"Your wife." she repeated, as a smirk made the corners of her mouth turn up. "Don't you forget it but," she smiled softly, "we got to get through this before we can actually be husband and wife again. Think you can do it or do you need an incentive?" Her eyebrows quirked as miss swollen lips puckered slightly. "Mm."

Her hand caressed his cheek as her fingertips slowly traced over his features. There was a ton more to talk through but for now this was enough. Apologies were said and though she'd yet officially say she forgave him, it was enough for now. Looking into his eyes after that kiss she smiled and raked her eyes down his chest. "I think that we should get back inside and downstairs and I really think you should not wear a shirt. After all, we did just have sex and it'll look better if you come down disheveled. Gran wants a grand baby. Maybe we'll get lucky and give her one this trip." she teased, highly doubtful but still funny. "Come on." She reached for his hand waiting to walk inside.

It was a somber nod, feeling the immense sadness growing in his chest, his reality dawning on him. All he did, everything he fucked up, and for it to yield nothing. It was a slap in the face, he truly was an idiot. "Somewhere along the way, I stopped listening. I'm sorry, it won't happen again." He continued staring at her phone dumbfounded, but the hurt in her tone pulled his gaze away from the screen. "Hey, who cares about everyone else? You're the only one that matters." A bashful smile inevitably formed, "I'll always be your idiot." It wasn't long before she jumped off the bed with his shirt in hand. Aaron sat up in bed, happily watching her run outside to enjoy the falling rain. His smile only grew, standing up and finding his pants. His shirt was currently occupied, so he went shirtless.

Today was a day for Jolie's points. She was right, he hadn't really asked. He did plan to properly ask, pop the question and everything if she chose, but Aaron couldn't interrupt her now. Jolie was absolutely beautiful, the rain only enhanced every feature. He never tired of watching the love of his life in pure bliss. He was careful to step closer to her, reaching for her waist and stopping her mid-twirl. "I planned to ask, but your answer beat me to it. My wife always had a nicer ring to it anyway." The cascading rain drops fell on his hair, small droplets hanging on the end of the hair strands. "Double headache, and double payment. I think they'll live. Changing my mind for the better," he confessed, feeling his heartbeat increasing upon hearing her giggle. His hand softly caressed her cheek, leaning in to meet her lips, as if to seal his commitment to her once more.

I CANT KEEP SEEING THAT THEYRE DEFROSTING AD PLEASE RELEASE ME FROM THIS HELL

[martieshub]

❛I might. If this is my one big favor then I'd have to reconsider. ❜ she smiled softly, tone playful like this was their usual banter. The tricky part was to fool her heart into thinking this wasn't gonna change anything between them. Nostalgia was in their front view as they walked. Eyes scanned over the pier and sighed. The memories that they made were a lot. She didn't like to think of everything but when she did, she felt saddened by the fact that Aaron had seemingly given up on them. On her. And that reminded her of why she didn't fight him on it. If he didn't love her anymore then she wasn't going to fight a losing battle.

If this was them before she'd reach for his hand and snuggle into his side. The comfort he'd bring her would overwhelm her with joy. ❛A divorce you chose.❜ maybe that wasn't the right time to bite back but it was a fact. ❛That sounds fine. We can't exactly go back to how we were but I think we should be able to go back to how we were friends. I don't think it'd be that hard. Remember how we used to watch those old school movies and we would come up with how their alternative present selves would be like. My favorite one was It Happened One Night. I think that was the night I had milk come out from my nose.❜ she nodded her head and smiled, ❛Are you still working at the same job? She loves her new plants. She retired now so she has more time to spend in her garden. If you want to bring her a new plant you could bring her an orchid. ❜

❛Hm, sad. Why? Did you have other favors in mind?❜ Okay, perhaps he was tempted to provide an additional free favor in there. Only because he couldn't bring himself to say no to her, even after all this time. The walk back to the car was so familiar, it was difficult to not get caught up in their past and all the moments they shared. He couldn't help but think back to the evenings spent here. The way he hugged her from behind as they stared out on the horizon, watching the sun go down, and getting an overpriced treat on the walk back to the car. Only the slight breeze from the pier brought him back to his sour reality.

He walked alongside her, arms crossed over his chest to keep himself from instinctively reaching out, and holding her hand. It still felt right to want that. A small sigh escaped him when she spoke up, he didn't want to think about this now. ❛It's not that Jolie. I mean, you're right about the awkwardness but that just kind of comes with the divorce.❜ It took him a minute to look up at her, quickly getting lost in those eyes of hers. ❛I mean, yeah sure. I agree that we have a long way to go. I figured we'd figure it out on the drive there.❜ Very optimistic of him. ❛But, what are you thinking then? How could we fix this? We get dinner, might get us to look at each other for an hour at least.❜

A smile tugged on his lips, shaking his head to deny that she was dragging him from anything. That didn't matter to him, she was still his priority. ❛Not at all, you're not dragging me from anything. I have some downtime this week. Hm, pasta and chicken is still good. New plants? She's still collecting, huh. Maybe, I'll bring her one more.❜

❝ come stand by the fire. it’s warmer. ❞ enj to joly

JOLY HAS BURIED HIMSELF in his medical textbooks. He’s especially been reviewing battlefield injuries. Of course, Joly hopes it’ll all come to naught. He has every hope possible that Enjolras’ revolution will be peaceful, with no injuries to anyone. Privately, however, Joly has a sinking suspicion it will not be so simple.

His head rises from his book at Enjolras’s call. Joly finds a smile, folds his book shut, and strides to join him. “Already issuing orders?” Joly teases. The Musain is a drafty old building; he cannot deny that the fire’s warmth does not extend far.

[magefeathers]

in regards to that last post I know it may not seem like it from my blog but this is actually something I'm very passionate about and for all my life I have NEVER understood the deification of celebrities and now even infulencers. ST is the only band fandom I've ever participated in because to me being a fan of a band means listening to the music. the only reason I participate in the fandom side of ST is because of the lore. I used to joke that I was the perfect ST fan bc I could not tell you the name of a single member of most bands that I listen to, even ones I've listened to for decades, because I Do Not Care about the people behind the music as long as I'm not supporting people who are pieces of shit, and I certainly wouldn't recognize a single member of any band I listen to if I passed them on the street. who they are outside of the art they create is none of my goddamn business.

and sure I care about the ST guys insofar as to say I'm proud of them and I hope they are happy and have joy and love in their lives and I hope they take care of themselves but I understand that I will never Know them and they will certainly never know me. and to be honest I hope they have these things because they are human beings and all human beings deserve these things. I don't even listen to chappell roan and I would say I also hope she's happy and has joy and love in her life and I hope she takes care of herself!! because she is also a human being and I know about as much about her as I know about any of the ST guys!!

I just. I don't understand the attachment and the obsession and the entitlement people feel to these absolute strangers, their time, their space, their personal lives. even if I were able to recognize vessel on the street I couldn't fathom being so rude and invasive as to ask him for a picture or even try to talk to him when he's a goddamn stranger trying to go about his day.

also to be clear I know the other post was specifically about female celebrities because YES it is so much worse for them, women in general are always expected to be more gracious and accommodating and sweet and gentle and kind and perfect, and people almost seem to expect it if/when a male celebrity is a dick about saying no to talking to/taking photos with fans, but a female celebrity can say no as kindly as possible and apologize profusely for maintaining her own boundaries and still be demonized (or killed!!!!) for it. I know that. I'm only bringing up male celebrities because they are the only celebrities I post about and I want to make it clear that despite how I may tag photos of them I'm Well Aware that they are human fucking beings and absolute strangers to me

exhales sharply. part of him had expected the rejection but still wasn't prepared for how it would feel. it shouldn't affect him the way ti does, shouldn't dig into that part of him that still stupidly aches for something they were never supposed to be. " no, right, of course. " nodding like he understands, like he accepts it. but he doesn't. how can he ? digits twitch at his sides, itching to reach for her, to do something other than just stand there drowning in the memory of them. " i'm sure it is. " lets words settle between them for a beat, dark hues searching her face for something, anything. guilt, hesitation, anything that tells him that she feels it too. " was any of it real ? or was it just another transaction to you ? "

      one  thing  about  her  profession  was  that  she  had  been  conditioned  to  pay  attention  to  the  smallest  details  —  the  subtle  shifts  in  body  language  ,  the  fleeting  change  in  tone  .  it  taught  her  to  read  people  ,  to  anticipate  their  needs  before  they  even  voiced  them  .  part  of  it  was  for  her  own  safety  ,  to  stay  one  step  ahead  ,  but  the  other  part  was  more  intricate  .  "  i  don't  want  your  apology  ,  noah  .  "  it  sounded  harsh  ,  but  she  doesn't  mean  for  it  to  ,  "  you  don't  owe  anything  .  "  his  debt  was  settled  long  ago  ,  the  contract  voided  ,  and  if  they  were  only  looking  at  this  from  a  business  standpoint  ,  everything  was  finished  .  clean  .  done  .  she  pauses  for  a  moment  ,  voice  softer  now  and  tinged  with  something  vulnerable  as  she  continues  ,  "  just  seeing  you  so  at  peace  is  enough  for  me  .  "  or  at  least  that's  what  she  had  been  instructed  to  say  in  preparation  of  this  very  encounter  .

I am the type of tarot reader to say as it is. Nothing is sugar coated but everything is sent with good intention. If you are not ready to face some truth, you should vagabond somewhere else.

MINOR DON'T INTERACT WITH THIS POST 

MINOR DON’T READ THIS POST 

PILE 1 

9 cups (revere), 10 wands (reverse), Hermit (reverse), Star (reverse)

They find you irresistible because you are boring. Y’all remind me of the beige character in Lazytown. You are probably the mother/father of your group of friends. You rather stay inside than to be the life of the party. You prefer being in a comfy spot with your fav blankie reading a book or even watching anime. Also you don’t mastubate and there is no dark reason nor strong conviction, it doesn't have any effect on you. You don’t really care for it. They find your kinda self control sexy. Plus you are a very logical person and you don’t date around. You also don’t fall for the glitz and glam of the world. The fact that you are not easily entertained and you choose them as yours make them feel wanted. The way you treat them is hella hot.

💌:Imma throw this here because I know y'all don't be reading intro. Y'all be to excited : IS OFFICIALLY KINKTOBER ! For the whole month of October on my Ko-fi and Tumblr we are getting real nastyyyyyy! Everyday I will be dropping a reading.

PILE 2 

5 cups, Queen wands, 7 swords, page of cups

They find your clinginess irresistible. I feel like past lovers often hated how physical you are. I just heard someone say: ‘’Get a life already !’’. But the one you have now loves your hug, kisses, hand holding, hair playing and back rubbing that you keep doing because physical touch is your love language. You are literally a sex symbol pile 2, before you get all self conscious on me … just know that Marilyn Monroe is a sex symbol, so is Kylie Jenner and Angelina Jolie let me throw Esther Jones and Precious (Top model) ,all different symbols and all very much SEX ! So now you can stop comparing yourself to the standard and realize you are born  with it. You have it or you don’t. A lot of y’all reading this have hip dip but baby that bubble butt… hun… let me catch my breath real quick. I feel like a lot of your ‘’wannabe’’ lovers try to get with you just for your body. I’m hearing : ‘’ Cauze 99.9% of this fuckboys can’t fuck me !’’ PERIDOT ! I know that’s right. They think you dumb for not catching their hints but I just heard someone say : ‘’ It's not my fault I refuse to speak the bum language …’’. Just so you know pile 2, I’m taking that iconic statement from you for my next insta post. It does not stop here, y’all be so skillful in the bedroom. Most of y’all have a girly girl aesthetic (even if you are a goth it still has a very feminine touch to it) so people think y’all are pillow princesses/princes. If you are a man it is because you have a clean look to you. But y’all be doing tricks on a dick. I heard  the tiktok sound that goes : ‘’ Bus, club and another club no sleep’’ but for you it be ‘’ handjob , cuddlefuck, doggy and missionary ‘’. So I ask : ‘’ All in one round …’’. Your energy : ‘’I am a ride they won't survive …’’ OK ! PILE 2! I SEE YOU! The sexiest thing of it all is the fact that you are very loyal. Y’all be having your partner as a lock screen, as your profile pic or even on your boxer or panties. If you play video games, you might get your equipment costume with their picture. That together makes you a hottie !

You guys are dangerous. Fucking dangerous. You are the reason  why a love witch is always going to catch a check. People are getting cut ties spell  because of the impact you have on them. You are the soul tie final boss. If you are a owner of dick you are out here hitting it raw having those ladies often older than you thinking maybe a baby with my sneak link ain’t that bad (shake my motherfucking head) . Is not their fault. Is yours. You are out here whispering bullshit but that good bullshit. I’m hearing : ‘’ I’m yours baby …’’, 'Are you almost there princess…’’, ‘’ I know baby, I know it is too much but you can give me one more …’’. Hey ! where y’all think you are going ? Yes, you , women ! Out here making men double your age believe they still got it. What’s irresistible about this group is that y’all are loving lovers. For the women, I am channeling a dilf that you met while traveling. You are out there living life like a Lana Del Rey video clip. You let that man slide it in raw, because for you it is just for fun. Pile 3, you cannot trick me. First y’all don’t use condoms, some of y’all are allergic to it. But you still don’t use birth control out here timing yourself with your natural calendar. God do be having  favorites ! That older man was mesmerized by your moaning and the way you speak some life into their sexual skills. Making them think they're the best. Loving lover + big dick/gripping pussy+smooth talk and sexy moan = Irresistible to the point of insanity .

💌: The lover that I channel for this collective whether it be the girls/boys they are done trying to manifest you back in their life. But they still miss the intimacy your share.

❛It is not your fault lala. It sucks that it happens but it is not your fault. Your feelings on it before did not determine whether or not you kept or lost them. ❜ Hearing Laurel's words broke her heart. She never knew she wanted kids before, she was adament on it with Aaron. But, seeing the way Laurel and Eli were, they deserved to have that type of happiness. ❛You were never not careful. You didn't kill it. ❜ she placed a hand over hers and held it. ❛Lala you weren't ready back then and that was not your fault. That just wasn't their time to come into the world. A child should come into the world with two parents who want them and have zero doubts about them. You weren't ready. That was not your fault. This isn't a punishment. If it was, don't you think he'd also have gotten punished? ❜ she wasn't religious but she knew for a fact that the ones who were harder than any God would be were the actual humans going through a rough time. ❛You are one of the best humans I've ever met. I'm so glad I get to be your best friend. When I'm sick you bring me food in a care package. Every time I'm in the air and ready to pilot the planes, you send me a text wishing me well and a safe flight. You track my schedule just to make sure I get a welcome to whatever city I'm in currently. You love with a passion. You put everyone first. Whenever and if you ever decide to try again, that kid is gonna be the luckiest child in the world. Because it'll have you as their mom and Eli as their dad. He loves you, have you seen him look at you? That isn't contigent on whether you give him a child or not. Shitty things happen but that makes the good moments so much more worthwhile. Feel your feelings but don't you dare think any of that happened because you didn't want it the first time. ❜

Laurel's feeling of defeat flooded her the moment Jolie hugged her. It felt warm and safe, her body was limp even as she played with her hair and helped her lay down on her lap. Laurel felt so weak and helpless, but her heartbreak was so great, that at the moment, she couldn't even pretend to be okay for long. Her ability to lie and pretend, came and went in waves. Jolie's words were nice, but it wasn't something she believed entirely. But, laying on her lap and facing away from her, she found her tears freely flowing. Her friend's comfort was soothing, more than she expected. ❛It has to be my fault. I reacted so badly the first time, even if it was a false alarm. This has to be some form of karma or punishment for that time. That's why it's my fault, I should've been more careful to not lose-❜ she spoke quietly, unable to even say the word out loud. Their baby, her baby blueberry — as she affectionally called them, after the doctor compared their baby's size to the tiny fruit. ❛I caused Eli so much pain, we were so excited.❜

Jolie’s notes on

The Lion’s Mane (Sherlock & co podcast)

Oh, this case made me so happy. 🦁🪼⛴️

Sweet domesticity in Baker Street, then a client ringing the bell bringing a dramatic case… This is another ACD story with quite striking hidden horror. You don’t really think much about the state of the body when you read it, but when you really start thinking about it, it is horrific. And off they go, our heroes, to solve another mystery and right another wrong.

Heroes with a pension plan, of course. Because of course Mariana would have set that up for them all. I love how this show keeps finding modern ways of showing how well Mrs Hudson cares for those two crazy boys.

Heroes who drink tea with marshmallows, too. Sherlock being a big petulant child about those cracked me up.

Loved Maud‘s early reference to tentacles, too. 🦑

Archie being able to sense when people are sad. 🥹

The non-consensual bathroom sharing made me laugh, too, but can people PLEASE just stop making fun of men who sit down to wee? Housewives and cleaning staff all over the world would be so much happier if all men just did.

"It‘s a trolley stuck in a wall." 😂 Trust Jonk to turn absolutely everything into a rant against the rich. 😝

And then they’re off.

Loved this modern version of "Holmes and Watson get on another train for a case", and John waxing poetic about the countryside by night. I have looked out of the window of a night train at the starry sky in the not too distant past myself, so this scene struck a particular chord. But I‘d just love to see more of this reflective, quiet John. He hides him too well usually.

And talking of beautiful, evocative mental images, the moment when Fjara rises out of the sea mist gave me absolute goosebumps. A sight that makes even Sherlock Holmes go "oh my word" must be a sight indeed. And all that with just voices and music. Amazing work.

I also loved how the mythical aspect kinda crept in slowly but unstoppably, and I spent the longest time wondering why Maud had mentioned none of it. In retrospect, of course there was zero reason why she would have. I kinda forgot that Sherlock Holmes stories love playing with our fears of the supernatural, only to supply a completely natural explanation in the end. But that’s quite an achievement in itself! Well played, Joel.

I’m quite happy with the solution as such, too. The original story has always been a little fantastical, that the waters of the British Channel should contain one single organism who could inflict such damage on a human being. But the combination of Lion’s Mane burns, chemical burns, previous fistfight with probably head trauma and quite possibly also a touch of the Martini effect together could totally do it. I’m glad Ian Murdoch survived, btw, I thought he was going to be the third corpse.

I also really appreciated the Lion/Liona throwback to Rache/Rachel in Study in Pink (which seems to confirm to me that we have seen Study in Pink already and it won’t come back).

And the accents! I loooooved the accents. I think they’re a major part of the reason why I listened to this case three or four times before I even managed to pause the flow to take these notes.

Jonk was really taking cringe to a whole new level in his interactions with the locals, though. This is really a part of Watson’s character that they entirely made up for this adaptation and while Paul plays it to perfection, it never sits quite right with me. I’m glad John was his kind and sensitive self with Maud though.

Sherlock wading in rock pools with his trousers rolled up is a mental image that will stay with me for a long while. Check out this lovely art by @noodles-and-tea

"Sexy murderous sea demons?" - "Very, very unlikely." 😂

"We‘re cutting the engine *and* the conversation." & "You are not a priority." 😂

Poor John, nobody wants to hold his hand…

THE JELLYFISH

There’s a reason why the scene with the submarine submersible has inspired a lot of fantastic fanart. I’ll just let these speak for themselves:

I’m so glad they went and found Fitzi McPherson in the end, too. I didn’t expect that and it was a lovely touch.

I may also be a tiny bit obsessed with Sherlock competently handling boats. Very happy to see this several times in this story.

All in all, pure enjoyment this time around. Story, atmosphere, humour, acting, straight As all around for the entire team. More, please!

🩵Day Nine: Seonghwa | Masterlist | Day Eleven: Yeosang ❤️

The door to the basement closed behind you with such finality that it sent a shiver straight down your spine. You were dressed in lingerie, cheap and easy to rip off. You rubbed your arms to relieve the goosebumps that were peppered across your skin. 

This was your chance to finally get the prize you had been chasing since high school and now into your adult life: Song Mingi.

***

“Boss, they’re in position,” San called out. “You want me to run through the rules now?”

Mingi contemplated his computer screen, making sure every participant had submitted their fees and contracts were signed. He didn’t look away from it but acknowledged San. “Everything looks good on my end.”

San grabbed the mic that connected speakers to the underground basement. He was just about to open his mouth when Mingi happened to look over at San’s screen. It was flashing through the female participants and he recognized a face.

He stood up abruptly and stepped over to San’s station, hands gripping the screen. “What the fuck are you doing here?” He hissed under his breath. 

“Boss?” San peered up uncertainly at Mingi. “Everything good?”

Mingi had a quick decision to make. Either he let his best friend’s sister get claimed by one of the other gang members down in the basement or… better the devil you know then the devil you don’t, right?

“Open up door C, San. I’m going in,” Mingi commanded.

He ripped off his leather jacket, revealing only a simple black tank top. He pulled the skull face bandana from his back pocket, the emblem of their gang the Black Pirates and wrapped it around his lower face. 

“But Mingi…” San trailed off. The organizers weren’t supposed to participate. That was the allure of the entire event. No one knew anyone participating. It was all new and exciting. And everyone was a willing participant, fully aware of the rules. 

“I’ll make an official announcement later. Tell them that I was no longer willing to sell product I hadn't sampled myself. Just open the damn door, San. Once it closes behind me, you can recite the rules.”

Mingi stomped out of the office with a grim purpose: he needed to make sure he was the biggest, baddest dog and claim you for himself. Otherwise you might get stuck with another gang member and your brother would kill him. Best if Mingi was the focus of that anger.

***

“Attention all Participants.” 

A voice echoed through some hidden speaker system and scared the shit out of you. 

“The game is about to begin. Before they do, we would just like to be clear and concise on what entertainment the Black Pirates are providing.”

The voice was alluring itself and you shook your head. You had to focus on the here and now.

“Twenty men will enter the basement to pursue five women. Once a man catches a woman in these hallowed halls, he needs to claim her. Let me be crystal clear: once a twitching, throbbing cock enters your sweet, wet, quivering pussy, you are claimed. All participants have signed a contract acknowledging that all sexual activity is consensual and voluntary. You are all here to enjoy your favorite kink so please put on a great show for the rest of us. Enjoy~!”

You braced yourself, ready to run through the hallways in the basement; ready for Mingi to come and claim you. You knew he would see you even though you had applied under an alias name. You knew he would come to the conclusion that your brother would kill anyone that claimed you. You knew that Mingi was about the only person on this earth that your brother wouldn’t be able to kill. 

You grinned excitedly as the countdown began. The gates opened and you shot down the hallway. You saw the other girls participating bolting down the adjacent and winding hallways, bare feet slapping against the smooth concrete. You needed to find a place to hide so that none of the other men would claim you.

Another thrill ran through you when the horn blared, indicating the men were loose fifteen minutes after the women. The wall beside you was a rock climbing wall so you began to deftly climb up to the next level. The men were probably so delicious with lust that they wouldn’t even think to take a shortcut.

You were barely climbing over the railing to the second level when the rush of men zoomed under you. The crowd petered out quite quickly, the loud noises of the taunting quieting down. You jumped nimbly to the metal grated catwalk and made a quiet thunk of a noise as your feet hit it.

There were three men below you and their heads snapped upwards at the noise. You silent cursed yourself as they immediately began to climb the wall that you had so smartly thought was your savior.

You ran as quickly as you could down the catwalk, finding the cement walls and floor and turned a corner. You looked quickly to see how close your pursuers were. One tall man was leading with his long legs, closely followed by another and then the third more built man was bringing up the rear. You weren’t sure which of the tall men were Mingi but you knew in your gut he was one of them.

Your heart was beating in your throat and you tried to steady your breathing as you continued to dart around the corridors that were your playground currently. When you spotted another shortcut, this one an adult slide, you decided it was time to change it up.

You had just about braced your ass on the slide and were about to push off when the buff man wrapped his arms around you. His voice was deep and his arms strong. He pulled you out of the slide and you squirmed in an attempt to get away.

“I’ll treat you so good, beautiful, don’t you worry,” He assured you while simultaneously pushing your underwear to the side. 

“I don’t think so,” One of the tall men headlocked the buff guy, causing those strong arms to release you. 

They began to wrestle and tussle with each other. Punches were exchanged and you winced as The taller one got a fist in the gut. You turned around to run away but came in contact with a very muscular chest.

“You little maniac,” the deep voice cursed. 

He proceeded to sweep you up and throw you over his shoulder with a grunt. 

You knew that voice. You smiled, pleased with yourself. Mingi had found you. 

“Wait a minute, was that Mingi?” The buff guy said behind you as Mingi jogged to get away with his prize.

“No way,” The other tall man said. “He can’t participate.”

Mingi’s long legs carried him up some winding staircase, finding a dead end down one of the many hallways.

“I don’t know what you were thinking but you are in so much fucking trouble,” Mingi growled, settling you back on your feet in front of him.

You beamed up at your long-time crush. “I was thinking that I wanted to get chased and fucked.”

Mingi ran an angry hand through his hair. His face was still half hidden with his mask. You were only more turned on in the moment with the mask. And with Mingi’s anger. 

His eyes raked over your form, taking in the barely-there lingerie. You looked down to his pelvis, thinking your form might be turning Mingi on, but his cock was already very apparently pressed up against his baggy sweats. 

One long finger hooked in between your bra cups and yanked upwards, bearing your breasts to him. Both of his hands covered them and you swallowed down a moan. “I’ve got to be quick. You better not be lying about wanting to be chased. You better be wet right now.”

“Why don’t you check for yourself?” You said with your chin raised stubbornly.

Mingi took no time ripping your underwear off of your body and plunging his fingers between your folds. His eyes widened in surprise and you swore you saw his dick twitch in his pants. 

Loud voices echoed through the halls suddenly and Mingi’s other hand tightened on your breast. He encircled both hands around your waist and brought your lower half level with his. He pushed down his sweats and rubbed his cock against your soaked folds. 

“You’re mine now,” he snarled and then thrusted into you. 

Your back arched as Mingi filled you. Just in time too. The other two men that had been pursuing you had caught up. 

“Fuck,” they both cursed in unison. 

Mingi’s hips moved and you moaned even louder. “Puh-please,” You whimpered. “Give it to me harder.”

Mingi gripped the back of your head with one large hand. “I can’t just plow you without any foreplay, you little maniac.”

“Please fuck me open, please, I can take it. I want it,” You begged.

Mingi cursed quietly under his breath. You wrapped your legs and arms around Mingi and he brought both of his hands back to your waist. He lifted you up and down on his cock, like you were his own personal flesh light and it made you cry out in pleasure. It felt so fucking good to finally be fucked by the man you had been fantasizing about for years. 

“Shit, you’re so fucking tight, goddamn,” Mingi said in a hoarse whisper. 

“This pussy is all yours, Mingi,” You responded, waving your hips with Mingi’s thrusts. “She’s purring for you.”

Your fingertips traced Mingi’s tattoos along his neck, down his trapezius muscle and over his shoulder. “You’re so beautiful,” You couldn't help but say in wonder.

“Fuck, Little Maniac,” Mingi grunted, biting down on his lower lip. “You keep talking like that and I’m going to nut inside of you very soon.”

You moaned and tossed your head back. “Please fill me up, oh my god, give me what I want, Mingi.”

Mingi focused on fucking into you even faster. “I can’t believe this sweet cunt is going to be mine,” Mingi said in wonder. “If your brother doesn’t find me and kill me first.”

You could feel your climax quickly approaching and your cries were beginning to crescendo. “Yeah, Mingi, just like that. You're rubbing all the right places inside of me. Yeah, yeah, come on Mingi, come with me, huh? Make me yours, I’m so fucking ready.”

You both come hard, Mingi putting finger bruises on your waist and you making crescent moon marks on Mingi’s shoulders. You both grin in unison upon the completion of your mission. 

“You’ve got a mouth on you, Little Maniac,” Mingi teased you. 

You tighten your legs around Mingi, mentally willing him to carry you out of here but not remove his cock from inside of you. He wasn’t even softening inside of you. “I can show you what else my mouth can do if you get us out of here right now.”

Mingi’s eyes roll into the back of his head but his feet start moving immediately. “Why do I feel like you’re in control now and not me?”

You lay your head on his shoulder contently. “Because I am.”
