#collar x malice writing

[onyourowndaisymae]

how the collar x malice boys would react to you kissing all over their face!

cw/tags: established relationship, pure fluff, all that fun shit. mild suggestive content warning, but nowhere near explicit.

mineo enomoto:

flips out in the funniest way possible. his face is beet red, palms sweaty, as he loudly panics about you springing the surprise attack on him. tries to do the same thing to you but can't work up the nerve to do something so affectionate. he thinks it was really cute-- he doesn't tell you this directly, but at this point every thought that crosses his mind he's saying, so you find out anyways. in the end you have to comfort him about the whole thing. later remarks how that was something in his '100 Heart-Jerking Love Confessions' book he'd always wanted to try. promises that he'll surprise you with something even more cute and romantic next time.

takeru sasazuka:

immediately tenses up and calls you an idiot, trying to dodge the remainder of your kisses. if he manages to get away from you he immediately looks away so you can't see the heat rising to his cheeks. if he doesn't, he's protesting and tossing out insults as you laugh and kiss him all over. the moment he recovers, though, you lose. now he's the one teasing you. careful with this one. keep pushing him and he's gonna jump you. best cancel any plans you had for the rest of the day, because you're not going anywhere.

kei okazaki:

laughs, savoring the sweet gesture. he pulls you into a tight hug. pouts about you surprising him like that-- that's cheating! he buries his head in your neck and starts mumbling about how unfair it is that you can do that but he's not allowed to surprise you with kisses all over. he quickly reminds you *why* he's not allowed to have free reign with his kisses as he starts attacking your neck, nipping at the fragile skin and attempting to mark you until you squirm enough for him to stop. promises to get you back later... and you are absolutely certain he won't forget. makes a habit of paying you back several times over.

kageyuki shiraishi:

freezes, blinking for several moments as he tries to process what just happened. then he laughs, calls the affectionate gesture cute. he flips it on you by teasing you without mercy. what was that all about? are you so in love with him that you can't help but shower him in affection? in all honesty, he's pretty flustered by it. a gesture like that was so pure, so wholesome that it made him feel squishy and vulnerable inside. but he's supposed to be calm and aloof like always, he thinks, so he focuses his energy on teasing you. expect this incident to be brought up for months to come.

aiji yanagi:

this old man goes red pretty quick. he stares in disbelief for a few moments before bashfully hiding his face behind his hand. he shouldn't be getting this embarrassed over a few kisses, not at his age, but you just do things to him. you make him feel young and stupid again. it takes him a minute to finally look you in the eye, but he eventually returns your affections with a sweet kiss and a warning not to mess with him like that, or he'll have to return the favor. push your luck any further and enomoto's going to have to find somewhere else to stay for the night.

BONUS:

hideaki yoshinari:

this man's brain does a full system reboot the moment you kiss him like that. him...? really? it makes him feel like some dashing protagonist at the end of a romantic comedy. once his brain restarts he's doing the same to you. forehead, nose, jaw, cheeks, and eventually your lips-- he leaves no area neglected. you just make him so happy. by the end you guys are romping around like excitable puppies, showing each other in all the affection you can manage.

[my-current-obsession]

I decided to post a tier list of my thoughts of all the routes in various otomes that I’ve played. I was inspired to do this because I just finished Norn9, and while I’ll admit that upon finishing the game I have SEVERAL issues with the story as a whole and a few routes in particular, I did love Akito and Heishi enough to add them to my favorite routes of all time, and I’ll definitely return to the game every now and then just to replay those two, if nothing else. Looking forward to the fandisc, too!

I’d be happy to talk about my feelings in depth for basically any otome or specific route, if you’re curious. My absolute favorites are Code: Realize, Collar x Malice, Taisho x Alice, and Even if Tempest.

[giggly-squiggily]

Trust Nap (Collar x Malice)

*kicks door in* Hey! It's my birthday! (Nov. 13) I'm being utterly self indulgent today and wrote a Collar x Malice fic with my favorite boy to boot! I hope y'all like it! :D

Summary: Ichika is feeling sleepy and Takeru insists she takes a nap with the assurance he'll wake her up. Of course he didn't say how he'd do it though.

Click, click, click.

The sound of Takeru’s keyboard was weirdly melodic. Ichika could easily find herself falling asleep to the sound of those deep clicks as his fingers danced across the buttons, doing whatever cyber security entailed. She never was good with technology- that was more Kazuki’s line of talents.

Thankfully she didn’t need a degree in computer science to enjoy the sounds of one. Leaning into her hands, she gave up on the book she was attempting to read and just enjoyed the asmr-like noise Takeru produced. It was so soothing. She could almost…

“Oi, dumb cat. Don’t fall asleep.” His voice shook her from her almost nap, snapping up her attention. “You’ll be up all night again.”

“I- what- I wasn’t falling asleep!” A lame defense. Her cheeks heated up as she glared at her boyfriend, not needing to see his face to know he was smirking. “I was merely resting my eyes. What’s so wrong with that?”

“Funny. I recall a certain woman telling me not to let her fall asleep this morning because her power nap ended up turning into a proper one the other day.” He turned to face her properly now, grinning at her defeated pout. “How long were you asleep again? Three hours?”

“T-That was a fluke! A fluke I say!” She cried in defense, feeling even more lame in her defense. Sure- she may have slept the afternoon away. It wasn’t like they had anything going on then. Kazuki and Akito were out having a day, there were no cases to solve. Takeru was working like he was now at his computer, the room smelled good…

“You’re falling asleep now!” He pointed out, snapping her attention up once more. “Maybe you should nap. You didn’t sleep much last night.”

“Who’s fault is that?” She grumbled, blushing fiercely at his snicker. “Shush! Ugh, I can’t stand you!”

“Love you too, poochie.” He gave her a softer expression before turning back to his computer, typing once more. “Take a nap. I’ll wake you up.”

“But..” She wanted to argue, but it was as if his words snatched away her resistance. And she was tired…“Oh, okay. Thirty minutes. That’s how long I’ll sleep. Don’t forget to wake me up.”

Takeru made a humming noise as Ichika got comfortable, folding her hands on her stomach and closing her eyes. The room smelled good today too. The sheets were soft, the air the perfect temperature. She would only..sleep for a little while…

“Sleep tight, poochie.” Takeru’s voice was far from her now, the last comforting words she heard before she slipped into the dream world.

~~~

Takeru let her sleep for an hour. 

He had a few things to finish, and while he had full intentions of waking her up sooner, seeing her face pressed up against his pillows was too cute to disrupt. Even now she was beyond adorable- cheeks flushed and squished against her folded hands, her breathing soft and slow. She was on her side now, hair scattered and legs half curled up, the sheets wrinkled with her turning.

“Guess you only sleep still when I’m with you.” He mused as he got up, coming to sit with her on the bed. “It’s cute- you toss and turn like you’re looking for me.”

She didn’t have a response- not while she was still in dreamland. He reached out, brushing her bangs back with the gentlest of hands. “Come on, dumb cat. Time to get up.”

Like the cat he saw her as, she batted at his touch with a disgruntled expression, burying her face further into the pillow. Takeru had to fight every fiber in his body to not laugh out loud.

“Don’t get fussy with me- you’re the one who told me to wake you up.” He stroked her hair, feeling her relax under his touch as she got comfortable once more. “You’re the one complaining how you’re messing up your sleep schedule these days.” He let his hand trail, dragging it gently down her arm and back up again. “Don’t make me break out my go-to.”

Ichika didn’t wake up. She carried on sleeping as if she couldn’t hear him. She was such a deep sleeper- when she was comfortable, it was near impossible to wake her up. Takeru sighed, shaking his head. “Alright- remember that you made me do this.”

Crawling in the bed so he was directly behind her, he reached out and gently traced her arm once more, his touch extra light. He felt her tense some beneath it- if she weren’t wearing long sleeves, he figured she’d be in goosebumps.

Good. He wanted to ease her into it before going for the kill.

“You know, you really are lucky to have me.” He chided, daring to let his hand travel higher and along her shoulders. “Give you one day off and you'll forget how to wake yourself up. It’s almost like you rely on me for everything.” He tapped along her neck, feeling her tense more. Her lips quivered into a sleep smile at his touch. “Not that I necessarily mind it, though.”

He carried on his gentle passes a few more times before switching to her back, using his index finger to draw random lines and shapes against it. Still asleep, but soft giggles were starting to rise out of her.

“Ah, having a funny dream? Wonder what it’s about.” He focused his efforts around the center of her back, a spot he knew was ticklish. She squirmed against him, the first real movement she made as her giggles grew. “Wake up and tell me about it.”

She buried her face further into the pillow, her arms hugging it tightly as she adjusted herself closer to him. Takeru decided the time had come.

“Okay. Time to wake up.” He leaned down to kiss her cheek, worming his arms around her and pressing her back into his chest. He took a moment to enjoy this position, breathing in her shampoo and relishing the warmth she brought him.

Then…he attacked.

“...EehhehehahahhAHHHH!” Ichika let out a scream upon waking, her laughter quickly taking over as his fingers danced along her sides and stomach. “Geheahhahah! Ahehahaaahha! Ehehehehek, wahhahahait! No tihihiihckling! Aheahahahhaha!”

“Huh? Whatcha say, poochie?” Takeru growled in her neck, grinning like the gremlin he was as she carried on screaming through her laughter. “You told me to wake you up. You didn’t say how to.”

“EheheheheheEEE! Thahahahkeru, yoohohohu sohohon of a- ghehaahhahaha nohohoohohoho!” Her squeals increased when he grabbed her hips, pressing his thumbs into the spots he knew tickled like crazy. “Iihihih’m awhhahhahake! Aheahhaha- I’m AHWHAHAHKE!”

“Are you sure?” He dragged out dastardly slow circles, making her thrash in his arms. “Are you really up? Are you?”

“Yehehehehehehse! YheheahahhAHHAHA!” His fingers dug into her stomach once more, making her flail. A few twists later, she was facing him, grabbing at his hands and intertwining their fingers. “Yehehehs! Yes! Yes, I’m awhahke!”

“Good.” Takeru leaned forward, kissing her. “Good morning.”

Ichika closed her eyes, taking greedy breaths as she composed herself through her giggles. When she could breathe again without laughing, she caught his eye with a small smile. “You woke me up.”

“So I did.”

“You didn’t actually keep to the thirty minutes did you?”

“No I did not.”

“Takeru-”

“An hour nap isn’t gonna ruin your sleep cycle.” He pointed out before she could say more, silencing her complaints with another kiss. “Besides, why would I want to wake you up while you’re asleep in my bed? I like smelling you on my pillow.”

“Oh you.” She rolled her eyes, but her blush and smile told him she was pleased. His own face felt a little warm at the confession, but he didn’t care at the moment. “I do feel better though. That was a good power nap.”

“Aren’t power naps only like- ten minutes? Or are you going by the Hoshino household definition?”

“Don’t make me tickle you.” She skittered up his ribs to reinstate her threat, smiling when he squirmed back some. Pulling him closer to her, she tucked her head beneath his chin and curled her fingers into his shirt, intertwining their legs. “Now we can cuddle.”

“Greedy much? First you demand me to wake you up and now you want to cuddle me.” Takeru didn’t fight though, if anything he seemed to settle in. “Fine, but if I fall asleep, you have to wake me up.”

“Don’t worry.” She grinned at him, dragging a finger against the back of his ribs and making him tense up. “I know just what to do.”

Thanks for reading!

I found out about a Pillowfort-specific blog post format called blanket boxes, and now, I'm doing a blanket box for the first time!  Hooray!  This is the Visual Novel Blanket Box by babycarrot! Figured I'd also share it on Tumblr too, some of y'all might appreciate this.

PF link: here.

🎮📖 What's a blanket box?

A blanket box is a post (the box) containing a set of questions or prompts (blankets) that you can answer to help build your Fort and introduce yourself and your interests or projects to others. Make your own post, copy the questions/prompts into it and answer them. Each blanket box has its own unique theme and questions/prompts to answer. 

You can find more blanket boxes in the BlanketBoxBox community.

🎮📖 What's this blanket box's rules? (hint: they're way more like guidelines!)

as with all blanket boxes, feel free to interpret these questions however you’d like, skip questions, and elaborate as much or as little as you want :)

tag your answers with ‘visual novel blanket box’ and repost/link to this post so others can find it!

🎮📖 The prompts

1. What genre of visual novel do you usually play?

Romance/Otome games are the ones I play most often, I find.

2. What was your first (or one of your first) visual novel(s)?

I don't think it was the first, but it was definitely one of the first: Hierofanía @sillyraccoonknight .  I loved this game SO MUCH when I was a young teenager; I even took the time to chart out every single possible branching path on a piece of paper, marking all of the different routes and endings.  I played the game repeatedly in order to complete this; I didn't use a walkthrough or anything, as I recall.

3. What was the last visual novel you played?

AFTERLIFE by Chris Logsdon.  Go play it, it's very short and very good.

4. Has a visual novel had a lasting impact on you?

The first VN in the Code:Realize series got me into otome games, which was impactful for me.  Heirofania was VERY impactful to me, as it was one of the games that made me want to make visual novels, and led me on my game development path.

5. Gush about your favorite visual novel! NOW!!

Blooming Panic is so good omggggg.  It's rare for me to like all of the love interests, but that's definitely the case here.  I haven't played the Full Bloom Edition yet so idk about xyx, but I'm sure he's wonderful. <3

6. If you could give a visual novel character a kiss/hug, who would it be and why?

I'd give Takeru Sasazuka from Collar X Malice a big big hug, that's my husbando and I love him.

7. How would your favorite character react if they suddenly turned into a worm?

If Takeru turned into a worm he would be PISSED.  He prides himself on his hacking abilities, and how can you type on a keyboard to hack if you're a worm?!  On the bright side, he loves sweets, especially donuts, and you can get a lot more out of a donut when you're teeny-tiny.

8. Is there a character that you reaaaallly relate to?

I really like Grayson from Lost And Found--he has special interests, he's trying to be successful in a creative field, he has homophobic parents who he wants to like him despite them not liking his identity. . . He's just like me for real lmao.

9. A character that you dislike?

No one came to mind!  Maybe the villain of Collar X Malice?  Talking about that would be spoilery though, so I won't.

10. Do you have a VN you’ve been meaning to play, but just haven’t?

So many lmao.  I literally have a whole collection on itch.io that's mostly VNs I either haven't played yet, or have only played the demos/old builds of, not the final versions.

11. Have you made any fan content for a VN?

Yeah, I helped make a Blooming Panic fangame, Coffee With Quest!  I also have written multiple fanfics for many visual novels.

[take-ya-to-the-ghey-bar]

the struggle of wanting to pick up a game you've been meaning to replay for a hot minute-- yet also not quite wanting to do that, because you just know it's gonna suck up all your focus for at least the rest of the day-- (if not the coming week or so, depending on how much i wanna play lmao)

@fluffruaryprompts

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You wake up in the middle of the afternoon not realizing you were so tired after a long day at work. Your boyfriend Kei didn't help much either he is always wanting to snuggle you when you get home from work and of course if you two fall asleep he is even happier. This was one of those days where you were super stressed and work was overly hectic however when you get home to calm you he pulled you on to the couch and snuggled you. Kei gives the best hugs though they are like a warm blanket wrapped around you. He always is bringing new pillows over to, your hallway closet has so many pillows in it now because he is always testing them out.

You look over at him and he is still peacefully sleeping so you get up and decide to get supper ready for the evening. You both have such tough jobs somedays all you get with each other is a nice supper and sleeping snuggled up together then back to the job again. Life is busy with you two however Kei spends most his time at your apartment these days so he knows he will at least have some time with you. He isn't the best helping when it comes to things around the house though. You learned awhile back that he is horrible at washing clothes they always end up not clean, shrunk, or dyed off colors than what they started with. His vacuuming skills there is a lack there of he is quiet scared of the noise and after a horror story about letting a robot vac escape his home you felt getting one of those with him around was useless.

People like to call him stupid but this sweet man likes to surprise you with flowers, run you bubble baths, snuggle you anywhere, hold you in the kitchen while you cook for him, cover you in kisses and more. He really just needs people to show him how to do things but make them fun to learn because if not he would take on his favorite past time....sleep. When you get off work he is always there to walk you home and he has no issue holding your hand and showing affection in public, this is something most men have issues with. He is also very good at his job and his loyalty is just as strong as yours. Having him in your life you knew you found the perfect soulmate so you can be cozy and soft in his arms the rest of your life.

Your evening consists of bubble baths usually with him joining you which always makes such a mess. Its like having a big kid around sometimes but you wouldn't want it any other way. Your typical day with him is uneventful and mundane however he always makes you feel happy and comfortable. All his embraces are calming almost like a art the way he makes you feel loved and wanted. Tonight you decided your going to surprise him though, most times you two fall asleep on the couch together but your surprise is going to floor him. As he wakes up and cuddles you in the kitchen like usual he whispers softly in your ear "I love you sweetheart." You smile kissing the side of his mouth since he is in such a odd position. You finish up cooking some home made goodies that he loves and sit down for a quiet meal.

Looking up across the table your eyes meet. "My love, I want you to sleep in the bed with me tonight." He looks up with a soft grin on his face like a happy puppy thats been giving doggy snacks. He was so excited he wasted no time jumping up picking you up and swinging you around in your arms. He was ecstatic however the best part was when you added a small box in front of him on the table once you two were sat back down. He shook it and sniffed it like a child would. He opened the box seeing a key inside, as he looked at it curiously before he perked up the moment you started to speak. "Thats your very own key to this apartment, almost like we live together." The grin that came across his face was pure precious you could tell it meant so much to him to be this close to you, and feel so valued with love for you.

Surprisingly enough to most people they have no idea that he is pretty old fashioned when it comes to taking care of his woman. This would be the first time he would be in your bed after dating a few months now. Sure you have slept together on the couch but that is way different. You coasted through the night a movie curled up on the couch together as well as a bubble bath he poured for you. It was time for sleep he was already in bed ready to sleep when you walked in. He was wearing a casual set of pants and top not really pajamas but would suffice as a pair to sleep in anyways. His eyes met yours as you come into the room with a comfy pair of pajamas however still more revealing than his. You could see his mouth almost drop as he took in the sight.

You climbed in bed beside him a bit nervous to actually lay in bed in his arms, what could it lead to, you question yourself how far you were willing to let it go. No sooner than you went to lay back he was behind you pulling you into him. Your back against his chest as his strong arms envelop around your midsection as he whispered with a low growl "You will never sleep alone again." His statement was cute and you couldn't help but giggle to his declaration. You snuggle down in his calm embrace and welcome slumber with his safety that makes you feel loved and cherished. You close your eyes as you hear his breathing soften and slow down, you know he is already almost asleep. As you whisper a soft vow of your own... "You will always have my heart, I pinky swear on it," His grin surfaces across his face as you both drift off to dreams happy and content.

Hi!!

Hello and welcome to Butterfly Scribbles!

This blog is a space where we can talk about things that we’re passionate about, be it Books, Movies and series/anime/Kdrama, Otome Games, music/Kpop and a lot more!

This is my personal blog where I’ll be mainly focusing on reviews of the different topics I mentioned above, reviews of Books, Movies and so on. I will be consuming different types of media I like and giving you guys my honest opinions about them, in a constructive manner and a subjective approach.

I will also be creating main masterlists of the different topics I will be treating in this blog, Hopefully there will be everything for everyone!

I've always wanted to write and express my thoughts and feelings about different things I love, so this would be my humble approach on the subject!

With all that being said I’m really hoping everyone would enjoy my content and join the discussions that I’m going to start here, and I'm really excited to give it my best!

Love, 🦋

[doctor-bus]

Playing Code Realize and while I'm sure I will come to love it ;w; I miss the Bustafellows characters and their amazing found family dynamic

[otometrashqueen]

I wasn’t ready for all feels I felt at the end of Shiraishi’s route 😭 I am a sucker for LI that is secretly with the bad guys but risks it all for me. Also, the LI that will kill for me *chef’s kiss* I didn’t think Shiraishi would top Kei’s route, but prove me wrong again!

I also adored the tragic ending for Shiraishi, I love me a dystopian apocalypse. The master and pet dynamic for them is so tragic but also so delicious, that CG is a contender to be my favorite Tragic Love one, but I haven’t done all the tragic ends yet bc my heart is weak 😆

[keiaoi811]

You are like brother to me

My scenario and headcanons for my crossover au:

Jouno and Okazaki meeting as a kids, on spring break. Spending time on the countryside, that Jouno family have a cottage there.

---

Trying to find a peace in shadows which tall, greens, garden walls was sending, Jouno rest on a small bench with a book. Focused on every word, while a warm breeze ruffles his white locks. Jouno was in his own wonderland when suddenly, an intruder interrupted his idyll.

A soft lick, caress the boy lips, who immediately jumped away in disgust.

-"What was that?!" Jouno yelled harshly, while his hands was rubbing over his mouth to get rid off this unpleasant 'treat'.

-"A kitten. It's so friendly and fluffy, want to hold- Okazaki with cheerful voice, presents his new companion when Jouno cut him on his words.

-"No, thank you." Boy on a bench, replied with frowned expression, but Kei smiled wider, pushing kitten to his direction again. The pets furr, gently tease, young boy skin, making his inner irritation to grow more and more.

One tried to push a small creature away, while another do opposite, making the poor thing feels trapped in this childish banter.

Finally, cat jump off from Okazaki arms, disappearing between flowery bushes.

-"Oh, it runaway." Words quietly left violet eyed boy, meanwhile a sight of relief was heard from another.

Jouno gets up from his, no longer peaceful, place but Okazaki had different plans. Wrapping his fingers around wrist of grumpy friend, Kei drags Saigiku in opposite direction.

-"Hey! Let go of me!!"

-"There a very big tree, around small pond. Let's go and see what we can find there together!"

No matter, how many times Jouno objects, in the end, like some stuff toy, he was dragged everywhere and nowhere by his new 'enemy'.

---

•Okazaki would made a friendship bracelets for him and Jouno. At first, Jouno complaint a lot but he didn't throw it away and keep it, even when he is an adult 🥺

•Okazaki would be taller as a kid from Jouno, which got reversed when they entered the adulthood.

•-"Now i look, like the younger brother. You got so tall Sai."

-"Firstly, i am not your brother. Secondly, it's suits you very well, the same annoyance level."

•Jouno inside feels his ego grow when he discovered, he is the tall one

•They meet as a kids but didn't saw each other for a very long time. By accident, they paths crossed again. Jouno names this day as the "worst day of his life".

•Okazaki view him as family member, no matter what. Trying his best to find time to spend time together, which is not easy. But he is very stubborn and determined.

•Also Tecchou end up, get to know Okazaki, which makes Jouno think if they are not some lost siblings or cousins.

•-"It's impossible that you two have such broken taste buds and totally not related! What was the chance?! I am cursed by gods or something?!?!"

I hope someone will like this silly idea of mine ((ﾐ´ω`ﾐ)) maybe this never gonna happen but they are so dear to me hahah

[onyourowndaisymae]

genuine shoutout to the creators in fandom spaces. there are fandom-related art pieces that have genuinely lingered in my mind for ages. i will scroll back through my likes frequently just to reread a post i saved forever ago because it's that good. fan creation can be a thankless job, especially when you burnout or feel underappreciated, but just know that i genuinely am in awe of every creator's ability to build upon something so loved and create masterpieces that i think about years later

[kayloveanime]

I just… love otome game bad endings so much???

Like yes I love this boy and want him and MC to be happy, but also I want to know how they act when things do not go right.

[giggly-squiggily]

Ohh I'm so sorry 😅 It's my bad for not specifying! It's the teasy and arguably slightly sadistic fox boyo from Collar x Malice? Kageyuki Shiraishi is his full name! I can always come up with something different if you don't know him though lovely ❤️

I'm so glad I could make your night a Lil brighter in any case! 😊

{Puffs are officially CLOSED}

AHH YESH!!! It's been a hot minute since I've written for Collar x Malice! God, I miss them! Sorry for the confusion on my part, friend- I hope you like it!

You knew the second his hand brushed your side you were done for.

“EHE!” Kageyuki looked up at your squeak, blinking a few times at you. “What-”

“Nothing! Nothing I- erm…” You panicked, looking for an excuse and coming up empty. “I’m n-not ticklish!”

Smooth, (Y/N). Real smooth.

Kageyuki stared at you longer, tilting his head curiously at your words. Then that teasy smile of his pulled on his lips, sending shivers down your spine. “My my- so you’re not ticklish? If I were to do this-” He reached out towards the spot he brushed, making you jerk back with a giggle. “...Interesting.”

“S-Shiriashi…” You stammered, stepping back until you felt the cool wall behind you. Your face warmed when he got closer, eyes dancing with curiosity. “Please, you’re wasting your time! I’m n-not-

“You're not ticklish?” He mused, amusement coloring his tone as he brought his fingers to your sides, making you freeze. “You must feel awfully bold to think you can get away with lying to me like that.” He leaned forward until his forehead pressed against yours, leaving you nowhere to run. ��Did you forget I’m a profiler?”

“N-No I-Ah! Ahehahahhaha, Shihihihiriahahahhshi!” You could barely get your next words out before he was pressing into your ribs, drawing slow menacing circles into the sensitive spots. “Pleahhhahhhahase, dohoohohohon’t!”

“Well well, now  what do we have here? You really did try to lie to me.” Kageyuki smirked, drinking in your laughter as you halfheartedly pushed at his arms. “And you’re barely fighting back. Are you enjoying this, (Y/N)?”

“Shuhuhuhuhush! Dohooohn’t sahahhay it like thahahahhat! Ehehhahaha!”

“You didn’t deny it. I must be on the correct path.” Kageyuki brought his hands up higher, making you squeal when he found a bad spot along your upper ribs. “I must learn more. Come now, (Y/N). Tell me everything I want to know.”

[nonsensetime]

He’d almost forgotten how grating your voice was to his ears, how it made his body tense with an emotion he could never quite describe. He turned around slowly, taking you in where you stood leaning casually against a tree. 

The dress you wore was reminiscent of autumn court elegance, fabric cascading around you in rich hues of crimson, gold, and amber, like the vibrant foliage of the season brought to life, sleeves like flickering flames. There was a sense of wrongness in seeing such an elegant form amidst the wild, your commanding presence even more striking than that of your other family members. If he didn't know who you were, he would have been tempted to describe you as something of unparalleled beauty, a vision amidst a forest of wilderness.

But Azriel knew who you were. He knew what you were. 

He had noticed the similarities between you and your brothers quickly, from your mannerisms down to the curve of your lips. You and Eris shared the same snarky smirk– a smirk Az wanted to wipe clean off your faces. You were using it now, holding his gaze with the corners of your lips upturned and amused eyes. 

“You look thrilled to see me,” you said. 

Az did nothing to hide his disdain as he narrowed his eyes at you. “Where is your brother?” 

“Busy,” you responded, absentmindedly running the tips of your fingers along the tree you leaned on. You took a moment to observe the bark before you turned to face Azriel again, a small taunting smile on your lips once more. “I’ll let him know you missed him.”

Azriel held your gaze for a moment, a tick in his jaw as he let out a short exhale. Then, he was turning around to leave, a clear dismissal. A small flicker of anger rose in your body. Quickly, you winnowed in front of him, your sudden appearance setting his shadows into a frenzied dance around him, coalescing into a swirling mass around his neck like a collar of live snakes ready to strike. 

“Don’t be rude,” you said, “I’m here on Eris’ behalf. Give me information to report back to him.”

“Nothing to report,” Azriel said, voice flat. He stared at you for a moment, eyes scanning you. And then he was making another notion to leave, brushing past you with a small shove to your shoulder. You nearly laughed at the action, at how easy he was becoming to rile up— at how much your presence bothered him. 

“You don’t want to stay and chat?” You said over your shoulder. A flutter of triumph spread in your chest when you heard his footsteps come to a halt. You turned to face him, his back still to you, shadows swirling around his body like black flames. “It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other.”

Azriel turned to face you, a small scowl on his beautiful features. “Not long enough.”

You laughed, the sound stroking his body in a way that sent shivers down his spine. You let out a sigh.

“I get bored in Autumn sometimes, you know?”

Briefly, something flickered in Azriel’s hazel eyes, but it faded faster than you could decipher what it meant or where it came from. He titled his head slightly, eyes taking you in fully.

“Not enough cruelty for you?”

“Something like that.”

You both held each other's stares, his icy gaze against your fiery one. He lifted his chin slightly, rolling his shoulders as if to straighten his already stiff posture. You didn’t miss the way his wings extended slightly from their tucked in position, just enough to stand as a warning, as a reminder of who he was— what he was. 

“This is a waste of my time.”

Yet, Azriel made no move to leave— not this time. 

“Because you have such important matters to return to?” You asked with a raised brow, “You said it yourself, nothing to report. So, are there some damsels in distress to be saved? Something to make you feel important?”

You made sure to pay extra attention to when you mocked his previous words, tone dropping slightly deeper to imitate his. Azriel’s eyes narrowed even more, a dark wave of evident anger washing through his face, nostrils flared, jaw clenched. You bit the inside of your cheek to contain your grin. 

You were playing with something dangerous, this you knew. But Azriel was so fun to rile up, so easy to. You understood, now, why your brother seemed to enjoy these meetings so much. You’d assumed Eris was some sort of masochist, somehow finding pleasure in the necessity of being allies with the Night Court, the same people who so commonly disregarded you and your family as evil and cruel— although, they were right to a certain extent. But perhaps Eris had found some sort of entertainment with this affair. 

“Stop talking,” was Azriel’s only reply. 

“Why?”

He took a step forward. You made sure to stay still, to hold his gaze as he peered down at you. 

“Because you’re trying to get a rise out of me,” Azriel responded, his voice cool, “and it will not work.”

“Oh please,” you scoffed. “Play the unphased act all you’d like, we both know its bullshit.”

He said nothing in response, his eyes remaining locked on yours. Azriel’s stare was harder now, colder. A clear warning was written in his features, carved out between his clenched jaw and narrowed eyes: do not fuck with me. 

But you welcomed the challenge. If he wasn’t going to admit it, you were more than willing to prove your point. 

“You put my brother in a chokehold in a public meeting. You have no self-control. You’re just constantly one spark away from igniting.”

Azriel growled. “Your brother deserved it.”

You raised your brow in a small taunt. 

“Because he called your precious Morrigan a slut?”

Whether Azriel wanted to admit it or not, you were very easily tearing at his resolve. He moved quickly, his hand naturally falling to the dagger at his hip. Shadows moved closer to you, but with a swift movement of your fingers, they were met with the spark of a small flame, quickly retracting back into their mass form near Azriel’s shoulders. You winnowed back to your original place, back against the rough tree bark. 

“Careful, Shadowsinger,” you sneered, “You’re forgetting your manners.You didn’t even let me finish.”

Azriel wore a clear scowl now, brows furrowed as he held your gaze from afar, hand still on his weapon. There was something deadly about the way you made him feel, the intensity of those feelings far surpassing any hatred he held for your brothers– Eris, specifically. In truth, the more time Az spent near Lucien, the more he saw him as someone good– and the less similarities he seemed to bear with you, his conniving snake of a sister. You opened your mouth to taunt him once more.

“I don’t agree with my brother,” you said, “Hell, I admire Morrigan for her freedom. I do love a pretty dress. So, I would have called her something else… a liar, perhaps?”

Those words were all it took to light Azriel’s fuse.

Within a blink, he was in front of you, the cold steel of a dagger, Truth-Teller you presumed, pressed against your neck. His wings flared out angrily behind him. Shadows surged around you, a suffocating darkness descending like a shroud, swallowing the sunlight and leaving only a void of darkness. You stared into Azriel's eyes— cold, and angry.

"Shut up," he snarled.

For a moment, a sense of fear flickered deep in your stomach, but you swallowed it down, the flame diminishing before it could properly ignite. Even as his shadows threatened to consume you both whole, you refused to back down, meeting Azriel's gaze with a defiant stare of your own. And then, you grinned. A cruel, wicked gesture that made his blood boil.

“Nice to see you perform without an audience, too.”

Azriel's voice was laden with disdain as he responded, words dripping with venom. "You and your brother are exactly the same."

But instead of flinching at the accusation, you maintained your smirk, unfazed by the blade pressed against your neck. "Which brother? I have quite a few," you countered, your tone teasing, almost playful.

Azriel's grip tightened, images of your family conjuring in his mind. Az could barely remember the names of your other brothers, their features blurring into a blurry mess of fiery auburn and copper. Instead, his mind focused on you– the female before him, under his grip and his dagger, standing next to the two males he despised for different reasons. 

“You can decide,” Azriel finally said, “they’re all equally terrible.”

“I’d say Lucien is a good male,” you laughed bitterly, “I’m willing to bet your sweet Elain would agree.”

A surge of fury rose within him, a deep primal instinct to lash out and silence your taunts once and for all. But even as he bristled with anger, he realized you were right.

He was constantly teetering on the edge, one step away from losing control. It had gotten worse recently, watching everyone around him find their place, their people; Elain growing closer to Lucien, his brothers spending time with their mates. Azriel was frustrated. He was angry. You’d done exactly what he told you wouldn’t happen– gotten a rise out of him. He hated it, hated you, hated himself even more.

Azriel took a deep breath, your heated gaze still on him, eyes narrowed, a small smirk on your lips that he filled him with a burning anger. It wasn’t as if he could kill you, no, he couldn’t even really hurt you. One mark on the Vanserra’s youngest and only daughter would be a mark for war. This was a battle Az couldn't win, indulging your provocations for the mere sake of your entertainment. He needed to calm down. Regain control. 

The shadows around you began to recede and sunlight filtered back into the clearing as Azriel  pushed you away with a snarl. You leaned your head back against the tree as you took a deep breath.

He studied you for a moment before saying,  "You'd think someone as pretentious as you wouldn't need to rely on irritating someone for an ounce of attention." 

There was a subtle shift in your demeanor—a swallowed response, a flicker of vulnerability. His gaze followed the movement down to the column of your throat.

“Pretentious?” 

You gave a bitter laugh.

"Yes, pretentious. All of you Vanserras," Azriel retorted with a bitter edge, “Every single one.”

"That's ironic coming from you. You think we're pretentious?"

Azriel's gaze hardened. "Yes. Cruel, evil, and vile. You think you're better than all of us."

Your mouth widened as you scoffed. And then you let out a laugh of disbelief. 

"Oh my Gods, does it ever get tiring?" you retorted, your voice dripping with sarcasm. "Wallowing in your own self-pity and then using it as a means to hate everyone outside of your incestuous little circle?"

"Do not speak of my family," Azriel snapped.

You smirked. “So you admit your family is incestuous?”

Azriel said nothing, a sudden realization that his anger, once again, had beat him to his rationality, somehow giving you another weapon to use against him.  He clenched his jaw, feeling a simmering heat building in his stomach. 

"You stand in front of me and pretend to be shocked when I call you for what you are?" he countered with a sneer, “Your family isn't quiet about their disdain for my family, for my kind, or for me."

You lifted your chin. “You don’t even like your own kind, Shadowsinger.” 

There was another flare of his nostrils and you knew that you’d gotten him once again. Azriel’s fists clenched at his sides, a sight lost to you as his shadows covered them. You continued as he stayed silent.

“I will admit, my family can be a bit narrow minded. Why would I hate you for the things you can’t control? Where's the fun in that?”   

Again, Azriel remained silent. He knew if he made a move, if he said a word, it would likely be something he regretted, something that would come back to bite him in the ass. 

"I don’t hate you because you’re from the Night Court, or an Illyrian, or a bastard, or whatever it is you tell yourself at night," you continued, your words like a dagger aimed at his pride. "I hate you because you are hot-headed and arrogant. You’ve held a grudge against Eris for something that wasn’t his fault and have utterly screwed Lucien to no end. Your little family is a disease.”

Azriel’s resolve was cracking. He didn’t have enough self-control for this, for you. He’d barely mustered up the diplomacy needed to meet with Eris. 

“Stop talking,” he said through gritted teeth. He felt it again, the flicker of frustration that threatened to engulf him like an unattended flame.

You gave him a withering glare. “Or what, you’ll make me?”

Azriel blinked, his eyes scanning your body instinctively. There was something about the words you spoke, the way you had spoken them, that made his body shiver. A small jolt of electricity passed through his muscles. Unfortunately for him, you caught it as quick as it manifested. Your eyes widened as you let out a dry laugh, forming a small smirk on your lips.

“Oh my gods,” you said, taking a step closer, “I bet you’d like that, wouldn't you? Is that why you’re such an ass today? 

Azriel’s wings twitched behind him. You gave him a mocking pout as you stared up at him. 

“No one to torture, no sweet female to make love to? Poor, powerful, Spymaster.”

Azriel thought for a moment. He thought about the anger boiling in his body, how on edge he’d been, how every little thing had been setting him off. He thought about you, in front of him, a female he despised from previous meetings– loud-mouthed, vicious, and selfish. A female from a family he hated, a family that took things from his family, from him. 

And then he began thinking of how great it would feel to show them how wrong they were about him. To prove to them that they weren’t better than him, that he was just as, if not more, powerful than their damned bloodline.

You had been right again. He was pent up. He hadn’t taken a lover recently, hadn’t fucked anyone since that one almost-night with Elain– where she’d been sweet, sensitive, and gentle. But even before, with the females who’d asked for it rough, told him they could handle it, he hadn’t indulged himself too far. He still respected them. They were still wide-eyed and kind, sweet to a certain extent. He didn’t want to hurt them. They were ladies. Azriel respected ladies. 

“I said stop talking,” Azriel growled. 

There was a tick in his jaw. 

“And I said, make me.”

But you, you weren’t a lady. You weren’t sensitive, sweet, or kind. You were a viper. A snake with beautiful lips and a body he found incredibly inviting— not that he’d ever admit it to anyone. But standing in front of him, that defiant look in your eyes, the pride seeping off you, the smirk on your lips… Azriel felt hungry. He felt ravenous. 

So, he thought for one more moment. And then he was taking a step forward, one that you matched with an equal stepback. 

“Y/n,” Azriel drawled as he continued to take another step. You matched him again, moving back while you glared at him. “Are you not getting enough attention? Is that it?”

Your back hit the tree and you let out a small exhale as Azriel took a final step forward, inches away from you as he stared down with a dark gaze. 

“What the fuck are you talking about?” You bit out. 

“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”

You attempted to regulate your breathing as his eyes drank you in, a clear and unashamed desire painted over his face. 

“Do I look like a fucking mind-reader?”

 Azriel gave a dry chuckle. You were unraveling before him, scrambling for control. “Such a vile mouth for a princess.”

“Fuck you.”

“Is that why you came?” He brought a hand to your chin, roughly tilting your face up to look directly at him. “Do you want to be fucked, Y/n?”

The answer was yes, you did. There was a sickening sense of excitement that ran through your blood, a heat pooling between your thighs. But you wouldn’t admit it. You weren’t going to give him the satisfaction, weren’t about to prove him right. So instead you stayed quiet, pulling your face out of his hands and turning your cheek. 

“I came for intel,” you said through gritted teeth, “in Eris’ place.”

Azriel gave another chuckle, something dark and humorous. His hand trailed to the side of your neck, pushing the hair off your shoulders to expose the line of your collarbone. You swallowed.

“Interesting,” he said. He leaned in, lips against your ear. “Then what is that desire I smell?”

You let out a sharp exhale as he leaned away. Taking a deep breath, you looked at him, biting the inside of your cheek at your body's betrayal. You needed to balance this.

“Maybe its you that needs a good fuck, Shadowsinger. Like I said, you seem real pent up. Noone quite scratching that itch?”

But Azriel no longer seemed angry at your words, instead, he seemed amused– hungry. He was quiet for a second too long, simply staring at you. A sense of irritation prickled at your skin.

“What?” You snapped.

“I can admit that,” Azriel said coolly, “if you can admit something to me.”

“What, are we trading secrets now? I wasn’t aware this was a children's sleepover.”

Azriel didn’t respond. You registered the movement of a dark shadow as it fled from his body, slowly sneaking around your collarbone. You attempted to hit it away, but it quickly slithered back to Azriel, running up his chest to curl around his ear. He smirked. 

“When was the last time someone fucked you, Y/n?”

The air left your lungs as you let out a small gasp. You blinked. Quickly, you regained your composure.

“Excuse me?”

Azriel kept his smirk. “It must be hard getting anyone to touch you when you’re so sheltered by those males you call brothers.” 

He reached out a hand to your bare collarbone, but you caught his wrist in your hand, allowing it to hover in your grip. His eyes slowly trailed up to your face, heavy-lidded and darkened with a sense of attention that made your stomach clench. 

“What the hell are you getting at?” You sneered.

Azriel simply stared at you, the ghost of a smirk still plastered on his lips. His reactions had you gritting your teeth in anger and rubbing your thighs in anticipation at the same time— you hated it.

“Don’t ask questions you know the answers to.”

“You're pathetic,” you spat, “Save your games for a bitch who cares.”

But you still gripped his hand in yours, still felt the heat radiating off his skin. And you made no motion to move. No motion to let him pull back. Azriel didn’t fail to notice this, either. 

“That snarky mouth of yours is going to get you in trouble. But I bet that's why you use it, right?”

Your breathing was heavier now. Azriel’s gaze flickered to where you still gripped his wrist.

“You can fool everyone, Y/n,” he said, “But not me.”

You shouldn’t have enjoyed the way his voice sounded on your skin, shouldn’t have felt a breathlessness filling your body as he spoke to you. But you felt it. And it was a burning, hungry desire that made your chest tighten. This was what you wanted, it was what you needed. 

Azriel was right. The bastard had read you like a book. Your family, your brothers, never let anyone near you for fear of embarrassment– fear of you bringing some sense of shame. But Azriel was right. You wanted it. You craved it. You wanted to forget who you were, to give up the control you always had to wield. 

Before you could overthink it, you loosened your grip on Azriel’s hand and pulled it towards you, situating it on the side of your throat. You let out a small gasp when he quickly wrapped his fingers around the base of your neck. 

And then he was pulling you into him with a deep and angry kiss. All teeth, tongue, and fire, mouths crashing together almost painfully, but neither of you stopped. With every movement of his mouth, of his tongue on yours, a dormant flame deep within you awoke. 

A primal desire surged through Azriel’s veins like wildfire, the scent of you– of your want, of your desire– filling his senses in a way that had his cock throbbing. There was no room for rational thought, only the raw, unbridled passion that engulfed him in a fiery embrace. His hand found its way into your hair, fingers brushing along your scalp as he yanked your hair to expose your neck to him. His lips wandered to your exposed collarbone, giving a harsh suck to the skin near the column of your throat. 

“Is this what you wanted?”

“Shut up,” you responded, reaching your hands out to fumble with his leather clothes. Azriel pulled back slightly, grabbing your wandering hands in his. You let out a sound of protest as he ran sloppy kissing along your neck.

“Oh how i’d love to fuck that foul mouth of yours,” Azriel murmured against your skin, his mouth reaching your ear. “But we’re short on time.” He took your lobe in between his teeth and you let out a small groan.

“I bet all you’ll need is a few minutes– and that's being generous.”

Azriel’s hand gripped at your waist, traveling up your chest to roughly grab your breast through your dress. 

“No wonder you’re so insufferable.” he said, his voice amused as he pulled back, his other hand tugged at your hair once more. “You haven’t been fucked properly.”

You snarled. "Fuck you." 

Azriel grinned.

"Oh, princess, I will.”

And then he was pulling the front of your dress down, exposing your bare breasts before him, nipples peaked in the fresh air. You let out a gasp as a small faint ripping sound traveled to your ears. Before you had a chance to react, Azriel was spinning you around, pulling your back against his chest, one hand bracketing your throat as the other traveled down your stomach, grabbing at the fabric at your dress. 

"But first, you're going to beg me for it,” he breathed into your ear, his voice so low you felt it more than you heard it. His words traveled straight to your core, leaving you dripping with want. Yet, you refused to let the words leave your lips. You gritted your teeth, bristled at the suggestion— pride and defiance warring within you. 

“Like hell I will.”

Azriel made a sound of disapproval, his mouth still running along your ear, “No?” he asked, hand slowly trailing from your throat to your chest, his fingertips leaving goosebumps in their wake. “So you don’t want me to touch you?”

His hand fell over your breast, cupping it in his palm as his thumb brushed over your nipple. You watched as black tendrils of shadow danced around his forearm, meeting where his fingers tweaked your nipple. Their cool gentle touch sent a ripple of sensation through you and your head fell back against him as you let out a small whimper. 

“Stop being a fucking tease.” 

Azriel found that he loved the way you whimpered, loved the tinge of frustration in your voice as he touched you. Here you were, melting into his touch, attempting to avoid admitting in words what your body was showing in actions.

“I asked you to do something.” 

He rolled your nipple between his fingers. You let out a deep exhale, pushing yourself back onto him, grinding into the evident bulge that pressed against you, the thin material of your dress doing nothing to disguise his hardened length. 

“Just fuck me already,” you turned your head to catch his gaze, darkened and pupils blown with lust. “I know you want to.”

You covered his hand in yours, molding his hand into your touch, urging him to grab your breast again– harder, firmer. 

The corners of his lips quirked up. “That doesn’t matter. Beg for it.”

Agonizingly slow, his hands roamed your trembling form, lighting flames of desire that you almost feared would consume you whole. Second by second, you felt yourself losing control. The heat of his touch seared through you, eroding the last crumbs of your resistance until all that remained was a burning need to be filled by him, to succumb to the primal urges coursing through your veins. You wanted him. You needed him. 

“Please,” you whispered, the truth spilling from your lips in a voice so meek you barely recognized it as your own. 

"Please what?"

With a trembling breath, you finally let go of the last shreds of your resistance, your voice coming out in a deep, frustrated plea.  “Please fuck me.”

Azriel's lips curved into a predatory smirk. 

“Good girl,” he said, his voice low and sultry as he pulled away from you. In one movement he was pulling your ass closer to him, forcing your body forward to brace yourself on the tree. In seconds you felt the cool air on your body as Azriel pushed your dress above your hips. Naturally, you felt your body bowing at the sensation. He let out a groan at the sight. 

Then he was spreading your legs, baring you before him, glistening cunt on full display. His rough hands gripped your bare ass. He massaged it for a moment, but the motion was brief, and soon you felt a hard hand land on the fat of your cheek. You let out a small shriek, but it was followed by a low moan as he delivered another smack. Azriel smirked at the sound of it, at the sight of your ass reddening with his handprint. 

“Are you going to fuck me or not?” You managed to grit out as you pushed your ass out further,  “I’m growing bored.”

“Bored?” He ran finger through the wetness that pooled at your core. “Your cunt doesn’t seem to think so.”

You moaned at the feeling, pushing yourself back against his hand.

“Too stubborn to admit anything,” Azriel murmured, “But your body gives you away.” 

Azriel took a step back, your body cold at the loss of contact as he freed himself from the confine of his leather pants, each movement filled with a primal urgency that would’ve made him unsettled— embarrassed even— if he had been in a more rational state of mind. But Azriel wasn’t being rational. All he could think about was you, and staring at your beautiful glistening cunt, all he wanted was to fuck you into oblivion, to let his frustrations out. To tame you like a wild animal— his most tantalizing challenge yet. 

He settled himself behind you and stroked his cock along your folds, allowing it to glide against your core until both of you were slick with your desire. He teased you slowly as he moved up and down your entrance. You pushed against him, urging him inside, inviting him to take you. 

Azriel only laughed darkly at the movements, and you whined in response, frustrated and irritated. 

“Remember this the next time you insult me,” he said, “Remember how you were begging for me to fuck you.” 

Half a breath later, he pushed himself inside you, sheathing himself to the hilt. You exhaled in tandem, your cunt clenching him, pulsing around the stretch of him.  He adjusted his angle and picked up the pace, sending pleasure rising in a wave that you couldn’t hold back, your mouth falling open as he began to take you harder. 

You let your forehead fall against your hands, braced against the rough texture of the tree. You faintly felt the ridges under your palm, but there was no pain, no irritation that you knew you were bound to experience later. All you could truly feel was Azriel deep inside you, stretching you out and using you in a way you hadn’t experienced for a very long time. The lust Azriel felt, the experience of being with you, of claiming you as his, was no longer a desire, no longer a want. It was a need. An animalistic and primal need that he felt deep in his chest. 

Azriel's movements were relentless, each thrust sending ripples of pleasure rippling through your body, clouding your mind in a haze of ecstasy and melting away all coherent thought. There were sounds emitted from your lips, this you knew, but they were incoherent whimpers, quiet murmurs whispered towards the ground as your forehead dug into your hands with every buck of Azriel’s hips.

“You had so much to say earlier, Y/n,”  Azriel said, pulling out until he was barely inside you. He thrusted back in, resuming a hard and brutal pace. 

“Why so quiet now?”

Thrust.

��Did you just need the attitude fucked out of you?”

Thrust.

"What will your brothers think?” he taunted, his grip on your hips bruising in its intensity, “Your father?”

Thrust.

“If only your family only knew what their precious princess was up to. Taking it from the likes of me, like some common pleasure hall whore."

The mention of your family sent a surge of burning shame coursing through your veins, you felt the heat rise to your cheeks, flushing against your exposed skin. But amidst the suffocating shame, there was something else, something primal and insatiable that stirred within you—a hunger born of defiance, of indulging in a forbidden ecstasy. It filled you with a sense of exhilaration that bordered on madness.

Quickly, that spark of defiance ignited within you, mingling with the fiery hunger coursing through your veins, an urge to bite back at him. You craned your head to look over your shoulder, catching his eyes as you let out a moan, taking your lips in between your teeth. 

"Do common whores get you this riled up?" you purred. There was a feigned innocence in your tone that made Azriel twitch inside you. His gaze burned into yours. "Do they make you this hungry?”

A part of you wanted the confirmation, wanted the triumphant feeling of knowing you could ruin him for everyone else— that you felt better than the females he had bedded, that you, the one he loathed so openly, were the only one to truly quench his thirst.

“Do they feel as good as me, Azriel?”

He let out a deep, guttural moan. The sound traveled through your body, lighting your skin on fire as you bucked back into his movements, meeting every roll of his hips. 

“Say that again,” Azriel groaned.

When you gave no reply, he twisted your hair around one fist and gave it a tug, pulling your body up to him as before. His thrusts never staggered, not even as his hand traveled to wrap around your throat, matching the reddening print from his earlier grip. The other hand remained steady at your hip, gripping into the fabric of your dress and the exposed skin of your body. 

“Say my name,” he growled and your cunt tightened at the sound, at the way he gripped your throat harder. You grasped at his arm with your hands, holding on to his skin as he bucked into you. 

“No.” 

Azriel growled, pulling out of you almost completely before he pushed back in a heavy, angry stroke. Your body arched in pleasure, a small whimper leaving your mouth instinctively.

“Don’t be a brat.”

“Fuck you.” 

“I am,” Azriel said, “And your cunt is swallowing me whole, princess. Like it's made for me, like its been begging to be fucked.”

He released his grip from your throat, letting you fall forward as he placed his hand on the small of your back, arching your body for him as he pounded into you from behind. You fell forward, hands planted on the tree before you, fingers clawing at the bark like an animal in heat. Azriel watched as his cock disappeared into your cunt with every thrust, watched how your ass bounced back on him with every movement, how your tits moved with every roll of his hips. He fought not to finish from the sight alone. 

You struggled to find your voice through the haze of pleasure that clouded your mind, that seemed to twist and tie your tongue to where you could only gasp incoherent words of ecstasy

“Oh, fuck. Azriel.”

Azriel drank in your sounds of pleasure like a male thirsted for centuries, the sound of his name on your tongue sending a wave of pleasure through his body.

“Are you going to cum, Y/n?”

You let yourself surrender to his touch as he continued to ravage you with ruthless abandon, his voice caressing you in ways you never knew a sound could do. You wanted him to go faster, harder, rougher; wanted him to fuck you with all his might, with all that anger you saw. As if he could read your mind, Azriel’s thrusts sped up, slamming into you.

“Fuuck, yeah, you are. I can feel this pretty little cunt clenching me.”

He continued his pace, fucking you with long thorough strokes that left you completely pinned between him and the rough bark of the tree. You felt him heavy against your back, breasts pressed against his hand as he moved between gripping them both roughly, holding onto them for leverage as he fucked you from behind.

"Look at you," he taunted, his grip tightening around you possessively. "So desperate, so needy. You're nothing but a pretty little slut, begging for release, aren’t you?"

Azriel continued, moving deeper and faster, pumping into you with snaps of his hips that had you writhing underneath him. 

"And yet," you managed between breaths, gasps leaving your lips as he drove into you. "You’re the one pounding into me like a brute who can't get enough.” 

With a low groan, Azriel's hand tightened around your breast, his grip possessive as he leaned in to bite at your shoulder with a hungry intensity. He was beginning to think that you’d surely be the death of him, that he had created something, some beast inside him, that refused to be satiated by anything other than you— and that was dangerous. But he didn’t think too much about it, not now, not as he felt your cunt massaging him from the inside, felt your walls clamping onto him in a way that set his body on fire, his cock throbbing. 

Azriel railed you over and over, nothing slow or gentle about his movements. And with every thrust, you whined in ecstasy. His grip on your hips tightened, holding you in place as he kept pounding into you. He fell forward, grinding against you, pushing you further into the rough bark of the tree.

You could feel it, a deep pressure building in your stomach as his cock stretched you in the most delicious way. And you could feel him too, hot against your back, his deep breaths and the groans that reverberated through his body. The sound of skin slapping against skin echoed in your ears, muffling out the sound of your moans as your whole body tensed.

Then you felt it, a cool trail snaking up your legs. Dark tendrils of Azriel's shadows slithered through your thighs, caressing your skin with a tantalizing touch that made you clench at the sensation. You gasped as they coiled around your clit, winding you up with a feeling you’d never experienced before. With a loud moan, your orgasm rolled through you in a violent convulsion,  white spots dancing at the edges of your vision.

Azriel hated to think it, hated to admit that the sound of you coming undone on his cock was one of the most beautiful things he’d ever heard, that feeling your cunt clench around him as the sound filled his ear was enough for him to unravel. With a choked moan, Azriel spilled into you, spurts of his seed coating your walls. You let out a final, breathy whine at the sensation of him spilling into you, feeling as it began to drip as Azriel slowly pulled out.

With a heavy breath, his gaze lingered on the glistening trail connecting the tip of cock to your cunt. The lust in his eyes faintly faded, and a moment of clarity washed over him as the reality of what he’d just done hit like a sudden, cold wave. He didn’t regret it, no, not at all. This was exactly the release Azriel had needed. In fact, a part of him nearly grinned at the realization, at the relief he now felt in his body. But the other part of him, the rational side afraid of disappointing his family, of fucking something up, awoke in a panic. What the fuck had he just done? And why was he so proud of it? 

You slowly stood up, straightening yourself out as you turned to face him, face flushed and hair a tangled mess. There was a ghost of a smirk playing on your lips as you took them between your teeth and bit down. Your breasts were still exposed, nipples peaked and reddened marks from his rough grip. Azriel's eyes traveled down your form, swallowing hard as he took in the sight before him. He could smell the desire that filled the air around you both, could smell himself on you— the image of him plunging in and out of you still fresh in his mind. 

The idea of it alone made his cock stir again. There was something intoxicating about this situation to him. The image of you returning home, covered in his marks, in his scent, in his seed. Eris smelling him on you, realizing that you’d not only fucked someone he despised, but sullied yourself with an illyrian– just as he’d told Mor. And you, you’d remember this. You’d remember him inside you, remember how you let him use you, fuck you like a common-court whore. And you’d have to live with that. Every insult you’d give him, everytime you sneered at him in the future, there would be a part of you that remembered falling apart on his cock as you begged him for more, for him to fuck you harder.

With a gentle flick of your fingers, your dress was perfectly restored, the fabric falling gracefully around your figure as your hair cascaded down your shoulders in silky, untouched, waves. You smoothed out the sleeves of your dress with a practiced gesture before turning your gaze back to Azriel, scanning him from head to toe. Your eyes lingered on his still-exposed cock, covered in the mixed fluids of your cunt and his seed. A smirk played at the corner of your lips as Azriel looked down, realization flickering in his eyes as he hastily pulled up his pants, stuffing himself back into them. 

"Well, this was fun," you remarked casually– almost bored. Azriel resisted the urge to frown at the words, at the tone you used.  "Catch you later, Shadowsinger."

Before he could respond, you were gone, leaving him standing alone in the forest, staring at the empty space before a tree.
