Nikola Stojanovic is a Serbian astrologer known for sharing his theory that each degree of the zodiac circle corresponds to the zodiac signs. @bratz-kitten has the best post on overall correspondents and specific degrees that Stojanovic focused on, and I used said post to apply the theory to my chart. i also used forensicastrolger’s post on their site because i felt it added even more information.
this intepretation is obviously specific to my chart, but if you have similar placements you may find it helpful. you might also find it helpful if you want an idea of how to start applying this theory to your chart. i hope you all find this helpful!
Tumblr media
Leo Ascendant at 11°
Tumblr media
the first house correlates to our appearance, first impressions, and our natural tendencies/disposition. with my ascendant in leo, my hair is a very noticable part of me. people may view me as a confident person who is a natural leader. i’m likely easily recognizable and have influence over others due to my charisma and prestige/high status.
the eleventh degree is an aquarius degree. according to nikola, this degree is connected to suicide. others say it’s connected to divorce. in my opinion, these two subjects connect in that appearances don’t match what’s under the surface. this is only heightened as this degree is on my ascendant, which directly correlates to literal appearances. aquarian degrees also have ties to technology, innovation, networking, intelligence, and humanitarianism.
to me, this manifests in my chart in that fact that i have a hard time connecting my own view of myself to the view others have of me. what i project does not match what’s inside - or at least, i don’t feel that it does. this probably also manifests in the greatness/potential others see in me that i also have a hard time seeing in myself. this might lastly manifest in a “suicide” of my reputation where i ruin people’s expectations of me because i cause my own downfall.
Tumblr media
3H Scorpio Moon at 2°
Tumblr media
the third house relates to the mind, communication/language, and people we find roots with before our mother (ie. siblings). the moon details our inner bearings - our emotions and instinctual desires and actions. it’s important to note the moon is in its fall in scorpio, meaning the planet is uncomfortable and debilitated in its bearings. with that said, my scorpio moon makes for an intense placement. i tend to be overly introspective to the point of isolation when it comes to my thoughts, as they’re often intense. when going through internal turmoil, i often look to drastic transformative actions in order to feel more in control.
the second degree is a taurean one. nikola believed this degree was linked to high achievements and greatness - often in the public eye. taurean degrees can also be indicators of luxury, stability, and one’s voice.
i feel this degree and planet placement seem to go against one another. my emotions are almost inherently blocked from the public due to the scorpio influence, but the second degree makes for a situation where my emotions are likely to be exposed to the general public in a large way. with the connection to one’s voice, i feel this manifests in my chart in that i have a way of achieving greatness as a result of my emotions in the way i communicate them. oftentimes, it’s hard for me to express my emotions verbally, but i have a way with displaying them in my writings and other art forms. i may be able to gain greatness, attention, and luxury because of the way i learn to express my emotions to the collective.
Tumblr media
5H Sagittarius Mercury at 22°
Tumblr media
the fifth house corresponds to life’s pleasures - artistic talents, entertainment, romance, and the inclination and want to be in the spotlight. mercury handles communication, education, and short travels. my sagittarius placement enables me to have a way with words, as explained when talking about my moon sign. i am able to entertain and educate others in a way that is mesmerizing and engaging but also friendly and relatable rather than condescending and confusing. my ideas and words tend to be more all-encompassing and abstract but well thought out, so people feel drawn to it.
the twenty-second degree is connected to capricorn. nikola proposed this degree to be one that indicates one who is “to kill or be killed”. he explains this in a literal sense, but it doesn’t have to entail actual murder. i personally believe the twenty-second degree operates similarly to leo degrees in that one is likely to gain recognition due to the capricorn influence (capricorn rules over the tenth house, which deals with fame, public recognition, legacy, etc.). i also believe it has more karmic ties due to its closeness to the twenty-ninth degree. in my opinion, the twenty-second degree could indicate an area of life where can gain and/or lose a ton. it could indicate a possible fall from grace.
looking at this placement along with my scorpio moon interpretation leads me to believe my words and writings could be my biggest advantage and my biggest downfall. i could gain public recognition as result of my words (ie. writing a book or music), but if i were to go into the deep end a lose myself by becoming too arrogant or forgetting my original reasonings for sharing my words i could leave a smeared legacy. this could technically be seen in what i do on this platform! i share my ideas and such relating to astro content and have gained many people’s trust, but that trust can easily be lost if i’m rude, don’t keep my word, or (going back to the leo interpretation) mar the image people have of me.
Tumblr media
5H Sagittarius Pluto at 15°
Tumblr media
pluto rules over transformations, death & rebirth, power, sexuality, and mystery. this planet is generational, and i was born while it was in sagittarius (1995 - 2008). with this placement in my fifth house, i experience and understand Pluto’s traits best within a creative arena. my power lies within my creative abilities (and is enhanced due to my fifth house and sagittarius stellium). for others, discovering the hidden parts of me is like a cat-and-mouse chase that they often enjoy. personally, i explore the hidden parts of me utilizing the art of creation.
the fifteenth degree is associated with gemini. nikola asserts it as an “assination” or “kill”/murder degree, and says that it could indicate accidental death if in the sign of gemini. gemini degrees are also associated with double happenings and geometric patterns. 
the concept of a degree associated with “assisination”, murder, and/or accidental death connected to a pluto placement makes me believe the effects of pluto are heightened in my life - and this is even more so true as the planet conjuncts both my sun (representing my ego, my core beliefs and ideals; essentially who i am) and my venus (what i love and attach myself to; what draws me in).
in one way, this degree and the aspects i have to the planet could be one explanation as to why the concepts of death and rebirth have always been a focal point in my life. where the fifteenth degree is associated with accidental deaths in gemini, one could argue it means intentional deaths in the sign of sagittarius since the two are sister signs. taking this argument into account and remembering the association of patterns with the degree makes me believe that my encounters with death and are intentional in order to aid in my growth and ultimate transformation. the concept of rebirth is one that i am to become comfortable with because it’s important to my being and goals (see sun-pluto aspect). 
this also goes back to my interpretation of my mercury degree with the concept of killing coming back. i also think this, again, plays into the aspect of me having a bigger purpose that could connect to public recognition - so much so that the recognition is generational. this reminds me of the idea of someone completely tearing themselves down and almost re-creating themselves in order to become their best person - not only for themselves but also for the collective. in all, it makes me believe i need to be willing to tear down my ego and wants in order to become more.
Tumblr media
5H Sagittarius Chiron at 29°
Tumblr media
chiron represents one’s deepest wounds - the traumas from childhood that leave deep impressions on someone for long period of time. my fifth house placement makes for an even closer emphasis on the wounds’ impact and presence on my childhood. this in combination with the sagittarius placement means i have long term wound relating to self-expression. with my fifth house stellium, i have a need to be creative and unique in my thoughts and actions, but early life experiences lead to self-doubt and possible repression.
the twenty-ninth degree is an indicator of clairvoyance and strong intuition. nikola proposed that those with placements in the twenty-ninth degree could predict the future; he also had this degree in his own chart. it should also be noted the twenty-ninth degree is a leo degree, which deals with attention, fame, expression, and creativity. this degree could indicate the person has a knowing feeling of future success.
in astrology, it’s naturally assumed that chiron is meant to be healed. with this, the degree of the asteroid could explain the severity of the wound. the fact that chiron is connected to my fifth house sagittarius stellium (which includes my sun sign) could explain why i often feel confused about whether or not fifth house activities like singing, performing, writing, etc. are really for me. it also explains why i doubt the beauty of the art i create.
additionally, the twenty-ninth degree could further indicate that my future is linked to fame and attention. it could also mean that i am already aware of the fame present in my future. so, despite my current doubting of my art and my hobbies, my deeper conscious is likely aware of the true final outcome.
Tumblr media
1H Leo Juno at 29°
Tumblr media
juno is an asteroid connected to the roman goddess that rules over marriage and family and who is also known as the protector of women. this roman goddess is also known as hera in greek beliefs. hera is also connected to the former topics of juno, but is also known for her fierce love for her husband - zeus. her love for zeus was so prominent that even when he would cheat on her, hera would instead punish and blame the mistresses rather than zeus himself. with that, asteroid juno is known to be connected to marriage and represents what one often looks for in a long-term significant other.
with this sign in leo and the first house, i desire someone who is fiercely protective and loyal. i may prefer being by the person often and may even engage in PDA. this placement also gives me trophy wife/husband vibes. there’s a want to be shown off and doted on. the first house placement makes me think of love at first sight. regardless, there is a want for love to be grand and immediate yet long lasting.
as stated before, the twenty-ninth degree is associated with both psychic abilities and leo traits including fame, attention, expression, and fun. i also mentioned a knowing feeling of success.
with this clairvoyance aspect present, i propose that juno in the twenty-ninth degree could be an indicator of a soulmate and/or twin flame connection, and this is likely intensified with the first house placement. this could tell of a love from a past life or a love that even those beyond this life know about. this could be a love where my future spouse and i already know about one another before meeting; it could even mean that we’re able to speak to one another without being together. this would explain why sometimes i feel as if i learn small bits of information about then through my dreams.
the leo traits could mean that i gain fame, success, or public recognition from my long term significant other. the leo and first house placements could also mean that i’m likely to learn more about myself due my future spouse. i might open up more and become more confident in myself due to their presence.

THE EARTH SIGNS – TAURUS, VIRGO AND CAPRICORN
Tumblr media
(Please Note, The Personality Profiles Below, and attached, are Based on the Archetypal Zodiac Types for Tarot Reading Purposes. Most People have a mix of several Zodiac Signs based on Their Astrological Birth Chart and are not solely one Sign.)
      Ruled by the Planets Venus, Mercury and Saturn the Earth Signs are the most down to earth Signs of the Zodiac. They are practical, hard-working, methodical, reliable, determined and renowned for their stability.  They are lovers of nature, animals, and are strong environmentalists.  Earth is the domain of the material world, and those governed by it will want to enjoy all that it yields, especially money, and all the benefits that come with having plenty of it.   Without the Earth Signs around, nothing would get finished, built, produced or maintained. Fine detail would be overlooked and quality under-valued. The Earth SIgns are renowned for their love of luxury, music and art even if they are sometimes seen by others as dull and serious.
Taurus – Warm, loving, sensuous and good-looking. They are hard workers, extremely committed to whatever they do and to their family. They like the good things that money can buy.  Luxury, comfort, good food and wine are a must. They are nature and animal lovers. They have a tendency to be possessive, and sometimes overly so.
Virgo – Critical, analytical, intelligent and prudish. They are excellent at expressing themselves and communicating their needs. They have a tendency to be cleanaholics and overly fussy. Highly critical of all around them, they can readily turn this trait in on themselves too. They are often their own worst critics and can have a very low opinion of themselves.
Capricorn – ambitious, determined, single-minded and materialistic. They are committed to their partners, but may appear more married to their career. Family often gets neglected in favour of work. They take little time out for fun and are extremely cautious where money is concerned. They are driven by the need for financial security.
The Four Earth Signs in the Tarot are represented by The Pentacles, except for Virgo which is represented by the Queen of Swords:
Taurus – The King of Pentacles, Four of Pentacles
Virgo – The Queen of Swords(could be represented by any other Court Card if the profile description fits), The Hermit
Capricorn – The Knight of Pentacles, The Devil
The Queen of Pentacles although not listed above for the three Earth Signs, can represent any of the Earth Signs, although is typically associated with Libra.  The Page of Pentacles can represent any of the Earth Signs too but if the person is over the age of 22 years, they are bound to be showing signs of immaturity. They may also be feeling young at heart.  The Page can also be a representation of their childhood.
Remember that these are just guidelines and the Pentacle Court Cards can represent any of the other 12 Zodiac Signs, but the person represented will definitely be displaying personality traits or aspects of the Earth Element.  Once the profile fits, regardless of the person being a Gemini or an Arien, they will obviously have a lot of Earth in their personality make-up.  This display of Earth may be transient or fixed.
TAURUS –  THE BULL
Tumblr media
APRIL 21ST  – MAY 21ST
(Please Note, The Personality Profile Below is Based on the Archetypal Taurus for Tarot Reading Purposes. Most People have a mix of several Zodiac Signs based on Their Astrological Birth Chart and are not solely one Sign.)
Ruling Planet – Venus
Duality or Gender – Feminine
Triplicity or Element – Earth
Quadruplicity or Quality – Fixed
Body Areas – Neck, throat and thyroid gland
Stone – Emerald
Colours – Pale blue, green or pink
Tarot Correspondences – Heirophant, King of Pentacles, Knight or Four of Pentacles
Taureans have an obsession with having things, not just any things, but rather expensive and luxurious things. They are born with a need to own and possess. This need to own and possess sometimes includes people.  They also have a deep desire for stability and security, both physically and financially, and will go to unbelievable lengths to secure it.  For the Taurean, security generally means financial security and once they have plenty of money, they generally feel happy and balanced. They will however, work very hard for what they earn. Generally the Taurean will set out a well thought out, long-term career and life plan when quite young. They will slowly and methodically, work their way towards it, keeping their goal firmly in sight and their focus un-wavered.
Taureans love to surround themselves with all the wonderful things money can buy, as this makes them feel safe and secure. However, there will be no squandering of money. Taureans do have a reputation for holding onto money and looking after it well, be it in investments, secure long-established savings plans or pensions. They will certainly have planned well for their future and will not be caught without a substantial life assurance, pension plan and medical insurance cover. They are natural house-keepers and are born with a budget they stick rigidly too.
Some may view the Taurean as being overly materialistic, but it is just their way of feeling safe and secure. Remember, they are prepared to put in the hard work and effort that is required to establish financial security. They rarely look for hand-outs from friends or family as they like to rely on their own resources.
Taureans are extremely reliable and dependable. Then will turn up when they say they will, and if they say they will do something for you, you don’t have to have any doubts as to it getting done.  Diligent, methodical and thorough, they will spend as long as it takes to complete the task. In fact, it’s often those tedious long drawn out tasks that are gladly handed over to Taureans by their fellow Zodiac Signs, who find them dreadfully boring to deal with. Taureans  however, can play things too safe, and generally want a guarantee of a particular outcome before they venture into it. Anything that has a risk element attached to it will be avoided at all costs. As a rule, Taureans don’t like taking any sort of risk or gamble. This trait although admirable, may find them getting set in their ways and very stubborn.  Creatures of habit and rituals, they are not fans of spontaneity. They may miss out on some wonderful opportunities as a result.
Taureans are loyal to their friends and can be very charming. They are also renowned as being the most beautiful Sign in the Zodiac.  They are often good-looking and have great bodies. They do however, love good food and good wine so need to work hard to maintain their weight. It can easily pile on when the Taurean is looking the other way. However, they tend to have a healthy respect for what they put into their bodies, and being a strong Earthy Sign, enjoy vegetables, fruit and organic foods.
LOVE
Taurus is ruled by sensual and loving Venus, so when it comes to affairs of the heart they can be extremely romantic, and with their natural charm and good looks, will never be short of admirers. When they do get attached, they have no problem parting with some of their hoarded cash on expensive dining out, holidays in luxury hotels and extravagant presents. When it comes to love, Taureans really do not have a problem spending.
Their strong sensuality will make them excellent lovers, as well as being caring and considerate. However, once a relationship has been established it can turn sour very fast if possessiveness is allowed in the door. You see Taureans will consider their partner to be one of their possessions or belongings. He is my man, she is my woman for example.  They can watch their partner closely and won’t take too well to other men/women stopping to have a casual chat with their partner. So much more will be read into it, and dark clouds can rapidly appear. Generally peace-loving and slow to anger, the ‘bull in the china shop’ can appear if pushed too far. Thunderous rows and accusations can follow.
When their partner announces or hints at the fact that they are unhappy, the Taurean will often be confused.  They can place possessions ahead of people.  As a result,  they can believe they are fulfilling their role as a caring partner by providing a luxurious home and all the trappings that go with it. Their things, make them happy, but they may not understand why the same is not true for their partner. Being their true old stubborn self,  they may be reluctant to address problems within the relationship.
FAMILY AND PARENTING
When Taureans do eventually settle down it will be with a partner who shares their appreciation of the good things in life. The settled Taurean enjoys the comfort and emotional stability of family life, and all the routine and traditions that go with it. However, the Taurean preoccupation with making money can have them working 24/7 which will leave them precious little time for family. They generally don’t understand why the family may not be happy with this set up. This is because they generally do not view their work as a necessary evil that has to be got out-of-the-way so that bills can get paid. They rather enjoy being in work. They are not clock watchers so hours can disappear quite quickly while they are beavering away.
The Taurean parent will shower their partner and kids with the best of everything. Their house will be amazing and beautifully decorated. Even the animals, which are so beloved by Taureans will live in the lap of luxury. The Taurean parent must remember that money is not everything, and certainly cannot buy happiness. Their natural tendency of playing it safe can overspill into their children’s upbringing  by keep their kids on a short leash.
Taureans do love the outdoors and will expect their kids to get plenty of fresh air, but will steer them well clear of any activities that may be risk related. They have to remember that not all their children will share their cautious nature. They must let them get on with life in their own way every now and then. This advice also applies to their partner who may have problems with their Taurean being so sensible and predictable all the time.  Not everyone likes to play it safe, well not all the time anyway, so the Taurean will have to learn to deal with these occasions as they arise.
CAREER
When it comes to career, Taureans are the committed plodders who work carefully and relentlessly. They have a very firm and fixed idea of what they want to be or do, and will work steadily towards this for as long as it takes. They know exactly what they want from life.
Taureans can can get set in their ways and be too conventional. They need a lot of motivation to change their deep-set traditional ways. This makes them excellent for working in large firms which have a well-established traditional feel to them. Their love of money will have them seeking careers in banking or accountancy where everything is methodical and detailed. Unlike a lot of the other Signs, they thrive on the routine of a 9 to 5 job that is predictable and stable. They can be found working in the same organisation from youth until retirement.
For the Taurean who decides to go into business and establish their own empire, they will have to make sure that it is  as risk free as possible, and will spend forever carefully planning the whole thing down to the last paper clip. Taureans due to their hard-working and committed nature, will be very good at running their own business. They have great patience when it comes to business and understand that millions will not be made overnight. They will take no short cuts, and will not be lured by any ‘get rich quick schemes’ that may be offered to them. They understand that it is hard work and commitment that makes for success.
Their tendency to be too conventional, traditional and especially un-adventurous could have them not moving their business forward with the times, not installing the latest up-to-date equipment or software.  They need someone working with them who will motivate them in these areas, otherwise excellent business opportunities may slip through their fingers because of the risk element involved.
Taureans generally do well working in careers involving luxury or beauty. They make excellent beauticians and make-up artists. They can be found working in designer clothes departments and anywhere where expensive, luxurious items are sold. Due to their methodical and traditional approach to work, careers such as accountancy, architecture and engineering will suit perfectly. Their love of nature and the land will find them involved in horticulture, agriculture and running well maintained farms or equestrian centres.
Taureans can appear dull and boring to many, regardless of their good looks. They may appear un-adventurous and way too conventional. However, if you do manage to get stuck sitting beside one at a dinner party you will soon find them extremely interesting and not boring at all. They often have a strong sense of humour, bordering or wicked or dark at times. They are one of the most musical of the Zodiac and make excellent musicians and singers.
HEALTH
Taureans love of good food and good wine can have them excessing in these area. If not kept in check, they can become overweight quite easily. They just love their food. Even the Taurean child will send back a well licked-clean plate from the dinner table. Predisposed to a sweet tooth, this can wreak havoc on the naturally, great Taurean body. Their extremely sensual nature makes for an expensive chocolate lover. Taureans have a tendency to a slow metabolism, which needs encouragement through exercise.  Regardless of eating healthy they can often suffer from sluggish systems and constipation.  They do love the outdoors but not necessarily power walking or running. They prefer a leisurely stroll, when they can take in their beautiful surroundings. They can walk for miles like this but it won’t do much for speeding up the metabolism. They also like horse-riding, and because of their patience and methodical approach can excel in dressage where focused concentration and skill is essential.
They are naturally good dancers, so joining a dance class would be ideal. Unlike a lot of the other signs, they won’t bore too easily at the gym and enjoy following a program with repetitive work outs. Taurus governs the neck, throat and thyroid. Taureans can be prone to imbalances of the thyroid gland, so should be on the look out for sudden weight loss or gain, as it may be connected.  Regular check-ups are advisable.  Sore throats and swollen glands are common.
THE OLDER TAUREAN
When the Taurean retires, they do love their hobbies and will often seek past-times that would bore the pants off the other Signs. Anything that is methodical or detailed can be very appealing.  Intricate jigsaws with thousands of minuscule pieces would be ideal. Because of their love of nature, Taureans will be quite happy tending to their garden or developing an organic vegetable patch. Their love of animals will have them spending considerable time with their pets; walking, grooming etc. They love their luxurious comfortable home, but will have no problem letting their cats or dogs sprawl all over the expensive couch or bedspread.
Because of their natural flair for music, joining a musical or operatic society is a strong possibility. Their love of cookery can have them  taking up cordon bleu cookery classes. Wine appreciation societies or clubs is another interesting area for them. Taureans can be good with their hands so Pottery classes or sculpting can be very rewarding. Older Taureans are also drawn to golf.
VIRGO – THE MAIDEN
Tumblr media
AUGUST 23RD – SEPTEMBER 23RD
(Please Note, The Personality Profile Below is Based on the Archetypal Virgo for Tarot Reading Purposes. Most People have a mix of several Zodiac Signs based on Their Astrological Birth Chart and are not solely one Sign.)
Ruling Planet – Mercury
Duality or Gender – Feminine
Triplicity or Element – Earth
Quadruplicity or Quality – Mutable
Body Areas – Nervous System, Stomach, Intestines. Pancreas
Stone –  Sardonyx
Colour –  Brown, dark grey, navy blue
Tarot Correspondences  – Hermit, Queen of Swords
Virgoans are traditionally associated with been introverted, analytical and critical. They have a tendency to be perfectionists; fussy about everything, and hygiene and tidy freaks. They need a healthy balance of the other Elements in their birth chart to counteract such intensity.
Virgoans are extremely intelligent but often lack confidence in themselves.  Down to earth and extremely practical, they are sticklers for detail, especially minor detail. Yes, everything needs to be just so.  This can drive those around the perfectionist Virgoan, insane. Everything is approached with caution, and the Virgoan needs to be assured that everything is in order and in place, before proceeding. This can cause unnecessary delays and may very well result in missed opportunities. They really need to loosen up a bit, and even act recklessly once in a while.
Their intense need to analyse everything spills over into every area of their life.  Anyone who spends enough time with a Virgoan will be aware of their tendency to criticise everything and everybody around them.  They can become overly argumentative when driving a point home, sometimes alienating people in the process.
Virgoans, quite happily and readily turn their critical and analytical tendencies inwards, and are often the hardest  on themselves. Being their own worst critic they will run themselves down quite easily. They set such high standards for themselves, it can be difficult living up to them.  They often withdraw from trying out new things with the instant belief they will not be able to do it, or are not good enough.
LOVE
When it comes to romance, a prospective partner will have to spell out their intentions quite clearly for the Virgoan rarely believes that anyone would fall for them in the first place.
Romance can indeed be a difficult area for them, as they are not the greatest of flirts, haven’t a clue about romance or emotions, and can get up in a heap about sex. Lets just say, they are not quite the Casanovas of the Zodiac. Their fellow Zodiac Signs would be aghast by their often old-fashioned, religious and puritanical attitudes towards sex. This type of Virgoan will need a very determined and patient partner to draw them out of this mind-set, if they want to ignite a few sparks in the bedroom. Their hyper-critical nature will have them analysing either their performance or their partner’s which can be quite insulting.
FAMILY AND PARENTING
Clean Freaks and hygiene fanatics, The Virgoan house will be spotless, have a place for everything, and everything in its place. If they are not careful they can create a very sterile and clinical environment where family and friends find it impossible to relax.  The Virgoan will have the vacuum cleaner out 24/7, antiseptic wipes for everything, and a pair of rubber gloves for each room. They will put a clean house before everything, and will not take too kindly to their partner suggesting a roll in the bed once it has been made. In fact during sex the Virgoan is often more concerned about the mess in the bedroom rather than what’s going on between the sheets.  Open the hot press or any cupboard in the house and you will see perfectly folded clothes, neatly stacked tins, and not a bit of fluff or dust in sight. How do they do it? However, once the Virgoan settles into a relationship they generally do not stray. They can however, drive their partner mad by going overboard every time the toilet seat is left up, the toothpaste tube squeezed from the middle, or a coat is thrown casually over the end of the stairs.
You will never find the family of a Virgoan parent slouched in front of the television.  They believe that each moment should be spent doing practical things. They need to switch off every now and again and just chill out on the couch, even if it does mean crumpling up the cushions.  Listening to some music, or reading a bit of light fiction would do wonders for their tensed up nature.  However, if any of the family have a problem, it will be to the Virgoan parent they run to. Their natural analytic and intelligent mind will have the situation sorted in no time.  In fact Virgoans are very good at expressing themselves, and rarely let issues build up and get explosive. They do have a tendency to get argumentative though at times when debating or forcing an issue home.
The Virgo parent can find it hard to understand that their children aren’t as frenzied about things as they are.  Watching their kids lounge in front of a television or play for hours on playstation/xbox will drive them to distraction. They need to watch their tendency to be hyper-critical of their offspring, and not set such high standards for them. They can easily ruin their child’s confidence with cutting comments.
Not wanting to sit for a minute, the Virgoan parent will fill their children’s spare time with as much activity as possible. It will be the Virgoan child, or child of a Virgoan Parent who will arrive daily to school with neat school books, meticulous writing, homework handed in on time and sporting a perfectly groomed, scrubbed squeaky-clean appearance.
CAREER
Virgoans are extreme hard workers, but generally not very ambitious. They will give the best years of their life working diligently for the same company with precious little thanks or reward. They probably don’t think they deserve it anyway. The Virgoan woman who chooses to stay at home to rear kids, can often become a slave to all.  With little sense of self-worth she can believe her family define who she is.  The Virgoan woman can however, easily combine maintaining both a career and family.  She will give her all, 300% in work and come home each evening to completely clean the house from top to bottom, while cooking a meal for the kids and meticulously going over their homework. If this tendency is not checked, there may be precious little time left for herself, hobbies or socialising.
When it comes to career, Virgoans tend to play it safe and will steer clear of anything that is considered risky.  Job security is very important and they can get quite concerned if they think their work is not good enough. Therefore there is a tendency to overdo things in work. They love anything were detail is concerned and have very high standards. They make excellent planners, personal assistants, secretaries etc. and can be relied on to smooth the path for their busy and important boss.  Their constant fear of losing their job, makes them fiercely loyal to whoever they work for, and though not naturally ambitious, can work their way to the top, just by the very fact they have stuck it out for so long.
Virgoans make excellent teachers with their attention to detail and natural intelligence, but students can find them harsh and cold if they become overly critical about their work.  Like their fellow Earth Signs, they have a deep love of nature and animals. The cat is strongly associated with Virgo. A career in agriculture, farming, landscaping etc will be highly enjoyable and rewarding. Their natural tendency to be cleanaholics can have them drawn to health and safety.  Alternative medicine or holistic therapies can also be attractive.
HEALTH
When it comes to health it is very easy to guess that nervous tension would be high on the list for causing problems of all sorts. Virgo governs the stomach, so when stress and tension kick in, it usually manifests in an upset tummy or a headache. Virgo also governs the pancreas, so they need to be on the alert for any signs of diabetes. Virgoans have high levels of nervous energy.  They need to learn to channel it positively, or neutralise it.  Ulcers can be the result of excessive stress and worry. Their challenge is to worry less about things that really aren’t worth worrying about, get plenty of physical exercise, and preferably outdoors if possible. Power walking, jogging, cycling, hiking are preferable to a gym set up.  Gardening can be very unwinding and relaxing. Virgoans also make excellent gymnasts and ballet dancers.  Food wise, Virgoans find wholefoods and vegetables very satisfying.  Many become vegetarians.
THE OLDER VIRGOAN
The older Virgoan tends to mellow slightly with age and will spend more time pursuing leisure activities and hobbies. Their hobbies need to be both mentally and physically stimulating to counteract their natural tendency to stress over things. Golf will be perfect as well as gardening, but they can become quite obsessive.  Virgoans are either great or useless gardeners, with very little in between. Those who excel in this area definitely have a green finger, and once they see the results of their hard work paying off, it will give their confidence a great boost. On the other hand, the less successful Virgoan gardener can give the kiss of death to any plant they touch.
Like their fellow sign Taurus, they are generally good with their hands so sewing, embroidery, pottery or wood carving can be worthwhile pursuits. The older Virgoan will eventually put the vacuum cleaner aside for long enough to sit down and  thoroughly enjoy stimulating their intellect with tons of reading.
CAPRICORN – THE HORNED GOAT
Tumblr media
DECEMBER 22ND – JANUARY 20TH
(Please Note, The Personality Profile Below is Based on the Archetypal Capricorn for Tarot Reading Purposes. Most People have a mix of several Zodiac Signs based on Their Astrological Birth Chart and are not solely one Sign.)
Ruling Planet – Saturn
Duality or Gender – Feminine
Triplicity or Element – Earth
Quadruplicity or Quality – Cardinal
Body Areas –  Bones,  Knees, Skin, Teeth
Stones – Amethyst, turquoise
Colours – Black, dark brown, dark green, grey
Tarot Correspondences – Devil, Knight of Pentacles
Capricorns have the reputation of being severe, stubborn, dreadfully ambitious, and either very self-confident or not confident at all. To others they can often be viewed as terribly dull, boring and no fun to be around.  They are seriously ambitious and can be one-tracked where this is concerned. The Capricorn personality has a tendency to be extremely materialistic and generally this is what drives them in every aspect of life. They can become workaholics who rarely have time for silly frivolity.
Capricorns like to be successful, and will stop at nothing to achieve this.  However, not every Capricorn exhibits the same sense of self-confidence and ability, but that does not mean that the Capricorn lacking in these vital qualities will also lack in ambition. They are as ambitious and materialistic as their fellow self-confident Capricorns, but use a different approach in getting to the top. They will often look to acquire success by sneakily slipping in the backdoor or off the back of others. We will look more at this negative trait a bit later.
LOVE
When it comes to affairs of the heart, the poor old Capricorn is not up there in the romantic league at all. Capricorns tend to think carefully before getting involved. They will weigh up the pros and cons, and examine their emotions constantly to see how they really feel about a certain person. They have an innate fear of rejection and will sometimes need to be coaxed into a relationship. Unlike most of the other signs where romance is concerned, there will be no lavish displays of extravagant gestures or splashing out on expensive restaurants or holidays. The Capricorn in love will be very cautious where money is concerned, and unless their partner feels the same about senseless waste, they may very well believe they are with a stingy miser.  Capricorns just don’t like throwing their money around, and will carefully guard what they have earned or own. They have to remember in relationships that sharing is important, and even the married Capricorn can still regard his or her money as their own, and feel resentful having to spend on family occasions or outings.
Capricorns are the type to have their own personal bank or savings account which no one is privy to. If their partner is staying at home to raise children, well he or she will have to come with hand out, and give a bloody good reason as to why they want x amount of money. It will be the Capricorn who battles continuously through the divorce courts over settlements and maintenance arrangements. It is the Capricorn personality who is all for prenuptial contracts, that is unless he or she is marrying into money. That of course is a very different story.
The Capricorn , like his fellow Earth sign Virgo, may not be a riot in bed, and emotions and affection may only appear in small doses. However, when they do fall in love and find a suitable partner they tend to make a long-term commitment out of it. If they do put some work into lightening up, expressing their emotions more freely, and being more easy-going about money and work, well believe it or not there often is a great sense of humour and fun buried deep down.
With regards to the Capricorn being ambitiously motivated in every area of their life,  the Negative Capricorn can be found to marry for money or status. Their single-minded attitude to career, or the material side of life, will compensate for any lack of love or intimacy in the relationship. This can cause terrible unhappiness or loneliness for the partner in the relationship. The having and getting side of the Negative Capricorn will be blinkered to any unhappiness they may be causing. It is the Negative Capricorn who will have methodically and systematically wheedled his way into the affections of the boss’s daughter.  It is the Negative Capricorn who will become palsy-walsy with her dad, to ensure promotion and extra benefits, whether earned or not.
FAMILY AND PARENTING
Nothing really changes that much when the Capricorn has a family except that they do seem to spend a bit more, and their offspring will be regularly showered with expensive gifts. The Capricorn takes the family quite seriously, but the presents and gifts are generally to offset the fact that they are very rarely around. Their obsession with work and money will leave them very little time for family pleasures. The Capricorn parent’s argument here is, that it is they, the family, he/she is working so hard to support and provide for.  The Capricorn parent will work extremely hard to provide a secure financial future and good education for their kids. The children of a Capricorn parent may often feel lacking in physical affection though.  As they grow, they can feel a sense of disconnection with their Capricorn parent regardless of the fabulous house they live in, or the private school they are attending.
Capricorns as parents can be extremely heavy-handed with their children and way too rigid. They do expect the best of their children and will put a lot of pressure on them to succeed. Capricorn personalities as we know, have difficulty in expressing their emotions and will find it hard to tell either their partner or children how much they love them, which is a shame. They need to find time for play, casual chat and a bit of a laugh with their family.  Capricorns do have a great sense of humour when they let go. A few hugs here and there will go a long way. Unless they try to bridge the gap early on, they may find their children are strangers to them when they grow up.
CAREER
Where career is concerned the Capricorn is very ambitious and will have no problem starting at the bottom of the ladder, keeping their head down and carefully and cautiously make their way to the top. They epitomise the extremely successful business man who began with nothing, but now runs a massive empire. Where material wealth and possessions are concerned, enough is never enough with the ambitious Capricorn. They will work all the hours god gave them, and happily sacrifice free time and leisurely pursuits, in favour of achieving their goal.
Not known for taking risks, they will carefully examine every aspect or proposal before moving on it. They really need a guarantee that no losses will be incurred. They have no problem going out on their own, and  are very responsible and diligent where business matters are concerned. They prefer running their own shop than sharing with anyone else, for they can be very single-minded and unbending. Capricorns make excellent, managing directors, chairpersons, property managers,  heads of major empires, and also excel in politics. The self-made man or woman is the typical Capricorn.
HEALTH
Capricorn governs the bones, so health wise they do have a tendency for injuries or weakness in these areas.  Exercise is important to keep bones strong and joints supple. Walking or jogging is an  excellent way of staying fit and keeping the body moving. Stiffening of the joints may set in as the Capricorn ages, so it is important to maintain suppleness for as long as possible.
The teeth and skin also come under the Capricorn body areas, so regular visits to the dentist and plenty of moisturiser and sun factor are a must. Capricorns like their Fellow Earth Signs do love the outdoors and prefer the cold to the heat. They make great athletes, enjoy mountain climbing, and of course the social-climbing aspects of golf. Their desire for cooler temperatures will have them throwing windows open even in the depths of winter. The heating will be used sparingly which will be very uncomfortable for those who have to live or work with them. They do have a tendency to develop rheumatism as they get older, so all that cold in the bones is not the best thing at all.
THE OLDER CAPRICORN
Capricorns don’t take too kindly to retirement and will dread the day when they are forced to give up, or hand over the reins to someone else. They never had any time for pursuing leisure activities when they were younger, so why should they now? Any leisure or social activities that they were involved in usually had a work connection of some sort, such as golf with the boss or important clients. They have a habit of attending parties, concerts, race meetings or social events purely for status, who they might meet, or who of importance might see them in attendance. There does tend to be a hidden agenda to all their activities.
If any do eventually get around to just doing for the sake of doing and personal enjoyment, they may very well be found pottering around the garden, hill walking, pottery, wood carving etc. Capricorn is also strongly associated with music, so opera and concert going are possibilities.  Even the act of simply listening to music or learning to play an instrument will be enjoyable. For the Capricorn who gets less mobile with age, reading can be a great source of entertainment.

The Importance of Legal Pages: Protecting Your Business with Affordable Websites in Melbourne
In Melbourne's thriving business landscape, a strong online presence is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity. Affordable web design in Melbourne makes it easier than ever for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to establish a digital storefront, connect with customers, and boost their bottom line. However, alongside the excitement of launching a new website comes the responsibility of ensuring it operates legally and fosters trust with your audience. Here's where seemingly mundane legal pages like Privacy Policies and Terms of Use become crucial for your affordable website in Melbourne.
Why Legal Pages Matter for Affordable Websites in Melbourne
While the initial focus might be on design and functionality, neglecting legal pages exposes your business to potential risks. These pages outline the rules of engagement between your business and website visitors, protecting both parties and fostering a sense of security for your customers.
Here's a breakdown of the importance of having legal pages for your affordable website in Melbourne:
Compliance with Australian Law: The Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) regulate how businesses collect, use, and disclose personal information. Having clear and up-to-date Privacy Policies ensures you comply with these regulations and avoid hefty fines.
Building Trust with Customers: Transparency is key in today's digital age. By displaying clear legal pages, you demonstrate your commitment to responsible data practices and user privacy. This builds trust with visitors, encouraging them to interact with your website and potentially convert into paying customers.
Managing User Expectations: Terms of Use define the acceptable use of your website. This can include outlining limitations on content uploads, user conduct, and intellectual property rights. Setting these expectations upfront minimizes the risk of misuse and protects your business from potential legal disputes.
Peace of Mind: Knowing your website operates within legal boundaries provides peace of mind. Legal pages act as a safety net, reducing the chance of encountering legal issues down the line and allowing you to focus on growing your business.
Affordable web design in Melbourne doesn't have to come at the cost of legal compliance. Many affordable web design companies in Melbourne offer packages that include the creation of basic legal pages.
Understanding Key Legal Pages for Your Affordable Website in Melbourne
While various legal pages can be beneficial, two are essential for any Melbourne business with an affordable website:
Privacy Policy: This document outlines how your website collects, uses, stores, and discloses user data. It should address:
What information you collect: This could include contact details, browsing history, or purchase information.
How you use the information: Explain how you utilize data to personalize user experience, send marketing communications, or improve your website.
User choices and control: Outline how users can access, update, or opt-out of data collection.
Data security measures: Briefly explain the steps you take to safeguard user data from unauthorized access or breaches.
Terms of Use: This document defines the legal agreement between your business and website visitors. It should address:
Acceptable use: Specify prohibited activities like spamming, uploading illegal content, or violating intellectual property rights.
Limitations of Liability: Outline your responsibility for any information or services provided on the website.
Copyright and Intellectual Property: Clearly state ownership of website content and any restrictions on its use.
Governing Law: Specify the legal jurisdiction that governs any disputes arising from the use of your website.
Remember: Legal pages should be written in clear, concise language that your average website visitor can understand. Avoid overly technical jargon and ensure the information is easy to find on your website.
Affordable Web Design in Melbourne: FAQs on Legal Pages
Do I need a lawyer to create legal pages for my affordable website? While a lawyer can provide tailored advice for complex situations, many affordable web design companies in Melbourne offer pre-drafted legal page templates. These templates can be a cost-effective solution for most SMBs.
Can I use a generic legal page template from the internet? While tempting, generic templates might not comply with Australian law or adequately address the specific needs of your business. It's best to consult with a web design professional in Melbourne who understands the legal landscape and can provide guidance on tailoring a template to your website.
How often should I update my legal pages? Review your legal pages regularly, especially after any changes to Australian privacy laws or your website's functionality. Updating your legal pages demonstrates your commitment to compliance and user trust.
Conclusion: Affordable Websites in Melbourne: A Winning Combination of Design and Legality
Affordable web design in Melbourne empowers businesses to establish a a strong online presence without breaking the bank. However, a visually appealing and functional website isn't enough in today's digital environment. By incorporating essential legal pages like Privacy Policies and Terms of Use, you ensure your website operates legally, fosters trust with customers, and protects your business from potential risks.

Dressing for Formal Events: A Fashion Designer's Guide for Women
In the realm of women's fashion, dressing for formal events is an artful expression of elegance, sophistication, and meticulous attention to detail. As a fashion designer or someone aspiring to make a statement through attire, here's a comprehensive guide on how to dress for a formal event with a particular emphasis on women's fashion:
Tumblr media
Decipher the Dress Code:
Black Tie: For a black-tie event, women have the privilege of wearing a floor-length gown that exudes understated glamour. Classic silhouettes and refined fabrics are the hallmark. Pair this with elegant accessories and high heels for a look of timeless beauty.
Black Tie Optional: Black-tie optional provides an opportunity to showcase your style within a more flexible framework. Opt for a formal cocktail dress with a distinguished touch, or choose a floor-length gown for a heightened sense of luxury. Accessories and footwear should be chosen thoughtfully.
White Tie: The pinnacle of formality demands a full-length formal gown, embellished with exquisite details. White gloves and refined jewelry are essential. Choose heels that epitomize grace and allure.
Elegance in Precision:Tailoring is your closest confidant. Ensure that your garments are custom-tailored to your body, allowing for an impeccable fit that gracefully accentuates your figure.
Harmonious Aesthetic:Craft an ensemble that radiates harmony. Every element, from fabric selection to accessory choices, should contribute to a cohesive, sophisticated whole.
Shunning Casual Elements:In the world of high fashion, there's no room for casual attire. Denim, sneakers, and overly casual accessories should be left at home.
Grooming Excellence:In the fashion world, grooming is artistry. Makeup and hairstyling should reflect refinement and subtlety. Pay close attention to detail to ensure a polished appearance.
Subdued Color Palette:Respect the formality of the occasion by favoring subdued color palettes. Classic, timeless colors like black, navy, and muted grays are often favored.
Accessory Précis:Accessories are the exclamation points of your ensemble. Choose a classic clutch or evening bag, tasteful jewelry, and a belt that complements your look to perfection.
Tail or No Tail:In the context of Black Tie Optional events, a tasteful tie or a unique accessory can elevate your outfit. In White Tie events, utmost formality mandates a white bow tie.
Outerwear Essentials:Prepare for the elements with a formal overcoat or shawl, ensuring that your warmth does not compromise your regal aesthetics.
Theme Integration:If the formal event adheres to a specific theme or cultural context, thoughtfully incorporate thematic elements into your attire, while maintaining the overarching sense of formality.
Confidence as the Ultimate Accessory:The ultimate accessory in women's fashion is confidence. Just as a designer's creative genius shines through their work, your confidence elevates your attire. Walk and communicate with grace and assurance to leave an indelible impression.
Tumblr media
In the world of women's fashion, dressing for formal events represents a canvas for you to display your design prowess and an appreciation for the intricacies of style. Through attention to detail, impeccable tailoring, and an acute understanding of the subtle artistry of women's fashion, you will undoubtedly shine at any formal occasion, be it a gala, charity ball, or any other grand event.

I like what you did with the language of birthday, and I wonder if you could make one for 31th October.
Language Of Birthdays: October 31 - Scorpio
[You can find the rest of the series here; or check out my masterlist]
The Day Of Attentiveness
October 31 people pride themselves on being meticulous observers and executors of detail. Their ability to concentrate all of their energy allows them to cut through obstructions thrown up in their way—this laser-like intensity also makes them formidable adversaries. However, October 31 people are not in general overly aggressive. They can in fact display a sweet and even gentle exterior which belies their harder side. In personal relationships they are caring and protective.
But underneath, October 31 people of both sexes have a kind of warrior mentality working, and it can on occasion land them in plenty of trouble. Sometimes after the fact it will seem as if trouble was just what they were after, but not from their point of view. As far as they are concerned, they only attack when provoked. Actually those born on this day may have problems with assertiveness, for short of this kind of all-out reaction they can behave in an overly accommodating manner. In other words, they are often too nice and come to regret it later when they have been let down or unappreciated. This can lead to real depression, which after all is only anger driven inside.
Combat, whether physical or mental, is a recurrent theme for those born on this day. The warrior mentality is one that enjoys the challenge of great odds, is capable of exercising restraint, suffering privations (including lack of food, drink and sleep) and bearing pain. Those born on this day often take pride in their eschewing of comforts and luxuries, and their ability to handle any surprising or dangerous situation that arises, instantly. Mental training is thus key to the development of an October 31 personality.
October 31 people do not give ground easily. They have keen critical minds adept at ferreting out falsehoods and insecurities. They love "detective work" and often take an active interest in both criminality and daring exploits. Calculated risks may attract them, but they are by no means reckless daredevils. They are nonetheless accident-prone and can be rather unlucky at certain crucial points in their lives, which they initially take very hard. However, in the face of such adversity they are determined in their efforts to turn their luck around and often succeed in doing so.
Those born on this day must not let small things irritate them or push their buttons. The key to October 31 power is concentration. If this is broken, those born on this day may become confused and therefore vulnerable in extreme situations. October 31 people will always strive to give their all when they believe in an ideal or a person. They must, however, learn to deal with rejection and emotional disappointments. Since quality rather than quantity is central to their work ethic, they may at times give an impression of passivity accompanied by a lack of drive and ambition. This is primarily due to their sense of restraint and disinterest in attracting undue attention.
Strengths:
Caring
Observing
Indomitable
Weaknesses:
Self-effacing
Easily irritated
Resentful
Advice
October 31 people must take special care of their health if they wish to remain alert and able to function as described earlier. Getting plenty of sleep and eating well are key to their staying in good shape. Those born on this day should learn to cook for themselves (if they don't already know how) and regulate a diet built around vegetables and grains with a limited meat intake. The October 31 nature demands vigorous exercise and if those born on this day don't get it they run the risk of building up harmful stress. Competitive sports and gymnastics may satisfy their needs, but some October 31 people may wish to go even further and take part in combative activities such as boxing, jiu-jitsu, karate, kung-fu or kendo. Tai-chi is recommended for developing grace, patience and control. Sexually. October 31 people need lots of activity, but because of their selectivity may limit themselves to only a few partners.
Push yourself a little more: achievements are important
You have to drop your guard to let someone in
Doubt less, trust more, and try lo be less critical and argumentative
Cultivate diplomacy
Self-assurance is key

Boosting Morale
It's been too long since Rex and Cody were together to let sharing a room with a dozen other men stop them from having sex.
And if their men want to watch, well maybe that can just be part of the fun.
Tags: Public Sex, Exhibitionism,   Begging, Anal Sex, Consensual Kink, Humiliation, Light Dom/sub, sub Cody, bottom Cody, Porn with Feelings, Praise Kink, Dirty Talk, Roleplay-ish, SubCody Week 2021 
Read on Ao3
It hadn’t even occurred to Cody to not to give up his quarters when Kenobi had mentioned there were going to be a total of six Jedi and twice as many Senators on the Negotiator for a couple of nights. It was sensible even if it hadn’t been proper procedure. He could find an empty bunk in the Trooper barracks easily enough, an event he doubted a non-clone would ever recover from.
Still, he was disappointed to be on the same ship as Rex and not have the privacy to enjoy it. At least they could still curl up in the same bunk, which was a whole lot better than being light years apart for weeks at time.
And, well, Cody hadn’t realised he’d missed sharing a room with his brothers. Private quarters once he had left Kamino were a luxury he could never have imagined and not one he wanted to give up, but there was something oddly nostalgic about being in barracks with a couple dozen other clones, a near even mix of the 212th and the 501st who had been invited to double up. He’d even missed the unashamed sounds of loud sex happening all around him as everyone settled in for the evening. The only thing that had really changed from when he shared a room with other CCs was that he wasn’t able to pick out exactly who was fucking who based on the precise sounds they were making.
That was probably a good thing; he didn’t need to know any of his men that well, or any of Rex’s for that matter.
And it turned out his frustration at not being able to enjoy one of the rare nights he had Rex got to spend together had been unfounded. It probably wasn’t the best idea to get so handsy in front of men they were expected to lead into battle, but if their vode had no concerns about getting off in front of them, it seemed only fair they got off too.
Rex kissed him like he was trying to drag Cody’s soul out through his mouth, hard and unrelenting. He was in a rough mood, teeth catching on Cody’s lower lip, tugging and sucking, drawing soft noises from Cody.
He was on his back, Rex above him, one leg pressed between Cody’s, rubbing up against him with any movement. Cody still resisted actively rutting against it, but he was more than aware the opportunity was there if he wanted it. Rex had an elbow either side of Cody’s head holding just enough of Rex’s weight to get the angle Rex wanted, the rest of Rex’s bulk heavy across Cody’s body.
Cody sighed into the demanding kisses, holding the front of Rex’s shirt to stop any chance of him pulling away; not that it was a risk he was particularly concerned about.
“Hey, Captain, nice of you to slum it down with the rest of us. Who’s your hot piece of ass?” A Trooper called out across the room with the confidence of a man who had just earned his paint.
Rex broke the kiss and Cody opened his eyes, getting a good look at him before he turned to address the Trooper. Rex was a little flushed, eyes dark, mouth quirked up in amusement.
“That would be Marshal Commander Cody,” Rex said. “Something you’d like to say to him?”
Cody turned to catch the man’s expression, the added bonus being that twisting his head displayed his distinctive scar. The Trooper went a rather dramatic shade of white.
“No Sir. Sorry Sir- Sirs,” the kid said, snapping his heels together and saluting. Around him his friends seemed torn between laughing at his misfortune and being appropriately deferential. It probably wasn’t the sort of thing they were going to let him forget anytime soon. It was an important lesson in being overly familiar with officers.
Not that it was always a bad thing for soldiers to be familiar with their COs. Cody tugged Rex’s attention back to him before the poor boy combusted. He liked how familiar Rex was with him.
“You’re a fucking moron, Vector,” one of the clones said, voice not quite low enough to prevent it from carrying.
“Gonna get your shebs sent for reconditioning. Gonna have to tell the Kaminoans you said a Superior officer could get it,” another said, Blue, a 212th man on a list in Cody’s office for potential officer training. He went a little pinker realising he was going to know exactly which of his people had watched Rex feel him up.
“Nah, the Commander’s always in a good mood when Rex is around, no rewards for guessing why. He’ll probably just put you on cleaning detail until you die.”
“It is a hell of a show though,” Blue said, and Cody knew he wasn’t supposed to have heard that part. He let it pass unchallenged. Rex’s hand was slipping under his shirt, warm even against his heated skin, and everything else seemed unimportant.
“He’s right,” Rex mumbled, breaking the kiss to suck at Cody’s neck instead. “You are a hot piece of ass.”
Cody rolled his eyes, but smiled despite himself. Their kisses were growing more heated, and the leg sandwiched between his own a more distracting presence. It was one thing to make out in a shared space, full of subordinates who were already paying more attention to them than they would any Troopers fooling around, it was quite another have sex with another officer right in front of them.
They could probably get away with frotting against each other at least. Except-
“Force, I want to fuck you so bad.” Rex said, mouth hot against Cody’s neck.
Cody groaned, shifting his hips, rubbing his semi-erect cock against the thick meat of Rex’s thigh. The muscles in his groin clenched at the suggestion, pre-come leaking from the tip of his cock, staining the front of his blacks. It had been almost two months since they’d had the time for penetrative sex, and now the idea was in his head he wasn’t sure he could settle for anything else.
Rex nipped at his jaw.
“You’d like that, huh? I could strip you out of your blacks in front of our men and fuck you while they watch,” Rex shifted from his elbows up onto his hands, looming over Cody.
“Rex,” Cody moaned, his hips twitching without his permission.
“What do you think they’d make of that? Watching the great Commander Cody spreading his legs and begging for it like a slut?
“Please.” He could already picture it, how he would look to them, reduced to a needy mess by the promise of a hard cock in him. He had such a carefully built reputation of control and unbending professionalism and there was something deliciously filthy at revealing to the men who respected him that he was as human as the rest of them, throwing all propriety aside in exchange for good hard fucking.
“Please what?” Rex asked, smirking ever so slightly. The only saving grace for Cody’s pride was the flush rising on Rex’s neck, making it clear he was as turned on at the thought as Cody was.
“Fuck me in front of them. Show them who I belong to.”
Rex’s breath caught in his throat. He pressed his thigh more firmly between Cody’s legs and Cody failed to muffle his cry. He buried his burning face into Rex’s shoulder. Fuck. The silence in the room was palpable, and he could feel the eyes of what must be everyone in the room turn to him.
He wanted this, the tent in his blacks made that more than clear, but the sharp embarrassment was dancing between exciting and too much.
Cody wrapped his arms around Rex’s back, holding him close as he decided where he was going to land on this. They’d played with this sort of fantasy before, toying with the intoxicating mix of humiliation and excitement of being watched, but fantasy and reality were two very different beasts.
Rex kissed the point just under his ear, voice more breath than sound. “We can go find a supply closet if you want?”
It certainly would be easier. They could steal from the room and find a private little corner of the ship, it wouldn’t even be the first time. But he wanted to do it here. He wanted everyone to know exactly how well Rex took care of him. He wanted the burn of humiliation fuelling his arousal.
“No. I want to do it here.”
“You sure?” Rex asked, because he worried like that.
“Positive.”
Rex bit the shell of his ear, giving a tug just the right side of painful. “You’ll let me know if it becomes too much?”
Cody nodded.
Satisfied, Rex sat back on his haunches, pulling his upper black up off over the top of his head, dropping them onto the floor by the bed. He had mostly healed burn from a too close for comfort blaster bolt along his shoulder where there was a narrow gap in their armour. Cody sat up, pressing a kiss just by the edge of it.
Before he could enjoy the rest of Rex’s newly exposed skin, Rex was tugging insistently on Cody’s own blacks, his shirt quickly joining Rex’s on the floor. Rex did exactly what he had just denied Cody, pushing him back into the mattress and ducking his head to suck a dark mark into Cody’s collarbone. Cody closed his eyes, sinking into the pillows, a soft sigh escaping his lips. Rex’s mouth was hot against his skin, and a deep satisfaction curled around his chest knowing how marked up he was going to be by the time Rex was done with him. He’d have fading bruises to trace long after Rex was gone.
Pleased with his work, Rex abandoned Cody’s collarbone in search of somewhere else to mark him only to be very quickly distracted by Cody’s left nipple. He licked a stripe over it before sucking it into his mouth, while Cody made a soft, pleased sound. Rex’s teeth teased the nub, a sharp pain that had him clutching at the back of Rex’s head to keep him in place.
“Fuck, that’s hot,” said one of the troopers said from a bunk over. They were slowly gathering closer, even those that had been actively fucking each other suddenly more interested in what Cody and Rex were up to. It was understandable, it wasn’t the sort of show that happened very often, if ever. “The Commander looks good all messed up.”
Cody wondered what Fox would have to say if he knew about this, Fox who claimed he intended to fuck his way through the entire GAR but wouldn’t so much as be seen in a state of undress more scandalous than removing his helmet by the men he directly commanded. If he and Ponds had ever managed to agree about anything it was that it was an officer’s responsibility to maintain an unshakable sense of integrity to his men. Cody somewhat doubted they would consider letting Rex fuck him as meeting that standard. This was going to make it back to the other CCs, it was inevitable, and the promise of their judgement did filthy things to Cody’s insides.
He hadn’t known this about himself, how hot he would find this.
“Check in with me?” Rex said, removing his mouth from Cody and leaving the wet skin to cool against the air.
“They think I’m hot,” he said voice already a little rough.
“You like that?” Rex asked.
Cody wanted to hide his face, somehow more embarrassed to admit that he liked being watched than in the being watched itself. There was nowhere for him to hide from how well Rex knew him however, so he just nodded.
Rex looked at him like Cody had hung the stars and planets beside. He kissed Cody with bruising force, before taking full advantage of Cody’s confession.
“They’re jealous,” Rex said. “They would do anything to be in my position right now. You spread out under them, desperate for their touch. If I wasn’t here, would you let them? Would you offer up your tight ass to your men?”
Cody whined, fisting the sheets under him.
“You would, wouldn’t you?” Rex was back at his throat, pausing his verbal torment to add another bruise to Cody’s growing collection. Only when he was satisfied with the angry mark did he continue. “Face down on the bed, ass in the air, let them take turns with you until you’re fat with their come. You think a single one of them could resist an offer like that?”
“Fuck, Rex.” He tried to grind his ass against Rex but he had no leverage flat on his back, Rex’s hands holding him in place.
“Ask me for it,” Rex ordered. “ Nicely.”
Cody let out a breathless laugh. Like he was in any state to be rude to Rex right now.
“Please, Rex.”
Rex rolled his hips, the hard line of his erection rubbing up against Cody and his thigh pressing teasingly down against Cody’s, but he made no other move to progress things.
“Louder. So our men can hear you.”
Heat throbbed sharply in Cody’s crotch.
“Please,” he said, barely any louder than the first time. Rex kissed him, mouth closed, surprisingly chaste considering the filth he had been talking only moments before. Cody squeezed his eyes shut and tried again.
“Rex, please. I need you in me. Stop teasing. Please. ” There was a tremble to his voice, but it carried across the room, and he heard someone off to the side let out a low groan accompanied by the unmistakable sound of a hand working slicked up flesh.
Force, they were jerking themselves off to this. To him.
Rex let out a low moan of his own, kissing Cody again with more force.
“You’re amazing,” Rex breathed. “I love you.”
He smiled, bright and warm, made braver by Rex’s words.
“Fuck me, please, please, Rex. ” He shifted his own leg, deciding it was only fair Rex experienced the delicious friction he’d been teasing Cody with, pressing his leg up against Rex’s bulge. Rex gasped, arms almost buckling in surprise, but while a couple of Troopers moved to sit on closer bunks for a better view, Rex wasn’t taunted into returning to their game just yet.
“I want them to see how perfect you are for me. I want them to hate me for being lucky enough to have you.” He said, voice low, speaking just for Cody. Rex threaded the fingers of one hand through Cody’s, holding his face with a gentleness that didn’t match bite marks littering Cody’s body.
They looked at each other for a moment, Rex smiling fondly, running his thumb down the scar on Cody’s face. Cody wanted him far more deeply than physically, wanted to whisper terrible vulnerable things to him, but while he was learning all sorts of new things about himself in that moment, like his apparent kink for being dommed with an audience, that was something he wasn’t willing to share with anyone but Rex.
Instead he kissed Rex’s palm and hoped that he knew.
Rex closed his eyes for a moment and when he opened them his smile widened and turned more mischievous.
“If we don’t move this along I’m going to come in my blacks like a shiny,” Rex said. He released Cody’s face to trace a line over Cody’s ass through his blacks instead.
Shit.
“We don’t have any lube,” Cody realised. He’d left it in his room, hidden among his clean underwear. He hadn’t considered this as an option.
Rex hesitated for only a moment, before his expression turned smug. He dug his fingers into the flesh of Cody’s ass, teasing the waistband of his blacks lower on hips. “I’m sure one of our roommates would be happy to donate some to the cause if we ask.”
Cody was more than aware it should be embarrassing to have to publicly ask one of their subordinates for lube but with Rex’s obvious arousal at the idea pressing against him it was impossible to care.
He nodded his consent to the suggestion and was rewarded with a playful slap to his ass, though the angle was wrong for any real force.
“Hey, Fives,” Rex called across the room. “You got any lube?”
Five’s reply came quickly enough to make it clear his attention, seemingly like every other clone in the room, was already on Rex and Cody. “I thought being prepared for all eventualities was what separated good leaders from great ones?” He asked, in what Cody was positive was a reference to something he’d said. It sounded like the sort of bullshit he sprouted around shinies. Making that kid an ARC had been a mistake, that much recognition had given him a dangerous amount of confidence.
“Delegation is an important part of efficient leadership,” Cody said, which was perfectly true, but this was probably not what anyone had had in mind when he’d been taught that. There was a smattering of laughter across the room and Cody had to imagine it was less because they suddenly found him so very witty and more because his attempt at his officer voice was rather undone by his riled up state.
“Enough with the lip,” Rex said, with a hint of his own officer voice slipping through. “Do you have some or are you going to be the reason Marshal Commander Cody doesn’t get fucked tonight?”
Cody was absently surprised that he was even able to maintain an erection with how much blood was rushing to his face. Rex made him sound like he was gagging for it. It wasn’t inaccurate, but having it shared with so many people twisted his insides in delicious ways.
“I’ve got some, give me a second.”
Cody didn’t pay any attention to Fives trying to fish out the lube, his attention suddenly taken by how Rex’s pecs looked from this angle. He wanted to lick them. Rex had a head start on marking him up, but Cody would make sure he returned the favour, if not tonight tomorrow. Rex’s chest was beautiful, but it would look even better covered in dark bruises.
There was the sound of bare feet on the hard floor and a shadow fell across the bed. Fives could have thrown it from where he was sitting, but Cody had to admit that if it had been his superior officer in this position, if it had been Alpha-17, he probably wouldn't have turned down the opportunity to get a closer look either. Fives stared down at him, lube held loosely in his hand, largely forgotten. He hardly seemed to notice when Rex reached out and took it from him, placing it down beside Cody’s hip.
Rex twisted Cody’s nipple sharply, pain blurring with pleasure and Cody arched off the bed with a hiss.
“Say thank you,” he said, before dipping his head to press an apologetic kiss to Cody’s chest.
“Thank you, Fives,” he said, turning only enough that he could see Fives out of the corner of his eye. Fives didn’t meet his gaze, his eyes locked on where Rex’s hips were flush against Cody’s, between Cody’s spread thighs.
“You’re welcome, Sir.” Fives wanted to touch him, it was clear in the tension in his hands the effect it was taking to hold himself back. Cody wished he would try. It was impossible in that moment to have any interest in anyone’s hands but Rex’s, but Rex could play the possessive partner when the scene called for it, and Cody wanted to see Rex remind Fives of his place.
He rolled his hips fruitless up against nothing, the drag of his blacks against his cock nowhere near close to enough.
Fives had just enough self-preservation not to try, but he also didn’t leave. He sat on the bed next to theirs, his dick tenting in his blacks, hands in white knuckled fists on his lap. For a second Cody considered asking him to join them, he could take Fives in his mouth while Rex fucked his ass.
“Eyes on me, Cody,” Rex said. He’d sat back up, one hand down the front of his blacks, stroking himself, the material clinging to the outline of his dick. All thoughts of Fives slipped from his head.
Rex gave him an almost bashful smile, dropping his voice again. Fives might be close enough to hear, but it was enough to mark the conversation as not part of the game. “Last chance to think better of this,” Rex said, though of course it wasn’t. Cody had no doubt he could end this at any time. He had no intention of ending anything.
For all the bluster Rex was putting on for the role, he was far from unaffected. The paper thin skin at Rex’s throat fluttered with his rapid pulse and Cody pushed himself up onto his elbows to kiss it. Rex lifted his head, giving Cody easy access, sighing happily as Cody pressed hot, open mouthed kisses to his skin.
“If you weren’t so pretty flustered and on display I might be the one thinking better of this,” The teasing tone was back, Rex’s throat rumbling under Cody’s mouth. “You’re so beautiful, I almost can’t stand the thought of sharing you.”
“You can’t get us all riled up and leave us hanging, Sir.” Steel said, ignoring the elbows from his brothers.
Rex shot Steel a look that made it very clear how little he thought of Steel’s commentary.
“He’s right, Rex, bad for morale.” Cody nudged Rex’s side with his knee. He was aroused and excited, and wanted suddenly to goad Rex into action, face the consequences of a little cheek.
Rex caught on immediately, and there was a dangerous edge to his voice and Cody was abruptly shoved back down flat to the bed. “Want to make this a regular thing? We can have bi-weekly showings? Send holovids to the other battalions of me reducing you to a needy mess, begging for cock. See how good morale is when they have regular access to Marshal Commander Cody being fucked like he was built for it. They haven’t even seen how prettily you suck dick.”
“Big word for a man who still hasn’t fucked me.”
Rex grinned, wide and excited, before he pulled himself back into his role. He grabbed Cody’s balls firmly through his blacks, enough to tumble over the line from pleasurable into uncomfortable, boarding on painful. Cody scrambled at the sheets, arching up into the touch, the air punched out of him.
He loved it when Rex was rough with him.
“What was that, Sir?” Rex asked. “If you’re unhappy with how I’m doing things I’m sure someone else would be happy to take over. Get a little Trooper over here who’ll fuck you exactly how you ask. Do you think that would satisfy you?”
“ Rex, ” he croaked, barely managing to make a sound at all. His lungs were empty and he couldn’t pull in more air. Rex’s grip on him seared like a brand and he squirmed, desperate to be released and desperate to be held tighter. No one had ever been able to ride his limits the way Rex could.
“We both know that I know what you want more than you do, don’t we?” Rex eased up, just enough that Cody remembered how to breathe.
“You do, Sir.” The title spilt from his mouth without his consent, the scene getting twisted in his head, forgetting what game they were playing. He was going to come if Rex wasn’t careful, make a mess of his blacks and their plans.
“Then would you like to apologise, Cody?” Rex’s voice was perfectly level and it made Cody’s toes curl.
“I’m sorry, fuck, I need you, Rex. Just you.” It was more of a whine than words but it was apparently enough.
Rex released Cody’s balls and he could think again. He was achingly hard, throbbing painfully already pressed up against the point of no return. He had to hope the foreplay was turning Rex on as much as it was turning him on, because he felt he wasn’t going to last long when Rex started fucking him.
Rex ran his hands over Cody’s thighs soothingly.
“ Fuck.” Fives sounded almost as ruined as Cody felt.
“Something to say?” Rex asked, returning to the game at hand.
“The fucking noises he makes, Rex. Do you mind if I…?” Cody couldn’t see what Fives gestured to, but he could imagine. There was something almost comical about Fives asking for permission to do what half the other men in the room were already doing.
“Would you like that?” Rex asked Cody, and perhaps Fives just understood the scene a little better than the others. Cody didn’t know what to do with that information.
Cody nodded, probably too eagerly.
“I don’t think he heard you,” Rex said, conversationally, but he had that same ability that all officers had, to make his voice fill a room.
“Yes,” Cody said, trying to use his officer voice too, but there was a tremble to it that he couldn’t quite bring under control.
Rex took hold of Cody’s hips, applying just enough pressure to make sure Cody wouldn’t be able to forget Rex was in control.
“Yes he can masturbate to the noises you’re making while I fuck you?”
Cody’s pulse pounded in his ears, almost enough to drown out everything else. “Yes he can wank to the sounds I’m making.”
“Him or all of them?” Rex asked, still not done forcing Cody to admit exactly what he wanted.
“All of them.” Cody couldn’t get his voice steady but no one could fault his volume. “Fuck, Rex, every fucking clone in the GAR.”
Rex’s hands tightened on him, betraying his own need.
“Well if you’re the entertainment, we really should give them something to see. Wouldn’t want to lower morale.”
Sometimes when Rex took control like this Cody was left feeling like he was floating but this time he felt grounded, hyper-aware of every sensation he was experiencing. The sheets, damp with his own sweat, sticking to his back, the too tight cling of his blacks around his crotch, the achingly familiar calluses of Rex’s hands on his skin, the way the room was already filled with the distinct smell of sex, the scattered noises from their men pleasuring themselves.
He was on the brink of drowning in it, trusting Rex to keep him from sinking completely.
“Going to get you out of the rest of your clothes, show our boys how pretty you are. Bet they already fantasise about your thighs, I know I did while you were still playing hard to get. I think you owe them a proper look after flaunting yourself around for so long.” He dug his fingers into the muscles of Cody’s thighs to prove his point, squeezing once before he shuffled back a little and pulled at the waist of Cody’s trousers.Cody lifted his hips to help and Rex pulled his blacks out from under his ass and down his legs. The air wasn’t particularly cold, but being suddenly so exposed caused goosebumps to raise across his skin. Rex’s hands returned to his bare thighs, running his fingers lightly up the inside and despite applying almost no pressure, Cody spread his legs wide under the touch, lifting his hips, drawing attention to his erect cock.
For a moment he was at the edge of genuine embarrassment at displaying himself so thoroughly, at being so visibly desperate for Rex’s touch, but while the approving noises from the troopers did nothing to soothe him, he was also successful in gaining Rex’s complete attention.
Rex took Cody’s cock in his hand, and Cody moaned, falling back into the pillow, eyes closed, and any risk of shame was consumed by the heat of Rex’s hand. No one should be ashamed of wanting this. He wrapped his legs around Rex’s back, knowing full well he would have to release him almost immediately so Rex could finish undressing, but in that moment needing Rex to be flush against him too much to care.
It was hard to care about much with Rex slowly jerking his dick, rubbing up against his ass, and giving him a look like he was the most beautiful thing Rex had ever seen.
His focus fixated on where the skin just above the waist of Rex’s blacks met the sensitive skin of the inside of Cody’s thighs. He needed more of Rex’s skin against him. He reached up, touching Rex wherever he could, running his hands over Rex’s throat, chest, waist, any part he could reach.
“You’re wearing too much,” he mumbled. “It’s not fair.”
Rex grinned cheekily at him.
“What was that, Cody?” He was still stroking Cody, with slow deliberate strokes that caused heat to pulse through him in encompassing waves. But it wasn’t what he wanted.
“Take your blacks off. Promised them a show,” he said, and then because he’d learned his lesson, added, “Please, Rex. I want to feel you, it’s been too long.”
Rex lent forward to kiss him again, hooking an arm under Cody’s knee, pulling it up with him as he moved, spreading him obscenely open, pressing their cocks together, only a thin layer of material still separating them. It was pressure that had no risk of having him shoot off early, like Rex’s careful handjob had, but the physical proof that Rex was as turned on as he was pressing against him was at least just as arousing.
It was also a deliberate denial of what Cody wanted and caught himself pouting into Rex’s kiss.
“I think the Commander gave you an order, Captain.” It was a 501st boy, one Cody thought he should recognise but couldn’t put a name to. He would have to learn it, give the little shit a medal.
“Don’t think the Commander is in any position to give orders right now,” Rex said, grinning as Cody sulked.
“Think that qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment, Sir. Blue-balling a senior officer.”
“Forget cruel to him, what about us? Gonna get a kriffing friction burn on my dick,” another 501st Trooper added.
“Your boys are as desperate as I am,” Cody said, awed.
Rex shook his head, not even really able to argue with that, but he was always one to recognise an opportunity when it presented itself.
“The 212th have been very shy,” Rex said, sitting back up, “What do you think, Clover. Want to see me fuck your CO? Want to see him squeal?”
Clover let out a sound that was more squeak than word.
Rex let Cody’s leg fall heavily back to the bed.
“Look at him, he’s desperate for it, wants to know how pretty you think he is like this, how pretty the highest ranked clone in the whole damned army is when his subordinate makes him beg,” Rex wore his achievements humbly, but smug pride at how wound up he had Cody was oozing off him in waves and Cody couldn’t get enough of it.
Rex rolled his hips again, pressing their cocks hard against each other and Cody choked out a desperate please. His head felt light, the excitement of the role catching up with him. It was so easy to let everything but his clawing need for Rex to fall away, shove any lingering sense of shame from his head. He needed Rex like he needed air, and he found it hard to care if everyone knew it.
He wanted them to tell him how gorgeous he was like this, not because their opinions mattered, but he needed to hear how perfect he looked to Rex, how jealous they were of what he provided to his partner.
“You’re keeping him waiting, Clover.”
“Yeah, I want to hear him beg, he’s so kriffing beautiful, Sir. Think they built him differently from the rest of us,” the trooper finally managed, without the confidence of his 501st brothers, but lacking none of the eagerness. “Give him your cock, Sir. He’s earned it.”
Rex pressed a finger up against Cody’s entrance, teasing the rim but refusing to push into him.
“You have been very good,” Rex mused, and then his hand was gone. “Seems to me your boys want to see you get fucked just as much as mine, yours are just politer about it”
He lent in very close, mouth brushing against Cody’s ear. “I’m desperate too. The things you do to me, Codes.”
Cody keened, twisting and catching Rex in the briefest of kisses before Rex pulled away.
Rex stood from the bed, kicking off his trousers before in record time before he was back between Cody’s legs, his cock rubbing up against the cleft of Cody’s ass, finally a promise rather than a tease.
He was gone for only a moment, but for those handful of seconds, alone without Rex’s body to shield him from the room Cody took a proper look around, and fuck, they really were being watched by everyone. His heart clenched in that perfect mix of nerves and excitement, the same feeling he got the moment between jumping from a LAAT/i and his jet-pack kicking in. He spread his legs a little wider, rolling his hip up into the air, delighting in how wanton he looked.
His eyes locked with Janad who had shed his own blacks entirely, shamelessly jerking himself off with one hand, the other wrapped around the dick of the vod next to him.
He winked and Cody blushed furiously, heat spreading quickly up his neck, but didn’t look away, not until the second Rex was back between his legs and demanding his full attention. He collected the almost forgotten lube, pouring a liberal amount out onto his fingers, some slipping off and landing on Cody, offensively cold against his heated skin.
“You know that’s the good stuff right?” Fives asked, almost disguising the shudder to his breathing. “Please don’t waste it.”
“Consider it the cost of entry.” Rex grinned, his fingers back at Cody’s ass, trailing his slicked up fingers down between Cody’s cheeks over his hole. “He likes it messy, likes it leaking out of him and down his thighs. Don’t you, Cody?”
He paused his exploring, touching the tips of his fingers against Cody’s entrance, a promise of what the correct answer would bring.
“Yes, Force. I love it when you make a mess of me. Fuck me hard and then send me off to a briefing, leaking slick and come, staining up my blacks.” They’d only done that once, and the discomfort had only just been outweighed by how hot it had made Cody feel. Rex however had been very taken with it, and fucked him again the moment he had returned to his quarters.
Rex made a choked off sound that was almost a curse and finally, finally , pushed two fingers into Cody. He let out a low moan, reaching blindly to hold whatever part of Rex was closest. His cock jumped against his belly as Rex gave him almost no time to adjust to the intrusion, pulling his fingers out to the first knuckle barely as heartbeat after he had pushed them in, only to shove them right back in again. It was a far cry from the stretch of Rex’s cock, but Cody was worked up to a point where he felt he could have fucked himself to completion on a single finger if it was all Rex was offering.
It felt so good to have something filling him.
Rex’s other hand rested on the inside of Cody’s thigh, keeping his legs parted as if Cody would close his legs for anything other than a Sep warship at this point.
Cody was up for a lot in bed, and liked to think he was flexible to whatever his partner wanted, but there was nothing that got him going in quite the same way as being fucked. He’d been utterly taken with the sensation from the very first time he’d pushed his own fingers into himself, face down in his pod back on Kamino, with medical jelly he’d stolen from the medbay as lube. He’d been so caught up in the thrill of this new way of pulling pleasure from his body he’d forgotten to catch his orgasm in the napkins he’d taken from dinner and he’d had to sleep in stained sheets for the next three days.
His own clumsy attempts had nothing on Rex’s fingers stroking against his insides.  
“Love doing this to you,” Rex said, Rex found Cody’s prostate with practised ease, curling the ends of his fingers up into it, pulling punched out gasps from Cody. He wanted to fucked, craved the fullness of it, but with Rex’s clever fingers working him open, he almost forgot that, ready to be brought off just like this. He groaned, struggling to keep himself still under Rex’s attention; he wanted to buck into that hand no matter how fruitless.
“That’s it, let them hear you.” Rex said, continuing his careful massage of Cody’s prostate, dragging more noises from him.
Cody wanted to hear them too, he wanted to know if their thoughts were as filthy as he imagined they must be. But they’d fallen silent again and Rex's efforts were making it hard to think straight.
“Rex,” he gasped.
“Tell me what you want.”
“I don’t- fuck, I don’t know.” He forced out between desperate breaths.
“Need more?” Rex asked. He could have let up, let Cody get his thoughts in order but instead he redoubled his efforts, moving his hand from Cody’s thigh to tease his balls, heavy and full beneath his straining cock.
Cody made an inhuman noise. “Please .”
“From me or them?” Rex sounded so calm, and it was driving Cody wild.
“Both, please, Rex, more.”
“Fives?” Rex asked, trusting their resident ARC to be able to run his mouth.
“Sir?” Fives was less successful in sounding unaffected.
“Is this the first time you’ve gotten off to Cody?”
Cody sucked in air sharply at the thought, Fives making the exact same noise across from him.
“No, Sir. Not the first time,” Fives admitted.
“When was the first?”
“Couple weeks after  Rishi. Echo and I got each other off and all we talked about was the Commander. How fucking hot he looked fighting those droids, his voice, his kriffing legs.”
Cody made a noise he didn’t have a name for, something desperate and eager.
“Look at him,” Rex said, and Cody could only obey.
Fives had pushed his blacks down his thighs, stroking his dick with slow deliberate movements, eyes fixed on Cody. Pre-come leaked from the head and trickled down his cock and over the back of his hand. He grinned at Cody, twisting his hand up over the top of the head of his cock, pulling most moisture from the tip.
“You want to taste it, Commander? I’m sure if you asked nicely the Captain would let you.”
“Careful, mir'sheb ,” Rex said, twisting his hand inside Cody in that particular way that sent a jolt of pleasure though Cody’s lower half. “Not sure that’s what the Commander-”
“No,” Cody cut him off. “I want to hear more.”
Fives finally looked away from Cody, but only to look at Rex, checking everyone was on board.
Rex seemed amused more than anything else. “You heard the Commander, Fives.”
Fives’ gaze snapped back to Cody, eyes darkened with lust at being permission to continue.
“You want to lap at my cock, Sir? I bet you look so pretty stuffed from both ends, can’t imagine one man is enough to satisfy you.”
Cody laughed. He’d been on some strong ass painkillers in his time and none of them had left him feeling as high as this. “Rex is.”
He shot Rex a smile, who managed to look almost bashful, ducking his head to kiss the inside of Cody’s knee. Funny that was what made him blush.
“He never shares?” Fives asked. He was getting close, jerking his hips up into his hand, his coordination abandoning him. Cody wanted to push him over that edge.
“Sometimes,” he admitted. “Sometimes he invites the other CCs into bed with us, see how much I can take. Last time- Ah!”
Rex pulled his hand almost all the way out only to shove them roughly back into Cody, taking his cock in his other hand. The sudden sensations were enough to short circuit Cody’s brain, any hope of coherent sentences forced out of his head in favour of the dual pleasure of being filled and held.
If Rex wasn’t careful he was going to abandon the game entirely. He could flip them, pin Rex to the bed instead, ride him until his legs gave out. He could have Rex in him that very second. Waiting would be better; the tease was half the fun, and Rex always knew exactly how long to make him wait, but if Rex didn’t start something soon he was going to be too horny for something that required as much brain power as delayed gratification.
“Sharing all our secrets, huh?” Rex asked. The hand around Cody was lax, and Rex kept it perfectly still even while he continued to work at his passage.
“You tell him then,” Cody said. He bucked his hips up against the loose grip, desperate for any friction he was allowed, even if it was far too little. “It’s better when you say it.”
Rex smirked and pulled his fingers out with a wet sound that seemed impossibly loud to Cody’s ears. He allowed Cody one firm jerk of his dick before that hand too was removed. Cody whined at the loss, his attention well and truly back on Rex.
Rex however was still looking at Fives.
“The last time I was generous enough to let someone else touch him,” Rex said, picking up where Cody had left off, “we worked him open until he could fit both of us in him. He could barely keep himself upright, even pressed between both of us. It took ages to make him loose enough, and he was so fucking proud of himself when we were both inside. Came all up himself.”
Fives wasn’t looking anymore, his eyes closed, fucking frantically into his hand, consumed by the image Rex was painting for him. Rex picked up the lube from the bed, dripping more down his crack and then slicking up his cock.
“I fucked him again the next morning, he was still wet from the night before, and so loose I just slipped right in.”
Fives swore, hunching over on himself, ropes of come messing up his hand and the floor at his feet.
“And after all that talk.” Rex made a dismissive huff. “You couldn’t keep up, ARC.”
Cody wanted to kiss Rex, would have if he could have done it without distracted Rex from were he was finally getting ready to fuck him. His blood burned in anticipation, hot and pulsing under his skin. Fives panted to the side, seemingly run out of things to say.
Back on mission, Rex rearranged Cody to his liking, pulling him down the bed, lifting his thighs up onto Rex’s lap, forcing all weight up on his shoulders. It lined him up nicely, and deliberately denied Cody any angle to push back against Rex from, leaving Rex in control. Cody was spread completely open, entirely at Rex’s mercy and his heart pounded.
Rex gave him a hungry once over, eyes dilated. Cody wished he felt suave enough to smirk up at Rex, but with anticipation heavy in his chest, it was all he could manage not to start begging again. Rex traced a line down the v of Cody’s hip, his cock pressed hard up against Cody. If Cody had even a little leverage all it would have taken was the slightest shift to have Rex sliding into him.
Rex apparently had one last game in mind before he allowed that. “Vector, you wanted to see the Commander’s ass, come over here.”
Vector made a startled sound, jumping to feet in surprise. He shared a nervous look with his vode before stepping closer, wearily like he was expecting the offer to be withdrawn if he drew too much attention to himself. He wet his lips, eyes raking across Cody. He was hard in his blacks, the line of his cock obvious through the material and the seal of his blacks wasn’t lined up correctly, like he had had his hand shoved down them only a moment before and hadn’t had the time to lay them flat when he had hurriedly pulled it out.
Vector edged closer, until his knees were up against the bunk, looking over Rex, directly down Cody’s spread legs. One of the 212th boys, Sunny, if Cody remembered right, cautiously followed him, staring at Cody over Vector’s shoulder with an equally appreciative gaze.
Cody squirmed under their scrutiny, feeling a primal urge to cover himself. His cock pulsed with each beat of heart, a small pool of his pre come collecting on his abs. Rex moved, his cock head nudged against his entrance, but Rex seemed content just to tease him and Cody was in no position to do anything about it.
Well, almost no position.
“Please, Rex,” he whined, giving Rex the most heated look he could manage.
Rex gives Cody an unimpressed look, completely aware of what Cody’s game was. That didn’t mean he was immune.
“Please,” Cody said again, and Rex couldn’t hide how his dick twitched at the pleading. “It’s been weeks, Rex, please. ”
“He’s gorgeous,” Vector said, awed.
“Don’t talk about him like he’s not here, Vector,” Rex warned.
“You’re gorgeous, Sir,” Sunny said, before Vector had a chance to correct himself. “Never knew you were hiding all this under your armour.”
Cody was going to split into pieces if Rex didn’t fuck him that very second.
“Ready?” Rex asked. He was looking at Vector and Sunny, but Cody nodded anyway, squirming in Rex’s lap.
The head of Rex’s cock pressed up against his rim, until his body gave up its futile resistance and Rex breached him. He pushed into him in one smooth stroke, a motion that managed to be as breathtaking no matter how familiar it became. His mouth parted and his head fell back, exposing the long line of his neck. The only sound that escaped him was a shaky, extended exhale. So much of Rex’s bare skin was against his own, and he still wanted more, even filled to his limit he ached for more.
There was always something so utterly overwhelming about knowing Rex was inside him, touching him places he couldn’t touch himself even if he tried. Rex’s cock filled him in a way his fingers couldn’t, a perfect heat stretching him open and he didn’t think he would ever have enough of the feeling.
Were Vector and Sunny looking at where Rex’s body met his, where he stretched tight around Rex’s cock, his most intimate parts on complete display for them. Or would they have stared at his face, wanting to know exactly what expression Cody made when he was penetrated. Force, these men had to follow him into battle, trust their lives to his judgement and strategy. And now they would have to do it with the image of him being thoroughly fucked burned into their memories.
He wondered if he would be able to live it down if he came all over himself right then and there.
He could feel the weight of all the eyes on him, but couldn’t look away from Rex, and the way he was biting his lip to hold in his own groan, and the way his eyes had fallen shut, overwhelmed by the pleasure Cody’s body could give him. Cody was becoming rapidly addicted to how hot his men found him like this, but he wondered then how many of them wished they could be in his place instead of Rex’s, could be the person causing that expression on his face.
Anyone who wasn’t was an idiot; Cody was convinced he was getting the better end of the deal here.
“You feel so good, Codes,” Rex said, voice a little thin. “Fuck, you’re always so good.”
He pulled back slowly, dragging his cock against Cody’s insides until the head was catching on his rim. He thrust back in with a grunt and Cody arched up off the bed, keening high and frantic, clutching at the sheets with one hand and tugging hard at his own hair with the other, needing the bite of pain to make the overwhelming pleasure of being fucked open bearable.
“So tight,” Rex managed, between uneven breathing as he began a punishing pace with his hips, shoving deep into Cody each time.
“Rex,” Cody whimpered, “please.”
“Are you always this needy?” One of the troopers asked, and Cody couldn’t look away from Rex to check who. It didn’t matter much at this point.
“Yes,” he gasped. Rex slammed back into Cody, and Cody let out a choked off groan. “Every time.”
And he was, he supposed. Even over a year into their relationship, the fire Rex lit in his chest every time they fucked hadn’t faded. Every time they were together Cody was as eager for him as the last.
“Fucking desperate for me,” Rex said somehow making it sound dirty and sweet all at the same time. Cody reached out blindly, grasping at Rex’s hand on his hip, squeezing it firmly before Rex pulled it away. Before he could complain the hand circled his cock again and all possible complaints were consumed by the burning heat in his groin.
“More, Rex, harder, please.” Cody was only vaguely aware he was babbling, every passing thought that crossed his mind leaving his mouth. He wanted Rex to fuck him so hard he would feel it for weeks and something to that affect tumbled from his lips.
“You will, Cody, I promise.” Rex pressed deep into him, stretching him to his limit, making it abundantly clear he intended to follow through. “And everyone here is going to know why you’re walking funny.”
Cody moaned, deep in his chest.
“Harder” he demanded. “I want more, please. I can take it. Don’t hold out on me.”
Rex laughed, voice hitching every time he plunged into the tight heat of Cody. “I know you can.”
Rex shifted, putting his arms under Cody’s legs, pushing himself up onto his knees, lifting Cody’s lower half completely up and off the bed, folding him almost in half. The new angle was perfect.
Rex fucked into him with fresh force allowed by the position, dragging over his sensitive prostate with each thrust. His whole body felt taught, his orgasm building each time Rex bottomed out into him and each time Rex’s hand twisted over the head of his straining cock.
“Gonna make you come all over yourself,” Rex promised. “Gonna fuck you until you can’t stand. Is that what you want?”
“Yes, Rex,” he couldn’t think straight, couldn’t imagine anything beyond Rex.
“You ever get bored of him Commander and I’ll be happy to give you what you need. Trade him in for a younger model, ya know?”
Cody had almost forgotten Fives was even there and if he had any breath left in his lungs he would have laughed at the very possibility of what Fives was offering. The goading wasn’t meant for his reaction however, even if it was ultimately for his benefit. Rex snarled, slamming his cock back into Cody with an aggressive jerk of his hips.
Words abandoned Cody completely and he let out a wordless cry.
“Didn’t we already prove you couldn’t handle him, Fives?” Rex was setting the sort of relentless pace he would normally never be able to maintain but he was as encouraged by their audience as much as Cody was and seemed to have found new depths to himself.
In the very corner of Cody’s vision Fives gestured at his cock, already erect again. That man didn’t know when to quit; it was going to get him in trouble one of these days.
“Maybe you can’t go twice this quick, but they gave me a little extra.”
Rex laughed, sharp and mocking. “He has the entire Command batch to pick from, and he still picked me, what do you think that says about how well I fuck him? But you, three months out of ARC training thing you could satisfy Commander Fucking Cody? He’d eat you alive.”
“Rex,” Cody said, it felt like the first conscious choice he’d made about what left his mouth in a while. Rex was getting distracted, and Cody was feeling greedy; he wanted all of Rex’s attention for himself, he wanted the attention of every man in this room, but he needed Rex’s.
“I’d help,” Vector said suddenly, apparently rediscovering the conference he’d had at the start of the night. “Hold him down while Fives fucks him. Sunny could suck him off.”
Sunny made a pleased noise that made it very clear what he made of that idea.
Rex growled, fixing Vector with a glare, one he had learnt from Cody himself, that was normally enough to scare anyone with an ounce of self-preservation into silence; Cody was almost honoured that the desire to fuck him was enough to make that include almost no one in the room as the increasingly detailed mutterings of how they would take him apart didn’t pause even for a second.
“Can you imagine the sounds he’d make if you edged him? He was begging almost before Rex touched him, imagine if you denied him for hours. He’s be so fucking pretty that desperate,” a 501st man said.
“Forget that, I want to see how he looks three orgasms in and being worked up to another one, so thoroughly fucked he can’t even hold himself upright.” And that was definitely Lieutenant Janad.
Rex pushed deep into Cody, balls resting up against Cody’s ass, abandoning the promised hard fucking to grind deep inside Cody while he put their increasingly bold audience in their place.
Cody bit back a grin, everything felt so good, Rex surrounding him, Fives posturing, the impossible mix of reverence and debasement from his men. But he wanted to come, and Rex needed to be brought back to task. Di'kut the lot of them.
“Hardly a brag that you need three men to do the job I do alone. If you thin-”
Cody clenched hard  around Rex’s cock and he interrupted his monologue with a shocked gasp, curling forward, almost losing his balance and toppling onto Cody. Fives failed to fully stifle his laugh and Rex gave Cody a betrayed look.
Cody laughed breathily, pulling Rex down to kiss him.
“I was doing a thing,” Rex grumbled, but accepted the kiss.
“You’re an idiot.” Cody kissed him again. “I love you.”
Rex huffed out a laugh of his own. He held Cody’s face between his hands, their audience momentarily forgotten. The warmth in Rex’s eyes, and the fond curl to his lip affected Cody more than perhaps anything else Rex had given him that evening.
“That’s kinda  sweet actually,” Janad said to some murmured agreement.
“Show them,” Cody said, hands roaming across Rex’s shoulders and down his chest, touching him everywhere he could reach. “Show them how well you fuck me, please, Rex, I’m close.”
Rex bit at Cody’s mouth, catching his lip between sharp teeth and tugging before pulling back to give him the best angle. Rex had brought him close a couple of times already, each time backing off before Cody could come, but there was a determination that made it clear Cody wasn’t going to have to wait much longer.
“I want to see him break,” Nebula said. He had stood from his bunk, him and a couple others joining Vector and Sunny crowding the bottom of the bed, leering at Cody over Rex’s shoulder. Cody glanced at each of them but his gaze was pulled back to Rex as his partner hiked his hips even higher.
It was barely even a stretch now when Rex pulled most of the way out of him only to slid that burning heat deep back inside. There was lube leaking out around Rex’s cock and coating the inside of Cody’s thighs and a line of pre-come sliding down from his cock towards his chest, more pumped out with each thrust of Rex’s hips and slide of his hand.
It didn’t take much before he was right on the cusp of coming again, each time Rex moved inside him punching a sound out of Cody’s throat. He felt like he had been hard for hours. He jerked up into Rex’s hand, muscles tightening as his orgasm grew, his thighs trembling with the strain of it. Rex was close too, could feel it in the way Rex was holding him and see it in the set of his jaw. Cody tightened around Rex’s cock, his own dick twitching at the low groan it pulled from Rex.
“Just like that, Cody,” Rex said, “You feel so good.”
“Rex,” he managed, the tension throughout his body growing to almost too much. He was already past the point of no return, caught between the heat of Rex inside him, and the heat of Rex’s hand around him. He grabbed at Rex’s shoulders as he came with a wordless moan, the building heat and strain across his body hitting the edge he’d been chasing all night. He tumbled over it, his muscles relaxing all at once as his orgasm hit him, an intoxicating mix of relief and intensity. Pleasure coiled outward, his whole body suddenly warm and lax.
One of the watching clones swore colourfully.
Rex’s pace stuttered, as Cody broke underneath him, the scene all but forgotten. He managed only a couple more thrusts into Cody before he hit own limit and came with a choked off cry of Cody’s name. He spilt deep inside Cody, hips flush together, dropping Cody’s legs as he was overtaken by his own pleasure.
Come streaked up Cody’s chest almost to his neck, hands dropping from Rex, eyes closed as he rode out the aftershocks. He collapsed into the damp sheets, his chest heaving as he tried to catch his breath. Rex hunched over him, his own breathing equally laboured, head resting on Cody’s shoulder. They were still for a moment, the room either finally stunned to silence or Cody was just too out of it to hear. Rex pressed a clumsy open mouthed kiss to the side of Cody’s neck, the strength in his hold on Cody evaporating in post-orgasm bonelessness.
Cody clutched at Rex’s shoulders, to ground himself, a reminder that he was flesh and blood and not about to slip away into nothing. It had been a long time since he’d come like that.
The noise of the room around them slipped back in, the familiar sound of masturbating and men following their example and finding someone to help them get off.  Cody felt lightheaded.
He clasped his hands behind Rex’s head pulling him out from his neck to kiss him, as uncoordinated and lazy as Rex’s own attempts.
“Love you,” he mumbled into Rex’s mouth, feeling Rex’s lips curl against his.
“Love you too.” Rex paused, and made a face. “But I’m also going to cramp, hold on.”
Cody grinned, laughter bubbling in chest.
Rex pulled out of him, bringing lube and come with him, dipping out down the inside of Cody’s legs and onto the bed below. One of Rex’s favourite tricks was to turn Cody over and eat his own mess out of Cody’s sloppy hole, but even after sharing far more of his sex life with his men than he had ever intended Cody felt he would rather that habit remain between just them. The sheets were already filthy with sweat anyway, what was a little more bodily fluid?
Rex didn’t seem up it either way, as immediately upon extracting himself from Cody flopped back down on top of him. Cody stroked the softness of his buzzed hair. Rex hummed happily.
Someone came with a loud groan of what Cody suspected was his own name. He had assumed that once he had come, and he was no longer thinking more with his cock than his head he would feel embarrassed by his actions - real embarrassment, the sort that tied his stomach in knots, not the embarrassment they had played with in the scene, where the scandal was half of the fun - but despite his concern he was still utterly relaxed. He was going to get shit for this once the CCs found out, and they would, they always did, but he felt like he would be able to shrug it off and very honestly say it had been worth it.
It might even be better for how annoyed Fox would be.
“You good, Cody?” Rex asked.
He nodded.
“Yeah, just, uh, it was a lot.” Cody said. “You?”
Rex hummed again, a deep, satisfied noise. “I’m fantastic.”
There was the sound of footsteps and Blue was standing over him, normally messy hair even messier.  Rex propped himself up on one elbow, glaring at the man who had dared interrupt their post-orgasm bliss. He was mollified almost immediately.
“Here, Sir.” Blue handed Rex a damp cloth and Cody remembered exactly why this man was being considered for a promotion. Cody decided to pretend he was imagining the dark spot on the groin of Blue’s blacks.
“Vector and Sunny look like they are doubling up if you want a clean bunk.” Blue gestured to a bed across the room.
“Thank you,” Rex said, also seemingly a little lost on how he should interact with everyone now the scene had ended.
Blue had no such reservations and saluted Rex, rotated just enough so that he was facing Cody’s straight on and clicked his heels in a second salute, as though Cody wasn’t still naked on his back, lube and come dribbling from his asshole.
Utterly unflappable.
And he would rather like to take Blue up on that offer of the bunk; he had outgrown sleeping on dirty sheets.
The cloth was cool against his overheated skin as Rex wiped up first the mess he’d made on his stomach and then down between Cody’s legs. He inhaled sharply as the cloth passed between his checks and over his sensitive rim, but even the most insatiable parts of him agreed that they were done for the night. Finally, folding the cloth over on itself to find a still clean section Rex gave his own crotch a once over. It wasn’t really enough, they were both still covered in a fine sheen of sweat, but Cody didn’t think his legs would hold him long enough to shower, even if he could face the communal freshers.
He’d been naked around enough of his men for one night.
“You want some water, Commander?” Fives asked, because apparently everyone was desperate to be helpful now. It was reassuring in a lot of ways, he wouldn’t know if he’d completely fucked up the chain of command until later, but now the scene had ended everyone seemed to be falling back into something that resembled polite interaction.
“Thank you.” He pushed himself upright, untangling himself from Rex only after reminding himself it would only be for a minute before he could cuddle up against him again, all the better for a clean bed and a cold drink.
Rex didn’t let him go very fair anyway, shifting to sit up against him, pressed together from thigh to shoulder.
Cody took the offered water bottle, noting absently that his hands were shaking just a little. He drank the cold water gratefully, very aware of his body’s needs now that they had finished. He wouldn’t have said no to something to eat either but sleep, and crawling back on top of Rex felt more immediately pressing.
He passed the bottle over to Rex who took a grateful couple of mouthfuls of his own.
“Something to be said for delegating the aftercare,” Rex said, nudging Cody’s shoulder with his own.
Cody snorted. “Maybe we should always have a shiny on hand to bring us fresh bedding and hand feed us fruit after sex.”
Fives opened his mouth to say something, but Cody shot him a look and he wisely snapped his mouth shut. Wordlessly, Fives took the empty water bottle back. It was nice to know publicly begging for cock hadn’t robbed him of his ability to glare men into silence.
“Fresh blacks for both of you on Vector’s bunk, Sir,” Janad called from across the room.
“Not sure about morale, but it certainly seems to have improved inter-battalion coordination,” Rex said, sounding genuinely impressed.
Cody rolled his eyes, painfully fond. “The 212th and 501st worked together just fine before I got my dick out.”
Rex laughed and stood, pulling Cody after him by his hand as he crossed the room over to Vector’s bunk
“I don’t know, I certainly feel like the inter-battalion coordination of certain officers is improved when you get your dick out.”
Cody groaned but didn’t try to hide is smile
Passing Rex the bottom half of one of the sets of clean blacks before climbing into his own, struggling with sluggish limbs that didn’t want to work the way he expected them to. He left the shirts folded at the bottom of the bed, sinking down into what passed as a mattress, tugging Rex impatiently after him. It only took them a second to arrange themselves how they wanted, cuddled up against each other.
“That was good,” Rex said, tracing aimless shapes onto the skin of Cody’s back. “Didn’t expect to get so into it.”
“If they don’t keep us up all night with their attempts to recreate our best hits, maybe we can give them another show in the morning,” Cody teased.
Rex’s chest rumbled under Cody’s head as he laughed. “Don’t say that too loud, they’ll get ideas.”
Cody grinned. He could think of worse outcomes.
