🇨🇦 🍷 It's Saturday night and I'm enjoying lovely 2024 Featherstone Pinot Grigio (89 pts, $18) from Niagara. Colour comes from some skin contact. Arrived in LCBO VINTAGES a couple of weeks ago. Full review: https://rebrand.ly/f3b4bd

I encountered a self-proclaimed witch doctor this week. Among other gifts she bestowed was this book recommendation. I got it from my local “L-eye-barry” and am on a journey further back in time than I’ve ever travelled before. I like that the framing of science and human culture starts on the first page.

SO BRAVE#for those who've missed my whinging i like. have been poking around doll collection spaces for a few months#and decided it might be cool. but i was kinda worried i'd buy one and not like it and then feel like an idiot#and also i am an adult who didn't really play w dolls as a kid so like...? there's a feeling of missing my chance yk#ANYWAY. was very very strong and cool and brave and got venus yesterday#and went back for draculaura today. bc 1) it's easier the second time and 2) i knew that i wanted those two to be my first dolls#LOOK AT THEM THEY SLAY SO HARD#idk much about mh's characters but i feel like slay as slang would be big for them#i just realized my m.onster volumes are out of order wth#regardless! im here!#and i probably won't get more for a while? im such an impulse purchaser but i wanna be more careful w dolls#it's a consumerist hobby and i don't wanna get too sucked into that (it's also more expensive than like. my secondhand book collecting)#might rearrange my shelf a bit bc im worried about sunlight exposure and all that#still!! yay#dollblr#monster high#very funny having them next to like. the scholas.tic book fair comic selection#maybe i should clear out my shelves..#but i get to experience the thrill of marking smth off on my spreadsheet#which im sure will be super easy for all of them. these things are never expensive nor difficult to find :)#that was part of it like my local stores' stock of these has been low for months and i was kinda worried they might just be waiting#for their current ones to go.. the line's been out for a while yk. eh im not good at this side of things#outside of fretting. very good at that#there was also the matter of doing this without uh my parents finding out lol#like they will eventually im sure i just didn't need to be interrogated day-of. not sure i could handle that tbh orz#even though i know it probably wouldn't be that bad.

I've said this before and I'll say it again but I don't understand why people go to bat for Starbucks when there are local cafes near you serving up the best coffee you'll ever drink in your life
#cookie.txt#''but local places are too expensive!'' and starbucks isn't? come on now#i had some matcha milk tea from a local cafe tonight and i'm ngl it's one of the best drinks i've ever had#first sip and i audibly said ''hot DAMN that's good.''#btw i don't mean to take a holier-than-thou tone here about bc like. i regularly eat at dunkin' y'know#it's just like. why do people defend starbucks so much it's not the only coffee place in the world#it's not even the only major fast food coffee brand.#and starbucks' coffee is kinda mid and overpriced anyway#you don't Need starbucks. you have other options

Mfs be like "I enjoy the holidays because it brings families and friends closer and it becomes a time of being thoughtful and giving to those you love and cherish the most"
And I'm just here like:
#I love you cranberry sprite your the only reason I tolerate late October through February of the next year#literally saw the 24 packs at my local Winn-dixie and i swear i was about to ascend to heaven#I'd kill to have it be a all year round product#at first i only got it at first because the “wanna sprite cranberry?” meme was super popular at the time#but like that first ever sip was like experiencing heaven to me#nero blabbing#I ❤️ CRANBERRY SPRITE

my sister-in-law telling me, unprompted, over sober-up milkshakes that in her mind she always saw me and my brother’s friend (who I’ve had a stupid annoying secret crush on since 2011) getting together but that with every passing year it becomes clearer to her that we probably won’t figure it out in this universe but that she likes to imagine us happy and in love in other universes was… certainly something
#I’ll process this for someday but for now I’m just gonna listen to Peter by Taylor Swift#truly was sitting at my local Five Guys sipping my milkshake like 🥤 👁️👄👁️#my stuff

and a guy who was there taking photographs of the lake walked by and went "now you ladies really know how to do it" and i didn't even care about the misgendering cuz he's right. we do know how to do it. it fuckin ruled.
#i picked up the wine from my favorite local vineyard and it's just so good#we split the bottle into two of my big sbux cups so we could just sip on it#truly a fantastic afternoon

the way once somebody has managed to Befriend them/or gets them in a situation where they're more open+friendly.... Swapping work horror stories is 100% an bonding method with them & they will be an champion of causal dark humored tales like "Oh yeah I had a patient stab me with the knife I'd just removed from them, two for one special or something."
#(also just they deserve friends and acquaintances)#(but also on a more fun note- let them motorcycle 101 somebody and non work related fun)#(they have connections at a local race track and never mention it unless inviting somebody along)#(just imaging wild events happening in the pit and 'how are you so unbothered')#(devon sipping at an energy drink just like: been here done this in an worst environment)

Your (Super)Man - N.K.
Synopsis. He’s not a bird. He’s not a plane. He’s…just Nanami Kento from the journalism department. But you have a feeling that Nanami’s hiding a super big secret - and not just the one down there.
Pairing. Nanami Kento x Reader

Nanami, SUPERMAN AU, aphrodísiacs, coworkers-to-Iovers, he is a GENTLEMAN, slight víoIence, Itadori cameo, saving people, píning, manhandIing, he is BIG, cervíx kíssing, making it fit, pússydrúnk Nanami, oraI (fem rec.), BRÉEDING, creampíes, cúmplay, spítting, Nanami’s POWERS, matíng presses, face-sítting, buIges, BREAKING THE BED, pet names, swéaring.

A/N. CLARK KENT(O) NANAMI SAVE MEEEE

“There’s just something about him, Shoko.”
“Right…”
You’re flicking a quick roll of your eyes as your coworker continues stealing drowsy sips of her early morning coffee. Well, her fifth of the morning. Grumbling out, “I swear- There’s just something about him that feels so…” Eyes drifting - as they much seemed to do these days - to the man in question. “-different.”
And, listen, Shoko would whole-heartedly prefer the tittering office gossip with you over working on her weeks-late article any day of the week.
But times like this, she really had no idea whether the two of you were staring - undoubtedly creepily - at the same Nanami Kento.
That stoic, mild-mannered hire who’d just been freshly accepted into your journalism sector. Tall, seemingly powerful - yet, he acted anything but. A gentle giant with the suspicious patience of a saint even against the worst of editors - honestly, she’s musing, just who was this guy?
“Hm…” Fingers digging into her achy temples as if trying to will away the memory of her upcoming deadlines. And this. “Maybe you just need to get laid. A proper, genuine good f-”
“Shoko.”
And she’s cracking her first laugh of the day, ducking underneath her computer screen with a sigh as Yaga passes by dangerously close. “Well, you were thinking about it. Harlot.”
You’re sighing, too - though for a much different reason, she imagines.
Gaze narrowing as you finally rip them away from the blond-haired man dwarfing the corporate cubicle opposite the two of you. Bumbling and fixing the glasses on his face for the nth time this hour. “W-well it doesn’t help that he’s hot.”
Shoko’s mere milliseconds away from opening her sharp mouth once more - and you’re mere milliseconds away from wincing at what was surely to fall from them. Before-
A call of your name.
Ah, saved by the bell - or, your managing editor, more like. Though, you weren’t sure if you’d consider it “saving” when Yaga’s holding out a crisp stack of documents your way. Brows furrowed underneath his sunglasses, he gruffs out, “They finally cleared the pitch for your article on that flower. You’re good to go.”
“O-oh, that’s great. Thank you.” Plastering on a simpering smile on your face, you’re hastily clasping those papers. “I’ll get started on the interviews right away.”
Articles on flower shops weren’t quite the adrenaline-thumping journalism you’d expected to work on when you first joined this company. Initially concocting fantasies about interviewing your city’s nefarious villains or perhaps even…Superman .
But ah, those were just dreams. And it seems that someone here had to report on things like mysterious flower shipments to local florists - which just-so-happened to be you.
You’re pulled out of your pitiful little reverie by another echo of your name. Turning back to Yaga, brows raised. “Yes?”
“And take Nanami with you.”
Oh.
Oh.
“Ah, sorry you’re paired up with me, Nanami.” You’d be chuckling much, much later when you’d gathered your files and your wits to be stuffed inside an elevator with your coworker. “I’d imagine something like this probably wouldn’t have been your ideal first taste of real journalism.”
Eyes straying anywhere but where you could spy the way the suit buttons over his chest looked like they were about to pop! Nanami was unfairly attractive, even when he was slouched and nervously struggling to meet your eyes with his honeypool ones.
Always known around the rest of the company to be so timid - but you get the feeling that he was being extra jumpy around you.
He’s shaking his head - golden strands of hair curtaining his handsome face. “Please don’t worry. I’m only grateful that you’re taking me with you, I-I promise to try my best not to be a burden, ma’am.”
“Aw, no need to call me that. We’re the same age, after all.” Subtly, you’re mashing the button for the ground floor a few more times. Suddenly reminded of how dizzyingly tiny this space was. How much of it he was occupying. “And I can’t promise that I won’t be a burden, either.”
You’d meant it as a joke - you really did. But after seeing the way that Nanami’s forehead crinkles with a furrow, you almost wish you could take back those words.
“Anyone would be lucky to have you as a partner.” He’s mumbling - such earnestness dripping from his rich baritone that you can feel your eyes widening a fraction. And Nanami sees it, too.
“Oh?”
“I mean-” Fingers fumbling to push up his thick-rimmed glasses, he’s tightening his yellow speckled tie almost as if he wished to choke away that burning flush creeping up from the back of his drooped neck and blossoming at the tips of his ears. “Just- just that you’re one of the most c-competent journalists in our company and I’m only honored to be learning from the best and- o-oh, it seems we’re here.”
It’s a wonder that Nanami noticed - it’s a wonder that you noticed once those metallic doors parted like a curtain to reveal the bustling lobby. Finally here.
He’s holding out the curved end of one big, strong arm, bent at the elbow to show off the straining stretch of his flexing biceps. And you can’t help but ogle. “M-may I?”
It takes you copious seconds of staring at the thoroughly outlined bulge of his sculpted arm for you to finally snap to your senses. And a few more to finally realize what he was asking.
Something warm and mushy pools in your stomach. Fuck.
Tentatively wrapping your hands around the rock-hard mounds of flesh so that Nanami - ever-the-gentleman - could tenderly escort you out, as if this was a ballroom and not your workplace.
And you can’t help but think that perhaps you didn’t mind tedious interviews if it went anything like this.
.
.
.
“So, there’s no sender address?”
“Nope.”
“No date?”
“Nada.”
“And no postage?”
“Tch, I wish!”
You’re tapping your trusty pen against the parchment of the notepad, gears wracking in your thoroughly overworked brain. “Mr. Itadori, is there a possibility that this might be a prank?”
Wasuke Itadori shakes his head with a grunt, weathered fingers brushing over the aggressively violet petals of a flower you think looked too bizarre to even be pulled out of your very dreams. He’s tapping the stiff flower once. Twice.
And you’re gasping when a tiny puff of shimmering pink billows out like a heady cloud. Perfumed. Hypnotizing. A musky vanilla that makes you draw in further, and reminds you of- Eyes peeking over at an aloof Nanami…him.
“See? Smells jus’ like my wife’s cheap citrus perfume. N’ unless she’s haunting me from beyond the grave as she said she would, it seems too elaborate of a prank ta me. It’s obviously livin’, but I can’t find any information on this flower for the life of me.” The older man crosses his arms, scowling, “Ya have no idea how many times I’ve had ta stop my stupid grandson from trying to eat this thing.”
Humming, you’re jotting down a few notes - fingers tremoring ever-so-slightly at Nanami’s burning gaze right beside you. “Have there been any strange effects on the other flora since you’ve acquired this special flower?”
“Nah, nothing at all- that’s the thing, s’like it’s alien or something. Just showed up at my door one day n’ I dunno what it is.” He’s grouching - and you have to agree. That is strange.
You’d never heard of any other florist’s receiving this type of strange…gift?
But you can’t voice anything more before a voice sounds from outside the see-through door, and the man before you clicks his tongue. “Ah! Dammit, that reminds me- my flower vendor’s here already. Excuse me while I step outside, you can throw the lil’ gremlin in with the marigolds if he bothers ya too much.”
You’re holding back a chuckle - honestly, this was nothing like you expected, you think you would have enjoyed this interview regardless.
Wasuke was a doting grandpa - as much as he may deny it. And his tiny, pink-haired menace of a grandson was positively bouncing off the walls at having official journalists enter the cozy flower shop. Dangling midair off of a closely-observing Nanami’s shoulders with two chubby arms wrapped around the other’s neck.
Though, you certainly weren’t complaining at the sight.
“Hey- pretty lady- mister Nananamin-” Yuji’s squeaking into his ear. “Are you two married?”
You’re sure that if Wasuke was within earshot he’d have grabbed the child by the scruff of his neck. But, alas, Nanami was beared with none of that mercy.
Teasing, “Hmm, would you like to answer this, Nanami?”
“No- I mean yes! N-no, this lovely lady and I are not married.” He’s huffing out a low bout of laughter, massive palms barely even having to try to pick up Yuji’s wiggling body. And you can’t stop the way your heart lurches when he’s softly cradling the younger boy in one arm - fuck, you really need to get yourself together.
“Why not?”
And perhaps for the first time since you’ve known him, Nanami Kento looked truly and utterly stunned. Hazel eyes pleading your way, mouth opening and closing a few desperate times. “Well…”
But Yuji only plows on with the oblivious confidence that only comes with being freshly five. “Then, since you’re erm- what was that word Megumi said? Uh- d-divowced, can I marry her?”
Ah.
Giggling behind your palm, you’re almost on the verge of saving your poor coworker. Almost.
That is, before it happens.
CRASH!
You can’t hear anything, you can’t feel anything, you can’t see anything - other than a bright, blood red. Fuck-
“N-Nanami? Yuji?” Your voice is shrill - cracking, and you’re unsure if the way you grimace is because of how utterly pathetic you sound or because of the complete devastation in front of you. “Wh-what…”
Shit.
Heaps upon heaps of concrete and wrecked pieces of building pile upon what was once the Itadori family flower shop. Flowerpots knocked over, the ceiling crumbling, bright morning sunlight filtering from above to illuminate a thick blanket of swirling dust.
As if a whirlwind had wrecked it through and caught up you right in the middle of it - purposefully.
Shit shit shit-
Gasping, heaving to try and scramble your thoughts into one big coherent one - but then instantly regretting it when your entire body wracks with painful coughs. You’re so confused - head churning with exactly what’s happening right now - that you barely even register the large hand soothing over your back.
Your ears ring with a sharp keen, eyes bleary and tinging with black - it hurts. And you’re pressing a hand to your forehead with a hiss. Unbalanced voice on the edges of shattering into a zillion pieces, “What happened- wh-where-”
“Shhh shh shh, you’re going to be alright, darling.”
What?
Your head snaps up - it’s then that you notice it.
Finally.
Body tucked safely behind the overarching counter of the flower shop, far from where the sudden impact of something would have hit you. You’re crouched against all the wood and debris that dug uncomfortably into your legs. Your hands tremble - but not just with fear, no, with the tearful cries of a curled-up Yuji snuggling thankfully safely into your body.
All in the arms of…Nanami?
But, wait, no- it was as if it wasn’t him at all.
Because gone were those heavy glasses framing his pretty face, and you’re blinking your lethargic lids urgently to drink in the stern, serious features they’d left behind. Brows furrowed, plump lips pulled tightly when he’s clenching his jaw, muscles flexing as he’s holding you two tighter - as if subconsciously.
There was something different about him, something…magnetic, like a flip had just switched on. And you’re definitely blaming the way your head was swimming - but you can’t help but think he looked so hot.
Fuck - now’s not the time.
Soft locks of blond were windswept to slick back, that snug coat of his tattered onto the floor to display an emblazoned logo that you wouldn’t be able to mistake even if you tried.
“You’re…” you breathe, and it’s a wonder that the syllables come out coherent at all. Jaw falling slack at the glimpses of that familiar skin-tight red and blue suit you’ve seen smeared across every magazine, every news column, and every show these days. “...Superman.”
And it takes a second. Two.
Until Nanami’s long lashes flutter with a little pant of laughter, a singular thick finger straightening into a shush-ing gesture when he’s smiling down warmly at a sniffling Yuji, “This’ll be our little secret, right?”
“Y-yes!” The little boy hiccups, plump palms scrambling to cover his mouth. And you think you could spy a tiny smile rising through his short fingers. Though it wavers, “Mister Nananamin- I mean- Mister Superman, my grandpa is still outside…”
He’s nodding, “I’ll keep you all safe-” Before turning to you with eyes so scorching that you can feel yourself inch in closer against the stiff fabric of his supersuit. “-all of you.”
“Ahhh~ touching touching. Didn’t think I’d run into dear ol’ Superman here.” A high, eerie voice rings over the thundering blood pumping to your head, and you’re burying even deeper into Nanami’s sculpted side. “But ah, not to worry, Man of Steel, m’jus’ here to pick up a little lost package of my friend’s so…”
Nanami’s stiffening underneath your touch, and with a slow nod he’s getting up from your little hiding place.
And if looks could kill - which you knew Superman could do - then the greyish, patched man in front of you wouldn’t have been waltzing in through the utterly destroyed door already. As if he owned the place. Owned all of you.
“Mahito, we’ve spoken before.” Nanami’s voice was hardened with a growl in a way you’ve never heard. Fuming. “Leave now and no one gets hurt.”
There’s a metallic click! resonating across what was left of the four walls of this shop, as if he was loading some type of gun. But not as you’ve ever known one.
And Nanami’s eyes narrow with a thick coating of tension when Mahito’s fingers curl around that flower - the exact one you’d come here to interview about in the first place. Plucking it neatly from the vase before crushing the waxy petals between his fingers.
“You sure ya wanna talk to me like that when you’ve got civilians here, Superman?” Voice airy, delighted. As if he wasn’t currently loading an opening in that specialized gun with the gooey insides of that flower. Before pointing it - right at the bullseye where you were scoured away. “Especially with sweetcheeks here? Don’t think I don’t know how soft ya are for-”
Nanami stretches into an attack-ready position. “So you’re after the innocents again.”
“Ah- no, actually.” Mahito snickers. Snickers. “I’m after you.”
BANG!
It all happens so fast that you’re not even sure if everything’s part of your imagination - whether this is all still a dream.
Because in the bat of an eye, Mahito has the slightly-glowing barrel of the gun pointed your way. Bursting the counter into nothing but a few shockwaves and shards of plastic.
And in the bat of much less, Nanami’s shielding you with his entire body, sculptured front glissading against your back, beefy arms curled snugly around your waist. Head tucked over yours to make sure every inch of you is protected, Yuji placed gently at his side.
Your bleary vision clouds with a familiar fog of pink - dazzling and addictive with that same musky perfume. Was- wasn’t this what Wasuke had shown you earlier?
“Shit! Wh-what the fuck is this?!” You’re hearing off in the distance - or perhaps it was right beside you, you didn’t even know at this point. “That damn Hanami- this isn’t the poison-”
He’s letting off a shiver, before gritting out. One arm holding out to you just as it had in the elevator, the memory hits you with pang. “Y-you two need to get to safety. Now. May I?”
If it weren’t for the hours of droning meetings faced with Nanami, the weeks of trying to get him to speak with you - months of memorizing every syllable that dripped from his pretty lips, then you wouldn’t even have noticed. But you did.
“W-wait-.” Your throat scratches and struggles to get the words out, matching the shakes in his own tone. “You’re hurt, aren’t you?”
But the only answer you get is a soft, mysterious smile. And the repeated hum - as if you weren’t wrangling yourself around to peek at where he was undoubtedly hit. “No need to worry about me, my love- ah. My first and foremost priority is you two-”
“But you’re hurt.” you’re crying out, gasping when Mahito’s eyes lock with yours. And he leers, knobbly fingers fussing to reset that weapon once more.
“I know.” Stray tresses of golden flaxen stick to Nanami’s sweat-glimmered forehead like an impromptu crown, and you don’t know how he has it in himself to smile down at you. Cradling Yuji in one arm, and you in the other as if the two of you were easily weightless - you can only gape at the adorable dimple digging into the left corner of his mouth. “Now, hold on tight.”
You do - and you can only blink before your savior is flying.
Now, you’d always marvelled at the sheer heights that Superman reached on those live newscasts. Wondering just how euphoric it must be to soar through the air, free from every care in the world - well, as much as you could be when the fate of the world rests on your shoulders, at least.
But this? This was heaven.
Wind whipping your face like an icy mask, Yuji’s high peels of laughter tinkling in your ears. You can’t do anything but watch and watch as the demolished flower shop grows smaller. A speck.
“Oh- oh my god.” You’re whispering thorough scrunched eyes, nails clawing deeply into the mountainous curve of his well-defined deltoid.
And if it hurt, then Nanami didn’t give a single sign. Instead, he’s laughing - quiet, and as delicate at the cottony clouds passing you by. “S’alright, s’alright. Super- Ken’s here. N’ m’not gonna drop you.” You’re cutting through the air so fast - staggeringly - but right now, when Nanami’s boring his eyes into yours, it felt like time itself had stumbled to a stop. He’s pulling you even closer to his powerful body, “I’d never let ya go, darling.”
Yet, when the view of your cozy Metropolis apartment comes into view - you almost whine at the fact that he has to.
“Don’t you worry about a thing now.” Nanami’s ruffling Yuji’s windblown mop of pink hair - even more tousled with the wind. “I’ll be going, and I’ll keep both you and your grandpa safe.”
And looking at him right now - velvety crimson cape flowing at the wind seeping in through your open window, one arm bulging with muscles as he leans readily against the frame - you wonder how you could’ve ever thought that anyone other than him could be Superman.
“Come back safe.” You’re choking out, hands clasped. “W-we’re still not done with our article…”
“Mhm, you better hold me to that, ma’am.”
And with that, Superman - Nanami - was zipping through the air at a mach speed that made you realize he was intentionally slowing it down for both you and Yuji on your way here.
Fingers quivering, it takes you what feels like practically forever to turn your television on - precisely onto a live newstream of how Superman had entered the site of a villain attack. Ready to save. To be a hero.
Eyes locked mindlessly on the tiny blimp of red and blue onscreen, you cuddle a fidgety Yuji on the bouncy cushions of your sofa. For your jittery nerves just as much as his. “Your husband is so cool, lady- he’s Superman! Oh- whoops, shhhh! Tha’s a secret though…”
“Yeah…” you’re breathing out. “Yeah, he is cool, isn’t he?”
.
.
.
Forty-five saved, three buildings wrecked, and one injured.
One injured - him.
Though, Nanami wouldn’t quite count himself with any civilians injured or…worse. He never quite does.
But, oh, it was so hard not to when the first thing he’s peeling back that hazy layer of fatigue in his eyes is you - you, you, you. In all your glorious self, big, pearlescent tears spilling down your pretty cheeks and splattering in tiny puddles onto his bare chest.
His bare, bandaged chest.
And for a second, powers set aside, Nanami thinks he might just have died and reached heaven. How fitting that the angels looked like you.
Voice hoarse as he’s muttering his first few words, “Are- are you alright?”
“-stupid. Asking about m-me when you’re the one hurt. Didn’t even-” Your sobs garble out into words, and you’re half-heartedly hitting your fist against the unbandaged part of Nanami’s skin. “Don’t you ever do that again- you had me- so worried.”
Ah, he’d won the fight - and he finally felt like it.
Silently, he makes quick work abandoning those delicate bandages of yours - a strange part of him almost hurt to unravel your work like this. To unravel nothing but silken, unblemished skin after hours of healing abilities.
Though, Nanami gives all the credit to your care, anyway.
Warm fingers cup your head to nuzzle your clammy face against the crook of his neck. Practically draped over your bed and onto his body now, and you could feel his burning skin, smell those musky pheromones of his. “Got it got it, I won’t be scaring you like that again.”
“Th-the neighbors were so worried when you just showed up all injured n’ half-fainting at my window, y’know? I had to bribe them to be quiet with a few of the flowers that Yuji’s grandpa left.” You’re muttering, more to fill the strangely thickening silence than anything.
“Ah, tell- tell Mr. Itadori that I will have his shop reconstructed by the end of this week.” He’s whispering, voice so strained that you had to crane your head to hear him - close. “Was Yuji doing alright?”
“Mhm, never been better, apparently. He just left with his grandpa, and they invited us over for dinner before…” Brows furrowing, words withering away on your tongue at the agonized knit in his brow. There was something…different. “Are- are you really okay, Kento?”
Nanami doesn’t comment about that use of his first name - nor does he embarrassingly babble out how it might just be his new favorite song now.
He can’t.
Because Nanami was panting - groaning. Pearly whites clenched so hard that you think you could hear them creak.
There was a strange simmering flush creeping up his body, staining it such a delicious strawberry pink that made your mouth water- or maybe that was just the emanating clouds of vanilla musk saturating your lungs. Clinging onto Nanami’s body like a dripping second skin-
“I…” he’s gulping, half-lidded eyes shifting away from yours like he couldn’t even bear to look at you right now. Didn’t know what he would do. “-my apologies. But what that fucker- ah- excuse my language. What Mahito hit me with seems to not have been a poison, as I had thought. Rather, now that it’s finally spread through my body, I feel it’s something else entirely… ”
“What is it- does it hurt?”
“It seems to be…” Gesturing wildly with his hands, careful not to jostle you. “-an aphrodisiac…of sorts.”
You’re letting your lips part, “Oh. Wait- ‘of sorts?’”
And ah, there was the timid Kento you knew. He could never lie to you. “It- itseemstoonlyaffectthoseinlove- B-but my healing abilities are working and-” Nanami’s sitting up faster than you could blink. Words running a mile-a-minute, “-and I shall leave in case you feel uncomfortable with me here-”
“Why would you leave?” It’s slipping between your lips before you can register. Still mulling over those previous words - they explained. A lot.
Nanami stills, hands clasped around those creamy blankets he was flinging off, sure to disappear into the starry night. “P-pardon?”
Well, fuck.
You’re steeling your gaze - you’ve waited this long. And if there was anything about Nanami’s afflicted aphrodisiac, it was that it was contagious.
Making you breathe in a heavy gulp of candied air, “Aphrodisiac, huh? I’ve read about those, and don’t you think that since you saved me-” Slowly - ever-so-slowly dragging your hands to rest on his smooth shoulders, faces inches away. “-it’s only fair that I help? Besides���I can smell it too.”
Oh, he gasps. A confession if any.
Fingers tangling through those damp locks. “But if- if you get tangled up with me- who knows what other villains will come after you. I might’ve taken down Mahito today, but Kenjaku is still out there. And I have to keep ya safe.”
“Well who’s going to keep you safe?” You scoff, refusing - rejecting - to relent.
“I don’t need to be safe if it means that I can keep that beautiful smile on your face everyday.” And maybe it was the aphrodisiac, maybe it was how close you were to him in this dimly heady lightning, but Nanami didn’t seem like he meant to say that out loud. Not at all.
Basking in your spellbound silence. “My love…feel this?” He’s clasping one hand around your own, letting you rover a greedy grope of his plush pecs - his heartbeat. Thundering. Frighteningly so. “Th-this isn’t any old aphrodisiac, especially considering me.”
“And?”
“And that means, darling-” But he was, too, just as much. “That m’gonna want ya…need ya. So badly and fuck! M’gonna make ya forget what it feels like without me…” One rounded index trailing up, up, up to about halfway up your tummy. “-here.”
You’re shuddering, taking in deep gulps of that electric air. “...A-and?”
He’s jerking you forwards with a mere fraction of that superhuman strength to splay your body over his towering one. Face lolling into the cushiony valley of his pecs, legs straddling that slutty waist of his in a way that made you shy. Right on top of his drenched boxers. That needy spot between your legs heating up just as much as his condensing breath did on your skin. “I can’t promise that when I fuck you, I won’t break you.”
Fuck. Was this really the same, adorably feeble Nanami Kento from work? You weren’t sure, but you knew one way to find out…
“I’ll…hold you to that.”
But before he was Superman, he was Nanami Kento from the journalism department. And who was Nanami Kento against you?
“Such a stubborn girl.” You’re being surprised with a sudden implanting of his thick set of fingers leaving a sudden swat on your ass, voice teetering on what almost sounded like a growl. “But you’re mine, aren’tcha?”
Your fingers dapple along the sweat-dampened little curls of blond at the sexy edge of his undercut. And it seemed like the more the aphrodisiac boiled into his veins, the more and more he burned feverishly.
Senses superhuman but already heightening with the coarse need glossing his brain - he could practically taste your arousal.
Panting. Charming maw falling parted to mist you own with such rousing puffs of his scent, “Kiss me. Please- kiss me.”
And- fuck, Nanami kisses like he couldn’t get enough of you.
Was absolutely drunk with just a simple slide of his pursed mouth against your own, from a tender little peck until he only got greedier and greedier-
“Mmmm-” Rasping grunts curdle at the back of his throat, slurring into a low whine when he’s wrenching a splayed-out hand onto your scalp and dragging you away. Manhandling. Sultry sucks being left on the tenderest spots of your throat, sure to make the office talk tomorrow. “Can feel how fuckin’ wet ya are f’me already, darlin’. S’this the aphrodisiac or you?”
God, it was so embarrassing.
That silky little puddle of your reflective slick was flooding from between your flimsy panties to press gluey little smooches against his manspread front.
You’re mumbling, words stumbling over one another when your hips peek in to seat just above that swollen crown of his cock. Already rock-hard. “Y-you don’t have to say it out loud.”
You barely even realize how you’re slipping and sliding in needy little gyrations of your hips before Nanami’s putting a shuddering halt to it. One rude hand curling around that perfect curvature of your waist, he’s snickering at how you’re letting off a thoroughly disappointed whine. “My apologies, but s’hard f’me to act like a hah- gentleman when ya have such gorgeous lips…” He’s chuckling out - humorless, parking one big thumb against the corner of your mouth. “These ones, too.”
He couldn’t even finish his sentence - couldn’t even finish his thought.
Not before bruising your lips with some of the filthiest little sucks on your lower lip - like he’d simply gone way too long without kissing you. Once. Twice. Again and again and-
“O-oh!” Your hands scramble to find purchase up on his broad shoulders when he’s darting down one fat thumb to paint with all your silvery pussy slick. Drawing slow meshes of circles on your soppy slit up and down up and down up and- “N-Nanami-”
“Kento.” He’s cutting you off with a fracturing furrow of his brows, “We’re way past last names, don’tcha think, my love?”
Oh, that sweetly rugged tone stirred up something inside you that made you want Nanami now now now.
“Oh? S’that so?” Ravenous edges of his fingers pulling aside your sticky panties to the side to sidle in with one thick drag of his digits, they’re being lacquered with such a heavy layer of your sweet, sweet juices that Nanami can’t help but drag his fingerpads upwards to sniff. To suck one by one. Sweet. “You’re heh- babblin’ cute nonsense, but fuuuuck this cute cunt is talkin’ ta me even filthier.”
In such sappy awe at the way your puffy pussy flaps were sugarcoating him all the way down till Nanami was dripping at the wrist. Metallic wristwatch from work all shiny and ruined-
“Need you t-to touch me inside, Ken–” you’re huffing, circling lazy grinds across his roughened hands. “Please?”
“Anythin’ for my girl.”
And Nanami’s giving your ass another good thwack! of his palm, feeling the vibrato of delicious jiggles before hauling your entire body higher and higher. Letting his back hit the silken sheets of your bed within a fluid motion, before you even know it you’re hovering your clothed cunt over his swelteringly fevered mouth.
Just one sudden move and you’d be riding his face - exactly what Nanami wanted right now. Yearned.
“Oh- wait-” You’re startling, fingers fumbling with that tight pencil skirt you’d worn to work specifically for him to see. “Didn’t take this-”
“Not a problem.” He’s grunting, only looking up with droopy eyes at where you’re straddling his handsome face, decorated with tawny strands of hair when he’s grinning. Thick fingers clasping onto the hem at your waist, “Hold on tight n’ show me that pretty pussy.”
RIIIIIP–!
Your skirt is on the floor, torn through like butter - your blouse and bra soon to follow. Impatient. And it’s only once Nanami’s done savoring that sweet embarrassment wafting off of you, the way your drenched pussymound smells so sugary sweet - does he even consider freeing you of them.
He’s scrunching up the sodden wet fabric into a little treasure hidden underneath your pillow - something for him later…
And you’re even wetter than usual, that contagious spell of aphrodisiac making your eyes glaze with sheer need.
“Aw, look at thaaaat.” Nanami’s breathing - enchanting. The curves of his lips lifting into a smirk at the way your dripping slit treacles a fresh coating of slick all down his tongue, letting it sliiiide a lazy trailway to hit the back of his scratchy tastebuds. “Atta girl, b-better be taking all of me if yer that eager, hm?”
And Nanami is so needy - he’s so desperate to have your clingy pussy make a mess all over his face as soon as possible.
Breathing in like some pervert to take in your perfumed scent. Reaching up to smear a wet glissade of his lips down your own, and you think that it might just be the filthiest French snog that anyone has ever placed on you. The buttoned edge of his nose mushes against your peeked clit so harshly.
He’s blazing, cock thumping for more- With a low, heated whistle, he’s nuzzling his sweat-glossed forehead up against your moistened inner thigh. Layers upon layers of your slick coveting his features and stinging delicate little ropes that connect his maw to your cunt.
“Mmm- fuckin’ sweet- fuckin’ hot–” Nanami keens out, pillowy palms spreading your legs so comfortably apart until you felt like he was cracking you open. “C’mon now, sit your f-full weight on me, my love.”
You’re sputtering, thighs all achy with fatigue. “B-but-”
“Darling…” Nanami’s smiling, eyes crinkling adorably at the corners. “Not to be conceited - forgive my tone - but I’m Superman. N’ if there was any way m’to die, then it would be right between these pretty legs of yours.”
And you didn’t know whether it was the fumes of vanilla aphrodisiac taking over his melty brain completely because Nanami was ruthless.
Your dear, sweet coworker was kissing the very edges of your bloated cunt with one of his oversized fingers. Sifting through to draw numerous innocent hearts on your sensitive clit, before plunging down,down, down-
“Ah!” You’re yelping at the stinging stretch of his souring fingerpads, swirling in mushy little gyrations around and around your elastic entrance. Extra sensitive right now- damn that flower. “H-how is your finger already feeling so…”
“Good? Does my heh- good girl like this?” He’s cooing up at you, feeling your gloopy cunt with such copious inches of his long hands.
And with such staggering fingers you could only imagine how big he’d be down there…
SWAT!
“Aww, don’t space out already. Wanna hear those p-pretty moans even longer-” The jutting pout of Nanami’s oh-so-cute lower lip smudges against your saturated clit. Tingling and hot when he tilts his head to bite. “‘Sides, how are ya gonna f-fit my cock if this is too big, hm?”
You’re holding back a wrecked whimper when he’s chancing another rummaging finger to part your pursed pussy lips. Ramming up and down to drag a sultry stripe across every nook and gummy ridge, to feel for-
“F-fuck-” Head throwing back, your spine arches into a tight little bow that slops the entirety of your cunt down onto Nanami’s eagerly awaiting mouth. “There- there there there- don’ stop, Kentooo.”
He’s been waiting for this forever. And he was going to get his fill.
And you could feel the way his mouth curled into a flirty smile, the back of his sharp chin slathered against the very back of where you needed him the most.
“Mhm– Not gonna let ya go-” As if to prove his point, one free hand is all it takes for him to latch onto your waist and pin you to ride his face with reckless abandon. Exactly how he wanted it. “Wanna marry ya- be mine- please-” Because Nanami Kento didn’t want to move an inch - couldn’t bear parting with the exact sweet treat that’s haunted his most lecherous dreams since the day he fucking met you. “-never- ah- never after th-this.”
Such pretty, pretty melodies resonate out every time Nanami’s slobbering honeyed flurries of sucks and kisses onto your cunt - and not just from between your lips.
No, your teary pussymound was so loud with wiry sploshes of sap. And he simply can’t help himself from nodding his head with every waterlogged swash - as if he was having a full fucking conversation.
“S’right- m’wife’s always so right aren’tcha-” Nanami’s rawly drenched fingers pump outside - just for a split-second - to pap! pap! pap! his calloused pads on that syrupy little stud of your clit before curling his fingers into his mouth and sucking. Cleaning himself off. “Sh-should hear what yer gorgeous pussy’s been hah- sayin’- such a talkative girl, isn’t she?”
And those drunken chestnut eyes of his were just pleading - begging - for you to babble out, “Wh-what is she saying, Ken?”
“She’s sayin’- boasting, actually…” he’s drawling off, and with just how utterly fucked that Nanami looked right now, you wouldn’t be surprised if he’d lost his train of thought. Giggling - giggling out, “-that she can take three.”
He was determined to prove it to you.
To swell your adhesive walls open with three of his pulpy fingers until you felt like you were going to burst. Those thickset globular ends of his digits reaching for that precious little bullseye of your cunt - he’s caressing you lovingly from the inside.
Over and over back and forth in maddening crawls until you were halfway through sobbing. And a primal itch inside him purrs at the sight of those prettily glistening tears in your eyes.
Ah, you looked so gorgeous riding his face like this - and, really, it wasn’t Nanami’s fault that his mouth felt a little left out…was it?
“B-both?” You’re dawdling your limp arms precariously onto the mahogany headboard - something that lasts for a generous two seconds before he’s unlatching your hands to dig harshly into his prespired tug. Firm arm around your first nudging you to pull- “You’re seriously gonna t-try n’ fit both?”
Both being the way that Nanami’s overfilling your snug channel with the dual penetration of his long, extra-sensitive tongue.
Hissing with a slightly feral snarl marring those features when your tight hole won’t give way, Nanami’s bumping his nose against your sensitive nub with shy pecks once. Twice. Thrice to bully his feverish muscle inside.
“H-hngh—” he’s groaning at the tugging squeeze of your rubbery cunt. Stray fingers scissoring open your gluey walls, “Need ya to m-milk my tongue- know you can- ah! Gonna take it like my good girl, aren’tcha?”
And it happens all at once.
You don’t know what you’re more surprised at - the way that he’s somehow managing to wedge in that sugarcoated drive of his tongue, or the way that you’re cumming.
Your own high taking you by surprise - taking all but Nanami by surprise.
And you’ve never felt anything like this before, eyes flashing with white-hot stars.
They’re burning into your brain and rendering you absolutely stupid with every bludgeon of his fingers into your gooey depths. So fast and hard that you can feel the recoil from your bulging g-spot sprinting in cratering vibrations down your spine.
“Nana- Ken-ohhh fuck!” Your mouth drivels away mindlessly, the euphoria so good that you can feel pools of dribble spilling from the corners of your lips with every grind. Thighs quaking, somehow wanting more- shit, seems the aphrodisiac won’t be done after just one…“M’cumming- ngh- m’cumming m’c-cumming.”
“Mhmmm- already know.” Words sinking down into what almost sounds like whines, and Nanami almost feels like he could cum in his pants. “Come now- pull on m’hair n’ r-ride me through that pretty high.” Filthy. Depraved. He’s curling the deliciously gravely tastebuds on his tongue to lap up every one of your knotted waves of slick, letting viscous wad after wad hit the back of his throat with a lewd splat!. “H-hehhh. Chatty pussy- y’know what else she’s sayin’?”
Shit- the idea makes your fingers nimbly pull at Nanami’s soft strands until he’s wafting out a low atta giiirl. Mumbling through croaking moans that just won’t stop dropping from your lips, “Wh-ngh! what?”
“She’s hngh- saying…” Yeah, it wasn’t the aphrodisiac - it definitely wasn’t the aphrodisiac that had him losing his fucking mind like this. It was you. “-that yer gonna g-give me another biiiig one very soon.”
Oh.
That wasn’t a promise - Nanami didn’t have to promise that.
Because he was so intoxicated by that caramel scent sticking to you. Increasing twofold when with a sodden swat! down your bawling slit, you’re being stretched out with three of his digits until you were wide agape. Embarrassingly, so.
But not for Nanami - with a tantalized loll of his head into the silk-covered pillows, he’s gifting your sloppy entrance with a thick wad of saliva.
As if the need was infectious - that orbed mass of spit flooding the inside of your cozy pussy just before his tongue is.
“Ngh- s-so hot- ya like that new lipstain, my love?” He’s gulping down the excess slushes of your slick with every thrust past your glutinous walls, hard. Sloppy. Making such a mess on purpose, because for all how straightlaced Nanami was - all that shattered when it came to you. “-s-so sweet. Ah- h-hold my hand if s’too much, darling.”
“Feels so s-sensitive but…” Your jaw drops into a soft oh! when his rugged tongue drags over the globed bruises of his fingertips inside. Fingers scrambling for his free ones in midair, “-but I want more, Kentooo-”
With the leverage on your hand, he’s helping your burning thighs manage out a few more soppy strokes up and down.
Your head is so dizzy by now, and you can barely see straight. Barely stumble to match every sopping smooch being punished upon your overwhelmed pussy. “Look so pretty like this- So tight- so cute. Probably c-couldn’t even ngh- fit my tip this way.”
“S-so mean.”
“I’d be nice if ya- hngh- spit in my mouth.”
Gasping, “Like this?” But you didn’t even have to ask - you knew the answer in Nanami’s eyes, in the way he was smearing your pussy lips thoroughly ajar. In the way his dilated pupils run all the way to the back of his lips when you do.
Your greedy gaze dazes back down to take in that heavenly sight of him - and you almost wish that you still had your camera for the article today with you. Because this was a sight you wanted to remember forever and ever.
He’s so pretty with his golden locks splayed out like an angelic halo on the pillowcase below, clammy skin flushed rose red, swollen lips coral pink and gumming over your gluey ones like it was his favorite candy. Sucking. Even harder at the sloshes of translucent sap that laminated his face down to his chin, his neck, and all the way up to his cheekbones.
Thighs stuttering and sticking with every grind on top of his face, it’s all you can do to manage out a pitchy, “Think I might just- K-Ken–”
He’s swirling up a lazy few fingertips to your needy clit and pinching. “-cum all over m’face again, my girl.”
You do. You do like you can’t stop.
And he’s supping up every draining burble of your flooding slick like it was an antidote to this little ah…indisposition.
He says so, too - gurgling out wet little scientific explanations into your cunt that make your high peak with orgasms upon orgasms. Your second, third, and forth meshing into one to make you practically convulse. Nanami’s forced to dig his fingers into the plush of your thighs to stop you from escaping.
And the question about whether this was part of his powers is halfway out of your mouth before Nanami’s leaving off a final swat! again your drooling pussy.
Chuckling - crazed - at the wispy sprays of juices that makes you gush out.
“C’mon now, do those legs s-still work?” Nanami can’t hide the way that his deep voice wobbles into what almost sounds like a laugh. High.
You’re being ragdolled with a squelching pop! off of his heated mouth and easily lifted to take his third favorite seat of yours - his lap. The second being his mouth, and the first- well, it was sure to be his thoroughly achy, angry cock right about now.
“Ken-”
Nanami couldn’t bear to hear his name in your sweet, whimpering tone - he just couldn’t. Shutting you up with a slow slide of a kiss, “Yeahhh, darlin’...kiss me- more. Lick it allll up.”
“D-didn’t think you’d be so dirty…” you’re gasping, when his tongue pries your slagging maw open to once more spit. Sweet. Caramelized.
“Oh, my pretty girl…” Two of his soppingly wet fingers smush your cheeks into a pathetic pout, “You haven’t seen dirty just yet. Now- spit back in m-my mouth, why don’tcha?”
You do - splattering a messy mark right at that adorable dimple of his with your messy aim. But he loves it - it was so sweet. Darting out a tongue to extract back all those sugary remnants before giving you one, final French kiss.
Begging in that growling way of his, “Whaddya- whaddya want from me- I’ll give ya anything- anything-” Both arms looping your waist to plaster your sweaty front into his Herculean one, you have to hold back a keen at how your hardened nipples massage against his pecs.
But, most of all, what you could feel - what you so badly wanted to feel - was that long, thick outline that jerked once you glide away sweaty strands of Nanami’s hair. Desperate.
“Wan’ your cock, Kento.” You were way past feeling any sort of embarrassment now. Winding your arms around his sculpted shoulders, “N-need you ngh- inside me. Now.”
Of course, whatever you wanted - Nanami Kento would give.
He’s tugging down on the elastic waistband of those too-tight boxers, and your ears burn with the saturated schwf! of soaked fabric on skin. And that superhero suit…did not do him justice.
Nanami’s slouching back on one arm when you’re oh-so-impatiently helping him kick off that useless piece of fabric. Head tilting with an uncharacteristically cocky smirk, “Like what you ah- see, hm?”
Shit, did you ever.
Because it’s always the quiet ones - always.
And with your seat position right at the thick, globular mushroom tip of Nanami’s cock, you knew that he’d be packing a staggering few inches. The mere outline of it puckering up against your pussyflaps enough to get you to gulp with nervousness.
But this? This had your jaw dropping.
Fingers trailing down that lightly fleeced copper happy trail of his in utter disbelief. Because not only was Nanami Kento big - he was big.
Swollen, glistening near-nine inches that jerked at the vulgar size difference of your digits struggling to wrap around his ridiculous girth. Nestled against bulky breeder balls rounded and weighing heavily underneath his strawberry pink length. He seemed even harder than usual - and it was all for you.
Fuck, that aphrodisiac. This was all for his gorgeous (future) wife.
Lazily drooling out a thick few wads of pearly pre that butters over your fingerpads, and just a simple touch - just one drag of his sweltering hot length makes Nanami whimper-
“O-oh- yeahhh- brace yerself, my girl.” He’s letting his head tumble back with a groan, heavy-handed arms guiding to the fleshy mound of your waist. “Gonna be ah- ruinin’ this pretty cunt-”
Nanami’s making you mewl with a welcoming little thwack! of his plumply bloated cockhead against your puffed-up pussy lips. Making your creaky bedframe sing out a few protests. Stirring out a staccato of one - two - three before finally - finally - slipping right between that pursed pout.
CRASH!
An overwhelmed hand of his grips your headboard the moment he’s pushing and pushing - only to have the strong mahogany break underneath his superstrength. Damn, these powers.
“Awww, look how much yer drooling-” Nanami’s hiccuping with every tiny clench of your gummy walls around that cylindrical intrusion. A mean few fingertips so ferally smearing over the rings upon rings of saturated sap your cunt was slobbering all over his hefty base. Drawing a foggy line with them over your tummy, “G-gonna be riiiight here…h-heh.”
And maybe it was best that your dear Nanami was talking to, well, her. Because just the simple stretch that came with his fattened tip was enough to render you spellbound.
“Nana-”
Smack! “Mhm? M’here, m’here, your dear hngh! Kento is here.”
“Kento- oh my goood-” Nonsensical syllables drooling from your lips and readily available for Nanami to kiss away. Your head slags drunkenly into the crook of his neck with each sinking inch, “S-s’so big, dunno if it’ll even ah- fit.”
“Shhh, s’gonna fit. Deep breaths…deep breaths.”
You’re echoing, trying to time your stumbling gasps to match his. Backfiring when you only obtain lungfuls of his masculine scent, ‘D-deep breaths?“
“Mhmm- deep-” Oh, but even he wasn’t immune to the cloggy clamp of your pussy that had Nanami rutting. “Whoops.” One of his powerful forearms showcase in front of your narrowed vision, ogling all the pumped veins and rippling muscles. “C’mon- bite.”
You’re listening without a second thought, teeth sinking into the smooth skin - gurgling back tiny sobs at the sheer stretch. It felt like you were being split apart.
He’s rolling his tips upwards, glissading you in a cozy massage against the ridges of his sweat-shielded abs. “M’gonna make it- duh. Look at me-” Dextrous fingers curling around your throat to make your woozy gaze focus on him, “Yeah- yeah. Look riiiight at me wh-when I ah- ”
And it takes only the tiniest probe of his thumpingly peaked veins bludgeoning against your tender walls, fuming divot bawling out a few geysers of creamy precum that fill you up scorchingly.
It takes only that for you to cum with an unstable shudder, moans piling on top of moans. You’re digging your fingerpads into Nanami’s damp scalp and pulling when you cum for the nth time on his cock.
You didn’t even know how you were cumming again - why, but you had a feeling that the thickening perfume of vanilla and candy in the room had something to do with it…
“C-cummin’ from jus’ the ah- tip? Seriously?” Nanami’s breathing, chest heaving with awe. Pushing and pushing away the heavy strands of his blond hair just to see you. And the urgent motions only make your pussy slide down even more, spearheading his lusciously right-leaning curve up into your gooey placeholders. “Really are jus- ah- made f’me- really ah! So perfect. So, so perfect.”
You’re watching his huffs turn heated, “Mmm- wanted you to f-fuck me like this ever since I was- ngh at the office.”
“Ohhh what a coincidence.” He grins - grins. “I’ve wan’ed to fuck ya like ah- this, since I first s-saw ya. Woulda fucked ya right then n’ there in your pretty lil’ cubicle if I ah- could.”
Crying out, “More- more more more-”
“Jus’ another inch-” Nose crinkling at the gripping resistance of your tight entrance, you were so slicked-up that you were practically flooding him with delirious puddles of resin. His fat thumb smears open your lips, “S-see? Juuuus a lil’ more-”
Oh…fuck.
He was finally- wait. No, this had to be a dream, right?
“Wait- shiiit- did you seriously-” He’s stuttering - stuttering exactly the way he used to back in the office. Back in his disguise. “Seriously…think ya deserve a little r-reward for that, right?”
Your reward just-so-happened to be another treacly wad of saliva being blasted onto your tongue. And by now you’re doing nothing but letting it easily be swallowed up with a cockdrunk smile. “God, m’feelin’ so hngh! full— c-can feel ya right- here-”
Every jackhammer bullied up into your goopy orifice had Nanami wrecking you from the inside. His crowned, rotund tip prying open those stickily sweet walls of yours, barely even having to try to stir up a wet wipe against your poor cervix.
“Feel me right-” One softened palm splays down across your tummy. Hard. Feeling for that tenderizing whack of his thickly tip into your most precious spots. “-here, huh? Yeahhh- f-feel that bump- touch it. Gonna c-carve out a fuckin’ ngh- cute lil’ bruise right here.”
“P-please.”
And then, with a heady drawl of laughter, Nanami’s dredging out his tired tongue to lick over your rapid pulse like he wanted to bite. Palms still groping that orbed bulge, “Y-you wouldn’t believe what this- ngh- this is makin’ me think…”
Ever-so-curious, even when you’re being fucked stupid like this. “Wh-what?”
Earning you another few vicious ruts into your g-spot, a few thin lines of drool waterfall past his lips. Almost as if the very thought is enough to make him light-headed.
“Jus’ thought a-about how yer always so ngh- pretty.” Muttering low and frantic with every bounce on his painfully hard cock, like he didn’t even want to admit this pussydrunk nonsense. But couldn’t stop. “So pretty when you were handlin’ Yuji today. Pretty when yer all ah- overstuffed with my cock b-but…you’d make an even prettier mama, though.”
Oh.
A mama - Nanami Kento wanted to make you mama.
And he was pressurizing you with pound after pound drilling into your melty depths until you were sure that you were molded around his shape. That mountainous curve of his crownhead striking every bullseyed sweet spot.
“Wan’ it-” Your legs wrangle around his slender waist, heels digging into the pretty dimples at the bottom of his spine. “Want you to f-fill me up so ngh- badly, Kento.”
“S-seriously?” Your words so distracting that it has his riotous cock drilling hard into that spot and skidding away in increasingly sappy thrashes against your battered and bruised cervix. Jaw clenching, “Really wan’ me fuckin’ this cute cunt hngh- p-pregnant, darling?”
Making you only nod and nod and nod-
“Yeahhh- anythin’ my girl ah- wants, huh?” He’s tittering at how adorably your hips were slurring out the tiniest of grinds. Up and down up and down - failing to meet his sloppy cadence, but angling your hips to use him. “N’ right now- all I wan’ is you all ah- round and fuuuuull.”
And it wasn’t just the aphrodisiac talking.
You were beginning to overspill already, the flooded torrentials of his slushy precum seeping from the pouty ends of your slippery slit. You’re moping down his length with such humid tufts of juices, “Cum in me- please- need you to- now.”
“Mama didn’t teach ya ah- patience, my girl?”
And despite his words, he’s falling back to lounge so sexily against the dampened sheets. Close - he could feel it in the snaking heat at the bottom of his stomach that he was so very close.
Losing his faint grip on his power, Nanami’s clenching and balling his fists to stop from soiling permanent marks all over your body. Mind shattering. Your bedsprings bursting. Teeth gritting to stop him losing control-
Voice breaking into a few whimpers when he finally utters, “S-s’alright- greedy girl.” Before palming one hand onto the bloated budge of his length, the other swirling over your tearily overstimulated clit and tweaking. “-I can be th-the heh- strict parent.”
Oh, at this point, your orgasm is more a few heavenly tingles than anything else.
Stimulating your most fragile of pummeled crevices, you’re feeling warm, thick goblets of Nanami’s cum swash in a sticky wave. And there’s so much of it - extra with his condition right now, spurting out ribbony ropes of sickly sweet cum with every squeeze of his bulky balls.
Those knotted wads of ivory are filling you up until your gummy walls were inflating, thunking out a little wet spot at your cervix. Something that he can’t help but keen over a few fat digits and push to make a splashing mess. “Gonna get ya pregnant- I will g-get ya pregnant.”
Nanami’s big, beefy arms are pinning you to the front of his chest like he never wanted to let go. Never would.
Heaving to chase his breath - and, yet, still failing with every battering ram of his snaking cock. Fucking up the thickly viscous streams of cum up deeper and deeper-
“O-oh.” Nanami’s muttering, glassy wooden eyes straying somewhere beyond you and towards the end of the bed. The strangely…sagging bed. “We broke the- hah- we broke the bed.”
Shit. But you barely have the time to register his words before- THUD!
Your back is being brazenly splayed-out across the mahogany floors of your bedroom, Nanami’s arms underneath you shielding your body from every ounce of the stinging smack. Strong. Holding onto you tight.
Still pumped inside, still carving out the free ounces with masses upon masses of his swollen cock.
With your head drooping barely-lucidly to the side, you’re gasping at the blackened palm print that had burned itself onto the floor right beside your head.
The air around the two of you was candied, pheromones of candy and vanilla melding into what was probably your favorite scent now. Ahhhh…he didn’t even care if this was the cure anymore.
And despite being the strongest being in perhaps the entire universe, Nanami was melting into you. His abs adhesively plastered against your front, hips rolling in what can’t even be called grinds. Just simple, sappy gyrations of his still-twitchy cock.
He’s whispering out a slurring mantra of words into your thoroughly wrenched open mouth - barely even able to talk coherently after that mind-shattering orgasm. “Lock- lock them- lock them please-”
“I-I caaaan’t.” You’re whimpering out, limp legs uselessly dangling like dead weight where Nanami was resting them on the cushiony home of his deltoids.
But not to worry. Of course not to worry, your Nanami was here for you.
Biceps bulging when one arm bends to pin your ankles behind his neck, he’s folding you down, down, down into such a filthy mating press.
Moving you around as if it was nothing, as if you couldn’t hear your joint weakly popping. His healing powers being kicked involuntarily into overdrive…fuck.
Nanami can feel his cock jerk - barely softened for a few nanoseconds before thumping with every ounce of blood in his fully spent brain.
“Awww, t-too weak?” Planting a sodden peck against the corner of your ankles. And something in that tone told you that the two of you were far, far from over. That the slowly drunken fucking of Nanami’s hips was just the beginning. He’s squashing back a few remnant dredges of seed from just earlier, slipping out just enough to smear a messy white lipstick. “Well then…”
You’re jolting at the quick pap! pap! pap! of his ballooned tip popping out a few sloppily smushing strikes - before sinking deeply back in.
He’s fucking you again- and again and again and-
“Y-you know I h-haaaah- hate disrespectin’ my girl like- this-” He’s staring deeply into your eyes, gesturing languidly at the expanse of the floor. Ever-the-gentleman…usually. “-but if s’f-fer makin’ our daughter…then. Gotta make sure that I can be her Superdad.”
A/N. Hope you lovelies have the best week n’ happy new year in advance <3

PONYBOY - CHOSO KAMO
summary. You came to Dustwell looking for a fresh start. To live a new life in the beat-up house your grandfather left you. Getting involved with the local ranch hand definitely wasn’t on the agenda—and ending up in his bed? Yeah, that wasn’t part of the plan either.
word count. 15k (oh what the hell-)
content. mdni fem!reader, cowboy!choso, slow burnnnn, they want each other but wont do anything about it, he fell first but she fell harder trope, he's lowkey protective, alcohol consumption, pet names, smut, oral (fem rec.), fingering, FERAL choso, p in v, cowgirl (because save a horse), rough sex, multiple orgasms, praise, creampie, overstim, aftercare
author's note. WHAT ARE THEY FEEDING THE CHOSO ARTISTS OH MY DAYS
The house looks smaller than you remember. Maybe it’s the dust-soft edges or the way the sun hits it, turning the old wood siding gold like a sepia photograph. You stand at the edge of the gravel driveway, hands on your hips, squinting through the heat shimmer rolling off the hood of your car.
Inherited property. That’s what the letter called it—like it was some gift. But all you see is a sagging front porch, weeds elbowing through the cracks in the steps, and a mailbox hanging on by a single rusted screw. The whole place smells like dry earth, wood rot, and a faint hint of motor oil.
You spend the afternoon sweating through your shirt, dragging boxes inside and swatting at flies that seem personally offended by your presence. The floors creak in protest. One of the cabinet doors falls off when you open it. You curse out loud and immediately apologize to the empty house, like your grandpa might still be listening somewhere.
There’s no air conditioning. The ceiling fan makes a sound like it’s chewing on itself. You prop open the back door and hope the breeze isn’t carrying more hornets.
By the time the sun starts to dip behind the trees, the living room’s half-unpacked, your hair’s sticking to your neck, and you’re dangerously close to throwing a box labeled “KITCHEN — FRAGILE” straight through the window.
You need a drink.
The bar—locals call it The Pit—is tucked between a feed store and a mechanic’s garage on the edge of town. It’s not much to look at from the outside, just sun-bleached siding and a rusted-out neon sign that reads “OPEN” if you squint hard enough. But inside, it’s cool, low-lit, and smells like wood polish and whiskey.
You get exactly three steps in before every head turns. A beat passes. Then the low hum of conversation starts back up, like nothing happened.
The bartender is a woman with blond streaks in her braid and she’s wearing a plain tank top and jeans, no name tag. She raises an eyebrow as you approach.
“New in town?”
You slide onto a stool. “That obvious?”
She pours something golden into a glass. “Around here? Everything is.”
You take a sip. It burns, in a good way.
“Movin’ into the old place a few blocks down?” she asks, already knowing the answer.
You nod, and she hums like that means something. Maybe it does.
She gestures vaguely toward the back of the bar, where a wall’s been plastered with old photos—rodeos, family cookouts, black-and-white shots of horses mid-stride.
“Lotta history out there,” she says. “That land’s got roots deeper than the well.”
You glance at the glass in your hand. “Hopefully no ghosts.”
She smirks. “Nah. Just nosy neighbors, rattlesnakes, and one too many cowboys who think silence is a personality trait.”
You laugh, tired but genuine. You don’t ask for names. Not yet.
The bartender leans back on one hip, wiping down a glass with a rag that’s seen better days. “You’ll meet the whole town soon enough,” she says, voice easy. “Mornings at the diner, Friday nights at the Pit. Someone’ll swing by your place, offer help you didn’t ask for. Happens every time someone new rolls in.”
You raise an eyebrow. “That supposed to be comforting?”
She grins. “That depends. Some of ’em are harmless. Some of ’em don’t know how to mind their own business.”
A photo behind her catches your eye—framed and slightly crooked, tucked between shelves of mismatched liquor bottles. It’s black and white, a bit worn at the edges. A man stands in front of a horse, head bowed just enough that the brim of his hat hides most of his face. He’s wearing gloves, a long coat, boots scuffed to hell. There’s something still about him—something heavy.
“That one?” she says, catching your gaze. “Choso.”
You don’t look away. “He local?”
“Mhm. Works the Dustwell Ranch a few miles out. Sticks to himself. Comes in when the nights get long or the work gets worse.” She pauses, then adds, “Quiet, mostly. But folks around here know better than to mistake that for soft.”
You blink. The photo stays with you longer than it should.
“Lemme guess,” you say, setting your glass down. “He one of those cowboys you mentioned?”
She chuckles, dry. “He’s the reason I mentioned them.”
You nod slowly. “He’s… not bad-looking.”
The bartender smirks. “Yeah, he hears that a lot. Doesn’t do much with it, though.”
You glance back at the photo. “Not the friendly type?”
“Polite,” she says, “but quiet. Keeps to himself. Doesn’t stick around long when folks start talking too much.”
You hum into your drink. “So, not exactly easy to get to know.”
She shrugs. “People’ve tried. Never really seems interested. Doesn’t mean anything’s wrong with him—just one of those men who likes his space.”
You let that sit for a second. Then: “You saying I shouldn’t bother?”
She smiles without looking at you. “I’m saying if you’re the curious type, just don’t expect straight answers.”
-
You head out just before sunset, boots crunching on gravel as the heat finally starts to ease off the land. The air smells like mesquite and dirt, with a hint of something sweet on the wind—wildflowers, maybe. The road that runs past your place stretches long in both directions, flanked by open fields and fences that lean just enough to say no one’s been out here fixing things in a while.
You don’t take a phone. There’s no signal anyway. Just the breeze, the cicadas, and the sound of your own steps as you walk past fences wrapped in rusted wire, thistles pushing up through the cracks in the asphalt.
There’s not much out here—just land. Wide and quiet. Like it’s still waiting to decide what to do with you.
Then, about half a mile out, the trees start to thin, and you catch sight of a gate.
It’s big—old wood and iron, solid in that way that says it wasn’t built for decoration. There’s a sign nailed across the top beam. The paint’s worn, but the lettering’s still clear:
DUSTWELL RANCH
You slow without meaning to.
Beyond the gate, the land stretches open again—miles of pasture rolling out beneath a soft orange sky. You can just make out the edge of a barn in the distance, roof sloped, doors cracked. A couple of horses stand near the fence line, heads down, tails flicking lazily.
You rest your hands on the top of the gate. Not climbing it. Just looking.
You’re about to turn back when you hear it—the low groan of leather, the thud of boots hitting packed earth.
Someone’s moving out there.
And then, farther out—near the barn—you catch sight of a figure. Broad shoulders, long stride, dark hair pulled back under a white hat. He moves like the heat doesn’t bother him. Like the land’s just an extension of his own skin.
You can’t make out his face from this far, but something about the way he adjusts the strap over his shoulder—smooth, practiced—tells you it’s him.
Choso.
You don’t call out. You don’t wave.
You just watch, quiet, until he disappears around the side of the barn.
You stay a moment more before turning back, heading home before the sky goes fully dark.
-
You decide to take a look at the general store the next afternoon.
The little bell above the door jingles as you step inside, and you’re immediately hit with the scent of wood and old paper. The general store’s got everything—canned beans, rope, seed packets, and even a rack of novelty postcards that look older than you.
You wander through the aisles, basket on your arm, grabbing some cleaning rags and a stubborn bottle of wood polish. You’re reaching for a pack of nails on a higher shelf when someone steps into the aisle at the same time you do.
You both stop—almost head to chest.
“Whoa—sorry,” you say, laughing a little.
He steps back without much of a reaction, but his eyes linger. It’s him. Cowboy hat, button-down rolled to the elbows, gloves tucked into his back pocket. He’s taller up close. And quieter, too—like the kind of quiet that says more than most people do out loud.
“Haven’t seen you around before,” he says, voice low and easy. “You new?”
You nod, trying not to stare. “Yeah. Just moved in. My grandfather left me the old place off Hollow Creek.”
He tilts his head. “Big property, that one. Lotta trees.”
“Also a lot of creaky floors and suspicious plumbing,” you joke.
That gets him—just barely. A small huff of a laugh, like it surprised him too.
“I’m Choso.”
“So I’ve heard.” you smile at him before offering your own name.
“Well,” he says, eyes crinkling just a little at the corners, “welcome to Dustwell, darlin’.”
And just like that, he tips his hat and keeps walking, leaving you in the middle of aisle three, staring after him with a half-full basket and a flutter in your chest.
-
The FaceTime connects with a familiar ceiling view and the soft clink of ice in a glass.
“...Are you lying dead in a ditch or just ghosting me now?” Shoko’s voice is dry as ever as she finally appears on screen, sunglasses on, cigarette in one hand, something suspiciously alcoholic in the other—even though it’s barely 3 p.m.
“I’ve been busy,” you whine, slumping onto the couch. “There’s a lot to unpack.”
“Yeah? Unpack the hot cowboy you texted me about at midnight and then never followed up on.”
You groan into your palm. “It wasn’t that serious! He just—he was at the store. I bumped into him. Literally. And he’s tall and—hat, gloves, boots, the whole deal.”
“Cowboy cosplay or actual cowboy?”
“Actual cowboy, Shoko. Like... brawny forearms and slow drawl. Called me darlin’.”
She sips her drink. “Mmm. Cowboys are usually good with their hands. You should test that.”
“Shoko! I don’t even know the guy!”
“Perfect. No expectations. Just vibes.”
You gawk at her, scandalized. She shrugs.
“I'm just saying—man’s probably got calluses in all the right places.”
You grab a pillow and yell into it while she just watches, smug.
You peek out from behind the pillow. “You’re the worst.”
“I’ve been called worse,” she says, exhaling smoke. “Now show me.”
“Show you what?”
“The cowboy, obviously.”
You blink. “Shoko. I’m not a stalker. I didn’t take a picture of him.”
She raises a brow. “Miss ma’am didn’t sneak a pic? I taught you nothing.”
You groan. “It would’ve been weird! I didn’t even know what to say after he walked off. I just stood there like an idiot with my bread and canned soup.”
“That’s hot. Very romance novel of you.”
“I hate you.”
“No you don’t,” she says, smug. “You’re just mad because your little prairie crush made your brain short-circuit.”
You bury your face again, voice muffled. “He had that whole rugged, fresh-off-the-ranch thing going on, Shoko.”
There’s a pause.
“Okay, yeah. You’re done for.”
You sit back up, defeated. “It was just one interaction. He probably won’t even remember me.”
“Oh, he’ll remember. You’re new in town. He absolutely noticed. And if he’s quiet and broody like you said, that man’s probably thought about you seventeen times since then and doesn’t know what to do about it.”
You blink at her.
“You’re scary.”
“I’m right.”
You sulk into the couch. “What do I even do with that information?”
Shoko grins slowly. “You go to the store again. And you wait.”
You squint at the screen. “That’s your plan? I just... loiter in the soup aisle until he appears?”
“If he’s got work boots and a quiet drawl, yeah. Linger,” Shoko says, entirely unfazed.
You groan. “He probably won’t even show up again. It’s a small town, not a Hallmark movie.”
“Which means he’ll show up everywhere,” she counters, raising a brow. “That’s the rule. First hot man encounter? You will see him again. At least three times. One of them in an inconvenient setting.”
You pause. “Like what?”
She smirks. “Public restroom line. Town fair. Your porch. Shirtless.”
“Okay goodbye,” you say, jabbing the screen to hang up, and her laughter is the last thing you hear before it goes dark.
You drop your phone on your stomach and stare at the ceiling, brain already drifting.
You weren’t even looking for anyone. This move was supposed to be peaceful—slow mornings, quiet skies, maybe a dog. You were going to find yourself or whatever people in dramatic life transitions are supposed to do.
But now there’s a man with sleepy eyes and dust on his jeans, and you can’t stop replaying the way he’d said darlin’, like it wasn’t the first time he’d said it and like he wouldn’t mind saying it again.
You sigh.
And the worst part?
You already need eggs.
-
You need eggs.
That’s what you tell yourself, at least, when you head back to the little general store the next day, pretending it has nothing to do with a six-foot-something man in a cowboy hat.
Nope. It’s all for the eggs.
You meander through the store, making slow, aimless rounds. Produce. Aisles with three different kinds of cereal. Laundry detergent. You’re halfway through the snacks when you realize you’re not shopping anymore. You’re lurking.
You make a show of studying a can of chili you have zero intention of buying.
Still no sign of him.
You check your phone. It's been almost 30 minutes. You’ve looped the store twice, possibly three times. The cashier’s starting to give you that polite, “do you need help with something or are you casing the joint” smile.
You give up and finally head to the register with the single carton of eggs you came for.
No Choso.
No deep voice. No gloves in his back pocket. Not even a damn cowboy hat on the horizon.
You leave the store feeling... not disappointed, exactly. Just... aware of how silly you probably looked loitering in front of a shelf of trail mix like it was hiding romance.
You sigh and clutch the eggs a little tighter.
Guess he won’t be everywhere after all.
You’re not looking for him.
You’re just taking a walk.
That’s what you tell yourself as your feet find the same dusty road that runs past that ranch. The sign’s old but well-kept, carved into smooth wood with curling ends, tucked beside a wide gate.
You think about turning back.
You don’t.
There’s a low sound—rhythmic, heavy. Hooves. And when you glance up, there he is.
Horseback. Broad-shouldered. Hat low over his eyes. A quiet silhouette against the gold-tinted sky, steering a few cattle into a separate pen like it’s second nature. The reins in one hand, the other resting lazily on his thigh.
You freeze. Not even dramatically. You just stop walking.
And when he spots you, he pauses, too. The horse slows under him, and he turns his head just slightly, eyes squinting under the brim.
“You again,” he says, like it’s not surprising at all. “You lost, darlin’?”
Your stomach does a stupid flip.
“No,” you manage. “Just walking.”
He nods like that tracks. “It’s getting late.”
You shrug, trying not to stare at the way the reins rest between his gloved fingers. “Needed air.”
He hums—low and easy. “Air’s better out here anyway.”
You take a breath like you need proof. It is better.
He shifts a bit in the saddle, posture relaxed. “So. You just out sightseeing?”
You huff a laugh before you can stop it. “Just wanted to familiarize myself with the place.”
That gets a tiny smile out of him—small, but there. He tips his hat. “Well. You ever wanna get closer, Dustwell has open trails past the fence. Just mind the mud. And the bulls.”
“Oh,” you say, blinking. “Cool. Thanks.”
“Sure thing,” he says, clicking his tongue once to move the horse forward. He nods at you as he rides past. “See you ‘round.”
You don’t say anything. You’re too busy trying not to grin at nothing like a complete idiot.
Shoko was right.
You’re done for.
-
The bar’s quieter tonight.
Dim, warm lights. A slow, lazy country tune playing on the old jukebox in the corner. You slide onto a stool, nod at the bartender—same one from before, hair up in a messy bun, a dishrag slung over her shoulder like it’s part of the uniform.
“Back already?” she asks with a grin. “Thought you city types got bored easy.”
“I don’t scare that easy,” you say, returning the smile. “And besides… the drinks are good.”
She snorts. “Flattery won’t get you a free round.”
“Damn. Worth a shot.”
She pours you something light, something crisp, and leans against the bar, elbow propped lazily. “So. You settlin’ in okay out at that old house?”
You nod. “Trying to. Place has character.”
“You mean termites?”
You laugh. And then, because maybe the alcohol’s working faster than expected, you say it—
“I met Choso though. Kind of. Ran into him out by the ranch. Real quiet.”
The bartender lifts an eyebrow. “Tall, broody, horse-riding kind of hot?”
You gesture with your glass. “Exactly.”
She hums knowingly. “Sounds like him.”
“Yeah. He was pretty nice though.”
“Mhm. Doesn’t talk much. Just keeps to himself.”
You nod along, about to say something else when the bell over the door rings.
And of course—
Speak of the devil.
There he is.
Choso. Same dark clothes, same quiet presence, the brim of his hat low over his eyes as he steps into the bar like he doesn’t know you were just talking about him.
Your mouth goes a little dry.
The bartender glances at you and smirks.
“Well, well,” she murmurs under her breath. “Looks like fate’s got a good sense of timing.”
You straighten in your seat instinctively, like posture is going to fix the heat crawling up your neck.
The bartender leans in closer, voice pitched low just for you. “You want me to bring him over?”
Your eyes go wide. “Absolutely not.”
She grins like that’s not an answer. “Too late.”
Before you can stop her, she cups a hand to her mouth and calls out across the bar, casual as anything—
“Hey, Choso! You want your usual?”
His head lifts slightly. His gaze shifts, one beat to the bartender, the next—unmistakably—to you.
Then he nods.
The bartender grabs a clean glass, but before she moves to pour, she shoots you a wink. “Be a peach and slide down one seat, would you?”
You blink. “You’re not serious.”
“I’m always serious about good company.”
You hesitate just long enough to regret it, and then Choso’s already making his way over—long strides, quiet steps, the click of his boots drowned out by your internal oh no oh no oh no loop.
He settles beside you without much fanfare, tipping his hat a little as he sits.
“Evenin’,” he says, low and smooth.
Your heart’s doing something ridiculous, but you manage a smile. “Hey. Fancy seeing you again.”
The bartender places his drink down and looks way too pleased with herself. “Y’all have fun,” she says, backing away with her towel slung over her shoulder like a mission accomplished banner.
Choso glances after her, then back at you.
“She always like that?” you ask.
He huffs a quiet laugh. “Only when she senses blood in the water.”
And there’s something playful in his tone this time. Barely there. But it makes your stomach flutter anyway.
You raise a brow. “That so?”
hides a smile behind his glass.
“So,” you say after a beat, “do you always ride in dramatically right after someone talks about you?”
He tilts his head. “You were talkin’ about me?”
You pause, caught.
“…No?”
He hums. “Huh.”
You shoot him a look. “Don’t act like you weren’t eavesdropping.”
“Didn’t have to,” he says, calm as ever. “You’re not exactly subtle.”
You open your mouth to respond, probably with something clever—or at least less humiliating—but he leans an elbow on the bar, eyes on yours.
“Darlin’, I can tell.”
Your jaw drops. “I was not-”
“It’s cute.”
You swat at his arm lightly, but he just chuckles under his breath—barely there, but there.
Somehow, the small talk slips easy after that. Talk of the town. The best place for coffee in the morning (“It’s not the diner,” he warns). At some point, your shoulders stop feeling so tight. And by the time the bartender swings by again with a smug little grin, you're both halfway through your second drinks.
You glance out the window—dark now, and quiet, the kind of still night that makes everything feel slower.
“I should probably head back,” you say, setting your glass down.
Choso finishes his sip and nods. “I’ll walk you.”
You blink. “You don’t have to—”
“I want to.”
Simple as that.
So you agree.
Outside, the night air is cooler than it was when you stepped in. Crisp in a way that feels nice after being inside with too many people and too many thoughts. Choso falls into step beside you like it’s the most natural thing in the world.
You glance at him. “You always this quiet?”
He shrugs, hands tucked into his jacket pockets. “Talk when I need to.”
You hum. “That’s fair. I talk even when I don’t need to, so… you balance it out.”
There’s the ghost of a grin at the edge of his mouth. “Yeah, I figured that out.”
You nudge him lightly with your shoulder, and he lets it happen without comment.
It’s quiet again. Not awkward, just… easy.
You don’t live far, and the walk feels shorter with someone next to you. Before long, your porch light’s glowing just up ahead.
“Well,” you say as you stop in front of your door. “Thanks for the company.”
Choso nods. “You gonna be alright out here on your own?”
“I’ve survived worse,” you joke. “Like moving boxes. And small talk with ranch-hands.”
That gets a real smile out of him. Barely-there dimples. Trouble.
He dips his head a little, eyes on you. “You ever need somethin’, you know where the ranch is.”
You raise a brow. “And what exactly would I be needin’?”
He takes a small step back, eyes flicking to your porch light, then back to you.
“Dunno,” he says, and this time his voice is a little rougher. “Thought I’d leave the door open.”
And with that, he tips his hat—just slightly—and turns to walk off.
-
[you]: okay wait
[you]: I get it now.
[you]: the cowboy thing.
She replies in two seconds flat.
[shoko]: took you long enough
[shoko]: you gonna test the hands theory or what
You stare at your screen and groan.
[you]: SHOKO.
[you]: i’ve met him 3 times.
[shoko]: and that’s just the BEGINNING
[shoko]: trust the process
[you]: i’m blocking you.
[shoko]: you say that every time sweetie
You huff, turning your phone off, and get up to get ready for bed.
You lie down, stare at the ceiling. Think about the unpacked boxes still in the hallway. The weird noise the fridge made earlier. And then—like clockwork—your mind drifts.
Choso.
You don’t even know him. Had one conversation, maybe two. But of course that’s enough for your brain to cling to the one decent-looking guy you’ve seen in town so far. Tall, quiet, unfairly attractive. Of course.
You roll over, annoyed at yourself.
He’s probably just...normal. Works with his hands. Doesn’t talk much. Wears the whole rugged cowboy thing like it’s not a big deal, which makes it worse somehow. And okay—fine, the “darlin’” thing did something to you. That’s on him. But it’s also on you for letting it live rent-free in your head all day.
You stare at yourself in the bathroom mirror.
You didn’t come here to get distracted. Definitely not by some man with pretty hands and a nice voice and a face that should be illegal this far out in the middle of nowhere.
No. You’re here to get your life together.
Unfortunately, your life now involves a cowboy you can’t stop thinking about.
You shut your eyes and try to pretend you’re not already in trouble.
-
You’d been at it for over an hour now—sweating under the midday sun, brow furrowed, and jaw clenched tight. The damn wooden plank on your porch just wouldn’t fit right. You’d hammered, yanked, cursed, and even tried sweet-talking it at one point, like that would somehow make it cooperate.
It didn’t.
You sit back on your heels with a frustrated sigh, wiping at your temple with the back of your hand. The rest of the porch is a patchwork of replaced and rotted wood, and the one plank holding everything up just refuses to be tamed.
“Y’look like you’re about five seconds from fightin’ that board.”
You jump a little, glancing up to see Choso standing by the gate—hands in his back pockets, hat pulled low, a half-smirk tugging at his lips.
“Don’t tempt me,” you mutter, rising to your feet. “I’ve about had it with this thing.”
He starts walking toward you, boots crunching softly in the dirt. “Need a hand?”
You shake your head quickly. “No, no, I��I got it. Don’t worry. I know you’ve got your own work to do.”
He slows to a stop at the edge of the porch. “Ain’t in a rush. S’not a burden if I offer.”
You hesitate. He’s not the kind of man you ask favors from lightly—partly because he’s always so quiet, so distant. But he’s looking at you with a kind of patience that softens his usually sharp features.
“…Alright,” you say, stepping aside. “But only because this thing’s winning, and I can’t have that.”
He huffs a quiet laugh and crouches beside the plank, examining the fit. You expect him to just get to work—but instead, he peels off his gloves, sets them aside, and reaches up to tug his hat off his head.
You blink.
Because holy hell.
You’d only ever seen glimpses of his face before—just enough to wonder what he was hiding beneath the brim. And now that it’s gone, it’s like the sun comes out in full.
He’s beautiful. Not the kind of pretty you’d expect from someone who works rough and silent—no, he’s got the kind of beauty that’s sharp. Angular cheekbones. Long lashes. Hair tied back but loose strands frame his face. And that tattoo—dark and striking across the bridge of his nose—only makes it worse.
Your brain short-circuits for a second.
“...What?” he asks, not looking up, already focused on the wood.
“What?” he asks.
You swallow, trying to play it cool. “Just… didn’t know you had a tattoo there.”
He nods once, unfazed. “Had it a long time.”
“It suits you,” you say before you can think better of it.
Choso pauses. His eyes flick to yours—slow, unreadable.
“Thanks,” he murmurs, then goes right back to work.
The two of you work in near silence after that. He makes quick work of the stubborn plank, fitting it with practiced ease, fingers steady and sure. You hold nails when he asks, pass him tools without thinking. It’s the kind of quiet that doesn’t feel awkward—just natural.
At one point, your hands brush as you hand him the screwdriver. Neither of you say anything. But you feel it. The spark. The stillness.
You glance at him from the corner of your eye. His brow is furrowed, lips parted slightly in concentration, and there’s a bit of sawdust on his shoulder.
He catches you looking.
You snap your gaze away.
And in your chest, something shifts. Something soft. Warm. Familiar in a way that unsettles you.
You like him.
You like him.
It hits you like a whisper—gentle, but impossible to ignore.
When the board’s finally in place, he sits back and nods once, satisfied. “There. Should hold now.”
You clear your throat. “Thanks. Really.”
He glances up at you, hat dangling from his fingers. “Told you I’d help if you needed.”
“Yeah,” you say quietly. “Guess you did.”
The two of you sit there for a minute longer, side by side, watching the wind stir the grass. It’s quiet, but not in a bad way.
Like maybe you don’t need to say everything out loud.
“You want somethin’ to drink?” you ask, brushing your palms on your thighs as you stand. “It’s not much, just some lemonade. Store-bought, not even the fancy kind.”
Choso shifts a little like he’s not used to being offered anything. Like you’ve surprised him.
You catch it, that pause—and suddenly feel a little silly. “You don’t have to, obviously. I just thought, you know… in return for saving me from an early death by splinter.”
He huffs out a laugh, low and amused. “Didn’t know I was savin’ your life.”
“Oh, you absolutely were,” you say, feigning seriousness. “That board had it out for me.”
He looks at you for a second too long. Then: “Alright. I’ll take a glass.”
You try not to grin as you head inside, calling back over your shoulder, “Don’t run off. I’m only sharing if you stay and actually drink it.”
When you return, two slightly sweating glasses in hand, he’s still sitting on the porch step, hat resting beside him, hair a little mussed from the heat and work. He glances up as you hand him his glass.
“Thanks,” he says, fingers brushing yours briefly.
You sit beside him again, both sipping in a quiet that doesn’t feel awkward—just easy.
It’s small. It’s nothing.
But your heart is beating just a little faster anyway.
Choso tips his glass back, slow. “Did a good job, y’know.”
You glance over. “On the porch?”
“On the house. All of it.” He shrugs one shoulder, like it’s no big deal. “Most folks would’ve given up or hired it out. But you stuck with it.”
You blink, surprised by the softness in his voice.
“Thanks,” you say, quieter than you mean to. “I wasn’t sure it’d show.”
He nods once. “It shows.”
Then he stands, stretches a bit, picks up his hat. And just as he steps off the porch, he glances back at you.
“You’re settlin’ in alright,” he says simply. “You should stay. It’d be nice if you do.”
And then he’s gone—hat pulled low again, boots crunching down the gravel path.
You sit there a moment longer, lemonade glass half full in your lap, brain absolutely fried.
You should stay.
Goddamn it.

The Pit is quieter on weeknights. Less rowdy, more murmured conversation and old country music buzzing from the jukebox in the corner. You’re at the bar nursing a whiskey and soda, trying very hard not to think about the way Choso had looked at you like that porch was the only thing standing between you and him.
“You look distracted,” drawls the bartender as she wipes down a glass.
You smile sheepishly. “Long day.”
She hums like she doesn’t believe you, sliding the glass onto the shelf. “Well, you’ll wanna unwind before Saturday anyway. Big weekend comin’.”
You blink. “Saturday?”
“You didn’t hear? Dustwell’s annual Fall Festival.” She leans an elbow on the bar, grinning. “Whole town shows up. Good food, live music, terrible dancing.”
Your brows raise. “That sounds... kind of amazing.”
“Oh, it’s somethin’. Bit of everything—bonfire, market stalls, pie contest, all that small-town charm.” She leans in a little. “You should come. Be a good way to meet folks.”
You sip your drink. “Will there be whiskey?”
“Enough to drown a horse,” she deadpans. “C’mon. You might even have fun.”
You hesitate. Then nod, smiling. “Alright. I’ll check it out.”
She straightens, clearly pleased. “Attagirl.”
You pause. “Is it the kind of thing people go to alone?”
“You won’t be alone long,” she says, smirking as she grabs a bottle from the shelf. “Trust me.”
You smile into your glass and murmur, “That’s what I’m afraid of.”
She laughs and moves on to the next customer, leaving you sitting in the low golden glow of the bar lights, your drink slowly warming in your hand.
You swirl the ice once more.
You’re going to that festival. You already know exactly who you hope to see there.
-
You tell yourself it’s just a small-town festival.
No need to overthink it. Just food stalls, some live music, maybe a bonfire if the wind stays down. But somehow, you’ve tried on three outfits already and you’re still standing in front of the mirror, arms crossed, trying to decide if you look like you’re trying.
Your fingers smooth down the hem of the floral babydoll dress you finally settled on—light, flowy, soft against your skin. Not too short. Not too loud. Just enough.
Your boots are worn but clean. A bit of balm on your lips, a brush through your hair. You pause over the mascara.
“Stupid,” you mutter, swiping it on anyway.
You’re not dressing up for him. You’re not.
You grab your bag and give yourself one last look in the mirror. The dress sways with your movement, delicate and easy in the late afternoon light.
You look… nice.
And if a certain broody ranch hand happens to notice?
Well. That’s not why you’re going.
(Probably.)
-
The lights strung up over Dustwell’s main road flicker warm and golden, casting a glow over the small crowd that’s gathered. There’s laughter, music, chatter—a rhythm to the evening that thrums low and pleasant.
You should be enjoying it.
But your eyes are elsewhere.
You move through the crowd slowly, aimless, pretending to admire booths you don’t quite see. A table of carved wooden animals. A local honey stand. Rows of pies, flaky and golden. People pass with plates stacked high, cups of cider sloshing, the scent of cinnamon in the air.
And still, you keep looking.
Your boots crunch softly on gravel as you round the corner near the bonfire pit. A flicker of orange firelight glows against smiling faces. Couples sway to the drawl of a country ballad being played live somewhere off to the left. You scan each cluster of people with careful, almost casual glances.
He’s not here.
You try not to feel stupid about it.
Choso never said he’d come. Hell, you never even asked him. Maybe he’s back at the ranch. Maybe he hates crowds. Or maybe he just didn’t think about you at all.
You sigh through your nose and roll your shoulders like that could shake the disappointment off.
“Pretty dress,” someone says beside you, voice too close, too sticky with alcohol.
You tense.
Some guy, clearly drunk, sways into your space with a grin that’s more grease than charm. He’s got a beer bottle in hand and eyes that crawl. You step back slightly, but he follows, grin widening.
“You look real sweet tonight,” he adds, leaning closer. “You local?”
You step sideways, the movement polite but clear. “Just passing through,” you lie.
He follows. “Nah, I’ve seen you before. Came in not long ago. You’ve been out at the old farmstead, ain’t you? Near the ridge?”
Your mouth tightens. “I don’t think we’ve met.”
He laughs, too loud, too bold. “Well, we’re meetin’ now, ain’t we?”
“You here alone?” he asks, leaning in. “Don’t seem right, someone like you walkin’ around without a man.”
“I’m fine, thanks,” you say, voice firm but polite.
“Aww, c’mon now—don’t be like that,” he drawls, reaching like he’s about to touch your arm.
You stiffen, heart starting to pound—
Then suddenly, there’s someone else.
A wall of quiet tension slots between you and the sleazy stranger, solid and unmoving. The guy stumbles back half a step as the air shifts.
You don’t even need to look up to know who it is.
Low and slow, that familiar gravel-edged voice speaks:
“This guy botherin’ you, darlin’?”
Your heart kicks hard in your chest.
Choso stands between you and the drunk, broad shoulders blocking the man from view, voice calm but carrying a warning beneath it.
You swallow, then nod.
Choso doesn’t turn around. Doesn’t raise his voice. Just says, “Get lost.”
The guy laughs nervously. “Hey, no trouble—just chattin’, that’s all—”
Choso shifts. Barely. But something about the way he straightens, the silence that falls around him—it’s enough.
The drunk mutters something under his breath and stumbles off.
For a beat, it’s quiet.
Then Choso turns, finally, and his eyes rake over you—slowly, like he’s still processing what he’s seeing.
“You alright?” he asks.
You nod, heart fluttering so loud you’re sure he can hear it. “Yeah. Thanks.”
His gaze lingers a second too long before flicking away. “Shouldn’t be lettin’ creeps like that get near you.”
You smile softly. “Wasn’t exactly planning on it.”
He huffs, almost a laugh, then gestures toward the booths. “You eaten yet?”
“…No.”
“C’mon then,” he murmurs. “I’ll buy you somethin’.”
You fall into step beside him.
Maybe you weren’t just looking around after all.
The two of you drift past the bonfire, not saying much at first. There’s an ease to it—like neither of you feels the need to fill the silence. Just the scrape of boots on gravel, the occasional burst of laughter from nearby, and the soft hum of music carried on the wind.
You pause at a food stall where an older woman is selling fried hand pies. Choso buys two without asking—one for you, one for him. You raise an eyebrow as he hands it over.
“Thought I wasn’t hungry,” you say, amused.
“You looked at it twice,” he replies simply.
You roll your eyes, but your smile betrays you. “You always this observant?”
He shrugs, chewing. “Just when it matters.”
You try not to read too much into that. You fail.
You wander with him toward a quieter part of the festival, where the booths thin out and string lights dangle lower from wooden poles. Kids run past in a blur, chasing each other with glow sticks. There’s a tent set up nearby with hay bales inside for resting.
You slip into the edge of it to take a break, brushing your skirt down as you sit. Choso stands nearby, arms folded loosely, watching the crowd.
You can’t help sneaking a look at him. The way the firelight hits his profile. The way his jaw tightens when he’s lost in thought. He’s wearing that same beat-up hat—but you’ve seen what’s underneath now. The soft waves of his hair. The scar, beautiful in its own way. How gentle his eyes are, even when his face looks like it’s forgotten how to smile.
“You don’t like crowds, do you?” you ask softly.
He glances over, amused. “Figured that obvious?”
You laugh. “You’re standing like a bouncer outside a saloon.”
He huffs. “Just keepin’ an eye out.”
“For trouble?”
He looks at you for a beat. “For you.”
You don’t know what to say to that. Your fingers fidget with the edge of your dress—until you feel his gaze lower.
“That dress,” he says, voice low like he almost hadn’t meant to say it aloud. “You look real pretty in it.”
You blink up at him, caught off guard. “…What?”
He shifts his weight, gaze still on you but softer now. “I mean it. Real damn pretty, darlin’.”
Your heart jumps at the nickname. God, it sounds even better tonight. Heat crawls up the back of your neck as you glance down at the floral fabric bunched around your knees.
“I almost wore jeans,” you murmur, smiling despite yourself.
He chuckles, and it’s quiet but deep. “Would’ve looked good either way. But I’m glad you didn’t.”
You peek up at him again—and he’s still looking. Not just at your dress, not at the way your hair’s curled around your shoulders—but at you. Really looking.
He gestures to the edge of the hill beyond the festival. “C’mon. There’s a view you might like.”
You follow without thinking.
And maybe this isn’t a date. Maybe you both keep pretending it’s not.
But as he walks just ahead of you, turning back now and then to make sure you’re still with him—you feel it settling in your chest.
You follow him past the last of the booths, away from the warmth of the fire and the noise of the crowd. The grass grows wilder out here, untamed and soft beneath your boots. String lights give way to open sky, and above you, the stars stretch wide and scattered like sugar spilled over velvet.
Choso walks a little ahead, hands tucked in his pockets. His pace is slow, easy. Like he’s making sure you can keep up without looking like he’s trying.
“D you always bring girls out here?” you tease, nudging his arm gently with your shoulder.
He glances at you, amused. “Ain’t much of a crowd person, remember?”
“Still didn’t answer the question.”
That almost-smile tugs at his lips again. “No. First time.”
You don’t know what to say to that, but your heart makes a quiet little flutter behind your ribs.
The hill slopes up just enough to make your calves ache by the time you reach the top. But the view? It’s worth it.
Below, Dustwell looks like something out of a painting. Warm flickers of light. People like shadows moving between tents. Music floating up faint and distant. And past it all, the open stretch of the plains—blue-black and endless.
You exhale softly. “Wow.”
Choso settles beside you, just close enough for your arms to almost brush. “Didn’t oversell it, huh?”
You shake your head. “You didn’t say anything about it being this beautiful.”
He glances sideways, and for a moment, you think he’s going to say something else.
Instead, he hums low in his throat and says, “Figured you’d see it yourself.”
A breeze kicks up, catching the hem of your dress and lifting it just enough to make you shiver. You cross your arms, rubbing at your sleeves, and without a word, Choso shrugs off his jacket.
You hesitate. “You don’t have to—”
“I know,” he says simply, already draping it over your shoulders. “But you’re cold.”
The jacket smells like cedar and sun-warmed cotton. It’s too big, but in a comforting way. You sink into it without thinking, and when you glance up to thank him, he’s already looking at you.
Not shy. Not teasing.
Just… honest.
And something about it—something about him—makes your pulse slow, heavy in your ears.
Maybe this isn’t a date.
But it feels like one.
And right now, that’s more than enough.
You both fall into a quiet lull, watching the horizon blur at its edges. The night wraps around you, soft and vast, and with his jacket warming your shoulders, something inside you loosens.
You hug it closer. “I wasn’t even sure I’d stay at first,” you admit, voice hushed. “Dustwell just… felt like a name on a deed. Not a place I’d belong.”
Choso doesn’t interrupt. He waits, like he knows there’s more.
“I thought I’d fix up the house, sell it maybe. Move back to the city,” you say. “But then I started patching up things. Talking to people. And then…”
You glance over, offering a small smile. “Then I met you.”
His gaze is steady, unreadable—but his jaw flexes, just barely. Like your words landed somewhere deeper than you meant them to.
You shift slightly, brushing hair away from your face. “You ever get that feeling? Like maybe you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be, even if it doesn’t make sense yet?”
He’s silent for a beat too long.
Then, quietly—“Yeah.”
The word hangs between you, heavy and fragile.
You turn to face him fully now, searching his expression—and find that he’s already looking at you.
And there’s something in his eyes. Something new.
Tentative. Quiet. Intense.
His gaze flickers downward—just once, just enough to make your breath catch.
To your mouth.
He swallows, throat working. “You keep lookin’ at me like that, darlin’, ’m gonna start gettin’ ideas.”
Your heart slams in your chest.
And then he leans in—slow, so goddamn slow, like giving you every chance to pull away.
But you don’t.
Your hand finds the edge of his shirt, fingers curling into the fabric on instinct—like you need something to hold onto to keep you grounded. His fingertips skim along your jaw, featherlight, until his thumb brushes a loose strand of hair behind your ear.
He doesn’t pull away.
And you don’t either.
The air between you grows thick, weighted with everything unsaid. His hand lingers just beneath your jaw, rough from work and calloused in a way that feels real, solid—so unlike anything you’ve ever known.
You swear your heart’s beating so loud it’s echoing in your ears.
His eyes flicker from yours to your lips and back again, like he’s giving you every second to say no.
You don’t.
His nose grazes yours, warm breath fanning across your skin. Your lashes flutter as your eyes fall shut.
Then, finally, his lips press to yours.
Soft. Barely there at first. Just a brush. A question.
You sigh—yes, God, yes—and that’s all he needs.
The kiss deepens, coaxed open by quiet urgency and something tender just beneath the surface. His palm cradles the side of your face now, thumb stroking the apple of your cheek like he’s trying to memorize the shape of you.
He tastes like mint and something a little smoky, a little wild. He kisses like he’s not used to having something this gentle, this good, and he’s afraid it’ll vanish if he pushes too hard.
But still—he leans in closer.
Your spine meets the wooden rail behind you, but you hardly notice. Your hands slide up to his chest, the warmth of him soaking through his shirt, steady and sure. One of his hands drifts to your waist, grounding you, tugging you infinitesimally closer.
And God—you feel it. That shift.
That invisible line you just crossed.
When you finally part, it’s only because you need to breathe. And even then, his lips brush yours once more. A quieter kiss. A promise.
He doesn’t move far.
Forehead resting against yours, he murmurs, voice husky, “Been wantin’ to do that for a while now.”
You smile, lips still tingling. “Yeah?”
His eyes don’t leave yours. “Yeah.”
You blink up at him, dazed. Your lips still buzz where his mouth had just been, and your heart is doing something stupidly dramatic in your chest—fluttering like it’s got something to prove.
Choso pulls back just enough to see you, really see you. There’s a small crease between his brows like he’s still unsure if he overstepped.
But all you can do is stare.
Then—God—you laugh.
A quiet, breathy little sound that slips out before you can catch it.
He tilts his head. “Somethin’ funny, darlin’?”
Your hands are still resting against his chest, and you shake your head, cheeks warming. “No—no, just… I think my brain short-circuited a little.”
That earns the faintest smirk from him—just the barest curve at the corner of his mouth, but it feels like sunlight cracking through clouds.
“Well,” he drawls, voice low and rough, “you did look real pretty tonight. Could’ve warned me.”
You narrow your eyes at him, trying to play it cool despite the way your pulse is still racing. “Is that how you kiss everyone?”
He huffs a quiet breath—almost a laugh—and dips his gaze to your lips again. “No,” he says, low. “Just you.”
That does something to your chest. You feel it settle there, warm and certain.
Your voice is quieter now. “Why me?”
His eyes meet yours again, steady. “Ain’t figured that part out yet.”
And just like that, the shyness dissolves into something quieter, sweeter. You lean into him, your hands settling over his heart. It’s steady. Comforting.
He doesn’t rush the silence. Doesn’t push.
The noise of the festival still hums in the background, but it feels like a distant memory now—muted beneath the rush of your heart and the warmth still lingering on your lips.
He steps back a little, just enough to breathe, but not enough to lose the closeness. “You wan’ me to walk ya home?”
Your answer is immediate, quiet. “I do.”
You fall into step beside each other, the path dimly lit by strings of warm bulbs and the fading firelight from the festival. The ground crunches under your boots, and the night air wraps cool and easy around your skin. He doesn’t speak at first, and you don’t mind. You like the silence between you—it’s comfortable. Safe.
Then, as you near the edge of town, his hand brushes yours.
Just barely.
You glance over at him. He’s looking straight ahead like nothing happened, but there’s a soft pink creeping up the side of his neck.
You don’t say anything. You just let your hand shift a little closer.
The next time they touch, it’s on purpose.
Fingers slide together slow, like testing the weight of something new.
He doesn’t pull away.
And neither do you.
-
By the time you reach your porch, the stars are scattered thick above you and the crickets are singing like they know something you don’t.
You stop at the steps, not quite ready to go inside.
Choso stands just a step down, taller than you even now, his silhouette all shadows and moonlight. His fingers are still loosely curled around yours.
He looks at you, quiet.
You look back.
Something thick and tender swims in the air between you.
Then, just as you’re about to speak—he leans in again.
But this time, it’s different.
Softer. Slower. Like he’s savoring it.
His hand comes up to cup your cheek, thumb brushing over your skin, and his lips meet yours in a kiss that’s warm and unhurried. Like a goodnight. Like a promise.
It doesn’t last long—but it doesn’t need to.
When he pulls away, you’re still standing there, blinking, trying to catch your breath.
“Night, darlin’,” he murmurs, voice low and warm.
You open your mouth to respond but—nothing comes out.
He smirks, just barely, and tips his hat before turning back toward the road, boots crunching softly as he walks away.
You exhale a breath you didn’t know you were holding, pressing your fingers to your lips, heart racing.
-
[you]: shoko.
[you]: he kissed me.
[you]: just… kissed me. said “night, darlin’” and walked off like it was nothing.
[you]: i think i forgot how to stand for a second.
You watch the typing bubble blink in and out a few times.
[shoko]: and how was it
[you]: …really good.
[shoko]: knew it. told you he had a thing for you.
[you]: you also said he probably talks to horses more than people.
[shoko]: and apparently he kisses better than both. proud of you.
You huff a laugh, dropping your head back against the couch.
The room is quiet. The porch light still glows through the curtains. Your lips still tingle.
You pull your knees up to your chest, phone resting in your palm.
And when sleep finally pulls you under, it's with the weight of his touch still lingering and his voice—low and warm—tucked somewhere in the back of your mind.
-
The days that follow feel different.
Not loud or sudden—just quieter in a way that stays with you.
Like the way his eyes linger a little longer when you talk. Like the way he leans in when no one’s looking. Like the way your hand always seems to find his when no one’s around to see.
There’s a moment in the barn—just the two of you, the air heavy with hay and late sun—where he kisses you slow, with one hand braced against the stall and the other at your waist. You laugh into his mouth, and he smiles like he can’t help it.
Another time, it’s behind your house, just after he helps you carry firewood. You thank him and mean it—and before you can say more, he cups your jaw and kisses you like he’s been thinking about it all day.
Sometimes, though—sometimes it shifts.
Like the night you're sitting side by side on your porch steps, your knee brushing his, your laughter fading into something quieter. His eyes darken as they drop to your mouth. He kisses you, slower this time. Deeper. And when his lips trail down to the edge of your jaw, when his hand skims along your thigh—
The porch light flickers.
A car rumbles by.
You both pause, breath caught in your throats.
He pulls back with a soft exhale, forehead resting against yours for a second longer before he clears his throat and leans away.
Another time, it’s the hayloft—warm, private, the dust floating golden in the air. He’s hovering above you, lips at your collarbone, fingers curling just under the hem of your shirt—
Then the barn door creaks. A voice calls for him.
You sit up, flushed and breathless, heart thudding hard in your chest.
He mutters something under his breath, presses a kiss to your temple, and climbs down first.
It’s never awkward. Never forced.
Just moments that build. Stretch. Hold.
And it’s always him who pulls back—like he's afraid of what might happen if he doesn’t.
-
The air seems lighter, the walk into town quieter, your thoughts a little louder.
You find yourself smiling at nothing, fingers ghosting over your lips like they still remember the weight of his. And when you catch sight of him across the way—hat low, shirt clinging to his shoulders from the heat—you swear your pulse stutters.
He doesn’t say much when he sees you, just tips his head in that lazy way of his, mouth curling faintly at the edges.
But as you pass by, his hand brushes yours—just for a second. Barely there. Like a secret no one else is supposed to notice.
And you swear your skin hums from the touch.
Later, when you're out by the edge of the property replacing fence boards, he shows up with that same quiet timing he always does. He leans against the post beside you, hands in his pockets, watching.
“You’re gonna get splinters, y’know,” he drawls.
You shoot him a look. “Then maybe you should help.”
He does.
And this time, when he kneels beside you, handing you nails and steadying the board with one hand, his knee brushes yours and stays there. There’s no flinch, no apology—just a glance up, a half-smile passed between you.
When he stands, he offers a hand to pull you up. You hesitate a moment too long before taking it, your fingers curling around his, warm and sure.
“You always this helpful?” you tease.
He shrugs. “Only when there’s pretty company.”
You try to roll your eyes, but the way your heart kicks in your chest ruins the effort.
-
It starts with a rumble.
The sky’s been moody all morning, clouds hanging heavy like they’re waiting for the right moment to split open. You’d taken the risk anyway, walking into town for some supplies, telling yourself you’d beat the storm back.
You don’t.
You're only halfway down the winding road back to the house when it hits—sudden and sharp, fat drops pelting the dust and kicking up the smell of rain-soaked earth. Within seconds, you’re drenched. Your dress clings to your skin, hair plastered to your face, and you’re shivering as you trudge along, arms wrapped around yourself.
You barely hear the truck pulling up beside you over the roar of rain.
But you definitely hear his voice.
“Darlin’?”
You blink through the downpour, and there he is—Choso, leaning out the driver’s side window of his old pickup, hat pulled low, brow furrowed in concern.
“You tryin’ to drown out here?”
You shake your head, a breathless laugh escaping you despite the chill. “Thought I could outrun it.”
His eyes flick down, taking in your soaked dress, the way you’re hugging your elbows. His jaw flexes.
“My place is closer,” he says after a beat. “C’mon.”
You hesitate only for a second. Not because you don’t trust him—you do, more than you probably should—but because stepping into that truck feels like crossing into something else. Something charged.
Still, the rain’s cold, and your feet hurt, and his voice is so damn gentle.
You nod.
He’s out of the truck in a blink, jogging around the front and opening the door for you like it’s nothing, like it doesn’t send a flutter through your chest. He holds the door open as you climb in, and when your fingers brush his wrist, they’re warm, solid. Comforting.
Inside the cab, the heater’s on, and it smells like cedar and something faintly smoky. Choso reaches behind the seat, grabs an old flannel, and without a word, drapes it over your shoulders.
You glance over at him, your hands gripping the soft fabric.
“Thanks,” you murmur.
He’s quiet for a moment, eyes fixed ahead as he pulls back onto the road. Then, voice low: “Ain’t gonna let you freeze out here.”
You look over at him again, and this time, he catches your gaze.
The silence stretches.
“You always play knight in shining armor?” you tease, trying for casual, though your voice is soft around the edges.
Choso doesn’t look at you right away. His fingers flex around the steering wheel. “Nah,” he says eventually. “Don’t usually have a reason to.”
The hum of the engine fills the cab, steady and low, and the rain tapping against the windshield makes the world outside feel far away—blurred and gray and quiet.
Inside, it’s warmer. Safer.
You clutch the flannel tighter around you, the sleeves hanging over your fingers. The scent of it—woodsmoke, leather, something him—makes your chest ache just a little.
“Didn’t think the weather’d turn that fast,” you murmur, glancing out the window.
Choso glances over. “Storms move quick out here,” he says. “You’ll learn.”
You smile faintly. “Guess I’m still adjusting.”
“You’re doin’ alright,” he says, voice low.
The silence returns, but it’s not awkward. It settles over the two of you like another blanket. Comforting. There’s something steady in his presence, something grounding, and it creeps in slow, calming your nerves until your body starts to relax on its own.
He makes a turn, gravel crunching under the tires as he pulls onto a long, dirt path lined with wild mesquite trees. You didn’t realize how close his place actually was.
Your eyes feel heavy. Maybe it’s the warmth. Maybe it’s the rhythm of the road.
Maybe it’s him.
You glance over, watching him quietly—his jawline, the way the rain beads on the brim of his hat. Without thinking, you lean a little closer, until your head gently rests against his shoulder.
Choso’s muscles tense just slightly beneath you.
“Sorry,” you say quickly, starting to pull away.
But his voice stops you—soft, quieter than usual.
“It’s alright.”
And so you stay.
For a minute, maybe two, neither of you says anything. His shoulder is solid and warm beneath your cheek. You close your eyes.
“You get used to the rain, too,” he says after a while. “’Specially when you’ve got someone to ride it out with.”
There’s a pause. Your fingers twitch under the flannel.
“Think I’d like that,” you murmur.
He doesn’t answer, but you can feel the way his breath shifts. Like he wants to say something but bites it back.
The truck rolls to a stop.
“We’re here,” he says gently.
The rain’s still falling when Choso gets out and jogs around to open your door, hat tilted low to shield from the downpour. You hesitate for a second before slipping your hand into his, jumping down from the truck. His palm is rough and warm, and when you look up at him, his eyes are already on you.
The walk to the front porch is brief but soaked. By the time you’re inside, boots tracking mud onto the wooden floor, your clothes cling to your skin and your hair’s dripping water down your neck.
“Bathroom’s down the hall,” Choso says, tossing his keys onto a hook near the door. “Towels are in the cabinet. I’ll find you somethin’ dry.”
You nod, teeth chattering just a bit. “Thanks.”
The bathroom smells faintly of cedar and old cologne. You dry off as best you can, toweling your hair and arms. When you step out, Choso’s waiting in the hall with a bundle in his hands—a soft, well-worn hoodie and a pair of sweatpants that’ll definitely be too big.
“Hope that works,” he says, eyes flicking over you quickly. “Didn’t figure you’d want jeans.”
You smile, hugging the bundle to your chest. “Perfect.”
When you come out dressed in his clothes, sleeves past your hands and the waistband of the sweatpants rolled over once, he’s in the kitchen, pouring you a mug of something steaming.
“Here,” he says, holding it out. “Hot cocoa. Not coffee—it’s late.”
You raise a brow. “Didn’t peg you as the cocoa type.”
A ghost of a smirk tugs at his lips. “I ain’t. But you seem like the kind who’d need somethin’ sweet after a cold walk home.”
Your stomach flips.
You sip slowly, the warmth seeping into your fingers. He leans against the counter, arms crossed, watching you. There’s a quiet in the room again—not awkward, just…thick. Charged. Like something could happen if either of you let it.
Then, he tilts his head a bit. “You look good in that.”
Your gaze snaps up to his.
“In what?”
He nods at the hoodie. “Never liked how it looked on me, but it suits you.”
You laugh softly, heart in your throat. “I look like I’m drowning in it.”
“Still suits you.”
You barely register the shift in the air until you feel him move behind you—slow, purposeful. His boots echo quiet on the wooden floor, and before you can even turn, he’s there. His arms plant on either side of you, palms flat against the counter, caging you in without a word.
The space between your bodies buzzes with unspoken something. His chest nearly brushes your back, and when he dips his head, breath warm at the curve of your neck, you freeze.
Then—soft.
The faintest brush of his lips against your skin. Once. Then again. Featherlight, like he’s not sure he’s allowed to want this much.
You manage a breathless laugh. “I’m starting to think this was all an excuse to bring me here.”
You feel him smile against your neck, a quiet huff of amusement. “Wouldn’t be the worst idea I’ve ever had.”
Your heart skips, and before you can respond, he presses one more kiss—just below your ear this time—and murmurs, voice low, rough:
“Glad you agreed to come.”
You shift slightly, finally daring to glance back at him. “And if I hadn’t?”
He lifts his head, eyes locking with yours now—closer than you expected, darker too. “Guess I’d be missin’ out.”
The tension between you crackles. You're not sure who leans in first, but suddenly the distance isn’t so wide anymore.
His mouth crashes against yours this time—no hesitation, no space to think, just heat.
It’s clumsy at first, teeth clashing, breath hitching, but neither of you care. Your fingers tangle in the front of his shirt, tugging him closer like you’ll fall apart if there’s even an inch between you. He groans into your mouth, low and rough, one hand sliding around your waist to press you flush to him, the other threading into your hair.
Your back hits the counter as he crowds you in, lips hot and relentless, kissing like he means to memorize every inch. Tongues meet, the kiss deepening into something hungry, something that’s been simmering just below the surface for far too long.
His fingers splay across your lower back, gripping like he can’t stand the thought of letting go. Your hands wander—his jaw, his neck, the soft strands of his hair now damp from the rain. He kisses you like he’s starved, like this moment has been clawing at the edge of his self-control for days. Weeks.
When you gasp against him, he takes the opportunity to nip at your bottom lip, chasing it with a gentler kiss right after—contrasting, addictive. You pull him closer, like you’ll crawl into him if he lets you.
The only sound in the room is the soft rustle of clothing, the quiet thud of footsteps shifting, the desperate sound of mouths colliding again and again—wet, open-mouthed, aching.
Nothing else exists. Just the warmth of his body, the taste of his kiss, and the way he’s kissing you like he never wants to stop.
His hand slips beneath your hoodie, palm warm and steady against your skin. It’s not rushed—he touches like he’s memorizing, tracing the curve of your spine, the dip of your waist.
“Been thinkin’ about this,” he murmurs against your mouth, voice thick. “’Bout you.”
You shiver, not just from his touch but from how needy he sounds—like he’s been holding back and it’s finally breaking loose.
His teeth graze your jaw, your neck, and then he’s kissing lower, slower, the kind of kiss that makes your knees threaten to give out.
“You gotta tell me to stop,” he says, breath hot against your skin, “or I’m not gonna.”
But your hands are already tugging his shirt up, fingers greedy against the lines of his stomach, and the way you say his name—low, breathy, a little wrecked—has him cursing under his breath.
He’s everywhere—hands and lips and heat.
You barely notice when his hands shift—one to your thigh, the other braced at your lower back—until your feet leave the ground.
You gasp, arms locking around his shoulders as he lifts you like you weigh nothing.
“Choso—”
“Not here,” he murmurs, voice rough in your ear. “You deserve better than a fuckin’ kitchen counter.”
The heat of his breath sends a full-body shiver down your spine, but there’s something else too—the way he carries you, steady and certain, like he’s done thinking. Like he’s made up his mind.
He walks with you through the dim hallway, never once breaking eye contact when you look up at him.
“You sure?” he asks, even though he’s already halfway to his room.
You nod, breathless. “Yeah.”
His mouth twitches and the second you’re in his room, he’s setting you down on the bed like you’re the most important thing he’s ever touched.
Then he’s on you again, lips trailing down your neck, hands at your waist, tugging at your clothes like they’re in the way of something holy.
He leans over you, breath still heavy, eyes dragging across your body like he can’t decide where to touch first. You’re in his hoodie—his hoodie—and there’s something about that that makes his jaw flex, like the sight alone has undone him.
“Didn’t think you could look better in my clothes,” he murmurs, voice low and gravelly. “’Til now.”
His fingers curl around the hem, and he lifts it inch by inch, knuckles brushing your stomach, your ribs, the curve of your chest—leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. He pulls it over your head with care, like he’s unwrapping something delicate, and tosses it aside without taking his eyes off you.
Then his hands slide to the waistband of the sweatpants.
He hooks his fingers under the fabric, ready to ask again—ready to take it slow. But when he tugs it down your hips and catches the bare skin beneath, he freezes.
There’s no fabric. No lace. Nothing.
His breath catches—sharp and audible—and his hands go still.
“...You’re not wearin’ anything underneath,” he says, almost like he’s making sure he didn’t just imagine it.
You nod, watching the understanding settle across his face. “Yeah. Didn’t wanna put them back on. You handed me your clothes, so I just…”
His hands tighten at your hips, knuckles flexing against your bare skin like he’s trying so fucking hard not to lose it.
“Jesus,” he mutters, low and hoarse, like the image just broke something in him. “You’ve been like this the whole time?”
Your breath hitches, and that’s all the answer he needs.
The shift in him is instant—his mouth is back on your skin, kissing a line down your stomach, then your inner thigh, slower this time, deeper, like he’s savoring the thought.
Hands spread your legs with a kind of reverence, eyes locked on you like a man seeing something sacred for the first time.
And when he settles between them, shoulders anchoring your thighs apart, it’s not just lust in his expression.
It’s awe. It’s hunger. It’s devotion.
He exhales slow, like he’s trying to ground himself—but the tension in his shoulders says it’s a losing battle.
“Fuck, baby…” he murmurs, voice barely there, lips hovering just over your skin. “You got no idea what that’s doin’ to me.”
His fingers dig into your thighs, spreading you wider as he leans in—and when he finally drags his tongue through your folds, slow and deliberate, it pulls a gasp straight from your chest.
He groans against you, deep and raw, like you’re the best thing he’s ever tasted.
“You’re soaked,” he breathes, almost in disbelief, like he wasn’t expecting you to be this ready for him. “This all for me?”
You nod, breath ragged, and he huffs a short, wrecked laugh against your skin. Then he’s back at it—mouth open, tongue greedy, sucking your clit into the heat of his mouth before pulling away just enough to tease you with the flat of his tongue.
It’s messy. It’s focused. He’s focused—like he’s been dreaming about this and finally has you where he wants you, and now he can’t stop. Won’t stop.
He grips your thighs tighter when they start to twitch, holding you in place, tongue fucking into you with slow, devastating precision. He’s learning what makes you squirm, what makes your hips buck, and he goes after it again and again—hungry, deliberate, obsessed.
Every so often, he pauses just to kiss you there. Open-mouthed, lingering kisses, like he’s trying to make it tender and filthy at the same time.
And when he speaks, it’s into your skin—low and reverent and wrecked.
“You taste so fuckin’ good,” he growls. “Could stay down here all night. You’d let me, wouldn’t you? Let me make you come on my fuckin’ tongue?”
You can’t even respond—your fingers are in his hair, clutching hard, and he moans at the way you tug, like your need turns him on even more.
He doesn’t stop. If anything, he gets deeper, more intense—tongue and lips working in tandem, determined to push you right over the edge.
And the look he gives you when you start to unravel? It’s pure worship.
Like you’re a miracle.
He doesn’t rush.
Doesn’t tear into you like he’s trying to make a point. He just stays there—mouth warm and steady, tongue moving slow and sure through your folds, like he’s figuring you out by feel.
And the second you react—hips tilting toward him, breath hitching—he locks onto it. Keeps going in the same rhythm, like he’s memorizing what works.
His grip on your thighs tightens just slightly, holding you open, but never forceful. Just firm. Like he doesn’t want to miss a single twitch, a single sound. One hand slides up, settling on your hip, grounding you, keeping you right where he wants you. The other stays on your thigh, thumb brushing slow circles into your skin, keeping you calm. Or trying to.
Because it’s not calm anymore.
There’s nothing showy in the way he moves—just focused, hungry pressure. Every lap of his tongue has intention behind it. He’s not trying to tease. He wants you to come, and it’s obvious in every breath, every groan, every time his mouth seals around your clit and pulls a noise out of you you didn’t know you could make.
When you start to shake, he pulls back just a little—enough to look at you.
“Almost there?”
You nod fast, too far gone for words, and that’s all he needs.
He goes right back in, tongue and mouth working in sync now, no hesitation, no breaks. Just pressure, just heat, just him, fully focused on pulling you under. The tension builds quick—sharp and tight, spiraling—and he doesn’t stop until you fall apart.
Even then, he lingers. Soft, slow, soothing now. Gentle licks while you come down, his hands smoothing over your hips like he’s making sure you’re still breathing.
He stays between your thighs for a moment, just breathing, eyes dragging over you like he’s trying to decide if you’re real. Then his hand slides down—slow, careful—and his fingers spread you open with a quiet, appreciative hum.
“You’re still dripping,” he murmurs, almost to himself.
He runs a thumb through the mess he’s made, not teasing, just... feeling. Like he needs to know how soft you are, how warm. Then he shifts up slightly, mouth still close, and presses a kiss to the inside of your thigh before slipping one finger in—slow and steady.
“Still with me?” he asks, voice low.
You nod, biting your lip, hips twitching at the stretch.
“Good.”
He keeps it gentle at first, letting you adjust, watching your face the whole time. Then he curls his finger just right, and the sound you make has him swearing under his breath.
“Fuck… yeah. There it is.”
He adds a second finger, just as slowly. It’s a snug fit, but you’re wet enough that he doesn’t have to push hard—and he doesn’t. He’s careful, steady, easing you open like he wants to take his time.
Like it matters.
And it does.
“You’re takin’ me so well already,” he says quietly, more wonder than praise. “Gonna feel so fuckin’ good around me.”
His fingers work in a steady rhythm now—deep, purposeful, hitting the spot over and over while his thumb finds your clit again, rubbing soft, slow circles that have your thighs shaking all over again.
“Think you can come like this?” he asks, almost curious. “Wanna feel you squeeze around my fingers before I even get inside you.”
He keeps going until your legs are trembling again, until you’re arching into him without even realizing, until he knows you’re right there—
And he doesn’t stop until he has you falling apart a second time.
You’re still catching your breath when his fingers slip free, slow and careful, like he doesn’t want to lose the warmth of you just yet. He presses another kiss to your inner thigh, then one just above your hipbone, working his way up your body with this quiet, steady intensity—like he’s been waiting forever to touch you like this.
When he finally settles over you, his face is close, his hair still damp at the ends, a little wild from where you’ve tugged at it.
“You okay?” he asks, voice low and quiet. Not just a throwaway check-in—he means it. Like if you said stop right now, he actually would.
You nod, still flushed, still reeling.
He studies you for a beat longer, eyes scanning your face like he’s looking for any sign you’re not sure. But you are. And when your hand curls around the back of his neck to pull him down for a kiss, that’s all he needs.
His mouth moves over yours—slow this time, less frantic than before. It’s warm. Intimate. Like he wants you to feel how much this means to him. And when he pulls back, his forehead rests against yours.
“Still not rushin’ you,” he says, almost like a promise. “But I want you. Been wantin’ you since the day we met.”
You swallow, heart pounding, and ease up onto your knees.
“Then let me,” you murmur. “I want to.”
He nods—small, reverent. His hands fall back to the mattress like he’s surrendering himself to you completely, and you shift, climbing into his lap with shaky hands and a tight chest. He watches you the whole time, eyes dark but gentle, tracking the way your thighs settle around his hips.
You lean forward to kiss him once—slow, almost nervous—then sit back and reach for the waistband of his sweatpants.
And that’s when your breath catches.
He’s big.
Thick, flushed, already leaking at the tip, and heavy against his stomach. You don’t even have your hand around him yet and he looks like he shouldn’t fit.
Choso sees your hesitation—feels it, maybe—and his voice comes quiet. Steady.
“You don’t have to—”
“I want to,” you whisper, eyes still locked on him.
You reach down, fingers curling around the base, and he shudders under you. The sound he makes is low and wrecked, like even the idea of you touching him is too much.
You guide him toward your entrance, breathing a little harder now. Every nerve is alive. His leaky tip brushes against you and he groans, fingers twitching against the bedsheets.
“Wait,” he says softly, his voice suddenly closer, steadier. His hand comes to your thigh, grounding. “You alright?”
You nod—quick, almost frantic.
“Yeah,” you breathe. “I just—you're big.”
His thumb strokes gently along your skin. “I know, baby. You don’t gotta rush, alright?”
Still, you press down—slowly, inch by inch—and your body gives, stretching around him. He’s thick, the burn immediate but not unbearable, just enough to make your eyes flutter shut, jaw tight as you try to breathe through it.
He sees it all.
Your thighs shaking. The hitch in your breath. The way your hands scramble for something to hold onto—him, the sheets, anything.
“Takin’ me so good,” he murmurs, sitting up just a bit to cup your face. His thumbs brush beneath your eyes. “Look at me, sweetheart.”
You blink down at him—and that’s when the tears slip, soft and silent.
“Oh, hey,” he whispers, thumbing them away gently, kissing the edge of your jaw. “Shh… you’re okay. You’re doin’ so good for me.”
His hands cradle your hips now, steadying you. Not forcing—supporting.
“You feel like heaven,” he says, eyes flicking down to where you’re still taking him. “You’re perfect. So fuckin’ perfect like this.”
Your breath stutters as you sink just a little more, and his jaw clenches hard.
“God, you’re squeezin’ me so tight,” he breathes, voice wrecked. “You don’t even know what you’re doin’ to me.”
You pause with most of him inside, breath shaky, overwhelmed—but full. And when your eyes find his again, he’s already there, watching you with a kind of quiet awe.
“You’re okay?” he asks again, softer this time.
You nod, a tear rolling down your cheek.
“I want to,” you whisper.
Choso smiles—soft and aching.
“Then take your time,” he says. “I’m not goin’ anywhere.”
You breathe deep, hands braced on his chest, hips trembling as you sink down the last few inches. The stretch burns, your body aching with the effort, but the way he looks at you—like you’re some kind of miracle—keeps you steady.
And then you bottom out.
Your thighs meet his hips. He’s all the way inside.
And for a second, everything goes still.
Choso’s head falls back against the pillows with a ragged breath, jaw clenched so tight you swear you can hear his teeth grind. His fingers grip your hips, not to guide you, just to anchor himself—like he needs something to hold on to or he’ll lose whatever grip on reality he has left.
“Fuck,” he chokes out. “Baby—fuck, you—”
His eyes squeeze shut and he groans, long and low, like he’s never felt anything like this before. Like you’ve just undone him completely.
“You feel so good,” he whispers, voice shaking. “You feel so fuckin’ good, I can’t—can’t even think straight.”
Your hands slide up his chest as you breathe through the fullness, the pressure—every nerve raw and pulsing.
He blinks up at you, eyes blown wide, flushed and wrecked. His hands move again, gentler now, one cupping your waist, the other smoothing up your spine until it cradles the back of your head.
“You okay?” he murmurs again. “Still good?”
You nod, breathless, lips parted. “Yeah.”
“You’re takin’ me so good. Can’t believe you’re lettin’ me in like this. Feels like—feels like I’m dreamin’,” he murmurs, kissing your chest, your collarbone, wherever he can reach.
You shift your hips just slightly, and he groans, clutching at your waist like it’s the only thing keeping him grounded.
“Don’t move yet,” he begs, forehead pressed to your sternum. “Just—just stay like this a minute. Let me feel you.”
And so you do.
You sit there, chest to chest, buried deep in each other, his hands trembling against your skin, your breath feathering against his ear. No movement. No rush. Just the overwhelming heat of him inside you, the way he kisses your shoulder like he’s saying thank you without words.
Like he can’t believe he gets to be this close.
You start to move—just barely. A slow roll of your hips, careful and unsure, easing yourself into the rhythm.
Choso groans, low and guttural, his fingers tightening where they rest on your hips. You feel him twitch inside you, thick and heavy, and when you do it again—just a little deeper—his head drops back with a gasp.
“Baby…”
It’s a warning. A plea. His restraint is hanging by a thread.
But you do it again—grind down a little harder, a little slower—and that thread snaps.
He surges up with a grunt, hips bucking into you hard and sudden, burying himself deeper than before. You gasp, eyes wide, hands flying to his chest for balance.
“Choso—!”
“Fuck, I can’t,” he growls, mouth at your neck, voice cracked and breathless. “You feel too good—too fuckin’ good—I tried, baby, I did—”
He thrusts up again, rougher now, the sound of skin meeting skin filling the room. You moan loud, back arching into him, completely overwhelmed.
He groans against your shoulder, hands gripping your hips like a man possessed, guiding you into a rhythm he can’t hold back anymore. Snapping up into you over and over, messy and hard and desperate.
“So tight—so fuckin’ wet—” he pants. “You were made for me, weren’t you?”
You whimper, nodding against his mouth, and he kisses you hard, open and gasping between thrusts.
“This what you wanted?” he mutters, teeth grazing your bottom lip. “Me losin’ it underneath you? Fuckin’ you like I need it?”
Your only answer is a cry—his name—and that breaks him even more.
He pounds into you now, rhythm rough and frantic, his body trembling under the weight of it all. Every thrust drives him deeper, drags a moan from your throat, makes your vision blur with heat.
His thumb brushes your clit, fast and precise, and your whole body jerks.
“There you go,” he breathes, watching you with wild eyes. “C’mon, baby. Wanna feel you cum on me. Wanna feel you lose it—right fuckin’ here.”
And with the way he’s fucking into you—relentless, possessive, absolutely wrecked—you know you won’t last long.
Your climax crashes through you like a wave—sudden, shaking, too much. Your hips stutter, thighs trembling where they’re locked around him, mouth falling open in a gasping moan.
“Thaaat’s it,” he murmurs through gritted teeth, slowing his thrusts but never stopping, easing you through the high. “That’s my girl. Fuck—so pretty when you come for me.”
His grip on your waist loosens just slightly, letting you ride the tail end of it. You collapse forward onto his chest, boneless, breathing hard, face tucked into the crook of his neck as your walls flutter helplessly around him.
He groans.
And then it happens.
In one fluid motion, he moves—sits up, grabs you by the hips, and flips you onto your back like you weigh nothing. Your gasp barely escapes before his mouth is on yours, hungry, his body heavy and burning over yours.
He thrusts back into you hard and deep, and your whole body jolts. He’s panting now, fully gone, sweat beading at his temple, hair sticking to his jaw in damp strands.
His hips slap against yours, hard and fast, rhythm brutal. Gone is the careful restraint.
“Fuck—you’re still so tight,” he pants, driving into you again, harder. “So warm—could stay inside you forever.”
One hand grabs your thigh and pushes it back, open, spreading you wider so he can get even deeper. You cry out, toes curling, fingernails dragging down his back.
“Hold it there, baby,” he says through clenched teeth, eyes locked on where you’re joined. “Just like that—let me have it.”
His other hand drops between your bodies, fingers finding your clit like he knows exactly what you need. He rubs tight, fast circles, dragging a broken sound from your throat.
“You’re gonna give me another one,” he growls, pace relentless. “You’re gonna fuckin’ take it.”
And with the way he’s pounding into you—feral, possessed, hand on your thigh, breath hot against your cheek—you know he means it.
You’re not leaving this bed until he’s satisfied.
You’re soaked—sweat-slick and breathless beneath him, body trembling with the aftershocks of your third orgasm but he’s still moving—still buried inside you, deep and hard and relentless.
“Cho,” you whimper, voice wrecked, eyes fluttering.
“I know, I know,” Choso breathes, hand still working tight, precise circles against your clit. “One more, you got one more for me.”
You’re not sure if it’s a question or a command—but your body responds before your mouth can. Hips twitching, walls fluttering again around him like you need him to wring the last of it from you.
His thrusts grow rougher—sloppier, deeper—his control unraveling fast. His hand moves from your thigh to your face, tilting your chin toward him as he leans in, eyes locked to yours.
“You feel what you’re doin’ to me?” he hisses. “Can’t hold back anymore—fuck, baby—”
And then he slams into you one last time, hips grinding deep as you clench around him like a vice.
That’s all it takes. You break.
Again.
Your fourth orgasm rips through you without warning—violent, breath-stealing, almost too much. Your vision blurs. Back arches. A sob breaks in your throat as your body clenches, pulsing wildly around him.
Choso loses it.
“Fuck—fuck—oh my god—” he snarls, buried to the hilt as his body goes rigid, cock twitching inside you. “That’s it—fuckin’—fuckin’ takin’ me just like that—”
He cums hard, groaning deep and wrecked, hips jerking as he spills into you, warmth flooding deep. One hand cradles the back of your head, the other gripping your waist like it’s the only thing keeping him from falling apart completely.
You both stay like that—panting, sweating, shaking—his body heavy over yours, his forehead pressed to yours, eyes shut tight like he’s afraid it’s all going to disappear if he opens them.
Finally, he exhales—slow, shaky, almost a laugh.
“You alright?” he whispers, voice hoarse, thumb brushing your cheek.
You nod weakly, barely able to speak. “Mhm.”
He smiles, kisses your forehead.
“You were so good for me, angel,” he murmurs. “So fuckin’ perfect.”
You flinch a little when he pulls away, already missing the weight of him, the heat.
“Be right back, darlin’,” he murmurs, pressing a soft kiss to your jaw. His voice is low, rough around the edges, but there’s something tender in it. “Gonna get you cleaned up.”
You nod, barely able to do more than breathe.
He disappears down the hall, leaving the room bathed in the quiet aftermath—your heart still hammering, skin tingling where his hands had been. He returns a minute later with a damp, warm towel and kneels beside you, moving slow, careful.
“Still doin’ alright?” he asks, voice softer now.
“Yeah,” you whisper, and he gives a small nod, gaze never leaving yours as he starts to clean you up.
“Did so good for me,” he says. “Took me so damn well.”
You try to hide your face, but he catches your chin between his fingers, thumb brushing the edge of your jaw.
“Don’t go shy on me now.”
Once he’s done, he tosses the towel aside and climbs back into bed, pulling you into him like you belong there. You do. Right now, you do.
For a long while, it’s just the sound of your breathing—yours slowing, his steady. One of his hands drifts up and down your back, lazy and unhurried, like he’s in no rush to let the moment go.
Then, quietly, “Didn’t think I’d ever want somethin’ like this.”
You glance up at him, chin tucked near his shoulder. “Like what?”
He hesitates, eyes on the ceiling. Then, “You. In my bed. Not just for tonight.”
Your breath catches, heart stumbling. You don’t answer right away. Instead, your fingers find his, lacing together.
“I’m not in a rush to leave,” you murmur, pressing your forehead to his chest.
Choso doesn’t say anything at first, just exhales slowly—and the arm around you tightens, pulling you in like he’s afraid to let go.
Then, just above a whisper, you hear him say, “I’m glad you’re not.”
There’s a quiet honesty in it that makes your chest ache a little. You nuzzle closer, fingers still laced with his, and let the silence stretch comfortably between you.
No need to rush. Not tonight.
