‘I thought I told you to stay home’ Grumbled Chuuya from under his blankets. His forehead shone with a thin layer of sweat, his eyes glistening with sickness. His gaze was inevitably glued to you who leaned near his bedside table preparing what seemed like his medicine. He thanked whatever god was out there for the warm, thick blanket covering him, because the way you bent over measuring his medicine would be the death of him. The short skirt you wore left little to none to the imagination. He tried desperately to look away, but the curves of your ass were barely covered with that baby blue lace, which only made it harder for him to pry his gaze away.

It was as if you were doing this on purpose, trying to rile him up. As you neared him holding the cup containing the foul smelling liquid, he propped himself up, blanket pooling at his waist. His chiselled chest exposed, he could feel his heart trash around his chest. His cold really wasn’t that bad to be honest, it was more so the way your every move or glance had his heart leaping that kept him on edge.

‘You didn’t have to do all this, I'm fine.’ Chuuya muttered, his voice raspier now, almost sounding like a growl. His slight fevered state only heightened his awareness of you, and your every movement truly only seemed designed to torment him.

You gave him a small, teasing smile as you handed him the medicine. ‘I couldn’t leave you like this,’ you said, your voice soft and sweet, but there was a knowing gleam in your eyes. You knew exactly what you were doing, how much power you held over him in this moment. Chuuya’s hand trembled slightly as he took the cup from you, his fingers brushing yours in a fleeting touch that sent a jolt of heat straight to his groin. He mentally cursed himself for being so reactive, his whole being putty in the palm of your hand. He downed the medicine quickly, wincing at the bitter taste, his eyes falling back on you.

Sitting on the bed next to him, you pressed the back of your hand to his forehead, leaning forward. A concerned expression covered your face as you checked his temperature. Chuuya’s gaze flickered to your exposed cleavage, feeling himself get dizzy for a hot second. Scoffing, he turned his gaze away, cheeks almost matching his fiery hair.

He fought so damn hard to keep his gaze elsewhere, anywhere but there. But it was impossible. The way your shirt dipped, the curves of your breasts… He squeezed his eyes shut, frustrated by the growing storm raging inside him.

‘Chuuya you’re so red, are you alright?’ He blinked, looking back at you, the same sly smile covering your features. God- You were so close, he felt as if he was hallucinating. His heart raced as you leaned in, your face hovering inches from his. The warmth of your breath ghosted over his skin, making his already fevered body feel like it was burning up from the inside out. He swallowed hard, trying to focus on anything but the way your eyes sparkled with amusement.

‘I told you I’m fine,’ he muttered, though his voice betrayed him with a slight tremble.

‘Just… feeling a bit hot.’ he added quickly, though he knew it wasn’t just the cold making him feel this way. You smiled, your fingers gently brushing through his ginger locks .

"Maybe you need something to cool down then, take your mind off this cold." you teased, your voice soft and soothing, but there was an underlying tension that neither of you could ignore. Chuuya felt torn between wanting to pull you closer and trying to maintain some level of composure.

‘You're… making this hard,’ he said, his voice shaking slightly. He was rapidly losing his composure. His eyes flickered, desperately searching for a distraction, but you had him completely cornered. His body felt heavy from both the cold and the undeniable tension crackling between the two of you. You were close—too close—and every fibre of his being was aware of it. The sound of your soft breathing, the scent of your perfume, and the warmth that radiated from you made his pulse quicken.

‘Oh really? How so?,’ you replied, your tone light, but your eyes betrayed a deeper understanding of the effect you had on him. Chuuya gulped, his sapphire eyes completely lost in yours. His cock was hard, oh so embarrassingly hard after not even a single touch from you. The blanket somewhat hid it a little, but he fidgeted under the covers, his tongue darting out to moisten his lips. He gritted his teeth, struggling to keep his composure, but your proximity and the way your eyes sparkled with mischief weren’t helping.

‘You know exactly what you’re doing,’ he growled softly, the frustration in his voice evident. He wasn’t just battling this stupid cold anymore; he was attempting an unwinnable fight against his body right now. It was utterly betraying him, the blanket now doing little to conceal his hardening cock. He shifted, trying to find some comfort, but every movement only seemed to create delicious friction that his body desperately craved.

‘Maybe I do, but do you mind?’ You cooed, your hand softly cupping his cheek as you leaned forward again, your gaze catching his. His cheeks caught on fire at the softness of your hand and your cleavage once again in full display for him. Your touch felt both featherlight and electrifying at the same time, and Chuuya knew he was damn well already under your spell. It was no news to him though, he had always been fond of you.

‘I-’ He paused, silently cursing himself for how utterly desperate his voice sounded ‘I… don’t mind’ He admitted, gaze quickly looking off to the side as if avoiding yours trying desperately to hide his feelings. His chest tightened, and for a moment, panic seized him. Did he really just admit how much he wanted you?

He feared the cold had lowered his defence, fearing to spill even more of his heart to you in the midst of something happening. It wasn’t just a spur of the moment thing, it was quite the opposite actually. He couldn’t even recall the number of times he found his gaze drifting to you naturally, wondering how your lips would taste on his, how you’d feel clawing at his back as he made sweet sweet love to you, but more importantly how it would feel to call you his.

The tension in the room was thick enough to cut a knife, as you gazed at him intently. Your teasing look subtly transformed into one of pure admiration hinting to something much deeper, your feelings for him shining like a lighthouse into the dark sea.

‘Chuuya, can I… touch you?’ Your voice was sweet, contrasting with your other hand trailing down his chest, deliriously close to the hem of his underwear. There was no mistaking the tent in his boxers by now, visible even through the thick blanket. Chuuya felt his face heat up, feeling completely exposed, his throat dry. Mind reeling, he nodded eagerly — a little too eagerly — eliciting a small smile from you. There was nothing more he wanted on this earth than to to feel the subtle touch of your fingers against his skin, or your pretty mouth wrapped around his dick. Stop.

God— He was so desperate, for your touch feeling as if this cold only intensified the sensitivity of his body. His hands clenched the blanket, desperate for something to ground him, but nothing could quell the ache. He felt like his mind was spinning, insides twisting as his eyes were glued to your hand, and how with each passing second it neared where he needed you most.

‘W-Wait-’ Chuuya’s voice trembled as his fingers wrapped around your wrists, halting you in your movement. His mind snapped, actions registering before he could even wrap his mind around what even he was going to say. His body was on fire, every nerve alive conflicting with both his sickness and the sheer desire for you, but there was something prevailing on his mind. He couldn’t let himself give in, not without saying what had been on his mind for so long.

‘I can’t… I have something to say.’ His voice was low, a rough whisper full of frustration and vulnerability. He squeezed his eyes shut, cursing himself for feeling so exposed. This wasn’t how he imagined pouring his heart out, no never in a million years. But the cold, the heat of your body, your soft touches—it had all stripped away his usual defences.

Your expression softened, your hand still resting on his chest, fingers curling lightly against his heated skin. ‘What is it Chuuya?’ you asked, your voice gentle.

He opened his eyes, sapphire depths meeting yours, and in that instant, something broke free inside him. ‘I… Fuck- I care about you okay? Like, really care about you. And not just in the way you’re probably thinking right now.’ He glanced down, his face flushed with both fever and embarrassment, but he forced himself to meet your gaze again and keep on going. He could not allow himself to get intimate with you if you did not return his feelings — he was not like that. The memories would haunt him for life if he did.

‘I’ve thought about this moment—I mean, us—more times than I can even remember. And it’s not just about wanting you physically, though Fuck- God knows I do.’ He paused, exhaling a shaky breath, his length straining against the thin material of his underwear as if to prove his statement. The words were spilling out of his mouth before he even had time to think about them, but his heart was being truthful right now, so vulnerable.

‘I can’t stand the thought of someone else with you - I need you all to myself. I want all of you to myself, not just tonight, not just because I'm sick and you’re there. But for real’

He let out a sigh of frustration, feeling as if he couldn’t express the depth of his feelings properly. Running a shaky hand through his hair, his eyebrows furrowed, cheeks reddening as he looked off toward the dim light of his bedside table.

‘I just… I love you a lot, that's what I'm trying to say..’ He admitted, his voice cracking slightly at the end, and his grip on your wrist loosened. He let out a shaky breath, his heart pounding in his chest as he swore he felt like he was on the verge of a heart attack. There was a silence and Chuuya swore that these were the longest five seconds of his life. He had battled the most fearsome enemies in Yokohama, but nothing scared him more than meeting your gaze right now, to be faced with the truth of your feelings.

‘Chuuya…’ your melodic voice rang through his ear, and he bit down on his lips, feeling your hand cup his cheek once again. Leaning into your touch, his lashes fluttered close for an instant, basking into your warmth. It felt good really, to pour his heart out, like an indescribable weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

‘I love you too, I always have. I wouldn’t have come here to take care of you, or proposed this, if I wasn’t feeling the same’ Chuuya’s gaze flew to meet yours. Did he heard you right? Or had the fever finally gone to his head making him hallucinate? His face now matching with his fiery hair, he exhaled another shaky sigh, mouth parting and closing trying to find the right words to say.

‘I- Damn it- Need’ you so bad’ It was like he had been given the golden key that unlocked the gates to heaven, and he knew he couldn’t wait anymore. Knowing that you felt the same, his long fingers intertwined with yours, pushing you down onto the bed, climbing on top of you. Pining both your wrists above your head, his body faintly glowed red, his gravity-manipulation ability forcing a gentle weight on your wrists, rendering you unable to move them.

You couldn’t help but let your gaze fall on the way his cock absolutely strained against the material of his underwear. A wet spot adorned the front of his boxer, the shadow it created only amplifying the wetness between your legs.

Struggling against the invisible restraints, your doe eyes met his. ‘Chuuya, you’re the one who should be resting. C’mon let me touch you..’ You cooed, desperately wanting to pleasure him first, but he was not like that. Even if he was at death's door you would come first, so it was not like a silly little cold would change any of that.

‘Waited too long, need to have you. This cold can go to hell.’ He mindlessly babbled, as his lips found refuge in the crook of your neck, before capturing yours in a heated kiss. His fingers grazed your skin as if he was afraid you might disappear any second, the scene unfolding before him feeling like a dream. He was so afraid that he’d wake up to square one, needing to ground himself deeply into reality.

The kiss was desperate, full of the longing he’d kept hidden for so long. He poured every ounce of his feelings into it, his lips moving against yours in a tender yet demanding way. Your body arched beneath him, pressing into his touch, but his ability kept you pinned down firmly against the mattress. You moaned in the kiss, tongues twirling as he pulled away, thumb resting on your bottom lip.

‘Open up for me, would you, doll?’ A hint of command prickled in his words, your lips parted almost instantly and before you knew it, he had leaned forward his spit dribbling down into your mouth.

‘Good girl, such a good girl to me’ His voice was hoarse, rough with lust, his gaze almost midnight blue by now. He could tell he had long gone and lost his composure, his raw instincts taken over. Swallowing his spit, you moaned, lifting your legs to wrap them around his hips. Chuuya felt his brain short-circuit when your clothed core pressed against his length, the warmth and sheer wetness making him see stars. Cursing under his breath, a strand of his ginger hair slipped past his shoulder as his cheeks flushed. Fingers digging your skin, his knuckles turned white, his tongue darting out to wet his pink lips. Lashes fluttering shut, your head fell back against the pillowcase, beads of sweat trickling down your cleavage. Your skirt had riled up, exposing your panties and bare juicy thighs, your voice resonating through the room.

‘Need you inside me’ You whimpered out, and Chuuya swore he could cum from your pleading voice alone. Your pussy was quivering begging for any type of friction, feeling your walls clench around nothing had you going mad.

‘Fu-Fuck yea okay- I got you princess’ Normally he thought he’d have made you wait a bit more for it, but he truly didn't have it in himself to make you wait. Was it because you looked so utterly vulnerable beneath him under the spell of his ability, or maybe it was simply because he had daydreamed about this moment for so long that he felt like waiting was not even an option. He had no idea, but he knew he needed your soft walls around him. Positioning his length, Chuuya shoots you another bashful glance.

‘Hey.. you sure you’re okay with this?’ He asked, as if trying to ground himself that this was really reality, that you truly wanted him. It still felt surreal to him somehow. You nodded, arching your back

‘Please Chuuya’ Your begging felt like sweet music to his ears, his long fingers quickly discarded your panties, his eyes glued to your soaked cunt.

‘So wet- God, you’re so beautiful” Rocking your hips against his, Chuuya hissed, his eyes rolling in the back of his skull. Pressing his body forward he gently started filling you up inch by inch. He felt small whimpers threaten to escape his parted lips, his breathing uneven already. The stretch felt delicious, your walls fluttered against his cock nestling comfortably inside you. The ache was so good, his cock filling you up so perfectly. Leaning his forehead against yours, he never once broke eye contact as his hips started moving.

‘Takin’ me so well, look at your pretty pussy’ He rasped, his sapphire gaze glued to the way your cunt swallowed him whole, a thin ring of cum already coating his dick. He felt like he was floating. Building rhythm, Chuuya couldn't help but moan seeing you so vulnerable under him. As much as he absolutely loved seeing you struggle against the invisible restraints of his ability, he desperately needed your hands all over him. The faint crimson glow of his ability subsidised as you regained control over your arms, as a dusted blush covered his face.

‘Touch me.. Please’ He begged shyly, and you couldn’t help but comply. His shy side was so endearing to you. He never showed it to anyone, considering it somewhat of a weakness, but it made you want to do anything and everything for him. Legs wrapped around his waist, your hips met his at a rough pace, your hands leaving no skin untouched. You were impatient. Impatient to have him coat your walls white with his cum, needing him all to yourself. Your hands trailed up his chest, nails clawing at his skin before bringing him down for a passionate kiss. Your tongues danced with each other, saliva mingling as his hot breath fanned against your lips. He broke the kiss from time to time to release whimpers and grunts, mindlessly blabbing how much he loved and adored you.

His pace was ruthless, never once stopping for a breather, before his long fingers gripped the underside of your knees angling you up. You yelped as the Executive’s pace increased tenfold, hitting your sweet spot instantly as if he’d known your body since the beginning of time. You were completely impaled on his cock, the sudden thrusts of his hips making your eyes water in pleasure, moans of his name endlessly pouring from your lips.

Feeling the inevitable coil in his stomach about to snap, his thumb met your pearl needing to make you cum on his dick before he could even begin to think about releasing deep into you.

‘My pretty girl.. C’mon give it to me’ His soft words doubled with the way he looked at you were more than enough to make you unravel under him. A choked out whimper leaves your lips as the overstimulation from his dick’s relentless pace and thumb over your clit has you gushing beneath him.

‘That’s right- cum on on my cock baby-’ His breath fanned against the shell of your ear, his hot breath tingling your skin like wildfire. The feeling of your walls fluttering around his length inevitably sent him spiralling as well as he halted, cockhead kissing your cervix, hips stuttering. Mind hazy, a silent cry escaped his parted lips, as one of his hands grasped yours in a desperate attempt to ground himself. Intertwining his fingers with yours he huffed and puffed heavily.

‘I-I’m gonna-’ He stuttered trying to warn you, beads of sweat dripping down his fair skin and you swore that in this moment he never looked this beautiful. It wasn’t long until your pussy was filled to the brim with his cum, feeling him softly collapse on top of you, his head on your chest.

Your heartbeat was so soothing as he tried catching his breath. Your fingers tangled in his orange locks, gently caressing his scalp. Looking up to meet your gaze, he felt on cloud 9, one of his hands coming to caress your cheek.

‘I love you so much..’ he whispered earnestly, pressing a chaste kiss on your forehead. Eyes falling on your exposed cunt, he couldn't help but notice the way a mix of both your juices dribbled down your thigh. A surge of heat rushed over his whole body at the realisation that he released deep - deep inside your pussy. Something primal light up inside him, his eyes darkening again. Long fingers tilting your pretty fucked out face to meet his, he looked at you silently. He needed more - He had waited way too long to have you and now he was insatiable. He could be greedy right? Just for tonight?

Feeling his dick harden again at the sight before him, Chuuya looked off to the side at the clock on his wall. 1:07 am, it indicated.

He had all night after all, he’d just rest tomorrow. This cold truly could go to hell.

[ID: Buttermilk being poured from a Moroccan ceramic cup with orange and black geometric designs into a glass. End ID]

لبن نباتي / Lbn nabati (Vegan traditional buttermilk)

Lbn (لْبْنْ or لْبَنْ; also transliterated "lban") is a Moroccan buttermilk drink. It is not to be confused with standard Arabic لَبَن‎ ("laban"), meaning "milk"; with Levantine لَبَن‎ ("laban"), also called لَبَن رَائِب ("laban ra'ib"), which is curdled milk (a.k.a., yoghurt); or with Levantine لَبْنَة‎ ("labna"), which is yoghurt that has been strained and thickened.

Instead, lbn is a traditional buttermilk. It is historically made the same way Western traditional buttermilk is: by leaving raw milk to sit at room temperature while the cream separates and rises to the top, allowing the cream to ferment, and then churning the cream until it separates further into milk solids (cultured butter) and a cultured liquid byproduct (traditional buttermilk). Commercial Western buttermilk, and some Moroccan lbn, is now no longer traditional buttermilk but instead cultured buttermilk, which is produced by fermenting low-fat milk; this produces a thicker, more acidic liquid than traditional buttermilk. Lbn is usually made with goat's milk, though cow's milk is also often used.

Lbn—very sour and tangy, slightly sweet, and about the consistency of milk—is consumed as a refreshing after-dinner drink during the summer. It is also used to soak كُسْكُس ("couscous") (made from durum, barley, or corn flour). Couscous with lbn is called سَيْكُوك ("saykouk") in Darija (Moroccan Arabic), or أزَيْكُوك ("azaykouk") in Tamazight.

Saykouk is a cold dish, commonly eaten in the desert and in rural areas during the summertime; but it is also sold from food carts and by vendors on bicycles year-round in cities. On Fridays, Moroccans often eat couscous dishes with lbn on the side, and may make some on-the-fly saykouk by pouring lbn into their bowls to soak the couscous that remains after the vegetables or meat in the dish have been eaten.

This recipe resembles cultured buttermilk, in that it ferments non-dairy milk with live cultures to achieve a sour taste. However, it more resembles traditional dairy buttermilk in taste and texture. Note that this lbn is intended for drinking and for recipes that call for Moroccan traditional buttermilk, and not for replacing Western cultured buttermilk in pastries or pancakes.

Recipe under the cut!

Patreon | Paypal | Venmo

Ingredients:

2 cups full-fat oat milk

1-3 vegetarian probiotic capsules (containing at least 10 billion cultures total)

A few pinches salt

A few pinches granulated sugar

Make sure your probiotic capsules contain no prebiotics, as they can interfere with the culture. The probiotic may be multi-strain, but should contain some of: Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium bifidus, Lactobacillus acidophilus. The number of capsules you need will depend on how many cultures each capsule is guaranteed to contain.

Instead of probiotic capsules, you can use a specialty starter culture pack intended for use in culturing vegan dairy, many of which are available online. Note that starter cultures may be packaged with small amounts of powdered milk for the bacteria to feed on, and may not be truly vegan.

Other types of non-dairy milk may work. My trial with soy milk did not succeed (it never became notably tangy). Soaked and blended cashews will thicken substantially, so be sure to blend cashews with at least twice their volume in (just-boiled, filtered) water if you want to use cashews as your base. I found that oat milk, as well as being more convenient and cheaper than cashews, more closely mimicked the taste of lbn. I have not tested anything else.

Instructions:

1. Boil several cups of water and use the just-boiled water to rinse your measuring cup, the container you will ferment your lbn in, and a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to stir. Your bowl and stirring implement should be in a non-reactive material such as wood, clay, glass, or silicone.

2. Measure oat milk into a container and open probiotic capsules into it. Stir the powder from the capsules in until well combined.

3. Cover the opening of the container with a cheesecloth or tea towel. Ferment for 24 hours: on the countertop in temperate weather, or in an oven with the light on in cold weather.

Taste the lbn with a clean implement (avoid double-dipping!) to see if it is ready. If it still tastes 'oaty,' continue fermenting for another 1-3 days, tasting every 12 hours, until it is notably tangy.

4. Blend lbn with large pinches of salt and sugar; or put lbn, salt, and sugar in a jar with a lid and shake to combine. Taste and adjust salt and sugar.

5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. This lbn will continue to culture slowly in the fridge and will eventually (like dairy lbn) become too sour to drink.

Serve chilled.

#I'm really excited about this one guys I have been racking my brain for a way to make vegan lbn forever!!#but that was before I knew about the power of culturing #Moroccan #cultured #fermented #vegan recipes #vegetarian recipes

Managed to get my hands on the temperature reactive Ice Breaker souvenir cocktail cup! It was the last one at Glacier Bar! When it gets cold it turns dark blue, and as it warms up it returns to its white/clear base!

Hey y'all, here's my suggestion for a great low waste, healthy, flavorful alternative to soda: kombucha! Not the stuff you buy at the health foods store that costs like $6 a bottle, no- the stuff you make at home.

Materials: a large glass container with a decently wide mouth (a pitcher, a jug, etc), a cloth (linen or cotton or whatever, a tea towel works), rubber bands, a wooden spoon, a ladle, green tea leaves, sugar, water, and a Scoby; you can buy the latter online, or you can find one locally with a little sleuthing, or you can make your own- just use an unflavored or 'original flavor' premade kombucha from the store.

Boil 4 cups of water, let cool 1 minute, and steep 3 tbsp green tea in it for 7-10 minutes. Remove the tea (don't press on it, you'll release tannins) and mix in 1 cup of sugar. Add in 8 cups of ice water to cool it, then pour that into your glass container. Ensure that it's room temperature, then add your Scoby. Seal the container with the cloth and rubber bands, and let sit 7-30 days, depending on how you like yours to taste.

You can drink it as is, or you can do a second fermentation to add carbonation; get some swing top or otherwise resealable glass bottles, and leave 1 inch of headroom when adding the booch. You can flavor it with a few tablespoons of whatever you want. I just did a batch of pinecone booch this week. I did lemon and charcoal last week, and hibiscus rose passion fruit the week before. The more sugar, the more carbonation. Seal it and let it sit for a few days at room temperature. Don't open them at room temp though, refrigerate for at least 3 hours before opening so you don't have an explosion.

To make your next batch, simply reserve the pellicle (the weird white thing that will appear on the top of your brew) and a cup of the liquid, and that's your Scoby for next time! You don't technically even need the pellicle- if it gets too thick, you can always toss it in the compost and just use the liquid, or you can make a fruit leather out of it, or even dog treats.

Anyhow, the cost of having a constant supply of kombucha flowing is simply the cost of water, green tea, and sugar, and about five minutes of your time every so often. It's easy, it's fun to experiment, and it's a great way to avoid soda while drinking something technically good for you.

But hey, kombucha isn't for everyone. And things can go wrong, it can be frustrating sometimes. All this is is a suggestion if you're looking for a more sustainable alternative to kick a soda habit!

PS- if you're disabled, look into getting a glass punch dispenser, it negates the need for a ladle, just ensure that the spout is not a reactive metal. You can find them at thrift stores, and they're always on sale at big box stores!

Paul Stanley Being edged and punish by his two lovers all night long? one has control over a big vibrator plug while the other pours wax, Bites him or just messes with him?

I like this idea, but I think I'm gonna reduce it to one partner and kinda expand on the wax aspect 👀 i sure hope it doesn't disappoint!

Experiments In Wax

Paul/Vinnie, wax play, temperature play, vibrators, nsft.

┍━━━━━━━ ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ━━━━━━━┑

Two sets of lips melded together, a kiss being passed between the two bodies, one nude and the other wearing nothing but a full-body set of lacey, black lingerie. Fingers laced together, their focus on each other, pulling away for air. Vinnie whispered something sweet and loving to the frontman underneath him, pecking his lips again, his other hand holding the side of his face. Paul's free hand was rubbing slow and gentle, up and down Vinnie's sides, where the lace didn't cover. He grinned, pushing his plush lips against Paul's again, the two nose to nose, enjoying each other's company and warmth.

"Remember what we talked about?"

"If something hurts or is too much, I tell you to stop."

"Exactly."

Vinnie pushed himself up, grabbing a lit candle from the metal candle holder keeping it safely in place as it melted in preparation. He smoothed the towel out below Paul just enough, taking his arm and laying it out, rubbing the inner elbow area gently with his thumb.

"Tell me if it's too hot, okay?"

He tipped the candle, just enough, a few inches above the skin, letting a few drops fall and cool down, Paul letting out a gasp at impact.

"That's fine, Vin."

Vinnie smiled, dripping more wax along his forearm, delighted that Paul was enjoying the sensation of hot wax hitting his sensitive skin and cooling there.

Meanwhile, he pulled a small controller previously tossed to the side, setting it on a low vibration pattern, relishing in Paul's pleased breathy moans. He loved how the frontman was so obedient to wear the vibrating butt plug, usually putting it in himself, even.

Vinnie pushed the controller away again, dripping the new glob of hot wax down on Paul's other inner arm, taking care to not accidentally burn him any. It left such lovely patterns of cream dots, lines, and splashes. He wondered what it would be like to play with other colors, make Paul look like a wonderful masterpiece covered in melted soy candle. He did love art too, after all.

His eyes flicked up to Paul's face, gauging his enjoyment and reactions, mostly that of pleasure, teeth pulling at his lower lip. He could see his dick even twitched a bit, which made Vinnie very excited.

He set the candle upright into the candle holder once more, grabbing a small cup on the nightstand full of small ice cubes. Taking one into his fingers and climbing over Paul, he rubbed it slowly over Paul's nipples. He gasped and arched his back, cheeks dusted in pink. It was such a dramatic change in temperature, the frozen cube melted easily over his skin, being slid further down. Vinnie trailed it over his stomach, then up the length of Paul's hardening cock. A lovely moan tore from his throat, and the guitarist bit his lip, the cube completely melted now under his touch. His body was so reactive to everything Vinnie did, he was curious as to what textures Paul would enjoy running over his skin.

He moved again to grab the candle and cup of ice cubes, setting the cup down on a flatter section of the mattress. He pushed Paul's legs open and tipped the candle again, letting it fall and drip down the curves of his inner thighs. He let out a soft moan at that, and Vinnie had quite the erection now listening to him. He fumbled for the small controller, turning the setting up just enough that it would have Paul really turned on. He was rewarded with long, low moans.

Vinnie dripped more wax, now focusing on making small patterns and geometric shapes on Paul's skin, watching them cool in awe. His other hand reached for an ice cube, circling it over Paul's chest once more.

Paul was in erotic bliss, feeling so many different sensations on his body, and the vibrating plug was teasing him to the edge. He was going to spill over if Vinnie kept this up, closing his eyes, which made every drop of hot wax that much more exciting; his thighs even shook a little. He felt his lover's cold fingers wrap around his cock and pump his length at a wonderfully brisk pace. His breath caught in his throat.

"Ohh.. Vincent..~"

It was almost too overwhelming, but it was just the right amount of stimulation all at once to have him moan with his climax, white ropes painting his stomach and covering Vinnie's fingers. The guitarist pumped him through the high of his orgasm, pulling his hand away to teasingly lick up the mess on his digits. It was sinfully delicious, and no doubt Vinnie was going to have Paul fuck his throat later. He blew out the candle then, turning the plug off, removing everything from the bed, and placing each thing neatly back onto the end table. Vinnie pushed his lips to Paul's once more, lovingly kissing him, letting him get a taste of himself on his tongue.

Why Your Hot Drinks Stay Hot: The Science Behind Temperature Retention

Ever wondered why some beverages stay piping hot while others turn lukewarm within minutes? The science behind temperature retention isn't just fascinating – it's revolutionizing how we enjoy our favorite drinks throughout the day.

Understanding the Basics of Heat Transfer

At its core, temperature retention is all about managing heat transfer. When you pour hot coffee or tea into a container, it naturally wants to reach equilibrium with the surrounding environment. This process happens through three main mechanisms: conduction, convection, and radiation.

Conduction occurs when heat moves through solid materials, like the walls of your cup. Convection happens as air circulates around your drink, carrying heat away. Radiation involves heat energy being emitted into the surrounding environment. Modern drink containers combat all these forms of heat loss through innovative design and materials.

The Evolution of Temperature Control Technology

Gone are the days of single-walled containers that left us with cold coffee before the morning meeting. Today's heat retention technology has transformed how we maintain our beverage temperatures. The breakthrough came with the introduction of vacuum-sealed spaces between container walls, effectively creating a thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat transfer.

This technology works because vacuum is an excellent insulator – there are virtually no molecules to conduct heat from one wall to another. When combined with reflective surfaces, it creates an impressive barrier against all three types of heat transfer.

Material Science: The Foundation of Temperature Control

The choice of materials plays a crucial role in maintaining your drink's temperature. High-grade stainless steel has become the industry standard for several compelling reasons:

Exceptional durability and longevity

Natural resistance to corrosion and staining

Ability to maintain structural integrity at various temperatures

Non-reactive nature that preserves beverage taste

When engineered into a double-wall construction, these materials create an impressive temperature control system that keeps hot drinks hot for hours on end.

The Role of Advanced Design Feature

Modern temperature retention isn't just about materials – it's about thoughtful design. Key features that contribute to superior heat retention include:

Sealed lids with minimal air exchange

Specialized gaskets that prevent heat escape

Ergonomic designs that maintain insulation while ensuring comfort

Strategic use of different materials for optimal performance

These design elements work together to create a comprehensive temperature control solution that maintains your beverage's ideal temperature for extended periods.

Real-World Performance and Practical Benefits

The impact of these technological advances is remarkable. Quality containers can maintain hot beverages within the optimal drinking temperature range (140-160°F) for up to 6-8 hours. This means your morning coffee can stay enjoyable well into the afternoon.

For professionals and busy individuals, this technology offers several practical advantages:

Reduced need for reheating beverages

Lower energy consumption from fewer microwave uses

Decreased waste from disposable cups

More enjoyable drinking experience throughout the day

Environmental Impact and Sustainability

The advancement in temperature retention technology isn't just about convenience – it's also about sustainability. By maintaining beverage temperature effectively, these containers reduce the need for single-use cups and frequent reheating, leading to significant energy savings over time.

Making the Most of Temperature Retention Technology

To maximize the benefits of modern temperature control, consider these practical tips:

Preheat your container with hot water before use

Ensure the lid is properly sealed after each use

Clean thoroughly to maintain optimal performance

Store at room temperature when not in use

Looking to the Future

As technology continues to advance, we're seeing even more innovations in temperature retention. From smart containers that actively monitor beverage temperature to new materials that provide even better insulation, the future of keeping drinks at their ideal temperature looks promising.

Conclusion

Understanding the science behind temperature retention helps us appreciate the engineering that goes into keeping our beverages at the perfect temperature. Whether you're a coffee enthusiast or simply someone who enjoys hot drinks throughout the day, modern temperature control technology has transformed how we maintain and enjoy our favorite beverages.

The next time you take a sip of perfectly hot coffee hours after brewing, remember the complex interplay of physics, material science, and engineering that makes it possible. It's not just about keeping drinks hot – it's about enhancing our daily drinking experience through thoughtful design and innovative technolo

Why Ceramic Davara Tumblers Are a Must-Have for Coffee Lovers

With these classic ceramic pretties, tradition meets taste, sip by sip.

The first coffee wave occurred in the 1800s when the brewed drink was commodified and widely consumed; the establishment of Starbucks and Caribou Coffee in the 1970s established a strong coffee culture, ushering in the second wave; and the ongoing third wave began when coffee drinkers began focussing on methods of production and bean origin. Even within the third wave, there are numerous sub-categories where brands focus on factors such as sustainability, improving coffee bean quality, specialising in fair trade coffee, and inventing innovative brew methods.

In all honesty, coffee, like an iPhone, has continued to evolve year after year, and just as we were learning to distinguish between our Chemex and cold drip, new terms, brewing equipment, coffee-brewing rituals, and more emerged.

Brands like Wüsthof, Le Creuset, and All-Clad are favorites among Dubai’s elite.

Maintaining Your Kitchen Utensils for Long-Lasting Performance in Dubai

Proper maintenance of your kitchen utensils is essential for their longevity and optimal performance. In Dubai, where the climate can be harsh, regular cleaning and care are particularly important. Stainless steel utensils should be washed promptly to avoid tarnishing, while wooden utensils should be oiled regularly to prevent cracking. Silicone utensils should be cleaned carefully to avoid build-up of food residue. Storing utensils properly, such as in drawers or utensil holders, will help keep them in good condition.

The Science Behind Soapstone Coffee Cups

When it comes to enhancing your coffee experience, the vessel you choose to drink from can make a significant difference. Soapstone coffee cups are gaining popularity for their unique properties and benefits, making them a preferred choice among coffee aficionados. But what is it about soapstone that sets it apart? Let's delve into the science behind soapstone coffee cups and discover why they are an excellent addition to your daily coffee ritual.

What is Soapstone?

Soapstone is a metamorphic rock composed primarily of talc, with varying amounts of chlorite, pyroxenes, micas, amphiboles, carbonates, and other minerals. It is characterized by its soft, smooth texture and soapy feel, hence the name "soapstone." This unique composition gives soapstone several remarkable properties that make it ideal for use in kitchenware, including coffee cups.

Thermal Properties

One of the most notable attributes of soapstone is its exceptional thermal properties. Soapstone has a high specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and retain heat (or cold) for extended periods. This quality is crucial for coffee cups, as it helps maintain the temperature of your beverage longer than conventional materials like ceramic or glass.

When you pour hot coffee into a soapstone cup, the stone absorbs some of the heat, reducing the risk of burning your hands. Simultaneously, it retains this heat, keeping your coffee warm for a more extended period. Conversely, if you prefer iced coffee, a soapstone cup can keep your drink cold longer by absorbing and retaining the chill.

Chemical Properties and Safety

Soapstone is chemically inert, meaning it does not react with acidic or alkaline substances. This property ensures that your coffee's flavor remains pure and unaltered. Unlike some metals that can impart a metallic taste to your drink or ceramics that may contain harmful chemicals in their glazes, soapstone is a safe and non-reactive material for your beverages.

Additionally, soapstone is non-porous, which prevents it from absorbing liquids and retaining odors. This non-porous nature makes soapstone coffee cups easy to clean and maintain, as they do not harbor bacteria or stains.

Durability and Longevity

Soapstone is renowned for its durability. While it is relatively soft compared to other stones, it is still resilient enough to withstand daily use. Unlike ceramic or glass cups that can easily chip or shatter, soapstone coffee cups are less prone to damage. With proper care, a soapstone cup can last for many years, making it a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious consumers.

Aesthetic Appeal

Beyond its functional benefits, soapstone also offers a unique aesthetic appeal. Each piece of soapstone is distinct, with its own natural patterns and color variations ranging from light gray to deep charcoal. This individuality adds a touch of elegance and uniqueness to your coffee-drinking experience. Handcrafted soapstone coffee cups often feature artisanal craftsmanship, making them not only practical but also beautiful works of art.

Eco-Friendly Choice

Choosing soapstone coffee cups is an eco-friendly decision. Soapstone is a natural material that requires minimal processing compared to synthetic or heavily processed materials. Additionally, its longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, decreasing overall waste. By opting for soapstone, you are contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle.

Caring for Your Soapstone Coffee Cup

To ensure the longevity and performance of your soapstone coffee cup, it is essential to follow some simple care instructions:

Cleaning: Wash your soapstone cup with warm, soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as they can damage the surface. Soapstone's non-porous nature makes it easy to clean with just a gentle wipe.

Seasoning: Some soapstone cups benefit from occasional seasoning, especially if used for hot beverages. To season, simply rub a small amount of mineral oil on the cup's surface and let it absorb. This helps maintain the stone's luster and protective properties.

Handling: Although soapstone is durable, it is still a good idea to handle your cup with care to prevent accidental drops or impacts. Avoid placing it directly on high-heat surfaces like stovetops or open flames.

Conclusion

Soapstone coffee cups are more than just a stylish choice; they offer a combination of thermal efficiency, chemical safety, durability, and aesthetic appeal that enhances your coffee-drinking experience. The science behind soapstone's unique properties makes it an ideal material for maintaining the perfect temperature of your coffee, whether hot or cold, without compromising on taste or safety. By investing in a soapstone coffee cup, you are not only choosing a functional and beautiful piece but also making a sustainable and eco-friendly decision. Enjoy your coffee in a soapstone cup and experience the blend of tradition and science that keeps your beverage just the way you like it.
