What pet names would Heartsteel use for their S/O? And what pet names would they like to be called?

Inspiration: None honestly, I’ve just been thinking about it and I think it would be cute.

Genre: Headcanon

Category: Like 95% fluff with one of the member’s (LOL Kayn’s) going a little suggestive. But definitely not like full NSFW.

Gender: 99.999% Gender Neutral, but there might be an occasional parentheses with optional gender specific language for those that are comfortable with it. (Believe me, I get it, I’m non-binary so I do try and keep things as GN! as possible!)

TW: A bit suggestive for Kayn’s, so just to be on the safe-side let’s go 18+ ONLY. MINORS DNI. A mention of alcohol. Also swearing because I swear. 🤷🏼‍♀️

A/N: This will be a bit shorter but that’s just because we have to get through all members both calling and being called pet names.

Aphelios

Pet names for his partner:

I think his pet names for his partner would be very sweet!

Of course there are the classics like “baby” or “babe.” I feel like there are the main ones he’d stick to in public. Another one he’d use in public is “honey.”

But in private I think that’s when his soft side would really come out.

He’d enjoy “cutie,” especially if he knows it makes you blush.

He’s a creative guy, and I think he’d also have some creative pet names.

Especially if he’s trying to turn up the romance/soften you up for something.

Ex: “Starlight,” “sunlight,” “my sun/sunshine/sunlight…”

And if he’s feeling sassy? You “goober” (with a smile and eye roll).

Pet names from his partner:

Just as he likes to call his partner sweeter pet names, I think he’d also like to be called sweeter pet names.

Although again, I think the sweetest ones he’d like you to reserve for him in private.

So “babe,” “baby,” “honey,” and maybe “love” it is in public.

“Cutie” is one he’d secretly love. He’d roll his eyes with the typical Phel sass but you see the way the tops of his ears turn pink.

And you know how he’s creative? Well don’t be afraid to get creative back!

You could make him melttttt with a pet name.

Like “my moon” or go full out with “my moon and stars.” (Especially in response to him calling you “my sun/sunshine.”) His internal response is: :))))

A way to playfully tease him for staying so late at the studio is to call him your “owl/night owl.” (He loves it).

Ezreal

Pet names for his partner:

Pet names with Ez would be so PLAYFUL.

And they would definitely start early on in your relationship.

Even on dates in public he’d be more open with pet names. (Though of course because of who he is both of you are a little incognito with hats, sunglasses, masks, etc...)

Why can I see him calling you something like “pumpkin,” “honeybunch,” “sugar,” “cupcake,” (LISTEN IT’S NOT JUST VI’s NICKNAME FOR CAITLYN DAMNIT) or “peanut?” (Even if you’re taller than him it does not matter, you’re his peanut.)

Lmao Kayn once heard Ez call you “honeybunches” and he was FLABBERGASTED. 😂

Omfg he would absolutely use pet names when trying to get something. Pet names and a pout? The man knows what he’s doing.

Absolutely loves that his pet names make you blush so easily, especially if he whispers them in your ear.

He’s such a lovable menace and I adore him.

Pet names from his partner:

OH THIS? THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.

Because our man Ezreal can absolutely take as good as he gives.

An obvious one would be “bunny.” (Listen have you seen his smile on the cover art?)

When you called him “bubba” and your “love bug” for the first time, his face lit up like a kid in a candy store.

The more chaotic, the better to catch his attention.

We’re talking shit like “dreamboat,” “goober,” or “cutie-patootie.”

The first time Kayn heard you call Ez “dreamboat” water came out his NOSE he was so surprised.

Will love whatever pet name use because whatever you call him, he’s yours!

Kayn

(A/N: Alright listen this went a little suggestive but LORD help me I think he’d be SHAMELESS with pet names. 😳😏)

Pet names for his partner:

Out of all the members, I feel like Kayn would give the least amount of shits about hiding a relationship in public.

So he’s definitely not holding back from calling you pet names in public (now of course the man is smart enough to know which ones are better to keep private).

But “Babe?” ✅ “Baby? (Baby girl)” ✅ “Angel?” ✅ All totally fair game in public.

In PRIVATE??? 😏😏 Oh my friend get readyyyyy.

This man is a TEASE and you know he’s using pet names as a way to really fluster you. (Though of course he’s being sincere with them.)

Like “hottie,” “kitten,” (CAN YOU IMAGINE??) and “sexy.”

“Sexy” is like the most common pet name he uses for you PERIOD. Ex: Basically every day when he gets home he greets you with a kiss and a soft “Hey, sexy….”

More gender specific, if you were comfortable with it, he’d 100% call you “prince” or “princess.” (Someone get me a FAN 🥵.)

Pet names from his partner:

I think whatever his partner called him would be….not necessarily critical to Kayn, but it would still mean quite a bit.

I think he considers some pet names a little bit like affirmations, in a way. Like when he calls you “hottie” or “sexy” it’s because that’s how he sees you (appearance-wise) and he wants you to KNOW that’s how he sees you.

PLEASE do the same with him!!

Hearing YOU call him “hottie,” “sexy,” or “handsome” immediately banishes any insecurities he might have in the back of his mind.

And you cannot tell me he doesn’t love hearing any of those pet names whispered/murmured in his ear as you wrap your arms around him. I just don’t believe you.

Absolutely call him “Babe” in public. He loves that shit. I don’t think he’d mind if you called him “handsome” or “hottie” in public either, but those would be more for like when you two are having a convo together in a public space, if that makes sense. “Babe” would be to capture his attention.

Random: In private, besides calling him “sexy,” he secretly loves some of the older-school pet names. Like if you want him to MELT? Go old school.

“Darling?” His insides are a puddle and he’s ready to do whatever you need him to do.

(LMAO I had wayyyy to much fun with this, but his headcanon was what made me think about the rest of the group and what they’d like!)

K’Sante

Pet names for his partner:

I think he’s fine with using pet names in public. Like maybe nothing wild but he’s not going to necessarily hide you (though of course he’ll do what he needs to do to keep you safe).

K’Sante could use a mix of “old-school” pet names with more modern ones.

“Babe” is the primary one he uses in public.

Could totally see him using something sweet like “squish” or “boo.” (The mental image of this giant man using something like “Boo” is just amazing.)

If he helps you with an outfit, once you’re done dressing he’d absolutely be like “damn look at you, my model. You look phenomenal.”

Would absolutely use “handsome,” “beautiful,” “gorgeous,” or “stunner.”

I fully believe this man is an excellent cook. And because of that, he’d definitely throw some food-themed pet names in there. I’m thinking “pancake” or “peaches.”

Pet names from his partner:

Again, this man doesn’t really care if you call him pet names in public. Have you seen his sheer size?? People would be insane to mess with him and you (I’m thinking Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift vibes here).

So go for it! Call him “babe” or “baby.”

After they debuted, you affectionately teased him by calling him “hot shot.” Jokes on you though because he actually really likes that one now.

As we’ve discussed, K’Sante can cook along with being hella stylish. So he acts annoyed but really loves it when you sidle into the kitchen and say something like, “What’s cookin’, good lookin’?”

Again, this man knows how to DRESS. Loves hearing you call him “handsome” as you help him with some last touches on a look.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I get such good energy from Heartsteel K’Sante. I feel like he’d give excellent hugs and be your A+ “teddy bear.”

Likes some of the joking pet names you call him! Like when you thank your “stylist” after he helps you get an outfit together and get dressed. (Because let’s be real, he’ll probably have the better fashion sense in the relationship, that’s just how it goes.)

One that doesn’t quite work due to it being tied to pop culture in our world but the VIBE fits: “Hercules.” (Or “HUNK”-ules as the one muse would say.)

Sett

Pet names for his partner:

This man 👏🏻 LOVES 👏🏻 PET NAMES.

To the point that you don’t remember the last time he used your name. In fact, if he uses your name, it’s a clear indicator something is WRONG.

Will definitely use some of the classics in public like “babe” or “baby.”

He’d definitely get creative too. Like you know how he’s “the big boss?” (Hehehe lyric tie-in DUH).

If you ever came to visit him somewhere while he’s working, he’d jokingly call you his “assistant” as he pulls you into a big hug.

Ex: “Oh hey! It’s my amazing assistant who so kindly brought me lunch! How’s your day going so far, baby?” (He wouldn’t keep calling you his assistant throughout the interaction. It’s more of just a funny little greeting for when he first sees you.)

In private, he loves to use “angel,” “doll,” “sexy,” “beautiful/handsome,” or “sugar.” (Would also use “Prince/Princess” if you’re comfortable with it.)

He really knows how to make his partner smile and blush from pet names LET ME TELL YOU.

Pet names from his partner:

Just as much as he loves using pet names on you, he LOVES when you use pet names on him!!

Only call him Sett (or even more so, Settrigh) if something is wrong. You’ll get his attention INSTANTLY.

Of course, “babe,” “baby,” and “honey” are a-ok for use in public. I also think he wouldn’t mind a couple other creative ones being thrown in there every once in a while, even in public

An obvious one to use for him is “boss.” (My parents call each other “boss” and it’s actually very sweet!)

I feel like Sett would have a really romantic side (I mean, Mama didn’t raise her son to be a jackass of a partner here).

So when he does let that romantic side show, call him “Prince Charming” and watch his face light up. (I know that’s technically a pop-culture reference, but Prince and charming could feasibly come together in a world without Cinderella. Another pop-culture one that doesn’t work as well (unless we imagine Shakespeare existing in Runeterra) is “Romeo.” But the vibe fits Sett so I’m including it here.)

Another one who loves it when you call him “sexy” or “handsome.” (And you do it often because HOW COULD YOU NOT??)

Feel free to get creative, especially when you’re alone. Sweet or otherwise, he just loves hearing what names you create for him.

Yone

Pet names for his partner:

Yone is interesting. See, to me he has the highest likelihood of using more “traditional” pet names.

But make no mistake, traditional doesn’t mean boring.

The AFFECTION he puts into the pet names he calls you!!! (Like I’m going mushy just thinking about it.)

He’d be very low-key in public. Like maybe a soft “love,” “honey,” or “dear.” Usually though, it’s your name. (Hey he loves saying your name! Your name makes him happy.)

In private is really where his soft side shines and he’s much more verbally affectionate.

“My love,” “sweetheart,” “my beloved,” and “darling” are big favs of his to use.

He’d absolutely have a couple surprisingly cheesy ones. Like “pumpkin,” “dumpling,” or “sunflower.”

Always loves your reactions to him using pet names for you, especially your delighted expression when he uses the cheesier ones!

Pet names from his partner:

In a similar way to using “old-fashioned” pet names for you, I think he’d love it if you used some of the same ones for him!

Especially in public. I just see him as one of the more private members. But in public feel free to call him “love,” “honey,” or even “babe/baby” when you’re talking together.

Loves when you’re soft with him in private. This man works so very hard and sometimes he just needs some good cuddles and loving pet names.

Enjoys being your “darling,” “lovey,” and your “genius.”

And you have him wrapped around your little finger the second you say “My love…”

I talked about in my last headcanon how I absolutely think Yone loves to cuddle in private (and maybe when he’s drunk but that’s a different story).

You’ve started calling him “koala” because of how cuddly he gets and he secretly LIVES FOR IT.

But he will deny it to his dying breath if you accidentally say it in front of the guys. (Lmao you think Ez and Kayn are going to let him live that down??)

Thank you very much for reading! It’s been really fun to get back into creative writing now that I have this new account! 😊

Promise Me - EZ Reyes x Reader (NSFW)

Tagging: @annetje @infinity-mars @danzer8705 @im-just-a-mississippi-girl @est1887 @the-wandering-lunatic @alwaysachorusgirl @anime-weeb-4-life @vannabanana1995 @multifandomloversworld @camelia35 @queeniesdiary @lilvampirina @princessghost-24 @genius2050 @mortal--soul @buddinglinguist @spookyboogyuniverse @spaghettificationandpretzels @oureternalbond @sclitvdes @appreciatelove @weiwei0210

It’s slow the way EZ loves you, gentle and methodical. He chases the shape of your body with large palms and heated fingertips that trail over the scars that ended your career as a dancer. His lips follow suit, brushing over the indented skin as he parts your thighs. There isn’t a part of you he doesn’t find beautiful, every mark tells a story, every blemish another chapter. He learns to read them as if they’re his favourite novel, memorising your hitched breathing and needy whimpers.

You’re a work of art, the finest poetry and the sweetest fucking thing he’s ever feasted on.

When he enters you, he feels fucking alive for the first time in almost a decade. His senses are ablaze, his synapses erupting with a thousand tiny sparks as he draws you closer. His hands are everywhere, touching, stroking, kneading, anything to keep the skin to skin contact as he makes love to you in freshly laundered sheets. He kisses you like the world is about to end, as if his life depends on it and he needs the sensation of you just to survive. He swallows down your moans and drinks in your pleasure, chasing that ecstasy until he has you on the cusp.

Desperate, wanton, for him, only for him, you tell him.

It drives him over the edge, he spills his release into you, looking into your eyes as you fall with him. It’s like tumbling over a cliff face, reckless and exhilarating all at the same time. In the moment he clutches you close, his forehead coming to rest upon yours as he tries to catch his breath. He’s overwhelmed and overwrought, there’s an ache in his chest because he knows there’s no going back after tonight. He’s so fucking in love with you, it hurts.

“Hey, hey.” You whisper against the corner of his mouth. “I’m right here with you, ok?”

He can’t speak, can’t bring himself to voice the emotions that are resonating through him. He looks at you helplessly and he knows that you see it, knows that you understand that he’s struggling, that it’s all too much and not enough at the same time.

“Hey, I love you EZ.” You tell him earnestly. “That’s not going to go away anytime soon.”

“Promise me.” He murmurs against your lips, his thumb trailing over the apple of your cheek. “Promise me that you mean it when you say it.”

“I mean it darling boy,” You say, your lips ghosting over the base of his palm. “I love you Ezekiel Reyes.”

Love EZ? Get added to his tag list!

[raayllum]

i desperately need your sweetest headcanons of ez and rayla being Siblings

Mandatory Rayla&Ezran brotp tag drop here & first some rambly meta cause like, a lot of this is based on the concept(s) of Ezran and Rayla fundamentally being more like each other than either of them are like Callum

Like they both grew up friendless (whereas Callum seems to have a lot more ease in actually interacting with new people & I've always HC'd him having less friends out of choice, cause those potential ppl didn't get along wit his brother) and feeling perpetually different, they both (like Claudia) take on their parents' previous paths and feel the weight of it. They also tend to have a lot of similar esque insecurities and hangups ("I feel like I'm letting everyone down" 3x03 —> "I failed them, I let them all down" 3x04 / "It's not fair you have to go through this alone" 5x02 —> "I knew I had to be strong alone" in 5x04 / self blame tendencies with "You knew? I'm an idiot! I should've figured it out" 2x08 —> "Ugh, I'm such an idiot. I should've figured it out" 1x09) and are both very much bleeding hearts. They're also willing to pivot away from prior missions (bringing Zym home) for causes they see as more worthy in a lot of ways — going home to rule (the individual collective) and freeing Phyrrah (the individual stranger) — even if that separates them from others and/or puts them more at risk, cause they're just loyal to causes and ideals and self-imposed responsibilities tethered to those concepts like that? I love them

Like they both are like Callum — Ezran is emotionally open and inclined towards vulnerability, like him, which Rayla is not, and Callum and Rayla, esp in arc 1, take on responsibilities that Ezran do not & all their stuff with adoptive dads and communication etc etc. — but they're also more similar to each other than they are to him. More on that here & here + bonus S5 hammering that in more than ever (Rayla going with Ezran's plan in 5x05 anyone?)

Now onto the actual headcanons

Rayla doesn't have a lot of patience for games (cards, chess, etc.) and will be a sore loser/give up when playing with just about anyone else (including Callum) but she can never say no to Ezran over it, and he's so earnest/having such a great time she can never be a total grump when they do play games together

Ezran is the one who primarily took care of her Shadowpaw, for obvious reasons, in the castle stables until she returned, hence why sweetie pie was waiting for her & ready for the Lux Aurea trip

The little archangel lunaris on his backpack was absolutely chosen with her in mind <3

Both Rayla and Ezran possess an abundance of faith in other people, and this is shown best when they're being supportive of or defending one another ("She'll know what to do" —> "He can do this, we have to believe in him" —> "She's alive. And wherever she is, she loves you too")

Rayla weaving a little braid into his hair and having Ezran weave one into hers as well because braids are for love and family, and they are certainly both to one another

This shitpost, which is really just them getting stuck on and continually adding to dumb bits for each other to laugh at

Playing pranks back and forth on Soren and sometimes on Callum

Mostly they just tag team chores like "making sure Callum has eaten and slept and left his study recently" / keeping their favourite mage out of his head

Rayla giving Ezran stealth lessons and Ezran having Rayla bake jelly tarts with him

They always insist on being on the same team when it comes to snowball fights at the Banther Lodge

Ez loves to infodump about certain things and Rayla loves to let him, especially since his trains of thought and ramblings are a bit easier for her to follow than his brother's (most of the time)

Rayla having Ezran teach her how to notice things about illusion animals so she can have an easier time telling the difference (Soren teases her about it and she socks him in the stomach)

This isn't really so much of a headcanon as it is a canon observation but in battle sequences Callum doesn't really usually focus (outside of when he's using said magic to protect Ezran) on getting Ezran away from the danger, instead trusting Rayla to do so — and she always does (1x06, 1x08, 1x09, 2x04, 5x09)

Because she's just his friend and not his subject (or for now, an official member of his council the same way), Ezran finds himself seeking out when he just needs to have dumb kid fun, and Rayla is always down to help him

On that note she's very good at knowing when he needs space vs when he's okay being fussed over (Callum, Opeli) and telling people that even when he may not be able to express it himself because non-verbal times / feeling overwhelmed

Whenever they go on roadtrips in the future, Rayla does her best to bring special snacks around for him (and teach him how to forage, which animals can help him with too)

Eventually when Ezran is a little older, Soren needles him about learning how to defend himself, and Ezran dreads having to hold a sword and initially refuses. But Rayla plops down beside him and talks him through it and reaffirms that they just always want to make sure he's safe, and that's what gets him to come around to the idea

Ezran and Rayla both being physically affectionate people — Rayla slinging her arm along his shoulders, Ezran often grabbing her hand as a sign of support (most often the one she was going to lose to the binding) and squeezing gently, like a reminder that they're both still here and everything's okay and/or going to be alright

Rayla tears up when she realizes that Ezran is finally taller than her, much to his mild annoyance and amusement

Ezran helps Rayla with her proposal to Callum, and does not tell her (or his brother) that Callum is also planning to propose lmao

*✊🏾knock👊🏾 ✊🏾knock👊🏾*

you may want to consider changing the locks cause I'm getting far too comfortable with the unannounced pop by.

and like all "overstayed their welcome house guests" I have demands a request

Number 17 with EZ. No, Bishop. No, Happy. No, Manny.

actually you've been such a generous host, you pick, whoever you like, I wouldn't want to put you out after all 🤣🤣🤣 *sorry sarcasm is my first language but I'm serious about those locks, I'm no good at subtle hints, send me packing whenever.

Babe, at this point in the house of DDD, you have your own little reading nook, furnished with snacks and drinks of your choice! You will never be unwelcome around here! Apologies that this took me about 900 years to get around to, life is busy, my friend! I hope you enjoy it, though :)

Slight smut below the cut, minors DNI!

"Oh, what was that I heard? A needy little whine, hmm?"

"Please, Manny."

A baleful rumble echoes his throat, his chuckle deeper in pitch than that of a tiger's low growl of warning, and ten times more predatory. "Y'all really saying please to me now, after I told you not to behave like a brat?"

Another little whine escapes your lips, Manny smirking at your chagrin, leaning forward in his seat, the chair creaking. He reaches for you, fingers hooking beneath the intricate bindings of the bondage rope he has to bound with, your arms lashed behind your back, the tight constriction fuelling your arousal. As he knew it would.

Looking down at where his cock fills the front of his jeans, he then lifts his head, watching your eyes take it in, hungry for the hardness you know he shan't be unleashing and putting anywhere near you yet. You won't feel him fill you where you're wet and needy, and it's torture. The sweetest kind.

"Dying for it, aren't you, brat?"

"I am."

He grins, looking down at his leg, dark eyes flitting back to yours, blinking slowly, the sight of his long, dark lashes fluttering a display of divine beauty. “The only way you’re getting off is on my thigh.” His hand grips the rope, pulling you down astride it, the denim coarse against your soft folds. "Look like someone's gon' be grinding herself there, don't it?"

You nod.

"Oh, and by the way," he begins in a breathy whisper, his lips planting a single, soft kiss against your throat, his hold on your bindings tightening, "you aren't allowed to look away, not even once."

[barbieaemond]

Even if your blog became solely focused on Larys I would still follow you. This is how much I adore you and your works.

I'm glad you are back, and as both an Aemond and an Aegon girlie, I am so happy you are one of us ♡

Oh my, Ez thank you! You’re the sweetest! I have to tell you, I checked your blog once or twice in the past few months to see if you were back and I’m so, so glad you did! Lots of love to you 💕💕

[void-imp]

OLLY! LOOK, JABBINGTON – i suggested him 🥹👉👈

OMG 😭💖💖💖 EZ you are the sweetest person in the world, omg... 🥹💖

[mooshymello]

I WANNA HEAR MORE ABOUT YOUR OCS

omg its happening I'm being asked about my ocs-

so these 2 are tovanni and ezran, Tova is mine and Ezran is my writer wife Addie’s💖 we did an rp with them during lockdown and haven’t been able to put them down since

I mentioned this briefly, but they go to a magical academy called Lunavishire. Tovanni TaChauer is a mostly-human witch who comes from high magic society. Her family is old money and owns a company selling bottled enchantments, the modern, commercialized version of fairy godmothers. She’s spent more time in boarding and magic prep schools than she has with her parents, being shown off at any number of events to be the prodigy heiress of the TaChauer legacy, sure to lead the company towards a bright future.

Tova wants to open a flower shop.

Of course, she tells nobody until she meets Ez. Ezran Lee Grey is a giant from the normal world who inherited magic from his late mother. His dad isn’t magic, but runs a creature care facility with witches who teach Ez about it. Ezran rooms with Tova at Lunavishire (omg they were roommates :0), where he’s going to formally practice magic for the first time and hopefully open his own facility someday. Since he didn’t grow up in the highly competitive magic world, he feels a little out of place, on top of being naturally shy. He’s the sweetest ever I adore him with my entire heart

The OG story takes place during the Penumbral Solstice, a season when magic is stronger. Lunavishire requires all students to use the extra magic for an end-of-term demonstration. For her project, Tova tries an old spell meant to summon a familiar. Unfortunately, she did the spell in her room while ez was there, and instead of binding her familiar, she bound with him, so now neither of them can get too far from the other without extreme pain. The spellbook tova was following turns out to have been for black magic, and they’d get expelled if anyone found out. The story follows them trying to undo the curse, falling in love, almost dying at least 3 times, and passing their finals😊

The pictures I’ve posted on this account are from an AU/rewrite where tova is more of a pretentious asshole bc when we wrote the OG the only character I knew how to write was ‘socially awkward goofball’, which didn’t leave a lot of room to develop. plus assholes are fun to write😈 in that version Tova is a magic duelist, and it's more a fake dating +enemies to lovers situation since tova has *ahem* a certain reputation and there's no other reason she would hang out around this nobody if they weren't hooking up (and that's easier to explain than being cursed)

I don’t think I’d ever post the full OG story bc its 650+ pages of unedited RP, but I maybe I'll post some of the one shots I’ve written of them? Thanks for letting me rant about my ocs!!!

[mxvanrichten]

So much happened in last night's session. My brain is VIBRATING. As soon as I get off work, I gotta do my long rest journal entry for Silas. But my brain is going crazy and I just needed to word vomit.

Gonna describe some things that happened the best I can as they come to my memory, so they may be out of order of when they happened during the session:

Spoilers below the break:

- We know how to reconsecrate the three Fanes now.

- We met Exathanther, He's actually so sweet. His mind is wiped by his own doing because he made a deal with the same entity Kasimir did and wanted to forget, but we found out who he is through things around the library in the Amber Temple.

- So yeah, Kasimir found the vestige he was looking for, accepted it's offer and told us finally it was for his sister. We're all kinda pissed at him right now. Rudolph definitely yelled at him and told him he was being a selfish idiot. (Silas was afraid that Rudolph felt the same about him since he took the deal with Sykane. He asked him about it and Rudolph told Silas he doesn’t see him the same as he sees Kasimir because Silas did it in a tough moment in order to be alive again, and Kasimir is doing it for incredibly useless and selfish reasons for someone that doesn't even deserve to be brought back.)

- Also, at one point in the library Brandy found some books with names. She looked up her former lover Samuel, who she's been trying to track down. She thought she chose to come to Barovia to find him. Turns out he's been in Krezk, he was taken in and infected with lycanthropy. He ended up liking the people in his pack, they are helping Strahd and eventually, he told Strahd about where to find Brandy. Brandy was apparently with us, and they decided we were the group he wanted brought to Barovia to toy with. So basically FUCK SAMUEL, WE'RE KICKING HIS ASS ON SITE.

- We're also mad at Kasimir because when he say the sarcophagi he was looking for he ran straight for it instead of checking on Brandy when she was super hurt even though she's been super kind to him. Lil asshole. "Men are shit" - Brandy Looking Glass

- Silas and Rudolph took watch together for the first time in a while. They talked about notes Silas had taken from some of the books in the library, how they're sus of Kasimir, the wedding at Ravenloft they received an invite for and how Rudolph wants to go, but isn't sure that's going to go well. Silas made them tea, and he complimented it. Silas asked him that if things go wrong and he can't get out of his deal with Sykane if he'd please kill him because he knows he'd be the only one he could trust to actually do it. Rudolph agrees. Silas tells him he's welcome to no longer travel with the group if he feels it's best, but adds in that he would miss him and enjoys his company. Of course, Rudolph just kinda hmphs at Silas saying he'd miss him, but he tells Silas he thinks he's capable and that the rest of the group is as well. Silas also said, "We make a good team." But promptly, nervously is like "ummm, I mean like all of us." 😭🙈🙈🙈

- Ezmerelda is the queen of being the sweetest angel and bad ass bitch simultaneously. During her watch with Brandy she told her she's gonna help her find a new quarterstaff since the one she has was crafted by Samuel. Of course, first Brandy is gonna beat his ass with it, and Ez will gladly help.

- Then....drumrollllllll....we found the SUNSWORD!!! It's bad ass asf and we gave it to Brandy! So we're ready to gtfo our the temple and hopefully we can get out without having to have a run in with three remaining flame skulls.

And woooo we're level 9 now!!

[garbageforyou]

SPOILERS for Woven by Gold

AGGGGGGGG

Rejected by two fae princes….oh you know what I’m talking about. Listen, I’m a Day girl (and an Ez girl but this is not about him right now) all the way. Love me a blonde himbo, also ugh he’s the sweetest.

But this chapter makes me so sad, first, Kel is SO mean. Why Rosalina takes his crap, I’ll never understand. He doesn’t want you, time to find someone who does. So when she’s going to Dayton, I was hoping she wasn’t doing it out of spite. Then she goes and calls him “Kel”. Poor Day Day.

Imma need a reading break before I can forgive Rosalina 😤

[chimpukampu]

So I know it been a long while since you've talked about it or drawn anything for it, but I suddenly remember your Rayllum x Mermaid AU and wondered if you ever made any more artwork of that AU you didn't get around to posting?

I do! Sadly, they got purged (along with my other old wips) when my PC got reformatted by accident 😥

I was actually planning to make a short fanfic about it (coz making it as a comic will take lots of time) but decided to drop it for a number of reasons - (1) I don't have enough free time and head space to create a series and stick with the schedule, (2) I'm still suffering from a writer's block. I can't write a coherent narrative lol, (3) I have too many art WIPS and I prefer to focus on them than writing, (4) It ain't short anymore XD

The drafts that I wrote for this Mermaid AU goes like this:

It's a modern AU where Rayla, who was about to get home from a club activity, witnessed a 'crime scene' & almost died escaping. The suspect shot her with a tranq dart, but there was something laced in the tranq that transformed her into a mermaid

Callum, a young fisherman from Evenere, saw an unconscious Mermaid!Rayla on the shore & brought her to his home.

Callum and Ez's parents died in a boat accident a year ago, so they've been living alone since then.

Rayla wasn't able to tell the boys about the truth coz the boys were blabbering about The Little Mermaid stuff, so she decided to roll with it lol

Rayla doesn't know how to swim using her tail, and she has a thalassophobia, so she's pretty much a failure of a mermaid lmao

Which confuses the boys coz what kind of mermaid is afraid of deep water?

Rayla wanted to leave the boys coz she doesn't want to become a burden, how Callum was nothing but a gentleman and Ez was the sweetest person in the world, but at the same time she doesn't want to coz they suck at household chores XD

They can't even survive a single day in the wild! - Rayla, presumably

The boys were so amazed that Rayla knows about plumbing to operating appliances like microwaves and washers. And Rayla was like "I just pushed the buttons", or "I just followed the instructions."

Rayllum will become a thing eventually. Only if they stopped being idiots

Claudia is a practicing vet in Drakewood & she often gets calls from Callum asking how to take care of a 'fish he rescued' to 'how can I tell my fish that she's cute?'

They found out about Rayla's true identity when they saw a news on TV about a missing girl who looks uncannily like Rayla...

[writerblue275]

Heartsteel with an insecure plus-size partner (18+)

Inspiration: This is extremely self-indulgent, but I haven’t been feeling great about myself lately and I need a little reminder that I am, in fact, a sexy and beautiful bad bitch. Anyone else who needs a reminder, this one is for you too. We’re beautiful no matter what.

Champions: Heartsteel

Genre: Headcanons

Category: Like 98% Fluff with some implied smut/suggestiveness so (18+ ONLY. Minors DNI)

Gender: Gender Neutral Reader

TW: Swearing. Suggestive stuff. Self-thought body negativity at points and brief mentions of disordered eating behaviors.

Context: In this instance, reader feels bad about themselves for being curvy and this is how the boys would respond. Just remember, we’re all beautiful. Let’s take care of ourselves like the boys would want us to.

All of them:

If someone specific made you feel bad about yourself?

Like they said something rude or nasty to you?

They better count their fucking days.

None of these men will stand for someone making their partner feel bad about themselves.

They’d make sure there was a RECKONING.

*Approving nod* Go get ‘em, boys.

If you do decide to lose weight at some point, they’re making sure it’s for the right reasons (ex: quality of life health adjustment and not just because you want to be skinnier to look more attractive.) and they’re also making sure you’re doing it the right way. The safe way. Because damnit they love you and always want you to be happy and safe.

As long as it’s for the right reasons and you’re doing it safely, they’ll be your biggest supporters. Like the biggest hype men. As well as the best comfort if things are a bit rough. They’ve got your back.

Aphelios

Said it before and will say it again: “The quiet ones are always the most perceptive.”

He absolutely notices when you frown at yourself a little in the mirror, when you take a bit longer to find something to wear, when you murmur something self deprecating about your appearance, or when you intentionally skip a meal (his absolute least favorite).

He knows when you don’t feel good about yourself and it makes him sad because he always sees you as beautiful and attractive.

And it’s hard on him because he really can’t be super vocal about how he sees you, at least in public because people are loud.

But when you two are cuddling or just having quiet time by yourselves when you’re getting ready together, and you can hear him when he does talk, then in those times when you feel bad about yourself, he’s just the sweetest bean omg.

Whispering/murmuring the sweetest and loveliest things to you about how amazing you look.

Like he’d really compliment you to high heaven. Especially if there’s an area that you’re super self conscious about. Ex: “I love those shorts on you, cutie. They show off your amazing legs.”

As for the meals, he’s gently making sure you’re eating. He wants you happy and sated.

I’ve said before that he’s the master of sexting and I fully believe he’d send you texts (both spicy and not) randomly, just letting you know how attractive he thinks you are and that you’re on his mind.

When he does send spicy texts complimenting his favorite parts of you? I hope you’re not around anyone because you will be turning bright red. This quiet moon man is shockingly explicit.

Ezreal

Do I think he’s as perceptive as Phel or some of the others? Maybe not, but I do believe Ez would notice if you’re quieter/down as well as notice your upset glances in the mirror.

It is fucking inconceivable to him when you tell him you don’t find yourself attractive at times.

Like WHAT??? How can that be??? You’re literally perfection to him. And he has excellent taste so…

Compliments compliments COMPLIMENTS. Holy shit he’d shower you with so many lovely compliments anytime you don’t feel good about yourself.

We also know even Heartsteel Ez is a huge history nerd (fuck YEAH I have a history minor so I love this).

When you tell him you don’t feel beautiful, he’d go through so many different civilizations of history and talk about how you fit their ideal standards of beauty. And so to him, you’re always timelessly attractive.

Would pull up artwork (for example, Titian’s “Venus of Urbino”) and texts to make his point. (This is so hot lmao. I blame being an honors kid and going to grad school. We stan an academic king omfg. I feel like he secretly has a masters degree [hehe welcome to the club, Ez].)

And while I primarily think his affection would be shown through compliments (I just see him as so chatty) I definitely think he’d also use at least some touch to make his point.

Like he’d rest his head on your thighs or tummy because you’re just perfect to cuddle with after a long day. Or he’d let his hands, eyes, lips linger on his favorite parts of you (your thighs, your tummy, your ass/hips) just to make his point clear: while you may not love these parts of you all the time, he ABSOLUTELY does.

Kayn

Very similar to Ez where he just cannot wrap his mind around the fact that you don’t see yourself as incredible and sexy at all times like he sees you. And when you tell him a lot of your insecurity stems from being plus-size, that befuddles him even more.

Member #1 of the “That just means more for me to love, baby” club.

When he hears you say these things about yourself, he almost takes it as a little bit of a challenge for himself to better show you that you are in fact, sexy and attractive as FUCK. And it’s a challenge he fully plans on succeeding at.

One of the ones I can picture using primarily physical touch in order to emphasize how sexy he sees you.

I’ve said it before but I fully believe physical touch is one of his love languages (at LEAST giving if not both giving and receiving.)

If you’re talking poorly about yourself, he will kiss you to make you shush. And it’s not a simple peck either. No no no. It’s a full “make-you-breathless” kiss.

And once he’s finally stunned you silent and turned your cheeks pink, he will lean over and murmur why he loves every single part of you that you were talking bad about.

And it’s not just PG reasons either. He’s getting DETAILED. I’ve said before he’s the dirty talk king. He’ll say things like how he loves your hips because they’re just perfect for him to grab onto when he’s fu- (I need to stop before I go off the rails lmao).

And believe me, he’s more than happy to show you what he means. Will gladly drag you home or to somewhere private.

He’d really keep an eye out for when you’re feeling down about yourself and he’d work to shut it down immediately. You’re perfect to him and he will let you KNOW.

K’Sante

K’Sante would be fucking ELITE for this omg.

One of the hardest parts about having a plus-size body is dressing it in a way that is stylish and still unique.

Goodness fucking knows so many plus-sized clothes have no semblance of shape to them whatsoever. Very potato sack.

But you’re with the main fashion icon himself. You have yourself a killer personal stylist (with amazing kisses and lovins to go along with it).

He’s never going to let you look bad. No matter the vibe, no matter the occasion, he’s gonna help you pull an A+ fit together.

And he’s going to explain why each piece works well for your body, so when you go shopping by yourself, you know what to look for.

Always throwing out compliments about how you make an outfit look so good (very intentionally worded this way and not the other way around).

He wants you to understand it’s the person who makes the clothes, not the clothes that make the person. You’re the reason that outfit looks absolutely stunning.

If you ever did want to start working out, I think K’Sante would be an excellent guide. Gyms are fucking intimidating, and I think he realizes that. So he’d give you the full walkthrough and help you figure out what to do on machines and stuff so you don’t accidentally hurt yourself.

And even though we know Sett is the best cook, I’m still convinced K’Sante is also a great cook so he’d make you the best meals omg. Well balanced, delicious as fuck, and filled with a whole lot of love.

Sett

I think it genuinely would make him sad when he realizes your insecurities. Even if you don’t tell him outright, I think he’s very observant and is another member who would see the small things you do that indicate your insecurities with your body.

Member #2 of the “that just means more for me to love” club.

Never too heavy for him so don’t even ask. You’ve seen this man’s muscles. To him, you’re always as light as a feather.

And his compliments? Shit he’d have some of the SWEETEST compliments. And when he sees you feeling down, he wouldn’t skimp on them. He doesn’t skimp on them normally, but now he’s even more complimentary and flirty with you. Like lowkey you have a blush 24/7.

Ok, so I’ve previously ranked Sett as one of the most romantic members of Heartsteel. And I still hold firm that one of his love languages is acts of service (giving). Part of that is cooking. We know he’s the best cook of the group.

And similar to Kayn I also think he’d use physical touch (almost as an act of service) to show his partner he finds them beautiful/attractive/sexy.

That combo? Fuck that’s an elite combo right there. Everything he does, he does with the intent to make you feel loved, happy and as sexy, stunning, and perfect as he sees you.

Gently wandering hands while cuddling, hand on thigh while he drives, hand in the back pocket of your jeans when in line together, hugs from behind, whispered compliments, and neck kisses when you’re getting ready and dressed.

And of course there are the even more personal moments of physical affection. Like marking any area he senses you might be uncomfortable with or hears you talking bad about. We’re talking those parts LITTERED with hickeys here. Because damnit he loves your tummy and your thighs and marking them is his private way of letting you know that. And tbh it feels pretty nice…

An interesting little thing: I absolutely think Sett would encourage you to maybe step out of your comfort zone just a little bit and do something to help you see yourself as sexy. For example, I think he’d be happy to pay/provide what you need for a boudoir photo shoot with an amazing photographer who knows what they’re doing and rizzes you up. (Those seem so fun omg I lowkey want to do one so bad.) And if you gift him with a print of your favorite photo (or even better, a photo book with all your favorite photos) for like his birthday or something? A. He’s glad you see yourself as sexy just as he does. B. Enjoy not leaving bed for like the entire weekend. 😉

Yone

Again, Yone is a member that is just mind-bogglingly perceptive. Over the tiniest things. (The quiet ones y’all, for real.)

Another one who absolutely sees when you don’t look at yourself kindly in the mirror, when you touch your tummy or hips with a frown, when you try and suck in for photos, or when you’re letting yourself be hungry.

He fucking hates it because in his eyes, you’re the most attractive person there is. No one is more attractive than you are.

Murmurs to you the sweetest compliments in passing whenever he can. I believe this man’s experience with lyric writing makes him a god damn poet when it comes to getting his feelings across. It’s one of the reasons I ranked him the most romantic member.

If he notices you looking at yourself unkindly in the mirror, he will come over and wrap his arms around you from behind, smiling gently as he compliments you, especially complimenting the areas he noticed you looking negatively at. He won’t stop either until he feels you relax back against him and he sees a small smile at least.

We’ve previously discussed my belief that Yone is secretly a cuddle fiend. Like in public he is so stoic and serious (fair though, he’s dealing with his band mates **cough cough** Kayn and Ez **cough cough**).

But in private, he’s a damn koala. And he’ll always pull you onto his lap and let you know that you’re perfect to cuddle with, exactly how you are. Prepare to be trapped in some amazing cuddles for the next long while.

Honestly, yes all of the members would be scary if someone insulted your looks, but I think Yone would be the most terrifying to have to deal with. I would never want to be on his shit list.

Likes to eat with you whenever he can. A. You’re a lot calmer than his band mates like 95% of the time and this man needs some god damn peace. And B. It’s a way for both of you to take care of each other. You can make sure he eats (since god knows he spends hella hours in the studio and often forgets) and he can make sure you get some good food in you too. I bet he’d bring home stuff that Sett or K’Sante made, especially if he knows it’s one of your favorites. (He’d absolutely have them draw a fun little doodle on a note to make you smile.)

Just an angel of a partner who refuses to let you feel so dark about yourself when you make his world so bright.

Thank you for reading! I must say, this definitely made me feel better about myself by the end. I hope everyone remembers that you’re perfect the way you are!

Coming to a stop at the foot of her bed, EZ set her down to her feet, Camille, taking the bottom of his white t shirt as he shrugged his kutte onto the floor, pulling the garment over his head. There beneath, lay the splendorous sight of a body that looked like carved marble, her fingertips stroking over his smooth chest. His skin was utterly beautiful.

Her eyelids fluttered shut as he claimed her lips once more, the kiss a little softer than she’d shared with him while being carried to her bedroom, the hard mass of his bulk grounding as she felt her head spinning, his arms holding her to him, rooting her there. He hummed into the kiss, hands teasing at the fabric of her t shirt, turned on more than he expected he would be to feel that she’d forgone putting a bra on.  

His fingertips concentrated upon her nipples, feeling them stiffen to his touch, pushing her back gently, his hands grasping to pull the t shirt from her body, his head dipping, laying a path of kisses down her chest.

“These are about the most perfect tits I’ve ever damned seen,” he complimented, his mouth closing in a hard suck at her nipple, coaxing a little gasp from her, her hips rising beneath him.  

“They should be for what I paid for them.”

His eyebrows fluttered, smiling around his suck on the dark pink bud. “Money very well spent.” Feeling his hands slide down over her narrow waist, her breath caught, the air thickening in her lungs as she felt him unfasten her jeans, Camille shaking each Ugg covered foot until the boots fell to the floor with a soft thud, EZ staring down at her with heavy want as he yanked at her jeans.  

“Christ, did you spray these on?” It was a moment that almost felt out of place, the little spark of humour, Camille not believing he had such within him as her soft giggle peppered the air. “I thought mom jeans were the fashion right now?”

She snorted softly, a final yank freeing her of the tight denim, her thong gone with the jeans. “Would you wear mom jeans if you had an ass like mine?”

He made a thoughtful face for the briefest hint of a second passing. “I see you point.” Moving to the end of the bed, he dropped down to kneel at the foot, yanking her body down to meet him, his hands parting her thighs as his lips laid hot, open-mouthed kisses from her knee downwards, the scent of her womanhood catching his senses, his pupils dilating in response.  

Camille expected to be kept in anticipation, the heat of his mouth enfolding around her like a mist, that heat taking its first lick at her apex bringing her back to herself, a soft gasp floating from her throat, the very tip of his tongue pushing at her opening before he used it to drag a firm lick right through her folds, ending at her clit. The action made her jolt, her body keening against his mouth, EZ feeling his heart miss a couple of beats. Fuck, she tasted heavenly.  

A flush of warmth skipped over her nerve endings from those first few tentative licks, her folds bathed in the wet press of his tongue, his groan gone to rasp, his fingers joining his mouth, stroking at her as his tongue focused tight circles around her clit, his middle finger slipping inside her, crooking, stroking, EZ thinking her soft moan to be the sweetest thing he’d heard in a while.  

“Mmmm, such a pretty little pussy.” he praised, sucking on her clit, removing his finger to close his mouth around her entirely, eating her with greed, her fingers trailing through his short hair as her hips purled against his mouth. He flushed a summer tempest from her, balmy and winding, tongue flicking over her clit fast and rhythmically, the little bud swollen and tender, EZ pausing to suck on it firmly once more.  

She lay there utterly floored by his talent, the dexterity of his fingers as two pushed back within her, the precision of his tongue as he took hard, sweeping licks over her bundle again and again. That air of arrogance he wore, the one that radiated his self-confidence, he had every right to wear it with the pride he did, she thought, if this was what he could do to a woman with just two fingers and a tongue. Fuck.  

While his fingers began to drive hard, the lewd noises from her glistening cunt filling the room, his tongue bathed her bud in featherlight licks, driving her out of her mind, her body a host of glimmering tingles, perfect pools of pleasure melting down her spine. He had her whining and gasping, her hands clutching at his thick biceps, each lick quickening against her, watching her tits heaving as she panted hard. He knew where she was heading, straight into wet heat driven bliss, her cries spilling from her mouth like wine as her nails dug in on his arms, her clit bouncing against his tongue as she came hard.  

“Oh, Jesus fucking Christ!” she panted, stroking his face, EZ turning his head to suck her fingers. “You’re too good at that!”  

“Yep.”

She scoffed a laugh. “Oh, and so freakin’ modest!”

He shrugged, letting go of his suck upon her dainty fingers, returning his mouth to her folds, but gentler this time. “Well, to be completely fair, you don’t exactly make it difficult. You and your peachy little pussy that tastes even better than it looks.” She shuddered against him, squealing with a little oversensitivity when he began sucking at her again, the vibrations from his rumbling laugh adding something a little more pleasurable. “So, if you want to wrap these gorgeous legs around my head,” he paused, grabbing them and physically doing just that, Camille laughing hard, “you do just that, beautiful. I’m happy to drown down here.”  

He felt her thighs flexing against the sides of his head as his tongue began to beat softly over her clit once more, gentle heat winding through her, EZ applying more pressure the less the shook against him as her oversensitivity passed. It flushed through her core like spring rain, the pleasure pattering, until it began to pelt down once again, her muscles tightening as she cried out, falling apart against the incessance of his tongue.  

“Oh god, you have to stop now!” she cried, sitting up a little, “if for no other reason than to let me return the favour.”  

Usually, EZ wouldn’t have hesitated at all, but at that moment, his need to be inside her far outweighed his desire to feel his cock in her mouth. He shook his head, his hands reaching for her neck, pulling her near, offering kisses gilded in embers, reaching to unfasten his belt. “Later. Right now, I have to fuck you. I have to, Camille.” Their kisses edged on frantic as EZ freed himself from his jeans and boxers, not before retrieving a condom from his wallet, shuddering while pulling it on, the wet warmth of her tongue circling his nipple.  

Glancing down, she saw it for the first time, the hard mass of cock she’d enjoyed grinding against when giving him a lap dance. She gulped. It was huge. Long, fat, intimidating, but god, she bet it felt incredible. Pushing her back, he pressed her thighs down to the bed, a grunt pooling his throat when she grasped his cock, squeezing it, bringing it to the soaking mess of her sex, her mouth dropping open as he slid in fluidly. Each thick inch parted her walls, EZ grasping her thighs, keeping them spread as he leaned down, kissing her with a shuddered breath as he filled her entirely, dragging back slowly, the hug of her making his abs quake.  

He looked down upon her, his smile widening. “How’s that feel, beautiful?”

“It... I... I... oh... my... god!” Already, he had her a stuttering mess, laying kisses and little bites along her jaw as he pushed forth once more, Camille arching into him with a soft cry. “Oh geez, it’s fucking huge!” And huge felt incredible. She thought she’d known a big dick before, but that was pre-EZ. Now, god... feeling him stretch her out, drag against her sweet spots, her nerve endings dancing in a blaze of glimmers, no man had ever felt as good as he did.  

He fucked her slow, his body moving almost fluidly against her, Camille running her hands up and down his arms as she met his downward movements with a little upward punt of her hips, pulling him to her, losing herself in a tangle of messy kisses as they panted against one another.  

“Fuck, you feel amazing, and god fucking damn, you look a thousand times hotter when you’re getting fucked,” he rumbled, his voice gone to gravel entirely, hitting her deeper with a few more sharply delivered thrusts, the need to quicken taking over for a few moments, her wails making his pulse flip wildly before he brought himself under control again. “God, you’re beautiful.”  

He nuzzled her, kissing her again, Camille a little staggered by the praise he heaped upon her. While it was true that she barely knew him at all, she hadn’t thought him the type to be this complimentary. She wouldn’t class him as unfriendly, per se, but she’d considered him maybe a little too wrapped up in himself to be so extolling of her.  

And then there was the passion in him, which he lavished upon her amply, kissing her, his lips travelling to her neck, his deep groans, the way he stroked her all over as that slow rhythm gave way to something with more voracity, his thumb moving to her clit, skating back and forth over the slick little bud, her nails grazing his thick, perfect chest as she cried out. Sitting back on his heels, he pulled her legs up over his shoulders, beginning to pound into her cunt furiously, chasing the tingles of release he could feel beginning to glimmer within him, the coil of his arousal thrashing like an angry serpent.

Moving her legs, he reached for her, pulling her up with him, Camille feeling her butt cheek sting as he grasped them both in his big hands, spanking the one she hadn’t landed on hard, and shit, it felt good, her body moving rhythmically against his as she ground herself down on every last inch of his huge cock. He hit her at every angle, every depth, her walls fluttering around him as the pressure increased, delicious friction scraping sparks right through her, burning to her very marrow and back.

He coaxed further groans from her, repeatedly spanking her as his teeth nipped gently at her neck, Camille grasping his thick shoulders as she rode him with gusto, her body moving like a wave against his, EZ taking a handful of her blonde waves and fisting it at the roots, pulling her head back, his tongue sliding in a slow drag up her throat until they were sharing kisses full of filthy indulgence once more. It was the kind of perfect sex she’d only ever fantasised before, never believing that any reality could ever live up to it.

Staring at one another, it was intensity unmatched, EZ feeling himself pulled in by her sharply, so strongly that he had to keep reminding himself that he wouldn’t let his emotions be swayed by her, this magmatic, blonde princess who rode him more expertly than any other woman of his past, who he felt a very real connection with. No. That would not happen, but for a few moments, he let himself tumble, clutching her to him, groaning in utter abandon as he felt the pleasure surging up his spine.  

“Come on, beautiful girl. Cum hard for me.” His encouragement had her soaring, his teeth biting her lower lip before he moved to lay kisses over her throat. It streaked through her in unabating waves, her crest skittering over her nerve endings, like sunlight beaming over the darkness of dawn, coming hard with a wail, EZ reaching that same point a few seconds after her, his cock twitching hard as he saw paradise behind his closed eyelids, every colour illuminating, but none more so than the bright blue of her eyes when he opened them to look upon her again.  

He was a panting wreck in the wake of it, staring at her as they kissed, enjoying the way her soaking walls pulsed around him. “You look so pretty when you cum.” His soft whisper was coupled with a kiss to the tip of her nose, Camille feeling fluttery inside, gently lifting herself from him before flopping back on the bed, EZ disposing of the condom into the small wastepaper basket in the corner of her room before joining her. “Shit, your ass is starting to bruise already.”  

She turned back to look, her eyes widening. “Oh, that’s going to look such a damned state in a couple of days!” she cringed, rolling her eyes. “Fuck that guy.”

He nodded, his agreement entirely fake, of course. “When you told me you were used to it, I take it that happens a lot, you girls getting grabbed?”  

“Less than you’d think, but more than we should be. Some men think just because they pay us to dance that they can take advantage. The last guy who did it, he grabbed me right between the legs and on impulse, I kicked him in the face. I felt so bad for cutting his cheek open, I ended up apologising to him! I guess I’m that kind of person, though. I don’t like hurting others, even if they happen to be in the wrong.”

He played the part of attentive listener, all the while storing the information up in his head, before suddenly, a bolt of thought hit him hard. ‘Why are you doing this? What did she ever do to deserve you playing games with her?’ It went as quickly as it came, EZ shaking the thought loose, letting it float away. He wasn’t that man any longer. Being decent towards nice girls was too far into his rear view of the man he used to be to ever go back there again. Nice girls got in his way, held him back, their decency and morality stifling. He’d evolved past needing them for anything more than a means to an end.  

Control, of everything and everyone in his life was all that interested Ezekiel Reyes now. The thrill of finding someone to connect with was now replaced by the thrill of finding ways to force them to bend to his will, and he had no intentions of deviating from that. Not for her, or anybody else.  

Reaching for her, he ran a finger down her spine, resting his head on his hand. “He grabbed you, and you made him pay for it. You shouldn’t feel bad about that, Camille. Some guys, they’ll walk all over you if you let them.”  

She dropped her head from his gaze, shrugging a little. He saw it there, that she had a weakness over letting men do exactly that to her. Again, the information was stored, EZ continuing to stroke her as she looked back up at him. “Let me guess, you’re not that guy though, right?”  

He smiled, shuffling closer to her, his hand curling beneath her chin as he offered a soft kiss to her pretty lips. “No, I’m not.”

And it was true, he wasn’t. He was right at the top of the rung, because he’d walk all over anyone... whether they let him or not. Lying there with her, he continued to feign attentiveness, asking her questions specifically designed to reveal information he could use in the future, all the while with Camille simply thinking he wanted to get to know her for honest, magnanimous intentions. How wrong she was.  

In turn, he gave away just enough about his own life to seem reciprocal and invested in their conversations, pleased when she moved to sit astride him, her nails raking over his chest as she began to kiss her way down.  

“Oh, so she’s tired of talking?” he questioned, arching an eyebrow.

“Mmhmm.” Looking up at him, her tongue ran in a hot glide up the centre of his abs, her hand curling around his cock. It was like iron by the time her mouth joined it, EZ’s head thudding back against the covers as she fit as much of him as she physically could between the wet hug of her lips.  

“Jesus... fuck,” he grunted, his hands tangling in her hair. “Damn, you give great head.”

She was utter sexual dynamite, EZ deciding to stay with her there the whole night and enjoy her again many times over, even falling asleep curled around her, Camille feeling on top of the world to receive such affection from this brand-new man in her life.  

When she awoke at just gone 9am the following morning to an empty bed, though, she felt a little bit let down, the seemingly great connection they had not enough for him to wait around until she woke, or leave her his number. The only trace of him being there were the four used condoms in her wastepaper basket, and the burning sting between her legs from the pounding she’d taken from him.  

She felt deflated for it the more it sunk in, the fact that she’d obviously just been a one-night stand. Of course, she’d gone into it thinking it would only be that, but after spending time getting to know him and having him sleep all curled around her, stroking her nakedness and telling her how beautiful she was, she had thought maybe, it could have been the start of something special. Her habit of picking bad men hadn’t left her, it seemed, and she was pissed off with herself all the way up until Tuesday evening when she returned to The Luna Lounge, when she found something waiting for her on her makeup table.  

“Someone has an admirer.” Raven spoke, nodding in the direction of the black boxed arrangement of white roses.  

Camille was too busy floating on cloud nine to really pay attention to the little slither of envy in her voice. “Mmm, it seems so.” Lifting the card, she opened it, buzzing with excitement as she read the words.  

‘Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl. Look at you, turning me into the kind of guy who sends flowers. Damn you! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since the weekend. I’m really busy with work at the moment, but I’ll come and see you soon. Count on it. EZ x.’

Her favourite flowers. How had he known? She then reasoned he must have noticed upon leaving her house, with the fact that he would have passed by the two vases she always had fresh white roses presented within. Sitting down and reading the note again, her insides sparkled with the relief of realising that she’d been hasty in her assumption that he was just like all of the rest.  

Except she hadn’t been. And he wasn’t like all the rest either. He was worse.
