Your flatmate and best friend Rhaenyra invites you along with her group of friends on a summer holiday to Dorne. In the group is the gorgeous Gwayne. Is it the heat or is he checking you out?

Word Count: 2.2k

Themes: SMUT, very indulgent smut, rough p in v, praise, semi-public sex, creampie, content warning of alcohol, lots of fluffy love too

• • • • • • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • • • •

You've been looking forward to this trip for weeks, but now that it's finally here, you can't help but feel a twinge of anxiety. After all, you're flying to Sunspear in Dorne with a group of people who are practically strangers to you. Sure, your best friend and flatmate Rhaenyra Targaryen will be there, but her friends are a mix of old schoolmates, some of whom you've only met in passing. You know that, just like Rhaenyra, they're all unfairly cool and chic.

You’re sitting on the edge of your bed, stuffing the last of your essentials into your suitcase, when Rhaenyra bursts into the room with a vibrant energy only she possesses. Her long silver hair is tied up in a messy bun, sunglasses perched on her nose, and a grin spreads across her face.

"Are you ready for the best holiday ever?" she asks, practically bouncing on her toes. She flops onto your bed, grabbing your hot pink bikini from the bed and wiggling her eyebrows.

"As ready as I'll ever be," you reply with a giggle. "I'm just hoping I won't be the odd one out."

"Nonsense! Everyone's going to love you. Just wait until you meet them. Criston is a riot, Alicent is a sweetie, the siblings Laena and Laenor are the life of any party. Oh, and Gwayne is coming too—Alicent's brother. You remember him, right?"

Vaguely, you think. You've seen him at a couple of Rhaenyra's gatherings. Tall, handsome, with a laid-back charming demeanour that contrasts with his sister's quieter and more reserved nature. You recall his wry smile and the way he watches the room as though he's in on a joke no one else knows. There’s something about him, something you can’t quite put your finger on.

As you make your way to the airport, Rhaenyra rambles on about her plans for the week. She’s planned for days on the beach lounging in the Dornish sun and nights out on the town drinking. Your worries slowly dissolve in the anticipation of the warmth and adventure awaiting in Dorne.

• • • • • • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • • • •

You step out of the airport into the sultry Dornish air, feeling the sun's heat embrace you like an old friend. The group has already assembled—Criston Cole, tall and charismatic, with a smirk and brash humour; Alicent Hightower, elegant and serene, her presence calming like the ocean breeze you can already feel; Laena Velaryon, with hair as wild as the ocean, whose laughter is contagious; and her brother Laenor, who immediately makes you feel at ease with a light hug and smile.

And then there's Gwayne.

You notice him standing off to the side, leaning against the huge rental car (thank the Gods Rhaenyra is rich), a lazy smile spreading across his lips as he catches sight of you. He has an air of effortless charm, like someone who doesn't need to try too hard to make an impression—and from the way his eyes linger on you and your heart races, it's clear that he's made one on you.

“Welcome to Dorne,” he says, extending a hand to help you with your luggage. His touch is firm yet gentle, and you feel an unexpected thrill at the contact.

“Thanks,” you manage, smiling back. “It’s good to be here.”

Rhaenyra claps her hands, pulling everyone’s attention back to her. “Alright, folks! Let’s get this party started!” Criston whoops loudly, winding his arms around yours and Alicent's shoulders, walking towards the car.

• • • • • • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • • • •

The massive beach house you’re staying in is a dream come true. Nestled on the coast with a panoramic view of the glittering sea, it has enough room for everyone, plus some. The ocean breeze filters through the open windows, carrying with it the scent of salt and orange blossoms.

Your days quickly fall into a blissful rhythm. Each morning begins with a lazy breakfast on the terrace, the laughter and chatter of your friends setting the tone for the rest of the day. Rhaenyra is the queen of leisure, leading the group in a daily swim as soon as the sun reaches its peak.

One afternoon, as you laze under the sun, you find yourself alongside Gwayne. He's reclined on a deck chair next to you, sunglasses shielding his eyes from the sun’s glare. The two of you have drifted into a companionable silence, occasionally exchanging thoughts about the holiday.

“Do you ever feel like you belong in a place you’ve never been to before?” he asks suddenly, turning to you. The sincerity in his voice surprises you.

You nod, considering his words. “Yeah, I do. There’s something about Dorne—it's different from anywhere else.”

Gwayne smiles, his gaze thoughtful. “I think you fit here. With us.”

The words make your heart skip a beat. You hold his gaze, the air between you charged with an unspoken understanding.

• • • • • • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • • • •

Nighttime in Dorne is a different beast altogether. The group descends upon the local beach bars, eager to get as drunk as possible on zesty cocktails.

Criston, ever the instigator, orders round after round of drinks for the group, insisting on trying every concoction on the menu. The Valyrian Blaze cocktail is bright red, spicy, and strong enough to burn as it goes down, while the Winterfell Chill is a stark contrast, with its cool minty freshness. You yourself favour the delicious Dornish wines, the Stormlands sangria taking the cake.

You find yourself next to Gwayne again, both of you leaning against the bar, both trying a drink that seems to be some unholy blend of dragonfruit and tequila. The laughter from your friends fills the air, mixing with the sound of the waves crashing in the distance and tropical music playing in the bar.

"These are dangerous," you comment, swirling the colourful drink in your glass.

Gwayne chuckles, taking a sip from his own glass. "That's the point, isn’t it? To let loose and forget about everything for a while."

His eyes lock onto yours, and the intensity of his gaze sends a shiver down your spine.

"I suppose you're right," you reply, your voice barely above a whisper.

As the night wears on, the drinks take effect. Everyone is dancing now, the rhythmic beats of the music vibrating through the air. You join in, feeling the weight of your worries lift as you move to the rhythm, hips swaying, and sandals gliding across the floor.

At some point, Gwayne finds you on the dance floor, his movements in sync with yours. There's a magnetism between you, an undeniable pull that keeps drawing you closer. The music slows, and without missing a beat, he slips an arm around your waist, guiding you in a gentle sway.

The sun is setting as you and the group make your way back to the beach house. The day has been long, but the energy is still buzzing among your friends. As you approach the entrance, you hear Rhaenyra’s voice rise above the chatter.

"Right, everyone, it's surfing and a seafood meal out tomorrow!"

Everyone sounds out their approval, and plans are quickly made for an early morning departure. But for now, the night is still young, and you find yourself wandering the grounds outside of the beach house, needing a moment to yourself whilst the others head to bed.

Or at least you think you're alone until you hear footsteps on the sand behind you.

"Couldn't sleep?" Gwayne's voice cuts through the darkening sky, smooth and inviting. He steps into view, and even in the low light, you can see the amusement dancing in his eyes.

"Just needed some air," you admit, sighing lightly. "It's been a long day."

He nods, falling into step beside you. Wordlessly, his hand slips into yours and guides you towards the Water Gardens that lie adjacent to the beach house. Together, you walk through the gardens, the scent of jasmine and sea salt heavy in the air. There’s a tranquillity here that contrasts with the vibrant chaos of earlier, and it offers a quiet intimacy between you and Gwayne.

"These gardens are beautiful," you muse, your voice barely above a whisper.

Gwayne stops walking, turning to face you fully. "They are," he agrees, his gaze steady on yours. "But not as beautiful as you." His hand comes up to gently brush some hair from your face and rests on your blushing cheek.

The words hang between you, heavy with meaning. In the next breath, he closes the distance between you, his lips capturing yours in a kiss that is both gentle and insistent. It’s a moment that feels like it’s been building from the instant you laid eyes on each other, a culmination of unspoken desire fuelled by the Dornish summer.

Gwayne pulls you closer, deepening the kiss, and you can feel the heat radiating from him like the sun you’ve spent all day under. His hands are firm on your back, anchoring you against him in a way that feels both possessive and tender.

Before you realize it, you're backing up toward the edge of the garden where a small, secluded pool lies hidden among the lush foliage. The water shimmers under the sunset, inviting and cool.

Gwayne breaks the kiss first, his breathing uneven, eyes searching yours for permission. There’s a question in his gaze, an unspoken invitation to take this moment further.

You answer with a nod, slipping off your purple sun dress as he unclothes, and with a shared smile, the two of you slip into the water. It’s cool against your sun-warmed skin, a welcome reprieve. The coolness tingles against the building fire between your legs.

Gwayne pulls you into him again, his lips tracing a path down your neck as you wrap your arms around him. The water laps around you, creating a rhythm that matches the steady pulse of your heart. His hands explore your body with a reverence that makes you feel cherished, desired in a way that’s almost intoxicating.

Gasping lightly, you reach beneath the water to feel his cock, hard and thick in your hands. He moans against your neck, standing on the floor of the pool, pushing you up against the pool wall. You instinctively wrap your legs around him, moaning as his hardness presses against your aching pussy.

He looks at you, asking if he can continue. You nod slightly, feeling a shiver of lust as his hands grip your ass tight and his cock nudges against your slickness. He pushes inside smoothly, holding you tightly for what feels like an age as your pussy flutters around him. He murmers sweet words into your hair, caressing you, cherishing you.

"You feel divine, you look divine, my angel, let me make you feel good." Gwayne rumbles against your lips. You nod desperately, feeling so full and loved.

He thrusts against your wetness, sending the cool shimmering water rippling. Your head lolls back, lips parted, as Gwayne bestows kiss after kiss on your tender neck and collarbone as his cock pounds your pussy hard in a measured pace.

His fingers sneak between your legs to touch your clit reverently. Gwayne circles your clit delicately, and whilst you enjoy his worship, you want more.

You kiss him, hard, and bite his lip, not hard but enough to make his eyes widen.

"Gwayne," you beg. "Fuck me, please. I need you to show me how much you want me." Your pussy weeps as his hips slam harder. He leans over you, eyes ablaze and a smirk curling across his lips. You mewl helplessly.

"My angel, I'd love nothing more." He snaps his hips, rubbing your clit more urgently now. You feel the warmth of an orgasm licking inside as his teeth brand marks across your neck. Your fingernails scratch against his muscled back as Gwayne moans.

The water ripples quicker now as he fucks you hard and fast, kissing across your cheeks and nose.

"My pretty baby," he rasps. "So good for me, pussy so good for my cock. Gonna cum, gotta make you cum my angel."

You cry out in agreement, hips bucking wildly as his fingers and cock draw out a searing orgasm from you. His head falls to your shoulders as he cums, thick white cum filling up inside you.

You both stay there for a while, kissing each other softly and stroking hands through each others hair. Gwayne's eyes are shining in the moonlight as you seal your lips under the stars.

• • • • • • • • • • • • ✦ • • • • • • • • • • • •

The next morning, the pair of you are greeted with whoops and hollers from the rest of the group as you walk into the kitchen hand in hand. You bashfully smile as Gwayne proudly kisses your cheek. Criston pats him on the back in congratulations.

"I'll make you an iced coffee." Gwayne says, pecking your lips. Laena pretends to gag but throws a cheeky smile at you.

Rhaenyra sidles up next to you, offering you a brioche, looking far too smug. You roll your eyes.

"Glad you came now?" She asks, hip bumping you. You glance over at Gwayne, who is chatting with Laenor but looking at you reverently.

"Yes I am."

Wedding Day

-Cody is an emotional man, so it really is no surprise if y/n is walking down the aisle in her beautiful white gown & he starts bawling when he sees y/n first thing, he really can’t help himself when it comes to the woman he’s so deeply in love with

-He’s very strict about his wedding especially when it comes to y/n, his wants & needs are more so the last thing he wants to get into for planning since he wants to put y/n first & make it just as magical & special as he possibly can for his bride

-Again he’s emotional so during the after party he can’t help but sit at the couples designated table and sit back and see you from afar & admire you with his tears

-for cake he just wanted something pretty simple & easily transported to the venue so he got the original white wedding cake with the bride & groom toppers since neither of them wanted something complicated and extravagant for a sweet treat

-Cody would easily be pouty if one singular person kept preventing y/n from having her special time with your newly wedded husband

-The dance between y/n & Cody looks emotional from afar but up close y/n is busy trying to get her husbands crap together “Baby your crying” “I know just give me a minute” He’s a cancer.

Honeymoon

-Y/N & Cody had their honeymoon set in greece, they’re little rental home was right on a private beach so Cody obviously took those perks to his advantage after a long day of swimming

-The first day Y/N & Cody landed in greece they spent half of the first day in bed. Asleep. Jet lag is NOT friendly whatsoever

-Cody is a very romantic person for the first part but when he gets the opportunity he can be a little childish especially when they’re in the water “Hey babe? “Yea-“ SPLASH

-after a very long day of exploring, swimming, he takes most of the night as an opportunity for sex, everyday throughout the honeymoon & He definitely talks Y/N through an orgasm “I know your tired angel just one more for me yeah? think you can do that for me angel? Of course you can babydoll your perfect” “such a good girl for me baby, go ahead beautiful cum for me, i know it’s too much isn’t it? But it feels so fucking good doesn’t it angel.”

-for the last day in Greece it’s definitely one of those days where they both explore everywhere & dreading the time to go back home

-Y/N is very explorative when there’s farmers markets around so when they found one in a plaza she immediately started scurrying around the entire market while Cody struggled to keep up

summary: summertime in The Hamptons leads to a budding romance...

wc: 3,028 words

"I still can't believe you managed to find us such a swanky rental," you giggled at your friend, Jamie, as you stepped into the luxury house that was nestled away in The Hamptons. The walls were painted in a cool, beachy white, and the smell of freshly cut grass and lemon cleaner filled the space. The floorboards groaned slightly underfoot, echoing the promise of lazy days and wild nights ahead.

Jamie shot you a knowing smile. "What can I say? Sometimes, being a travel agent has its perks." The house was indeed a steal for the season, boasting an expansive backyard that led directly to the beach, a hot tub that was already bubbling invitingly, and a fully stocked kitchen that made you want to throw a dinner party every night.

You set down your bags and took a moment to appreciate the view from the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. The sun was setting over the ocean, casting a warm, golden glow across the waves. The horizon looked like a canvas painted with a watercolor wash of pinks and oranges. You felt a gentle breeze waft in, carrying the salty scent of the sea. It was the perfect escape from the stifling city heat.

"Let's grab some drinks and hit the beach," Jamie suggested, tossing you a beach towel. You nodded eagerly, feeling the excitement of the vacation bubble up inside you. The two of you walked out the back door and down the short wooden staircase to the sand. The grains felt warm and soft underfoot as you laid your towel on the sand and pulled out a novel you'd been dying to read. The waves rolled in, a rhythmic soundtrack to the quiet evening that was quickly filling with the distant laughter of other vacationers.

As you settled in, you could hear the faint sounds of laughter and a beach ball bouncing in the distance. You glanced over to see a group of people playing beach volleyball, their shadows stretching long across the sand.

Shrugging your shoulders, you diverted your attention back to your novel, eager to dive into the story between the pages. Well, all was going well until you heard someone yell out, "Heads up!"

You looked up just in time to see a beach ball flying towards you. Instinctively, you reached out and caught it, feeling the rough texture and coolness against your palms.

You turned to see who had thrown it, and that's when you saw him: Alexis Lafreniere. He was jogging over, a sheepish grin on his face, with a group of friends in tow. "Sorry about that," he said, his French-Canadian accent making your heart skip a beat. "Are you okay?”

You felt your cheeks flush as you nodded, holding onto the beach ball. "Yeah, I'm fine," you replied, trying to sound calmer than you felt.

Alexis looked relieved and chuckled. "Good catch," he said, closing the distance between you. His eyes were a warm brown, and his brown hair was a wild mess from the wind. He stuck out his hand. "I'm Alexis.”

You took his hand, feeling the firm grip and the warmth that radiated from his skin. "Nice to meet you," you said, your voice a tad shakier than you'd have liked. "I'm…" But before you could say your name, one of his friends called out, "Laf, come on! We need you back!”

With an apologetic look, Alexis took the beach ball from you. "I'd love to chat more, but we're in the middle of a game. Maybe I'll catch you around?" He didn't wait for your response before he turned and sprinted back to the volleyball match.

You watched him go, his athletic build moving with ease across the sand. As the game resumed, you couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that he didn't ask for your name. You shrugged it off, telling yourself it was probably for the best.

The days in the Hamptons passed in a blur of sunscreen, salt water, and late-night bonfires. You and Jamie had made a pact to enjoy every moment, and you both stuck to it. The group playing beach volleyball every evening grew familiar, their laughter a comforting background to your own adventures. But Alexis remained elusive, always disappearing before you had the chance to approach him again.

\\\

One sun-kissed afternoon, you found yourself at the local ice cream shop, the bell jingling as you stepped inside. The walls were adorned with vintage posters of surfers and sailboats, and the smell of fresh waffle cones filled the air. You scanned the flavors, feeling the anticipation of choosing the perfect one to cool off with. That's when you heard it again - that accent. You turned around to see Alexis standing behind you, a sheepish look on his face as he realized you'd caught him.

"Hey," he said, running a hand through his hair. "It's you. From the beach. With the good catch." His smile was as warm as the day outside, and you felt your heart do a little flip. "I've been hoping to run into you again.”

You couldn't help but return the smile. "Well, you found me," you said, trying to play it cool. "What brings you here?”

Alexis shrugged. "Just needed a break from the heat. You know, the usual." His eyes searched yours, looking for something unspoken. "I've seen you around the beach, but I never got the chance to talk. I've been wanting to apologize for that. I'm usually not so… abrupt.”

You laughed it off, feeling a flutter in your chest. "It's fine. I've been pretty busy enjoying the sun and the waves." You paused, then took a risk. "So, are you staying in the area for long?"

Alexis nodded. "Yeah, l've got a place here for the summer. I try to get out of the city as much as I can." His eyes searched yours for a moment, and you felt a spark of curiosity. He was famous, but here, he was just a guy trying to escape the heat with an ice cream cone.

"What about you?" he asked, breaking the silence. "What brings you to the Hamptons?" You leaned against the counter, feeling the coolness of the marble seep through your shirt.

"Just a summer vacation with my bestie," you replied, gesturing towards Jamie, who was chatting with the cashier. "We wanted to get out of the city and enjoy some beach time.”

Alexis nodded, his gaze lingering on you before looking away. "It's a great place for that," he said, his eyes scanning the ice cream flavors. "So, what's your go-to?”

You pointed to the mint chocolate chip. "Can't go wrong with that," you said with a grin.

Alexis nodded thoughtfully. "Good choice. I'l have the same," he told the cashier, then turned back to you. "Would you like to sit outside?" He gestured to the small patio with a few tables scattered under an umbrella.

You felt a rush of excitement. "Sure," you said, trying to keep your cool. As you stepped outside, the warm sun kissed your skin, and you found yourself hoping it wasn't about to turn into a sweaty mess. Alexis pulled out a chair for you, and you sat down, watching as he did the same.

You both licked at your mint chocolate chip cones, the sweetness a stark contrast to the salty ocean air.

"So, are you guys here for the whole summer?" Alexis asked, breaking the ice between you.

You took a bite of your ice cream, the mint and chocolate a delightful blend on your tongue.

"We're here for a couple of weeks," you replied, hoping you didn't sound too eager. "It's our annual escape from reality.”

Alexis laughed, a deep, rich sound that made you want to lean closer. "I get that," he said, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "It's nice to just… be, you know?”

You nodded, feeling the beginnings of a connection. "Yeah, I do," you said, your voice a little softer than you intended.

Alexis's eyes searched yours, and for a moment, it was as if the rest of the world had disappeared. "You guys should come to our beach party tonight," he said, his voice low and inviting. "It's nothing crazy, just some friends and a bonfire.”

Your heart raced, and you felt a jolt of excitement. "That sounds amazing," you replied, trying to keep the eagerness from your voice. "What time?”

Alexis leaned back in his chair, his eyes still locked on yours. "It starts around eight. Just follow the sound of the music and the smell of the bonfire. It's not hard to miss." He took a bite of his ice cream, the chocolate chips glinting in the sun.

You couldn't believe your luck. "We'll definitely be there," you said, trying to keep the excitement from spilling over.

Alexis nodded, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Great," he said. "I'l make sure to save you a spot by the fire.”

The rest of the afternoon passed in a blur of excitement and preparation. You and Jamie spent hours picking out the perfect outfits and getting ready for the night ahead. The anticipation was palpable, a mix of nerves and excitement that had you checking the time on your phone every few minutes.

\\\

Finally, the sun began to dip below the horizon, casting the sky in a tapestry of oranges and purples. You and Jamie made your way down to the beach, the sound of the waves and distant laughter growing louder with each step. As you approached the bonfire, you could see the flickering flames and the silhouettes of people dancing around it. The smell of roasting marshmallows and woodsmoke filled the air, making your stomach rumble.

Alexis spotted you before you saw him, waving from the edge of the light. He was dressed casually in board shorts and a white t-shirt, his feet buried in the sand. You felt a flutter in your chest as he made his way over, his smile growing wider as he approached. "You came," he said, his eyes lighting up.

You nodded, feeling the heat from the bonfire warming your face. "We couldn't miss it," you replied, trying to sound casual.

Alexis took your hand, leading you through the crowd to a spot he'd reserved. "I'm so happy you're here," he said, his voice sincere. The warmth of his hand sent a thrill down your spine, and you couldn't help but squeeze his fingers gently in return.

The party was in full swing, with music playing from a portable speaker and people of all ages mingling around the fire. You recognized some of the faces from the beach volleyball games, but there were plenty of new faces too. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, the kind of gathering that made you feel like you'd been coming here for years.

Alexis introduced you to his friends, who were all welcoming and curious about the newcomer. You chatted and laughed, sharing stories of past summers and the thrill of escaping the city. The fire crackled and popped, casting a warm glow over everyone's faces. As the night grew darker, the stars began to appear, twinkling like diamonds scattered across a velvet sky.

You watched as Alexis interacted with his friends, his ease and charm evident in every gesture and word. When he turned to you, his eyes held a warmth that made you feel seen and appreciated. You found yourself sharing stories of your childhood and hopes for the future more than you usually would with a stranger. His questions were thoughtful, and his laugh was genuine.

The party began to wind down as the night grew later, and the group around the bonfire grew smaller. The stars grew brighter, and the crackling fire painted shadows on the sand. Alexis leaned closer, the heat from his body a comforting warmth against the cooling night air. "Would you like to take a walk?" he asked, his voice a soft whisper that sent a shiver down your spine.

You nodded, unable to hide the smile that had been playing on your lips all evening.

\\\

Hand in hand, you strolled along the beach, the waves whispering secrets as they kissed the shore. The moon was a silver crescent, casting a soft glow that danced on the water's surface. The sound of the party grew faint behind you, replaced by the rhythmic pulse of the ocean.

"This is incredible," you murmured, feeling the cool sand between your toes.

Alexis nodded in agreement, his eyes never leaving yours. "It's one of my favorite things about being out here. The quiet moments when you can just listen to the ocean.”

You let the sound of the waves wash over you, the saltwater breeze playing with your hair. The stars above twinkled with a clarity that was impossible to find in the city, and the darkness of the night wrapped around you like a comforting blanket. The tension between you was palpable, a delicate dance of attraction that neither of you wanted to acknowledge outright.

As you strolled further down the beach, the moonlight reflected off the waves, creating a path of shimmering light that led you to a secluded cove. Alexis stopped, turning to face you, his hand still holding yours. "It's beautiful here," he said, his eyes searching yours.

You nodded, feeling the butterflies in your stomach. "It really is," you replied, your voice barely audible over the whispers of the tide.

Alexis took a step closer, and you could feel the warmth of his breath against your cheek. The air was thick with unspoken words, and the scent of the bonfire lingered on his skin. His eyes searched yours, and for a moment, you thought he might lean in for a kiss. Instead, he tugged on your hand, leading you closer to the water's edge.

The waves lapped gently at your feet, the cool water a stark contrast to the warm sand. You watched as the moon's reflection danced in the ripples, creating a dazzling pattern that stretched out to the horizon. The silence between you was comfortable, filled with the steady rhythm of the ocean and the occasional call of a night bird. You felt a sense of peace that was rare in the bustling city life you were used to.

Alexis released your hand and took a seat on a piece of driftwood, patting the spot next to him. You sat down, feeling the wood's smoothness against your legs, the salt and sea-worn edges digging in slightly. The warmth of his body was a comforting presence beside you, and you couldn't help but lean in slightly, feeling the electricity in the air.

For a moment, you both just sat there, watching the waves play in the moonlight. The silence stretched out, filled with the sound of the ocean's whispers and the distant laughter from the party. It was as if the universe had paused just for you two, the rest of the world fading away into the background.

Alexis turned to you, his eyes searching yours. "You know," he began, his voice low and earnest, "I've been thinking about you a lot since that first day on the beach.”

You felt your heart skip a beat, unsure of how to respond. "I've… I've thought about you too," you admitted, the words tumbling out before you could stop them.

Alexis's smile grew, reaching his eyes. "I'm really glad to hear that," he said, his voice warm and sincere. He reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, his touch sending a shiver down your neck. "You know, I don't usually do this sort of thing," he began, his gaze dropping to your lips.

You felt your breath hitch, the anticipation building in your chest. "What sort of thing?" you asked, your voice barely a whisper.

Alexis leaned in, his gaze never leaving yours. "This," he murmured, before his lips met yours in a soft, gentle kiss. The taste of mint chocolate lingered on his mouth, mingling with the salty tang of the sea air. Your heart raced as you melted into the moment, the feel of his hands on your arms anchoring you to the present. It was a kiss filled with promise and hope, a whisper of what could be.

When you pulled back, the world felt different somehow. The stars seemed closer, the ocean's whispers more intimate. You searched his eyes for reassurance and a sign that this was real. Alexis's gaze was steady, his smile warm and inviting. "I've wanted to do that since the first time I saw you," he admitted, his thumb brushing against your cheek.

You felt a blush creep up your neck, your heart racing in your chest. "I've wanted it too," you murmured, your voice barely above the sound of the waves. The air was charged with a tension that was both thrilling and terrifying. You didn't know where this was going but didn't want it to end.

Alexis leaned in again, his lips brushing against yours in a soft, tender kiss that made your toes curl. His hands moved to the small of your back, pulling you closer, and you melted into him, feeling the heat of his body against yours. It was as if the universe had conspired to bring you to this moment, under the stars with the sound of the ocean as your soundtrack.

When the kiss ended, you both sat there for a moment, the only sound the gentle whoosh of the waves. Alexis's hand remained on the small of your back, his thumb tracing small circles that sent delightful shivers down your spine. You took a deep breath, filling your lungs with the scent of the sea and the faint hint of his cologne.

"Thank you for walking with me," he whispered, his eyes never leaving yours.

You nodded, unable to find the words to express the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside you. You felt a strange mix of excitement and fear, knowing that this could be the start of something beautiful or just a fleeting summer fling.

3.88 So special

Sophia and I had a full day of wedding prep ahead, so I woke up early the next morning to take Rosie out for a nice, long walk. Even though we've taken the dogs pretty much everywhere we went over the past few days, I felt like I had neglected them. So much had gone on, and I didn't have time to give them my focused attention and wouldn't be able to for the next few days. Since Rosie was the energetic one, I figured she'd appreciate some one-on-one time outside.

Our day began with instructions from Mama to meet her at an address in Tartosa. It was a house on a hill with a breathtaking view of the ocean and close access to nearby shops and beaches. The place was beautiful, but why were we there?

"What is this place, Mama?"

"This is your honeymoon rental. Surprise!"

Sophia gasped.

"Wha... Mama! This is too much. You don't have to pay for the wedding and our honeymoon."

"Luca," she said in a warning tone, "if you are fortunate enough to provide for your children like I do, you will. I hope you'll get the chance to know what that's like."

Before I could rebut or say anything more, she sent us away with a list of errands while she stayed at the house doing whatever she was doing in there. Don't get me wrong. I was grateful to keep some money in my pocket. And I understood why she did all this. I just hoped she wasn't spending all her money on me. True, I didn't know exactly how much money she had, but I didn't think we were a wealthy family. We were always comfortable, never extravagant, but she still had to work for a living. She still had a long life ahead of her, and I wanted her to enjoy everything she worked for.

Our list landed us at the bakery first.

"Hi... I'm here to pick up a cake," I said to the man in the window.

"Name?"

"Murillo."

"Ah! Yes, I spoke to your mother this morning. Just a minute."

I rarely had to tell sims my last name, and it felt a bit odd to say. I honestly hadn't said it since...maybe high school. Wow. But saying it to the guy with Sophia beside me, knowing this time tomorrow she might have my name... I was so proud...and very turned on.

"Here you go," the man said. "Congratulations!"

"Thank you."

"We've got cake," Sophia said.

"Mmm hmm. There's no turning back now."

"Is that so?"

"Yep. It's in the wedding handbook. Once the cake has been secured, no one can cancel the wedding."

"Hmmm. I like this rule."

On our way to the flower shop, a clothing store with fancy, expensive suits and gowns in the window distracted us.

"Look at these," Sophia shouted. "Could you imagine wearing something so expensive?"

"Imagine it? Absolutely. Dropping the coin, no way."

"Right? It's crazy!"

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Mama walking toward us from a few blocks away, so we left the store to find the flower stand we were supposed to hit up next. But when we got there, it was closed.

"Don't tell me it's closed," Mama said when she found us. "It's not even 6:00 yet!"

"Maybe they went out for lunch or something," Sophia said.

"Yeah," I chimed in. "We could wait a few minutes and see if they come back."

Mama sighed.

"Fine. Let's go sit over there so we don't miss them."

The large fountain near the shop had the perfect vantage point to wait. I personally didn't care if we got the flowers or not. The venue probably had more than enough decorations already. But this was Mama's show, and if she wanted more flowers, we'd wait. It was a nice day for sitting around and taking in the sights. The sound of the water bubbling in the fountain and the random cool mist on my neck provided a refreshing respite from the all the running around we'd done that week. But after a while, I think we were all a bit restless.

"I wanted to elope," Mama said.

She never talked about wanting to marry Dwayne, so I needed clarification.

"Elope with Dad?"

"Mmm hmm. I was so hasty. Once I decided we were meant for each other, that was it. I didn't care about a dress and a party. I just wanted to be with him. He was the one who wanted the wedding."

"So, what happened?" I asked.

"Mommy happened. I wore Ali down and convinced him we didn't need a wedding, but there was no changing Amina Pope's mind. And believe me, I tried." She began to laugh. "Oh, I was such a brat that day. I was about your age and still so immature."

"Where was the wedding, then?"

"In her backyard. I may not have been able to sway her on eloping, but I would not back down on getting married immediately. I threatened to take Ali to the beach and do it without her right then if she didn't get onboard, but she convinced me to wait just one more day so she could get things together and invite my Aunt Nay. Remember Billie? That was her mother. They were best friends. Anyway...it was Winterfest, and-"

"You got married on Winterfest?"

"We sure did."

With us getting married on New Year's Eve, could this be the beginning of a family tradition? Holiday weddings?

"I was blown away when we got up. Mommy had turned the whole house into a Winterfest wedding wonderland. She was a designer and always kept our house looking nice. She designed your room!"

"Really?"

"Sure did. She loved you so much, Luca. She did everything for you, just like she did for me. All I've ever wanted to do was be an excellent mother, just like her. I know you think I'm doing too much, and I might be, but it's what she would do. And I want you to feel special how I felt special."

"You always make me feel special, though," I said. "I don't need extra flowers and a giant house to feel that... But I appreciate what you're doing."

Sophia cleared her throat.

"I hate to break up this tender moment, but I need to start getting ready for tonight."

Mama checked the time.

"It is getting late. You guys go. I'll deal with this."

She gave us the keys to the house and sent us on our way. We walked back to the house in silence, Mama's story weighing on our minds. Well, my mind, at least. I loved hearing about Gammy and stretched my brain, trying to remember just one moment. But I was too young. I couldn't even conjure her face without seeing a photograph.

"Luca! Look!"

Of course Mama was fixing up the house for us. I should have expected that.

"This is so special," Sophia shouted.

What was special was finally being alone with her. Maybe I could convince her to free me from all the wild thoughts I had at the bakery.

We stepped into the house, and Sophia looked around. I kept my eyes on her. All I could think about was how we were going to spend three glorious days holed up in our room, and I wanted to get started expeditiously.

"Don't look at me like that," she said.

"How am I looking?"

"Like you want to devour me. We don't have time."

"Pretty please?"

"Come on. Let's see the rest of this house."

She left me and went outside, so I followed. We had the perfect view of the ocean from the patio, and Sophia was beside herself.

"Uuuuggghhh why can't it be warmer?? I just want to dive in there right now! This is so beautiful!"

I was rather impressed myself. Mama really outdid herself.

Nothing in this world

appearances and specifications: Olivia, Rachel and Felix appear in this fic, Felix is reader's friend... F/N = FRIEND NAME, Y/NN = YOUR NICKNAME, Y/FN = YOUR FIRST NAME, Y/FN = YOUR LAST NAME

summary: College year is over and you finally start planning your always dreamt about with your friends. Australia, the perfect destination to have fun during the summer. But what if someone unexpected comes in your life...?

an: Okay, so here it is... My first fan fiction EVER😻🤞 no bcs I hope yall like it... Sending extra love to @agi-ppangx and @lisaaassophhhieee for helping me out with a few little things.

You've always dreamt of a so-called "perfect holiday". Traveling with your friends, going on the beach, partying and drinking till you can't even think straight anymore. And that's exactly what you and your friends decided to do once you finished the first year of college.

For the last few days of college, your mind was flooded with little plans for the trip to Australia you and your friends decided to go on. Exams were almost over and the fresh start of the summer was already making an entrance in your mind. Excitement was filling every part of your body when the teachers announced holiday. You were finally free from the stress, the baggage already full with clothes and other necessities.

The plan was simple. Everyone in the friendgroup would meet up at the airport at 8 pm sharp, so you could catch the 10 pm flight. All that could've been said between you and your friends was only about the trip to Sydney, plans for every day being made right there on the spot.

The flight didn't take long, nor was it short, but it was a bearable amount of time with a pretty nice view. The friendgroup got the bags, including yours, and was already making way to the rental car agency your friend, F/N, decided to go to. They got a spacious car, for all of you 4, and then drove away, with the final destination, Sydney.

Being for the first time in Sydney, everything fascinated you. From the skyscrapers to the Victorian style buildings that would catch your eye everywhere you'd go. But what made you even more excited was the beaches. You were a thalassophile, beaches were your life, especially since you grew up in a city next to the ocean, basically spending time on the beach no matter what.

You didn't book a hotel room, especially since one of your friends was friends with Olivia, an Australian girl who lived in Sydney with her two siblings and parents. The girl was a sweetheart and immediately clicked with the group. Her older siblings were as nice as her, however Felix, her brother, stood out immediately from the family. The blonde boy soon got your heart, winning the title of your friend.

The first days, as you and your friends decided, were designed to be days of simply visiting the city. Everything about it captivated you, every single detail remaining in your mind as little memories. After the few days of sightseeing, you and your friends decided that it was time for you to learn something about the night lifestyle of the Australians. Beach parties, cocktails and music blasting out every night, however nothing in particular stood out. At least, not until now.

It all started like a normal party which Felix and Olivia made you and your friend attend to. Music blasting on the beach, people dancing and screaming their lungs out on their favorite songs, the bar being full and some people laying on the beach, talking to each other. You and the group decided to go to the bar to drink something to get loose. One shot, two shots, three shots and then you get dragged by your friend in the middle of the party. The others join you and you start dancing with them, sweat and happiness spread on your face. As you were dancing, you menage to steal a glance from the DJ. And that's when your eyes widen and an electric wave is sent down your spine. A blonde, muscular guy, not too much older than you as it seemed, was maneuvering the buttons as if it was the easiest thing ever. As he was focused on what he was doing, you decided to check him out better. Not even realizing you were staring at him, Felix pats your shoulder.

"He's Chris." he says, looking at you still under the effect of the DJ. "Earth to Y/N..?" He says again, this time getting you out of trance. You look at him, widening your eyes.

"You know him?" "Yeah, I do. I mean, we've met a few times at parties like these, but also in the town." he answers, nonchalantly.

As you were speaking with Felix, the song that was casually playing in the background changes to a faster one. You look at the DJ, hoping Chris would be the one on the stage, however not finding him near.

"Hey, Felix!" A male voice says, while you were still looking for the DJ who caught your attention. However, you finish your searching when you turn around, seeing Felix talking to Chris. God, he looked even better in front of you.

"Who's your friend?" Chris asks Felix, intrigued by you. "Oh, she is Y/N. She stays at my place for her and her friendgroup's trip in Sydney." Felix answers, a light smirk being displayed on his face.

When Felix finished the little presentation, Chris gave you his hand to shake. As you were giving him your hand, you were focused on his arm. Full of tattoos, black and a few red spots on his muscular, bare arms. To make it all natural, you rise your eyes, seeing his chocolate-colored eyes already on your face, making your cheeks heat up a little bit. His warm gaze brushed on your face and at the little eye contact, his ears turned a shade of red.

"I'm Chris. Well, Christopher Bahng, but I go by Chris." He smiled. God, he even got dimples.

"Well, you can call me Y/NN. My full name is Y/FN Y/LN though." You answered with a smile.

The atmosphere was tensed, both making eye contact got both of you to stand closer to each other, forgetting about the party. Suddenly, the moment is ruined when your friend, tipsy already, got next to you and dragged you back into the crowd to dance. Chris followed you, however. You didn't get the chance to talk right there, but you got to know one thing for sure, when he started dancing with you. He was as good at dancing as he was at mixing thr music up on the stage.

Both you, Chris and your friends partied till the sunrise, all of you drunk and wasted on the beach. You got back to Felix's house, and without further thinking, you all crashed wherever you could in the house. Some getting luckier, as Felix and F/N (one of your friends) got when they arrived in a bedroom, some not so lucky, as you and Chris crashed on the couch. When you wake up after, you felt a great headache, however, you still menaged to remember a few things from the party. Dancing. Drinking. Music. DJ. Hot guy. Chris. WAIT-

"Good morning.." a sleepy voice said. When you looked around, you saw the tattooed arm that yesterday made your cheeks get red. You looked up, meeting two brown, smiling eyes. Your cheeks became red again, as memories from last night's party got in your head again.

" 'Morning.." you say, smiling to him as well. "Did you sleep well?"

"Actually... I did." he said, while his dimples were growing even more adorable.

Since that day, both of you got to talk more. Explore more. And eventually, form not just a friendship, but actually a relationship. The three months you spent with him were some of the best moments in your life, him bringing a smile on your face everytime he showed up. However, time was ticking, and summer break was almost over.

Chris helped you to pack your stuff, both having tears in your eyes.

"Will we still talk?" He asked, hugging you when you finished packing.

"Of course we will. Nothing in this world can ever make me feel better than you, Chris." You smile, kissing his lips one last time, before parting off to the airport with your friends.

taglist!!

gwens nonbinary crisis

hi i'm sorry this is so late! i've been pretty sick this week and then i started writing this and lost all my progress when my computer crashed </3 hope u enjoy

also on my ao3!

When they were dating, Duncan used to call Gwen my girl. She'd let him do it without complaint, resolutely ignoring the feeling that he only used it as it was a less exciting alternative to Princess. Gwen's never been much of one of those, so it's not like the nickname would have worked for her in the first place at all - but she never loved my girl, either.

Trent had called her babe, which was basic and cliché and, overall, more welcome. Maybe a part of Gwen had always wanted, loath as she was to admit it, for a boy to smile and tell her she drove him crazy. It would have been direct. A sign she really wasn't on her own any longer. But now, even though Total Drama is done and Duncan's in jail and Gwen is finished with it all - she still feels off-kilter. Unbalanced. Wrong.

She's not part of her cousin's wedding party. She and Stella have never quite gotten along the best out of everyone in the Kaczmarek extended family. Stella was Prom Queen; Gwen stayed home. Stella led the volleyball team; Gwen stayed in the shadows. Stella, the perfect movie star looker that she was, never got famous; Gwen did, and wishes she hadn't.

She'd love to skip out on the wedding entirely, but that would be sure to prove more trouble than it would be worth, having her whole family all pissed at her. So Gwen resigns herself to going, rents an AirBnB on the North Carolina coast just a few miles from the beach where the wedding will be held. The beach - Gwen would rather Stella be marrying this weirdo boot Marine guy in your stereotypical Christian chapel, as long as it meant Gwen wouldn't get sand blown in her eyes and spend an hour trying to forget the crackle of Trent's voice on the walkie, inside the small glass box.

But, she supposes, only slightly scornfully, it isn't her wedding.

The ceremony itself goes fine. In all honesty, she doesn't pay it much attention. When the newlyweds kiss, she claps. When the party begins to relocate to the reception hall, Gwen quietly migrates with them. She's already been made to talk about Total Drama to about fifty odd relatives, their reactions ranging from genuinely interested to sniffily labeling Gwen as a slut. At the afterparty, she drinks heavily and wakes up back in her AirBnB the next morning, head splitting in two and left wondering which poor bastard took it upon themself to see her safely home.

Her flight's in a few hours. Time to get the hell out of dodge, get the hell out of the States, go back home to her studio full of paint splatters and sketchbooks full of old dreams. Instead, on a whim, she extends her time with the rental car. Intent on finding someplace where she can just have a moment of her own time to think and breathe, Gwen heads to the west, unsure exactly of where it is she's going. When she sees the rolling Appalachians through her windshield, she might gain some semblance of an idea.

No food, no firewood. Not even so much as a sleeping bag, but still Gwen rents the cabin. She can worry about the essentials later; right now, she's too busy gazing off the mountain into the valley of gold below. 

The air smells fresh. A strange, secret part of her finds familiarity in the cabin and its wilderness furniture. She sits out on the front porch, feels the crisp autumn air nip at the tips of her ears, her nose. The dead leaves rustle softly against each other in the breeze. Somewhere, not too far off, a stream babbles.

Gwen should visit Duncan in jail. Gwen should shoot Trent a quick text, or something, see how the guy is holding up. She should check in with Courtney, too, while she's at it. Make sure she's all right.

Instead, Gwen simply breathes. In and out, in and out. Centers herself. Closes her eyes. Thinks.

After opening them to drink their fill of southern sunset, Gwen's fairly certain they've got the inklings of an idea about something important beginning to blossom in their mind.

Sliding in the DMs Part XIV

18+ content ahead

“We are so fucked when we get home,” Arty mumbled into Joey’s shoulder.

It was quiet sans for the sounds of the waves hitting the beach. The two of them were laid out next to the pool of their tiny rental, basking in the evening warmth after another round of lovemaking. Thankfully, the villa Joey rented was pretty secluded and obviously cost a fortune to rent. He didn’t care about the amount of money spent on this trip. He knew his accountant for sure would be calling him as soon as he checked his account and saw the exuberant charges. 

“Artemis.. we’ll deal with it then. I honestly don’t care what others think right now.” He grumbled, reaching his arm out to pull her closer to him. “I love you.”

They lay quietly once more, mulling over the last 24 hours and their life-changing decision. 

It was so surreal to Arty that she was no longer Artemis Thermopoli, but Artemis Bosa. 

She gazed at the glint of her wedding band on her finger as it shined beneath her engagement ring.

A year ago, she would have never imagined being engaged and married before 30 years old. 21-year-old Arty would have cackled madly at that very thought. Yet, here she was, just shy of her 28th birthday, married to the love of her life.

Joey brought so much joy and happiness to her life - she couldn’t imagine life without him. As someone who hadn’t been active in her faith in years, she actually visited a small church on the island earlier in the morning and said a prayer, silently pleading for their relationship to always remain this strong.

She didn’t want to be like her parents, in a loveless marriage. She also knew Joey didn’t want to replicate his own parents' doomed marriage that led to divorce.

As she lay there with him, warm and safe in his arms, she truly believed at that moment that they wouldn’t follow the same path as their loved ones.

They communicated regularly and respected each other a great deal. Even in his sometimes brash and awkward delivery, Joey was loving and affectionate to her. He wasn’t afraid of being silly with her or sharing hobbies. For him, Arty brought the extroversion into his life. She was funny, lively, friendly, and the life of the party. Yet, in all of her moments of loud and fun, she was intuitive. She knew when Joey was upset or going through something. She knew when to prod or when to wait for him to share. He had never felt that kind of love and support before. They just meshed well together. He shared his fears with her and she with him. 

While they both had opinions of what their wedding was going to be, Joey’s impromptu suggestion of a marriage at the magistrate somehow won out anything else.

In their rush of euphoric joy and worry of losing their nerve, they did exactly that. Joey’s long-time neighbor, an elderly woman who was super sweet and kind to him all the years he lived in Costa Mesa, agreed in shock and delight to not only watch Cassiopeia for them but also to be their witness at the courthouse. California only needed one witness for it to happen. 

Arty smiled softly as she recalled the events.

—-

The officiant fumbled slightly with the officiant book in his hands. He was an older gentleman who had clearly done this hundreds of times given how quickly he had Arty and Joey fill out the necessary paperwork in a more private setting with the help of the court clerk.

Arty had on a dark blue dress that ended just slightly above her knees and was complimented by the lovely strappy heels she was wearing. She wore minimal jewelry, except for the engagement ring and her favorite earrings. She looked beautiful as she smiled nervously at an equally nervous Joey.

He smiled back, fiddling slightly with the cuff of his sleeve. He was wearing a black suit outfit, similar to the one he wore at the NFL Honors when Nick won DPOY. 

Arty had teased him about it being one of his best looks. He couldn’t NOT recreate it just for her. 

Melissa, his kind neighbor from Costa Mesa, smiled proudly at the two loved birds. She didn’t know the full circumstances for why the two of them went about it this way, but she knew that in the end, it didn’t matter. Joey was obviously in love deeply with his fiance and vice versa. She had only met Arty a handful of times, but she could see how much the younger woman cared for him.

The service began as the officiant cleared his throat before nodding to the two.

“Welcome. We are gathered here today to join Artemis Renee Thermopoli and Joseph Anthony Bosa in holy matrimony.” He looks up to Joey before continuing on, “Do you Joseph, take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife to live together in matrimony, to love her, comfort her, honor and keep her, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?”

“I do.” Joey said with a smile as he stared into Arty’s tearful eyes.

She smiled back sweetly, reaching up to wipe her eye slightly as she gripped the bouquet in her hands.

“Do you Artemis, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, comfort him, honor and keep him, in sickness and in health, in sorrow and in joy, to have and to hold, from this day forward, as long as you both shall live?”

“I do.” Arty declared confidently.

“Joseph and Artemis have chosen rings to exchange with each other as a symbol of their unending love. As you place this ring on Aretmis’s finger, please repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed and pledge you my love now and forever.” The officiant instructed Joey.

Joey pulled the wedding band from his pocket and gently grabbed Arty’s left hand. “Artemis,” he breathed shakily. “With this ring, I thee wed and pledge you my love now and forever.” He slid the ring on gently before lifting it to press a kiss to it.

Arty’s choked up slightly in tears at the gesture and grinned happily back at him.

Joey dropped her hand gently and stepped back slightly to allow the officiant to continue.

“Now, Artemis, as you place this ring on Joseph’s finger, please repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed and pledge you my love now and forever.”

Melissa, who was holding Arty’s bag and the box with the ring set, handed Joey’s wedding band to her.

Arty nodded in thanks, exchanging the bouquet for it and then lifted Joey’s left hand to align the ring with his ring finger. “With this ring, I thee wed and pledge you my love now and forever.” She followed suit in lifting his hand to press a kiss against the ring on his finger.

Joey grinned back at her, his eyes teary-eyed as he made eye contact with her stunning green eyes. ‘God, I love her so much.’ He thought happily.

“By the authority vested in me by the State of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife!” The officiant announced with a smile, “You may now kiss the bride.”

Joey needed no further prompting than that as he swooped in and pressed his lips passionately to Arty’s, gently gripping her to him as her arms reached up to cup his face. He broke the kiss leaning back just enough to grin down at his blushing bride.

The courthouse staff present, as well as his neighbor Melissa, clapped for the newly weds.

The officiant shook hands with the couple, congratulating them and then assisting them in signing the license that would be processed with the state.

The rest from then on passed in a blur as Joey and Arty would soon after on a private jet to St. Barts for a week-long honeymoon.

—-

Back to the present, Joey gently nudged Arty and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“Hmm?” She said absent-mindedly.

“I can practically hear the gears turning in your head from here. What are you thinking about?” He asked again as he shifted to stare down at her in curiosity.

“Just still in absolute disbelief that this actually happened. We’re actually married, Joey.” She looked up at him in shock. “I just… wow. It’s still so surreal.”

“Is that a good thing?” He asked, a hint of worry in his tone. 

“Absolutely it is!” Arty rushed to reassure him. “I am so beyond thankful that we have each other. And maybe... Maybe by the standards of others and society, it is not a viable path that we took to get here... But I wouldn’t change that for the world” She cupped his cheek and pressed a kiss to her husband’s lips.

Joey pulled back with a lazy grin on his face. “Artemis Bosa.. what would I do without you?”

“Hmmm.. Be miserable and fighting online with people who beat your ass at COD.” She teased him while moving to sit up and stretch.

“See.. I don’t remember it being quite like that.” He protested in return, trying to fight the smile starting to spread over his face. “Sounds very revisionist, to be frank.”

“Oh? Revisionist? It’s the truth! You liked fighting with me online and couldn’t handle having your ass kicked by a woman!” Arty saw him start to protest and she pressed her finger to his lips. “Nope! It’s the truth! It doesn’t help that you also realized you were into me. So, I get it. I really do. I wanted you too.” She smiled down at him in a coy manner. “Especially when I realized what you look like.”

Joey couldn’t stop the cheesy grin from taking over, his cheeks flushing redder under the slight sunburn already there. “Yeah if I remember correctly you said you wanted to sit on my face..”

“I still do. All day and every day.” Was her blunt response to that.

Joey chuckled at that, reaching up to pull his wife into his chest once more. “I love you.”

They lay there a little longer before Joey’s hand trailed down the backside of Arty’s bikini bottoms. His hands fiddled with the strings, tugging them languidly until they came undone and dropped to the sides.

Arty’s breath hitched as she waited with anticipation for where he was going to put his hands next.

Joey’s hand pulled her bottoms down, exposing her ass to the cool breeze rolling in from the ocean nearby. Her skin was smooth, as his fingers teased shivers and goosebumps out of her. He caressed her ass a few times, pretending to dip low enough towards between her legs but then moving away moments later.

His hand danced up her bare lower back, making its way to the middle of her back where he undid the strings of her bikini top, similar to what he did to her bikini bottoms. Those too dropped away, exposing the tanned lines underneath.

“Hmmmm…” Arty hummed dreamily, pushing to sit up so she could pull away her untied swimsuit set. 

Dropping it to the side without looking where it landed, she kept her eyes glued on Joey, a Cheshire grin on her face as she bit her lip and sat up. She stretched her arms high, knowing her chest would catch Joey’s eyes as he watched like a predator hunting its prey.

She stood up suddenly and reached her hand out for Joey, coaxing him silently to get up and follow her.

He did so, eagerly getting up and gripping her hand tightly as she guided them to the other side of the beach house rental, a spot where an outdoor jacuzzi was located. Arty fussed with the temperature controls a few times before getting it right.

“I’ve been thinking about what I wanted as a wedding gift since last night.” She said thoughtfully, eyeing up Joey’s bulge in his swim trunks. “And I’ve decided that I want to suck your dick.”

Joey’s eyes got huge as he halted his step into the jacuzzi. “Like.. like in here?”

“Yep.” She popped the ‘p’ at the end, running her tongue over her lower lip as she continued to stare at the one thing she wanted that was between his legs. “You sitting on the edge of the tub, me kneeling in the tub. Can we, please?” She pleaded with doe eyes to him.

Joey gulped heavily, feeling his breathing pick up as he imagined it right at that moment. He could never say no to her - not that he even wanted to try. “I - yeah - I mean sure.” He finished awkwardly, fiddling with his bottoms to get them undone and down his legs. His cock slapped against his stomach as it came free, hardened with a glistening head. Arty couldn’t help but fixate on the swollen red head of it, tracing the veins that ran down the underside of it. 

“You want me to sit here?” He asked as he adjusted himself on the edge of the tub which was thankfully an inground design, meaning that where the tub ended, there was wood behind him to lean against for support. 

Arty nodded and stepped into the water, reaching up to tie her hair into a bun as she moved between his parted legs to get comfortable on her knees. She was face to face now with his cock, her hands resting on his inner thighs as she leaned in and pressed a tender kiss to the head of it.

Joey let out a shaky exhale as his eyes remained glued and focused on his wife’s every move.

Her right hand wrapped around the base of his cock as she made eye contact with him, a devilish look in her eyes as she made sure he was watching. Her eyes promised him wicked, wicked things. “Are you ready?”

“Yeah.” He grunted out, biting his lip in anticipation.

She stuck her tongue out, pressing it to the underside of his cock as she work her way upwards with languid licks. Her hand pumped his base as she worked at his tip now, engulfing it into her mouth and hollowing her cheeks as she worked her sucking into a steady pace, using just the right amount of suction to make him whimper above her.

She glanced up and could see him, head tilted back as his eyes squeezed shut from the sensation.

His chest was starting to flush from the sensations he was experiencing and he knew his face was no better. He couldn’t help it though. Arty and her mouth could drag him to hell and he’d go willingly without a second thought. She was a succubus in human form. There was no doubt to him about that.

Arty continued, slurping loudly as she made sure he was lubricated just enough for what she wanted to do next. She leaned back and shot him a teasing grin as she continued to stroke his cock with firm movements, gently tugging when she got to his tip.

She loved seeing him this way, worked up and breathing heavily as he basked in the pleasure she was giving him. “You love that, daddy?” She teased him. 

Joey had sweat trickling down his temple from the mix of the humid tropical air, the warm jets of water surrounding his legs, and Arty’s fellatio. He was warm all over, but the intense pleasure between his legs burned the hottest in his core.

“Fuck, Arty.. please.” He pleaded, his deep voice coming out hoarse as he stared at her with pleading eyes. 

She grinned once more before taking him in her mouth once more. This time, however, she took him as deep in her mouth as she possibly could. She relaxed her mouth, trying her best to fit as much as she could of him in her mouth. A few inches short of his pubic bone, she had to stop.

Joey was groaning loudly and cussing at the sensation, especially when he felt her tongue flex on the underside of his cock, the one place he was most sensitive. 

She began to bob her head slowly at first before picking up speed, gagging slightly at the size of him.

Joey never gripped her head when she deep-throated. She had asked him about it once while they were coming down from their post-coital bliss. Joey explained that he didn’t want to force her head and hurt her. Arty understood, given the size and strength of him, but a part of her wished he’d pull her hair just a bit.

Finally, after a few more bobs of her head, she pulled back, releasing him from her throat and breathing deeply to catch her breath.

She stared at the trail of saliva connecting from her lips to his weeping cock. His cock, wet with her saliva, was visibly pulsing as Joey’s hips slightly jerked upwards. He was close and she could tell. She’d give him the release he so desperately wanted.

After a few moments, Arty sat up and guided Joey into the water more as she adjusted herself to sit reverse cowgirl on him, reaching down into the water to grip his cock. 

He cursed at the new rush of sensations he was experiencing. As soon as he felt his cock enter her, he moaned loudly, reaching to grip Arty’s hips tightly as she arched her ass backward and started bouncing rigorously on him, her tempo rough and fast as she clenched her walls around him to get him to his climax quicker. Times like this made her thankful she did kegel exercises in the past.

She reached down to start rubbing her clit, overly aroused herself from all of this one Joey suddenly gripped her hips tightly, yanking her down until she was sitting at the hilt as he cummed.

It was erotic to her as she felt him shoot his load into her while he panted heavily behind her, his hands holding her in place.

She continued to rub herself, chasing the building orgasm that was about to wash over her any minute.

Within moments she was cumming as well, collapsing back against Joey’s chest as the waves of intense pleasure washed over her. She could feel her hips buck instinctively a few times as Joey’s grip on her hips relaxed.

Finally, after a few more moments passed, both were sitting still, trying to catch their breath and process what just happened.

Joey reached his hands down to smooth over Arty’s hips, knowing his grip would leave bruises tomorrow with how tightly he was holding her. He pressed a series of kisses to her shoulder and neck from behind before wrapping his arms around her in a hug and leaning his chin on her shoulder. “Fuck.. I love you, babe.” 

Arty giggled, slightly dazed from their lovemaking. “I love you too.”

They sat another few moments in silence before Joey gently moved Arty forward a bit so he could slip his cock out of her, careful due to the sensitivity they were both facing. 

“Let’s go inside and take a nap.” Joey suggested, “We can get dinner in a bit and take a swim in the ocean. Maybe go on a boat ride.” He had been eyeing up the waterfront, his eyes taking in the beauty before him.

Arty nodded and allowed him to scoop her up and carry her inside. She rested against his chest as he carried her bridal style into the restroom.

Joey placed her carefully on the toilet so she could do her business and stepped out for a moment to check his phone.

As Arty was finishing up in the restroom and starting the shower for them, she heard Joey cursing from the master bedroom.

Stepping into the room, she looked at him in concern when she spotted him leaning forward, his head in his hands.

Beside him was his cellphone, the screen lit up with various types of notifications from social media, text messages, emails, and missed phone calls. The most recent was from his mother from what she could tell and a text message in all caps said, “JOSEPH ANTHONY BOSA. WHAT THE FUCK IS TMZ TALKING ABOUT YOU BEING MARRIED?” 

Arty’s mind went blank. Someone had gotten a hold of their filing at the courthouse in Orange County… and now the gig was up.

Everyone now knew they were married.

She couldn’t even begin to consider looking at her own phone.

They were fucked.

[camp-marago]

There is the map of the event location. Camp Marago.

The lake appears smaller then it actually is on the map. It is because most buildings are large. We only want the best for our guests. Don't drown we don't have and lifeguards. It is advised to not go into the deadly zones and stay in the camp during the duration of the event. There is a sunken ship on the ground of the lake. Who ever feels curious and cable can go explore it. How you can get there you wonder? Either you get diving equipment from the rental house or.... .... you turn into a fish. Your choice. Please follow the instructions of our employees at the diffrent event areas. Don't leave your garbage around and throw it in a proper trashcan. If you feel exhaused after a long day exploring and partying there is a hotel. Just book a room for a total of one crap for the night. The craps run around in most areas of the beach. Just try catch one. ....and don't loose your fingers.

CATCHING MY BREATH, STARING OUT AN OPEN WINDOW

Eric Seaver is based on Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid. He is a 30 year old human, a rental boat captain, and uses he/him pronouns. He has no powers. Eric is portrayed by Charles Melton and he is taken.

CATCHING MY DEATH, AND I COULDN’T BE SURE

On the outside looking in one wouldn't assume that Eric Seaver was a prince. He hadn't any interest in his royal duties or extravagant parties. He much preferred being out on the open sea and sailing with his fellow crew. Which became a problem when he entered adult hood. His parents wanted him to settle down and get married because he was their only heir to the throne. Of course Eric pushed this responsibility off for as long as he could muster. He didn't want to be tied down to land and a marriage when he still had so much of the continent to explore. Promising his parents when he'd return home from his trip abroad he'd start looking for a partner. However what he didn't plan was the night he set off to sea was a storm that came swirling across the waves and ravaging his ship. Only a few members of his crew alongside Sir Grimsby and his dog had survived. Eric wasn't sure how he lived to tell the tale--it all felt like a dream really. He remembered hearing a voice but Grimsby had told him it was probably a hallucination being so close to deaths grip. Eric didn't believe that. He had a new purpose; to find this girl. It was better than sitting around and letting the guilt weigh him down about the rest of his crew that had met davy jones fate. Feeling like it was his fault. His parents were just happy their only son was seemingly ready to take on royal duties. The search seemed useless, he had almost been on the brink of giving up. Searching the beach endlessly day and night. Until a siren on the beach was calling to him. That melody was the same as the one he heard on the day he was saved. He followed the voice losing all control as his mind was only focused on the lullaby that lured him in. Finding a woman on the beach singing in a purple gown and a glowing seashell necklace. The closer he got the more his vision blurred until everything went black and his body crashed into the sand. When Eric awoke he was no longer near the palace by the sea. Instead he was in a town called Evermore. His memories were foggy. Some things were clear as a bell, like his love for the ocean and adventure. But the maiden who has once saved him had been long forgotten. Eric tried to make most of this new life, using what money was left in his pockets to buy a boat on the river. He is content for now, but for the first time in his life every fiber of his being is fighting to find a way back home.

I HAD A FEELING SO PECULIAR

❀ Leota Tombs: Eric wasn't really a believer of the supernatural or the mystical but he can't help but to feel Leota is his only hope. That maybe she can help him repair the hole in his memories. ❀ Ma Raon: He's run into her a few times in town, something about her is so otherworldly that Eric can't help but to strike up a conversation with her every time he see's her out and about. ❀ Christopher Robin: Christopher was the first person to stumble upon in Evermore when Eric was nothing more than a drunken mess. He's quickly become a father figure, a home away from home. Eric really looks up to the man.

THAT THIS PAIN WOULD BE FOR EVERMORE

Day 266: Saturday September 23, 2023 - "Petco Park Party"

Crashed an overnight into San Diego tonight, William's 7th. And after we all got a much needed rest and reset at the hotel, we set out together for a fun night out in the city. One of the reasons Audrie picked this trip up was because the Cardinals happened to be in town for a late season meaningless series with the Padres. Though the Cards are hardly worth a free flight this year ( 68-87 as of tonights win in extras), we were excited to go revisit the first baseball park Audrie and I visited together almost a decade ago and take William to his 7th MLB park.

It was a firsty for me, seeing the Cardinals in their road throwback Victory Blues that they wear on Saturday nights, and while we took in the early innings from the center field (beach/sandbox), I cheered for them obnoxiously. We moved up to our seats behind home plate where I made friends with the surrounding Friar fans as I sipped the local beers and led the local cheers, and was happy when the bottom of the 9th came and went and we were still playing baseball in the cool ocean air of San Diego. William got baseball cards from the ushers, got a hot dog from his mama, and enjoyed seeing the red team in blue win the game - several breaks for mama milk definitely helped as the night got late.

And the Overnight Crash First Game is what kept us solidly in our perfect seats with a straight view of the outfield where after the game, there'd be fireworks; William's first firework show. And these were great fireworks, a really awesome show. William sat in awe pretending each flash was a rocket ship over the baseball game. Given that he remember the Dodgers game from July earlier this week by the fact that we went with Chad and got a bobble guy - -he'll definitely remember Petco Park, his 7th MLB stadium for that awesome fireworks show.

Every time I come to San Diego, I love it more. I love this stadium, and the people here. This is a great baseball city. Ive been to them all - this one is special. I hope that the get some success soon! So much talent here, and fun atmosphere, and great beer. As we walked around lost on the streets of San Diego, looking for the rental car, hopelessly - I told William, he had permission to grow up a Padres fan. We could make a habit of coming here - as we finally found the car i joked "obviously we need to work on getting to know this city better."

Updated Overnight List / Firsty Game:

1 Milwaukee, WI -> First Brewers Game (May 27, 2023) 2 St Louis, MO -> First Visit to the Arch (May 28, 2023) 3 Long Beach, CA -> First Time Riding A Boat (July 3, 2023) 4 Honolulu, HI -> First Time Flying with Grandma/Papa; First time Swimming in Pacific Ocean (August 5, 2023) 5 Honolulu, HI -> First Hawaiian Shaved Ice (August 8, 2023) 6 San Francisco, CA -> First time flying on Mama’s Plane (she was A), September 2, 2023 7 San Diego, CA -> First time flying no diaper (and no accident), first Fire Works Show after Padres game, September 23, 2023

Affordable Short Stay Apartments for Rent in Dubai Marina

Introduction

Dubai Marina is the waterfront station that speaks popularly for opulence and a great skyline worth looking at. What makes Dubai Marina a high-in-demand destination for tourists and expats? It appears synonymous with luxury – world-renowned bars, clubs, and restaurants surround the area making it one of the top-notch destinations for short term rentals. In this blog by StaysDxb, we are going to see how you can have an affordable stay in Dubai Marina, focusing on economical short-term rentals. Ultimately, we promise to give some tips and tricks on how you can find the perfect apartments for rent in Dubai Marina.

Two such prime examples of stylishly reasonably priced apartments for rent in Dubai Marina are Chic Living Dubai Marina and Marina Living Yacht Club Views. Both are one-bedroom short-term rental apartments, perfect for solo travelers, couples, or just a small family. Both of the apartment options are situated right in the center of Dubai Marina, within easy reach of Dubai Marina's vibrant nightlife, restaurants, and shopping malls, and also make sure that tranquility is maintained within the premises. From rentals with modern furnishings and up-to-date equipment to the striking view of either the marina or the famous yacht club, a perfect blend of affordability and high-class living is hard to find.

Why Dubai Marina?

It’s truly a haven, offering the best of both worlds. Dubai Marina, being urbane, is treated to scenic views of the Persian Gulf and the city skyline. This place just buzzes with life, given the numerous dining, shopping, and entertainment options around every corner. It is adequately connected, with an easy route for access to the metro or Sheikh Zayed Road, hence proving convenient for business or leisure travelers. Starting with a stay in Dubai Marina, you are able to do everything from walking in the famous Marina Walk right down to visiting the nearby JBR Beach. Because of this fact, the area is one of the more popular choices for short-term rentals, and just about as expensive, the myth goes. As a matter of fact, though, you can get apartments for rent in Dubai Marina which will fit your budget once you know just where to go about it.

Tips on Finding Affordable Temporary Rentals

If you know where and what to look for, finding a reasonably affordable short-term rental shouldn’t be as hard as it seems. First, consider the time of year that you are booking. Dubai has tourist high seasons, especially during winter, starting from November and continuing up to February when the heat is a bit more bearable. Make use of the off-season if that can accommodate your schedule; this will get you better deals for your short-term rentals. Paying directly through property management websites or platforms can at times circumvent many of the additional fees charged by third-party booking platforms. Other websites, such as StaysDXB, will allow direct booking for apartments for rent in Dubai Marina to get the best price. In addition, check out the special offers or discounts, if any, given by the landlord for longer stays because many give reduced rates for week-long or month-long rentals.

Budget-Friendly Features to Look For in Apartments

Even for modest, short-term apartments for rent in Dubai Marina, it’s really not best to compromise on basic amenities. Search for apartments that offer free Wi-Fi, access to gym facilities, swimming pools, and fully fitted kitchens. The Chic Living Dubai Marina and the Marina Living Yacht Club Views provide all the listed amenities herein, making sure that your stay here will be less expensive but enjoyable and more convenient. Also, consider a location where an apartment would face the Marina. Living near public transportation, such as the Dubai Tram or Metro, will help one save money that could be spent on taxis. 

Conclusion

Budget travelers need not find Dubai Marina beyond their means. If the time of stay is right, the booking of stay was done at the right time, the amenities focused on are the bare minimum and a few centrally located apartments for rent in Dubai Marina were chosen, then Dubai Marina can be experienced in its full luxury and convenience without going overboard. If you are willing to do some amount of research and have some flexibility, you will find that finding an ideal short-term rental in this beautiful area would be quite possible.
