Author's note: Awieee thank u sm pookie! I understand the feeling of wanting to latch onto the LIs~

Zayne:

Zayne wakes up with you on his chest, your leg over his crotch, and your arm across his stomach. To him, you were like a weighted stuffed toy and a weighted blanket, all at the same time. He wasn't complaining; maybe it was an excuse to stay in bed for another half an hour.

The bathroom is big enough for the two of you, with two wash basins, a separate shower, and a bathtub. There are three bathrooms in the house, but you always choose the one he uses. He's complained once, but you said you didn't like the interior design of the others. Side by side, you brush your teeth and comb your hair while he shaves and flosses. If you wake up earlier than usual, maybe he'll let you moisturize and exfoliate his face. It's no surprise Zayne leaves the bathroom door open for you. It's just normal for both of you to cross paths in the large bathroom.

When he leaves for work, you never miss a day to kiss his nose and give him a quick peck. You embrace him with two arms, but he hugs you back with one, the other hand holding his bag. You don't mind.

Your message gallery is filled with pictures of your mundane life: a snapshot of a book you're reading, the new coffee you tried, the little teacup Maltese that reminded you of him. Even though he's busy, he always finds time to react, and if he doesn't, he brings up the picture when you pick him up at the end of the day. He never forgets.

Calm days are spent in each other's presence. You always cling to him in one way or another. While he's reading a book, your feet are on his lap, and his fingers unknowingly knead your ankles. While watching a movie, your shoulders touch, and your hands are intertwined. When you react to the film, his hand, still holding yours, follows your movements.

Dates are always fun. It doesn't matter where you go or what you do as long as Zayne's in your company. Cafe dates are cute, but Zayne always calls you out for staring at him with a weird look in your eyes—you were admiring him. Whenever you walk, you cling to him, wrapping yourself around his forearm while playfully weighing him down. He stumbles for a second but smiles.

You love leaving hickeys on him, even bite marks if he allows, but the rule is never above the collar of his shirt. You oblige 97% of the time. The other 3%, you sneak in a light hickey that passes off as a mosquito bite, just peeking through the collar of his dress shirt. Sometimes, there's one behind his ear, barely visible. He never knows, but the doctors and patients at the hospital do.

When you're apart, you always call him and go about your day. At night, you video call and try to stay awake, only to snooze off. Zayne chuckles at your attempts to wash the tiredness away, but sometimes, he falls asleep with you. In the morning, both of your phones end up overheating and out of battery.

Zayne loves your company, to others it may seem trouble some but with you, it was adorable. It's through your clingyness that he experiences feelings he never once did before, and those little things always brighten his day. You actions with him makes him feel more loved and he knows he has a hard time expressing them but with you around, it had become more and more easier.

Rafayel:

They say opposites attract, but you and Rafayel are the universal exception.

Rafayel doesn't like it when you're late. Even for a home-date, he fusses about being left alone too long and feeling abandoned. You laugh at his whining over text and enter his door. When he sees you, he jumps off the couch and pouts, "Finally, it took you long enough."

You're like magnets to each other. Wherever one goes, the other follows. If you're cooking ramen in the kitchen, Rafayel sneaks behind you, hugging your back and sniffing your hair. If he's watering flowers in the greenhouse, you sit nearby and watch a ladybug on a leaf. If he's painting, you're reading on a nearby couch. Rafayel's residence is too big for one person but just enough for two.

Rafayel whines when you do something without him, especially if it's something he wants to do. You once took a flower arrangement class without him, and he sulked, "Wow, you didn't even think to tell me? I wanted to do that with you." Even watching movies is hard because you need to pause and wait for him whenever he leaves the room. One time, you finished a mystery series without him, and he ate the tiramisu you were saving for dessert in revenge.

Matching clothes is a thing. He avoids tacky prints but opts for complementary outfits. Because of this, Rafayel buys clothes with you in mind, often choosing items with a feminine counterpart. His shoe closet and yours are practically the same, and you don't complain because Rafayel has good fashion taste.

You love cute matching items. You once bought a two-piece mug set with a heart design, and he took the other one without you knowing. He also took a keychain from your collection, matching the one you have in your wallet.

"Are you tired of me now?" he asks when you keep your distance, avoiding a hug. It's the middle of summer, and the AC is broken. You reek of sweat, and the last thing you want is to be touched. You sigh and pat his back, "After I take a bath, I'll give you all the hugs you want."

He asks about your plans every morning, almost as a ritual. You've gotten used to replying while getting ready. If both schedules permit, he joins you for grocery runs, laundry, or whatever mundane tasks you have. You make good use of him, letting him carry the bags even if you could do it yourself.

When Rafayel is at an exhibit, you bombard him with texts: jokes, articles, or random thoughts. He replies quickly, hiding from the audience, bored out of his mind. In return, he sends you pictures of his artwork, which you threaten to sell online as digital files. He blocks you for a good five minutes.

You're each other's wallpaper. Surprisingly, Rafayel asked to do it. You spent hours finding the perfect pose and recreating trending ones. Rafayel insisted on multiple retakes.

You were rafayel's missing piece. To him, you were the only thing that he has ever wanted in his life. He loved you dearly and a part of him was terrified that you don't reciprocate the same level of love as he does to you; but lo and behold, fate has given him a blessing after all those years of loneliness. His heart swoons at the very sight of your actions. You were clingy, that was factually true but the same goes for him. Nothing makes him more fulfilled than seeing you both think and love in the same wavelength.

Sylus:

His base has become your home. On days off, you often find yourself in one of three rooms: his bedroom, where you lie on his bed, tapping away on your phone or laptop; his kitchen, where the chef cooks whatever you want in exchange for listening to his stories from his little village; or the lobby, where Luke and Kieran update you on the most boring things in the building. Sylus doesn't mind at all; it's less work for Mephisto, and he can keep an eye on you.

Sylus's sleep schedule is the same as that of those in Linkon City. His days begin in the evenings, often leaving you lying in the big bed alone. Sylus is nearby or at his desk if he's not out on the streets. You like hugging his pillow because it smells like his 3-in-1 shampoo. If he's out on late-night trips, you selfishly steal his shirt from the closet, wear it on the pillow, and hug that to sleep, forcing yourself to be satisfied with what you got.

His lap is your chair. It doesn't matter where he's sitting; you always find yourself on him. Sylus sometimes complains about his thighs going numb, but when you leave, he yanks you back, positioning you between his legs, with your butt on the chair instead of his thigh. He goes back to his work as if nothing happened, occasionally sparing you a kiss on the forehead or rubbing his face against yours. If not, you shower his chest and neck with light pecks before snuggling into the crook of his neck.

His biceps are nice to the touch. On dates to the city, while waiting in line, you squeeze his muscles for entertainment, even through his thick leather jacket. He flexes for a minute before relaxing, amused at how easily you entertain yourself.

The boyfriend shirt phenomenon is common. You don't leave the base wearing his clothes, but you certainly walk around the area in them. Whether a turtleneck, a black blouse, or just a plain shirt, you're always wearing his clothes, even in his company.

You're an eccentric one, thats for sure. Sylus never truly got ahold of how you managed to change from being so distant to practically being glued to him. It was like he partnered up with a whole new different person. He wasn't complaining at all if anything, he found it admirable and a part of him was quietly relieved that time did all the adjusting between you and him. Despite being a bit too fussy at times, he'd be more than willing to compromise if that's what makes you happy.

Xavier:

You always steal his hoodies. They're big, soft, and smell like him, so you have two or three at home. Xavier scratches his head when he notices bare hangers in his closet. When you visit, he finally sees what's missing. No matter how many hoodies and jackets he buys for you, you always get your hands on his, almost becoming a problem. Now, he rotates his jackets, giving them to you on schedule.

Xavier's hair is too soft to be human. When he's on your lap, you massage his scalp and fidget with the ends of his silver hair. If you have hair elastics and a cute clip nearby, he ends up with his hair tied up or braided. He needs your help to take it off because it's too painful for him to do alone. Oops?

You prefer sitting beside him rather than across from him at a table. He didn't understand at first because he wanted to face you when eating. But when he's beside you, he slowly gets it. You like touching him one way or another. You enjoy your elbows touching or your thighs grazing each other. It's also convenient to lean slightly and rest your head on his shoulder.

Xavier loves bathing with you. The bathtub in his apartment is big enough for both. He likes the smell of your bath bombs and is sometimes fascinated by the toys or mini jewelry inside. Your back always presses against him, and he willingly holds you. On more stressful days, you light candles and open some cheap wine to enjoy in rose-covered water.

He's riddled with bite marks, even when not having sex. He's dozing off when you suddenly find his arm or leg appetizing. He jolts awake and tries to shake your grip, but it's too tight. When you've had enough, he stares at your work of art and wipes his saliva-coated limb. You grin, watching him wipe your fluids. Because of the frequency, he rarely lets his consciousness drift away when his bare arms and legs are around you.

When bathing alone, you use his shampoo instead of yours. It's surprising he doesn't use all-in-one shampoo and body wash; he uses baby shampoo. When confronted, he shrugs, saying it does the job, and recalls you like playing with his hair. His perfume and powder are also for babies.

In the eyes of Xavier, you were adorable even if your actions were questionable. You were cute, and he never once thought that your actions were a burden or suffocating. The things you do, the way you speak they were all precious in his eyes and Xavier understands that this was you way of showing your love for him. Because of that, he tolerates you every time you bite him.

Your gallery is full of his pictures. Candid photos you secretly take daily. Your favorite is when his cheeks are full of food, resembling a hamster. You take pictures when he's asleep, using you as a pillow. Sometimes, you're both looking at the camera, making random faces.

Author footnotes: I'm sorry if these were pretty general. I'm not the clingy type so I don't know how these type of people act but I wrote it with the things I observed from films and tiktok lol

Marble Sink

A marble sink can transform any bathroom or kitchen into a luxurious space. Made from natural stone, a marble sink not only adds elegance but also durability to your home. The unique veining and patterns in marble ensure that each sink is one-of-a-kind, making it a statement piece in your decor.

Additionally, it can be easily polished to maintain its luster, assuring you that your marble sink will remain stunning for years to come.

However, proper care and maintenance are crucial for preserving the beauty of a marble sink. Regular sealing is recommended to protect against stains and etching, which can occur from strong acids and cleaning products. With the right upkeep, your marble sink can serve as a centerpiece in your home, showcasing timeless beauty and functionality.

Whether you are opting for a contemporary design or a classic style, a marble sink is a versatile choice that can complement a variety of themes. Its refined charm can elevate the ambiance of your space, making it feel more inviting and sophisticated.

Marble Sinks

Marble sinks are an exquisite addition to any bathroom or kitchen, providing a touch of luxury and elegance. Known for their stunning appearance and durability, marble sinks have become increasingly popular among homeowners and interior designers alike. With a wide variety of colors and patterns available, each piece is unique, allowing you to find the perfect match for your interior style.

One of the main advantages of using marble sinks is their aesthetic appeal. The natural veining and rich textures of marble can elevate the overall look of your space, making it feel more sophisticated. Whether you prefer a classic white marble with subtle grey veining or a bold dark marble with striking patterns, there’s a marble sink that can fit your vision.

Apart from their beauty, marble sinks are also known for their durability. Marble is a hard and long-lasting material, making it a great investment for any home. While it requires some maintenance to preserve its shine and prevent stains, a well-cared-for marble sink can last for decades. Regular sealing and gentle cleaning solutions are essential for maintaining the integrity of your marble sink.

When considering a marble sink, it's important to think about the design and functionality. Various styles, including undermount, vessel, and drop-in sinks, are available to suit different tastes and layouts. Each style offers a unique way to highlight the beauty of marble while ensuring practicality in daily use.

In addition to their aesthetic and functional benefits, marble sinks can also enhance the value of your home. High-quality stone fixtures are often perceived as luxurious and can increase the appeal of your property to potential buyers.

Marble Wash Basin

A marble wash basin is not just a practical addition to your bathroom or kitchen, but also a statement of elegance and style. Crafted from natural stone, these sinks offer a unique blend of functionality and aesthetic appeal that can elevate any space. The beauty of a marble sink lies in its intricate veining and rich textures, making it a captivating centerpiece.

One of the key advantages of a marble wash basin is its durability. Marble is a hard, resilient material that can withstand daily use while maintaining its contemporary charm. With proper care and maintenance, a marble sink can last for many years, making it a wise investment for any homeowner.

Beyond durability, the maintenance of a marble wash basin is relatively simple. Regular cleaning with gentle, non-abrasive cleaners will keep the surface pristine. However, it’s important to avoid harsh chemicals and acids that may damage the marble. Sealing your marble sink periodically can also help protect it from stains and water damage.

The versatility of marble wash basins is another reason for their growing popularity. They come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, allowing homeowners to choose the perfect sink that matches their decor. Whether you prefer a classic white marble or a striking black vein, there's a style to suit every taste.

In terms of installation, a marble wash basin can be integrated seamlessly into different countertop materials, enhancing the overall look of your bathroom or kitchen. Pairing a marble sink with fixtures made of brass or chrome can create an eye-catching contrast that will impress your guests.

Furthermore, the luxurious feel of a marble wash basin adds a touch of sophistication to your space. It not only serves a practical purpose but also transforms your bathroom or kitchen into a sanctuary of relaxation and comfort.

Black and White Chapter 4

Chapter rating: M

Pairing: A!A x Tav

Tags: Mild torture

Read on AO3

Summary: Tav asks Astarion for a sparring session, wanting to see the extent of his new powers. Little did she know it would awaken dormant desires within her. After, Astarion shares the groundwork for his plans to take over the city while Tav foolishly believes he only wants her as an advisor.

Feel free to like or leave a comment!

The hidden dungeon under the Szarr mansion extended to unfathomable depths. Death and decay hang in the air, creating a foul odor that nearly made her vomit. A total of seven thousand spawn lie caged in the prison, starved and feral. At the center of the desecrated chapel stood Cazador Szarr, their mark. She stood back while Astarion had his exchange with his tyrannical maker and watched in horror when he was forced to take his place as a sacrifice.

“No, stop him! And get me out of this damn thing!” he pleaded. She let out a primal roar and drew upon the parasite’s power.

Tav woke up from her meditations in a cold sweat. It was the first time she recalled that fateful day in her trance. Never in her one hundred and ten years had she felt as frightened as when she saw Astarion in that device, helpless and a hair’s breadth away from damnation. She took a deep breath and reminded herself that they had succeeded. Cazador was dead. Astarion had ascended. They won.

Sunlight spilled through the window, making her smile knowing that he would forever experience its gentle glow. It washed over her face, stinging her eyes and warming her skin. She got up and walked to the window, opening it to allow the fresh air in. The courtyard below was quite lovely. Astarion had it bordered with all sorts of shrubberies and flowers. The few young trees that had been planted would no doubt have colorful foliage in the autumn. She wondered if this design was his or if he hired a professional.

“My lady?” Tibbi softly knocked. Tav quickly shut the curtains and gave her permission to enter. She scurried into the room, carrying a heavy pitcher and basin. 

“Tibbi, shouldn’t you be resting? It’s daylight.” Tav asked, concerned. 

“The master has assigned me to cater to your whims, my lady. You needn’t burden yourself on my behalf.” The maid went to the wardrobe and began fussing with the clothing inside. Assigned? Tav thought that was an interesting way of phrasing “compelled.” 

That day, Tav chose black linen slacks and a simple cotton shirt. A modest outfit when compared to yesterday’s, but this would suit her needs far better than a dress. She grabbed her shabby adventuring pack and checked its contents.

“Let your master know I wish to see him in the courtyard,” she requested. The maid curtsied and left.

Tav walked around the enclosure’s interior as she waited for Astarion to arrive. Being on the ground level and seeing the plant life up close was far more impressive than from above. She especially liked the almost blooming clematis vines trellising up the fence. Their purple blossoms would no doubt create a beautiful contrast to the orange lilies. The clacking of shoes against stone snapped her out of her thoughts. 

“You wanted to see me?” he asked. Astarion stood tall, with his hands clasped behind his back and his chin raised confidently. To his surprise, Tav replied by tossing a pair of daggers his way.

“You said you would show me what a vampire ascendant could do,” she said, unsheathing her short swords, giving them a twirl, “Dance with me. I want to see the strength that was purchased with 7,000 souls.” Tav went into a fighting stance. Astarion seemed amused by her request. He let her idle in her stance, eyebrows raised, inspecting the loaned blades.

“Darling, I do hope you can keep up!” Blades flashed almost too quickly for Tav to follow. She was instantly put on the defensive, barely parrying his incoming swipes and thrusts. During the one offensive attack she managed to get in, he easily slid behind her and pressed his dagger to the back of her neck.

“Yield,” he commanded. A small noise of disbelief escaped her lips. Not one to give up, she rolled to the side and resumed her attack. Astarion barely flinched, easily deflecting and evading whatever she threw at him. 

“Unreal,” she remarked. Slashing, swiping, dodging, she remembered how even they used to be when they journeyed together. This was something else. Even the look on his face was different, more intimidating. 

After a time, Astarion seemed to grow bored of the match and increased his strength dramatically. With each parry, Tav could feel the metal reverberate, sending a numbing pain down her arms. One low sweep and she was flat on her back. In the blink of an eye, he was on top of her, pinning her arms.

“Yield,” he again ordered. Tav squirmed in rebellion, trying to break free. He pressed his full weight against her. She felt his fangs tickle her neck and vile energy permeate her core, sapping her strength. It was over.

“Yield,” he whispered.

Eight months she had spent in near constant battles in the hells, fighting orthons, cambions, parties of imps, lemures, and whatever else Zariel threw at them.. Eight months of honing her skills, her instincts, while he was gallivanting and hosting lavish parties. All of that and she couldn’t manage to land a single blow.

“I yield,” Tav capitulated. He stayed in place for a bit, letting her feel the weight of him pinning her down, his breath on her neck, his beating heart. She felt his cold lips brush up her neck, slowly working their way to the lobe of her ear.

“Good girl,” he purred. This sent a shiver through her body, one that Astarion no doubtably noticed. Ruby eyes stared at her with satisfaction as he started getting up, sliding his hands from her arms down her sides, gripping her hips. In one quick motion, he stood up and took her with him.

“Well? How did I do?” he arrogantly asked. The answer was obvious, but he wanted to hear it all the same. 

“Astarion,” she shook her head, “That was frightening .” An honest answer. Tav was too astonished to give one of her usual coy responses. Frightening was truly the best word she could think of to describe this.  

“That was the tip of the iceberg, darling. I can do far more than that.” Haughty as his words were, she knew there was truth behind them.

“I have no doubt,” she acknowledged, flexing her fingers. They were still tingling, but the feeling was returning to them. Tav then felt a chilly finger brush underneath her chin, tilting her head up.

“How lucky you are that I’m your ally.” How lucky indeed.

~~~~~~~

There was a bit of disappointment when Astarion arrived in the courtyard. Part of him had hoped to see Tav still jealous from the previous night, but aside from some puffiness under her eyes she looked as if nothing had happened. He was ready for some form of coded talk where she would make her displeasure known, but no. 

Instead, she wished to spar with him. Admittedly, it was a fun duel despite how one sided it was. Sparring with her was one of the things he took the most joy in during their trek. Exchanging blows gave him a sense of catharsis, a place to confront his demons. 

More than once, he felt himself consumed in rage during their bouts. He remembered the first time it happened. Tav promptly stopped the match and had him sit on his knees with her to meditate. Initially, he thought the whole thing was ridiculous, them sitting on the ground with their eyes closed and doing breathing exercises. However, he noticed a change in himself. He was calmer, more in control. Thinking of Cazador didn’t immediately paralyze him with fear. When the final confrontation happened, he was able to stand firm instead of groveling. 

Astarion delighted in the perplexed look overtaking her face. Tav was the leader of their expedition. For months she was at the helm, the one to rally their friends, and put on a brave face when challenged. Always the dominant one, never the one to submit. He liked this little role reversal.

“I almost forgot, I have something for you!” Tav knelt beside her pack and rummaged through it. She placed in his hands a molten-red chain that pulsated fiery light and emitted a low heat. “These are infernal shackles. They will bind a target and torture them by making them feel aflame with hellfire.”

“How very useful,” he smirked. Tav shot a glance to the east. Astarion discreetly scanned the area in question and saw a cloaked figure, barely visible in the tree.

“Try them out,” she grinned. He reciprocated the smile along with a polite bow, then sent the shackles flying toward the target. The metal clanked as it wrapped and tightened around the uninvited guest. They went screaming to the ground, writhing in the agony of hallucinatory hellfire.

“Well then! These are certainly fun!” Astarion gleefully watched the trespasser struggle against the chains, desperate to break free of the pain. He stood over the wretch, laughing at their plight. They were a half elven, blonde haired man wearing a blue-green cloak over their cheap leather armor. Tav knelt down and pointed her sword to an unmistakable silver pin. A moon and lyre.

“I see it’s amateur hour for the Harpers,” she scoffed, pulling her blade back, “Why are you here? I doubt Jaheira would send you on a reconnaissance mission in the middle of the morning.” The High Harper made it clear during their last meeting that she would be keeping a close eye on Astarion. Despite this, they were disinclined to believe this was her doing.

He replied by spitting in Tav’s direction, hitting her clothes. She jumped back in disgust, outstretching her arms so as not to touch the mucousy glob. Astarion gripped the man’s neck, forcing him to meet the vampire’s stare. 

“Do be nice to the lady,” he snarled. The half elf writhed, his tongue lolling and eyes bulging as the life was being choked out of him. Astarion released his grasp just enough to let him speak.

“Eat my dick, vampire,” the harper hissed.

“Now we know you weren’t sent by Jaheira,” Astarion slammed the man’s head into the ground, “She wouldn’t send an agent stupid enough to tell a vampire to ‘eat them’ as a spy. Now, answer the lady. Why are you here?” The half elf’s face grimaced, turning red from shame and humiliation.

“Old woman said I wasn’t ready for the field,” he confessed. The two of them burst into laughter. Clearly, Jaheira’s assessment was correct.

“What should we do with him?” Tav placed a hand on her hip as she weighed their options, “He knows what you are, so it stands to reason he’ll share that information with others. He also wants to make a name for himself, to prove himself as a harper, and taking down the city’s vampire lord would do just that.” Astarion clasped his hands, folding his index fingers into a steeple that he rested just under his chin.

“On the other hand, if he goes missing, Jaheira may send more of her people to watch me. Harpers do love their meddling.” A moment passed. 

“She would, if she knew he was here. He’s made it plain that he’s acting on his own,” the corners of her mouth turned up ever so slightly, “I don’t think we should let him live.”

“Darling, I love how pragmatic you are.” The harper struggled futilely against the vampire’s strength, his screams turning into gurgles once twin fangs penetrated his jugular. It didn’t take long for the body to go limp. Astarion got up, blood trailing down his front.

“Such a messy meal. Come, darling, we both need to clean up,” he placed an arm around her waist and walked them to the entry, “I will be away most of the day. There will be discussions going on regarding distribution of property in the lower city. Since many of the shops and their keepers fell during the conflict with the Absolute, real estate has been ripe for the picking.”

“I see. And what better way to establish a hidden network of fences, safe houses, and redistribution centers than to disguise them as fine, upstanding businesses?”

“I’m so glad you understand me, darling,” he beamed.

“Nine-fingers Keene might not like this.”

“Ah, dear Astelle. I have no doubt she will poke around my business, but she will soon discover that such interference may be at her peril,” he abruptly stopped and leaned toward Tav. There was a distinct, wicked glint in his eye, “Cazador wasn’t the only one to leave a wealth of information behind.”

“Oh?” Tav asked, intrigued. After the vampire lord’s defeat, they had discovered a plethora of records on the city’s bankers, nobles, merchants, and just about everyone else of import. That knowledge alone gave Astarion massive influence over Baldur’s Gate.

“You remember our good friend, the Emperor, don’t you?” His chin raised slightly, “After we defeated the Netherbrain, and him along with it, I returned to his old haunt. The mindflayer kept very, very detailed logs on the Knights of the Shield. Now their secrets are known to me as well.” Astarion expected her to be impressed, but instead she seemed to be apprehensive.

“You don’t think you’re being overambitious?” The bard’s eyes looked tense, her eyebrows pinched together. Astarion waved his hand, dismissing her concerns.

“Darling, I have eternity to see my goals come to fruition. You seem to forget that,” he affectionately poked the tip of her nose, “It may come as a surprise to you, but I do know how to take things slow.” His hand drifted deliberately off her waist and across her back as he took his leave. 

~~~~~

Tav returned to her room and quickly discarded her contaminated ensemble. Washing up, her thoughts drifted to her host’s aspirations. Just under a century ago, when she lived in the Upper City, she saw many like him come and go. All of them thought they were too intelligent or too powerful to fail. Hubris was their folly and one by one they fell. She knew Astarion was not the most details-oriented person, so she now resolved to be the yin to his yang. Vampire ascendant he may be, that didn’t mean he was invulnerable. No, she would do what she must to avoid him following the same path.

Cleaned and refreshed, she opened the dark cherry wardrobe and perused the dresses, still planning on how best to advise her new lord. An advisor he had asked for, therefore an advisor she would be. As she was browsing, one of the designs made her run cold. She set it out on the bed, covering her mouth with a trembling hand. The dress was burgundy silk with gold brocade, elegant and well suited for her complexion, and a near replica of something she once owned.

Though they were side by side for all that time, Tav didn’t share much of her past with Astarion. He never asked and she never found it relevant. The short of it was she was forced into an unhappy marriage with a much older, incredibly controlling Baldurian patriar. He loved her in burgundy. It was a miserable existence that ended one fateful day while traveling to Waterdeep. Bandits surrounded their carriage and in the chaos of the battle she had managed to escape. 

Shaking her head, Tav picked the garment off the bed and stuck it in the back of the wardrobe. She took a moment to focus and closed her eyes, took deep breaths, quieted her heart. None of the past mattered, it couldn’t be changed. Better not to focus on it. Better to bury it and prioritize the future. Opening her eyes, she turned her attention to a beautiful emerald dress with a fitted bodice. He never let her wear green. 

Tibbi arrived flushed and overly apologetic upon hearing that she “failed in her duties” by letting her lady perform the daunting task of picking an outfit all by herself. Tav made a mental note to ask Astarion to compel the poor girl to relax. The maid helped her dress and coiffed her hair, but Tav elected to do her own makeup today. She figured Tibbi’s shaking hands may not be well suited for the task. A gentle breeze rustled the curtains and caused Tav to remember something.

“Tibbi?” she asked, “What will happen to the body in the courtyard?” She had no doubt that Astarion and his staff would dispose of the corpse, but she was curious about the details. 

“The body is being discarded as we speak. When the master decides whether or not he wants another spawn, we will either bury the remains or incinerate them. Today it’s the latter.” Tav nodded thoughtfully at the reply. 

Recalling the sparring session, she was still in awe at just how powerful he was now. To be defeated so soundly was unbelievably humbling. Then to be pinned down like that. Tav’s mouth lifted into a smile, reliving the feeling of his body pressed against hers. The way he knotted her legs with his and how his lips barely touched her skin.

Any other man would have made her recoil, but there was something different about Astarion. There always was. Her experiences with intimate touch were never positive, many times painful, so she avoided it altogether. However, the vampire’s touches felt different. They felt good. 

Unfortunately, she was still far too afraid to try anything except a peck on the cheek. Besides, she had already rejected him the night they saved the Emerald Grove. She had her chance, she lost it due to her fear, and she doubted another opportunity would arise. Tav shook her head, clearing her thoughts. Better to not dwell on the past. 

“What to do today?” she wondered aloud. Maybe she should check on Karlach and Wyll, see how they’re doing? Go for a walk? Have a drink at a tavern? Tav shook her head. She had no desire to leave the palace just yet. Tibbi was busy cleaning up the used brushes, products, and blotting papers. Paper. Why not write letters to her companions? No one except Astarion knew she was back in the city. It would be nice to hear how they’re doing.

“Tibbi, bring me parchment, ink, and a quill.” Tav settled in for a quiet afternoon, relaxed and content.

Chapter X - Adorable valentine, part II

FEBRUARY 14, 2023 

1:00 pm

The Brit and the idol now arrived at the former's residence. This house was a box house made out of concrete and wood, which made the perfect, simple yet unusual house structure that sets it apart from the rest of the houses seen in Korea. The exterior was fascinatingly designed, and the materials that were made to create this masterpiece brought a combination of modern and natural aesthetic to it.

The house served as a symbol of Axelle's distinctive taste, being a man of simplicity and sleekness. The excitement was written all over Momo's face. She is still clinging onto her boyfriend's back.

"Wow. That's a really good looking house you got here!" Momo looked at the house with marvel in her eyes. "It's so sexy."

"It literally just looks like a box, though." The Brit chuckled, approaching the wooden door.

"I'm not kidding! The house is indeed sexy. Especially the one that is living in it." Momo giggled flirtatiously.

The Brit immediately got the message. "No, I'm not sexy. You are."

"No, you. Ehehe." The idol giggled again.

Axelle then opens the sliding wooden door, revealing the interior of the house. Again, it was made out of wood and concrete again, and it definitely created a sense of welcoming atmosphere, especially the living room.

(IGNORE THE BLURRY BABY)

He then puts his girlfriend down the sofa to relax herself after a long time of shopping him gifts, and excused himself for a moment. While he was gone for a while, Momo looked around the interior and was taking in the environment around her, amazed by how it was constructed. But moreover, she couldn't believe that her boyfriend, who is still a graduating student in college, resides in such a glorious and remarkable house.

Axelle then went back with a wash basin filled with water and soap.

"What are you going to do with that, darling?" Momo curiously asked.

He places the basin on the floor and then removes his girlfriend's shoes, and then puts her feet in, soaking them in the water. "A family tradition. This is how we welcome visitors in our home."

"Really?" Momo tilted her head.

He then kneeled on the floor and looked up at Momo. "No, I was kidding, I just made that up." He then chuckled.

She lightly tapped his head. "야, 바보! (Ya, pabo!) I was starting to think you were actually doing some family tradition!" She then shared a chuckle with the Brit, who then started to wash her feet.

(야 yah = hey)

"But for real. A little soak does feel so good. I should visit your house everyday so that you could wash my feet like this." The idol looked at him soaping her feet, feeling his fingers work their magic.

"As long it's not as stinky as the fish markets back in London." He snickered.

"Hey! You again and your silly little barbs!" Momo laughed. "I don't know if I should be insulted, haha!"

"I'm English. My mouth is a bit sharp sometimes." He commented. "It runs in my blood. But I use this 'weapon' depending on the person."

"That makes sense." She replied.

The Brit finishes washing her feet and leaves the living room, pouring out the water in the bathroom and setting aside the soap. He then returns not a few milliseconds later, and then does the surprising act of grabbing her chin and kissing her briefly.

He pulled away but kept his face close to Momo.

"You're so adorbs, little Axelle. I am really glad you are mine to keep."

"So I guess I'll have to stick with you calling me 'little' all the time?" Axelle asked.

"That is my little rule when we're together. You may be a tall boy, but you have a fragile heart like that of a child." Momo whispered, her aura becoming a bit possessive. "As long as you stay with me, I will make sure that you will be called 'little' for the rest of your life."

He shrugged. "Maybe I'll get used to being babied."

The idol wagged her index finger, playfully scolding him like a little boy. "Tsk tsk tsk. Nuh-uh. What did I tell you about the maybes, darling?"

He definitely did notice the motherly yet subtle dominating tone of Momo, yet he brushes it off anyway. "Sorry. No maybes. Only the yes's."

"Good boy∼" She whispered in a soft, husky voice. "You're sooo easy to talk to. I love that in you, my precious baby boy." She then chuckled seductively, pulling his head in between her clothed breasts.

As his head nestled in that spot, he begins to think for himself, with questions running in his head.

"Why is this... This is so uncertain of me. But why is Momo so tantalizing when she's... dominant and motherly? Is this because I lacked the love that was supposed to be given by my own Mum? Why do I feel so vulnerable? I shouldn't be like this... being babied is a bit cringe... yet why do I feel this way for my darling?"

The idol's lips let out another alluring mirth, caressing her boyfriend's hair. "Oh, Axie. You're sooo cute∼" She then kisses his forehead repeatedly, giving him affection. "I sooo want to take care of you now. My baby boy."

The young man thinks for himself once again.

"Am I being submissive at this point? Now that I think about it, I clearly remembered she gripped my neck last time back at that roof terrace... She wasn't even choking me, but she was so powerful, so dominant, that it makes me want to kneel down to her. But how does she do all of this? How?"

Momo drew his head away from her breasts and brought it closer to her face. "Hey, cutie. What do you wanna do now? We're all alone in your house now... We can do anything here. Tell me, boy."

He looked at the gift bag that was beside Momo and grabbed it, putting the thing beside him. He reaches inside the bag and pulls out the first gift that he grabbed.

"Oh! Strawberries!" Axelle smiled like a child. "And it's four packs! Incredible!"

Momo chuckled. "Yes. I knew you'd like strawberries, so I bought four packs just to be sure." She caresses his hair again. "Now go ahead and reach for the other gifts, darling."

He reaches for the bag again and pulls out the two strawberry Kitkat packs, and the strawberry plushie.

"Wait, no way!" He looked at the three items in his hands. "Nah, wait, hold up. Now I feel bad..."

"Feel bad for what?" Momo chuckled, her hands on her man's back.

"You walked for a long time just to get me these gifts, though. You shouldn't have done that for me. I mean, I should be doing that. I'm a man, right?"

Momo shook her head. "It's a thing here in Korea and the rest of East Asia for a woman to give something to her man on Valentine's, if you don't know that."

"Wait, really?" Axelle raised his eyebrow, culture-shocked by this discovery. "I literally lived here in Korea for 5 years and I had just known that?"

"Hehe. Culture shock much, huh?" Momo leaned onto his shoulder. "But let me tell you something, boy."

Axelle nods, ready to listen to his girlfriend.

"It's not about the gender roles, or who should do what, anyway. In the end, it's about showing my love and affection for you, little one. I take care of you, and you take care of me. Reciprocating. Simple as that." She kisses his cheek. "You got me a soak when we arrived here anyway... and I'm contented with your acts of service. Are we clear?"

Reaching for her hand, he interlocks it with his and kisses it. "Yes, darling. Crystal clear."

"Good." She places a peck on his shoulder. 

To Momo's surprise, yet again, the man hugged her in gratitude. "Thank you so much, darling. I couldn't give you enough gratitude. I mean it from the bottom of my heart."

The idol hugged him back, feeling his warmth in their little embrace. "You are absolutely welcome, my little Axelle."

Afterwards, the Brit turned back on the packs of strawberry and cracked one open, picking one and putting it in his mouth. As he tasted it, he nodded and smiled.

"Yes. I like this." He locked eyes with his woman. "Momo, try one."

"But those are yours, darling." Momo smiled. "I'll pass."

Remembering the thought of being babied by his girlfriend, he uses this to his advantage, and Axelle picked up another strawberry with his two pairs of fingers, putting it close to his face and looked at Momo with puppy eyes.

"Pwease. Twy one stwawbewwy. Pwease, pwease, pwease!" He spoke like he was freaking Tweety Bird.

Momo hung and shook her head, chuckling. "You're so cringe! I hate it but I also love it."

"Just get the fricking berry before I die of embarrassment here!" He half-grimaces and half-smiles, blushing as if he was about to die of cringeness.

"Fine. I'll eat one, I guess." She picked up the fruit from Axelle and takes a bite out of it. She hummed, "Mhm! It's not bad at all! I like it!"

The Brit picked up another strawberry from the pack, and then something clicked. He wondered, "I might feed it to her."

Momo looked at Axelle in confusion and jealousy. "Who's 'her'? Is she a woman, Axelle? Is she trying to hit on you?"

The Brit shook his head and chuckled. "Momo. Don't worry. 'She' isn't a human."

He then puts two fingers on his mouth, and then whistles. In a matter of seconds, the couple can hear thumping noises slowly getting a bit louder up from the second floor's hallway.

A black creature quickly emerged from the room from the second floor, its ears and nose twitching as it heard its master's whistle. She went down the stairs and into the living room. This cute creature is one of the biggest species of its kind, and it had black fur and long ears.

Momo gasped. "A rabbit! It's soooo cuteeee!"

The giant rabbit then hopped on to Axelle's lap.

"Hey, girl! Are you hungry? Who's the cutest rabbit? Yes, it is you!" He cooed whilst rubbing her fur, with the rabbit brushing her head into her master's stomach.

"She's so big! What breed of rabbit is this, darling?" Momo asked.

"Momo, meet Blazar. She's a Flemish Giant." Axelle says elatedly, caressing the fur of his beloved pet. "She weighs 18 pounds. She's so heavy, haha! But I love her so much!"

"Blazar? That's an epic name for a rabbit like her." Momo complimented, noticing the rabbit licking its own front feet.

He discusses the reasoning behind the name. "Yeah. I named her after that thing in space called an 'active galactic nucleus' or something like that, and blazars apparently belong to that kind. I barely have any knowledge about those types of stuff, just thought it would be cool to name her after it."

He then feeds a strawberry to Blazar as a treat. The doe nibbled on the fruit, leaving no speck or remnant behind, and even eating the leaves.

(doe = a female rabbit)

"Can I pet her?" Momo looked at the rabbit, then at Axelle.

The Brit nodded, allowing Momo to pet the big creature. Luckily, Flemish Giants enjoy interacting with people, so Momo was able to pet Blazar's soft head and fur.

"She's so fluffy. You take care of her really well." Momo gently let go of the rabbit, before the latter hopped off of Axelle's lap to sit in her little bed near the sofa.

"I really love that girl. She was my companion when I was in third year." Axelle explains. "Anyway, I should give a proper tour of my house."

"I would love that, darling. Please do show me what you have in store."

Axelle extended his hand out to his girlfriend and the latter eagerly accepted the gesture. The couple began to stroll around the house, with the Brit showcasing every space, nook and cranny that they can see around the property.

Firstly, he led Momo to the back of the house where the pool could be seen. It was incredible, especially that it is encased in an open space to see views of Seoul, but also protected with a ceiling in case it rains. There's even a couch a few meters beside the pool, if one just wants to look at the glistening water.

Axelle then led Momo to the kitchen on the second floor, which also functions as the dining area. Featuring wide windows and a big stove that has mechanical functions, activated with the push of a button, Axelle's kitchen provides a space where eventually, he could have a good time cooking with Momo or even just enjoying each other's company.

As they went through the other spaces and rooms, Momo took in the knowledge and insights she had gained from discovering her boyfriend's own little oasis. She was still fascinated with the structure and the features of everything that was displayed in front of her, but that fascination only amped up because she had Axelle beside her. His class and simplicity was something that she admired so much, and she wanted to make more memories with him in this place.

2:00 pm

At this hour, Momo and Axelle couldn't play the waiting game any longer, so they made out in the bedroom. Momo and Axelle's erotic noises filled the room, with their hands travelling around each other's bodies.

The Brit gently grazed his woman's lower lip, and the idol reciprocated it back, doing the same thing to him, and then eventually moving on to the actual kiss.

"Momo..."

"Axelle..."

The two of them continued kissing, then increasing the intensity of pleasure by cupping each other's cheeks while swirling their tongues. One of the things that made the pair continue with this act was their bodies becoming feverish. Though not scientifically proven to be an aphrodisiac, the aroma of lavender released by the diffuser lingering around the room, had combined with the other intoxicating air, which helped their love and lust grow even stronger.

Being the more dominant one yet again, Momo then pushes Axelle into the bed, making out with him on top for a few seconds more, until the idol removes her own top clothes, again, braless, like the last time. She reclined downward in order for the Brit to have closer access to her titties.

Once he does, he begins to suckle on one of them, whilst kneading the other, playing with the nipple. He did this alternatively.

"I love how you take care of my titties, darling." She moaned. "Please... play with them all you want..."

The Brit kept up with this act for a couple seconds, having been addicted to breasts, as it is his favorite body part from his darling. He then proceeds to flip himself over, orienting himself on top of her...

"Gotcha. My turn."

...and then leaning into her neck to kiss and lick it, whilst grabbing the back of her head.

"あら... You sneaky boy." Momo moaned yet again. "But I'm the one who is queen in your bed."

(あら ara = oh)

Following that, she flips herself on top of him, seemingly like a wrestling bear. Momo did not want to lose to a boy like Axelle, so to stop him from taking over this little session, the idol began to brush her tongue from his chest, making little stops by giving a peck, then doing the same process until she reached his nipple.

Axelle gasped, remembering how Momo played with his nipples that day on the roof terrace. "Shit, not again...!"

Momo was true to her thoughts, and she reached her fingers on the left nipple to rub it while playing with the other with her mouth.

"Dammit..." He blushed, hissing in pleasure. "Why are you always one step ahead of me. You're so bad, Momo..."

Momo continued to perform nipple play on Axelle. She didn't hesitate to reach for his erection as well, rubbing her delicate fingers over his boxers, her mouth still intact and playing with his right nipple.

A few seconds passed again and she pulled away from his nipple, turning his attention to his hard erection. The idol removed his shorts and underwear, throwing it on the floor. She bit her lip upon the sight of his cock, and then held the shaft before moaning out:

"Ffffuck... oh fuck, Axelle. I want your cock. I want it. Mine.  ALL MINE. "

She stuck her tongue out for a moment, producing a gob of dripping saliva to lubricate her man's cock. With the aforementioned body part now being wet with her spit, she began to stroke from the base then up the shaft, then repeat.

Momo kept eye contact with him as she shifted into the next step, licking the pre-cum off the tip as she continued to stroke the shaft. Axelle's tip was so sensitive that he could not help but cover his blushing face with his whole hand, which was deemed impossible to do.

"Momo! It's... Aghhh!!" He groaned. "Fuck, it's too sensitive! Momo, please!"

"Mhm. Keep on begging, boy. I'm going to suck you dry until I am satisfied."

Staying true to her thoughts once again, Momo tucked her hair behind her ear for a second before shoving her mouth into his cock, with the tongue settling on the underside of his shaft. She then began to move her head up and down, making slurping and moaning noises.

She would even cock her head sideways as she kept on bobbing her mouth up and down his cock, and not only were there slurping and moaning noises, but she also gagged in order for the saliva to ooze out. She then repeats the same process, unashamedly swallowing the whole of his length, still locking eyes with her darling.

"Momo... please." Axelle moaned.

She pulled away to relax her throat for a bit, and kept on stroking his cock hastily. "Have you been taking cigarettes again, Axelle? Be honest with me."

"No... I haven't. Since the first day you sucked me off."

Momo giggled. "ベリ ベリ グッド! You're such a good boy∼ Now I can get to taste your sweet, sweet cum. Let it out for me, now."

(ベリ ベリ グッド! = Very very good! In katakana)

"Woman, it's not that easy to bust a nut..." He closed his eyes and scrunched his face as he still felt Momo's hand stroking his cock.

"Then I'll keep on blowing you until you fucking cum for me."

She pulled her mouth out of him as she thought for herself, whilst her hand stayed intact and stroked the skin of his penis.

"So he isn't cumming for me, huh? This boy has great endurance indeed. Maybe if I take it a bit farther... he might. Hehehe. I should make him fuck me. I want to feel him inside of me. I will show my darling that I can make him mine."

The idol turned back to Axelle, letting go of his cock. "Hey. Do you have condoms?" She asked suggestively. 

"Wait a minute. Don't tell me we're going to—"

She put a finger on his lips. "Yes. We are going. To do. IT. If you cannot cum through my blowjob, then I'll order you to fuck me."

She leaned forward again for a sloppy kiss that lasted a couple of seconds, with Axelle even savoring the taste of his own cock from Momo's mouth. She then pulled away from the kiss slowly, leaving a string of saliva hanging on to both of their tongues.

"Now, boy. Get yourself a condom. It's time."

"Okay..." 

Following his girlfriend's command, with a thumping heart, Axelle then crawls on the bed reaching for the drawer beside it, pulling out a condom. Momo chuckled once more, because of the flavor.

"You really do have an obsession for strawberries. You're so cute, darling." Momo bit her fingernail, admiring her boyfriend with alluring eyes. "Let me help you with that."

The idol grabbed the condom away from him and tore the wrapper open with her teeth. She places the tip of the thing onto the head of Axelle's penis, and then unrolls it down the shaft all the way to the base. Now, the Brit's organ is all wrapped in this crimson-coloured, flavored rubber, which made Momo so excited, considering that she was eager to fuck her boyfriend in his very own bed, in his very own house.

After removing every piece of fabric in her upper body, yet again, she took the lead, pushing her boyfriend down the bed, as she began to go on top of his waist while holding his cock, rubbing the tip against her clit. Both Momo and Axelle let out hot, erotic breaths as the former did her act.

"Fair warning... this is my first time, Momo. but shouldn't I go on top of you instead?" Axelle asked, tilting his head sideways.

"No. For now, I will go on top of you. I will make you fuck me so hard, my little Axelle." She declared, a woman true to her word. "Again, I will make you mine. ALL MINE."

Using the swollen head of his wrapped-in-rubber cock, Momo finds the opening of her pussy, which was already dripping wet. Once she did, she moved her own body downwards his waist, feeling her walls being stretched by her darling's length.

"Aaahhh! Ohhhh! Unhhhhh! Ahhhhahhh!" Momo began to groan, her body trembling in intense ecstasy. "Fuck! It's so fucking big, Axelle! Yessss... I want this..."

"Guhhhhn... Ahhhhh! Nnnnhhh!" Axelle groaned out as well.

Momo has successfully inserted herself on Axelle. Hissing, huffing and puffing, she smilingly bit her lip, looking at her man's drunk, twitching eyes. "You're feeling it now aren't you...?" Momo chuckled. "I'm glad to be your first time, Axie∼ Thank you for the golden opportunity, darling. I can finally, FINALLY get you to fuck me REAL hard..."

The main event begins, as Momo bounces up and down on his cock, feeling the whole of its length inside her. Her juicy boobs were jiggling, the face was already red, and almost about to drip with sweat. She also closed her eyes, opening it but with the little disadvantage of them twitching because of the intense pleasure she felt. However, all of this mattered in the end. She wanted to fuck Axelle and make that mark on him. To make him stay. To make him hers.

If there was one thing that each of them took away from each other, it was their own modesty and chastity. Momo already had prior experience, because she had been touching herself way before she met Axelle, but then again, she is still getting used to an actual penis.

Axelle was also feeling his girlfriend's dominance over him as she continued to bounce up and down, hearing her mewl. With having lesser work to do in this position, he just stayed intact, lying down on the bed, all while scrunching his face, letting out huffs from his dry lips.

After a while, he noticed Momo getting a bit tired from all the bouncing considering that she put all of her weight on her bent knees. "Momo, hold still. Let me..."

As if his instinct was telling him a message, he slowly thrusted on her up and down, moving his waist while Momo was still assuming the squat position. He vocalized grunts and breaths, putting all of his weight on his hips in order for him to give Momo the proper sexual treatment that she deserves.

"Axelle." She muttered in a much cuter voice. "Yes. Yes. Yes. Axelle, please."

The couple assumed this position for a couple of minutes more, alternately doing the work in order for them to enjoy their sex, and slowly building it up, especially in the case of Axelle where he does the thrusting much faster.

They haven't even orgasmed yet. Of course, they want to enjoy the sex much longer. The Brit felt that he wanted Momo to rest, so he flipped her over on the bed to make her lie on her back, with him now assuming the top position. Her legs are placed beside Axelle's shins.

"Now would you let me do the work?" He asked with a raised eyebrow, smirking.

She sighed, grinning. "Fine. I'll allow it. Take care of me well, my darling."

The Brit guided his condom-wrapped cock into the idol's clit, rubbing the head against it teasingly. Momo moaned and breathed heavily in response to this act, but it only got louder... as he inserted his organ into her hole.

But to be certain that Axelle is actually engaged in this activity, before he begins thrusting her, Momo asked him, "Wait, Axelle. Before anything else... Are you enjoying this?"

He reclined forward, remaining in his current position. "I don't mean to be poetic, but you tempted me into this first. I can't back down on this anymore, nor do I wish to do so." Axelle declared. "If this means making me yours, then so be it. I gladly and officially welcome everything, your desires and fears, your wants and your needs. And I also wish to become yours. For keeps."

His declaration of love made Momo's heart swell with affection. She couldn't move at the moment because his penis is still inside her and not thrusting yet. However, his words made her cherish this serenely intimate moment with him, realizing and hoping that their bond will grow much stronger, not by the sex alone, but by the way he uses his words and gives her that assurance.

"Thank you so much, Axelle. It means so much to me, you know that?" Momo chuckled. "Now you can go ahead and... fuck me all you want."

He proceeded with the other part of the main event, pulling his cock out and then pushing it again inside her, pleasuring his girlfriend intensely. Momo let out moans, occasionally biting her lip because the arousal was overwhelming her whole body and mind. Axelle closed one eye, and then leaned into her neck to press his lips and tongue against her skin, heightening the pleasure.

From their regular position, Momo wraps her leg around Axelle's back, allowing the latter to deepen the penetration. Their skins are now much closer, an electric feeling surging through each of them as the Brit continues to buck his penis inside his idol girlfriend.

He then gives a sloppy kiss, twirling his tongue against hers, all while making whining sounds, which lasted for a few seconds before pulling away. Axelle's dry lips have become wet with the combined mixture of his and Momo's spit, which he eventually licked off.

To keep the sex more enjoyable, Momo switches back to being the top, straddling on top of her man, resting her knees on the bed, facing Axelle, who is lying on his back again with his knees bent a little. The idol leaned forward a bit, allowing them to have more skinship:

Their bodies resting against each other, Momo wrapping her arms around his neck, and Axelle grabbing her firm, kneadable ass.

With that, Momo begins to grind her hips on top of Axelle's pelvis. His hands were massaging her bouncing ass as well.

He would then later buck his condom-covered cock up her pussy, while Momo remained in her top position, just like last time.

"Fuck, Axelle, you're so good at this already!" Momo huffed, her hot and erratic breath being felt by the Brit's face.

"It seems..." The Brit hissed. "I'm close. So close, darling...! I-I'm about to cum, Momo!"

"Hold it in for me, baby!" She nibbled on his lower lip before saying, "I'm about to cum too! Let's cum together, my darling!"

The Brit and the idol kept on fucking, whilst kissing sloppily, which muffled their noises of arousal. Axelle did not stop pounding Momo, using the strength of his hips, and he isn't planning to...

...until a few moments later, finally, the couple reached cloud nine. Momo let out a satisfying, erotic groan as she clung on to Axelle, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck as she felt the intense high jolting throughout every corner of her skin.

A grunt came out of the Brit's mouth as he exploded, feeling the same electric feeling as his girlfriend. Every drop of semen filled up the tip of his condom, which made the man clench his eyes, and his blush reddening deeper.

Following the orgasm, Axelle affectionately interlocked Momo's hand with his and kissed her softly, in contrast to the previous sloppy kisses. Love and care permeated every aspect of it.

It was something more fervent.

More passionate.

Something deeper than even mere lust cannot suffice.

An hour has passed. The afternoon sun rays passed through the windows of Axelle's bedroom. The couple took a bath after exerting all that movement, and afterward, bringing out the Valentine's gifts that Momo gave to her darling two hours earlier.

The woman, who was wearing a bathrobe, sat on her man's lap on the edge of the bed. His arm wrapped around her waist, holding the strawberry plushie in one hand, while on the other, a Nutella-dipped strawberry that he offered with sensuality. As an accompaniment to the fruits, there is also a side of Nutella and a dollop of fluffy whipped cream.

"Try this one. It has Nutella on." Axelle says. Momo then opens her mouth, chewing on the chocolate spread-infused strawberry.

"Mmm! It is good, eh?" After swallowing, Momo gives a little peck on Axelle's lips, to which the latter responded with a soft smile.

"You're cute when you eat strawberries." He feeds himself a strawberry dipped in whipped cream.

"Shut up, boy. It's you who's cuter." Momo retorted.

"No, you!"

"Nah-ah! You!"

Axelle playfully stuck his tongue out at Momo, a cringey but also somewhat cute response to her insistence. In return, the idol raised her clenched fist in a threateningly cute manner.

In the end, their little argument/banter on who is cuter would cease for a while, continuing their own little moment of feeding each other some strawberries and the Kitkats on the edge of the bed. 

"Hey, Momo."

"Mhm?"

"Thank you." Axelle smiled.

"For what, Axelle?" Momo caressed his cheek.

"For being here, darling. Aside from the gifts of course." He nestled his head on her shoulder, giving pecks on her cheek. "I actually thought you wouldn't be coming today for Valentine's."

"I was almost about to give up on these gifts because I didn't know where your house was." Momo answered honestly. "I'm glad you spotted me back at the bank. I guess fate really brings us together in such circumstances where we don't expect it."

"You still should've told me you were coming, though!"

"Axelle, it was a surprise! I mean, that's the point, right? Not telling you at all?" Momo softly rebuts. "But then again, I didn't even know where you live. That was my mistake..."

He took hold of her chin, making her face him and then planted another peck. "You know what? How about let's not argue about that? What's important is that you're here and we are spending our Valentine's together."

"You know what, too?" She lightly taps his cheek. "I definitely agree with that. I have no schedule for later until tomorrow, so I could be able to do this..."

The idol stood up and then pushed Axelle into the bed, mischievously smiling. She then leaned down into his neck to suck and nibble on its skin. A gasp escaped from the Brit's lips, not expecting this gesture. He indeed felt a faint pain, which is not even as painful as a bee sting, but wasn't planning to stop Momo. Weirdly enough, he liked how the idol was grazing and sucking on the skin fervently, given that Momo was indirectly marking her territory.

After a few seconds, Momo drew her teeth and lips away, , leaving a love bite on his neck. He gently touched it with his fingers, locking eyes with his girlfriend.

"You're mine."

Axelle chuckled. "You don't have to say it all the time, Momo."

She looked at him with her signature big, beautiful eyes with a hint of darkness, declaring, "I'll say it even a hundred times if it means I get to have you for myself."

The young man didn't even have to speak further to even say anything about her declaration of love. Instead, he wrapped his arms around Momo's waist, closing his eyes to feel the admiration and boldness that she possesses. Not once, he had met someone like her. Someone that isn't afraid to be her true self around her darling. This was a wholesome moment for the both of them, and Axelle hoped that, some day, some month, some year...

He will get to feel more of Momo's love.

"Happy Valentine, Momo."

"Happy Valentine, Axelle."

Incheon Int'l Airport

"여행객 여러분, 인천국제공항을 선택해 주셔서 감사합니다. 안전여행 하시고 한국에서 즐거운 시간 보내시기 바랍니다. 앞으로도 다시 서비스를 제공할 수 ��기를 기대합니다."

("Dear travelers, thank you for choosing Incheon International Airport. We wish you safe travels and enjoy your time in South Korea. We look forward to serving you again in the future.")

Incheon International Airport. Since Seoul, the capital city, does not have an established airport, planes take off and land here. Reports from around the globe have stated that it is one the best airports in the world, considering their quality services, welcoming air crew and advanced accommodations and facilities.

It is currently packed with travelers and visitors to and fro Korea, and beyond the world. Everyone wanted to see the country, its culture, the sights and the great food that it had to offer.

A certain man had just claimed his baggage and is about to leave the airport, having taken an 11-hour flight from the United Kingdom. He was actually born and raised here, and was happy to be back in his home country. But besides that... he is here for an important mission.

"Ahhh..." He breathed in and out, feeling the fresh Korean air. "I'm back, 한국. Sadly, I'm on a very important mission for today. Vacations can wait."

(한국 Hangug/Hanguk = Korea)

From his coat, he takes out what seems to be a very important file, a crucial item for this task. He then begins to speak for himself, as he walks out the door of the airport.

"The flights from Heathrow had to be cancelled, so I was delayed for 28 days, goddammit. Now that I'm here... I can do the task that that Filipino 아줌마 entrusted me to do. By the way... She's super hot. And super dangerous."

(아줌마 ajumma = middle-aged woman)

He then unfolds the file that had a picture attached on the upper left corner.

"Now, she trusts me to take care of her 22-year-old son... Lucky she isn't here to reprimand me again. Why do I have to take care of an adult? What is he, a child?"

He sighed, now focusing on that picture.

"Though, I'm intrigued to see this lad. He interests me. This guy..."

"Axelle Hutchison."

Very initial thoughts about Starfield

Based on the first 30-45 minutes or so, the thing that stuck out to me the most:

There are so many toilets in this game!

Every interior space I've been in so far has had a designated bathroom with a toilet. That makes sense from a human perspective, but is unexpected for a Bethesda game. I've been replaying Skyrim recently, and there are a few forts or bandit hideouts with a strategically placed bucket and the Yellow Book of Riddles on a dresser nearby, but for the most part, no toilets, no latrines, no wash basins, nothing. Not even in my own home. I have no idea where any of the Jarls shit.

I'll write more about the wider implications of this once I'm a few hundred hours into this game. It definitely has meme potential, but I'm not yet sure that it's on Skyrim's level.

A Brief Guide To Choosing the Right Kitchen Sink

Selecting the appropriate kitchen sink is crucial when building a new kitchen or updating an existing one. It is a centerpiece that you can utilize to maximize and enhance your kitchen area, not just a utilitarian component. But what is stranger still? When selecting the ideal kitchen sink, a person may become perplexed and misled by the abundance of options. This guide will help you narrow down your options and determine some important factors, such as the sink’s material, design, and type, so you can choose wisely and easily integrate the sink into your kitchen’s decor.

Material Matters: Reliability and Look

Among the first questions that could arise when choosing a kitchen sink is the sink material. Color and texture are not only a look and feel issue, but are also important in terms of how well the material will stand up to wear and how difficult it will be to clean. Here are some popular options:

1. Stainless Steel Kitchen Sink

Stainless steel, without a doubt, is entirely common among kitchen sinks because of their durability, reasonable price, and the appearance of the material. It is heat and stain-resistant; hence, suitable for use in kitchens where food splashes are common. Also, the stainless steel kitchen sink can be easily cleaned and can match different designs of the kitchen, from a modern to an industrial outlook.

2. Handmade Kitchen Sink

If used as a focal point in the interior — a handmade sink is a far better choice than a ready-made sink bought in a store. Hand-made kitchen sinks can be made of different types of materials such as copper, granite, and fireclay. While these sinks are relatively more costly than some of the other makes and models, they give a unique, luxurious appearance.

3. Composite Granite

Granite composite sinks are made up of crushed stones and resin and thus, they are hard-wearing and not easily scratched or chipped. They also come in different shades which allows one to easily match the sink to the color of one’s kitchen.

4. Fireclay

Despite the differences in the material used on the outside part of the sink, fireclay sinks are famous for the farmhouse look that they possess. They are modeled from clay and baked to a polished glaze and are not easily scratched or stained since they are baked at high temperatures. However, they are more fragile than cast iron and can chip if not handled well, or if they come into contact with a hard surface.

Style and Configuration: Function Meets Form

Many factors in the sink selection include; how you want your kitchen sink to look and where you want it located. Whether it should just be a single, a double, or even a tri-compartment depending on how you intend to use your kitchen. From where should I select these sinks? Well, the answer for this could be Essel Bath Fittings — it is a place where you can find a plethora of sink options to fit your kitchen. Let’s explore the options:

1. Single Bowl Sink

The Single Bowl means that there is one single flat area for a sink that gives a large clear workspace for activities such as washing large pots and pans. This option is suitable where counter space is limited and if you rely on a dishwasher almost exclusively.

2. Double Kitchen Sink

A double kitchen sink is convenient in that it can be used for two operations at the same time. One can be used for washing and the other for rinsing the dishes or one is used for washing the food items while the other for washing the utensils. There are mainly two types of double sink designs; the equal double sink and the offset double sink.

3. Farmhouse (Apron-Front) Sink

This type of kitchen sink is large, wide, and very deep. It boasts of a front façade, and uses raw materials in its construction. Such sinks are normally single or double bowls and are suitable for those who require a wide and convenient basin for the preparation of meals and washing.

4. Undermount vs. Top-Mount

Undermount sinks — under the countertop level, with a well-finished edge to match, and a good place for a quick swipe with a rag to clear counters of crumbs and spills. Top-mounted (or drop-in) sinks are placed above the counter with a flange visible on top of the counter. They are rather easy to set and very ideal for any home with DIY enthusiasts.

Take Into Account the Organizational Style of Homes Kitchens

Kitchen sinks also have to complement the layout and kitchen design. This is why it is important to consider the kitchen style when looking for a sink. For example, an undermount stainless steel kitchen sink could be appropriate for a minimalist modern kitchen and at the same time, a handmade ceramic kitchen sink could be the best choice for the traditional-style kitchen.

Final Thoughts

Selecting the right kitchen sink is therefore a process that one has to consider the looks, usability, and sturdiness. From cute handmade kitchen sinks with stylish shades from the artisan or an affordable stainless kitchen sink with the heft for the task or easily accommodated two kitchen sinks within the kitchen workspace, be sure that the sink selected meets your need for the day as well as add to the aesthetics of the room.

Finally, the right sink is not only the functional organizer of a work area in the kitchen but also, a perfectly fitting decoration that completes the overall ensemble. It is, however important, that you take your time and look for a sink that will suit your kitchen habits and be useful for many years.

Unique Bathroom Accent Wall Ideas to Make a Statement 

Introduction

What are bathroom accent wall ideas?

bathroom accent wall ideas have always been a perfect solution to breathe some character into your bathroom. An accent wall is considered to be different from a full-room makeover because it lets you work interior a specific segment, which of course, produces an awesome impact but not as overpowering as when the entire room has been repainted.

Importance of Accent Walls in Bathroom Design

A visual change as simple as painting one wall of a bathroom a contrasting color can drastically raise the aesthetics of the room. It catches the attention, accentuates details and can even turn a small bathroom in to a cozy one. Basically, no matter if you like a contemporary, rough, or traditional style, there is an accent wall idea that will be to your liking and add some spice to your bathroom interior.

Choosing the Right Wall for an Accent

Identifying the Focal Point

The first major decision when starting on a bathroom accent wall ideas is the selection of the wall. Generally, the emphasis is made on the wall that is situated behind the bathtub or the wash basin. Attention is immediately pulled to this wall, for this reason it was imperative that we take it as the accent wall.

Considering Wall Size and Shape

Next, refer to the size and the shape of the wall where the artwork will be placed. A wall without breaks is perfect for big patterns or bright coloration, a small wall is preferable for detailed patterns and different materials.

Types of Bathroom Accent Walls

Tile Accent Walls

Ceramic Tiles

Another common way people use ceramics is in giving any of the bathroom walls a splash of color by tiling the wall with them. They are relatively hard wearing, relatively waterproof and virtually permanently available in an infinite choice of designs and colors. Ceramic tiles can provide the house a polished modern appearance; these are glossy or matte styled.

Porcelain Tiles

Porcelain tiles are the other great one that can be used in the balconies and around the houses. It is denser and more water resistant than ceramic tiles, thus they are suitable for use in the bathroom. Porcelain tiles tend to resemble the natural stones but are a bit less rigorous and give the interior a rich touch.

Mosaic Tiles

Bathrooms can be fitted with mosaics, which create a beautiful art of your bathroom. These are small tiles that are available in a variety of materials which include glass, stone, ceramic, among others; this makes it very easy to create different patterned designs.

Painted Accent Walls

Bold Colors

If there is one that definitely captures the attention of a room, then it has to be a painted accent wall. Soot and other very dark shades, such as deep blue or green or bright yellow will help make a decision. Select a colour that harmonises with the other colours used in the bathroom to achieve a harmonise appearance.

Patterns and Stencils

It is possible to also apply interesting patterns or stencils on the painted accent wall to give it a designer look. Which style do you prefer geometric shapes, floral design, or even abstractions, you never bored in the bathroom.

Wallpaper Accent Walls

Waterproof Wallpapers

Now it is not a thing of the past to hang wallpapers only in the living rooms or bedrooms. Since waterproof versions are produced now, you can easily add the beautiful wallpaper to accentuate the bathroom wall. Focus on the details and seek for he patterns and textures that will give the character.

Bold Prints and Textures

Large and strict patterns are perfect for making a boring bathroom look like a stylish vip-zone. Starting from exotic stripes to solid materials, shiny and smooth metals, there is a wallpaper for everyone.

Wood Accent Walls

Shiplap

Shiplap is widely used to create the rough look in the designing of a bathroom space. These are used in mainland Europe and the horizontal wooden planks used give a farmhouse type of feel. Finished in white or some pastel color, this shiplap can make the corner look better and cozier.

Reclaimed Wood

Reclaimed wood as a material for your accent wall is a special look that is sustainable for your bathroom. Each beam tells a story, which gives personality and homeliness to a room. This choice looks best in rustic or industrial style of the bathroom since the pipes are the main damask of such style.

Stone Accent Walls

Natural Stone

Designers like to use stones to create the accent walls because the natural surfaces of the stones give luxury and refinement to interiors. Natural stones or others such as marble, granites, and slate give the bathroom an aesthetic look of a spa. Do not forget that natural stone usually needs to be sealed and should be maintained well if it has to shine all the time.

Faux Stone Panels

If natural stone is not feasible, go for faux stone panels, as they are within the average man’s reach. These panels resemble real stone but do not cost as much and are much easier to work with. They are also lighter, particularly those that are sold for do-it-yourself projects.

DIY vs. Professional Installation

Pros and Cons of DIY

Creating an accent wall yourself can be a rewarding project. It allows you to customize the design to your exact preferences and can save you money on labor costs. However, DIY projects demand time, effort, and a specific level of skill. Be prepared for some trial and error, especially if you're using materials like tile or wood.

When to Hire a Professional

If your accent wall project involves complex materials or requires structural changes, it might be best to hire a professional. A professional can guarantee the job is completed correctly and safely, saving you time and potential hassle.

Budget-Friendly Ideas

Affordable Materials

You don't have to break the bank to create a beautiful bathroom accent wall ideas. Affordable materials like peel-and-stick tiles, paint, or DIY stencils can achieve a high-end look without the high-end price tag.

DIY Tips and Tricks

Get creative with your DIY approach. Use leftover materials, shop for sales, or repurpose items you already have. Simple techniques like painting an accent wall or applying a temporary wallpaper can make a big impact on a small budget.

Conclusion

A bathroom accent wall ideas you make is always a good way to put personality and character into a room. It does not matter if you choose the primary and vivid colors, complex geometric patterns on tiles, or just the warm shades of the rustic wooden pourtings: there is an amazing variety of interesting ideas to try. Of course it is necessary to take into account the money you are willing to spend, location of the wall, and the overall conception of the bathroom. If done rightly your accent wall is capable of making your bathroom look as good as a retreat area.

Innovation in cartoon washbasin design

Cartoon wash basins have evolved significantly in recent years, driven by innovation in design and materials. These whimsical yet functional fixtures play a crucial role in both residential and commercial settings, combining practicality with aesthetic appeal. This article explores the new trends and technological advancements shaping the landscape of cartoon wash basin design today.

Design Aesthetics and Themes

Cartoon wash basins are celebrated for their ability to inject a sense of playfulness into everyday spaces. Designers have embraced a wide range of themes, from beloved cartoon characters to abstract artistic expressions. Each basin is crafted to reflect not only its functional purpose but also to serve as a focal point of visual interest in bathrooms and other washing areas. The use of vibrant colors and imaginative shapes distinguishes these basins from traditional designs, appealing particularly to younger demographics and those with a penchant for creative interior décor.

Material Innovations

Advancements in material sciences have revolutionized the manufacturing of cartoon wash basins. High-quality polymers and composite materials are now widely used, offering durability and versatility without compromising on design flexibility. These materials allow for intricate detailing and the replication of intricate cartoon motifs, ensuring that each basin retains its aesthetic appeal over time. Moreover, the use of eco-friendly materials aligns with growing consumer preferences towards sustainability, making cartoon wash basins not only visually appealing but also environmentally responsible choices for modern homes and businesses.

Functional Design Features
