Aqua Tower By Studio Gang In Chicago
Aqua Tower is an 82-story mixed-use skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Designed by Studio Gang Architects, Aqua Tower combines a hotel, offices, rental apartments, condominiums, and parking, along with one of Chicago’s largest green roofs. According to architects, the design of the building was inspired by the striated limestone outcroppings common in the Great Lakes area. But this sinuous shape is not just a mere formal gesture, but it is also a strategy to extend the views and maximize solar shading.

Tumblr media
New York City—a place where dreams come true. That’s where you are, in one of the flashiest skyscraper type buildings for the afternoon. You dazzled the world, enough for your manager to get a call asking if you’d be on the cover of Vogue. You were ecstatic, wide-eyed that this was even happening, but here you were in a private studio getting pampered and all glamorous for the magazine shoot. It was all surreal, but the best part about it was that Joel was here for you. 
   The camera flashes your way, clicking every few seconds as the photographer moves around and shouts instructions at you. “Turn around, now look at me, big smiles! Beautiful!” Jacque yells excitedly, his thick French accent bouncing off the ivory walls. 
   The sunlight spills through the large glass windows looking over the city, a glittering crystal chandelier hangs in the middle of the room. The light pink backdrop behind you blends in with the bright lights beaming down at you. The furniture is a lavish cream color, the couch made of velvet. The whole room is practically made for a royal princess. Guess this makes you one. You still can’t believe you’re going to be on the cover of Vogue; it’s almost like you’re walking in a dream.
   “Hey, keep up that smile. I’ve got to head out to meet with some of the tour managers, but I’ll see you later, okay?” Your stylish manager Trish waves, and you give her a nod, watching her walk over to where Joel’s sitting on the far side of the couch. 
   “You take care of her today, got it?” she asks with a knowing gaze, giving him a tight lipped smile because she knows he will.
   “Yes, ma’am. Always do.” He gives her a tip of his head, a tousled curl falling into the center of his forehead until he pushes it back with a large palm gliding through his lush hair. She walks off just as he looks back at you, giving you a flirtatious wink that sends pink to your cheeks.
   “Look right at the camera, angel. Perfect,” your photographer beams as another click comes from his expensive camera.
   Your dress is short, icy white with crystals covering the silky fabric. This was your third outfit change, the last dress to finish off the photoshoot. The dress barely grazes your thighs, the fur coat hanging off your shoulders making the room feel stifling. You know the real reason why you’re burning up, and it’s not the fur coat or the temperature of the room. It’s because Joel Miller can’t take his eyes off you in the corner of the room. 
   Your eyes flick toward his every few poses, your body turning just enough to get a view of him from your peripheral vision. You can feel the heat coming off his large body, even if he’s all the way across the room. 
   You can almost taste the coffee flavor that simmers on his tongue, watching him take another sip from his ceramic mug the hosts gave him this morning. You’re dying to have a moment alone with him again, wanting so badly to wrap your arms around his neck and devour his taste with your tongue. Just like that night at Coachella when you were wrapped up in his arms all night long.
   You turn your back to the photographer, peeking over your shoulder while you tease the camera with a wink and a scrunched up nose. You hear Joel choke on a sip of coffee, clearing his throat as he readjusts his position on the velvet couch. You giggle at the sound, knowing you were the one that nearly made him fall off the side of it. You love to tease him, and you know he loves it just as much as you do. 
   “Eyes right here. There, beautiful! Okay, come sit on the ledge by the window for me. Yes, wonderful,” he claps, watching you get into place. 
   You decide to focus back on the camera, back on what you should be paying attention to. You can’t concentrate on anything when Joel is in a room, though. He’ll surely get you into trouble one of these days.
Tumblr media
   Joel sits with his back glued to the couch, legs splayed wide, a large hand running up and down the scruff of his face. He can’t keep his eyes off you, can’t seem to stop being mesmerized by the beauty that stands before him. He thinks you look like an angel. Bright lights shining on your little white dress, beautiful eyes silhouetted by the soft curls that spiral down your shoulders. And your legs. God, your legs. Long, tanned thighs that are thick and toned. He thinks you’re so very perfect. Beautiful, smart, kind, funny. Well, you’re everything he’s ever wanted.
   It takes everything in his power to hold himself back from you right now. His fingers dig into the edge of the couch with every turn your body makes, his heart thunders with every flick of your eyes in his direction. He’s so enamoured by every move you make that it makes his mind tick with endless possibilities. 
   He still can’t believe he had you in the trailer at Coachella a few weeks ago, can’t fathom that his lips have been on every inch of your soft skin, his cock buried deep in your pretty pussy. He still remembers how you taste. Vanilla scented skin, citrus flavors flowing down your thighs, your sweet release stuck on his taste buds like it’s his new favorite brand of whiskey. Your melodic moans echo through his mind night after night when he’s twisting in his sheets, begging to hear those pretty sounds purring in the shell of his ear. 
   It’s getting harder for him to control himself around you in public, his fingers buzzing every time your smooth skin brushes against his hand on the side of the street. He wants to tangle his fingers through yours, brush your knuckles against his lips while you lean your head on his shoulder. One day he’ll get to. But for now, he’ll enjoy every single second you have together in the privacy of his own home. 
   He watches you lean against the cascading windows, sees your beautiful smile beaming through the sunlight. You’re so angelic that it makes him want to fall to his knees, worship you like you deserve to be. He’s completely head over heels for you, has been since the moment he met you. It’s not just your looks, your perfect body, your lilty voice. No. He sees how pure your heart is, knows exactly the type of girl you are. 
   The public eye doesn’t know you like he does. They think you’re just some fashionista pop star who likes attention. You’re not superficial, not stuck up, not anything like the fans think. He knows the real you, and he swears you’re the shiniest diamond in the rough. Sweet, kind, caring, and so devoted to spreading awareness on important issues in the world. He doesn’t know how he got so lucky, but he counts his blessings every day for taking a job that led him to you. His shining star.
Tumblr media
   The photographer leads you back in front of the pink backdrop, telling you to turn and flip your hair to the camera. You do as he says, giving him the best smile you can muster. “Okay, push your hair back. Just a little,” he asks nicely. You flip your hair behind your shoulders, feeling the fur coat slip further down your arms. 
   “No, honey. Try again. Where’s Cynthia when you need her?” He looks around, finding the room empty of your makeup artist. “Rats. I need to adjust my lense, one second. Joel!” Joel’s eyes go wide, and he sits up straight on the edge of the couch. “Come here for a second, will you? I need you to try to fix her hair, and take her coat off for me. Need to adjust this, be back in two minutes,” he says as he rushes into the other room.
   Joel walks timidly over to you, one foot in front of the other. His blue flannel clinging to his broad shoulders, material binded to his large biceps. He rolls his sleeves up carefully, exposing those long, thick veins that pave the way to his big hands. 
   Your breaths come in waves, your skin glistening with nervous sweat the closer he gets. It’s so hard to hold back when all you want is to jump in his arms, have him scoop you up as he lets you bury your face into the warmth of his chest. That’s all you want right now, all you need. 
   Two more steps and he’s right in front of you, almond eyes gazing down at you, a crooked smile forming over his mouth. He brushes his fingertips slowly over your jaw, delicately tracing his calloused thumb under the bottom of your glossy lips. You almost fall into his broad chest, almost close your eyes and inhale his woodsy cologne that’s stuck to your lilac sheets back at home. You wish the photographer would never come back. He could just leave you alone with Joel in the private space of this loft, and that’d be perfectly fine with you. 
   He pushes an out of place curl behind your ear, tracing the edge of your cheek while his other hand pushes your hair behind your shoulders, lingering a hand over the bare skin on your arm. You blink up at him, nerves buzzing through your lower region, and you wish you could stay in this moment forever. 
   “Do I look okay?” you ask nervously, fluttering your eyelashes up at him as he gives you a deep chuckle in response. 
   “You’re drop dead gorgeous, sweetheart. Not even the sun could outshine you right now.” His words are soft, fingers still lingering over your heated cheeks. Your mouth drops open, still digesting the words that just came from his open lips. 
   “Oh, that’s a… that’s…” Before you can say anything else Joel helps you slide the fur coat off, his calloused fingers skating down your glittery skin as you feel hot fire run through your veins. 
   “You know… I can’t stop thinking about that night at Coachella. The first time I kissed you, tasted you, felt you…” He cups your chin, pulling your face up to his as he gazes deeply into your eyes. You can’t move, can’t speak when his lips are this close to your skin. It’s like everything around you just stops in time. There’s no photographer, no waiting camera, nobody else here except you and Joel. It’s your room, your moment, all yours. 
   “Joel…” you whisper, feeling his lips close in, barely grazing against the gloss of yours. 
   “Yeah, pretty girl?” he asks, his warm breath blowing across the top of your lips. 
   “Kiss me…”
   Just as he’s about to press his lips to yours, Jacque swiftly struts into the room, and Joel jumps back with your jacket in hand, running a hand nervously through his tousled curls as he flicks his brown doe eyes to you and backs up to the couch. 
   You sigh, your heart still lodged in your throat. You were so close to being right where you wanted to be, right on Joel’s lips where it’s warm and inviting and feels like home. 
   “Eyes on me, gorgeous. Push your fingers through your hair and give me that beautiful smile!” Jacque starts flashing the camera, and you pose and smile, giving him your most flirty positions. You feel Joel’s eyes searing into you, undressing every piece of material on your skin, lighting a fire in your core that only he can create.
   He’s a wildfire, and he burns. 
   After a few minutes the photoshoot ends, and Jacque is sending you off with a hug and multiple kisses to your cheek. “Stupendous, darling! I’ll get these edited and back to you in a few days. So nice to work with you again. Keep in touch!”
   You say your goodbyes and let him pack up his belongings while you slip into the changing room and get undressed quickly. Your zipper catches on the sheer material, and memories flash in your mind of the night Joel came into your trailer and helped you out, which led to his lips on yours and then down to your core…
   Shaking the steamy memories away, you slide on a white sundress and leave your photoshoot clothes hanging on a hook. Your stylist said she’d be back later to take your things, so now you’re free to roam around New York City.
   Taking one more look in the mirror to make sure your hair and makeup are in check, you slide on a pair of white Converse and exit the room, entering back into Joel’s vicinity where it’s hot and stifling.
   “You ready to go explore the city, pretty girl?” he whispers out, his hot breath fanning across the shell of your ear which makes goosebumps explode down the width of your arms.
   “Mmm. If it means I get you all to myself today then yes,” you smile, drawing closer to his body, your arm sliding against his discreetly while you walk to the door. His large hand brushes yours when he opens the door for you, and his other hand guides you forward, his fingers tracing against the small of your back like electricity. 
   Once you’re out of sight, his fingers lace through yours and he tugs you toward the lavish elevator, planting a kiss on the crown of your head. “‘Course, sweetheart. You can get me to yourself all day, any day. Jus’ say the words and I’m yours,” he purrs, making your heart swell at the soft words.
   “You have me, Joel. I’m all yours, but only if you’re mine.”
   “I’m all yours, baby.” 
   Before the elevator makes it up to the top floor, Joel pulls you flush to his broad chest and cups the back of your head, drawing you close until his lips meld with yours. It’s like fireworks exploding, sparks flying when his lips connect with yours. It’s like this right here is meant to be. And the feelings inside you are explosive like dynamite. You’re falling for him. Hard.
   The quiet ding of the elevator forces your lips apart. Luckily, no one else is in the elevator, so you have it all to yourselves. He shuffles you inside and clicks the button, lighting up the number one, and then the doors close with a bang.
   The air is stifling in here, lust and feelings permeating like a thick fog around your head. All you can see is Joel’s glittering brown eyes that have trouble and need swirling inside those chocolate irises that stare you down like he wants to devour you. And you’ll let him. God, you’ll let him.
   “God, you’re so beautiful,” he drawls out like smooth butter, making your breath hitch at the words of affirmation.
   “You think so?” you whisper out quietly.
   “It’s not a question, baby. It’s a fact.”
   One hand lingers on the curve of your hip, the other traces softly down your jawline, his thumb brushing against your bottom lip dangerously slow like he’s memorizing every crevice and line of your glossy lips. 
   “I think,” he says while he backs you up against the wall, his arms caging you in on each side so there’s no escape, “you’re the most beautiful girl in the world. And the things I want to do to you shouldn’t even be allowed.” His chest is flush with yours, crowding your space until you can smell every inch of his coffee and woodsy scents colliding together, starting fires deep in your core. 
   Your lips part, and you look up innocently into those lust-filled pits. “So, what are you going to do with me? You going to be my well behaved bodyguard or are you going to fuck me right now, Joel?”
   It only takes a second for him to snap. He hits a button on the wall until the elevator is completely stopped, not even caring that we could be caught. He doesn’t care because all he can think about is having his cock stuffed deep inside you until you’re screaming his name in pure pleasure.
   Taking you up against the cool wall, he lifts you up, slides his hand up your dress till you’re a panting mess just waiting for him to eat you alive. Your legs clamp around his hips; your lips moan his name as he skates his calloused fingers up your skin, and then his lips crash against yours. Hot bliss courses through your veins, his tongue tangling with yours. You drink down his coffee taste, revel in the feel of his palm rutting against your clothed core, making slick crash against the lace material. 
   It’s not enough. You’re not close enough, can’t breathe unless you’re skin to skin to him, his body above you, crushing you to the mattress as he lights your body on fire with each stroke of his tongue, each thrust of his hips, each taste of his plush lips. And he knows. So he crushes his broad body against yours and slips your lace to the side till his fingers circle tightly against your aching bundle of nerves. 
   “Joel,” you pant into his open mouth, letting him devour you with each flick of his tongue. 
   “Hm?” He doesn’t stop. Doesn’t mutter a word more, just swallows your pretty moans. His thick finger are tantalizing. Deft motions taking you to places that only Joel knows how to get you to. 
   Your head falls back against the cool metal wall as white-hot heat slides through your core, your walls clenching around nothing. You’re almost there, almost tearing through your body just as Joel’s deep voice breaks through the fire that’s burning you alive. 
   “Go on, pretty girl. Let me see you,” he drawls out, his lips dragging down your neck, mouth nipping your collarbone. 
   With one more stroke of his big fingers, you’re done for. “Joelll,” you moan, your eyes screwed shut as heat floods down your thighs. Slick covers Joel’s palm, and he audibly growls as he watches you come undone just for him. 
   “There ya go. So pretty, baby,” he hums, warm breath blowing over your mouth. 
   He doesn’t even let you catch your breath till he’s unzipping his fly, shoving his pants and boxers down. His hard length lines up against your slick folds, his swollen tip nudging gently against your opening until you’re practically begging him to take you. 
   “Need you,” you pant, breathless as you slide forward and feel him start to push through your slickness. 
   “Use your words,” he teases, his hand sliding down your back, holding you up off the floor. 
   “Need your… need all of you. Need you inside me,” you whine, lips parted when he smirks devilishly your way. 
   “That’s all you had to say,” he chuckles. Then he’s wasting no time. He thrusts deep inside you, till he bottoms out. Till you feel him everywhere. 
   Gasping, you take a deep breath, let him pound into you, let him fill you with his thick cock and his languid strokes. He scratches that itch against your spongy walls, takes you all the way to heaven each time he kisses your cervix. He feels so good, always hits just the right spot. It’s like he knows you inside and out. Knows exactly what to do to get you to a mind-blowing orgasm. 
   “Oh, fuck,” you whine as he thrusts deeper, harder, until you feel all of him, all at once. 
   “Yeah? That right?” he chuckles as he thrusts once more, repeats the motions languidly. “Takin’ me so good, pretty popstar. Always take my cock so well,” he groans, fusing his lips right under the shell of your ear, hitting another sweet spot as heat slides down your spine. 
   “You’re all I need, Joel. Your lips, your cock, your hands, your everything,” you sing out as he ruts as deep as he can. 
   “Well, you’re all I need too, darlin’. All I fuckin’ think about is havin’ you in my arms,” he drawls out through a grunt. You feel he’s almost there. Feel his cock swell inside you, see his eyebrows thread together, hear the struggle in his deep breaths. 
   But you’re right there too. You were the moment he spoke those sweet words. Letting your walls squeeze around his thick cock, you let him know you’re right there too. “Joel, you’re gonna make me—”
   “Come for me. Come on my cock. Wanna feel you squeeze me,” he slurs through each ragged breath, his hand squeezing around your hip, thrusts speeding up with each word that leaves his beautiful mouth. 
   So you do. Clenching around him, you let his unrelenting thrusts take you over the edge. Pressing your forehead against his, you feel your climax wash over you. Moaning through it, calling his name through the small elevator, you give him everything. Slick coats his cock, washes over him. And then he lets his release take hold seconds later. With one more jut of his hips, he spills his hot seed inside you, claims you as his own with each syllable of your name dripping off his tongue. You let it wash through you, soak him up till you’re certain his DNA is mixed with yours. You’re both tangled together, bodies twisted around one another, peppering soft kisses against each other’s mouths. 
   His forehead falls against yours as he slowly releases your legs from around his hips, sets you down gently to where your feet are planted on the floor. And he slowly adjusts your panties back in place, makes sure you’re put back together after he just tore you apart. Your hands slide up his broad chest once he’s done adjusting his pants back in place. He cups your cheek, looks at you like a man in love. And maybe he is. You see it through the stars twinkling in his brown flecks, see it in his dreamy smile, feel it in the way he touches you—like you’re made of gold dust. And it’s right on the tip of your tongue, right on the edge of his. You can feel it everywhere, dancing around you like it’s been floating there, waiting for this moment. 
   He tips your chin up, looks at you like no one else has, and then it’s there slipping off his tongue into the warm air. “You know, I never imagined I’d be falling in love with the girl I’m supposed to be protecting, but here I am. Already fallen for my pretty popstar.”
   Your lips part, words lost as love serenades through your bloodstream. He just said he’s falling in love… “You… love me?” you whisper out, fingers curling around the front of his soft flannel, eyes blurring through the meaning. 
   He nods, gives you a crooked smile, brown eyes glinting. “I do, babygirl. I love you.”
   You gasp, drag your hand through his tousled curls, stand on your toes so you can brush your mouth over his. “I love you too, my big, soft bodyguard.”
   He scoops you up into his big arms, presses his lips against yours until all you can taste is him. You revel in his touch, the words still dragging over his tongue. I love you, I love you, I love you. 
   You let him brush his knuckles over your cheek, allow him to tangle his fingers through your hair, let him whisper words of affirmation through each kiss, each stroke of his tanned skin. 
   When he parts from your lips, he stands back, eyes slipping over you for a beat, memorizing this moment in time. This special, once in a lifetime moment. He breaks the silence with his husky breath. “Guess we should get out of here?” he asks, knocking his knuckles on the elevator door. 
   You sigh, wanting to stay in this little bubble forever. But you can’t, so you nod. “Yeah, should get out of here.”
   With one more tilt of his head, he presses the lit-up button, till the elevator starts moving down again. 
   You blink up at him, wondering what comes next. Wondering if this can really go on outside these closed-up walls. You know what your publicist will say, know what the tabloids will throw together. Some ridiculous scandal they’ll say. A fling that won’t last. Word will get out to the crowds, your label, your manager. But you just don’t care. You don’t fucking care what anyone says because they don’t know you and Joel. They don’t know us. 
   Us. Yes. You’re an item now, inseparable. And you don’t plan on ever letting that change now. You’ll just hold on to him till the inevitable happens. But maybe this will last. Maybe it’ll end with a rock on your finger, his lips against yours down the aisle, a honeymoon you never want to come back from. Because this feels like forever. And maybe you want it to be. 
   When the elevator doors slide open and you scuff your Converse against the smooth marble floors, you feel blood rushing through your veins, hear static inside your eardrums with each step you get closer to the glass doors. The ones that’ll lead you out to the public. 
   As you close in on your last steps, you stop, look over at Joel. He’s got the same expression as you. Knit eyebrows, jaw ticked, a little worry dancing through his glazed-over eyes. “So,” he asks, worry masking his deep bravado. 
   “So,” you repeat, your heart thrumming through your chest. 
   He slicks a hand back through his curls, sighs when he drops his hand. “We doin’ this?” he asks, the back of his knuckles brushing against yours. 
  You flick your eyes to the closed doors, look outside the gigantic city with big buildings and sunlight streaming through grey clouds. Just as fear takes hold, it disappears the moment he holds his open palm out, waiting for you to take it. 
   Biting your bottom lip, you hover over his hand, think about the consequences of your actions. “What about the paparazzi?”
   He shrugs, slides the fear away. “Don’t care about ‘em. All I care about is you,” he listlessly says, firm on his decision. 
   You melt over his doe eyes, sink a little into the floor. “You really want to take this into the public, where everyone can see?” you ask with wide eyes, feeling a little safer as his calloused fingers glide over your open hand. 
   “I’m tired of hiding, darlin’. I jus’ wanna hold my girlfriend’s hand out in public. Wanna take you shopping and to go eat at that fancy spaghetti restaurant you love. Wanna kiss you under the sunlight and take you on real dates. Wanna make you mine, sweetheart.”
   You lace your fingers through his, seal the deal with a squeeze. “Then I’m all yours, handsome. In private, in public. I could care less about the tabloids. All I want is for my boyfriend to hold my hand while we stroll down the streets together.”
   Joel cups your chin, lifts your mouth to his and crashes into you with a heart-stopping kiss. One that could shatter the earth. You melt into him, forget everything else that’s going on around you, even ignore the person that strolls around the two of you in the lobby. It’s just you and Joel. Nothing else matters. 
   When he leans back, he gives you a wide smile, squeezes your hand and opens the door wide for you. Fresh air kisses your skin, makes you a little breathless when he locks his fingers around yours and leads you down Central Avenue. 
   “C’mon, pretty girl. Let’s go explore New York the way it was meant to be explored. With you right by my side, my hand in yours.”
   And then the rest is history. You don’t care about the flash of cameras around the corner. All you can focus on is his hand in yours, his body shielding you from anyone that’s not him, and the twinkle of his brown eyes filled with love. 
   Love. You’re so in love with your bodyguard, and he’s in love with you. Just a popstar destined to find her bodyguard. The bodyguard that’d change your life forever. 
   Mine.

Tumblr media

Pairing: stalker!deadpool x office worker reader
Word Count: 1.3k
Warnings: stalking, trespassing, noncon, dubcon
Tumblr media
He didn’t realize he was so fascinated with you initially. At first glance, you looked like any other plain Jane office worker in the city: rushing to the front of the cafe to grab a tray of half-cold coffees before bolting out the door. 
Why is she in such a hurry, he mused to himself, watching you scurry down the block, the corner of your white blouse poking out of your gray pencil skirt. Acting like she’s saving the world or about to perform brain surgery or something. Another Marvel Jesus wannabe. What makes her think she’s so important anyway?
He went back to sipping his bitter espresso, returning to his original state of solitude, until he couldn’t shake you out of his head. Fuck it. Something urged him to get out of his seat, leave the coffee store, and follow you out.
He trailed behind you by about a block or so. He took note of your black tights, and how your skirt ended at the mid-level of your thighs. And that stupid click-clack sound of your heels against the cobblestone. So self-righteous.
He eventually followed you into a skyscraper building. He watched you weave through the crowd, past the front desk, and into a back elevator. Wade quickened his pace to be able to catch you just in the nick of time. 
He darted into the elevator right before the doors were about to close. 
“Floor?” you asked politely, looking up at him with those god awful innocent eyes that made him want to bend you over the nearest desk and fuck you senseless. 
“I’m so glad you asked!” he piped, ever so chipper. “I’ll be.. Uh. Floor. 85.”
“Oh, this building only has 60 floors!” you said. “Which department are you going to? Oooh, love the costume by the way. Maybe you’re headed to the photo studio? That’s going to be on 54. You take a left, then a right, and.. it should be straight there!”
And so polite too. God, could she be anymore insufferable, Deadpool thought to himself, tilting his head to the side as if to psychoanalyze your disposition. 
“Does.. that sound right?” you asked, a bit nervous now that the stranger dressed in all black and red sharing the enclosed space with you was no longer speaking. 
“Yes,” he replied, a little bit too quickly for comfort.
You pushed the corresponding button without another word, and then retreated back to your corner of the elevator. A few seconds of silence passed when your phone suddenly started beeping out of control. 
“Hello?” you asked nervously. “Oh! I’m so sorry. I’m coming right away. Yes? Uh huh. Mhm. Okay. Got it. Thank you. Bye.” You ended the call with a subtle click and slipped the phone back into your pocket. 
So she’s eager to please. A perfectionist. Interesting, he thought, jotting down a mental note. 
The elevator reached an upcoming floor with a crisp ‘ding’, followed by the doors gliding open.
“Have a great day!” you called over your shoulder as you stepped out, about to walk expeditiously to your cubicle, balancing the tray of coffees in your shaky grip. “Oh, and you should take one of these, they are still hot!”
You handed him one of the skinny vanilla lattes in the tray before the elevator doors closed between you. 
Wade took it without a thought. And he didn’t hesitate to follow you, of course. Ducking behind office plants and hallway walls just to see where you were going without drawing too much attention. He was quick enough to catch a glimpse of your full name on your cubicle placard. 
Bullseye, he thought mischievously to himself, before slinking away into the nearest stairwell. 
He somehow directed himself to the records department in the basement, carefully rifling through the employee directory to match your name with any corresponding information. 
“Y/N..” he muttered to himself, leafing through the enormous book in the back of the storage room. “Goddamnit. Where the hell are you.. Aha! Full government name, phone number, and mailing address. Who even needs those shady paywalled identity finder websites anyways.”
Later that evening, he made it a point to break into your apartment before you came home. He was methodical, ensuring to cover all his steps, so that no trace was left behind. The lock to your doorknob was easy enough to pick. It look several bent-out-of-shape paper clips of course, and a lot of perseverance, but he somehow cracked the code. 
He liked the way you decorated your space. Those cute little succulents in clay pots with smiley faces on them. Colorful candles and warm-toned tarps. Trinkets and crystals adorning cherry wooden shelves. Overgrown plants strewn across the floor. And books. Heaps of them. 
“Well I’ll be,” he huffed to himself, standing in the center of the living room, hands on his hips. “I never took you to be an interior designer. Chip and Joanna would have a run for their money if they ever got a load of this..”
He played with the string of beads you hung from the ceiling, until the wooden dresser you had pushed into the corner caught his attention. 
“Ohohohoho, now what do we have here..” he chuckled, prancing around your furniture to open up the first drawer. He was immediately greeted by your collection of underwear, folded neatly and sorted in a way he pictured an office worker would. He flickered his fingertips over the tops of them, as if he was a kid in a candy store picking out his favorite treat. 
“So organized and efficient!” he commented, rifling through the perfectly placed rows and columns with curiosity. “It’s like the love child of OCD and a very high grade personality disorder.. color me impressed.”
“Eenie, meenie, minie, you!” he exclaimed with glee, eyeing a pair of stretchy, black tights and lifting it out as if he was plucking a rose from a vine.  
Just like the ones she wore this morning, he mused.
His fingers glided across the fabric, gently rubbing it between his thumb and forefinger. He stretched it out as much as he could, pulling it, teasing it, pretending as if it was on you. 
He decided to get comfortable on your couch, playing with your tights in between his gloved fingertips. 
“Well, out of all the things I’ve done to be put on a government watchlist, this one definitely takes the cake,” he murmured to himself as he lazily lifted up his mask, licking the stretched out nylon with his greedy tongue. He sucked on it desperately, as if he could somehow taste you on the fabric, his saliva dripping down the side of his chin. 
His fingers twirled around the black bows on the sides, pulling so hard one of them came undone. Without wasting another moment, he unbuckled his belt and slightly zipped down his fly, releasing his already hardened cock. Slipping the dainty cloth over it, he began to indulge himself in a way that he never predicted he would this morning. 
He tilted his head back into the soft cushion of the sofa, stroking himself with your elastic tights between his fingertips, imagining you were bouncing on top of him with them on. 
“Fuck, Y/N..” he breathed, gritting his teeth as he continued to pleasure himself. “Why did you have to wear something so slutty at 7 in the morning? I mean what kind of a sociopath does such a thing? You’d think people would have common courtesy these days, but I guess not.”
He groaned softly as he came into your tights, his cum infiltrating through the thin fabric, leaving them absolutely soaked. Breathing heavily, he got up to toss the tainted pantyhose into the trash. 
Finding a scrap piece of paper and pen, he decided to leave you a little note of gratitude on your kitchen table before he left your apartment, scribbling a messy sketch of his mask making a blushing face and a lop-sided heart: 
“Thanks for the coffee!”

oh to be a prima ballerina rehearsing for to pianist sunday’s beautiful melodies, not a single hitch in the way his fingers expertly glide across the keys, not even as he watches you with soft, lidded eyes and a feathery smile, gaze trailing after your graceful movements while you twirl and leap around the empty studio ♡
it’s just the two of you now, and the sun has long since set, the full floor-to-ceiling windows revealing the twinkling silhouette of the city, skyscrapers peering in as you dance for them.
but even the skyscrapers are beginning to sleep, their dazzle dimming as the night wears on, the usually busy streets below rendered still and silent, sporadically blanketed by the hush of a lone car drifting by.
it must be quite late.
“just one last time, please?” you look over at him, hopeful, brow teetering on the edge of a wince, as if anticipating a reprimand. “i just—i wanna make sure it’s perfect.”
“not a problem,” sunday says with a single duck of his head, dutiful and polite. anything for you, darling.
and then the music starts up again, smooth and harmonious, and your body begins to move, whirling across the hardwood, and that wispy little grin returns to his face, sunset irises tracing your every step.
together, his music and your body become a singular entity, wrapped up in each other and moving as one, breathing as one, being as one, a mellifluous sight.
it’s awe-inspiring, a truly religious experience, to witness the way you almost float on the notes he produces, melodies flowing seamlessly with every pirouette and jeté.
his music transforms you into something ethereal, something not of this world, and sunday would wear his fingers down to the bone several times over just to keep watching.

Through Another’s Eyes
Tumblr media
Elliot Bennett had always thought his job was peculiar, to say the least. He worked at Mimic Studio, a company renowned for its hyper-realistic masks. These weren’t the kind of masks you’d find at a costume shop; they were masterpieces, crafted with such precision that they transformed the wearer entirely. Each came with a full outfit, contact lenses to match the eye color, and shoes to complete the look. Mimic catered to movie studios, high-end cosplayers, and a few private clients who didn’t explain why they needed to look like someone else.
Elliot was a junior marketing intern, responsible for social media posts. He wasn’t an artist; and never got close to the merchandise. That evening, he found himself alone at the studio, the whirring machines and half-finished molds silent around him. It was rare for him to have the space to himself, and as he walked into the Mask Room, he couldn’t help but feel the pull of curiosity.
The Mask Room was where the completed works were displayed—rows and rows of lifelike faces suspended on mannequin heads. The designs ranged from average-looking men to strikingly handsome models. The outfits accompanying them hung nearby, tailored to perfection. Elliot’s eyes landed on a mask he’d never seen before: a rugged, stubbled face with piercing blue eyes and a square jaw. The tag read: "Jason – Outdoorsman."
He hesitated but finally gave in, locking the door to ensure no one walked in on him.
Elliot unhooked the mask and carried it to the changing area. The accompanying outfit was folded neatly beside it: a flannel shirt, distressed jeans, and brown hiking boots. His fingers tingled with excitement and nerves as he stripped out of his work clothes, standing in just his socks before pulling on the jeans. They fit snugly, hugging his legs in a way that made him glance at himself in the full-length mirror.
The flannel shirt was next—soft, perfectly worn in, and rolled up at the cuffs. He slipped on the boots, their weight and rugged soles giving him the impression he’d just come back from a mountain hike.
Now for the mask.
Elliot picked it up, marveling at the detail: the faint freckles across the nose, the hint of crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. He stretched it gently, noticing how pliable yet durable the material felt, before slipping it over his head. The inside was cool against his skin, and he adjusted the edges until they blended perfectly with his neck.
When he looked in the mirror, he gasped. Jason the Outdoorsman stared back at him. Elliot popped in the blue contact lenses, completing the transformation. His reflection didn’t just look like someone else—it felt like someone else. He smirked, tilting his head, running a hand over the stubble that felt impossibly real.
“Damn,” he muttered, his voice slightly muffled by the mask. He rolled his shoulders, suddenly feeling like he could chop wood or trek through a forest.
He could’ve stopped there, but the thrill was addictive. Elliot peeled off the mask reluctantly, placed it back on its stand, and scanned the shelves for his next choice. His eyes landed on "Mason – Business Tycoon."
The outfit was a three-piece suit: charcoal gray with a crisp white shirt, a silk tie, and polished black dress shoes. Elliot stripped down again, feeling a bit silly standing in his boxers in the sterile studio, but excitement overpowered his hesitation.
The suit fit him like a glove, the fabric smooth and expensive against his skin. He adjusted the tie, the Windsor knot sitting perfectly at his throat. The shoes, shiny enough to see his reflection, clicked satisfyingly on the tiled floor.
Mason’s mask was next. It had a clean-shaven jaw, slightly tanned skin, and sharp cheekbones. Once he slipped it on, he inserted the hazel contact lenses and stared at himself.
He looked powerful. Confident. Like a man who owned skyscrapers and never took no for an answer. He straightened his tie in the mirror and let out a low laugh.
“What’s my next big deal?” he joked to himself, his voice deep and commanding.
By now, Elliot was fully immersed in the game. He pulled Mason off, carefully reassembling the set, and reached for something more daring. His hand hovered over a mask labeled "Ryan – Rock Star."
The outfit was bold: ripped black jeans, a leather jacket, a fitted black T-shirt, and combat boots. There were even accessories—silver rings, a chain necklace, and sunglasses.
Slipping into the clothes felt like stepping into a different world. The leather jacket was buttery soft, the rings cool against his fingers. He placed the sunglasses on top of his head, letting them rest in his tousled brown wig—the mask came with hair this time, styled in perfectly disheveled waves.
Ryan’s face had a roguish smirk, a faint scar above his eyebrow, and piercing green eyes. Once he had the mask on, Elliot completed the look with the green lenses and stepped back.
He didn’t just look like a rock star. He felt like one. He struck a pose, pretending to hold a guitar, and laughed.
“This is insane,” he muttered, his voice raspy and full of swagger.
Elliot was riding a high. Each transformation was more thrilling than the last. He could feel the studio’s silence around him, but it only heightened the sense of intimacy with his newfound game. Placing the rock star set carefully back on its stand, he scanned the rows for his next choice.
His gaze landed on something unusual: a mask labeled "Liam – Athlete." The mannequin head sported a short buzz cut and a face glistening with sweat, as if Liam had just finished a grueling workout.
The outfit was a basketball jersey and matching shorts, complete with a pair of size-13 sneakers. A duffel bag sat beside the mannequin, holding accessories like a wristband and a water bottle.
Elliot couldn’t resist. He stripped down and pulled on the jersey and shorts. They felt cool and lightweight, clinging to his body in a way that made him acutely aware of every movement. The sneakers were enormous compared to his regular size, but they fit perfectly, thanks to the padding built into the soles.
The mask was different from the others—it came with a slight sheen, replicating the effect of perspiration. Elliot slipped it on, adjusting it carefully, and popped in the brown contact lenses.
The mirror revealed someone who looked fresh off a basketball court: a chiseled jawline, a confident smirk, and broad shoulders that seemed almost too big to be his own. Elliot flexed an arm experimentally, laughing at how the mask made his wiry frame appear like a professional athlete’s.
“Game on,” he said, his voice carrying a new edge.
As he returned Liam’s set to its place, Elliot felt something shift. The masks weren’t just disguises anymore; they were identities. Each time he looked in the mirror, he felt less like Elliot and more like the man staring back.
He hesitated, his hand hovering over a shelf filled with more masks. Should he stop? He shook his head. No one was here to judge him. He could stop whenever he wanted.
His fingers brushed against a mask labeled "Dominic – Undercover Agent." The face was rugged, with a five o’clock shadow and a slight scar running down one cheek. The outfit was a tactical ensemble: a black turtleneck, combat pants, and utility boots. A leather holster and fake earpiece completed the look.
This time, Elliot didn’t hesitate. He undressed quickly, feeling a rush as he pulled on the tactical pants and secured the belt around his waist. The turtleneck hugged his frame, making him feel both sleek and dangerous.
The boots were heavier than the others, clunking solidly on the floor as he paced. Finally, he pulled on Dominic’s mask, the material molding perfectly to his features. The scar added an air of danger, and the steely gray contact lenses gave his gaze an intensity that made him shiver.
When he stared into the mirror, Elliot felt like a stranger to himself. He reached for the holster, strapping it across his chest, and slid the fake earpiece into place.
“Agent Bennett,” he whispered to himself, testing the new persona. He turned sharply, pretending to clear a room, his movements sharp and precise.
Elliot’s exhilaration outweighed his caution. He scanned the shelves for one last transformation, his eyes landing on a mask labeled "Malik – Urban Legend."
The mask was striking, with smooth dark skin, a neatly shaped beard, and bold features that radiated charisma. The accompanying outfit hung nearby: an oversized hoodie, baggy jeans, and a pair of pristine white sneakers. A thick gold chain rested on the mannequin's chest, completing the ensemble.
Elliot hesitated for a moment. The set was unlike anything he’d tried before, and he felt a twinge of uncertainty. But the thrill was irresistible.
Stripping down, he reached for the hoodie first. It was heavy and warm, the fabric thick enough to feel substantial. He tugged it over his head, the hood settling comfortably around his neck. The jeans were loose, pooling slightly around the tops of the sneakers when he slipped them on. The chain was the final touch, cool against his chest.
Now for the mask.
Elliot picked it up carefully, noting the incredible detail: the texture of the skin, the subtle highlights on the nose and cheekbones, the natural sheen of the beard. Sliding it over his face, he adjusted it until it fit seamlessly. The brown contact lenses were a perfect match for the mask’s warm, expressive eyes.
When he turned to the mirror, the transformation was complete.
Elliot barely recognized himself. Malik’s broad shoulders and confident stance felt worlds apart from his usual frame. The oversized clothes emphasized a casual, effortless style that made him look like he belonged on a street corner or a music video set. He smirked, leaning into the persona.
“What’s up?” he muttered, deepening his voice. He laughed, shaking his head at how different he sounded.
He struck a pose, pulling the hood up over his head, and turned sideways in the mirror. The way the sneakers gleamed under the fluorescent lights added to the image, making him feel like someone who turned heads wherever he went.
Elliot was so absorbed in Malik’s reflection that he didn’t hear the faint click of the studio door unlocking.
-----
“Elliot. What are you doing?”
The voice froze him in place. He spun around, heart pounding, to see Mr. Calloway, his supervisor, standing in the doorway with one eyebrow raised. Calloway’s sharp suit and polished shoes looked completely out of place in the dimly lit studio, but his expression was impossible to misread: curiosity, amusement, and just a hint of annoyance.
“Uh… I… I was just, uh… testing the fit,” Elliot stammered. The deep voice of Malik spilled out of his mouth, making his excuse sound even more absurd.
Calloway took a step forward, folding his arms as he looked Elliot up and down. “Testing the fit, huh?” His lips twitched into a small smirk. “Well, you do look good, I’ll give you that.”
Elliot’s cheeks burned under the mask. He started to peel it off, fumbling with the edges.
“Stop.”
The command made him freeze. Calloway tilted his head, his gaze thoughtful.
“Put the hood back up,” he said.
Elliot hesitated, then obeyed, pulling the hood over his head again. Calloway paced slowly around him, inspecting the outfit from every angle.
“Hm,” Calloway said finally. “I always wondered how these looked in action. You wear it well.”
Elliot shifted awkwardly. “I-I didn’t mean to—”
Calloway waved a hand, cutting him off. “Relax. I’m not mad. But since you’re already having fun…” He gestured to the rows of masks. “Pick one out for me.”
Elliot blinked, unsure if he’d heard correctly. “What?”
“You heard me,” Calloway said, a glint of mischief in his eye. “If you’re going to play dress-up, let’s see what you can do with me.”
“You want me to… pick one?” Elliot asked, dumbfounded.
Calloway shrugged. “I’ve always been curious about these things. Might as well indulge.”
Elliot hesitated, but Calloway’s expectant look made it clear he wasn’t joking. Elliot scanned the shelves, searching for something drastically different from Calloway’s usual polished, buttoned-up look. His eyes landed on a set labeled "Jax – The Punk Rebel."
The mask had a youthful, edgy vibe: messy black hair with streaks of electric blue, a pierced eyebrow, and sharp cheekbones. The outfit was equally bold: a black leather jacket covered in studs, a ripped band T-shirt, tight black jeans, and heavy combat boots. A chain dangled from the pants, and fingerless gloves completed the look.
Elliot hesitated for a moment before pulling it down. He held it up with a small smirk. “How about this one?”
Calloway raised an eyebrow, his expression skeptical. “You want me to dress like that?”
“Well,” Elliot said, a little braver now, “you did say you wanted to try something different.”
Calloway sighed but took the set. “Fine. Let’s see what you’ve got.”
Elliot stepped back as Calloway began changing. Watching his boss trade in his tailored suit for tight jeans and a leather jacket was surreal. The combat boots added a heavy stomp to his normally quiet, calculated steps.
Finally, Calloway picked up the mask. The punk's wild hair and defiant smirk were a far cry from his usual clean-cut look. He adjusted it carefully, making sure the edges fit perfectly before popping in the bright blue contact lenses.
When Calloway turned to the mirror, Elliot couldn’t hold back a laugh.
“Well?” Calloway asked, his voice a deep rasp that suited the rebellious persona. He adjusted the leather jacket, striking a mockingly defiant pose. “How do I look?”
“Like someone who’d get kicked out of their own office,” Elliot joked, still grinning.
Calloway chuckled, shaking his head. “You’ve got a strange sense of humor, Bennett.” He stepped closer to the mirror, inspecting the transformation. “I have to admit, this is… fun. A little ridiculous, but fun.”
Before Elliot could answer, the studio door creaked open again. Both he and Calloway froze, the playful mood evaporating instantly. They turned toward the sound, expecting to see a coworker or perhaps security. Instead, a man in a black uniform with the company logo stepped inside, clipboard in hand.
It was Frank, the head of inventory.
Frank looked up and froze in his tracks, his eyes widening as he took in the scene: Elliot still wearing Malik’s oversized hoodie and baggy jeans, and Calloway transformed into Jax, the punk rebel.
“What the hell is going on here?” Frank demanded, his voice sharp.
Elliot’s stomach sank. Calloway, however, didn’t miss a beat. He stepped forward, his combat boots thudding heavily on the floor, and gave Frank a mischievous smirk.
“Relax, Frank,” Calloway said, his raspy, rebellious voice a perfect match for the punk persona. “We’re just… testing the merchandise.”
“Testing?” Frank repeated, incredulous. His eyes darted between the two of them. “Do you know how much trouble you could get into for messing with inventory like this? These are high-value items!”
Calloway waved a dismissive hand, clearly enjoying the role he was playing. “Come on, Frank. Don’t act like you’ve never been curious.”
Frank sputtered, clearly caught off guard by Calloway’s brazen attitude. Elliot, meanwhile, stood frozen, unsure whether to defend himself or stay silent.
Then, to Elliot’s shock, Calloway grinned and gestured toward the shelves. “Why don’t you join us? Pick one out. It’s not every day you get to see yourself as someone else.”
Frank blinked, his indignation faltering. “What?”
“You heard me,” Calloway said, leaning casually against the wall. “You’re always talking about inventory this, inventory that. Why not take a closer look? I mean, really experience it.”
Elliot stared at Calloway, his heart racing. Was he seriously inviting Frank to join them?
Frank hesitated, his grip on the clipboard tightening. Then his gaze shifted to the rows of masks, curiosity flickering in his eyes despite himself. “You’re insane,” he muttered.
“Maybe,” Calloway said with a shrug. “But you’ve got to admit—it’s tempting.”
Frank sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “This is a terrible idea.”
“And yet, you’re considering it,” Calloway pointed out, his smirk widening.
After a long pause, Frank set his clipboard down and stepped toward the shelves. Elliot exchanged a wide-eyed look with Calloway, who winked.
“What’s the craziest one here?” Frank muttered under his breath, scanning the options.
Elliot’s anxiety began to shift into a strange excitement as he realized the night had taken a completely unexpected turn.
Frank scanned the shelves, muttering to himself as his eyes darted over the masks. He stopped in front of a set labeled "Boone – The Outland Ranger."
The mask was rugged and wild-looking: sun-kissed skin, a thick unkempt beard, and sharp, weathered features. The outfit hanging nearby was equally striking: a sleeveless leather vest adorned with various patches, a pair of tan cargo pants tucked into scuffed combat boots, and a wide-brimmed hat with a feather stuck into the band. A leather holster with a prop revolver hung at the side, completing the ensemble.
“This one’s ridiculous,” Frank muttered, pulling it off the rack. He turned to Calloway and Elliot, holding it up for them to see. “What do you think?”
Calloway smirked, crossing his arms. “Perfect. Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes to be a ranger.”
Elliot bit back a grin as Frank sighed, clearly regretting every decision that had brought him here, and began stripping out of his uniform. He folded his shirt neatly, shooting a glare at Calloway when he caught the boss smirking.
The transformation began with the cargo pants, which fit loosely but comfortably. The leather vest was snug, its patches adding a gritty, rebellious touch. Frank hesitated at the holster but eventually strapped it on, adjusting it with a scowl.
Finally, he picked up the mask. It was heavier than he expected, the craftsmanship so detailed it seemed almost alive. He slipped it over his head, adjusting it until the edges vanished seamlessly into his neck. The transformation was instant: the tired, middle-aged inventory manager disappeared, replaced by Boone’s rugged, outdoorsy persona.
Elliot handed him the hazel contact lenses, which Frank inserted with surprising ease. Then he placed the wide-brimmed hat on his head, completing the look.
When Frank turned to the mirror, he froze.
“What the…” His voice was rough and deep, entirely unlike his usual tone. He leaned closer to his reflection, running a gloved hand over the mask’s beard. “This is insane.”
Calloway chuckled. “Told you. Looks good on you, though.”
Frank adjusted the holster, his expression a mix of disbelief and intrigue. “I look like I just stepped out of a western.” He struck a mock pose, drawing the prop revolver from its holster. “Bang, bang,” he muttered, smirking despite himself.
Elliot couldn’t hold back a laugh. “You’re a natural.”
Frank turned to face them, crossing his arms. “Okay, fine. I’ll admit it—this is… kind of cool. But if anyone finds out about this, we’re all getting fired.”
“Only if you don’t look the part,” Calloway teased, adjusting his leather jacket. “Now come on. Let’s see how these characters look together.”
Frank groaned but followed as Calloway led him and Elliot to a larger mirror on the other side of the room. The three of them stood side by side: Calloway as Jax, the rebellious punk; Frank as Boone, the rugged ranger; and Elliot as Malik, the urban legend.
For a moment, the absurdity of the situation faded, replaced by a strange sense of camaraderie.
“You know,” Calloway said, grinning, “we could pull off one hell of a heist looking like this.”
The three stood in front of the mirror, their reflections almost unrecognizable. The transformation wasn’t just physical—it was as though stepping into these personas unlocked something freer in each of them.
Calloway adjusted the chains on his jacket, his smirk now almost cocky. “You know, I’ve been running this place for years, and I’ve never actually tried these on. I gotta admit, they’re pretty incredible.”
Frank snorted, tugging at the brim of his hat. “Yeah, well, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that you’re dressed like a punk rock delinquent.” He gestured toward Calloway’s combat boots. “Those are a far cry from your usual loafers.”
“Hey,” Calloway shot back, “at least I look good. You look like you just walked out of a survivalist convention.”
Elliot chuckled, finally feeling relaxed enough to join the banter. “And I look like I should be running a streetball tournament.” He spread his arms, taking in his oversized hoodie and sneakers. “Guess we’ve all got our alter egos now.”
Frank shook his head, but a small smile crept onto his face. “This is ridiculous.”
“Ridiculous?” Calloway said, raising an eyebrow. “Frank, look at us. We’re living the dream. For years, people have been buying these masks to become someone else, even just for a moment. And here we are, actually getting to experience it ourselves.”
Frank sighed, leaning against the counter. “You’ve got a point. It’s… kind of fun.” He glanced down at the prop revolver, spinning it idly before sliding it back into the holster. “Not gonna lie, I do feel pretty badass.”
“Exactly!” Calloway said, clapping him on the back. He turned to Elliot. “What about you, Bennett? Feeling like a whole new person?”
Elliot hesitated, then nodded. “Yeah, I guess I do. It’s weird… but in a good way.”
The three of them fell into a comfortable silence, staring at their reflections. For a moment, they weren’t coworkers—they were characters, living in a shared fantasy.
Finally, Calloway broke the silence. “You know, we should make this a team-building exercise. Let everyone try on a mask, get a feel for the product.”
Frank groaned. “Please don’t. I don’t think I can handle seeing Jerry from accounting dressed like a Viking.”
Elliot laughed, picturing it. “Or Martha from HR as a biker chick.”
Calloway chuckled, shaking his head. “Fine, fine. But we’ll keep this between us for now. Agreed?”
“Agreed,” Frank and Elliot said in unison.
“Good,” Calloway said, straightening his jacket. He turned to the mirror one last time, his expression softening. “Well, gentlemen, if nothing else, this has been a night to remember.”
Frank smirked. “Just as long as no one remembers it tomorrow.”
Elliot grinned, feeling a strange warmth in his chest. For the first time in a long while, work didn’t feel like work—it felt like an adventure.
Calloway leaned back against the counter, looking at Frank and Elliot with a mischievous glint in his eye. “All right, gentlemen,” he said, cracking his knuckles. “We’ve tried on our alter egos. Now let’s take it up a notch.”
Frank raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by ‘take it up a notch’?”
Calloway smirked. “We switch. Each of us gets to experience someone else’s transformation. It’s only fair.”
Elliot blinked, his pulse quickening. “You mean… you want us to trade outfits and masks?”
“Exactly,” Calloway said, pushing off the counter. “Come on, don’t tell me you’re afraid of a little sweat.”
Frank groaned, rubbing his temples. “This is getting out of hand.”
“And yet,” Calloway said, pointing at him, “you’re not saying no.”
Frank hesitated, then sighed. “Fine. Let’s do it.”
Elliot swallowed hard, feeling both nervous and intrigued. He glanced at Calloway’s punk-inspired outfit, then at Frank’s rugged ranger look. Both felt so far removed from his own urban style that the thought of stepping into either was dizzying.
Calloway clapped his hands. “All right, here’s how this works. We’ll go one at a time. Frank, you’ll start by switching with me. Elliot, you’re next. Sound good?”
Frank shrugged. “Might as well get it over with.”
Frank unbuckled the holster from his waist, the leather strap creaking as he handed it to Calloway. “Here. Start with this.”
Calloway took it, slipping it on with ease before removing his own leather jacket. The studs glinted under the studio lights as he passed it to Frank. “And this is yours.”
Frank slipped the jacket on, the heavy material fitting snugly over his broad shoulders. The band T-shirt came next, and he grimaced as he pulled it over his head. “This thing’s damp,” he muttered, feeling the residual heat from Calloway’s body.
Calloway laughed as he tugged on the ranger vest. “That’s the price of admission.”
The pants were next, and Elliot couldn’t look away as the two men swapped. Frank struggled to wiggle into the tight black jeans, muttering under his breath about how restrictive they were. Meanwhile, Calloway adjusted the cargo pants, clearly amused by how loose they felt compared to his usual attire.
Finally, they exchanged masks. Frank hesitated as he peeled off the Boone mask, revealing his flushed face beneath. The inside of the mask glistened with sweat, and he handed it to Calloway with a grimace. “This is disgusting.”
Calloway took it without hesitation, slipping it over his head. He adjusted it, the bearded face settling into place seamlessly. “There we go,” he said, his voice now rough and deep like Boone’s.
Frank picked up the Jax mask, grimacing at the sticky interior. “I swear, if I get a rash from this…” He trailed off as he slid it on, the punk’s sharp features replacing his own.
When they turned to face the mirror, Elliot couldn’t help but laugh. Calloway, now dressed as the rugged ranger, looked completely at ease, while Frank’s transformation into the rebellious punk was hilariously out of character.
“How do I look?” Frank asked, his new voice rasping like sandpaper.
“Like you’re about to start a bar fight,” Calloway said, grinning.
Calloway turned to Elliot. “Your turn, Bennett. Let’s see you handle Boone’s look.”
Elliot’s heart raced as he began peeling off Malik’s hoodie. The fabric clung to his skin, damp with sweat, and he handed it to Calloway, who took it without complaint.
“Man, this thing’s heavy,” Calloway said, slipping it on.
Elliot kicked off the sneakers and struggled out of the baggy jeans, feeling oddly self-conscious as he handed them over. Calloway, now fully dressed as Malik, adjusted the oversized clothes with ease.
Meanwhile, Elliot reached for Boone’s outfit. The vest was stiff and warm, the leather almost alive with the residual heat from Calloway’s body. The cargo pants felt rough against his skin, and the holster added an unfamiliar weight to his side.
Finally, it was time for the mask. Elliot hesitated as he picked up Boone’s rugged face, the beard still damp from Calloway’s earlier transformation. He slid it over his head, shivering as the sweaty interior clung to his skin.
When he turned to the mirror, he barely recognized himself. The rugged ranger stared back at him, and for a moment, he felt a strange sense of power.
Frank, now fully dressed as Jax, smirked at him. “Not bad, Bennett. Not bad at all.”
The three of them stood side by side, now fully inhabiting each other’s original roles. Calloway, as Malik, looked imposing and confident. Elliot as Boone, had a rugged ease about him. And Frank, as Jax, felt like a completely different person.
“This,” Calloway said, his deep Malik voice booming, “is what I call teamwork.”

2600’s amazing Hackers on Planet Earth con may go down under enshittification
Tumblr media
Catch me in Miami! I'll be at Books and Books in Coral Gables on Jan 22 at 8PM.
Tumblr media
It's been 40 years since Emmanuel Goldstein launched the seminal, essential, world-changing 2600: The Hacker Quarterly. 2600 wasn't the first phreak/hacker zine, but it was the most important, spawning a global subculture dedicated to the noble pursuit of technological self-determination:
https://www.2600.com/
2600 has published hundreds of issues in which digital spelunkers report eagerly on the things they've discovered by peering intently at the things no one was supposed to even glance at (I'm proud to be one of those writers!). They've fought legal battles, including one that almost went to the Supreme Court:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeCSS
They created a global network of meetups where some of technology's most durable friendships and important collaborations were born. These continue to this day:
https://www.2600.com/meetings
And they've hosted a weekly radio show on NYC's WBAI, Off the Hook:
https://wbai.org/program.php?program=76
When WBAI management lost their minds and locked the station's most beloved hosts out of the studio, Off the Hook (naturally) led the rebellion, taking back the station for its audience, rescuing it from a managerial coup:
https://twitter.com/2600/status/1181423565389942786
But best of all, 2600 gave us HOPE – both in the metaphorical sense of "hope for a better technological tomorrow" and in the literal sense, with its biannual Hackers On Planet Earth con:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_on_Planet_Earth
For decades HOPE had an incredible venue, the Hotel Pennsylvania (memorialized in the phreak anthem "PEnnsylvania 6-5000"), a crumbling pile in midtown Manhattan that was biannually transformed into a rollicking, multi-day festival of forbidden technology, improbable feats, and incredible presentations. I was privileged to keynote HOPE in 2016:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1D7APjmVbk
But after the 2018 HOPE, the Hotel Pennsylvania was demolished to make way for the Penn15 (no, really) skyscraper, a vaporware mega-tower planned as a holding pen for luxury shopping and empty million-dollar condos sold to offshore war-criminals as safe-deposit boxes in the sky. The developer, Vornado (no, really) hasn't actually done all that – after demo'ing the Hotel Pennsylvania, they noped out, leave a large, unusable scar across midtown.
But HOPE wasn't lost. In 2022, the ever-resilient 2600 crew relocated to Queens, hosted by St John's University – a venue that was less glamorous that the Hotel Pennsylvania, but the event was still fantastic. Attendance fell from 2,000 to 1,000, but that was something they could work with, and reviews from attendees were stellar.
Good thing, too. 2600 is, first and foremost, a magazine publisher, and these have been hard years for magazines. First there was the mass die-off of indie bookstores and newsracks (I used to sell 2600 when I was a bookseller, and in the years after, I always took the presence of 2600 on a store's newsrack as an unimpeachable mark of quality).
Thankfully for 2600, their audience is (unsurprisingly) a tech-savvy one, so they were able to substitute digital subscriptions for physical ones:
https://www.2600.com/Magazine/DigitalEditions
Of course, many of those subscriptions came through Amazon's Kindle, because nerds were early Amazon adopters, and because the Kindle magazine publishing platform offered DRM-free distribution to subscribers along with a fair payout to publishers.
But then Amazon enshittified its magazine system. Having locked publishers to its platform, it rugged them and killed the monthly subscription fees that allowed publishers to plan for a steady output. Publishers were given a choice: leave Amazon (and all the readers locked inside its walled garden) or put your magazine into the Kindle Unlimited system:
https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/arp/B0BWPTCP4K?deviceType=A1FG5NAKX0MRJL
Kindle Unlimited is an all-you-can-eat program for Kindle, which pays publishers and writers based on a system that is both opaque and easily gamed, with the lion's share of the money going to "publishers" who focus on figuring out how to cheat the algorithm. Revenues for 2600 – and all the other magazines that Amazon had sucked in and sucked dry – fell off a cliff.
Which brings me to the present moment. After 40 years, 2600 is still at it, having survived the bookstorepocalypse, the lunacy of public radio management, the literal demolition of their physical home by an evil real-estate developer, and Amazon's crooked accounting.
This is 2600, circa 2024, and 2024 a HOPE year:
https://www.hope.net/
Once again, HOPE has been scheduled for its new digs in Queens, July 12-14. Last week, HOPE sent out an email blast to their subscribers telling them the news. They expected to sell 500 tickets in the first 24 hours. They didn't even come close:
https://www.2600.com/content/hope-ticket-sales-update
It turns out that Google and the other major mail providers don't like emails with the word "hacker" in them. The cartel that decides which email gets delivered, and which messages go to spam, or get blocked altogether, mass-blocked the HOPE 2024 announcement. Email may be the last federated, open platform we have, but mass concentration has created a system where it's nearly impossible to get your email delivered unless you're willing to play by Gmail's rules:
https://pluralistic.net/2021/10/10/dead-letters/
For Emmanuel Goldstein, founder of 2600 and tireless toiler for this community, the deafening silence following from that initial email volley was terrifying: "like some kind of a "Twilight Zone" episode where everyone has disappeared."
The enshittification that keeps 2600's emails from being delivered to the people who asked to receive them is even worse on social media. Social media companies routinely defraud their users by letting them subscribe to feeds, then turning around to the people and organizations that run those feeds and saying, "You've got x thousand subscribers on this platform, but we won't put your posts in their feeds unless you pay us to 'boost' your content":
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/platforms-decay-lets-put-users-first
Enshittification has been coming at 2600 for decades. Like other forms of oddball media dedicated to challenging corporate power and government oppression, 2600 has always been a ten-years-ahead preview of the way the noose was gonna tighten on all of us. And now, they're on the ropes. HOPE can't sell tickets unless people know about HOPE, and neither email providers nor social media platforms have any interest in making that happen.
A handful of giant corporations now get to decide what we read, who we hear from, and whether and how we can get together in person to make friends, forge community, rabble-rouse and change the world. The idea that "it's not censorship unless the government does it" has always been wrong (not all censorship violates the First Amendment, and censorship can be real without being unconstitutional):
https://pluralistic.net/2022/12/04/yes-its-censorship/
What can you do about it? Well, for one thing, you can sign up for HOPE. It's gonna be great. They've got sub-$100 hotel rooms! In New York City!
https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-xv
If you can't make it to HOPE, you can sign up for a virtual membership:
https://store.2600.com/products/tickets-to-hope-xv-virtual-attendee
You can submit a talk to HOPE:
https://www.hope.net/cfp.html
You can subscribe to 2600, in print or electronically (I signed up for the lifetime print subscription and it was a bargain – I devour every issue the day it arrives):
https://store.2600.com/collections/subscriptions-renewals
2600 is living a decade in the future of every other community you care about, weird hobby you enjoy, con you live for, and publication you read from cover to cover. If we can all pull together to save it, it'll be a beacon of hope (and HOPE).

Tumblr media
New York City was always known to be the place where one’s dreams were meant to fly as high as the skyscrapers that rose in its urban atmosphere. It was known to be the perfect capital city for all professions, including fashion.
Living in New York had always been the dream for you, and although you were now residing there for school, you weren’t exactly fulfilling your dreams just yet. So when you had called your parents one day to break the bad news to them, you knew that they weren’t going to be on board with your sudden change of plans.
“You’re switching majors? But why?” your dad asked through the phone. “I thought you wanted to study law.”
No, you didn’t. Your parents had been telling everyone they knew in your small town that you were going to major in law after high school and become the best lawyer to walk the streets of New York, and as a result, you couldn’t help but select that major just to please them.
“I don’t, Dad…If you had listened to me in the first place, you would know that I never wanted to do that,” you tell him.
“Well, that’s alright, law school isn’t for everyone now.” your dad told you before continuing. “What are you going to study instead? Medicine? Psychology? Business?”
You took a deep breath before continuing. “Fashion design…” you mutter back to him.
You can already imagine the outburst he was going to have. It was almost as if you could feel the anger bubbling within him through the phone.
“Fashion?! Are you seriously out of your mind?!” your dad exclaimed back at you. His reaction was so uncalled for that you had to take him off of speakerphone.
And after a long lecture from him later, he simply told you that he wasn’t going to pay for your tuition anymore before hanging up the phone.
Even though you were expecting that kind of reaction from your parents, your father more specifically, you still couldn’t help but feel so…discouraged. You’ve been wanting to be a fashion designer ever since you were little, and your parents’ lack of support did nothing but steal your happiness in fulfilling your dreams.
But at the same time…you felt determined to prove them wrong. You wanted to show them that you weren’t making this change just take the easy way out, you were doing it because you’ve been wanting to pursue this career your whole life. You wanted to show them that you were meant to be working in a fashion studio, not a courtroom.
Fast forward to now, and you’ve graduated from Parsons at the top of your class with a fashion degree, only to soon land a job working as a fashion designer at one of Giorgio Armani’s establishments right here in New York City.
Once the first day of your new job came around, you needed to give the best impression there, making sure to arrive before your boss did. After all, if it weren’t for Tess selecting you as one of the potential candidates as a fashion designer for that establishment, you’d probably still be job hunting by now.
You sat at your desk, eyeing the surroundings of the large studio you were in at this moment. All of the fabrics, mannequins, tools, and machines just waiting to be used. It still felt like a fever dream to you.
The sound of the opening doors of the warehouse startles you, causing you to and some of the designers in the studio to turn around, while the others are still chattering.
Tess walks into the studio and stands in the middle of the room before bringing everyone’s attention. “Alright everyone,” she shouts with a loud clap of her hands, causing the rest of the room to quiet down. “I have decided to put you all in charge of creating the looks for Armani’s upcoming winter fashion show. Each of you will be given a model to work on, and you are welcome to create whatever you’d like, as long as it meets the requirements for the show.”
“But, isn’t the winter fashion show only a month from now?” one of the designers asked.
“Yes, Yes it is, actually,” Tess replies with a nod. “So I expect to see the best work done by you all within the time being. I’d like to see how well my designers can work under pressure.”
You let out a sigh in frustration and held your face in your hands. How the hell were you going to have a look ready in just a month?
Tess checks the time on her watch before looking up at the clock for reassurance. “The models should be arriving any minute now, once they get here I’ll be assigning them out to everyone, and we’ll start today off by taking their measurements and sketching out designs. When you are finished, I—“ Her words are cut off by the sound of the warehouse doors opening again.
You look over again with the rest of the designers to see another staff member enter the room with a variety of models trailing behind her in a single file line. She then approaches Tess to talk to her for a brief moment before soon exiting the warehouse by herself. “Alright everyone,” Tess shouts out again, looking down at the clipboard that was in her hands. “When I call out your name to your assigned model, I would like you to stand up from your desk so they know who you are.”
As Tess begins to assign the models, the sound of a chair swiveling over to your left makes you turn your head, and you see that it was Dina scooching closer to you. “See anyone you might like?” she whispers over to you, her eyes still fixed on the line of models in the room.
“I honestly could care less about who Tess puts me with,” you whisper back to her, leaning back against your chair and crossing one of your legs over the other. “As long as they don’t give me a hard time, I should be good.”
Dina nods in response, she opens her mouth to respond but is cut off by the sound of Tess calling out your name. As a result, you rise from your seat and stand behind your desk.
“You’ll be working with Anderson as your model,” she tells you, and you watch as Tess looks over to your model and points at you, indicating her to walk over to where you were.
Intimidation strikes through you as she approaches your desk. You can’t really put your finger on it, but from the first impression, you’re quite convinced it's because of her broad figure that stood out from everyone else. You look over to Dina, to which she looks back at you and simply mouths a ‘good luck’ on your end.
Tess soon does a quick check around the room, making sure each designer has a model to work with. “Alright, now that everyone has an assigned model, you can all get started. Remember now, the winter show is a month from today, so I hope you can all make the best use of your time.” and with that, she exits the studio, leaving you and the rest of the designers to be.
Abby has her side resting against your desk, watching you draw out some looks on your sketchbook. “Just so you know…” she starts, leaning in closer to your right side. “I’m like, the biggest model here, so don’t be surprised when you run out of fabric for that pretty outfit you’ve planned out for me.”
You look over to Abby and roll your eyes before setting your pencil down and opening the side drawer of your desk. “Yeah, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind,” you tell her as you take out the soft tape measure from your drawer and stand up from your seat. “Come on, let me take your measurements now.”
Based on that first interaction alone, you knew that Abby was going to be a distraction for your project, and boy you were right.
This past month has felt like hell for you, and Abby’s cocky, conceited persona wasn’t making it any better for you.
Things were fine at first, at least enough for you to manage. But it wasn’t until the second fitting that she’s been starting to really get on your nerves.
The fitting room in the Armani establishment was spacious, each designer/model pair had their spot to do the fittings and make any adjustments if needed.
Abby walks over to your side of the fitting room fully dressed in her runway outfit. You had beautifully created a navy blue suit that complimented her freckled skin and blue eyes perfectly, and the entire outfit had Swarovski crystals sewn all over the place. It was a timeless and classic look for the show.
It’s a shame that your model has to be so arrogant for the time being.
You look over to her and snap your fingers. “Stand over there,” you tell her, pointing over to the small, round altar that was next to you. Abby simply obliges and stands up on the altar to face you, both of her hands crossed at her front.
You notice this and walk over to her, grabbing at her hands. “I need your hands at your sides, you’re a model, not a security guard.” you tell her sternly, separating her hands so each one is at her side. You then sit down on the stool behind you, bringing yourself down to face her lower half so you can check the fitting of her suit pants.
Starting at the bottom of her pants and making your way up, the pants seem to fit well on her so far. Given Abby’s large build, the fit is as snug as can be, but not too tight to where it would make her uncomfortable when walking. If you had made it any tighter, you’re convinced that the fabric might rip.
However, it wasn’t until you look at the waistline of the pants. For some reason, that area looked unusually tighter than it was compared to the last fitting. The zipper on her pants looked like it was going to burst. It’s almost as if she was hiding something underneath…
You tap the side of her thigh to get her attention, causing her to tilt her head down. ”What’s this?” you ask, pointing at the slight bulge that was sticking out of her pants.
She simply smirks back at you and shakes her head. “Wouldn’t you like to know…” she mumbles out, looking back up.
Your eyes were still fixed on her face, and you grabbed at her crotch, causing her to slightly jerk back. You knew damn well what it was that she had in those pants.
“Jesus,” she says, looking back down at you. “Chill out, will you?”
“Take it off,” you tell her sternly, standing back up from the stool. “I’m not going to have my look completely ruined as a result from one of your little games.”
You were close to having an outburst in the middle of the fitting room since you were starting to get some looks from some of the other designers and models in the room, including Dina. It was a good thing that Tess wasn’t there to see it though.
Abby simply rolls her eyes at you and clears her throat before stepping off of the altar and exiting the fitting room to go change. The two of you were being quite immature about this, but you were seriously in need of your look to be perfect for the show, and Abby was keeping you from doing so.
A couple more weeks pass by and before you know it, the day of the show is just right around the corner from now.
Your shift at the studio had just ended, and people were starting to gather their things to leave, while you still sat by your large mannequin, making adjustments and adding touches to your look.
Dina walks up behind you and taps your shoulder, causing you to pull out one of your headphones from your ear and turn around.
“Hey,” she says. “Some of us are going to head out to Dalton’s for drinks. Wanna come with?”
You shake your head in response. “I can’t, I really have to finish this look in time for the show, I have to make sure everything’s perfect.”
You hear her let out a sigh and nod. “Alright well, just don’t stress yourself out, okay?” she asks, gently squeezing your shoulder. “I’ll see you tomorrow, yeah?” she says, and you nod back at her as you watch her put her bag over her shoulder and exit the studio.
Once she leaves, you notice Tess at walking towards you at the corner of your eye. “Hey kid,” she says leaning against your desk with her arms crossed, keys jingling in one of her hands. “You plan on leaving soon?”
You let out a sigh and turned your head to face her. “Just let me stay a little longer, Tess…I promise I’ll be out of here soon.”
She sighs back and hesitates for a moment while rubbing the back of her neck. “Alright, I’ll give you an hour, but that’s it. I don’t want you spending the night here.” She then gets off your desk. “I’ll see you tomorrow, the doors will lock automatically once you leave.”
You nod in response and thank her before watching her walk away from the dim lighting that shined on your side of the studio. You were instantly relieved to be able to have some time for yourself to work on the suit.
However, that doesn’t last long when another set of footsteps enter the studio and begin to approach you from behind once again.
A large hand grabs at your shoulder, this time causing you to jump up and turn around in fear for a moment before realizing who it is. “Jesus, Anderson…you scared the hell out of me,” you say, trying to catch your breath. “What are you even doing here? Your final fitting isn’t until Friday.”
Abby lets out a chuckle at your frightened reaction and shakes her head. “I just came here to get my car keys,” she says, grabbing them off the shelf where she had left them. “I left them last time I was here.”
You rolled your eyes and stood back up to face your desk and away from her. “Well, now that you have your keys, can you go now? I need to keep working.”
As you were about to put your headphones back on, Abby began to speak once again. “What’s your deal?” she asks you.
You let out a huff and set your phone down before looking back at her. “My deal is that I’ve had to deal with your arrogance this past month and it’s been driving me insane. All I want right now is to have this time to myself so I can finish this suit in time for the show.”
The smirk that was growing on Abby’s face right now was so big you could practically see it from your peripheral vision. She then begins to walk around until she’s behind you on your desk. “It seems like you could loosen up a bit, you know…” she tells you as she slightly leans in closer to your ear, trapping you between your desk and her chest. You could already feel a familiar bulge poking at your lower back. It was that same bulge that you were just grabbing at in the fitting room not too long ago.
You roll your eyes at her in response. “Is that so?” you whisper back to her, just enough so she can hear you. “And what might that be, exactly?”
Her hands make their way down to your waist, grabbing you and turning you around so you are now face-to-face with her. “How about I show you, yeah?” she whispers to you, to which you nod desperately.
Despite how much you couldn’t stand her, you really couldn’t help but be into her at the same time, and not only has she also been aware of it, but she felt the same way with you too.
You feel her hands move from your waist down to the buttons of your pants, and you look down at your lap as a result. “Let’s see what we have here now…” she murmurs, slowly undoing your pants and sliding them off your legs and to the ground. Once your pants were fully removed, she helped give you a boost so you could sit up on your desk.
Abby instantly opens your legs the second your ass hits your desk, immediately eyeing the visible wet patch that was seeping through your black underwear. “Well well well, what do we have here…” she mutters out, hooking a finger underneath your underwear and shifting it to the side, causing your wet pussy to be exposed to her and the cold air of the studio. “This all for me?” she asks, looking back up at you.
All you can simply do is bite your lip and nod as you try to resist the cold air hitting against your pussy. “Fuck, yes, Abs…it’s all for you…” you whine out to her.
“That’s what I thought,” she mutters back. Two of her fingers make their way into your cunt without warning, causing you to jerk back and involuntarily close your thighs shut. However, her other hand makes her way into the middle just in time before you do so. “Nuh-uh, don’t get shy on me now, princess,” she says, forcing your legs back open to stand in the middle. “You’ve been so bold with me this past month, so you’re not backing out of this now.”
Her fingers successfully go into your pussy the second time around, causing a moan to escape from your mouth as a result. Abby’s fingers were huge, to say the least, but they managed to stretch your pussy out so well. There’s no way that your pussy can’t take anything bigger than this.
But what Abby was about to pull out next was going to prove you wrong.
As Abby’s fingers continue to pump inside you, she begins to undo her jeans with her free hand, effortlessly getting them open and slightly pushing them down to her thighs. She then digs that same hand into her boxers and pulls out her black strap-on, causing your eyes to widen at the immense size. She was fucking huge.
“A-Abby…” you stammer out to her, quickly shaking your head. “That—That’s not gonna fit…It’s too—“
“Yes it will,” she says, cutting off your words. “My cock’s gonna fit. You’ll see.”
Her fingers quickly slide out of your cunt, leading you to whimper at the loss. With both of her hands now, she rubs her cock against your folds, collecting some of your wetness before sliding it into your tight hole. The stretch of the strap was a bit uncomfortable at first, but after a moment, you were shocked to see how well your pussy was easily taking it from the tip down to the base. It really was the perfect fit.
Abby smirks as she looks down at the piece of silicone that connected your bodies. “See? I told you it’ll fit,” she mutters out, bottoming out completely inside you. “This fucking pussy was made to take my cock.”
You were already starting to feel dizzy over Abby’s cock nestling inside your pussy. You were desperate for some movement.
“A-Abby…” you whine out to her, squeezing her bicep. “N-Need you t-to move…”
“What’s that, princess? You want me to move my cock?” she asks, to which you nod in response. “Need me to thrust my big cock in that desperate little pussy of yours? Don’t worry, baby, I’ll do just that for you.”
And with that, she begins to slowly thrust inside you. You could practically feel it all within her movements, the girth, the veins, hell, even the tip would kiss at your cervix every time she bottomed out into you.
Abby grabs at both of your thighs, slowly starting to speed up her pace. “I think I can go a little faster now, don’t you think? Your pretty pussy’s already doing so well for me, angel…”
“Fuck, y-yes, Abby…f-faster…” you slur out as you throw your head back in pleasure, gripping both of your hands onto your desk while she continues to thrust inside of you.
One of her hands leaves your thigh and grabs at your jaw, tilting it down to face her. “Look at that now, my girl’s getting so cockdrunk for me…I bet it feels good, doesn’t it?”
Abby’s gaze soon brings down to your chest, smirking once she notices your hard nipples poking through your shirt. She then lets go of your jaw and pulls your shirt up to your tits, watching in awe at the mere sight of them. “No bra?” she asks, raising an eyebrow. “I didn’t take you to be such a slut like that…It’s almost as if you were waiting for this to happen.”
At this point, your brain was losing focus, and you couldn’t figure out what Abby was saying to you right now. Once she sped up her pace again, all you could think about now was getting to your release.
Abby now has her gaze focused on the sight of your pussy, watching as it squeezes and contracts around the strap with every thrust. “Looks like you’re getting close, princess. Are you gonna come for me? Gonna be a good girl and cum on my cock?”
“Y-yes, f-fuck! I-I’m getting close…” you whine back to her, leading her to thrust even faster inside of you, your moans soon getting loud enough for them to practically echo inside the whole studio.
It didn’t take long for you to reach your peak. Your cunt pulsed a few more times around Abby’s strap before cumming completely with a loud moan of her name, causing a white ring to form around it.
As you began to catch your breath, Abby slowly pulled herself out of you, groaning as she saw a thick white string of your cum connecting between your pussy and the tip of her strap before soon breaking. She then ran her fingers through her length, collecting all of your release before soon sticking them inside of your mouth while it was still agape.
After sucking her fingers clean, she pulls them out of your mouth and tucks her strap back into her boxers before putting her jeans back on. You watch as she briefly gets down onto her knees and brings her face into your fucked out pussy, gently licking and sucking it clean, savoring each bit of it as she did so.
Once you were all clean, Abby rose back to her feet, helping you with your underwear and with the rest of your clothes as well. Her hands then moved from the button of your pants back down to your hips, guiding you off of your desk and back on your feet. You stumble a little bit into her at the sudden movement.
“Hey, you okay?” she asks softly, catching you in her arms.
“Y-yeah, yeah I’m okay…just a little worn out.” you pant out to her as you gain back your composure to turn around towards your desk and gather up your things to leave.
“Well, at least let me give you a ride back to your place,” she insists, grabbing her keys off your desk. “It’s already late outside, and I don’t think it’s quite safe for you to be walking around out there at this time.”
You hesitate for a moment at first. You’d honestly hate to inconvenience Abby to give you a ride home, but given that she was the one offering, you didn’t seem to mind too much about it. In all fairness, it was already late hours in the city, and given the damage she’d done to your legs, there was no way you were going to last walking for five minutes down the street. So you end up accepting her offer.
“Yeah, sure…I’m not stopping you, honestly…” you tell her with a chuckle as you put your bag over your shoulder, ready to head out.
You then follow along beside Abby as the two of you exit the establishment and make your way to wherever her car is situated. Abby opens the passenger door to let you in first before letting herself in on the other side. She then starts up her car before merging into the city’s busy roads.
The ten-minute drive flew by surprisingly fast, and before you knew it, she was now parked in front of your apartment complex. She leans in to give you a quick kiss before soon pulling away. “So, I’ll see you on Friday, then?” she asks.
You can’t help but smirk back at her, even though you were biting your lip to hide it. “I’ll see you on Friday, Anderson.” you tell her with a nod before opening the door to let yourself out.
But Abby doesn’t leave just yet. Instead, she makes sure that you get into your apartment safe and sound. Once your lights were on, that was her cue to go.
You watch from your apartment window as she drives back into the busy roads, soon disappearing from your view.
And for the first time this month, you have to admit that you’re now actually looking forward to seeing her again.
