entre nous

A = Aftercare - Aftercare with Tyler can vary drastically depending on the intensity of your encounter (/how much he let himself give in to his darker urges). Most of the time he's physically attentive - checking you over, cleaning you up with a surprising gentleness that almost feels like a non-verbal apology for the roughness that likely just occurred. A temporary respite from his chaotic nature, if you will. He’s the type to get you water or pull the covers over you to tuck you back in. Though oftentimes the emotional distance varies. If he's in a particularly good mood, he might engage in a little bit of teasing pillow talk.

However, it shouldn’t surprise you if he withdraws (at least a little bit) afterward - his Hyde side is volatile, & Tyler often needs a moment to separate himself from the monster's urges. I have a feeling he also likes to mark you dying sex - leaving hickeys/bruises or bite marks to look at later - so aftercare involves him admiring the his array of handiwork on your skin.

B = Body Part - On himself, Tyler favors his hands. They’re his tools of trade as a barista, but also his primary weapons. He has long, dexterous fingers that know exactly how to wield a knife or crush a windpipe just as easily as they can craft intricate latte art or tease you into a frenzy. I think he also secretly takes pride in his eyes, as they’re one of his more subtle (yet dangerous) assets. He’s able of shifting from a warm & inviting look to a hungry, predatory stare that often unnerves people.

On you? He’s obsessed with your neck. It’s vulnerable one of the most vulnerable parts of you and he loves wrapping his hand around your throat. Feeling the vibrations of your moans or whimpers of your fear/need right against his palm. A close runner-up/second favorite would probably be your thighs. He enjoys the way they feel when they are wrapped tight around his waist or trembling against his face.

C = Cum - Despite his mild-mannered mask he shows the world, I have a sneaking suspicion that underneath it all (in the right circumstances) Tyler has a possessive streak a mile wide, & I imagine that something he isn't content with only finishing inside - he wants to see it, paint you with it, or evening making you keep it inside of you (I sincerely doubt he wants kids - it’s more the gesture of it than anything else).

He gets a visceral thrill from seeing you marked by him (whether it’s his release - or bruises/hickeys/bites/etc) on your stomach, chest, or occasionally face. There is a primal satisfaction in the act of claiming (maybe it’s his Hyde side, maybe it’s something that was underneath him all along that has nothing to do with the supernatural), & he views his release as a brand of sorts. If he finishes inside, he secretly enjoys the thought of it slowly dripping out of you later, a physical reminder of him when you're trying to function.

D = Dirty Secret - That the line between his hunger to kill and his hunger to fuck is almost non-existent for him. The rush of the hunt, the domination, & the fear he inspires in others are directly linked to his libido - especially as he’s gotten older. Tyler has fantasies that often involve some variation of chasing you through the woods or holding a knife to your throat while taking you from behind - & having you beg him for it. The fact that you want him despite knowing he's a monster - or perhaps because of it - is the ultimate ego boost for him. In all honestly, there’s a part of Tyler doesn't just want your body. He also wants to corrupt your soul. Make you an accomplice to his darkness so you can never leave him. Everyone else seems to leave him - & he isn’t about to let that happen again.

E = Experience - Despite his harmless boy-next-door appearance, Tyler is likely far more experienced than he lets on. His manipulative nature means he probably learned quickly how to read people and what makes them tick (even before he realized he was part Hyde). Now, as an adult, he knows exactly what he's doing, especially when it comes to psychological foreplay. His teen years were fraught with adults in his life psychologically (& sometimes physically) harming him - & I feel like he eventually figured out how to take some of that power back in the form of partners who would be willing to engage with him. To let him take the wheel in the realm of control and dominance. He knows how and when to draw things out, edge a partner, and how to use his own body as a weapon to overwhelm your senses. Hopefully in a good way.

F = Favorite Position - Anything that allows him to maintain eye contact and control over your movement is his go-to. Though sometimes his absolute favorite is having you ride him. It offers you a false sense of control, which he subverts by gripping your hips hard enough to bruise, dictating the pace, and forcing you to look at him. Tyler obviously wants to watch your face as you fall apart for him. Alternatively, he enjoys positions where he can pin your wrists above your head or against a mattress, using his weight to completely immobilize you while he whispers dark promises in your ear.

G = Goofy - Uhhh yeah no - Tyler is rarely (if ever) goofy in the bedroom. I think he could be sweet to you in public, but sex for him is a serious, visceral act. It's often an outlet for his aggression & his desperate need for control (likely stemming from the fact that he had no control over earlier events in this life). He might crack a dark joke or a sarcastic comment if you're being particularly bratty or if the mood strikes him, but his words are usually laced with more of a taunting challenge than actual humor. He views laughter during sex as a distraction unless he's the one laughing at your helplessness. He prefers a heavier, tense atmosphere where the only sounds are heavy breathing, skin slapping against skin, & your whimpers & quiet pleas for release.

H = Hair - I think he likely keeps himself well-groomed (again, I have a sneaking suspicion that after all he’s been through in his life he has a deep-rooted need to control certain aspects of his life) - but honestly I don’t think he particularly cares what you do. He just prefers his partners be clean - all the better to contrast with how dirty he’s about to make you.

I = Intimacy - Intimacy for Tyler is a complicated, twisted sort of thing. He is capable of being incredibly romantic (in a gothic, tortured, let’s-watch-Legally-Blonde-in-a-crypt sort of way), but it's always filtered through his obsessive nature. As your relationship progresses, the gloves come off more & more. He often stares intensely, holds you a bit too tight, & treats your body like something he owns (logically he knows he doesn’t - but I think he likes to pretend).

Sometimes (depending on how volatile he’s feeling) during the act, he can be surprisingly tender - tracing scars, curves, or other features of your body with reverence. He whispers things that sound like love confessions but are actually more like declarations of ownership if you listen closely - telling you that you're his. That no one else will ever touch you. That no matter if you run or hide - you're thoroughly ruined for anyone else. It's terrifyingly intimate, leaving you feeling completely seen - but also… Trapped.

J = Jack Off - Like most guys, masturbation is a seemingly necessary (& often daily) occurrence for him. It’s fueled by anger or frustration rather than simple arousal. He rarely does it just for fun; it’s usually to take the edge off the Hyde's pitch-black urges or to replay a particularly intense interaction with you in his head. He’d efficient about it, rough with his grip, & focuses heavily on the fantasy of the hunt or the kill. If he's apart from you, he thinks about the specific noises you make when he's choking you or the look in your eyes right before you climax. He doesn't need visual aids like porn - his imagination is vivid and dark enough to get him there pretty quickly. It’s a release of tension, a way to keep the beast at bay until he can sink his teeth into the real thing.

K = Kink - Primal play (or a predator/prey dynamic) is his number one kink. It speaks directly to his internal Hyde instincts, after all. He loves chasing you & hunting you down (be it through the woods on the edge of town, or even just through your apartment), as well as the "fear play" aspect - simulating a threat that turns into arousal. Breath play/choking is a close second; Tyler definitely gets a rush of power from controlling your ability to breathe.

There’s a part of me that also feels like he also has a bit of a corruption kink - he was corrupted at a formative age against his will, so in order to regain a lost sense of control, he would likely want to be the one to introduce you to darker, rougher things life has to offer. Taking someone more "innocent" and breaking you (whether consensually or with more of a consensual-non-consent/dubious consent vibe) until you crave his specific brand of darkness would delight him.

L = Location - He’s not super picky all things considered. The supply closet at Weathervane, the back of his pickup truck, or the woods at the edge of town - places where you could be caught or where the environment itself feels threatening. He gets a thrill from the risk. However, his true favorite is his own space (his place or yours) where he can lock the door & truly let loose without worrying about witnesses. He likes the feeling of temporarily keeping you isolated from the rest of the world.

M = Motivation - Your defiance/feistiness are honestly a massive turn-ons for him. If you talk back, challenge him, or even attempt to dominate him, it immediately spikes his arousal because he loves the challenge of breaking you back down to show you exactly who is in charge. Fear is also a powerful motivator, but specifically fear mixed with desire - that wide-eyed look you often give him of "I shouldn't want this but I do."

Any display of competence or intelligence that he can admire also makes him want to tear that composure apart until you're a begging mess beneath him. He likes dismantling the "perfect" exterior you think your have in order to get to the real, raw version of you.

N = No - Tyler will not share. Sharing is not in his vocabulary. The idea of a threesome or involving anyone else in your sex life is an instant dealbreaker. He’s far too jealous to ever tolerate another person touching what he views as his. He also has limits regarding permanent disfigurement (on you). While he likes bruises and bites, he wouldn't want to ruin your face or permanently scar you in a way that would make you resent him (sometimes just knowing he could is enough to satisfy the urge to carve his initials into your skin). He also would never strike you (slap/hit/etc) - because even though he needs to be in control, he also knows what it’s like to be abused. And that’s not the sort of fear he wants to instill in you. Pleasure will always accompany any pain he gives you.

O = Oral - It’s not his favorite method of foreplay, but sometimes if he’s feeling a bit softer - he’ll engage in it because he knows you enjoy it. Though he frames is through the lens of the fact that he enjoys having you spread out beneath him, completely at his mercy while he devours you. He’s enthusiastic, kinda messy, and uses his tongue to tease & torture rather than just please. He will edge you for what feels like ages, bringing you to the brink & then stopping just to watch you squirm. When he does receive, he gets off on the visual of you on your knees for him, tears in your eyes, struggling to take all of him. It reinforces the hierarchy between you in the bedroom.

P = Pace - He usually starts out with a slow, torturous pace designed to make you desperate & needy for him (duh). Tyler unabashedly likes to tease, to pull out and push back in agonizingly slowly, making you feel every inch of him. However, once his own temper flares, he shifts to a more punishing, fast rhythm. He’s rough, slamming into you with enough force to shake the bed - & he doesn't hold back; he uses his full strength, and the pace is relentless. It’s a physical workout for both of you, and he takes great satisfaction in your inability to keep up or form coherent sentences.

Q = Quickie - He occasionally enjoys quickies for the sheer thrill. For him, it's a fast, hard release. He’ll bend you over a stack of boxes or push you against a wall of the supply closet at the Weathervane, handle business with his typical efficiency and roughness, zip up, & go back to making coffee. He likes the dichotomy of being the polite, smiling barista one second and having you hiding hickeys & trying not to look freshly fucked the next. The trysts keep the dark hunger temporarily at bay - he knows he’ll get to properly ruin you later.

R = Risk - High risk, higher reward in Tyler’s experience. The Hyde-side of him that’s constantly lurking in the shadows of his mind doesn't care about social norms or safety. And as a result, Tyler has fully embraced that side of himself over the years. If he’s feeling especially reckless, he’s got zero qualms about have sex in places where there’s a potential of getting caught. He enjoys the adrenaline spike.

General experimentation (which some people could classify as risky) is also on the table. If it’s darker or rougher, he’s probably willing to try it at least once. Tyler doesn’t want to feel controlled or helpless ever again, so to compensate for that he’s not afraid of pushing your boundaries - physical or emotional. He sees risk as akin to a seasoning that makes the whole meal taste better. He’d likely suggest things that would terrify a normal person so he can gauge your limits & see just how far down the rabbit hole you're willing to go with him.

S = Stamina - Thanks to the Hyde genes coursing through him, his stamina is admittedly rather impressive. He can go for multiple rounds without breaking a significant sweat, & last a long time during intercourse, partly out of a desire to tease you and partly because he treats sex like an endurance event. He could probably go all night, stopping only if you literally tap out or pass out from exhaustion. And even then, it’s possible he wouldn’t be entirely above using your spent body in your sleep - though he prefers you awake.

T = Toys - Though he probably would’ve viewed them as annoying competition in his younger years, now he’s matured & certainly isn't opposed to using vibrators on you, usually holding it against you until you're sobbing from the overstimulation. He probably wouldn't use toys on himself - as he either doesn't need them, or maybe he views them as unnecessary crutches.

Depending on what your definition of “toys” is though, I don’t think he’d be into bondage (given…. gestures vaguely…) or anything that physically restrained you. He can do that all by himself - no chains or ropes required. He’s always experienced what that’s like, & he doesn’t really have a desire to inflict that upon you.

U = Unfair - Despite the sweet & calm outward demeanor he shows to the rest of the world - you know the truth. Tyler is the definition of unfair. He gets off on your frustration & fire - denying you release just because he can, or because he likes the sound your barely-contained cries. He’ll taunt you, asking if you want it, knowing damn well you do, but making you beg for it anyway. He’ll praise you one moment for being "such a good girl" and then degrade you the next for being so needy. He keeps you off balance most of the time, as unpredictability is part of the thrill for him. He loves seeing how much you can take before you break, & he’ll push those buttons relentlessly.

V = Volume - Tyler isn't silent by any means, but he isn't a screamer. He communicates through growls & heavy breathing that sounds more like a predator stalking prey than a typical lover. He talks dirty - a lot - his already deep voice dropping another octave or two, becoming raspier & more commanding (he knows the effect his voice has on you in general - & oh boy, will he use that to his advantage). He whispers dark things in your ear, narrating what he's doing to you, or what he's going to do. He gets louder when he's close to the edge, his breathing hitching, letting out low, guttural groans when he finishes. Hearing you be loud, however, is a huge motivator; he wants to make you cry out, to make you lose all control over your volume - all because of him.

W = Wild Card - Despite his dark proclivities in bed, twisted version of intimacy, loads of barely-dealt-with trauma from his past, & Hyde nature - there are times when Tyler craves calmness. A night where you fall asleep together on the couch - not spent from intense sex, but just naturally during a movie or TV show. A slow Saturday morning where you play with his hair & neither of you leave bed till noon. A slow makeout session in the shower. He doesn’t know how to ask you for that, though. Maybe he’s afraid it would dull your sex life to see him in a vulnerable state, or that you wouldn’t entirely trust his motives for wanting occasional calmness. But he secretly wants it nonetheless.

X = X-ray - Tyler’s definetly got a sleeper build in general that initially took you by surprise the first time you were together. You didn’t expect a lot of what you got from the outwardly gentle barista - one of them being the fact that he was ripped. The other being that he was actually packing. There’s a pleasing thickness to him rather than just length, which he is acutely aware of and knows you like. When he’s hard, it curves slightly upward, perfect for hitting that specific spot inside you that makes your legs shake. He takes pride in how good (& situationally afraid) he can make you feel.

Y = Yearning - That’s a feeling that likely simmers beneath the surface of Tyler’s psyche under layers of many other complex emotions. He yearns for connection through understanding - but really only knows how to achieve it during domination & being so physically close to you. But he also doesn't just want sex. On some level I think he wants to consume you. It’s a hunger that sits in the pit of his stomach, constant and gnawing, only temporarily sated by physical release.
