Summary: The New Dawn â How Technology Is Shaping a New Socioeconomic Order
In Technofeudalism: The New Dawn, the article delves into the emerging concept of technofeudalism, a new socioeconomic structure where technology giants control not only the digital landscape but also influence the political and economic power of societies. As large tech corporations gain unprecedented power, this shift is prompting a reexamination of societal norms, governance, and economic systems.
The article explores how companies like Amazon, Google, and Facebook are not just tech entities but are becoming modern feudal lords, wielding immense influence over individuals and governments alike. It argues that technofeudalism is an extension of traditional feudal systems but through the lens of technology, where digital platforms hold more power than any single government or institution. For readers interested in exploring more articles on societyâs evolving challenges, visit the Mind Matters section of Amaranth Magazine, where we analyze the intersection of mental health, technology, and society.
The discussion in this article is a wake-up call about the growing concentration of power in the hands of a few tech leaders and the potential risks this poses to democratic values, privacy, and individual freedom. The piece provides insights into the implications of technofeudalism, drawing parallels between historical feudal systems and today's tech-controlled world. It also raises important questions about how we can ensure a more equitable digital future.

more Ninjagelion AU
Setup: In the aftermath of a cataclysmic event on the Dark Island where humans accidentally awakened an entity known as the [OVERLORD] the world was plunged into eternal chaos. 20 years later, Ninjago has managed to rebuild. Now in New Ninjago City, a bustling and lively hub at the heart of Ninjago, has been under attack by monsters- onis, dragons, serpents, unexplainable beasts,- creatures made from the [OVERLORD]'s darkness. Luckily the Special Division ELEMENTS is here to protect the realm from these monstrous threats, with the NINJA mechs. This cant be possible without some valuable members of the team!
Characters, lore, and more â
Characters:
Pixal: In this au she's a human scientist, and probably the one person who knows the most about how the NINJA mechs are created. She's in charge of the technical division, and head of research and development. During a monster battle, her order's are second to Cole's. Her highest priority is the integrity of the mechs, to the point she might be a bit negligent of the safety of their pilots. Pixal is deeply involved in some suspicious agendas involving the secret entities hidden under the base, and while she's the most knowledgeable person in the force, she's not the most trustworthy. Pixal is Zane's personal "doctor" and knows more about his schematics than anyone else. She created the Nindroid plugs (aka the Dummy system, an autopilot of sorts) with his personality data. Pixal is also one of the few people who know what happened to the original Dr. Julien and Echo.
Jay: For a little history on him, Jay is on the younger side, have graduated from college a couple of years ago. He originally interned here as an electrical engineer in the Weapons Deparment, but Pixal saw his skill and ingenuity and gave him an unrefusable return offer in the R&D department as her right hand. Jay's parents, Ed and Edna Walker were colleagues of Cyrus Borg and were involved in the engineering and design of the Geofront and NNC's civilian safety infrastructure, so Jay's always been somewhat interested in ELEMENT's work. It was kind of a dream come true when the Pixal Borg hired him. During monster attacks, Jay's in charge of making sure the NINJA mechs operate properly, have access to their weapons and gear, and making sure the NNC fortress moves as needed. Jay's always seen with his goggles and he almost never follows uniform protocol.
Jay is also one of the few Technicians who personally work with the Pilots, he's one of the first people Lloyd warmed up to at ELEMENTS, and he becomes kind of a big brother figure to him after one particularly crazy mission when he has to personally go out onto the field with Lloyd in Unit-01. When Nya arrives the pair work together a lot outside of pilot training, but Nya definitely likes him and he... needs to figure some things out. whoops!
Skylor: Having grown up in the aftermath of the 2nd (Overlord) Impact, Skylor's seen a lot of destruction and cruelty, even first hand from her own father who lead a doomsday cult that wreaked havoc on innocent communities trying to survive in the near apocalyptic event. Vowing to protect the world from similar chaos, she joined the NINJA program's tactical division. When the monster attacks began, she's in-charge of monitoring the enemy's health, pilot life signs, and mapping.
Dareth: His last name is Presley bc of the Elvis hair and inspiration lmao. He's not really a high ranking member of the organization but Cole and the others seem to really trust him, despite his mess ups. Dareth normally handles ferrying radio messages between ground teams and mission control. Dareth is a relaxed guy who values a positive work environment, even if that kind of makes him a bad employee. He's a very good uncle figure to a lot of members of ELEMENTS
MORE Cole: Cole is the leader of the tactical division. He was drafted into the military when he was only a young teenager in the aftermath of the [OVERLORD] but he was recognized by Wu and not long after he completed college and grad school he was quickly hired by ELEMENTS to oversee the tactical division. He's vengeful towards the Overlord's darkness monsters because his mother Lily was the captain of the disastrous expedition to the Dark Island 20 years ago. The dog tags he wears are his own and his mother's.
Lloyd and Zane, on neural headsets: As pilots of a NINJA mech they have a lot of pressure on them, obviously this can cause a lot of mental turmoil and stress. In order to pilot a mech they must synchronize their own mind to their mech's soul*, so stress isn't really a good thing for a pilot to have. Zane was programmed to not experience such emotions, but over the course of the series, its proven that he grows to feel quite strongly and become more human. Despite his programming, the lack of emotion early on was actually a detriment to his ability to pilot, since the NINJA soul wouldn't be able to synchronize it's feelings with an entity that feels nothing. Sometimes its necessary for pilots to wear more complicated neural headsets and spinal connections for more controlled sync testing. During the cross-sync experiment when Zane and Lloyd traded units, they were stuck wearing extra uncomfortable test suits -- too many wires and junk! The only downside to extra connection is that the mech could overload and go berserk. (which big surprise, happened!), so usually Lloyd, the designated Unstable Pilottm, only needs the barebones neural interface in most situations.
#lego ninjago#ninjagelion au#evangelion#I have a really fun idea Jay for this au. even when he's literally just tech support he's still so fun and cool and badass. to me.#r.e. ja/ya: they're both adults in this au but nya being a pilot and jay being a higher rank makes the power dynamic a little tricky?#eh see it as one sided or unrequited for now#pixal and zane mystery will be elaborated on later but they're *definitely* not romantically involved in this au lol.#I'm also gonna come up with more mech design ideas and alternat plugsuit stuff. especially the really crazy scifi ones.#i have this mini arc with unit-00 cross synch test and morro in mind that combines the magi/supercomputer hijack infection angel storyline.#and poor lloyd does (not) want to be stuck tangled up in so many cables and wires with morro in the cockpit with him.#my art#doodles#pixal borg#jay walker#skylor chen#dareth ninjago#zane julien#cole ninjago

told the nerd to film it and he exported inside me instead!



pairing â tech nerd!gojo x fem reader
synopsis : you crushed on him for months, watched him dodge every advance like you were malware. so you dressed up a little, played a little dumberâand now heâs got you spread out in pixels and moaning in surround sound. worst part? you kinda want him to do it again.
tags/cw â masturbation, degradation, praise kink, dacryphilia, marking, overstimulation, explicit language, filming, voyeurism, fingering, oral (f receiving), unprotected sex, creampie, squirting, rough sex, dirty talk, power dynamics, obsession, lingerie, virgin weeb satoru, questionable but effective way of seducing ur crush. 13k wc, 18+ only, minors DNI.
a/n : plz don't nitpick about how a fashion vlog shouldn't be like that bc that's the point. toru doesn't know the difference because all he watches is 2d girls
the compressorâs peaking again.
satoru squints at the waveform, drags the threshold down two decibels, then listens back to the same three-second clip of voiceover for the tenth time. itâs a podcast intro, some wannabe influencer droning about mindfulness. he doesnât care. heâs just here to make it sound less like it was recorded in a bathroom.
âsounds like shit,â he mutters, even though itâs clean. crisp. perfectly balanced.
it doesnât feel right. nothing ever does. he tweaks the bitrate, checks the export codec, wonders if he should build a custom ffmpeg preset. maybe write a quick script to batch clean all future filesâsomething to shave off a few milliseconds of his life. his fingers hover over the keyboard, itching for efficiency, for control.
ping.
discord overlay glows in the corner of his ultrawide monitor, a neon-green intrusion on his meticulously organized desktop. he freezes. the notification pulses like a heartbeat.
you.
he stares at it, lets it sit there like itâs radioactive. doesnât even remember keeping you added. your usernameâsomething stupid with a heart emojiâfeels like a splinter under his skin. he shouldâve purged his contacts months ago, but here you are, slipping through the cracks of his digital fortress.
hey. remember when u edited our project? can u help me trim some vids plsâŠ
his jaw tightens. of course youâd ask now, at 2 a.m., when heâs neck-deep in audio plugins and caffeine. his fingers hover over the keyboard, poised to dismiss you.
âno,â he types, then erases it.
âwhat kind of vids,â he tries, but deletes that too. too eager. too curious.
after a solid twenty-five seconds of overthinking, he finally sends:
i guess. send what you have.
he leans back in his chair, the leather creaking under his weight. his room is a cave of glowing screens and scattered energy drink cans, the hum of his overclocked pc the only sound besides his own shallow breathing. he shouldnât care. youâre just another art student, another distraction. but his pulse betrays him, thudding a little too hard in his throat.
flashback.exe
he hated group projects. despised them. a bunch of useless art students in overpriced streetwear, trying to make films with no understanding of pacing or continuity.
theyâd fumble with premiere pro like it was rocket science, leaving him to clean up their shaky cuts and mismatched audio tracks. he always ended up doing 90% of the work, and he preferred it that way. control was his god, and he worshipped it.
but you were different.
not better. just... a different kind of stupid.
you showed up late to the editing suite, glitter pens spilling out of your bag, heart stickers plastered on your water bottle like a middle schoolerâs diary. you called the lav mic a âweird nipple thingâ and giggled when he glared at you. once, you spilled your lip gloss on the soundboard, leaving a sticky pink smear he had to scrub off with isopropyl alcohol. another time, you asked if uploading to drive made your data heavier, and he almost threw you out.
but.
you let him do whatever he wanted.
you didnât hover or micromanage. you just sat there, cross-legged on a swivel chair, watching him cut scenes like it was magic. you leaned over his shoulder, close enough that he could feel the warmth of your breath, your wide eyes reflecting the glow of the timeline.
âwhoa... you made it feel like a real movie,â you whispered, like heâd just parted the red sea.
you smelled like something artificial. strawberries, maybe, or some overpriced body mist from a mall kiosk. your hair was always tied with a ribbonâpink, blue, sometimes yellow, always obnoxiously bright.
he didnât care.
he told himself he didnât.
but he remembered. every fucking detail.
the zip file lands in his downloads with an obnoxious ka-chunk, snapping him out of the memory. he doesnât rush. just opens it like itâs any other favor, like his heart isnât clawing at his ribcage. the folder name stares back at him: âpls help <3â
typical.
he clicks it open, expecting shaky iphone clips of cafes and shopping hauls. maybe some cringe tiktok dance you think is cute. heâs ready to hate it, to scoff at your lack of framing or shitty lighting.
but thenâ
you appear on screen.
not just appear. you perform.
youâre biting your lip, laughing into the lens like itâs your lover. wearing something stupidly shortâa skirt that barely qualifies as fabric, hugging your thighs like itâs painted on. you spin around in front of your mirror, the camera catching every angle, every curve, like youâre being filmed for someone else. someone whoâd appreciate it.
you pose. cock your head. giggle. the sound is loud, breathy, smiling when you speak. âdo you think this is too short?â you ask, tugging the hem of your skirt, your fingers lingering just a second too long.
he blinks.
backs the video up three seconds.
watches again.
your laugh echoes through his headphones, a little distorted, a little too close. he pretends heâs checking the audio, tells himself itâs for sync, that heâs just doing his job. but his eyes are glued to the screen, to the way your skirt rides up as you twirl, to the flash of skin that makes his breath catch.
he watches again.
his mouth is dry, his tongue heavy against his teeth. your skirt flips up higher this time, and you gaspâlike youâre surprised, like you didnât mean to show that much. but you donât stop filming. donât cover up. just... laugh, a sound that curls around his spine and sinks into his gut.
he doesnât even realize his hand is moving until itâs there, slipping under the waistband of his sweatpants. his fingers brush against himself, and he hisses, the contact sharp and sudden. heâs already half-hard, his body betraying him before his brain can catch up. the room feels too warm, the hum of his pc too loud, but he doesnât care. he canât care.
he rewinds the clip again, pauses on the frame where youâre mid-spin, your skirt flared just enough to show the curve of your ass. his hand wraps around his cock, slow at first, tentative, like heâs testing how far heâll let himself go. the texture of his own skin is rough, familiar, but itâs not enough. not when itâs you on the screen, laughing like you know heâs watching, like youâre daring him to lose control.
he strokes himself, a tight, deliberate rhythm, his thumb brushing over the tip where heâs already leaking. the sensation jolts him, makes his hips twitch in the chair.
he imagines itâs your hand, your fingersâsmall, soft, probably clumsy, but eager. he pictures you kneeling between his legs, looking up at him with those wide eyes, your lips parted like they are in the video, glossy and pink and begging to be kissed. or more.
the video plays on. youâre bending over now, adjusting your hair in the mirror, your skirt riding up to expose the thin strip of your underwear. he groans, low and guttural, his hand moving faster.
the sound of your voiceâteasing, playfulâfills his headphones, and he closes his eyes for a moment, letting it wash over him. âdo you think this is too short?â you say again, and he wants to answer, wants to growl that itâs perfect, that youâre perfect, that heâd rip it off you if he could.
his grip tightens, his strokes growing erratic. heâs not gentle with himselfânever is. itâs all pressure and friction, chasing the edge as fast as he can.
his free hand fumbles with the mouse, scrubbing the timeline back to the moment you gasp, to the split-second flash of your thighs. he loops it, the clip stuttering in time with his breathing, with the slick sound of his hand working himself over. his cock throbs, hot and heavy, and he imagines itâs youâyour warmth, your wetness, the way youâd probably whimper if he touched you like this.
heâs close. too close.
his vision blurs at the edges, his pulse hammering in his ears. he shouldnât be doing this, shouldnât be jerking off to your stupid video like some desperate creep, but the shame only makes it worse, makes it sharper.
he pictures you catching him, walking in right now, seeing him with his pants down and his hand on his dick. would you laugh? would you blush? would you get on your knees andâ
he comes with a choked gasp, his hips bucking up into his hand. itâs messy, spilling over his fingers, onto the hem of his shirt. his chest heaves, his head tilting back against the chair as the aftershocks ripple through him. your laugh loops in his headphones, oblivious to the wreck heâs become.
itâs filthy. itâs desperate.
ten minutes later, heâs cleaned himself up, his hands steady again as he trims the file like a good little editor. he cuts out the shaky parts, stabilizes the footage, adjusts the audio so your voice doesnât clip. itâs clinical now, professional, like he didnât just fall apart to the sight of you. he names it something sterile: âvlog_cut_1.mov.â
he exports it twice. once normally, for you. once... not. the second version is raw, unedited, every twirl and giggle preserved in crisp 4k. it gets copied to a different folder, buried in a directory labeled âshader_study_2022.â he tells himself itâs in case you need a re-edit. a backup. thatâs all.
when you text back:
thank u!! lol i owe uuu :3
he stares at the message, his thumb hovering over the keyboard. his heartâs still racing, a faint tremor in his fingers.
he types âanytime :)â and erases it. sends:
np.
what he doesnât say: he rewatched the part where you bend over six times. he had his dick in his hand by the second loop. he renamed the close-up to âtest_render_asscloseup.movâ and hid it behind three layers of subfolders.
he doesnât even like tiktok girls.
heâs into 2d, girls with big swords and bigger tits, drawn in sharp lines and impossible proportions. he once bought a dakimakura because the shipping came with a free pin, and itâs still shoved in his closet, one corner stained from a late-night mistake. real girls are messy, unpredictable, too much work. but now?
heâs thinking about the way your laugh dipped when you turned around, the way it caught in your throat like you were nervous. the way you looked into the lens like you knew someone was watching.
someone like him.
next day, you walk in like a fucking weapon.
pink fuzzy shrug, low-rise jeans that sit dangerously low on your hips, a sliver of stomach peeking out like itâs 2004. your hairâs up in a ribbonâpink, of course, swaying as you move. youâre all glitter and confidence, a walking distraction in a lecture hall full of tired students and flickering projectors.
he scoffs under his breath. âtacky.â
but his heartâs pounding, a traitor in his chest. his fingers twitch against the edge of his laptop, betraying the calm heâs trying to project. you slide into the seat two rows ahead and twist around, grinning like a cat, like you know something he doesnât.
your eyes catch his for a split second, bright and teasing, and he forces himself to look away.
he opens his laptop, types random garbage into a terminal windowâsome half-baked python script he doesnât even care about. he runs a fake compile just to feel busy, to drown out the way his blood is rushing too fast.
you lean over to whisper to the girl next to you, your laugh spilling out, loud and careless. your hair tosses, and he swears he catches the scent of your perfume drifting past in invisible waves. saccharine, overwhelming, like strawberries dipped in sugar syrup.
his brain short-circuits. he snaps his headphones on, the cord tangling in his haste. not to listen to music. not to block you out.
to replay your giggle.
heâd isolated the audio last night, cleaned it up with a high-pass filter, boosted the mids to make it crystal clear. exported it as a high-quality .wav, tucked it into a folder labeled âaudio_ref.â he tells himself itâs for study, just good reference for future projects. but he loops it now, the sound of your laugh layered over faint lo-fi static he added for texture. itâs you, distilled into a three-second clip, filling his skull.
he closes his eyes and pretends youâre saying his name. satoru, you giggle, breathy and soft, like youâre leaning over his shoulder again, watching him work. satoru, you made it feel so real.
the lecture drones on, but heâs not listening. heâs lost in the rhythm of your voice, the way it dips and rises, the way it makes his skin feel too tight. he shifts in his seat, adjusts his hoodie, tries to ignore the heat pooling in his gut. heâs not supposed to want this. not supposed to want you.
but he does.
the thing about addiction is that it never announces itself.
no dramatic thunderclap. no internal monologue screaming, ah yes, now i am a pervert. itâs quiet. insidious. it sinks in like static, crackling at the edges of satoruâs brain until heâs not sure where his old self ends and this new, wretched version begins.
itâs not like heâs not already a pervert who gets off from pixels. this simply wasnât his brand of perversion.
that night, he stayed up longer than he shouldâve. stared at code for so long his ide crashed, the screen flickering to black as if it knew he was wasting his time. not that he got anything done.Â
he just kept switching tabsâyour final cut in vlc, some useless bash script in vscode he pretended to care about, then back to your video, the timeline frozen on that twirl, that gasp. his fingers shook when he closed the laptop, but sleep never came.
and now itâs the next day. mid-afternoon. the sun is doing that thing where it turns his apartment into a blinding box of heat and regret. his ac hums like an old man, wheezing against the sticky air. heâs sprawled in his chair, one leg slung over the armrest, staring at the ceiling fan like it might tell him how to stop.
ping.
another discord notification. he doesnât even flinch this time. your username glows, and the filename attached makes his stomach do a weird little roll: âtry-on2_raw.movâ. his eyes linger on the heart emoji youâve tacked onto the message, like itâs a personal invitation.
hiii! ty for the last edit, ur a lifesaver <3 can u check and trim this one too? iâm trying smth new but idk if it works⊠lmk what u think pls!!
he clicks download. no hesitation. doesnât even pretend to care anymore.
the file loads into his editing software like second nature, the premiere pro interface blooming across his screen. muscle memory. routine.
heâs done this a hundred timesâexcept never like this, never with his pulse hammering in his throat and his mouth already dry.
the video starts the same way as the lastâhandheld, messy lighting, your voice trailing in from offscreen as you fiddle with the camera angle. no mic, of course not. just raw cam audio, unpolished, real, every breath and rustle amplified. he leans closer, like proximity to the screen will make it less dangerous.
âokayâwait, hold on,â you mutter, slightly out of breath. thereâs a plastic rustle, fabric scraping skin, the light jingle of a zipper. he catches the sound of your nails tapping the digicam accidentally, a faint clack-clack that makes him picture your fingers, probably painted some ridiculous color, fumbling in that endearing way you do.Â
âugh⊠come onâŠâ your voice drops, a frustrated huff, low and throaty. âmmâsorry! this oneâs hard to pull up.â
thenâzipper slides. metal on fabric, slow and deliberate, like itâs teasing him on purpose. you let out a sigh, long, slow, just a little too satisfied, like youâre savoring the release of pressure. the sound coils in his gut, tight and hot.
he freezes.
his mouse stays hovering over the playhead, the cursor trembling slightly. blood is already rushing south, his sweatpants tightening in a way he canât ignore. his breath catches, shallow and sharp, and the worst part?
you giggle.
âprobably got the wrong size,â you say, tugging the dress up higher. the hem catches on your thighs, rising indecently, the fabric clinging to your skin like itâs reluctant to let go. âdonât tell anyone i didnât try it on in-store first.â
he swallows nothing. jaw tight. the room suddenly feels suffocating, the acâs hum drowned out by the thud of his own pulse. your lip catches between your teeth, a flash of white against pink gloss, and the camera catches that too, lingers on it like it knows what itâs doing.
you glance at the lens, eyes half-lidded, like youâre waiting for approval, like youâre asking him directlyâdo you like this?
satoruâs fingers twitch.
one hand stays on the mouse, scrubbing the timeline back three seconds to hear that sigh again. the other hand moves before he can stop it, slipping under his waistband, brushing against the heat of his skin. heâs already hard, achingly so, the kind of hard that makes his head swim.
he wraps his fingers around himself, slow at first, testing, like heâs not sure heâs really doing this again. but the sound of your voiceâbreathy, teasingâloops in his headphones, and heâs gone.
he strokes himself, deliberate and tight, his grip almost punishing. the video plays on, and youâre stepping into frame now, the dress half-zipped, hugging your curves in a way that makes his throat burn. your thighs shift as you adjust the hem, and he imagines them under his hands, soft and warm, parting just for him.
his thumb swipes over the tip of his cock, slick with precum, and he groans, low and broken, the sound swallowed by the hum of his pc. he pictures your fingers instead, clumsy but eager, your nails grazing his skin as you try to keep up with his rhythm.
heâd guide you, show you how he likes itâfast, rough, no mercy.
you sigh again, and he speeds up, his hand moving in time with the rise and fall of your voice. âthis oneâs kinda tight,â you murmur, tugging at the neckline, and the fabric stretches, exposing the swell of your chest.
he wants to rip it off, wants to hear you gasp for real, not for the camera but for him. his strokes grow erratic, desperate, the slick sound of his hand filling the room, obscene and unstoppable.
he scrubs the timeline back again, pauses on the frame where your dress slips, where your underwear peeks outâa thin, lacy thing that makes his vision blur. he imagines pulling it aside, imagines the heat of you, the way youâd whimper if he pressed himself inside.
heâs close, too close, his hips twitching up into his hand. the video loops your giggle, that satisfied sigh, and heâs drowning in it, in you.
he pictures you catching him like this, walking into his apartment right now, seeing him with his pants down and his cock in his hand, flushed and leaking. would you laugh? would you blush? would you drop to your knees and let him finish on your lips, glossy and perfect andâ
he comes with a muted groan, his head tipping back, eyes screwed shut as his release spills over his fingers, hot and messy. his breath shakes, a ragged exhale that leaves him hollow. the aftershocks pulse through him, and he slumps in his chair, the video still playing, your voice oblivious to the wreckage youâve caused.
he pauses the frame. your mouth is mid-word, forming the shape of âoops,â lips parted just enough to make his chest ache. he wipes his hand on a paper towel from his desk, crumpled and stained from earlier sins. doesnât look at himself. doesnât think.
exports the file without touching a thing. names it âfinal_edit.mov.â then saves another copy, the raw footage, every sigh and rustle preserved. he names it âjesusfuckingchrist.mp4â and buries it in a folder labeled âmisc_ref.â
he tries to normalize it.
âitâs just grading,â he mutters the next time he opens the project, the lie sour on his tongue. âjust adjusting white balance.â but the playback bar hasnât moved from your thighs. he doesnât touch the colors. not really.
he zooms in under the excuse of checking âgrain smoothing,â but itâs just your lip, caught between your teeth, your breath clipped at the edges like youâre holding back.
he tells himself heâs just learning.
every artist has their muse, right? except now he edits to your audio. he used to play podcasts, background noise to keep his brain from spiraling.
now? your breathing is layered into the timeline, a track heâs labeled âvox_ref.â he loops your laugh in reverse, lets it pan from left to right like itâs some surround sound experience.
âthis is practice,â he whispers, dragging eq curves around nonsense, boosting the highs until your voice is sharp and intimate. âiâm experimenting with filters.â
right. filters. filters until your voice sounds like itâs right by his ear, like youâre whispering in bed, your breath warm against his skin. he plays a clip of you saying âdo you like this one?â over and over, the words detached from context.
he doesnât even care what youâre referring to anymore. heâs got that part memorized, the way your voice dips, soft and unsure, like youâre asking him to love you.
the next class is worse.
you walk past him in that fuzzy pink shrug thing, one sleeve slipping off your shoulder, and itâs like a bomb goes off in his chest. the fabric clings to you, soft and teasing, and he wants to grab it, pull it down, see how much skin youâll let him have.
you lean down to plug your charger in, your jeans riding lowâtoo low, the kind of low that makes him wonder how theyâre even allowed on campus. he catches a glimpse of your underwear, a flash of lace, and his brain whites out.
he glares at his laptop, scoffs under his breath. âthat outfitâs⊠desperate.â the word feels like a blade, sharp and mean, but itâs all heâs got to keep you at a distance.
your head tilts, innocent, eyes wide like youâre genuinely curious. âyou think so?â you say it like you mean it, like you donât already know the answer, like you havenât watched your own footage and seen what heâs seen.
he shrugs, keeps scowling, doesnât look at you. his fingers grip the edge of his laptop too hard, knuckles white. behind the screen, heâs got a paused frame of you licking lip gloss off your thumb, minimized in the corner. itâs been open since he got here.
his file structure is disintegrating. he used to name things with logicâtimestamps, project codes, version numbers. now his desktop looks like a manifesto, a digital shrine to his unraveling. âvlog_tryon_final.mov.â âedit_3alt.mp4.â âfuckmeagain_laughcut.mov.â thereâs a folder called âNOT work (unless)â that he doesnât even open anymore, too afraid of what heâll find.
he tries to draw a line, but itâs blurry. always blurry. he doesnât know where the edit ends and obsession begins. when he dreams, he dreams about zippersâexcept theyâre not zipzers. theyâre your legs, parting slow and deliberate, your breath hitching as he pulls you closer.
a new text lights up his screen:
 hey! idk if the last one looks good⊠should i redo it? it felt kinda awkward lol sorry T_T
you sound insecure, unsure, your words dripping with that self-conscious charm that makes his chest hurt. he stares at the message, his thumb hovering over the keyboard, his mind spiraling.
you donât know, do you? you donât know what youâre doing to him, how your voice alone is enough to make him hard again.
he types:
looks clean. donât worry about it.
satoru watches the word clean sit there like a fucking lie. his dick twitches, traitor that it is.
he hates himself.
but he opens the raw file again. scrubs through, frame by frame, until he finds that timestampâwhere you moan, soft and accidental, like you didnât mean to let it slip. he watches it, his headphones sealing him in with the sound of you. he exports that single second, names it âmoan_finalgodhelpme.mp4,â and tucks it away like a secret heâll never confess.
the timeline sits open, your frozen frame staring back at him. he doesnât close it. doesnât want to.
it starts with static in his skull.
not the loud, electric kind that chokes you up or begs to be noticed. itâs quiet. a whir, like an old fan that never shuts off, humming behind his thoughts. when satoru drags his mouse across the screen and sees your name still on the folder, it buzzesâfaint, familiar, a sickness with your scent.
he changes the name from âNOT work (unless)â to âARCHIVE_21,â moves it to a different directory, pretends itâs work, or dead, or both. but the static doesnât stop. it clings, sticky and warm, like your laugh looping in his headphones.
it doesnât help.
not when he dreams in highlighter gloss and those half-bitten whines you make when stretching, your body arching just so. not when he wakes up rutting into damp sheets, mouthing your name like a damn prayer, his hips jerking against nothing. the shame burns, but itâs not enough to make him stop.
satoruâs trying.
really.
he takes up freelance gigs, edits wedding footage for some guy he hasnât spoken to since second year. overlays cheesy filters, mutes the groomâs ugly laugh, syncs the vows to some overused acoustic track. itâs clean. respectable. sterile enough to make him itch, like heâs wearing someone elseâs skin. but the folderâs still there, buried in his drive like it knows heâll come back.
2:03 a.m.
his inbox pings, a sharp sound that cuts through the drone of his pc fans. your name lights up the screen, and his chest tightens before he even reads the message.
hiii satoru!! sorry for the late send, been sooo busy <3 can u take a look at this haul vid? i tried smth spicy but idk if itâs too much⊠lmk what u think pretty pls!!
march haul (raw).mp4
he knows he shouldnât. thereâs no logical reason, no business context, just the weight of your wordsâspicy, pretty plsâsinking into his gut. but his hands move on their own, clicking download, the progress bar filling like a fuse burning down.
click.
of course he does.
the video starts soft, your bedroom light diffused to a golden haze, casting shadows that dance across rumpled sheets. it looks like youâve been tossing in them all day, the fabric creased and inviting.
youâre in laceâbarely. something soft pink and flimsy, a slip of fabric that clings to your curves like itâs begging to be torn off.
your thighâs out, one leg bent just enough to draw his eye, and the cameraâs angled low, too low, like you meant to frame it this way.
âgod, i hope this one fitsâŠâ your voice is breathy, a little strained, like youâre fighting the fabric. you adjust a strap, your fingers lingering on the lace, and your lip catches between your teeth, glossy and pink, a casual gesture thatâs anything but. his breath stutters, a sharp inhale that burns his throat.
âoops, sorryâtoo much cleavage?â you laugh, not to yourself but at him.
he knows it.
his cock knows it, twitching against the seam of his sweatpants. the screen shakes as you set the camera on something unsteadyâa stack of books, maybeâand it rocks just as you turn around, hips swaying, your ass hugged by that tiny thong, the lace cutting into your skin like a claim. you glance back over your shoulder, smirk poised like a dagger, eyes glinting in the soft light.
âi bet youâd pause right here, wouldnât you?â
he does.
the video cuts mid-breath, and he doesnât hear the silence. heâs frozen, hand halfway down, brain wiped clean. the frame lingers on your ass, the curve of it framed by lace, and his mouth is dry, his pulse hammering so loud it drowns out the static.
ping.
march haul (real).mp4
oops. wrong send lol. this is the real one!
his screen is still painted with the freeze-frame of your ass. his dickâs straining so hard it aches, a dull throb that makes him shift in his chair. he doesnât respond, doesnât move for a full minute, just stares at the message, the word oops taunting him. thenâ
he saves both files. drags them into âARCHIVE_21â with a trembling cursor, his fingers clumsy on the trackpad. he opens the raw one again, slower this time, one hand on his lap, the other fisting his sheets until the fabric creaks.
youâre back on screen, adjusting the strap again, your laugh curling through his headphones like smoke. his hand slips under his waistband, and heâs already leaking, the tip slick and sensitive as he grips himself.
he strokes slow, deliberate, savoring the friction, but his mindâs elsewhereâon the hentai heâs spent years jerking off to, the doujins with dog-eared pages and cum-stained corners.
he pictures you like those girls, bent over and begging, your lace thong pushed to the side as he fucks you from behind, your moans louder, needier, than anything youâve let slip on camera.
he imagines pinning you to those rumpled sheets, your thighs trembling under his hands, your ass bouncing with every thrust. no teasing giggles, no coy glancesâjust you, fucked out and whimpering, his name on your lips as he buries himself deep, so deep you canât think.
his hand speeds up, the slick sound obscene in the quiet of his room. he scrubs the timeline back, pauses on the moment you turn, your smirk sharp and knowing.
he wants to wipe it off, wants to fuck you until youâre too wrecked to smile, until youâre clawing at the sheets and sobbing his name. he imagines your cunt, tight and wet, gripping him as he pounds into you, the lace of your thong rubbing raw against his skin.
itâs not enough to watch you anymore, not enough to stroke himself to your voiceâhe wants to ruin you, wants to feel you break under him, wants to make you his in a way those 2d girls never could.
he cums with a low, breathy whisper of your name, his hips jerking up into his hand. itâs intense, almost painful, spilling over his fingers and onto the hem of his shirt.
his chest heaves, his vision blurring as he slumps back, the video still playing, your laugh oblivious to the mess heâs become. he opens it again, doesnât touch himself this timeâjust watches, memorizes, eyes glassy and mouth parted.
at one point, he swears he moans with you, a soft sound that slips out unbidden, his body betraying him even when heâs spent. when he edits the ârealâ file, heâs a machine. no stutters, no slips, just sharp keystrokes and surgical cuts, trimming shaky frames and boosting your voice until itâs crisp.
the guilt claws at him, a dull ache in his chest, but it only makes the next orgasm worseâand better. he exports it, names it âhaul_march_final.mov,â and saves the raw file to a new subfolder: âstills_ref.â he doesnât name the second copy. doesnât need to. itâs just for him.
he plays it cool in class. âwow. another fit straight outta your grandmaâs closet,â he scoffs as you pass, voice dripping with mockery, lips curling into something lazy and mean.
but his gaze flickersâjust once, low and quick, like heâs checking for danger. and there it is. a flash of soft pink lace against the curve of your thigh as you shift your bag higher up your shoulder. just a sliver. deliberate.
he knows that lace. knows it from the raw footage, from the way it hugged your skin under golden light. his smirk falters for half a second, a crack in his armor.
you turn your head, slow as syrup, and smile at him over your shoulder. itâs airy, innocent, ditzy enough to play dumb, poisonous enough to feel like a threat. âmm? that bad, huh?â your voice is light, but your eyes linger a moment too long, sharp and knowing, like youâre peeling him open.
you take your seat two rows away, crossing one leg over the other with careful grace. your skirt rides up, just enough to show the edge of that lace again, and your fingers toy absentmindedly with the hem, brushing the fabric like itâs a game.
he doesnât blink.
he knows whatâs under that skirt, knows the way that lace bites into your skin when you move just like that. heâs seen it in soft lighting, tangled with shadows and sighs. he knows, and you know, and neither of you say a word.
he canât breathe.
his hand trembles as he grips his pen, scrawling nonsense on the corner of his notesârandom numbers, jagged lines, anything to keep his fingers busy.
someoneâs asking a question about identity and performance, something about how we present ourselves versus how we wish to be perceived, and satoruâs already halfway to standing.
âsorry. washroom.â his voice cracks halfway through the lie, too sharp, too rushed.
satoru stumbles into the menâs room like heâs escaping a crime scene, the door clicking shut behind him. palm flat against cold tile, forehead pressed to the inside of his wrist, he tries to breathe, tries to think of anything elseâcode, deadlines, the wedding edit heâs behind on.
but itâs you.
always you. your smile, your laugh, the lace peeking out like a taunt.
heâs already hard, already leaking, the front of his jeans tight and unforgiving. he fumbles with the button, shoves them down just enough, and grips himself, his hand shaking as he strokes.
he closes his eyes and sees youânot the you in class, not the you playing dumb, but the you from his fantasies, the you heâs built from hentai panels and late-night desperation. he imagines you on your knees, lace thong pulled down, your cunt glistening as he fucks you against the bathroom sink.
no giggles, no teasingâjust raw, desperate need, your moans echoing off the tiles as he slams into you, his hands bruising your hips, your body arching to take him deeper.
he wants you messy, wants you marked, wants to fill you until youâre dripping, until youâre his in a way thatâs permanent.
he strokes faster, his breath hitching, his teeth sinking into his knuckles to muffle the groan clawing up his throat. he cums hard, too fast, his knees buckling as it spills over his hand, hot and shameful. he shakes, gasping, his forehead slick against the tile, and thinks of lace. thinks of lip gloss. thinks of your voice saying âoopsâ like itâs a sin.
it doesnât take long for his desktop to become an altar.
the backgroundâs still you, a freeze-frame from the first video, your lip gloss shimmering and fingers caught mid-twist in your hair. he tells himself itâs temporary, just a visual reference.
itâs been three weeks.
folders on folders: âhauls > favs > zoom_ins > stills > pantyshots.â âaudio_samples > moan_loop > breath_only.wav.â âcolor tests > gloss_ref > lips.png.â
some nights, he replays a single frame just to watch your mouth form the word âfuck,â slows it down, isolates the syllables, pretends youâre saying his name instead.
the worst part?
youâre still pretending nothingâs changed. still calling them âfavors,â still sending content like itâs work, like itâs nothing.
but your outfits are shorter, your giggles stick to the air longer, your eyes linger like youâre testing something. and when you purr, âyouâre sooo good at this, satoru,â with that saccharine lilt, your voice curling around his name like a caress, he bites the inside of his cheek just to keep quiet. fists the sheets at night and prays.
he moans your name in the dark, face hot with shame, and hates how much he wants you to hear it.
satoruâs become sleep-deprived, dark smudges nesting beneath his eyes like fingerprints left behind by guilt or obsession or both. he wears his glasses more lately, less out of need and more as a buffer between him and the worldâbetween him and you.
the lenses catch the glow of his new triple-monitor setup, a sleek beast he told himself was for coding, for editing, for multitasking. not for keeping your videos looping on the side monitor while he pretends to work on the main one. not for that at all.
your folderâs pinned in quick access, a permanent fixture in his file explorer. he keeps it open in the background at all times, a digital pulse that hums alongside his pc fans. second nature now, like breathing or wanting. not unlike a shrine.
in class, he pretends to take notes, his stylus scratching nonsense on his tablet. heâs not. heâs watching a gif on his phone, hidden under the deskâa loop of your tongue dragging slow across lip gloss, eyes soft with focus like youâre painting yourself pretty just for him. the gifâs only three seconds, but heâs memorized every frame, every flicker of your lashes. his thumb swipes to replay it, again, again, until his vision blurs.
ctrl+shift+eject brain.exe.
three days pass, and you havenât messaged. he checks your chat thread more than he breathesâopens, closes, re-opens, scrolling through your old texts like theyâll reveal something new. every flicker of hope is a false start, a phantom ping that makes his chest lurch. heâs pathetic, he knows it, but knowing doesnât stop the itch.
then:
ping.
april haul (suits).mov
hii satoru!! new haul vid for u to check <3 tried some swimsuits this time, hope itâs not too boring to trim hehe. lmk what u think!!â
he nearly drops his phone, his thumb smudging the screen as he fumbles to download. his new setup hums to life, the main monitor flashing with code he hasnât touched in hours, the side monitor already open to your folder.
he drags the file into premiere, the timeline blooming across the screen, but his eyes are on the raw video, already playing on the right monitor, your voice spilling through his headphones like honey.
the videoâs different this time. the cameraâs lower, like itâs been left on a desk or shelf, pointing slightly upward to frame you from your knees to just above your head. your bed makes a cozy blur in the background, sheets tangled like an invitation.
youâre in a bikini top that isnât trying very hard to stay on, thin strings knotted loosely at your neck and back, the fabric barely containing you. âmmm. does this scream summer, or slut?â you giggle, feigned innocence like frosting over heat, your voice curling around the words like you know exactly what theyâll do to him.
you play with the strings at your chest, tugging, adjusting, your fingers brushing the swell of your breasts. then, softer, breathier, to the lens: âbaby, help me pickâŠâ
baby.
it breaks him all over again, a crack that runs straight through his chest. his cock twitches, already hard, straining against his boxers.
everything after that gets softer, lazier, dangerous in how intimate it feels. thereâs no performative energy nowâjust casual, candid seduction, your movements slow, like youâre not hurrying for anyone. like you know exactly whoâs watching and how long heâll linger.
when you shrug a dress off your shoulders, you sigh, the sound catching in your throat. when you twist to adjust a strap, you hum, low and absentminded. and when you struggle with a clasp at your back, your fingers fumbling, you moanâsoft, unintentional, a sound that slips out like it surprised even you.
satoruâs thumb slams the spacebar, pausing the video, rewinding three seconds to hear it again. he watches the way your lips part, the way your brows twitch, the way your body shifts like youâre chasing the sensation.
heâs already leaking, his boxers damp as he shoves them down, his hand wrapping around himself. the side monitor loops the raw footage, your moan playing over and over, while the main monitor holds the paused frame of your parted lips. he strokes slow at first, his grip tight, his thumb swiping over the tip where heâs slick and sensitive.
his mind slips to the doujins heâs hoarded, the hentai heâs spent years chasingâthe girls with flushed cheeks and desperate eyes, fucked raw and begging for more. but now itâs you, not some inked fantasy, and itâs so much filthier.
he imagines you sprawled across your bed, that bikini top ripped off, your thighs spread wide as he fucks you deep, relentless, your cunt clenching around him as you sob his name. no teasing, no gigglesâjust you, wrecked and dripping, your nails clawing his back as he takes you again and again, each thrust harder, messier, until youâre nothing but his.
his hand speeds up, the slick sound loud in his room, mixing with your looped moan. he wants you pinned beneath him, wants to feel you squirm, wants to fuck you until the bed creaks and your voice breaks, until youâre begging like those hentai girls, your glossed lips trembling as you say his nameâsatoru, please, more.
he imagines filling you, his cum leaking down your thighs, your body marked by him in ways he canât unsee. itâs not enough to watch, not enough to strokeâhe wants to own you, wants to make you his in every way those 2d fantasies taught him to crave.
he cums hard, forehead pressed to his desk, a low groan tearing from his throat as it spills over his hand, his keyboard, the edge of his new setup. his breath is ragged, like heâs run a marathon, his glasses fogging slightly as he gasps.
the side monitor still plays, your voice oblivious, your moan looping like a hymn. he doesnât stop the video, just slumps back, spent and shaking, and watches again, his hand twitching like itâs not done.
it doesnât take long for his room to reek of sweat and sin.
he edits shirtless now, sometimes in boxers, always hard, always leaking. every fileâs renamed with trembling hands: âwifey_take7.mov.â âwifey_raw.mp4.â
he syncs your sighs to his lo-fi playlist, turns it into a lullaby, falls asleep to the sound of your breath. sometimes he slows your voice just to hear âbabyâ dragged out into velvet, makes gifs of your hands skimming your hips, kisses the screen when heâs drunk enough to forget shame.
you, on the other hand, donât break character.
in class, you chew your pen and lean forward, the arch of your spine exact, your cleavage subtleâbarely a tease, just enough to make his throat tighten. he looks away with a clenched jaw, adjusts himself under the desk, twice, his jeans unforgiving.
you whisper to a friend and giggle, and he lipreads, thinks he sees the words âcanât wait,â but maybe heâs hallucinating, maybe not. it doesnât matter.
he starts responding to the clips aloud.
âfuck yes, that one.â âspin again, baby.â sometimes he mumbles your name like a prayer, sometimes he chokes it into his pillow. every orgasm has your name carved into it, a brand he canât erase.
one night, he opens a file to edit, drags it into premiere, but he doesnât touch it. just watches, headphones in, barely breathing. not a content creator now, not a student, not even a manâjust a creature of need, and you his ritual, his muse, his goddess.
the screen shows you adjusting the straps of a silky babydoll, the lighting warm, your thighs bare, half-tucked under you as you sit prettily at the edge of your bed.
âokay, so this oneâs⊠like, totally giving âcome to bedâ energy, right?â you giggle, voice light, teeth sinking into your glossed lip as you bounce once, soft and natural, the fabric barely covering your chest.
satoru groans low in his throat, not even trying to hide it. âitâs giving bend over,â he mutters, lips twitching, his side monitor looping the raw footage, his main screen frozen on your smile. âfuck, look at youâŠâ
you reach behind you, struggle with the clasp, wiggle your shoulders like youâre teasing whoeverâs behind the camera. âoof. thatâs tight⊠should i size up?â a breathy laugh follows, your sigh melting into it.
he licks his lips, your audio crystal-clear in his headphones. youâre right there, talking to him. ânah, baby,â he croons, eyes fixed on the curve of your spine as you turn. âtightâs perfect. keeps the goods in place.â
you blow a kiss at the lens. âhope youâre not bored yet,â you say with a wink. âi saved the cutest for lastâŠâ
you bend off-frame, your ass peeking just above the edge of the bed, round and inviting in cotton panties with lace trim, and when you rise again, your hands hold something sheer and tiny. âtadaaa,â you whisper, eyes glinting with mischief. âthis oneâs for my favorite viewer.â
00:05:46âsatoru slams the shortcut, timestamp saved. a second later, he screenshots, then again, then again, frame by frame, until he finds the exact one where your lipâs caught between your teeth and your ass is still halfway in the air.
âfucking perfect,â he mutters, breath uneven. he pulls the image up on his main screen, zooms in, sharpens it, runs it through noise reduction. the side monitor loops the raw video, your voice sweet and teasing, while the right monitor plays a gif of your earlier moan, your lips parted in that soft, accidental sound.
his handâs already moving, shoving his boxers down, his cock springing free, hard and leaking like itâs been waiting for this.Â
he grips himself, rough and urgent, no pretense of patience. the new setupâs perfectâyour video on the side, his code on the main screen like heâs working, but itâs all you, every pixel, every sound.
he strokes in time with your giggle, his eyes flicking between the gif of your moan and the screenshot of your ass, his mind spiraling into the filthiest corners of his hentai-soaked brain.
he imagines you on that bed, face down, ass up, the babydoll hiked to your waist as he fucks you so hard the headboard cracks. he wants you screaming, wants your cunt pulsing around him, wants to pull your hair and make you look at him as he fills you, over and over, until youâre a mess, until youâre his completely.
his strokes are frantic, his breath hitching, his hips bucking into his hand. he pictures you tied to the bed, like that one doujin he read last month, your wrists bound with those same bikini strings, your thighs trembling as he fucks you through one orgasm into the next.
he wants to cum inside you, wants to watch it drip out, wants to push it back in with his fingers and make you lick them clean. itâs not enough to jerk off anymore, not enough to dreamâhe wants to break you, wants to make you real, wants to fuck you until youâre as addicted to him as he is to you.
he cums with a choked growl, his head tipping back, glasses slipping down his nose as it spills over his hand, his desk, the sticky mess splattering his keyboard.
heâs shaking, gasping, his chest heaving as the side monitor loops your voice, your âbabyâ purring like a mantra. his wristâs sticky, his room a haze of sweat and shame, but he doesnât care. heâs not even really here.
youâre everywhere nowâthree monitors, three altars, your image burned into his retinas. heâd worship on his knees if you asked.
the next day, another file:
april haul (closeups).mp4
sorry! idk if this oneâs helpful but i liked the shots hehe
he doesnât unzip his pants. doesnât need to. heâs already throbbing from the inside out, his body reacting to your name alone. he clicks, watches, kneels, and whispers your name like a benediction, the static in his skull louder than ever.
it starts with a ping.
innocuous. a single pixel shift on the main monitor mid-code, just as satoruâs debugging a script for a deadline he already missed. his side monitor hums with your last video, paused on that frame where your lipâs caught between your teeth, and the third monitorâs open to a half-finished render he hasnât touched in days. he glances lazily at the notification, expecting another reminder from suguru to shower or eatâ
but no. itâs you.
hey⊠do u do filming too?
his fingers freeze. heart jams, a dull thud in his chest. the cursor blinks, waiting, mocking. he doesnât think. doesnât breathe. his glasses slip down his nose, and he doesnât fix them. the words burn into his retinas, and his cock twitches before he can process why.
yeah. totally. what kind of shoot?
he sends it, his thumb trembling over the enter key. no reply. not for five whole minutes. the wait is a crucifixion, each second stretching into eternity. he keeps opening and closing the chat, rereading your words like they might shift into something dirtier, something more.
his triple-monitor setup glows, your frozen frame on the side monitor staring at him, lips parted, eyes glinting. heâs already leaking in his pants, a damp spot spreading against his thigh.
then:
just a casual thing. home setup. come over?
he reads it twice. three times. his breath catches, sharp and shallow, like heâs been punched. come over. your dorm. your space. heâs hard, achingly so, his boxers tight and unforgiving. he doesnât reply, just slams his laptop shut, grabs his camera bag, and stumbles out the door.
he shows up twenty minutes later, barely remembered to wear deodorant, definitely forgot his dignity. his high-end sony alpha mirrorlessâloaded with a lens that costs more than most peopleâs rentâbounces against his chest as he knocks. his palms are slick, his glasses fogging slightly from the heat of his own nerves.
you open the door with a giggle, wrapped in a pastel pink robe that might as well be air. it clings to the curve of your waist, parts at the thigh, revealing soft skin that makes his throat burn. your hairâs still damp, sticking to your collarbones, and the scent of vanilla lotion hits him like a drug. âthanks for coming! iâm kinda nervousâŠâ
he wants to bark out same, but his jaw locks. he swallows instead, the motion too loud in his ears. âno problem.â his voice is gravel, like heâs choking on his own want. he steps inside, and your dorm swallows him wholeâwarm, cutesy, a pastel fever dream of plush throw pillows, fairy lights, and a pink velvet couch that looks too soft, too inviting.
heâs already imagining you bent over it, your robe hiked up, your moans echoing off the walls. it smells like you sprayed your strawberry perfume over every surface, dizzying, suffocating. his glasses fog again.
he sets up the tripod with shaking hands, the sonyâs weight grounding him just enough to keep from falling apart. you bounce around the living room, humming, fluffing pillows on the couch, fixing your gloss in a heart-shaped mirror propped against a shelf.
âdoes this lighting make me look washed out?â you ask, stepping back, tilting your head. then you bend to adjust a lamp, and your robe parts just enough to reveal the gentle curve of your ass, bare except for a sliver of lace.
he sees. pretends he didnât. fumbles the lens cap, twice, the plastic clattering to the floor. his face burns, but he keeps his eyes on the camera, adjusting settings he doesnât need to touch.
you brush past him again and again, your bare arm glancing his, silk whispering across his knuckles when you pass. he smells shampoo in the air, thick and sweet, and itâs you, all you, sinking into his lungs. âyou nervous?â you tease, voice light, a giggle curling at the edges.
he scoffs, wiping his palm against his jeans, the denim rough against his slick skin. âpfft. nah. iâve filmed worse.â a lie, bold and brittle, his voice too tight to sell it.
âworse than me?â you pout, stepping closer, close enough that he can feel the warmth of your breath. âouch.â
âi didnât say that.â his voice cracks, a hairline fracture. heâs too aware of you, of the way your robe slips an inch, of the way your eyes glint like youâre playing with him.
you tilt your head, wide-eyed, all fake innocence. âsooo⊠you have filmed pretty girls before?â
he falters, breath stuttering in his chest. heâs a virgin, hasnât touched a girl in years, hasnât wanted toânot when hentaiâs been enough, when doujins have been his only lovers. but youâre real, and youâre here, and youâre breaking him.
âno one like you,â he says, unfiltered, raw, the words slipping out before he can stop them.
your lips curl, slow and sweet, a smile that says i know. âhm. figured.â
you disappear into your bedroom for a few minutes, the door clicking shut. he pretends to adjust the white balance, tweaking settings on the sony that are already perfect, but really heâs staring at the door like it owes him salvation.
his cockâs throbbing, a dull ache that wonât quit, and he shifts, trying to ease the pressure. the living room feels too small, the pink couch too soft, the fairy lights too intimate. heâs imagining you sprawled across that couch, your robe gone, your thighs spread, his camera capturing every gasp.
the door opens. you emerge. lingerie set, pale and sheer, a mini skirt that barely qualifies, lip gloss freshly reapplied. you look like a doll, saccharine and sinful, every curve a taunt. âcan you help me zip this?â you turn, bare back exposed, the zipper halfway up, your spine a perfect line that begs to be touched.
he steps forward, too close, his exhale brushing your shoulder. his fingers graze your skinâsoft, warm, realâand you shiver, a small, deliberate tremor. he pulls the zipper up with trembling hands, the metal catching once, his breathing uneven. the distance between you shatters into nothing, the air thick with static.
âyouâre doing this on purpose,â he rasps, low in your ear, his voice rough with want.
âdoing what?â you whisper, fake innocence thick as honey, your head tilting just enough to catch his eye.
you look back at him, lashes fluttering, lips parted, glossy and pink. he breaks.
âfuck.â
he grabs you, his hands rough on your hips, your mouths crashing togetherâteeth, tongue, gasps. your lip gloss smears against his cheek, sweet and sticky, and he groans into the kiss, devouring you.
you moan into his mouth, legs wrapping around his hips as he lifts you onto the counter, the edge biting into your thighs. youâre silk and heat and sin beneath his hands, and heâs forgotten everything elseâhis camera, his code, his shame. only you exist now.
you feel his hard-on through his jeans, pressed against your thighs, and heâs panting, his breath stuttering against your skin as he kisses down your jaw, your neck, the ridge of your spine. his mouth is everywhere, like heâs starved, like heâs trying to memorize you with his tongue.
his glasses slip down, and he grins against your collarbone. âneed to get a better look,â he mutters, a flimsy excuse to lean closer, until the fog of his breath warms your skin. he bites your collarbone, hard, groaning when he leaves a mark. âwanna see that in playback.â
he drops to his knees without hesitation, a virginâs worship, reverence born from years of hentai and nothing else. his fingers dig into your thighs, spreading them wide, and he groans like heâs just found salvation. he runs his tongue along the inner part first, slow and teasing, so close to the lace of your panties but not touching what you want.
you try to close your legs, but he forces them open, his grip bruising, his mouth finding the wet spot through the fabric. âfuck, youâre soaked,â he growls, voice muffled, his tongue dragging heavy and slow, the lace rough against your clit. âbeen wet for me this whole time, huh? fuckinâ tease.â
you whimper, hips bucking, and he moans into you, the vibration making you gasp. he licks through the panties, relentless, his glasses slipping halfway down his nose but he doesnât care.
âyou taste better than i dreamed,â he says, his voice hoarse, hentai dialogue spilling out like itâs natural. he sucks at the fabric, tongue pressing harder, and youâre trembling, your hands fisting his hair as you grind against his face. heâs messy, desperate, his moans louder than yours, like heâs the one about to cum. you do, hard, a cry tearing from your throat as you shudder against his mouth, and he doesnât stop, lapping at the soaked lace like itâs his last meal.
he presses his cheek to your thigh, sticky and glistening, looking up at you with glassy eyes. âfirst oneâs mine,â he says, grinding his hips into the floor, his jeans tight with his own need. you donât think he even realizes heâs doing it. he spreads you open with his fingers, peeling the panties aside, watching your hole twitch with a hunger that makes his mouth water.
âlook at that,â he murmurs, almost to himself, his voice dripping with awe. âfuckinâ perfect.â he slides two fingers in, slow at first, then deeper, curling them just right, like heâs memorized every doujin panel that showed him how. âshitâiâve seen this in hentai but itâs better. fuck, itâs real.â
his fingers pump, slick and steady, and youâre moaning, head thrown back, the counter digging into your hips. he adds a third, stretching you, his free hand jerking himself through his jeans, matching the pace of his fingers inside you. âso tight, baby. youâre gonna feel so good around my cock.â
he spits on your pussy, a quick, filthy gesture, his eyes locked on yours as it drips down. âthey never show that part right in hentai. had to test it myself.â you moan, loud and broken, and he moans louder, his fingers slipping out with a wet squelch. he licks them clean, slow, eyes fluttering shut like heâs savoring you. âfuckâwant it all.â
he stands, trembling, his jeans tented painfully. âcan i?â his voice is small, almost pleading, a crack in his bravado. you nod, and he fumbles with his belt, shoving his jeans down just enough. he lines himself up, his cock thick and leaking, the tip brushing your entrance. âyouâre so warmâholy shitâyouâre squeezing meâfuckââ
he slides in, slow at first, gasping as you take him, your cunt tight and slick around him. heâs a virgin, but he knows this, knows the rhythm from years of jerking off to scenes just like this. he freezes, trying not to cum, his glasses fogging as he pants. you clench down, deliberate, and he slaps your thigh, a quick, sharp sting that earns him a whine.
âdonâtâfuck, donât do that yet.â
he pulls out, just to slam back in, harder, the counter creaking under you. his rhythmâs sloppy, desperate, but he finds it, each thrust deeper, rougher. âlook at you,â he growls, his voice pure filth, hentai dialogue spilling free. âtaking my cock like a good little slut. you love this, donât you? fuckinâ made for me.â he licks the tears running down your cheek, his tongue hot and greedy. âcrying already? baby, iâm not even close to done.â
you moan his name, and he loses it, his thrusts turning frantic, messy, like heâs trying to ruin you. âfilm it. show me what you see,â you gasp, and he fumbles for his phone, almost dropping it with how hard heâs shaking.
the camera app opens in a blur of fingers, then steadies, the lens catching you spread wide beneath him, thighs trembling, pussy stuffed full of his cock. he holds it there, watching the way you flutter around him, his breath ragged. âwatch this later and see how ruined you look, baby,â he pants, voice hoarse, wild.
he leans in, still recording, whispering filth against your ear. âthatâs right. take it. cry for me. i want you loud.â his other hand drags the mic closer, the sonyâs external recorder capturing every slick thrust, every broken sob, every wet squelch, loud and obscene.
he fucks you harder, the counter shaking, your tits bouncing with each thrust. âgonna fuck you on every piece of furniture in here,â he growls, his voice low, unhinged. âthat couch? gonna bend you over it. that table? gonna spread you wide. your bed? gonna fill you till youâre screaming.â
you clench around him, and he groans, his hips stuttering. âfuck, you like that? you want me to wreck you everywhere, donât you?â you nod, gasping, and he slaps your thigh again, harder, leaving a red mark. âsay it, baby. tell me you want it.â
âi want it,â you whimper, voice breaking, and he grins, feral, his thrusts turning punishing. you cum again, a shuddering mess, your cry echoing in the mic as your cunt pulses around him, slick dripping down your thighs. he doesnât stop, doesnât slow, his cock throbbing as he fucks you through it.
âgonna fill you up,â he pants, his voice cracking, hentai fantasies spilling out. âgonna cum so deep youâll feel me for days. you want that, donât you? want my cum dripping out of you?â
you nod, moaning, and he loses it, slamming into you one last time as he cums, a guttural groan tearing from his throat. itâs hot, messy, spilling inside you, and he keeps thrusting, shallow and desperate, like heâs trying to push it deeper.
satoru doesnât stop.
in fact, he lifts you, his arms wrapping under your thighs like youâre weightless, his cock still buried inside you, slick and pulsing. your head lolls against his shoulder, your breath hot against his neck, and he groans, low and guttural, as he carries you toward your bedroom.
the air shifts as he crosses the threshold, your perfume hitting him harder hereâfloral and sugary, the same scent that clings to your pillow, your wrist, your everything. itâs thicker in this room, curling around him like a trap, and he kicks the door shut behind him, the click loud in the quiet.
he pushes you toward the vanity, your back meeting the cool glass of the mirror with a soft thud. he bends you over it, slow and deliberate, his hands guiding your hips until your cheek presses against the surface, your breath fogging the reflection.
âlook at you,â he groans, angling his phone to capture the sceneâyour flushed face, your glossed lips parted, your eyes half-lidded in the mirror as you whine in embarassment.
âpretty little thing, still trying to act innocent.â his voice is rough, edged with hunger, and he shifts his hips, thrusting shallowly, keeping you pinned, reaching for your lip gloss.
you mumble something, a weak protest or plea, but he shuts it up with a swipe of your lip gloss across your mouth, his hand trembling as he paints your lips pink, the applicator slick and messy.
âperfect,â he says, pulling back just enough to admire the shine, the way it catches the light. then he pushes in again, deeper, and you both moan, the sound mingling in the air, caught by the sonyâs mic still recording from the tripod in the corner.
he kisses you messilyâgloss smearing, lips hungry, teeth clashing as he grinds his hips, slow and torturous, never breaking the rhythm. the camera stays on, the phone propped against a perfume bottle, capturing every gasp, every shudder.
âtaste so fuckinâ good,â he mutters against your mouth, his tongue chasing the sticky sweetness. âgonna kiss you till youâre dripping everywhere.â
satoru lays you on the bed next, gentle but urgent, his hands shaking as he props his phone against a stack of books on your nightstand, the camera app open, framing you perfectlyâyour body sprawled across the pastel sheets, thighs parted, lingerie barely clinging to your skin, the sheer fabric of your top stretched tight over your chest, the mini skirt hiked up to expose the lace of your panties.
he climbs over you, his glasses slipping down his nose, and pushes your legs up, hooking them over his shoulders, the angle forcing you open, vulnerable.
âfuck, you feel like heaven,â he says, voice cracking, almost reverent, as he slides back inside you, slow and deep, the heat of you pulling a groan from his throat. âiâm never gonna stop, baby.â
each thrust is deliberate, his hips rolling to hit that spot that makes you arch, your nails raking down his arms, leaving red trails heâll stare at later.
he kisses you through it, his mouth sloppy and desperate, swallowing your moans like theyâre his lifeline. the bed creaks under you, the fairy lights casting a soft glow over your tear-streaked face, and heâs lost in it, in the way you clench around him, so tight itâs like youâre made for him.
âso fuckinâ perfect,â he pants, his lips brushing your ear, his breath hot and uneven. âtaking my cock like you were born for it.â
he tugs at the straps of your lingerie top, pulling it down until your tits spill free, the sheer fabric catching under them, and he groans, his mouth latching onto a nipple, sucking hard until you whimper, your hips bucking against him.
but it doesnât lastâhe needs more, needs to see you break in ways heâs only imagined in the dark of his room, his hand on his cock and your videos on loop.
he pulls out, his dick slick and throbbing, and grabs your hips, flipping you with a low grunt. he drags you up by the waist, positioning you on your knees, your ass high, your face pressed into the sheets, the skirt still bunched around your hips. his hand slides up your spine, pushing your chest down, arching you just right, and he yanks the lace panties to the side, not bothering to take them off.
âthis is what you get for teasing me all these days,â he growls, his voice unhinged, as he lines himself up and thrusts in, hard and deep, the slap of skin sharp in the quiet room.
you whimper, muffled against the pillow, and he fucks harder, each thrust rocking you forward, the bedframe rattling, your moans spilling free despite the fabric. his phoneâs still recording, propped precariously, catching every angleâyour arched back, your trembling thighs, the way his cock disappears into you with every brutal snap of his hips.
âlook at that pussy,â he says, his free hand gripping your ass, spreading you open for the camera. âso greedy, swallowing me whole. you love this, donât you?â he tugs your hair, pulling your head back, forcing your cries to echo. âlouder, baby. let the whole fuckinâ dorm hear you.â
he slows, just to torment you, his hips grinding deep, making you squirm, your overstimulated body shaking under him. youâre teary, sobs catching in your throat, but he doesnât careâhe wants you loud, wants you broken. he leans down, his chest pressed to your back, and bites your shoulder, hard enough to leave a mark.
âcry for me,â he whispers, his voice rough, his hand slipping around to pinch your nipple, twisting until you gasp. âwanna hear you fall apart.â he pulls out, leaving you empty, and you whine, a desperate, keening sound that makes him smirk.
âpatience, princess,â he mocks, slapping your ass lightly, the sting making you clench around nothing.
satoru guides you up, turning you to face him, and pushes you back onto the bed, climbing over you. âwanna see you ride me,â he says, lying back against the headboard, his hands gripping your hips as you straddle him. he tugs the skirt off completely, tossing it aside, leaving you in just the stretched-out lingerie top and soaked panties.
âbounce,â he growls, his eyes locked on where you sink down onto him, slow and deliberate, your cunt stretching around him as you take him inch by inch. âshow the camera how you fuck me.â
his phoneâs angled to catch it allâyour tits bouncing, still half-caught in the sheer fabric, your thighs trembling, the way you gasp every time you drop down, taking him to the hilt.
you move, your hips rolling, your hands braced on his chest, and heâs sweating, his glasses slipping, his breath ragged. he doesnât let you slow, his hands lifting you, slamming you back down, making you take him deeper. âthatâs it,â he says, voice hoarse, his fingers digging into your ass, leaving bruises. âfuck yourself on my cock. show me how bad you need it.â
youâre sobbing now, tears streaming down your cheeks, but you keep going, your moans loud and broken, your body shaking from the overstimulation. he reaches up, ripping the lingerie top off completely, the fabric tearing with a sharp sound, and gropes your tits, squeezing hard, his thumbs brushing your nipples until you shudder.
âthese are mine now,â he says, his voice pure filth. âgonna mark âem up so you canât hide.â
heâs close, too close, but heâs not done.
he pushes you off, gentle but firm, and stands, pulling you with him toward the full-length mirror by your closet. he spins you, pressing your chest to the glass, your hands splaying against it, your tear-streaked reflection staring back.
he kicks your legs apart, his cock nudging your entrance, and slides in, slow and deep, his breath hot against your ear. âlook at you,â he says, his lips brushing your neck, his hands caging you against the mirror. âlook at my cock ruining your pussy.â
he thrusts, slow at first, watching your reflectionâyour tears, your drool, your gloss-smeared lips, the way your body shakes with every snap of his hips. âyou wanted a nerd? this nerdâs gonna fuckinâ break you.â
he fucks you harder, the mirror rattling, your moans bouncing off the walls, loud enough to wake the neighbors. âso fuckinâ pretty,â he pants, one hand slipping to your clit, rubbing messy, relentless circles. âgonna cum all over my cock, arenât you? gonna make a mess for me?â
you nod, sobbing, your body trembling, and he slaps your ass, the sting sharp, making you clench around him. âsay it, baby. tell me youâre mine.â
âiâm yours,â you gasp, voice breaking, tears streaming, and he cums with a raw groan, spilling inside you, hot and thick, his hips stuttering as he rides it out.
he doesnât pull out, doesnât stop, his cock still hard, still twitching as he fucks his cum deeper, the slick sound obscene. ânot done,â he mutters, his glasses fogged, his voice wrecked. âgonna make you cum again.â
he keeps going, relentless, his thrusts slower but deeper, each one pushing his cum back inside, making you shake. his fingers on your clit are merciless, circling fast, and youâre oversensitive, your body convulsing, your moans turning to desperate cries. âsatoruâfuckâtoo muchââ you sob.
he only slaps your thigh, sharp and stinging, and leans in, his lips grazing your ear. âtoo much? nah, princess, you can take it. wanna feel you squirt for me.â
he angles his hips, hitting that spot that makes your vision blur, and youâre gone, your body locking up as you cum, a gush of wet heat soaking his cock, dripping down your thighs, pooling on the floor. he groans, loud and broken, his hips jerking as he cums again, another hot rush filling you, spilling out around him.
âfuckâlook at that mess,â he pants, his hand smearing the slick between your legs, rubbing it into your skin. âall for me.â
but heâs not done. he pulls you back to the bed, laying you on your side, one leg hooked over his arm as he slides back in, his cock still hard, slick with your cum and his. âone more,â he begs, his voice cracking, his glasses crooked. âgimme one more, baby. need to feel you again.â
he thrusts slow, deep, his hand slipping between your legs to tease your oversensitive clit, and youâre crying, tears streaming, your body shaking from the intensity. he bites your neck, leaving marks, and whispers, âlove it when you cry for me. so fuckinâ loud, just how i like it.â
he shifts, rolling you onto your stomach, keeping you pinned as he fucks you into the mattress, his hand pressing your face into the sheets. âgonna cum all over you,â he growls, his thrusts turning sloppy, desperate. âgonna fill you up till youâre leaking me for days.â
you cum again, a shuddering, broken mess, your sobs muffled against the pillow, your body convulsing as you squirt again, weaker but still enough to soak the sheets. he cums with you, a third time, his groan hoarse, his hips stuttering as he spills inside you, the mess dripping out, pooling under you.
âfuckâbabyââ he gasps, his voice wrecked, his body shaking as he collapses against you, his glasses falling off completely, clattering to the floor.
âmine now,â he whispers, hoarse and ruined, his forehead pressed to your back, his breath hot and uneven. âyouâre mine now.â
you nod, too spent to speak, your body limp, your reflection in the mirror a blur of tears and gloss and him, the phone still recording every ragged breath, every whispered âfuckâ as he pulls you closer, not letting go.
but then silence swells, heavy and slow, filling the room like a fog. the airâs thick with the aftermathâsweat, cum, and the lingering sweetness of your perfume, still clinging to the sheets, to him.
satoruâs hands tremble where they hold you, one slipping down to fumble with his phone, stopping the recording with a clumsy tap, the other pressing flat against your stomach, grounding him, grounding you. your breaths are too loud, ragged and uneven, syncing in the quiet like a metronome.
he leans away slightly, just enough to grab a towel from the edge of your bed, awkward in the afterglow like he just realized he desecrated a temple. his glasses are gone, lost somewhere in the mess of sheets, and his hairâs a disaster, sticking to his forehead, damp with sweat.
âshit,â he mutters, voice barely above a whisper, too quiet for the boy who was growling filth ten minutes ago. âdid iâi mean. that wasnât too much, right?â thereâs a crack in his tone, a flicker of panic, like heâs replaying every thrust, every slap, every sobbed moan he pulled from you.
you donât answer at first, too dazed, too wrung out, your body still humming from the overstimulation, your thighs sticky and trembling.
your silence makes him spiral.
âfuck, i knew it. i pushed too hard. i got carried awayâi was recordingâfuckâi didnât even askââ his words tumble out, frantic, his hand raking through his hair as he sits up, eyes wide, searching your face for any sign of regret.
you turn to face him, slow and sore, your cheek pillowed against your arm, the motion making your body ache in the best way. your eyes are still wet, lashes clumped with tears, lips kiss-bruised and sticky with half-worn gloss, swollen from his teeth. you stare at himâthis boy, this dork, with his mussed-up hair and the panicked look of someone who just lived out a lifelong fantasy and now doesnât know what to do with it.
âiâm okay,â you say, your voice shredded, raw from screaming his name. âjesus, iâm so okay.â
he exhales, a shaky rush of air, like heâs been holding it in for hours. he collapses back against you, burying his face in your neck, his lips brushing the bite mark he left earlier. âfuck, you scared me,â he mumbles, his voice muffled, warm against your skin. then, quieter, almost unhinged: âwe just speedran my entire hentai folder.â
you laugh, a weak, breathy sound that bubbles up despite the ache in your ribs. âi know.â
âi didnât even know i could,â he says, his voice small, like heâs confessing a sin. âi havenât even done that in vr.â
you snort, the sound catching in your throat. ânerd.â
he groans, but itâs not annoyedâitâs mortified, the kind of sound that comes from knowing heâs exposed himself completely. âiâm never gonna recover from this. i glossed you like a fuckinâ bratz doll. i glossed you.â his hand gestures vaguely at your lips, still shiny and smeared, and you laugh again, the sound softer now, your body too tired for anything more.
you roll over fully, tugging him down into the blankets with you, the pastel sheets tangling around your legs. he follows like a kicked puppy, his head resting on your chest, his breath warm against your skin. you can feel his heart still racing, his body still trembling from the high.
âi just,â you mumble, your voice barely audible, âwanted you to notice me. back during the group project, you never looked at me. just your laptop. even when i wore that stupid short skirt.â
he goes silent, his fingers pausing where theyâre tracing lazy circles on your hip. then, in a voice so small it barely carries: ââŠyou wore that for me?â
you nod, your cheek brushing his hair.
he lets out the tiniest, most violated gasp, like youâve just rewritten his entire reality. âi thought you were just one of those girls who always looked hot. like, default setting.â his voice cracks on the last word, and you canât help the teasing smile that tugs at your lips.
âno,â you say, your tone playful despite the exhaustion. âi was trying to seduce the dumbass with the mecha desktop background.â
he muffles a sob into your chest, half-laugh, half-groan, his arms tightening around you. âi love mechaâŠâ he says, like itâs the most tragic thing in the world, and you hum, stroking his hair, your fingers catching in the sweaty strands.
âi know.â
a long pause settles over you, the kind that feels like it could stretch forever. the fairy lights twinkle softly, casting shadows across the room, and your perfume lingers, mixing with the musk of sex. his breathing slows, but he doesnât let go, his body still pressed to yours like heâs afraid youâll vanish.
then he lifts his head, his eyes serious, stripped of the wild edge they had before. âcan i⊠hold you properly? not likeâyâknowâbreeding press. like, real holding.â his cheeks flush, like heâs embarrassed to admit he wants something soft after all that.
âyou already folded me in half like a love letter,â you whisper, but you shift into his arms anyway, letting him pull you close. he wraps around you, tight, needy, his hands trembling like heâs still processing youâre real, not just pixels on a screen. his hold is desperate, like heâs trying to memorize the shape of you, every curve, every soft inch, in case this never happens again.
âdonât make fun of me,â he says, his voice muffled against your shoulder. âi think my crush on you just speedran into obsession.â thereâs a rawness to it, a confession that feels too big for the quiet, but it lands soft, like heâs finally letting it out.
âyouâre the one who begged for one more while crying into my shoulder,â you tease, your voice barely above a whisper, your fingers tracing the line of his jaw.
âstop,â he groans, burying his face deeper, his arms tightening like he could squeeze the embarrassment out of himself. âiâm gonna die.â
you press a kiss to his forehead, slow and deliberate, your lips lingering on his sweaty skin. âyouâre not gonna die,â you say, your tone soft but firm. âyouâre gonna eat me out on friday and wear your glasses while you do it.â
he whimpers, a pathetic, needy sound, his hips twitching involuntarily against your thigh. âsay less,â he mumbles, his voice wrecked, but thereâs a spark in it, like youâve just lit something in him again. you giggle, wrapping your leg around his waist, pulling him closer, your skin sticking to his in the humid air.
and in the quiet, as youâre both drifting offâsore, sticky, still catching your breathâhe says it again. not ruined this time, not even possessive. just low. certain. like heâs already planning his next sin.
âmine.â
you donât answer. just smile into the pillow, heart pounding. because maybe you are. and maybe youâll let him prove it again.
especially once he finds out what cosplay you ordered last week.
fridayâs going to be filthy.

Another Rise wild takes. (part 3)
and how April and Mikey are connected to the previous iteration(s).
Mikey quickly accepted Draxum in the family when M is also a hyper, self-serving and with the '03 environment made him a bothersome jerk. So he connects.
Rise April is also facing sexism like in 1987 version. She is loaded with more work than her other-gender peers. And then her work and effort goes invisible. And others are having fun now. (No how are yous. How was your day).
Edit: And smth about objectification and sex-appeal. For a joke, actually. Not serious.
She thinks boobs are boring (and things men can objectufy themselves more for...) since men have bigger and squshier tums. Like cow utter. You can quickly forget about those lemons, throw them away from mind and go for (appreciate) that pillow. That happens much much much much much later. 15 years into the future. Ok. This turned into NSFW. A joke. But kind of inappropriate for show.
Another fem reptile from '87 series can be a dragon (more like power-wise or metaphorically) or maybe someone (like powers) like reptile-Karai. Remember when I said her appearance can be wacky, witty, funny, surprising or unexpected like Lui Juitsu, Atomic Lass or Frida the assistant. Smth like that. A dragon also has a tail and no shell. And also in '03 tmnt in 5th seasons tmnt did became dragons with mystic manipulations. Also maybe, could be that they can have a tragic past and development,maybe, like Quarry and idw Venus, maybe (like longing to become independent and search for identity and self-sufficient part, there was a youtube video analysis about her, Quarry will be one of the his topics next this year. (Also because both of them were helpless and gruesome in their appearance). She gravitates towards security.) Or show her like being a hard, unbreakable, unbendable, and savvy force and a menace, special and superior. That of her appeal and appearance. She is also smart and she has gotten to be informative. Remember when '03 Don said he likes studying when entering the library in the 5th season, to discover more about powers and stuff. Mona did that before them. She has outrun(?) them. To say that in an eggagerated manner, that was savage.

How to Make F*ck You Money Using Your 8th Houseđž
Let's talk about F you money...the kind of money that buys freedom, power, peace, and the ability to say "no" without guilt. The kind of money that screams main character energy. And guess what? Your 8th house holds the key.
The 8H in astrology rules over shared resources, passive income, investments, inheritance, $ex work, shadow work, transformation, power dynamics, and yes...BIG MONEY. Think generational wealth, not just what's in your checking account.

Step 1: What Sign is on Your 8th House Cusp?
This shows the vibe of how you handle money from others, investments, and power. Here's the tea:
Aries -> You get big money by taking bold risks, being first, and having a boss b*tch attitude. Crypto? Only if you're first. Entrepreneurship? Yes ma'am.
Taurus -> You attract wealth through luxury, patience, and beauty. Real estate, slow investments, sugar baby vibes. Rich auntie/uncle energy.
Gemini -> You get paid to talk, think, or write. Digital assets, intellectual property, courses, or content that keeps paying you forever.
Cancer -> Wealth from family, real estate, and emotional labor. Generational wealth, healing work, or investing in homey assets.
Leo -> Fame, visibility, and charisma = money. Your presence alone is profitable. Passive income through fans, royalties, and performance.
Virgo -> You monetize your skills, routines, and healing abilities. Systems, services, editing, health and wellness work, and digital products.
Libra -> You attract wealth through beauty, relationships, and luxury. Partnerships, sugar daddies, aesthetic businesses, or passive fashion income.
Scorpio -> Powerhouse. You were born for F you money. Wealth through mystery, sex work, investments, and deep transformation. You can flip pain into profit.
Sagittarius -> Money through teaching, publishing, and going global. Travel content, spiritual coaching, or international biz? Goldmine.
Capricorn -> You build wealth over time. Passive income from systems, institutions, or your own empire. Think CEO bag.
Aquarius -> You make money through innovation and being ahead of your time. Tech, astrology, community platforms. Viral = income.
Pisces: Dreamy dollars. You remake money in mysterious or spiritual ways. Art, music, dreams, healing, even OnlyFans.
Step 2: What Planets Are in Your 8th House? (Your Superpowers)
Each planet here tells you how you make that boss-level, passive, transformative money.
Sun: Your power and identity are tied to your ability to accumulate and manage wealth. You're meant to live off royalties or investments. Your legacy pays your bills.
Moon: You intuitively attract wealth. Cyclical income. You can profit from nurturing, healing, or female dominated spaces. Wealth may come through family or emotional work.
Mercury: You write, speak, or strategize your way to money. Stock tips, intellectual property, or sharing taboo knowledge. You make $$$ from secrets.
Venus: You're literally made to attract luxury and resources. Sugar baby potential, creative investments, passive income from beauty or love-based businesses.
Mars: You hustle for that money. Sex work, bold business moves, and aggressive investing can be major wins. You thrive in high stakes financial spaces.
Jupiter: F*ck you money is your birthright. You naturally expand and attract wealth often through spiritual wisdom, teaching, or blessings from others.
Saturn: You build wealth slowly, but it's unshakeable. Passive income through discipline, real estate, legacy building, or authority in your field.
Uranus: Sudden windfalls, viral moments, and unconventional income streams. You were born to break the rules and still get paid. Internet wealth = chef's kiss.
Neptune: Spiritual, artistic, or mystery money. Think music royalties, dreams turned into passive profit or even hidden/inherited wealth. Trust your intuition.
Pluto: You're a financial powerhouse. You attract wealth through transformation, shadow work, or high stakes environments. Sex, death, taxes? You run it.
North Node: Your destiny is to become wealthy through other people's money, deep transformation, or taboo topics. Follow the path of power.
South Node: You've already mastered wealth in a past life; now you're learning to share it or evolve past it. Don't cling to scarcity.
Chiron: You've been wounded by money, sex, or power...but healing these wounds makes you RICH. You can guide others through their darkness and get paid for it.
Your 8th house is your wealth witch zone. It's not your salary...it's what keeps the money coming while you sleep. Use your placements to tap into wealth that's bigger than you, tied to transformation, and often a lil taboo.
You don't just make F you money; you embody it.

Nobody ever told you that Japan was so damn hot.Â
Hot was not what came to mind when youâd heard youâd be taking a trip to Tokyo. Temples? Sure. Mt. Fuji? Great. Hot? No fucking way.Â
But, here you were, boiling away under the sun on what youâd thought would be a fun little work trip. Instead, you were just suffering with every step, trying to listen to what Principal Yaga was saying and failing miserably.Â
âThese are the sparring courts. No students right now, but theyâll start training within the hour.âÂ
You rub at the back of your neck, cringing when your palm comes away coated with a thin layer of sweat. Gross.Â
You lift your eyes to the sky, wondering how much longer this was going to take. Your little trip to Japan was to organize an exchange program with Jujutsu Tech. Your students had been begging to take a trip to Tokyo, to where their cursed energy would be closer to the source and, consequently, stronger. You had to admit, it was a good idea. A few months spent training here in Japan would do them good. From the moment youâd set foot on Japanese soil, your power had thrummed faster in your veins than ever before.Â
Principal Yaga was giving you a tour of the grounds and had sealed your horrible fate when heâd decided to start outside. You barely heard a word the man said. New York was never this hotâŠ
âAre you alright?â You blink, fanning your face as best you can. It provides no relief. God, it felt like the heat was penetrating your fucking bonesâŠÂ
When your eyes slide to Principal Yaga, youâre surprised to see that he looks genuinely concerned. âY-yeah.â You blink again, shocked by your own stutter. Maybe you were coming down with something? âIâm fine, just not used to this kind of heat, I guess.â You fan your face again and clench your jaw when it still does nothing.Â
Yagaâs brows furrow and you see him glance around, like heâll find said heat standing next to him. How was he wearing so many layers?Â
âHow about we head inside and take a break, then? We can continue the tour⊠later.â You nearly fall to the ground and kiss his feet. Air conditioning is truly God's gift to manâŠÂ
You smile and itâs all genuine. âThat would be amazing. Thank you.âÂ
Yaga nods, but you think his eyes linger on you for just a beat too long before he turns. He still looks confused⊠or maybe flustered? That only leaves you confused.Â
You follow after him, each step feeling like youâre sinking deep into cement. You tug at the collar of your shirt, trying to get some ventilation. When you finally reach the building you nearly sigh with relief. Air conditioning⊠thatâll be good. Just what you need. A few minutes inside and youâll be good to go. Youâll just have to remember not to wear so many damn layers again when you continue the tour.Â
Youâre smiling as you step inside, so ready for relief that youâre practically shakingâ but relief never comes. Your brows furrow. You brush your arm through the air. It⊠doesnât help. Itâs strangeâ you can feel the coolness of the air conditioning, feel it gliding up and across your skin, but the heat doesnât subside, doesnât so much as lessen.Â
âI trust you know how to find anything you mightââ Yaga clears his throat. âNeed?âÂ
 Your brows furrow. Heâd shown you all the schoolâs resources last night and your room was already stocked with food, toiletries, and every other thing you could possibly need. Of course you knew where everything wasâŠÂ
âYes⊠Thank you.âÂ
Yaga shifts so uncomfortably you think that maybe heâs about to pee his pants. âRight, well, you have my contact information. Let me know if I can be of assistance in connecting you to any⊠resources.â
Youâre more confused now than you were at the start of this conversation. âRightâŠâÂ
âTake care.âÂ
Yaga shoots you one lastâ worried?- glance and stalks down the hall. Youâre left wondering what the hell is happening in his mind and why he seemed so desperate to offer you resources?Â
You blink, clearing your mind as best you can, but some sort of fog seems to be settling over your consciousness. Definitely coming down with something, you think.Â
You make your way through the halls, steps still feeling suspiciously heavy and heat still radiating off your body. A cold shower. Thatâll help. Or so you thought. The further you walk, the more each hallway starts to look like the next. Was it left or right next? Was this hallway always a dead end? Since when was there a bathroom there?
Youâre leaning against the wall now, panting. Something is pooling in your gut, something warm and far too intense. Your inner thighs are wet, too. You want to convince yourself itâs sweat, but⊠youâre horny. More horny than youâve ever been in your whole damn life. You think you might die if you donât get some dick in the next ten minutes. What the fuck?
You slide yourself into the next room you see: an empty classroom. Thank fucking god. You grab the back of a chair, hands shaking with how hard youâre gripping the wood. You take a deep breath. You need to get a hold of yourself, need to figure out what the fuck is happening to you. Â
You swallow and try your best to think. Itâs not without difficulty. Your head feels like somebodyâs filled it with glue. It takes a minute for a coherent thought to come through, but when it does, you think itâs a good one. Doctor.Â
Yesâ you donât feel well, so obviously a doctor is the correct choice, right? You scramble for your phone in your back pocket but freeze when the brush of your own hand against your ass sends a jolt up your spine. What the fuck is wrong with you?Â
Carefully, you extract your phone from your pocket, but itâs too difficult to even remember your fucking passcode. You press your thighs together, trying to relieve some of the overwhelming ache thatâs forming between your legs. Something is definitely wrong.
You fumble with your phone, but your hands are shaking so hard it just tumbles to the floor.Â
âFuck,â you breathe. âFuck, fuck, fuck?âÂ
âYo, whoâs baking cookies in here without me?âÂ
Your head snaps up and, with some difficulty, your eyes settle on a⊠man. You suck in a breath. Heâs⊠dazzling. Heâs wearing all black, but itâs not a student uniform. One of the teachers that youâve yet to meet, then. White hair and pale skin contrasts against his clothes, but his eyes are covered by a pair of sunglasses set low on his nose. Even in your delirious state you still have the wherewithal to wonder who the fuck wears sunglasses inside.Â
You get a quick look at him before a wave of intense- fuck, desire?- washes over you. You tremble again and shock yourself when a whimper tumbles from your lips.Â
âOh, shit,â you hear him say. You glance at him from the corner of your eye and watch him inhale againâ deeply. His lips part. âOh, shit.â
You clench your jaw and tighten your grip on your chair. Your legs are shaking nowâ you can barely stand. You squeak pitifully.Â
The second the sound leaves your throat you hear footstepsâ rapid, hurried, concerned, ones. Warm hands clasp your waist and you cry out at the touch, electricity sparking on your skin.Â
âShhh, itâs okay.â He turns you gently to face him, hands steadying your swaying body. âWho the fuck left you alone in here?â His hand is rubbing soothing circles on your lower back now and you think youâve never felt something so good in your life. Itâs so good that you almost miss what he said. Almost.Â
âW-What?â You see his brows furrow as you peek up at him. At this angle you can see under his sunglasses. His eyes are blue. Really fucking blue. You think he might be the most attractive man youâve ever seen, even with the expression of⊠anger?- that heâs currently wearing.Â
âWhoever he is, I'll kill him.âÂ
That makes you blink. An extra sliver of clarity opens in your brain. âWhat are you talking about?â
He tugs you a little closer, wrapping an arm fully around your waist and pressing you up against him. You try to ignore the fact that you love it, that you want nothing more than to wrap yourself around him and climb him like a fucking tree.Â
âWhat idiot leaves an omega going into heat?â Heâs glaring at the doorway like heâs torn between staying here with you and running after said idiot to pommel him into the ground.Â
ââM not an omega.â The words are out before youâve even stopped to consider them. Itâs true. Youâre not an omega. Youâre a beta. Youâve always been a beta. Youâve got the little âBâ on your ID card to prove it. You were tested at birth, just like everyone else, and even if you really were an omega you would have presented years ago.
He only glances down at you and snorts. âFunny, sweetheart.â His hand is still rubbing those little circles into your back and itâs enough to make that fogginess in your mind grow a little thicker.Â
But your fear, your uncertainty outways your instinct. You pound a weak fist against his chest, not to push him away, but to get his attention. Heâs still glaring at the doorway like he wants to murder it.Â
ââM serious,â you gasp. âIâm a beta⊠I donâ... know whasâ happeninâ⊠to me.â Each word is a tremendous effort to form. Your tongue seems to have lost its ability to do anything but hang limply.Â
That gets his attention. He lifts a hand, gently brushing your hair back from your eyes and then cupping your jaw. âIs this your first heat?âÂ
You find yourself leaning into his touch despite the fact that youâve only known him for thirty seconds. Your eyelids flutter. âN-Not a heat⊠jusâ feel⊠sick.â
His brows furrow again, deeper this time, and he shakes his head. âHow old are you?â
You know why he asks. Most omegas present around eighteen or nineteen. âOlder than⊠nineteenâŠâ You try to laugh, but it only comes out as a whimper.
That answer only serves to make him push closer. You feel his hand trailing down your neck, skimming gently over the skin until he reaches a spot you hadn't even realized was so⊠sore. You keen at the touch. Fuck, no. There was no way. You had swollen fucking scent glands.Â
You try to push away, but he pulls you in, burying his face in your neck. You shudder when he groans. âYou smell like a damn bakery exploded,â he chuckles, and the sound is muffled by your skin. When he pulls away he makes it look like the action is physically painful. He cups your face again. âHate to break it to you, sweetheart, but youâre an omega. If this is your first heat thenâŠâ he swallows and your eyes track the bob of his throat. âYouâre just a late bloomer, baby.â
You shake your head desperately. Itâs just the stupid heatwave. Itâs just⊠hot outside⊠right?Â
You try to think about how this could be possible. It could be that the test you took as a baby was wrong⊠it happened sometimes. It was rare, but it happened. But if you were an omega, what would have triggered your presentation now? What had changed?Â
Your eyes widen. Japan. Youâd set foot in fucking Japan. Ever since youâd gotten here, youâd felt power pulsing in your veins. Maybe it hadnât been just powerâŠÂ
âN-noââÂ
A gentle thumb smooths over your cheek and you meet his eyes again. You shiver when you see a whole lot more black than blue. âYou have no alpha?âÂ
You whimper, leaning into him. Touch me, touch me, touch me, a part of you begs. You shake your head again and a tear slides down your cheek. âNo,â you whisper.Â
Strong arms slide beneath your knees and you squeak when youâre suddenly suspended in the air. When you glance up heâs grinning triumphantly. âYou have one now,â is all he says before heâs carrying you out of the classroom and twisting through the halls.Â
Warmth rushes over you at the sensation of being held, and something begs you to give into it, to give into the heat still washing over you, to the throbbing between your legs. You fight it and fight it hard.Â
âWhereâre we going?â you ask, but your voice is sounding more and more like a whisper.Â
His eyes stay focused ahead, even as he presses a comforting kiss to the crown of your head. âYour room, sweetheart.âÂ
Your brows scrunch. âHow dâ you know whereââÂ
ââM following your scent, baby.âÂ
He can do that? You bury your face in his neck, embarrassed, only to be hit by a different scent so delicious your mouth starts watering. You groan. Loudly. Thereâs a scent pouring from his neck thatâs filling your head with memories of spices you canât name, but suddenly know you love.Â
You think you hear him chuckle and then feel a gentle hand on the back of your neck, encouraging you. You snuggle deeper into him, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and burying your fingers in his hair. Taste him, taste him, taste him your mind chants. Itâs too good an offer to deny. You lick a stripe across his skin.Â
Your groans are instant. Heâs squeezing you closer, leaning into your touch, and youâre pulling him closer. Your fingers curl into his jacket, tugging and tugging. You lick again and now heâs the one groaning.Â
âDamn, that feels good,â He sounds as surprised by that fact as you feel. The swaying of his steps comes to a sudden halt. You whine, missing the rocking of his body. âThink weâre here, princess. This it?â His hand is smoothing over your hair, slowly coaxing you away from the curve of his neck. You blink, not wanting to leave the paradise of his scent, but also feeling some overwhelming urge to please him.
Your eyes settle on a door and you recognize a little chip in the wood. You nod. âMhm.âÂ
You gasp when his hand grips your hip, wriggling through your pocket until he pulls out a little brass key.Â
âPerfect,â he says, and his voice sounds like heâs all too pleased with himself. He shimmies your key in the knob until the lock clicks and then youâre inside. The door slams shut loud enough to make you jump and squeak.Â
âOops, sorry, baby. Guess Iâm a little excited, heh.â His hand squeezes your hip soothingly and you mewl at the wave of heat that pulses through you. Your clit throbs almost painfully and you feel something gush onto your thighs. You whimper.Â
He inhales. âOh, shit,â he breathes, and then youâre moving again. He navigates your room like he knows it. He probably does. From what you can tell, most of the rooms at Jujutsu Tech follow a standard layout. He weaves down a hall to the left and then into your bedroom on the right.Â
He lays you on the bed gently, tenderly, like heâs afraid you might break if he drops you so much as an inch. âThere we go,â he breathes. You canât deny that it feels good, that it feels right, to be lying on the softness of your mattress, but itâs not enough.Â
You claw at him, wrapping your arms tightly around his neck and pulling him close. You want something from him, need something, but you canât name what. You just know that the heat boiling beneath your skin can only be sated by him, that the throbbing between your legs can only be calmed by him. âP-Please,â you whimper. Tears well in your eyes. You need him so bad it physically hurts.Â
The smile he gives you is soft and genuine and it takes your breath away. He dips his head and you think you see him slide those sunglasses down his nose and toss them to the side. You donât pay too close attention, though, because heâs kissing your neck again and your body is screaming with sensation.Â
âAw, I know, baby. Donâ worry. âM gonna take care of you now. Jusâ relax.âÂ
His words spark something in youâ your last bit of consciousness. A brief moment of clarity shines through the fog of your mind and you remember what the hell is happening, what the hell youâre doing. You squeeze your eyes shut and shake your head desperately. No, no, no, this is not happening to you. Thereâs no way.
âHey, now. None aâ that.â Fingers clasp your chin, holding you still. When you peek your eyes open, you see that he has in fact removed his sunglasses and that his eyes are more black pupil than dazzling blue. His jaw is clenched and his breathing is heavy. âDonât try tâ fight it. Jusâ try to enjoy itâŠâ His head dips and suddenly heâs nipping at your scent gland again.Â
You thrash and scream, but not in fear or pain. Youâve never felt something so good in your life. Every graze of his teeth feels like heaven. Your skin zings with electricity, sending pulses of pure need straight between your thighs.Â
You grab at him, tangling your fingers in his hair and tugging him closer. Your chest is heaving when you speak. âPlease, p-please-âÂ
âShhhâŠâ You think you hear your shirt tearing, but youâre too focused on pulling him closer to care. His tongue licks a stripe up your throat and your eyes roll back.Â
Youâre sure your shirt is off now. You can feel the cool air, but it does nothing to ease the heat raging inside you, pulsing and pumping through your veins.You feel him tugging at your pants, too, and you try to raise your hips. He only shushes you again. âJusâ relax. Let me do the work, baby.âÂ
Your pants are gone in seconds, even without your assistance. So is your bra and then your panties. He tries pulling away to undress himself, but you mewl and his eyes blow even blacker before heâs back over you again. He settles for popping the buttons straight off his shirt and shimmying out of his pants.Â
The sight of his bare skin makes you whimper and then youâre clawing at him again, dragging your fingers across his shoulders, over his chest, down his abs. Itâs a greedy touch and one that he returns. His palms move along your body, kneading and squeezing at any flesh he can grab. It feels so good that you think you might pass outâ but itâs still not enough. Something is still missing. You feel⊠empty.Â
His fingers trace across your stomach and itâs too late to realize whatâs happening before heâs circling your clit. You jerk and jolt at the touch, but he presses his chest to yours, pinning you. The throbbing only worsens when his fingers settle into a rhythm.Â
Tears leak down your cheeks. Itâs too overwhelming. Youâre burningâ burning from the inside out. The pulsing between your thighs is all-consuming with its intensity, with its-
âNeed! N-Needââ youâre crying out, but you donât even know what to ask forâ donât even know what you need.Â
âGod, Fuck, I know, princess,â he groans. He licks a long stripe up your neck. âBut âs your first heat. Gottaââ he has to pause to swallow. Heâs panting, now, just as lost as you are, and you get the sense that heâs restraining himself. âGotta get you ready⊠go slow.âÂ
You shake your head. Now, now, now is all you can think. You need him now. âNo⊠pleaseâŠâ You bury your head in his neck and find that spot thatâs pouring his spicy scent into the air. Your mouth waters and you lick him, letting your teeth graze his skin.
âFuck!â He shivers atop you and you feel the pure strength restrained within his muscles. âFuck- okay. Okay. Relax fâ me, princess.âÂ
You try, you really do, but your body refuses to do anything but try to pull him closer. You feel his fingers digging into the flesh of your thighs, pressing them up, up, up until theyâre pressed tightly to your chest and your feet are dangling on his shoulders. The position makes you whine, feeling more exposed than you ever have before.Â
âYou on birth control, baby?âÂ
Your brows furrow. Itâs becoming harder and harder to focus on what heâs saying rather than simply the sound of his voice. Were you? You try to think, try to remember through the pit of glue that is your brain. NoâŠ
You shake your head. âN-NoâŠâÂ
Thereâs a slight pause, a beat of contemplation, and then heâs laughing. âGuess Iâm bouta be a daddy then, heh.â He chuckles again and the sound rings through you with a wave of pure bliss. His lips brush your neck again, settling on your pulse and making you whine. âDonât really mind as long as I get you.â Your head rolls back submissively, exposing your throat. Yes, yes, yes, your mind screams. Thereâs nothing you want more than that, you think.âOkay, here we go, baby.âÂ
Thereâs hardly any more warning. One second you feel him shifting between your thighs and the next heâs pressing inside of you, feeding his cock in inch by inch. The stretch is⊠delicious. It burns, fuels that fire inside you, but it makes the heat feel more⊠pleasurable. Your back arches and your head rolls back submissively.Â
âOh, fuck, princess.â His voice has gotten higher, more like a whine than anything else. When you gaze up at him you can see the flush in his cheeks, even through the fog in your mind. More, more, more your mind screams. Or maybe you say it aloud, because more is exactly what he gives you. The second you feel him tucked up against your cervix the second he begins to take you. He sets a pace that is somehow both brutal and gentle, with strokes that rattle your skull and also give you exactly what you need. His hands grip your hips, holding you still to take exactly what he wants to give. His head dips until he has his lips wrapped around your nipple, and his tongue is swirling so deliciously that you canât help but drag your nails down his back.Â
Your body rocks with every thrust, teeth rattling and eyes rolling. The heat inside you grows⊠tighter, like itâs all pooling to your core, waiting for something you still canât quite name.Â
âN-needâŠâ You donât know what you need, still. Only that you want to beg for it so badly it hurts.Â
His tongue slides away from your nipple, tracing a line up between the valley of your breasts, over your collarbone, before he finally settles on your pulse once again. The nick of his teeth makes something click in your mind. This is what you need. Bite me, bite me, bite. Claim me, claim me, claim me.Â
âYes,â you breathe. Your fingers dig into his scalp, pulling him closer, coaxing his teeth to sink in, to stake their claim. âOh God, yes. Please.â You sound delirious, you think, but then so does he when he answers.Â
âNot yet, princess. Not yet.â His tongue darts out to lick across your neck again and you can only sob. Why not yet? Now, now, nowâŠÂ
Tightness coils in your muscles, the throb at your core reaching a breaking point. You feel something coming, something like an orgasm but yet also not. You know that when whatever is pooling inside you releases, you will shatter, and youâre not sure youâll ever be put back together.Â
Your nails claw across his back hard enough to draw blood and the action forces out some sort of low grumble from his chest that makes you whimper and melt into the mattress. The tip of his nose draws a line up your throat. âKeep doinâ that, baby. Mark me up.âÂ
You donât dare deny him. You scratch at his skin, desperately trying to pull him closer. His thrusts grow faster and your thighs begin to tremble and shake on his shoulders, overwhelmed with the intensity of all youâre feeling. You pull at him, grab at him, thread your fingers through his hair.Â
Your body jolts with each thrust and youâre sure youâre going to burst any moment. But you canât. Not yet. You still need something, something he hasnât given you yet. He groans and the sound is so delicious that you feel it sliding over your skin and settling in your bones.Â
âMâ gonna knot you now, princess,â he breathes. âGonna make you feel so good. Gonna take care âve you.â
You whimper at his words. You hope theyâre true. You donât think you can take much more of the incessant gnawing of need in your gut.Â
âPleaseâŠâ your voice is hardly more than a whisper. His breath is hot as it shakes against your neck. Heâs licking and nipping at you ravenously, like he needs you just as badly, like he wants to claim you as badly as you want to be claimed.Â
His thrusts quicken even further and your jaw falls open, neck arching. You donât think you can hold on much longer. Apparently, neither can he.Â
You feel it the moment he starts to swell inside you. Itâs perfect, you think. It canât get better than thisâ but then it does.Â
His teeth graze your throat again, this time a little harsher and with a little more intent. âMine,â he whispers. The second he bites you everything goes blurry.Â
Youâre experiencing⊠heaven. There is a rush of that electricity that buzzes under your skin. It bursts forth and you feel it reaching out, forming a link between the two of you that you know is now impenetrable. It pulses and burns and you can feel him, feel his pleasure, his desire, his need for you and only youâ his need to make you his. You think your souls must be blending, merging, with how deep the connection runs. You think you know him, know everything you could possibly ever need to. You know heâs the one. You know heâs yours.
Itâs perfect, the way it fulfills every desire youâve ever had, the way he notches inside your cunt like thatâs where he was made to be, the way his teeth clamp around your throat and bond you together forever.
You scream for him, you think, but you canât tell through the complete and total haze of pleasure. Your walls spasm around him, milking him for every last drop, and you feel the heat of his cum coating your cervix. The heat at your center finally releases, bursting and flooding through you in a way that feels like pure bliss has been injected into your veins. Your thighs quake and tremble with the pure intensity of it all and white spots dot your vision.Â
His body is tense above you, shivering with the magnitude of whatâs just happened. Heâs groaning into your neck, your flesh still clamped between his teeth like he never wants to let go. Youâre not sure you ever want him to.Â
Your breaths shake in and out, lungs heaving as you finally come down. His knot is still settled deep inside you and with the few strings of consciousness that slowly filter back into your mind you know that heâll remain there for a while.
His teeth release from your neck with a squelch that you think you would be sickening in any other context, but only makes you whimper at the loss of contact. He only hums and finds your hand, twining your fingers together as he laps at the fresh bite on your throat. It feels⊠amazing. Not in the way it felt before, like he was licking pure lust straight onto your skin, but more like heâs giving you a comfort you have never known in your life. You feel safe in his arms, like nothing could ever hurt you here.Â
His lips press a final kiss to your throat before you feel him shifting. He gently rolls you both onto your sides, getting comfortable and pulling you to his chest while you both wait for the next wave of lust to hit you. It will, you know. Sooner rather than later, too. Your mind has cleared enough to realize whatâs happening, whatâs to come. You wonât be leaving this room, this bed, for quite some time.Â
A gentle hand brushes a sweaty lock of hair from your eyes before it settles on the nape of your neck, massaging the sore muscles there. You sigh and raise your gaze to find him already looking at you, an easy smile on his lips. He has dimples, you realize, and heâs⊠breathtaking. And now⊠heâs all yours.
Thereâs a beat of silence between you, a moment of reconciliation with whatâs just happened between you, of what it means. You blink up at him, your lips parting to say something, anything, but instead your brows furrow in thought.
His smile drops instantly. He leans into you, thumb caressing your cheek. âWhat is it, sweetheart?âÂ
Your mouth runs dry. You peek up at him from beneath your lashes. âWhatâs your name?â

she's my collar



ă pairing: assistant! k.ys x CEO! fem reader
ă wc: 5.3k
ă plot: For three years, Kang Yeosang was the quiet, obedient assistant to one of the most powerful women in techâuntil she fired him with a cold, impersonal email. Drunk and furious, he confronts her at a bar, expecting to see the same ruthless CEO he once feared. Instead, he finds a woman exhausted by control, desperate to let someone else take over. Now, sheâs offering him that power. Yeosang has spent years following ordersâbut can he step up and be the one giving them? And what happens when surrendering control turns into something neither of them can resist?
ă content: babygirl (2024) inspired, office sex, power dynamics, pet names (puppy), humiliation kink, submissive reader, face-fucking, shoe-grinding, cumplay, smut, comedy, this was written around Christmas time so itâs set around that time as well, also set in NYC
ă playlist: she's my collar- gorrilaz and kali uchis, leash- sky ferreira, crack baby- mitski, the perfect girl- mareux, closer- nine inch nails
Yeosang stared at his laptop screen, the faint glow of the monitor illuminating his face while all the color drained from it. His hands trembled slightly on the keyboard, his breathing growing shallow and uneven. Each word on the screen struck him like a dagger. He reread the message as if repetition might change its meaning.
Subject: Employment Termination
Dear Mr. Kang,
We regret to inform you that, due to recent budget cuts and ongoing concerns about your performance, we have made the difficult decision to terminate your employment with ChromaTech.
Please arrange to return all company property, including devices and ID badges, to our office as soon as possible. Alternatively, we can schedule a FedEx pickup from your home.
Your final paycheck will be processed and deposited later this week.
We appreciate your contributions to ChromaTech and wish you the best in your future endeavors.
Regards, HR
The words blurred together as Yeosang's vision clouded, his mind racing to make sense of it all. Performance concerns? He clenched his fists, trying to suppress the surge of humiliation and anger that coursed through him.
This wasnât just a job to himâit was stability, routine, a cornerstone of the life heâd painstakingly built through hard work and commitment. Now it was gone, reduced to a cold, impersonal email that left no room for explanation, no chance to plead his case.
Yeosang let his head fall into his hands, the faint whir of the laptop's fan echoing in the room. It all felt surreal to him like he woke up to find the ground had shifted beneath his feet, leaving him dangling over a dark abyss.
He looked over at his digital calendar, every hour clogged up with reminders, appointments, and deadlines for the next month and a half, all completely useless now. For the first time in years, he had no idea what he was supposed to do next.
The rest of the day passed in a hazy blur. Yeosang drifted from room to room in his cramped East Village apartment, his gaze occasionally landing on the precarious stacks of Amazon boxes littering the floor. A pang of regret twisted in his chest. Heâd splurged on gifts for his friends, family, andâmost indulgentlyâhimself during the holidays, telling himself it was fine to celebrate, that he deserved all the latest new tech and shiny sneakers. Now, staring at his dwindling savings, the extravagance felt like a slap in the face. Great timing.
After scheduling the FedEx pickup and stuffing his work belongings into a battered cardboard box, he tossed it into the corner, out of sight but never out of mind. Every motion felt mechanical, his thoughts distant and dulled. He couldnât sit in this suffocating silence anymore, couldnât let the reality of his situation consume him.
Tomorrow was Thursday. No work, no obligations. Now he had all the time in the world and no idea what to do with it.
Fuck it, he thought. If life wanted to kick him while he was down, then heâd kick back, even if it meant getting obliterated in the process. Grabbing his coat, he made a decision. Tonight, he wasnât going to sit in his misery. He was going to hit the fanciest bar he could find and drink himself into oblivion, maybe even pick up a cute girl to take home. Consequences could wait until tomorrow.
âž»
Yeosang slouched over the bar counter, his cheek nearly pressed against the cool wood, looking more like he was napping than nursing a drink. The Manhattan in his hand felt cold, its amber glow reflecting faintly in his tired eyes. He swirled the liquid absently, his thoughts as muddled as the cocktail before him.
He regretted coming here. Liquor wasnât his thingâheâd always avoided it, telling himself he needed to stay sharp for work. But the truth was simpler: alcohol made him sleepy. One drink, and heâd be nodding off like some human embodiment of the Sleepytime Bear. Thereâs no way any girl would want to go home with him like this.Â
And yet, here he was, sipping on a cocktail heâd never had before tonight, all in the name of free will. Heâd picked it for no other reason than its price tagâit was one of the most expensive options on the menu. If he was going to spiral, why not spiral in style? The bitterness of the drink soured his tongue, but he kept sipping, his mind already drifting into that hazy, detached state where everything felt just a little less sharp, a little more bearable. It wasnât the escape he thought it would be, but for now, it was enough.
Yeosang had served you diligently for almost three years, though to him, it felt more like a decade. When he first got the position as Executive Assistant, heâd been thrilledânot for the prestige or the title, but for the hefty paycheck that came with it. A corporate job was soul-crushing, sure, but at least it paid handsomely for the privilege of grinding you into dust.
For three years, heâd been your shadow. He made your coffee just the way you liked it, meticulously scheduled and rescheduled your endless meetings, and trailed after you as you tore through Midtown in your impossibly dainty heels. Somehow, your So Kate pumps made you walk faster than him, even in his worn-out tennis shoes.Â
He picked up your dry cleaning, planned your trips down to the minute, and waited bleary-eyed at baggage claim after grueling international flights to haul your overweight suitcases to your hotel room. He booked your dinner reservations at trendy restaurants, juggling waitlists and cancellations like a magician. He prepared your reports and presentation notes, answered your emails, your calls, your textsâevery last trivial thingâso the only task left for you was to look polished in your Banana Republic pencil skirt and flash a pretty smile at investors.
To everyone else, you were the epitome of successâthe poster child for Women in Tech. An Ivy League graduate at the helm of one of the countryâs biggest tech companies, you embodied the impossible standard, all while maintaining a buzzing social life, and an aura of poise that never cracked, no matter how demanding the circumstances. While others juggled, you danced, balancing it all with a grace that seemed almost superhuman. To the outside world, you werenât just successfulâyou were aspirational, the kind of woman others admired, envied, and tried to emulate. But to Yeosang, you were a full-time job, a 24/7 whirlwind that consumed everything in its path, leaving him wiped out and drained.
Performance concerns. He knew exactly what that meant.
It had been a few weeks ago, late at night. You were stressed, working overtime in your office, which, of course, meant he had to stay late too. The request wasnât anything unusualâjust your evening coffee: Colombian roast, vanilla creamer, a delicate dusting of cinnamon powder on top. Simple enough.
Heâd handed the mug to you with both hands, careful not to spill a drop. Then he lingered, waiting for you to assign something else. But you barely looked up, waving him off with a flick of your fingers. As he turned to leave, his eyes caught your reflection in the glass doors.
Thatâs when he saw it.
A look of disgust twisted your features as you took a sip, your lips curling ever so slightly in disapproval.
The memory of it hit him like a slap. At first, he hadnât understood. But back at his desk, it came rushing back, sharp as a pin in his chest. Peppermint mocha.
Heâd grabbed the festive creamer that someone had left on the kitchen counter instead of the usual vanilla you liked. It wasnât intentionalâjust an absent-minded mistake made after hours of exhaustion. But in your world, there were no small mistakes.
And now, sitting alone at the bar with his life upended, that one moment felt emblematic of everything.
Okay, maybe it wasnât just the peppermint mocha creamer.
His nerves had always been his downfall, often betraying him in the form of small but noticeable mistakes. A double-booked meeting here, a forgotten reservation thereâusually because he was too busy helping you pick out a new pair of Christian Louboutins for your Paris trip, or researching market pricing for an upcoming presentation. There was also that time he missed a few typos in a report you handed to the company heads, which earned him a withering glare in front of the whole boardroom.
But could you really blame him? You treated him like he had six arms, and the ability to teleport with the speed of light when in reality, he was just one man. No matter how hard he worked, it was never enough. If he meticulously completed every task you gave him, youâd point out the smallest flaw. If he preempted your needs, youâd call him presumptuous. Every win felt hollow because youâd always point out what could have been done better. Pleasing you was like chasing a mirageâno matter how close he got, the finish line kept moving farther away.
Still, one thing was certain: the peppermint mocha creamer had been the final straw. A small, almost insignificant mistake in the grand scheme of things, but for you, it had been enough to seal his fate.
Yeosang's ears perked up, his sluggish thoughts snapping into focus at the sound of a familiar voice. He froze, the glass of Manhattan halfway to his lips, as he scanned the dimly lit bar. And then he saw you.
You were tucked into the corner booth, surrounded by a few friends, with a pink cocktail in your hand. The faint hum of laughter carried over the low jazz music, and you looked so relaxed, so carefree. It was as if nothing had happenedâas if his world hadnât just imploded because of you.
A spark of anger flared in his chest, simmering, then growing hotter with each passing second. How could you? How could you throw him away so carelessly and then go out for drinks, laughing and clinking glasses like it was any other night?
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Heâd done everything for you. Everything. Heâd missed his nieceâs first recital because you needed him to oversee a last-minute report. Heâd skipped Thanksgiving with his family because you insisted on an "urgent" trip to Japan that turned out to be nothing more than a glorified shopping spree. His love life? Nonexistent. How could he have one when you were the only woman in his life, demanding every ounce of his time, energy, and attention?
And now, here you were, sipping cocktails without a care in the world. You didnât even have the decency to tell him to his face why you let him go. The least you couldâve done was look him in the eye and explain yourself, to acknowledge the years he gave you, the sacrifices he made.
Yeosang clenched his jaw, his grip tightening around the glass in his hand. He felt the weight of all those buried resentments rising to the surface, demanding release. For the first time in three years, he wasnât going to stay silent.
Yeosang drained the last of his Manhattan, the liquid fire burning its way down his throat as if fueling his decision. The warmth spread through his chest, blurring the sharp edges of his hesitation. When he saw your friends stand to leave, laughing as they hugged you goodbye, he seized the moment. The alcohol coursing through his veins muffled his nerves, and the simmering anger propelled him off the barstool.
He approached you with purpose, his heart pounding harder with each step. Heâd imagined this confrontation in his head for hours, maybe even years. But when you looked up, your eyes narrowing in confusion, it all dissolved.
âYeosang?â you said, your tone laced with surprise as you squinted at him. âWhat are you doing here?â
For a moment, he froze, caught in the trap of your gaze. Then, the words tumbled out before he could stop them, anger surging past his control.Â
âAn email? Really?â Yeosang spat, his voice cutting through the low hum of the bar. His eyes were dark with anger, his jaw clenched so tightly it looked like it might snap. âYou couldnât evenâ didnât even have the decency to say it to my face? Are you that much of a coward?â
You stiffened, the weight of the bar patronsâ stares pressing down on you. You reached out toward him, your voice was soft but firm. âHey, letâs calm downââ
âDonât tell me to calm down!â he roared, his words slurring slightly, his stance wobbly from the alcohol. âThree years! I gave you three years of nonstop devotion, and I donât even get a proper goodbye? No thank you, no explanation? Do you know how much shit I had to sacrifice for you?â
His voice cracked, his frustration spilling out with every word. âYou love parading around with this âgirlboss,â fearless woman-in-tech image, but youâre just a scared little girl. Too scared to even look me in the eye and tell me what I did so wrong that you had to hide behind HR to fire me!â
Your cheeks burned with embarrassment as you caught the awkward glances of nearby patrons, their murmured conversations stopping as they pretended not to eavesdrop. You pursed your lips, your patience snapping like a brittle thread. Grabbing his arm roughly, you dragged him out of the bar, ignoring his protests as the cold, snowy air hit both of you like a slap.
âYou really wanna do this here?â you hissed, your voice low but sharp, cutting through the quiet of the empty street. âFine. Letâs do this.â
Yeosang blinked at you, his anger simmering as he swayed on unsteady legs.
âYou want to know why you were fired?â You stepped closer, staring him dead in the eye. âYouâre a terrible listener. You fuck up my coffee order. You double-book meetings, forgot to confirm reservations, and just last month, you botched the presentation I needed for the board by misspelling half the client names. Do you know how humiliating that was for me?â
Your words hit him like gunshots, but you didnât stop. âYou donât listen, Yeosang. You never pay attention to detail. I needed someone I could count on, someone who could make my life easier. Iâm not asking for much. Instead, I got someone who left me to fix their mistakes half the time!â
Yeosang flinched at your words. But even as they sunk in, indignation burned in his chest. He didnât believe he deserved thisânot for the mistakes you listed, not for everything he had done for you.
He stepped closer, his dark eyes locking onto yours with a mixture of defiance and pain. The cold outside nipped at your skin, but the heat of his breath against your face made you hyperaware of the tension between you.
âI listen,â he said, his voice low but firm. âYouâre just impossible to please.â
You opened your mouth to retort, but he didnât let you.
âI double-booked your meeting one time because you refused to confirm your schedule with the finance group until the last minute. I misspelled the names on that report because the stupid internâyour internâgave me an Excel sheet with half the names wrong. And reservations? You spring that shit on me while Iâm busy walking your dog or picking up your overpriced $20 salad. And the coffee? The fucking coffee? Give me a break!â
His voice cracked with frustration, his breath coming faster now. âYou act like Iâm some incompetent idiot when all I ever did was clean up after your chaos. Do you know what itâs like working for someone who changes their mind every ten minutes, who expects you to read their mind and be three steps ahead all the time? No matter how much I did, no matter how fast or how perfectly, it was never enough for you! You are a soulless, narcissistic, she-devil, and you love making everyone around you miserable because nothing makes you happy!â
You were nose to nose with him now, the closeness electric and unnerving. Yeosang didnât realize how close he had gotten until he could see every delicate detail of your face. But he didnât back away. He didnât want to.
For the first time, he felt taller, stronger, more in control. He wasnât just the assistant trailing behind you, fetching your coffee and carrying your bags. Right now, you were the one looking up at him, your confidence faltering under the weight of his hard gaze.
Then, something shifted. His anger, which had been a roaring fire just moments ago, flickered and dimmed. His eyes dropped to your lips, noticing how you worried them slightly between your teeth. The cold had turned them soft, flushed red, quivering as though they couldnât decide what to say next. He felt the heat in his chest start to dissipate.
âAll I ever wanted was to please you, but you never gave me a chanceâ he murmured, his voice quieter now, almost soft. His words hung between you like a fragile thread, and he didnât know whether to pull it tighter or let it snap.
His gaze met yours again, and for a brief moment, the tension shifted into something vulnerable. He remained where he stood, towering over you, suddenly feeling exposed, but the weight of his words lingered, heavy and unanswerable in the snowy silence.
You couldnât explain it, but you liked this side of him. It was the first time youâd seen raw emotion in his faceâanger, frustration, passionâit was fascinating. For as long as youâd known Yeosang, he had been quiet as a mouse, his replies clipped and deferential: Yes, maâam. Right away, maâam. Always composed, always distant, like a shadow that existed only to serve.
But now? Now he looked alive. His dark eyes burned with intensity, his lips still slightly parted from his impassioned outburst. You hated to admit it, but he looked almostâŠsexy? The sharp line of his jaw, the way his breath puffed in short bursts against the cold, the heat radiating off him even in the freezing air. And his voiceâyou liked how deep it gets when heâs mad. You liked it enough to disregard the she-devil comment. It almost delighted you. You liked being talked down to. Not enough people had the balls to do so.
âI can give you another chanceâŠâ The words slipped from your lips before you even realized you were speaking. Your tone was quieter, almost sultry, betraying the tug of something entirely outside good judgment. You had nothing but the liquor to blame. You tilted your head slightly, holding his gaze, the weight of your offer hanging heavy in the cold air.
âTo please me, that is.â
His breath hitched, his eyes widening slightly before narrowing in confusion. The air between you crackled with tension, unspoken implications simmering beneath the surface. For a moment, you both just stood there, the snow falling softly around you, caught in an electric silence neither of you knew how to break.Â
After a moment of hesitation, Yeosang broke the silence. âOkay.âÂ
âž»
"I'm not sure if I understand," Yeosang said slowly, blinking up at you. "Maâam." The word left his lips instinctively, like muscle memory, but his voice was hesitant.
You sighed, shifting your weight against the desk, arms crossed. The two of you were alone in your office, the usual hum of the busy workday long gone. The only sound was the soft ticking of the wall clock and the faint buzz of the city outside.
He sat stiffly in your chair, the black leather cool against his back, making him even more uncomfortable. He didn't belong thereâyou both knew it. But this was an experiment, after all.
You tilted your head, your patience wearing thin. "Itâs simple. Iâm letting you be the boss today. You just have to tell me what to do, and Iâll do it." Your lips curled slightly. "And donât call me Maâam."
Yeosang swallowed, his getting throat dry. Power had never been something he craved. He had spent his life taking orders, following directions, and anticipating needs before they were spoken. Most people in tech burned out quickly, leaving to chase the dream of being in control, of being the one to give orders. That drive had never come to him. It wasnât in his nature.
And yet, here you were, handing it to him.
His fingers curled against the leather armrests as he searched for somethingâanythingâto say, his mind wading through unfamiliar territory.
"Then what do I call you?" he asked finally, his voice quieter now.
You held his gaze, a small smirk playing at the corner of your lips.
"Anything you want."
Yeosang mulled over your words, his mind scrambling to process what was happening. Call you anything he wanted? Tell you to do whatever he wanted? It was the kind of fantasy teenage boys dreamed about, yet his mind was a complete blank.
You sighed, exasperated by his hesitation. "Can I give you a suggestion?" You asked, stepping closer.
He nodded, swallowing hard, the words still stuck in his throat.
You leaned in slightly, your voice dipping just enough to make the hairs on the back of his neck stand. "Ask me to get on my knees."
Yeosang's breath hitched. His mind latched onto the words, turning them over, considering. Then, slowly, he nodded in agreement.
You chuckled. "You have to say the words, Mr. Kang."
His ears burned. "Oh, right," he said quickly, his voice a little too high, a little too quick. He cleared his throat. "Get on your knees."
The words felt foreign and awkward, but the way you looked at him made something tighten in his chest.
Mr. Kang.
No one had ever called him that before. It was always Yeo, Yeosang, or, on occasion, the internâhis young face fooling half the office into thinking he was some college kid on summer break. But Mr. KangâŠHe liked the way it sounded coming from your lips.
He sat frozen, watching as you slowly sank to your knees in front of him, settling neatly between his legs. His breath hitched, his pulse hammering against his skin.
You looked up at him, eyes glinting with somethingâDesire? Amusement? He couldnât tell, but whatever it was, it left him breathless.
You waited, patiently, expectantly, your lips slightly parted as if anticipating his next command. You almost looked like an obedient little puppy, so much so that he almost called you pup.Â
Yeosang exhaled sharply, gripping the leather armrests as his mind raced. He was supposed to be in control. Supposed to be giving the orders. But right now, sitting in your chair, watching you kneel before him, it felt like he was the one unraveling.
âTake off your shirt.âÂ
He was getting comfortable now. He watched as you unbuttoned your top and discarded it to the side, leaving you only in your lacy black push-up bra. You placed your hands neatly over your lap, patiently awaiting his next request. Yeosang was stunned at how easily and effortlessly you followed his instruction, not showing a single sign of shame as you undressed in front of your junior. He wondered how far he could take it.Â
âTake that off too.âÂ
You unhooked the back part of your bra and tossed it to the side with your blouse, your hands returning to your lap.Â
Yeosang let himself relax into your chair, eyes fixed over your soft and bare skin. He bit the skin around his thumb, drinking in your physique. He wanted to touch them, knead them, feel their weight in his hands, but he kept himself restrained. He was growing to like this game and wanted to see what else he could make you do.Â
He licked his lips, finally settling on his next request. âCome here.â
You scooted closer to him, your eyes now level with his clothed cock.Â
âKiss it.âÂ
Without hesitation, you leaned forward, letting your lips trail slow, deliberate kisses along the outline of his growing bulge. You could feel the firmness of his balls from beneath the thick fabric, the desire to see them making your core ache with need. Glancing up through your lashes, you took in the sight of Yeosang already succumbing to the pleasure, his body relaxing into the chair, eyes dark with lust. He was undeniably beautiful, every feature accentuated by the flush of arousal, and the thought of pushing him to the edge, of watching him cum, was a temptation you could hardly resist.Â
You began palming his cock, feeling it stiffen just under your touch. âCan I please take it out, Mr. Kang?â You asked in an airless and sultry voice which no doubt made Yeosang feel weak.Â
Yeosang gripped the leather armrests and nodded. âGo on.âÂ
With glee, you unbuttoned his pants and fished out his throbbing cock, his skin feeling warm and tender as you gave it a few lazy strokes. You leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss to his blushing tip, the sudden touch making him hiss from his seat.Â
You giggled softly at his reaction, continuing to leave a trail of kisses on the sides of his cock, your hand gripping at the base. He felt so hot and heavy in your hand, and you were growing impatient for a taste.Â
âPut it in your mouth.âÂ
You eagerly fed him into your mouth, the weight on your tongue already making you dizzy. You salivated around his length, a few dribbles of drool rolling down his shaft. Yeosang could feel himself twitching inside you. The sight of his uptight boss with her mouth so full of his cock made his head spin, all the hesitations and apprehensions he had in the beginning now dissipating while a hunger took over him.Â
âNow suck it.âÂ
You began sucking at his head, the thickness of his hard cock proving to be a challenge, so much so that you could only really take the tip in your mouth. You grabbed onto the base with both hands, bobbing and slurping him as his breathing grew more unsteady. When you looked back up at him with your big, puppy-dog eyes, you were delighted to see that same Yeosang from earlierâthe one with fire in his eyes, with furrowed brows and a sharp tongue, throwing demands and names at you without hesitation. Gone was the quiet, obedient assistant who trailed behind you like a shadow. In his place sat a man who, for the first time, wasnât afraid to take up space. And you liked it.
âFuck,â He moaned, âThatâs it, thatâs a good puppyâŠtake all of me in that dumb little mouth, yeah, just like that.âÂ
You loved hearing him coach you, loved when he called you a dumb little puppy. You could feel your wetness leaking through your stockings, a need aching so strongly between your legs that you had no choice but to grind yourself over Yeosangâs new shoes, your slick wet juices glistening over the rubber soles.Â
Yeosang was so far gone now, his only purpose left being to chase his high. His hands gripped your strands tightly to hold you in place. Before you knew it, he was thrusting himself into you, his whole length pushing down into your throat with no warning. He set a brutal pace, fucking your mouth with no mercy, reveling in your wet gagging sounds as he makes use of your throat.Â
âFuck, I love fucking this little mouth,â He panted, âGood little slut, gonna take my cum? Gonna swallow all my cum down your little throat, huh?âÂ
Tears streamed down your face as he ruthlessly plowed into your mouth. Despite his roughness, your body trembled with need, your hips continuing to grind against his shoes, desperate for release. Your muffled moans vibrate around his shaft, spurring Yeosang on as he chases his pleasure.Â
Yeosang gripped your hair tightly, thrusting and plunging his hard cock deeper into your eager mouth. For years, he dealt with your nonstop nagging and bitching, and he had to admit it was nice to finally get you to shut up, with a mouth full of his cock no less. âThis is what you like, huh? You like being put in your place? Like being a little fuck doll for me?âÂ
He punctuated his words with harsh snaps of his hips. The term fuck doll was enough to send you over the edge. Your hips stilled, your core tightening as you came, your moans muffled by his hard cock. A devilish grin spread across his face as he playfully tapped the tip of his shoe against your swollen clit, the jolt of overstimulation sending shivers cascading through you. He relished in the sight of you laid bare in vulnerability, a stark contrast to the composed persona you typically wore. âSuch a mess for meâ He sighed, satisfied with your mascara-stained cheeks and reddened, slobbery lips. âSo, so prettyâŠâ
You grunted with each thrust, the tight clutch of your throat milking his cock deliciously. You looked up at him with pleading eyes, silently begging for his cum as you took everything he gave you. Your tongue danced along his shaft, massaging the sensitive underside as he fucked your face with wild abandon. You swallowed around him greedily, your throat convulsing along his length as you strived to please him.Â
With a final hard thrust, Yeosang buried himself deep into your warm mouth and let go, flooding your throat with ropes of his hot cum. His breath hitched, a deep, guttural sound of pleasure escaping him as his seed spilled and trickled from the corners of your lips. With firm hands, he held your head snugly against him, grinding against your face as he emptied himself, savoring the sight of you taking every fervent drop.
Your eyes brimmed with tears as you took him deeper, the bittersweet taste of his seed offering a strange satisfaction on your tongue. As you pulled away with a soft pop, Yeosang gently traced your lips with the tip of his cock, leaving a glistening trail of his pearly essence. You couldn't help but lick your lips in delight, a soft moan escaping you as you savored his flavor.
Yeosang felt like he could cum again from watching you grind your cum-drenched face on his cock. You were so desperate, so depraved, he almost couldnât believe this was you. The same career-driven CEO he had dutifully served, the woman who made decisions with razor-sharp precision, who commanded everyoneâs attention with a snap of her fingersâthis was what you secretly craved? To be stripped of control? To be the one taking orders instead of giving them? Who knew that the woman he had once feared, the one who dictated his every move, secretly longed to be a mindless servant, void of responsibility, bound by nothing but the will of someone else?
You gazed up at him adoringly, drinking at the sight of his ruffled hair, his heaving chest rising and falling as he caught his breath. The rawness of him, unfiltered and unrestrained, filled you with a thrill you hadnât felt in so long.
To serve someone else for once.
To be the one waiting, watching, hoping for approval.
To do so well for someone that it left them utterly speechless.
It was nearly midnight now, and you had a meeting at 7 AM. You should have stopped, should have called it a night, and sent him home. But how could you now? Not when your body was buzzing with anticipation, not when you craved moreâmore of his voice, more of his praise, more of him.
You wanted to keep going. To do more for him. To hear him call you his good little puppy again.
Slowly, you pushed back onto your heels, your wide, eager eyes locking with his.
âWhat would you like me to do now, Mr. Kang?â
I would greatly appreciate reblogs with comments and replies. please consider giving feedback if you enjoyed this.

The Original Timeline
Five Years Ago
The first and only time you met Jay Park was at the gallery opening of your college roommate's photography exhibit in New York. You wouldn't have been there at all if Priya hadn't practically begged you to help her make up the numbers.
"Just mingle for an hour," she'd pleaded over coffee that morning, eyes wide with artistic desperation. "Drink free champagne, eat expensive hors d'oeuvres, and pretend to understand modern art. I need this exhibit to succeed. My parents are still convinced I should have become a doctor."
So you'd ventured out into the crisp October evening to a renovated warehouse in Chelsea that now housed the Klein Gallery.
The moment you walked in, you regretted your decision.
The gallery was crowded with Manhattan's eliteâpeople whose casual conversations name-dropped summer homes in the Hamptons and winter getaways in Aspen. You recognized a few faces from glossy magazinesâa popular actress, a tech entrepreneur, a fashion designer.
You spotted Priya across the room, surrounded by attentive listeners, looking nothing like the frazzled artist who had practically lived in sweatpants throughout college. Tonight she was transformedâelegant in a silk jumpsuit, her long black hair swept into an artful updo.
Not wanting to interrupt her moment, you moved toward the bar, securing a glass of champagne that definitely wasn't the top-shelf variety promised. Glass in hand, you began the obligatory circuit of the room.
Priya's work had always struck you as technically skilled but emotionally distant. Tonight's collectionâtitled "Urban Dissolution"âfeatured black and white images of city landscapes in various states of decay. To your untrained eye, several looked like artistic shots of garbage.
You were examining one such photograph when someone spoke beside you.
"It's quite terrible, isn't it?"
The voice was pleasantâa warm baritone with just the slightest hint of an accent.
You turned to find a man in an impeccably tailored charcoal suit studying the same photograph with thinly veiled amusement. He was handsome in that polished, untouchable way of the extremely wealthyâperfect hair, perfect posture, everything about him screaming old money.
Under normal circumstances, you might have nodded politely and moved on. Men who looked like him rarely engaged in genuine conversation at events like these.
But something in his expressionâa hint of genuine mischief beneath the polished exteriorâmade you respond honestly.
"I wouldn't say that," you replied diplomatically. "Art is subjective."
"So is food poisoning, but we can still recognize it when we experience it." He gestured toward the photograph with his champagne flute. "This is visual food poisoning."
A startled laugh escaped you, drawing disapproving glances from a nearby couple examining the same piece with exaggerated intensity.
"That's my friend's work you're insulting," you said, lowering your voice.
"Ah." He didn't look remotely embarrassed. If anything, his smile widened, creating a small dimple in his left cheek. "Then I assume you're here out of obligation rather than appreciation."
You studied him more carefully. There was no malice in his expression, only genuine amusement and refreshing honesty.
"Isn't everyone at these things?" You glanced around the gallery. "Half the people here couldn't distinguish between a masterpiece and a child's finger painting, but they'll all have very strong opinions."
"Touché." His smile reached his eyes, transforming his face from merely handsome to genuinely compelling. "I'm Jay."
"Just Jay?" You raised an eyebrow. "No family name? No title or position that should impress me?"
"Tonight, just Jay." He seemed to appreciate that you didn't immediately offer your name in return. "And you are?"
"Just someone who defends her friends' artistic endeavors, no matter how questionable."
"Loyalty," he nodded, as if noting something important. "An underrated quality in rooms like this, where allegiances change with the season's trends."
There was something wistful in his observation, a flash of genuineness beneath the practiced charm. Before you could respond, a commotion near the entrance drew your attention.
A group had arrived, their entrance causing a ripple effect through the crowdâbacks straightening, conversations pausing, attention shifting.
"Duty calls," Jay murmured, his expression cooling. The playful stranger who had joked with you was vanishing, replaced by someone more controlled. "It was refreshing to meet you, Just Someone."
And then he was gone, moving toward the new arrivals. You watched as he transformed with each stepâshoulders squaring, chin lifting, smile shifting from genuine to practiced.
He bowed respectfully to an older couple at the center of the group, clearly his family. The womanâelegant, with silver-streaked black hairâexamined the gallery with the cool assessment of someone accustomed to making judgments that mattered.
It was only when Priya rushed over that you realized who you'd been talking to.
"Do you know who that was?" she hissed, gripping your arm. "The Jay Park. Park Industries! The Korean conglomerate that's expanding into American markets. Did you get his number?"
"We just talked about your photographs," you said, suddenly feeling out of place in your carefully selected but obviously off-the-rack dress. "He called them visual food poisoning."
Priya's expression didn't even flicker. "Jay Park insulted my work? That's practically a career highlight!" She snapped a discreet photo. "Wait until I tell my parentsâthey'll finally believe this wasn't a waste of my education."
You watched as Jay circulated through the room with practiced ease, his charisma deployed with strategic precision. The man who had stood beside you making irreverent comments might as well have been a different person entirely.
As you left the gallery hours later, you glanced back once to find Jay watching you from across the room. For just a moment, his public mask slipped, and he gave you a small, conspiratorial smile.
You never saw him again. Not in person, anyway.
Three Years Ago
"PARK HEIR ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED: JAY PARK TO WED ITALIAN HEIRESS"
The headline splashed across your phone screen during your morning subway commute. Normally, you'd have skipped past such celebrity gossip, but the name caught your attentionâthat brief memory of champagne and honesty in a New York gallery.
Curious, you tapped the article.
"Jay Park, 29, heir to the Park Industries empire, announced his engagement yesterday to Seraphina Visconti, 26, daughter of Italian shipping magnate Giorgio Visconti. The match unites two of the most influential business families across continents after a whirlwind romance of six months.
"'Seraphina represents everything the Parks valueâbusiness acumen, family loyalty, and global vision,' said Chairwoman Soo-min Park in a statement.
"The couple met during Park Industries' expansion into European markets. Sources suggest the marriage will cement a strategic partnership potentially worth billions."
Below the text was a photograph of Jay with his arm around a stunning woman with olive skin and a camera-ready smile. He looked exactly as you rememberedâhandsome, composed, untouchable. But something about his eyes seemed different. Harder, perhaps. The smile that had crinkled their corners in the gallery was nowhere to be seen.
You stared at the image longer than was reasonable for someone who had spoken to the man exactly once. There was something almost theatrical about the pose, the smiles, the carefully framed opulence.
"Good for him," you muttered, closing the article as the subway reached your stop. "Hope they're very happy together."
You found yourself wondering if he'd made that woman laugh genuinely, or if their relationship was built on the kind of performance you'd witnessed when his family arrived at the gallery.
You didn't think about Jay Park again for a long time.
Last Year
"PARK INDUSTRIES HEIR DISGRACED: JAY PARK REMOVED FROM FAMILY COMPANY AMID SCANDAL"
This headline caught your eye during lunch break. The photograph showed Jay leaving a building, face partially obscured, expression hidden behind dark sunglasses. Even in disgrace, he wore an impeccably tailored suit, though his tie was loosened and his normally perfect hair disheveled.
Something tightened in your chest at the image. You tapped on the article, pushing your salad aside.
"Jay Park has been removed from his position following allegations of corporate espionage and fraud. The Seoul Economic Prosecutor's Office confirmed yesterday that Park is under investigation for his role in the controversial merger between Park Industries and Hanjin Global.
"'Evidence suggests Mr. Park orchestrated the theft of proprietary information to facilitate the merger on terms exceptionally favorable to Park Industries,' stated Chief Prosecutor Kim. 'This represents a serious breach of corporate ethics and possibly criminal misconduct.'
"Sources revealed that Chairwoman Soo-min Park, Jay's mother, personally signed the termination papers. 'It was like watching an execution,' said one executive. 'The family cut him off completely. No defense, no second chances.'
"Adding personal tragedy to professional disgrace, Park's engagement to Italian heiress Seraphina Visconti was terminated shortly before the scandal broke."
You frowned at your screen. Something about the story felt wrongâthe swiftness of his family's abandonment, the convenient timing of the broken engagement, the way everyone seemed to distance themselves simultaneously, as if following a coordinated script.
But what did you know? You'd met the man once, years ago. That brief interaction hardly qualified you to judge the situation or the complex dynamics of global corporate politics.
Still, you couldn't shake the memory of his genuine smile, so different from the corporate mask he'd worn for his family. The way he'd spoken about loyalty as an underrated quality.
"Rough fall from grace," your coworker commented, noticing the article on your screen. "Guess even the mighty Parks can't escape karma."
"I guess not," you agreed absently. But privately you wondered what karma had to do with it. From what little you knew of chaebol families, they created their own destiniesâand occasionally, their own destruction.
Over the following months, you occasionally saw follow-up articles. The investigation seemed to drag on without clear resolution. Some outlets questioned aspects of the evidence. Others suggested political motivations behind the prosecution.
But as the story faded from headlines, you found yourself wondering sometimes what had happened to the man who had once made you laugh in an art galleryâthe man who, for a brief moment, had seemed genuinely human beneath the wealth and privilege.
Four Months Ago - Jay's Perspective
Jay Park stood at the window of his empty apartment, watching Seoul's lights glitter below. The city looked exactly the same as it had before his life implodedâindifferent to his disgrace. Photographers still camped outside his building, hoping to catch a glimpse of the fallen heir.
The penthouse that had once been featured in architectural magazines now echoed with emptiness. Most of the art and furnishings were goneâsome seized in the investigation, others reclaimed by his family when they'd cut him off.
His phoneâa new one, with a number known to fewer than five peopleâvibrated on the counter. He ignored it. The nearly empty bottle of scotch beside it held more appeal. He poured another measure into a glass that didn't match the crystal tumblers he'd once collected.
Jay took a long sip, noting with detached interest that his hand no longer shook. Progress, of a sort. The first few months after his downfall, he could barely hold a glass steady.
The evidence against him had been impeccable. Each document, each testimony, each transaction record forming a perfect constellation of guilt. So perfect that, had he not known with absolute certainty he was innocent, he might have believed it himself.
That was the elegant brutality of itâthe case was built not on crude forgeries, but on actual actions he had taken, actual meetings he had attended, all recontextualized to tell a story of corruption rather than innovation.
By the time he understood what was happening, the narrative had solidified. His former fiancée had disappeared back to Italy. His family had closed ranks against him. His so-called friends had vanished overnight.
"You always were too trusting, Jongseong."
His mother's words, delivered as she personally collected his company credentials. Not in privateâshe had ensured there were witnesses. The perfect chairwoman, putting corporate ethics above family loyalty.
He'd spent his entire life trying to prove himself worthy of the Park name, only to be discarded the moment it became expedient.
His phone vibrated again. A text from his attorney: "Prosecutor offering deal. Meet tomorrow."
Jay didn't bother responding. There would be no deal. Not because he was noble, but because accepting a deal meant accepting guilt. And while the world might believe him guilty, he refused to validate the lie.
He returned to the window, scotch in hand. Somewhere in that landscape were the people who had orchestrated his downfall. Were they celebrating still? Or had they already moved on to their next target, his destruction just another successful transaction?
One photograph lay face-down on the counterâSeraphina smiling beside him at their engagement party, her eyes fixed on the camera with practiced warmth. The perfect couple. The perfect alliance. The perfect lie.
"I never saw it coming," he murmured. "Not from you."
That was the truly unforgivable partânot the betrayal itself, but his blind failure to anticipate it. All the signs had been there: her sudden interest when the Hanjin merger was first discussed, her questions about his meetings, her friendship with his cousin.
But he'd been too enthralled with the idea of herâthe perfect partner who fit the plan he'd constructed for his life.
Jay drained his glass. He should sleep. Tomorrow would bring more meetings, more denials, more evidence of his spectacular fall.
He was turning from the window when it happenedâa sharp, stabbing pain behind his eyes, so intense he dropped his glass. It shattered as he clutched his head, the pain expanding outward like a supernova.
The room tilted sideways. His hand passed through the wall as though it were mist. The familiar contours of his apartment seemed to dissolve, replaced by swirling darkness.
His last conscious thought was strangely clear, cutting through the pain:
I would do it all differently.
Jay opened his eyes to sunlight streaming through unfamiliar curtains.
Noânot unfamiliar. His old curtains, from his suite in the family compound. The heavy navy drapes his mother had replaced three years ago.
He sat up with a jolt, banging his head against the headboard with an undignified thud.
"What theâ" he muttered, rubbing his forehead while blinking at his surroundings.
This room had been redecorated after he moved out. The traditional furniture, the blue walls, the precise arrangement of his diplomasâall of it had been erased when his mother decided the space needed to "reflect the modern sensibilities of Park Industries' future."
Jay scrambled out of bed, tangling himself in sheets he hadn't slept in for yearsâ1,000 thread count Egyptian cotton in navy blue, not the minimalist white linens of his apartment.
He stumbled to the bathroom. The face that stared back from the mirror made him grip the countertop until his knuckles went white.
"Impossible," he whispered.
The face was his, but not the one he'd seen yesterday. No dark circles. No stress lines. No gray hairs at his temples. This was him from... before.
"I've lost my mind," he announced to the empty bathroom. "This is what a psychotic break feels like."
He splashed cold water on his face, half expecting the hallucination to dissolve.
Back in the bedroom, his phone chimed. Not the anonymous device he'd been using since his disgrace, but his old phoneâthe one with the Park Industries logo, the one seized by prosecutors.
He approached it like it might explode, picking it up between two fingers.
The calendar notification made him drop the phone directly onto his foot.
"Son of aâ" he yelped, hopping awkwardly.
He snatched up the phone again and stared at the date.
Five years in the past.
Another notification: "Meeting with Chairman Kang's team at 11. Merger exploration talks. Confidential."
Kang. The first domino in what would become his downfall. The meeting that would eventually lead him to Seraphina Visconti.
"This can't be happening," he said, running his hands through his hair until it stood in a manner his perfectly-coiffed future self would find horrifying.
The bedroom door suddenly swung open. Jay yelped and grabbed a decorative pillow to cover his chest.
His mother's executive assistant, Mrs. Joseph, stood in the doorway, her expression somehow even more judgmental as she took in his disheveled state.
"Mr. Park," she said with glacial formality, "your mother wishes to remind you that the board meeting begins in forty-five minutes."
"Mrs. Joseph," Jay managed, clutching the tasseled pillow, "what day is it today?"
One perfectly plucked eyebrow rose a millimeter.
"It is Tuesday, Mr. Park. The 17th of October, 2018."
Five years in the past. Confirmed by the human calendar that was Mrs. Joseph, who had never been wrong about a date in twenty years.
"Thank you. Please tell my mother I'll be there."
Mrs. Joseph nodded and closed the door.
Jay stood frozen before bursting into motion, pacing and gesturing wildly.
"Time travel isn't real," he informed his empty room. "This is a complete psychological break."
He stopped in front of the mirror, pointing an accusatory finger at his reflection.
"You are having a nervous breakdown."
His phone chimed again. A text from his cousin Danny: "You look like hell on the security feed. Board meeting in 44 minutes. Pull yourself together."
Jay glanced at the discreet camera in the corner, then back at his phone.
Other people could see him. Other people were interacting with him. This wasn't just in his head.
"I've gone back in time," he whispered, testing the words. "I've gone back in time!"
A hysterical laugh bubbled up from his chest. He had a second chance. A chance to avoid Seraphina. A chance to prevent the merger catastrophe. A chance to protect himself from betrayal before it began.
Then he froze, composing himself. If this was real, he needed to be strategic.
"Park Jongseong," he told his reflection sternly, "pull yourself together. You have a board meeting in forty-three minutes. And then you have a life to completely rebuild."
As he headed for the bathroom, he caught himself whistling. Park Jongseong didn't whistle. Park Jongseong was dignified, serious, and focused at all times.
But then again, Park Jongseong also didn't time travel. So perhaps some new rules were in order.
Forty-two minutes later, Jay found himself seated in the most uncomfortable chair in Seoulânot because of its design, but because of who surrounded it.
The Park Industries boardroom was exactly as he remembered it from before its renovation. Twenty-four seats around a massive mahogany table, each position equipped with a recessed screen and an elegant portfolio. The room smelled of sandalwood and concentrated power.
And around him sat the very people who would one day abandon him without hesitation.
His mother, Chairwoman Soomin Park, presided at the head, her silver-streaked hair in a severe chignon. His father sat opposite, expression fixed in the distant contemplation that had always characterized their relationship. Next to him was Uncle Jiho, whose vote would be first to condemn Jay when the time came. Beside his mother sat Aunt Mina, who would publicly declare his actions "disappointing but not surprising."
They were all watching him. Or perhaps he was just paranoid. Hard to tell which was more reasonable when you'd time-traveled into your younger body.
"The Q3 projections for the semiconductor division," droned CFO Yun. "As you can see, we're exceeding targets by 4.3% despite supply chain challenges..."
Jay nodded mechanically, trying to appear engaged while his mind raced. He kept catching himself staring at people who shouldn't be noteworthyâlike Director Kang, who would later introduce him to Seraphina Visconti.
"Jongseong."
He jerked upright, realizing his mother had addressed him directly.
"Iâ" he began, having no idea what had been asked. "Could you repeat the question?"
A flicker of annoyance crossed his mother's face. "I said, do you have the projections for the European market expansion? The ones you insisted were ready for board review?"
Right. The European expansion. The document that would eventually lead to the Visconti partnership. The first step in his downfall.
"I've been reconsidering those projections," he said, his voice sounding strange in his ears. "I believe we should focus on domestic consolidation before extending into Europe."
A heavy silence fell over the room. In the original timeline, he'd aggressively championed European expansion for months.
"You've been... reconsidering," his mother repeated, each syllable precisely weighted. "Since last night's strategy meeting, where you presented a seventy-page report detailing exactly why European expansion cannot wait?"
Jay cleared his throat, tugging at his suddenly tight collar. "I've had some... insights."
"Insights," she echoed flatly.
"Yes. About... market volatility." Jay caught sight of his reflection in the darkened screenâhe looked like someone trying to defuse a bomb while wearing oven mitts. "And geopolitical considerations. Brexit currency fluctuations. You know. Business... things."
Director Kang frowned. "But your analysis specifically addressed Brexit concerns, concluding they presented opportunity rather than obstacle."
"Well, people can change their minds," Jay said, a bit too forcefully.
His mother set down her penânever a good sign. "Are you feeling well, Jongseong?"
"Perfectly well. Never better."
"You look flushed. And you're sweating."
Jay reached up, mortified to find his forehead damp. Park Jongseong did not sweat in board meetings.
"It's rather warm in here."
"It's sixty-eight degrees, as always," his mother replied. "Your grandfather had similar symptoms before his stroke. The disorientation. The contradictory statements."
"I'm not having a stroke," Jay said, horrified that this conversation was happening in front of the entire board.
"He said the same thing," contributed his aunt helpfully. "Right before he tried to sign a merger agreement with a potted plant."
"I know what day it is," Jay offered as proof of his mental faculties. "It's Tuesday, October 17, 2018."
This did not have the intended effect. If anything, his mother's concern deepened.
"Yes," she said slowly. "Most people with calendars know the date. More relevant is your explanation for this sudden policy reversal."
Jay scrambled for a plausible explanation that wouldn't sound like 'I've seen the future and it ends with all of you betraying me.'
"I received some... intelligence," he said finally. "About certain European partners. It requires verification before we proceed."
This, at least, was the language of business his mother understood. Her expression shifted from concern to calculation.
"What intelligence, and from whom?"
"I'd prefer to discuss that privately," he said, finding his footing. "After I've confirmed some details."
His mother studied him, then gave a slight nod. "Very well. We'll revisit the European strategy next week."
As the presentation resumed, Jay exhaled slowly, only to catch his father watching him with an evaluative expression he couldn't quite interpret.
His phone vibrated. Grateful for the distraction, he discreetly checked the message.
From Jake: Dude, what was THAT? Your mom thinks you're having a stroke, and Danny says you were talking to yourself this morning. Also, Priya's exhibition is Friday, don't forget you promised to come. Her parents are visiting from Mumbai and she's freaking out.
Jay blinked, momentarily confused. Priya? Jake's girlfriend. The photographer. The exhibition.
A distant memory stirredâsomething about an art gallery in New York, some terrible photographs, and...
He frowned, trying to recall. There had been someone there, hadn't there? Someone he'd spoken to briefly. He couldn't remember a face or name, just a vague impression of a genuine laugh and an honest conversation.
He typed back: Not having a stroke. Just reconsidering some strategies. What time Friday?
Jake's reply came instantly: 8PM, Klein Gallery in Chelsea. Wear something that makes you look less corporate robot, more human person.
Jay tucked his phone away, the half-formed memory already fading as more pressing concerns demanded his attention.
"Jongseong, do you have anything to add to Director Park's assessment?"
Jay looked up to find the entire board staring at him again. He hadn't heard a word of what Director Park had said.
"I think Director Park's assessment is... comprehensive," he managed, having no idea what he was endorsing.
"He asked for your input on canceling the Daewon acquisition."
"Right." Jay straightened. The Daewon acquisitionâa company they had purchased and later sold at a significant profit in his original timeline. "I believe we should proceed with the acquisition. Their patent portfolio alone justifies the investment."
Director Park nodded approvingly. "Exactly my point."
Jay relaxed marginally, only to tense again when his mother spoke.
"That's interesting, considering Director Park just recommended we cancel the acquisition due to their overvalued patents."
The room fell silent. Jay felt heat creeping up his neck.
"I was... testing to see if anyone was paying attention?"
His mother's sigh could have withered steel. "We'll take a ten minute recess. Jongseong, my office. Now."
As the board members filed out, his father paused briefly beside him.
"Whatever's going on with you, fix it before your mother decides you need medical intervention. Or worse, reassignment."
With that less-than-comforting advice, Jay followed his mother to what would undoubtedly be the most awkward conversation of his newly-regained past life.
"Close the door," his mother instructed as they entered her office, a minimalist sanctuary of glass and steel.
Jay obeyed, steeling himself for the dissection that was about to occur.
"Sit," she commanded, taking her place behind a desk large enough to land a small aircraft.
He complied, automatically adjusting his posture to the rigid formality expected. Twenty-nine years of conditioning didn't disappear even with temporal displacement.
"What is happening with you?"
"Nothing serious, I assure you. Just a temporaryâ"
"That was not a board performance worthy of a Park," she interrupted. "You contradicted yourself, failed to pay attention, and gave the impression of someone who is either incompetent or unwell. Neither is acceptable."
"I apologize, Mom. It won't happen again."
The moment the word left his mouth, Jay was surprised at his own casualness. Mom. Not "Mother" or "Chairwoman" as he'd taken to calling her in professional settings.
His mother's expression softened almost imperceptiblyâvisible only to someone who had spent a lifetime learning to read her minute facial cues.
"It's been a while since you've called me that in this office," she noted, neither disapproving nor sentimental. The Parks might be ruthless in business, but family was family. "Though it doesn't exempt you from explaining your behavior this morning."
"I'm simply... reconsidering certain aspects of my approach."
"Your approach," she echoed skeptically.
"Yes. I've been thinking that perhaps I've been too rigid. Too focused on following a preset path without questioning whether it's the optimal route."
Her expression shifted subtly. "And this revelation came to you when, exactly?"
"Recently," he hedged.
"I see." She tapped one nail against her desk. "And does this 'reconsideration' include your personal life as well?"
Jay tensed. "What do you mean?"
"I mean that you've spent five years claiming to be too focused on your career for serious relationships, despite my repeated reminders that a suitable marriage is an essential component of your position. If you're reconsidering 'preset paths,' perhaps this is an area you might prioritize."
And there it was. In the original timeline, this conversation had led to his first introduction to the Visconti family.
"I don't believe my focus should be on marriage at this time," he said carefully.
"And yet you're now suggesting we delay European expansion, which leaves you with considerably more bandwidth." She opened a drawer and removed a slim folder. "I've taken the liberty of updating your candidate dossiers."
Of course she had. In his mother's world, suitable marriage partners were assessed with the same due diligence as potential acquisitions.
"I appreciate your thoroughness, but I'll handle this aspect of my life myself."
The temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. "You've been 'handling it yourself' since graduation, with no results. The Kang family has been quite direct about their interest in an alliance through their daughter."
Jay suppressed a grimace. Se-yeon Kang. The woman who had introduced him to Seraphina at her father's request.
"The Kangs are not a suitable match," he said sharply.
"On what basis?"
On the basis that they were integral to his destruction, he thought bitterly.
"I have concerns about their long-term business ethics," he said instead.
"Interesting." She made a note on her tablet. "I wasn't aware you had investigated the Kang operations."
"I make it my business to be thorough."
"Perhaps you're not as distracted as you appeared in the boardroom, then."
Jay recognized the familiar patternâhis mother testing him, probing for weaknesses. In his first life, he'd been so desperate for her approval that he'd missed the manipulation.
"I should prepare for the Kang meeting," he said, rising. "I'll need to review the materials given my reconsideration of our European strategy."
She nodded, dismissing him with a wave. "Don't embarrass yourself again. The board already thinks you're following in your grandfather's neurological footsteps."
At the door, he paused. In his previous life, he'd walked out of this office and directly into the trap being laid for him.
"One more thing," he said. "Who originally suggested the Visconti Group as a potential European partner?"
If the question surprised her, she didn't show it. "I believe Chairman Kang mentioned them at the economic forum in Davos. Why?"
"Just mapping connections. It helps me visualize the relationship web."
Her eyes narrowed slightlyâthe look she gave when recalculating her assessment. "Your grandfather used to say something similar. Before the stroke, of course."
With that parting barb, she dismissed him.
As Jay left, his phone vibrated again. Another text from Jake:
Almost forgotâPriya says to bring that friend of yours from the investment firm if he's still in town. She needs all the connections she can get.
Jay frowned. What friend from what investment firm? He didn't recall...
And then it clicked. The half-remembered interaction from the gallery. There had been someone else there that nightânot just the person he'd spoken to, but someone he'd been introduced to later.
If he attended this exhibition, he might run into that person againâthe one whose laugh he vaguely remembered. Not that it mattered particularly. Just a curious coincidence in his reshuffled timeline.
He pocketed his phone, mind already turning to more immediate concerns. The Kang meeting. The European strategy. The trap he needed to dismantle piece by piece.
A random stranger he'd once met at a gallery was hardly worth dwelling on when he had an entire future to reconstruct.
Autumn in New York welcomed Jay with crisp air and streets still gleaming from an afternoon shower. He stood outside the Klein Gallery in Chelsea, straightening cuffs that needed no adjustment.
The city felt different nowâfull of possibility rather than the shame and failure it would represent in his original timeline. Here, five years before his downfall, no photographers lurked hoping to catch the disgraced Park heir. He was just another wealthy visitor, anonymous in a city that specialized in ignoring the important.
The past three days had been a calculated offensive against his future ruin. Altered procurement strategies. Reassigned personnel. Extensive documentation that couldn't be manipulated later. He'd even faced down Kang himself, politely declining the European expansion that would eventually lead to his destruction.
All while maintaining the perfect Park Jongseong façade.
This trip to New York offered both strategic cover and unexpected relief. For a few precious hours, he could breathe without the weight of his name.
He checked his watch. He was early, deliberately so. Jake and Priya would arrive in twenty minutes, giving him time to assess the gallery and determine if his half-remembered encounter would repeat itself.
But the vagueness didn't matter. What mattered was the opportunity to alter one small variable in the equation of his life.
Since his mother had mentioned marriage in her office, a strategy had been forming in his mind. In the original timeline, the months following this trip had seen increasing pressure about his relationship status. His mother had begun introducing him to eligible candidatesâall with their own agendas, all connected to the world that would eventually close ranks against him.
And then came Seraphina. Perfect, beautiful, accomplished Seraphina. The woman who would eventually help orchestrate his destruction.
But what if he removed that variable entirely? What if he preempted the whole process? Elementary business strategy: block your opponent's best move before they make it.
Inside, the gallery was minimalistâwhite walls, polished concrete floors, strategic lighting. Jay moved through the space with practiced ease, accepting champagne from a passing server.
Priya's work was exactly as he rememberedâtechnically proficient but emotionally distant. Black and white urban landscapes hinting at decay and renewal. He paused before one he remembered discussing in the original timelineâthe one he'd compared to food poisoning.
"Considering an acquisition?" a voice asked. Not yours. The gallery ownerâKlein himself.
"Just appreciating the composition," Jay replied smoothly.
He scanned the room peripherally. The space was filling with the expected crowdâmoneyed New Yorkers performing interest in emerging artists, critics with studied expressions of judgment.
But no sign of you.
A flicker of concern crossed his mind. Had his earlier manipulations altered the timeline so significantly that you wouldn't attend?
"Mr. Park!" Priya approached with nervous energy
"The exhibition looks excellent," Jay said, offering Priya a polite air-kiss. "Your work has evolved considerably."
A kind lie. Her work was exactly as he remembered it.
"That means so much coming from you," Priya gushed. "Jake said you've been impossibly busy with the European expansion plans."
Jay shot Jake a warning look, but his friend merely shrugged.
"Sorry, forgot it was all very hush-hush and corporate espionage-y." Jake clapped Jay's shoulder. "You look terrible, by the way. In an expensive, tailored way, but still terrible. Are you sleeping these days?"
In his first life, Jay would have bristled at such criticism. Now, after everything, he felt unexpected gratitude for Jake's honesty. He'd forgotten this about their friendshipâhow Jake treated him as a person, not the Park heir.
"Sleep is for those without quarterly projections," Jay replied dryly.
"You're not fine, you're just good at faking fine. The Park family specialty." Jake surveyed the crowd. "Speaking of fake, look at all these people pretending to understand Priya's art when half couldn't tell profound commentary from pictures of garbage."
Priya elbowed him. "My parents will be here any minute. Please pretend to be cultured."
"Fine. I'll practice my 'this speaks to me spiritually' face." Jake grinned and headed for the bar.
"He's impossible," Priya sighed affectionately. "But he's been amazing with my parents. Even learned Hindi phrases for my father."
Jay nodded, remembering with a pang how Jake and Priya's engagement had been "postponed" after his disgrace. No one wanted ties to a pariah, not even his oldest friend.
"Jay?" Priya studied him. "Are you okay? You seem... different somehow."
Before he could answer, the gallery's atmosphere shiftedâthe crowd parting for Priya's parents. She excused herself, leaving Jay alone.
His mind returned to his strategy. He needed someone who could occupy the space Seraphina would fill, disrupting the timeline ending in his ruin. Someone far removed from his world.
Youâif you showed upâwould be perfect. Not for any particular quality, but for what you weren't. You weren't connected to his family's web of alliances. You had no ties to competing conglomerates. You carried no hidden agenda.
Your ignorance of his world wasn't a liabilityâit was your greatest asset. You couldn't be manipulated by the forces that orchestrated his destruction because you existed outside their sphere.
It wasn't personal. He didn't need a soulmate; he needed a shield. The fact that he remembered your laugh was merely incidental. A convenient connection point for his strategy.
The gallery door opened, admitting a gust of cool air and a latecomerâyou.
Recognition hit immediately. How had he forgotten so many details? Your self-conscious movements. Your genuine curiosity instead of affected boredom.
Jay moved toward you before consciously deciding to, drawn by the chance to rewrite this small piece of his past. He intercepted you at the photograph he knew you'd examineâthe one you'd defended despite its quality.
He reminded himself: this was strategy, not sentiment. Business, not emotion. This was about survival.
"It's quite terrible, isn't it?" Jay said, repeating his original words.
You turned, and he was struck by your direct gazeâno calculation, just human curiosity.
"I wouldn't say that," you replied, amusement tugging at your mouth. "Art is subjective."
"So is food poisoning, but we recognize it when we experience it." He gestured with his champagne. "This is visual food poisoning."
A startled laugh escaped youâgenuine, unguarded. The sound hit Jay with unexpected force. For a moment, his calculated facade cracked, replaced by a genuine impulse to connect.
He pushed the feeling aside. Focus on the objective.
"That's my friend's work you're insulting," you said quietly.
"Ah. Then you're here from obligation rather than appreciation?"
"Isn't everyone?" You glanced around. "Half these people couldn't distinguish masterpieces from finger paintings, but they'll have strong opinions borrowed from the last opening."
The conversation unfolded exactly as beforeâeerie yet comforting.
"I'm Jay," he said, memorizing your face.
"Just Jay? No impressive title?"
"Park. Jay Park. But I'd prefer to be just Jay tonight."
You assessed him with refreshing directness. "And what does Just Jay do when not critiquing photography?"
Another deviation from the original timeline. A small ripple that could grow into a wave.
"Corporate strategy," he replied vaguely. "Nothing as interesting as defending questionable art. And you are...?"
The gallery door opened, and Jay felt a cold jolt as his family entered, causing the usual ripple through the crowd. His mother, father, relativesâall unaware they would eventually abandon him when convenient.
This was the moment. Originally, he'd left without your name, swept back into the path leading to Seraphina and his destruction.
Not this time.
"I should warn you," he said conspiratorially, "I'm about to transform into someone less honest and more boring. Corporate obligation." He nodded toward his family. "But before I doâyour name? In case our paths cross again."
Behind this casual request lay his entire strategy. Your name would be the first stone in his new foundation.
As he waited, his gaze intensified slightly. To you, it might seem like normal interest. To him, it was the focus of someone placing extraordinary significance on an ordinary exchange.
This wasn't just about a nameâit was about architecture. The careful redesign of his future. And you, unknowingly, were about to become a cornerstone.
"Y/N"
-
The syllables hung in the air between them for a moment. Jay's smile shiftedâgenuine now, not the practiced expression he deployed at corporate functions.
"It's been a pleasure meeting you, Y/N." He reached for your hand, a brief, professional clasp. "Unfortunately, duty calls."
He slipped you his cardânot the formal Park Industries one, but a sleeker personal version with just his name and private number. A deliberate choice. The first move in his new game.
"Perhaps we'll cross paths again," he said. His tone casual, but his gaze wasn't. It held yours a moment longer than social convention dictated.
Then he was gone, transforming with each step toward his family. Shoulders squaring. Expression cooling. The brief glimpse of honest humanity tucked away beneath the polished exterior of Park Jongseong, corporate heir.
You watched him bow to his mother, exchange handshakes with other family members, fluidly inserting himself into their formal orbit. The man who had made irreverent comments about art seemed to evaporate entirely.
"The exhibition demonstrates impressive technical skill," Jay's mother observed an hour later, champagne flute held at a precise angle. "Though the subject matter is rather... conventional."
This assessment came after a methodical circuit of the gallery, during which the Park family had drawn considerable attention without seeming to notice it.
"Priya has potential," Jay replied diplomatically. "Her composition exhibits strong understanding of negative space."
Art criticism wasn't the point of this conversation, and they both knew it. His mother was watching him carefully, calculating something behind her perfect smile.
"I spotted you speaking with someone earlier," she mentioned with practiced casualness. "Before we arrived."
And there it was. Nothing escaped her notice.
"A friend of the artist," Jay said, matching her casual tone. "We were discussing the merits of contemporary photography."
"I see." His mother's gaze swept the room, locating you within seconds where you stood chatting with Priya near the bar. "Not the usual social circle you frequent."
"Perhaps that's refreshing." Jay sipped his champagne, strategic in his mild defiance. "One tires of the same conversations."
His mother's eyebrow arched slightlyâthe equivalent of open surprise from anyone else.
"Interesting," she said, recalculating variables in her mental dossier. "Does this relate to your sudden disinterest in the European expansion?"
"Not directly," Jay replied. "Though both reflect a broader reassessment of paths worth pursuing."
She studied him with the penetrating gaze that had intimidated business rivals for decades. "You've changed, Jongseong. Since when, I'm not certain. But something is different."
"Growth isn't change, Mother. It's evolution." He'd never spoken to her this way in his first timelineâconfident but not confrontational. "The core remains the same."
His father approached, ending their private exchange. "The Visconti Group's representative just arrived," he informed his wife. "The one you wanted to meet."
Jay's pulse quickened. In the original timeline, this casual introduction had been the first seed planted. The beginning of his eventual destruction.
"Another time, perhaps," Jay interjected smoothly before his mother could respond. "I promised Jake I'd speak with some potential collectors. His girlfriend would be devastated if the night wasn't successful."
His father's expression registered mild surprise at this unusual prioritization of friendship over business.
"Of course," his mother said, analyzing this new data point. "Family supports family's associates. That's the Park way."
The subtle reminder of obligation came with her practiced smile. Not a reprimand, but a note being filed away for future reference.
Jay inclined his head respectfully and moved away, circulating through the crowd with practiced ease. He exchanged pleasantries with critics, complimented the gallery owner, and strategically positioned himself near a group of potential collectors, laying groundwork for a purchase that would help Priya's career.
All while remaining acutely aware of your location in the room.
-
Two hours later, Jay found himself in a strategic position near the coat check as you prepared to leave. The gallery had begun to empty, the initial excitement of the opening fading into the routine pattern of a Thursday night in Chelsea.
"Leaving so soon?" he asked, timing his approach to appear coincidental.
You looked up, surprise flickering across your face. "Just Jay. I thought you'd be trapped in corporate obligation all night."
"A temporary reprieve." He smiled. "The family business discussions have moved to dinner at Le Bernardin."
"Very fancy," you commented. "I'm headed for much humbler fareâthe subway and takeout."
Jay glanced at his watch. "Actually, I find myself with an unexpected hour before I need to join them. Perhaps you'd allow me to buy you a proper dinner? There's an excellent place just around the corner." He kept his tone casual, the invitation seemingly spontaneous.
You hesitated, studying him with that direct gaze he found so refreshing. "Why would you want to have dinner with a complete stranger when you clearly have more important places to be?"
The directness of the question caught him slightly off-guard. In his world, people rarely questioned Park Jongseong's motivations to his face.
"Because you're the only interesting conversation I've had all evening," he replied, allowing a hint of genuine feeling to color his words. "Everyone else is either trying to sell me something, impress me, or secure an introduction to my mother."
You considered this, head tilted slightly. "And what makes you think I'm not doing the same?"
Jay laughedâa real laugh, not his polished social chuckle. "The fact that you just asked that question, for starters."
Something in your expression softened. "One hour. And it had better be good food."
"I never compromise on quality," Jay assured you, suppressing the satisfaction of a well-executed strategic move. "The restaurant is just three blocks from here."
As you walked together into the crisp autumn evening, Jay maintained the perfect balance of professional distance and personal interest. He asked about your work (freelance journalism), your history with Priya (college roommates), your thoughts on New York's cultural scene (overpriced but occasionally transcendent).
Each piece of information carefully filed away. Each response analyzed for potential complications or advantages to his developing strategy.
The restaurantâan upscale Italian place with discreet lighting and well-spaced tablesâprovided the ideal setting for his purposes. Impressive without being intimidating. Exclusive enough to require his name for a last-minute table, but not so ostentatious that it would make you uncomfortable.
"So," you said once you were seated and had ordered, "are you going to tell me what Park Industries actually does? Or am I supposed to pretend I don't know you're practically royalty in South Korea?"
Again, that directness. Jay found himself genuinely smiling.
"Technically, we do everything from semiconductors to shipping," he replied. "But that's hardly dinner conversation. I'd rather hear more about your work. Journalism must give you a unique perspective."
"Nice deflection," you noted, but allowed the conversation to shift.
For fifty-three minutes, Jay executed a perfect performance of genuine connection. He asked thoughtful questions. Shared carefully selected personal anecdotes. Displayed just enough vulnerability to seem authentic without revealing anything truly significant.
He studied your reactions, adjusting his approach subtly based on what resonated. When you responded to his dry humor, he offered more. When certain topics sparked genuine interest in your eyes, he explored them further.
A strategic seductionâbut not a romantic one. He was securing an ally. Establishing a connection outside the corrupted network that had eventually destroyed him.
When his phone vibrated with a text from his mother, he allowed himself a calculated show of reluctance.
"Duty calls," he said, echoing his words from earlier in the gallery. "I've enjoyed this conversation more than you know."
"It was surprisingly pleasant," you agreed with a hint of amusement. "Despite the suspicious circumstances."
He signaled for the check. "Suspicious?"
"Wealthy heir suddenly interested in random gallery-goer? That's either the beginning of a romance novel or a cautionary tale." You smiled to soften the words. "I'm still deciding which."
Jay laughed again, caught between strategic calculation and genuine appreciation of your perception.
"Perhaps neither," he suggested. "Perhaps just two people enjoying conversation without agenda."
"Everyone has an agenda," you replied, gathering your things. "Even if they don't recognize it themselves."
How right you were. If only you knew the elaborate mental chess game he was playing, with you as a central piece.
Outside the restaurant, he made his final move of the eveningâperfectly calibrated for maximum effect without seeming too eager.
"I'll be in New York for another two days," he said casually. "If you're free tomorrow evening, perhaps you could show me a part of the city tourists don't usually see. Something authentic."
The invitation was designed to appeal to your evident independence and local knowledge. To position you as the expert rather than the pursued. A subtle flattery that didn't register as manipulation.
"I might be available," you said, considering. "Depends on my deadline."
"Of course." He nodded respectfully. "You have my number. No pressure either way."
As he hailed a taxi for you, he allowed his hand to brush yours brieflyâa manufactured moment of connection carefully designed to seem accidental.
"Goodnight, Y/N," he said as you stepped into the cab. "I hope to hear from you tomorrow."
You smiled through the window, giving a small wave as the taxi pulled away.
Jay watched until the taillights disappeared into Manhattan traffic, then straightened his tie and hailed his own car. His expression shifted seamlessly from warm interest to cool calculation.
Phase one: complete. You had been introduced into the equation. A new variable with the potential to disrupt the entire sequence leading to his downfall.
As his driver navigated toward Le Bernardin, Jay mentally mapped the next steps. He would need to provide his mother with enough information to satisfy her curiosity without triggering her strategic instincts. Plant seeds with his father about potential advantages of connections outside their usual network. Begin building documentation that would position you as a completely independent connection, not part of any competing corporate interest.
His phone buzzed with a message from his cousin Danny: Mom says you're acting strange. She wants intel on whoever you were talking to at the gallery.
Jay smiled tightly. The family machine was already turning its attention to this unexpected development. Exactly as he'd anticipated.
He typed back: Just making connections. Nothing significant.
Let them underestimate this move. Let them dismiss you as a casual interest, a temporary distraction.
By the time they recognized the strategic importance of what he was building, it would be too late. The timeline would be irreversibly altered.
And Jay Park would never again find himself standing alone in an empty apartment, betrayed by everyone he had trusted.
Another message appeared on his screenâthis one from an unknown number.
Tomorrow, 7pm. Wear comfortable shoes and nothing that screams "I'm worth kidnapping for ransom." â Y/N
Jay allowed himself a moment of genuine satisfaction. The pieces were moving exactly as he'd calculated.
Tomorrow, the real work would begin.
-
The next evening proved Jay's instincts correct. You were indeed the perfect variable to introduce into his equation.
You arrived at the designated meeting spot in Washington Square Park wearing jeans, a well-worn leather jacket, and boots that suggested you actually walked places rather than being chauffeured. Jay had followed your instructions, trading his usual bespoke suit for dark jeans, a cashmere sweater, and shoes that would survive more than a board meeting.
"You clean up nicely," you said, appraising his attempt at casual attire. "Almost pass for a normal person."
"My greatest performance yet," he replied with a self-deprecating smile. "Where to first?"
"That depends. What's your tolerance for authenticity? Real New York isn't exactly five-star accommodations."
Jay's smile widened. "Test me."
And you did. For the next three hours, you led him through a New York he'd never seen despite countless business trips. Hidden speakeasies accessed through fake phone booths. A Ukrainian diner where the servers scowled and the food defied description but somehow tasted like memory. A rooftop garden secretly maintained by an elderly couple who'd been cultivating it since the 1970s.
Throughout the evening, Jay maintained his careful balanceâgenuinely enjoying himself while strategically gathering information. Your job prospects (promising but unstable). Your family situation (supportive but financially modest). Your relationship status (refreshingly unattached).
Each piece of data confirmed what he'd hoped: you were the perfect candidate. Independent enough to make your own decisions, stable enough to be reliable, ambitious enough to appreciate opportunity, and disconnected enough from his world to be safe from manipulation.
"Admit it," you said as you sat on rusty chairs atop the secret garden, city lights spread before you. "This is better than whatever fancy restaurant your family's at tonight."
"Infinitely," Jay agreed, and meant it. The evening had been unexpectedly liberating. Here, he wasn't Park Jongseong, heir and corporate prince. He was just Jay, a guy experiencing New York's hidden corners with an interesting woman. "Though my mother would need smelling salts if she saw these chairs."
You laughed, the sound still as honest as he remembered. "Why do I get the feeling you're not often allowed to just... exist? Without expectations or performance metrics?"
The observation was so accurate it momentarily disrupted his careful strategy. For a second, he considered telling you everythingâthe time travel, his disgrace, his desperate plan to rewrite his future.
But of course, that was impossible. Who would believe such madness?
"The privileges of my position come with corresponding obligations," he said instead, allowing a rare glimpse of genuine feeling. "My path was charted before I was born."
You studied him in the dim rooftop lighting. "And you've never considered drawing your own map?"
Jay looked out over the city, contemplating how to answer. The strategic response would be something vague but intriguing. But something about this nightâabout youâmade him unexpectedly honest.
"I'm attempting to redraw certain sections now," he said quietly. "It's... complicated."
"Family complications or business complications? Or are they the same thing for you?"
"Inextricably intertwined," Jay confirmed. "The Parks don't separate business from family or family from business. It's all one ecosystem."
"Sounds suffocating."
"It can be," he admitted, surprising himself again with his candor. "But it's also... secure. Structured. There's comfort in knowing your role."
"Until the role becomes a cage," you observed.
The conversation was veering dangerously close to truth. Jay redirected gently.
"What about you? No family business directing your path?"
You shook your head. "Just student loans and rent directing my career choices. Not exactly the same scale of problems."
"Different cages," Jay said. "Different gilding."
A comfortable silence fell between you. Below, the city pulsed with energyâmillions of lives intersecting, diverging, each on their own trajectory.
"I should probably get you back to civilization," you said eventually. "Before your security detail reports you missing."
Jay checked his watch, surprised to find it was nearly midnight. The evening had passed with unexpected swiftness.
"I've dismissed security for the night," he said, rising from the rusty chair. "But you're right, it's late. Let me walk you home."
You shook your head. "That defeats the purpose of me showing you hidden New York. I'll walk myself home like a proper New Yorker."
"At least let me get you a car."
"The subway is faster this time of night."
Jay smiled at your stubbornness. Another quality that made you ideal for his purposes. "Then I'll accompany you to the subway."
As you descended from the rooftop, Jay made his decision. The evening had confirmed everything he needed to know. You were perfectâself-sufficient, perceptive, and most importantly, unconnected to the web that would eventually try to destroy him.
It was time to set his actual plan in motion. Earlier than he'd originally calculated, but the opportunity was too perfect to ignore.
Outside the subway entrance, you turned to say goodbye. "This was surprisingly enjoyable, Just Jay. You're not at all what I expected."
"Is that a compliment?"
"An observation." Your smile took any sting from the words. "Maybe I'll see you next time you're in New York."
It was the opening he needed. Jay took a calculated breath.
"What if it were sooner than that?" he asked, carefully casual. "What if I had a proposition for you?"
Your eyebrows rose slightly. "A proposition sounds suspiciously like business."
"Perhaps a merger of interests," Jay said, watching your reaction closely.
"I'm not qualified to consult for Park Industries, if that's where this is going."
"Nothing to do with the company. This is personal." Jay paused, choosing his next words carefully. "Would you have dinner with me tomorrow? There's something I'd like to discuss that could be mutually beneficial."
Wariness crept into your expression. "That sounds ominous."
"It's not illegal or immoral," he assured you. "Just... unusual. But I think you might be the perfect person for it."
"Now I'm definitely concerned."
Jay smiled, allowing genuine warmth to show. "Trust me enough for one more dinner? If you hate the proposal, we part as friends with an interesting story about the time a Korean businessman made you a strange offer."
You studied him for a long moment. "Fine. But a public place, and I reserve the right to walk out if things get weird."
"Perfectly reasonable terms," Jay agreed. "I'll text you the details."
After you disappeared down the subway steps, Jay hailed a car back to his hotel. His mind was already composing the proposal, weighing phrases and possibilities. The timing was delicate. Too direct, and you'd be justifiably alarmed. Too vague, and you'd dismiss it as absurd.
But if presented correctly, with the right incentives and assurances...
It could work. It had to work.
-
The restaurant Jay selected for their final evening was elegant without being ostentatious. Private enough for serious conversation but public enough to meet your safety requirements. He arrived early, ensuring the perfect tableâsecluded but visible, with clear sightlines to exits.
You arrived precisely on time, wearing a dress that suggested you'd taken this meeting more seriously than yesterday's casual exploration. Good. It indicated you were intrigued enough to make an effort.
"I half-expected to be stood up," Jay said as you sat down.
"I considered it," you admitted. "But curiosity won out. I spent all day trying to imagine what this mysterious proposition could be."
"And your theories?"
"Either you're recruiting me for corporate espionage, or this is an elaborate setup for asking me on a real date."
Jay smiled. "Neither, though the second option is less absurd than the first."
The waiter brought menus and wine recommendations. Jay ordered for both of youânot to control, but to expedite. The sooner pleasantries were addressed, the sooner he could present his case.
Once the preliminary course was served and privacy assured, Jay leaned forward slightly.
"Before I explain, I want to establish context," he began. "My family situation is... complicated. As the heir to Park Industries, certain expectations exist regarding my personal life."
You nodded, waiting for him to continue.
"Among these is the expectation that I'll marry strategically. Someone who enhances the company's position, preferably from a compatible business family."
"Arranged marriage in the 21st century?" You raised an eyebrow. "That seems archaic."
"It's framed as 'guided choice,'" Jay explained. "But the outcome is essentially predetermined. The candidates all fit a specific profile, vetted extensively by my mother."
"And you don't want that," you guessed.
"I've seen where that path leads," Jay said carefully. "It's not favorable."
"So what does this have to do with me?"
Here was the critical moment. Jay took a measured breath.
"I'm proposing an alternative arrangement. A marriage of convenience, with clearly defined parameters and mutual benefits."
Your expression froze. "Excuse me?"
"I know how this sounds," Jay said quickly. "But please hear me out before deciding."
You sat back, arms crossed. "I'm listening, but this better be good."
"What I need is someone outside my world. Someone my mother can't manipulate or compromise. Someone with no hidden corporate agenda or family ambitions." Jay held your gaze steadily. "Someone like you."
"And what exactly would I get from this arrangement, besides the obvious headache?"
"Financial security," Jay said simply. "Complete financial independence. A generous settlement that would eliminate your student loans, housing concerns, and career pressures. You'd be free to pursue your writing without worrying about making rent."
He could see the calculation happening behind your eyes. The journalist weighing an unbelievable story.
"This would be a temporary arrangement," he continued. "Two years maximum. After which we would part amicably, with your financial future secured and my family obligations satisfied."
"You're serious," you said, realization dawning.
"Completely."
"But why me? You could find countless women willing to make this deal."
"Because you don't want anything from me except what we explicitly agree to," Jay explained. "You don't care about the Park name or legacy. You have no connection to our business rivals. You're honest, independent, and most importantly, you see me as a person, not a position."
You were silent for a long moment, processing.
"What would this arrangement involve... practically speaking?"
"A legal marriage. A public relationship that appears genuine. Attendance at certain family and business functions. Cohabitation in Seoul, though with separate living spaces." Jay outlined each point precisely. "No romantic or physical obligations whatsoever."
"And after two years?"
"A quiet divorce with a generous settlement. You return to your life with complete financial freedom. I gain time to secure my position without my mother's interference."
You studied him intently. "What aren't you telling me? This seems too... calculated."
Jay hesitated. How much could he safely reveal without sounding deranged?
"My mother is pushing me toward a specific alliance that would be disastrous," he said finally. "I need to block that move decisively. Your presence provides that blockade."
"Corporate chess using marriage pieces," you murmured.
"An apt metaphor."
The waiter arrived with the main course, forcing a pause in the conversation. Jay waited patiently as you considered his proposal.
"I'd have to move to Korea," you said finally. "Learn a new language, navigate a completely foreign business world, pretend to be in love with someone I barely know."
"All significant challenges," Jay acknowledged. "Hence the substantial compensation."
"How substantial?"
He named a figure that made your eyes widen slightly.
"Plus all living expenses, travel, and a housing allowance upon our separation," he added. "Financial security for the foreseeable future."
You took a sip of wine, buying time to think. Jay remained silent, giving you space to process.
"Why should I trust you?" you asked finally. "No offense, but this sounds like the beginning of a thriller where the protagonist never returns from Seoul."
"A valid concern." Jay reached into his jacket and removed a USB drive. "This contains a draft contract outlining everything we've discussed, plus insurance clauses to protect you. Have your own lawyer review it. Make any reasonable amendments."
He placed the drive on the table between you.
"I don't expect an answer tonight," he continued. "Take time to consider. Research me, the company, the arrangement. I'll be in New York three more days."
You didn't touch the drive. "Are you always this prepared?"
"I don't propose convenient marriages on a whim," Jay said with a hint of humor. "This is a strategic decision for both of us."
"And if I say no?"
"Then we enjoy this excellent meal, I thank you for considering it, and we part as friends with an unusual story."
You finally reached for the drive, turning it in your fingers thoughtfully.
"Two years of my life," you mused. "Pretending to be someone I'm not."
"Or two years experiencing a world few ever see from the inside," Jay countered. "With material for the book you mentioned wanting to write. And afterwards, complete freedom to pursue whatever you wish."
He could see the writer in you considering the possibilities. The practical side weighing the financial security. The cautious part still suspicious of his motives.
"I'll think about it," you said finally, slipping the drive into your purse. "That's all I can promise right now."
"That's all I ask." Jay raised his glass slightly. "To unusual propositions and careful consideration."
You hesitantly clinked your glass against his. "To whatever the hell this is."
The rest of dinner passed in lighter conversation, Jay deliberately steering away from the proposal to give you mental space. As they finished dessert, he sensed you had more questions brewing.
"Just ask," he said gently. "Whatever you're thinking."
"Why marriage?" you asked bluntly. "Why not just date someone your mother doesn't approve of until this mysterious alliance threat passes?"
A perceptive question. Jay had prepared for it.
"Because dating is easily dismissed as temporary infatuation. Marriage is definitive. It removes me completely from the candidate pool and blocks the specific alliance my mother is orchestrating."
You nodded slowly. "And there's really no romantic component to this? No hidden agenda where you're hoping for more?"
"None whatsoever," Jay assured you. "This is a business arrangement with clearly defined boundaries. Any personal friendship that develops would be separate from our agreement."
Outside the restaurant, you paused before parting ways.
"This is insane," you said, shaking your head slightly. "Completely insane."
"From a conventional perspective, yes," Jay agreed. "But sometimes unconventional solutions are necessary for unusual problems."
"I'll call you," you said. "After I've thought about it. And possibly had my head examined."
Jay smiled. "I look forward to hearing from you, whatever your decision."
As you walked away, Jay allowed himself a moment of cautious optimism. You hadn't immediately rejected the idea. You'd taken the contract. You were considering it.
Phase two: initiated.
The path to avoiding his destruction was unconventional, certainly. But with each step, each calculated move, he was redrawing the map of his future.
And for the first time since waking up five years in his past, Jay felt something akin to hope.
-
"He asked you to what?"
Priya's voice carried across the café, drawing glances from nearby tables. You winced, motioning for her to lower her volume. Two days had passed since Jay's proposal, and you'd finally broken down and called Priya. Some things were too bizarre to process alone.
"Keep it down," you hissed. "I haven't decided anything."
"Sorry," Priya whispered dramatically, leaning across the table. "But you can't drop 'Korean billionaire wants me as his contract wife' and expect normal volume control."
You stirred your coffee absently. The USB drive sat heavy in your bag, untouched since the dinner. Every time you considered plugging it in, reality reasserted itself. People didn't just get propositioned for fake marriages by corporate heirs. Not in real life.
"Maybe I imagined it," you said. "Stress-induced hallucination."
"Honey, you don't hallucinate trust fund provisions and prenuptial terms." Priya tapped the table emphatically. "And Park Industries is the real deal. My cousin works in finance and says they're basically royalty in Korea."
You sighed, glancing at your phone. Three missed calls from your editor about a deadline. Two emails from your landlord about the rent increase. A notification about your student loan payment.
Normal life, insistently demanding attention while some alternate universe beckoned from a USB drive.
"What would you do?" you asked.
Priya considered this, stirring her chai thoughtfully. "I'd wonder why me. Of all the women in New Yorkâhell, in the worldâwhy pick someone he met at my mediocre exhibition?"
"He said I don't want anything from him. That I see him as a person, not a position." You shrugged. "And apparently I'm not connected to any rival companies."
"That's... oddly specific." Priya frowned. "Like he's running from something."
A memory flashedâJay on the rooftop garden, talking about redrawing sections of his path. The wistfulness in his voice when he mentioned roles becoming cages.
"Maybe he is," you murmured.
"Look, Y/N, this is either the strangest fantasy or the most interesting opportunity of your life." Priya grabbed your hand. "But either way, you should at least read the contract. Writer curiosity, if nothing else."
You nodded slowly. She was right. Whatever this wasâelaborate joke, midlife crisis, legitimate offerâyou couldn't make a decision without information.
"What about Seoul?" you asked, voicing one of the hundred practical concerns cycling through your mind. "My life is here."
"Your life is a studio apartment with questionable plumbing and editor who underpays you," Priya said bluntly. "Seoul has universal healthcare and a subway system that actually works."
"And a language I don't speak."
"And a completely fresh start, financial security, and material for that book you've been talking about writing since college." Priya squeezed your hand. "I'm not saying do it. I'm saying don't dismiss it without considering the insane possibility that this fever dream might actually be real."
Your phone pingedâa text from Jay:
No pressure on your decision. But if you'd like to discuss further, I'll be at the same restaurant tonight at 8. Whether you come or not, I enjoyed our time together.
Priya peered at the message. "Polite. Not pushy. Gives you space." She raised an eyebrow. "For a corporate shark offering a fake marriage, he's surprisingly... decent?"
"That's what makes this so confusing," you admitted. "He seems genuine, even when discussing something completely manufactured."
"Maybe that's why he thinks you'd be good at this. You're both honest about the dishonesty." Priya sat back. "So, are you going tonight?"
You stared at your phone, the mundane world of deadlines and bills momentarily suspended as you considered stepping further into whatever alternate reality Jay Park occupied.
"I guess I'll start by reading the contract," you said finally.
Priya grinned. "That's my practical journalist. Verify, then trust."
"I didn't say I trust him," you protested.
"Honey, you wouldn't have called me if you weren't already halfway to saying yes."
You opened your mouth to argue, then closed it again. She wasn't entirely wrong.
Whatever this wasâfever dream or opportunityâyou couldn't shake the feeling that Jay Park had seen something in you that even you hadn't recognized. Something valuable enough to upend both your worlds.
And despite every rational objection, part of you wanted to find out what it was.
-
After accepting Jay's proposal, everything moved quickly, but not without moments that made you question the purely contractual nature of your arrangement.
The first time you caught yourself actually looking at Jayânot as your contractual fiancĂ© but as a manâwas during a video call about logistics. He'd just finished a workout, answering your call in a fitted t-shirt damp with sweat, hair disheveled in a way you'd never seen before.
"Sorry for my appearance," he'd said, seemingly unaware of how the thin fabric clung to his chest and shoulders, revealing a physique usually hidden beneath perfect tailoring.
"It's fine," you'd replied, fighting to keep your eyes on his face rather than the defined muscles visible through his shirt. "We were just discussing flight details, right?"
You'd blamed your distraction on the strangeness of the situation. Just a natural reaction to an objectively attractive man. Nothing more.
-
Your Korean lessons began three weeks after you'd accepted his proposal. The language was challenging, but Jay insisted on joining occasionally, his pronunciation impeccable as he demonstrated sounds your English-trained mouth struggled to form.
"Fuck," you muttered one evening, dropping your head to the table after another failed attempt at a particularly difficult honorific. "I'm never going to get this right."
Jay looked up from his laptop, eyebrows raised. "I've never heard you swear before."
"I'm usually more professional," you admitted. "But this language is kicking my ass."
He closed his computer and moved to the chair beside you. "Try again. It's all in the tongue placement."
You made another attempt, mangling the syllables spectacularly.
"No, like this." Jay demonstrated slowly, exaggerating the mouth movement. You found yourself staring at his lips, noticing their perfect shape, the way the bottom one was slightly fuller than the top.
After your third failure, he sighed. "May I?" he asked, gesturing toward your face.
You nodded, not entirely sure what he was asking permission for.
He reached out, placing his thumb gently against your lower lip. "You need to press your tongue here, behind your teeth, not against your palate."
Heat surged through you at the unexpected contact. His thumb lingered, moving slightly against your lip as he demonstrated the position. Your eyes locked, and something shifted in his expression.
"Try again," he said softly, his voice lower than before.
You attempted the word, hyperaware of his fingers still resting lightly against your jaw.
"Better," he murmured, his eyes dropping to your mouth. "Almost there."
The air between you thickened. His hand should have moved away by now. It hadn't.
"Jay," you said, barely audible. Not a question, just an acknowledgment of whatever was happening.
For a moment, you thought he might lean in. Instead, he blinked and withdrew his hand, clearing his throat.
"That's enough for today," he said briskly, returning to his original seat. "You're making progress."
But that night, alone in your room, you caught yourself touching your own lip where his thumb had been, replaying the moment when his professional demeanor had briefly cracked.
-
Three weeks in, during dinner at a restaurant in Tribeca, Jay brought up the public aspects of your arrangement.
"We need to discuss how we'll appear as a couple," he said, his tone practical but not cold. "Physical boundaries. Forms of address."
"Like pet names?" you asked, taking a sip of wine.
"Exactly." He seemed relieved you understood. "In Korea, especially in my position, excessive public displays would seem inappropriate. But certain... intimacies are expected between engaged couples."
"So hand-holding, yes. Making out in boardrooms, no." Your joke earned a genuine smile from him.
"Precisely." He hesitated, then added with uncharacteristic uncertainty, "And regarding names..."
"What do people usually call you? Besides Jay or Mr. Park?"
His expression shifted subtly. "My mother calls me Jongseong. Business associates use Mr. Park. No one has ever used anything... affectionate."
The admission felt strangely vulnerable coming from him.
"What would you be comfortable with?" you asked.
His eyes met yours directly. "I've always thought 'babe' or 'baby' seemed... nice. Natural." The words seemed difficult for him to say, as if admitting to a secret preference. "But only if it feels comfortable for you."
The request surprised you â this controlled, strategic man wanting something so ordinary, so human.
"I can try that," you said, watching as relief softened his features. "Might take practice to say it without feeling weird, though."
"We have time to practice," he replied, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.
-
Shopping for your new wardrobe didn't happen in a fairy tale montage. Instead, it involved practical discussions of events you'd attend, climate considerations, and cultural norms.
"These social signifiers matter to my family," Jay explained as you examined a designer dress that cost more than your rent. "But your comfort matters to me."
"To our arrangement," you corrected gently.
He paused, meeting your eyes. "Yes. And to me personally."
The statement hung between you, neither acknowledged nor dismissed as you continued through the high-end boutique. The personal shopper brought Jay a selection of suits to try as well, and despite your best intentions, you found yourself watching as he emerged from the fitting room in each new outfit.
The last oneâa charcoal gray suit cut to perfectionâmade you momentarily forget the contract entirely. The tailor knelt, making adjustments to the trousers while Jay stood in front of a three-way mirror. The jacket emphasized the breadth of his shoulders, the tailored pants fitting perfectly across his ass.
You didn't realize you were staring until Jay's eyes met yours in the mirror, one eyebrow raising slightly. You quickly looked away, heat rising to your cheeks at being caught.
When you glanced back, the corner of his mouth had lifted in a small, satisfied smile.
-
Your parents were understandably shocked by the engagement announcement. The video call with them and Jay could have been disastrous, but he navigated it with surprising warmth.
"I understand this seems sudden," he told them, his formal demeanor softened. "I value your daughter's independence and perspective. Those qualities are rare in my world."
Later, alone, your mother had texted: "He's careful with his words around you. Watches how you react. Not sure if that's good or concerning."
"Still deciding," you'd replied honestly.
Six weeks after your agreement, you found yourself helping Jay pack for Seoul in his hotel suite, the reality of what you'd committed to finally sinking in.
"Second thoughts?" he asked, noticing your silence.
"Seventh or eighth, at least," you admitted.
You expected a strategic reassurance. Instead, he sat beside you on the edge of the bed, not touching but close.
"I have them too," he said quietly. "This arrangement... it's unusual for both of us."
"You seem so certain about everything."
"I'm certain about what I'm avoiding," he clarified. "Less certain about what we're building."
The honesty was refreshing. Not romance, but genuine transparency.
"Let's try something," you suggested. "Just to see how it feels."
He raised an eyebrow, waiting.
You cleared your throat, feeling slightly ridiculous. "Could you pass me that folder... babe?"
The pet name hung awkwardly between you. Jay blinked, then a small, genuine smile formed.
"Here you go," he replied, handing you the folder, then hesitating before adding a tentative, "...babe."
You both laughed at the strangeness of it, the tension breaking.
"That was terrible," you admitted.
"Catastrophic," he agreed, his eyes crinkling with genuine amusement. "But it will get easier."
It was the first time you'd seen him truly laugh. Something shifted subtly between you â not love or even attraction necessarily, but the foundation of something human and real beneath the contractual arrangement.
Eight weeks after the proposal, you boarded his family's private jet bound for Seoul.
As the plane leveled off, Jay handed you a thin folder. "Key family members and dynamics. Not a test, just preparation."
You nodded, grateful for his understanding that you wanted to succeed at this, whatever "this" was becoming.
"Thank you," you said. Then, after a moment's hesitation, added, "...baby."
It still felt strange, but less forced. Jay's expression softened in response.
"You're welcome," he replied, his voice warm in a way it hadn't been during those first calculated conversations weeks ago.
Neither of you were in love. That wasn't part of the contract. But as the plane carried you toward Seoul, there was a growing sense that whatever performance awaited might be built on something more substantial than just legal terms.
Not romance, not yet. But a partnership forming its own unique shape â part strategy, part genuine connection, and all uncharted territory.
-
Arriving in Seoul felt like stepping into another dimension. A fleet of black SUVs with tinted windows. Security personnel with earpieces. Photographers kept at a careful distance by a team of efficient PR staff.
"Ready?" Jay asked quietly, his hand finding yours as the plane door opened.
You nodded, though "ready" seemed an absurd concept for what awaited.
The moment you stepped onto Korean soil, Jay transformedâhis posture impeccable, his smile exactly the right blend of pride and discretion. His arm slid around your waist, protective but not possessive.
"Perfect," he murmured, his lips close to your ear. "Just like that."
The performance had begun.
to be continued.

demily I'd normally vote for lesbians but good omens is one of my favourite shows of all time, so please sell me on suletta x miorine before I choose the old men situationship
Okay then here we go *cracks knuckles*
So there's this daughter of the CEO of a giant tech corp, Miorine, who wants to escape from her private school because her dad intends to make her marry whoever is the best at Giant Robot Fights.
She meets this random country girl, Suletta, who just started attending the school. Suletta inadvertently is the best at Giant Robot Fights because she has a crazy good robot, making her Miorine's fiance, and Miorine suddenly decides "hang on this might not be so bad."

Suletta was not aware that being gay was an option, but once she realizes that's on the table, she instantly becomes head over heels for Miorine.
They repeatedly refer to themselves as being bride and groom, and their relationship's importance is constantly recognized and affirmed by the people around them. Their relationship is central to the plot.

A lot of stuff happens, but some highlights:
Miorine sees Suletta being targeted by the corporations, and she decides to use her knowledge of the corporate world to start her own company so she can protect Suletta. This is a significant moment because it goes against her earlier wishes to escape the corporate world; protecting Suletta is more important to her. When asked why she did this, she calls herself Suletta's bride.

Suletta constantly talks about having a wedding with Miorine

Suletta tries to kill a guy for getting between her and Miorine (as she should)

Miorine makes Suletta promise to stay with her forever, and text her three times a day. Suletta does this dutifully. (Needy x Indulgent is such a cute dynamic)

Miorine tries to push Suletta away for her own protection. This backfires. Suletta forgives and comforts her.

Miorine tells Suletta's mom that they should get along since they're going to be family (power move)

They are featured together in the intro and ending of every episode.
They get married at the end of the series, and wear rings in the ending. Suletta becomes a school teacher, and Miorine uses her successful company to support her.

Gundam Witch is a love story. Suletta and Miorine are canon and they are married. It's an incredibly significant relationship because gay marriage isn't even legal in Japan, but it's treated as normal in the show. They are so important to me. Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Yuri will save the world, goodbye

â đđ ËâĄ. â SATORU GOJO. a woman in uniform.
about. satoru letâs you try his uniform on in the bedroom and loses his fucking mind. not even the strongest sorcerer can resist a woman in uniform.
warnings. minors, blank and ageless blogs do not interact ! nsfw, smut, power play, pussy jobs, oral sex ( m!receiving ), clothed sex, blind folds, some slight sub/dom dynamics, fem!reader. i wrote this with my clit tbh.
i think that gojo goes feral for you wearing his uniform. the whole get up, the blind fold and the jujutsu tech jacket. heâll try to fight it, the feeling of power slipping away, as you crawl up the bed and between his thighs â your tongue dragging over your lips.
âoh, you shakinâ satoru?â he can see the excitement dancing around in your eyes even through the fabric covering them. he can sense the flare in your energy as you loom over him, ranking your nails down creamy washboard abs while his infinity fizzles away. âpoor you. itâs not fun to be on the receiving end, is it?â
if satoru really wanted to, he would flip the situation in an instant â have you pinned to the bed with your clothes askew and your mouth hanging open in breathy whines as you beg for him to touch you. but he doesnât. he canât. you have so much power over him when youâre dressed like that and you act like youâre the strongest one in the room. you both know that he has the power to end your free rein over his body.
he is the strongest after all.
your mouth is quick to follow your nails, teeth and tongue trailing a wet path from gojoâs prominent collar bones, between his firm pecs and down his tense stomach. you suck hickies into the bone of his slender hips, shades of mauve and navy-ish blue blooming against pale skin like adding water colours to a blank canvas. satoru inhales sharply, losing control of his invisible barrier just so he can savour the feeling of you ravishing his body with nips and sucks and kisses.
you havenât even gotten to the good part yet.
âlift your hips, satoru, let me see what youâve got under all this,â you coo sweetly and itâs as if youâre drizzling honey in his ears. the white haired man follows your command like itâs the law, instinctively bucking up and away from the bed so you can pull down his boxers. âhow sweet, youâre so hard.â satoruâs cock springs free from its restraints, sticky and bright red at the tip, pulsing and thick at the shaft. when you touch him and take hold of his length in your tiny hand, kitten licking the entirety of him while you look up at him hungrily through your blindfold⊠the man is sure he might die. you could kill him like this, with his infinity downâŠand youâre fully aware of it.
teasingly, you ease his cockhead past the seam of your kiss swollen lips and let it nudge the soft epithelium on the inside of your cheek â lubing him up, getting him ready for more of your torture. âshould i suck you off? or should i ride you?â you manage, even though your mouth is full of dickâŠthe next, your nose is buried in a trail of soft white pubic hair.
âdonât do that⊠pleaseâŠâ satoru whines, chest flushed and heaving, brilliant blue eyes boring deep into your soïżŒul. his fists form balls at the sides of his shaky legs, he could reach out and touch you â coax you into giving him more. itâs not like he has any restraints onâŠexcept for the metaphorical ones of your will and your control. you let go of him with a lewd pop, a trail of your saliva mixed with milky precum tying you to his sensitive erection. âf-fuckâŠâ
cocking your head to the side, you use a soiled thumb and forefinger to lift the black hand over one of your dangerously pretty and mirth-filled eyes. âdo what?â you respond with an inquisitive purr, licking your lips and moaning at the taste of the six eyes on them.
âs-shit,â satoru curses, blood curdling and boiling hot lust spreading through all four of his limbs at the sight. âdonât act like you donât know what youâre doing to meâŠdonât act like you donât know how feral i am for youâŠâ saliva pools on the pallets of his tongue, slipping in between the sorcererâs words as you move like a vixen in the woods above him â sliding yourself into gojoâs lap to position yourself perfectly above his aching cock. âdonâtââ
gojo chokes on a moan as you begin circling your hips, plush and puffy pussy lips sucking in the length of his cock whilst it lays flat against his tummy. if he focuses his mind enough, pushes through the dark veil of lust youâve pulled over his mind that works in overdrive, he can just about see his bulbous, leaky tip peeking out from underneath the folds of his dark uniform â the uniform thatâs draped so perfectly over the curve of your mouth-watering body. a deep groan anchors itself in gojoâs chest like the roots of a sturdy oak tree and his hands leap up from the bedsheets to grip your peachy ass barely hidden by his clothes.
âdonât this, donât that,â you hum condescendingly, as you alternate the movement of your hips â dragging them back and forth, back and forth over your loverâs pathetically wet dick. you make sure to clench your slick hole every time it meets his tip, glazing him in a small stream of your arousal. âdonât you know how to shut up ân take it, satoru?â
the dominance in your voice has the white haired man in shambles, twitching beneath the weight of your body on his. for christs sake, heâs the strongest, he brings curses and sorcerer alike to their knees just by mention of his name. so why is he so weakened by the sight of you above him? by the sight of you in his clothes, grinding sloppily on his wet cock? gojo doesnât want infinity projecting him, not when he occasionally slips inside of your welcoming, tight cunt when you thrust yourself down on him.
âg-godâŠbaby, please!â he hiccups, fighting the urge to force you down onto him fully â bully his way into your squishy insides. satoru could do anything he wanted to you, in a single moment he could have you sniffling against the sheets and crying as much as your cunt doesâŠbut the way you rein him in just by wearing his clothes stops him.
âwhatâs the matter, handsome? you cryinâ?â
at your teasing, the cream that oozes from his sensitive tip paints your clit adds to your gathering arousal as it soaks through satoruâs uniform. nastily, he doesnât think heâll wash it, he wants the memories of tonight to stay with him forever. he wants to remember how you took over him and took his every capability in using his power â reducing the satoru gojo to a pussy drunk fool.
the scent of your sex is the only way he can think to immortalise this moment.
âi can⊠i can take it. give it tâme, want everythinâ youâve got,â satoru simpers eagerly over the lewd, sticky pap, pap, pap of your sexes meeting in a salacious bump and grind. he has no idea where to look â intimidated by the control that oozes off of you, the control that he gives you. if he stares at your bouncing breasts beneath his jujutsu tech jacket or your clenching cunt for too long, he might just bust all over you and his inform before he even has the chance to be inside of you.
light laughter escapes you at gojoâs babyish bleats and whimpers â so you lift the blindfold once more, lips spreading into a slow and sexy smirk, much like the kind he would tease you with. âi donât think you can handle my everything, baby.â
and youâd be right. not even the strongest sorcerer in japan could handle his woman in his uniform.
