The Science of Soap Packaging: Ensuring Product Integrity with Custom Solutions
Behind each soap product lies a fastidious science that stretches out past definition to the domain of packaging. Custom soap packaging isn't only a visual material; a logical undertaking assumes a vital part in shielding item trustworthiness and guaranteeing a consistent excursion from the maker to the buyer. In this blog, we dig into the complicated study of soap packaging and how custom solutions stand as sentinels of item protection and quality confirmation.
The Delicate Equilibrium of Insurance
Soap, a fragile combination of normal fixings and painstakingly created details requires the greatest possible level of security from outside components. Custom soap packaging is intended to keep up with this fragile equilibrium:
1. Hindrance Determination: The decision to package materials turns into a science in itself. Custom soap boxes consolidate progressed hindrance solutions that safeguard the soap from moisture, UV beams, and ecological impurities, saving its quality and adequacy.
2. Temperature Control: Soap's arrangement can be delicate to temperature vacillations. Logically designed packaging maintains a controlled climate, protecting the cleanser's surface, scent, and helpful properties.
3. Influence Flexibility: Custom soap packaging is intended to endure the afflictions of transportation and care. The influence of safe materials and primary respectability guarantee that the soap arrives at its destination unscathed.

The Oxygen Condition
Oxygen, however fundamental forever, can be inconvenient to soap life span. The study of soap packaging handles the oxygen condition with accuracy:
1. Oxygen Obstruction Movies: Custom soap packaging frequently integrates oxygen hindrance films that hinder oxygen particles from saturating the packaging. This obstruction jelly soap newness and forestalls untimely oxidation.
2. Broadened Time span of usability: The study of oxygen control expands the soap's timeframe of realistic usability, guaranteeing that buyers get items that hold their intensity and quality long after creation.
3. Quality Confirmation: With custom solutions, brands can unhesitatingly guarantee buyers of soap quality, supported by the logical standards of oxygen decrease and safeguarding.
Stickiness The executives
Stickiness represents a critical danger to soap products, possibly changing surface, scent, and appearance. Custom soap packaging utilizes logical procedures to oversee moistness:
1. Desiccants and Sponges: Logically incorporated desiccants and sponges inside custom soap boxes effectively manage dampness levels, shielding soap from an overabundance of dampness that can think twice about trustworthiness.
2. Dampness-Safe Obstructions: High-level dampness-safe materials make a defensive case around the cleanser, protecting it from surrounding mugginess and keeping up with its unique state.
3. Item Consistency: The logical way to deal with moistness the executives guarantee that shoppers get soap products that reflect the quality and consistency imagined by the brand.
Maintainability and Rack Dependability
The study of soap packaging stretches out past security to manageability and rack steadiness:
1. Manageable Decisions: Logically organized eco-accommodating materials add to maintainable packaging rehearses. Custom arrangements that focus on natural cognizance line up with present-day purchasers' assumptions.
2. Limited Debasement: Custom soap packaging solutions guarantee that the soap's properties stay unaltered after some time, limiting corruption and augmenting rack solidness.
3. Logical Approval: Brands that put resources into logical packaging solutions can certainly introduce their soap products, realizing that each part of safeguarding and insurance has been thoroughly approved.
Cooperation for Logical Greatness
The logical honesty of custom soap packaging is a cooperative undertaking that includes packaging specialists, materials researchers, and soap manufacturers:
1. Material Development: Team up with materials researchers to investigate innovative packaging materials that line up with soap conservation necessities and maintainability objectives.
2. Testing and Approval: Thorough testing and approval conventions guarantee that custom soap packaging solutions meet logical benchmarks for assurance, protection, and rack steadiness.
3. Nonstop Progression: The study of soap packaging is a continuous excursion of progress. Brands that stay focused on logical progressions constantly refine their packaging solutions for ideal item respectability.
Custom soap packaging is a logical creativity, an orchestra of materials, design, and safeguarding rules that work amicably to guarantee item uprightness. In the many-sided dance between security and show, custom solutions stand as a demonstration of a brand's obligation to convey soap products that rise above assumptions. As you investigate the universe of custom soap packaging, recollect that behind each case lies a logical story that ensures packaging, yet the conservation of the actual pith of your soap products.

you invite him inside
It's Summer 2007, and you're on your way home from a party in Edinburgh. You encounter an exceptionally forward Scottish stranger with a buzzed head and a brow ring, calling himself Soap - you roll the dice, and let him walk you home.
Tumblr media
18+ MDNI - cw: reader is drunk - 5k words
tags: Indie Sleaze(!!) Johnny 'Soap' Mactavish x f!Reader, teasing & denial, flirting & banter
a/n: this is (some) of the first chapter of my longfic Trainspotting on A03, bitterfruit. I thought I'd share on here since I'm working on a part 2!! ♡
Tumblr media
You carve through the beating crowd of the house party; sloshing drinks and drunken hands intercept you as you attempt to navigate your way to the front door. MGMT’s Kids thunders from the speakers in the hallway, its deafening volume only exacerbated by the passionate chanting of the dancers that hover around it.
Control yourself! Take only what you neeeed from it!
Your friend Katie, who had brought you as a plus-one, had long disappeared with some boy she had been all over - taking your coat with her - leaving you to make your way home in nothing but your needlessly skimpy playboy bunny costume.
Finally stumbling out of the dense jungle of partygoers, you burst through the front door as if you’d just been birthed, sweaty and panting. 
Just a fifteen-minute walk.
With your arms crossed, you trudge down the steps in the stiletto pumps you had borrowed from Katie – glossy, sharp, and a size too small. Fuck, they ache. Before you even make it past the gate, you throw in the towel and unstuff your feet from their latex trappings; holding the shoes with two fingers hooked at the heels, doing your best to avoid stepping on the broken glass on the footpath.
As your distance from the house party grows and the echoes of Paper Planes begin to fade, it dawns on you that you’re far drunker than you had believed yourself to be. Being surrounded by students two boxes and three pingers deep has the tendency to make you feel staunchly sober by comparison.
Still, you feel the slabs of concrete wobbling beneath your feet, your head starts to spin like you’ve stepped off a carousel if you shut your eyes for too long. The streets are utterly quiet, devoid of cars or people, despite the neighbourhood’s proximity to the CBD. You may well have found it off-putting if you were sober, but in truth, you’re just thanking Christ there’s nobody around to see you trotting down the road in nothing but a bodysuit and fishnets. You imagine a car might pull up alongside you, rolling slowly on its wheels as the driver asks through his window, “how much for an hour?”
And that would almost be preferable to what you actually encounter once you’re halfway home – crossing the street, stumbling in your bare feet as you walk past shops with steel shutters blocking their doors and windows.
You hear the distinctive thuds of sprinting feet from far behind you; the soles of sneakers slamming hard on the footpath, in a rapid enough pace that the person might as well be an Olympian runner. As they get louder, closer, your first instinct is to flee – but before you even have the chance to turn to look over your shoulder, the sprinter has come to a screeching halt beside you, tearing off their jacket and tossing it over your shoulders as if it were a cape.
“What the fu–” You yelp, hastily cut short.
“Shh – shut up, pretend y’know me.”
A man, and a local, evidently – the kind of Scottish accent so thick you can barely distinguish the beginning of one word from the end of another. 
“Get away fr–”
He interrupts you once again, tossing an arm over your shoulder as he walks alongside you, shoving his other fist into the pocket of his loose black jeans. “Please, lassie, do me a favour and just go with it.”
Amidst his breathlessness he sounds quite desperate – voice deep and warm, oozing sincerity despite the edge in his tone. So you weigh your options, whether or not to trust him, or to help him, or to scream and flee. You tilt your head just enough to take a peek at him; he hunches over, shoulders shrugging high as if keeping his neck warm, head low like it might hide his buzzcut from whoever may be chasing him.
You quickly discover that there are, in fact, people chasing him – more echoes from further down the road of multiple sets of running feet. You hear an enraged roar from a man behind you; your body tenses on instinct, head twisting further in the hopes of checking how close they are to you.
“Don’t look at ‘em,” he instructs you pointedly, under his breath.
More indistinguishable yelling erupts from his pursuers, though they no longer seem to be approaching. “Cheap fucken’ trick, ye fucken’ coward!”
“Keep walkin’ with me,” he mutters, tugging you along with his heaving arm draped around the back of your neck, forcing you to accelerate so that you can keep up with him.
Adrenaline throbbing hotly in your ears, you try to steal glances at the controlling stranger, not able to see much of him in your periphery. You realise now that the gifting of his jacket was not a chivalrous gesture, but a failed attempt to trick his pursuers. “Sounds like they’ve spotted you,” you whisper-yell, facing ahead.  
“Aye,” he grunts, “but they won’t touch me if there’s a witness.”
“I don’t want to be a witness,” you squeak, nervous terror in your throat.
He chuckles breathily, gives a single shake of his head. “Too late.”
“Next time I see ye, yer a fucken’ dead man, hear me? With or without yer hoor!”
The stranger groans as he scoops you around a corner, keeping a hurried pace, shooting looks over his shoulder to ensure he’s no longer being followed. Fortunately – or, unfortunately – this was the corner you would have taken anyway.
“Did he just call me a whore?” You whisper, still in shock.
He chortles at you again, sliding his weighty arm from your shoulders and releasing you at long last. “Ignore ‘em. Fucken' wankers.”
You finally have the opportunity to turn around fully to check behind you, seeing only empty, silent street.
“They won’t follow us,” he assures you, still walking alongside you, arrogant in his assumption that you won’t tell him to fuck off.
But you don’t, not yet. “Why – why were they chasing you?”
“Nosy wee thing, aren’t ye?” He smiles, crossing his arms, and you finally get a good look at him.
Hair buzzed short, the sort of job he likely did himself over his sink with an electric clipper plugged into the wall. A curved barbel pierces through the tail of his left eyebrow, almost as flashy as the sharp grey eyes pointing down at you from beneath it. His grin pushes dimples into his densely stubbled cheeks, revealing charmingly crooked teeth, and a golden crown on his right canine.
There’s something tired, jaded about him, dark eyes and low brows; face speckled with a variety of little scars, one white slash through his right eyebrow, a few pink lines carving over his temple and through his shaven scalp.
You blink, reminding yourself to speak.
“Nosy?” You snap, “you brought me into this!”
He tilts his head, appearing to acquiesce. “Aye, true. They’re just mad ‘cos I short-changed ‘em.”
As he shrugs, the hem of his cropped t-shirt tugs up on his stomach, revealing the hem of plaid boxers sticking out from his baggy trousers, a sliver of firm abdomen, a dusting of curly hair trailing down from his navel. You swallow.
“Hm. For what?” You pester.
“Now yer bein’ nosy.”
You huff, crossing your arms underneath the cape of his jacket, checking over your shoulder one last time to be certain you’re no longer being stalked.
“Fine,” you pout. After a beat of silence, you decide to add; “I’m not a prostitute, by the way.”
He snickers hoarsely, “’course not. Prostitutes are much more subtle. You’d be the first I’ve ever seen dressed as a – a what, a bunny?”
He reaches behind you, the cocky prick, lifting the back of his cloaking jacket and flicking the puffball pinned to your ass. You gawk at him, a surge of adrenaline buzzing within your chest – curious, that it’s not out of fear but fascination.
“See a lot of prostitutes, do you?” You sneer, noting how briefly his gaze lingers on your backside before it flits to your face.
“Not ‘round this side of town,” he chortles. You suspect he’s joking, but who’s to say? “So… why a bunny?”
“Playboy bunny,” you correct him, turning your head to glance at him; he just looks bewildered. “Pimps and hoes party.”
He laughs, richly, lurching forward as he does. “Ha! Had no idea they still did those.”
“Sure do,” you say, failing to suppress your grin. “Too old for them, are you?”
“Aye, for house parties full o’ students,” he admits, “but not too old to party. M’only twenty-six.”
You smile. “Good for you.”
“Got no girlie-mates to walk ye home?” He changes the subject.
Peeking at him, you squint. “You’re not supposed to ask a girl if she’s alone, you know.” 
“Oh,” he frowns, “why’s that?”
“Like, stranger danger.”
“Yeah?” He chuckles deeply. “Do you think I’m dangerous?”
You turn to look at him, running your eyes from his cocksure grin, down to his Chucks and back again. He certainly looks the part. Rough around the edges. You wonder if you would have avoided him, had he not approached you so blithely.
“Very,” you nod. “Plus, you’re following me.”
“Am I?” He jibes, “well, love, if ye want me to leave y’alone, tell me and I’ll try to leave ye be.”
Your pout shifts into a girlish smirk despite your dire efforts to contain it. “You’ll try?”
“Mm. Might be easier said than done,” he ribs, leering down at you. Your quiet titter only serves to embolden him. “It’s probably for the best that I found ye.”
“You reckon?”
“Mm. Not very bright o’ye to be walking home by yerself at this hour. And in that.”
You click your tongue impatiently. “You sound like my mum.”
“Then she’s a smart woman,” he says, with a sternness that leaves you taken aback.
You peer up at him, scrutinising. For fuck’s sake, you curse at yourself, get a grip. All better judgement, your guardian angel, screams at you to stop flirting with this bizarre studded stranger and hurry your ass home. But the little devil on your other shoulder is far more interested in seeing how this unusual interaction plays out.
“You gonna protect me, are ya?” You probe.
“Naturally,” he chuffs.
“Walking me home, then?”
A devilish grin stretches in his lips. “Happily.”
“Promise you’re not a psychopath or something?”
He inhales deeply, blowing a raspberry as he puts his hands on his hips. “No promises.”
“Mm. Well, I shouldn’t be surprised,” you say, “only psychopaths would roam the streets at three-a.m.”
“Yeah? What does that make you?”
You giggle. “Shit. You got me.”
“You bet I do. What kind of psycho wears a fucken’ outfit like that ‘on the streets at 3-a.m.’?”
Taking a peek down at yourself, you’re confronted immediately by your obnoxious cleavage, unsure how you could have forgotten it was there. You decide to slip your arms into the roomy sleeves of his jacket, wearing it properly rather than as a cloak – much warmer.
“What’s wrong with it?” You wonder in jest, feigning offence.
“Yer jokin’.” He scoffs.
“What?” You gaze at him, with a cock of your brow; he unashamedly glowers at you, vibrantly grey eyes raking from your lips to your feet before climbing back to your stare.
He huffs petulantly. “I could see yer tits from across the street,” he murmurs, “don’t make me say something about the stockings.”
You laugh coyly, feeling your cheeks burn hot and red. Seems like you got the answer you wanted. “S’that why you ran up to me, huh?”
He shakes his head. “Nae. That was just dumb luck.”
“Ah. Lucky you.”
“Mhm,” he rumbles, voice low, “very lucky.”
Why is your heart fluttering? Why are you suddenly hanging on his every word like a fucking teenage girl? You blame the cherry-flavoured RTDs you were knocking back every ten minutes while you were at that party. They’ve made your cheeks all pink and your tongue all wet.
Yet in the current quiet, strolling nonchalantly down an empty street at half-past three in the morning, you don’t feel any awkwardness in the silence. You just smile at your feet like an idiot.
“What’s yer name, then?” He asks casually, both fists in his pockets.
You hum in thought, “hmm. I can’t tell you that.”
“Oh? Why not?”
“You’re a stranger, remember?”
“So?” He disputes, grinning and playfully biting his bottom lip with his top teeth, brandishing that glistening golden canine.
You shake your head. “Who knows what you could do with my name! You could be a stalker for all I know,” you explain defensively, “you might find out where I work on MySpace, or something.”
He snickers. “Wouldn’t need MySpace to figure that out, lass.”
Frowning, you give him a disapproving smirk. “You’re proving my point.”
“Ye really won’t tell me?”
“Nope.”
He huffs disappointedly. “Alright, then, I’ll just have to call ye the bunny I found on the street.”
“Fine by me,” you declare proudly. “What can I call you, then? The playboy?”
With a chuckle, he purses his lips in contemplation. “The playboy to yer bunny, I like that,” he says. “But, pals call me Soap.”
“Soap?” You question incredulously, “seriously?”
“Aye. If I can’t have yer name, y'can’t have mine.”
You snort. “Is it meant to be ironic?”
“Can’t be,” he refutes, quick to detect your insult, “I’m clean as a whistle.”
As you open your mouth to offer back some snippy response, you spot your mailbox, number eighteen, three terraced townhouses down – you had lost track of how long the walk was, your charming stranger having sponged up every last drop of your attention.  
You find yourself disappointed, unjustifiably; you even consider, briefly, not mentioning that you had arrived home just so you can keep walking with him. God, you’re pathetic.
But imagining yourself having to eventually turn around, having to admit that you purposefully missed your stop – you begrudgingly decide to be a good girl and put yourself to bed.
“This is me,” you say flatly, slowing your steps before you come to a stop.
“Ah,” he stops beside you and rocks on the balls of his feet. “Bugger.”
“Yeah,” you sigh, mindlessly slipping your hands into the pockets of his jacket, preceding a reluctant silence. “Well, um... thanks for walking me home. Who knows what danger I could’ve gotten into.”
He waves away your jocose gratitude. “Oh, ‘course,” he says, “had to make sure ye didn’t get tricked into a chase by some strange gadgie.”
You snicker. “Oh, yeah. That would be terrifying.”
Crossing his arms, her gives you a wide but wistful grin. “Alright. I’ll leave you to it, hen.”
“Okay,�� you nod, chewing your lip, you feel something in his pocket – rolling it between your fingers, feels like a wad of paper. Cash? A receipt? You start to wonder what he might have ‘short-changed’ those thugs for. Don’t be nosy. “Oh – your jacket.”
As you slip it off your shoulders, he disputes; “don’t wanna keep it as a memento?”
You chuckle, frowning, shaking your head in bemusement. Memento? What a peculiar bloke. “No. It sorta smells.”
“Bollocks,” he retorts, reaching to take the jacket from you – a brown leather bomber, now that you can see it properly. “I smell divine.”
God, he does. Like patchouli and sweat and leather; some sort of earthy masculine concoction, the kind of scent that’s probably entirely accidental – underpinned, you note, by something strangely chemical, like he had just taken a walk through a hospital. Still, so delightfully distinct from the stench of Axe body spray that the boys at your university gassed themselves with daily.
You pass him the bomber, shivering once your scantily clad body is once again exposed to the chilly air of the night. He’s quite shameless, this stranger, eyes almost bulging as they comb brazenly over you – legs, hips, tits – finally getting a good look at you, he takes his time.
“Eyes up here, playboy,” you chide.
He smirks, piercing gaze jumping to yours while his head remains tilted down; you’re almost intimidated the intensity of his eye contact from under his brow. “Aye. They’re just as pretty.”
“Alright, alright,” you giggle, face glowing hot. “I’d better turn in.”
“Yes, you’d better.”
Before you bring yourself to turn around, his hand reaches toward you, plucking the bunny-eared headband from the top of your head.
“Oi!” You bark, smoothing your disturbed hair; watching in confusion as he meticulously sits them on his head, flicking one of the fuzzy white ears with a pleased grin stretched in his lips.
“I want a memento,” he explains boldly. “Never know when I'm dreamin’ these days.”
You stare at him in bewilderment, amused and oddly endeared. He slips on his jacket, stuffing his hands into his pockets and shrugging it over his shoulders.
“Fine, all yours,” you capitulate, smiling meekly, once again letting a pregnant silence linger while you resist a goodbye. “Um. Alright. Goodnight. Soap.”
He nods. “G’night, wee bunny.”
You nod, too, finally turning on your bare feet and walking up the stairs of your flat’s brick stoop. Fumbling around in your handbag, you pluck out your keys – jingling loudly with all of your various keychains as you unlock the painted white door.
You hear his footsteps as he strolls away, slowly, growing duller as the distance grows. You find yourself frozen in the open doorway, staring into the dark abyss of your foyer, facing solitude. Bouncing in dispute with yourself, you exert all strength to bite your tongue. Don’t be stupid, don’t be stupid, don’t be stupid.
He starts to whistle, some obscure tune from just down the street, as if he is purposefully reminding you he’s still in earshot – a smug little prompt.
Fuck it.
Spinning around to face the road, you lean out of the door, and call out; “Hey!”
As though he had expected it, he stops in his tracks, twirling on his heel to face you with his hands still in his pockets. Had lit himself a cigarette already, in the thirty seconds since you had bid him farewell.
“Hm? Want the ears back after all?”
“Um–” You scramble to come up with an excuse. “Those guys won’t be looking for you, will they?”
He grins. “Oh, they could well be.”
“What’ll they do if they find you?”
“Who knows,” he huffs. “Probably kill me. Might gimme one o’ those Glasgow smiles.”
“That would be pretty terrible,” you remark solemnly.
“Aye. It sure would.”
You chew the inside of your cheek, battling with your drunken little demon. “Maybe you should hide out here for the night.” You daft bitch.
“Hm,” he ponders aloud, sauntering slowly back towards your stairs, squinting in thought. “Sounds like a bad idea.”
“How come?” You challenge, tapping the inside of the doorframe with shy fingers.
He creeps up your short footpath. “Never know what might happen.”
Your lips curl into an impish smirk. “That’s the best part.”
He laughs, plucking the cigarette from his teeth, holding it between his thumb and forefinger. “How drunk are ye. On a scale one-through-ten.”
“Um,” you muse, biting your lip. “I’m not that drunk.”
“Well, hen, you must be steamed. ‘Cos that’s not a number.”
You snicker, then groan impatiently. “Four.”
“Only four, eh?” He asks dubiously, standing at the base of your stairs, he gazes up at you devilishly. “You gonna remember in the mornin’ that you asked me to come in?”
“’Course,” you say. “I want you to come inside.”
He sneers. Filthy boy. “Don’t wanna get in trouble,” he refutes.
“I want you to come in,” you insist, correcting your wording just slightly.
He hums, feigning deep thought, as if he hasn’t been hoping you’d ask. “Alright,” he surrenders. “Why not.”
You do your best to conceal your glee, nodding, grinning, you turn to step inside and you hear him follow you.
“Ye live alone?” He asks, as he looks around the empty hallway, shrouded in darkness.
Shutting the door behind you and locking it, you tut at him. “Still shouldn’t ask that.”  
“You’ve already invited me in,” he jeers, “if you’re worried I’ll hurt ye, you’ve made it well easy for me.”
“I s’pose so,” you admit, smiling sheepishly as you go to switch on the light hanging in the centre of the foyer. Christ, it’s a tip – you and Katie are equally dishevelled, leaving shoes and lip gloss and hair ties and clothes in your wake wherever you venture. “Can’t be too careful,” you add – very aware of how uncareful you are being.
“Do I scare ye?” He asks coyly, taking a raffish drag of his cigarette.
“I dunno,” you answer frankly, leaning bashfully against your front door with your hands tucked behind you. “Should I be scared of you?”
“Mm,” he shrugs, “probably.”
You purse your lips and nod. “Stranger danger,” you remind yourself.
“I reckon you’re a lot more dangerous than me,” he grins.
You frown. “Why’s that?”
He puts his cigarette between his lips, holding it with a pinch, taking a puff as he eyes you scrupulously. “Look at you.”
You suck your bottom lip between your teeth. Fucking hell.
“I have a flatmate,” you finally answer his initial question, and change the subject. “But she’s not home tonight.”
“Good,” he says, milky smoke spilling from his smile.
“Um,” you make noises to fill your flustered silence. “Want to go upstairs?”
He cocks his eyebrows. “Lead the way.”
Pushing yourself from the door, you slip past him and trot up the staircase that sits flush with the panelled wall. The old oak creaks and moans under the weight of his heavy steps, he follows you steadily.
Rushing to get to your room before he can see it, you scuttle across to your bedroom door from the landing, hoping he ignores the kaleidoscope of peeling stickers you’ve tacked above the handle. You shove it open, quickly kicking aside a pair of twisted up panties you had left on your red shag rug.
In a blink he’s behind you, standing in the doorframe, a terrifyingly tall and bulky silhouette against the dim glow emerging from downstairs – made uniquely funny by the rabbit ears sticking up from his head.
You step over the piles of discarded outfit options and switch on the lamp by your bed; the yellow bulb glows coral pink from behind the vintage fabric lampshade. Looking back at him, he’s already perusing your room like it’s a museum.
He picks up and analyses the assortment of trinkets on your shelves and chest-of-drawers (old jewellery, empty lighters, some strange ceramic babies you once picked up at a flea market), and admires the mosaic of posters on your wall (Gorillaz, Feist, The Killers, MGMT,  Arcade Fire, The Strokes, Peter Bjorn and John – careful cherry-picks of your favourite bands, in the hopes you’d one day impress some hot guy with taste as good as yours).
“Bit of an artiste, are ye?” He queries, nodding at the easel against your wall – housing a half-finished and long-hated painting of yours, an attempt at a masterwork copy of Monet; sitting amongst a bombsite of palettes, brushes in dirty cups, and curled-up tubes of oil paint.
“Guess so,” you answer. “It’s my degree.”
He leans into your hideous painting, taking a drag but careful not to stain the canvas with the smoke. “Still studying, then?”
“Yeah, uh, my Master’s.”
He nods. “If you’re already this good, what does a Master’s in painting get ye?”
You snort. “Good fuckin’ question.”
Feeling suddenly shy, you venture to busy yourself, electing to pull the curtains shut over your window.
You hear him chuckle while you aren’t looking. “What’s this?”
“What’s what?”
You spin on the ball of your foot, and freeze instantly – stare caught on your grape-coloured vibrator, held comfortably in the palm of his hand, he tosses it and catches it again. You had left it on your bed, a rookie mistake. You fucking idiot!
Your hand shoots to cover your mouth, fire burns white-hot behind your cheeks; but you can only giggle, humiliated. “Put that down,” you plead into your palm.
Ignoring you, he inspects it, quickly finding the button to turn it on; its buzzing rings out obnoxiously loud into the cripplingly awkward silence, forcing you to grimace. He doesn’t seem to find it awkward at all, holding the end of the purple rod into his other hand, curling his lips in disapproval as he evidently evaluates the vibration against his skin.
“Never understood why you girls like these things,” he remarks insouciantly.
“Please put it down,” you cry, staring at the ceiling as if it might hide you from the embarrassment.
He only sniggers. “Cannae compare to the real thing.”
You cover your eyes. “It fills the void,” you quietly admit.
He finally switches it off, but continues to fiddle with it as he ambles towards you. “Mustn’t do a very good job o’ that.”
Uncovering your face, finally, you jolt when you see how close he is to you – only a foot between you, you can feel the heat of him from where you stand. You do your utter best to prevent your eyes from jumping to the vibrator in his grip, but he still toys with it, as if just to taunt you.
“What makes you say that?”
He gazes down at you, lips stretched into a smug grin. “Why’d you invite me in, eh?”
You swallow, stifling a giggle – you look around capriciously, anywhere but his drilling stare. “Just wanted to help you out.”
“Help me out?” He interrogates you, inching forward, forcing you to step onto your back foot.
You’re suddenly short of breath. “I didn’t want you to get stabbed.”
He gleams that cheshire smile, suddenly his canines seem sharper. “You’re a bad liar, wee bunny.”
“Am I?” You utter, shambling back further has he continues to encroach.
“Took me to yer bedroom straight away… didn’t even offer me a drink…” he teases, “I’m thinkin’ ye want me to help you out.”
You feel a sudden bump as your back hits the door of your cupboard, shrinking as he leans over you, closing the gap. Your eyes catch on his lips as he again places his cigarette in between them, its smoke drifting softly over your face, your stare lingers.
“Dunno where you got that idea,” you breathe, entranced by the cloud that’s left in his mouth once he tugs the roll out again.
Don’t be stupid. Don’t be stupid. Don’t be stupid.
Ignoring any remaining shred of common sense, you step up on your tiptoes to slam your lips against his, sucking down the smoke lingering behind his teeth deep into your chest. He matches you with no hint of hesitation, leaning into you with the full weight of his body, you hear him finally drop the vibrator as it lands on the carpet with a dull thud.
Fuck, his tongue tastes good – like tobacco and peppermint chewing gum, soft and hungry as it writhes against yours. He does what he can with his one free hand, starting tastefully with a cup of your cheek, then a hold of the side of your neck, down to your shoulder – before plunging into a greedy handful of your breast, kneading it like dough.
His wet and eager lips drag along from yours, taking soft bites out of your cheek, hot tongue licking from your jaw to your neck, where he burrows his teeth. You let out a breathy whimper, fervid fingers clutch and claw at his chest through his t-shirt, using the fabric to pull him closer. His busy hand ventures along your waist, taking a palmful of your hip and tugging it only slightly towards him.
Impatient, ravenous, your fingers slither down his firm stomach to the waistband of his jeans, fumbling to get his button undone; you feel him smile against your skin, a breathy chuckle, before his other hand moves to stop you with a hold of your wrist.
He releases your neck from his maw, standing upright with a fucking cocky and self-satisfied grin plastered on his face. You let go of his button and return your hands to your sides, worried you’d been too eager, put him off with your fervour.
“Glad to know it’s this easy to get ye hot n’ bothered,” he drawls, taking another drag of what is now nearly just the butt.
“No idea what you mean,” you pant, utterly breathless, you sweep some stray hair from your forehead with your palm.  “I’m not hot and bothered.”
“Aren’t you?” He goads, and the hand that clutches your hip sneaks towards your centre, prompting you to hold your breath; he snakes it over your mound, gliding it brazenly between your closed legs.
His shrewd eyes watch you, arrogantly, as he palms your aching pussy through the thin fabric of your bodysuit – under which you wore no panties, you wonder if he can feel how damp it is. He pushes a coaxing pressure against your covered clit with the heel of his palm, forcing you to whine in desperation; your insatiable hands return to his chest, balling the fabric of his t-shirt into your fists – and he only chortles.
“I could fry an egg on that,” he says.
And suddenly you snort, breaking into cackling laughter as you shove him away with both hands. “God, you’re disgusting!”
He laughs with you, proud of himself, he finally takes off the fucking bunny ears.
“I could hang a towel on that,” you jab, eyes suddenly caught on the frightening tent pitched in his roomy trousers. That can’t be real.
“You could hang a lot on it,” he agrees rakishly, chuckling, palming the length under his pants to tuck it away.
You try to contain your giggles as you push yourself upright, attempting to un-fluster yourself by smoothing your hair and wiping the dampness of his saliva from your neck. You feel the slippery wetness of your cunt with a step. “You’re evil,” you spit, still throbbing from his attention.
“Cannae fuck you yet,” he declares bluntly, turning to dump the end of his cigarette into your paintbrush cup full of brown water.
“Why not?” You pout, whingeing like a spoilt brat.
He returns with a debonair grin. “Gotta give you a reason to see me again.”
