price x f!reader | 1.5k words series directory tags: stalking mention, white lies, jp fears no 'friend zone', entitled cats a/n: john price vs. his feelings. john price vs. old man allegations. john price vs. his barista . â
johnâs grip tightens on the wheel as he turns onto her street. heâs imagined this moment since he set her in his sight. possessing the patience of a sniper comes in handy with endeavors such as this, and itâs good to pull a trigger that isnât lethal for once.
sheâs waiting outside. good girl.
nose-deep in her phone, she doesnât notice him until heâs a building away. his heart jumps into his throat when her eyes lift, and her face follows. she squints, then shades her eyes with a hand. a smile breaks the mild confusion, and she rises to her feet from the steps outside her door.
he forces himself to relax, painfully aware of the intensity of his gaze. he canât risk running her off, but he has to see itâthe moment of realization.
~~
it cannot be the same car. calm down, you order yourself, plastering a small smile on your face as john rolls to a stop, grinning back through the window. itâs statistically impossible. there are thousands of cars in town, plenty of the same make and model. this is just the universeâs idea of a cruel joke: giving your favorite customer the same car you smashed your face and arm into. your good hand shakes as you open the door and sink into the passenger seat.
coincidences happen.
~~
âhey.â
âafternoon. you look nice.â
âyeah? i was worried you wouldnât recognize me without the apron.â she says wryly, draping her bags over her lap.
iâve memorized your face and more. which one would think would help decipher the minutiae of her expressions. does she recognize the car? remember it? she was drunk and crashed hard enough to break boneâfuck, he hadnât thought of the effects of the impact. too caught up.
he watches her buckle, eyes falling to her cast. itâs filling with signatures fast. the space that held his number is covered in a drawing of a cat. all that remains is âjohnâ.Â
âdid you draw over my number?â
âi didnât think youâd want the free advertising.â
smart girl. the number isnât traceable further than falsified records, but it's best to avoid nuisance. he lets the doodle eclipse his grand scheme and pretends to adjust the mirror. heâll wait until the time is right. âthat i donât.â
the drive to her preferred market is ten minutes by car. she mightâve managed alone, but heâs done some of his best work in ten minutes. performed miracles and misdeeds. he spends this bit on recon.
he susses out a little more information about her life: sheâs worked, on and off, as a barista for nearly a decade. she recently took in a kitten, the very one depicted on her arm, and named her chicken cutlet a tortoiseshell.
âit's all i had for food. now ceceâs a snob.â
âpoints for uniqueness.â he grins and gestures at the doodle on her arm. though he doesnât have much of an eye for art, itâs obviously stylized. âand creativity. bet you did her justice, like a regular artist.â
the comment, meant as a compliment, makes her wince. she ducks her head in poorly concealed shame, pretending to check something in her wallet. it comes out casually, like a weather reportâshe dropped out of an mfa program to move here, for the ex, a year ago.
the details resurrect his anger.Â
the tremble in her hand tells him to leave it. he will. for now.
the car park is packed, and itâs all he can do to not celebrate when he finds a space on the first go. he cannot be much older than her, but heâd rather avoid feeding the âold manâ reputation his sergeants encourage.
she separates her reusable bags as they climb out of the car. âdo you have any pets?â
he circles to her side and takes them without asking, âno. afraid my schedule doesnât allow for it.â
âoh.âÂ
he beats her to the baskets, tossing her bags into the bottom, and she strolls past him. he traipses behind, head on a subtle swivel, inwardly tickled at how normal it feels. itâs not often he shops, let alone in the company of a bird. it makes him puff up. go a bit softer in the face, especially when a woman roughly his motherâs age gives them a long, wistful look in produce.
itâs nice playing house, even in the middle of a bustling supermarket, dodging the less spatially aware and rogue children. it strokes his ego to flex an arm over her head to reach the shelves she canât and carry a bag of cat litter in the other. he cracks a joke about tinned fish, and though she doesnât laugh, he can tell she wants to. how she ignores his suggestions and color commentary on other shoppers. itâs fascinating to watch her, all business, as if she were behind the coffee bar. tapping items off the list on her phone, triple-checking a recipe.
while sheâs distracted, slowly loading the conveyor belt one item at a time, john pushes his luck. he slips his card and pays.
her focus breaks when she sidles up, reaching for her wallet, only for the cashier to offer the receipt. she takes it, confusion turning to understanding, and her jaw clenches. her thanks are muttered, and she promptly joins him in bagging whatâs left.
he knows sheâs upset before she speaks, practically punching items into the bag.
âplease donât do that again.â she whispers. âmy wrist is broken. i am not broke.â
angry as she is, she sails out the doors without waiting. clearly expecting him to tote her bags like a porter and follow.
which he does, of course. itâs what he signed on for.
good view, at least.
the ride back to her place is quiet, but he feels the tension burning away with the light. itâs damn distracting how the sun plays off her skin and hair. ten minutes fly by. she turns to him as the car idles, a storm of thoughts in her eyes. severe, tempestuous, and pretty.
âpark. youâre not off the clock.â
âyes, maâam.â
the bag handles loop into one fist, and the litter rests on his shoulder. he beams, and with the complete confidence he usually carries himself, he starts up the steps of her building.
âuhâŚjohn?âÂ
he glances over his shoulder and sees her fidgeting at the bottom of the stairs.
âthatâsâŚnot actually my address.â
his brows raise, fall, and pinch in rapid succession. the minx. a fake address. smart.
she sheepishly apologizes on the walk to one street over and explains.Â
âi mean, this partâs weird.âÂ
âwhat part?â
âbefriending regulars,â she shrugs. âthe counterâs there for a reasonâto sling espresso, yeah, but itâs also a social barrier.â
âdo you often befriend regulars?â he hopes not.
âgod, no.â
thank christ. heâll start memorizing faces on his next trip, just in case.
âbut being polite to people is part of my job.â
he cracks a careful grin. âdo you get reprimanded for that?â
her eyes roll. âha. ha. no. my managerâs a coward and afraid of me. what i mean is, itâs a tightrope. be nice, but donât be too nice to the wrong people, else theyâll stalk you or something.â
johnâs gut tightens. what was his plan again? expose her? he manages a chuckle. âand am i one of thoseâŚwrong people?â effortless.
âwell, youâre a minute from my kitchen with an invitation. so.â she smirks after a second. âare you fishing for a compliment? for me to say youâre special?â
heat shoots up his neck and colors his cheeks. âi am notââ
ârelax. iâm joking. but you are the first customer iâve brought back to my place.â
the phrasing instantly sets him on high alert. it could mean nothing. it could mean anything.
her place is markedly worse than her fake one. he does not like the look of the neighbors, but the exterior light reaches the walk. he bites his tongue when she veers to the side, cutting down a set of steep stairs to the basement. it wonât do, not long-term.
but the interior of her flatâitâs everything he did and did not expect.Â
itâs sensibly furnished and lit to compensate for its floor plan and limited windows. itâs cozy and colorful, with artwork fixed to the walls and littering various surfaces. some pieces are more notable than others: tiny statuettes of women, a diptych of a cow, and a collage of what looks like found notes. in the living area, there is a console and a headset, a small collection of games and dvds, and ten too many knickknacks. a stuffed backpack occupies a seat at the table.
he moves mechanically behind her, toeing off his shoes and treading straight into the surprisingly decently sized kitchen. he sets the bags and litter down, rolling his shoulder as he soaks it all in.
might be his only chance, after all.
something bumps his shin. two big amber-colored eyes stare up at him, unblinking.
âyou must be the famous cece.âÂ
âthe one and only.â
the young cat weaves through his legs, then jumps, immediately sticking her pointy head into the bag containing the chicken. she meows, indignant, when her human automatically hooks her around the middle without looking and returns her to the floor.
âbad.â she murmurs, unpacking. âwould you mind setting the litter next to the door down the hall?â Â
john obeys, though he lingers outside of said door, staring through a crack into the dark of her room. she has a big, comfortable-looking bed. a shudder passes over him. an unhelpful throb. christ. feels like a fucking teenager. he pulls himself together, retreating toward the door to leave. probably overstayed his welcome.
just as he turns to say his goodbyes, she glares from the kitchen. around her neck, untied, hangs an apronâdonât be afraid to take whisks.
âwhere are you going? iâm making dinner.â
itâs not an invitation. itâs an order.
he slips his shoe off.
âyes, maâam.â

Exclusive interview with Wang Yibo: Maintain a sincere heart丨"War of Faith" hits the airwaves
Since its launch on CCTV 8 in late March, the contemporary youth growth drama "War of Faith", directed by Yao Xiaofeng and written by Weng Liangping, starring Wang Yibo, Li Qin, Wang Yang and others, has been performing well in recent days. The show topped the CVB prime-time ratings the day after it aired. The real-time ratings of Kuyun peaked at 2, and the popularity on iQiyi exceeded 9,600. The ratings are both good. The male protagonist Wei Ruolai, played by young actor Wang Yibo, is also loved by the audience for his smart, intelligent and righteous character.
"He is very passionate, has a sense of justice, is persistent and brave in his work. Even when facing the dark social reality, Wei Ruolai still maintains a sincere heart and wants to change the social status quo through his own efforts." Wang Yibo accepted the Liberation Daily Exclusive interview with a reporter from Shangguan News, explaining what "Wei Ruolai" is in his eyes.
At the beginning of the TV series, there is an assassination, a rescue, and a stock market game. The plot advances on multiple parallel lines, but they contain inextricable connections. "War of Faith" is set in Shanghai in the 1930s. It adopts a novel narrative incision and starts from the perspective of the financial industry. It embeds the storyline on the real historical picture of Shanghai and depicts Shanghai from 1929 to 1934. A scene filled with smoke and silent struggle. This makes the social turmoil in a specific historical period and the intrigue on the financial front in the play cleverly form an intertextuality.
From the character setting point of view, Wei Ruolai is a character with obvious growth meaning. In the complicated political, economic and social environment of Shanghai at that time, Wei Ruolai, as a young man who bravely came to Shanghai from the Jiangxi countryside, rented in Qibao Street, a mixed and dilapidated place. His initial wish was just to be admitted to the Central Bank and have a good job. income. Wang Yibo revealed that what impressed him about the role of Wei Ruolai was his charisma. This ideal and belief in taking family and country as one's own responsibility, as well as the unique passionate feelings of young people, are the character traits that Wang Yibo admires.
As a young man from a poor family who left his hometown to work in Shanghai, Wei Ruolai showed great personal talent in the financial field. Whether he is helping his neighbor Aunt Zhou on Qibao Street to trade stocks, or being fearless in the face of fire during the central bank exam, the character's agility and human touch are all reflected. When Wei Ruolai got up early to rush to the central bank for an interview, her pair of torn socks, her leather shoes that "gathered dust" under the bed, and her slightly messy hairstyle in the mirror all gave the scenes in the play a sense of life.
In Wang Yibo's view, Wei Ruolai was just like the young people of that era. Although he initially regarded his career as a job that could earn more money to support his family, he had his own ideals and ambitions in his heart. This can be seen from his bent on joining the central bank. "In the context of the times, he was eager to create value through his own efforts on the best financial platform, improve people's livelihood, and make society better."
"War of Faith" adopts a two-line parallel narrative structure. One line is a financial war without gunpowder, and the other is a thrilling spy war drama. In the workplace where the central bank is the stage, the new senior adviser Shen Tunan (played by Wang Yang) plays the role of Wei Ruolai's master and becomes his guide on the career path. Shen Tunan is both good and evil, and he wants to promote Shanghai's financial reform, and he does not hesitate to take risks with his own life. Shen Tunan's sister Shen Jinzhen (played by Li Qin) and Wei Ruolai's brother Wei Ruochuan are both underground members of the Communist Party of China. In the dark current situation, they disregard their personal lives for the cause of the party. Therefore, these important characters surrounding Wei Ruolai constituted his dilemma in social situation, and also laid the foundation for Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan to part ways.
Wang Yibo feels that Shen Tunan plays an important role in Wei Ruolai's professional and personal growth. "Wei Ruolai, who had just entered the workplace and had no work experience, just rushed forward with momentum and persistence. Therefore, he admired Shen Tunan very much and once regarded him as the direction of his life's efforts. The two of them also learned from each other in the process of getting along."
But as Wei Ruolai received more and more attention, the corruption within the Kuomintang was exposed in front of him. Inspired by the people around him, Wei Ruolai and Shen Tunan eventually embarked on completely different paths of faith. "After experiencing a series of changes such as investigating the counterfeit currency case and treasury bills, he witnessed the darkness and corruption of the current situation, and realized that he needed to change the status quo of the country and fight for the people. Therefore, the sense of opposition between his master and his faith made him once I lost confidence in Shen Tunan, who was once a like-minded person, and eventually embarked on a different path of faith, but Shen Tunan has always been Wei Ruolai's guide"
Director Yao Xiaofeng once said in an interview that he chose Wang Yibo to play the role because he saw many similarities between the two. "I saw something in Wang Yibo. I felt that this story should be filmed as a small character who came to a big city to develop, and then accidentally got involved in a bloody storm and fell into a battle between two forces that were beyond his power. , let him hesitate, let him make a choice."
In one scene, his brother Wei Ruochuan was betrayed by his companions. After searching for Wei Ruolai in Shanghai, he eventually died due to excessive blood loss. In this scene, Wang Yibo performed Wei Ruolai's pain and fear. After his brother died, Wei Ruolai had no time to grieve and buried his brother in pain overnight. "In such a terrifying period, if you have a Communist brother, you have to be screened, and the first thing you will definitely bring is fear. I was very impressed by Wang Yibo in this scene, and the whole audience applauded (after filming)." Yao Xiaofeng said. In Wang Yibo's eyes, Yao Xiaofeng is a director who pays great attention to details. "He is more of a good guide to the actors in terms of performance. He will let me use my own real experiences and feelings to understand the character's current emotions, allowing the actors to perform the performance more closely to life."
In real life, Wang Yibo likes racing. When a reporter asked which scene in "War of Faith" was the most fun, his answer was a bit unexpected but reasonable. "The most fun thing was riding a motorcycle from that era." As for what themes or roles he wants to challenge in the future, his answer is also very open, "I want to try them all, and have a sense of freshness."
#AAAAHHHH YASSS THANK YOU FOR THE INTERVIEW!#wang yibo#wei ruolai#war of faith#accio victuuri translation

Rhian, drop your morning/night routine!
Rhian: In the morning, I don't "wake up" like most do. Instead, I simply get out of bed since I'm usually up all night attempting to fall asleep. Repose rarely overtakes me, and my mind's always reeling. I may have to commission a sleeping draught from a witch one day.
At this stage of the morning, Rafal is usually still out cold, and it doesn't matter how loud I am, so I listen to the morning Kingdom Council spellcast reports from a mirror I've ensorcelled at full volume and review the Putsi market trends as I start on my routine.
The Gillikin Gazette's updates about its ongoing cathedral construction are my favorites thoughâits flying buttresses rival Camelot's dated, heavier Romanesque designs. I only manage to catch those reports on Saturdays though since I have to be out of the tower and on my way at an early hour most days. Oh, and I tend to cast a spell, so my bed makes itself while I busy myself with more important tasks.
Firstly, I need my ermine slippers and silk dressing gown. I shower and usually start with a facial, rosewater, or whichever magical cure-all I'm currently using to remove my under-eye shadows with.
Though, Rafal's been a bother about the cucumbers I go through. He thinks I'll drain the Woods' supply and that he won't have any left for his sandwiches. Mind you, that isn't true in the least.
I use charcoal imported from Akgul to remove impurities of the skin, and that's been rather effective as of late. I also ice my pores, page through Maxine's progress reports, and keep tabs on the lackadaisical performers. Tracking's very important at a School like ours, you know.
On some occasions, I do my own makeup, but really, it seems to me that only the Evergirls care if they notice at all. These days, I've been fond of whipped beetroot tinctures and orchid cologne. Then, I arrange my hair, dress suitably for the day's activities in whichever clothes I pressed the night before, and polish my boots. I polish Rafal's too. He doesn't notice or careâthinks we're immune to disease and scrutinyâbut he's missing the point. It's about image, of course. And I worry that he'll bring bird mites from his Stymphs indoors, and that would not only be unseemly for a School Master, but a disaster of inordinate proportions, even if our health isn't at risk. Think of the parent complaints we'd receive, if we had an infestation. The picket-lines would never end!
When I head out, Rafal's almost always still asleep, so I bring us back breakfast, and wake him then.
Well, I say "wake him," but rousing him isn't as simple as I've likely led you to believe. By now, it's turned into an awfully elaborate burlesque. I switch mirror channels to the Jaunt Jolie Music Hall's Cricket and Brass orchestra production of the day. If that fails, I bang a ladle on our breakfast's silver cloche over him. And if all else fails, I shout "FIRE," "INVASION," or even "PIRATES" if I'm desperate and running late, and that does the trick. I still haven't figured out if he's been deluding me though, or if it's his dreams that leave him with those horrid little grins.
Yet, this particular song-and-dance of sorts has been more of a recent development. His clarion-belled alarm clock from Geppetto's broke last month, and he hasn't had the time to replace it. The flight's a day's trip, and this new class of Nevers cannot be left alone for more than a day because he's sure there'll be either an outbreak of some pox or of some general pandemonium since he doesn't think I'm capable of maintaining order. I'm more than capable in truth.
We eat then, he in his pajama shorts and shirt and black stockings with the runs I chastise him about throwing out everyday, and me in my typical smart attire.
At the end, I wash up, sit, and wait for him to set the dishes to scrubbing themselves, comb his hair, and dress. After that, we split off to our respective sides for the day, and I see him again at dusk.
"Bye." or "Morning, brother." is as talkative as he gets at this time of day before he vanishes into the Tunnel of Trees or crosses the Halfway Bridge into the smog, unless he has a storybook victory to congratulate himself over or another point to bolster his side of an argument withâarguments I naively believed we'd already put to bed the night before.
After a full day of overseeing classes, Rafal legs it over the window sill when he returns and showers immediately when he gets back. Then, he grades papers and exams. On days when he's exhausted by puppeteering mock battle raids or Storian knows what he subjects those poor children to, he passes out in bed fully-clothed without showering, and showers in the morning.
All the while, I perform my nightly skin- and hair care routines, snuff out the candles, and get in bed with an eye mask, in my attempt to get a good night's sleep, often sooner than he goes to bed because he reads news updates and whatever musty tome he's tearing through late into the night.
Sometimes, I wake in the middle of a night terror and realize he's still up marking or reading or scheming, so I confiscate the candles at that point and force him to sleep. Rarely does he listen, and I've stopped bothering most of the time as he reads by the light of his fingerglow instead, contrary to all sound advice. He doesn't view sleep as necessary seeing as the Storian sustains us, but he has no sleep troubles, so I suppose that's an easy conclusion to form if you're him. The latest remedy I've resorted to is tucking lavender into my pillowcase, but I've had not a drop of luck.

Risky Business
Pairing: Max Lord/Male OC Rating: Explicit. Seriously, over 18s only. Word count: 2252
Summary: Max finds himself in the men's room at the office when he spots something interesting⌠a glory hole
Warnings: Oral sex, public blow job, come eating, a little bit of internalized homophobia
Note: This has not been beta read so I apologize for any mistakes.
The meeting was dragging, and Max was on the verge of losing his temper. It was bad enough that it had started over an hour late due to a miscommunication with the marketing department, but now it was overrunning due to one overeager junior executive. The guy was clearly angling for a promotion, and on some level Max respected that, but boring your bosses was not a smart move. Hansen⌠Harmen⌠Herman⌠whatever his name was, had been speaking for forty-five minutes now about⌠somethingâŚ
Max had no idea, truthfully, heâd started tuning him out after only ten minutes. By this point, the young man had completely screwed himself. Any point heâd hoped to make could have been made a long time ago. Glancing around the table, all Max could see were glazed-over eyes and a couple of the older execs gently snoozing.Â
While this was a waste of time, the bigger issue troubling Max was that the longer this went on, the more uncomfortable he was becoming. He needed to pee. Heâd needed to pee for about an hour. He had his legs firmly crossed under the table and had stopped sipping on his water, but the problem wasnât going to go away.
â...there is a clear link between-â
âIâm going to need to interrupt you there.â Max cut him off, finally reaching his limit. âYou make some excellent points, but weâre running over here. Put everything in a report, and I promise you, Iâll look it over.â
âSir, I-â
âItâs getting late.â Max locked eyes with the young man, his tone turning a little firmer. âPut a report together and send it to me.â
âI⌠yes, Sir.â
The sigh of relief from the rest of the gathered men was audible, making the overeager young man blush. As everyone started to file out, Max remained seated, his legs still tightly crossed. To his dismay, Grant Davidson, one of the senior board members, was lingering. Probably hoping to speak with him.
âGrant.â Max stood carefully, his smile fixed as he approached the other man. âWhatever it is, can it wait?â He dropped his voice to a whisper. âI really need the bathroom.â
âOh.â Grant waved a hand and nodded. âOf course, of course. It can wait, Iâll meet you back at your office. Oh, and I hope youâre not too desperate. The executive bathroom on this floor is out of order.â
âWhat?â Max paused at the door. âYouâre kidding me! Damn it! Where is the closest one?â
Grant thought for a moment. âTwo floors down, I think, unless you want to slum it. There might be one on the east side of the building on this floor, but Iâve never been in it, so I canât speak to its condition.â
âThanks.â Max nodded as Grant sauntered away. Weighing up his options and his screaming bladder, Max sighed deeply. He was going to have to brave the unknown bathroom.
Leaving the conference room, Max headed towards the elevators and then took a right into the east side of the building. The east side of each floor was dedicated to the non-public-facing side of the business. Maintenance, mail room, interns. Each floor was different, and this one was a rabbit warren of small storage rooms and offices for the lowest-paid employees. Finally, as Max feared he would have to duck into a closet and piss in a corner, he spotted the menâs room.
Pushing the door open, it wasnât as bad as he feared. It wasnât anywhere as nice as the executive bathrooms he was used to, but it was clean and smelt fresh. A single urinal was next to the two stalls to the right of the door. On the opposite wall were two sinks with a large mirror hanging over them. Max stepped forward and then frowned as he noticed the âout of orderâ sign hung haphazardly on the urinal. Grumbling under his breath, he turned on his heel and headed into the stall furthest from the door. Yanking his fly open and freeing his cock, Max let out a long, loud sigh as the stream began.
Relief filled his body as Max continued to piss, taking the opportunity to glance around the cubical as he did. Bland gray tiles stretched from door to ceiling, with only the mirky green of the stall dividing wall and door to add a pop of color. Max looked around with a slight sneer on his face at the dismal condition of the bathroom before his eyes snapped back to the wall of the stall.Â
Was that a hole?
Shaking the final drops of pee from his cock, Max didnât bother to tuck himself away as he bent down to get a better look. It was definitely a hole. Perhaps four inches across, not quite perfectly circular, and it had obviously been cut by an amateur rather than be a part of the design of the stall. Max was puzzled for a couple of seconds before he realized what he was looking at.Â
A glory hole.
A menâs room in Black Goldâs headquarters had a glory hole. A small shiver ran down Maxâs spine at the thought of all the men who might have come in here since the hole was cut. How long had it been here? Right under his nose. Maxâs cock twitched as he flushed the toilet before lowering the lid and sitting down.Â
Idly stroking his hardening cock Max bit his lip as he wondered how many men used this hole on a daily basis. Was it well-known in the building? Was that why Grant had sent him here?Â
Reaching into his trousers, Max pulled his balls out, rolling them in his left hand as he lazily pumped his cock to full hardness. Spitting into his palm, Max was just settling in and was ready to jerk off when he heard the menâs room door open. Max froze, listening to the manâs shoes click on the tiled floor.
The man went into the stall next to Max, and for a few seconds, Max sat in silence with his cock in hand, wondering if his new neighbor had come just to pee or wanted something more. The seconds ticked by while Max ran his thumb over the tip of his cock, watching as a bead of precum formed before rubbing in gently over the slit.
Max wasnât sure how to get the other manâs attention. Heâd never even seen a glory hole before, let alone used one. Licking his lips, Max racked his brain, trying to think how to get the other manâs attention.Â
As if answering his thoughts, Maxâs eyes lit up as a semi-erect cock slid into view, as the man in the next stall thrust into the hole. With barely a second's hesitation, Max was on his knees, mouth open, wrapping his lips around the tip of the strangerâs dick. There was a barely audible gasp from the other stall, and Max smiled. This was everything heâd wanted. Heâd had fantasies about this for years, and now it was happening.
His own cock throbbed, but he ignored it. Instead, he brought one hand up to grip the base of the length in front of him as he began to work. He started by teasing his tongue around the head, gently poking at the slit with the tip of his tongue before flattening it out and sucking on the head.Â
Inch by inch, Max worked his way down the length of the shaft until he could feel it hit the back of his throat. He gagged slightly, just long enough to feel tears pricking his eyes, before pulling back and beginning again. His own arousal ached between his legs, but all Max could focus on was the cock in his mouth. The world blurred around him as he swallowed the throbbing length again and again.
Enveloping the cock once more, Max traced his tongue along the underside, drawing a hiss from the stranger. As his lips stretched around the girth, the sinful desire to be degraded filled his being. Rolling his hips in the air in time with his ministrations, Max hollowed his cheeks, bobbing his head along the full erection before him.Â
On the other side of the thin wall, gasps, grunts and the occasional whine filtered out of the other manâs mouth, filling the men's room. It wasnât long before his jaw was aching. As much as Max wanted this, he wasnât used to putting in this much work.
âIâll have to do this more often to build up the stamina.â He thought with a small grin.Â
Pulling back to focus on the tip, Max swirled his tongue around it before flicking at the slit just as before. The tang of precum was Maxâs reward, dribbling out of his open mouth and gliding down his swollen lips.Â
Ghosting his tongue over the leaking red head, Max worked the shaft into his mouth to the very back of his throat. Swallowing around the length, he shivered in pleasure as he pulled a loud, wanton moan from the other man. After swallowing for a second time, Max still himself, the desire to be used overtaking him. He needed his mouth fucking. He needed to be used as an object. He needed to choke on this cock. He needed this to complete the fantasy heâd had in his head for so long.Â
Understanding what Max wanted, or needed, the other man began fucking slowly into his mouth, testing the water to see if this was what Max truly wanted. When Max didnât move or pull away and instead opened his throat as much as he could, the other man started to pick up the pace. Soon, the unseen stranger was thrusting his full length into Maxâs waiting mouth with abandon. Maxâs face burned as his skin prickled with arousal while needy, wet, gagging noises were pushed out of his mouth with every thrust.
His own cock leaked onto the floor between his knees, throbbing in time with the cock gliding over his tongue. He could feel himself tumbling towards the edge and Max reached up both his hands to steady himself against the wall of the stall. His vision swam as the other man began panting loudly on the other side of the partition.Â
With a breathy cry, the man came, flooding Maxâs mouth with bitter, salty seed. Swallowing what he could, Max could feel some of the come escaping, dribbling out of his mouth and down his chin. Resisting the urge to wipe it away, a shiver ran through Maxâs body at the thought of looking at his come-stained lips in the mirror later. Digging his nails into the hard wood of the stall, Max moaned around the cock, still twitching on his tongue. Time seemed to slow as his nails scraped against the wall of the stall, his back arched and his body quivered as he released himself into the menâs room floor untouched.
The cock gently withdrew, and Max could hear the sound of a zipper companied by a long sigh. Still on his knees, Max didnât trust his legs enough yet to stand. Instead, leaning his head against the cool wood of the stall, Max tried to focus his eyes. Between his legs, his small cock was already softening, shrinking back down to its usual micro state. He could see the other manâs feet, with nice-looking, moderately expensive shoes, shifting around before leaving the stall.
Max heard the rush of water coming from the faucet, and while the other man busied himself at the sink, Max climbed to his feet. The full realization of what heâd just done was starting to dawn on him. What if someone found out? He was the CEO of Black Gold! He was meant to set an example. What would people say?
Pinching his eyes shut, Max sat down on the toilet and waited for the other man to leave. What had he been thinking? This wasnât like jacking off in the privacy of his office or the regular âmassageâ sessions heâd been having. Heâd blown one of his employees. Surely, there were laws about this kind of thing.Â
The sound of the menâs room door clicking shut snapped him out of his spiral. Max opened his eyes and let out a long, loud sigh. Time to get back to reality and possibly face the music for his moment of fantasy.
Tucking himself back into his trousers, Max grabbed some tissue to wipe up the mess heâd made. Bending down to clean up the come, Maxâs eyes were drawn to a small piece of cardboard on the floor just under the stall door. Finishing his task, Max picked it up, turning it over in his hand. His eyes widened, and a grin spread across his face as he realized what it was.
A business card. Looking it over, Max could see that there was no name, but there was a number.
Tucking it into his pocket, Max left the stall and went over to the sinks to clean up. Come had dried slightly on his chin, while his already plush lips were pink and swollen. Max smirked to himself at his disheveled state. Putting himself back to his usual well-groomed state, Max couldnât keep the grin off his face. Leaving the menâs room, he patted the card in his pocket as he made his way back to his office. The possibilities were intriguing.Â

Mutual Funds India
Understanding Mutual Funds in India
Investing is a great way to build wealth, and one of the popular choices is mutual funds. In India, mutual funds are a favorite for many investors. This article will explore mutual funds in India, how they work, and why you might consider adding them to your investment portfolio, especially with the offerings from Savings UK Ltd.
What Are Mutual Funds?
Mutual funds pool money from many investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, or other securities. Each investor buys units of the fund, which represent a portion of its holdings. Letâs break it down:Â when you invest in a mutual fund, you're not only buying shares in one company. Youâre buying pieces of a whole basket of investments, which helps spread out risk.
Why Invest in Mutual Funds?
- Diversification:Â By investing in a mutual fund, you gain exposure to a range of assets, which reduces the risk of losing money. - Professional Management:Â Mutua funds are managed by experts who make informed investment choices on your behalf. "Investing in mutual funds is like planting a tree. With attention and care, it grows over time."
Different Types of Mutual Funds
In India, there are various types of mutual funds to choose from: - Equity Mutual Funds:Â Primarily invest in stocks, offering high returns but also higher risk. - Debt Mutual Funds:Â Invest in fixed income securities like bonds. They are generally safer but offer lower returns. - Balanced Mutual Funds:Â These funds invest in both stocks and bonds, offering moderate risk and returns. - Index Funds:Â These mirror a specific market index. Theyâre often passive funds and tend to have lower fees.
Choosing the Right Mutual Fund
When it comes to selecting the right mutual fund, consider these factors: - Your Risk Appetite:Â Know how much risk you are comfortable taking. - Investment Goals:Â Are you saving for retirement or a big purchase? Your goal will guide your choice of fund. - Fund Performance:Â Look at the fundâs historical performance, but remember, past performance doesnât guarantee future results. According to a report by Value Research, as of mid-2023, over 37% of Indian households were investing in mutual funds, showcasing their growing popularity.
The Process of Investing
Investing in mutual funds in India is simple. Here are the steps: - Research:Â Understand the different types of funds available. - KYC Registration:Â Complete your Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements through proper documentation. - Choose a Fund:Â Based on your research and goals, select a mutual fund. - Invest:Â You can invest a lump sum or set up a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). - Stay Informed:Â Monitor the fundâs performance and market conditions regularly.
Mutual Funds vs. Stock Market
Some might wonder how mutual funds compare to directly investing in the stock market. Hereâs the big difference:Â With stock market investing, you are responsible for selecting individual stocks and managing your portfolioâs risk. Conversely, mutual funds spread your risk across numerous assets, managed by professionals. However, investing directly in stocks could yield higher returns if you make smart choices. Each option has its pros and cons, and it largely depends on your knowledge and investment philosophy.

1. Clean Beauty and Sustainable Development
It has been found that the major factors influencing the beauty and personal care industry in 2024 are clean beauty and sustainability. Customers today are better informed about the components they consume and there is increasing concern on the quality of the formulation. Clean beauty that aims at using products that are safe from toxicity and sourced and processed correctly is now the trend. Thus, an increasing number of beauty companies are replacing some of the products with no toxins like parabens, sulfates, and synthetic fragrances.
This has also seen consumers shift their attention and preference to brands that emphasize sustainable activity and practices. Corporate social responsibility is being practiced through the implementation of green packaging, reusable containers, and non-lethal methods of product testing. LâOrĂŠal, Unilever, and Procter &Gamble are among those leading this change, with their green initiatives to match the aim of consumers. This change towards sustainable beauty can however be attributed to the changing culture where consumers want to make the right choices that enhance the environment.
2. The Beauty Industry and Customised Services with Technology
The second of the three important trends relates to the adoption of technology in beauty endeavors. Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and Data Analytics is transforming the field. Businesses are using AI solutions to recommend skincare and makeup products that will suit the skin type, preference of the client, and problems affecting the skin. For example, LâorĂŠal and Olay integrate AI to evaluate the customer information before recommending their products while the AR Apps enable the customer to test cosmetic products before buying them.
Skincare devices enhanced by technology are other products that are now being embraced by most people. Beauty-tech products like smart mirrors that determine skin conditions to wearable devices that help the consumer track the amount of UV exposure they are taking, help the consumer to become more part of beauty solutions. Combining the technology with personal care products improves the utility and caters to the increasing necessity of efficiency and comfort.
3. Social Networking Sites and the Concept of Influencer Advertising
While in 2024, social media remains to be influential in the determination of new relating to beauty standards. Several channels including Instagram, TikTok, as well as YouTube altered the way customers shop for and purchase beauty products and accessories. The coordination of influencers is capable of either making or breaking products, beauty bloggers, and celebrities and this has seen brands collaborating with influencers to reach a broader market. The major beauty trend that can be traced back to TikTok is the TikTok beauty boom which saw a lot of videos promoting skincare routines, product reviews, and makeup hacks.
Sharing platformsâ interactive form of use means that brands can directly interact with the targeted consumer and respond to their feedback in real time, thus promoting consumer loyalty. Consumers trust influencers to give them a genuine experience of the products they are endorsing hence making the use of social media platforms as one of the most powerful means of advertising beauty products. Brands are also going for user-generated content whereby they compel their consumers to create content and post them on social media platforms, increasing their outreach.

4. Inclusivity and Diversity
The concepts of inclusivity and diversity which were once trends for beauty brands, have now become important values. Todayâs consumers expect the industry to be inclusive of people of diverse skin tones, hair, and gender identity. The shift towards a more inclusive concept of beauty was pioneered by companies such as Fenty Beauty which expanded possibilities of products that are available to the consumers. In the contemporary world, most companies consider formulating their foundations and cosmetics in nearly all tones, so that, nobody feels left out.
Exclusivity has gone to other categories such as skincare and hair care besides makeup products that were initially only associated with women. These products are being developed to meet various needs that range from skin type, color, and even those that have certain likes and dislikes. This pressure towards the increase in the representation of the more diverse population is in line with the current trends within the society where customers demand that brands include everyone as they create their products, advertise, and incorporate the diverse sections of the population into their formulas.
5. Menâs Grooming: A New Demographic
The menâs grooming segment is another which has been experiencing considerable growth. Since peopleâs attitudes toward masculinity and taking care of oneself have changed during the last few years, men also tend to groom themselves and care for their skin. Facial hair grooming products such as beard oil facial wash and moisturizers for male skin are also trending. For example, LâOrĂŠal Men Expert and Gillette with launching their products especially targeting men and their requirements for body grooming.
Menâs grooming is also seen as one of the trends that emerged due to the shift in attitudes towards gender roles and representations where grooming is not only a womanâs concern anymore. The last activity has also been supported by social media, for example, male influencers encouraging men to follow grooming procedures and avoid prejudice when it comes to taking care of the skin and body. This segment is expected to grow further as brands extend the product range and target the male audience more actively.
6. Beauty Supplements and Inside-out Wellness
In 2024, the beauty market segment targets not only face and hair treatments but also beauty supplements. People are now seeking wellness products such as Vitamin supplements, collagen supplements, and probiotics that are said to enhance skin, hair, and nail health from inside the body. Modern companies Hum Nutrition and Vital Proteins have managed to become famous for their beauty vitamins which are designed to deliver hydration, anti-aging, and glow.
This trend is seemingly typical of the current movement toward holistic well-being, in which beauty is a component of a lifestyle plan. Modern customers try to purchase products that are not only useful in their daily lives but are also beneficial for their health; thus, the beauty supplement market should develop shortly.

Conclusion
Innovation dominates the beauty and personal care industry in the year 2024 more so flexibility and sustainability. As customers become conscious about the products they are using and their effects on health and the environment they are using, the brands are shifting towards clean, personalized, and technologically integrated solutions. There are interesting prospects for sales growth, and social networks remain an essential domineering factor; newcomers to inviting niches, such as menâs grooming products and beauty supplements, have emerged. As the industry develops, it will be affected by the constant trends of âclassificationâ, âdiversificationâ, and the purchase of products that reflect the clientâs values and needs.Â

Automotive Interior Market Poised for 3.9% CAGR Growth: The Impact of Electric Vehicles
The automotive interior market is evolving, and it's not just about making cars more aesthetically pleasing. It's a growing industry thatâs expected to surge from USD 149.2 billion in 2023 to an estimated USD 195.3 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.9%. The demand for more advanced, luxurious, and tech-enhanced car interiors is on the rise. So, what's driving this growth, and where is the market headed? Letâs take a deep dive into the automotive interior landscape.
What is the Automotive Interior Market?
At its core, the automotive interior market includes everything that shapes the inside of a vehicleâfrom seats and dashboards to infotainment systems and smart tech integrations. Itâs the stuff you experience when you sit behind the wheel or hop into the passenger seat.
Itâs easy to think that the interior is just about comfort and style. But the truth is, it plays a huge role in safety, entertainment, and overall driving experience. It's where design, technology, and safety converge to create something functional yet luxurious.
Access Full Report @ https://intentmarketresearch.com/latest-reports/automotive-interior-market-3170.html Â
The Key Components of Automotive Interiors
To better understand the automotive interior market, letâs break it down into its key components:
Seating Systems â The evolution from manual adjustments to heated, cooled, and massaging seats.
Dashboard and Instrument Panels â Incorporating smart displays, voice commands, and touchscreens.
Infotainment Systems â Touchscreens, wireless connectivity, and entertainment hubs.
Interior Lighting â Ambient lighting that sets the mood.
Upholstery and Materials â From leather to eco-friendly fabrics, this is all about comfort and sustainability.
Safety Features â Airbags, seatbelts, and other critical systems to keep passengers safe.
Whatâs Driving the Growth in the Automotive Interior Market?
The automotive interior market is poised for growth, but why? A mix of technological innovation, changing consumer demands, and the push for sustainability is shaping this industry.
1. Rise of Electric Vehicles (EVs)
With the surge of electric vehicles (EVs), the interior design is evolving. Since EVs don't have a traditional engine, designers have more flexibility to enhance cabin space. This has led to innovations like futuristic dashboards, minimalistic interiors, and advanced infotainment systems. EV buyers expect their interiors to mirror the advanced technology of their vehicles.
2. Consumer Demand for Comfort and Luxury
Consumers are now expecting more than just a basic seat and steering wheel. Features like climate-controlled seats, customizable lighting, and personalized infotainment systems are becoming standard. The car interior is now viewed as a place of comfort, relaxation, and entertainment.
3. Advanced Technology Integration
The modern car interior is all about tech. Weâre talking about touchscreens, voice assistants, and augmented reality (AR) dashboards. The integration of AI-powered infotainment systems, wireless charging pads, and smart dashboards has made interiors feel more futuristic than ever before.
4. Focus on Sustainability
Eco-friendly materials like vegan leather and recycled plastics are gaining popularity. This shift is not only to meet consumer demand for more sustainable products but also to align with stringent environmental regulations. Car manufacturers are continuously looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint without sacrificing quality and luxury.
5. Autonomous Driving Influence
The future of driving may be autonomous, and that shift will dramatically impact the car interior. With less need for traditional controls, interiors may resemble living rooms more than traditional vehicles. Imagine reclining in a fully autonomous car, where entertainment hubs, workspaces, and relaxation zones take center stage.

Major Trends Shaping the Automotive Interior Market
So, what trends are we seeing in this space? Letâs explore some of the most significant developments shaping the future of automotive interiors.

3. 3D Printing in Interior Components
The use of 3D printing in the automotive interior industry is allowing for faster prototyping and production of complex interior components. This trend is accelerating the design process and enabling more customized, intricate designs.
4. Advanced Ambient Lighting
LED and OLEDÂ technology is transforming how interiors are lit. Cars are now incorporating ambient lighting that changes color, responds to music, or even reacts to driving modes, enhancing the in-car experience.
5. Lightweight Materials for Better Efficiency
Weight reduction is key for improving vehicle efficiency, especially with the rise of electric vehicles. Automakers are incorporating lightweight materials like carbon fiber, aluminum, and advanced plastics in the interior to boost performance and reduce energy consumption.
Challenges in the Automotive Interior Market
Like any industry, the automotive interior market faces its share of challenges. These include:
Cost Pressures: As technology evolves, the cost of incorporating advanced systems increases. Automakers are tasked with balancing innovation with affordability.
Regulatory Hurdles: Stricter safety and environmental regulations require constant adjustments in material and design choices.
Sustainability Demands: While sustainable materials are in demand, sourcing and implementing these materials can be costly and time-consuming.
The Future of Automotive Interiors: Whatâs Next?
The automotive interior of the future is a blend of luxury, technology, and sustainability. As autonomous vehicles become more mainstream, weâll likely see interiors that emphasize comfort and functionality, with less focus on driving controls. Moreover, the rise of smart cars and AI will lead to interiors that adapt to individual needs and preferences, making every ride a personalized experience.
The shift toward sustainability will also accelerate. Expect more eco-friendly materials, such as biodegradable plastics, recycled fabrics, and low-impact manufacturing processes. As environmental regulations tighten, automakers will prioritize interiors that align with green manufacturing practices.
Conclusion
The automotive interior market is evolving rapidly, with advancements in technology, sustainability, and design reshaping how we view the inside of our cars. As consumers demand more comfort, luxury, and connectivity, the industry will continue to grow, reaching an estimated USD 195.3 billion by 2030.

Makeup Tools Products: Analyzing Current Size, Share, and Growth Trends
The global makeup tools market size is expected to reach USD 5.85 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The proliferation of beauty influencers across social media platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok has significantly impacted the market. These influencers utilize their platforms to demonstrate various makeup techniques, provide tutorials, and recommend products to their followers. As a result, they wield considerable influence over consumer preferences and purchasing behaviors. This phenomenon has increased demand for specific makeup tools influencers endorse, driving sales and shaping market trends. In addition, influencers are pivotal in promoting new product innovations and highlighting the benefits of different tools, generating heightened consumer interest and interaction. Consequently, this dynamic has contributed to the overall growth and market expansion.
Advancements in technology within the beauty industry have spurred the creation of sophisticated makeup tools that offer improved functionality, performance, and user convenience. For instance, there are now makeup brushes featuring synthetic fibers that replicate the softness and precision of natural hair, alongside ergonomic designs that enhance grip and application control. Furthermore, incorporating technology into makeup tools, such as LED lighting in mirrors for better visibility or smart brushes capable of analyzing skin conditions, caters to consumers interested in innovative, high-tech solutions. These technological strides drive product innovation, appeal to tech-savvy consumers, and play a pivotal role in the ongoing market evolution.
Makeup tools play a crucial role in achieving desired makeup effects and enhancing beauty, yet they are often considered optional purchases, especially among budget-conscious consumers. This perception leads consumers to hesitate when considering high-quality or premium-priced makeup tools, sometimes opting for more affordable alternatives or refraining from purchasing altogetherâthis price sensitivity challenges manufacturers and brands aiming to capture market share and maintain profitability. Economic downturns, fluctuations in disposable income, and changing consumer priorities can exacerbate this sensitivity, potentially reducing demand for makeup tools and putting pressure on profit margins. Educating consumers about the advantages of investing in durable, high-quality makeup tools can mitigate concerns about initial costs and encourage informed purchasing decisions based on long-term value and performance.
As consumer demand shifts towards personalized products and experiences that cater to individual preferences, customization has emerged as a key opportunity for manufacturers and brands within the industry. This trend is manifested in various forms, such as customizable brush sets featuring interchangeable heads or handles, personalized engraving services for makeup tools, a diverse range of color choices to match personal style preferences, and tailored functionalities that cater to different user needs. In addition, DIY customization kits enable consumers to personalize their makeup tools at home. By embracing customization, brands can distinguish themselves from competitors, deepen consumer engagement, foster brand loyalty, and stimulate sales growth in a competitive market environment, thereby contributing to market expansion.

Amazon Taps Anthropicâs AI to Overhaul Alexa
New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/amazon-taps-anthropics-ai-to-overhaul-alexa/
Amazon Taps Anthropicâs AI to Overhaul Alexa
Amazon is set to upgrade its Alexa voice assistant through a strategic partnership with artificial intelligence company Anthropic. First reported by Reuters, Amazon plans to launch a new version of Alexa, codenamed âRemarkable,â which will leverage Anthropicâs advanced Claude AI models. This upgrade aims to enhance Alexaâs capabilities, offering users more natural conversations, personalized shopping suggestions, and improved smart home controls.
The Race for AI Dominance in Voice Assistants
The voice assistant market has become increasingly competitive, with tech giants vying for supremacy. Google has made substantial progress with its AI-powered voice technology, putting pressure on competitors to innovate.
Amazonâs decision to partner with Anthropic reflects the intensifying race to develop more sophisticated AI assistants. As consumers demand smarter, more responsive voice interfaces, companies are exploring various strategies to meet these expectations.
Amazonâs move to incorporate external AI technology represents a notable departure from its previous focus on in-house development. Sources familiar with the project report that Amazonâs own AI models fell short of expectations during initial testing for the Alexa upgrade.
The companyâs internal AI reportedly struggled with response generation and exhibited slow processing times, taking up to seven seconds to answer prompts. This performance gap likely contributed to Amazonâs decision to seek external expertise.
By partnering with Anthropic, Amazon aims to leapfrog its current AI limitations. The collaboration allows Amazon to tap into Anthropicâs cutting-edge AI models, potentially accelerating the development of a more capable Alexa.
This strategy mirrors Microsoftâs partnership with OpenAI, highlighting a growing trend among tech giants to collaborate with specialized AI firms. As the complexity of AI development increases, such partnerships may become increasingly common in the industry.
The New âRemarkableâ Alexa
Amazonâs upcoming âRemarkableâ Alexa version will offer users a choice between two tiers of service. The Claude-powered, enhanced version will be available for a monthly subscription fee of $5-10, while the existing âClassicâ Alexa will remain free.
The premium version promises more advanced features, including:
More natural, context-aware conversations
Personalized shopping recommendations
Comprehensive news summaries
Enhanced smart home device control
However, this tiered approach raises questions about user adoption. Some Amazon employees have expressed concerns about whether customers will be willing to pay for features that were previously offered at no cost.
Market Implications
Amazonâs AI partnership could significantly impact the voice assistant market. If successful, the upgraded Alexa may help Amazon regain ground against competitors like Google Assistant and Appleâs Siri.
The subscription model for advanced features also represents a new monetization strategy in the voice assistant space. Its success or failure could influence how other companies approach the economics of AI-powered assistants.
Amazonâs collaboration with Anthropic extends beyond the Alexa project. The e-commerce giant has invested up to $4 billion in Anthropic and provides computing power to the AI firm. This arrangement gives Amazon early access to Anthropicâs technologies, potentially providing a competitive edge.
The Amazon-Anthropic deal, along with similar partnerships in the tech industry, has attracted the attention of international competition authorities. Regulators are investigating these AI collaborations for their potential effects on market competition, signaling increased oversight of AI developments in the tech sector.
The Bottom Line
As the October launch of âRemarkableâ Alexa approaches, the tech industry will be watching closely. The success or failure of this initiative could have far-reaching implications for the future of voice assistants, AI development strategies, and the competitive landscape of the tech industry as a whole.
The move also raises broader questions about the role of AI in consumer technology, the balance between innovation and privacy, and the economic models that will sustain the next generation of AI-powered services. As these technologies continue to evolve, they will likely reshape not only how we interact with our devices but also the structure of the tech industry itself.
