Ekko eating you out
featuring. ekko x fem! reader
warnings. smut (18+), fingering, the reader getting eaten out, ekko being a munch (lol is that the right term?), first time this type of smut :/
Ekko knelt at the edge of the bed, his warm palms gliding along the soft skin of your thighs, gripping them just hard enough to leave a memory of his touch. The dim light in the room cast shadows on his face, highlighting the sharp angles of his jaw and the glint of his piercing eyes as they stayed fixed on you.
âYou look beautiful like this,â he murmured, his voice low and husky. His thumbs rubbed slow, circular patterns against your clit, his grip tightening every time your hips squirmed in anticipation.
Your breathing hitched as he leaned forward, his lips brushing over the sensitive skin of your inner thigh. His touch sent shivers cascading down your spine, and a soft whimper escaped your lips.
âPatience, babe,â he teased, his breath hot against you. âLet me take my time with you.â His mouth trailed higher, each kiss more deliberate than the last, until his lips hovered just above your folds. Your body ached for him, the desire building with every second of his teasing.
When he finally pressed his mouth against them, the sensation felt amazing. A gasp tore from your lips as his tongue moved expertly, his pace unhurried yet devastatingly precise. He licked a slow, deliberate stripes, his tongue flattening against you before flicking upwards, and the soft wet, sounds filled the room.
âFuckâŠâ you slightly moaned, your hands clutching the sheets as your hips bucked involuntarily.
He chuckled against you, the vibrations sending a jolt of pleasure through your body. âStay still for me,â he murmured, his voice almost a growl. His hands slid below your thighs linked his fingers together. He pressed his hands into your stomach, firmly holding against the mattress. âIâve got you.â
His fingers joined afterwhile, one sliding inside you with ease, curling just right to find that perfect spot. The squelching noise that followed was hot, your arousal coating his fingers as he moved them in rhythm with his tongue.
âGod, youâre so wet,â he muttered, his tone laced with admiration and desire. âYou sound delicious, babe.â
Your head tipped back, a series of breathless moans escaping you as his movements became more insistent. The pace of his fingers, the kisses his mouth left, and the firm grip on your thighs had you trembling beneath him.
âEkko, Iââ
He looked up at you, his chin glistening, a wicked smirk playing on his lips. âYouâre not goinâ anywhere until you are begging for me,â he said, his voice full of playful dominance.
Your legs tried to close instinctively at the overwhelming sensation, but his grip tightened, keeping you wide open for him. He pinned your thighs down with a possessive strength, his fingers digging into your thighs just enough to leave marks.
âUh-uh,â he chided, his voice a mix of amusement and command. âPlease stay still.â The wet slurping noises grew louder as he added another finger, the sensation of being stretched and filled making your body arch against his hold. His tongue moved in tandem, swirling and flicking in a way that had you crying out his name.
Your hands flew to his hair, tugging at his locks as the pleasure became almost too much to bear. âEkko, please, Iâmââ You began to push his head deeper into you trying to make yourself come faster.
âNot yet,â he cut you off, his voice dripping with authority. He pressed his fingers deeper inside of you, curling them perfectly as his tongue focused on your clit. "You'll get your chance to come."
Your thighs trembled under his strong grip, the tightness in your core building to an almost unbearable peak. Each movement of his tongue and fingers sent waves of pleasure crashing through you, the wet sounds echoing in the room showing just how completely he had unraveled you.
"Please"" you whimpered, your voice trembling as you teetered on the edge. "I can't-"
"Just a little more," he urged, his pace quickening. You could now hear him slurping all of your juices as you tried to hold it in. His grip on your thighs tightened even further, his nails digging into your thighs as he held you exactly where he wanted you. "I want you come all over my face."
His words were your undoing. With one last stroke of his tongue, the built up tension snapped, and you came undone with a cry of his name. Your body convulsed beneath him, your thighs trembling as he rode out your orgasm, his mouth and fingers relentless in their movements.
The slick, wet noises continued as he worked you through your high, his tongue savoring every last drop of your release. When you finally collapsed back onto the bed, trembling and spent, he pulled away, his lips and chin glistening as he smirked up at you.
"Damn," he said, his voice laced with pride and satisfaction. "You're even louder than I thought you'd be."
You shot him a weak glare, your chest heaving as you tried to catch your breath. "This was too much," you muttered, though the fondness in your tone was undeniable.
He chuckled, pressing a soft kiss to your inner thigh before finally releasing your legs. "You did great," he replied, his eyes warm as he crawled up to join you on the bed.
As he pulled you into his arms, his fingers tracing lazy circles on your back, you couldn't help but smile, your heart full and your body still buzzing from the hot feeling of his touch.

29. A Venus square Saturn woman has a heart made of glass covered in barbed wire. She loves deeply, but only lets a select few inside. If you break her trust, youâre dead to her forever.
30. If youâve ever been obsessed with someone and couldnât explain why, check your Pluto synastry. The planet of control and destruction doesnât just connect peopleâit binds them.

The Fine Print || J.Wonwoo
Pairing: CEO!Wonwoo Ă Fashion Mogul(CEO Of A Fashion Line)!Fem Reader



Trope: Enemies to Lovers | Fake Dating | Revenge Pact | Forced Marriage Fallout
Warnings: Mentions of material coercion, non-consensual marriage, sexual assault (not with wonwoo), trauma (not with wonwoo), alcohol, revenge, corporate manipulation, and emotional healing, WORK OF FICTION, NO PROOF READING WAS DONE
Word Count: 9525 words ; Reading Time: 35-ish mins
Synopsis: In a world driven by power and appearances, a successful fashion CEO finds herself trapped in a toxic, loveless marriage for the sake of reputation. After discovering her infertility and surviving the cruelty of her husband, she walks outâscorched but not shattered. To destroy him completely, she calls on her old university rival, Jeon Wonwooânow a ruthless tech tycoon and her biggest critic. His help comes with a condition: pretend to be his girlfriend. What begins as public spectacle spirals into nights of vulnerability, unspoken truths, and a romance neither saw coming. Because sometimes⊠even the coldest rivals can burn the brightest together.
Authorâs Note: Writing this helped me cope with the reality that Wonwooâs enlistment in the military hasnât given me an ounce of peace. Instead, I poured my delusions into this fierce, messy, powerful enemies-to-lovers fic to survive the drought. To everyone else feeling the same? This oneâs for us.
Request's are closed <3 I will be working on the requests I have got in my inbox!!
The weight of the midnight blue silk dress felt like a cruel mockery against your skin. It was the centerpiece of your latest collection, a flowing testament to the fierce, independent spirit you poured into every design, every meticulously stitched seam of your burgeoning fashion empire.
Yet, tonight, the luxurious fabric felt less like the armor of a CEO and more like the suffocating drapery of a gilded cage. You stared at your reflection in the antique, gold-framed mirror of the ballroomâs powder room, the soft, strategically placed lighting doing little to mask the subtle shadows of exhaustion that clung to the corners of your eyes. (Y/N), CEO of a fashion house whose innovative designs were rapidly gaining global recognition, your name a whisper of power and creative vision â a stark and bitter contrast to the carefully constructed role you were forced to inhabit within the confines of your marriage.
Your husband, Julian Thorne, the formidable CEO of OmniTech Industries, a colossus straddling the international tech landscape, was the architect of this elaborate charade. Your marriage, a highly publicized union touted as a groundbreaking synergy of fashion and technology, had been conceived in the sterile environment of boardrooms, fueled by ambition and sealed with a handshake that felt colder than any winter frost.
Your father, a man whose own dreams for your fashion legacy had become intertwined with the allure of Thorneâs immense technological might, had championed the union with a relentless enthusiasm that still left a bitter taste in your mouth. He had seen potential, synergy, an elevation of your brand to unprecedented heights. He had failed to see the steel in Julianâs gaze, the calculating glint that spoke of acquisition rather than partnership.
Julian was a man sculpted from ambition and devoid of genuine warmth. His interactions were precise, his words measured, and his affection, if it could even be dignified with such a term, was strictly conditional, tethered to his almost obsessive desire for an heir. He spoke of children with a possessive gleam in his steely blue eyes, viewing them as another meticulously planned acquisition, another crucial element in securing his legacy, a tangible extension of his power.
You, on the other hand, felt a cold dread coil in your stomach every time the topic surfaced. Your energy, your passion, your very being was poured into your company, into the tangible beauty you created from sketches and swatches. Motherhood, especially under Julianâs cold, controlling gaze, felt like a distant, blurry concept, a role you were profoundly unprepared and unwilling to embrace, not with him, not yet.
The memory of that night, months prior, still had the power to send icy tendrils of fear snaking through your veins. It was a violation that had stripped you bare, leaving you feeling hollowed out and irrevocably tainted. The forced intimacy, his relentless insistence despite your whispered protests, the chilling certainty in his eyes that your body was his to command â it was a deep, festering wound that no amount of time seemed capable of fully healing. He wanted a child so desperately, the cruel thought would surface unbidden, a bitter reminder of your powerlessness, he didnât care about you, only the outcome.
The subsequent months crawled by with agonizing slowness, each one marked by Julianâs increasingly impatient inquiries, his subtle pressure escalating into thinly veiled accusations. The hopeful anticipation that had initially laced his voice slowly curdled into suspicion, then resentment, and finally, outright hostility.
The air in your shared penthouse apartment grew thick with unspoken tension, punctuated by his sharp demands and your increasingly strained silences. Finally, the sterile, impersonal environment of the doctorâs office confirmed your deepest anxieties, though the revelation was far more complex and devastating than you had ever imagined. You were infertile.
The diagnosis, delivered with a clinical detachment that mirrored Julianâs own emotional landscape, landed like a physical blow, knocking the breath from your lungs. But the true agony wasnât the medical pronouncement itself; it was the volcanic eruption of Julianâs rage that followed.
His disappointment twisted into a venomous fury, his words sharp and cruel, like shards of glass tearing at your already fragile sense of self-worth. âUseless,â he had spat, his face contorted with contempt, his eyes devoid of any semblance of human compassion. âBarren. You canât even fulfill the one fundamental purpose of a wife. Youâve failed me.â
Those brutal, unfair words, delivered with such cold conviction, finally shattered the last vestiges of your carefully constructed composure. The fear that had kept you compliant, the ingrained obligation you felt towards your familyâs carefully laid plans, all crumbled into dust under the crushing weight of his unfeeling cruelty. That night, as Julian slept in the master bedroom, oblivious to the seismic shift within you, you had quietly contacted your most trusted legal counsel. The divorce papers were drafted with swift, efficient precision, a silent declaration of war, a decisive act of rebellion against the suffocating confines of the gilded cage you had allowed yourself to be trapped within.
Now, standing amidst the opulent yet suffocating atmosphere of the farewell party your parents had insisted on hosting â a final, polite, and utterly insincere nod to the spectacular failure of your âstrategic allianceâ â you felt a strange, unsettling mix of liberation and lingering pain.
The forced smiles and empty congratulations of the guests felt like a surreal performance, a final act in a play you were desperate to escape. You were bruised, emotionally and mentally battered by the relentless onslaught of the past months, but beneath the surface, a core of resilience remained unbroken. The chains, though they had left their mark, were finally, irrevocably severed.
As the polite chatter and forced pleasantries of the departing guests swirled around you, a sense of profound isolation settled in your chest. You longed for the quiet solitude of your own space, away from the judging eyes and hushed whispers. Your fingers instinctively brushed against the small, unassuming business card you had almost forgotten, tucked away in a seldom-used compartment of your elegant clutch. The stark black ink on the crisp white paper was a stark contrast to the pastel hues of the ballroom.
âJeon Wonwoo â CEO, Stellaris Technologies.â A ghost of a wry, almost cynical smile touched your lips. Wonwoo. Your intellectual sparring partner from university, the infuriatingly brilliant mind who had challenged your every assumption, whose sharp wit and relentless drive had both exasperated and secretly impressed you. Your rivalry had been legendary, a constant clash of intellect and ambition across lecture halls and late-night study sessions. He was, without a doubt, the last person on earth you would ever have considered turning to for help.
But as you looked down at that simple card, a flicker of a desperate, audacious idea began to take root in the barren landscape of your despair. He was ruthless, undeniably brilliant, and possessed a strategic mind capable of dissecting complex systems and exploiting their weaknesses with surgical precision.
He was also, you vaguely recalled, known for hisâŠunconventional methods. And right now, dismantling Julian Thorneâs smug, self-satisfied world, piece by calculated piece, was the only prospect that offered you even a sliver of the peace you so desperately craved.
With a newfound resolve hardening your gaze, a spark of something akin to grim determination igniting within you, you slipped the card into the deeper recesses of your pocket. The cool, smooth edge against your fingertips felt like a promise of a different kind of power â the power of retribution, wielded not through tears and pleas, but through strategy and calculated moves.
The chapter of forced obedience and silent suffering was finally, irrevocably closed. The next chapter, you vowed, would be written entirely on your own terms, even if it meant forging an alliance with your most formidable adversary.
The phone felt heavy in your hand, the polished glass a stark contrast to the nervous tremor that ran through your fingers. You stared at the contact name displayed on the screen: "Jeon Wonwoo." It was a name that had been relegated to the dusty corners of your memory, a relic of late-night study sessions fueled by lukewarm coffee and the adrenaline of looming deadlines, heated debates that often devolved into playful (and sometimes not-so-playful) intellectual sparring matches, and a rivalry that had defined your university years.
You hadn't spoken to him in years, not since the somewhat stiff and formal handshake at graduation, when your paths had diverged with a palpable sense of finality, his towards the fiercely competitive world of tech startups and venture capital, yours towards the intricate and equally demanding tapestry of the fashion industry, a world of silk and strategy, of aesthetics and sharp business acumen.
Taking a deep breath, a conscious effort to steady the frantic rhythm of your heart, you pressed the call button. The line rang, each electronic pulse echoing the profound uncertainty that gnawed at your resolve. Finally, after what felt like an agonizingly long wait, a voice, smooth as polished steel and laced with a familiar, almost infuriating hint of intellectual arrogance, answered. "Jeon Wonwoo speaking."
"Wonwoo," you began, your voice surprisingly steady, a testament to years of projecting confidence in high-stakes negotiations, despite the tempest of raw emotion churning within. "It's (Y/N)."
There was a brief pause, a beat of stunned silence that stretched into an unnerving eternity. You could almost hear the gears whirring in his sharp mind, processing the unexpectedness of your call. "Well, this isâŠunexpected, (Y/N). Haven't heard your voice inâŠwhat, five years now? To what do I owe this sudden, nostalgic outreach? Did you finally realize my thesis on neural networks was superior?" His tone was carefully neutral, betraying little, but you could detect a subtle undercurrent of amusement, a ghost of the old competitive spark that had always simmered between you.
You ignored his characteristic jab. "I need your help, Wonwoo." The words felt foreign on your tongue, a humbling admission to the one person who had consistently pushed you to your limits, the one person you had always strived to outsmart.
Another pause, this one heavier, laced with a newfound seriousness. "Help with what, (Y/N)?" His voice lost its playful edge, replaced by a cautious curiosity.
You laid out your proposition, the words tumbling out in a rush, a torrent of pent-up anger, pain, and a desperate need for retribution. You spoke of the calculated betrayal of your marriage to Julian, the cold, clinical nature of your interactions, the forced intimacy that still haunted your sleep, leaving you feeling violated and irrevocably scarred. You detailed the casual cruelty that had chipped away at your self-worth, the subtle manipulations and outright lies that had become the foundation of your life with him.
You then moved on to OmniTech, the seemingly impenetrable fortress of his success, hinting at the intricate web of lies and deceit, the carefully constructed facade of ethical business practices that underpinned its flawless reputation, the whispers you had overheard in hushed boardrooms, the inconsistencies you had noticed but, in your naivete, had dismissed. And then, you made your request, blunt and direct, stripping away any remaining pretense. "I need your help to destroy him, Wonwoo. I need you to dismantle OmniTech, piece by agonizing piece."
There was a longer silence this time, heavy with unspoken implications, the digital connection crackling faintly in your ear. You could almost hear the intricate cogs turning in his brilliant, ruthlessly calculating mind, analyzing the situation, weighing the potential benefits and drawbacks, assessing the sheer audacity of your request. "And why me, (Y/N)?" he finally asked, his voice low and dangerous, a silken threat that sent a shiver down your spine despite the distance. "Why come crawling to your sworn enemy for help? Surely, a woman of your considerable resources has other avenues she could explore. High-powered lawyers, disgruntled former employeesâŠ"
"Because you're the only one who can do it effectively," you admitted, the stark truth echoing in the tense silence of your apartment. "You have the specific skills, the intricate network within the tech world, the understanding of how these corporations truly operate. You have the resources, the intelligence, and theâŠthe ruthlessness necessary to pull something like this off. You understand the intricacies of the tech world in a way I never will, and frankly, in a way that would take me years to even begin to grasp."
Wonwoo chuckled, a low, sardonic sound that sent a different kind of shiver down your spine this time, a prickle of something akin to reluctant admiration mixed with apprehension. "Ruthlessness? You wound me, (Y/N). I prefer to think of it asâŠstrategic efficiency. But I digress. Even if I were inclined to indulge yourâŠvendetta, what makes you think I would risk my own reputation, my own company, to take down a behemoth like OmniTech? What's in it for me? What could you possibly offer that would make it worth my while to go to war with a company the size and influence of Julian Thorne's?"
You had anticipated this, of course. You had spent hours crafting your counter-offer, trying to anticipate his motivations, what could possibly tempt a man who already possessed considerable wealth and power. You offered him a significant percentage of your company's shares, a stake in your rapidly expanding fashion empire. You proposed a substantial sum of money, an amount that would likely raise even his perfectly sculpted eyebrows. You even dangled the prospect of exclusive partnerships and collaborations within the high-stakes world of luxury fashion, connections that could open doors to a different kind of influence, a world beyond algorithms and microprocessors. He listened patiently, a faint air of detached amusement in his tone, and then dismissed each offer with a dismissive wave of his metaphorical hand, a slight curl of his lip indicating his utter disinterest. "I don't need your money, (Y/N). And I certainly don't need a piece of your empire. I have my own, and it's doing quite well, thank you. As for fashionâŠlet's just say my aesthetic leans more towards functional than flamboyant."
There was a beat of silence, the weight of his rejection hanging in the air. You had played your strongest cards, and they had fallen flat. Desperation began to gnaw at the edges of your resolve. "Then what, Wonwoo? What do you want?"
He paused, the silence on the other end of the line stretching taut. When he finally spoke, his voice had dropped to a low, almost conspiratorial murmur. "I want something else, (Y/N). SomethingâŠmore interesting. Something that appeals to myâŠsense of the dramatic."
You waited, your breath held captive in your chest.
"I want you to be my fake girlfriend, (Y/N)."
The words hit you like a physical blow, stealing the air from your lungs. You could only manage a stunned, disbelieving whisper. "What?"
He chuckled softly, a low, knowing sound that sent a shiver down your spine. "A mutually beneficial arrangement," he explained, the smirk practically audible in his tone. "We play the part. Public appearances, carefully staged dinners, strategically leaked photos at clubs, the whole glamorous, scandalous shebang. It'll give me a certain kind of leverage in someâŠongoing business dealings that require a certainâŠpublic image. And it'll give you the perfect, utterly believable cover to execute yourâŠplans without raising suspicion. Everyone will be far too busy dissecting our 'relationship,' speculating on the salacious details, to notice what you're really up to."
You hesitated, the sheer audacity of his proposal leaving you reeling. It was outrageous, bordering on insane. But as the initial shock wore off, a strange, unsettling intrigue began to take hold. It was undeniably clever, a high-stakes gamble that played perfectly into the public's insatiable appetite for scandal. It was a dance with the devil himself, a pact forged in mutual need and a shared, albeit unspoken, desire forâŠsomething beyond mere revenge. "And what exactly happens when thisâŠarrangement is over, Wonwoo?" you asked, your voice tight with a mixture of apprehension and a flicker of something akin to reckless excitement.
"We go our separate ways," he said, his dark eyes, you imagined, glittering with an unreadable emotion, a flicker of something that might have been amusement, or perhaps something far more complex. "No strings attached. No lingering expectations. It's purely business, (Y/N). A transaction of appearances. Think of it asâŠmutually assured destruction for our public images, if either of us deviates from the script."
You considered his offer, the chaotic whirlwind of the past few months suddenly focusing into this one, bizarre, yet undeniably compelling proposition. The thought of Julian's smug downfall, the sweet, intoxicating taste of revenge, was a powerful lure, almost impossible to resist, especially now that a viable, albeit unconventional, path had presented itself. "Fine," you said, your voice firm, a newfound resolve hardening your tone. "Deal."
"Pleasure doing business with you, (Y/N)," Wonwoo's voice held a distinct note of satisfaction. "I'll have my people coordinate our first 'public outing' by the end of the week. Be prepared for the paparazzi."
The line went dead, leaving you staring at the silent phone in your hand. You had just made a deal with your greatest rival, agreeing to a fake relationship as a means to orchestrate the downfall of your ex-husband. The sheer absurdity of it all almost made you laugh. But beneath the surface of the shock and the swirling uncertainty, a seed of grim determination had been planted. The game had begun.
The week that followed your phone call with Wonwoo felt like stepping onto a brightly lit stage, the spotlight unforgiving and every move scrutinized. His "people" â a slick, efficient team you only interacted with via email and carefully scheduled phone briefings â orchestrated your public debut with the precision of a military operation. The first "sighting" was at a newly opened, ultra-exclusive restaurant, the kind where reservations were booked months in advance and privacy was a myth. You arrived separately, a deliberate tactic, only to "coincidentally" meet near the maĂźtre d's stand, the ensuing conversation captured by strategically placed paparazzi.
The photos the next morning were exactly as predicted: you, looking stunningly composed in a sleek black dress, a hint of a smile playing on your lips as you spoke to Wonwoo, who exuded an effortless charm in a tailored suit. The accompanying headlines screamed: "Fashion Mogul Finds New Flame?" and "Tech Titan and Style Queen Spark Romance!" The internet buzzed with speculation, your past marriage relegated to a footnote as everyone focused on this unexpected pairing.
Over the next few weeks, the carefully constructed narrative continued to unfold. There were "intimate" dinners where you and Wonwoo were photographed laughing, a shared box at the opera where his hand briefly rested on your back, a late-night exit from a trendy club, looking slightly disheveled but undeniably together. Each carefully curated appearance fueled the fire, pushing your "relationship" into the realm of scandalous obsession. Julian's name rarely surfaced in the gossip columns anymore, his downfall seemingly old news compared to the sizzling chemistry between you and Wonwoo.
Beneath the veneer of public affection, your interactions with Wonwoo remained strictly business. You met occasionally in neutral locations, his penthouse office a stark, minimalist space overlooking the city, or a quiet corner of a high-end hotel bar. Your conversations were clipped, focused on strategy. He provided you with information, subtle hints of the rot within OmniTech that his own sources had unearthed. You, in turn, played your part flawlessly, the sophisticated and alluring woman captivated by his intellect and power.
Then came the evening at the secluded Italian restaurant, the air thick with the aroma of truffle oil and hushed conversations. You had just returned from a particularly grueling photoshoot, the weight of the public charade beginning to feel heavy. Wonwoo was already seated at your usual table, a glass of amber liquid swirling in his hand. He looked up as you approached, a flicker of something unreadable in his dark eyes.
After the initial pleasantries, a comfortable silence settled between you, a byproduct of the weeks spent navigating this bizarre performance. Then, Wonwoo reached inside his jacket and slid a thin, folded piece of expensive, textured paper across the polished mahogany table. "I've been working on something," he said, his voice low and smug, a hint of predatory satisfaction in his tone. "A littleâŠexpose. Something I think you'll findâŠamusing."
You unfolded the paper he had passed, the crispness of it a stark contrast to the damning content it held. It was the draft of an anonymous article, the prose sharp and incisive, meticulously detailing the shady business practices and deeply unethical dealings that had become the bedrock of OmniTech's success. It spoke of manipulated quarterly reports that had artificially inflated the company's stock price, of aggressive and often illegal tactics used to stifle competition, of the exploitation of overseas labor masked by glossy corporate social responsibility campaigns, and of a series of suspiciously lucrative government contracts secured through means that were, to put it mildly, ethically dubious. The article even hinted at a culture of intimidation within OmniTech, where dissenting voices were swiftly silenced. It painted a devastating portrait of Julian Thorne, not as the visionary leader the public admired, but as a ruthless and manipulative businessman who had built his empire on a foundation of lies and exploitation.
As you read, a cold satisfaction bloomed in your chest. This was more than you had even hoped for. "This isâŠthorough," you commented, your voice low.
Wonwoo leaned back in his chair, a knowing smirk playing on his perfectly sculpted lips. "I pride myself on my thoroughness, (Y/N). Especially when it comes to dismantling my competitionâŠor in this case, yours."
"And the anonymity?" you asked, your eyes scanning the carefully worded paragraphs.
"Crucial," he replied, taking a sip of his drink. "It lends credibility, makes it harder to trace back to a single source. It will plant seeds of doubt, create a groundswell of suspicion that Julian won't be able to easily control." He tapped the paper with a manicured finger. "I'm publishing it online anonymously tomorrow morning, through a source with a decent following and a reputation for investigative journalism. Consider itâŠthe opening salvo in our little war."
The next day, the internet exploded. The anonymous article detonated like a carefully planted bomb, its shockwaves rippling through the financial markets and the court of public opinion. OmniTech's stock plummeted, the red numbers on the ticker screens a stark visual representation of Julian's crumbling empire. Investors, suddenly wary of the exposed underbelly of the company, began to pull out en masse. News outlets, initially hesitant due to OmniTech's powerful legal team, soon picked up the story, the anonymous claims gaining traction as more sources began to corroborate the information. Julian's carefully cultivated reputation, once gleaming and seemingly untouchable, was dragged through the mud of public scrutiny, his denials ringing hollow against the detailed accusations.
You watched the unfolding chaos from the cool, detached distance of your own office, a sense of grim satisfaction washing over you. It was a start, a significant blow that had clearly rattled Julian. That evening, you found yourself back at the same Italian restaurant, the atmosphere subtly different, charged with an unspoken energy.
Wonwoo raised his glass of deep crimson wine as you settled into your seat, the candlelight reflecting in his dark eyes. "To beginnings," he murmured, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
You met his gaze, a silent understanding passing between you. You lifted your own glass, the rich color mirroring the burning desire for justice that still simmered within you. A small, almost imperceptible smile touched your lips.
One down, you thought, the taste of revenge, sharp and intoxicating, sweet on your tongue. More to go.
--
A week after the digital bomb of the anonymous article detonated across Julian's carefully constructed empire, the tension between you and Wonwoo had shifted, a subtle undercurrent of something volatile simmering beneath the surface of your strategic alliance. His text that evening was curt, demanding: "Zenith. Now." The possessiveness, however implied, sent a shiver of something akin to anticipation down your spine.
Club Zenith was a decadent assault on the senses. The bass vibrated through your stilettos, the air thick with the mingled scents of expensive liquor and raw desire, the flashing lights painting the gyrating bodies in fleeting, lurid hues. You spotted Wonwoo in the VIP section, a figure of dark, controlled elegance amidst the vibrant chaos. His gaze, sharp and possessive, locked onto yours as you navigated the crowded space, a silent acknowledgment of your arrival.
The initial conversation was a cool dissection of OmniTech's rapidly unraveling state, a strategic mapping of the next phase of your calculated takedown. But the celebratory edge you had anticipated was absent, replaced by a palpable tension that mirrored the knot in your own stomach. As the night wore on, and the champagne flowed freely, its bubbles mirroring the dizzying swirl of emotions within you, the carefully constructed dam of your composure began to show cracks.
You found yourself leaning closer to Wonwoo, your laughter a little too loud, a little too brittle. The world around you seemed to soften at the edges, the faces in the crowd blurring into indistinct shapes. You knew you were dangerously close to the edge of coherent thought, a state you rarely, if ever, allowed yourself. "I'm perfectly alright," you insisted, your voice carrying a playful slur as Wonwoo's dark eyes narrowed with a hint of concern when you stumbled against his arm. "JustâŠcelebrating our little victory."
Later, the music a primal pulse against your skin, the weight of the past week and the strange intimacy of your current arrangement with Wonwoo coalesced into a potent cocktail of vulnerability and reckless abandon. The memory of Julian's violation, the cold, dehumanizing act that still haunted your quiet moments, resurfaced with brutal clarity, a wave of pain and fury threatening to overwhelm you.
You reached out, your hand finding the smooth, cool silk of Wonwoo's shirt, your fingers clenching, a desperate need for physical connection overriding your usual reserve. Tears welled in your eyes, blurring the sharp lines of his face. You leaned close, your voice a broken whisper against his ear, the confession raw and laced with unshed tears. "HeâŠhe forced himself on me, Wonnie," you choked out, the shame and lingering trauma a bitter taste on your tongue. "He justâŠtook what he wanted. Like I was his property."
Wonwoo went utterly still beside you, the sardonic mask he often wore dissolving, replaced by a stark, almost violent intensity. His jaw tightened, a muscle in his cheek twitching rhythmically. The hand not cradling his drink clenched into a white-knuckled fist. He didn't speak, but the air around him vibrated with a silent, furious protectiveness that resonated deep within you.
He gently steered you away from the throng, his hand surprisingly firm on the small of your back, guiding you to a more secluded corner of the booth. He didn't offer empty platitudes. He simply sat beside you, his presence a dark, solid anchor in your swirling emotions. He didn't touch you further, but the heat of his gaze, the barely leashed anger radiating off him, felt strangelyâŠcathartic.
Then, fueled by the alcohol and a sudden, audacious impulse, you turned to him, your hand finding the sharp angle of his jaw, your thumb tracing the faint stubble. You tilted his face towards yours, your gaze locking with his dark, unreadable eyes, and pressed a slow, deliberate kiss to the corner of his lips. You lingered there for a breath, tasting the faint trace of whiskey, before trailing a languid series of kisses down the sensitive curve of his neck, inhaling the intoxicating blend of his expensive cologne and his own unique scent.
Finally, you reached his mouth, your lips parting slightly as you pressed against his, a silent invitation. You pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, your own eyes heavy-lidded, a blatant challenge in their depths. "Kiss me back, Wonnie," you whispered, the alcohol stripping away every last vestige of your usual carefully constructed composure. "Show me what you really think when you look at me. Please."
For a heartbeat, he remained frozen, his expression a turbulent mix of surprise, something akin to reluctant desire warring with his usual guardedness. Then, with a low growl that seemed to emanate from deep within his chest, he gave in. His lips met yours, the initial contact hesitant, then deepening with a sudden, almost desperate intensity. His hand, which had been hovering near your waist, now snaked around your back, pulling you closer until there was no space left between you. The kiss was no longer tentative; it was charged, electric, a raw exploration of the unspoken tension that had been simmering between you. Your own hands found their way to his hair, your fingers tangling in the dark strands, pulling him closer, demanding more.
But just as the kiss threatened to escalate into something far more consuming, your eyelids grew heavy, the alcohol finally claiming its due. You mumbled something against his lips, a slurred, provocative whisper. "ThatâŠcocky look you getâŠ" you murmured, your fingers tightening their grip on the fabric of his shirt, a sleepy, undeniably suggestive smile curving your lips. "It'sâŠsurprisinglyâŠdoing things to meâŠ..like turning me on even while we are on the verge of a damn argument" And then, you were gone, your head lolling against his broad shoulder, the world fading into a soft, black oblivion, the taste of whiskey and Wonwoo lingering on your lips.
Wonwoo watched you, his expression a fascinating study in conflicting emotions â disbelief warring with a dark, possessive hunger, amusement battling a tenderness he likely wouldn't admit to. He carefully scooped you up in his arms, his movements surprisingly gentle despite his imposing frame. He navigated the crowded club with an air of quiet authority, the bouncers clearing a path with respectful nods.
He carried you to your apartment after driving there, the city lights a blurry kaleidoscope through your unconscious vision. He used the keycard you had somehow managed to produce, his movements surprisingly deft despite the late hour and your dead weight. He laid you gently on your bed, his gaze lingering on your flushed face, a strange possessiveness flickering in his dark eyes before he pulled the soft covers over you. As he turned to leave, a hand, surprisingly strong despite your inebriated state, snaked out and gripped his wrist, pulling him back with unexpected force.
You were barely conscious, your eyes fluttering open like a drowsy invitation, but your grip was surprisingly tenacious. You tugged, and he lost his balance, a surprised grunt escaping his lips as he tumbled onto the bed beside you. Before he could fully process the situation, you had instinctively curled into him, your limbs tangling together with a shocking intimacy. Your head nestled perfectly in the crook of his neck, your breath warm and soft against his skin, your body molding against his with a familiarity that belied the briefness of yourâŠinteractions.
He lay there for a long, suspended moment, stiff and utterly still, the unexpected intimacy a palpable force in the dimly lit room. Then, with a sigh that seemed to carry a weight of both resignation and a dark, undeniable desire, he adjusted his position, his arm instinctively wrapping around your waist, pulling you closer as if claiming you in your unconscious state.
--
The next morning, you woke slowly, a dull, insistent throb behind your eyes and fragmented, intensely mortifying memories of the previous nightâs brazen behavior. You were tangled in the soft duvet, and something warm, solid, and undeniably masculine was pressed intimately against your back. You shifted slightly, a low, husky groan rumbling beside you.
Your eyes snapped open, your breath catching in your throat. Jeon Wonwoo was lying next to you, his dark hair adorably tousled against the pillow, his sharp features softened in sleep. His arm was draped possessively across your waist, his hand resting low on your hip, his fingers splayed intimately against your skin. Your leg was thrown casually over his, and your hand was buried in the soft fabric of his expensive shirt, dangerously close to his bare chest.
A gasp escaped your lips, and you instinctively tried to pull away, a wave of mortification washing over you, hot and suffocating. Wonwoo stirred, his dark eyes fluttering open, still clouded with sleep. "Don't move," he mumbled, his voice a low, delicious rasp that sent an unexpected shiver down your spine. His grip on your waist tightened almost unconsciously, pulling you closer against his warm, undeniably hard body.
Your heart hammered against your ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the backdrop of your racing thoughts and the lingering sensations of his lips on yours, your hands on his body. The vivid memories of your drunken boldness, your blatant come-ons, flooded your consciousness. The intimacy of the present moment, the tangible evidence of your utterly uninhibited behavior, was overwhelming, mortifying, and yetâŠa tiny, rebellious part of you couldn't deny a flicker of something akin toâŠsatisfaction?
Finally, Wonwoo's eyes fully focused, and a flicker of surprise, quickly masked by a cool, almost detached composure, crossed his face. He slowly, reluctantly, released his grip and backed away, creating a sudden, charged space between you. A strange tension, thick with unspoken words, lingering sensations, and the undeniable aftermath of your drunken boldness, filled the small room.
You scrambled out of bed, your cheeks burning with a heat that had nothing to do with the lingering effects of the alcohol. You mumbled a hasty, incoherent apology, avoiding his gaze, and practically fled to the sanctuary of the bathroom, the vivid image of his sleepy, rumpled form, the possessive way he had held you, and the memory of your own shockingly forward actions, seared into your mind.
When you finally emerged, dressed in a robe that felt more like a shield than clothing, the apartment was silent. Wonwoo was gone. On your bedside table, however, sat a tall glass of water, a blister pack of high-strength hangover relief tablets, and a small, folded note.
You picked it up, your fingers trembling slightly despite your attempts to appear composed. The handwriting was sharp and angular, undeniably his, and surprisingly elegant. It simply read: "Drink these. Don't mention last night, you talk a lot when you are drunk. - JW."
You stared at the stark black ink on the crisp white paper. A small, unexpected flutter stirred in your chest, a sensation entirely unfamiliar, a feeling that defied logic and your carefully constructed defenses. It was a confusing mix of embarrassment, a lingering thrill from your own boldness, and a surprising warmth directed towards the man who had witnessed your most vulnerable and perhaps most uninhibited self. Your heart, it seemed, had a penchant for the dramatic, capable of the most inconvenient and unexpected of reactions.
The following days were a blur of news reports and online outrage. A second anonymous article had dropped, this one far more insidious and personal. It detailed numerous previously unreported cases of harassment and discrimination within OmniTech, painting a toxic work environment fostered by Julian's own dismissive attitude towards employee well-being and, more damningly, implicating him directly in silencing several victims. The article included leaked internal emails and anonymous testimonies that painted a horrifying picture of fear and abuse.
The fallout was swift and brutal. Major deals that OmniTech had been on the verge of closing evaporated overnight. Investors, already skittish after the initial financial exposé, fled in droves. The carefully constructed image of a progressive, innovative tech giant shattered completely, revealing a rotten core of systemic abuse. Julian's public denials were weak and unconvincing against the weight of the mounting evidence. His empire, once seemingly invincible, was crumbling with terrifying speed.
That night, a frantic, insistent pounding echoed through your apartment. A hopeful smile touched your lips as you hurried to the door, your heart inexplicably lighter than it had been in months. You had grown accustomed to Wonwoo's unexpected appearances, his silent check-ins, the unspoken understanding that had developed between you. You peered through the peephole, your smile widening in anticipation⊠only to freeze, the blood turning to ice in your veins.
It wasn't Wonwoo. It was Julian. His face was contorted with a furious desperation, his eyes wild and bloodshot. Before you could react, before you could even think to lock the deadbolt, he was hammering on the door again, yelling your name, his voice laced with a manic edge.
Terror seized you. You stumbled back, your breath catching in your throat. He knew where you lived. He was here.
Suddenly, the flimsy barrier of the door shuddered under a violent kick. The lock splintered, and the door flew inward, crashing against the wall. Julian stood in the doorway, a dark, menacing figure silhouetted against the hallway light.
"You!" he roared, his eyes locking onto you with a venomous glare. "This is your fault! You and thatâŠthat snake Wonwoo!"
Before you could speak, before you could even scream, he lunged at you, his hands grasping your arms with brutal force. He shoved you back against the wall, the impact knocking the air from your lungs. His face was inches from yours, his breath hot and reeking of desperation and alcohol.
"You think you can ruin me?" he snarled, his grip tightening until you cried out in pain. "You think you can get away with this?"
Panic clawed at your throat. You struggled, kicking and pushing against him, but he was stronger, fueled by rage and a terrifying sense of entitlement. He pinned you against the wall, his body pressing against yours, the familiar, sickening feeling of violation washing over you.
"Please," you choked out, tears streaming down your face. "JustâŠleave me alone."
"Leave you alone?" he spat, his voice thick with fury. "You destroyed everything! You think you can just walk away after what you've done?" He leaned closer, his words a disgusting whisper against your ear. "You were always useless. Couldn't even give me a child. Now you'll pay for it."
His hands moved, and a fresh wave of terror washed over you. You screamed, a raw, desperate sound that tore through the quiet of your apartment building, you knew no matter how hard you tried its always a man's physical power winning against the women in most of the casses. "Help! Someone, please help!"
Just as his touch became unbearable, the doorframe behind him exploded inward with a deafening crash. A figure filled the doorway, silhouetted against the dim hallway light, radiating a raw, incandescent fury.
It was Wonwoo.
His eyes, dark and blazing, locked onto the scene before him. The carefully cultivated coolness he usually exuded was gone, replaced by a primal rage that was terrifying to behold. With a guttural roar, he launched himself at Julian, yanking him off you with a force that sent your ex-husband stumbling backward.
What followed was a brutal, visceral display of fury. Wonwoo, his face a mask of pure rage, rained down blows on Julian, each punch landing with sickening force. You watched in stunned silence, tears still streaming down your face, as your tormentor was finally met with a force that matched his own brutality. You had never seen Wonwoo like this, this raw, untamed fury a stark contrast to his usual controlled demeanor.
The sounds of the struggle were brutal â grunts, curses, the sickening thud of fists against flesh. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the sounds subsided. Julian lay on the floor, bruised and bleeding, whimpering in pain. Wonwoo stood over him, his chest heaving, his knuckles raw.
The sound of sirens grew closer, their wail piercing the tense silence of your apartment. Moments later, the police burst through the shattered door, their weapons drawn. Wonwoo, his rage slowly receding, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
As the officers moved to apprehend Julian, Wonwoo turned to you, his eyes softening with a raw concern that mirrored your own shattered state. He rushed to you, his arms wrapping around you in a tight, protective embrace. You clung to him, your body trembling uncontrollably, the sobs finally wracking your frame.
"Why didn't you call me?" he murmured against your hair, his voice thick with a mixture of anger and worry. "I told youâŠyou could always call me."
You buried your face in his chest, the familiar scent of his cologne a strange comfort amidst the lingering stench of Julian's desperation. "IâŠI thought it was you at the door," you choked out, your voice barely a whisper.
"Shhh," he soothed, holding you tighter. "It's over now. He can't hurt you anymore."
You clung to him, the reality of what had just happened slowly sinking in. Your body ached, your spirit bruised, but in Wonwoo's arms, for the first time in what felt like an eternity, a fragile seed of safety began to sprout.
"Thank you," you mumbled, the words inadequate to express the wave of gratitude and a burgeoning, unexpected emotion that washed over you. Your heart ached with the fresh trauma, but at the same time, a strange sense of healing had begun. You no longer saw Wonwoo as just an enemy, a rival, or a co-conspirator. You saw him as the man who had burst through the door, a furious protector, your rescuer in the darkest of moments.
Closing your eyes, you leaned further into his embrace, the steady beat of his heart a grounding rhythm against your ear. For the first time in a long time, surrounded by the wreckage of your shattered door and the lingering echoes of violence, you found a fleeting moment of fragile peace in the unexpected safety of Jeon Wonwoo's arms.
--
Three weeks had passed since the harrowing night at your apartment. The physical bruises had faded, but the emotional scars were still tender, a constant reminder of Julian's violation. Wonwoo had been a silent, steady presence in the aftermath. He hadn't pushed, hadn't pried, but he had been there, a quiet strength you found yourself increasingly relying on. The fake relationship had morphed into somethingâŠmore. The lines between business and something far more personal had blurred, a consequence of shared trauma and unexpected acts of fierce protectiveness.
-
One afternoon, a text message from Wonwoo appeared on your phone: "Client meeting at the City Art Museum next Thursday. Accompany me?" It was phrased as a request, but there was an underlying expectation, a comfortable assumption that you would agree. And you did.
Thursday arrived, and you found yourself standing before the museum, the grand facade a stark contrast to the nervous flutter in your stomach. You had chosen a wine-red dress, the rich color a bold statement, the elegant cut accentuating your figure. You had taken extra care with your hair and makeup, a renewed sense of confidence blooming within you, a defiant refusal to let Julian's actions define you.
As you stepped inside, you spotted Wonwoo near a Rodin sculpture, engaged in conversation with a distinguished-looking older gentleman. He hadn't seen you yet. You took a moment to simply watch him, the way his dark hair fell across his forehead, the intensity in his gaze as he spoke, the subtle authority in his posture. A warmth spread through you, a feeling entirely new and unexpectedly tender.
Then, his eyes lifted, catching yours across the crowded gallery. A flicker of surprise, quickly followed by something that looked suspiciously likeâŠawe, crossed his features. He literally paused mid-sentence, a slight choke in his voice as he finished his thought. He recovered quickly, a practiced coolness returning to his expression as he excused himself from his client and walked towards you.
"You lookâŠ" he began, his usual smooth delivery faltering for a fraction of a second, his eyes lingering on the curve of your neck exposed by the dress. He cleared his throat. "âŠappropriately dressed for an appreciation of fine art." It was a classic Wonwoo deflection, but you caught the genuine admiration that had flashed in his eyes.
As Wonwoo resumed his conversation with his client, you wandered through the museum, losing yourself in the brushstrokes of a Monet, the stark lines of a Picasso. You found a quiet corner admiring a collection of contemporary sculptures when a man approached you, his smile a little too wide, his eyes lingering a little too long.
He started a conversation, his tone overtly flirtatious, complimenting your dress, your eyes, his words dripping with a practiced charm that felt instantly insincere. You offered polite, brief responses, subtly trying to disengage, but he persisted, his compliments becoming increasingly bold. A familiar unease began to settle in your stomach.
Just as you were formulating a more direct way to excuse yourself, you felt a warm, possessive hand settle on your waist, pulling you gently against a familiar solid form. Wonwoo was suddenly beside you, his arm a firm, undeniable claim around your waist. He turned to the flustered man, his usual cool demeanor firmly in place, but with an underlying edge that sent a clear message. "Excuse us," he said, his voice smooth but with a hint of steel. "She's taken."
The man, clearly recognizing Wonwoo, stammered an apology and quickly retreated. You turned to Wonwoo, a teasing smile playing on your lips. "Possessive, are we?"
He shrugged, his arm still firmly around your waist, his gaze lingering on your face. "You lookedâŠuncomfortable." His tone was casual, but the possessive grip on your waist spoke volumes. The air between you thickened, the unspoken tension simmering just beneath the surface.
The next eight months passed in a blur of shared moments, both public and private. The "fake relationship" had taken on a life of its own, evolving into something undeniably real. The tabloids still followed your every move, fascinated by the unlikely pairing, but the scrutiny felt less invasive now, more like background noise to the genuine connection that had blossomed between you and Wonwoo. You shared quiet dinners, late-night conversations that stretched into the early hours, comfortable silences that spoke volumes. He was still Wonwoo â brilliant, sharp-witted, occasionally infuriatingly cocky â but you had also seen his fierce protectiveness, his unexpected tenderness, the vulnerability he rarely showed.
-
The day of your Paris fashion show arrived, a culmination of months of relentless work. The Grand Palais buzzed with anticipation, the air thick with the scent of expensive perfume and nervous energy. You scanned the crowd from the stage, a familiar wave of pre-show jitters washing over you. You looked for Wonwoo, a small part of you hoping to catch his eye, even though he had explicitly told you that a crucial, unavoidable meeting would keep him away. A pang of disappointment, quickly masked by professional composure, tightened in your chest.
Your speech went smoothly, your voice confident as you presented your latest collection to the discerning eyes of the fashion world. The applause was enthusiastic, the reviews promising. But as you walked backstage, the adrenaline slowly fading, a wave of quiet disappointment washed over you. He hadn't been there.
Suddenly, as you turned a corner in the bustling backstage area, a hand clamped over your mouth, and another pinned your hands playfully above your head, effectively trapping you against the cool wall. A familiar, husky voice whispered in your ear, laced with a teasing arrogance that sent a thrill through you. "Someone missed me?"
Your heart leaped. You knew that voice. You smiled beneath his hand, relief and a surge of unexpected joy flooding through you. You nodded enthusiastically against his palm. His hands released yours, sliding down to cup your face, his thumbs gently stroking your cheeks. You turned in his arms, your gaze meeting his dark, smiling eyes. Without a word, you reached up and kissed him, a rush of pure happiness bubbling up inside you.
He grinned against your lips, a flash of his signature cockiness. "Missed me that much, huh?" He pulled back slightly, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Be ready by seven tonight, ma créatrice." He winked, a promise of something special in his gaze, and then, just as suddenly as he had appeared, he slipped away, leaving you breathless and grinning like a fool in the middle of the backstage chaos.
You shook your head fondly, a warmth spreading through you that had nothing to do with the Parisian air. Your earlier disappointment vanished, replaced by a giddy anticipation. Seven o'clock in Paris with Wonwoo? You had a feeling tonight would be anything but ordinary. You rushed to get ready, your mind already racing with possibilities.
A sleek, black car pulled up to your hotel, the Parisian twilight casting long shadows across the cobblestone street. The driver door opened, and Wonwoo emerged, looking impossibly handsome in a dark suit that accentuated his sharp features. His eyes held a playful glint as he approached you, a soft, silk blindfold dangling from his fingers.
"Ready for your Parisian adventure, ma belle?" he asked, his voice a low murmur that sent a shiver down your spine.
You raised a curious eyebrow. "Adventure? Or are you finally going to reveal your secret life as a notorious art thief?"
He chuckled, a deep, resonant sound. "Only one way to find out." He gently reached out, and you tilted your head, allowing him to tie the blindfold securely, plunging you into darkness.
As he guided you into the car, your playful banter continued. "You're not planning on taking me to some secret underground catacomb, are you? Because I am not dressed for subterranean exploration."
"Relax, mon amour," he replied, his voice laced with amusement. "Though the thought of you in the catacombsâŠintriguing. But tonight's destination is a little moreâŠelevated."
The drive was filled with your teasing questions and his deliberately vague answers. "Are you going to kill me, Wonwoo? Is this some elaborate revenge plot for all those times I beat you in debate club?"
He squeezed your thigh reassuringly, his touch lingering for a moment longer than necessary. "Darling, if I were going to kill you, it would be far more creative than a simple car ride. Besides," his voice dropped to a husky whisper, "I have far more interesting plans for you tonight."
The squeeze on your thigh, however brief, sent a jolt of anticipation through you, effectively silencing your playful accusations. You settled back in your seat, a sense of excitement bubbling beneath the surface of your blindfolded anticipation.
The car finally came to a stop. You could hear the muffled sounds of the city, the distant hum of traffic, but there was a different quality to the air here, a sense of vastness. Wonwoo carefully guided you out of the car, his hand firm on your elbow. You could feel the cool night air against your skin, a gentle breeze whispering around you.
He led you slowly, the sound of your heels clicking softly on what felt like stone. You could sense a change in elevation, a gradual upward climb. "Wonwoo, where are we going?" you asked, your curiosity reaching its peak. "This is straight out of a horror movie. Are there chains involved?"
He chuckled again, a warm sound close to your ear. "Patience, mon cĆur. The grand reveal is almost upon us."
The ascent continued, the air growing thinner, the city sounds fading into a distant murmur. Finally, Wonwoo stopped. "Alright, ma voleuse," he whispered, his breath warm against your temple. "Prepare to be amazed."
His fingers gently untied the knot of the blindfold. As the darkness receded, your eyes struggled to adjust to the breathtaking panorama that unfolded before you. You were high above the city, the sprawling lights of Paris twinkling like a million scattered diamonds. The Eiffel Tower stretched majestically above and below you, its intricate ironwork illuminated against the vibrant canvas of the sunset. Hues of fiery orange, soft pink, and deep violet painted the sky, a breathtaking masterpiece that stole your breath away.
You were speechless, your earlier playful banter completely forgotten. "Oh," was all you could manage, your voice filled with awe. "Oh, Wonwoo⊠it's⊠not murder, at least. It's beautiful."
There was no response. Confused, you turned to look at him, your heart suddenly pounding in your chest. And there he was, bathed in the soft glow of the Parisian twilight, down on one knee. In his outstretched hand, a small, velvet box lay open, revealing a stunning platinum ring, a delicate yet substantial band set with a single, brilliant-cut diamond that caught the fading light.
Your breath hitched. You felt a wave of shock, disbelief, and an overwhelming surge of emotion wash over you. You could only stare, your mind struggling to process the reality of the moment.
Wonwoo's gaze was intense, his dark eyes filled with a vulnerability you had never seen before. He took a deep breath, his voice slightly husky as he began to speak. "From the moment I first saw you in that ridiculously oversized 'Intro to Philosophy' class, arguing passionately about existentialism⊠I was captivated. You were brilliant, fiery, infuriating⊠everything I never knew I wanted."
He continued, his voice gaining strength as he confessed the long-held secret of his heart. "All those years in university, the constant rivalry, the need to challenge you, to spar with you intellectually⊠it wasn't just competition, (Y/N). It was the only way I knew how to keep you close, to keep you talking to me. I was too arrogant, too afraid to admit how deeply I felt."
He paused, his eyes searching yours. "Even after⊠after your marriage to that⊠that man," his voice hardened with a flicker of the old fury, "I couldn't let go of the memory of you, the fire in your eyes. Pretending to just want to destroy him⊠it was partly true, but mostly it was about clearing the path back to you."
He took another deep breath, his gaze unwavering. "So, (Y/N) (Your Last Name), my brilliant, beautiful, fiercely independent thief⊠may I be yours completely? May I finally stop pretending and love you, truly and without reservation?"
"Thief?" you asked, a shaky laugh escaping your lips, tears welling in your eyes.
A genuine, heart-melting grin spread across his face. "Yeah. You stole my heart years ago, remember? You've been holding onto it ever since."
More tears spilled down your cheeks, but this time, they were tears of pure, unadulterated joy. You took a moment to gather yourself, your heart overflowing with a love you hadn't fully realized until this moment. "Fine," you managed, your voice thick with emotion. "Be my Mr. (Your Last Name)." You watched him, a playful glint in your tear-filled eyes.
He stood up, his gaze never leaving yours. "I don't mind having your last name," he shrugged, a hint of his old cockiness returning, but softened with pure adoration.
You giggled, wiping away a stray tear. "Though⊠I rather prefer yours after mine."
His grin widened, and he reached out, cupping your face in his hands, his thumbs gently stroking your cheeks. "Take whatever you want then⊠my thief."
And then, with the breathtaking panorama of the glowing city stretching out beneath them, Wonwoo kissed you deeply, a kiss that spoke of years of unspoken feelings, of shared battles and unexpected tenderness, of a future finally, beautifully, beginning. The cool Parisian air was filled with the warmth of their embrace, a promise of a love that had weathered storms and blossomed in the most unexpected of circumstances. Your heart, finally safe in his keeping, soared with a joy that illuminated the Parisian night even brighter than the city lights below.
-- The End <3

an: hey guys heres part 2, anyways i hope u enjoy! <3
You slammed the door to your car, the sound of your boots hitting the ground with your ever confident stride filled the air. You were determined to finish this case and get justice once in for all. Justice for the murder of your former partner, colleague, your close friend.
You were in complete hysteria when you found out the death of your long-term partner, Hyunjin. Unresolved, you made it your duty and mission to find Hyunjinâs murderer, and you know it starts here. After endless research, you found it. Mr. Yang, the mastermind of a crime syndicate running illegal underground fights. It was previously Hyunjinâs case, before they killed him. After being advised multiple times by the police department to let higher-ups handle it; the very own department you and Hyunjin worked for years, you continued on with the case solo regardless. It was only a matter of time before they found out. You will find the murderer and avenge Hyunjin. Itâs a must.
With every breath you let out, it vaporized into the freezing wind. The anger you felt, finally coming so close to catching the murderer, warmed your skin. You wore a big black leather jacket over your black hoodie, which was propped over your head to not bring attention to you. And finally, you walked into the run-down building.
The dim glow of the boxing gymâs fluorescent lights flickered overhead, casting long shadows over the empty ring. The scent of sweat and leather lingered in the air as Jungwon pounded his fists into the heavy bag, each strike landing with a satisfying thud. The rhythmic sound filled the otherwise silent space, save for the occasional shuffle of his feet against the worn-out mats.
It was lateâtoo late for anyone else to be here. Just how he liked it. No distractions, no expectations. Just him, his gloves, and the fight ahead.
Or so he thought.
The gym doors burst open with a sharp bang, the force of the entry sending them swinging against the walls. Jungwon froze mid-punch, his head snapping toward the disturbance. You stood in the doorway, the neon âOPEN 24 HOURSâ sign flickering behind you, casting a faint blue glow against your sharp alluring features.
You are immensely stunningâthough the deadly glint in your dark eyes made it clear you arenât here for small talk. Walking with your hands stuffed into your jacketâs pockets, you carried an air of authority, but no badge in sight.
No uniform. No backup.
Jungwon wiped the sweat off his brow with the back of his hand and exhaled, âGymâs closed.â
You ignored him. In a flash, you reached behind your jacket, pulled out a folded document, and tossed it onto the gym floor between you both. It landed with a crisp slap, the bold lettering of WARRANT FOR QUESTIONING staring up at him.
Jungwon raised an eyebrow, amusingly, âYou couldâve just asked nicely.â
You stepped forward, your boots echoing against the floor, âShut it, youâre coming with me.â
Your voice was smooth but edged with something sharpâsomething personal. Jungwon exhaled through his nose, glancing between you and the warrant.
âWhat exactly am i being accused of?â
âIllegal underground fights. Money laundering. Possible ties to the Black Dragon Syndicate,â You stated, analyzing his undeniably handsome face.
God, not to mention the look of his bodyâŠ
Jungwon let out a short laugh, shaking his head, âYouâve got the wrong guy.â
âMaybe,â you tilted your head, eyes locked onto his like you were waiting for him to slip up, âMaybe not. Either way, I have questions.â
Jungwonâs eyes trailed down your body, sensing something was off, âWhereâs your badge?â
You raised your head defiantly, âI donât need one.â
Liar.
Jungwon had been in enough situations to recognize when someone was playing outside the rules. And judging by the way your fingers twitched at your sidesâlike you are itching for a fightâthis wasnât just a routine questioning. This was personal. And he could read right through your pretty face.
âI see,â he mused, stepping out of the ring.
He smirked, âYouâre not supposed to be here, are you?â
Your expression remained unreadable, âIâm here because your name keeps coming up in places it shouldnât.â
âOr because you need answers youâre not getting through official channels.â
The flicker in your gaze told him he was right. Something dark coiled in his chest. He didnât know what you were looking for, but if you are this desperate, you are dangerous. Maybe not to himânot yetâbut to yourself.
Before he could think too hard on it, you moved.
Fast.
In one swift motion, you grabbed his wrist, yanking it behind his back with expert precision. Jungwon twisted out of your grip just as quickly, breaking free and stepping back.
You lunged again, and he dodged, catching your wrist before you could land a hit.
you were skilledâhe could feel it in the way your muscles tensed, the way you adjusted your weight in a split second, ready to counter his next move. But so was he.
You both clashed, a flurry of movement and near-misses, neither fully committing to hurting the other but neither backing down.
Then, you changed the rhythm. Instead of another strike, you feintedâjust enough for him to reactâbefore sweeping his legs out from under him.
Jungwon hit the mat with a grunt. Before he could push himself up, you pointed a gun at him, your other hand held a pair of cuffs.
He looked up at you, lips still curled in amusement despite the fact that youâve just floored him, âWoah, pretty, thats a dangerous toy you have there. Letâs put it down, yeah?â
You leaned down, voice low and firm, âThis isnât a game, Jungwon.â
Your mask had crackedâjust a littleâbut enough for him to see it now. The anger simmering just beneath your calm exterior.
Jungwonâs smirk softened, âWho are you really after?â
Your eyebrows furrowed, âStop acting. I know itâs you whoâs been behind all of this.â
"I already said you have the wrong guy."
âActually,â you murmured, reaching into your jacket pocket.
Jungwon barely had time to register the movement before you pulled out a sleek black USB drive, holding it between your fingers like a loaded gun.
His stomach twisted.
âRecognize this?â you asked, your voice quieter now, but no less sharp.
Jungwon kept his expression neutral, âShould I?â
You smirked, but there was no humor in it, "You should. Because I know exactly whatâs on it.â
He clenched his jaw. He didnât know what kind of information you had or how you got itâbut if you were confident enough to use it against him, it couldnât be good.
âHereâs how this is going to work,â you continued, stepping closer.
âYouâre going to help me find the real culprit. The person responsible for all of this mess. And in returnâŠâ you twirled the USB between your fingers.
âThis stays between us.â
Jungwon exhaled slowly, his mind racing. He could fight you on this. He could try to get away, call you bluff. But something told him you wouldnât have come here without leverage you were willing to use and he just had too much to be guilty for to risk it.
So instead, he met your gaze, tilting his head slightly, âBlackmailing me, Detective?â
âCall it⊠an incentive," you shrugged.
He let the silence stretch between you both before finally giving you a small amused chuckle, âAlright, Iâll play along.â
You nodded, pocketing the USB again.
âGood,â you murmured, âThen letâs get to work.â
Jungwon sat in the passenger seat of your car, his body lazily slugged into the seat, his legs propped open. The soft hum of the engine filled the silence between you, the glow of streetlights casting fleeting shadows across his face as you sped down the empty roads.
He rolled his wrist as he played with the hem of the long bandages on his hands, "So, where are we going, Detective? Or do I not get that privilege?â
You kept your eyes on the road, your grip steady on the wheel, âWeâre going to talk somewhere private.â
Jungwon smirked, tilting his head slightly, âCareful, that almost sounded like a date.â
You shot him a glare, âAre you always this shameless?â
Jungwon chuckled under his breath, his dimples showcasing his handsome face frustratingly, watching you from the corner of his eye. Now that he was sitting this close, he could see itâthe exhaustion hidden beneath your sharp exterior. The tightness in your jaw, the way your shoulders never fully relaxed, as if you were constantly bracing for a fight.
Whatever you were after, it wasnât just about justice. It was personal. He knew that. He looked out to the window.
"You never did tell me whatâs on that USB.â
You remained silent for a moment, your fingers tightening slightly around the wheel. Then, you said, âEnough to ruin you.â
Jungwon whistled, âThat bad, huh?â
âI donât make threats I canât back up.â
âFair enough.â He studied you, curiosity growing, âBut if you had enough to âruin me,â as you say, why not just use it? Why drag me into this?â
You exhaled through your nose in irritation, âBecause youâre useful.â
Jungwon raised an eyebrow, âAnd here I thought you just wanted my charming company.â
You didnât take the bait.
âMy partner was murdered,â you said, your voice even, controlled.
âThe higher-ups donât want me on the case. They shut me out, told me to move on. But I know thereâs more to this.â
Jungwon leaned forward slightly, intrigued despite himself, âAnd you think I can help becauseâŠ?â
You hesitated. Just for a second.
âThe Black Dragon Syndicate has connections to underground fights,â you admitted.
âI have reason to believe my partnerâs killer is tied to them. And you?â you finally glanced at him, your gaze cutting.
âYou may not be dirty, but youâre close enough to their world. Close enough to get me where I need to be.â
Jungwon considered your words carefully.
He wasnât stupidâgetting involved in something like this could destroy his career, his life. But then again⊠you weren't wrong. He knew people. He knew how the underground worked, how fighters got tangled up in things bigger than they could handle.
He sighed, running a hand through his hair. âAlright, Detective. Iâll do what I can, but after that, we're done.â
âOkay.â
âBut,â he added, smirking, âif Iâm doing this, we do it my way. Youâre good, but you donât know their world like I do.â
You arched an eyebrow, âAnd what exactly is your way?â
Jungwon leaned back again, his smirk deepening, âWe start with a fight.â
You pulled the car into an abandoned lot behind an old warehouse, the headlights cutting through the thick mist rolling in from the docks. The place looked empty, but Jungwon knew better. This wasnât just some random stopâYou brought him here for a reason.
He leaned forward, glancing around, âLet me guess. This is where you try to get me killed?â
You shut off the engine and unbuckled your seatbelt, âThat depends on how cooperative you are.â
Jungwon looked down, a genuine smile plastered across his face.
And God, those dimples your heart can never get used to.
âYou really know how to make a guy feel special, Detective.â
Ignoring him, you stepped out of the car. He followed, stuffing his hands in his jacket pockets as the cool night air settled around you.
you turned to face him, your expression unreadable, âIf weâre doing this, I need you to prove youâre not just going to slow me down.â
Jungwon tilted his head, intrigued, âWhat, you want me to do push-ups or something?â
Your lips twitchedâalmost like you wanted to smirkâbut you didnât. Instead, you nodded toward the warehouse.
âThereâs a fight happening inside. Illegal, no official records, all cash bets. Itâs run by a middleman for the Black Dragon Syndicate.â
Jungwon frowned, âAnd you want me to fight?â
âNo,â you closed the distance between both of you, âI want you to win.â
Jungwon's eyebrows furrow, he looks down at you, âYou realize if I step into that ring, I blow my cover, right? I have a reputation to keep.â
âThen donât lose.â
Jungwon studied you carefully, searching for any hesitation in your eyes. There was none. Your faces only mere inches apart. And although it was freezing outside, you can't help but to feel like you're burning up.
âYou really are insane, arenât you?â
You look away, trying to calm your rapid heartbeat, âYou said we do this your way, Jungwon. This is your world. You know the rules. If I walk in there alone, I get nothing. But if you fightâif you winâyou get me a seat at the table.â
âThese people know me. They know what I can do. I donât need to prove myself.â
âI know," You nodded, âall you have to do is get me close to the right people.â
Jungwon exhaled, irritated, leaning closer towards you, âYouâre asking me to put everything on the line.â
You held his gaze, defiantly, âAnd Iâm putting everything on the line, too.â
For a moment, neither of you spoke. You held your gazes, faces so close it made your hands clench. The distant echoes of voices from inside the warehouse filled the silence between you, the weight of what you both were about to do settling in. The tension palpable.
Then, finally, Jungwon smirked.
âFine,â he said, walking past you, "Try to keep up, Detective. The moment we step inside, youâre in my world now.â
Jungwon led the way toward the warehouse, his steps unhurried, confidentâlike he owned the place. In a way, he did. His name carried weight in the underground. He didnât need an invitation, didnât need to sneak in through the back. Wherever there was a fight, Jungwon was welcomed. Respected. Feared.
You walked beside him, your sharp eyes scanning everything. Light on your feet, your guard completely up. Your presence just as commanding, but in an entirely different way. You are strikingâundeniably so. Even in the dim, grungy surroundings, you turned heads. It wasnât just your beauty; it was the way you carried yourself without needing to show much skin. The lethal grace in your movements. The sharp glint in your eyes that warned people you are no easy target.
Jungwon noticed, too. But unlike the others, he wasnât staring in admirationâhe was entertained. Curious.
"Didnât peg you for the type to blend in," he murmured, amusement lacing his tone.
You didn't even glance his way, "And I didnât peg you for the type to care."
You were used to itâbeing looked at, admired, but so underrestimated. It didnât faze you. You were too busy to care about anything other than your mission, too uninterested in wasting time falling in love. After all, you had your fair share with men and saw glimpses of how disappointing they could be.
As you reached the entrance, a heavyset bouncer stepped forward, arms crossed over his chest. His gaze flickered from Jungwon to you, eyes narrowing.
âDidnât expect to see you back so soon,â he grunted, âYou fighting tonight?â
Jungwon smirked, âMaybe. Just here for business.â
The bouncerâs eyes shifted to you, âAnd her?â
Jungwon didnât hesitate. He threw an arm around your shoulders, a smug grin tugging at his lips, âSheâs with me.â
You barely resisted the urge to elbow him in the ribs. Instead, you turned your head slightly, giving him a mocking smile and a sharp glare which practically threatened, Touch me again, and Iâll break your wrist.
He returned a cocky smile.
He looked at Jungwon, smirking, âDidnât think you were the type to settle down.â
Jungwon chuckled, âWho said anything about settling?â
His tone was playful, but you caught the knowing glint in his eyes. He was enjoying this too much. His comment irked you. You move away from him.
Finally, he stepped aside, jerking his head toward the entrance, âTry not to get blood on the floors.â
Jungwon shrugged, following behind you towards the entrance, âNo promises.â
The moment you stepped inside, the air changed. The heat of bodies packed together, the metallic scent of sweat and blood, the roar of the crowd as fists met fleshâit was intoxicating.
You took it all in, your sharp gaze flicking from the ring in the center of the room to the men gathered around it, placing bets with wads of cash. The underground fights werenât just brutalâthey were a business. A business with deep ties to the Black Dragon Syndicate.
Jungwon leaned toward you, his voice low, âWelcome to the underworld, Detective.â
You ignored him, scanning the crowd, âWho do we need to talk to?â
Jungwon followed your gaze, spotting a familiar figure near the betting table.
âThere. See the guy in the gray suit? Thatâs Kang Min-sik. He handles the syndicateâs financesâthe bets, the payouts, the money laundering.â
You nodded. âThen heâs our way in.â
Jungwon chuckled, âSlow down, pretty. You canât just walk up to him and start asking questions.â
You turned to him, crossing her arms, "Then what do you suggest?â
Jungwon glanced at the ring, where the current fight was wrapping up. The crowd was hungry for more, the energy in the room electric. His smirk widened.
âWe make an entrance.â
Before you could question him, he stepped toward the announcerâs booth, his voice carrying over the noise, âIâm fighting.â
The announcer, a wiry man with a scar over his brow, lit up at the sight of him, âJungwon! You sure? Last time you nearly put a man in a coma.â
Jungwon just grinned, âThen letâs see if anyone else wants to take the risk.â
The crowd erupted into cheers, and just like that, the stage was set.
You clenched your jaw. You had come here for information, not a spectacle. But as Jungwon stepped toward the ring, rolling his shoulders, your realized something.
Jungwon wasnât just fighting for show.
He was sending a message.
And every man in this roomâincluding Kang Min-sikâwas about to hear it loud and clear.
You stood at the edge of the ring, arms crossed, watching Jungwon like a hawk. You told yourself you weren't impressed. That you didnât care about his reputation or the way the entire room seemed to gravitate toward him. Or the small anxiousness of him getting hurt.
But when Jungwon stepped into the ringâthe lights casting shadows over the sharp angles of his faceâyou felt something stir.
The crowd roared as his opponent climbed in, a towering brute covered in tattoos. A challenger who clearly thought Jungwon was just another name to add to his kill count.
Jungwon didnât flinch. Didnât waver. He only smirked, the same infuriating confidence he always carried, but now it felt different. Like he was proving somethingâto you.
The bell rang.
The brute charged, swinging a punch meant to take Jungwonâs head off.
But Jungwon was faster. He dodged, fluid and effortless, his movements precise. He ducked under the next swing, landed a brutal counterpunch to the ribs. The punch echoed through the warehouse, and the brute staggered back, gasping.
Your eyes flickered. He was playing with him.
You should have looked away. Should have focused on the mission.
But you didnât.
Because watching Jungwon fight was like watching something untamedâdangerous but mesmerizing. There was no wasted movement, no hesitation. He was completely in control.
Another punch. A ruthless uppercut. The brute collapsed, unconscious before he hit the ground.
The warehouse erupted in chaos, cheers shaking the walls.
Jungwon turned, searching the crowd, and when his eyes landed on youâhe smirked.
You scoffed, arms tightening over your chest, âShow-off.â
He climbed out of the ring, walking toward you, sweat glistening on his skin, knuckles bruised, lip busted, and a few cuts.
âAdmit it, you were impressed.â
You rolled your eyes. âIâve seen better.â
Jungwon smiled, âLiar.â
Before you could snap back, a new presence approached. Kang Min-sik, the man you had come here for, was watching Jungwon with a knowing smile.
âStill undefeated, I see,â Kang mused. His gaze flickered to you, âAnd whoâs this?â
Jungwon wiped blood from his knuckles, glancing at you. For a split second, his expression softened, âSomeone who needs answers.â
You stepped forward, meeting Kangâs eyes without fear, âAnd I think youâre going to give them to me.â
Kang laughed, but there was something calculating in his gaze, âWell, now Iâm curious. Letâs talk.â
Jungwon leaned in close to your ear, his voice barely above a whisper, âTry not to get us both killed, alright pretty?â
Your eyes met, and for the first time, a genuine laugh escaped your lips. He faltered for a moment before falling into a smile.
"Sure."
You both followed Kang Min-sik through a dimly lit hallway behind the main warehouse, the muffled roars of the crowd fading into the background. The scent of old smoke and sweat clung to the walls, but you kept your focus sharp. This was the moment you had been waiting for.
Kang led you both into a small, lavishly furnished officeâa stark contrast to the grunge of the underground fights. A leather couch, expensive whiskey bottles lining the shelves, and a single desk where he took his seat, gesturing for you to do the same.
Jungwon leaned against the wall instead, arms crossed, while you remained standing, you sharp gaze locked onto Kang.
"So," Kang began, swirling the amber liquid in his glass, "what exactly is it that you need from me?"
"My partner was murdered. I have reason to believe the Black Dragon Syndicate was involved. I need names. Connections. Anything you know."
Kang chuckled, shaking his head, "Bold. You storm in here with a notorious fighter at your side and expect me to just hand over information? What makes you think Iâd betray my own?"
You didnât blink, "Because youâre not loyal to anyone but money, and Iâm willing to make it worth your while."
Kang raised an eyebrow, intrigued, but before he could respond, Jungwon stepped forward.
"Careful, doll," he murmured, "Men like him donât just take money. They take leverage."
Kang smirked, "Smart man."
You had known walking into this that Kang wouldnât just hand you what you wanted. But you also knew you couldnât walk away empty-handed.
Jungwon sighed, "Alright. Letâs make it simple. Sheâs not a cop anymore. Sheâs working for herself. And I vouch for her."
Kang's gaze flicked to Jungwon, "You vouch for her?"
Jungwon hesitated for a brief second before nodding, "Yeah. I do."
you turned to him, surprise flickering in your eyes.
Kang hummed, studying you both, then leaned back, "Interesting."
He tapped his fingers against the desk, "I might have something. But if you want it, thereâs a price."
you expected that much, "Name it."
Kangâs lips curled, "A job. Thereâs a man the syndicate needs⊠dealt with. Not killed, just taught a lesson. Someone who thinks he can run from his debts. You two take care of it, and Iâll tell you what I know."
you immediately stiffened, "I donât do dirty work for criminals."
Kang shrugged, "Then you donât get your information."
You clenched your fists, your pulse spiking with frustration.
Before you could speak, Jungwon let out a slow exhale, "Weâll do it."
you snapped your head toward him in disbelief.
Jungwon met your gaze, You want answers? This is how we get them.
Kang grinned, "I like you, Jungwon. It's not easy to find a reasonable man who knows how to get something he wants."
You bit back a curse, shooting Jungwon a glare. You wanted to fight him on thisâwanted to push backâbut you knew he was right. You were already deep in this. There was no easy way out.
Kang slid a slip of paper across the desk, "Thereâs the details. Handle it cleanly, and Iâll give you your lead."
Jungwon took the paper. Turning on your heel, you stormed toward the door. Jungwon followed you, but before he stepped out, Kang called after him.
"Youâre playing a dangerous game, Jungwon. Does he know you're doing this?" he tilted his head. Jungwon looks towards your direction, no sign of you.
"I hope you know what youâre doing," he continues.
Jungwon smirked to himself before walking out, "Wouldnât be fun otherwise."
Jungwon caught up to you, his footsteps deliberate. You spun around, shoving Jungwon against the car with surprising force.
"What the hell was that?" you hissed.
Jungwon, still pinned against the metal, raised an amused brow, "That was me getting you what you wanted. I was expecting a 'Thank you,' but sure, this works fine, pretty."
You glared up at him, your body close enough to feel the heat radiating off of him, "You donât get to make deals for me."
Jungwon rolled his eyes, "And yet, here we are."
You hated how calm he was. Hated the way he looked at youâlike you were some reckless fool who didnât know how to play the game.
"I can't stand you already," you said, voice low.
Jungwon leaned in slightly, his breath warm against your ear, "Likewise, detective."
For a moment, the anger between you shifted into something elseâsomething charged, electric.
Then you stepped back, snatching the paper from his hands, "Fine. But if you screw this up, Iâll be the one teaching you a lesson."
Jungwon grinned, "Now thatâs a fight Iâd actually look forward to."
Later, you both headed to a motel for the night. You knew it was only a matter of time before you were chased down and hunted. You needed to stay on the low. You changed into more comfortable clothes, waiting for Jungwon to step out of the shower. You sat at the couch, enjoying a cup of ramen. After a while, he showed up. He took a seat next to you, grabbing your cup of ramen and taking a bite. You furrowed your eyebrows, annoyed.
"Heyâ"
You stopped at the sight of his busted lip and other injuries. Your face softened a bit. You sighed, mindlessly grabbing his hand to examine his knuckles. He freezes, looking at you as your fingers brush over his knuckles.
"This looks pretty bad. I'll treat your wounds. Stay right here," You stand up before he could protest.
You come back with the kit, sitting in front of him. You clear your throat, reaching for his hand.
"You don't have to do this, It's nothing serious," He protests.
"Just shut up," you scold.
You're slow and careful with his wounds, the sound of your breathing and Jungwon's soft groans in pain filling the silence. Then, you work your way to his face. You apply ointment to his cuts, softly blowing onto it. You lean closer to his face, treating his busted lip. You look up to meet his gaze, wavering a moment. You both look away and you pack everything up.
"Thanks," he mumbles.
"We should get some sleep. We have a lot of things to do," you suggest.
He nods.
"I'll sleep on the couch," he says, getting comfortable on it.
"Why not on the bed?" You asked.
"There's only one," He replied.
"So?" you raised an eyebrow at his uncharacteristic shy behavior, "I don't care whether or not you're on it."
He blinks, dumbfounded.
You walk into the room, making your way on it. He walks in, slowly making his way under the covers. Once settled, you turn the lamp off on the nightstand. Only the moonlight from the windows illuminates the bedroom.
You shift in bed, finding a comfortable position. You lay on your side, your eyes closed. You hear Jungwon shifting too, before it going all silent. Only the soft sounds of breathing can be heard.
"By the way," he broke the silence softly, "you never told me your name."
You open your eyes. You immediately find his eyes, him laying towards you. Your breath hitched.
"Y/n," you confessed softly, "My name is y/n."
There's a small moment of silence, staring at each other's faces under the moonlight.
"Y/n," he whispers your name tenderly.
You swear you've never loved the way you've heard your name be said before until now. Your favorite sound. Like it was meant for him to be said. Never sounded so correct, so right.
You woke to warmth. It took you a second to remember where you wereâthe dimly lit motel room, the scratchy motel sheets, the faint hum of traffic outside. But what startled you the most wasnât the unfamiliarity of the room. It was the arm draped over your waist.
Jungwon.
your breath hitched as you realized how close he was, his body pressed lightly against yours, his warmth seeping through the thin barrier of fabric between you both. His breathing was slow, steady, still deep in sleep. You stiffened. You should move. You needed to move.
But for some reason, you hesitated. You couldnât. You didnât want to.
Jungwon, the man who drove you insane, the notorious fighter with an irritatingly charming smile and dimples to die for, felt⊠different like this. Vulnerable. At peace.
Heâs still a criminal, you reminded yourself. A fighter who plays by no rules but his own.
But lying there, feeling the slow rise and fall of his chest, it was hard to see him as just that.
your movement must have disturbed him because, within seconds, his grip tightened slightly before his breathing shifted. He stirred, his body tensing as he slowly became aware of your positions.
And then, you heard the smirk in his voice before you even turned to look at him. Your face burned up in embarrassment.
âWhen you said you didnât care about me being in bed beside you, i didnât think it meant to this extent, detective,â he teased.
Your face burned as you shoved his arm off and sat up, scowling at him, âYou were the one holding onto me!â
Jungwon stretched lazily, completely unfazed, âI was asleep. You, on the other hand, let it happen.â
Your glare could have melted steel, âI was asleep, you idiot.â
He smiled, sitting up as well, his blonde hair tousled in a way that made him look ridiculously attractive. It was infuriating.
âRelax, Y/n,â he said, voice still husky from sleep, âYou were having a nightmare, shifting in your sleep uncomfortably and it didnât stop until you were close.â
Your face softened.
âOhâŠthanks,â you mumbled, before yanking the blanket off and standing up.
Jungwon laughed, low and amused, but he didnât push it further. Instead, he ran a hand through his hair and sighed. âAlright, alright. So, whatâs the plan?â
You grabbed your jacket, forcing yourself to focus, âWe find Kang Min-sikâs target, deal with him cleanly, and get our information. And after that?â
you turned to face him, your expression serious, âIâll let you go.â
Jungwon held your gaze for a long moment, something unreadable flickering in his dark eyes.
But then he gave a small smile, âSure, Detective. Whatever you say.â
And for some reason, you had a sinking feeling that it wouldnât be that simple.
The morning air was crisp as you stepped out of the motel, the scent of rain still lingering from the night before. You walked ahead, your mind sharp despite the exhaustion weighing down on you.
Jungwon followed, his hands tucked into his jacket pockets.
âYouâre quiet,â he noted.
You didnât look at him, âJust thinking.â
âAbout how much you enjoyed waking up next to me?â he teased.
You shot him a glare, âAbout how Iâm going to break your nose if you donât focus.â
Jungwon chuckled, âYouâre the cutest when mad.â
The target Kang Min-sik had given you was a man named Park Sung-ho, a mid-level bookie who had been skimming money off the syndicate. He wasnât dangerousânot in the way true criminals wereâbut he had crossed the wrong people.
And now, you had to decide how far you were willing to go for the information you needed.
you found him in a rundown cafĂ© on the outskirts of the city, hunched over a newspaper with a half-finished cup of coffee in front of him. He looked harmlessâjust a man trying to disappear.
you exhaled, âThis feels wrong.â
Jungwon leaned against the wall, watching you, âYou knew what this was when you agreed to it.â
âI agreed to handle him, not do the syndicateâs dirty work,â you turned to him, your voice firm.
âWeâre not going to hurt him,â you warned.
He reached over to move a hair strand from your face. Jungwon studied you for a second, then smirked, âGuess Iâll have to be the scary one, then.â
Before you could react, Jungwon strolled forward and casually slid into the seat across from Sung-ho. The man tensed immediately, his fingers tightening around his cup.
âIâm not looking for trouble,â Sung-ho muttered.
Jungwon tilted his head, âThatâs the problem, isnât it? Troubleâs looking for you.â
Sung-ho swallowed hard, âListen, I donât have the moneyââ
Jungwon leaned forward, his voice dropping into something low and lethal, âWeâre not here for your money. Weâre here to give you a message.â
You watched, arms crossed, as Jungwonâs entire demeanor shifted. This wasnât the reckless fighter you had been dealing with. This was someone else. Someone who knew exactly how to make a man sweat. And youâd be lying if this wasnât doing something to you in strange ways.
Sung-ho paled, âPlease⊠I have a family.â
Jungwonâs expression didnât change, but his fingers tapped once against the table, âThen you shouldâve thought about that before stealing from people who donât forgive.â
You exhaled sharply and stepped forward, placing a hand on Jungwonâs shoulder.
âThatâs enough,â you said, your voice softer than before. Jungwon glanced up at you, something flickering in his gaze.
But after a moment, he leaned back and sighed, âLucky you. The detective here has a soft spot for people like you.â
Sung-ho looked between you and Jungwon, eyes wide.
you pulled out a piece of paper and slid it across the table, âYou disappear. Tonight. Take your family and leave the country. If the syndicate finds you again, we wonât be able to stop them.â
Sung-ho hesitated, then grabbed the paper. His hands trembled, âThank you.â
You didnât respond. You simply turned and walked out, Jungwon following behind you.
Once you were back on the street, he whistled, sulking.
âDidnât take you for the merciful type. Iâm starting to think youâre just nice to any man who isnât me,â he shoved his hands in his pockets, kicking the rocks on the floor.
You shot him a look, confused, âAnd I didnât take you for the type to play the villain so well.â
Jungwon shrugged, âIâm full of surprises.â
âoh, yeah?â you tried to meet his avoidant gaze.
was heâŠmad?
You walked in silence for a moment before he glanced at you again, âYou know Kangâs not going to like this, right?â
you exhaled, âI donât care what Kang likes. He gave us a job, and itâs done.â
Jungwon stared at you for a moment before breaking into a soft smile, âGod, youâre stubborn.â
You couldnât help but smile at the sight of his dimples, âYouâre just figuring that out?â
His smile widened, but there was something different in his expression this time. Something closer to admiration.
As you made your way back to Kang Min-sik, you couldnât ignore the shift between you both. The line between enemies and allies was already beginning to blur. And that was dangerous.
By the time you both returned to Kang Min-sikâs hideout, the air between you and Jungwon had changed. It wasnât just the usual tension anymoreâit was something heavier, something unspoken.
Kang was lounging in his leather chair when you walked in, a glass of whiskey in hand. He didnât even bother looking up right away, his attention focused on the flickering television in the corner. When he finally did acknowledge you, it was with a slow, lazy smirk.
âYouâre back early,â he mused, swirling the drink in his glass. âThat means one of two thingsâeither the job went smooth, or you decided to get creative.â
You crossed your arms, âThe job is done.â
Kang arched a brow, glancing at Jungwon, âIs that so?â
Jungwon shrugged, all casual arrogance, âThe guy got the message loud and clear. He wonât be a problem anymore.â
Kang studied you both for a long moment, tapping his fingers against the desk.
âFunny,â he murmured, âBecause I heard a different story.â
Your spine stiffened. You should have known Kang would have eyes everywhere.
âI hear,â Kang continued, âthat instead of teaching him a lesson, you let him go. Gave him a nice little escape route.â
He titled his head, âis that true?â
You held his gaze without flinching, âYou wanted him dealt with. Heâs gone. Thatâs all that matters.â
Kangâs smirk faded. âNo, sweetheart. Thatâs not all that matters.â
Before you could react, one of Kangâs men moved. A blur of motionâfaster than you expected. A blade flashed, aiming straight for your throat.
But Jungwon was faster.
In an instant, he grabbed the manâs wrist, twisting it sharply. The knife clattered to the floor, and before the attacker could react, Jungwon drove his fist into his ribs. The man doubled over with a pained grunt.
The room went still. The sound of liquid trickling onto the floor filled the room. You looked over to Jungwon, his palm was dripping in blood from the huge slit he got from the knife.
Your heart pounded, but your expression remained stone-cold.
Kang let out a slow exhale, standing up. âImpressive,â he murmured, âYouâve still got it, Jungwon.â
Jungwon glanced at his hand like he wasnât affected, âYou knew what you were getting when you asked for my help.â
Kang chuckled, but his amusement didnât reach his eyes. âYeah. I did.â He glanced at you, âAnd you, detectiveâI shouldâve known youâd pull something like this.â
You lifted your chin, âAre you giving us our information or not?â
Kang studied you for a long moment before finally sighing, âYouâve got guts. Iâll give you that.â
He turned, grabbing a folder from his desk and tossing it toward you.
You caught it.
âThereâs your lead,â Kang said. âBut Iâd watch my back if I were you. You made a lot of people unhappy today.â
You didnât respond. You simply opened the folder, scanning the contents. Names, addresses, connectionsâpieces of the puzzle you had been chasing.
You looked up at Jungwon, who had gone unusually quiet. His jaw was tight, his fists still clenched.
whatâs up with him?
âWeâre done here,â you said, turning to leave.
But before you could step out, Kangâs voice stopped you.
âOne last thing.â
You turned back.
Kang smirked, âYou two make an interesting pair. Almost as if you trust in each other. Thatâs too bad.â
You furrowed your eyebrows but neither of you responded.
Kangâs smirk widened, âCareful with that. Trust is dangerous in this world. Especially when you think you have the other person all figured out.â
The night air was cold when you stepped out of the building, but you barely felt it. You clutched the folder tightly, your mind racing with the information inside. Jungwon was speeding ahead of you, you walked faster to catch up.
âJungwon, wait! whatâs up with you?â you called out to him.
Jungwon exhaled sharply beside you, âThat couldâve gone worse.â
You examined him, âBut it didnât.â
He let out a low chuckle, anger plastered on his face, âYouâve got a bad habit of pissing off dangerous people.â
Trying to deescalate the situation, you smirked playfully, âYouâre one of them.â
Jungwon turned to you, something unreadable in his expression. âYeah,â he murmured, âI guess I am.â
He kept walking, your face fell to a frown. You held your breath. You grabbed his hand.
âWhatâs wrong with you!â
âNothing!â he shouted.
Your eyes glanced down at the blood smudging on your hands as you hold his.
You shook your head, âthis wonât do. Letâs go back to the motel to treat your wound.â
Before you could move, he yanked his hand from your grip.
âI donât need your help,â he murmured, stuffing his hands in his jacket pockets.
Your eyebrows furrowed.
âAnyway, you have your leads and clues now, so this is over,â he locks eyes with you.
âThis isnât over. We havenât even found the real culprit yet!â
âYou can handle yourself perfectly fine!â He retorted.
âStopâŠdragging me into this mess more than you have. Because of this, word is probably out about me being involved in this. Everything is on the line. My career. My reputation. Everything,â he continues, stepping closer to you.
The thought of being so close to finding out the long-awaited truth just for him to back out is killing you. Youâre so close yet so far. And as much as you know you can handle yourself, you wouldnât have gone this far without Jungwon. And you hated the thought of relying on him more than you thought you would.
âJungwon,â you reached out for him, âI still need you. Please, weâre so close.â
Jungwonâs eyes flickered in something unreadable. He stepped impossibly closer to you. You could feel his heat radiating off him.
âDonâtâŠsay stuff like that,â he fumed, âI canât stand it. I canât stand you a second longer.â
You looked up at him, meeting his gaze. With all the anger and confusion that went through your veins, you let impulsivity take ahold of you.
âGod I hate you so much, Jungwon,â you hissed, before leaning in to kiss him.
A million bolts of adrenaline fired up within you, sighing against the kiss.
Jungwon took his hands out of his pocket, cupping your face with his bloody hands to deepen the kiss. His response was urgent, desperate, and yet so tender. You both forgot how to breathe, too focused on your lips on each other to worry about taking a single break from tasting each other.
And then, finally, you broke away to catch your breath. Small pants came from one another, processing what just happened. Jungwon leaned in almost immediately after breathing to give you small and slow pecks onto your lips, refusing to be away from you. You smiled against the kisses, trying to move away but he locked you against him with his arm around your waist.
âJungwon, stop it. Letâs go treat your wounds, okay?â
âOkay, but iâll drive,â he stated, grabbing the keys from your pockets.
The moment the door shut closed behind Jungwon, he quickly captured your lips. Caught off guard, you stumbled back against the wall, a soft thud in result. You softly groaned against his lips, grasping onto his shirt. Jungwons hands travel down to your waist, his fingers sliding under your shirt to touch your bare skin. Your heart fluttered at the sudden contact. The kiss was now sloppy, hot, and desperate. He lifted you against him without breaking the kiss. You wrapped your arms around his neck. He blindly carried you to the bedroom, softly laying you on top of the bed. You sat up slightly, going further into the bed.
You felt like prey, the look in his eyes eliciting a lewd response from you. He took off his jacket before his shirt, he crawled slowly onto the bed. Eyeing you down dangerously. He hovered over you, kissing you slowly. He tugged at your shirt before helping you take it off. You tossed it aside along with the other clothes. He left hot wet kisses along your neck, trailing down to your chest. His big hands wandered across your body, resting to cup your breasts slowly. He sucks and bites the skin of your neck and collarbone before leaving more love bites onto your breasts. You let out small airy moans, gripping onto his hair. He unclasped your bra, tossing it aside.
He kisses you once more, âYouâre so beautiful, itâs driving me insane.â
Your hands slowly glide against his bare chest, feeling him as he sucks onto the sensitive buds of your breasts. A warm pulse between your legs becoming gradually unbearable.
He pulls away, playing with the hem of your pants. You nod, allowing him to slide it off. You shyly tighten your legs together, embarrassed of how damp your panties are from the arousal. As if he couldnât get any harder, the sight of you under him, wet just for him, made his cock ache. He forcefully pulled your legs apart before settling in between them. He leaned over to kiss you, hungrily. His bulge rubbing against you, creating torturous friction. You moaned, your hips subconsciously bucking up to feel more of him. He groaned against the kiss, his cock begging to be released from his tight pants.
âJungwon, please,â you tugged onto his pants.
âPlease what, y/n?â He teased, slowly grinding his hips into you.
âStop fucking teasing,âyou replied, becoming frustrated by the second.
He smiled before quickly standing up to unbuckle his belt and slid what was left of him off. Your eyes swallow the sight of him whole. He slowly pulls off your wet panties down your legs. He leaves a trail of wet kisses down your stomach. Finally, he envelops your clit into his mouth. The sensation rushed right through your body, causing a yelp in pleasure to escape from you. You reach out to him, gripping onto him as he savors you. Lewd wet sounds fill the room.
âoh, fuckâoh, JungwonâŠâ you moaned, biting your lip in hopes to keep quiet.
He pulls away, aligning his twitching cock between your wet folds. He rubs it in a bit, slow and deliberate.
you groan, âI canât wait any longerâŠâ
âWhat was that, detective? Couldnât hear youâŠâ he taunted.
âoh, you assholâ!â you argued, but quickly cut yourself off with a moan at the feeling of Jungwon pushing himself into you.
You felt like you were being filled up. So full.
He was slow, gentle, yet unforgiving.
Once all the way in, he leaned over to give you a sloppy kiss.
âDoes it hurt?â he asked.
You shake your head, softly whining at the stuffed feeling.
He smirked, pulling his hips back before pushing back in. He moved slowly at first, waiting till you adjusted to him. His face flinched in pleasure, your tight grip onto his cock driving him crazy. He cursed under his breath, picking up his pace. He threw one leg over his shoulder, wrapping his arm around it to secure. His hips snapped against yours, hitting spots deep within you. You moaned loudly, gripping onto the sheets beneath you in ecstasy.
âfuckâŠyouâre taking me so good, pretty,â he whispered, admiring your fucked-out face.
âso pretty, just like this,â he continued, pressing a hand on your lower stomach, feeling where his cock thrusted within you.
âoh myâmhm,â you choked out, your mouth falling agape at the overwhelming sensation.
He let go of your leg, towering over you in missionary. He used his arm for support, kissing you tenderly. He left soft kisses onto your neck and jawline as he continued to thrust into you. The sound of leather jackets hitting the ground and lewd sounds filling the room.
âNot so bossy now, are you, detective?â he laughed, his voice coarse and airy.
âI still hate yoâ!â you attempted to argue, but instantly failed at the feeling of Jungwon going deeperâfaster.
âShut up and take my cock,â he groaned, fisting your hair before slightly pulling your head back.
Your eyes rolled back, digging your nails onto his back. You clenched around him, approaching your high.
âSo fucking pretty, my cockdrunk slut,â he grunted, his eyes locking with yours.
You stared back into his, feeling a knot begin to form in your stomach. It was all to intimateâtoo much to handle, yet neither of you could look away. Too scared as if to lose this special moment, this undeniable connection.
You cupped his cheek, glancing at his lips. Jungwon leaned in, kissing you lovingly.
âMâgonna cum,â you whined against his lips, wrapping your legs tighter around him.
âMe too,â he exhaled.
He quickened his pace, cursing under his breath. Finally, you let out one last yelp in pleasure, shaking violently against him as you reached your high. His cock twitched shortly after, filling you up entirely. He moaned your name like small prayers, thrusting a few more times to ride out the high. Then, he drops beside you. Sweating and panting, you both close your eyes and catch your breath. Lying on his stomach, he opens his eyes to face you. He meets your softly asleep expression and the way your chest rose and fell. He smiles to himself, finding it cute how fast you fell asleep. He reached to push out a strand of your hair from your face delicately, mesmerizing by your beauty. Wholeheartedly, just you. He loved the sound of your soft breathing, the smell of your hair, the warmth of your touch, and how perfectly you fit right in his arms. Like you were meant to be there for him. Just for him.
He scoot closer, wrapping you in his arms gently. You stirred softly in your sleep before snuggling up into his warm chest. He smiled, looking at you shift for a comfortable position. He analyzed your face until his eyes became heavy. He kissed your forehead before falling into a deep sleep of his own.
The next day, you hadnât realized how long you fell asleep for. Your eyes flickered open at the stinging sensation of the sun. You looked around gently, finding yourself entangled in Jungwons arms. Your eyes widen as memories of the previous night flashed before your eyes. You freeze as he softly stirs in his sleep, groaning. Once itâs safe, you carefully and slowly manage to release yourself from his grip. You tip-toed across the room, picking up your pants from the floor. You hurriedly put them on, as you rushed down the hallway.
âCrazy,â you whispered to yourself scoldingly, âyou mustâve gone crazy, Y/n!â
You threw on his jacket and put your shoes on before grabbing the keys from the table. You made yourself outside the motel, turning on the car. You sit there, recalling every single touch given to each other. You could still feel his lips on your body, his big and warm hands gripping onto your ass, and how broad his back felt as you scratched onto it. You groaned, resting your head onto the steering wheel in frustration.
How were you supposed to face him now? What is there to say after that?
You know you should ignore it, disregard it as a moment of weakness and desire, but you know itâs far much more than that. At least for you.
Jungwon reached out for you absentmindedly, only to be meet with a cold, empty, spot. He quickly sat up, looking around the room. Your clothes werenât on the floor, the door was opened, and no sound of you. His eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
âY/n?â he called out, putting on his pants.
No response.
He walked into the hallway, opening the bathroom door to check.
no one there.
He went into the living room, then the kitchen. He finally pieced it together. But then, the front door opened. He whipped his head around to catch your figure.
You held a plastic bag from the store and a nervous expression.
You tossed the keys onto the table.
âY-youâre upâŠâ you broke the suffocating silence.
You focused your attention onto the materials in the bag, trying to ignore his piercing gazeâand his unusual silence.
You took out the bandages and alcohol solution to treat his wounds.
âThese are for youâŠwe didnât get to treat it yesterday so Iââ You froze at Jungwonâs lips onto yours.
He cupped your face, pressing his body up against you. You lose your balance, your back hitting the wall. You softly moan against his lips, attempting to push him away but he deepens the kiss. You stop fighting it, gripping onto him tightly as you close your eyes and melt into him.
You break the kiss to catch your breath, your gazes meet. He glances down at your swollen lips. He leans in again, as if trying to devour you whole. You stop him, signaling to the table.
âLetâs get your wound treated first,â you swallowed, âplease.â
âfine,â he mumbled, plopping himself onto the chair.
You let out a shaky exhale, sitting down in front of him. You open the contents, treating his wound delicately. His face would flinch here and there, but no sound. Jungwon observed you intently, as if watching an art piece. He couldnât help it, and it frustrated him so much. He glanced down at his jacket youâre wearing. A small smiled crept onto his face, a prideful feeling in his chest arising at the sight of it.
You looked at his direction, realizing youâre wearing his jacket.
âOh, iâm sorryâŠI grabbed the nearest jacket and i didnât notice it was yoursâŠâ
âI donât mind. It suits you better,â he smirked.
You blinked, dumbfounded.
After you finished treating his wound, you got up.
âWe should get some days to restâŠIâve found the place and time that will lead us to Mr. Yang.â
He stiffened a bit before nodding.
You told yourself it would be the first and last time, that the first time was just a mistake, that you found him annoying, and that you couldnât stand him.
Yet, you found yourself for the next few days in his arms over and over again, his lips worshiping your body, and his cock deep within you.
You both argue, fight, but end up making love to each other at the end of the day. It was a predictable, frustrating, routine. One which you both felt frustrated by but couldnât change even if you wanted to. Because you both knew; you liked this more than you expressed.
And tonight, was just another one of those moments.
ânghâŠfuck, Jungwon,â you moaned, riding his cock on the living room couch.
He looked up at you with his half-lidded gaze, immersed into the pleasure you gave him. His strong arms rested onto your ass, gripping and pulling it towards his cock every now and then.
âfuck, pretty, just like that,â he groaned, throwing his head back.
You bounced on his cock, your breasts mimicking your movement. Your moans became more persistent as you felt your orgasm approach. The room was filled with heavy breathing and the sound of skin. You were so adjusted to him, that he could easily slide in and out from you. It drove him crazy.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, kissing him sloppily. He returned the kiss almost immediately, locking you tightly against him with one arms around your waist and the other up your back. And then, he thrusted upward, forcing you to take every single each of him.
You yelped in pleasure, gripping onto his shoulder for support.
âYou can take it, baby,â he cooed, watching your mouth fall agape.
You nodded insistently, biting back curses. Tears swelled the corner of your eyes, the pleasure becoming more and more intense.
âJungwon IâmâŠâ You cried out, digging your nails into his skin.
âI know, baby,â he moaned, âyouâre taking me so fucking goodâŠâ
A ring of your cream built around his shaft, his cock glistening from how wet you are.
He slapped your ass harshly, leaving a permanent mark onto it. You whimpered, digging your nails into his shoulders. You clenched around him, his twitching cock begging for release.
And then, with a final thrust, you both come undone. He groans your name before coating your velvet walls with warmth. You shook vigorously, falling onto him in exhaustion. Panting, he welcomes you in his arms, embracing you.
You stirred softly in your sleep, slowly opening your eyes at the light of your phone turning on. You looked around, careful to not wake up Jungwonâwho was sleeping peacefully in your arms. You felt a warm feeling in your heart at the sight of him. You reached for your phone from the nightstand. Your eyes gazed over the message from an unknown number.
âFind the phone booth.â
The neon glow of the city flickered in the rain-soaked streets as you paced outside the dingy motel. You made your way inside the phone booth, just outside your motel room. You pressed the ringing phone to your ear. Static crackled on the other end before a voiceâgruff and familiarâcut through.
âYouâre in over your head, Detective."
Your grip on the phone tightened, âThen why donât you tell me what Iâm missing?"
A long pause.
âMr. Yang. Heâs a ghost. You wonât find him unless he wants to be found.â
"Good thing I make a habit of pissing off men like him,â you stated.
"And thatâs exactly why youâre about to get yourself killed."
You exhaled sharply, rubbing a hand over your face, âI donât have time for riddles. My partner is dead, and Iâm going to find out who put the bullet in his headâ"
"Then stop looking where you shouldnât."
Your face twitched, "What the hell does that mean?"
âSee that key on top of the phone box? Take it to the mailbox. Go alone. AndâŠâ he warned, âDonât show Jungwon.â
âWhat? why?â
The line went dead.
You lowered the phone, unease twisting in your gut. Something wasnât adding up. Someone was playing you, nudging you closer to the edge of a trap you couldnât see.
And the worst part?
You had a sinking feeling that Jungwon knew more than he was telling you.
You turned, heading to motelâs unit mailboxes. You opened the corresponding box with the key. Your hands trembled as you pulled the white envelope out, labeled with red pen âY/N.â
You opened it to reveal various photos.
But, they werenât just photos. They were surveillance footage snapshots of Jungwon.
The days and time leading to the murder and of the murder. At the same place of the crime scene.
Your blood runs cold and you feel yourself sick. You swallow hard, ignoring the familiar sting in your eyes and ache in your heart. But most of all, the boiling coursing through your veins.
No, this couldnât be. Jungwon wouldnâtâŠ?
Why was he there? Has he been lying to you this whole time? stringing you along?
The weight of the realization crushed you. You looked over at the glistening fire pit inside a metal can. You threw the pictures in. You made your way back inside. As you walked down the hallway, you felt sicker and sicker.
What does those photos mean? why should I trust him? Should I confront him? What should I even do?
You froze outside the bedroom door. Your hand hovered over the doorknob, hesitant. Then, you slowly opened it.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his hands clasped together, his expression unreadable. The room smelled like rain and worn-out tension, like two people teetering between trust and betrayal.
"Who was that?" he asked.
You hesitated, looking over at the window with shifted blinds. He mustâve heard the phone ringâŠand saw me out there.
You flashed a soft smile, âAn old friend. Says I should stop looking.â
Jungwonâs jaw tightened but then relaxes, returning a teasing smile, "Maybe you should listen."
Your eyebrows furrowed, "You sound just like him."
He gets up to walk over to you, placing a tender kiss onto your lips, "And maybe that should tell you something."
And although you knew those words were teasing and light, you couldnât help but to feel as if there was a deeper meaning to it.
The words hung between you, heavy and unspoken.
For the first time, you wondered if Jungwon was trying to protect youâOr if he was keeping you from the truth.
So you waited, watching.
You both went to the boxing gym he practiced at. This was the ways he wasted his time, so you accompanied him. He rented out a private room, claiming he needed to focus. So there you were, sitting on the mini couch in the corner, watching as he boxed away all his thoughts and feelings onto the bag. You tried to focus on your phone, but your eyes kept finding their way back to his figure. He was panting, a determined look on his face, and his forehead sweaty. It turned you on, weirdly enough. Your mind drifting off to many dirty fantasies. Jungwon looked over to you, catching your gaze.
âWhat is it, pretty?â He asked, walking over to you.
You shifted in your seat, embarrassed. He tossed his boxing gloves onto the couch.
âNothing,â you lied.
He narrowed his eyes on you suspiciously, lifting his eyebrows in a flirty manner. You could tell he was frustrated from his boxing performance, you saw the irritation on his face when he missed something.
âDonât lie,â he warned, gripping your face to look at him.
You batted your eyelashes at him, innocently. Albeit to the many fantasies flashing through your mind at the moment just at the sight of him.
He tilted his head slightly, examining you. His thumb made its way into your mouth, coating it with your salvia. You suck on it softly, to tease. His face flinches, a bulge growing in his pants. He lets out a low chuckle. He leans down to kiss you, slowly. You lean back onto the couch, allowing him to tower over you, his leg between your thighs and his arms resting on either side of you. You sigh against his lips, melting into him. He kisses you deliberately slow, passionately, as if to drive you mad. And it was working.
His hot, wet kisses trailed down your jawline up till your neck. You softly moaned, incapable of thinking rationally. You looked at the door through your half-lidded eyes, the fear of being caught arousing you. He lifts off your shirt, you let him. He tosses it onto the floor, cupping your breasts that sat so pretty in your laced bra.
âMy God,â he mumbled, âI can never get enough of you.â
He recaptures your lips once again, his hand trailing down your bare waist to grip your ass. You whimper against his lips, your panties feeling soaked. Breathless, he pulls away.
âGet on all fours. Now,â he demanded.
You nod, pushing yourself further onto the couch. You take off your pants, tossing them alongside his pants and other clothes on the floor. You get on all fours, your cunt aching to be filled by him.
He goes behind you, giving you a harsh slap on your ass before pulling down your wet panties. Your hips moved closer to him, pressing against his throbbing cock. He griped onto your hips tightly.
âSo desperate for me, arenât you?â he teased, rubbing his dick between your wet folds.
He cursed under his breath, pushing into you with a harsh thrust. You cried out, gripping onto the couch for balance. He started to rock his hips against you, his pace deliberate and hard. You could tell something was on his mind, and he was using you to release all the pent-up emotions he had. But you didnât mind.
The sound of skin filled the room, but it wasnât louder than the people outside the room. Your moans were broken, the air taken out from you as Jungwon pushed his cock further into you. He was filling you up so good.
His pace quickened, he reached for your hair, pulling it back to deepen his cock within you.
âTake it like a good girl, I know you can do it, detective,â he cooed, watching as you struggled to form words.
Your moans became louder, the pleasure becoming intense the more he hit the deep spots. Tears formed the corner of your eyes, you were drowning in pleasure. You didnât want this to stop.
Jungwon softly shushed you, âDo you want everyone out there to know youâre getting slut out by me?â
You shook your head, whimpering in attempt to bite back your sounds. He lets go of your hair harshly, the mess of your hair and makeup arousing him.
âfuck,â he groaned, âlook at you. Such a gorgeous mess.â
His hips snapped against your hand-marked ass, tears falling down your face. Youâre a moaning mess, uncontrollable panting and incoherent words. Jungwon grabbed a boxing glove, placing it in front of your mouth.
âOpen,â he demanded before stuffing your mouth with it. You bit down on it, hard.
His pace was merciless, pounding into you till your legs trembled. Your loud cries were muffled against the glove, your eyes rolling back into your head as he repeatedly hit your spot. Tears dripped down your chin.
He fucked his anger out on you, focusing on where your dick entered and slid out your cunt. His breath rigid and unstable. He cursed under his breath, throwing his head back. He leaned forward to harshly press you against the couch, arching your back for him.
This new position brought you to the stars. Jungwon let out a loud groan, slowing down only momentarily to thrust harder into you.
âiâma fucking cum,â he grunted, pressing you harder into the couch the closer he got.
You only whimpered in response, feeling your legs violently shake as you became closer to your orgasm.
âFuck,â he breathes, releasing his warm load inside of you.
Your eyes roll back, letting out one last moan before coming undone. Your legs immediately give out, falling onto the couch. You both laid there, entangled in each otherâs arms till you were ready to go home.
The underground fight club reeked of sweat, blood, and desperation. The crowd roared around the cage as two men beat each other senseless under the flickering overhead lights. You stood at the edge of the chaos, hidden in the shadows, your gaze locked onto one man.
Jungwon.
You followed him here, the middle of the night, after kissing you on the forehead while you were âsleeping.â
He moved like a predatorâfluid, precise, devastating. With a swift hook, he sent his opponent crashing to the ground. The bell rang, signaling his victory, but he barely acknowledged the cheers. Instead, his gaze flickered to the edge of the ringâwhere a man in a black suit surrounded by countless bodyguards sat, watching. A face I couldnât manage to see beyond the countless of people.
Your hands curled into fists. Who was he meeting in secret like this? Surely it isnât to fight, he didnât seem to enjoy it a bit in the ring. Why is he doing this?
And then, it clicks.
You had spent weeks tracking down leads on your partnerâs murder, and every single road led back to this place. To the crime syndicate Mr. Yang ran. To the fights Jungwon couldnât seem to walk away from.
And now, you knew why.
âHeâsâŠmeeting Mr. Yang,â you whispered to yourself. Realization crashing down onto you mercilessly.
As Jungwon exited the cage, wiping blood from his knuckles, Mr. Yang gestured for him to come closer. You pressed yourself against the wall, listening intently.
"Youâve done well," He mused, swirling a glass of whiskey in his hand, âBut you and I both know fights like these wonât get you what you really want."
Jungwon didnât reply. Your eyebrows furrowed.
Mr. Yang smirked, âI hear your detective has been getting too close. Poking around where she doesnât belong. Looking for me?â
Your heart pounded.
"Leave her out of this," Jungwon said, voice cold.
Mr. Yang let out a low chuckle, âOh, Jungwon. You donât really believe you can protect her, do you?"
He leaned forward, his expression turning lethal, "Your little girlfriend is a problem. And problems need to be handled. You know this.â
A muscle in Jungwonâs jaw twitched, âWhat do you want, Seokjin?"
Seokjin smirk widened, "Y/n."
He took a slow sip of his drink before setting it down. "Iâll make it simple for you. You deliver Y/n to me. Alive. Iâll make sure she disappears, without a trace. No pain. No struggle. Just gone."
Your breath caught in your throat. You catch a glimpse of his face.
"You want me to turn her over to you?" Jungwon asked, the weight of it suffocating. "What happens if I refuse?"
Seokjinâs eyes turned colder, "Youâll make her an enemy, and youâll be forced to kill her yourself. Your choice."
Jungwon clenched his jaw, the words burning like acid, âIâm not killing her."
Seokjinâs smile widened, âThen youâll do what I say. Itâs simple, little brother. You give me what I want, and Iâll give you what you need. Y/n will be safe. Iâll make sure of it."
Jungwonâs hands trembled, but he kept his face neutral. He wasnât afraid of Seokjin. He was afraid of what he would become if he gave in. But there was no choice. Your life was in the balance.
"Iâll do it," Jungwon said quietly, âBut this is the last thing I ever do for you."
Seokjinâs eyes gleamed with satisfaction, âIâll hold you to that."
As Jungwon turned away, the weight of the decision hit him like a punch to the gut. He wasnât just betraying you. He was betraying everything he had ever believed in.
His undeniable love for you, in which he held dearly.
And for what? To save your life. At least, thatâs what he told himself.
But deep down, he knew that the moment he betrayed your trust, he would lose you forever.
He couldnât look Seokjin in the eye any longerânot after the ultimatum, not after hearing those words, but just as he turned toward the exit, the harsh whisper of a breath cut through the air.
âI heard everything.â
Your voice sent a shockwave through him. His blood ran cold.
Your figure emerged from the shadows at the far end of the club, standing near the entrance with your gun still holstered at your side, but your expression was a mix of disbelief and crushing disappointment. Your eyes bore into his, like daggers, each one colder than the last.
Jungwon froze, his throat tightening. He had no idea how long you had been there, how much of the conversation youâve overheard. But one thing was certainâeverything had changed in that moment.
The distance between you both had just been measured in miles, and it felt like an ocean had opened up.
âY/nâŠâ His voice cracked despite himself. He couldnât bring himself to take a step toward you. How could he? How could he explain this?
You didnât move, your stance unyielding, "How long, Jungwon?â
Your voice was low, controlled, but there was a tremor in it, one that echoed deep inside him. Memories of all the moments youâve spent together flashing before your angry eyes.
"How long were you planning to keep this from me?" you fought back the tears threatening to form in your eyes.
His eyes flickered between Seokjin, who stood silently, watching the scene unfold with a smug satisfaction, and you.
"I didnât want you to know,â He hated the weakness in his voice, âI didnât want you to be part of this."
"Part of this?" You laughed bitterly, though it didnât sound like humor. It sounded like a wound being ripped open.
"You donât get to decide that. Iâve been part of this from the very start. Every decision youâve made, every lie youâve toldâI've been there. Has everything been in a lie?â
âNo, Iââ
âYou think you were protecting me, huh? By keeping me in the dark? You think youâre a hero here?!â you shouted, your hands trembling in rage.
Your eyes were hard, unforgiving.
Jungwon clenched his jaw, but the words wouldnât come. What could he say?
That he had betrayed you to save you? That in his twisted logic, letting you hate him would keep you alive?
He didnât know if he could even convince himself of that anymore.
âYou knew,â you whispered, âYou knew what would happen to me the moment you decided to carry out this lie. You knew how much it meant to me! You knew you were signing my death sentence, but you still did it. You still betrayed me.â
His breath caught in his throat. You were right, and he knew it. Every excuse he had built up, every lie he had told himself to justify his actions shattered in that moment, leaving nothing but the truth. He had given you up to protect you... but in doing so, he had destroyed everything youâve both built. Every kiss, every touch, every lingering gaze, every passionate night, the subtle phases. Everything.
"Y/n, listenââ
"No," you cut him off, your voice breaking.
The gun at your side glinted in the low light as you took a step forward, but this time, it wasnât aimed at him. It was held loosely, the weight of it feeling heavier than anything youâve ever felt.
âYou donât get to apologize now. You donât get to fix this. You made your choice,â you hissed.
Seokjin finally spoke, his voice a chilling interruption, "Sheâs right, Jungwon. Youâve chosen your side. The moment you decided to play hero, you sealed your fateâand hers."
Your gaze shifted toward Seokjin, icy fury radiating from you, "You. Iâm not afraid of you."
Seokjin raised his hands up, a mocking smirk on his face.
"Youâre just a coward hiding behind your power, your money. You donât control me,â you fumed.
Seokjin smiled, but there was no warmth in itâonly a cold satisfaction, "I control everything. Including your fate, Detective."
You didnât flinch. You took another step toward him, your eyes never leaving Seokjinâs, âThen come at me."
Jungwonâs heart sank as he watched you stand your ground, the fire in your eyes only growing stronger. You had no idea what you were dealing with. Seokjin wasnât just a criminalâhe was the mastermind, the puppet master who pulled every string in their world. And right now, he held all the cards.
But as you locked eyes with him, something shifted inside Jungwon. The familiar, heavy weight of guilt and regret flooded over him, and suddenly, it wasnât about Seokjin anymore. It wasnât about the choice he had made or the lies heâd told.
It was about you. He was so ardently in love with you.
The words exchanged between you both hit him harder than any punch could. You had never looked at him like thatânever with such raw hurt and betrayal.
You turned to look back at Seokjin, but he was no longer in sight. Just a bunch of bodyguards.
"Where is he?" you asked, your voice steady despite the unease curling in your gut.
Jungwon didnât answer right away. He just stared at you, his jaw tight, hands curled into fists.
"Jungwon," you warned.
"You need to leave," he said finally.
Your brows furrowed, âWhat?"
âRight now. Walk away and donât look back."
A cold chill ran through you, âWhy the hell would I do that?"
A low voice echoed from behind you, "Because you were never supposed to make it this far, Detective."
You whirled around, your gun drawn, but before you could react, strong hands gripped your arms, yanking you backward.
Jungwon didnât move from his place, tightly having his hand fisted to prevent him from interfering. He looked away, couldnât bare the sight of betraying you evermore.
Rage ignited inside you, hot and consuming, âYou set me up."
You struggled against the men restraining you, fury twisting in your chest, âyou bastard!â
Jungwon finally looked at you then, something unreadable in his gaze, "Iâm sorry."
But you didnât believe him. You couldnât.
Because the man standing before you wasnât the Jungwon you thought you knew. He was just another enemy. Another bittersweet memory.
The sharp sting of metal bit into your wrists as you struggled against the cuffs, your pulse hammering in your ears. The cold cement floor beneath you sent a chill up your spine, but it was nothing compared to the ice in your veins as you replayed the moment Jungwon betrayed you.
The moment he handed you over to his older brother, Seokjin Yang. The one youâve been looking since the start.
Days had passed, and each one even worse than the other. Jungwon had returned home, where he was originally from, in Seokjins mansion. Where you were held captive, underground. It was a harsh awakening, to see that all this time youâve known a version of him that wasnât true.
But he didnât try to correct you, nor open up about it either. And he technically didnât lie, he wasnât who you was looking for. But he knewâŠall this time. He stringed you along. He played with your feelings.
But it wasnât the last time youâve seen him. He would come down, everyday, with food trays and clothes. He looked different than when you first met him. He was properly clothed, his basic outfit probably costing a fortune. It was a bitter reminder that you hadnât known him at all. He was just a rich, corrupt, boy after all.
And the family of your partnerâs murderer.
He looked at the other untouched food trays from the previous days. He sighed, kneeling in front of you. You looked away, couldnât bear the sight of him.
âYou need to eat,â he urged angrily, âare you trying to kill yourself?â
You glared at him, your face pale and beads of sweat grouping on your forehead. Small cuts on your face and bruises on your body.
âyou did this to me,â you thought.
You stayed silent. His expression softened, guilt plastered across his face. He placed the tray on the ground in front of you.
âY/n, I know youâre angry, you have every right to be,â he pleaded, âbut please. I beg you, eat something. At least drink some water.â
He grabbed a bottle of water and opened it, he pressed it to your lips. You hesitated at first, but then took a long sip. You brought your swollen wrists up to your mouth, wiping away dripping water.
His lip twitched into a hopeful smile. He grabbed a spoonful of hot soup, bringing it up to your lips. He blew on it before letting you swallow it.
But then, you spit it back to his face.
âI donât want it,â you said coldly, âdonât show your face in front of me again. I donât want to see you.â
He wiped off the food from his face with his shirt, revealing his bare chest. Your eyes flickered, memories of the intimacy you both once shared flashing for a split second.
The bodyguard at the door checked in and saw the scene. He came closer, ready to attack. Jungwon extended his hand, signaling to stop.
âIm fine. I provoked her,â he defended. He stood up, looking at me once more before turning to leave.
âIâll be back,â he stated, âplease eat.â
He didnât come back for the rest of the day. You were slowly becoming impatient. You needed to leave.
How long were you going to stay like this? Helpless? You needed to leave.
Seokjins men paced outside the locked room, their voices low and guarded. They thought you were helpless. Powerless.
They had no idea who they were dealing with.
You forced yourself to stay still, controlling your breathing. Then, with one swift motion, you dislocated your thumb, ignoring the sharp pain as you wrenched your hand free from the cuffs. Blood trickled down your wrist, but you didnât care. You had one goal.
Survive.
And then, make the Yang family pay.
You moved quickly, silently. One of Kangâs guards turned just in time to see you launch at him. Your elbow slammed into his throat, cutting off his air before he could sound the alarm. His gun clattered to the floor, and you caught it in one smooth motion, spinning just as another guard rushed toward you.
Two shots. Two bodies down.
The door burst open. You raised your weaponâ
But it was him.
Jungwon stood in the doorway, breathing hard, his gun still lowered at his side. His dark eyes flickered between the unconscious men on the ground and you, standing there with a gun aimed at his chest.
For a moment, neither of you moved.
And for a moment, you had a flashback to the night you first met. You guys started like this, and now it seems like youâll end like this.
Then your finger tightened on the trigger, âGive me one reason I shouldnât shoot you right now."
Jungwon didnât flinch. Didnât even blink.
He exhaled slowly, stepping forward, âBecause if you do, youâll never know the whole truth."
Your hands trembled, anger and betrayal warring inside you, "You donât get to talk about the truth. Not after what you did."
His jaw clenched, âI had no choice."
"There is always a choice, Jungwon."
Something flickered in his eyesâregret, guilt, something deeper. But you werenât ready to listen. Not yet.
"Move," you ordered, keeping the gun trained on him.
âNo,â he said, standing in front of the gun. But as you brushed past him, his voice was quietâalmost broken.
"If I had told you everything back then, would you have believed me?"
You didnât answer. Because you werenât sure.
You heard the commotion upstairs, probably back-up. Jungwon grabbed your wrist.
âwhere are you going?,â his face softened, âiâm coming with you.â
Your eyebrows furrowed, about to protest, but you had no time to spare. You both managed to rush out through a secret back way. It was cold, you were weak and exhausted, but you made it out. Your eyes frantically looked around for a car. You pointed the gun at Jungwon, signaling to the luxury lined cars.
âTurn one on. Hurry,â you threatened.
He nodded, grabbing keys from his pocket, he rushed to a car. You both got inside the car, he turned it on, you kept the gun pointed at him.
You left out a shaky exhale, clearly in pain. You flinched, glancing at your wound on your side and cut on your shoulder.
Jungwon glanced over to you, worriedly.
âAre you hurt?â he asked.
You tightened your grip onto the gun, âEyes on the road.â
You guided him to a place. The only place you could think of now. The only place you wish to be.
Home.
You push him inside, gun still pointed to him.
His expression was unreadable, he looked around, observing the place. You carefully reach for his pocket, your hands coursing through his body, taking his gun out. He didnât reach for his weapon. He didnât try to run. He just stood there, staring at you like he was bracing for impact.
"You betrayed me."
The words barely made it past your lips. You hated how raw they sounded, how much hurt was laced in them.
Jungwon exhaled slowly, âI know."
âyou lied to me!â
âI did.â
Your finger hovered over the trigger. You had pictured this moment a thousand times since the night he handed you over to Seokjin. Since the night he let you believe he had chosen the enemy over you. The night he gave what you both had up. If anything.
"Then why?" Your voice shook, but your stance remained firm. "Why did you sell me out? Why did you let me thinkâ"
"Because it was the only way to keep you alive!" His voice cracked through the silence, loud, desperate.
He took a step forward, and you immediately cocked the gun, making him halt. His chest rose and fell with heavy breaths.
"Seokjin was going to kill you, and nothingânot your badge, not your skills, not even meâwas going to be able to stop him. So, I made a deal."
"A deal?" You scoffed, rage clawing its way up your throat, "You handed me over like I was some bargaining chip!"
Jungwon shook his head, âI bought you time. I knew you'd escape."
His voice was strained, laced with something that sounded dangerously close to regret, "I had to make sure Seokjin didnât see you as a threat long enough for you to get out of there alive."
Your pulse roared in your ears, âYou think that justifies what you did?"
"No," he admitted, his voice barely above a whisper, "But Iâd do it again if it meant keeping you breathing."
For a moment, all you could hear was the rain outside, the faint hum of the city beyond these walls. The weight of his words settled over you like a storm, suffocating and relentless.
"I donât need you to protect me," you whispered.
âI know that. But i canâtâŠI canât help it,â he confessed.
He took another step forward, and this time, you didnât stop him.
"Then why?" you asked again, but this time, the question wasnât just about the betrayal.
It was about everything. The tension, the lingering touches, the stolen glances. The way his eyes lingered too long when he kissed you. The way he caressed your hair as you slept in his arms.
Jungwon swallowed hard, "Because I love you."
The confession hit you like a blow to the chest.
Your hands trembled around the gun, but you refused to lower it. You didnât know what was worseâthe betrayal or the fact that some part of you had wanted to hear him say it.
âHow do i know thatâs not just another one of your lies? How am I supposed to trust you?â
Jungwon took one last step closer, close enough that the gun was pressed against his chest. The only barrier between you two. His voice was raw when he spoke.
"You can hate me. You can pull that trigger. But donât ever doubt that I wouldâve given up everything if it meant keeping you safe."
The gun in your hands felt impossibly heavy.
And for the first time, you werenât sure if you had the strength to pull the trigger.
Then, finally, you sighed, âYou really are an idiot."
Jungwon blinked, "Excuse me?"
"You love me, but you thought lying to me and betraying me was the way to protect me? Idiot."
âThere is something I must give you,â he said, reaching for his pocket.
You observed carefully as he pulled out a flashdrive. Your eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
âYou need to see this,â he handed it over to you.
You grabbed your old laptop, the screen flickered on. You plugged in the chip. Jungwon sat at a safe distance beside you. The audio file played through the tiny speakers.
"Y/n⊠if youâre hearing this, then I didnât make it."
Your heart clenched. It was him, Hyunjin.
"I donât have much time. They know Iâm close. But listenâSeokjin isnât our enemy. He was helping me. Heâs an old friend from high schoolâŠIâm sorry I didnât tell you. But, I have proof that the real threat isnât himâitâs someone inside our own department. Someone powerful. Someone whoâs been playing both sides."
Your throat tightened as your partnerâs voice cracked, âSeokjin tried to warn me, but I didnât listen. And now Iâm running out of time. If something happens to me, donât trust anyone. Find the evidence. Finish what I started. And Y/n⊠whatever happens, donât let them turn you into their pawn like they did me.â
The recording cut off.
You barely registered the moment the room started spinning. The flash drive felt like a dead weight in your palm.
You were too in shock. Hyunjin and Seokjin, friends? Hyunjin running from someone in your department?
This whole timeâŠyou had it wrong.
For months, you had poured every ounce of your rage into bringing Seokjin down. You had been convinced that he was the one who ordered the hit on your partner, that he was the reason for the blood on your hands. And nowâ
Now you know the truth.
Jungwon, who had been sitting beside you, finally spoke. His voice was careful, measured.
âYour partner had been investigating a dangerous underground crime syndicateâone even more powerful than Seokjinâs operations. He and Seokjin had a secret alliance, working together to take them down from the inside. Seokjin, despite his reputation as a crime boss, had been trying to dismantle the organization in his own way, using his influence to protect those who couldnât go to the police. But then, Hyunjin got too close. He uncovered something that put him directly in the syndicateâs crosshairsâmaybe evidence that tied corrupt officials and high-ranking officers to the criminals. He needed to get it out.â
âSo he turned to Seokjin,â you continued.
He nodded, âBut before Seokjin could move, the syndicate acted first. They made it look like Seokjin had ordered the hit on Hyunjin, knowing that it would shift all suspicion onto him. By the time we arrived to help as back-up, he was already dead. Which is why I was there the day of the murder. The real mastermind, A high-ranking official or someone within the police force who had been feeding information to the syndicate. They needed Hyunjin gone, and framing Seokjin was the perfect cover. Thatâs the real truth, Y/n.â
Your eyes flickered, tears stinging your eyes. This was your breaking point. You had been so blinded by rage, you hadnât realized the answer was there all along.
Jungwon hesitantly reached for your shoulder, caressing it.
You turned to him, embracing him. He immediately welcomed you in his arms, caressing your back in comfort.
âItâs okay,â he soothed, âAs long as iâm here, no one can hurt youâŠâ
you pulled away, gently.
âI love you, Jungwon,â you confessed, âas much as I hate to admit it.â
He paused for a moment before flashing you a genuine smile, his dimples showcased.
âYou donât know how long Iâve waited for you to say that,â he whispered, towering over you.
He kissed you lovingly, soft, and slow. As if you were fragile, as if he was scared of hurting you.
As if he was going to lose you if he let go.
You wrapped your arms around him, pulling him closer. You fell back onto the couch, allowing him to hover over you.
âIf I could go back and do it differently, I would. Iâd choose you. Every time,â he whispered.
Your heart slightly ached.
"I donât deserve you," he continued, âBut if thereâs even the smallest chance that you could forgive me⊠that we could try again⊠I swear, I wonât waste it."
"Youâre going to have to prove it," you said softly.
Jungwonâs lips parted, as if he hadnât expected you to give him even that much. But then, after a moment, he nodded, a small, almost broken smile tugging at the corner of his lips. He recaptured your lips again, this time more yearnfully.
"I will," he promised, âEvery day, for as long as youâll let me."

Solar Return & Your Risingđ
âšImagine each one as the mask of your soul for the year, coloring how you move through the world, how others see you, and the essence of your personal evolution from birthday to birthday. You have to also look where the chart ruler of the rising sign is in the house. âš
Aries Rising in a Solar Return brings a year where your soul is set on fire. There is an urgency to begin, to act, to break free from old restraints and carve a new path. You walk through life with sharper edges and raw instincts. Your presence is bold, unfiltered, and alive with potential. This is a year of reclaiming your autonomy â not just saying "I am," but living it. You might be more assertive, even impulsive, because something within you is aching to move forward before thinking twice. Life wants you to chase what excites you.
Taurus Rising in a Solar Return invites a year of anchoring. You become more in tune with the rhythm of nature, with your body, with the beauty of slowness. This is a time when youâll crave security, not only in material terms, but in your emotional and energetic environment. You radiate calm, and others may be drawn to your stability. Your growth this year comes from building â relationships, income, trust â with steady hands and patient timing. Life slows down so that you can truly feel it.
Gemini Rising in a Solar Return brings a year full of conversations, questions, and changes of mind. Your energy is light, curious, and perhaps scattered, drawn to new people, new ideas, and new experiences like a bee to blossoms. Thereâs a restlessness to this year, and your task is to explore without losing yourself in the noise. You may find yourself talking more, writing more, learning, teaching, sharing, and rethinking everything you thought you knew. The world becomes your classroom.
Cancer Rising in a Solar Return marks a tender, emotional year. Youâre more protective of your heart, yet also more open to the quiet healing that comes from truly feeling. Themes of home, family, the past, and emotional safety rise to the surface. Your presence may feel softer, more nurturing, more inwardly focused. This is a time to nourish your roots and honor your inner world. Life asks you to embrace vulnerability â not as weakness, but as strength.
Leo Rising in a Solar Return lights the fire of visibility. You are meant to be seen, to create, to express the truth of who you are without apology. There is more drama in your expression this year â not necessarily conflict, but boldness. Your spirit wants to play, to shine, to fall in love, and to remind others of joy. You might feel a deeper desire for recognition or creative fulfillment. This is your stage, and the world is watching.
Virgo Rising in a Solar Return shifts the focus inward. Itâs a year of refinement, of cleaning the dust from the corners of your life, and aligning your actions with your deeper values. You may appear more reserved or critical, but underneath is a deep desire to serve, to heal, and to do things right. Your attention is drawn to your body, your routines, your work, your health. It's not about perfection, but about devotion â to the details that hold your life together.
Libra Rising in a Solar Return brings a year colored by connection. Relationships become mirrors, showing you who you are through the eyes of another. There is a pull toward harmony, toward beauty, toward peace â and yet you may also feel torn by indecision or the need to please. This is a time when love, fairness, and art matter more than usual. You come off as graceful and diplomatic, even when you're spinning inside. The lesson is balance â within and without.
Scorpio Rising in a Solar Return is intense, raw, and transformative. This is a year of depth, not surface. You may find yourself withdrawing from the noise, becoming more selective about who gets close. Others may sense your power and mystery. Itâs a time for inner work, for facing your shadows, for letting old versions of yourself die so something more truthful can be born. The world may not understand your metamorphosis, but your soul knows exactly what it's doing. Scorpio is associated with rebirth, power, sexuality, healing, and hidden truths â so these themes will likely dominate your solar year. People might find you more magnetic, but you might also be more selective about who gets close.
Sagittarius Rising in a Solar Return breathes expansion into your lungs. This is a year to wander, physically or spiritually. You may feel a hunger to learn more, to travel farther, to dream bigger. Your aura is open and bright, and others may be inspired by your optimism. You are the seeker now â searching for meaning, not just facts. Whether through study, belief, or bold movement, this year wants you to grow into a wider version of yourself.
Capricorn Rising in a Solar Return brings a year of structure and self-responsibility. You are being asked to grow up in some way â not necessarily to lose your softness, but to rise into your strength. This is a time of building foundations, committing to long-term goals, and showing the world what you're capable of. You may come off more serious or reserved, and life might feel heavier, but there's a quiet pride in taking full ownership of your path.
Aquarius Rising in a Solar Return calls for liberation. You are stepping outside the norm, rejecting boxes, and experimenting with new ways of living and relating. Others may see you as eccentric or ahead of your time. Itâs a year to explore what authenticity really means, and how to live by your own truth without needing approval. Friendships, technology, and unexpected change may feature strongly. You are here to shake things up â starting with yourself.
Pisces Rising in a Solar Return opens the gates to the dreamworld. This is a spiritual, poetic, sometimes confusing year. You may feel more sensitive to energies, more intuitive, and more emotionally fluid. There's a softness to your aura, a dissolving of boundaries â for better or worse. Youâre being asked to surrender, to trust, to create, to listen to what the world doesnât say out loud. This is a year of divine timing, of mystery, and of deep soul renewal.

MW Reaction to You Taking the BDSM Test
Warnings: Implied Smut, MW Characters Being Down Bad & Feral, Mean! MW, Rough! MW, Dominant! MW, Submissive! MW, Teasing, Petnames, Profanity, No Pronouns Used For Reader Except You.
Ghost
His laugh is gruff from over your shoulder. A glower, if you listen closely enough. His hands, rough and calloused with the weight of his atrocities, clamp down on your shoulders. He squeezes them. Tight. Tighter.
âYou donât need a test to find out what youâre into, Love.â
He stands closer. From your position on the couch, you can feel something hard pressing between your shoulder blades. He rolls against you, his grip tightening. You whimper, wince, and he lets go a hum.
His hands drop from your shoulders to the front of your shirt. There, he grips the seam and rips it open. You jump, gasping, the buttons flying off into god-knows where â corners of the room, pinging off furniture.
His hands are on your chest, kneading, needing. Heâs rough. He needs you now â he canât even stop to remember to be gentle.
âI can do that,â he lowers his lips to your ear. His breath is hot.
âAnd more.â
König
König had sat with you while you took the test, curious to see what youâd choose â what your heart truly desired.
Of course, despite how close the two of you were, you did try to retain what little of your dignity you could by choosing answers that didnât make you look insane. Or nymphomanic.
Little did you know that König could see right through you, his lips stretching into a smile whenever he saw your fingers itching to choose the highest values for kinks he absolutely knew you had (whether you were aware of his knowing or not).
When the test was over and you got your results, you thought youâd walked it. âSee?â You showed your results to König. âTold you I wasnât into anythingââ you searched for the term heâd used. âExtreme.â
âOh, Maus,â König said, almost growling. Purring, perhaps. His eyes were narrowed, feline. âWe both know thatâs not true.â
König took your phone and placed it somewhere out of your reach. Frozen with anticipation, you gave no fight as König took you by your shoulders and laid you down, pressing you into the floor. He brought his thighs over you, caged you beneath him. His hands either side of your head, he smiled.
âYou neednât be evasive with me, Darling.â His hips dipped down. Something hard pressed against your abdomen. Königâs eye twitched. âNow then, letâs see how many of your answers were true, shall we?â
Soap
Johnny looks at you with what you could only construe as confidence. A challenge. You could feel the sly remark creeping up his throat as you tried to explain away the results of your test, trying not to paint yourself as someone whose answers suited them a little too well.
âOh aye, Bonnie â I believe you,â came Johnny. With all the genuity in the world. âI just donât think you do.â
When you gave him a queer look, his smile grew.
âWhat Iâm sayinâ is you know thereâs more to sex than that testâll have you believe.â
Johnny shifted closer to you, eye-level with you. His hand came up to your chin, taking it between his fingers. He held you there.
âAnd Iâd be more than happy to show ya what youâre missing out on.â
Valeria
âLooks like mi Cariñoâs had a little too much screen time.â
Sheâs on you before you can even escape to your lock screen, a viper-strike hand plucking your phone from your grip and throwing it over Valeriaâs shoulder. It cracks, somewhere, but her frame is all you can see as she pushes you to the floor.
âSeems like youâve forgotten your place,â she grunts as she forces you to the ground, watching you fall flat on your backside. The carpet is enough to cushion your fall, but there isnât a material in the known universe that can withstand the fire in Valeriaâs eyes.
âSeems to me that you need to be reminded what you like.â Valeria bites her lip, coming to stand over you. Her shadow roves over you, almost as if to grope you, feel you.
She brings her boot onto your chest. Keeps you down.
âAnd where you like it.â
Price
âSo you think Iâm vanilla, Hm?â Priceâs voice carried a weight you were not unfamiliar with, but the way in which he spoke suggested something unknown. His ankle sat atop his knee, arms crossed over his chest.
Youâd gotten him to take the BDSM Test â âFor science!â youâd told him. And, to nobodyâs surprise, Johnâs results had come back relatively tame. Yours, however, were a different story.
John leaned back in his chair, his cigar lying in the ashtray, embers fading.
âWhy donât you come over here,â John said, voice low. He spread his legs, patted the expanse of his covered thigh. His eyes glinted with all the light of a black mirror.
âAnd teach this old dog some new tricks.â
Horangi
Hong-jin had seen your results by accident and had decided that teasing you about it would provide him with enough of a distraction to stop himself from salivating at the possibilities they opened.
Sure, it started off tame. The odd comment here and there about you seeming to be âtied upâ with whatever task you were doing, that you were doing such a good job of completing your work, etc.
Anything to get you hot under the collar.
And, luckily for Hong-jin, it worked. You came to him, frustrated and very much in need of relief.
Hong-Jin hummed, putting you on his lap. He ground his thigh between your legs, calling you his âGood little pet â behaving so well for me.â
His eyes almost seem to glimmer as he tells you how much he should reward you for being able to hold out for so long. Something to the tune of an oddly specific interest you knew youâd never told him. But thatâs alright; your scores told him everything he needed to know.
Alejandro
He was NOT expecting the answers you got on your BDSM test. And you werenât fully prepared for what you found on his.
Yes, Alejandro leans towards taking the dominant role in bed. Sure, not all the time, but enough that one look at the two of you could definitively conclude which of you wore the pants in bed.
Which, until tonight, neither of you had questioned.
âYou know, CorazĂłn,â came Alejandro. He sat beside you, not looking away from the TV. âIt couldnât hurt toâŠtest some of our weaker areas.â
You looked at him, eyebrow raised. Then, it clicked.
âOh,â you said, leaning closer, smiling. Knowing. Alejandro looked down at you. You could see him biting back a wide grin.
That night was spent with Alejandro bottoming while you went to town making him cry, whimper and beg for more.
Rodolfo
Youâd assumed that Rodolfoâs results would be, at most, rather banal. In spite of his military background, he was gentle â loving â when it was just you, him and the late hours of the night.
So, when you saw his results and discovered that, oh youâre kind of depraved, actually (in a loving, non-judgemental way; you just werenât expecting how much his results told you he was into), you wanted to test Rudyâs limits.
A whole day of teasing, complete with a healthy side of blue-balling, had, eventually, caused Rudy to grab you and drag you into the bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him and locking it. He threw you to the bed, his strength masked by his lamb-like disposition.
âI know what youâre doing,â he said. He stood over you, arms crossed over his chest. âAnd I know why youâre doing it. Youâre trying to make me cave â trying to get me to ruin you.â
You couldnât have put it better yourself. But he could. He approached you, came down to your level, crawling over the bed. You backed up until you hit the headboard (for the first of many times, you suspected), and Rudy, with a dark glint in his eye, gripped the headboard behind you, trapping you.
âTrust me, Amour,â he said, bringing his face level with yours, his voice low. âWith the way youâre acting, youâll be lucky if thereâs anything left of you to ruin by the time Iâm done with you.â
Graves
Bless your cotton socks â youâd forgotten to close the tab on Gravesâ phone that had your results splashed across it. Hence, Phillip was having a good old laugh about it now in the confines of his office. Though, the longer he studied your results, the stronger the throbbing between his legs became.
Of course, he sought you out. And of course, he made now secret of your faux pas. And, of course, you tried to explain it away. âI took it for funâ, âIt was for a laughâ, âI didnât t think youâd find itââ
âAh, there we go. The truth, coveted as it is,â said Graves, smiling from ear to ear. He stepped over the threshold of your bedroom, backing you up against the edge of the bed. He kicked the door shut behind him. No escape.
âNow,â he drawled, approaching you. âYouâre gonna show me exactly what youâre into, where you like it,â He stood chest-to-chest with you now, watching you lose your balance as you fell back onto the bed. He all but pounced on you, taking your wrists and pressing them into the mattress.
His eyes were ablaze with a lustful vengeance as he pressed down on you. Into you.
âOr Iâm gonna fuck it outta ya.â
Gaz
âDidnât know you were intoâŠâ Gaz squinted, looking over your results from over your shoulder. He went quiet.
âOhâŠâ From the corner of your eye, you saw his face turn pink. Then red. He cleared his throat and took a step back.
âY-yes, wellâ uhâ thatâs a veryâŠcolourful scorecard you have there!â
Smiling, a hint of mirth in your eyes, you turned to him. You could see he was nursing a rather pressing, growing problem, and you sought to relieve him of it.
âHow about you come and help me make it a bit more colourful, hm?â
At that, Gazâs eyes widened. His tongue tied as he tried to form words â a word â anything !
Your smile grew. So did Gaz. âOh, come on, Gaz! Big military man like you scared of a little fun?â
Letâs just say, Gaz also found himself taking the test shortly after youâd ruined him.

MY SAVIOR, BEAUTIFUL SOUL

âïœĄđŠč°⧠the oak family head has always intrigued you, but your sworn loyalty to the nameless led you to raise your sword against him in battle. but now that itâs all over, and heâs repented his sins, will you let him get closer to your heart?
contains friends to lovers but itâs more like love at first sight, slight aventurine x reader, purity-corruption talk, slight yan!sunday, gopher wood and sunday backstory, religious imagery, character study?, very very slight gore but as a rhetorical device, pov changes (reader -> sunday), scent kink, virgin!reader (implied) and virgin!sunday, heâs an asshole about virginity, cunningulus, pussy referred to as âsheâ, dubcon-noncon creampie
notes this was supposed to be a drabble idk what went wrong, take this as a thank u for all the support <33 feel free to send in requests
sunday, dominicus, the oak family head. ever since you arrived in penacony, youâve heard these names countless times - but you canât blame the citizens, because, as the ipc gambler said, he is the most famous man in the whole planet of festivities (well, he said handsome, but thinking about how attractive he is will just make you even more distracted). you canât deny that you feel intrigued by the halovian, but, with all that happened, it is very unlikely that youâd ever interact with him again. well, thatâs the harsh reality of the trailblaze - as march told you in one of your âgirl talksâ in your room in the reverie. and as soon as you start coming to terms that your little crush on sunday is destined to be inconclusive, you suddenly receive a text from mr. yang: the man youâve been infatuated with is joining the express.
youâre a bit ashamed of your lack of hesitation when itâs time to vote in favor of the new member of the astral express - at least caelus and the others agree with you in looking past all the ena chaos. well, itâs not like you went against your better judgment: itâs clear that sunday has had a change of heart, and all his actions are a product of years of grooming and abuse by another member of the family. as he came to terms with this knowledge, though, sunday changed. the meticulous oak family head is no more, and all thatâs left behind is a bird with no wings, no freedom, nothing. but, despite being just a shadow of his former self, the halovian is not a stranger to humanity, to feelings. he saw your behavior on penacony (your courage, your strength, your desire for freedom), and he saw how you stood up for him for his addition to the nameless. and he admires you.
as weeks go by on the express, sunday slowly starts getting closer to you: first, itâs offering you some insight on books heâs read, that are most certainly in your interest, miss y/n, then, itâs joining you for breakfast. and when you two are close enough - closer than he is to any other member on the express - he starts being more physical. resting his knee against yours (unknowingly making your heart skip a beat, or two), lying his hand on your shoulder, and slowly inching his face closer and closer to yours. even if heâs long abandoned the manipulative powers of ena, you still feel trapped by his gaze. however, itâs not controlling - far from it - but the sheer sensibility and vulnerability that pool in his irises are enough to make you go weak in the knees.
one night, youâre both sprawled out on your bed, staring at the stars in the ceiling. while youâre seemingly relaxed, sunday feels like his brain is about to short circuit any second now: his nose is filled with your perfume, his fingers are less than an inch apart from yours, and his eyes are stuck on your face. have you always looked this good? yes, heâs sure of it: your hair frames your face so well, your complexion looks exceptionally dreamy, and the way your eyes melt into his is enough to make him feel lightheaded. and your body - god, your body. sunday has lived a life of chastity, of strict rules and limited, if not any, freedom. even so, he canât help but feel guilty when he feels his cock inevitably strain against his pants when you unintentionally get closer to him. his breath hitches, and he hopes, prays even, that you donât notice the twitching. sunday feels like the guilt could eat him alive: youâre so sweet, so willing to accept him for who he is - and heâs doing nothing but tainting the sweet image has of you.
who is he kidding? the second he met you, you were corrupted by him. since your first introduction in the reverie, when he wasnât an outcast, a fugitive yet, but the most respectable man in penacony, he had his mind set on you. he was disgusted with himself when he felt his stomach churn at every interaction you had with the stoneheart. sunday knew he had no business involving himself with your affairs with aventurine, but he went against his better judgment and spent just a tiny bit more time torturing the avgin man. of course, he feels like a monster now. and he felt like one when you were on the battlefield, fighting against the harmonious choir, against him. but, sunday is now a new man. so, deep in his heart, he hopes that youâll forgive him for lusting over you.
âsunday? are you okay?â
oh. your voice, your sweet, honey-like voice. itâs enough for him to be stripped away from his thoughts, a saint arriving at a land of sin and evil. he coughs - a lousy way to mask his thinking. âiâŠyes. donât concern yourself, miss y/nâ. your eyes soften. âsunday⊠you can tell me whatâs wrong. youâre not alone anymore.â
right - heâs not alone. he has you, mr. yang, caelus⊠he is no longer trapped in a cage, and his newfound freedom is hard to process. the world sunday has known for years has collapsed, but rebuilding a new one is easy if youâre with him. and he knows you wonât leave. right? how could you leave? an angel like you is above all cruelty heâs known, and youâll take care of him. so he smiles, and closes his eyes, denying himself to stare at you any further.
you just sigh: after all thatâs happened, you canât bring yourself to pry further in his mind. you donât know what youâll find. so, unconsciously, you reach out to him, hand sneaking over his face, caressing his cheek. you donât miss the hitching of his breath, or how his eyebrows form a slight frown. sunday, on the other hand, is feeling everything all at once: he feels like heâs crash landing in a groundless void. the more he sits there, helpless, the more he feels disgusted with himself. how can he not do anything in this situation?
but he knows, deep down, that you wonât blame him for being weak: youâre worshipping him as much as he does you, and for just a second, sunday feels the robbed divinity rush in his veins again.
and with this newfound confidence, sunday open his eyes and almost closes the gap between you two. itâs bold, irrational, and so unlike him, but he sees no trace of malevolence in your eyes - just genuine surprise. he thinks you look so cute like this, so surprised. so heâll keep going, so long as he gets to see you like this. he inches closer, and everything around him stops. his heart and mind are racing with questions, unresolved reasonings, but sunday thinks itâs time to let this all go. maybe heâs trying to cope with the lustful, sinful, but oh so addicting thoughts he has of you, but maybe, just maybe, heâs a tired man seeking solace.
and maybe he can be both, he concludes. his lips press against yours, clumsy and inexperienced, and his eyes flutter shut. sunday feels the oxygen flowing back into his lungs when you mimic his actions. the hand that was resting on his cheek now serves as a way to pull you both closer to each other, both unknowingly afraid to break the kiss. itâs fragile, raw, but so is sunday. youâre the first to pull away, reluctantly, but the halovian knocked all air out of your lungs. your hand doesnât move, though, and a line of spit that connects your lips serves as a testimony to what just happened. youâre breathless, wordless, but sunday sees your dilated pupils and reddened cheeks - maybe you need him in the same way he needs you. that must be it.
âmiss y/nâŠâ sunday speaks first. your expression softens. he sees it, and suddenly every word that comes to his mind seems meaningless, unworthy of being uttered in your presence. you deserve more, much more, and sunday fears heâll never be able to communicate with you - not even by ripping out his heart and handing it to you. you sense this (and sunday wonders how: surely you have not been blessed by xipe?), and rest your forehead against his. you smile, and he feels powerless. experimentally, you rest your lips on top of his. âis this okay?â, you murmur, lips not leaving his.
god, yes. sunday feels no hesitation as he crashes into the kiss, breaking the soft and gentle balance you tried to build. he knows heâs never done this before, but he doesnât worry about self consciousness, insecurities or whatnot. he forgets about lust, maybe because heâs already been taken over by it, or maybe because what heâs feeling is love. either answer is foreign to sunday, who keeps following his instinct. he gently moves on top of you, one hand holding yours, while your other hand lowered itself on the nape of his neck. he kisses you again, and again, until youâre both panting, lips swollen and wet with spit. and the he feels it - how could he have forgotten it? the strain in his pants is more evident than ever, nudging at your soft thigh. he whimpers at the friction, feeling his clothed sensitive tip nudge against your skin. sunday feels his stomach churn: what now? heâs never done this before - he has never touched his cock, let alone have it done by someone else.
then, he hears it. and he feels like he could listen to that angelic sound for the rest of his life.
you whimpered - or is that a stifled moan? sunday does not know, but it doesnât matter as heâs now painfully aware of your presence. he feels lightheaded, his mouth is inexplicably dry: he swallows, then closes his eyes. he gets closer to you, nose prodding at your cheek, taking in your scent - itâs sweet, just like you, but itâs just so human, so raw. is this what arousal smells like? sundayâs head is spinning, and he feels like all the blood his poor heart is pumping out is going straight to his pants. his free hands goes from your cheek, your neck, your collarbones. then, he hesitates: he needs to tell you something, he canât just take you. âmiss y/n⊠will you let me?â your eyes are watery, your face is burning. you can just nod, not being able to let out any word but a sweet, sweet whimper. sunday smiles: youâre just so cute. âyou have to tell me⊠canât do anything otherwise. can you do that for me, miss?â
embarrassment pools over you. when did he get so bold? but his erection feels so good on your skin, and you need more: so, you do as he commands. âplease, sunday⊠t-touch me? please-ah!âŠâ sunday rolls his hips into your crotch as you speak, tip hitting your poor cunt. he smiles, and kisses you again. he keeps on kissing you, trying his best to keep you quiet - and him. his hands sneak down to your chest, feeling the soft, supple flesh sink into his cold, trembling fingers: your breasts are even better than what he imagined (countless nights spent stifling his noises as he pumped his cock, thinking about you), and he feels his dick twitch when he feels your nipples hardening. as he unbuttons your shirt, he wonders how he couldâve lived without this, without you, for so long. youâre left in your bra - itâs nothing elaborated or fancy, just a white, lacy bra that cups your boobs so well. sunday breaks the kiss to press pecks all the way down to your neck, pressing his lips on your soft mounds and nose on your cleavy. aeons, you smell so good. âpl-please⊠help me take this off.â you donât question his inexperience, and slowly unhook your bra. sundayâs the one that takes it off, and he swears his briefs are drenched in precum. he latches his mouth on your nipple, hand playing with the other, first sucking gently - and as you moan and cry louder, he gets harsher. heâs unaware of the hickeys tainting your smooth skin: even if he wasnât, heâs too busy playing with your tits. his cock is subconsciously prodding at your crotch, and you canât take it anymore: âsund-ah! sunday!⊠ngh, n-need you to-hm!⊠do m-moreâŠâ
oh. how can he deny you? he leaves a goodbye kiss on your nipple, so lewd but so him, and moves his hands to your waist, slowly tugging down your skirt. once itâs off, sunday focuses on your panties - oh, theyâre matching with your bra. did you do this for him?, he wonders. you minx, you knew that heâs infatuated with you. well, nowâs not the time to dwell on this, he concludes, and strips you of your panties. now heâs left stunned: your puffy cunny is staring right back at him. ây-y/n⊠youâre gonna let me touch this? this pretty pussy? please?âŠâ you nod - the praise making your head spin and eyes roll back into your skull. sunday smiles, relieved: he didnât know what heâd do if you denied him of your sweet hole any longer. his face hovers over your crotch, lips kissing your labia, your clit, your hole.
his nose is pressed against your clit, bumping on it as he makes out with your cunt - and you cry, thrashing desperately because this is so lewd, so perverted! howâs sunday supposed to know all this? your thoughts are interrupted when he sighs, and reluctantly leaves your pussy alone. you gulp as he raises his body, undoing his belt and letting his pants fall. heâs in his briefs, and you can clearly see the fat outline of his cock. itâs hard, thick, and thereâs a wet spot right where the tip is: sunday lets out a deep breath, and tugs down his pants. your mouth is watering, and you feel your neglected cunt leak as his cock springs free, hard and angry, so different from its owner. sunday is delicate, pure, and his length is swollen, veins leading to the oh so delicious mushroom tip.
sundayâs embarrassed: why are you staring at him? is his cock so horrid? why- oh.
he lets out a moan when your hand engulfs his dick, soft skin wrapped around his aching flesh, and sunday thinks lust has really taken over him. âplease, let me-ah, lemme put this inside. need y-you!â and how can you say no?
you lean back, and sundayâs on you like a starved man - he knows he should lick your hole a bit more, maybe stick a finger or two in it, but he has long forgotten all the knowledge he got from some blooodhounds years ago. his tip prods at your small hole, and he worries about breaking you. can you take it? his sweet angel, youâre so perfect for him and heâs about to defile you - oh, he feels like he could cum just like this. tip pressed against your clit, both of your juices mixing together in a candied mix. he lowers his cock a bit, enough to be face to face with your entrance. the world stops when he slips it in: your pained moans, your walls fluttering shut around him, your tears staining your white sheets. sunday has ruined you, corrupted you with his lust, but now that heâs known how your cunt feels, he canât get enough.
he moves, and his thrusts are messy, sloppy, inexperienced, his balls slapping and bruising your soft skin. sunday feels like heâs reached heaven, and he wonât stop. he canât - youâre sucking him in so hard, so desperate to be fucked by your halovian companion. oh, you must be a pervert too, sunday realizes, letting a defiled angel like him taint you. but now youâre his, forever robbed of your purity and pride, and youâre not going anywhere.
ââm gonna c-cum, âkay a-ah, angel? let me cu-uhm! in you, please? yâre g-gonna be ngh! a sweetheart, yeah? lemme claim your cunny, âkay?â sundayâs voice is slurred, words flowing out of his lips without his control. you nod, maybe even say something back, but sunday canât hear you - youâre pussyâs the one heâs listening to right now. and sheâs pleading so sweetly for sunday to cum in her. so, maybe youâre telling him no, that itâs risky, itâs wrong - but heâs not listening.
sunday empties his load deep in your pussy, kissing your cervix and womb with it, and heâs happy. he kisses you, poor you whoâs all fucked out on your bed. donât worry though, sunday will take care of you. itâs only natural - youâre bound together now, and maybe this realization is the reason you creamed so sweetly around his cock. he kisses you again, and you succumb yourself to him.
heâs happy, and he feels his cock twitch at the thought of doing this again. then, heâll take his time tasting and ruining you again, and again, until heâs sure you wonât leave him: not for the avgin, not for the trailblazer, not for dan heng. youâre his, and heâs yours. forever.

A gentle knock on the bedroom door made you look up from your book. It wasnât new that your husband asked for permission to enter this way, and you had long stopped telling him that it wasnât necessary, and he was always welcome in your space.
âYes, honey?â, you called, and his head poked in.
âDarling, can we talk?â
Your heart jolted at his serious tone. Trying to not jump to any conclusions, you sat up a little with your back against the headboard, nervously smoothing out the blanket over your chubby tummy to have something to do other than panic and nodded, making him come in and sit at the foot of the bed, a notepad and pen in his hand.
His eyes flickered to the book youâd closed in your lap, âYou like these stories.â
It wasnât a question, so you quickly hummed in agreement for him to continue.
âI know that the male character is very desirable to you, and I also understand that you possibly prefer him over me, since I have been too busy to pay the right amount of attention to you lately.â
âOh! Honey, no! Thatâs not-â
âDonât worry, darling, I got your hints.â
âMy⊠my hints?â, you asked carefully.
âYouâve been reading one of these books every one to two days now. I must have neglected you a lot. Iâm sorry.â
âBut you didnât!â
He set the pen on the notepad and held your confused gaze.
âThis⊠âshadow daddyââŠâ
â-where did you learn that term?â
âWhat does he do that I donât?â
And with a mixture of horror and hysterical amusement you realized, he wasnât accusatory, but waiting for an actual list.
characters: Kita, Ushijima, Kageyama, Aone, lowkey Kenma, your stoic fave
a/n: inspired by this reel and thank you to @haikyu-mp4 for the addition of âthe hintsâ xD

đąđœđŸđčđČđ đŹđŸđčđČđ (đ„đȘđ”đźđ·đœđČđ·đź đđȘđ đŒđčđźđŹđČđȘđ”)
yandere anti-cupid Ă (fem) cupid reader.
Synopsis: you bring couples together and he breaks them apart. A rivalry ensues between the two of you. And while Vexian seems hellbent on destroying everything you've built, we often forget how close hate is to love...or perhaps obsession is a better term.
Contains: yandere thoughts/behaviour, mentions of side character death, blood.
Note: HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY ANGELSSSS ⥠Sorry this came out after valentine's day! I was so busy but here it is. (Wrote this to make myself feel less single) but anyway enjoy!
âĄ
Strange dreams had been plaguing your mind. And not just any dreams, ones of him.
Vexian, an anti-cupid â whose favourite indulgence was picking apart people's relationships, watching them crumble under the pressure. A heart made of stone, and a head even harder.
Then there's you, a cupid. The embodiment of everything pure and happy, the very person who fosters love. Too sweet, too gullible.
A match made in heaven, right?
You would dream of lips caressing your skin like silk, whispers of sweet promises fanning over your ear. It felt all too real each time you shot up, covered in cold sweat.
But, this couldn't possibly be true. How could it when he glared at you like you were dirt on his shoe?
A being born from evil could not be capable of such tenderness.
âĄ
A lazy yet smug smile adorned Vexian's lips as he watched the couple quarrel. It was music to his ears, humans unknowingly dancing to his tune like puppeteers.
He doesn't remember the last time there wasn't a hole gaping through his black soul. It was a bottomless pit of hunger. It was only satiated when he fed on heartbreak and grief, and even then it would crave more.
Whether he liked it or not, he had grown addicted to his guilty (or not so guilty) pleasure of having power.
One obstacle stood in the way of getting what he wanted: You. A pretty winged thing who scurried around with a cute arrow and bow, desperate to give everyone a taste of romance.
Too selfless for your own good.
"You're wasting your time, y'know." Vexian drawled, towering over you. The air surrounding the two of you was distorted and sizzling; it pulled you in yet made you uneasy.
"How am I wasting my time exactly?" Your brows furrowed, a pretty pout on your lips that was adorably frustrating.
He could crush you under his foot like a bug, but he doesn't want to. The game is much more fun that way. The silver cracks that ran through his otherwise perfect skin practically glowed. "It's funny, trying to fix things that were bound to break eventually." A finger reached out to twirl a strand of your bouncy hair around it, his thumb rubbing it.
He continued, "Emotions make you weak. They cloud your judgement and do nothing but disrupt the so-called peace you strive for."
Holding your chin high, you attempted a glare that could only do so much to rival the crazed intensity in his. "It makes people happy, though."
"That could only do so much in the long run," his eyes crinkled. "And I can't wait to watch you realise that."
As quickly as he appeared, he vanished.
Back then, you didn't realise that there was something lurking in his eyes while he looked at you.
Perhaps it came from his desire to prove you wrong.
Vexian did everything he could to watch everything you built fall so graciously to the ground. He meddled into all of your relationship, hoping for a disheartened expression. The only thing on your face was a small smile as you continued aiming your arrows at each and every person.
Something fluttered inside of him. You were so fascinating, even more than the night sky he liked to stare at.
He recalled those evenings where he'd come to your place to discourage you, only to find himself in a trance..
The moonlight streamed through the window, bathing you in an ethereal glow. Your lashes cast shadows on your cheekbones as you slept.
And Vexian couldn't bring himself to hurt you.
Other evenings he'd watch over you while you were out match-making, just to quell the storm inside of him.
Perhaps it grew more wild as he left things on your windowsill.
The anti-cupid finally found something new he could study. How could your spells counter his own? What did you have that he didn't?
A new kind of beast awoke inside him. If love was so powerful, then shouldn't he get to experience it firsthand? That sounded only fair.
Yet, he didn't want any kind of love.
No, he wanted yours.
âĄ
Disappointment washed over you, replacing any initial excitement. Why didn't your arrows work? Why did it turn love into something unrecognisable, monstrous?
All the couples you worked so hard on matching ended up hurting each other. Jealousy would rear its ugly head into their lives, and so would obsession right after.
No, no, you could not fail. This was your one purpose, your true reason for living. If you couldn't fulfill your job, what would you do? Where would you go? What if-
"Hey, hey, relax."
That velvety, haunting voice sounded so deceptively sweet, prompting you to look up into his eyes. For a moment, you were almost fooled...until his hand on your shoulder snapped you out of it.
You wrenched out of his grasp, jabbing a finger into his solid chest. "What did you do?"
He hummed, "I'm not sure what you're talking about, baby." The pure amusement in his voice practically gave it away.
"You did something to my arrows, I-I don't know what it is but you're ruining love." Your voice sounded strained with distress. It could only make him croon. You always gave and gave and gave to those pests, but never got anything in return. He plans to fix that.
Tweaking your arrows was rather easy. A little dark magic here and there then it all fell into place, like a perfect puzzle piece.
Feigning sadness, he sighed dramatically. "And here I thought you'd like what I prepared for you. I just altered it a teeny bit to perfection. After all, shouldn't the feeling of it consume you?"
You flail your arms in wild gestures, "no, it shouldn't."
"Oh?" Then why did he feel that way when he looked at you?
Before he could utter another remark, his gaze drifted over to where you had been staring before he arrived.
A measly man. Was he another one of your projects? Yes, that must be it. It's probably-
You turned to follow his gaze and you stared at the human...
...with hearts in your eyes.
His body froze up. The world around him spinned and the air thickened around him, crackling. He couldn't speak, couldn't think of anything else except you.
How dare you love another? Go against your morals? Lovers didn't betray each other, you knew that.
Fists clenching, he recoiled from your form but you didn't seem to notice, too entranced by the pathetic man. The gears started to turn in his head, jaw clenched.
No one should have your love. You should've noticed him, whose love burned brighter than the stars. But no matter, he will have your love. Vexian will be back soon enough.
After all, Valentine's day was approaching, right?
âĄ
14th of February.
Romance, love letters, sappy confessions, dates, all of it was on this fateful day.
You had a skip in your step, wings fluttering behind you as felt giddy about your favourite holiday. You got ready â adding a pretty gloss to your lips and a clip to your curls. You wore a short, white sundress for the occasion.
Things were going to be a bit different this year.
It was time you finally rewarded yourself on Valentine's â maybe a cupid could have a chance at love too?
Fluttering around your house, you looked for your bow and arrows. Could have sworn you put them on the vanity-!
They sat proudly, carefully, on the small kitchen table. There wasn't any time to ponder as you reached for them.
A large hand enclosed around yours.
Your breath hitched as the other arm wrapped around your other side, trapping you against the table.
Warm breath fanned over the nape of your neck, "Happy Valentine's day, my love." Vexian pressed a kiss to your temple, making your chest tighten. What is he doing? And why couldn't you bite back?
The lack of response on your behalf only encouraged him to continue, "thought I'd bring you a gift. What kind of lover would I be if I didn't, hm?" You had half the mind to call him out, if it weren't for the supposed present being thrusted into your hands.
A white rose, dripping in crimson.
Your ears rang as the thorns prickled your skin, sending golden blood running down your hands. "What- I-I-"
Vexian hushed, smoothing down your hair, "Shh, baby. I got rid of that pest for us, aren't you happy?" The flower dropped to the ground. Pest, did he mean-
No, no, no. Not him. Please. Your quiet sobs wouldn't come close to the turmoil twisting your very organs around.
"Don't cry, Y/N." He cooed lovingly, cupping your chubby cheeks and squishing them together to form a quivery pout as tears ran down in streaks. This was a nightmare. A terrible one.
You managed to sputter, sobbing, "what have you done?"
His chuckle sounded more like a rumble in his chest, dark wings mocking your tiny ones that he's come to love so much. "What have I done? I made sure no one stood between us anymore." That only made you spiral deeper and deeper, drowning in your tears.
Sigh. "Baby, I understand your hesitation. You fear what you don't understand, right? I do not love like you do. I love like the moon loves the tidesâpulling, controlling, devouring.â a soft smile has the audacity to grace his lips, "but the way I see it, you wouldn't need to worry about my loyalty. The devotion I have is eternal, unlike that human."
"He didn't do anything to you!" You bawled hysterically, both because of your demise and the man's. Your shaky hands reached up to grab his, trying to pull them off of you.
"Oh, but he did. He took your attention away, and that alone is unacceptable." He peered into your frightened eyes at such a close proximity, "but enough about him, I want to show my real gift."
Raising his hand, Vexian snapped his fingers. And the world around you spun before collapsing.
âĄ
You could finally look around, but this was not your home.
The luxuries surrounding you were hard to ignore â walls made out of marble stones and intricate carvings, jewels and expensive trinkets littered the room and a heavenly view was cast outside. This location was too peaceful, too relaxing, too perfect.
Realisation dawned on you that this was no ordinary place, but a palace. You almost forgot about Vexian if it wasn't for his warm hands placing themselves on your waist.
"Do you like it here?"
A sniffle escaped you as your gaze flickered up to him, "W-where are we?"
He spread his arms wide open, a cheek grin making its way onto his features. "Home."
"H-home?!" You repeated a moment after.
"Home," he confirmed. "I made this world for you, for us. Time is a bit different here, but other than that, everything you desire shall be at your feet."
Your body flinches at the impact of his words. This guy expected you to go running into his arms, didn't he?
You whisper softly, "No, I won't stay. What about my life back there?"
"You're still thinking about those pesky humans? Your only purpose right now is to accept my love," he stepped forward, pushing you down on the golden, silk sheets of the king-sized behind, hair spreading out beneath you like a halo.
Struggling under his grasp, you yelled. "And what makes you think I'll actually stay here?" You expected anger, but it never came. His gentleness was a contradiction to his existence, so much that you couldn't believe this was the same man who hated Valentine's day with a burning passion.
Silver eyes gleamed under his tousled locks of black, "you will, one way or another." Slowly, he extracted a blade, shushing your protesting cries with a peck on the nose.
You screamed and thrashed, trying to get him off. "You monster, let go of me!" Hands clawed at his chest, trying to free yourself. It was all in naught though as he pinned you down.
He cut his own palm then did the same to you. Then, he interwined your hands together â silver and gold mixing â before leaning down to kiss you. You turn your head to the side, only for him to grab the back of it and force you to look him in the eye. His fingers tangled in your hair.
"I've waited so, so long to do this. M'not wasting my chances, my love." His lips suddenly smashed down on yours, the kiss speaking volumes.
You tried to break free, but the spell was strong. Your resistance grew weaker and more futile. It was a silence to your pleas. You could no longer flee.
He pulls away, pupils dilated. Finally, you whisper softly, succumbing to your fate, "you don't understand love at all."
Pressing his forehead against yours, he smiled adoringly.
"Then teach me. After all, we have all eternity."
âĄ
Yours truly,
@urprettylildoe

Got a bit carried away⊠Hope you like it!đ«¶ Also english isnât my native language so even though i proofread this it might not be perfect so, sorry for thatâčïž Also kinda hate this



billie eilish x fem!reader
warnings: smut domtop!billie subbottom!reader
You and Billie had broken up 2 months ago, everything has just gotten too much for the both of you and a mutual agreement was made to end things. You guys ended on good terms which is never a good idea.
"You're looking good," she said, her voice barely carrying over the din of the party. The lights were low, the music loud, a typical Friday night at Quenâs place. She was a mutual friend, the kind who never took sides, even when the breakup had left everyone else is picking theirs.
You nodded, a tight smile playing at the corners of your lips. "You too," you managed, eyes lingering on Billie's black tank top and baggy jeans. It had been months since youâve seen each other. Time had a way of changing people, but Billie looked as though she hadn't changed a bit. The same messy hair, the same piercing gaze that could cut through the noise and into their soul.
You both took a swig from your drinks, the cold liquid doing little to ease the heat rising in your chests. The air had tension, the kind that comes from unresolved feelings and unspoken words. The room felt like it was spinning around you, the laughter and chatter of the party fading into the background. You leaned closer, the scent of Billieâs perfume hitting you like a wave, and for a moment, you were back in your old apartment, the two of you tangled up in your bed.
"Come with me," Billie whispered, her hand brushing against your wrist, sending a jolt of electricity up your arm. You didn't need to ask where she was leading; you just followed, your body acting on instinct alone. The hallway was a blur of shadows and colored lights, the bass of the music thumping through the walls like a heartbeat. She pushed open a door and you stumbled into a random bedroom, the door clicking shut behind you.
The room was dimly lit by the glow of a lava lamp, casting a warm, pulsing light over the unmade bed. The walls were plastered with band posters, but none of it mattered. Your eyes were only for Billie, the way she looked at you with a hunger that mirrored your own. The room spun as she stepped closer, and your breath caught in your throat as her hand reached up to trace the line of your jaw. Your heart hammered in your chest, a wild drumbeat echoing the music outside.
Her fingers lingered on your skin, sending a shiver down your spine. "We shouldnât so this, but i just⊠I need you." she murmured, her voice thick with desire. You nodded, unable to form words but knowing exactly what she means, as she leaned in to press a gentle kiss against your lips. The taste of her was like a forgotten melody, sweet and familiar. âFuckâ She murmurs as you wrapped your arms around her, pulling her closer, feeling the heat of her body meld into yours. Your hands found the hem of her tank top, lifting it to reveal the smooth, pale skin beneath. Your fingertips grazed the softness of her stomach, making her gasp into your mouth.
The music outside became a distant murmur as you two became the only sound in the room. You could feel the rhythm of her breath sync with yours, the pounding of your hearts in time with the bass that thrummed through the floor. Her hands slid under your shirt, her nails scraping against your back, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. You broke the kiss to catch your breath, only to find you staring into her piercing blue eyes, searching for answers to questions you didn't want to ask.
Her thumb brushed over your bottom lip, and you felt a shiver of anticipation. "I don't want to stop," she whispered, and you knew what she meant. You didn't either. The whiskey had lowered your inhibitions, but it was the raw, unspoken longing that made you crave her touch more than anything. You stepped closer, pressing your body against hers, feeling the warmth and softness that you had missed for so long. Your hands found the button of her jeans, fumbling slightly with the zipper before sliding them down her legs.
Billie's eyes never left yours as she stepped out of her shoes and allowed you to guide her onto the bed. You followed, hovering over her, feeling the mattress dip beneath your weight. You took a deep breath, inhaling her scent, feeling the heat between your legs grow stronger. You leaned down, capturing her mouth again in a kiss that was both fierce and tender. Your teeth grazed her bottom lip, and she let out a soft moan, arching her back to press her breasts against yours.
Her hands reached for the hem of your top, her nails scraping gently against your skin as she lifted it over your head. The cool air of the room kissed your bare skin, making you shiver. You felt her eyes on you, drinking in every inch of your body. You were self-conscious for a moment, but the hunger in her gaze washed away any doubt. She was yours, just for this moment, and you were going to savor it.
Your lips found hers again, more urgent this time, as your hands roamed over her body. You felt her breasts, the soft mounds filling your palms, her nipples hardening at your touch. She gasped into your mouth, and you knew she was just as lost in the sensation as you were. Your kisses grew deeper, more demanding, as your tongue danced with hers. The taste of her was intoxicating, a drug that you had gone too long without.
With a growl of desire, Billie flipped you onto your back, her body straddling yours. Her hands slid down to your waistband, deftly unhooking it and sliding your pants and the slutty thong you were wearing off. She leaned over you, her hair a dark curtain that blocked out the rest of the world. You could feel her breath against your skin, hot and desperate as she unhooks your bra. "I missed you so much" she repeated, her voice a low, throbbing murmur that shoot sparks to your core.
Her fingers trailed down your stomach, teasing the softness of your belly before dipping lower. You gasped as her hand found your wetness, her touch gentle but firm. She stroked your clit in slow, deliberate circles, watching your face as the pleasure built within you. You felt the pressure of her thumb as she applied just the right amount of pressure, making your hips jerk involuntarily. Your nails dug into the bedsheets, the fabric bunching in your fists.
You reached for her, desperate to feel her skin against yours. Your hands found the back of her neck, pulling her down for another kiss. This time, it was all passion and need, a silent confession of all the feelings you had pushed down since your breakup. Your tongues collided, the taste of alcohol on her breath mixing with the sweetness of her mouth. You felt her other hand slide up your thigh, the smoothness of her skin against yours making you shiver with desire.
Her fingers slid further down, parting your folds, and you couldnât help but moan into the kiss. The sensation was almost too much, your body responding to her touch as though it had been waiting for this moment. She explored you with a confidence that sent waves of pleasure through you, her thumb circling your clit as she slipped a finger inside. You were so wet, so ready for her.
Your hips rocked against her hand, seeking more, and she gave it to you, adding a second finger and curling them upward, hitting that spot that always made your toes curl. Your breaths grew ragged, your moans louder, as she pumped her fingers in and out of you with an agonizingly slow rhythm.
"You're so wet for me," Billie murmured, her voice a sweet, filthy symphony in your ear. "Tell me how much you've missed this." Her words were a gentle coax, a soft caress against the storm of sensation building inside you. You couldn't form coherent sentences, so you just nodded and manager to babble something about how much youve missed her. Your breath hitching as she picked up the pace.
"I've missed you, baby," she whispered, her thumb circling your clit in a way that made your vision swim. "Missed your sweet pussy, missed the way you taste, missed making you come." Her voice was a soothing lullaby of dirty words, each one sending a jolt of pleasure straight to your core. You moaned in response, your body arching off the bed.
Her mouth found your neck, kissing and biting softly as her fingers continued to play you like an instrument. The room was a haze of colored lights and heavy breathing, the scent of lust thick in the air. You felt your orgasm building, a tight coil in your belly that threatened to snap at any moment. You clutched at her, your nails digging into her back, begging for release. âFuck bils⊠pleaseâ
Billieâs other hand slid up to cup your breast, her thumb teasing the peak. She pinched your nipple gently, rolling it between her fingers as she watched your reaction, a smug smile playing on her lips. You moaned louder, the dual sensations pushing you closer to the edge. You felt your muscles tighten around her fingers, your body begging for more, for that sweet release that only she could give you.
"Come for me," Billie breathed, her eyes never leaving yours. The command sent a bolt of electricity straight to your clit, making you whine with need. You nodded frantically, your eyes fluttering shut as you focused on the feeling of her hand working you, her thumb pressing into your G-spot, her thumb rubbing circles around your clit. Your hips bucked up to meet her, your body desperate for the crescendo.
And then it hit you, the orgasm crashing over you like a wave. You cried out, your back arching off the bed, as your pussy clenched around her fingers. The room spun, colors flashing behind your eyelids. Her name was a chant on your lips, a prayer of thanks for the pleasure she had given you. You felt her smile against your neck, her kisses gentle as the aftershocks of your climax rolled through you.
When the world came back into focus, Billie was still there, her eyes on yours, a soft smile playing on her lips. "Missed this," she murmured again, her voice filled with satisfaction. You couldn't help but nod, the words sticking in your throat. âMissed you.â The silence between you was heavy, filled with the echoes of what had just happened.

Stat vindicta potens | emperor geta x reader.
word count |Â 2.4k
warnings | 18+, NSFW, concubines, demeaning terms, dark themes (dubious consent, violence, blood, mentions of war), porn with too much plot, unbeta'd.
synopsis | When the twin Emperors had entered the roomâfilled with musicians and dancers and food you had dared not touchâyou had stood as rigid as stone. It had been the same visceral feeling as when you had first seen the Romans approach your home: a deep, clawing desire not to be seen.
Except now, you had to be seen. You were part of the spectacle.
gifs by @batty4steddie
Stat vindicta potens, et adhuc crudelibus ausis respondet poena.
[Vengeance stands powerful, and still punishment answers to cruel deeds]
There had been no pain.
No.
There had been painâso much that it constricted your lungs and scratched your throatâbut not enough time to feel it.
Once, your father had praised the gods for his wealth, a fortune earned through the trade of fine goods; he had adorned you with corals and pearls, a living testament to his success.
Still adorned with the rich jewels he bought, you had walked into Rome wearing a stola stained with his blood.
You had thought an Emperor would choose his gifts himselfâor rather, you had never thought about it at all, not until it was you who had been chosen.
It was a strange way to begin a new life: not through the predictable choices of your father, but through the whims of strangers in a far-off land. Your brothers, dead in battle, had been of no use to you as their wealth crumbled and the last of their possessions were taken. General Acacius had claimed what little was leftâand he had gifted you to the Emperors.Â
A token of friendship.Â
A spoil of war.
Tuis nec parcitur umbris.
[Your shadows are not spared.]
Another servant had dressed you in a woolen tunic and had styled your hair.
You would have to learn how to do it yourself in time, she had warned, but first they had to gauge your worth â after all, there would be no point in teaching anything to a gift that had no use.
"What should I do?" you had asked her.Â
"Serve wineâ.Â
Dread had filled your loins as soon as you had set your eyes upon the imperial palatium. Shining in the sun, the marble stairs had welcomed youânot like the arms of a mother, but like the open doors of an adorned crypt.
It was then that you had come to understand another truth: General Acacius had been nothing more than a weapon wielded by others. When a sword cuts through your flesh, itâs not the blade you fear, but the pair of hands that guide it.
"How?" you had asked again, but she refused to answer.
Non impune feres: seris venit aspera pĆnis retributio.Â
[You will not bear it unpunished: a harsh retribution for your crimes will come in time.]
When the twin Emperors had entered the roomâfilled with musicians and dancers and food you had dared not touchâyou had stood as rigid as stone. It had been the same visceral feeling as when you had first seen the Romans approach your home: a deep, clawing desire not to be seen.
Except now, you had to be seen. You were part of the spectacle.
You had served wine beforeâto your father, your brothers and their guests. You had poured before the same kind of deep red wine: but the hands that had to do it now had changed, and the weight of the eyes on you had pressed harder.Â
You had approached your captors carefully, your gaze lowered in deferenceâbut unseen, as they had sat on their adorned thrones, draped in robes of golds and reds, without sparing you a glance.
At the time, you had not known how to tell them apart; both could have been either Geta or Caracalla, as their names had meant nothing to the terror they equally inspired.
The first you poured wine to had ignored the cup, his attention fixed on the man seated to his left. Once, you might have sneered at the lack of a compliment - now, the gift of being nothing to him had washed over you like fresh air (but still stung like a silent mockery). To the man, it had been as though the wine had fallen into his goblet by the godsâ will alone.
Then, you had moved on to his brother â and instead his gaze had lingered, sharp and unwavering.Â
"Is there a trick to it?" he had mused, his voice low, almost to himself. You had frozen in place, as still as the statues scattered around the room. For a moment, you had almost believed the Emperor had just asked you how to pour wine â and your gaze had flicked upward, an instinctive mistake.Â
His face had surprised you: it was not an imposing man who owned you, not a fierce general or a quiet sage â but a rabid dog, sick and weak in his silks. His eyes, red-rimmed and glazed with white, remained unseeing.
"How does one keep something" he had murmured, "when it feels as if it may slip away at any moment?".
But yet again, it had not been you he had been asking. Was it treason to leave an emperorâs question unanswered, when he posed it to the air?
And then, through the suffocating fear, a streak of something darker had twisted in your chestârage, hot and sudden. You had had men and women alike ingratiating themselves to you, hoping for nought but a smile: and now an ill animal, with his teeth stained in gold and spit and blood, could bite your neck and move on without a thought.
You had measured your words, then. "As the poet says, fortune is like the winds: fickle, but a friend to those who know how to steer."
And if he had truly understood the meaning of your wordsâthat you did not think him a steerer, not a good oneâyou could have signed your death with feigned servitude.Â
But the Emperor (Caracalla, as you would learn later) had just blinked and chuckled. Shrill and sharp, it had not been a laugh born of humor, but something else: as if he had found mirth in you speaking at all, not a thought spared to the words you had used.
He had then drunk from his goblet as if nothing had happenedâand yet, seated next to him, his brother had heard and not laughed.Â
Emperor Getaâs gaze had lingered on you: no amusement in his eyes, no warmth.
Fatis pendebis, ficta modestia.Â
[You will hang by fate, with feigned modesty.]
You once thought an Emperor would choose his gifts himselfâand thatâs what Geta did with you.
No hope for burning passions, no overwhelming closeness: this time someone thought it fit to have you learn about your role, because a concubine must please more than a servant.
âYouâre less talkative than beforeâ.
Emperor Geta lounges on his lectus, cushions surrounding him. In the soft light filtering through the curtains, his ginger curls seem molten goldâa physical extension of his crown, a birthright to power.
Your started your private encounter like you had started the first: not draped in a rough wooden tunic, but still pouring wine into his cup.
You spent more than one night wondering what had caught his attention, and how he must have heard your exchange with his brother: and whether it was the words he understood, or the venom laced in them, the result still has you in his bedchambers.
âI donât want to spill a dropâ you lie.
He observes you pouring his wine as if it were a religious rite. You try not to care: you pour and pour âand by the time the cup is full, you have emptied your head of all the thoughts and the dread that filled you.
âYou wonâtâ he says. Itâs endearing, almost like a compliment, but not quite. âDrink with me.â
Heâs not asking.
Drinking in front of him (taking a quick gulp that barely registers the taste) feels as much a part of the ritual as the wine he offers: a play to show you what he can give you, should you continue to play his game.
"How does it taste?â. Geta's voice is as soft as a caress: itâs unsettling, how sweet he is choosing to be.Â
You stare down at the large goblet you just filled with thick, red liquid: wine, herbs, and honeyâthe kind you would have enjoyed in another life. "It's great."
"Only the best for us" he saysâand you know, by instinct alone, that us means him and his brother. The remark almost makes you raise your goblet in a toast, but you fear it might come across as mocking. All the rage that Caracalla ignited in you, Geta suppresses with dread.
He watches you as you pass the goblet back, because he is always watching.
Your eyes, your chest, your hands. You know you barely look like your old self nowâbefore purple silks and face paints and ornati crines. A shiver escapes you: if you had thought of his brother as a rabid dog, you donât know how to describe the quiet madness behind Getaâs gaze.
A predatory smile twists his lips, the kind that reveals his teeth and narrows his eyes with a hint of delight. You try not to let any old rage show on your face, knowing he would easily pick it upâbut every pass of his eyes screams satisfaction.
His head cocks to the side as he regards you. âYour lips are stained" he observes instead.
When he rises from the lectus, his movements are deliberate. Even in the privacy of his own rooms, servants dismissed and gone, he still carries himself as if an audience is presentâso much so, you wonder what kind of untold he feels the need to hide in the presence of a concubine.
Emperor Geta pauses before you, and you let him taste the flavor of the wine off your lips. His kiss is almost too sweetâand his command comes next.
âUndress meâ.Â
Someone must have started the task, for he wears only a linen tunic; a servant must have helped him with that, while others lit the incense that now thickens the air in the room. It's an oily smell, suffocatingâmixing poorly with whatever herbs had been added to the rich wine.
âAs you wish, domineâ. The term makes his eyes roll toward the drapes above your heads.
You know some concubines call Caracalla Carus as an endearing term. A bold young man had boasted to you how he called him regina once âgoing into detail about how much the Emperor liked it, though few had believed him.
You dare not try the same with his twin.
After the tunic falls to the ground with a soft thud, you let Geta guide you to sit on his bed. You let him undo the braids in your hair and take your own tunic off your shoulders; the multitude of bracelets and anklets he had his servants put on you stay on.
He does not turn you to face him when lays you down on the bed, as your own nails dig into your palms and his head bows low into your hair.Â
You don't say no. You could not say no if you wanted to.
So when your knees are firm on the mattress, and you feel his weight behind you, you take the small liberty of parting your own legs. If he appreciates the gesture, he does not say: with a palm he pushes on your back until your bare chest is touching the linens, his hand sliding slowly back to your hips.
It is not the first time youâve lain with a man â a stain on your pudicitia that your father would have abhorred, and one that Geta does not even question.
Your sigh is one of relief when you feel him push into you, because this is what you have been waiting for since you had been brought to his bedchambers: not the his little scene with the wine, not his feigned sweetness, not his long stares.
âI suppose thatâs all what you wantedâ he grunts, his lips caressing your collarbone. His hips trusts into you so hard that the anklets on your legs clash against each other, creating a soft and clinking sound.Â
Tink-tink-tink. You donât give him the satisfaction of an answer.Â
The soft kisses he peppers behind your neck are nothing like the way he thrusts into you. As he moves you grip the pillows, the linens, your own armsâwhatever you can find to steady yourself.
"This is what you wanted" he continues, his deep breaths coming out fast. âWhen he gifted you to usâ.
Faster, he's going faster. The meaning of his words is not lost on you: that he may have taken your hatred for lust, your insult for a praise. That if Caracalla had shown the same interest he would have left you to him âbecause you were equally oneâs and the otherâs.Â
But Caracalla hadnât cared for a servant and her poets; and his twin was not one to let a good gift go to waste.
Your thighs squeeze around him âand even if you command yourself not to say a word, itâs like the small yes escapes on its own. Let him believe whatever he wants; let him give you thought and purpose, as long as he keeps moving.Â
He growls his approval â and then he throws himself to the pillows that had been your anchor up until that moment, and pulls you on top of him.Â
At this angle and lighting, he looks divine.
Everything about him turns to gold under the sunlight: it serves to remind you of what he is, and what his people allow him to do. You loathe how much you admire the view as you sink down onto him, cataloging all the ways the muscles in his face shift when he is lost in pleasure.
âYou were such a good gift to usâ.Â
Your skin crawls at the praise and you push up on his chest, bringing your hips down quicker and quicker ad quicker.Â
The lingering presence of Caracalla in the rooms â even if only through the us Geta keeps referring toâignites you, and you are furious once again. The heat of it washes over your naked skin, waking you up from your subservient slumber.Â
You feel Geta twitch within you as you slam into his hips one final time, his fingers sinking deep into your hips. You cherish that feeling: itâs sobering, for it means tomorrow you will still be aliveânot as a servant but something more, the future the three Fates have woven for you clearer and clearer.Â
As he comes and grunts, your thoughts wander.Â
Geta on his knees, his throat slit. Blood gushing from him, as dark as the wine he had you taste.
Geta scared: you over him, not as an object of pleasure, but as the extension of Nemesis herself.
Geta powerless.
Geta defeated.
Geta enslavedâand itâs with that last thought, with that image, that you come.
Quis dabit exitio tantos, scelerate, triumphos?
[Who will give such triumphs for your destruction, wicked one?]

new lesson | aeon! dr. ratio x f. reader ( 18+ )
not a continuation post but more like a horny extra sideplot you're welcome you freaks /j in which our aeon ratio has come to learn that he, too, has human desires. he's perhaps a little too fond of his emanator, and perhaps his emanator is a little too pretty for him to be able to control himself. my aeon ratio plot here tags : face fucking, mind break, power play, mind control, consensual nonconsent that turns into to consent, painful sex, womb penetration, dacryphilia, asphyxiation, begging / whining / crying, use of the term 'girl', religious imagery sorta, ratio has a huge dick and it hurts, he also doesn't know the limits of the human body and pushes you way past yours, coercion almost, obsession, mention of stalking, yandere ratio, reader almost loses consciousness twice, struggling, afab anatomy, finger fucking, possessiveness, mean ratio calls you a failure once god x disciple word count : roughly 4000
the aeon of dissemination has taught you plenty while you were underneath his tutelage. so many whispers of the cosmos that others would fail to hear, so many secrets untold, shared only by those in the know. an all-powerful being with much more power than you could ever hope to know, yes, and yet.. during your private lessons together, you found yourself bearing witness to his more human side more often than not. your time together was much less a deity whispering incomprehensible knowledge to his devout pupil, and much more a civil conversation between humans. almost.
you were his emanator, which meant that you derived your power directly from him. this caused you to be able to reach heights previously unknown to you, but it also became your shackles. you were bound to his word, for his word was law. if he told you to bark, you would bark. you had no choice in the matter. if he told you to, by any chance, strip down and worship naked at his feet, well, you couldn't deny him that, either.
ratio had grown to enjoy his time with you. no, rather, he had grown fond of you. you learned quickly, you asked the right questions, you were beautiful, and kind. you were everything he wished for in a companion. even aeons get lonely too, surely you understood that. he found himself curious about you while you were away from him, often opting to lose his corporeal form and watch you from the shadows. he had always preferred doing things from the shadows, anyways, so this was nothing new.
you were beautiful. not just in your mind, but your body, too, something that ratio hated to admit. he had assumed, wrongly, that he had no attraction to human bodies, only human minds. but yours.. it stirred something in him, made him question himself. his motives, his.. desires.
and he desired you. he wanted that to be clear, and yet he bided his time, waiting patiently in the shadows of your home for the next time he would summon you before him, something coming up rather soon.
as you arrived within his domain - a huge, expansive, never ending library filled from top to bottom of books on everything in the universe. no matter how obscure, you could find the information you were seeking in front of you, from the tiniest of details of the most unknown planets to the biggest complexities of the cosmos.
" dr. ratio, it's good to see you again, " you called out, approaching his throne, sat in the center, surrounded by bookshelves covering every side by the front. there, ratio was sat, his legs crossed with an old book in his hand. " i pray you're doing well ? "
" i am, " he nodded, his demanding gaze flickering from the book to you, taking in your every single move. ratio snapped his book closed, his eyes never leaving yours, leaning forward in his throne. " i have been reading about human pleasure. it has been a subject previously untouched by me, but as you know, one must encapsulate all things to be able to full grasp the complexities of life. "
you stopped in your tracks, stunned. he had been reading about.. human pleasure ? you swallowed thickly, allowing yourself an awkward, small laugh, your hand coming up to the back of your head as you tried to figure out what to do with yourself under his gaze. " oh ! i.. see. it's surprising that you've just uncovered this now, considering your knowledge in human psychology. "
" would you say that those two things overlap ? " he asked, the book resting on his lap now, completely forgotten about now that he was in your presence, the human that had made the aeon of dissemination question himself.
" well.. they're definitely related, " you started, thinking about how to properly explain yourself before you said anything further, a quality that he admired. " human desires are just the culmination of inherently desirable qualities in a partner, right ? those who take a more submissive role often desire dominant partners in all aspects of their life, not just in the bedroom. of course, there are exceptions, but it could be used as a rule of thumb for understanding how humans interact with one another in a romantic and sexual sense. "
your explanation earned you the briefest of nods. " would you say that you yourself are in this broad generalization ? or are you an exception ? " he asked, his words low and gruff, like he was waiting on your answer to his question. " you, who dominates so much of your life. you teach the willing, guide them towards knowledge. not many would be above you in status, i presume. would you consider yourself in need of a partner who you can take control of, too, or would you rather.. be controlled ? "
you hesitated, something that he noticed. were you not willing to share such details with him ? was it because of his status, or simply because of your nature ? you were rather introverted, although not necessarily completely since you could command a room with just the tone of your voice. well, almost every room. this was one room that you had no control over.
you were confused, but mostly, you were curious. why did he want to know ? what was he gaining from learning such private and intimate details about yourself ? this was the first time that he had asked such revealing questions to you, although you weren't unaware of his recent curiosity with your life outside of the walls of this library. this was the first time he had actually shown any type of interest in you, and to be quite frank, it unnerved you a little bit. but if ratio asks a question, it gets answered. that much, you knew. " i.. find myself leaning towards the submissive role in bed. i prefer if my partner could.. command me, sometimes, and take control whenever possible. "
dr. ratio didn't say anything for a while, his eyes narrowing slightly, his legs uncrossing as he examined you from top to bottom, taking in your attire, and taking it off in his mind. he needed to know why he felt these desires towards you. he needed to know why you, specifically, out of everyone that he had interacted with within the cosmos, earned his gaze in a way that no others did. he didn't even know that he had these baser, more carnal instincts.
" now, who would be able to control you ? you, an emanator of the dissemination, a being with knowledge vast beyond most mortal comprehension, " his eyes sparkled with something as he beckoned you forward, signaling for you to get on your knees in front of him, something that he very rarely did. and yet you complied, and his interest in this situation only grew. " who could control you.. other than myself ? "
kneeling down in front of him, and looking up at his eyes, you sucked in a breath, your heart beginning to race in your chest as you thought about the implications of his words. were you truly interpreting his words correctly, or was this another one of his many wise warnings that he often bestowed upon you when you have strayed too far away from your chosen path ? and yet, you could see the smirk on his otherwise stoic face, and you knew that you weren't misunderstanding his words.
" strip for me, girl. " you felt that throbbing pain in your head that momentarily disorientated you, your hand rushing up to grab your forehead as you swayed slightly. you swore you could feel every single nerve in your body standing on end, a warning for what was to come. yet, this was not the feeling inside of you that you got when he was commanding you to do something that you had no choice in the matter of, you knew this for a fact because he had done that to you a few times while trying to guide you towards the correct path. you had no idea what this was, other than to perhaps remind you of his power over you.
nevertheless, even while bursting with embarrassment, you obliged, first taking off your purple blazer, undoing the buttons of your white dress shirt and slipping it off of your shoulders, before finally your skirt, something that made you more nervous than revealing your chest in front of him. you stood up onto your knees, bringing yourself in between his legs as you pulled your skirt and underwear down at the same time, letting the fabric pool beneath you at your knees.
" good girl, you're such a good girl, " he whispered, his hand reaching out, gently petting your head before combing through your hair, his gaze revealing nothing about his intentions, only the hunger inside of him. you'd only ever seen this look in his eyes whenever he was learning, and perhaps, in a way, he was learning something. " come closer. i trust you're experienced in this area, or should i teach you the basics ? "
you shuffled closer, your hands on your thighs as you didn't dare touch him. " i.. have a little experience, but not a lot. my apologies, i.. my lifestyle doesn't exactly allow me to often indulge in these kinds of.. activities with others. " you were just inches away from him, your face so close to his body, his crotch. you had so many questions. was this all just an elaborate test of sorts ? did he truly intend to teach you how to pleasure him ?
did he even have the anatomy for such a lewd idea ?
" it's okay, " he answered, as if hearing your thoughts, which he likely did. he was a being of immeasurable power, after all. and yet here he was, exerting his control over you and yet at the same time, losing his cool like a lovesick fool unable to keep himself together in the face of a beautiful person. " i'm rather fond of willing students, so don't worry. you'll learn, i am sure of that. you're a very capable being, after all. "
" this body is human in all capacities, " he continued, his hand still on the back of your head, subtly pulling you closer. " i originally believed it to be human in all ways except for the brain, but i believe i have been incorrect. it seems this form, no, i retain many of humanities baser, more carnal instincts. i would like you to service me. you may begin with removing this trousers from me. i will guide you, but i'll warn you, i won't be gentle. "
all you could muster was a small nod, your hands finding their way to his pants, shaking with nervousness, and also maybe just a twinge of excitement. here, you would have an aeon underneath your touch, begging for you. surely this was a pleasure that not many got to partake in. you could see it straining against the fabric of his pants, begging to be released, and you couldn't help but purse your lips together nervously, taken aback by its size.
finally working up the courage, you unzipped his trousers, pulling them from his hips down to his legs, letting the fabric fall beneath him onto your lap, leaving him in just his underwear, his cock pressed up against his leg, the bulge in his underwear now impossible to ignore. you looked up again at him for confirmation, to which he just nodded. " proceed. show me your worthiness to be at my side. take me into your mouth. if you don't think you can do it, i will guide you. "
you bit your bottom lip, your nervousness slowly turning into palpable excitement as you finally pulled his underwear off of him, freeing his cock from its confines once and for all. he was bigger than you'd expected, with precum messily coating his bulbous tip. he was huge, so much bigger than anything you've ever seen before, making all other sexual situation you'd been in before this one become meaningless in comparison. ratio's grip on the back of your head tightened, almost painful as he leaned you forward, giving you virtually no choice but to comply with his demands.
nervously, you kitten licked the head of his cock, one of your hands holding the base of it so you could bring it to your mouth. determination to prove yourself filled you, along with undeniable arousal, but you knew that there was simply no way to take all of him in your mouth without pitifully choking, and he must've been aware, too. you began to bob your head up and down his length, feeling an unfamiliar sting in the back of your throat every time the head of his cock hit the back of your throat.
you continued this for a moment, earning contented groans from his lips, until you found your throat constricting involuntarily at the intrusion. you gagged, pulling away from him completely as you coughed, feeling your stomach do backflips.
if you couldn't take it properly without struggling, he decided, then ratio would just have to force you to take his cock to show you how it's done, even if you gag around him. his expression darkened as he pulled your head towards him, forcing himself deep into your mouth. you gagged almost immediately, your hands grabbing at his thighs as he controlled your head, forcing you to take more of his cock.
" you can't handle my size ? you're pathetic. a failure, " his voice was filled with disappointment and anger, and you could do nothing but look up at him, tears forming in your eyes from his bruising pace as he fucked your face without mercy. you couldn't breathe properly, struggling against him weakly, your nails digging into the flesh of his thighs, not out of disobedience for him, but because when humans feel as though they're dying or they can't breathe, they often try to fight to get their airway back, struggling uselessly.
" i'll show you how to please me properly, " ratio's hand pulled and pushed your head with your hair, his hips thrusting his cock deeper into your throat. your gagging is ignored as you choke around him. " fuck. yes, that's it. take it. learn to swallow my cock. learn to love it, " he threw his head back, groaning underneath his breath. " you can be so good at this, i know you can. "
he wasn't stopping, especially not when he was finally starting to feel good because of you, the pleasure building up inside of him. tears began to streak down your reddening face, your eyebrows creased together as you struggled. ratio fucked your face relentlessly, thrusting inside of your mouth and using you like his own personal fucktoy. finally, the resistance in your throat gave way after a particularly harsh thrust, and he penetrated your throat, his cock so deep inside of you that you couldn't breathe at all anymore. your eyes widened, your heart beating against your chest, the painful lesson beginning to take root.
despite the treatment, your slick was pooling between your thighs, creating a puddle of it beneath you. his rough treatment turned you on more than you'd ever thought possible.
ratio seemed to notice this, his tone holding a hint of amusement as he used your face, your nose pressed up against his pubic bone, his balls resting on your chin. " can't breathe ? perhaps you prefer i choke you completely like this ? you're enjoying it, craving it like a drug now. i must say, i find myself captivated by your abilities, too. "
you could feel your own helplessness, the power that he held over you surpassing even what you thought possible. you understood this lesson, although you could feel your head starting to fog up with the lack of air. you were trying desperately to find a way to breathe around his cock, but he was too deep in your throat, clogging up your airway. his guide on your head became painful as ratio invaded your body.
your eyes rolled back, your hands falling down to your side as you almost lost consciousness. finally, before you could truly lose yourself to the black abyss, he pulled your head up off of him, letting you gasp and choke, all of the spit that he was keeping in your mouth slipping down your lips, covering your chest and lap as you coughed up the air, blinking rapidly to familiarize yourself with being able to breathe again. your stomach was churning, and you damn near threw up everything that you had eaten for breakfast that morning. you felt weightless and incredibly heavy at the same time.
" you're a good girl. you learn quickly, " he smirked, his voice filled with satisfaction as he watched you catch your breath. finally, he stood up, his cock still throbbing painfully, ready to finally take what he'd wanted. " turn around, girl. "
that painful feeling in your head came back, causing you to wince in pain as he commanded you to turn around. finally agreeing, you turned around on your knees, looking away from him. his large hand pushed at your back, knocking you onto your hands, your ass up in the air for him to see. ratio had made himself comfortable with being in between your legs, his eyes admiring your naked form, seeing your pretty folds glistening with so much slick it was dripping down your thighs.
" such a pretty little thing. human bodies are beautiful beyond compare, even in the eyes to an aeon, but yours ? oh, yours is magnificent. truly, you are worthy of being by my side, " his voice was low as two of his fingers penetrated your wetness, testing your readiness for what was to come. he savored the feeling of your tightness around him, the way your muscles gripped his digits.
you gasped, letting out a whiny, pathetic little noise as you moaned, your back arching as his fingers hit that special spot inside of you, caressing it in such a way that had you drooling like a dumb mutt on your knees in seconds. his fingers moved rhythmically, his gaze on where they disappeared and reappeared from your body. the anticipation was building within him, and he found himself fucking you faster with his fingers, enjoying every tiny little mewl and whine of pleasure as it came from your bruised throat.
your cries of pleasure fueled him, the sight of you writhing, begging, and ultimately submitting to him was almost as satisfying as the power he held over you. " that's it. you're such a good girl. " without warning you, he pulled his fingers out from you, your body clenching around nothing as your moans quickly turned into gasps. " you're going to take me now, yeah ? submit to me, and i promise you a lesson that you'll never forget. "
your eyes widened, even though you knew ratio couldn't see it, and you felt your anxiety spike. " y-you can't..! i-it's too big, it'll break me, please ! " you begged, but your voice was falling on deaf ears as one of his hands gripped your hips, guiding his shaft to your entrance.
" your body is resilient, and i'm confident it'll accommodate me, " with a swift motion, he pushed into you, his cock stretching her wide. you cried out, your body tensing as he slowly withdrew and thrust again, just testing the waters of what you could and couldn't take. as his entire length disappeared inside of you, he couldn't stop his hips from snapping up, pounding his cock into you.
your scream of pleasure filled this vast library, a symphony of pain and pleasure. " a-ah, fuck..! your cock, i-its- it hu-hurts, 's too big.. " you sobbed, babbling on like an idiot, your words incomprehensible, your voice hiccupping in your throat. you were feeling like you were being split in half from him, like your body wasn't yours anymore. just like you suspected earlier, no other human man you'd had sex with previously compared to him, and you'd never quite be able to get fucked like this again if it weren't ratio.
ratio leaned down, his body pressed against yours, whispering in your ear, " you love this, yeah ? its painful, but it feels amazing. " his hips pumped faster, your cries echoing through the library with each thrust. your protests turned into pleas, your words lost in your ecstasy. " i want you to come for me. you'll cum again, and again, and again, until you belong to me entirely. you'll cum for me, and say my fucking name, " he promised.
you cried out, your sobs and moans mingling together as you struggled to figure out what you wanted to do, whether or not you wanted to pull him closer or force him away all at once. you were going to cum, and there was nothing you could do about it other than let him fuck you like he wanted to. pain and pleasure mingled together, but not so much as when he slammed into you with all of his body weight, the tightness of your body giving way as the head of his cock breached your womb. " v-veritas..! " you moaned out, and it all exploded within you, your pussy clenching around him as he fucked you through your orgasm, the pain of him breaching your womb and the pleasure of his fucking being far, far too much for you to take.
ratio grunted, feeling your walls squeeze around his cock as she came, milking him, too. the sensation was exquisite, his thrusts becoming frantic as he fucked himself into you as your arms gave out from underneath your, your face planting into the cold tile below. at this point, he was focused solely on his own gratification, pumping into you as your hips met his, your moans like a beautiful lullaby to his ears. " g-goddammit, " he swore, his balls drawing tight, his orgasm imminent at this point. he pulled your hips into his, his cock pulsing deep within you as his orgasm washed over him in waves, filling you completely with his seed, causing you to mewl out pitifully in response.
finally, he pulled out, his cum spilling out from your pretty pussy, dripping onto the floor beneath the two of you. he helped pick you up, cradling your body in his arms as the two of you rest at the foot of his throne together. you were nestled against his chest, your breathing coming out raggedly as you looked up at him, your eyes half closed and your body weak. ratio had breached you completely, filled you up in ways that you didn't even know possible. such was the ways of an aeon, you thought, unable to fight back against him even if you wanted to.
" you've taught me a lot about the human body, " ratio whispered, content just to hold you there, his voice holding a hint of vulnerability. " no, the human body, and perhaps the human mind, too. my own mind. thank you for this lesson, dear emanator. "
perhaps being an emanator didn't always mean that you held all of the power. after all, there will always be a being with more power than you.

I love dissecting Frodo's ("Lord of the Rings") personality and character arc through a Jungian lens, even if only as an amateur.
The One Ring, as an external object, represents the hidden darkness within all beings. It does not simply impose evil from the outside; rather, it reveals what already exists within, amplifying the ring bearer's deepest, often unconscious, desires for power, control, or survival. I see the Ring as both the Collective and the Personal Shadow in Jungian terms â a manifestation of the darkness that resides not only in individuals, but in all of Middle-earth.
By carrying the Ring, Frodo is in constant confrontation with his own Shadow â the hidden, darker aspects of the self, which Jung defines as "the thing a person has no wish to be". His journey, to me, is the psychological equivalent of undergoing Shadow work: he is forced to look into the abyss of his own nature, to confront his potential for greed, corruption, and even cruelty.
Unlike (my dear) Boromir, who denies his own susceptibility and is thus consumed by it, Frodo is well aware of his vulnerability. He knows what the Ring could turn him into, which is why he resists the temptation to use it. He has glimpsed the depths of his Shadow and understands its power. Because of this, he refuses to arm it. He knows that once he hands his Shadow a weapon, it may never let go. Thus, both in the books and in the movies, Frodo has not killed anyone. Professor Tolkien makes sure to remind us of it in "The Scouring of Shire".
Yet true individuation does not come from merely resisting the Shadow but from integrating it â acknowledging its presence without being ruled by it. This is the essence of Frodoâs transformation.
At the beginning of his journey, his understanding of morality is simplistic: good vs evil, deserving vs undeserving. He believes justice is about giving people what they âdeserve". We can see this in "The Shadow of the Past" of "The Fellowship of the Ring".
'What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature, when he had a chance!'
But as he carries the Ring (undergoes the shadow work), he realizes that the line between good and evil is not external â it runs through his own soul (subconscious).
By the time he returns to the Shire, he has changed in ways that make it impossible for him to reintegrate.
His final refusal to kill the ruffians and Saruman (in "The Scouring of Shire"), even after Saruman tries to stab him, shows the full "glory" of his transformation. He could act in anger, but he knows that doing so would only feed the very Shadow he has spent so long confronting. He has seen the full potential of The Shadow (both collective and his own), and thus, he does not wish to "entertain" it but arming it.
âAll the same,â said Frodo to all those who stood near, âI wish for no killing; not even of the ruffians, unless it must be done, to prevent them from hurting hobbits.â
But even as Saruman passed close to Frodo a knife flashed in his hand, and he stabbed swiftly. The blade turned on the hidden mail-coat and snapped. A dozen hobbits, led by Sam, leaped forward with a cry and flung the villain to the ground. Sam drew his sword. âNo, Sam!â said Frodo. âDo not kill him even now. For he has not hurt me. And in any case I do not wish him to be slain in this evil mood. He was great once, of a noble kind that we should not dare to raise our hands against. He is fallen, and his cure is beyond us; but I would still spare him, in the hope that he may find it.â Saruman rose to his feet, and stared at Frodo. There was a strange look in his eyes of mingled wonder and respect and hatred. âYou have grown, Halfling,â he said. âYes, you have grown very much. You are wise, and cruel. You have robbed my revenge of sweetness, and now I must go hence in bitterness, in debt to your mercy. I hate it and you! Well, I go and I will trouble you no more. But do not expect me to wish you health and long life. You will have neither. But that is not my doing. I merely foretell.â "The Scouring of the Shire", "The Return of the King"
Frodo has ventured deeper into himself than most ever will, and though he has integrated his Shadow, the wounds remain. This is why he cannot stay â his journey has taken him beyond what the Shire represents.
Jungian individuation is the process of becoming a whole, integrated self â embracing both the conscious and unconscious aspects of oneâs being. Frodo reaches this stage, but at a cost: wholeness does not mean happiness. His burden has re-shaped and changed him irrevocably, and though he has gained wisdom and knowledge of his "full" self, he has lost the ability to live as he once did.

A Letter to Self
Dear Future Me,
As I write this letter, my mind drifts to the deepest recesses of what it means to live a life of true meaning. Right now, I stand on the edge of the unknown, with a vision in my heart and a longing for something that feels both timeless and elusive. I feel the urgency of the moment, but also the understanding that this is not just a race to accomplish, but a journey of becoming.
I do not know where I will be when you read this letter, but I know that you are the culmination of all the choices I make today. The person you have become is the result of the small, quiet moments of reflection, the moments of profound silence, and the decisions to push through even when I felt lost. I hope you have not lost touch with the essence of who you are, for the journey ahead is not just about what we achieve, but about the way we evolve at the deepest level.
Health: A Sacred Vessel for the Soul At the core of my being is the understanding that health is not just the absence of illness but a sacred vessel that supports the unfolding of my purpose. It is not simply about eating the right foods or maintaining a routine; it is about honoring the very body that houses my soul. I feel an increasing awareness that health is intertwined with spiritual vitalityâthat what I feed my body, mind, and spirit creates the energy from which all else flows. I have worked to care for my body as an act of reverence, to move with intention, to breathe deeply, and to eat with gratitude. Yet, I know that true health goes beyond the physical. It lies in accepting my vulnerabilities, in cultivating emotional resilience, and in nurturing the peace within.
I hope that, by the time you read this, you have transcended the common notion of health. Have you come to understand that true vitality is a sacred alignment of the physical, mental, and spiritual planes? Do you still honor your body with the same reverence that you once set as your intention? Health is a daily commitment to being whole in every aspect of yourself, and I trust that youâve continued to care for your vessel with the wisdom that only deep reflection and experience can bring.
Creativity: The Expression of the Soul's Truth Creativity, for me, has become something far deeper than simply producing. It has become the expression of my soul's truth. Every word I write, every brushstroke I make, every idea I birth is not just a reflection of what I know, but a reflection of who I am. Iâm no longer driven by the desire to merely create for recognition or external approval, but because it is through creation that I remember myselfâthe raw, untamed essence of my being.
Iâve come to see creativity as an act of surrenderâto let go of control and allow the work to emerge from the deepest recesses of my heart. The journey of creativity has shown me that vulnerability is at its core, and it is only by being authentically exposed that I can produce something that truly resonates. I have faced the fear of judgment, the self-doubt that lingers like a shadow, but through it all, I have learned that creativity is not about perfectionâit is about truth. The truth of who I am, in each moment, in each breath.
Have you, by now, been able to create freely, without the weight of self-imposed expectations? Have you allowed yourself to simply create for the sake of being rather than doing? I trust that by now, your creative spirit has transcended the confines of the mind and entered into the realm of pure expression, where the boundaries between creator and creation no longer exist. May you be forever unafraid to express what lives in the deepest places of your soul, regardless of the outcome, for in that expression lies your freedom.
Long-Term Vision: The Pursuit of Meaning Beyond Success When I look into the future, I donât see a destination as much as I see a continuous unfolding. The world speaks of success, wealth, and status as though they are the ultimate goals of life, but I have come to realize that they are mere illusions compared to the true purpose of living. My vision is not simply to achieve, but to become. To become the person who is not just successful by external measures, but fulfilled at the deepest level. My goal is to live a life of meaning, one in which I serve not from a place of obligation, but from a place of love, generosity, and purpose.
This vision is not limited to material goals; it extends into the realm of soulful abundanceâa life lived with presence, awareness, and a deep commitment to contributing something of real value to the world. I understand that I am not just here to exist but to leave a legacyânot one of grand monuments or accolades, but one of quiet impact, where the ripples of my actions touch lives in ways I may never fully see.
Have you reached a place where your vision is no longer shaped by what others expect but by the pull of your own heart? Have you found the courage to pursue a life that feels aligned with your soulâs deepest desires, regardless of how unconventional it may appear to others? I trust that you are living in harmony with your truth, and that your work, whatever it may be, is not just fulfilling but deeply connected to the greater good. In your daily actions, do you embody the very values you hold dear? I hope so. For success is not measured by what we accumulate, but by the love and light we bring into the world.
Facing the Abyss: The Inner Journey of Transformation The most profound aspect of my lifeâs journey is perhaps the one that is the most difficult to articulateâthe internal transformation that takes place beneath the surface. This journey is not always visible to others, and sometimes, it is not even visible to me. But I know that this transformation is real. It is the shift from fear to courage, from lack to abundance, from confusion to clarity. It is the process of shedding old identities, beliefs, and limitations that no longer serve my highest self.
In these moments, when the world feels like it is crumbling or when doubt and fear grip my heart, I remember that true growth comes from surrenderingâsurrendering to the uncertainty of life, to the knowing that I do not have all the answers, and that I am not meant to. I have learned that trusting the process is the key to peace, and that in the darkest moments, there is always light waiting to emerge.
Have you fully surrendered to the unfolding of life, knowing that everything, even the most painful moments, is part of the grand design? Have you accepted that the challenges youâve faced are not obstacles to overcome, but the very soil from which your wisdom and growth have sprouted? I trust that youâve learned to let go of all that no longer serves you and embraced the unfolding of your true self, free from attachment to outcomes.
Relationships: The Sacred Dance of Connection The relationships I hold closest to my heart are the ones that remind me of who I am and why Iâm here. These connections are not defined by superficial exchanges, but by the deep, sacred bond that exists between two souls. Iâve learned that love is not just an emotion, but a sacred act of vulnerability, a constant flow of giving and receiving, where both individuals are free to be their most authentic selves.
In these relationships, I have come to understand the importance of both self-love and love for others. I cannot truly love others if I do not first love and honor myself. This is a profound truth that continues to unfold. Have you, by now, mastered the art of presenceâof truly being with others in moments of silence, joy, and grief? Have you let go of expectations and embraced the beauty of unconditional love? I trust that you have nurtured your relationships with the depth, care, and love they deserve.
The Unfolding Journey I cannot know exactly what the future holds. But I do know this: I am here to become. To evolve. To step into the fullest expression of my soul's purpose. This journey is not about destination, but about becoming more authentically me with every step I take. I trust that wherever you are, you are living in alignment with this deep truth.
May you look back with gratitude for the pain and the joy, for all that has shaped you into who you are today. And as you move forward, may you do so with courage, faith, and a deep, unshakable knowing that you are exactly where you need to be.
With all my love, faith, and trust in the unfolding of your journey,
Sincerely Yours

AFTERTHOUGHT ââ
Ëâ
Who were you if not unremarkable? You had finally come into terms that you are someone who was meant to stay in everyoneâs shadow, but not until you met Caleb, or so you thought.
cw/tags: PART 2 of this, university au, non-mc reader, frat guy caleb (but not really important), angst, jealousy, self-loathing (please just lmk if i missed more cw, i just cant identify more as of now)
note: i dont know what im writing but im enjoying it, so suffer (kidding). the guy that inspired me to write this recently posted smth, so I HAD TO. he looks good and i hate it. nway, this might be shorter than i originally planned bcs 1) i might cut some parts 2) univ is so demanding
word count: 865
Scrolling through your archives, you saw a picture you took a year agoâone in the range where the archery team in your university frequented. It reminded you of the fact that it was around the same time when you started to orbit around Caleb's circle.
The first time you saw him was when you were thirty minutes late for orientation of the organization that you wanted to join. At first, you didn't notice him at all because you were too embarrassed to look around. I mean you were late and had to walk towards the front since there were no seats available near the entrance. Where's a catastrophe when you need one?
Anyway, after you introduced yourself as someone whose desire is to advocate for human rights, you finally had the chance to look aroundâyou saw him immediately. Why? Someone that tall couldn't go unnoticed. His looks alone could prove the existence of a divine creature; God probably pats himself to congratulate himself whenever he sees Caleb.
You thought that would be last time you'd see him. It wasn't.Â
After gushing over him to your friend, you found that he's also in the archery team. They were literally teammates, so being the ever-supported she is, she devised a plan: you'd be tagging along during their training sessions.
And that started it all.
Initially, you started questioning why you even agreed to this since it wasn't like you were desperate to find someone right at the moment. However, after several attempts of your friend, Zan, urging you to push through, you accepted defeat. Plus, it wasn't that bad of an ideaâyou have a crush on him, so why not?
The plan was to present yourself as someone carefree and effortlessly cool. That was the plan. But fate is cruelâsuch a dramatic conclusionâbecause when Caleb arrived, you didn't even get to say âhiâ at him. Your reason? Nothing, you just happen to not be able to say anything because you froze. God forbid your mouth that seems to automatically work every inconvenient moment stops working the moment you needed to be social.
It was embarrassing, even for you.Â
A voice suddenly came from your back knocking you off your little reminiscing moment. You looked around to see MC approaching with a frown. There she was again, looking like an angel sent in the world of mortals as an apology for every sin that everyone had committed. You pondered every day how someone can be your friend at all too.
âLost your hearing?" she said laced with sarcasm and affection.âI missed you," she sighed dramatically as she tried to take away your supply of oxygen with her embrace.
âOh, dear, I know."Â
"Can we go get lunch together? I ditched Caleb for today.âÂ
Oh. They were supposed to eat together? You didn't know what to feel as your stomach formed a circus within its premises. It felt funny and unsettling. To be honest, you're a fool for even getting surprised with how they do the most mundane things with each other. You hated yourself for having such thoughts because you guys were perfect as friends. It's starting to feel as if you were the problem with all these negative thoughts that you concoct nonstop.
âServes him right,â you laughed as if you didn't bear any thoughts you just had, "but I don't think I can join you today, MC.â
You had to decline her but not because of your self-loathing! It just happens that you have to finish a group presentation today with people you barely know. Another challenge for you.
You heard her sigh dramaticallyâit almost made you laugh. Her theatrics never seemed to be on a time out. Truthfully, you wanted to be with her, too, because it might remind you more of the reasons why you were in each other's lives.
âTrust me, if this shit wasn't so important, I'd choose to eat with you." You tried to defend yourself to not make it seem like it wasn't out of willingness that you won't join her.
âI know, it's just, you know you're too busy these days. I mean, I know why because you're such an exceptional woman but still!â
You? Exceptional? Those words being in a same sentence doesn't feel right at all. Was she blind?
âYouâre trying to flatter me! But I'll call you once my schedule lets me. I promise, MC.â
She sighed defeatedly as she bid her goodbye. You really did feel bad for not having been with her for such a time. You missed the times when you didn't feel comparatively smaller to her.
You walked for minutes. Gosh, didn't know university was a field for you to battle with so much stairs. But as you neared towards the range, you heard a familiar voice.
âI mean, I don't even know how I managed to put up with her.â
Was that him?
âDidn't you approach her only because you were trying to recruit someone that time?"Â
You knew that voice, a senior of yours and MCâs. They were laughing. You had a bad feeling brewing up.Â
All was confirmed when the first voice spoke again.
It was him.
Caleb.
