modern!valarr and modern!aerion x reader at manhattan party
i’m writing and fantasizing about this during my vacant in uni; modern valarr and aerion being rich spoiled heirs of a multibillion family business attending rich people parties at high rise establishments and they gain interest in one of the partygoers and wants to share them… yes yes, stay with me here.
The Manhattan skyline glittered below the penthouse like spilled diamonds. Valarr stood near the bar, a crystal glass of whiskey balanced perfectly in his perfect hands. His suit was impeccable, posture immaculate, but his eyes never left the small chaos in the corner—a pretty little woman slumped against the chaise lounge, clearly far too drunk to navigate the room on her own.
Aerion, sprawled across the velvet sofa, noticed her too. His smirk was sharp, indulgent, as though he had just spotted a new toy. “Look at her,” he murmured to his equally hungry and observant cousin, voice low but meant to carry. “She doesn’t even know how lost she is.”
Valarr’s lips quirked slightly. “Not for long,” he said smoothly, finishing his sip and making his way toward her. Every step measured, every movement deliberate. He crouched slightly, offering his hand with perfect manners. “Careful there,” he said, guiding her gently but firmly to sit upright on the sofa.
Aerion moved at the same moment, leaning in from the other side. His fingers brushed hers as if by accident, his presence warm and intrusive. “I’ll keep her entertained,” he murmured, eyes gleaming.
Valarr’s hand rested on her lower back, steadying her, claiming her in a way only he could… polite, controlled, but entirely his. Aerion’s arm curved around the back of the sofa, trapping her subtly between them. She giggled, swaying between the two, caught in their dangerous orbit, completely unaware of the silent agreement passing between them.
The cousins exchanged a glance, almost imperceptible. Valarr’s gaze was calculating, assessing limits. Aerion’s grin was reckless, daring, and indulgent. Neither needed words—they were in perfect sync, orchestrating the moment together. She leaned on Valarr for stability, laughed at Aerion’s teasing, and they both watched her with quiet, predatory amusement.
“Think you’ve had enough?” Valarr smiles sweetly, head tilting, Aerion beside him, gaze hungry and anticipatory.
By the time the song changed, it was obvious to anyone paying attention; they weren’t just keeping her safe. She was theirs to toy with, entertain, and guide. The party around them blurred into background noise; the world shrank to the small, intoxicated chaos of the young woman caught perfectly between two spoiled, entitled heirs.
i cannot write smut for the life of me but i do hope you guys get my vision here. i’m horny but my smut writing is too pathetically rustyy, i hope someone whose good at writing sees this and it falls into good hands, please… smut writer gods, heed my call (and tag me as well.) p.s its 100% a filthy kinky nasty disgusting threesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yes yes yes. aerion is a huge spoiled brat, and valarr is a spoiled brat with manners.

chapter 3 — spatial negotiation
You wore red.
Not crimson. Not something timid like maroon or softened like rust.
Red.
Clear, loud, undeniable.
The kind of red that felt like a warning. You chose it intentionally—the only form of armor that didn’t ask to be forgiven.
The dress was simple in shape, no glitter or tricks. Structured satin, sleeveless, falling just above your ankles. The neckline sharp enough to suggest elegance, the open back enough to suggest you knew what rooms you were walking into. Your hair was clean and off your shoulders, your makeup minimal but unforgiving.
You looked like someone who hadn’t needed to beg for her place at the table, even if you had, privately, many times before.
The Castillo estate wasn’t gaudy. It was discreetly opulent, the kind of wealth that didn’t bother proving itself anymore. The hallways were lit in soft amber tones. Art hung like language, every piece a sentence carefully placed, murmuring something about power, legacy, taste. The entrance hall opened into the main gallery dining room like a stage, all marble floors and hushed luxury.
You were offered a glass of Laurent-Perrier the second you stepped in.
There were ten people at the table. You recognized most of them by name, if not by face—curators, critics, one or two gallerists whose careers were rumored to have been fast-tracked by Harry himself. A silver-haired woman in couture who once chaired the MoMA expansion board. A young man whose sculpture review had caused an entire residency program to collapse. And him.
Harry Castillo stood at the head of the table, glass in hand, smiling in that impossibly even way that didn’t reach his eyes. The room moved around him, not toward him—but for him.
He wasn’t loud. He didn’t have to be. He welcomed each guest not with fanfare, but with small, intentional touches, a brief hand on the shoulder, a reference to a recent acquisition, a private joke with the man beside him about a badly timed Venice flood.
When his eyes landed on you, however, everything in him paused.
His glass lowered. His smile didn’t move.
You knew what red did in a room. But the way he looked at you was like he’d been expecting fire and still got burned.
“Glad you came,” he said, voice lower than necessary.
You didn’t let yourself smile. “I figured someone should represent the underfunded.”
He held your gaze, a flicker of amusement beneath something heavier. “And red’s a generous gesture.”
“It’s just a color,” you replied.
“No,” he said softly. “Not on you.”
You took the seat furthest from him. He clocked it. Didn’t say anything. Just poured your champagne himself before returning to the opposite end of the table.
Dinner was a performance.
The first course was a chilled saffron consommé with a single, floating quail egg—delicate, surreal, intentional. Followed by a halibut carpaccio laced with yuzu oil and pink peppercorn. Then came the real centerpiece: slow-cooked duck over black garlic polenta, garnished with edible petals and a foam you didn’t ask about. Wine was poured at precise intervals, white, then a bold burgundy that made your teeth ache.
The guests laughed, but not always out of humor. Some were performing, others genuinely enthralled.
You could tell who was used to this life by how little they flinched at the menu, or the curation of the guest list. Harry was magnetic in these spaces—not dominating, just quietly omniscient. He leaned in at the right times, called out a guest’s comment to draw chuckles from the others, recited a quote about post-war abstraction that had the older critic beside him nearly applauding.
Still, his eyes flicked to you more than once. Like you were a different kind of question he couldn’t quite fold into his script.
You weren’t passive either. You spoke when you had something to say. You matched their references, dodged a man’s attempt to box you in by mentioning your “youthful eye.” You countered it with a brutal but fair critique of the stagnant trends in commercial sculpture.
The woman across from you raised her glass. “She bites,” she said, smiling.
Harry watched. Not possessively—but with the quiet intensity of someone who wanted to know where your mind would turn next.
At dessert, the air grew denser. A plate of fig panna cotta with honeycomb shards, next to miniature spiced chocolate tarts. The wine turned golden. The table quieter. Someone asked if you’d seen Castillo’s newest acquisition, the oil painting in the west wing, the one “too dense to hang publicly.” You admitted you hadn’t.
“She has a thing for tension,” Harry said suddenly, not looking at you.
“She curates it,” another guest added.
He finally looked over. “She lives in it.”
That shut the room up for half a beat. You said nothing. Just lifted your glass, not in toast, but in subtle defiance.
Eventually, the table scattered. Cigarettes in the garden. A decanter of whiskey passed around the lounge. Some guests left with drawn-out farewells, others disappeared into side rooms, murmuring about funding and co-commissions.
You found yourself at the gallery wall near the exit, half on purpose, half because you needed air. The silence was cooler there. Marble beneath your heels. A soft whir of air conditioning overhead.
“You stayed longer than I thought,” came the voice behind you.
You turned. He was two feet away. No tie. Sleeves still rolled. A little tired around the eyes.
“I thought about leaving early,” you said.
“I would’ve stopped you.”
You raised an eyebrow. “Is that another test?”
“No,” he said. “That’s honesty.”
A beat passed.
“Do you always study your guests this much?” you asked, eyes scanning the painting beside you. A large abstract piece, deep reds and bruised golds, edges almost violent in their layering.
“You ask too much questions,” he said.
You turned to face him fully then. Neither of you smiling.
“Why am I here, Harry?”
He didn’t answer right away. Just looked at you like he was weighing every way not to say what he wanted.
“Because I don’t believe in accidents,” he finally said. “And you’ve disrupted too many rooms for it to be coincidence.”
You swallowed. His closeness made the air harder to breathe.
He stepped closer—barely—but it felt like a question. Not a move.
“I’m hosting something more private next week,” he said, voice quieter now. “A smaller dinner. Fewer people. Just artists. Come.”
You didn’t answer. You let the tension sit between you, like a wire you weren’t ready to cut.
But you both knew.
You’d say yes.
Just as you turned your head to break the gaze between you, something low and warm stirred in the walls, music. Distant at first. A faint, nearly imperceptible hum that filtered through the quiet like a fog. The kind of melody that wasn’t planned but always finds a way to settle in at the end of nights like this. Something old. A jazz standard, maybe, a brushed snare drum, a dragging piano, and a voice full of velvet and regret.
Harry glanced toward the sound system hidden in the gallery’s recesses, then back to you. His expression was unreadable at first, somewhere between amusement and challenge.
“Careful,” you said, watching him. “That almost sounds like intention.”
He smiled faintly. “Not everything is.”
You felt your pulse shift in your throat. He stepped forward, not to crowd, but to be known. To be in your frame of reference again, entirely. He didn’t ask the next question with words. He offered his hand, slow and open, like a soft proposal.
You looked down at it. The invitation wasn’t romantic, not entirely. It felt… deliberate. Weighted. A dare in silk gloves.
“This is not the Met Gala,” you said, half under your breath, fingers brushing against his palm without committing yet. “And I don’t dance with men who donate anonymously.”
He tilted his head, a smirk flickering just under the edge of his mouth. “Then don’t call it a dance. Call it… spatial negotiation.”
You laughed once—soft and reluctant—and finally placed your hand in his.
His hand was warm, steady. You expected it to be colder. More practiced. But there was something about the way he held yours, not too tight, not too loose, something curious, unhurried.
He didn’t lead you toward the center of the room. Instead, he pulled you into the shallow spill of light near the painting you’d both been standing in front of, letting the thick brushstrokes and gold leaf witness whatever this was becoming.
The music folded around you like breath.
His other hand found the small of your back. Not possessive. Anchoring.
You hadn’t danced in years—not properly.
Not like this. Not in a room where someone like him was watching you like this. You’d always thought of dances as something ornate, frivolous, reserved for people with less urgency, with more time to spare. But now, pressed into the sound of something languid and slow, your heels steady on the stone floor, your pulse echoing in your ears louder than the saxophone, you realized something terrifying:
You liked being seen by him.
You weren’t sure you liked him, not yet. But being observed by Harry Castillo felt like being translated.
He didn’t say anything. He simply moved with you, intent, restrained, respectful in posture but charged in proximity. You could feel the faint pull in his fingers when the tempo dipped. The slow glide of your bodies in tandem, a low hum of friction where fabric met fabric. His gaze never wandered, never dipped to your mouth or your collarbone, which would have been obvious.
Lazy. Instead, he held your eyes the way a man might hold a match, close enough to feel its heat but not let it burn.
“You’re a good liar,” you murmured into the space between you.
That caught him off guard, faintly. “About what?”
“About not orchestrating this.”
He grinned, slow. “Again, I don’t believe in accidents.”
A silence fell between you, not uncomfortable, just pregnant with things neither of you were prepared to say.
You let yourself lean in, barely, enough to feel the breath on his throat. Not out of intimacy, but to gauge him. To test. He didn’t flinch. Didn’t react. Just matched your energy like a mirror.
Outside, you could hear the shuffling of staff, the murmur of doors opening for departing guests, the low thud of heels on stone. Inside, this gallery-turned-dancefloor remained suspended in some other hour.
Eventually, the song dipped toward its final bars. The notes began to stretch, the singer’s voice fraying at the ends like thread.
You didn’t pull away.
Neither did he.
It wasn’t a kiss. It wasn’t a promise.
It was the breath before it.
He released your hand slowly, letting it drop with a trace of finality. The music faded into silence. Your heart did not.
“I’ll send you the address,” he said, voice quiet and even.
“To what?” you tilt your head curiously. “Just some small dinner, whiskey neat.”
You nodded once. “I’ll think about it.”
He said nothing more.
You walked out of the gallery alone, your red dress a slow flash of heat against the cool night.
And when you reached the car, when your fingers finally touched the handle, you exhaled for the first time in twenty full minutes.
You were no longer ascending.
You were spiraling.
And for the first time… you weren’t trying to stop.

chapter 2 — portrait of a climb
You were starting to consistently ascend.
Not with the noisy spectacle that came from nepotism or art-world lineage, not through magazine covers or cocktail party features, but with intention. With an obsessive kind of precision.
Your days started to move like a blade through silk: curated, sharp, unremarkably beautiful from the outside. Studio visits, endless email threads, clipped conversations with gallery directors, grant panels, coffee you never finished. Every hour accounted for.
You weren’t climbing to be admired. You were climbing because you couldn’t bear the thought of staying still. And yet, even as you moved higher, your name was still spoken in cautious italics, always bracketed, footnoted, as if you hadn’t quite arrived.
But people noticed.
Your first few projects didn’t make waves. But they made impressions, the kind that settled in people’s minds a little longer than expected. You weren’t chasing spectacle. You were chasing sincerity, coherence, something with weight.
You wanted people to linger, not because they were dazzled, but because something about the work made them pause.
The earliest exhibit you curated was tucked in the back room of a shared gallery space. It wasn’t officially yours, you were assisting, but the lead curator let you take the reins on one room, a modest lineup of mixed media pieces from young, unknown artists exploring domestic labor and migration. You arranged them in a tight, enclosed flow, intentionally claustrophobic.
A few visitors commented on how personal the space felt, like they’d walked into someone’s memory.
You took that as a quiet win.
Later came “Threshold,” your first small solo curation, staged in a small artist-run space with a leaky ceiling and one working spotlight. It featured mostly installation work, found objects, video loops, soft sculptures sewn from old uniforms.
You spent more time handling logistics than anything creative, transporting borrowed pedestals in your friend’s car, staying past midnight to label walls with hand-cut vinyl. But you loved it.
The mess, the hustle, the quiet joy of hearing someone ask, “Who put this together?” and watching the gallerist point to you.
You were drawn to work that wasn’t flashy. That sat with the viewer slowly. You were interested in transitions, border crossings, adolescence, grief, the spaces in-between. Not everyone noticed. Some write-ups forgot to mention your name.
Some gallery emails addressed you as an assistant when you weren’t.
But the artists noticed. They thanked you. And those words stayed with you longer than the rest.
Your current projects are still modest. One involves curating a rotating wall of student photography inside a campus café.
Another, a pop-up exhibit in a defunct bakery slated for demolition, focused on spatial memory and erasure. You’re planning a collaborative zine to accompany it, with short essays and handwritten notes from the artists.
It’s not glamorous. There’s no budget.
But it matters to you.
You keep a spreadsheet of possible venues and another of themes you might explore someday, absence, noise, textile memory, digital rituals. You’re not waiting for a big break. You’re building a body of work that, over time, might speak louder than you can now.
Because you know your taste is developing. Your voice is still sharpening. But it’s there.
And one day, it’ll be unmistakable.
And now the right people were beginning to murmur.
That woman.
That curator.
She has an eye for collapse.
You didn’t come from the kind of life where people taught you how to name colors like smoke or stone or ruin or love.
No name to call back to, no quiet stream of backup funds if things went wrong. No basement filled with archived artworks from relatives, no trust fund to float you between internships.
Just you.
Just your work.
And a series of jobs that paid barely enough to cover rent, let alone frame a piece.
Sometimes you felt like an outsider, but not in the romantic way people like to frame it.
It wasn’t charming. It was logistical. You had to weigh every opportunity against how much time it would cost you, how many meals you’d skip, how much you could fake your way through another room full of people who spoke about artists like they were stock portfolios.
You’ve smiled through conversations about collectors’ summer homes while your student loan interest piled quietly in the background.
There were nights you’d walk home from install shifts with the taste of metal in your mouth, not from hunger, but from the adrenaline of trying to appear composed in front of someone who could change everything for you if they felt like it.
And they usually didn’t. Because the truth is, people notice. They notice when your blazer isn’t designer, when your shoes are scuffed, when you don’t drop names because you don’t have any to drop. You learned how to stay in rooms without shrinking.
You learned how to talk just enough to be memorable, but not so much that they’d ask where you grew up or how many jobs you worked at once.
You weren’t reckless. You couldn’t afford to be. There was no net. One mistake, one mistimed reply, one badly handled event, one late rent check, and you’d have to start over.
Others could afford to fail upward.
You had to land every jump.
But you didn’t resent them, not entirely. You just envied the quiet cushion they didn’t even realize they walked on. The way they could speak without urgency. The way their careers were structured around choices, not survival.
Still, you kept going. Not because of some noble dream. But because quitting would feel like agreeing with everyone who silently decided you wouldn’t make it anyway.
And despite it all, you knew you had taste. You had instinct. You could feel something shift in a room when you laid a piece just right, when a viewer paused a second longer than they meant to.
You knew how to build meaning from absence.
You knew how to notice.
So you made yourself undeniable. You outread, outresearched, outlasted. You stayed late.
You made enemies. You earned your taste, didn’t inherit it.
Love? That was a deferred thing. A pleasure for later. Once you had made yourself unshakable. When your name could stand without leaning against someone else’s fame or donation.
So when the messages began, you didn’t flush or preen.
You bristled.
The first came with no sender, no timestamp, just a single card slipped into your department mailbox, thick, brutalist paper stock, faintly perfumed with something sharp and chemical.
Varnish, maybe. Or money. It read: “Saw your curation of Soriani’s triptych. You have an eye for collapse. That’s rare.”
No name. No request.
Just a statement. Clean and quiet, like a bullet. You stared at it for a full minute before folding it into your planner, between notes and press releases.
You told yourself to forget it.
But forgetting him wasn’t going to be simple.
The donation came a week later.
Unnamed, substantial.
Enough to secure the next six months of your exhibition. The exhibition you’d pitched on adrenaline and stubbornness and risked your professional credibility for. No press announcement revealed the donor, but you knew. It was the same unnerving sensation as walking into a room and knowing someone had just left.
That trace of attention. The chill of being seen without being touched.
Then you started seeing him.
Not often. Just enough to feel inevitable. The first time was during a symposium at The Nest—industrial repurposed architecture, lecture chairs with bad lumbar support, the kind of audience who measured intellect by who could quote Foucault faster.
You were mid-panel, articulating a case for object fragmentation as political rebellion. You felt yourself on fire, words moving fast but exact, and still—somewhere in your peripheral, your rhythm stalled.
There he was. The Harry Castillo.
Standing alone near the back.
Not leaning, not distracted. Hands folded. Not even pretending to take notes.
Just watching. As if he’d been waiting to see what you’d do.
You found him by the freight elevator after the event, just as you were about to call a car. He stood in front of a piece no one cared about, a melted-wax diptych installed too low on the wall, the kind of thing interns leave out of the tour path.
“You didn’t mention this one,” he said.
You paused. “It’s not on the itinerary.”
He didn’t look away from the piece. “Or maybe you thought it aligned too closely with your thesis.”
Your throat tightened. “Do you always do this?”
“What’s that?”
“Lurk. Watch women work.” you cross your arms like he’s some kind of hindrance, you wished it was just that.
He turned to you slowly, as if deciding whether to smile or not. “Only the ones who don’t realize they’re performing.”
You didn’t flinch. But your stomach did that thing it does, hollow and hot all at once.
He didn’t touch you. Didn’t follow. He just walked away like it hadn’t cost him anything to speak to you. And somehow, that restraint unnerved you more than if he’d made a move.
You threw yourself back into work. Answered emails faster. Canceled drinks. Switched your perfume to something clean and mineral.
You reigned yourself in, tried to cauterize the corners where he had somehow seeped in. But he remained like a watermark. A residue. You started to feel him before he entered the room, never early, never late, but always just as the tension in your shoulders lifted.
It wasn’t what people thought. You weren’t sleeping with him. He wasn’t flattering you. He barely spoke. But he was always near. Watching. Not with desire, but with an intent that made you feel exposed anyway.
You started catching yourself searching for him. At gallery events, at academic mixers, even at auction previews you knew he wouldn’t attend. You started dressing differently, sharper tailoring, deeper necklines, darker lipstick. Not for him. You told yourself that. But something in you wanted to command the gaze he refused to offer fully.
He finally approached you again at a temporary installation in a decommissioned train station. You were adjusting lighting angles on a mirrored kinetic sculpture, pacing with a tablet in hand. You sensed him before you saw him.
“You move like you’re always ready to vanish,” he said softly behind you.
You turned, slowly. “Maybe I am.”
He studied you, his eyes quiet and brutal. “That’s what makes you dangerous. You know how to disappear. That’s rare.”
Your throat was dry. “You’re not supposed to be here.”
“I go where the interesting things are,” he said.
You could have stepped back. You could have ended it.
But instead you asked, “What do you find interesting, exactly?”
His gaze dropped—quick, unreadable. Then:
“The way your voice flattens when you lie. The way your hands pause mid-gesture when you’re second-guessing yourself. The way you never look away from confrontation. You catalog everything. And yet, you hate being seen.”
The worst part wasn’t what he said. It was the unbearable stillness between his words. Like he was daring you to flinch.
You didn’t.
Later that night, back home in your apartment, you sat fully dressed on the edge of your bed, too tense to move, your phone heavy in your hand. You should’ve deleted his number, if you’d ever had it. You should’ve blocked whatever ghost he used to reach you. But you didn’t.
You’re still humming, almost buzzing. That’s the best word for it—buzzing—from the top of your scalp down to the soles of your feet. The silk blouse you peeled off still smells faintly of champagne and someone’s too-expensive cologne. You fold it carefully, like you always do, even when your brain feels like it’s made of gauze and light.
The bathroom mirror catches your eye. Your lipstick is half-worn, but your eyes—God, your eyes look alive. Electric. You lean in. Were they always this bright after a night like that?
You take your time with your skincare, fingers pressing into your cheekbones, jaw, neck. That lingering ache behind your ears from too much smiling, too many “Of course, I’d love to connect,” still pulses. The panel was a blur—names, deals, dry laughter layered over dry martinis. You held your own. More than held your own. You thrived.
You talked about art like it was blood. Like it was religion. And they listened.
The bed is cool when you sink into it. You tuck your legs beneath the sheets and exhale, but the tension doesn’t leave your body—it coils somewhere under your ribs. Something between pride and a faint, aching hunger. You should sleep, but your mind replays snippets of conversation, the way a hedge fund darling said your eye for surrealist Latin American work was “audacious,” the way someone slipped you their number with the weight of a promise.
You smell the night on your skin. You feel the weight of the room still pressing against you, like it hasn’t let go yet. Neither have you.
You’re becoming someone. And it thrills you more than you’ll admit.
Ultimately you just sat there.
Your inbox pinged once, then twice. A briefing reminder. A logistics file.
Then, another message. Short. Unsigned.
A private dinner. Saturday. Castillo Estate. Confidential list.
You will be seated beside the host. Dress code: interpret “red.”
You stared at it until your eyes blurred.
You didn’t respond. But you knew your silence was its own answer. And you knew, deep in your spine, between your legs, somewhere shameful, you were going.
Not for power.
Not for permission.
For something you couldn’t name yet.
Maybe when the party happens, there will be a glass of wine you wouldn’t drink, and a room full of people who’d wonder why the only woman Harry Castillo looked at like that… was you.

chapter 1 — grief and desire
You told yourself it didn’t matter.
It didn’t.
It shouldn’t.
Right?
It was one encounter.
Merely even a flicker, maybe at least for a man like him. A glimmer of interest, like the trace of some strong perfume left in a room long after the person who wore it was gone.
The Harry Castillo had looked at you, really looked at you—and you’d felt a thrill so acute it frightened you. Electricity trickled down your spine so deliciously you wanted to feel it again, that pleasant shiver, that delicious itch you so badly want to scratch immediately.
You didn’t blush easily, but your neck had obviously grown warmer, and mind you, the gallery was so cold you second guessed on wearing something less thin. You’d left the gallery with a strange buzzing beneath your skin, like your nerves had been tuned to a new frequency, and now every sound under felt louder. Every movement, yours or anyone else’s felt exposed.
The name, Harry Castillo, nestled itself in your thoughts with the casual weight of something inevitable, something that evaded your mind even while you did the most mundane things, biting your lips, him. Checking for texts and emails, him. Drinking your usual cup of tea, him. Visiting book stores, him.
You didn’t Google him that night.
Not because you didn’t want to, but because you knew what you’d already find.
You’d heard of him in corners of conversations you weren’t meant to be part of. Among esteemed professors who lowered their voices when his name came up during random conversations. Among every types of artists who spoke of him like some kind of fable: a man with a Midas touch, and a taste for the unruly.
A mogul, others always said. A patron. A very generous man. A collector of minds before things.
“Harry Castillo doesn’t buy art,” someone once murmured during a roundtable talk your second year in grad school, you contemplated about it for a moment, twirling and playing with your pen. “He consumes it. Entirely. Devours it whole. And somehow makes you think he’s doing you a favor by doing so.”
You hadn’t understood it much then.
You do now.
His card had stayed in your purse for days. Each time you reached for something, your lip balm, your pen, your books and notebooks, your wallet, it brushed your fingers like some kind of dare, like being offered the pearly gates while also being offered a once-in-a-lifetime deal with the devil.
Thick.
Sleek.
Matte black with embossed gold type. No number. Just a name, and the Atelier’s insignia—abstract, sharp, private.
Once in a lifetime.
You tried not to fixate.
You tried to drown yourself in your work. You were knee-deep in preparations for a tightly curated group exhibition. Your first with partial autonomy, you were already incredibly happy with that, honestly. It was a critical step for someone still building her name in a field ruled by the already known.
It mattered.
This wasn’t just about mere aesthetics of environment or colour, or mediums of arts. It was networking. It was visibility. Being seen and heard. It was just how careers were truly made in the world you are about to step to: whispers in rooms you weren’t invited into, grants given over drinks at rooftop bars, opportunities passed between the hands of men who never looked at your resume, just your potential.
Of course, you were not naïve about it.
You dressed a little more sharper, more red lipstick, it was daring, you figured it didn’t matched your skin tone first, but you’ve gotten used to it. You spoke with more measured control, did some confident pauses here and there, as if you’re dragging every syllable in a perfect, disciplined way.
You offered opinions only when you knew you could defend them, you’re becoming braver, yes, not stupid enough to blabber too much about something you haven’t dive much into yet.
You made yourself smaller and sharper all at once, so you’d take up just enough space to be noticed, but never enough to be a threat, yet, of course, you start competing, not too much to the point where you were digging your own inevitable grave, not too soon. Not yet, not now.
So when an email appeared in your inbox one morning, a short, pristine message marked CONFIDENTIAL… you reread it at least five times.
Subject:
In Conversation: Castillo Atelier + Carnegie Project
From: Assistant to Mr. Castillo
Mr. Castillo would be pleased to host an informal studio tour for select emerging curators.
Your presence was specifically requested. Should your schedule permit, kindly RSVP.
Location details to follow upon confirmation.
You stared at it, stunned. Lips trembling, hands doing the same as well. The words “specifically requested” sent a ripple of heat down your spine, both thrilling and unsettling.
It couldn’t be real.
You even checked the sender’s address for signs of phishing. You triple-checked the logo.
Your fingers hovered above your keyboard. Every rational cell in your body told you not to read into it. It was probably a blanket invite. Someone on his team looking to make nice with the newer generation of tastemakers. Or maybe he was collecting names like he collected canvases… indiscriminately, temporarily, just to see what they looked like in his light and see if he’d like it enough to keep it for a while.
But still. He’d looked at you.
And now… he’d called you closer.
So, you said yes.
It rained the night you arrived.
The car sent to pick you up was black, unbranded, with deep-tinted windows and a silent driver who never once turned his head toward you. It felt like entering another world, one where time slowed and your pulse counted louder than the music, soft jazz filtering from hidden speakers.
The townhouse was located in a discreet pocket of SoHo. Nothing marked it from the street, but the architecture was deliberate. Concrete wrapped in soft shadows, sharp lines softened by the golden glow of interior lights, the hush of money that doesn’t need to announce itself.
You stood under the awning for a beat too long before ringing the bell.
A woman answered the door. Tall. Polished. Unfazed. She greeted you with a neutral elegance and took your coat as though it weighed nothing. Her French accent was smooth, her cheekbones godlike. She handed you a drink in cut crystal, pear liqueur, subtly chilled, and gestured to a gallery lounge deeper inside the space.
You followed her steps like a dream.
She didn’t say his name, and neither did you.
The lounge was… well, transcendent. Quiet in the way sacred spaces are quiet.
Large canvases lined the walls, pieces you didn’t recognize from any public collection—angular, erotic, dangerous in tone and texture. A Calder mobile hung above you, its motion subtle but constant, like breath. The whole room smelled faintly of oil paint, ozone, and something else you couldn’t name. Something warm.
You wandered. You took slow steps, one at a time. You sipped the drink but barely tasted it. Your heart beat in your mouth.
And then… “I didn’t think you’d come.”
His velvety voice broke the silence behind you, dragging down your spine like silk catching on bare naked skin.
You turned before you could prepare yourself.
He was leaning against the doorway, half in shadow, wearing a black shirt with sleeves rolled just enough to bare his forearms, solid, tan, a thin chain catching the dim light against his collarbone.
He was older up close.
Better that way.
Lived-in.
Real.
The kind of man whose presence takes up space long before he speaks.
“I wasn’t sure I would,” you replied, coolly. Or you hoped it was cool. You couldn’t tell if your voice was shaking or just soft. You stepped a little bit closer to appear more confident than you’re supposedly feeling inside, you feel hot and heavy and your spine feels tingly but you continued, still.
“You said yes,” he said.
You nodded. “It was a professional opportunity.”
“Of course,” he murmured, crossing his arms and shifting slightly in his place, fixing his posture for a little, a flicker of amusement in his tone.
“That’s why I invited you.”
You should’ve moved. Should’ve kept the upper hand by walking more into the room, gesturing to the work, launching into critique. But your feet stayed planted. And he stepped inside.
His gaze didn’t roam. It rested. Steady. A heat held in restraint.
“I watched you at the last opening,” he said quietly. “The way you looked at that Tetsuya Ishida piece. You stood there like you were trying not to feel it.”
You blinked, looking away momentarily to try and remain . “Well, I was doing my job.” you said, as if stating the obvious.
“No,” Harry said. “You were trying not to respond. It was written all over your face.”
That stirred something low in you. Unfair, that he could read you like that.
“I’m not here to be read,” you said, softly, shrugging softly as your gaze explored the expanse of the room. “I’m here to read the art.”
Harry stepped a little closer.
Still not touching.
Never touching.
“Then read this,” he said, gesturing to the massive oil piece to your right, unframed, thick with texture, and aching with movement. “Tell me what you see.”
You turned to the painting, hiding the fact that you’re lightly biting your lip to ground yourself. grasping for words, for detachment. But the scent of him was already curling at the edges of your mind. Cedar, leather, something warm and faintly spiced, like bourbon soaked into wood.
The gallery room was quiet, soaked in the hush of dim lights and polished marble, with only one painting commanding the space.
Carnal Repose by Luisa Ferretti, a large, feverish thing of oil and silk and skin. But Harry Castillo wasn’t looking at the painting. He was looking at you.
And even as you began to speak, articulating color theory, emotional narrative, the dialogue between brushstroke and body, you could feel his gaze on you.
Not devouring.
Not invasive.
But attentive in a way you weren’t used to.
Like you were the artwork.
And he wanted to know what it felt like to be inside your skin.
You could feel his eyes, sharp and deliberate, more precise than the tailored lines of his charcoal suit. He stood across from you, relaxed in the way only men who owned too much could be, hands in his pockets, lips curved in the barest hint of something unreadable.
You kept your posture straight, voice steady, clipboard clutched like a shield against the way your body betrayed you.
“It’s one of Ferretti’s final works,” you explained, gesturing toward the canvas without meeting his gaze. “Painted during her time in Florence. The brushwork is chaotic, but deliberate. A visual tension, some say it reflects grief. Others say desire.”
He stepped closer, the sound of his shoes soft on the floor, eyes dragging slowly over the painting before finding you again. “Grief and desire,” he said, his voice low, too smooth. “Funny how easily they get mistaken for each other.”
You didn’t let yourself react. “The drapery clings to the subject’s spine. See there?” you pointed, as if distraction might cool the heat rising in your throat. “It’s a study in restraint. The figure’s tense, like she’s trying not to move. Or trying not to give in.”
“So she’s holding back,” he murmured, now only a foot away from you.
You nodded once. “Trying to.”
His eyes flicked to your mouth. “And failing.”
You swallowed, breath caught behind your ribs. His tone wasn’t loud. It didn’t need to be. It slipped under your skin, nestled there. You kept your gaze forward, not on him.
Not yet.
“It’s compelling because of the control,” you said, voice cooler than you felt. “Because of what’s withheld. That’s what makes the piece intimate—not what’s exposed.”
Harry smiled slightly, tilting his head, like he was measuring you. “That’s exactly what couture is. Power in precision. Knowing what to show… and what to keep hidden.”
He moved closer…so close you could feel the heat from his body across the small space that separated you. Still not touching. But the air felt different now, charged and tight. His voice dipped even lower. “Do you think she liked it?” he asked. “Being seen this way. Tense, composed, but still exposed. Do you think she wanted to be interpreted like this?”
You exhaled carefully. Your voice stayed even. “She knew exactly what she was doing.”
“So do you,” he said.
You turned toward him, your chin lifting slightly, expression unreadable but eyes sharp. You didn’t need to say anything. The tension in your stance spoke for itself. Turning back to the painting, you added, quieter now, “Ferretti believed beauty came from restraint. Not surrender.”
There was a pause. Then Harry’s voice, rich and slow: “Some of us would disagree.”
You stepped away, your heels the only sound in the room. You didn’t look back. You didn’t need to. His eyes were still on you, and the moment hung there, stretched thin and glistening like wet paint.
Whatever this was, it wasn’t over.
It’s only starting.

harry castillo x curator!reader “a million dollar man”
masterlist
introduction — something real
You weren’t supposed to be there.
Not really.
You had been invited, yes—but not by name, not through clout, not through any recognition of your own work apparently. It had been passed along through a colleague you barely even talk to, a senior curator with too many busy events and not enough evenings to spare, who’d sighed and muttered, “Go in my place if you want. It’s just another collectors’ circle jerk.”
And she said it like she wasn’t handing you a rare key to the highest gates of New York’s elite art underworld.
It was an invitation by mere convenience, not design. But still—an invitation.
You told yourself it didn’t matter how you got in, only that you were there. Because this was your year. You could feel it clawing toward you from the dark. You were done being the assistant. The temp. The second voice in the panel, the fourth name in the press release.
You were curating your first major exhibition in the spring—“Myths of the Body”, a sharp, interdisciplinary show on femininity, intimacy, and resistance in contemporary art. It was small, yes, and it didn’t have institutional backing, but at least it was yours. And you needed funders. Partners. Names to put on the poster.
Names that sat in rooms like this one.
So, ultimately, you went. Nervous but polished.
In your sleekest black wool coat, your grandmother’s gold earrings, a minimalist wine red dress that hugged your form without apologizing for it.
Your hair was still damp from the rain when you stepped into the building, you forgot to bring a damn umbrella, too optimistic that the weather may be on your side, obviously it wasn’t; your heels took you in front of the building—a narrow, windowless space in Tribeca, hidden behind an industrial facade like a secret someone rich wanted to keep.
No signage.
No red carpet.
Just a clean black door and a buzzer you had to press like a gamble.
Inside, it was warm and dim, the kind of curated hush that comes not from silence, but from money. From restraint. From discipline. From the knowledge that no one here needed to prove anything.
You stepped into the space like it might bite you.
The gallery was breathtaking in its simplicity—concrete floors that had been polished until they glowed, massive floating canvases, large-scale kinetic sculptures suspended mid-air as if the very laws of gravity were negotiable.
Everything smelled of soft wood, citrus perfume, and candle wax. The crowd was older, dressed in neutrals and subtle silk.
Minimalist jewelry.
Intentional eye contact.
The elite.
You were the youngest person in the room by at least what… decade?
You lingered near a brass tray of drinks, accepted a glass of something expensive and white, and reminded yourself: You belong here. Even if your heart felt like it was trying to crawl out of your chest. Even if the hem of your coat was still damp from the damned rain.
You weren’t famous, yet. You didn’t have patrons. But you were hungry for more. And maybe that counted for something.
You moved slowly, letting your gaze travel from piece to piece, noting curatorial choices, labeling fonts, lighting angles.
You weren’t networking yet—you were strategizing. Watching. Picking out who looked like money, who looked like taste, and who looked like both.
You had just stepped toward a large abstract installation—glass and steel layered like vertebrae—when your attention snagged on someone standing alone, you barely even looked, but the presence felt so heavy you scratched the itch to look.
He didn’t look at you.
Not at first.
He was standing with his back to you, hands behind him, spine straight but relaxed. He was older.
Not old, but seasoned, his presence rooted and gravitational, like someone who knew how to bend a room around himself without saying a single word. He wore a dark coat over a navy turtleneck, tailored charcoal trousers, and heavy black shoes.
Understated, expensive, unbothered.
You didn’t recognize him.
You studied the line of his profile. The almost delicious salt at his temples. The rough edges of stubble and mustache softening a very handsome face.
He tilted his head slightly at the sculpture in front of him, as if he were listening to it speak.
“You don’t like it,” you said, before you could stop yourself.
He turned.
It was the kind of turn that felt deliberate. Like he was offering you something. And when his eyes found yours, you forgot your name for a second.
His gaze was dark, amused. Sharp. He looked at you the way some men looked at paintings they couldn’t quite understand—but desperately wanted to.
“I never said that,” he replied.
His voice was deep. Smooth. A little raspy, but warm—like fire catching slow in the distance.
“You didn’t have to.” You lifted your glass toward the piece. “Its as if your entire body was disappointed.”
That made him laugh—low, rich, unforced. It settled in your stomach, hot and unwelcome, and just— fuck…
“You’re an artist?”
“No,” you said. “A… curator.”
He looked you over, not in a way that made you feel small, but in a way that made you feel seen. As if he were picking apart layers—ambition, edge, nervousness beneath the eyeliner.
“Curating where?”
“The Carnegie Project.” You tried to keep your voice even. “I’m guest-curating a spring show.”
“Ah,” he said softly. “The idealists.”
Your mouth tilted. “And you’re not one?”
“Perhaps something else entirely.”
You didn’t know what that meant. But you were intrigued, in spite of yourself.
He stepped closer, just enough to disrupt the safe little bubble you’d created. Close enough for you to catch his scent—smoke, something leathery and green.
Deliberate.
Expensive.
He looked down at your glass. “Nervous?”
You blinked. “Why would I be?”
He smiled. It was lazy. Knowing. “Because you’re new here. You’re watching everyone else watch you. And you haven’t decided whether you’re supposed to shrink yourself or expand.”
You looked away, the truth of it searing.
“You’re observant.”
“I’m invested,” he said simply.
“In what?”
“In art,” he said. “And people who are trying to make something of it.”
You glanced back up. “And you? What do you make?”
“Trouble,” he said with a glint in his eye. Then: “And opportunity.”
He slipped his hand into his coat pocket and pulled out a black business card—no phone number, no email. Just a name embossed in gold:
Harry Castillo
Castillo Atelier
The moment you read the name, your brain clicked.
Oh.
You didn’t show it. Not yet. But heat began to rise in your chest.
You’d heard of him. Of course. You’d even studied some of his more controversial acquisitions, he was a collector, a curator, a CEO of something fluid and powerful and very well-funded. A man who could make or unmake reputations in the industry with a single acquisition.
People hated him for it. Others adored him. He had the kind of presence you’d think would merely be a myth.
And he’d just handed you his card.
“If you’re ever curious,” he said softly, voice like a velvet drawl. “Or if you get tired of theory and want to play with something real.”
Then—just like that—he turned and walked away.
No goodbye.
No follow-up.
Just vanished, like a man who never questioned whether he’d be remembered.
Of course he will be.
You looked down at the card in your hand.
Your glass was trembling slightly.

♱
You leave like you’ve committed a crime, something unforgivable.
One night, your mama’s stirring soup and asking about job interviews. The next, there’s nothing but a note that says I had to go. Even that’s a lie—you didn’t leave because you had to. You left because staying was the loneliest thing you’d ever done. That house felt like a coffin with curtains. The town was all eyes and whispers and dust that never left your skin. Your dad works too hard overseas for a future you feel like you don’t wan’t anymore.
So you disappear.
Just a drawer emptied. A toothbrush gone. The fridge light blinks like it’s lonely when your mother opens it at midnight, calling your name into the kitchen like it might answer back. You leave your cap and gown on the back of the chair—pressed, still smelling like sweat and lilies. The perfume you wore is clinging to the collar. She keeps it hanging for weeks, like it might walk back in with your shoulders in it.
There’s a switchblade in your worn down boot, a prayer you never meant whispered to the ceiling fan. You take the money you’ve been hiding in a sock since sixteen, shove it into a cracked wallet with stickers from old bands you forgot you loved. One missed call. One unread message. You pack it all in silence, like a sinner making their bed for God.
You don’t have a plan.
You just drive until the mountains start to feel like teeth.
Oregon is quiet in a way you weren’t ready for.
A little wet. A little dead. A little his.
You find him out near Eugene, where the woods swell thick around the road like a throat about to close.
Joel Miller opens the door with a gun in his hand and a look in his eye like he’s been waiting for you in his sleep.
Now he opens the door and stares at you like a ghost.
Like you’re another funeral come early.
He’s older. Meaner. That permanent Texas squint like he’s staring into the sun, even when it’s raining. You remember his voice from that backyard once—soft Southern drawl, wrapped around a beer bottle. You were just a kid then, Sarah still alive and laughing over fireworks, your father and him laughing about something you’re too young to understand.
He hasn’t laughed since.
He doesn’t ask why you’re there. He doesn’t ask your age. He just lets you in.
You stay three nights. You never leave.
The first night, you sleep on his couch.
The second night, you sleep in his bed.
The third night, he fucks you like you’re both being punished in the kitchen table.
It’s not sweet.
It’s not tender.
It’s mouths torn open, fingers gripping hard enough to bruise, a need that’s closer to violence than love. You pull him in by the belt, spit on your palm when he isn’t fast enough, whisper please like a curse against his throat.
He groans when you ride him, low and strangled, like it’s the only thing keeping him human. Like he wants to ruin you just to keep you.
You sleep on his chest after, breathing like you’re afraid to wake up.
There’s a photograph of Sarah in the hallway. You see it once and never again.
The whole house is haunted.
Not by ghosts—by absence.
By the sound of silence where a little girl used to sing along to the radio.
You don’t ask.
He doesn’t offer.
But sometimes, when he touches you, it feels like he’s begging something dead to forgive him.
You both drive.
Through America’s rotten belly. Past strip clubs turned churches. Past boys in trucker hats that whistle when you walk into gas stations. Past women with bad eyes who stare too long and smell the sin on you.
The pickup rattles like bones. The cassette deck is broken and plays nothing but static when you try. You hum instead, let your voice fill the gaps. He never sings. Just grips the wheel like he’s keeping it from slipping into the past.
You fuck in parking lots and roadside motels with cracked mirrors and cigarette burns in the curtains.
You fuck in the backseat while it rains so hard you think the world might flood again.
He pulls your panties aside, lips wet and eyes half lidded and mutters your name like it hurts.
You kiss him until your jaw aches.
You call him sir once.
He nearly stops breathing. His eyes darken.
Sometimes, you wonder if Sarah would hate you.
Would she see what this is?
Would she see the way Joel holds your hips like a lifeline? The way he makes you beg?
The way he growls, That’s it, baby girl, open up for me, like it’s your goddamn name?
Would she know you’re not replacing her—just filling in the silence she left behind?
You think maybe Joel doesn’t even know the difference anymore.
He watches you sketch him with a dull pencil on the back of receipts. You don’t show him the ones where he looks too lonely. You keep those tucked in your book like pressed flowers, like evidence.
He rolls cigarettes he doesn’t smoke. Just feels them between his fingers like muscle memory, like pain he doesn’t want to forget. You light one just to feel something warm in your mouth. The paper burns crooked. You ash it on the map.
“You’ll outlive me at this rate,” you tell him, exhaling.
“Not likely,” he replies. You don’t laugh. Neither does he.
In Missouri, you wake up to him crying into your neck. Quiet, ashamed.
He thinks you’re asleep.
You’re not.
You close your eyes tighter and pretend.
You press your thighs together and ache.
He never says he loves you.
But he touches you like worship. Like desecration.
His hands on your thighs are scripture. His mouth between your legs is a benediction. You bite your fist when he fucks you slow, like he’s unraveling a hymn. You dig your nails into his back and mark him up like territory.
“You’re not gonna leave me, are you?” you ask once, during a thunderstorm.
He doesn’t answer. Just takes your hand and puts it over his chest.
This is yours now, it says. Don’t break it worse than it already is.
You sleep in cheap motels where the neon signs flicker like bad thoughts. He pays in cash. You always take the bed closest to the window, even though you never sleep well.
You press your head to his chest in the middle of the night and whisper, “Do you think my mom thinks I’m dead?”
His breath stutters. “Maybe,” he says, quiet like an apology. “Do you?”
You don’t answer. You just close your eyes and listen to his heartbeat.
Slow. Wrecked. Steady like regret.
You don’t talk about the future. The present is too loud. Too wet. Too feral. Too hot with things you can’t name without blasphemy.
In Alabama, you fuck like you’re punishing each other. Like the world did something wrong and you’re gonna fix it with blood and spit and bruised hips.
You cry after. He watches you in the dark and doesn’t touch you.
Just breathes like he’s drowning again.
In Arizona, you pierce your ear with a safety pin in the rearview mirror. “This is my penance,” you say, more to yourself than to him. He wraps the bleeding edge with a piece of his shirt and doesn’t say anything.
In Oklahoma, a cop pulls you over. You lie. Smile like sugar rotting your teeth. Say you’re his daughter. Say you’re headed to school. He nods, lets you go.
Joel doesn’t talk for hours. When he finally does, it’s just your name. Your real name. Like it tastes bad.
You let him fill you raw. You let him press his lips to your bruises. You let him call you baby girl like it’s the last good word he knows.
You drive through states like you’re shedding skin.
You take photos of each other you’ll never print.
You fuck with the windows down.
You sleep with a knife under your pillow and his arm around your waist.
It’s not safe. It’s not holy. But it’s yours.
He calls you beautiful in the mornings, rough and ragged.
Like a curse. Like a blessing he’s not allowed anymore. You call him Joel like it’s a psalm. Like if you say it enough, he might believe in it again.
He flinches when a teenage girl laughs too loud.
You see it—the way he shuts down, turns away like smoke.
You don’t ask about Sarah. You asked about Tommy once and merely received a grunt.
But their name lives in the silence between every mile. They’re in the way he drives. In the songs he won’t play. In the way he sometimes looks at you and then turns his head too fast.
You think about dying more than you should.
Not in a sad way. Just in a curious one.
Would it hurt? Would it be quiet? Would he care?
You wonder if he thinks about it too.
Once, at a gas station in Georgia, he cups your face and says, “I’d bury the whole damn world if it meant keeping you safe.”
And you believe him.
God help you, you believe him.
You never talk about the future. You don’t dare.
You steal peaches from roadside stands.
You eat gas station pie on the hood of the truck. You kiss until your mouths taste like fire and forgiveness.
People stare at you sometimes—you, too young and wild-eyed, him, all gristle and grief and oil under the fingernails. Like you don’t belong together.
Maybe you don’t. Maybe that’s the point.
You don’t call it love. But it is.
Ugly, feral, holy.
Filling you raw with tears in your eyes and ‘I love you’ is on the edge of your bruised lips but you can’t. You really… just can’t.
There’s a kind of heaven in the rearview mirror.
And it’s burning like the end of a prayer.

mickey barnes x male reader
summary: mickey has just been cloned for the seventeenth time, and he ultimately can't hide his dark, lustfilled eyes whenever he sees you, mickey 17 wants nothing more than to please you.
requested by: anonymous
wc: 1.5k +
notes: MDNI, FDNI, oral sex (r!receiving), ass play, fingering, praising, pathetic!mickey, whimpering reader, thigh kink, cum swallowing (r!swallowing).
You slowly fall back against your bed, bouncing upwards ever so slightly hitting back against it once more as you press your hands over your eyes, submerging you into darkness. The knot in your stomach tightens as your cock soaks your underwear in your sweet tasting pre-cum, aching for a touch, a release that has been forced upon you from a pleasureful experience. You lay there fantasising about your co-working Mickey Barnes, the well-known disposable employee at your workplace. Throughout the workplace, Mickey comes across as quite submissive and pathetic, but you enjoy that about him. You find it so fucking sexy, almost orgasmic. You can imagine him right now, his perfectly chiselled face buried between your legs as he laps up your perfectly tight hole. You slowly slide your hand down your body and into your underwear, getting yourself ready to touch yourself until you're interrupted by a knock at your door. You let out a low grunt under your breath as you slip your hand out of your underwear. You adjust yourself ever so slightly, and you head towards your apartment door, pulling it open and being shocked at who is waiting behind it, "M-Mickey, what are you doing here?" You mumble out in pure shock as you swallow down a large amount of spit that you almost choked on the moment you opened up the door. Mickey smiles nervously as he scratches the back of his neck, "Can I come inside?" He says in his usual nervous tone. You nod your head and step to the side, allowing him to come inside your small apartment that was gifted to you when you took on the job.
You are completely shocked out of your mind that Mickey was here after the pure, smut filled fantasy that you were just about to blow a load over. "What made you stop by?" You ask him in a soft tone, stepping closer and closer to him, shutting the gap that was between the two of you. Mickey's face reddens with a deep blush as you slowly trace your fingers along his shoulder and then up his neck and down his jawline, you watch his eyes soften and he lets out a quiet whimper from your touch. You smirk as you notice how easy he folds for you, "Such a good boy.." You lean closer and mumble in his ear, which causes his eyes to soften even more, and a very obvious bulge begins to appear in his trousers. "Seems like someone is happy to see me." You say in a sultry tone with a cheeky smirk on your face as your hands travel down his body, feeling him until your finally reach what you've been waiting for; his huge fucking bulge. You gently grip at his bulge, causing him to let out a quiet whimper. You lean closer to him again and whisper in his ear, "Mickey... wanna come back to my roo-" but before you can even finish your sentence, Mickey eagerly nods his head with a huge eager smile on his face as he stares at you with his longing eyes wanting nothing more than to give you the best orgasm you've ever head. You take his hand and lead him into your bedroom, and suddenly, you feel Mickey grip at you from behind, and you hear his breath suddenly hitch when he whispers in your ear "I-I want to focus on you... all on you." He mumbles out in a soft tone, and your eyes flutter back as you reach your hand round to gently caress him.
Mickey's hands grip at your oversized t-shirt, and in one swift motion, he pulls it over your head, and he leans down ever so slightly covering the back of your neck and along your shoulder in soft and gentle kisses as you feel his raging boner pressed against your plump ass. Mickey's hands wrap around your waist from behind, and he grips at the hem of your joggers slowly pulling them down. He moves with it, dropping down onto his knees. Mickey slowly flutters his eyes open, and he's face to face with your bare asscheeks. His breath shudders as he reaches up, gripping at your hips as he pushes his face forward, your plump cheeks opening up to allow Mickey's mouth to reach in, his mouth coming into contact with your exposed asshole. Your body jolts, and your eyes widen at the sudden warmth and wet feeling of Mickey's tongue against your hole, "M-Mickey!" You gasp out in pure pleasureful bliss just from the sudden feeling of his tongue slowly lapping up your hole, coating it in his spit giving him the leverage to slip his tongue past your tight muscle ring and into the warmth of your ivory walls as they clamp around his tongue, you laugh out a breathy moan as you feel Mickey smirk around your asscheeks as he flicks his tongue back and forth getting closer and closer to your g-spot. You bite down onto your lower lip to keep you quiet.
Mickey pulls away from your asshole, his tongue slipping out and away from your tight muscle ring, and he looks up at your slightly arched back as you wobble back and forth. He places a gentle kiss on your asscheek before standing back up, "lay down." He mumbles into your ear as you walk over to your bed where you lay down onto your back and you open up your legs to see Mickey pulling his shirt off as he climbs onto the bed, his face inbetween your thighs. Mickey side smiles at you which causes your stomach to flip upside down and become riddled with butterflies, "fuck, he's never looked hotter." You think to yourself as he places a kiss on either side of your thigh until you grip at his hair pulling him down towards your cock where he takes your cock fully inside his mouth causing you to gasp out in pure bliss, "f-fuck!" You mumble out as you slowly fall back entirely and your eyes flutter back. "M-Mhm," you whimper out as Mickey works his head up and down, making sure that his lips are suctioned around your raging hard-on, that is all because of him. Mickey continues to work away at your cock, taking every inch of your cock into his mouth without taking his eyes off of your face that is so obviously full of ecstasy. Mickey's fingers travel up the bed and into his already full mouth as he coats his two fingers in his spit. Once they're covered in his own spit, he brings them down to your already tongue-worked asshole. He gently pushes his fingers against your hole, and without a doubt, your body allowed his fingers into you, "M-MICKEY!" You sharply moan out as you feel his tongue swirl around the tip of your dick as well as his fingers curling up inside your asshole, perfectly hitting your sweet spot that you've been dreaming of having Mickey touch.
You let out a sharp whimper as his fingers directly curl against your sweet spot, and once he hit that once, he continued to hit it over and over again. Mickey milks your sweet spot, which creates a ripple effect as your cock leaks like a facet in his mouth and Mickey is loving every moment of this. You slowly begin to run through his hair, gripping in against it, gently tugging on it, which causes Mickey to throw his head back and show off his extremely sexy smirk. "I love it when you whimper." Mickey mumbles out in a breathy moan as he continues to finger fuck you except with his other free hand that was gripped against your thighs, Mickey now wraps it around your slick wet cock and he slowly begins to pump your cock. "Cum for me baby, p-please cum for me... I've never wanted anything more then to watch you explode a fat load all for me." He says in a clear sultry tone which completely sends you over the edge, "M-Mickey! F-FUCK!" You gasp out in pure orgasmic bliss as with one more swift motion of Mickey's wrist and curl of his fingers, you get sent completely over the edge. The tip of your cock pulsates and your entire cock twitches until you spill your load, completely shooting rockets of cum all over the place. Mickey sticks his tongue out as he pumps the load out of you, "Good boy!" He whispers to you as some of your cum hits his face and lands all over his tongue. Your eyes flutter back as you try to stay focused on him, but the pure blissful delight of the orgasm that Mickey has just given you has caused you to see stars. Mickey climbs up closer to you as you take deep breaths to try and cool down from what just happened. You turn over and look directly at him, and you can't help but smile. You don't even have to say a word to Mickey for him to just pull you against his body. "You're perfect." You mumble out underneath your breath, thinking about all the things you can do together in the near future, but until then, you lay there in his warm embrace listening to the sound of Mickey breathing and hearing his heart beat... for you.

Man in the Mirror
Kinktober Day 19: Voyeurism
Tags: Marc Spector x Reader x Steven Grant, afab!fem!reader, consensual voyeurism, unprotected piv (pls wrap it in real life omg), dirty talk, slight degradation, Steven watches Marc fuck you through a mirror idk what to tell you (w/c: 1K)
A/N: Back with the boys because I love them and I cannot help myself okay!!! And this is consensual, even though Steven doesn't exactly know it at the beginning, he just thinks he's being a perv. But in my fics, everyone is a perv alright! (this month I have been using these prompts from flightlessangelwings!)
Steven knows it’s wrong, God, it’s fucking wrong, but it’s like he can’t stop himself.
There’s something about the way Marc fucks you, the way you scrabble at the bedsheets when the shoves you into a lewd arch, his hand pressing into your back. The way you moan for it, heaving breaths into your lungs. It’s the way Marc talks to you through it, talking to you like you’re the filthy one, like you’re the one who’s desperate for it, even though Steven knows it’s both of you.
“God damn, baby,” Marc snarls, fucking into you hard enough that tears are starting to leak down your cheeks. “You’re fucking sucking me in, sweetheart. Feels good, huh? Getting fucked like you need?”

A/N: Yeah that's right the boys are back in town, and by that I mean all three moonboys. They're all little shits and I adore them (For Kinktober, I've been using this list from flightlessangelwings!)
You think that you’re finally wearing Steven down.
He’s been at this for hours now, you think, burying himself between your thighs and losing himself like he never wants to leave. He’s fucking incessant when he gets you like this, licking at your cunt until his eyes have glazed over and he’s grinding slowly into the bedsheets. He moans when you tug at his hair, the vibrations from it going up your spine.
“Fuck, Steven, I need-” you moan, your chest heaving with the way Steven sucks your clit into his mouth, licking at you in a way that has your eyes rolling to the back of your head. Your hips hump into his face, chasing the sensation. “I can’t, fuck, I’m gonna- think I’m gonna-”
He pulls his face away just like that, watching as you shout, your hips grinding into nothing but air as your pleasure and your orgasm dissipate. He holds your thighs apart and just looks at the way you tremble, his eyes wide and a blush high on his face.

His Bride
Davos Blackwood x Reader
Summary: A short piece about obsession, blood and love. What more do you need?
To be the bride of a Blackwood, you got to have something wrong with you.
To be willingly married to a man so crazy, so devoted and obsessed.

Cregan Stark & Jacaerys Velaryon | House of the Dragon
Think I'm Gonna Call it Off
Description: You have been Prince Aemond's secret for years now, but a certain visiting Stark opens your eyes to what could be.
Inspired by the line “think I’m gonna call it off, even if you call it love, I just wanna love someone who calls me baby.” From Good Luck, Babe by Chappell Roan
This was ridiculous, you are a Lady of a fine house, virtuous, beautiful, intelligent, kind and your embroidery skills have been praised by Queen Alicent herself and yet here you sit waiting for Prince Aemond to return. To return and not spare you a single glance. Not until you are tucked away from the prying eyes of the court, until he is confident no one can hear your conversations.
You wonder if it is foolishness that keeps you sitting there, leaning against one of the many windows in the library, searching the skies for Vhagar’s great form set against the clouds.
