No description of ethnicity one comment of complexion that’s it but reader when I write is always written with myself in mind. It’s soooo self indulgent.

this is SUPER self indulgent, So I first thought of this from his interview with Jimmy Kimmel when they asked about the migraines as an excuse not to have sex and of course his response was spot on he said “I don’t know what a migraine is” and Jimmy said “of cour you don’t” lmfao bc idk if I’d even turn him down if I had one!

I had a really bad period of back to back migraines for a couple months and this is what my brain rewarded me with in between one. I really don’t know what this is yall lol so don’t ask idk if I’m actually happy with it but yea lol

I put x reader but idk I guess it can tell be read that way, I don’t have the energy to re write it y’all so

now that I’m starting to feel better I will be catching up on my other wips.

if you like it, love it, fuck with it leave some love. I DO NOT give permission for my shit to be used anywhere by anyone.

🤕

Don’t focus on the pain, don’t focus on the pain she repeated over and over again in her head from under the safety of the soft cool cotton comforter as if it would keep away the pounding pain, protect her from it. 

It would not. 

Even with the house dead silent, the fan on for a little noise and all the black out curtains drawn that her boyfriend insisted he buy when he learned about her diagnosis from childhood- she knew relief would not find her. She shifted trying to readjust and find a more comfortable position to lay in, the little pocket above her head letting much needed cool air into her little bubble. 

She knew a few weeks ago she should have reached out to her neurologist but she’d just been so busy it kept slipping her mind and the aspirin had been holding her over but this? no this one was a monster and it was full peak right now. It started almost a day ago after the LA screening for The Bikeriders and had not gone away.

It didn’t help that they also just got back from the UK press tour. All the flying, the red carpets, the flashing lights and noise was starting to take its toll. Recently her boyfriend of just a little over a year revealed to her how much he enjoyed having her accompany him and how he loves sharing those moment with her. Hence all the traveling she’d done recently at his side. 

They still believed in healthy space but they truly enjoyed being together as much as they could. 

Usually she’d fly out every 2 or so weeks to wherever he was since her job was more flexible, their relationship was long distance since she was still living in New York. Which they’d also discussed changing that status but they both agreed to iron out the plans once the tour was over and he had a few weeks of down time. They figured the actual move would happen after he filmed in NY the end of summer. Knowing summer was her favorite time to be home, ever the thoughtful boyfriend. 

Though she was nervous to tell her family. They adored Austin but they’re a very close family and not seeing them everyday would take a lot of time to adjust to but it was important at this point in their relationship to actually be together. He even mentioned he’d love to look for a New York apartment which she had thought was unnecessary they could just stay with any of her family members when they visited until he reminded her she wouldn’t want her family to know she was his pretty girl who got cock drunk and loud when he fuck her stupid. Yes their own place was necessary. 

She felt a sharp pain at her temple and groaned. It was like her brain was telling her to stop thinking about all the stress and think about the pain she was in, which she didn’t want to do either honestly. She wish she could sleep it off but it was impossible. 

She flipped her pillow to the cool side and once again tried to empty her brain. Deep breaths girl deep breaths, the pain isn’t forever. 

She heard the front door slam shut up, which made her curl up even more in a fetal position and the deep smooth voice of her favorite person calling out to her. That voice was her favorite in the whole world but right now she needed silence. She had hoped the migraine would have been over by the time he got back but she wasn’t so lucky. Now she would have to face the music.

She had been telling him the past couple weeks it was just little headaches nothing serious, he knew she got migraines but hadn’t experienced any with her so far. The past 2 years she hadn’t needed to be medicated, the doctor couldn’t tell her why they suddenly stoped and why she was only getting little headaches every once in a while. This is why she was so unprepared and completely out of her medication she hadn’t needed in so long; she truly thought they had finally stopped for good. 

She couldn’t have been more wrong with the pain that was throbbing in her head. The front of her skull a constant ache and the back at the base of her skull and neck a wicked throbbing. The pain in her neck and shoulders unbearable even right between her eyes a sharp pain. She felt like she was dying. The fatigue of the attack her body was under was starting to catch up to her. She was trying to hold back the tears but the sound of boots pounding up the stairs along with the call of baby had her on the verge of a tearful melt down. 

She wanted to avoid the conversation that would surely come after this, when he would witness her in a peak migraine state. She felt horrible because she knew he’d feel like it was his fault for encouraging her to come with him to all the press events but it wasn’t his fault. 

She was an adult and she should have addressed this weeks ago with him and her doctor when the headaches started and not try to hide it to avoid worrying him. 

She should have been honest and though she has no reason to be she was scared to tell him.  She was scared he may think she wasn’t able to handle this kind of life. What if he wanted someone who didn’t need to recharge so often? Or someone who could just do anything with him at anytime not be laying in a bed sometimes for more then a day in pain and grumpy. Someone who couldn’t be touched in this state or be the prefect girlfriend. 

She also knew she sounded ridiculous that wasn’t who Austin was but it didn’t stop the insecurity she had about her migraines and how they held her back from life sometimes. Held her back from being fully emerged into his lifestyle. The guilt wrecked her. 

She knew she was mostly feeling insecure about her migraines because of those comments. She wasn’t normally insecure but recently she had read some comments which usually don’t bother her, about her and Austin’s relationship and how unhappy she looked being on press tour and if she was so unhappy why not just leave so he could be with someone who was happier with him. Those people obviously ignored the photos that were not taking at events that showed how happy they were but not knowing or they probably didn’t care she couldn’t be happier than she was, she was just suffering from more frequent migraines. 

So of course they’d focus on the bad, not all the fans but some. A lot of fans, who she felt were real fans could simply see how happy Austin seemed again. She knew how that felt, she met Austin as a fan and all his relationships and flings after Vanessa seemed lackluster and without any real connection, so she got it. But some of the comments were really getting to her at this moment. Especially the ones about how he looked happier with Kaia (which she knew was a lie from hell, she heard all about that relationship from Austin, his last ex) and then the ones about Vanessa looking happy ALL the time, which was funny because Austin spoke to her about their relationship also and if fans only knew it wasn’t always perfect, yes they loved each other but still there was a lot of hurt in that relationship for Austin. 

Then when those things would pop up she’d think what she’d say to her mans ex’s if she ever met them or if she’d just ignore them. 

Her head throbbed hard from all the unnecessary thinking and stress she was bringing onto herself, things she normal never paid any mind when the bedroom door swung open. 

Baby? He called again, steps coming to a slow stop halfway into the room when she assumed he noticed the state of the room; all the curtains drawn, the TV and lights all off, no noise but the fan she placed near the bed even though the central air was on and the pile of blankets on the bed covering her balled up body. Not a single part of her visible as she quickly stuck her hand out the air pocket at by her head careful to not let any light in and weakly waved at him. She could hardly speak let alone move her head to acknowledge him anymore. 

“Baby you still in bed? It’s 10” He asked as he walked closer, not that he cared it was just unusual for her and caused a bit of concern to form in the pit of stomach. 

He watched the head or he’s assuming area of the blanket shake in a yes motion. Even with the black out curtains there was still just enough light to make out everything in the room. 

“Baby what’s wrong” he asked in a soft voice from the edge of the bed, his hand running gently up and down some part of her body under the blanket. Her body coiled away from his touch. He tried to shake away the slight sting it caused him.

“uh migraine” she whispered weakly, if he wasn’t mistaken he could hear the underlying embarrassment in her tone. What could she be embarrassed about? 

“Oh shit baby, you need anything? Anything I can do?” He genuinely asked in gentler tone, though she couldn’t see how his eyes soften knowing she was probably in an immense amount of pain. 

He felt useless. 

“Uh no, just gotta be left alone for a while” this time there wasn’t any embarrassment in her tone just guilt. 

Austin tried to school his own face and tone of disappointment. He know he couldn’t do anything truly to make it go way but he wanted to help, wanted to be there for her like she’d been there for him on all his overwhelming days and nights from filming and traveling. His sweet girl deserved that. Then he thought back to this one thing he’d came across when he was reading online about migraines when she first told him she got them pretty frequently in the past. He quickly dismissed that idea, a slight blush creeping up his neck, he felt a little embarrassed himself for even thinking to suggest that, who says that to their partner Austin? He thought. She clearly needed to be alone. 

“Ok I’m just head downstairs then, call me if you need anything”  

He took another moment eyeing her blanket fortress before turning and slowly heading Towards their bedroom door.

“Austin?” He heard her call shyly, her voice still muffled from the layers covering her.

“Yea?” His own tone was laced with curiosity.

“Uh…there…there is one thing you could probably do for me…if you don’t mind..if you do it’s ok-“ 

He was quick to be at her side, slipping out his shoes, ready for whatever. His stomach burned a little thinking she may ask what he thought of just briefly a moment ago.

“Anything” 

He watched her baby blue fresh set of nails slip from under the blanket and her hand reaching out for his. His own large hand was in hers before he even registered it moving. She tugged him lightly, his body following gently. He was careful not to touch her as he laid next to her, his chest near where her head was, he remembered her saying how she didn’t like to be touched when she was having an episode, everything felt more intense and for some reason it usually amplified the pain. 

“Can I use your hand for a while?” She asked shyly still under the safety of the blankets, he could hear her clearer through the hole she left at the top. 

He felt guilty at the blood that rushed his cock.

“Of course” He said squeezing the right hand that held his left one. 

He allowed her to maneuver his hand so that his left hand was under her head, she placed his fingers at the base of her skull, thumb on one side and his fore finger and pointer finger on the left side.

“Can you keep your fingers like this and apply as much pressure as you can? This are some of my pain points and the right kind of pressure can ease the pain a little, usually I tie a scarf but it isn’t always helpful” she mumbled weakly. 

He was confused. 

“Oh ok..I..I thought-“ 

This wasn’t something he read, though he seen something about heat compress. He was confused because he thought she was going to ask for his hand to give her an orgasm. That was something interesting that he had came across. It said it didn’t work for everyone hence why he was slightly embarrassed to suggest it, he didn’t want her to think he was only thinking with his dick. 

He applied the pressure anyway, happy to help anyway he could.

“Is that good baby?”

“You can press a bit harder” 

He did as she said, feeling her body adjust just the tiniest bit next to him. A soft sigh leaving her lips.

She soft voice thanked him. He hummed a response, his own body adjusting slightly to get more comfortable.  He would lay here as long as she needed.

After a few minutes of comfortable silence, she called his name.

“Yea?” He asked feeling more tired himself than what he thought he was when he got home.

“What were you going to say? When I asked for your hand?” She replied softly voice full of the need for sleep.

His felt that fire and a blush come back. He chuckled to himself. Now was good as anytime to confess his unconventional suggest and figure out if it was something helpful to her or if it was something she even heard of before. 

“Uh..I..I had been reading about migraines when you first told me you got them, trying to understand them better-“ He was cut off by a whimper she made, a pitiful sound of endearment. He knew what she was thinking, she was taken back by his willingness to be there for her however he could and that meant trying to understand what she would be going through. He kept going. “And I was reading how orgasms can sometimes help temporarily, but I didn’t want you to think I was just thinking with my dick” he concluded softly. Feeling better about just getting it out and in the open, it didn’t feel so dirty anymore, like he was taking advantage somehow. He knew her better than to think she would think that but it didn’t stop his insecurities about the topic. 

He felt her body stilled.

shit was she mad at him? He felt the slight unease creep into his stomach and his insecurities intensify at the thought that she would be mad at him for suggesting such a thing when he noticed her right hand slip from under the covers. 

Her soft palm facing up and open in a silent question and permission, are you still willing? And of course you can touch me. 

He let go of the breath he didn’t know he was holding and gave her his right hand, her soft fingers gently pulled his under the covers, her forearm resting ontop of his own as she slipped his hand under hers to be guided where he couldn’t see. Once his rough fingers tips ghosted over her wet pussy he didn’t need anymore guidance, he knew her too well, maybe better than she knew herself. 

She gasped at the first touch and her hand left his to grip his forearm, as he’d started to explore her wet folds.

“How are you this wet already sweet girl? Hmm? Just can’t help yourself around daddy?” Austin questioned softly from above her, awe clear in his voice. He stayed laid on his left side, careful his body other than his hands didn’t touch her. 

“Fuck” she groaned quietly from under the blankets. “Guess��my body always needs you daddy” she moaned out. He groaned as his fingers applied more pressure and speed. 

He felt the twitch in cock as she coated his fingers and moaned softly and weakly. His fingers switching between slow and quick. He was so painfully hard. He had to stay focus this was about her but how could he when her tight wet warm pussy was calling him? Begging for him. Her body was hardly moving just her hips grinding slowly into him.

Even fully covered by a ton of blankets he was still completely in-tune with her body. He didn’t need to see her face though he wished he could to kiss her soft lips, to know the pleasure he was giving her, to know she was close. 

He blindly felt the warmth and wetness of her pussy driving into his hand slowly chasing the pleasure he was somehow able to provide in this state.

“Cum for me pretty girl, take it” he groaned lowly.

She moaned out, she sounded so exhausted and pitiful but he could tell she wanted this, needed it and he was more than happy to give it to her. 

She squealed softly as she rocked against his hand, her body exploding and the sweetness of her drenching his fingers, her face seeking the comfort of his embrace under the blanket, he moved over slightly as his left hand still pressed to the pain points guided her, help her her blanket covered forehead lay against his chest. Her hips kept rocking slowly chasing the feeling.

“There you go baby” his husky voice praised even with a migraine she was still his good girl. So wet and warm and tight for him.

Moments passed with his fingers still cupping her warm sticky folds and the other still applying the pressure she required, neither hand moved as he felt her drift of to sleep, her body finally relaxing from the endorphins of her orgasm. 

Austin woke to the press of a soft warm body slightly on top of his and light kisses and licks against his neck. He stirred and tried to adjust his eyesight to the darkness that had over taking the room. It must be late.

“Hey baby” her voice sounded softly, her lips suddenly near his own. She kissed his plump mouth, pecking kisses over and over. She sounded a lot better.

His arms moved to embrace her, pulling her further ontop of him and as close as he could get her. 

“Hey baby” he replied his eyes seeking hers. The dimmed light from the hallway allowed him to finally see her. Though he didn’t physically see her face earlier, he knew she looked more well rested than she had in the past day or two. Her eyes had a fatigue to them but he was sure that would clear up from the migraine once she got some more rest. All and all she almost looked back to her normal self. 

Her hand snaked up his chest to cup his face.

“Thank you, for everything” she told him a little emotionally.

He brought his lips to her for a passionate kiss, before laying his foreheads on hers.

“You don’t ever have to thank me, I’m yours, that’s what I’m here for, to take care of you” he whispered against her lips.

She pecked his again. 

“And I’m still going to say thank you” she mumbled.

He pinched her side playfully as she laughed and pushed at him.

They just gazed at one another and she had to blink to stop the tears. She had woke to Austin on his back, her body against his. She had unconsciously sought his while she slept as the tension faded from her body and to her surprise his hand was still gripping the back of her head. The pressure had loosed when he eventually fell asleep but his hand was still there nonetheless. She didn’t think she could love the man more and here she was slipping further in the ocean that was Austin and some how she was learning she could breathe underwater. He was everything to her.

“I have a surprise for you sweet boy” she said smiling at him like he hung the moon and she’d die on that hill that he did.

Austin’s chest ached in a good way. He never wanted this to end. Couldn’t imagine it being any other way. Everything that had failed for him relationship wise lead him to this moment with her. He was better for it. 

“Hmm, what’s that?” 

She nodded her head to the side of him and that’s when he noticed the en-suite bathroom door open and the soft glow of candles burning. The scent of oils and salts hitting him. He quickly turned back to her.

“Wh-“ 

“You were knocked out and I wanted to return the love” 

“You little sneak” he accused tickling her sides.

She was quick to scramble away from his hold and climb over him getting to her feet and out of his grasp when his hands followed her as she head toward the bathroom.

She stopped short of the door as she pulled her oversize graphic shirt over her head. 

“I would do that you know, sometimes, never with men though, I hated being touched during my migraines but when it was really bad and I had the energy I would do it myself to help ease the pain” she spoke from the doorway to the bathroom, the soft light surrounding her body, giving a even more beautiful glow to her brown skin. “I didn’t think it would ever work from someone else’s hand, not too sure what that means handsome” she smirked.

So she had done that before he thought but just never with man, no man had ever made her comfortable enough to try let alone achieve bringing her relief. Austin felt those butterflies in this stomach again, he felt a sense a pride swell in his chest. His cock was even stirring again. That’s exactly who he wanted to be for her, the man that gave what she needed, what others couldn’t, he wanted to be the one no other man could compare to. He wanted to be her all.

She smirked at him almost as if she could read his every thought and she could because they mirror her own and how she felt about him.

“Lets go loverboy, it’s time for the real show”

Best Friends Share Everything || Carlando

Pairing: boyfriend!Lando Norris x fem!reader x Carlos Sainz Jr Summary: Blame the jet lag or blame the small couch but proximity makes for strange happenings on a late night with your boyfriend and his best friend. Warnings: 18+ only, nsfw, no actual smut - just build up WC: 1.5k F1 Masterlist

Your head was resting on Lando’s lap while he watched whatever movie it was that he chose to calm his jet lag. He had slept for most of the flight back from Australia and now he couldn’t sleep despite the late hour. You were more interested in dozing periodically and enjoying the back rubs he unknowingly gave you every time the action scenes ramped up. 

“Hey mate, you’re up late,” he greeted Carlos and you opened your eyes to see him stumbling into the room with a yawn.

“No puedo dormir,” he grumbled, as you curled your legs up before he dropped heavily into the space he had claimed as his seat.

“Can’t sleep,” you translated since the only Spanish your boyfriend knew was ‘I’m a lake’ and ‘sorry’. And he only knew sorry so he could apologise when he butchered the language.

“I swear it’s getting worse,” Lando commiserated with a nod. “If I go to sleep now I��ll pay for it tomorrow.”

The jet lag from constant travelling you could handle, but what you were struggling with was space on the three seater couch. You didn’t want to have to sit up since you were more comfortably lying down, so you stretched your legs back out, popping them down on Carlos’ lap.

“Can you please tuck me in?” you asked as you wiggled your toes. The blanket hadn’t moved with your feet and so the cool air was kissing them and making your entire body cold.

“That’s a job for your boyfriend,” he joked before pulling the blanket over his lap so he could steal the warmth too.

“Eh,” Lando shrugged, his eyes glued to the tv as he waved a hand in his direction. “Best friend’s share everything, I’m sure you can manage that.”

The words were purposeful and you frowned at the familiarity of them, like you had heard them somewhere but since forgotten.

“¿Todo?” Carlos chuckled, grabbing your foot that had shifted on his lap when you wriggled to get comfortable. You lifted your head to look at the Spaniard and met his dark eyes as he started to massage you, his thumbs working deep into your sole until a low sound escaped your lips.

“Shh, babe,” Lando hushed as he grabbed your head and laid it back down on his lap, his fingers idling brushing the column of your neck.

You bit your lip but it wasn’t long before you couldn’t help the sounds slipping through. Lando could probably feel your pulse speeding up beneath his fingers as Carlos’ massage began to glide up your ankle. 

“Baby,” Lando murmured quietly as he placed one hand over your mouth, his thumb stroking your cheek, and the other grabbed the remote, increasing the volume on the tv. 

You should have done something, said something, when his hands reached your calves but they felt good as they eased the tension from a weekend spent on your feet in Lando’s garage. 

Your eyes closed as you tried to remain quiet and impassive but your body was screaming for more and your legs parted unconsciously when he reached the underside of your knee. Your eyes flew open as you felt Carlos rearrange the blanket and the adjustment caused your foot to brush a very hard body part trapped by the thin silk boxers he had gone to bed in.

“¿Qué?” he asked innocently, his eyes anything but innocent.

 You shook your head and relaxed back onto Lando’s thighs as you lost all ability to think clearly but the air in your chest froze. Lando froze too, not daring to even breathe as you rolled your eyes to look up at your boyfriend, both of you knowing exactly what you felt. 

Lando tried to look coy but his dilated eyes were fixated on your lips and his fingers trailed over your collar before following the swell of your breasts and disappearing under the blanket.

“Lan…” you whispered as the pad of his thumb found your peaked nipple and Carlos’ palm warmed the soft skin of your inner thigh. “What are you doing?”

“Want me to stop?” he whispered back, before pressing his lips together to hide his smile when you quickly shook your head. “Then keep quiet, baby.”

His eyes returned to the movie but his attention remained on you and how you started to squirm with his touch, and soon he stopped pretending otherwise. The blanket slipped down your body as he pulled your camisole aside and the cold air sent a shiver down your spine. 

“Lan,” you gasped as you tried to cover yourself, but he chuckled as he rolled your nipple between his thumb and forefinger, the sound turning to a needy whine. “Let’s go to bed.”

“I’m not tired,” he chuckled before looking over at Carlos whose hand was dangerously close to the lace edge of your panties. “Are you?”

“Not anymore.” Carlos’ tongue peeked out as he watched your bare breast rise and fall with your quick breaths, your eyes tracing it as it rolled across his lips, and an intrusive thought soon followed. You wondered how those full lips would feel against yours, if they were as soft as they looked, what pleasure they could bring.

“Do you really want to go to bed, love?” Lando asked, his eyes finding the lump under the blanket where Carlos’ hand rested. Carlos’ fingers dug into your skin like he was fighting the urge to close the distance to the second heartbeat that had started to throb in your core, the place you wanted him to reach.

“No,” you admitted quietly, closing your eyes as you felt guilty for even thinking about his best friend the way you were in that moment. It wasn’t the first time you had thought about the Spanish racer, you weren’t immune to the handsome men Lando called his friends, but it was certainly the most intense feeling.

“Do you want us to stop?” he asked, your eyes snapping up to him.

"Us?"

Lando’s chuckle harmonised with Carlos’ deeper one and they shared a look over you. “You get so vocal when you are drunk, baby. Best friends share everything, Lando.”

Your eyes widened as the night Barcelona came back to you and he ran his thumb over your lips still parted with surprise and shock. 

It had started off with an innocuous question about what he told his friends when it was just the boys after he had overheard you talking with your girlfriends - explicitly. He had wondered what else you shared with them and you said ‘Best friends share everything, Lando. You do the same with Carlos’.

“Not everything, love,” he teased as he helped you undress in your intoxicated state. “We haven’t shared you.”

“Well you could,” you joked, collapsing naked on the bed as the room spun. “I love you and there is no one sexier than you, but he’s very good looking.”

You had passed out pretty quickly after that and hadn’t remembered the conversation in the morning.

The temperature seemed to swell as Lando’s thumb drew your lip down and he waited to see how you would react. You wanted the blanket gone, you needed the air to cool enough to breathe again, but your body reacted for you, your tongue catching his thumb and sucking it into your mouth until he moaned at the tight seal he knew felt heavenly around his dick.

The sound went straight to your core and you squirmed as fire ignited in your blood at the prospect of Lando sharing you with his best friend.

“Do you want us to stop?” he asked again as he palmed himself, needing some friction in its hard state. 

You broke away from his face to look at Carlos, but you could still see the flush to his cheeks and the hunger in his eyes. It was almost impossible to see the brown rings around his dilated pupils and you noticed his bare chest rose faster than before as his biceps tensed, like it was taking all his strength to remain still.

You dragged your tongue up Lando’s thumb and swirled it around the tip before whispering, “No, please, don’t stop.”

The pretence of patience was gone, the moment of stillness shattered, and the blanket was whipped away from your body. The thin camisole you wore did little to hide what lay beneath, not after what Lando had done and when it had already ridden high up your thighs, and Carlos released a shuddering breath at the sight of your panties, a damp patch clearly noticeable. 

“Estás divina,” he praised as he shifted in the seat, parting your legs so he could settle between them. “You are a lucky man, Lan.”

“I know.”

You forced yourself to check on your boyfriend and the reservation you had felt melted away as you saw the pride in his smile, the smugness of knowing you were still his no matter what Carlos got to have a taste of tonight.

get a room

pairing: jaehyun x afab!reader

prologue: there is no scope peace and privacy while travelling in the peak season, perhaps getting stuck in the elevator with jaehyun could bring you some luck

genre: smut + established relationship!au

wordcount: 1022

warnings: sexual content [ make out + fingering + moaning +  grinding + mirror sex + getting caught? ]

As soon as you stepped inside the elevator, all of the hubbub, including the shouting, screaming and screeching of the little children that you thought were annoying came to an immediate end offering you with one of the most peaceful seconds you would have had through the last week. Not even the private suite of the hotel could provide this level of a solace. You knew you were going to regret it later when you booked the tickets for the busiest tourist season, but it was what it was.

"Finally!" You exhaled a sigh of relief, stretching your arms, as your fiancé on the other side of the elevator gave you a soft grin before pressing one of the buttons.

"It's actually peaceful." Jaehyun was the type to enjoy the calm, he did not say much, immersed in the little moment while the usual jazz music played in the background.

You could swear it would have barely moved a floor or two when a sudden loud thud was heard, and in the blink of an eye everything went black, except for the neon emergency lights.

"Oh fuck!" He cursed under his breath as he naturally moved closer to you, concerned.

"Looks like we'll be stuck for a while." You implied, crossing your arms. Signs of concerns were no where to be found on your part, neither in your body language, nor your words.

"Right." He hummed.

Your hand swiftly drew closer to Jaehyun's chest as it ran softly and delicately across it.

Your unexpected action surprised him. "Baby?" He inquired with his soft voice.

"Yeah?" Whereas yours was sultry, just like your stare, which was firmly set on his.

"Maybe we shouldn't do it here." He recommended, attempting to take hold of your hand and cease the movements that were gradually going to drive him insane.

"Why not?" You began to undo the buttons of his shirt one by one, slowly, without a single utterance of words as he only watched, a not so innocent emotion visible through his transparent eyes.

A pink tint took over Jaehyun's face and ears. He was shy, or pretending to be.

"We've been together for six years, you don't have to be shy." You said boldly, now touching his bare torso as you took a step backwards to use his shirt as a cover up for the security camera.

After a brief period of adjustment, you switched your attention back to him. "They won't see us now." Reassuring him, even though you were not the type to care about such things in the first place.

Jaehyun stood dumbfounded, and shirtless, revealing his toned muscles. You pulled him closer, making him wrap his hands around you, guiding them to trace the rest of your skin.

As slowly as he could, he began kissing you, every few seconds he would tilt his head to the opposite side. Your hands roamed around his body as he did and you let out a moan each time his tongue did the magic.

"Just marry me already." Jaehyun commented at the sight of the ring on your fourth finger, which sparkled in the near absent lights. 

"Hmmmm!" Another moan as you dragged his hand up your ass, making him feel every inch of your body through the light fabric of your dress. 

The smirk placed on his lips couldn't not conceal the fact that he was enjoying it just as much, and boy did he love when you took control. Jaehyun was also the type to only act innocent.

"No panties?" He whispered in his rasp, low voice next to your ears, sending shivers down your core, starting to touch and caress it and making your heart rate go up instantly.

Not too different from his, your hands reached below his belt, toying with the zipper of his pants. You could already feel how needy he was.

"Not here baby." He cooed. "Don't wanna make a mess, do you?" Moving his hand faster this time, he loved teasing you.

"Please, just once." You pleaded, looking at him with one very needy look in your eyes like that of a kitten, the ones you know he could never turn down.

He hummed again, and he turned you around to face the mirrored walls of the elevator, standing behind you, wrapping his arm around your neck as he rested his face on your shoulder.

"This feels dirty." He went on, almost inaudible.

"Because it is." You reply was shut by another moan, for he started placing sloppy kisses on the back of your neck.

Six years, he had memorised your body by the heart.

It drove you wild when he pressed his clothed crotch on the back of your hips and started to grind, maintaining eye contact through the mirror. Two pairs of eyes filled with the same leer. 

"Hurry up!" You whined out of impatience. The adrenaline acted more of a turn-on when you knew it would not take long for the maintenance to reach for help.

"Wait for it, my love." Jaehyun murmured again.

This time around, another noise was heard, a different one as the bright white lights turned on again.

Jaehyun was quick to pull your dress down, stepping back, beads of sweat tracing down his forehead.

Not a second later, the door was opened, revealing three people for help and a bunch of other guests. You sighed internally, Jaehyun's timing was perfect. 

The people in front of you started to babble words out, in a language you could not understand, but their expressions suggested their thoughts weren't noble. 

You tucked your hair behind your ear and looked at him. "Don't forget your shirt." 

He quickly nodded, grabbing his cloth, carrying it in his hands instead of putting it on, brushing his hand through his hair, following you outside the elevator, unapologetic. 

"Where else can we even act wild if not in places where nobody knows us?" You remarked as you walked through the lobby.

"True." Jaehyun still wore that sensual smile, his brain filled with filthy things that he'd do once the two of you would get a room.

The Science of Circadian Rhythm-Adapted Eating: Optimizing Metabolism, Health Span, and Longevity

by UEVS and the creative power of AI

Dr. Elana, always on the quest to enhance her physical and mental capabilities, has recently turned her focus towards optimizing her body's natural processes through circadian rhythm-adapted eating. Intrigued by the potential to harmonize her eating patterns with her body's internal clock, she begins to explore how this method could improve her metabolism, extend her health span, and promote longevity.

Her journey starts with a consultation with Dr. Sia Patel, a renowned expert in nutritional science and chronobiology, while she is still in Rishikesh, deepening her practice in Ashtanga Yoga and learning about ancient health traditions. Dr. Patel explains that aligning meal times with the circadian rhythm can enhance metabolic efficiency, reduce inflammation, and support the body's natural repair mechanisms. She elaborates that circadian rhythm-adapted eating, also known as time-restricted eating, is a dietary strategy that aligns meal times with the body's natural cycles, primarily influenced by the light-dark cycle. By consuming food during periods when the body is most biologically prepared to digest and metabolize nutrients—typically during daylight hours—one can optimize insulin sensitivity, regulate blood sugar levels, and reduce the risk of metabolic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

Fascinated by this, Elana delves deeper into the mechanisms of senescence and autophagy, two critical cellular processes that influence aging and regeneration. Senescence refers to the state in which cells lose their ability to divide and function properly, often leading to inflammation and tissue dysfunction. Autophagy, on the other hand, is the body's process of recycling damaged cellular components, clearing out waste, and maintaining cellular integrity. These mechanisms are key to longevity, as promoting autophagy while minimizing the accumulation of senescent cells can enhance tissue repair, reduce the risk of age-related diseases, and improve overall vitality. Dr. Patel shares cutting-edge research on how timed eating not only delays the onset of cellular senescence but also activates autophagy, the body's way of cleaning out damaged cells, which can prevent various diseases and prolong cell health. She explains that by limiting food intake to a specific window—often an 8 to 12-hour period during the daytime—this eating pattern can stimulate autophagy, reduce cellular stress, and lower the risk of chronic diseases. Furthermore, aligning eating patterns with circadian rhythms can help maintain a healthy weight, improve sleep quality, and increase overall vitality.

Motivated by this knowledge, Elana begins to experiment with her own eating schedule, choosing to eat during specific windows of the day that align with peak metabolic activities. She documents her findings, planning to share these insights through an upcoming UEVS lecture. This lecture aims to enlighten students and colleagues about the potential of circadian-adapted eating to not just extend life but enhance its quality.

As Elana adjusts her lifestyle, she notices significant improvements in her energy levels and mental clarity. These personal changes reinforce her belief in the power of aligning daily habits with natural biological rhythms. Her next step is to integrate these practices into a broader curriculum at UEVS, aiming to pioneer a new wave of health optimization based on ancient wisdom and modern science. This initiative promises to prepare her students not only for longevity but also for high-stress environments, such as space travel and deep-sea exploration, where efficient body function is critical.

Dr. Elana's exploration into circadian rhythm-adapted eating, senescence, and autophagy not only transforms her own health but also sets the stage for a new era of integrative health practices at UEVS, blending the lines between daily living and optimal wellness.

8 Hot Water System Energy-Saving Tips for Budget-Conscious Homeowners

Hot water is an essential part of modern living. From warm showers to cleaning and cooking, we rely on our hot water systems Coffs Harbour daily. However, this convenience comes at a cost—heating water is one of the largest energy expenses for most households, often accounting for 20–30% of the total energy bill. For budget-conscious homeowners, finding ways to make hot water usage more energy-efficient can lead to significant savings without sacrificing comfort or convenience. The good news is that reducing energy consumption doesn’t require drastic lifestyle changes or costly upgrades. With a few simple adjustments, smarter usage habits, and regular system maintenance, you can enjoy a steady supply of hot water while keeping your energy bills in check. Whether you’re looking to make small improvements or invest in long-term solutions, there are strategies to fit every budget and household need. 1. Install a Timer for Your Hot Water System

Most households don’t need hot water 24/7, yet many systems operate around the clock. Installing a timer is a simple and cost-effective solution that allows you to control when your system heats water. For example, you can set the timer to heat water just before peak usage periods, such as early mornings or evenings. This prevents unnecessary energy usage during the day or night when hot water isn’t needed.

Pro Tip: If your hot water system doesn’t support a built-in timer, a plug-in timer for your system’s power supply can work just as effectively. 2. Lower the Thermostat for Efficiency

Many water heaters come preset at higher temperatures—sometimes as high as 75°C (167°F). This is unnecessary for most households and results in wasted energy. Adjusting the thermostat to 50–60°C (120–140°F) ensures sufficient heat while reducing energy costs.

Why This Works: Every 10°C reduction in water temperature can save up to 5% on your energy bill. Additionally, maintaining a lower temperature can prolong the life of your system by reducing wear and tear on internal components. 3. Upgrade to a High-Efficiency Hot Water System

If your current water heater is outdated or inefficient, it might be time to consider an upgrade. Modern systems, such as heat pump water heaters, tankless (on-demand) systems, or solar hot water systems, are designed to use less energy while delivering consistent performance.

Key Benefits:

Heat pump water heaters draw heat from the air, using up to 60% less electricity than traditional systems.

Solar hot water systems harness renewable energy from the sun, which can drastically cut your energy bills in the long term.

While the initial investment may seem steep, many homeowners find that rebates, government incentives, and energy savings make these upgrades worthwhile over time. 4. Use Insulation to Prevent Heat Loss

Did you know that heat loss from your water heater and pipes can cause your system to work overtime? Insulating your tank and exposed pipes is a simple DIY project that can save energy.

Steps to Take:

Wrap the hot water tank with an insulation blanket, available at most hardware stores.

Insulate hot water pipes with foam pipe sleeves to maintain water temperature as it travels through the system.

Bonus: Insulation also helps in colder months by preventing your system from overcompensating for heat loss. 5. Fix Leaky Taps Promptly

A single leaky hot water tap can waste thousands of litres of water annually, which also means wasted energy. Not only is this bad for your utility bill, but it’s also bad for the environment.

Action Plan:

Regularly check all taps and faucets in your home for leaks.

Address any leaks immediately, even if they seem minor.

If you’re unsure how to fix a leak, consult a plumber or look up simple repair guides for your faucet type. 6. Limit Shower Time and Use Low-Flow Fixtures

Hot water usage in showers accounts for a significant portion of your energy bill. By reducing the duration of showers and installing low-flow showerheads, you can achieve significant savings.

Energy-Saving Tips for Showers:

Aim for showers that are 5–7 minutes long.

Install a low-flow showerhead, which uses air to maintain water pressure while reducing water flow.

Consider shower timers or smart devices that monitor and alert you when it’s time to turn off the water.

These adjustments may seem small, but when applied consistently, they can add up to noticeable savings. 7. Take Advantage of Off-Peak Electricity Rates

Many electricity providers offer off-peak pricing during specific hours, such as late at night or early in the morning. If you have an electric hot water system, scheduling it to operate during these times can lead to substantial savings.

How to Get Started:

Check with your electricity provider to see if you’re eligible for off-peak rates.

Program your system (or use a timer) to operate during off-peak hours.

Consider pairing this tip with a storage tank system to ensure hot water is available throughout the day.

8. Conduct Regular Maintenance

Keeping your hot water system in good condition ensures it runs efficiently and lasts longer. Neglecting maintenance can lead to energy waste, increased costs, and expensive repairs down the road.

Maintenance Checklist:

Flush the tank annually: Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank reduces efficiency. Draining and flushing it out restores performance.

Check the pressure relief valve: This safety feature ensures your tank operates within safe pressure levels. Replace it if it’s faulty.

Inspect for rust or damage: Visible signs of wear may indicate it’s time for repairs or replacement.

By keeping your system well-maintained, you’ll not only save money but also extend its lifespan, delaying the need for costly replacements. Bonus Tip: Use Cold Water Where Possible

While hot water is necessary for some tasks, others don’t require it. Washing clothes in cold water, for instance, is just as effective for most loads and eliminates the energy used for heating. Similarly, rinsing dishes with cold water before placing them in the dishwasher can also cut down on hot water usage. Managing your hot water system effectively is one of the most impactful ways to save money and reduce your environmental footprint. From simple adjustments like fixing leaks and insulating pipes to more significant investments in efficient systems, every step helps.

Why Mid-Term Rentals Are a Great Investment

The rental market has evolved significantly over the past decade, and mid-term rentals are emerging as a popular and lucrative option for property owners. Positioned between short-term vacation rentals and traditional long-term leases, mid-term rentals—typically lasting one to six months—offer unique benefits for both landlords and tenants. Here’s why mid-term rentals are worth considering:

1. Steady Income with Less Turnover

One of the most appealing aspects of mid-term rentals is their ability to provide a steady income stream while minimizing tenant turnover. Unlike short-term rentals, which require frequent guest management, mid-term rentals reduce the workload with longer stays, ensuring a more stable cash flow.

2. High Demand from a Growing Market

Mid-term rentals cater to a wide range of renters, including traveling professionals, digital nomads, families relocating, and students on internships. With remote work and flexible living arrangements becoming more common, the demand for furnished, flexible rental options has surged, creating a robust market for mid-term rentals.

3. Flexibility for Property Owners

For landlords who want to retain flexibility with their properties, mid-term rentals are an excellent option. They provide more freedom to adjust rental terms, and rates, or even take the property off the market for personal use, compared to the rigid structure of long-term leases.

4. Fewer Maintenance and Management Hassles

Short-term rentals often require intensive management, from frequent cleanings to constant guest communication. Mid-term rentals strike a balance by offering longer stays with fewer turnovers, meaning less wear and tear on your property and reduced maintenance efforts.

5. Premium Pricing Compared to Long-Term Rentals

Mid-term rentals often command higher rental rates than traditional long-term leases. Tenants are willing to pay a premium for furnished, move-in-ready properties with flexible lease terms, allowing landlords to maximize their revenue potential.

6. Cater to Professionals and Relocators

Traveling nurses, corporate employees on temporary assignments, and individuals relocating to a new city frequently seek mid-term rental options. These tenants are typically reliable, professional, and willing to pay for a hassle-free living experience, making them an ideal target audience.

7. Furnished Rentals Add Value

Mid-term rentals are often furnished, which adds value for tenants who don’t want the burden of moving furniture or purchasing new items for a short stay. Property owners can charge higher rates for furnished rentals while also making the property more appealing to a broader range of tenants.

8. Legal and Regulatory Advantages

In many areas, short-term rentals are subject to strict regulations or require special permits. Mid-term rentals often fall outside these restrictions, offering a more straightforward option for landlords to generate income without navigating complex legal requirements.

9. Build Stronger Tenant Relationships

Mid-term rentals provide an opportunity to foster stronger relationships with tenants compared to short-term guests. Longer stays often mean better communication and a deeper understanding of tenant needs, leading to a more positive rental experience for both parties.

10. Perfect for Seasonal Demand

If your property is located in an area with seasonal appeal—such as near universities, hospitals, or business hubs—mid-term rentals can help you capitalize on fluctuating demand. You can cater to specific groups during peak seasons while leaving room for flexibility during off-peak periods.

Final Thoughts

Mid-term rentals offer the perfect blend of profitability, flexibility, and reduced management hassle. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a first-time landlord, incorporating mid-term rental properties into your portfolio can help you diversify your income streams while meeting the evolving needs of modern renters.

If you’re ready to explore the world of mid-term rentals, take the first step by furnishing your property, researching local demand, and marketing it effectively. The rewards might surprise you!

Why Airport Advertising in Kochi is More Effective Than TV Ads

Airport advertising in Kochi will soon be a popular choice for businesses wishing to enhance their brand's visibility. Kochi International Airport isis one of India's fastest-growing airports and serves millions of passengers annually including international and domestic passengers. Strategic location and high footfall make airport advertising an advantage over traditional advertising media like television ads. On the other hand, the Kochi airport advertisement stands out in terms of efficiency for those brands seeking to create an impression and connect with a captive, diversified audience. By partnering with an outdoor advertising agency in Kochi, businesses could capitalize on this upsurge trend and craft impactful campaigns that resonate with travellers moving through the airport.

One of the main reasons advertising at Kochi airport is so much more effective than TV ads is the level of attention it commands. Unlike television ads, which often can be skipped, ignored, or distracted by viewers, advertisements at the airport are captive. Travellers spend most of their time waiting for flights, moving through terminals, or resting in lounges with minimal distractions, making them more attentive to the advertisements surrounding them. With such a high level of engagement, brands can reach their target audience much more effectively than with TV ads, which compete with various other entertainment options in a household.

Additionally, the advertisement of Kochi airport presents the brand with an ideal chance to connect with a targeted audience that is broadly exposed. Kochi airport has developed as an international hub from where people travel to different parts of the world-from the Middle East and Southeast Asia to Europe and others. This allows business houses to strategically place ads that talk to the largest number of customers, attributes that cannot easily be matched with television advertisements. Because airport advertising in Kochi is not usual, it generally reaches a broader national audience that lacks the specificity and targeting capabilities of an outdoor advertising agency in Kochi. In this way, with the help of an outdoor advertising agency in Kochi, firms can place ads at places that have maximum chances to reach their desired target audience: international tourists, business travellers, or even locals.

The other edge airport advertisement possesses over the ad on television is that it can produce memorable, experiential contact with the viewer. While a TV ad might be fleeting and forgotten by the end of the commercial break, the airport advertising in Kochi offers the opportunity to involve the audience in a visual experience, sometimes interactive. Digital screens, interactive kiosks, and large-format billboards in high-traffic areas allow the brand to engage passengers dynamically and creatively. For example, a brand may create an interactive ad where a passenger scans a QR code on the advertisement about a product, enters a contest, or collects a reward. Such high exposure is more likely to leave a traveller's mind once they depart from the airport, something that may not be possible through television ads.

Advertising in Kochi Airport allows targeting advertisements at specific times, such as peak travel time or local festivals. Television commercials are often taken in a more non-specific, long-term approach. Brands could dynamically change the message at Kochi International Airport in conjunction with the passengers who arrive during such periods, for example, holiday seasons, major festivals, and international sporting events. This adjustability would help in more precise targeting and investment returns. For instance, during the tourist season, local tourism or regional product ads are more effective, and when there are business conferences, B2B services attract more attention.

The visual nature of airport advertising also contributes to its effectiveness over TV ads. Airports are large billboards for advertisers, with high-quality billboards, digital screens, and posters in prime locations such as check-in counters, baggage claim areas, and departure gates. Usually, these ads will be much more graphic and enormous compared to any achievable through screens in TV broadcasting, thus having a more significant impact. It is how a brand might gain a high standing in a highly competitive travel industry since those ads that excite the minds of travellers usually end up being very memorable and have them act appropriately. On the other hand, TV commercials are restricted to the small screen of a TV set and often find themselves competing with other programs, reducing their impact.

Third, the character of airport advertising in Kochi is immediately actionable. For instance, the passenger sees an airport ad and is able, almost at once, to respond to it-a scan of a QR code, a fast and quick online purchase, or a visit to a store or service in an airport, for example. Such an instantaneous connection of the ad with consumer activity cannot quickly be tried with television advertisements. There is usually a time gap before acting after seeing the TV advertisement, making the ad less effective during the campaign. Airport advertising conveys local relevance. The region's culture, language, and preferences are included in ads placed at Kochi International Airport to ensure the messaging will hit local and regional consumers. This is almost the opposite of television advertisements since, at times, they may be vague to the entire national audience and, sometimes, result in a very irrelevant message for the viewers. Such messages would find their way into the right message for the local market by collaborating with an outdoor advertising agency in Kochi.

In conclusion, airport advertising in Kochi offers significant advantages over advertisements, including higher viewership, more highly targeted audiences, greater flexibility to create memorable impressions, and, thus, more impactful overall experiences. With the expertise of an outside advertising agency, Kochi, enterprises can tap into these benefits by developing customized outdoor campaigns that yield a more significant impact. Whether reaching international travellers, residents, or specific market segments, airport advertising offers an unusual opportunity to enhance brand awareness and motivate consumer response in ways TV commercials can't easily rival.

Advantages of Revenue Management System for MMR Hotels

In the current world where competition has reached its peak in the hospitality industry, it is crucial to have a good revenue management strategy to make certain that the business is profitable and guests are satisfied. MMR Hotels uses advanced revenue management system to make the right pricing decisions and to be on top of the market trends. 

This blog focuses on the purpose, use, and advantages of the revenue management system, and how MMR Hotels uses technology to generate greater revenue and promote guests’ satisfaction.

What is a Revenue Management System?

A revenue management system (RMS) is a system that is used to assist hotel managers in the optimization of revenue by studying market demand, pricing, and customer behaviour. The system also incorporates the best algorithms and analytics to determine the best pricing strategies that will be profitable and give the business a competitive advantage. RMS takes into account records, current market conditions, and competitors’ prices, which makes it possible for hotels to change their prices in response to varying demands.

Key metrics used by an RMS include:

ADR (Average Daily Rate): The total sales of rooms divided by the number of rooms that were sold, which gives the average revenue per available room.

RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room): A measure of room revenue performance, calculated as the average daily rate of rooms sold multiplied by the occupancy rate.

GOPPAR (Gross Operating Profit Per Available Room): A metric that includes operating expenses to determine overall profitability.

How Does RMS Work?

RMS uses algorithms to analyze data, including booking trends, seasonal fluctuations, and local events. At MMR Hotels, the system integrates:

Dynamic Pricing: Automatically adjusts rates based on demand and competition.

Demand Forecasting: Predicts future trends using historical data.

Channel Management: Optimizes room inventory distribution across multiple online travel agencies (OTAs) and booking platforms.

Competitor Analysis: Compares pricing strategies with other hotels to remain competitive.

Technologies and Tools at MMR Hotels

MMR Hotels extends its revenue management capabilities with:

Data Science and Analytics: For in-depth insights into booking patterns and market demands.

PMS (Property Management Systems): Integrates operational data to streamline processes.

Channel Manager: Centralizes inventory across OTAs for efficient distribution.

AI-Powered Forecasting Tools: Provide accurate predictions of guest preferences and booking trends.

Intelligent Reporting: Monthly and yearly reports that detail performance and suggest actionable insights.

Advantages of Revenue Management System

Optimal Pricing Strategies: Adjusts room rates in real-time to capitalize on market trends, ensuring maximum profitability.

Improved Forecasting Accuracy: Helps predict demand and optimize inventory for high-demand periods while avoiding overbooking.

Enhanced Guest Experience: Tailored pricing and efficient inventory management lead to better guest satisfaction and loyalty.

Increased RevPAR and GOPPAR: Ensures financial health by maximizing room revenue and overall profitability.

Operational Efficiency: Automates repetitive tasks, reducing the burden on hotel staff.

Why MMR Hotels Stands Out?

MMR Hotels incorporates a combination of human expertise and advanced technology to provide a comprehensive revenue management solution:

Customized Yield Strategies: Customized Yield Strategies are carefully tailored plans that cater to the individual requirements of both boutique hotels and large hotel chains. They are designed to maximize revenue by optimizing room rates and availability based on demand and market trends.

Scalable Solutions: Scalable Solutions are adaptable services that can easily accommodate the expansion and growth of properties over time. These solutions ensure that optimization strategies remain effective and consistent as the business evolves.

Comprehensive Support: Comprehensive Support from MMR Hotels covers a wide range of services, starting from detailed property assessments to regular revenue reports. This end-to-end service provides comprehensive assistance to hotel owners and management to ensure efficient revenue management.

Enhanced Online Visibility: Enhanced Online Visibility focuses on improving the presence of hotels on Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) by optimizing their profiles. This optimization strategy increases the discoverability of the properties, ultimately leading to a boost in online bookings and revenue.

The Relevance of RMS in Modern Hospitality

As the hospitality sector becomes increasingly data-driven, RMS is no longer optional. In an industry where guest preferences and market dynamics evolve rapidly, an RMS ensures that hotels remain adaptable and competitive. By automating critical processes, RMS minimizes human error and helps hotels focus on delivering superior guest experiences.

Conclusion

A robust revenue management system is a game-changer for hoteliers looking to thrive in a competitive market. At MMR Hotels, the RMS integrates cutting-edge technologies and strategic insights to maximize profitability and elevate guest satisfaction. By optimizing pricing, forecasting demand, and ensuring operational efficiency, MMR Hotels empowers properties to achieve sustained success.

Investing in a highly efficient RMS is not just about staying competitive—it's about setting new benchmarks in hospitality excellence. To learn more about how MMR Hotels can transform your revenue management strategy, visit MMR Hotels and identify your property’s true potential.
