“Oh, darling,” Stolas said softly, recognizing immediately how his words had been taken

“I could never feel that way, I promise,” he swore, gently taking Brady’s hands and giving them a squeeze

“For one thing, it is far too early in our relationship for things to ever get stale, I’m still excited on a daily basis just because I get to be with another man, and then adding that it’s you on top of that... believe me, I’ll be excited for all my years to come,” he promised, kissing Brady’s fingers

“That said, please, take it from someone who was married for over a decade, going stale is not the worst thing that can happen in a relationship- not that I think we will ever go stale, believe me on that- but... even if we did someday.... I know this sounds a bit funny coming from me, but sex is hardly the most important thing in a relationship, and there’s nothing wrong with having quieter moments of intimacy rather than hot and spicy all the time,”

This was one of those moments when Stolas feared he really didn’t know what to say, he felt like that often, but usually atleast tried to project some confidence to make himself sound more believable, this time though... he felt the quieter approach was best, and that only compounded onto why he felt so uncertain

“Ooh... now I do love surprises,” Stolas purred, wrapping his legs between his partner’s, taking as much of Brady’s space as possible

“My collar! Sounds expensive, let me see?” he asked excitedly, eyes practically sparkling, after all, he was a rich boy at heart and he still had a taste for luxury, and Brady’s hesitation and uncharectoristic awkwardness only made him even more curious about it

“Ofcourse,” he added a second later

“I do hope you know that no matter what, no matter how I may feel about certain things, you can always share them with me, and I’ll always do my very best to make you happy, if I’m uncertain about something then I’d atleast like to try it before ruling it out all together, you know?”

“You know, I have to admit, this fake claiming thing kind of loses it’s bite since I’m already living here,” Stolas teased, rolling over to start teasing his fingers through Brady’s hair- just because he could and he needed something to do with his hands

“Do you have anything in mind to… I don’t know… spice it up a little, love? Ooh maybe you could take me around campus on a leash! That sounds fun, don’t you think?”

@bradyatluxe​

“Does it?” Brady asked, eyebrows furrowing as he shifted to look at his partner. “I wouldn’t want that. I wouldn’t ever want you to feel that anything about us, or what we have going, has gone stale.” Although he knew what Stolas meant, Brady couldn’t help the pang of fear shooting through him at the words. Swallowing, he did his best to calm himself, unwilling to allow Stolas to know that he’d felt anything other than fine. As soon as the other man’s fingers were in his hair Brady sighed, pulling his submissive closer to him, entwining their bodies. 

“I’ve been thinking about a few things. I don’t…Know how you might feel about them. That is one of them though.” Brady replied, a grin overtaking his features. “I think that would be wonderful. In fact I…What would you say if I said I had a surprise for you?” The Dominant asked. “I’ve been ordering…Well, it’s just…” Awkward wasn’t something Brady was generally described as. But, in the moment, he felt himself nearly clam up. Shaking his head, he pushed through those strange and foreign feelings. “I needed to purchase you a collar anyway, for the trial, and I may have…Allowed my browsing to wander even further…” Despite his own eagerness to share with Stolas what he’d purchased, he couldn’t help but to tease his partner just a bit.

Room Raiders

Stolas finally has the chance to live how he wants, and he definitely hasn’t spared any time or expense in the decorating department

He finally gets to have fairy lights and a canopy

He has something of a permanent pillow fort as a reading nook

His alter is currently on his book shelf

And he even had galaxies painted on his ceiling so he can fall asleep under the stars every night

You had me at “commission”

I actually have two very different requests, but I need to know- do you by any chance do doll clothes? I’m giving my daughter a ball-joint doll for Christmas and thought perhaps you could design something for it, something unique that she can’t just find on Etsy, but I know not all who craft with fabrics work in such small scale so I thought it better to ask first

I guess we’re all still trying to fly under the radar around here, huh? I get it, I’m pretty freaked too. Anything you say on these phones could end up… anywhere. And who knows who is watching, where. What has been seen. Anyway, enough of the Paranoia Express. I’m uh.. gong to try to bring some normalcy back and start socializing again. Not that I did much before. But I had a plan to let Halloween’s costume open the door for sewing commission, so… consider this me opening the door. Anyone that wants something made can come let me know. Otherwise, I’ll just make more clothes for Lu.

“Oh, very interested my love, it sounds like fun! I may not be the most competitive person, but I do enjoy puzzles and games,” Stolas agreed, looping his fingers with his partner’s

“Would you like to participate?”

“Stolas? Have you heard about the Escape Room event?” Brady asked, turning to face his submissive. “Were you interested, my Pet?” @the-0wl-prince​

100% guilty of doing all these

What do you want out of a claim?

Honestly, just.... someone who loves me and who treats me well.... I don't think it's all that much to ask really

Let it be known that Stolas Prince is capable of being almost dreadfully romantic

One wouldn’t think it by his rather flamboyant sexual appetite, but he was something of a softie at heart, and had been planning something special for the past few days

At two in the morning, the Earth began to experience a massive lunar eclipse- the kind that only came around once every hundred years, and Stolas- as a lover of all things moon and stars- couldn’t pass up the opportunity to make the occasion memorable, so he had left Brady an invitation earlier that evening to meet him in the courtyard, and as soon as he saw his lover, he gave the signal to a rather helpfull freind a few yards away, and the music began

“I love you,”

Stolas wasn’t much of a singer, but he would try

"More than a cauldron loves the fire, more than a broomstick loves to fly, more than the moon loves the stars in the sky,”

He stepped onto a stone bench, twirling exaggeratedly to the music

“You make my spirit sing, and you make me glad I went through hell, our love is a story sweet to tell, and you cast an enchanting witch’s spell over my heart, love is a journey we decided to start, and I hope that we’ll never ever be apart, I love you, I love you, I love you,”

He wondered, as he hopped down and strode closer to his soulmate, if he would have been even more sappy if he’d met Brady when they were teenagers

...Perhaps it was better for the world that they hadn’t

“I love us,” he crooned, taking Brady’s hands

“I love us just the way we are, don’t have to pretend to like to do things we don’t, I’ve always got you around to laugh at my stupid jokes,”

He wrapped an arm around Brady’s waist, swaying in place with his lover

“I’ll never take you for granted, I’ll always give you my best, and if you can promise the same, fate will handle the rest, because I love you, I love you,”

Stolas made a mental note to pay the helpfull musician later as the music faded out, the moon above them totally eclipsed as Stolas pressed his head against Brady’s, taking a breath

“I want to be with you forever, my darling,” he said quietly

“I... know it isn’t quite the same as a proposal, but.... I want to promise myself to you, forevermore,”

@bradyatluxe​

[the-0wl-prince]

“You know, I once read something about a pair of soulmates who had both come from other relationships that hadn’t been good for them, there was a saying I can’t fully remember, something along the lines of ‘We can be for eachother what our lovers weren’t for us’, I think that applies here quite well,”

Stella hadn’t been loving, Brady’s ex hadn’t been sincere, and Stolas hoped that perhaps he and Brady could give those missing peices to eachother

“Ofcourse,” Stolas agreed, letting his head rest against his lover’s shoulder, practically basking in the affection like a cat in a sunbeam

“I’ll always be honest with you my love, always,”

Stolas didn’t really believe in lying, he had a penchant for manipulation and word games from time to time- a hazard of his family- but outright lying wasn’t his cup of tea in the first place, and with Brady, he wanted to be as honest as possible

“Mmm... you mean about the inevitable blood bath of you meeting my family, the fact that I haven’t been quiet about my affair, or the question of if I’ll ever leave you for my daughter’s sake?”

In other words- yes

“My, what lengths these busy-bodies have gone through to sow the seeds of doubt... but allow me to ease your mind,” he hummed, giving Brady a light kiss

“Firstly, I’m admittedly torn.... on the one hand, I do so desperately want to see you rip into my blood relatives, but I also don’t want to see you get hurt- physically or otherwise, and... my family can be as carnivorous as venomous reptiles, I know that you can defend yourself, but they will be ruthless, I... I don’t want anything to happen to you... so if such a confrontation happens, I won’t get in your way, but... I don’t know just yet how to protect you from them,”

It was a little embarrassing actually, Stolas loved the idea of Brady marching into his family home like a knight in shining armor, prepared to slay whatever foul beasts rampaged before him, but he couldn’t fully support it- as much as he wanted to- out of fear of what exactly his family might do to his soulmate, and honestly... they were the “take no prisoners” type, Stolas was afraid to think of what they might do if Brady challenged them...

“Second, I haven’t been quiet about my affair, no, but that’s only in the spirit of honesty, one of the very few good lessons my vulturistic family has taught me is that the only way to emerge somewhat well from rumors that are true is to be ahead of those rumors- if you cheat, admit it, if you steal, own it, if you murder, well it was all in self-defense darling and you can’t hang a man for that, if you lie... deny it til your dying breath and if that doesn’t work pretend to be stupid or crazy, whatever suits the mood, my point is.. I knew that sooner or later my past would come out- the recent secrets leak proved that much- so I might as well be upfront about my scandal and why the scandal happened so that when people try to use it against me it falls quite flat, that said, I know you know why that affair happened, I... don’t excuse it, but the circumstances were... obviously so, so much more different than things could ever be between us, in a fundamental way, and I would never cheat on you, my love, I was... holding things together with Stella with toothpicks and safety pins from the start, things between us are quite clearly not like that, and even if we hit rough patches.. well I lasted the better part of thirteen years being essentially alone, trust me, I don’t think we could hit a patch rough enough for me to ever go that far, you have my word, Brady, I will never do that to you,”

He paused, taking a breath, this third and final topic was going to be a bit harder to address....

“Brady.... my love, you are my soulmate, no one can change that- no matter how hard my family might try-, and there’s quite obviously much more to our relationship than just a one-night-stand or a fair-weather-affair, we will not be torn apart so easily, and I will never abandon you or betray you, no matter what, you are my world, Brady,”

He paused again, pursing his lips

“But.. but my daughter will always be my universe, I know it sounds cliche but it really is true that there is no describing the connection you have to your child, the love there is unlike anything else, even a soulmate connection, I’ve... wanted to meet and fall in love with my soulmate since I was a young child myself, I’ve fantasized about it so much and yet I never could have imagined anyone even close to you, to how much I love you, to how intertwined our souls are... but the moment Octavia was born my galaxy revolved around her, I would sell my soul to be in her life,”

He exhaled, the dreaded feeling that he was only making things worse sinking into his stomach, but he had promised honesty, he wasn’t going to go back on that just because he was having a hard time with what he wanted to say

“I want both of you,” he said quietly

“Choosing would be my worst nightmare, I think it might be enough to kill me in all honesty, and I hope it never comes to that, but... if it does..”

Biting his lip, Stolas gently but tightly grasped Brady’s hand, forcing himself to make eye contact, so that Brady would understand how serious he was

“I would run away with you both, I’ve..... thought about it, you know, just... taking Octavia in the middle of the night and running off somewhere.... I never did because it wouldn’t be fair to her, asking her to grow up without her mother, Stella is a good mother, it... wouldn’t be fair to either of them, it would turn me into a monster, but... but if I was ever backed into that corner I-... I wouldn’t.. ask you to give up your life-.... to... become a criminal with me and... I would be crazy and cruel to ever ask you to drop your entire life and run away to an island somewhere with a child who isn’t your’s and who probably won’t be very happy with the situation and to... put yourself in the way of my family’s wrath.... but I suppose I don’t have the balls to just make a choice either, so if it ever came down to it.... I would never leave you Brady, I would leave here, this place, but not you, I’d run away with you if I had to, but.. I don’t expect that to be something you would ever be content with, so... if it ever came up, I would never.. hold it against you for choosing, you know, the rest of your life over me, how could I?”

He looked away, feeling guilty for not being able to give a more firm and definitive answer to the unspoken question, his fingers looping around his lover’s

“All of this sounds so convoluted... I’m sorry... I just.. I want you to know that I’m not going to abandon you, that I’m not going to just pick up and run off because things get hard, but I can’t abandon Octavia either, so, if that choice is ever set before us then I hand it to you, if you don’t want to put up with all that drama I wouldn’t blame you a bit, but if... if you’re really crazy enough to stick around then... I would run away with you, love, spirit you away in the middle of the night, and create a family with you and my daughter somewhere far away, if you would have us,”

He smiled warmly at Brady, giving him a soft, almost chaste kiss, feeling strangely.... innocent in that moment, almost something akin to pure

“I would love that,” he breathed excitedly, eyes absolutely sparkling

“A special name, just from you, all my own.... I can’t imagine being happier,” he confessed, hugging Brady tightly, he had always wanted something like that, something so unique, he’d wished many times that Stella would have given him a petname all his own, but ofcourse that had never happened

“Can I give you a special title in return then? Or would you prefer to stick to something more generic like ‘sir’ or ‘master’?”

He chuckled a little at Brady’s confession, his fingers absent-mindedly starting to twist and twirl around the fabric of his lover’s shirt

“I feel the same actually, I’ve never been a people person- shocking, I know- so wanting to stay in our little bubble is my default state, but I also find myself, lately, wanting to show off, wanting to show off who I belong to, that I’m your’s, I want the entire world to know that I’m taken and be jealous of me for having the best soulmate the universe has ever crafted,” he grinned, pausing a moment

“And yes experiences are good too, I.... actually have been considering... I know it’s still more than a month away so don’t feel pressured to answer right now but... well... do you have Christmas plans? I just wondered if... if maybe you’d.. like to come home to London with me? I’ll be going home to see Octavia, and um... it might be a great opportunity for you to meet her, and... to spend the holiday together? If you want, ofcourse,”

the-0wl-prince​:

“Adorable? Well I can’t say anyone has ever called me that before, but I appreciate it very much,” Stolas confessed, eyes practically sparkling

The affection, the adoration, the love… they were such new feelings, and he was enjoying them thoroughly, leaning into Brady’s touch, eyes closing peacefully, he couldn’t remember the last time he had felt content

“Perhaps you’re different,” Stolas suggested with a hum

“I’ve noticed it these past few nights, since we confessed our love for one another, there’s a change in you, as though you’ve opened up, like a Moonflower, keeping the softest parts of you hidden in daylight but… blooming beneath the rays of the moon, I quite like it, getting to know this side of you,”

Stolas knew very well that he was experiencing something sacred, that not just anyone was blessed with seeing this softness from his partner, and he treasured it every bit as much as he should

“I haven’t, I don’t keep up much with campus talk, an escape room sounds like a DELIGHT though, I’ve always been fond of things like that, and haunted houses, little adrenaline rushes, you know? Do you know anything about this trip you’ve mentioned?”

Brady gave Stolas a confused look. “You haven’t? That’s a shame. You haven’t been treated the way you desrve, Stolas.” The comment was a simple one, but it was Brady’s honest assessment. “I want to ask you something, my love. And  want you to answer honestly, but I know I don’t have to specify that with you.” Leaning forward Brady pressed a kiss to Stolas temple. 

Everything about what they were doing was new and fresh and foreign to Brady. Sure he’d been in one serious relationship before, but after everything that had happened, he couldn’t help but to look back at the experience and feel it was all fake, falsified, and nothing to remember fondly. Even in the good times. 

“Do you think so?” Brady asked, a sad smile crossing his lips. “Stolas…Have you seen what the Gossip has been saying?” He asked. It was a situation that had been plaguing his mind since he’d foolishly allowed himself to read the nonsense. He’d avoided it previously, knowing what reading it might do to his mind. But still he couldnt help but to read it, especially with how much he’d heard his own relationship had been mentioned. 

Stolas words made Brady genuinely smile, and he leaned into his submissive a little. “It’s interesting you’ve noticed that, I’ve felt the same way. I’m glad we said it. I’m glad we were honest with each other. I do love you, Stolas. I love you more than I can describe.” A pause, as Brady collected himself and his thoughts. “I want to come up with a name for you, Pet. Something special between us. Just for us. How would you feel about that?”

If he were honest, Brady had been thinking about a lot more than a name for Stolas. Their marks were growing, nearly complete now, matching on their backs and displaying a fact Brady had somehow innately known since the moment they’d met. He’d been thinking of putting in for a claim for them, of making things official. And it wasn’t that he was hesitant. But, more that there were things he wanted to talk through first. 

Brady nodded. “I don’t normally. Though it’s funny. With you, I find myself wanting to experience things. I’m caught between wanting to keep you all to myself, locked here in our bubble, and wanting to show you off. It’ll be good for us to participate. To experience things…” He paused, gazing at his partner. “I’m looking forward to the Escape Room, yes. It should prove to be quite the experience. I don’t know much about the Winter Retreat as it stands, but I can tell you it is one of the bigger trips they take us on each year. It’s different every year so I don’t have many details. But I can tell you it will be thrilling. And it’ll be our first trip together.”

"Safety first!" -From Cameron Adams

"That's cute, but I do seven more dangerous things than this before breakfast," Stolas chuckled, climbing onto the counter with relative ease and grabbing the jar off of the top shelf

Stolas was six feet tall, it wasn't often he couldn't reach something, but Octavia had always been a very climby child, he'd learned in her toddler years that he'd have to be a gymnast if he wanted to keep her out of harm's way

He still had flashbacks to those horrid jungle gyms she used to get stuck on as a little one...

"Here you are love," he said, sliding off of the counter and handing Cameron the jar

"Anything else I can help you with?"

Stolas answered the call like an excited puppy, moving closer in an instant and resting his head on Brady’s shoulder

“I couldn’t agree more my love,” he agreed, his smile absolutely beaming over the simple act of a kiss

“And here I thought I was the affectionate one~”

Having Stolas in his arms felt more natural to Brady than anything ever had. Things since meeting the man had been a whirlwind but one he wouldn’t have traded for anything in the world. 

“Have I ever told you how adorable you are? I dont ever use that word, but it fits you so perfectly.” Brady gazed fondly down at his submissive, running his fingers lazily through Stolas’ hair. 

“Generally you are. Tonight is different though. Something about it is different.” He paused. “Have you seen there is an Escape Room coming? And I’ve heard whispers about some kind of trip.”

[the-0wl-prince]

Stolas answered the call like an excited puppy, moving closer in an instant and resting his head on Brady’s shoulder

“I couldn’t agree more my love,” he agreed, his smile absolutely beaming over the simple act of a kiss

“And here I thought I was the affectionate one~”

“Stolas?” Brady called, reaching for his partner to pull him into his lap. Pressing a quick kiss to his forehead he couldn’t stop himself from gazing so fondly, so lovingly at the other. “I missed you. Across the room was far too far.

[the-0wl-prince]

“Well ofcourse darling, is there really a gay man alive who doesn’t worship her?”

Stolas was pretty new to gay culture but he felt pretty sure about that one

“And yes, I could get away with it on my own... but I’d rather get away with it with you, I’d rather do everything with you, my love,”

He understood where Brady was coming from, ofcourse as a Dominant he felt that it was his job to make everything ok, but... realistically, that wasn’t how relationships worked, most of the time anyway, Stolas knew that from experience

His marriage hadn’t been all bad after all, as much as he and Stella had... contention... with eachother now, they hadn’t started that way

“Yes it is, but it’s my job too, I am your submissive, ofcourse, but I am also your partner, that means that things between us should always be equal- equal efforts, equal burdens, equal problem solving, and when one of us is carrying too much- it doesn’t matter wich of us- the other needs to step in to carry some of that weight, if you don’t share things with eachother then it breeds hurt and resentment, it doesn’t have anything to do with marks, it just has to do with the way relationships naturally work, you will always make things ok for me- I have full faith in that, but I want to do the same for you, let me take care of you too Brady, in a way that only a partner can,”

There were things that only submissives could do for their Dominants... but there were also things only partners could do for one another, Stolas was both, but sometimes he needed to lean more into one than the other

“Ofcourse I do, my love, I trust you more than I’ve ever trusted anyone, and I believe every word you say,”

Brady was the type who would rather die than go back on a promise, if he said he was going to make everything alright, he’d bring down the entire world in an effort to do so- if he had to, ofcourse

Stolas was quiet for a few moments, letting Brady speak, letting his words sink in, he considered for a moment how to respond, knowing how delicate the situation was, the last thing he wanted to do was let his mouth get ahead of him and say the wrong thing, but... there was only one thing he could think of that might provide any comfort

“The... man I had an affair with, he’s the ex of my father’s secretary,” he said slowly

“I know Verosika fairly well, she’s worked for my father for many years and is far better than that company deserves- when she’s sober... I.. should have known, is my point, I should have recognized Blitz, I should have... known that of all the men in the world to fuck around with... one of the ones who could and would run his mouth to my father’s most loyal employee was probably not the best choice I could have made, I... should have recognized him, I’m not bad with faces, I’d seen his picture in passing a few times, and I knew when I first saw him that I recognized him from somewhere... but I chose not to think too hard about that, because I was... so fond of him, I liked him alot, right away, he was cocky and brash and devious and the perfect sin for me to finally go to hell for, so... some part of me chose to ignore the sense of recognition, because I was just so fond of him, and I wanted it to work out, I wanted to believe in the fantasy that I’d wake up the next morning and he’d be in love with me and it would work.... I wasn’t stupid, I wasn’t blind, I was just... hopefull,”

Shifting a little, he pulled Brady a bit closer, letting their foreheads rest against one another

“I don’t think you were ever blind, love, I think you were hopefull, and you wanted something... you.... wanted the pretty prize in the claw machine and no amount of screaming sirens that the game was a scam would have made you want that prize any less, some part of you still said ‘I can beat it’, and honey I have been there, I have wasted more money than I want to say on those damn games.... sometimes you do win though, you know, even if you lose ninety percent of the time, I’ve always found that ten percent worth it, so... you don’t get any prizes if you don’t take the risks to win them,”

He pulled Brady’s hand closer, kissing his fingers affectionately as he stared into his partner’s eyes

“I’d take every risk, play every game, to be here with you darling, I am so sorry you got hurt, I am so sorry someone was so cruel to you, it’s inexcusable, but it’s not your fault, no part of it is in any way your fault, for... what? Being trusting? Wanting love? If that’s a crime then I should be hanged,” he teased, kissing Brady’s nose, before his own nose wrinkled with distaste

“But this bullshit about you not being enough? No no no dear, that HAS to go, I have never in my life met anyone who is as ‘enough’ as you are, who is more deserving of love and affection and happiness, you deserve someone who would rip the stars out of the sky and adorn you with their light if you merely asked for a closer look at them, and lucky for us both, I happen to be that very dedicated person,”

Sitting up, Stolas rolled easily out of bed, never letting go of Brady’s hand, and moving around to his side, doing a little shimmy and wiggling his eyebrows playfully

“Do you want to do some magic with me darling? It’ll put a smile on your face, I guarantee it,”

the-0wl-prince​:

“Oh I’m sure you will, and my family is influential enough that we can probably get away with it, besides, as our lord and savior Taylor Swift said- no body no crime, believe me, sulfuric acid will not leave a body,”

It was a little… relieving, almost peacefully so, that Brady shared his rather extreme and macabre way of venting, Stolas knew that this kind of conversation could disturb some people, but his amazing, magnificent partner clearly wasn’t one of them

His lips ticked down further, Brady sounded so distant, it was incredibly concerning coming from someone who was usually so present…

He hugged Brady tighter, pressing a few more kisses to his lover’s face, his shoulder, wherever he could easily reach

“Brady, my love, everything is going to be ok, alright? You have my word, I will make everything ok,”

As difficult as it was for him to see his partner this way, as much as he wanted to just wave a wand and fix everything with magic- something he knew wasn’t possible, things didn’t work that way- he also knew he had to be patient and let Brady come to him at his own pace, that was something fatherhood had taught him, that as much as he wanted to jump into this problem head first, sometimes you just had to be patient

He was relieved, though, when Brady started to open up to him, even though that opening up brought with it plenty of pain

Listening to Brady’s explanation was close to agonizing, and it was clear that his partner was still tormented by his past, something Stolas could understand intimately well

“Oh sweetheart…. I am so sorry…” he breathed, setting his phone aside now that he knew Octavia was alright and carefully tugging Brady into his lap, his height finally becoming an advantage as it allowed him to envelope his partner a bit better in the affection he deserved

“That is absolutely disgusting, and I am so sorry anyone has hurt you that way, or any way, it’s utterly inexcusable,” he promised, hugging his Dom tighter, rubbing his back and kissing his head, the comforting presence he was so rarely able to let out making it’s self very well known for once

“Have you ever considered getting some form of revenge? I could assist you with that, I can have quite the mean streak you know,” he hummed, bordering on teasing, as he began playing with the ends of Brady’s hair

“I understand, you know… they say daddy issues create people pleasers and mommy issues create sociopaths..  it’s alright, I’m a sociopath too… if you want to talk about it- any of it-  you have my full attention, and.. if you would rather lay this down and revisit it when it doesn’t feel quite so raw…. we can do that too, and I can ease your mind some other way, it’s your choice, my love, and whatever you choose, you have my full support,”

In spite of the situation at hand Brady couldn’t help the smile that came across his face at Stolas words. “I know. Between the two of us, we could make it happen. Alone, you could, I see that. But, you aren’t alone, which makes things better in some regards. You’re quoting Taylor Swift?” He couldn’t stop himself from asking.

Brady could feel Stolas against him, and feel the kisses he was being given from his submissive. The entire situation had thrown him for a loop he hadn’t been expecting, and for someone who was normally so put together and prepared, it was an incredibly difficult thing to deal with. Though he struggled to keep his mind in the same place as his body, he felt his resolve weakening, doing his best to hold on to Stolas presence to keep himself grounded. 

“That’s my job, isn’t it?” He asked, not in a mean or harsh way, but in the calmest of ways, a genuine curiosity on his face despite the distance still present in his voice. “I trust you, I know you will. I hope you trust me to do the same. I just can’t get…” He shook his head. 

More than ever before, Brady wanted to confide in Stolas. To open himself completely, and release every bit of hurt and anguish he’d been carrying, masking so well, since all that had occurred between his mother and his ex. Still, he couldn’t bring himself to find the right words, part of him wouldn’t allow it. You’ve been hurt enough already the voice in his head rang. 

“It’s…” He began, hearing Stolas unnecessary apology. “It just is. It was. I should’ve seen it coming. I’ve never considered myself to be a blind man. My eyes are always open, to avoid situations like that. If I know what’s coming, I wont’ be surprised. But I let…” Brady lowered his eyes, voice clearly strained under the weight of his emotion. “I let my feelings get in the way. I couldn’t see things for what they really were.”

Looking back on that time in his life was one of the most painful things Brady had ever tried forcing himself to do. After what he’d learned of his partner and his mother, he hadn’t begun to bring himself to look at either of them as anything short of traitorous, something he couldn’t reconcile. After spending his entire life believing he’d be alone, that he’d find no one, to learn the first person to change that mindset was the source of nothing but  more pain? It drove Brady insane. 

“Revenge isn’t worth it.” He said simply, tone still heavy under the weight of the emotion he’d bee withholding for so long. “Revenge against what? A man who didn’t love me, despite the fact that I would have given him…A man who used me, who betrayed me, and a mother who…Hasn’t ever really been a mother at all. It’s my fault. I should’ve known.” The self-blame was evident and strong, and it felt as though Brady’s heart was breaking all over again. “I wasn’t enough. I’m not enough.”

Now this is a response I can agree with

My master and I are planning an elaborate murder of those responsible, kind of a couple’s thing, but you’re welcome to join us in the maiming if you so wish, you look like you have some aggression just itching to get out

Seems we have that in common

Come the fuck on. I don’t know why everyone is freaking out over this shit, you’re all doing nothing but giving them exactly what they want. As for me, I have just one more thing to say: you’re going to have to do better than that, fuckers.  @luxeacademystarters​

Stolas: I want to know you too, my love, everything about you

Stolas: Please ask away <3

Stolas: My family is homophobic and base their “love” on a sliding scale of approval over accomplishments and I spent my entire adulthood in a loveless marriage that grew into an intense hatred from the mother of my child, I think I’d be surprised if I had ever believed I would be loved, but I’m immensely glad to be wrong, I am unbelievably lucky to have you my darling Brady, you are a gift sculpted from the hands of the gods, a shining ray of glittering moonlight in an otherwise bleak night sky, and I am so lucky you’ve chosen to shine upon me

Stolas: Be..cause... it’s weird? It’s weird enough in heterosexual relationships, as I’ve been informed, and then you add the gender manipulation on top of it, compounded by the fact that I have zero desire to be female, so it’s a little... I’m not really sure what it means, that I want something that’s so inherently feminine despite not actually wanting to make any changes to my gender at all, I wouldn’t even want to change my anatomy if given the chance, I think

Stolas: I haven’t had the opportunity, my only partners have been you, Stella, and Blitz; Stella is an obvious out, Blitz was a one-night-stand- we didn’t have a chance to try even more common kinks, much less the exotic ones, and with you... well we’ve been very busy but even we haven’t been able to do everything just yet ;)

Stolas: Gods. Yes. I fantasized about it the night before last, I dreamed about it, about belonging to you in the most primal way imaginable

Stolas: Thank you Sir, I.. thank you for being you, I know that probably sounds so bland but... believe me, there is truly much to be said for just... being yourself, being your incredible, amazing self, I love you so incredibly much my darling master

the-0wl-prince​:

Stolas: I do nothing but speak the truth my love, though I realize the truth isn’t always easy to hear

Stolas: There isn’t a “right” or “wrong” response, you could quite honestly say “fuck you” and I’d still know what you mean ;) But really.. actions speak louder than words, darling, and your actions are as sweet and pure as a honeycomb

Stolas: I.. know how you feel, I’ve spent my entire life not believing I would ever have anyone who was in love with me, it’s a little strange being in a position now where I’m with someone who is, I do find it rather unbelievable that you aren’t already taken by a fantastic lover, but I take that as my gain and their loss, my point is… we can feel our way through this new glorious thing together, wouldn’t you say?

Stolas: ..Ahh… alot? It’s.. quite a turn on… but I didn’t want to say anything in the beginning because I know how unusual it is, I didn’t want to turn you off before we’d even begun, I’m sorry Sir

Stolas: I’ve done nothing but read about it I’m afraid, never had the opportunity, I’ve only read about it in erotic novels

Stolas: It’s… an impregnation kink, I fantasize about being fucked so hard you get me pregnant, that you make me your’s in the most primal way possible

Stolas: Obviously I logically know that that isn’t possible, but roleplaying it sounds… erotic

Stolas: I realize as I say it that perhaps this should have been one of the first indicators that I was gay……

Stolas: Thank you my darling, this is the first time I’ve ever said any of this.. out loud or otherwise, you’re the first person I’ve ever told, so it’s a little bit frightening

Brady: I want to know you. More of you. 

Brady: Stolas, I want to ask you something. 

Brady: Why would you ever believe that, Stolas? I am taken by a fantastic lover. We can. I don’t like not knowing, and this is an unknown. But I trust you, which is hard to come by. And I am in love with you. I won’t deny the feeling. What I know to be true. 

Brady: Interesting. Why did you think it would turn me off?

Brady: Why haven’t you tried it? Do you masturbate to the thought of it? Stroke your hard, throbbing cock, desperately, at the thought of being bred? Of taking my cum so fucking well, you wind up carrying my child?

Brady: Good boy for telling me what you want, Stolas. Pet. 

Brady: Perhaps it should have been. 

Brady: I want you to feel safe to tell me things. Remember that as your Master, I need to know every single thought, especially ones like this. How can I take care of you if I don’t? Properly, anyway. Don’t be frightened. Trust me to hear you. Trust me to love you. Trust me to take care of every need you have.
