Superman And The Authority (2022). "Widescreen."

[the-antiapocalyptic-man]

Mac and Lia, the OMAC and Flash of Earth-9. Mac is a cybernetic supersoldier derived from tech used to build android OMAC units back in the ‘90s, while Lia is part of the Nelson family, who initially believed Lia’s powers over rapid light-matter conversion were the result of her being born in space. As long-term interplanetary tourism and colonization became more common and the occurrence of metahumans remained statistically consistent with numbers Earthside, the truth slowly became clear. Lia wasn’t a metahuman at all: She was a New God.

With Mac as her protector and partner, Lia escaped into the Bleed, eventually discovered and taken in by one Superman as another--Harvey Dent, the Superman of Lia’s world--and one of the genetically engineered Power Girls pursued her across realities.

Plot Ideas for The Aetheric Echoes Shazam Fanfiction. The Authority

I have a series of loose unconnected ideas of what exists within the world of my fic, but might not impact the story directly.

The Authority is the leading superhero group in this world. They are strictly an anti government group that is made up of the following individuals.

Jenny Mei Sparks - A century baby (immortal that claims to be a "white blood cell" of the planet) - Leader-

The Flash - Lia Nelson - An ex-celebrity who was born in space, gifted with the ability to turn into a beam of solid light and move at incredible speed as light.

Midnighter - The night's bringer of war. A man who was kidnapped and physically enhanced by the defunct government agency, Skywatch.

Apollo - Similar to his husband, Apollo was kidnapped and enhanced by the active government agency, Checkmate to act as a direct deterrent to Midnighter. It didn't take as during their first encounter, the two found that they had an immediate connection and became lovers.

Marvel Girl - Valeria Richards - The Seven-Year-old Daughter of Mister Fantastic and The Invisible Woman. She is secretly bankrolling The Authority's activities as a part of a cryptic thought experiment.

Rush - Suzette Ledbedder - A winged singer turned pilot for the Authority's ship. An ex-lover of former member The Doctor and currently dating The Engineer. She was initially an enemy of the group and was tasked with assassinating Jenny Sparks.

The Engineer - Angela Spica - A disgruntled ex-employee of International Operations who modified a sub-dermal suit of flight armour and used it to save the life of a stranger. This act immediately caused her employers and the world of international espionage to hunt her down. Fortunately, she was picked up by Jenny Sparks.

I truly adore Lia Nelson. She is such a fun hero.

[peacerisendove]

This really is such an interesting questions. Honestly, do any of the speedsters have common sense? I feel like the answer is no. And I mean all of the speedsters. Flash fam? Thawnes? No to all of them. Not even their partners/lightning rods have the braincell.

I'm not certain about this, but my best bet would be on Jay and Joan Garrick.

Jesse Quick for speedster with common sense?

Oh. Oh no. Absolutely not. I love Jesse but she put all her points in Int and none into Wis if you know what I'm saying

[ataldaprotagonista]

você, enzo, matí, kuku, simon hempe, blás polidori (não ao mesmo tempo, sua safada)

Entrevistas e memórias...

"A SOCIEDADE DA NEVE" tornou-de em poucos meses um fenômeno mundial.

Bayona, como o anjinho que era, fez questão de concordar com o máximo de entrevistas para que vocês tivessem cada vez mais notoriedade.

Geralmente iam você, que era protagonista no filme ao lado de Vogrincic, Matí e Agustín Pardella.

Mas essa não.

Essa era uma entrevista com o elenco... inteiro. Bom, a maioria.

Estavam brincando de "quem é mais provável?". As perguntas, até então, tinham sido tranquilas, como "quem é mais provável de chegar atrasado no set?", "quem é mais provável a esquecer as falas durante as filmagens?"

Estavam tranquilas, porém foram subindo de nível e se tornando mais contrangedoras, até o entrevistador questionar: "Quem é mais provavel a ficar com mais pessoas do elenco?"

Todas as pessoas naquela sala, que sabiam das histórias, viraram a cabeça imediatamente para você.

Todas.

Você arregalou os olhos e então começou a encarar cada um daqueles idiotas que viraram o rosto em sua direção...

ENZO VOGRINCIC

Ele havia te chamado pra jantar. Isso antes das gravações começarem de fato, já tinha rolado várias reuniões com o elenco geral, mas como vocês ois seriam os protagonistas, seria de extrema importância, de acordo com Bayona, que vocês dois tivessem conexão.

Jantar não significa encontro, né? 

Pois bem, acabou se tornando um.

Tomaram umas taças de vinho, conversaram sobre tudo: infância, família, gostos musicais, filmes, sobre os países de cada um... ele te elogiou pra caralho também.

A medida que as taças foram fazendo efeito, foram aproximando as cadeiras e aumentando os toques. Hora ele encostava no seu braço desnudo pelo vestido tomara que caia chique que vestia, hora você apertava a coxa dele por de baixo da mesa rindo exageradamento sobre algo que ele falava.

A partir de um momento, Enzo começou a encarar seus lábios avermelhados pelo vinho, lambia os dele enquanto observava os seus.

- Que foi? - você perguntou sem tempo de ficar envergonhada.

- É que... eu queria muito te beijar.

E como esse homem tem o rizz, você sorriu, observou os olhos dele brilhando e o beijou.

ESTEBAN KUKURIZCKA

Kuku sempre foi um cavalheiro com você.

Desde o primeiro dia que se conheceram, para tudo.

Era divertido e tranquilo o que fazia com que você sentisse a necessidade de estar sempre perto dele, necessidade essa que ele tinha com você. Um esquisitinho gostoso que dançava, lia, sempre te fazia rir e te levava para passeios culturais.

Iam assistir filmes no cinema em momentos livres, aqueles que não tinham ensaios nem gravações, visitavam museus, bibliotecas e livrarias espalhadas pela cidade. Você apresentou a ele Clarisse Lispector e ele te deu de presente livros de Jorge Luis Borges, um escritor e poeta argentino. 

Conversavam sobre as peças de Nelson Rodrigues e de outros autores até que surgiu a oportunidade de assistir uma apresentação de um dos contos do autor. Ele fez questão de te buscar em casa, como o bom cavalheiro que era. Isso na ida, pois seus amigos iriam te buscar no teatro para um rolê na saída.

Foram o caminho todo conversando ansiosos sobre o tema, afinal, ambos haviam lido o roteiro da peça. E quando acabou, não deu outra, aplaudiram de pé  o espetáculo.

Sairam do teatro andando lado a lado falando sobre as cenas, as atuações, os figurinos e tudo que havia chamado a atenção de vocês. Estavam muito felizes e empolgados, até ele parar a sua frente e segurar suas mãos.

- Gracias por ter vindo comigo, a experiência não teria sido a mesma sem você.

Você sorriu de canto e ele ficou todo derretidinho.

Mesmo envergonhado ele passou as mãos pela sua cintura e te puxou para um abraço tímido, você transpassou as mãos pelo pescoço do mais alto e quando afastaram um pouquinho os rostos, se encararam e parecia certo demais se beijarem naquele momento, naquele lugar.

E foi o que aconteceu.

Não sabia ao certo quanto tempo ficaram se beijando, só parou quando ouviu uma busina alta, gritos e risadinhas de um carro do outro lado da rua de onde estavam. Seus amigos haviam chegado... e visto a cena.

- Tchau, Esteban. Gracias por hoy - falou com um leve sotaque passando o polegar no rosto corado dele, puxando a cabeça do mais velho pra baixo e depositando um selinho.

Saiu correndo para o carro, fugindo e rindo como se tivesse aprontando. Já dentro do veículo em movimento, olhou para trás e viu ele paradinho lá, com a mão no rosto.

MATÍAS RECALT

Estavam a uns quinze minutos chapadinhos no quarto de hotel em que estavam hospedados para fazer as filmagens.

Matí, seu parceirinho de verdinha. 

- Eu fiz um péé, lá no meu quintaal, to vendendo a grama da verdinha a um real.

Você cantou deitada na cama ao lado de Recalt depois de passar o beck para ele. O garoto te encarou por uns segundos e desatou a rir.

- Porra, nena, essa é nova...

- Pior que é velha - você deitou de lado, de frente pra ele, com o cotovelo na cama e a cabeça apoiada nas mãos. Merda, tinha fumado e quando acontecia... aquele tesãozinho de chapada vinha com força.

 Já tava com o olhar venenoso, na maldade. 

Matí não estava muito diferente, se aproximou deitado assim como você e disse:

- Deixa eu assoprar na sua boquinha?

E você deixou, ele puxou e então colaram as bocas. Só que quando a fumaça se foi, por meio de abanos de vocês, ele se aproximou de novo e dessa vez, beijaram pra valer.

SIMON HEMPE

Noite na praia.

Aquele safado.

Aquariano nato.

Quando soube das fofocas jurou para si mesma que não ia, de forma alguma, ficar com ele.

Principalmente porque havia, até então ficado com TRÊS garotos do elenco.

E quando convidou o pessoal do elenco para passar uma semana em uma praia brasileira com você, não achou que ele fosse topar, até porque tinha mais coisas pra fazer. Mas pelo contrário, ele foi e era muito divertido estar com ele.

Em uma noite, saiu para fora da casa que alugaram que dava direto pro mar e sentou na areia fria observando as ondas suaves. Ele estava ali fora fumando um, logo que o baseadinho acabou, sentou do seu lado e ficaram conversando.

Pararam uns minutos observando o reflexo lindo que a lua deixava na água calma até ele puxar assunto de volta.

- Sabe, acho que a gente podia se pegar, sem maldade, só pra ver se a gente beija bem.... dizem que você beija diferente das argentinas, um diferente bom, beeem bom - sabia que nem Enzo, nem Esteban falariam o que aconteceu entre vocês... porra, Matías Recalt filho da puta!!! Você riu mas não queria deixar na cara que super concordaria com a proposta.

- Ah, cala a boca, Hemp - falou segurando os joelhos contra si - Você é o mais pegador de todos.

- Você fala isso como se já não tivesse amassado geral do elenco - você olhou para ele com a boca aberta e os olhos bem abertos de choque. Deu um tapinha nele.

- Mentiroso.

- AH é? - você revirou os olhos e ele se aproximou de abraçando de lado. - Relaxa, S/Ninha, não vou falar pra ninguém... não se você me beijar.

- Ta me ameaçando é?

- Não se faz de sonsa - você fez uma cara de choque, mas não havia ficado puta, estava se divertindo com aquilo - Eu sei que você quer me beijar, tanto quanto eu. Só não se apaixona...

Porra, aquilo ali já era humilhação! Mostrou pra ele, empanados na areia da praiam o nosso jeitinho especial,  único de beijar brasileiro e ele ficou maluquinho na sua. Se pegaram mais umas vezes naqueles dias... e era ele que chegava todas as vezes.

- Quem que é o "só não se apaixona" agora, ein? - zuou quando ele te levou para dentro do banheiro pela milésima vez no dia, mas Simon nem se dignou a responder. Te calou com um beijo.

BLÁS POLIDORI

Naqueles mesmos dias de verão em praias brasileiras. Aproveitavam o dia para sossegar e curtir a areia e mar, e as noites para baladar, drogas e bebida.

E com gente bêbada vem ideias extraordinárias (ou não), que te humilham (ou não) e que te fazem fazer coisas que jamais faria sóbria (faria sim, vai), como por exemplo: brincar de verdade ou desafio.

Quando viu estava - no meio de todos seus amigos de elenco - sentada no colo do garoto beeem mais alto que você, com a boca atracada na dele.

Na manhã seguinte se arrependeu do que fez, principalmente porque Blás... se apaixonou no seu beijo.

FELIPE OTAÑO

Um dia conseguiram ingressos para assistir a um jogo do time de Pipe, você nem era muito ligada nessas coisas, mas o rapaz de olhos bonitos te convidou com tanto carinho que você aceitou. 

Felipe te deu uma camisa dele para usar no dia, vVocê só não sabia que era a final de um campeonato importante pra o time que ele tanto torcia e falava.

Quando deu um penaltí inesperado foi o momento perfeito pra você falar enquanto passava um gloss:

- Pipe, to com sede.

Ele que estava com os cotovovelos enfiados na coxa, a cabeça entre as mãos, olhou de você pro campo e do campo pra você. "Puta merda, o que eu faço agora?" pairava na cabeça dele.

- Tudo bem - ele falou e saiu correndo, subindo as escadas até sumir de vista. 

Quando ele voltou com uma garrafa de água, dois copos de chope e um balde de pipocas você sorriu.

- Gracias - ele beijou a sua cabeça e questionou:

- O que aconteceu? - meio ansioso para entender qual foi o resultado da gritaria que ocorreu pós o lance.

- O moço de vermelho errou a bola, eu acho.

Ele riu fofinho e então começou a te explicar o que era cada coisa, o que estava acontecendo e tudo mais, só então você se sentiu mal por pedir pra ele buscar alguma coisa num momento tão importante.

No intervalo do segundo tempo vocês conversaram e como começou a esfriar ele deu o moletonzinho tão amado dele e enfiou o boné branco na sua cabeça. Tiraram umas fotos e então os times entraram em campo novamente.

Mais a frente ele explicou que faltavam apenas dois inutos para acabar e que o time dele precisava fazer mais um gol, se não estavam fodidos.

E, manas, esse gol veio nos últimos dez segundos de partida.

Ele levantou e você levantou junto, aí o inesperado aconteceu, de tanta empolgação ele te tascou um beijo da-queles. Te levantando pela cintura e tudo mais.

....

Você ficou vermelha quando, em poucos segundos, lembrou de momentos tão intensos.

- 3, 2, 1 - disse o entrevistador e em um milésimo de segundo teriam todos que apontar para alguém.

Puta merda.

Fechou os olhos temerosa e quando abriu soltou uma gargalhada.

Todos haviam aprontado para Francisco Romero.

- Ayyy, disculpe - disse ele fazendo todo mundo rir e você respirar aliviada.

Amorous Facades - Chapter Eleven

A wild night out leaves the lives of Jamie Tartt and Ophelia Adams more intertwined than they ever would have imagined.

Will their decision to try and use the situation to their advantage work out in their favour or will they realize that they should have cut their losses when they had the chance?

———-

previous chapter

———-

Note: I know this chapter is a little bit late, but unfortunately that might be happening a bit more for the next little while… I have a really busy couple of weeks ahead and then I'm going on vacation for two weeks where I'll have no access to my laptop to write or post anything. Then in September I'm starting a new job. I'm still hoping to update regularly, but the once a week schedule might not be possible. I hope you can all stick with me though because I do have lots more planned for this story!

———-

During their first few days as an official couple, Lia saw less of Jamie than she had every other week since they met. When he left early the morning after their date and didn’t come home until well after dinner, she couldn’t help but let her anxiety get the best of her as she worried that he’d changed his mind or decided that convincing her to agree to be his girlfriend was enough for him to claim victory and he no longer cared now that the chase was over. The hours she’d spent alone that evening after she got home from work gave her enough time to spiral into her own thoughts until she’d worked up the courage to confront him almost as soon as he walked through the door.

She’d immediately blurted out her concerns and while Jamie was shocked at first, a smile slid onto his face once he’d managed to process her words. That only annoyed Lia even further - as she assumed he was making a joke of the whole situation - but he’d quickly put her mind at ease. He apologized for the lack of contact through the day and he explained that their final match of the season was coming up that weekend. It was very important that they won if they wanted to be promoted which meant that the team would be spending the rest of the week training hard for long days. That information simultaneously had Lia feeling relieved and embarrassed as she mumbled out an apology for her reaction and suggested they work on their communication.

Despite the smug smile on his face, Jamie had agreed and spent the rest of the evening teasing her about being so clingy, but from then on he’d made more of an effort to check in throughout the day. She appreciated his willingness to listen to her concerns and by the end of the week she was feeling much more confident in her decision to give Jamie a chance. He really was working hard to prove his dedication to her and she was powerless to resist his charm.

However, when the day of Richmond’s final match of the season came around, Lia found herself feeling nervous again. Jamie had left mid-morning to get in a warm-up with the team before the match started as usual on game day which left Lia to show up at Nelson Road alone, wondering what kind of reception she would receive. She walked slowly through the hallways as if she could delay the inevitable rejection, but it still didn’t take her long to find herself standing outside the door to Rebecca’s office and she took a deep breath to steady herself before knocking on the door.

“Come in!”

It was Rebecca’s voice that called out to her and she accepted the invitation to poke her head around the door to see her sitting on the couch with Keeley as she’d expected.

“Hi,” Lia smiled, relaxing slightly when they didn’t immediately recoil at the sight of her. “I know it’s short notice, but I was hoping I could sit with you two at the match today.”

“Yeah, of course, babe,” Keeley nodded, her enthusiasm putting her even more at ease. “Do you want some champagne?”

She held up her glass as if to demonstrate and Lia accepted the offer as she moved to sit beside her. She was trying to think of a way to bring up the elephant in the room as Keeley poured her a drink, but Rebecca beat her to it.

“So,” she started. “How’re things with Jamie?”

Considering she hadn’t talked to Keeley at all since Jamie’s confession and wasn’t entirely sure how she was feeling, Lia answered somewhat trepidatiously.

“Things are actually really good,” she admitted. “We’ve decided to give it a shot and try being in an actual relationship, not just a pretend one.”

“Oh my god,” Keeley squealed as she handed Lia a glass of champagne. “That’s amazing! I was so worried that Jamie had messed it up all by saying what he said, but he really didn’t mean it. I know Jamie and I know he didn’t, he’s just more emotional than people think and the funeral got the best of him.”

“That’s what he said and it’s been kinda hard to blindly trust him, but we went on a date a few days ago and he really put in some effort. It was nice.”

“That’s so exciting,” Keeley gushed. “And I promise there’s nothing between us now. I was so worried you wouldn’t wanna be friends anymore after what he said so I’m really glad you showed up today!”

“Me too,” Lia smiled. “I didn’t want things to be awkward and I believe that things are over between you, but I just worry that Jamie’s just desperate for affection from anyone, not necessarily from me.”

“I don’t think that’s true,” Keeley rushed to assure her. “He’s different with you. He cares about you, I can see it.”

“It always seemed like more than just an act to me too,” Rebecca mused. “But tell us about this date? Where did you go?”

Lia felt her smile widen and she tried to control her enthusiasm as she launched into an explanation, grateful to finally get some womanly insight into the situation. She told them about the flowers, about the board game pub, the walk home and the little boy in the ice cream parlour. The way they ‘ooh’d and ‘awwe’d at all the right moments brought her some comfort as she still couldn’t help but feel like she’d maybe been won over a little too easily, but Keeley’s response when she was done telling her tale only strengthened her belief that giving Jamie a chance was the right choice.

“Wow, that is way more romantic than anything he ever did for me,” Keeley informed her. “He’s smitten, babe.”

“I didn’t think he had it in him,” Rebecca agreed. “But obviously he just needed to find the right person and it would seem that person is you.”

“You think so? I can’t shake the feeling that he’ll toss me aside once he’s had his fun.”

“Why on earth would you think that?”

The question came from Rebecca - her shock clear in her voice - but Lia simply shrugged.

“Because he’s Jamie Tartt and I’m just me, a dork who works in a bookstore. I don’t want him to get bored once the chase is over.”

“But you’re not boring,” Keeley assured her. “You’re fun and so sweet, Jamie is lucky to have you.”

“You think so?”

Lia cringed, knowing that low self-esteem wasn’t a particularly endearing thing, but she hoped that they would know it was a sincere question and not just a way for her to fish for compliments.

“Absolutely,” Rebecca nodded. “And from what I can see, you’re both good for each other. You definitely bring out the good in him.”

Lia felt practically giddy from their reassurance and hid her smile behind her glass of champagne as she mumbled out a ‘thank you’ before taking a sip and switching the conversation back onto Rebecca to get caught up on the gossip of her own slightly messy love life.

——

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions and Lia wondered if they always would be now that she found herself rather invested in one of the players. The first half had things looking pretty bleak and while Lia knew it wasn’t over until it was over, she was bracing herself to spend the rest of her evening trying to comfort Jamie and help him through the loss.

However, those worries vanished from her mind shortly after the second half of the match started.

It was like Richmond were a different team and they quickly picked up the slack from the first half. It was tense and exciting, but they pulled it together enough to force a tie which was all they needed to get promoted. The girls leapt to their feet the moment the match was officially over, squealing and hugging with an enthusiasm that Lia never imagined she would feel about a sporting event before she met Jamie. The team and coaches all flooded onto the pitch as they celebrated with the roaring cheers from the crowd reaching almost deafening levels and despite the newness and instability of their relationship, Lia felt a pull towards Jamie that truly surprised her.

It was like she physically needed to be near him. She could see him on the pitch being embraced by his teammates and she craved the opportunity to do the same. The pride she felt swelling in her chest took her breath away and when the boys all jumped and ran off the pitch and Keeley suggested they head down to the locker room, Lia practically bolted for the door of the box they were sitting in. She paused briefly enough to congratulate Rebecca on her team’s win, but then she darted out into the hallway with Keeley hot on her heels.

The sound of exuberant chants echoed down the halls as soon as they got down to the main floor and Lia let out a joyful giggle as Keeley swung open the door, calling out to the team as she did. Their presence seemed to heighten the already rampant celebrations as the team let out a cheer at their arrival, but Lia was more focused on her search through the crowd for Jamie. 

When her eyes finally landed on him, she felt her heart swell.

He looked relieved. He looked joyous. He looked on top of the world. And combined with his dishevelled post-match appearance, the look of success was incredibly sexy on him.

She couldn’t resist winding her way through the group until she was by his side and finally able to wrap her arms around him, finding the feel of him just as intoxicating as the sight. His strong muscles, clinging to his shirt that was damp with sweat. The deep, manly scent of his body after such an intense workout. The way he squeezed her so tight she wondered if he was ever going to let her go. It all had such a strong wave of emotion washing over her that she couldn’t stop herself from stretching up to capture his lips in a kiss.

There was a shyness to it - a moment of hesitance before she found the courage to slide her hand to the back of his neck and encourage him to dip his head - but Lia knew it was unnecessary. As far as the rest of the team was concerned, their PDA was old news. They’d been showing affection in front of the group for weeks, but it felt different now that what they had was real. The moment felt more intimate now that it wasn’t simply for show and Lia felt her cheeks growing hot as she pulled away.

“Congratulations, Jamie, you were amazing.”

“Nah, wasn’t me really,” Jamie shrugged. “Dani’s goal really sealed the deal.”

“But you let him take the shot,” she pointed out. “It was a team effort and you’ve really become a team player.”

“Thanks, babe.”

A lazy smile slid onto Jamie’s face that was so endearing that Lia found herself once again drawn to stretch up and connect their lips, but she was relieved to find that Jamie seemed to be as desperate for connection with her as she was with him as when she tried to slip out of his grasp, he tightened his arm around her waist to stop her from moving too far away.

There was a tension between them that was undeniable. It simmered through the after party in the locker room and seemed to grow with every casual touch or lingering glance. Lia felt absolutely smitten with Jamie. Seeing him in his element, celebrating after a win, bonding with the team that he’d been working so hard to prove himself too. The atmosphere amongst the group was electric and Lia was grateful to be a part of it, even more so now that she wasn’t just pretending. 

And as Jamie’s touches grew bolder, she felt it was safe to assume that he was feeling the same way about her. His hand drifting down to squeeze her bum when no one was looking, letting his thumb slip under her shirt to stroke at the skin of her lower back when his arm was settled around her waist, the way he kept leaning in close to whisper things in her ear even when such closeness wasn’t really necessary almost as if he was just looking for an excuse to let his breath wash over her skin. There was no way that Jamie couldn’t feel the spark crackling between them and crawling up his spine the way that she could.

And so - if Jamie was intent on driving her wild - she decided to return the favour.

Being seductive or flirtatiously teasing wasn’t her forte, but the beer that she was sipping on helped her find a little inspiration - both due to its contents and design. She was deep in conversation with Isaac - the team Captain - and Colin - one of his teammates - when the alcohol she’d been sipping and the burn of Jamie’s gaze on her helped the idea take shape in her mind. Nodding along to what Isaac was saying as he told her some in depth information about a play they’d been practicing, she glanced over at Jamie and made eye contact as she deliberately let the neck of the bottle rest between her lips for just a moment longer than necessary, sucking gently in a way that she hoped would be at least somewhat suggestive. She saw Jamie’s jaw clench as he watched her and she bit back a smile as she turned her attention back to the men she was talking to, but it didn’t take long for her to feel an arm slide around her waist and she didn’t even need to glance up to know that it was Jamie.

For the rest of the post-game celebration, Jamie didn’t let her out of his grasp and Lia was more than happy to stay cuddled up against his side. When the team started discussing where to move the party and which club to take the celebrations to, she was relieved when Jamie turned down the invitation and suggested that they just head home. She eagerly agreed, but was surprised that when they got into the taxi to go home, Jamie became more withdrawn. The affection that he’d been lavishing on her all night was gone as he sat on the far side of the car, focusing his gaze out the window. It was reminiscent of how they’d been when their relationship was just an act and it was a stark contrast to the way he’d been all evening.

She tried not to let her anxiety bubble to the surface and get the best of her - assuming instead that perhaps he was just tired as the adrenaline of the match started to fade away rather than that he wasn’t truly interested in her - but she was still buzzing from the way they’d been teasing each other all night. Desperate for some kind of physical touch, she reached out to take his hand and was relieved when he turned his head to flash her a smile before interlacing their fingers.

It was sometime during their drive home that Lia started formulating another idea - one that was only emboldened by the fact that Jamie announced that he was in dire need of a shower almost as soon as they walked through the door.

——

Jamie had barely been in the shower for five minutes when he heard a knock at the door before it slowly cracked open.

“Jamie? Can I come in?”

The question was tentative and only added to Jamie’s confusion. In all the time they’d lived together, neither of them had dared to enter the bathroom while the other one was showering. The glass door left nothing to the imagination and as soon as she entered the bathroom he would be fully exposed to her. It was a thought made his cock twitch despite his concern about her urgent need to talk to him. 

“Course you can,” he called back. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” she squeaked as she poked her head around the door. He noted with pride that her eyes widened at the sight of him, but the next words out of her mouth left him the one feeling stunned. “I was just wondering if I could join you?”

He stared in disbelief as she shrugged the bathrobe that she’d changed into off of her shoulders and stood before him completely naked. 

“Fuckin’ hell,” he groaned. “How could I say no to that?”

After the weeks of self-restraint, he felt himself begin to stiffen just from letting his eyes roam over her body, admiring her pert breasts and soft curves that he’d been fantasizing about for so long as her cheeks flushed a deep red and she open the door that separated them. When she moved under the water to let her hands trace over his damp chest, he grew thick and heavy as his cock strained for some of her attention. He was almost scared to move or even breathe in case it snapped her out of whatever trance she’d fallen into, but as she bit her lip and mumbled out a soft yet appreciative ‘wow, Jamie’, he couldn’t help but question her.

“What’s all this about?” He asked softly, hoping he didn’t sound in any way ungrateful. “I thought you wanted to take things slow.”

“I do,” she admitted. “But I thought you deserved a little appreciation after your performance today. You were so good, Jamie. It was so amazing to watch you.”

Her words came out like a purr and the thick honey tone was all his cock needed to swell to its full potential, but he tried to stay focused as he made sure she was serious about the situation.

“S’just the job,” he choked out. “It’s nothing special.”

“It was special,” she insisted. “You were incredible. I was so proud to be wearing your jersey, for everyone in the crowd to be thinking that I’m your wife.”

The praise sent shivers down his spine as he flushed at her words, but the request that came next almost short-circuited his brain.

“Can I touch you?”

“Yes! Fuck, Lia, please.”

He answered immediately, feeling his desperation climbing quicker than he was used to. But then again, he wasn’t used to being celibate for as long as he had been and a release with someone other than his hand was very much needed. He knew that he was very close to sounding like he was begging - something he wasn’t particularly used to doing in bed - but in that moment he would have promised her anything to get her hands to slide down his stomach the way that they were. When she took him in her hand, he couldn’t hold back the moan that slid from his lips and he kept his eyes from fluttering shut just long enough to see her peering up at her from under her long eyelashes with wide eyes.

“You’re so big…” He knew he was at least a little bit above average, but the awe and delight in her voice had a wave of pride washing over him. She had an air of innocence about her despite the bold way she’d come onto him and he was finding it hard to hold himself back. However, he didn’t have to struggle with his restraint for long before she sank to her knees, staring at his cock with a hungry look in her eyes. “I can’t wait to taste you…”

She looked up at him, almost as if she was waiting for permission, but he didn’t trust his voice not to crack so he simply nodded. That was all the encouragement she needed as she eagerly took him into her mouth earning a hiss of pleasure from Jamie as his head tipped back into the warm stream of the shower. He’d had a few doubts about the level of experience that Lia had, but it was soon obvious that he had nothing to worry about because if she was unpracticed then she was a natural talent.

The warmth, the pressure, the pace that she set. It was like she knew exactly what he needed even before he did. She took him deep, gagging slightly in a way that was another little boost to his ego, but his chivalrous side came out as he let one hand slide to her the back of her head to help steady her movements and keep her comfortable. He was careful to keep his grip loose - more to guide than to control - as she clearly needed very little help from him.

He watched completely entranced as she hollowed her cheeks, sucking him so enthusiastically that it was like she was honoured to do it. As her hand drifted from his thigh to gently cup and tease his balls, an obscene sound left his mouth and he felt himself quickly heading towards a peak. He knew it hadn’t taken long and usually he would have been feeling a little more sheepish about his lack of control, but he was too wrapped up in his pleasure to care.

“Babe,” he choked out, knowing he needed to warn her before he was too far gone to form any words. “I’m close.”

The only indication that she’d heard was a slight increase of her tempo and as he felt her tongue drag pointedly along the vein on the underside of his cock, Jamie was lost in his pleasure to repeat himself. His fist clenched as his other hand tightened its grip on Lia’s hair and he resisted the urge to buck into her mouth, letting out a strangled cry as the rush of his release washed over him.

His knees felt weak as his heart raced in his chest, but even when Lia pulled away to swallow, she used her hand to gently stroke him until he came back down from his high. And once his mind began to clear, he reached down to offer her a hand and help her back to her feet.

“Fuckin’ hell, babe,” he murmured. “Where did that come from?”

“You deserved it,” she smiled. “Was it okay?”

“Okay? You were fucking amazing,” he assured her. “Didn’t expect you to be so bold.”

She blushed so hard that even her chest was flushed and a glimmer of the more trepidatious girl he was used to reappeared.

“I can be bold when I need to be.”

Based on what he’d seen so far, Jamie had no argument to that claim. There was obviously far more to Lia than he’d expected and he was excited to peel back even more of her layers.

“Yeah? Well, so can I,” he informed her. “How about we get out of this shower and I can return the favour?”

She bit her lip as his words made her shiver against him, but to his surprise she shook her head.

“No, it’s okay,” she assured him. “Tonight was about you.”

“You don’t want me to? It should be about both of us. You were just saying what a team player I am.”

His words were said with a smirk and he felt Lia giggle as she leaned her head against his chest.

“You are, but I didn’t expect any reciprocation. I just wanted to do something special for you.”

“Touching you would be pretty special too.” He slid his hand down to cup the cheek of her bum, revelling in the feel of her smooth skin and noting the way she turned her body slightly when he gave it a little squeeze, almost as if she was opening herself up to him. “But you didn’t answer my question. Do you want me to?”

She whimpered in response as Jamie let his hand drift over the curve of her hip, but he waited and simply rubbed his thumb against her skin until she gave him proper confirmation.

“Yes…”

It was a short response, but it was almost as desperate as Jamie's earlier plea and after her efforts to bring him pleasure, Jamie wasn’t going to make her ask twice.

Sliding his hand lower, he was somewhat surprised to find that the skin between her legs was bare. It was a detail that escaped his notice when she’d first dropped her robe, but now his mind had been cleared by his release, it caught his attention and he shelved the thought for another time to avoid embarrassing her or doing anything that might cause her to make him stop his exploration. Instead, he stayed quiet as his hand dipped lower until she parted her legs to grant him more access and the wetness he found between them had another groan falling from his lips.

“Fuck, babe, you’re soaked,” he informed her, as if she might be unaware. “Is this all for me?”

He stroked her gently, letting his fingers trail just beside the sensitive bud that he knew would be desperate for his attention as she murmured out a soft ‘mhmm’. He could feel her hand gripping his bicep as he watched her eyes drift shut and a moan slipped from her lips as he let a finger dip gently inside her. She was tight and the thought of the muscles that were gripping his finger being wrapped around his cock was almost enough to have him twitching back to life, but he kept his focus on her as he paid attention to the movements that earned him coos of pleasure or gasps of encouragement. It wasn’t long before he added another finger to his explorations, enjoying the way she stretched around him as his thumb came to settle finally on the bundle of nerves he’d been carefully avoiding. The sound she made at the contact was one of pure bliss and had Jamie feeling desperate to see her fall apart under his touch.

“You’re so fuckin’ pretty like this,” he groaned. “Let go for me, baby. Wanna see you cum, wanna feel it.”

His encouragement had her whimpering again, but he could tell from the quick rise and fall of her chest and the way her nails were digging into his skin that she was close. He kept his movements steady and it only took a few more moments for her to come undone, letting out a moan that sent shivers down his spine as he felt her clench around him. He coaxed her through it until she was quivering him against him when he slowly moved his hand away.

She clung to him, but as her breathing steadied and he felt her heartbeat slow in her chest, he realized the water washing over them was starting to get cold.

“Let’s get out of here.”

The words were murmured into her hair and he felt her nod as she stumbled away from him as if she was in a daze. He smirked, knowing that if she was shaken now she would be absolutely wrecked when he was able to really take his time with her, but he also knew that she seemed sincere when she insisted that she still wanted to take things slow. Considering she’d just given him far more than he’d expected to get anytime soon, he was more than happy to respect her wishes and he turned off the water before grabbing a towel and following her out of the bathroom, eager not to let her too far out of his sight.
