“You know, Elmshadow has a cousin if you want me to put in a good word for you. He’s very handsome, and a satyr like you! He works in architecture, so he’s got biiiig muscles.” Bellemarie puts down her knife and kiwi to flex her non-existent muscles. “Probably gives great hugs, if you know what I mean.” “That is quite thoughtful of you, Bellemarie. But I am not interested in courting at the moment.” Honeysuckle cuts into the next strawberry a little harder than he needs to. Even a casual fling would be more than Honeysuckle could handle; he could not bear the affections of another when he cannot give it back without thinking of Adorian. It wouldn’t be fair to them, and it wouldn’t be fair to Honeysuckle. He would court Adorian in the blink of his long eyelashes. Honeysuckle would write love poems and serenade Adorian underneath the night sky, where the moon will be their only witness. Even she would turn her blushing face away at the sight of Honeysuckle’s ardor for his god.

Honeysuckle is one of the senior-ranked butlers in the Daydream Quarters, home to Adorian, the God of Love. He takes his duties in the Daydream Quarters very seriously, despite the teasing of his fellow staff members.

But Honeysuckle's work is all to win the attention of Adorian himself. Just a smile, a wink, the sound of his very name from Adorian's lips is enough to make Honeysuckle's legs weak. One day, Adorian will notice Honeysuckle's devotion to him...

And that day is today.

Voretober continued (I'm so behind ahhhhh I meant for this to be a flash fiction piece to help me but oh well). When I think of drowsy, I thought of someone being woken up in bed. So here, a man's adult son tries to wake him up for breakfast in bed. But the sleepy dad has a different idea: his son should be cock food.

Excerpt:

The flesh pulsed gently against the sides of my head with each pounding heartbeat. Warmth massaged my skin. It was like slowly making your way into a sauna.

Hands grabbed my sides, my legs, and shifted me around. My slippers fell off. I lay on top of Dad. I could feel his stomach pressed against my wood. A wet, swallowing glrrk burrowed into my ears. The flesh around my head pressed in and down on me. The urethra let go of my neck and stretched over my shoulders. With another swallow, the top of my chest entered my father’s ravenous dick. Forceful fingers pulled at the waistbands of my pajama pants and boxers. They yanked them down until my crotch smacked down against my father’s gut. My bare legs laid atop his chest.

Those same hands wrapped around each of my ankles. The tight grip kept me from kicking out and doing any damage. I wasn’t going to kick. But getting grabbed like that, restricted at both ends? Some sort of fearful instinct took over, and I bucked. My hips slammed down onto Dad’s stomach.

Rather than free me, each makeshift thrust of mine seemed to inch me further and further into Dad’s hungry cock.

I couldn’t hear anything outside the rush of blood inside Dad’s dick and the swallowing noises as the muscles dragged me down towards those growling testicles that created me once upon a time.

I leaned in, my body drawn to him like a magnet. He covered the rest of the distance, pressing his lips against mine, softly first, then more urgent. I felt his tongue against my bottom lip, tracing the edge. It wasn't enough. I wanted to taste him. I needed to taste him. 

I parted my lips and caressed his tongue with my own, pushing gently, then teasing him into my mouth, drawing him in deeper.

Then, it was no longer slow or gentle. I was on fire, and he matched my energy, tongue fucking my mouth like it was his only desire in the world. I drank him in. He was an aphrodisiac and I couldn't stop feasting.

I sucked on his bottom lip, my hands clutching his hair. He pulled away to lick my earlobe, then nip at my neck. I moaned and pulled his face up again, this time not waiting before plunging my tongue into his mouth. He tasted of whiskey and smoke with a hint of mint. He tasted like heaven, and I wanted more.

He cupped my breasts, and I leaned in, pushing my body against his. I felt him tweak my nipples, soft at first, then harder, responding to my motions. I gasped, and my mouth was filled with his taste again. He caressed my tongue, took me into his mouth, and sucked like a greedy man. Then, just when I thought I was going to burst into flames, he slowed down, placing gentle kisses on my lips, his hands moving to my waist. 

He then pulled away and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I groaned in disappointment. “We should save the rest for when we’re both sober,” he said into my ear.

Hey you. Want more? Want it dirtier, harder? Do you want to be dripping wet by the time you're done reading a few sentences, so much so that you can't help but reach downward and satiate yourself?

I can give you what you need. Oh yes, darling, there's so much more. This was but a tiny snippet of the excitement and passion coming your way. I have a whole book for you. A book of steamy loving, hot build ups, magic, and ahem, vampires.

Follow my blog to find out more. 💋

“Come here,” and Honeysuckle is too weak to deny Adorian anything. He walks over to the bed, pausing when his knees bump the mattress. Adorian lifts his arms, the gauzy pink sleeves slipping to his elbows. “Come to me.” A gasp traps itself in Honeysuckle’s throat at the naked affection. Adorian’s eyes are soft and his eyebrows knitted together. His hands reach for Honeysuckle and his smooth chest looks so snuggly. “I am…allowed?” He whispers, and Adorian makes an urgent gesture with his hands. “Allowed? Dear Honeysuckle, you are encouraged!” Adorian’s musical voice is strangled. “I cannot let you go uncomforted, in my chambers no less!”

Adorian is the god of Love and he rules from the Daydream Quarters with his many lovers, artists, and admirers. His rule is light, his touch is soft, and his smiles are always fond. It's hard not to fall in love with him.

Honeysuckle, one of the senior butlers in the Daydream Quarters, keeps his love for Adorian bundled under a veneer of respectability and shyness. But Adorian will not stand for this.

There is no place for shame in love.
