thank god seungcheol had arranged for only top quality products to be furnished throughout this apartment he’d gifted you a year ago.

“yeah well—you can go and cry about it to your other bitches, i’m sure someone would love to listen to you and offer you some comfort” you faked cooed—you were not going to let this one slide.

“baby—what the fuck are you talking about? you know i don’t even bat an eye at anyone else…everyone fuckin’ knows how i’m fucking obsessed with you, i— you know it too baby!” you hear how his voice starts to strain, and you know he’s right.

ever since you both were linked, it was like an otherworldly connection that only you and him could comprehend.

soulmates—if you must. equally bat shit crazy; crazy for each other at least. well, as what they always say, negative cancels out negative right? together, you and cheol swear nothing else could feel more right.

you came to him on a hazy friday night, and he finally had a face to the name he’s been hearing thrown around the office floors. he’d been captivated by you the minute he laid his eyes on you—in your velvet black dress, donned in silver jewelry that brought out the sparkle in your eyes.

—and, what seungcheol wants, seungcheol gets. by the end of the night, he finds himself removing your jewelry, having you writhe under him, screaming and moaning the whole night, and he’s not sure if you’ve fallen for his trap, or he yours.

it must’ve been love at first sight, he always tells you.

he’s everything you ever wanted, the possessive, ever so passionate man that never takes no for an answer. he made you feel alive, made you feel like you were worth trashing the world for.

some call it insanity, but you weren’t any better. which leads to why you were in your current predicament—you were livid.

it’s not like cheol wasn’t allowed to be around the female species, just not the pretty ones. and especially not if they wear extra short skirts and extra red lips around your boyfriend.

yeah yeah…it’s not like he could avoid female employees, especially being a young and an extremely attractive director, next in line for the CEO position.

the new influx of female employees with the new batch of hires were something else, flocking towards your boyfriend blatantly every chance they get.

he may have just been doing his job to facilitate but—did he have to cross the line with his overtly friendly nature? not necessary, you think.

and you loved to play the game. blocking him all over your social media—only for him to lose his mind when he sees you dancing on mingyu’s instagram story at the club downtown.

you know how much he hates when you hang out with your guy friends, especially ones with a certain playful nature—mingyu.

to say he went berserk would be an understatement. you grin behind the door, the taste of satisfaction at the tip of your tongue, knowing you got him back.

“baby, fuck, i’ll get rid of all of ‘em—whoever it is—fuck, they’re gone by next week” and who are you if not someone that falters at such sweet words from your beau’s mouth.

that click of a door makes him sigh out a breath of relief before he immediately engulfs you in a tight embrace, stroking your hair and kissing the crown of your head.

“you’ll really fire them for me babe?” your eyes soften as they look up into his, and he swoons at how pretty your eyes are, admiring your current docile state—when you’re not being batshit crazy.

he carefully removes the wine glass from you, placing on top of your black coffee table which he chose, before grabbing your cheek and pulling you in for a sloppy passionate kiss.

“anything for my baby, you are the future wife of the company’s soon-to-be CEO after all.” he smirks, rubbing your bottom lip with his thumb.

“and what she wants, she gets,” he whispers before pulling your lips towards his before you could say anything else.

his tongue explores every crevice of your mouth, tugging your own tongue playfully and soothing out every bite he gives your lower lip.

“my baby—you look fuckin’ gorgeous. i can never let you stay angry at me, hmm?” he pecks your forehead.

“gonna remind you why you’re mine and i’m yours baby,” he peppers feather kisses down your jaw tenderly.

“yeah? think i need to put my little brat in place, remind her why daddy only loves her, and how daddy only has eyes for her,” he kisses down your clavicle and sucks on a hollow spot which makes your knees buckle.

“mmffh—cheol….” you know it, you’re excited for it. you love it when he reminds you how obsessed he is with you.

“wonder what’s waiting for me underneath this pretty pink robe,” he gently tugs at the string of your little bow tied at the front.

a second later and your ribbon unravels, allowing the flimsy fabric to fall to the sides, and cheol lets out the most animalistic groan when he sees you completely bare and supple for him.

“so fucking pretty yeah?” he pushes you up against the nearest flat surface he can find, hands moving in urgency, grabbing any flesh of yours he can fit in those big hands of his.

you whine out as you feel his calloused hands squeezing your tits so hard, while his mouth gets busy along your jaw again. but those lips can’t stay away from your tits—he starts sucking and slurping all over—marking your mounds as you pull tightly on his locks, sinful moans after moans falling from your lips.

he breaks apart from your tits and you pout.

“my pretty girl, hands up for me.” he grabs your wrists and places them above your head and you keep them there.

“so good for me,” he sinks down and kisses all around your glistening cunt, making you squirm unconsciously. he holds on to your hips, before diving in fully, inserting that warm pink muscle deep inside your cunt you knock your head back against the wall, letting out the breathiest moan.

“pretty girl is all mine. my cunt, my tits, my girl, the prettiest.” he breathes out before he swings a leg over his shoulder and continues devouring your leaking cunt. his tongue curls up and like a deranged animal it plays with your g-spot frantically. he moans around your cunt so deeply, before he moves up and sucks your warm and swollen clit, teeth grazing every few seconds.

“cheol—too fast too fast—i’m gonna cum soon daddy,” you feel yourself reach your breaking point sooner tonight.

“that’s all i want baby, cum all over my face for me. i’m all yours to cum on,” he switches between the insane speed of his tongue and hard suction of his lips and the ribbon inside you unravels before you know it.

you let out the loudest string of moans, shaking as you clench and let out all your juices all over his face and his tongue.

cheol closes his eyes and soaks in the heavenly moment he wants to last forever. he takes in everything—your scent, your taste and continues lapping on your cunt to suck you dry.

you whine before grabbing his locks, pushing away due to oversensitivity. he looks up at you with glistening lips, and your stomach churns at the sight, feeling a new pool of arousal forming again.

he stands up, eye to eye with you, stroking a strand of hair behind your ear. “you’re so fucking perfect baby, no one should dare to even stand next to you.”

he leans forward, rubbing his clothed bulge against your soaked cunt. “you feel that baby? only you can do that to me, i just need a thought of you and i go fucking insane,” he grabs your hand, guiding it to his huge bulge.

you rub teasingly above the fabric before smirking at him knowingly, “you like me that much?”

“baby, i love you so fucking much—even i can’t comprehend it. swear i’ll die without you,” he leans his forehead against yours, with an arm propped up on the wall beside your head.

you rub faster, enjoying the moment of cheol unraveling just by a touch from you.

“swear i’ll die if you don’t touch me now—and if i’m not inside you right now baby, need you,” he breaks out in desperation and you give in, unzipping and allowing him to step out of his pants.

wasting no time, he gets rid of his boxers and goes over to the couch to sit down, tapping his thigh twice, you immediately shuffle over to sit on him, warm cunt hovering over his growing cock.

“don’t tease baby, told you i need to be inside you now,” he grabs your waist before aligning your cunt to slowly sink down his red cock that’s bursting with veins, feeling like he’s going to explode if he doesn’t feel you wrapped around him.

“f-fuuuck,” you moan out, stomach twisting at how good cheol feels when he’s fully inside you, and you start to ride him, chasing that impending high that you know is coming.

“baby—you feel too fucking good, s’unreal,” cheol croaks out as he grips onto your hips tighter, guiding your pace, not wanting to come in you too quickly.

his wandering hands move on to playing with your swollen tits, your nipples so puffy from earlier it drives him crazy, “so pretty, so fucking sensitive for me always, fuck,” he tugs on them, eliciting a louder whine from you.

his keeps a hand on your tits, occasionally giving it light slaps across and he salivates at the way it jiggles. another hand reaches up, wrapping around your neck which looks too clean for him.

your face contorts in an unexplainable pleasure, and he knows he’s got you at you tipping point. “cheol—daddy, squeeze harder,” you prompt him, wanting him to push you over the edge faster.

“yeah? my little slut wants daddy to go harder? you dirty girl, my dirty girl though— my pretty dirty girl,” he groans, hands squeezing tighter at the pulse points, while he strikes one tight slap across your tits and you can’t stop moaning.

he can’t stop singing praises for his pretty baby, and all he wants is to express how much he adores you every second.

“so close daddy so close, wanna cum wanna cum,” cheol snaps his hips up faster, while maintaining the pressure around your neck.

“gonna make you cum so hard around daddy, then pump you full of daddy’s cum after—show you how much daddy loves you, yeah?” he revels in the way your voice breaks at the incessant amount of moans escaping your mouth.

“gonna cum—daddy can i cum now?” you bit down on your lips, feeling something in your lower abdomen growing and growing, threatening to spill over any minute.

“my pretty baby always so polite—yes baby, cum for daddy now,” and you let go, seeing white as you convulse and jerk around him, crying out his name repeatedly.

his grip around your neck holds you in place, “fuuuckk that’s it baby, let daddy see how hard he made you cum,” cheol will never get tired of watching you cum—especially when it’s around his cock.

“gonna let daddy pump you full now baby? i’m about to cum okay baby,” he starts to snap his hips up even rougher, before releasing a hot load inside of you with a groan and you moan at the feeling as it reaches deep inside you.

“fuuuuck, that’s it baby, take it all, take all of daddy’s cum yeah—you’re mine baby,” he moans out, panting as the last few drops paints your walls with his essence

cheol’s heart swells at the thought of you being so full of his cum—full of him. he thinks there’s no other way to express that you’re fully his other than this act of claiming.

he kisses you, stroking your cheek and uttering words of affection against your lips—and you feel that all is right with the world again.

your MoE fics might be single handedly convincing me to finish MoE. After book1 I was so obsessed with Jedao & Kujen and so disappointed with the book as a book that I couldn't go on, but now, I think that I should continue. I am capable of separating my desire for a good book and my desire for this exact flavor of unhinged. I must finish reading the series. I need more of them.

fwiw I do think both Raven Stratagem & Revenant Gun are better than Ninefox. it depends on what about Ninefox didn’t work for you but the addition of a bunch more non-redshirts to the cast & the shift to civil war with the addition of intentionally sympathetic characters on multiple sides (Vahenz from Ninefox did not count) were both good moves. also somebody pointed out to Lee to watch out for his aphantasia and there’s just a smiiidge more set dressing in the later two books. though i mean i am 0% objective about this because while I liked Ninefox, the flashbacks in RS and the entirety of RG fucking bodied my id. if it’s kujedao you’re interested in you gotta make it to Revenant Gun, anon, it is 300% worth it, their relationship in Ninefox is already fucked to all hell and was from the beginning but Kujen manages to make it WORSE in RG, like. like! imagine! imagine being sixteen and halfway through your first semester of spy college and waking up one day to discover everyone you loved is centuries dead and you’re actually the bioengineered replacement of the space emperor’s lover and co-conspirator of 400 years and also at some point your older self horrifically massacred a million people in a single attack for reasons no one will explain to you and the emperor wants you to do it again. i was handed the setup of all fucking time with this. that thing can’t tell whether we’re supposed to be its father or its lover. hnnnfngh

also. do you know about the paracanonical dubcon bodyswap kujedao twine game because well. look at it. every day i am awed that it exists

GALDSY/GLADLES IS AN EMOTIONAL ABUSER AND MANIPULATOR.

Please read through the document before making an opinion. The document is 400++ pages for a reason.

Reshares are very appreciated

TRIGGER WARNINGS: Emotional abuse, discussions of self harm and suicide, eating disorders, mentions physical abuse through parent, mentions of child grooming, transphobia, misgendering, ableism

TLDR below cut!

Gal would be refered to as G, and Maya would be refered to as M.

About M:

M comes from a emotional and physical abusive household and has no prior social circle before and during the course of the relationship. M has an ED (bulimia) and also comes from a low income family. M is autistic, has depression and cptsd.

Beginning:

- G n M were in relationship from 02/03/23 - 12/03/24 (DD/MM/YY)

- During this period, G would be both emotionally abusive and manipulative towards M

- M was in a pedophilia relationship with an older women who had been grooming her for 3 years when G first met M

- G would then proceed to get M out of that relationship in the pretense of not approving of the relationship in nature (G already had feelings towards M and made M chose between their friendship or the relationship)

During the RS

- M was highly codependent towards G as M has no other support system outside of the RS

- This would lead to G slowly mistreating M due to the power imbalance of the rs

- G would be dismissive towards M's feelings and interests during the relationship

- G would find M's interests annoying -> M would stop talking about it -> G would only be less cold, annoyed and angry when they slept tgt -> M would do everything to please G so G would show care -> M shaped her life based on what G wanted

- G would constantly lovebomb M with gifts. G would usually buy gifts for M if they had any disagreements

- G would often threaten to break up with M whenever M brought up things -> G would then proceed to lovebomb to move on from the matter

- M's ED is also caused by the financial struggles at home -> restrictive eating -> G starts paying for food -> M becomes reliant on food from G

- G would comment on the bones on M's body -> Causing M the need to feel more validated to be as thin as possible

Bday incident:

- It was G's bday and G was overseas

- M had been having depressive episodes -> tried to hold back for G's bday -> M couldn't take it anymore and fell into an episode -> M felt extremely suicidal

- M confided in G about this

- G tried to dismiss the fact -> G asked why M couldn't do this on another day

- G implying M was selfish for feeling suicidal on G's bday

- G was saying M was selfish and ruined G's bday

- G would then proceed to imply M was at fault for the whole thing

- M was literally contemplating suicide the whole day

- G kept going "Stop" "Listen to me" "Stop" "Do you feel guilty"

- Ended on G going "don't kill yourself or whatever"

- This event would lead to G constantly bringing it up that M "ruined" everything

After the Bday

- M eventually confided to a friend about what happen -> G said that the opinion of the friend changed M's view on what happened

- Friend said G was being emotionally manipulative about the situation

- G started accusing M of ruining that day again and kept blaming M

- G didn't listent to what M had to say

- Eventually M would apologised and admit is her fault -> G finally calmed down and showed affection

- G would keep getting M to apologise for being "terrible"

- Causing a cycle which M would bring up an issue -> G would threatened to break up -> M begging for G to not leave and saying sorry multiple times -> G eventually showing affection

WHY BREAKUP?

- G told M that she was bored of her

- G would claim that there was ‘no more spark’

- G admitted that she saw M as a burden

- M reached out to strangers on discord to ask for their opinion

- was informed that everything that had been going on was emotional abuse

- M was pushed to break up with G

AFTER THE BREAKUP:

- both decided to stay in contact as friends

- 2 weeks after breaking up, G tried to guilt trip M into meeting up in real life with her. M said no.

- M and G met up multiple times after the breakup

- During the meetups, G would constantly touch M without permission (lean head on shoulder, hold arm, bump shoulders etcetc.) M was uncomfortable but didn’t say anything (there was a witness for this)

- long story short G lovebombed M with gifts and affection and made M dependent on her again but more purposely this time.

- G then withdrew everything

- G became cold and distant again and M has to beg for affection again

Others:

- G would constantly misgender a trans person and have ableistic humor with her friend group. (The group would often throw the r-slur)

Khada (standing) Parsi, Byculla

After over two years of tedious restoration work, the iconic 150-year-old “Khada Parsi” statue, a Grade I heritage monument in Mumbai, was unveiled on Friday in the presence of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackarey.

The 40-feet tall, cast-iron monument has a statue of Seth Cursetjee Manockjee (1763-1845), a nineteenth century Parsi businessman-education reformer, perched atop a Corinthian pillar with sculptures of four mermaids surrounding the base.

Standing tall at the busy Byculla flyover junction, it is the only cast-iron statue in the city and according to project consulting architect, Pankaj Joshi, one of only two such statues in the world. “The other is the statue of Cires in Chile,” he said. The estimated cost of the project, which was undertaken by the Brihanmumbai Muncipal Corporation, was just under Rs 1 Crore and Rs 6 lakh would be spent annually for maintenance, Mr. Joshi said.

Built in the 1860s, the monument was commissioned by Cursetjee’s son youngest Manockjee Cursetjee as a tribute to his father, at a cost of Rs 1 lakh. The ornamental statue was in desperate need of attention as it had acquired a reddish-brown patina of dust and had numerous parts missing or stolen over the years.

The four-feet-tall lamps were stolen in the seventies and the fountain at the base of the Corinthian column had also almost disappeared. The lamps, which had gone missing, have been replaced and the fountain – water issues from the conches being blown by the mermaids – has been repaired. The mermaid water fountain at the base has been made up of black basalt rock brought from Rajasthan.

“The statue's base was below the ground when we started work and our main task was to integrate it with the adjoining landscape,” said Mr. Joshi. A glossy black monument will now greet passers-by. Over 400-odd pieces, which were lost from the original figure due to corrosion and impact damage, have been restored. The stones used for restoration were brought from Rajasthan, Mangalore and Nagpur.
