Usually I would complain about the cold and enjoy the warm weather.
However daybreak town's heat has been absolutely disrespectful lately.

My union members were showing each other their cards and medals and I overheard their conversation.
Why did one of them just call a grown man from the future their "baby girl"?

The one thing they don't tell you about becoming a keyblade master is all the paperwork you need to do once you are one and are in charge.

I still have a really big soft spot for ESO's class design tbh, I think having to realistically make every spec able to perform every MMO role while also having to make every one of those classes feel noticeably unique and different even in the same role was a really fun design decision

Open Union sign ups are posted on the bulletin board in the center of daybreak town. Please wait 3-5 business days for applications to be processed and your keyblade to manifest. We are not responsible for any lack of keyblade manifestation. I believe our policy regarding this is "get a stronger heart" and "try again later".
We apologize for the inconvenience
Man fuck bears, im more of a snake guy myself.

Cozy Morning 
✿ Sylus x fem!reader
✿ He's not much of a morning person, unless you're with him.
✿ pure fluff.
────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ────────୨ৎ──────
The quiet weekend morning was something of a luxury for Sylus who was so used to being busy, running his faction and everything. Today, however, all he wished to do was stay cooped up in his hotel room and spend his morning idly lying on his back with you lying on his chest, your head tucked under his chin.
“Hey, Sy..?”
The sound of your voice broke the comfortable silence, and Sylus's gaze, previously focused on the ceiling, shifted down to look at you.
"Mmh? What is it, sweetie?"
You looked up at him, your cheek pressed against his chest as your soft eyes gazed into his filled with affection for the crimson eyed man. "I love you."
Sylus's gaze softened, filled with a tenderness he only showed to the woman in his arms. Hearing those words, he felt a flutter in his heart, and his hand immediately came to rest on the crown of your head, fingers gently running through your soft locks.
"Hm. I love you too." He responded, his gaze returning to the ceiling as he wrapped his strong arms around you. Giving you a gentle squeeze, enjoying the feeling of your body against his. "Anything else you wanted to say or were you just being clingy again?"
You chuckled softly, nuzzling your cheek against his chest as you let out a small sigh, your eyes slowly fluttering close in contentment. "Just wanna say I love you, that's all."
Sylus's lips tugged into a small smile at your admission, his fingers continuing to run through your hair, gently massaging your scalp. "Is that so?"
He shifted slightly so you were pulled flushed against him, one of his legs hooked over yours, effectively trapping you within his hold.
"You've been so clingy lately," He continued, his smirk evident in his voice. "Miss me that badly this weekend, hm?"
You chuckled at his words, wrapping an arm around his chest as you made yourself comfortable in his embrace. "Maybe I just like spending time with you."
You paused for a moment before adding, "Plus, you have the best chest to lie down on."
At your words, Sylus let out an amused scoff, his chest puffed proudly.
"Is that all I am to you now?" He joked, he tightened his hold on you, pulling you even closer against him, his large frame dwarfing your smaller one. "Just a body pillow to lie upon?"
You giggled at his words, snuggling playfully against him, a sly smile played upon your lips.
"Hmm, not just a body pillow," You teased, your fingers tracing a gentle path over his pecs. "You're also a personal heater, human shield, and extremely talented stress reliever."
Sylus chuckled, a low, amused rumble in his chest at your words. Your fingers tracing over his pecs sent a small shiver through him and he immediately took your hand in his, effectively ceasing your soft caresses.
"You're far too cheeky," He muttered, bringing your hand up to his lips and pressing a gentle kiss against your knuckles. "One day your smartass mouth will land you in trouble, you know."
Your smirk widened at his words, your head tilting to the side as your sparkling gaze met his amused ones.
"But that's part of my charm," You replied, your tone teasing as you booped his nose playfully. "You wouldn't want me any other way, would you?"
Sylus's expression softened, his gaze drifting to the ceiling once more. He knew you were right, no matter how much your sass and back-talk annoyed him sometimes, he wouldn't have you any other way, ever.
"No, I suppose not," He admitted with a slight shrug, his fingers going back to idly playing with your hair, he gave you a gentle squeeze. "You can be quite a brat, though."
"A brat that you love," You teased back, sticking out your tongue at him. Shifting slightly in his embrace, you pressed your body more firmly against his, savoring the warmth of his body and the steady thump of his heartbeat against your ear. Your fingers resumed their gentle caresses over his chest, tracing invisible patterns on his skin.
Sylus rolled his eyes, the corners of his lips twitching upwards at your playful gesture.
"Unfortunately," He quipped, the word carrying a hint of affectionate amusement. His free hand came to rest on the curve of your hip, his thumb gently tracing circles over your skin through the fabric of your clothes.
The feel of you pressing against him, your cheek resting on his chest, your fingers tracing over his skin, all of it just made him want to cling to you a little tighter.
After a while of laying in each other's embrace, you and Sylus remained quiet. The room was filled with a comfortable silence, broken only by the sound of their breathing. 
Sylus's fingers continued to idly run through your hair as he held you close against him, feeling a sense of peace and contentment wash over him. With a soft smile, he gently placed a kiss on the top of your head before closing his eyes and basking in the warmth of your presence.
As his lips gently pressed against your head, a small smile tugged at your lips. You snuggled even closer, feeling a sense of comfort and security in his arms.
You relaxed in his embrace, your own hand coming to rest on his chest, feeling the steady thump of his heart. Your eyes drifted shut as you savored the moment. The peaceful silence, the warmth of his body against yours, the soothing rhythm of his breaths. It was moments like these that you treasured the most.
Time seemed to stand still as they laid together in the serene room. The world outside their small sanctuary faded away. It was just the two of them, wrapped up in their own bubble of love and closeness.

you are in love IV || joe burrow x reader
Tumblr media
description: you and joe are embarking on a weeks long trip to France for work, Cannes being your first stop
a/n: okay so this was way longer than planned but i could not stop adding to it LOL. hope you guys love it ;)
also, I tried something new and added a little instagram bit to the fic at the end! not sure how I feel about it yet, but I’m kinda digging it? that kinda thing will be in the next few fics but it’s not a regular thing :) just for the upcoming bit
word count: 17.1 k (i genuinely didn’t intend for this to be this long oh my god)
warnings: language, smut, you both are HORNY
you are in love series masterlist (has all previous parts)
———————————————————
“Did you pack everything?” you asked Joe for what felt like the 100th time as you grabbed your phone and tote bag before leaving the garage. 
“Yes, I packed everything,” he rolled his eyes as he closed the car trunk. You had been on Joe for the past 4 days making sure that everything was settled for your week-long trip to France and although he loved you and your mom-like antics when it came to trips, he was getting a bit irritated with the constant ‘are you packed?’ and ‘did you get everything?’ questions. 
“I just want to make sure we have everything since we’ll be gone for a week,” you smile as you place your stuff in the car’s passenger seat.
“We have everything, I promise,” he chuckles as he punches in the code to close the garage before walking closer to you and wrapping his arms around your waist. “You’re the one that is used to all the international traveling, so why are you the one that’s stressing out?”. 
“Because this trip is important for you,” you say as you wrap your arms around his neck. “I just want to make sure everything is perfect,”. 
“It is perfect. The fact that you’re coming with me makes all of this even more perfect,” he says as he kisses your lips.
“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” you smile. “We’re going to have sooo much fun at the events and around the city,”.
“Around the city? Absolutely. At the events? Probably not,” he sighs, his smile faltering, 
You watched as his smile dropped a bit, most likely because of the fact that Joe was not a fan of these types of things. He didn’t particularly enjoy public speaking, media events, or anything that required him to be out there. His anxiety would skyrocket in these kinds of situations but he still managed to put on a brave face and do what he had to do. This whole week was going to consist of that, and he was not looking forward to it. He was, however, looking forward to spending time with you in the beautiful French Riviera (which even you haven’t been to) and then the City of Love a few days later and you being with him was the only thing keeping him going. 
“Hey, I know this is not the most fun and ideal situation for you, but I’m so proud of you for putting yourself out there like this. I know talking in front of an audience is overwhelming but you’ve gotten a lot better at it and I know you can do it. Branching out is never easy, but you’re doing amazing so far. Getting to walk the freaking runway in Paris is absolutely insane and I am so fucking proud of you. I’ll be with you every step of the way, so if you need anything, I’m here,” you say as you brush a few of his curls out of his eyes. 
“Where have you been all my life,” Joe says as he slides his hand up and down your lower back. “I seriously could’ve used you in my corner back when I first came into the league because then all of this wouldn’t be so hard,”. 
You let out a soft laugh, “I’ve been right under your nose,” you say as you press a kiss to his nose. “The universe brought us to each other at the right time,”.
“I still can’t believe how many events we went to at the same time but never met until the White Party,” he chuckled. You and Joe had been around each other many times before the White Party, you just never knew that since your paths never crossed. You called it the “Invisible String Theory”. You could have walked past each other, you could have mutual friends, or even have been complete strangers and never had heard of each other, but the universe wouldn’t have you both meet until the exact moment that you needed each other in your lives.
“The universe knew when we needed each other,” you blushed. 
“The stars all aligned just for us,” he said as he tucked your hair behind your ear. 
“I love that we have the universe on our side,” you said. “It’ll be good to get away from everything together, I think we deserve a break,”. 
“Damn right we do,” he laughs. “Can’t wait to be done with all the boring stuff and get to enjoy the fruits of my labor with my gorgeous girlfriend,”. 
“Oh yeah? What fruits will we be enjoying?” you say as you raise your eyebrow. 
“Hmm, I was thinking a boat day plus private sunset dinner on said boat, walking around the city with you without any crazed fans hounding us, and my personal favorite, the massive bedroom suite they’re hooking me up with that has a gigantic bed and a jacuzzi tub,” he winks. “If you’re picking up what I’m putting down,” he adds as you feel his hand fall down to your butt. 
“Ohhh,” you replied, a smirk appearing on your face. “It’s a great thing I packed extra Advil in my bag. I have a feeling I’ll need it,”.
“Oh, you will. I don’t think I’ll be able to contain myself since we have the big suite with nobody else on our floor. No neighbors in a foreign city is just an invitation to be as loud as we want” he whispers into your ear before moving past you to open up your door again, leaving you with a stunned expression on your face and butterflies in your stomach. Joe always kept you on your toes, something you needed in your life. He was equal parts affectionate, genuine, and lustful; the perfect lover and best friend at the same time. 
“Shall we Mon Amour?” He asks, squeezing in a bit of French that he memorized earlier.
You turn around and smile at Joe calling you ‘my love’ in French, “Oh, so we’re going full France now?”.
“It’s only fitting,” he shrugged. 
“Well then, we shall Mon Amant,” you grin, surprising him with a bit of French you picked up last time you went to France. 
“Hm?” he said with a confused look as he moved aside to let you in the car. 
“It means ‘My Lover’,” you giggle as you sit inside.
He leans down and meets your face, “Well then, Mon Amant, I can’t wait to do this trip with you,” he says before pressing a sweet kiss to your lips and then closing your car door. You fell back into the seat, your cheeks a shade of red that only Joe could bring out.  
An hour later
After driving to the airport and loading everything onto the private jet, you get settled into the plane and are now on your way to France. You change into some more comfortable clothes since the flight is about 12 hours, Joe doing the same. 
“I hope you’re prepared to be on a plane for 12 hours,” you say as you sit down across from Joe. 
“If I go to sleep it’ll go by pretty fast,” he shrugs.
“And how do I keep myself entertained then?” you scoff as you lightly kick his foot. 
“There is a bed back there for a reason you know,” he winks as he points back to the small bedroom. “We can both go to ‘sleep’ for a bit,” he says as he makes air quotes around ‘sleep’.
“We’ve been on here for 20 minutes and you’re already horny,” you laugh. 
“Can’t help it when I’m around you,” he says with a smirk on his face. “You’re the most breathtaking woman I’ve ever seen so naturally the level of testosterone will skyrocket”. 
“Anywayyy,” you say, trying to change the subject before you fold because of his words and end up in the bedroom. “I’m excited to come with you to the Sport Beach events. I can’t wait to see you on the panels all professional and social,”.
“Really? I thought you’d be bored of sitting there listening to me talk about branding and media for god knows how long,” he said.
“It may be a little boring, but I love watching you do your thing,” you smile as you pull out your water bottle to take a sip before handing it to Joe.
“My thing is playing football, not sitting at a panel and talking to strangers in front of an audience,” he says as he takes a sip of water. 
“I know you hate these kinda things but I’m proud of you for putting yourself out there. I know how overwhelming it can get when you have a thousand eyes on you dissecting every little thing you say”. 
“Yeah,” he sighs. “I guess this is the price of what we do,”.
“At least we have each other now,” you say as you reach for his hand across the table between you both. 
“Thank god,” he groans, making you laugh at his facial expression. “Having someone that gets me and understands the kind of spotlight on me really makes all the difference,”.
“I feel the same way,” you say as you kiss his hand. “You get me and I get you,”.
“We’re like two peas in a pod,” he smiles.
“Precisely,” you nod. You understood the pedestal that Joe was on and everything that came along with what he did, and he understood the same for you. Although what you both did was extremely different, you still had a deep understanding of one another on that level. 
“Did you think more about how we’re going to make ourselves official as a couple to the public?” he asked, his face scrunching up as soon as the words left his mouth. “That sounds so fucking weird,” he laughed.
“Tell me about it,” you giggled. 
Before your trip, you and Joe had talked about what you would do if and when people started to spot you around Cannes or Paris. You weren’t expecting a lot of attention since you were in a foreign country, but you were sure you were going to get some since a lot of athletes & industry people were going to be in France this week. You had a pretty big international reach as well, but still weren’t expecting people to notice you that much since nobody usually bothered you. The public already saw you at a few games in January but there was no real confirmation as to what was going on between you two, just some rumors and speculation. You had been together for about 9 months now and it had been 9 months of pure joy and love. You had been lucky enough to have the leisure of getting to know each other and building your relationship away from prying eyes, and now that you two were at a point in your relationship where you were okay with letting people in (only a little bit though), you had to figure out a way to do so before that right was taken away against your will.
“I don’t really know to be honest. I haven’t really ever had the comfort of ever sharing my relationships on my own terms,” you say as you roll your eyes, remembering how the public was so invested in your private life that it was incredibly difficult to keep things such as your relationship a secret. “This is new territory for me,” you say as you smile again as you think about how you and Joe’s relationship was different than any other relationship you’d been in before. 
This relationship was private. For once it was just yours. 
It wasn’t placed on a silver platter like every other relationship and presented to the public for them to pick at it or dissect every piece of it. You and Joe had kept your love away from all the interloper’s glances and unwanted opinions so that your relationship could flourish naturally, which it was. It was more than flourishing, it was blossoming into something special. 
The fact that you two were in a spot in your relationship where you didn’t mind willingly opening the window a little bit was exciting. You’d never had the opportunity to do it on your own terms, and now you had the chance to. You both were ready to share it with others. 
“I say, just wear a shirt that says Burrow’s Girlfriend, and I’ll wear one that says Y/N’s Boyfriend,” he laughed.
Joe’s laughter was the greatest sound you had ever heard. The way his nose would scrunch up and the crinkles would form around his eyes when he laughed was the most adorable sight in the world, and you got to see it whenever you wanted. 
“That would be hilarious,” you said as you started imagining it. You couldn’t really come up with any real ideas on how to approach the subject of going official, the only one really making sense was to just be spotted together.
“I mean, I’ll be at your panels in Cannes and with you during Fashion Week, that should be enough for people to get a hint,” you smile. “I’m sure we’ll get a good amount of headlines and front cover photos when they get the hint,”. 
“That’s true,” he nodded. “Maybe an Instagram Post too? So that they understand that it’s not just a fling, a Hard Launch is what they call it I guess. Unless that’s a lot for you,”. Joe didn’t want to pressure you into anything, knowing how your past relationships were so public and what the negative effects were for them being so open. Posting each other on Instagram was a pretty big deal since everyone could see it and since you two were pretty private. Joe had always been private with his personal life and you had started to as well over the past few years once you realized what being open truly means. 
“It’s not too much for me,” you grin. “I know how I feel about you and I don’t care what anyone has to say about it,”. 
The fact that those words were coming out of your mouth was insane, but it was true. Joe brought out that side of you that you tucked away most of the time. That side of you that’s carefree, loose, and alive. 
“I’m glad you feel that way,” he said as he felt himself melt away from your reassuring smile. 
“Thank you for making me feel that way,” you wink.
Joe gave you a lazy smile as he felt his tiredness settle in, his eyes feeling a bit heavy. 
“You can go back there and take a nap if you want,” you say, noticing his sleepiness. “I’ll join you in a bit. I just need to call my manager for a bit to talk about the Grammys next month,”. 
One of the biggest nights of your career, the illustrious Grammy Awards, was next month and you were up for 3 awards. You were nominated for Album of the Year, Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year for your last album's lead single ‘Is It Over Now?’. Turns out people loved an album about the most gut-wrenching breakup you’d ever experienced and related heavily to a song about an on-again off-again relationship that never had any clarity in it. 
“Ooo, fun,” he yawned as he stretched his arms out. “Isn’t this when you said you’d announce the new album?”.
“Hopefully. If all goes to plan and I win at least 1 of the 3 categories I’m nominated for, I’m going to announce ‘reputation’ then. If I don’t win, I’ll just drop the Instagram post announcement and leave it at that,”. 
“Reputation,” he says, the word rolling off of his tongue so nicely. “I’ll never get over that name, it’s so sick,” he says. “I better still be getting one of those wristbands with the album name on it that you're selling for the album merch. I want to add it to my stack,” he said, pointing at his stack of wristbands he had on his wrist; all of which had a special meaning to him. Now he wanted to add another one, one for you. 
“Actually,” you smiled while reaching into your pocket, pulling out a black wristband that had the album name in white stamped on it with a green snake on the other side. “I got this a few days ago. First ever one,”.
“This is so sick,” he said as he looked at the band, taking it from your hand and slipping it onto his wrist. “Fits perfectly with the rest and now I’ll always have you with me. And I’ll get to rep the best album in the world every day,”.
“Aww, Joe,” you blushed. “I’m glad you like it since you were my muse for about 95% of it,” you say as you get up from your seat to grab your laptop to video chat with your manager. 
“The other 5% kills me,” he sighed. 
“I know, but to tell the story I had to add the not-so-happy stuff into it for it all to make sense,” you said as you opened your bag. 
“Fair point. I will say that even though ‘The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived’ is about someone and something I’d rather not talk about, it’s one of the best songs you’ve written,” he said, referring to your ex-boyfriend or situationship as you liked to call it. 
“I knew you’d like it,” you smiled.
“I mean you really came for his neck with the bridge,” he shrugged. “Badass behavior,”.
“Being a badass is fun sometimes,” you nodded. “Besides, I don’t care what he thinks. He knows what he did and deserves to be called out for it,”.
“I love it when you get petty,” he shakes his head out of admiration, a soft laugh leaving your lips. “Wait so does this mean I get to go with you to the Grammys? Since I’m your muse?” he asked.
“You want to? Like for real?” you ask him as you start to play with your necklace, the letter “J” pendant Joe gave you for your 1 month anniversary. 
“Absolutely. I want to support you just like how you support me,” he said as he got up from his seat and walked over to you. “Besides, I want to see everyone’s reaction when you sweep all 3 categories and announce next year's album of the year all in one go,” he said as he pressed a kiss to your cheek. 
“We’ll see about that. I’ll be lucky if I even win 1 category,” you replied as you stared at your feet. “Having you with me would mean the world though,”.
He moved his hand under your chin, lifting your face up so that you were looking into his eyes. “You’re going to win, trust me. And now that I’m going with you, I’ll make sure of it,”.
“What are you going to do? Swap the names?” you giggle. 
“Something like that,” he winked. 
“I can’t wait to see you try,” you say as you lean in to kiss him, your arms wrapping around his neck and his around your waist. 
After holding the kiss for a few moments, you pull away. “You go take a nap and I’ll be there in a bit,” you say as you turn around to grab him a plush blanket from your bag. 
“You better hurry up,” he said as he grabbed the blanket, kissed your cheek, and started walking to the mini bedroom. 
“I will but no funny business, Burrow,” you warn him.
“We’ll see about that,” he mumbled before closing the door, leaving you with a radiant smile on your face and a serene feeling inside of you. 
A Half Hour later 
You wrapped up your exciting call with your manager before falling back into the seat and taking a deep breath. You had just finalized your album’s tracklist and release date and now it was starting to feel real. You couldn’t remember the last time you felt so excited to release music since both times you had in the past were not very enjoyable. The release of your debut album had your stomach in knots for weeks before it came out as you were terrified that people wouldn’t enjoy it or that it wouldn’t do well. The release of your second album had you petrified at the thought of how the public would react to what the album was about. All you could think about was if what you wrote was too much and if people would resonate with your feelings or turn on you for trying to ‘push a narrative’.
When writing and working on both albums you were also second-guessing yourself every step of the way. Maybe it was because of the company around you, or maybe it was because of the things you were experiencing while working on them. This time, however, you were fully confident in what you were doing, not caring about what others thought or letting people’s opinions of you define your work. You were relaxed, enthusiastic, confident, and happy, it was the ‘Joe Effect’. 
You placed your laptop bag in your bag and then had a nice stretch before you walked over to the bedroom. You carefully opened the door, trying not to make any loud noises that would wake Joe up. You saw him sprawled out on the mattress, his mouth slightly open as you heard faint snores leaving his lips. 
You turned around and closed the door and when you looked back at Joe, his eyes were open and he was looking over at you. 
“I didn’t mean to wake you up,” you softly said as you crawled into the bed next to him. 
“I dozed off for 5 minutes, it’s fine,” he said as he opened up the blanket and covered your legs with it. 
“Can’t sleep?” you asked him.
“Can’t sleep without you,” he smiled as he moved his arm around your shoulder and pulled you into his chest. “What did you and your manager talk about?” he asked while he rubbed your shoulder.
“Tracklist and Release Date,” you smile as you tangle your legs with his and place your hand on his neck, rubbing his soft skin.
“Ah,” he nods. “How's it looking?”.
“Well, tracks 1-8 are all the unhappy things and stuff that led up to us meeting, track 9 is the start of the songs about us,” you beamed.
“Track 9? Real subtle,” he blushed.
“Track 9 deserves its time to shine which is also why it’s a lead single,” you smiled. 
“I feel so special,” he said, batting his eyelashes and fanning himself.
“Okayyy your majesty let’s come back down to earth,” you joked. “After that, there’s a long stretch of 9 songs just about us, then there’s like 3 songs about some other stuff and then the final 6 are about us as well,”.
Joe nodded and squeezed your hand, “What about the release date? When does the world get to hear the best album ever made?”.
You close your eyes and push your head into his neck, hiding the smile that Joe put on your face by once again complimenting you. 
You pull your head out a second later, butterflies in your stomach as you think about the release date. Not only was the release date the day you were releasing what was basically a diary of memories from the past 9 months, but it was also a special day for you and Joe. 
“July 4th,” you say as you meet his eyes. 
“The anniversary of the day we met,” he said to you, his eyes softening as he felt his heart gush.
“Mhm,” you blush. “One of the most special days of my life. Only fitting since I wrote so many songs about you and about that day,” you said. 
He gazed into your eyes for a few quiet moments, unable to come up with any other words to express his feelings other than, “I love you,”. 
And that was fine. You didn’t need him to say anything else because you knew how he felt about you. After all, he never failed to show you. Although it was just 3 words, he knew those 3 words meant the world to you, especially if they came from him. 
“I love you more than anyone in the world,” you say to him before you feel him lean in and kiss your lips. 
You pull him closer as the kiss quickly turns heated, Joe moving you down flat against the bed so that you are lying on your back and he is on top of you. You pulled away and laughed at how Joe looked like a child who just got candy taken away from them. 
“Hey, what was that for?” he grumbled.
“I said no funny business remember,” you said proudly, knowing the hold you had over him. 
“I didn’t think you were being serious,” he said as his eyes widened. “We’re on this plane for 12 hours and you really expect us to not have some fun,”.
“Watching movies is fun,” you grin. “Playing games is fun. Eating the snacks I bought is fun,”. 
He looked at you for a few seconds, a smirk on his face as his hand started rubbing your hip. “I could eat,” he said. 
“Okay, perfect. I brought Oreos, Fruit, Pretzels…” you start to say before he interrupts you. 
“None of that sounds good,” he said, his hand slowly moving down to your thigh. 
“You didn’t let me finish,” you laughed. “I have more stuff in my bag. I’ll go get it,” you say, trying to get up from the bed but Joe doesn’t let you. 
“I don’t think you have what I want out there,” he said, his face moving closer to yours. 
You rolled your eyes, “Then what do you want to eat because I got a lot of snacks, many of which you love,”.
“You,” he purred, his eyes turning a darker shade of blue, a familiar shade of blue though. “I want you,”.
You searched his eyes for a few moments, your body feeling hot at the thought of what Joe was implying. “Joe,” you whispered, his hands now cupping your mound. 
“I want to make you feel good,” he said as he leaned down to press a gentle kiss to your ear. “If you’ll let me,”. 
There was nobody on the plane but you two, the pilot, and the flight attendant; both of which were all the way in the front while you were in the back. If you did something, they would most likely not be able to hear you. 
“We have to be quiet though,” you said, easily giving in to his words.
“You have to be quiet. I’m just here to have a sweet treat and make my girlfriend feel good,” he said as you felt him slip his hand inside your shorts.
You rolled your eyes before pushing his head down and crashing your lips against his, both moving against each other in a sensual tango. You felt his fingers teasing your folds through your lace panty, your wetness seeping through. 
“Already so wet?” he smirked after he pulled away.
“Shut up,” you said as you pulled him back down to the kiss.
He took his hand out of your shorts and rested it on your waist, using his other hand to grab your leg and wrap it around his waist as he deepened the kiss. The combination of his fiery touch and addictive lips was making you restless. 
“Joe, please,” you whimpered as you pulled away from his lips. 
He gave you a smile before moving down, pressing wet kisses along your inner thigh before sucking on the skin of your left thigh.
“Mm,” you whimper, stuffing your hand into his soft curls. 
He wastes no time as he pulls down your shorts and panties all in one go, immediately stuffing his face between your thighs. “Ohh,” you hissed, the feeling of his scruff between your legs was to die for. 
You feel him lap at your folds, his tongue then thrusting inside of you as he set a rhythmic pace. He moved his hand to your clit, carefully teasing the sensitive bud with delicate flicks and swirls.
“Fuck, Joe,” you whispered, trying to stifle your moans by throwing your head to the side into the pillow. His other hand slipped inside your shirt, slowly inching towards your breast as you pulled on the strands of his hair. 
His tongue felt like fire, lighting every nerve in your body. The expert flick and swirl of his tongue sent waves of pleasure throughout your withering frame. 
“Joe, you’re so good, fuck right there,” you whimpered as you used your hand to grip the sheets, then feeling him slide his hand out of your shirt, returning his finger to your heat. He starts to rub your clit again, the bundle of nerves just begging to reach its pleasure.
You toss your leg over his shoulder, gliding your foot along his muscular back as you feel Joe moan into your core, sending vibrations throughout your body. You moved your hands back into his tousled curls, pulling on the soft golden strands again as he continued to use his mouth to send you to heaven. “Mm, you taste so good,” he groaned.  
“Joe, I’m so close,” you rasped, feeling your arousal building up. He started to toy with your clit even harder and moved his mouth up to it, replacing his fingers with his mouth as he started to suck on the bud.
You started to shake under him, your breaths getting shorter as you felt the tension in your belly snap and a wave of ecstasy come over you. “Fuck, Baby,” you moaned as you felt yourself reach your high, your hips jerking and your eyes rolling to the back of your head at the intense shocks of pleasure. Joe’s mouth moved back down to your folds and his hands massaged your thighs, trying to calm you down as he lapped at your folds again, cleaning up every drop of your arousal. 
A few minutes later, he cleaned you up with some napkins and was now lying on your chest, your hand playing with the strands of his hair as he pressed kisses on your chest through your shirt. 
“You still hungry,” you lazily chuckled.
“Nope. Dessert was extra delicious today and I'm stuffed,” he yawned. 
“That’s good because I’m about to pass out,” you said as you pressed a kiss to his forehead.
He craned his head up to look up at you, “Nap time?” he mumbled before pressing a kiss to your chin.
“Nap time,” you nodded as you wrapped your arms around his body and closed your eyes. 
After your lengthy nap, you two spent the rest of the flight watching movies, playing various games, eating delicious foods, taking another nap, and going over the schedule for the week. You’d be in Cannes for 4 days (not including today's travel day); tomorrow and Monday would be for you two to explore the city and have a boat day. Tuesday and Wednesday would be panels and the latter half of Wednesday would be when you both would travel to Paris. Then the rest of the trip would be spent in Paris for Fashion Week. You and Joe were incredibly excited to explore the sights and sounds of the city together when he had time off from attending the shows and events. He was walking the runway at the end of the week, which you couldn’t be more proud of him for doing, and he would be attending quite a few shows for various brands throughout the week. You were debating on going with him or not to at least one show, deciding to feel it out depending on how this whole ‘going official’ thing works out. 
A few hours later
You landed about an hour ago and were now on the way to the hotel, both of you wide awake from your naps even though it was currently the middle of the night in Cannes. You looked out your window and watched the lamposts pass by, the streets empty and almost haunting because of how peaceful it seemed. 
“We should almost be there,” he said as he looked out the window. “I think that’s it,” he added as he pointed out the tall massive building in front of you. 
“Holy shit, they really went all out,” you said, your eyes widening as you got closer to the hotel. The impressive architectural structures of the building stood out beautifully as well as the the fact that it was beachfront.
“Beachfront too?” you gasped. “They must really love you,”.
“Told you they hooked me up,” he said as he rubbed your back. 
A couple of minutes later the car stopped in front of the main door, the bellhops loaded your luggage out of the car while you and Joe made your way inside. 
He held your hand as he led you through the lobby, the inside of the hotel just as grand as the outside. Beautiful chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting a soft glow that highlighted the carefully crafted pillars and impressive ceiling designs. The earthy tan, white, and green hues of the lobby provided a sense of comfort and luxury. 
Joe looked down at your face, your mouth agape and your eyes sparkling. “Wait till you see the room,” he said as he bumped your shoulder. 
“The fact that I’ve never been here is wild,” you say as you feel Joe pull you into the elevator, not allowing you another moment to take in the design of the lobby. 
He pulls you in, quickly presses the button for the floor you are on, and then hits the button to close the door. Before you could say something else, he spun around and backed you up against the elevator wall, his face just inches from yours. 
“I love how excited you get over these things,” he said before he crashed his lips against yours, one hand gripping your waist and the other cupping your face. He found it endearing how you would easily get excited over things like this even though this was your life. The luxury and leisure was something you had been around for quite a few years now, but each time you were exposed to it you would still be mesmerized.  
You try to pull away but Joe doesn’t let you, deepening the kiss as he slides his hand down to your thigh, giving it a soft squeeze that makes you moan into the kiss. A few breathless seconds later, you manage to pull away, a look on his face that tells you he needs more.
“You’re a little worked up,” you blushed as you pressed your forehead against his, your arms around his neck. 
“The thought of us, just us, on what I would consider vacation the whole week is making me feel some things,” he purred. 
“I guess it being the middle of the night isn’t stopping those feelings,” you said as you rubbed his neck.
“Oh, I think that it being the middle of the night is making them way worse,” he said as he was leaning in for another kiss but stopped as he heard the elevator ding, hearing the door behind him open, prompting him to let out a disappointed sigh. 
You gently pushed him off and gave him a wink, “Guess you'll have to wait, this is our stop,”. 
He gave you a slow once-over before reaching forward and picking you up bridal style, his hands wrapping around your waist and legs; the sudden movement making you let out a squeal.
“Joe, put me down, someone will see,” you laughed as he walked out of the elevator with you in his arms.
“Did you forget?” he said as he made it to your suite door. He pulled out the keycard and unlocked the door, “We’re the only ones on the floor,” he whispered into your ear as he brought you inside. 
You stared at him for a few seconds before moving your eyes around the room, the very big and very glamorous room. You were standing in the doorway, in front of you was the living room with a nice dining table that was set up with a bunch of goodies such as wine, champagne, snacks, and chocolates for you and Joe. He walked further into the room, to your right was the passageway to your bedroom, and to the left was the mini kitchen and another seating area. 
“Wow,” you whispered as you looked around the room. “They really love you,”. 
“You haven’t even seen the best part,” he said as he slowly placed you back on your feet. He put his hand on the small of your back and guided you across the room to what looked like patio doors. He opened the door and motioned for you to go out, your eyes widening as you walked out onto the very large and lengthy private patio that had the best view of the beach and city below you. 
“Oh my god,” you said as you walked closer to the railing of the balcony. You looked up and saw the stars in the sky twinkling while the city below you was absolutely still; distant sounds of the waves crashing on the beach in front of you echoed throughout the streets below you. The patio was decorated with various flower arrangements, a day bed, and a little bistro table. 
“This is perfect,” you whispered as you felt a shiver run up your spine. The shorts and short-sleeved top you had on were not meant for this evening weather and you were feeling it. You felt Joe move closer to you, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind and settling his chin on your shoulder, then turning his head to the side to press wet kisses along your neck; his warmth immediately heats you up. 
“Are you happy?” he mumbled against your skin.
You smiled and turned your head to look at him, his head moving out of your neck as his eyes met yours. “I think if I was any happier I would spontaneously combust,” you giggle before you kiss him again. “I’m glad we get to do this together. This is a big week for you and I am lucky to be a part of it,”.
“I wouldn’t want anyone else with me,” he said as he turned you around and leaned down to kiss you again, this time the kiss was a bit more heated than before as his hands slid down to your ass, pushing you closer to him. 
“Mmm, maybe we should go inside,” you say in between the kisses.
“Don’t have to tell me twice,” he mumbled as he pulled away and grabbed your hand, yanking you back inside and pulling you to the bedroom. 
“Slow down,” you giggled as he rushed you into the bedroom, not even giving you a moment to take in the vibes of the room as he was eyeing the massive bed waiting in front of you. “Wait, what about our luggage? Shouldn’t we wait for them to bring it up?”.
“They can come by when we wake up tomorrow,” he said as he backed you up until the back of your knees hit the bed. 
“What about our Pj’s?” you frowned. 
“We probably won’t need them,” he said as he started pressing kisses along your jawline, another shiver running down your spine. 
“As much as I'd love to continue this, aren’t you tired?” you asked him as you patted his shoulders.
“Not at all. It might be 2 am here but I am wide awake. Maybe this will make me tired again,” he said as he returned to kissing your neck. “Sex is natural melatonin,”. 
“I won’t argue with science,” you said as you pulled his head back to yours, kissing his lips a little rougher as he gently pushed you down onto the bed and crawled on top of you.
A few minutes later, both your clothes were in a pile next to the bed and Joe was spending some time pressing kisses around your body and nipping your skin. He pulled his head up from your chest and looked deeply into your eyes, leaning down to press a loving kiss on your lips before thrusting into your wet heat, the sudden movement catching you off guard and making you pull away from his lips. 
“Fuck, Joe,” you moaned as he set a ravenous pace. With every thrust he moved deeper inside of you, igniting a fire within you that only burned for him. 
The Next Morning 
The sound of the bathroom door opening woke you up the next morning, your head turning to see Joe walking out with wet hair and no shirt on. You watch as he walks over to the closet, pulls out his suitcase, and opens it to find a shirt, meaning that they must have dropped your luggage off. You slowly sit up, covering your naked body with the sheets as you stretch your arms out. 
“Morning,” he smiled as he turned around while buttoned up his shirt. 
“Gooood Morning,” you yawned as you made grabby hands towards him, motioning for him to come over to you. 
He walked over and sat down next to you, first pressing a sweet kiss to your lips and then pulling you into his chest.
“How long have you been up?” you asked as you ran your fingers along the fabric of his tan knit button-up beach shirt. 
“About two hours or so. I got our bags from the bellhop, ordered us some breakfast, scoped out the beach club downstairs, and took a shower,” he said as he ran his fingers through your messy hair. 
“That’s great,” you said as you tilted your head up to examine his neck, noticing a few purple marks. “Remind me to cover those up,” you laughed as you ran your fingertips along the love bites.
“You can try but I think the makeup would wash off once we get on the boat and decide to go in the water,” he chuckled.
“Oh my god, I forgot today was the boat day,” you gasped, your hand moving to cover your mouth, realizing that he would have the marks on his neck completely visible to the public eye. “I got a little carried away last night,” you said as you moved off his chest and sat up, the sheet falling and your bare chest on display.
Joe’s eyes navigate down to your chest, his eyes widening and a blush snuck up on his face. “I think I did too,” he said as he reached out to rub the love bite on your chest. 
“We’re so horny,” you laughed as you dropped your head into your hands.
“But that’s good for us, keeps us on our toes,” he said, repeating one of the thoughts you had yesterday about him as he pressed a kiss to your cheek and got up from the bed. 
“I’m probably going to shower first and then eat breakfast if that’s cool,” you said as you got up from the bed and grabbed the robe Joe had laid out for you. 
“Yeah, that’s cool. It should still be warm since they have those fancy warmer things under them,”.
“That’s good,” you wince as you start walking over to your suitcase. 
Joe raises his eyebrow at your slight limp, “Sore?”.
“Just a tad,” you blushed as you reached down to open your suitcase. 
He walked over and picked up your suitcase before you could fully zip it open, “I’m gonna put it on the bed so you don’t pull a muscle or anything,”.
“Thank you,” you say as you lean in for another kiss.
“It’s the least I could do for giving you a limp,” he said as he placed the suitcase onto the bed and turned around to face you. 
“You already do enough for me by just existing,” you say as you open up your suitcase and pull out a matching black bikini set with a pink sundress to wear on top of it. 
He wrapped his arms around you from behind and swayed you back and forth, his heart fluttering at the thought of how lucky he was to have you in his life. “I love you,” he said as he kissed the sweet spot on your neck. 
“I love you too,” you said as you turned your head around to see him, pecking his lips before reaching down to grab a change of clothes for after your boat day. You would be having dinner on the boat as well so you decided to pick out something more fitting. You pull out a strappy white dress and pair it with some gold accessories and heels. 
“I love this dress on you,” Joe said as he ran his fingers along the soft fabric. “I found the beach bag and put my change of clothes in it, left it on the foyer table,”.
“Perfect,” you smiled as you pulled away from his embrace, closing up the suitcase and making your way to the bathroom. 
“How’s the water pressure?” you asked as you stood in the doorway.
“Better than our house,” he nodded. “I also checked out the jacuzzi tub. It has quite a few settings and we will be having some fun in there tonight,” he winked. 
“Looking forward to it,” you said as you twirled around and closed the door to begin your morning routine. 
About an hour and a half later, you’re washed, dressed, moisturized, and finishing up breakfast at the table with Joe. 
“This food is so good,” he groaned as he took a final bite of his muffin. 
“We’re going to gain at least 10 pounds by the time the trip is over,” you joked as you took another sip of your orange juice. 
“We can brush it off as healthy relationship weight if someone says something,” he joked. 
“Healthy,” you smile as you lean your head back to relish that feeling. Your relationship with Joe was so incredibly healthy. Both of you knew each other’s boundaries and respected them, had the best communication possible, and were completely and irrevocably in love with each other. 
“Healthy unlike this breakfast,” he laughed as he loaded your dirty dishes onto the cart to leave outside your door for the staff to take away.
“So, what’s the plan for today,” you said as you turned around in your chair and watched Joe.
“Well, I was thinking we take it easy. We can go down to the beach club downstairs and walk around for a bit since our boat is at the docks there so we can check it out and drop off the bag but we won’t be going on till a little later. If you want we can also go shopping around Rue d'Antibes and La Croisette,” he said as he opened the door to leave the cart outside.
“Nice pronunciation,” you giggled. 
“I’ve been practicing. I asked the receptionist downstairs how to pronounce the street names,” he smiled as he turned around to close the door. “Then we’ll just be on the boat and in the water until our sunset dinner on the boat,” he said, walking back over to you with your beach bag and sunglasses in hand. You packed your bag with various types of sunscreens, both your change of clothes, your film camera, and any other personal care items you’d need on the boat.
“Sounds perfect,” you smile. “After dinner, we should walk to the bakery around the corner from the hotel and pick up some sweet treats,”. 
“Whatever you want,” he said, holding out his hand for you to grab. “You ready?”.
“Mhm,” you smiled, placing your hand in his and getting up from your chair. “Wait, let me take care of these first,” you said, pointing at the love bites on his neck, a laugh escaping his lips as you dragged him to the bathroom.
A little later 
You and Joe walked around the beach club for a little while, taking in the gorgeous sun and crystal blue water and checking out the boat before sitting at one of the beachside tables for a few drinks. You weren’t usually drinking this early in the day, but a few Mimosa’s didn’t hurt, especially if you were going to spend a few hours shopping. 
Now you were in maybe the 4th or 5th store on your little shopping expedition, Joe picking out some pieces for the upcoming season and you helping him while also doing your own bit of looking. 
“I wish Kyle was with us since he is your stylist for this trip. He might’ve been able to give some opinions on these game-day outfits,” you said as you looked through the rack in front of you in the Saks store, all your favorite designer clothes in one spot. 
“Are you saying I’m incapable of picking out my game-day fits on my own?” he scoffed, his mouth wide open as he was slightly offended. 
You stopped rummaging through the racks and spun around, “I’ve told you multiple times that your game-day outfits send me into orbit,” you say as you give him a look that needs no explanation. “You don’t need anyone’s help, but I feel like a new person’s opinion might add some pizzazz,”. 
“You are the new person. You didn’t shop with me last off-season too much so I mean,” he said as he put his hands in his pockets. “The floor is yours,”. 
You raise your eyebrow and flash him a big smile, “Oookay, but you asked for this not me,”. 
You picked out various new pieces for Joe to try on while he insisted that he pick out some things for you as well. Joe liked more street-style outfits so you decided to follow that idea but add your own flair to it. You chose some more trendy but “Joe-like” shirts for him, new types of pants (so he would finally stop with the grey jeans), and some other things such as jackets and accessories he’d like. 
When Joe came back to you, he had absolutely nothing in his hand, making you let out a laugh as you looked over to the pile you and the assistant had set aside for him.
“Couldn’t find anything?” you teased as you pulled him closer.
“Actually, I found too much that they couldn’t carry it over,” he winked. 
“We haven’t even made it to Paris yet and we already shopped so much,” you said as you dropped your head onto his shoulder. 
“We get a free pass this one time,” he said, rubbing your back before giving your butt a soft pinch which makes you pull away.
“Joe, if someone sees,” you laughed, giving him another look that needed no explanation. 
“We’re fine. The staff knew us and didn’t say anything to us the other people in the store seemed to be minding their business, although I did notice a few stares and whispers but it is what it is,” he shrugged. “It’s just you and me. Pretend that nobody’s here,”. 
“I guess this is what we wanted to happen anyway. Only a matter of time before a picture of us pops up online,” you smiled, feeling comfortable with the thought of people seeing you out together.  
“Good thing we look good today,” he said, pressing a kiss to your cheek. “Now, come see the stuff I picked out for you,” he said as he grabbed your hand and led you to the other side of the store. 
An hour later, you were walking out with a concerning amount of bags and were on your way back to the hotel to drop them off; the rest of the stuff from the other stores was delivered to your room so you didn’t need to worry about those. 
“Wait, can we go in there for just a sec,” he said, stopping and pointing at the Cartier store. 
“Don’t you have enough sunglasses,” you say, rolling your eyes and walking towards the store. 
“Not going in here for those. I actually have something to pick up,” he said, acting mildly suspicious as he opened the door for you.
When you walk in, a worker immediately greets you both and leads you back to the Jewelry Counter, Joe walks in front of you and whispers something to the assistant before turning around and grabbing your hand. 
“Joe…” you say as he pulls out a chair for you.
“Yes, ma copine parfaite et chaude?” he smirked, squeezing in some more French he learned the other day. 
“Hm?” you asked, incredibly confused as you sat down in the velvet red chair. When did he have the time to learn all this French?
“Yes, my perfect and hot girlfriend,” he whispered in your ear before sitting down next to you. 
A blush crept up your face and you felt yourself get hot from his words, trying to keep your composure and figure out what you were doing here. “Um, why are we here?” you struggled to get out. 
“I told you,” he said as he looked forward at the Jeweler walking in with 2 trademark red Cartier boxes. “I had something to pick up,”. 
“Welcome Mr. Burrow and Ms. Y/LN,” the man smiled as he sat down in front of you. “I hope you have been enjoying Cannes so far,”.
“We’ve been having a lot of fun,” Joe smiled at the man. “Thanks for doing this Roger,”.
Roger, his name was Roger. Why did Joe know Roger? And what was in those boxes in front of you?
“Ah, no problem Mr. Burrow. Anything for the best Cartier-wearing Quarterback in the NFL,” he smiled as he turned the boxes around to face you both. 
Joe laughed at his response and threaded his fingers through his hair before looking over at you, studying your stupefied facial expression. 
“Are you going to tell me what you’re up to?” you asked.
“I think he should show you,” Joe said, Roger grabbing your attention as he unhooked the clasp of the boxes, opened them, and showed whatever was inside to you.
Your mouth dropped as you looked at what was in front of you. It was two bracelets, 1 of them having a black braided band and the other being a gold band, like a bangle you could clasp on. The bracelet had a gold letter “J” and “(your initial)” attached to it, one on the left of the bracelet and one on the right. In the middle, holding both letters together, was a gold infinity symbol decorated with diamonds. 
“Joe..” you whispered as you felt your heart flutter at the jewelry in front of you.
“Custom made to Mr. Burrow’s liking using our finest gold and jewels,” Roger added.
Joe was looking at you the entire time, taking note of how your eyes softened when he opened the boxes and how your cheeks turned pink when you realized what you were looking at. 
“When did you…How did you..,” you said as you turned your head to face him.
“Mhm, I think I’ll leave you two alone for a moment,” Roger said as he got up. 
“Thanks, Roger,” Joe nodded as he turned back to you. 
“When my agent told me about this whole Cannes and Paris thing. I wanted to do something special for us and I wanted to make it memorable so we’d remember this week. I thought about just surprising you with another necklace or something but that didn’t feel special enough,” he said.
“Joe,” you said, choking up a little as you felt tears forming in your eyes.
“Sooo, I found a Cartier store closest to where we would be staying and talked to Roger here, pulled a few strings, and designed the bracelets with him, and well,” he added as he picked up your bracelet, opening the clasp and grabbing your hand to put it on your wrist. He closed the clasp and turned your wrist around, running his fingers over the initials and infinity symbol before pressing a kiss to it. “This is it. You and Me. You know how I feel about you and I know that it hasn’t even been a year yet but I couldn’t imagine doing anything of this without you. I’ve never felt this way about a girl before and I’ve only felt it for you, and I intend for you to be the only girl that can make me feel like this,”. 
How was it possible that you were falling even more in love with him? You thought that you’d already reached maximum head over heels-ness, but here you were feeling your heart grow and the amount of love you had for him increase. 
“I love you. I love you so very much, Joe,” you sniffled before leaning in and kissing him, keeping it innocent since you were around quite a few people. 
“This is the sweetest thing anyone’s ever done for me. You literally keep beating yourself every time you do something like this,” you laughed as you wiped the few tears falling from your eyes.
“And I plan to keep doing so for the rest of my life,” he said as he grabbed his bracelet. “I chose the braided black band for me because it felt more like me. The gold band is definitely you,”. 
“I don’t plan on ever taking it off, just like the necklace,” you smiled, referring to the initial necklace he gave you for your one month anniversary. You never took it off, not because he ‘owned’ you and needed people to know, but because he really knew you and you wanted people to know. “Wait if you got the braided band..Please tell me you don’t plan on wearing that in a game,” you gasped. 
“No, definitely not. I would never risk it getting damaged out there. I will however be wearing it as much as I can when I'm not on the field or doing anything physical that could damage it,” he said as slipped it onto his empty wrist. “Wait, I almost forgot. Take your bracelet off real quick,”. 
“Okay?” you chuckled as you unclasped it and handed it to him.
“I got something engraved on the inside. Here, look,” he said as he opened it up a bit more for you to read the text on the inside of the band. 
⋆。°✩ The Stars All Aligned ⋆。°✩  - J.B.
Didn’t he say that to you this morning? How long had he been waiting to say that to you?
“You’re perfect. Quite literally crafted by Cupid and the Angels. I don’t know what the hell I did to deserve you but I'm so glad you’re mine,” you said as you looked back up into his love-struck eyes. 
“I love you,” he said as he kissed your cheek. 
After a few more moments of fawning over the bracelets and his adorable romantic gesture, you both found Roger and personally thanked him for helping orchestrate the surprise, especially since Cartier rarely did anything custom like this for clients. After a few moments of chatting and wandering around the store, You and Joe walked out of the store with two more bags in your hands, one with the boxes for the bracelets and the other filled with stuff Joe bought. 
“You and them damn Cartier shades,” you said as you shook your head. 
“Listen, I couldn't resist. They looked really good. The pink ones I got for you are going to look so good on game day,” he shrugged. 
“Whatever you say,” you laughed as you spun around and started walking backward, still facing him. “I can’t wait to get on the boat and be wearing minimal clothing. It’s hot as hell right now,”. 
“Forget Minimal, you don’t have to be wearing any clothing on the boat if you don’t want to,” he winked.
“Joe!” you gasped as you stopped, causing him to bump into you. 
“What? I’m sure everyone would enjoy the view. I know I do,” he teased, your mouth hanging open as he was standing so incredibly close to you, his face just inches from yours.
You were about to say something but saw a group of girls and guys stop a little bit behind you, their hands seemingly over their mouths. “Oh my god. Is that them?” one of the girls gasped. 
You looked at Joe, a smile on both your faces as you listened to the group, acting like you weren’t eavesdropping by turning around to face the buildings in front of you. Joe nonchalantly snaked his arm around your waist and whispered into your ear, “I think we’ve been caught,”. 
“Dude I think it is. Holy Shit I didn’t think the rumors were true,” the other girl said. 
“Damn, Joey B is really winning at life,” one of the guys laughed. “Y/N is hot as hell,”.
Your eyes widened when you heard the teenage boy, probably somewhere around the age of 17 say that. “Oh my god,” you whispered as your cheeks turned pink. 
“You know what? I’m not even mad that he said that. You are hot as fuck,” Joe whispered into your ear, prompting you to bump into his shoulder. 
“Wait because this is insane. I would’ve never thought they’d end up together but I’m so here for it,” the other girl whispered, or tried to whisper at least. 
“I mean she was at the games in January. What’d you guys expect? I heard she liked football before she went to the Bengals game but that wasn’t her favorite team,” the other guy added. 
“Well, it definitely is now,” the first girl cooed. 
“I guess the cats outta the bag. Oh well,” you whispered into Joe’s ear, no other thoughts in your mind. You didn’t care if people saw you together. You were happy and that’s all that mattered.
“You wanna keep going?” he asked, softly squeezing your hip.
“Yes, please. I’m melting right now,” you laughed as you placed your hand around his waist. 
After reaching the hotel and dropping off your bags inside your room, you walked back down to the beach club and had a quick bite to eat before making your way to the docks where the boat was waiting.  
Joe got on first, extending his hand to help you on. “Thank you,” you said as you reached up to kiss his cheek. While Joe was talking to the captain, you slipped into the bathroom to take your dress off, the lovebite from last night fading but still visible making you blush. While you were in there you clipped your hair back and put some sunscreen on your frontside and legs, not being able to reach your back so you’d ask Joe to do it. 
After freshening up, you went back out to the boat, noticing that you had departed the docks and were now out on the crystal blue Riviera waters. 
“You look incredible,” Joe said from behind you. You flipped around, your heart skipping a beat as you saw him in just his swim trunks and sunglasses, his chiseled chest on display and his muscular arms making you feel hot all over. 
“Not too bad yourself,” you purred as you sat down on the tanning chair. “What’d the captain say?” you said as you pulled out the sunscreens from your beach bag.
“He said we’d be circling around the Riviera but stopping at a good spot if we wanted to get in the water. Then I told him for dinner to stop at the docks a little further down from our docks because there’s a good beachfront restaurant that said they can serve us on here,”.
“You really planned everything out,” you smiled at him.
“That I did,” he said as he sat down next to you.
You pulled out the lotion and put it in front of him, “Can you get my back, and then I can do you?”.
Joe raised his eyebrow at the offer, his mind wandering to some other things that this innocent task could lead to.
“No funny business, Joe,” you said as you sent him a look. “I mean it this time,”.
“I got you,” he laughed as he sat down on the chair next to you while you lay flat on your stomach. He squeezed out a good amount of sunscreen before placing the bottle down. You felt his big hands start at your shoulders, rubbing the lotion into your skin before sliding down your back. His fingers expertly massaged your skin the way you loved, a few innocent moans leaving your lips making Joe laugh.
You turned your head to the side and looked up at him again with the same look, his face going back to seriousness which made you let out a little laugh. He then slid his hands down to your butt, softly squeezing it as he worked the last bit of sunscreen around your skin. 
“You’re good,” he smiled as he moved his hands off of you. 
“Thank you, Joey,” you said as you sat up. “Now lay on your stomach so I can get your back,”.
“I think I’ll be fine. I want a nice tan,” he said.
“Absolutely not. You burn too easily and there’s a big difference between tan and burnt,” you said as you got up from your chair and grabbed the bottle. “On your stomach,” you motioned. 
“Fine,” he sighed, admitting defeat as he turned around.
You placed a leg on each side of his waist, straddling him as you squeezed out a dab of sunscreen before tossing the bottle to the side. You started at his shoulders, working your way down as you gave him a nice massage at the same time, a few groans leaving his lips as he closed his eyes. You smiled at the sounds leaving his lips, Joe loved a good massage. 
“This would be nice with no clothes,” he joked.
You rolled your eyes as you moved your hands to his arms, first grabbing the bottle to squeeze out more sunscreen, “Why are you extra worked up this week?”.
“You tell me,” he said, turning his head around and giving you a good look up and down. 
He never failed to make you feel extra good about yourself. His looks, his touch, his comments. All of it made you feel like a diamond. 
“You’re sweet,” you replied as you sent him an air kiss as you quickly rubbed the last bit of sunscreen on his arms. “Flip over,”. 
You sat up on your knees so that he could turn around underneath you, then once he got settled sat back down, still straddling him. “This is all too familiar,” he said as he pushed his sunglasses down. You on top of him like this was a little too risky but you had to make sure he didn’t burn in the sun.  
You shook your head as you squeezed more sunscreen onto your palm and spread it along his perfectly crafted chest and torso, pressing a few kisses to his chest while you were at it. His hands settled on your hips, kneading your plush skin as you made sure to get every corner of him protected by the sunscreen. 
“If you put any more on I think I'm going to turn the same color as this chair,” he joked.
“Okay,” you said as you dropped the bottle in the bag. “I’ll stop but at least now you won’t get burnt,”.
“Thank you,” he said as he moved his sunglasses to the top of his head. God, he looked so good right now. His hair was in the perfect position, his skin was glowing, his eyes were twinkling, and he was all yours. 
“You’re welcome,” you mumbled as you leaned down to kiss him, his grip on your waist tightening as your hands cupped his face. 
You were all over each other for what felt like an hour, not caring about anything since you were out on the open waters, just the two of you. You don’t even remember when he picked you up and laid you down on the daybed because you were so lost in his lips you had zero coherent thoughts in your mind. 
Suddenly, he pulled away, a cheeky grin on his face. “What’s got you so worked up?” he said as he raised his eyebrows. “You’ve been on my lips for almost an hour,”. 
“Really funny, Joe,” you laughed as you turned to lay on your back, the sun now covering your body. 
“Wait, I didn’t mean to stop,” he said, sadness creeping up on his face.
“Mmm, I think we need a second to breathe so that we don’t die from heat exhaustion and lack of oxygen,” you joked as you threw your leg over his.
“Fair point,” he said as he wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you into his chest, your bodies fitting together naturally making you both instantly comfortable. 
A few quiet moments later, Joe spoke up. “I still can’t believe this is real life,”.
You moved your head up to look at him, his eyes looking off into the sky. “I’m playing football in the NFL, people know who I am, I’m in fucking France right now, and I’m dating the most extraordinary and talented woman to grace the earth and I get to spend all of my time with her. Literally, what is my life,” he mumbled. 
“Joe…,” you cooed. As crazy as his life was, he could never be able to comprehend that this was his life.
You turned to lay on your stomach again, resting your chin on his chest which made him look down at you. “You know what the one thing that really stuck out to me and made me fall in love with you was?”.
“What?” He smiled.
“The fact that you’re such a softie. You’re such a sappy softie in there,” you said as you pointed to his heart. “But on the outside, you’re this calm, cool, collected, smoke show Quarterback. You can do both and that’s what made me fall for you. And you let me see that sappy part of you, which makes it even more special,”. 
As you were talking, you saw how his cheeks turned a little red, something that would often happen when you started talking like this. 
“I know I’ve said it at least 15 times today, but I love you,” he said while picking up your hand and kissing the bracelet on your wrist. 
“I love you too. Like a lot, if that wasn’t clear,” you giggled. 
“Oh, it’s clear. Very clear,” he nodded as he started to get up. “Since you love me so much, you wanna go make some drinks with me and lay out in the sun so I can get a little tan?” he asked like a little kid. 
“Sounds like a plan,” you smiled as you got up with him, the smile on your face the biggest it’s probably been in a long time. Joe made you happy, truly happy and everything that came out of his mouth just made it better. 
Two hours later 
You spent some time lounging on the chairs, tanning, and sipping on some cocktails you whipped up in the mini bar inside while talking more about what the rest of the week would look like. You also spent some time taking in the distant view of the City, seeing all the beautiful architecture and scenery from a distance, making a note that you should come back here at some point but spend a whole week here rather than a few days 
Then, the boat stopped in the middle of the Riviera; they also brought out a few floaties and water mats for you both to use out on the water. Joe dragged you in with him, insisting that you take a dip in the cool water for just a bit, but you insisted on using his body as a floatation device the entire time.
After swimming around for a bit, or well, letting Joe swim around while you were stuck to his back, you were sitting on the floating water mat. Joe was sitting criss-cross and you laid across his legs on your back, soaking up the sun as he was absentmindedly rubbing your thigh. 
He looked down at you, seeing how peaceful you looked with your eyes closed when an idea popped into his head. He carefully slid his hands underneath you, almost as if he was picking you up bridal style. You didn’t say anything because you thought he was just re-adjusting you in his lap, but then you felt him lift you into the air. 
“Joe..What’re you…Ahhh!” you screamed as he gently dropped you back into the water.
You swam back up to the surface, wiping your hand across your face as you watched him laugh and your disheveled appearance. 
“That’s not funny,” you frowned, trying hard not to give him the satisfaction of laughing at the situation. 
“Aw, does someone not like the water,” he laughed as he watched you try not to laugh, which you were struggling to do. 
“I don’t like not being told when I’m being thrown into the water,” you huffed. 
“You’re so cute when you're mad,” he grinned.
“And you’re cute when you're not throwing your lovely girlfriend into the water without warning,” you said as you batted your lashes at him, purely out of teasing.
“Fine,” he sighed as he extended his hand out to help you back onto the mat. 
You put your hand in his, getting an idea while gripping it tightly. You use all of your strength to pull him down into the water with you, “Y/N, what are you-,” he said before his big body made a splash into the water next to you as you broke out in a fit of laughter. 
You laughed for a few seconds, expecting him to come back up a few seconds later but when you don’t see him come back up, you get worried.
“Joe? Where’d you go?” you said before you felt two hands wrap around your legs underneath you and lift you into the air, sending you backward into the water. Joe came up, another grin on his face as he watched you come back up from the water again.
“Two for Two,” he winked. 
“No fair,” you laughed as you splashed him with water. “You’re like 50 times stronger than me,” you said as you swam closer to him. 
“Join me next time I’m in the gym and we can buff you up more,” he smiled as he pulled you closer.
“Us, in the gym, with nobody around, sweaty, and all worked up? I don’t think I’ll be getting buff, I think I’ll be burning calories doing something else,” you purred.
“And I’m the one that’s worked up,” he said as he raised his eyebrows, you shook your head as your hands found their way into his hair and you pulled him in for another sweet kiss.
“You wanna go back inside and make some more drinks?” you asked him.
“Sure, but we’re going to be so drunk by dinner time,” he said as he swam you both over to the steps. “Those tropical rum margaritas are strong as hell,”. 
“I think we’ll be fine,” you smiled.
Evening Time (Around the Sunset)
You, in fact, were not fine.
You both had one too many drinks after you got back onto the boat that you could barely stand up in the shower when you went to freshen up for dinner. You got lucky and managed to do your hair and makeup without any mishaps occurring, but you were still very tipsy and the drinks being served with your dinner tonight were not helping.
They had set up a nice spread of food on the little dining table on the boat, Joe sat across from you as you spent a few spare moments taking pictures of him on your treasured film camera. “The sunset looks good behind you,” you giggled as you tried to take a picture of him, but the alcohol in your system made it hard for you to focus.
“Oo, get a picture of the food too,” he said pointing at the delicious spread in front of you.
“Part-time food blogger. I like it,” you nodded as you pointed the camera at the food, snapping a few shots before putting the camera down. 
Joe grabbed his phone, opened the camera, and snapped a few pictures of you. "You look so beautiful," he smiled as he continued to snap some pics.
"Love you," you said to him, a rosy blush on your face that wasn't from sitting in the sun today.
You grabbed your glass of wine, taking a nice gulp before placing it back down, Joe doing the same before you started to dig into the food in front of you. You don’t remember how many glasses of wine you went through with your food, all you knew was that by the end of the dinner, you could barely remember why you were in France in the first place. 
Joe got up from his chair, almost stumbling back down into the chair as he shook his head. “Whew, I am so drunk,” he laughed as he helped you out of your chair and brought you back over to the day bed. 
“Join the Club,” you giggled as you plopped down. 
“Do you think the Aliens like France?” he asked you as he dropped down next to you, grabbing your legs and placing them in his lap.
“Hmmm,” you thought as you twirled your hair. “I think they’d like it if they came here,”.
“You don’t think they’re already here?” he drunkenly asked you.
“Nope. I think they like to stay over where we are because we don’t bother them. I think French people would freak if they saw an alien and probably throw macaroons at them,” you mumbled as you played with the wristbands on Joe’s wrist. 
“I mean, we did try to storm Area 51. I think they were probably pretty mad about that,” Joe nodded.
“Trueee,” you gasped. “I hope they aren’t lonely in there. They should be free and get to live life like we do,” you frowned. 
God, you were so drunk. 
“What if they are? You remember the farmer aliens in that one Spongebob episode we watched last week?”. 
“Yeah,” you giggled.
“What if we have farmer aliens out in the midwest and just have no idea since we never go out there?” he said, being 100% serious about what he was saying.
“Oh my god, you’re probably right,” you gasped. “I wonder if they play instruments like the ones in SpongeBob,”. 
“We should go farmer alien-hunting when we get back,” he smiled as he pulled out his phone. 
“Oh, 100%,” you nodded as you watched him tap some things on his phone.
“I need your opinion on something,” he said as he looked back up at you.
“Shoot,” you said as you leaned back. 
“Should I get these?” he said, turning his phone around to show you the very expensive Lego Eiffel Tower and Milky Way set he had added to his cart.
“Joe,” you laughed as you grabbed his phone. “This Eiffel Tower one is 10,000 pieces and 700 dollars and the Milky Way set is 3,000 pieces and 200 dollars,”.
“So,” he shrugged. “I’m rich remember,”.
Normally you’d shut this down real fast because you knew he didn’t have the time to put these together so it would be a waste of money, but you were so drunk that all your logic and sense went out the window.
“Okay!” you chirped as you handed him back the phone. “Order them now so we can build them when we get back,”. 
“Great idea,” he nodded as he quickly purchased the Lego sets. 
It was a terrible idea. You should pray for your future self when she comes home to 900 dollars worth of Legos at the front door that neither of you had enough time to build.
While he was tapping away on his phone, you looked out onto the peaceful open water, lost in a trance before you saw the boat lights turn on, brightening your once-dark surroundings.
“The lights,” you gasped as you looked up and the fairy string lights and lamps, the soft music playing in the background adding to the scene. You got up from the day bed and started twirling around, dancing to the song in the background as Joe sat there and watched you, his eyes watching your every step, his heart growing bigger every time you looked back at him. 
He was out of his mind drunk right now, but he was sober enough to mean what he was just about to say.
“Let’s get married,” Joe said, making you flip around with your eyes wide open. 
“What?” you giggled, the alcohol in your system in full effect so whatever he was saying wasn’t really registering in your brain.
“I said, let’s get married,” he mumbled as he got up. 
“Joe, we’re drunk as hell,” you laughed as he grabbed your waist.
"I'm totally, absolutely, not at all drunk at all. Like... at all,” he said, stumbling over his words.
“Mhmmm,” you nodded. “And I’m a princess,”. 
“I’m serious, Y/N. I know we’ve only known each other for a year, but marry me. It doesn’t have to be today, it doesn’t have to be tomorrow, but marry me,” he said. “You’re the best thing that could’ve happened to me and I never want it to end. I need you,”. 
Although he was drunk right now, part of you knew he was being serious when he said that. Everything he did for you and said to you made what he was saying right now absolutely genuine.
“It’s you and me for infinity,” he said, looking down at your bracelet. “I love you in this life and in every lifetime after,” he smiled.
“I love you too, Joe. In every universe and every…uhh..dimension? Yeah, dimension,” you nodded, making him laugh at your drunken expression. 
“So what do you think? Would you want to marry me one day?” he asked you, his face absolutely adorable and sincere. “Unless this is too much for you. I don’t want to push you into an idea that you’re not ready for even if it is a bit into the future,”.
“If you asked me the same question 2 years ago, I would’ve thrown a drink in your face and bolted like hell. But you’re asking me now,” you said as you looped your arms around his neck. “Me now is happiest she’s ever been in all aspects of her life, in love love, comfortable, and is pleased with where she is,”.
“So to answer your question, Okay,” you smiled. 
“Really?” He said, his heart fluttering. 
“Mhm. As long as we get to have a bigggg cake and we get to invite allll our friends and family,” you say as you break free from his grasp and spin around to the music. “And for reference, I like princess cut,”.
“I’ll make you the best damn ring money can make,” he whispered to himself. 
“Oh my god,” you gasped as you stopped dancing.
“What?” He asked.
“Can we get a dog? We should get a dog,” you said as you moved back closer to him.
“Only if I get to name it ‘Gary’,” he said, a throaty laugh leaving his lips as his pupils dilated from the alcohol in his system. He was sooo drunk right now and neither of you would probably remember this conversation tomorrow morning. 
“Deal,” you chirped. Another gasp left your lips and your eyes lit up.
“Now what?” Joe chuckled as he pulled you closer.
“Can we have kids?” you pouted. “Pretty Pretty Pretty Pleaaaseee,”.
“Uhh, duh. Obviously, we’re going to have kids,” he agreed. 
“Yayyyy,” you squealed as you jumped up and down. 
“We’re going to have a mini quarterback and a mini musician running around at some point,” he smiled.
“I wonder if they’ll get both sets of talents. Mini QB can be an expert guitarist and vocalist while Mini Musician can kill it in sports just like her daddy,” you beamed. 
“We have one hell of a genetic pool,” he joked. 
“That we do. Like I said, you’re Troy from High School Musical,” you said as you bit your lip, knowing how he felt about that since he discovered his piano talent.
“Not again,” he said, dropping his head.
“Okay, I’ll stop..for now,” you said as you stumbled back, almost bumping into a chair and falling over, but Joe grabbed your hand and pulled you back forward.
“How did we get so drunk?” he sighed.
“I blame the aliens,” you huffed.
“Oh, so the aliens were the ones who kept making the margs?” he questioned.
“Duhh. It obviously wasn’t me,” you denied as you looked out to the water again, this time seeing your hotel and dock get closer. 
“How did we already make it back?” you said as you walked over to the ledge.
“I didn’t even notice when we left,” Joe said, joining you.
“It’s probably a good thing. We’re so far gone right now we need to be on land,” you said as you looked up at him. 
“Oh, I can’t wait to get back on land,” he said as he looked back down at you with his intense eyes, his hand slipping around your waist. “Have I told you how stunning you look right now?” he whispered into your ear.
“Have I told you how sexy you look in this baby blue button-up?”. He was wearing a blue button-up shirt with white shorts, the buttons on his shirt all the way open exposing his broad chest. 
“We’re a hot couple,” he laughed.
“Very hot,” you say as you lean in to kiss his cheek. 
After the Boat reached the dock, you and Joe thanked the captain for taking you around today. You grabbed your stuff and started to walk to the exit of the boat, but again you were so drunk that you were stumbling around and the heels you had on were making it worse. Joe slid his hand around your waist, firmly holding you as he helped you down the boat and onto the dock.
“Thanks for that. I’m one wrong step away from face-planting,” you said as you held onto him.
“Honestly, me too but at least we’d fall together,” he smiled as you both stumbled back to the hotel. 
“Oh wait, did you still want to go to that dessert shop you were talking about this morning?” he asked as he stopped.
“Hmmmm,” you thought as you looked at Joe, feeling a flutter inside your belly when you looked at him up and down. He looked so good right now, a literal piece of art. 
“We can wait until tomorrow. All I care about right now is getting back inside our room,” you winked.
“Oh really?” he said, squeezing your waist before dropping his hand to your ass.
You were about to say something else before you felt your phone buzz, pulling it out to see a text from your manager.
“Who is it?” Joe asked as you two reached the door to the Hotel. 
“Oh, it's my manager. She said..
There are photos of you and Joe online from earlier, reaction looks pretty positive and a lot of people are confused but pleasantly surprised! Glad to see you two having fun :) Enjoy the trip! 
“Well I guess everyone knows now,” he said as he opened the door for you.
“Hm, I guess they do,” you said as you tucked your phone away, then pulled Joe toward you by his arm, crashing your lips against his and backing up against the wall. 
“Y/N, what if someone sees?” he asked as he pulled away. 
“Let them see then,” you smiled against his lips, watching his eyes scan yours for a few seconds before feeling his lips against yours, this time harder than before.
You felt him move down, pressing kisses down your neck to your chest as you threaded your fingers through his hair. “Joe,” you whimpered.
“What?” he looked up at you with heart eyes.
“Room. Now,” you urged as you felt him grab your hand and pull you over to the elevator, luckily nobody was inside so you could get up to your room as fast as possible. You pushed the button for your floor, Joe’s mouth going back to your neck as you tilted your head back to give him more room. 
His other hand grabbed your ass, softly squeezing your plush skin through the tight fabric of your dress as he left another purple spot on your neck.
“Joe,” you moaned loudly as he touched your sweet spot, your cheeks turning red at the sound that left your mouth.
You then heard the elevator stop, the doors opening as Joe moved off of you. “Thanks for the preview,” he smiled as he pulled you out of the elevator, once again picking you up bridal style just like last night.
“I could get used to this,” you smiled as he walked over to your door, quickly unlocking it and rushing you to the bedroom without giving it a second thought.
He gently placed you down on the bed, your eyes looking over at the bathroom. “What about the Jacuzzi Tub?”. 
“We can save that for tomorrow night. I need you, now,” he said, desperately flinging his shirt off. 
“Okay,” you smiled as you sat back up, Joe walking out of the room without saying a word.
“Hm, weird,” you said as you started to slip the straps of your dress down and untie your heels.
A few moments later, he walked back in, a little silver bucket in his hand. 
“What’s that,” you said, his eyes looking back up and seeing you in your matching white lace bra and panties, one of his favorites on you.
“Ice,” he said as he placed the bucket on the side table next to the bed, heat rising up your body at the mention of that. 
“Cool,” you smiled as you grabbed his bicep, not bothering to ask him about the ice, pulling him onto the bed and on top of you as you fell back against the pillows, your lips on each other again. 
Joe reached behind you, unclasping your bra and gently slipping the straps off your shoulder before returning back to kissing your chest. He wrapped his lips around your nipple, swirling his tongue around the sensitive bud causing soft moans to leave your lips. While he was doing so, he reached his arm out to the table, sticking his hand in the ice bucket to grab a cube. 
He pulled away and brought the ice cube into your view, your cheeks turning another shade of pink because you knew what he was going to do. He pressed the cube to your collarbone, the icy cold touch making your breath hitch.
“Joe,” you whined, feeling the ice cube travel down to the valley of your breasts, his lips returning to your skin, pressing feather-light kisses as you squirmed under his touch. 
The cool wet trail the ice cube was leaving behind was making you even more needy, wanting nothing more than to feel Joe in every way possible, but he was taking his time. 
He grabbed another ice cube, this time pressing it against your nipples, “Fuck,” you cried out.
“You good?” he asked, making sure you were okay.
“I’m…great,” you whimpered, the ice sending jolts of pleasure throughout your body, 
He then moved the ice cube down your stomach, your hips jerking at the feeling of the sudden coolness, your core feeling slicker as he continued to work his way down your body. The ice makes your skin tingle, and the feeling of coldness intensifies your already heightened thoughts which creates a numbing sensation.
“Mmph,” you moaned as you bit your lip, feeling the ice move down to your core, a cheeky grin on Joe’s face.
You then feel him press the ice cube against your folds through your lace panties, another moan, this time a little louder than before, leaving your lips.
“Joe,” you moaned, immediately covering your mouth with your hand because of how loud that was. The alcohol in your system mixed with the feeling of ice on your bare body was making you feel like you were floating on a cloud of ecstasy. 
“No need to be quiet,” he said, popping the remains of the cube into his mouth. “Remember, it’s just us,” he smiled as he grabbed another ice cube, popping this one into his mouth as well. 
He leaned down, gazing into your eyes for a few seconds before pressing his cool lips against yours; the taste of alcohol was still evident, mixing with the coolness of the ice.
You put your hands in his hair again as you pulled him in closer, the ice cube slipping in between his lips and entering your mouth. 
“Mm,” Joe hummed as he smiled into the kiss, the shared coolness between you feeling like a breath of fresh air. The feeling of the ice between your lips which were pressed against his was unlike anything you’d felt before, and you loved it. 
You pulled away from the kiss, both your cheeks flushed and eyes sparkling, “Joe, I need you,” you rasped. 
You didn’t need to say anything else for Joe to get off of you, kick his shorts and boxers off while also sliding your panties off. He settled on top of you, giving you another kiss as he slid his fingers through your drenched folds.
“Damn,” he laughed.
“Joeee, please,” you pleaded as you pulled on the strands of his hair.
He moved his head down to press kisses along your jaw as he guided his cock through your folds, pushing into your core without warning. 
“Fuck,” you moaned as you threw your head to the side. Joe set a hungry pace, thrusting into your core with no interest in slowing down, sending you further into the bed each time. 
“Oh,” you moaned loudly as he pounded into your slick core, no coherent thoughts in your head at the moment as he was focused on sending your body to its pleasure point.
You moved your hands to his back, scratching his soft skin which would surely leave a few red marks. “Y/N, you feel so good,” he hissed as he cupped his hand behind your knee, lifting your leg and opening you up more. 
“Baby,” you screamed as he continued to fuck you senselessly, his cock hitting every single sweet spot with each thrust. 
You looked down, watching where you two were connected, the sight of his cock slipping into your wet heat making your eyes roll back to the back of your head, “F-Fuck,” you whined. 
He moved his head back down to yours, his sweet lips finding their home against yours as you moaned into him.
After a few more rough thrusts, you felt your pleasure building up inside your body. Joe always did most of the work when it came to sex, not because you didn’t want to, but because he always wanted to make you feel good but now you wanted to let him sit back while you did the same for him. You pulled away from his lips, “Joe, let me ride you,” you whimpered.
“Are you sure?” he panted as he slowed his thrusts. 
“Mhm,” you nodded as you took a deep breath, your core gently clenching around his cock. 
He pressed a final kiss to your lips before sliding out of you and falling back against the sheets next to you. 
You quickly got up and straddled his waist, giving his cock a few pumps before guiding it back inside of you, “Shit,” you moaned as you threw your head back. 
Your hands settled on his chest as his hands settled on your hips, guiding you back and forth as you slid down his length. 
“Y/N…god,” he moaned as he looked up at you, watching you take control and letting him relax. His hands moving up to cup your breast, giving it a soft squeeze as you let out another moan.
“Joe, I’m so close,” you panted as you picked up the pace, digging your nails into his skin at the same time. Soft moans and praise came from his lips, making you smile and feel more confident each time.
“I’ve got you,” he said as he gripped you tighter and started to thrust up into you.
You felt the tension in your stomach increase, your breaths coming out in short gasps, and your cheeks heating up. “Oh, Joe,” you moaned as you fell forward, your lips crashing against his as you continued to move against him, the sounds of your wetness filling the room.
A few seconds later, you felt your orgasm rip through your body, almost feeling like you were about to black out by how your walls were convulsing around his cock, which was still moving inside of you. 
“Mm, I’m close,” Joe moaned. 
You used your hand to move his messy hair out of his face before kissing him again, picking up the pace again even though your knees were about to give out. Your walls were still clenching his shaft and you were still trying to come down from your intense high, but you had to make him feel good. You sucked on his bottom lip as you ran your fingers around his neck, a few seconds later feeling him coat your walls with his cum.
“Oh my god,” he moaned, his hands running down your sides as you peppered kisses along his jaw.
“You are a dream,” Joe said as he squeezed your waist, grabbing your hand and pressing kisses all around your palm.  
“Fuck, Joe,” you panted as you carefully slid off of him, then fell forward onto his chest as he wrapped his arms around your body, pressing a few kisses on your cheek while you both tried to regain your senses.
“I love you,” you whispered into his ear. 
“Je t'aime,” Joe said to you, saying ‘I love you’ but in French.
You pressed another kiss to his face before feeling your eyes flutter shut, your heart exploding from love and happiness.
An hour-ish later 
You both took a power nap for a little bit to recover from your activities before hopping in the shower to rinse off. Right now, both of you were in your robes in the kitchen, trying to beat the morning hangover by drinking a glass of lemon water.
“I’m never drinking this much again,” you said as you leaned against the counter. “I don’t feel the hangover yet but I already know it’s going to be bad,”.
“I’m just glad the panel isn’t tomorrow. I’d actually be screwed,” he said as he placed his glass down on the table.
“That would for sure be the biggest headline. ‘Joe Burrow has a massive hangover during a Rare public appearance at a panel in Cannes’,” you mock. 
“Bigger headline than our relationship? I peeked at my phone and it’s blowing up with texts from people that don’t know about us and notifications from news articles talking about you and me. People apparently think we just started dating or that we’re just hooking up and it’s not serious,” he laughed. “We should probably make our Instagram post soon,”. 
You nodded, “Ohhh, are they in for a treat when I drop this album,” as you turned around to put your empty glass in the sink behind you, Joe doing the same. 
You turned back around and were standing in front of him, face to face. Although you were still drunk, you felt a bit more in your senses than you did on the boat and Joe’s mention of wanting to marry you was still lingering in your mind even though you said yes. Was he being serious? 
He studied your facial expression, instantly knowing that you were thinking about something that was bothering you.
“What’s wrong?” he asked as he placed his hands on the counter on each side of you.
“Nothing,” you smiled as you met his eyes.
Joe tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, “Joe, seriously. I’m fine,” you deflected. 
He continued to look at you with a quizzical look, eventually your front breaking. 
“Fine,” you give in, making him smile. “Were you being serious earlier?”. 
“Being serious about what?” he asked. 
“About wanting to marry me?” you asked him, your voice a little quieter as you felt a little nervous asking him. If he brushed it off, that meant he was drunk and wasn’t being serious. You felt like he was being serious, but that doubt was still in your mind.
He looked deeply into your eyes for a few quiet moments, your stomach churning as you were waiting for him to speak up. 
“Of course, I was being serious,” he said. “I told you, it’s you and me. That’s all it is and all that there needs to be. You’re what I’ve been waiting for my entire life and I don’t ever want to let go, I don’t need anything else,”. 
You felt your eyes well with tears at his words. He wanted to marry you. One day, he would be your husband. You’d dreamed of meeting your prince charming one day and living your fairytale, and each time you thought you did, you’d end up living a nightmare instead, up until you met Joe. 
He was your real life Prince Charming and you were living your Fairytale. 
“You’re everything to me,” you said as you cupped his face. “I love you more than you can imagine, Joe. Thank you for changing my life,” you said to him, seeing his eyes become a little glossy because of your words. 
"No, Thank you for changing my life," Joe smiled.
He leaned forward, pressing a sweet kiss to your lips which quickly became heated as you stuffed your hands into his hair. Your lips moved against each other in a beautiful rhythm as you felt him cup your ass and lift you up onto the counter, his hands messing with the ties on your Robe as he moved down to your neck.
“Joe,” you moaned as you threw your head back. 
You felt him untie your robe, your nude body now exposed to the cool air of the suite. “Round 2?” he asked as he ran his big hands down your hips and to your thighs. 
“I’d be mad if we didn’t,” you smiled as you grabbed his robe tie and yanked it so that it came undone, his nude body now on display for you. 
You felt him thrust into you, hard and fast, as he peppered kisses on your bare shoulder. “Jesus, Baby,” he moaned into your ear, making you lean further back which gave Joe access to your breasts. His lips attacked them with gentle kisses and nips as he sank deeper into you, sounds of skin-hitting skin filled the room along with the noises coming from your mouths. 
“Fuck, Joe,” you whimpered as a smile rose onto your face. There was no place you’d rather be right now. You were truly the happiest you’d ever been, and Joe was the reason for it, and now you had the comfort of knowing he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
—The End—

Your Only One (Logan Drabble)
Tumblr media
Summary: Logan always had you waiting around for him.
Warnings: slightly abusive logan, angst
WC: 780ish
read on ao3!
--
The cabin felt smaller tonight. The walls seemed to close in on you, the flicker of the fire casting shadows that danced ominously. You sat on the edge of the couch, heart pounding in your chest, waiting for the sound of his heavy boots at the door.
He’s late again.
The door swung open, and there he was—Logan. His eyes were dark, hooded with the weight of the day. His scent of whiskey and leather filled the room before he even spoke. But it wasn’t just his presence that felt suffocating tonight; it was the tension, the storm brewing behind those amber eyes.
“You been waitin’ long?” he asked, voice low but carrying a sharp edge. It wasn’t a question; it was a test.
“Just a bit,” you replied, trying to keep your voice steady. But he could always tell when you were lying. He had a knack for that.
He threw his jacket onto a chair, eyes never leaving you. “You don’t look happy to see me, darlin’. What’s wrong? Miss me too much?” His smirk twisted your stomach. He had a way of making everything feel like a joke—your feelings, your pain.
“I just—” You hesitated, not wanting to set him off but too exhausted to pretend. “I just thought you’d be home earlier. We had plans.”
Logan’s smile disappeared, replaced by a dangerous glint in his eyes. He stepped closer, his boots thudding against the wooden floor. “Plans?” he repeated, voice mockingly sweet. “What, you think my life’s that easy? You think I can just drop everything because you wanted to see me?”
“No, Logan, I didn’t mean it like that—” You tried to explain, but it was too late. He had already crossed the room, towering over you.
“Don’t,” he growled, grabbing your arm roughly, pulling you up to meet his gaze. “Don’t try to turn this on me. I’m out there every damn day risking my life while you’re here, nice and safe. You got no idea what it’s like.”
You winced as his grip tightened. His strength, usually a source of comfort, now felt like a cage. He’d never let you forget how much he did for you. How much he sacrificed. And how you, in his eyes, never appreciated it.
“I do appreciate it,” you whispered, trying to de-escalate, trying to calm the beast before he truly lost control. “I just miss you.”
Logan’s laugh was bitter, and it cut deep. “Miss me? You don’t know what you want. You don’t know who you are without me.”
“I—” Your voice caught in your throat. The words you wanted to say—that this wasn’t what you deserved, that you couldn’t keep living like this—died on your lips. He had you trapped, not physically, but emotionally. And you hated yourself for it.
His grip loosened, but his hold on you remained in other ways. He cupped your chin, forcing you to look at him. “You think anyone else could love you the way I do? Take care of you the way I do?” His voice was softer now, almost gentle. Manipulative. “I’m the only one who truly loves you. You know that, right?”
You swallowed, tears burning behind your eyes. You didn’t answer. What could you say? You had once believed him—believed in him. But now, all you felt was the weight of his control, his possessiveness.
“I’m doing this for us,” he continued, his voice coaxing, as if this was all for your benefit. “Everything I do, it’s because I love you. You just need to trust me. Stop questioning me.”
You nodded weakly, more out of habit than belief. You had learned over time that resistance only brought more pain. And even though you knew the truth—that this wasn’t love, that this was control—you stayed. Because he had convinced you that there was no one else who would want you. No one else who would care.
Logan’s fingers brushed your cheek, his touch a mockery of tenderness. “That’s my girl,” he whispered, pressing a rough kiss to your forehead. “You’re mine, remember that.”
You did remember. You always remembered. The reminders were carved into your soul, every bruise and scar invisible to the world but etched in your heart.
As the fire crackled behind you, casting long shadows across the room, you realized that Logan wasn’t just a man who loved you. He was the one who kept you isolated, alone in this cabin, in this life, in this lie. And no matter how much you tried to convince yourself that things could change, that he would change, deep down you knew the truth.
You were trapped. And he was never going to let you go.
