Rivalry

Okay, so great request, I love the so-called enemies with benefits thrope. I don't think there would be a character fitting this more than him too. Maybe Jess or Emily? Idk, I just know that this was fun <3

Part 1 I Part 2

“At least I’m not some stuck up bitch who can’t even solve a simple equation!” Josh shouts, walking up the stairs. 

“Well, I don’t need anger management classes, I’m actually sane!” I shoot back, walking up the other set of stairs. 

I can feel the tension down in the living room, everyone holding their breath. They were all waiting for one of us to explode, one of us to finally be done with each other’s crap. He failed and I won… This round at least. I’d been giving him small snarky remarks all week, slowly riling him up, and I loved it. Usually, we both go at it, but after his sisters heard a comment which struck a little bit too hard, they took him into a room and gave him a berating like a little child. It was hilarious. And now, when we were with everyone up on the mountain, he didn’t dare to insult me in public, afraid that his sisters would berate him once again. After building up, he finally popped, unable to contain his anger and lashing out. Honestly, I did too, I hated him after all. No wonder they say that all rich kids are spoiled and rude, except his sisters of course. 

I don’t know what caused this particular fight. We were all playing a card game, and I used a bit too long to add up the points. Apparently, that was his breaking point. No wonder it took some time, I’ve drunk and I’m tired. I continue making my way up the stairs, walking to my room and slamming the door. I’m sure to lock it too. As I turn around, I’m met with his body slamming into mine, forcing me back on the door. I whine as my back hits the handle. He keeps kissing me roughly and passionate, getting all of his built up frustration out.  

“Not the first time you’ve had that reaction to the door knob” he teases, smirking against my lips. I hate him. I hate his infiltrating nature, and classic smirk, thinking he’s better than everyone else. 

“Well, maybe stop slamming me into it” I comment, grabbing the collar of his shirt and dragging him to the bed. 

“You’re giving me too much power darling” he continues, putting an extra soft tone on the nickname. If it weren’t him, I would have blushed from the name, but I’ve gotten used to his snarky remarks, and I knew he just used them to get under my skin. 

“Stop calling me that Washington” I whisper back in between breaths. I push him down on the bed, going on top of him and pulling at his shirt. He helps me, dragging it off and revealing his toned body. His skin is hot to the touch, and I feel like I’m on fire on him. Slowly being dragged into madness. Though this was not something new. I don’t know when we started doing this, but we both decided that it would be the best way to relieve our frustration. 

“I would prefer it if you called me Josh” he whispers in my ear, starting to leave soft kisses on my neck. 

“Keep dreaming”

“One day you’ll slip”

“I would never” I state as I quickly drag my sweater off, revealing my bra. He stops taking a look at my stomach, sliding his fingers over the dark spots he left the other night. 

“You know, I think you should start parading these” 

“And let everyone know what we’re doing? Absolutely not”

“You’re the boss” he laughs, taking hold of my thighs. I know what he’s about to do. He’s going to turn us around, forcing me under him and taking control, but I won’t let him. Right before he’s about to turn, I put my foot down, and he fails miserably. He grunts against my lips, and I can’t help the smirk that creeps. 

“Smart girl” he comments, unbuttoning my pants. 

“I know your patterns” I whisper, still smirking while he’s working on my neck. He suddenly stops, looking up at me with that familiar smug look. 

“Oh really?” he challenges. He tries to turn us the other way, but I react quickly, stopping him yet again. 

“Fuck” he whispers, admitting defeat. 

“That’s what I thought” I tease him, and I can sense his anger building up again. 

I feel around his shoulder, grazing every part of him, every curve and every muscle. I stand up, taking off my pants, and he does the same, throwing off his underwear at the same time. I take off my bra as well. Before he’s able to react, I push him down on the bed again. Determined to win both rounds today.

He’s surprised by my actions, and tries to get up again, but he only manages to sit up before I take my place on his thighs, kissing him roughly once again. 

When we started doing this, we said no kissing, but as time went on, we figured that it helped the mood a lot. And we would not be talking and insulting each other, too busy fighting for dominance and eating each other's faces off. 

One of his hands moves down to my folds, sliding and tickling lightly. I hate when he does that, making both of us aware of how hot he gets me, how I turn to putty in his arms. 

“N-no” I whine, head going into his shoulder for support while I try to breathe calmly. There was no doubting the fire in between us. Passion, teasing and heavenly lovemaking. The other guys have commented on how we would be perfect for each other if we just put our rivalry aside, but neither of us could. I don’t even know what started it. I remember him being a jerk, and I shot back. The group told me no one else does, they just ignore his remarks. But when I tried, he just pushed harder, making my bubble pop. 

He puts two fingers inside me, and starts pumping them in and out, thumb rubbing soft circles around my clit. 

“Fucking hell, Washington” I moan, throwing my head back in pleasure. He always knew how to work his fingers in the most efficient way possible, able to make me cum in no time. I wouldn’t let him win this time. I take hold of his cock, pumping painfully slowly, making him lose his rhythm. He starts moaning, giving loud grunts and occasional whines. To fuel the experience, I start kissing his neck. As an automatic response, he tilts his head, giving me better access. 

“You’re really off your game today” I tease against his tan skin. The comment makes him wake up, and he quickly grabs hold of my busy hand, forcing it around his neck. I look up confused, unsure about his next move. He moves his hips, hopping me up so I land right down on his dick. The sudden fullness throws me off, and I I give out an uncontrollable moan. He smirks, obviously proud of his little accomplishment. 

“Are you insane?” I ask, panting and sweaty, still getting used to him inside me. 

“Only with you” he whispers, starting to move. “The way you’ve been talking to me… You deserve every bit of this”. 

The action throws me off, and I can’t help the erotic sounds coming out of my mouth. The possessiveness and darkness in his voice turns me on even more, making each thrust sloppier and wetter. I try to push him back on the bed, trying to gain my lost control, but he doesn’t fall. Instead he grabs my thighs harshly, making me whine out in pain. He uses the opportunity to capture my lips again, his mouth winning over mine easily. The grounding of the bed suddenly leaves my legs, and I feel him standing up, holding me tight whilst still inside me. 

“What are you-” my question is stopped by my back slamming against the wall, my breath knocked out. Not being busy with my lips, he attacks my chest and collar with his mouth. His cock is still sliding in and out of me, and I feel my core building up again. I need this, I want to come so fucking bad. I hear his breathing quickens, and my legs wrap around him while he is still holding me up between his torso and the wall. 

He doesn’t even need to rub my clit, our bodies so tight together that the friction from his pelvis is more than enough. I give a whine as I try to hold my release, desperate not to fail. 

“Come on, come on” he chants, biting down on my shoulder to stop himself from finishing. 

I give a small cry as I come, and he does as well. I don’t know who did first, but we both still stand against each other, my back against the wall and legs in the air. We both breathe heavily in tact, emotions all over the place. I look at his lips, feeling almost desperate for some sort of closure. But that cannot work. It’s too intimate for both of us. He keeps looking into my eyes, as if he’s searching for something, but doesn't know what to expect. I’m scared he’ll find out about me, that one part of me wants to be something more, do something deeper. I wiggle a little, and he carefully sets me down, making sure I still can feel my feet and have balance. We both walk in silence over to our clothing, and I have to look all over my room to find my bra. 

“Hey” he exclaims, and I look up, seeing my panties in his hands. 

“Give them here Washington” I threaten, holding out my hand. He gives me that irritating smug look, and I’m almost happy I didn’t kiss him in the end. As I go to grab them, he lifts them higher in the air, dodging my attempts. 

“It’s Josh, say it!” he teases, and I look at him with contempt. 

“I swear to god, if you don’t give me-”

“You’ll what? Fuck me again?” he smirks, proud of his remark. 

“You know what, keep them” I wave my hand, putting on my leggings. 

“Knowing that you’re walking around like that is gonna turn me on even more” 

“Ugh, get a life Washington. Don’t you have anything better to do than thinking about me?”

He laughs, a small one which sounds genuine. “I guess I don’t”

“See you in a couple of hours” I say, making my way to the door. 

“Two times in one night?”

“You can be so infuriating” I say to him, seeing him put my panties in his pocket. 

“Well, that’s just part of the game”

IBARA SAEGUSA + BREEDING (DC)

You work too closely to him and too similarly. You’re a threat, and he needs to get you out of the way and well... Drastic times call for drastic measures.

(NSFW Below Cut)

When you first cropped up, Ibara didn’t think much of you.  

Producing and being an idol at the same time is hard work- most people can’t do it. There’s few who take on both of those jobs at once for a reason. Surely, surely, you’ll wash out like many others, deciding to keep to one or another. It’s inevitable. 

But then you don’t. 

You’re organized, smart, dedicated, motivated- all the same as him, and it drives Ibara insane.  

You work too closely to him and too similarly. You’re a threat, and he needs to get you out of the way and well... Drastic times call for drastic measures. 

Ibara’s friendly to you. He makes your work easier on you. He praises you. Hell, he even helps you out on occasion. There’s nothing for you to suspect. While your work ethic makes you a threat, your naivete about other people in business makes you an easy target. You’re too trusting, too nice. You’re objectively a much nicer person than him... It’s the one thing he has above you, and it’s going to be the thing he uses to get to you. 

Over time you let him closer. Casual taps on the arm advance to the occasional shoulder pat to playfully linking arms. You talk about shared projects, then general work, then personal goals. You start to trust him more and more. It’s almost a shame, Ibara thinks. A person as nice and genuine as you are choosing this industry to work in... You deserve better.  

At least after he’s done with you it won’t be a problem anymore. 

*****

Casual friendly touches get further and further, until they begin to blur the line between what’s appropriate and what's supposed to be inappropriate for people in your stations. The first time Ibara fucks you, it’s in your dressing room after a live.  

He’d helped you with some difficult contractors for this event and he’s come to see the results. Just as you are intelligent and nice, you’re also a force to be reckoned with on stage. With adrenaline running through you, you practically throw yourself on him after he propositions you. So easy it was that Ibara almost suspected you might’ve been leading him into a trap instead but no, nothing. Once again, you display a naivete that others in the industry have long learned to do without. 

You whined and moaned from his movements. He curled his fingers in you, toyed with your chest, told you dirty things, made you taste him, made you take him- everything he could think of. He made notes of every little thing that made you crumble for future reference. The only problem was the way you insisted on a condom... It was good and he enjoyed it but... he’s a man on a mission, and this mission allows for no personal pleasure seeking or sentimentality. Ibara knows what he needs to get done for his and Eden’s career. 

It only escalates in frequency. You can now recall times when he locked your door and he, the Ibara Saegusa, threw himself onto his knees in front of your office chair. You’ve hidden away in his office and been pressed up against his windows at night in the dark. You can now expect to find at least one article of your clothing to be permanently hidden within his own. You’re now sure that there’s probably at least one of his shirts hiding in your laundry at any point in time. 

You might never have had “the talk” but with not only the physicality of everything, but the other interactions between you too? It’s hard for you to describe your relationship as just friends with benefits. You trust him and as far as you know, he trusts you. Why would you ever have a reason to suspect his intentions? 

You don’t question him, and he moves on with his plan. Condoms are just so uncomfortable... how about pulling out? If it’s too risky you can use spermicide or something? What about ovulation tests and tracking your cycle? Come on, don’t you think it’ll feel better too...?  

Slowly your hesitation wanes as do your complaints about wanting to use protection. Ibara’s right, there are other forms of birth control. If you’re ever really desperate, there’s even Plan B. You trust him... He would never do something to risk one of your careers. 

*****

It’s been long enough. 

A big awards event has just happened, and both of your units won in the categories you were nominated for. The night had been filled with celebration and joy and the slightest bit of champagne. You now head back to your apartment... or you pretend to, before heading to a hotel Ibara texted you. 

It’s a golden opportunity and he has full intentions of taking advantage of it. 

Within the privacy of the hotel, there’s nothing keeping you from each other. The door is barely closed before you feel yourself pushed up against it. Ibara’s mouth is immediately on your own, harshly biting your lip and trying to coax you open. Your reaction is immediate. Complete submission to his whims. With your mouth open there’s no hesitation for his tongue to enter your mouth, tangling with your own and stealing your breath away. The taste of the fancy drinks has long faded away but just being in his presence starts to make you feel drunker than any alcohol could ever make you. 

His hands explore you; they already know every ridge and bump and weak spot- both the ones that make you crumple in pleasure and pain- but he still moves them with as much interest as your first time together. The contrast between his hands drives you insane when one insists on pushing you against the wall while the other one tries to pull your hips closer.  

You can’t help but raise a leg to wrap around Ibara’s hips and he immediately takes it and pulls it upwards. Before you know it, both of your legs are pressed up to your chest and you’re trapped between the man and the wall. He finally moves on from your mouth and you don’t know how he’s not panting like you are now. His mouth just explores lower to your neck. No marks can be left there because of your careers, but he can already anticipate how the future months will break down that excuse. For now, he can just kiss and nip at it, not quite as intense as he would like, but satisfying enough to move on for now. 

He pulls his head back and stares at you. The sight from your perspective is enticing to say the least. His face flushed from your making out, the hotel light shining from somewhere behind him that gives him a halo, his messy hair and clothes that hint at your shared actions... 

Ibara smirks at your staring, letting you bask in him for a few moments, then continues his plan. He already has you in his arms, all it takes for him to carry you to bed is to shift your weight and walk a few steps over. You yelp in surprise at the sudden action- he’s not exactly the largest guy, it’s much too easy to forget the amount of training he does. You flop onto the bed and bounce a bit from the drop. It’s his turn now to stare, standing between your parted legs. Admiring all the same things you did for him. 

He briefly stares at you in contemplation. You’re so excited for this... little do you know of his plans. The way he intends to ravage you tonight. The way he wants to keep going at it with you until there’s no chance you aren’t going to be carrying his child. The way he wants to knock you up and watch you get fat and useless over the course of months... 

He practically lunges for your waistband, pulling off your pants and underwear in one go. Ibara’s waited so long for this, he needs it, needs to finally take you. He grasps at your top next, yanking it off as well. It’s astounding how practiced this is, you truly are just in the palm of his hand. 

He can immediately see that you’re dripping wet but he’s not going to go straight for your hole, no, he wants you more desperate before he does that. He drags a finger between your folds to gather up some slick, then brings his fingers slightly upwards to rub around the area he knows your clit should be. The move is so familiar to him by now, another carefully memorized part of the plan he’s executing. He carefully massages the area until he finds that certain spot that makes you inhale sharply. Having found his target, he smiles. 

It’s very sudden that his hands move faster. While the one he’s now placed at your chest to play with your nipples is quite pleasant, the feeling of his aggressive stimulation of your clit makes you nearly squeal. You resist the urge to clamp your legs shut around Ibara’s hand and instead just close your eyes. The darkness makes your body just that much more sensitive than before.  

“What a whore... acting like this.” 

He stops briefly to slap your clit and your legs shake more and more with the strain of not moving. 

You whine at Ibara’s harsh words, not gone enough yet to fully avoid protesting. He gathers up more slick onto his fingers before continuing to pleasure you once again. Though, you quickly note that now he’s reaching for your clit with his thumb, and now two of his fingers wait just outside of your hole. He massages once again until your clit is located once again and, pressing down onto it, slides his fingers inside.  

Ibara smiles at the way you thrash your head, resisting the urge to move but desperately wanting to do so. “What would your fans think if they saw you like this...?” 

You want to respond to his words, but the moment your open your mouth he begins to pump his fingers in and out of you, stimulating your clit all the while. Instead of any complaint, a pitchy moan is what leaves instead. He nearly laughs at the flustered expression you make. 

“Hm, how unprofessional. I expected better from you.” 

Every single one of his words makes your face burn hotter. Though disheveled, he’s still fully clothed. Meanwhile you lay completely bare on your back, legs open for him to do whatever he wants. There’s a tinge of insulting truth to his words as he continues to pleasure you. He moves his hand faster. Every time he pulls his hand out and back in again, it brushes roughly against your clit. Now when his fingers are fully in, he’s taking a moment to curl them before he straightens them and pulls them out once more. The pleasure is so intense. He truly has learned every weak spot... 

You feel so hot, like you're burning up inside. You can’t help but moan and whine out pathetic little sounds while Ibara works you harder and harder. The pressure on your clit and the fingers in your cunt being exactly what you need. You can feel your orgasm creeping up on you and you desperately reach out for his free arm. You want him closer to you- No- you need him closer to you. You desperately want to feel the warmth of his body close to yours. To your shock though, all he does is slap your hand away and tsk at you. 

“So close already? You do know we aren’t stopping anytime soon?” He chides. 

Despite implying he wants you to last longer, he doesn’t give you one second to cool off. You would beg for him if you could muster the breath to speak words or the brain to form them in the first place. The pleasure is too good and it’s too hot and the way he feels- 

You let out an embarrassingly loud moan as you finally cum, breathy cries of “Ibara-!” being cut off by pathetic little whines. Every time his thumb brushes your clit it’s a wave of pleasure that makes your stomach tense and every push of his fingers into your cunt makes you feel so whole you can’t help but moan. He works your body so easily, playing with all its sweet spots with no hesitation. He’s also moved his other hand to your hip. The thumb of that hand pushes into the bone there and holds you down every time you thrash into his hand. 

His hands seem to calm their efforts as you ride out the waves and begin to come down again. Until suddenly, he shifts his weight, and his hand slaps your folds once again. You yelp and your legs jump up, but he’s already begun again. He roughly moves your hips upwards and stands in close, once again going for your clit. He slides his wet fingers up from your hole and rubs you with the added lubrication. You’re still oversensitive from having just come and his actions immediately get you going again. 

He looks amused when you let out a long whine. “So easy...” 

Ibara’s rubbing gets more and more passionate and before long you feel yourself caving once again. You thrash your head to the side and he doesn’t stop. You moan out his name and he doesn’t stop. Your hips twitch and all he does is hold you still so he can keep going.  

You’re about to come again when, to your surprise, something slips into your hole. The penetration is the last push you need before you come again. As you look down with hazy eyes you see him finally splitting you open and the visual of it makes you throw your head back and embrace the feeling. It pulses all through your body, starting at your core then reaching all up your spine.  

You once again expect a break, but you also can’t bring yourself to be surprised when he starts immediately thrusting into you. He does a few slow, deep ones, before he feels you fully prepared and starts to truly go at it. 

“How shameful. Do you even see yourself right now?” He degrades you while he starts to speed up. The contrast between you two only grows stronger. The only piece of clothing he has removed is his blazer, having only unzipped and buttoned his pants to bring out his cock. Meanwhile you sit entirely debauched, lower half leaking slick and upper half redder than ever before. 

Ibara smirks at your staring. “Can’t even respond to me anymore I see.” 

You open your mouth to do so, but he cruelly grabs your nipples between his fingers and squeezes, making you only squeak instead. 

“That’s alright.” He rolls the buds and watches you whimper. “Whores don’t need to speak anyways.” 

He pushes your legs further apart and thrusts into you harder, finally fully getting onto the bed. The sound of his hips slapping against yours echoes through the room. The room is full of the scent of sex and the sounds of your copulation.  

Your brain already felt hazy from the orgasms, but his refusal to give you even a second of a break makes your further lose yourself. Right now, you want nothing more than him- whatever it is that he’ll give you. Ibara’s cock in you is so heavy and the pressure is so delicious and his hands that roam wherever they please leave a burning trail of desire in you. You squirm and try to move your hips against him, doing your best to meet his every move even though you’re stuck underneath him.  

He seems amused at your mindless thrusting but if you were more aware... you might’ve even spotted a hint of a scheme in his eyes. Nonetheless, he grants you the pleasure you seek and returns his hand to your clit. He goes back to his old maneuvers. You’re just so weak underneath him... weak to his handling of you and weak to his attitude towards you. So, so naïve.  

Your next orgasm takes you by surprise, you were simply enjoying his movements and suddenly all your muscles feel full of too much energy and the sensation of pleasure courses through your body once again. You squirm against his body, feeling overly sensitive. 

Ibara feels you clench around him and takes the opportunity to push your legs right up to your shoulders. Your weight is suddenly being supported by your upper back and you would recognize this as a mating press if you weren’t so focused on the way he’s fucking you. Your body is still throwing at you pleasure but now it’s electric whipping through you instead of smooth waves. You half-heartedly kick at him from the feeling, but he growls and sturdies his grip on your leg.  

The way you look is so erotic that Ibara would usually commentate on it as he had earlier, but even he can feel himself being lost to pleasure. You alternate between squirming against him and laying back while moaning and whining. You’re entirely brainless in the exact way he had planned for you to be. He’s getting closer and closer to completing his goal and something in the back of his brain is screaming in excitement. 

He pushes your legs further and now your weight is all practically on your shoulders. It makes all the blood in your body rush to your head. He thrusts harder and harder, knowing exactly where this is heading... the point of inevitability where nothing would be able to go back to normal.  

You’re already such a mess underneath him but he can’t help the urge to angle his thrusts upwards and play with your chest once again. You squeal in exactly the way he wants you to. You’re too brainless to think, to protest, to care. All you can think about is the pleasure you’re feeling right now. Ibara’s always been a very generous partner, but today he’s combining everything he’s ever done to you at once. All the sensations going on in your head and body make you think Ibara, Ibara, Ibara-! 

He’s reaching his limit. The adrenaline coursing through him is overwhelming all his senses. A sense of intense excitement at how he’s actually about to do this- actually try to impregnate you- so strong that his face grows into a smile even though he’s panting. He hardly even notices how hard he’s breathing.  

You’re squealing at him and squeezing around him. Your face is outright lewd with its expressions, and he can’t hold back anymore. He pushes in as deeply as he can and grinds there, feeling himself letting go. His balls are firm against you, where they twitch and pump you as full as possible. His own pleasure hits him hard but he does his best to maintain the momentum of his hands. He can’t have you noticing what he’s doing now, he needs you drunk on your own pleasure. 

Right up against your cervix- Your womb, egg, walls- everything gets covered in white as it flows in deep, aided by the mating press. His sperm reaches everywhere it can inside you. The cum fills you up to the point of overflowing. You haven’t had a session together in a while and he’s been holding off until he could see you again. This plan was long in the making, and it's finally coming to fruition, with you hopefully bearing the actual fruit of it.  

As Ibara’s orgasm tapers off he gives a few more half-hearted thrusts, trying to milk the last of his seed out. He looks down in pride at the sight of white seeping out along the sides of where his cock is dipped into your hole.  

Your babbling is dying down and you just cover your face with your arms, completely overwhelmed. You’re almost entirely limp and cock-drunk. Ibara had worked you into another orgasm while he finally completed his own- not that you’d noticed- and now you wanted nothing more than to rest. As he lets down your legs, you easily slide onto your side and curl in on yourself. 

Ibara steps back and looks at his hard work. His cum is now escaping your hole, trickling down the curve of your thighs. The back of them being bright red from how hard his hips had hit them and glistening from the amount of slick that had drooled on them throughout your fucking.  

Even with his carefully tracking your cycle, giving you teas and foods meant to increase your fertility, pushing you into a mating press, there’s still a chance it won’t take now... but the likelihood is that it did. There’s a good chance that in the last few minutes, he had just knocked you up. Your fates and futures might now be more closely intertwined than ever before... 

And the thought of that drives Ibara wild. 

He immediately feels himself growing hard again. He wants it so desperately that everything in him screams to jump on you again. It screams to follow his instincts and mark you as his own, claim you as a mate. You’ve been so kind and trusting and talented- there's no better option than you to carry his spawn. He needs to take this opportunity to secure his heir- 

He pushes your thighs apart and positions him behind you. You’re practically dead weight and all you do is whimper at his touch. 

It might not have taken, but that’s okay. He’ll just have to keep going tonight. Keep fucking you dumb and brainless and pliant for him. Keep coming inside and filling you up with his seed. Keep holding you down and proving himself as a proper mate for you. 

He gathers his cum on his cock, and slides back in, ready to make you take if you haven’t already.

“And up!” Laughed Crew as he tossed your little brother up into the air, Zeppelin laughing loudly as Crew caught him in his arms.

“Again!” he pleaded, Crew doing it once more. “Again, Crew!”

“Sorry little bro but it’s time for bed,” he said, Zepp whining when Crew settled him in his hip. “Come on. I let you stay up late if you promised to go to bed when I said so.”

“Fine,” he groaned, Crew chuckling as he gave you a wave and carried him upstairs. You were still grinning on the couch when he returned ten minutes later.

“What’s that look for, kid?” asked Crew as he plopped down next to you, throwing his arm over your shoulders. You only smirked and pushed him to lay flat on his back, Crew’s eyes darkening when you straddled his hips. 

“I love watching you with my siblings. You’re so good with them,” you murmured, leaning down to kiss him.

“My siblings too,” he whispered, closing his eyes when you gripped his hands, pushing them back by either side of his head. “If that’s okay.”

“My silly boy,” you whispered, kissing under his jaw and near his ear just where he liked it. “What’d I tell you about asking dumb questions?”

“I’m a work in progress,” he grunted out, chuckling lightly. “Don’t be all sweet when you’re on top of me.”

“But it turns me on seeing you all happy and loved by your family,” you teased. You gave his hands a squeeze, rocking your hips down against him.

“Ugh. Fine,” he groaned, snapping his hips up when you ground your knee against him. He whimpered when you did it again. And again. “Fuck Y/N.”

You had your tongue halfway down his throat when you heard another throat clear. Your eyes darted upwards and were met with a pair of smirks.

“That’s my girl,” said your dad with a chuckle as you practically jumped backwards off of Crew. 

“Excuse me but that is my girl,” said your mom. Crew  sat up with his back to them, staring at you with pleading eyes. “Crew, sweetie. Relax. I’d be more concerned if you two weren’t trying to get frisky.”

“Thank you, mother. Honey,” you said, shoving a throw pillow over his crotch and grabbing his hand, dragging the two of you down to your room.

“Make smart choices!” teased your dad.

“We so need our own place again,” you sighed, locking the door shut after the two of you. Crew plopped back in the bed with a tired grin. “What?”

“I’ve kinda liked being here the past month. Your side of the house is pretty private to be fair.” You shrugged, reaching behind yourself to take off your bra, climbing into bed beside him. 

“Yeah but in our own place, I can walk around without a bra on which is a benefit for the both of us,” you said, rolling onto your side. You propped your head up against your hand, Crew smirking as he glanced down at your shirt. “Wouldn’t that be nice?”

“Yes,” he said, trailing a finger over the thin cotton of your shirt. “But isn’t it nice to be around people too?”

You watched him trace his finger down further, stopping at the hem of your shirt, tickling the patch of exposed skin.

“Babe. We’re married. I liked when we had our thing. You and me, figuring it all out.” He frowned, pulling back his hand. He had his head turned towards you, eyes glancing downwards, away from your own. “Crew. This is supposed to be temporary while we figure out where we want to live.”

“I know,” he sighed. “I just…”

“I know, babe,” you whispered, inching closer, wrapping your arms around him. “I promise no matter where we go, whether that’s the same city as them or not, you’re not losing them. You’ll always have them.”

“Thank you,” he mumbled, kissing your forehead. “I do like when you don’t wear a bra though.”

“See? Lot of perks of us having our own place,” you chuckled. “So want to try house hunting again tomorrow?”

“Yeah. By the time we get something lined up it’ll be awhile anyways,” he said, sliding his hand down to your hip. “In the meantime, I can think of a few ways to keep you thoroughly entertained.”

“I bet you can.”

One Week Later

“Relax,” you said to Crew, rubbing his back at the dinner table. You were having a late night drink with your parents and you could tell Crew was having second thoughts about telling them where you’d decided to move.

“We did have one more bottle of that red you like, sweetie,” said your mom, carrying it into the room, cracking it open and pouring a few glasses.

“Thanks,” you said, your dad re-entering with a glass of bourbon in hand. “So we’ve decided on our living situation.”

“Oh you have?” asked your mom. “There’s no rush guys.”

Your dad cleared his throat, giving her a look which surprised you. You’d never gotten a vibe that he had a problem with you and Crew staying there.

“Well there is a slight rush,” said your dad, your parents sharing a look. “Now’s as good a time as any. Mom and I have decided for several reasons that we too would like to move. I want to be somewhere closer to work and these days that means near Toronto for the new show I just signed onto.”

“So the northeast?” you asked, Crew giving you a surprised look. You’d chosen downstate New York as it was close to the city for Crew to get any flight he needed or do work and you had plenty of career opportunities with the business there. Plus he was close to Canada for any work he got there which was just as likely a place as any these days.

“Yeah. Everyone loves seeing real seasons and we think it’ll be a good change. Mom and I have lived in the middle of the country and the west coast so we want to give the east a chance. We’ve been working with a realtor and are going to head out this weekend to view some places if you guys wouldn’t mind watching the gremlins.”

“Of course not,” said Crew, sitting up in his chair. “Where uh, specifically in the northeast?”

They shared a look and smiled. “Not too far from Uncle Jeff and Aunt Hilarie. Same town, maybe a five minute drive. We love it out there whenever we go-”

Crew was beaming, your dad staring at him like he was nuts. “Uh. Crew? What’s going on buddy?”

“That’s where we want to move! Well, close enough, maybe like twenty minutes away, but that’s where we picked cause I have that movie in New York and Y/N has countless options for work,” said Crew, your parents giving you a big smile. 

“You guys are really…” trailed off your mom as you nodded. She shrieked and popped out of her seat, rushing over to hug you.

“That’s amazing,” said your dad, giving Crew a hug and then you. “We had a plan to convince you guys to come to the east coast and everything so you’d at least be close.”

“Well, we may want to crash with you guys until we find our own place,” you said, glancing at Crew. “If that’s cool.”

“Of course,” said your mom. “We’ll figure it all out. Promise.” 

One Month Later

“Oh there’s a little creek behind the house too,” said Crew as you settled in for dinner at your parents' new place in New York. While they’d been busy with moving, you and Crew had focused on trying to find a place of your own nearby. They had a bit more land and open space than either of you were looking for which meant your home search was on the other side of town. But a fifteen minute drive was more than okay with Crew if that meant you got a view of the valley.

“You’ll have to send us the listing,” said your mom, dishing up some food onto your siblings plates. “You guys sure you don’t want to look at the options over here? Our realtor found some really nice places that were smaller. Perfect for just you two.”

“Eh, maybe. I have to be gone for about a month soon and there’s more houses around that side of town. I don’t want Y/N to have to be alone in a big house by herself,” he said. Your dad leaned over to your mom, whispering something in her ear that had her nodding.

“You know the property here is pretty big…we could sell you guys off a parcel of land over the hill…let you build so you’re close but not too close. Y/N’s going to be alone quiet a bit unless she comes with you on projects and once kids come into the picture, that’ll get harder. We know from experience,” said your dad. 

“We need to talk about it. That would definitely mean staying here a bit longer,” you said, Crew shrugging.

“Is that such a terrible thing?” he asked as Zepp shook his shoulder. He smiled and helped your brother cut up his chicken, quickly getting pulled into doing it for Arrow too.

“We’ll look at the land tomorrow,” you said, shoving some food into your mouth. “Oh, I got a job lined up by the way. At least to do promotional work.”

“Oh really? Already in the city?” asked your mom as everyone started to dive into their meals.

“Toronto. It’s only one week,” said Crew, nudging your shoulder. “You didn’t tell them?”

They raised their eyebrows and you smiled. “It’s uh, for a showrunner dad is friends with. I don’t have details but-”

“It’s for my new show,” sighed your dad. “I told him you want to work jobs in the city, not another country.”

“It’s right there,” scoffed Crew. “And it’s only for the promo. It’ll give Y/N and me a chance to see how we do long distance in the short term so we know how to make things work in the future when they get messier.”

“Don’t have good points, child,” said your dad, pointing his fork at Crew. Crew only beamed though, your dad shaking his head. “Alright, alright. You guys have a plan it sounds like. I assume you’re crashing with me then?”

“If my loving father doesn’t mind?” you asked, putting on your best puppy-dog look. He rolled his eyes, your mom tsking him.

“I got a one bedroom lined up already. Don’t complain about sleeping on a pull out couch,” he said, taking an extra large bite of salad. “I was never naked on Supernatural. Why couldn’t you work on that show? First the show with bedroom scenes galore and then this? I swear I’m cursed.”

“Maybe you just like taking your shirt off,” teased your mom. You groaned as they started to playfully tease each other.

“Please tell me that won’t be us,” you mumbled to Crew. He laughed, leaning closer.

“Pretty sure that’s going to be exactly us, kid. I mean, you did pretty much eye fuck me the moment we met. It’s like you wanted to get caught,” he whispered.

“In your dreams, Foxe.”

“Every single one of them,” he said with a wink. You blushed, his hand coming to rest on your thigh. “We don’t have to live so close-”

“I don’t mind. You went too long without a family. I want you to have them nearby.” He pecked a kiss to your lips, your younger siblings groaning. “But we can wait awhile for kids.”

“Agreed,” he chuckled. A voice cleared, your dad shaking his head.

“If y’all are going to make out like it very much looks like, can you do it in private? I’d like to have one moment of peace in my meal,” said your dad.

“Such a diva,” you and your mom said, Crew nearly spitting out his drink when he tried to laugh. 

“Yeah, yeah. Well he’s a diva in training then,” said your dad, nodding at Crew. 

After dinner, your dad pulled him aside out on the patio, your mom bumping your hip while you helped her wash up. “What’s up?”

“Dad’s having a chat with your husband about how to deal with being long distance which you probably will be sometimes. But take our advice and try to go together when you can at this age. You can’t get the time back,” she said. You slowly dried your hands off, watching them out the back window. 

“I know. I’m only doing the promo stuff and then Kripke’s going to help me get in a good set in the city he said. I’ll only be gone a week or so. Crew’s been alone enough in his life. I want him to be able to come home to someone at night or drive down the road and pop in here and hang out for awhile. He’s already decided once we do have kids someday, he’ll only take projects in New York, no matter what so he can be there for us. He can work and I’ll shift into freelance photography and-”

“That’s a nice plan and all,” she laughed. “But it’s gonna change. He’s gonna get a job offer he loves that’s halfway across the country and you’re gonna tell him to go because it makes him so happy. You’ll learn what works best for you both. The only advice I can give is talk. Never stop talking, even the days you’re both exhausted. You are not in his shadow just because he’s famous. Your dreams matter as much as his.”

“He thinks mine matter more actually,” you said, glancing down.

“That’s why we know he’s a good one. He’s a good boy,” she said giving you a hug you happily returned. “Plus it’s such a turn on when a big strong guy is more than willing to be on bottom-”

“Thank you for the thoughtful moment and emotional scarring mother!” you said, quickly walking away. “I’ll try to forget that ever happened!”

You walked outside, Crew as white as a ghost, your dad ruffling your head as he slipped inside. “Honey? You okay?”

“Some things stay between a man and his father-in-law,” mumbled Crew, shaking his head out. “Are you good? I saw you talking to your mom.”

“Yeah, just getting some advice,” you said, wrapping your arms around his waist. “Caught you.”

He chuckled, kissing the top of your head. “I guess you did Mrs. Foxe. Lucky me.”

Kinktober Day 26: Aphrodisiac(I want to touch you everywhere...)

warnings/kinks: smut, aphrodisiac, agedup!characters, canon divergent timeline/AU, unprotected sex word count: 0.8k pairings: Agedup!Tatewaki Kuno x Fem!Reader teaser: “See, I was buying what I thought was an intelligence potion. I didn’t think I needed it necessarily, but one such as myself can’t get too many smarts.” He smirks at his words, making you roll your eyes. taglist: @beneathstarryskies @loki-love @witchofcustom @dreadsuitsamus @pyrofanatic

You always thought Kuno was cute, even if he was pretty stupid and misguided. But things all changed once the two of you entered college. His feelings and goals changed when Akane finally married Ranma. Tatewaki seemed like he understood that he could move on and find someone else just for him. And with the way you were becoming his close friend, he soon realized that not every relationship had to be romantic. Relationships could be platonic.

Or so he thought…

It’s not long before he gets swindled into some stupid deal. Some shady merchant sells him a supposed intelligence potion. Kuno was someone who was often gullible and was easily fooled, but for once he truly wanted to do the right thing. College was a bit more  challenging than he had anticipated, so buying this intelligence potion was just a no brainer.

It’s a Friday night when you receive a frantic phone call from your best friend. He’s panting and trying so desperately to explain the situation, but he’s not able to convey his point correctly. You tell him to sit tight and that you’d be over soon. You figured it must be nothing, given his track record. But you want to give him the benefit of the doubt.

When you arrive at his dorm room, you notice something is off with him. Tatewaki is sweating and he’s on edge. He can barely look you in the eyes, his hands running through his hair nervously.

“See, I was buying what I thought was an intelligence potion. I didn’t think I needed it necessarily, but one such as myself can’t get too many smarts.” He smirks at his words, making you roll your eyes.

“Spit it out, Kuno. What happened?”

Kuno looks around the room, then he makes sure the door is closed properly and locked. Once he faces you again, you seem to notice the issue. His erection is quite obvious through his tight jeans. You aren’t sure how to feel and it puzzles you even more when you feel your heart racing.

“It’s not an intelligence potion at all! I’ve been swindled,” He confesses, a blush on his cheeks.

“Uh…yeah, I can see that.”

Tatewaki sits on the bed, his whole body heating up with every moment that passes. Well, you can’t just leave him here like this. You wonder what the hell you can even do for your best friend. The more you think about it, the more aroused and excited you get. You walk over to him and press your hand on his forehead to feel if he has a fever. Just this small room makes him moan.

“P-please…I hate to beg, but I need your help.”

You climb on top of him, finally giving into your own feelings for him. Kuno is blushing and stuttering before shutting him up with a sweet and passionate kiss. You’re both left breathless when you pull away, and Kuno looks like he’s absolutely on cloud nine.

“It feels really, really, really good when you kiss me like this,”

You don’t need to hear more. You continue to kiss him, and soon Tatewaki is bucking up against you. You can feel his thick erection through his tight jeans, making you even more aroused than you ever thought you could be.

“Silly boy,” you whisper as you begin undoing his belt and unzipping his jeans. “You were swindled. You dumb boy, just wanting to get fucked now, yeah?”

Kuno nods his head, completely delirious with pleasure and lust now that you’re stroking his cock. He can barely think straight. It doesn’t take you long to pick up your pace, making the man under you moan like a whore.

“Do you need my pussy? Huh, Kuno? Need my tight pussy?”

Kuno smiles lustfully, “Need it! Need pussy please!”

You don’t tease him for much longer, instead you get out of your clothes and you straddle him. The look on his face as you lower yourself down onto his cock is so cute. He’s already so fucked out, but you aren’t anywhere near done with him.

You guide his hands to your hips and you begin rocking your body. The feeling of his fat cock brushing up against your sweet spot makes you see stars already. You never thought he’d have such a thick member, but it’s just splitting you in half. You begin moaning and panting as he begins pumping up into you.

“Your pussy’s so good…fuck, I’m gonna cum!”

His eyes cross then roll back into his head as he fucks himself up into you, pumping shot after shot of his thick cum into your slick pussy. And just when you think it’s over, Kuno looks into your eyes and he laughs.

“Not done, just giving you the chance to adjust…”

In one quick movement, he flips you over so he’s on top and your ankles are resting on his shoulders. He’s still got that dopey look on his face, but he seems more confident now.

“Guess I’ll be in charge now…”

Mystictober Day 3

Mystictober 2024 | Day 3: Ending/Prologue

You weren't sure how to feel about the decisions that led you to this strange apartment as your fingers hovered above the keypad. It was far from your smartest moment, but you hadn't been thinking when you decided to hear this guy out, had you?

No.

You hadn't been thinking when you decided to give this weird guy a chance to tell you the truth.

For once in your life, you just decided to give someone the benefit of the doubt, and where it landed you, you thought. You might've been in a ritzy part of town but that didn't mean you were safe. You'd heard plenty of horror stories about someone thinking they were safe only to realize what could go down behind closed doors while neighbors would be none the wiser.

This guy claimed that he didn't know the person who lived in this particular apartment, but there was nothing that could explain why he knew the code to unlock the door. Even if it was listed in the notes of that person's phone, you would think someone would be smart to change their locks after they lost their phone. Even if he was being an honest man, you didn't know why he didn't just say that.

You hesitated.

He wanted you to unlock the door and go inside, but why? Why did he want you to go inside? Was he waiting for you on the other side of the door? Or, was he just someone who waited for someone to fall for the bait while someone else waited to grab their idiot? It didn't make any sense and you didn't know why you thought it made sense when you first got his message on the bus.

Was it too late to turn around?

Could you try and get out of dodge before someone found you like the cat that caught the canary?

You weren't looking at your phone anymore, even though you knew the stranger was waiting for a reply. You stashed it away in your coat pocket and took one long look at the door before sprinting across the hall to return to the elevator. There'd been a couple of residents down in the lobby when you came inside, but you hadn't seen or heard from anyone since then. That wasn't a good thing, was it?

But, if you couldn't hear anyone, that meant that the likelihood of someone waiting for you had to be low. Even if you were tricked by someone, if there wasn't anyone around to grab you, then you didn't have any time to waste. You could go to the police station and hide until you were certain the guy wouldn't come looking for you, you figured. That was what you should've done, but it was never too late to stop yourself, right?

Your heart began to pound in your ears as you pressed the key for the elevator and it felt like forever as you watched the lever tick from the top floor downward. It felt like it was moving slower than usual but it probably wasn't. It was probably your nerves making the world move so much slower than it was for the elevator to not move fast enough. Clicking the button didn't help, but you weren't sure what else would help you, since your brain could only come up with the flight patterns for victims in scary movies.

The elevator stalled on the floor just above yours.

You cursed, tearing away from the elevator in the direction of the stairs you noticed at the other end of the hallway. You tore around that sharp corner and stumbled down the first couple of steps until your body slammed into something hard. You struggled, but it didn't take much for whatever or rather, whoever, you ran into to hold your attempts at flight at bay.

"I'll—I'll scream," you babbled, thinking of anything you could to try to protect yourself. "I'll scream so loud that the entire building will hear me!"

The voice that replied sounded modified and robotic as it taunted you, "Don't you know? I've been watching you from the start. There isn't a soul in this building but you and me. Did you really think I was going to tell you to get away that easily after you failed to do what I told you to do?"

But, the residents you passed before you—

"But, but, there were—"

"They work for me," he sneered as you lifted your head and caught the piercing amusement in his eyes. The lower half of his face was covered but his eyes weren't. They seemed to glow in that darkened stairwell as he laughed in your face. "I thought you were just dumb enough to listen but it seems you found half a brain near the end. I can't let you get away with that."

There was nothing you could do.

It was the end of everything you knew and the start of something out of your control.

Your fate was within his control.

Despite everything, rather than a scream, the only thing you could think to say was: "Was there even a misplaced phone?"

"Nope, only a lost rabbit that needed to come home," his grip on the back of your shirt tightened. "Such a naive rabbit, too. It could've been a good use of bait, but it seems I'll have to find something else to do with my rabbit now."

[geekymeerkat]

Recently I got back into playing Fallout 4 again. Also started watching Harley Quinn, and it got me thinking about how hard it would be to make a Harley Quinn build.

Did a quick search to see if anyone had already done this, and sure enough someone has, but I noticed they gave HQ a 6 in her Intelegence. Don't get me wrong, I get that she is canonically a brilliant person. She graduated valedictorian and was trained in the field of psychoanalysis.

My problem with her being given a 6 in her Intelligence stat, is that the perks you get are more about building Science! gizmos and that just isn't HQ. She's smart but likes to just bash and blow things up. So here is my attempt at making HQ in Fallout 4.

First, her stats will start off as S:4, P:4, E:3, C:1, I:2, A:9, and L:5.

Early on you have access to the baby book that gives you one more stat point, that we'll put in Charisma to bring that up to 2. Likewise, the Perception bobblehead is early enough that we can go ahead and count that as being at 5 instead of 4.

You'll note that Intelegence is only at 2, and the only reason it's that high is that she does have medical training, so we can put perk points into Medic. Nothing else though from that perk line though makes sense for our HQ so no need to have it higher.

But because she is a smart character canonically, we give her the 5 in luck so we can give her Idiot Savant. That skill is specifically described as "You're not stupid! Just... different." and the way she is different is she's fricking bonkers.

Another benefit of having that 5-luck is we get access to Bloody Mess, and you can sure bet however HQ goes about murdering someone she is going to create a bit of a mess.

The 9 in Agility should be obvious as she is an acrobat. We'll want to pick up both Blitz, Moving Target, Action Girl, Sneak, and Ninja from this line. Though keep in mind she is a more in-your-face sort of villain so sneak and ninja are lower priorities.

Endurance is at three because she is chronically immune to toxins and can take a bit of a beating in a fight. So we want things like Toughness, Lead Belly, and Life-Giver. Rad resistance would have been nice but is too far down the Endurance to get early for this build.

Perception is where it's at to give us access to both the Locksmith and the Demolition Expert perks. I see HQ as more the sort to just kick open a door instead of picking the lock, but as the game doesn't give us that option, she needed ways of opening doors that would otherwise get in her way. Likewise, she would not likely spend much time picking the lock of a trunk, and would just smash it open... but again the game doesn't give us that option.

Her Strength of 4 is because her primary weapon of choice is a big old hammer or baseball bat and we want access to both Big Leagues and Blacksmith.

Lastly, that brings us to why we want Charisma to be at two, and that's to give us access to the Black Widow perk. Watch the cartoon, I think you'll agree that she hits men a bit harder with her baseball bat. I'm not even sure I've seen her hit a woman yet with her bat... no wait I can think of one. But only one off the top of my head (mind you I've only just finished watching the first season).

A long-term goal for this character would be to build up her Charisma after getting her core perks so she can access the Intimidate perk. In the cartoon it's actually a plot point early on that people don't really fear her but more fear her association with the Joker. It's only after some time doing her own thing that she builds up her own reputation.

Finally, for equipment, she would go for some sort of blunt melee weapon like a hammer or baseball bat (and with her strength could modify them to be nice and dangerous).

However, in terms of clothes/armor sadly FO4 doesn't give us much in the way of anything that suits a HQ character that well. She wouldn't even likely wear leather armor instead going for some sort of provocative outfit. The only real options that jump out are a Vault Suit or a Baseball uniform.

As for what faction she's going to join? Obviously, she's going to take over Nuka World while siding with the Disciples, but for the main game, she might want to side with the Institute as that is a bit like the Legion of Doom. She would also do the Vault 88 quest line and totally enjoy doing the experiments (perhaps even setting up her own secret base in those caves).

Bifold doors have become a go-to choice for homeowners and designers looking to elevate their living spaces. But what makes them stand out in a crowded market of door options? Leading manufacturers weigh in on the benefits, and here’s why you should consider bifold doors for your next home upgrade.

1. Maximize Space and Functionality

Leading bifold door manufacturers often highlight the space-saving nature of these doors. Unlike traditional doors that swing open, bifold doors fold back neatly to one side, creating more usable space. This makes them ideal for small rooms, narrow hallways, or any area where you want to make the most of your space.

2. Enhance Natural Light and Views

One of the standout features of bifold doors is their ability to let in abundant natural light. The large glass panels offer clear, uninterrupted views of the outdoors, bringing the beauty of nature into your home. Manufacturers note that this design can make your home feel more spacious and connected to the environment outside.

3. Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living

Bifold doors are known for creating a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. Many leading manufacturers emphasize how these doors can transform a home, making it ideal for those who love to entertain, dine outdoors, or enjoy a seamless flow between their living space and garden, patio, or balcony.

4. Durable and Low-Maintenance Materials

High-quality aluminium frames are often used for bifold doors due to their strength and low-maintenance properties. Leading manufacturers emphasize how aluminium resists corrosion and requires minimal upkeep, making it an excellent choice for doors exposed to the elements. The durability of these doors ensures that they last for years, even in demanding weather conditions.

5. Energy Efficiency

Modern bifold doors come with energy-efficient features such as double or triple glazing and thermal breaks within the aluminium frames. Manufacturers are increasingly incorporating these features to help homes stay warm in winter and cool in summer. This energy efficiency can reduce heating and cooling costs, making bifold doors a smart investment for homeowners looking to lower their utility bills.

6. Versatility in Design

Bifold doors offer unmatched design flexibility. Whether you’re going for a contemporary, minimalist style or a more traditional look, leading manufacturers offer a variety of frame finishes and panel configurations to suit your aesthetic preferences. Some even provide custom colours and glass types to match your home’s specific style and requirements.

7. Security Features

Home security is a priority for many, and bifold doors from top manufacturers are designed with this in mind. Look for doors that feature multi-point locking systems, reinforced frames, and anti-lift mechanisms, which provide enhanced security without sacrificing style.

8. Easy to Operate

Bifold doors are not only beautiful—they’re designed to be easy to use. Leading manufacturers focus on creating doors with smooth, effortless operation, thanks to high-quality tracks and hinges. Whether you’re opening them on a warm day to let in the breeze or closing them to keep the elements out, bifold doors provide a user-friendly experience.

9. Increased Property Value

Many experts agree that installing bifold doors can add significant value to your home. Their stylish, modern appearance combined with practical benefits like improved lighting and accessibility can make your home more attractive to potential buyers, should you decide to sell.

10. Environmental Benefits

More manufacturers are adopting sustainable production methods and materials. Aluminium, for example, is a highly recyclable material, making bifold doors an eco-friendly choice for homeowners looking to minimize their carbon footprint.

With all of these advantages, it's clear why bifold doors are becoming an essential feature in modern homes. Leading manufacturers agree that the combination of style, functionality, and performance makes bifold doors a smart choice for homeowners looking to enhance their space.

Top Benefits of Installing a Digital Door Lock in Mohali Homes

Safety is the main thing in smart homes, so replacing a tradition of a key system with a digital security door in Mohali is the most efficient way to have inner peace. With all the extra bonuses it provides it can turn out to be a not only solution of the security problem but also a modern technology wonder for convenience and efficiency that has never existed with locks before. Would you like to come out of your old-school box and see the modest ways of digital door locks?

What is a Digital Door Lock?

A digital door lock in Mohali is a security system without keys and has no mechanical devices involved, instead, it uses electronic methods to secure doors. They operate on various modes, such as through access codes input, biometric identification, smart cards, or NFC technology. Stronger than normal keys, smart locks are what homeowners need for the future.

Surely, let’s see the major reasons for which the Mohali homeowners are urged to install digital door locks.

1. Enhanced Security

Among the biggest reasons why it is advisable to buy a digital door lock in Mohali is the building of safety. Conventional locks are very easy to be picked or cloned, while digital locks are rather secure. They provide technologies like face recognition and keypads that make the security of locks unique. Therefore, authorized individuals are the ones who gain access to your house.

Also, most settings of digital locks are arranged to be automatically locked when the door is closed so no possibility of you forgetting to lock the door exists. Besides, there are also digital lock models coming with anti-burglar features that warn you whenever somebody tries to break in, which makes you fully protected.

2. Convenience and Ease of Use

One major upside feature of electronic locks is their convenience. Having keys when you need them is cumbersome with the usual lock, and if you lose them, the rekeying or the lock replacement can become a costly nightmare. In contrast to conventional locks, with their digital counterpart, you don't even have to use physical keys.

Accessing your home is as easy as entering a PIN code, scanning your fingerprint, or using your smartphone. These multiple access options allow you to choose the most convenient method for you, reducing the chances of getting locked out or losing keys.

3. Remote Access and Control

A mobile app controlled digital lock and home smart integration can be managed remotely and easily. It is secure and convenient. If you are out of the house and several people show up, one tap on your phone will solve all the problems by unlocking the door from a distance. This function is of the particularity of the brisk lifestyle of the inhabitants of Mohali.

Furthermore, several digital locks feature time scheduling and revocation facilities to be accessed remotely. This becomes easy apart from security to handle the entry into the house.

4. Keyless Entry for Greater Peace of Mind

Keyless entry is a disruptor copy for the homeowners. Having a digital door lock in Mohali has now made keys a thing of the past. Whether you are back from a tiring day or have company in the anticipation, it will not take you much time to type in a PIN or use a fingerprint to unlock the door in the simplest and easiest way.

Furthermore, traditional keys are not there, so the hazards of lost or stolen keys can be averted, and your peace of mind can be increased noticeably.

5. Customizable Access and Tracking

In one of the features, it is possible to create unique codes for different people who can each access the property through the same door. Specifically, you may decide to allocate individual access rights to every relative of you or the caregivers to avoid any illegal entry of unauthorized persons (e.g. burglars).

Many models include the possibility of monitoring the entry logs, enabling you to pinpoint everyone who came into your home and the time. This application can be used by parents to supervise the activities of their children and elderly family members in the home as well as service personnel.

6. Stylish and Modern Design

Aside from the security benefits, digital door locks also come with the advantage of achieving the modern look of any house through the provision of various stylish designs in Mohali. They are produced in different finishes and sizes giving the opportunity to each house owner to find the one that is most suitable for them depending on the overall goal.

A sleek digital lock can add a modern touch to your front door, making it not only secure but also an attractive feature of your home’s exterior.

7. Durability and Weather Resistance

The diversity of Mohali’s climate makes it necessary to have a long-lasting and reliable door lock as digital locks suffer from no such problems. Implemented technologies are today able to bear all types of atmospheric disturbances. There are many options for advanced construction that leads to the best rust-resistance and temperature-sensitive operation. Thus, the prevailing conditions of extreme temperatures, rain, or humidity are powerless to electric locks.

Also, real value to digital locks is that they are usually unchallenged to use and have to be replaced, unlike the traditional locks that are usually rusted or jammed especially when they are exposed to the elements. Digital locks have some lasting advantages; the best of which is their ability to give consistent performance throughout.

8. Affordable and Cost-Effective

The protection of your home through putting in digital door locks is an economical expenditure. Although traditional locks may cost less to purchase, the initial cost of digital locks is often much higher, however, the latter locks are cheaper in the long run. It is not worth the effort to think of losing keys or rekeying. On the contrary, modern homeowners appreciate the fact that many models are designed to be easily installed.

The extra safety plus the time and effort saved through the use of digital locks are unquestionably the most meaningful benefits to homeowners who want to keep their homes more secure.

Why a Winning Resume is Essential

Your resume serves as a marketing tool to showcase your qualifications to potential employers. In many cases, it’s the first thing they’ll see, so it’s important that it leaves a positive and lasting impression. A winning resume format PDF can help you achieve that.

An effective resume is more than just a list of jobs you’ve held; it’s a concise summary of your career achievements, skills, and goals. By tailoring your resume to fit the position you're applying for, you can stand out from the competition and catch the employer’s eye.

Key Benefits:

Improved Job Search Results: A polished resume increases your chances of being called for an interview.

Professionalism: A well-structured, professional-looking resume shows that you take your career seriously.

The Benefits of Using a Resume Format PDF

In today’s digital world, a resume format PDF offers several advantages over other formats like Word documents. Here are some reasons why using a PDF resume template is a smart choice:

1. Universal Compatibility

Most employers and recruitment software can easily open PDF files. Unlike Word documents, which can sometimes have formatting issues when opened on different devices or programs, PDFs preserve your formatting across all platforms.

2. Professional Appearance

A resume format in PDF ensures that your layout, fonts, and design will look exactly as intended. This creates a professional, polished look that can help you stand out from others.

3. Security

PDFs are more secure compared to other document types. Once your resume is finalized, you can lock it and prevent others from making unauthorized changes.

4. Easy to Share

Whether you’re submitting your resume via email or uploading it to a job portal, PDFs are the preferred file format. They are easy to attach and don't take up much space.

5. Printable Format

Hiring managers often print resumes for review, and PDF resumes retain their quality and formatting in print, ensuring your resume always looks sharp.

Key Elements of a Winning Resume

A winning resume format PDF is only effective if it contains the right components. A resume should not only present your experience, but also highlight your skills, qualifications, and strengths in a concise and compelling way. Here's what you need to include:

1. Contact Information

At the top of your resume, include your full name, phone number, email address, and LinkedIn profile or personal website (if applicable).

2. Professional Summary or Objective

This section is a brief introduction to who you are and what you’re seeking in your next role. It should highlight your top skills, experience, and what you hope to achieve in your career.

Example: “Dynamic marketing professional with 5+ years of experience in digital marketing, social media strategy, and content creation. Seeking a challenging role in a fast-paced marketing agency to leverage my expertise in growing brand visibility and engagement.”

3. Skills

List both technical and soft skills that are relevant to the position. Be sure to focus on those that are in demand for the job you’re applying for.

4. Work Experience

List your previous jobs in reverse chronological order (most recent job first). For each position, include the company name, your job title, and the dates you worked there. Also, provide a brief description of your key responsibilities and accomplishments.

5. Education

Include your educational background, starting with the most recent degree or certification. Include the school name, degree earned, and graduation date.

6. Additional Sections

You can include other sections such as certifications, volunteer work, awards, or languages spoken. These additional sections can make you stand out and show that you bring something extra to the table.

How to Choose the Right Resume Format PDF

When choosing a resume format PDF, it’s essential to select one that matches your experience level, industry, and personal style. There are several types of resume formats to consider:

1. Chronological Resume

This is the most common resume format. It focuses on your work history and lists your most recent job first. If you have a solid and steady career progression, this format is ideal.

2. Functional Resume

If you are changing careers or have gaps in your employment, a functional resume focuses on your skills and achievements rather than your job history.

3. Combination Resume

As the name suggests, a combination resume combines both functional and chronological formats. It allows you to showcase your skills while also providing a chronological work history.

4. Targeted Resume

A targeted resume is tailored specifically for a particular job. It emphasizes the skills and experience that are most relevant to the job description.

Choose a format that highlights your strengths and aligns with the industry standards. For example, creative fields like graphic design may benefit from a more visually appealing resume, while corporate roles typically require a more traditional format.

Step-by-Step Guide: Creating Your Resume with a PDF Template

Creating a winning resume format PDF is easy if you follow these steps:

Step 1: Choose a Template

Select a PDF resume template that suits your style and the industry you’re applying to. Look for a design that is clean, modern, and easy to read.

Step 2: Fill in Your Details

Once you’ve chosen a template, start filling in your contact information, professional summary, work experience, skills, and education. Be sure to customize it for each job you’re applying for.

Step 3: Keep It Concise

Avoid unnecessary details and aim to keep your resume under two pages. Be selective in the information you include to keep it relevant and impactful.

Step 4: Proofread and Edit

Before finalizing your resume, proofread it for any typos, grammatical errors, or formatting issues. A polished resume shows professionalism and attention to detail.

Step 5: Save as PDF

Once your resume is complete, save it as a PDF to ensure that the formatting remains intact. This will also make it easier to share with potential employers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid in Your Resume

Even the best resume format can be ineffective if it's filled with errors or fails to highlight your strengths. Here are some common mistakes to avoid:

1. Spelling and Grammar Errors

Mistakes in your resume can be a red flag for employers. Always proofread before submitting.

2. Using an Unprofessional Email Address

Your email address should look professional. Avoid using informal or outdated addresses like “cooldude123@yahoo.com.”

3. Being Too Vague

Your resume should clearly state your accomplishments, skills, and goals. Avoid vague descriptions and be specific about your achievements.

4. Including Irrelevant Information

Don’t add personal details like your age, marital status, or hobbies unless they are relevant to the job.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I Use a Free Resume Template?

Yes, there are many free resume templates available online. Just be sure to customize the template to make it your own and relevant to the job you're applying for.

2. How Long Should My Resume Be?

The Role of High-Quality Doors in Home Security

When it comes to home security, doors are often the first line of defense. While we invest in alarm systems and cameras, it's easy to overlook the importance of the door itself. Yet, a strong, high-quality door can make all the difference in keeping your home and family safe. Let’s explore why high-quality doors matter and why My City Windows in Petersburg, FL, is an excellent choice for your door service needs.

The Foundation of Home Security

Think about it: your door is one of the most used parts of your home. It’s the barrier that separates you from the outside world. A flimsy or poorly made door not only diminishes your home’s security but can also be a target for intruders. High-quality doors, on the other hand, are designed to be robust and resistant to forced entry.

The materials used in high-quality doors, such as solid wood, fiberglass, or reinforced steel, offer superior strength. They are often paired with advanced locking mechanisms, like deadbolts or smart locks, to ensure maximum protection. These features act as a deterrent to potential intruders, who are more likely to target homes with weaker entry points.

Durability and Long-Term Value

Another important factor to consider is durability. A high-quality door is built to last. It can withstand harsh weather conditions, from Florida’s intense sun to heavy rainstorms, without warping, cracking, or weakening over time. This longevity not only protects your home but also saves you money in the long run. Cheaper doors might need frequent repairs or replacements, whereas a top-tier door can provide years of reliable service.

Energy Efficiency and Noise Reduction

Beyond security, high-quality doors offer additional benefits that enhance your comfort and peace of mind. Many modern doors are designed with energy efficiency in mind, featuring proper insulation to keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This can significantly reduce your energy bills—an added bonus!

Moreover, these doors often excel at reducing noise from the outside. Whether you live on a busy street or simply value your quiet time, a well-constructed door can create a more tranquil living environment.

Style Meets Security

Let’s not forget aesthetics. High-quality doors come in a variety of styles, finishes, and colors to complement your home’s design. You don’t have to sacrifice style for security. Whether you prefer a classic wooden door or a sleek, modern design, there’s an option that combines beauty with functionality.

Why Choose My City Windows in Petersburg, FL?

Top 5 Reasons to Update Your Commercial Doors

Upgrading your commercial doors is more than a cosmetic change—it can enhance security, energy efficiency, and your business's overall appearance. Aluminium commercial doors are known for their strength, versatility, and modern design, are an excellent investment for businesses of all types. Here are the top five reasons why updating to aluminium commercial doors is a smart decision.

1. Improved Security

Security is paramount for any business, and outdated doors can be a weak point. Aluminium commercial doors offer advanced security features, including multi-point locking systems, anti-snap locks, and anti-panic mechanisms for emergency exits. Integral external beading with a 22mm glazing height further enhances protection by making it more difficult to remove glass panels. By upgrading to aluminium doors, you reinforce your business’s defenses against unauthorized access and potential break-ins.

2. Enhanced Energy Efficiency

Modern aluminium doors are designed with thermal breaks and superior insulation to reduce heat loss, making them an energy-efficient option. In environments where temperature control is essential, these doors help maintain a comfortable indoor climate, lower energy consumption, and reduce heating and cooling costs. Investing in energy-efficient doors can significantly improve your building’s sustainability and operating expenses.

3. Increased Durability

High-traffic commercial spaces require doors that can withstand heavy use without frequent repairs. Aluminium is naturally resistant to corrosion, rust, and weathering, making it ideal for businesses exposed to varying climates. Unlike other materials, aluminium retains its structural integrity without warping or cracking, ensuring long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance. This durability makes aluminium doors a cost-effective choice for long-term use.

4. Modern and Customizable Design

First impressions matter, and well-designed doors contribute to your business’s overall image. Aluminium doors offer sleek, modern aesthetics and a wide range of customization options. You can choose from various finishes, colours, and glazing styles to align with your branding and architectural preferences. Glass panels framed by aluminium provide a professional, contemporary look while enhancing natural light in interior spaces.

5. Compliance with Safety Standards

Safety regulations and building codes evolve over time, and older doors may not meet current standards. Aluminium commercial doors are manufactured to comply with modern safety requirements, including fire resistance and accessibility features. By upgrading, you ensure that your business is not only safe for employees and customers but also compliant with relevant regulations, reducing potential liabilities.

Conclusion

Updating to durable commercial doors offers significant benefits in terms of security, energy efficiency, durability, design, and safety compliance. Whether you're renovating an existing property or building new commercial space, choosing aluminium doors is a wise investment that enhances functionality and adds value to your business. Make the switch today to experience these advantages firsthand.
