Your lips connect for the first time, your arms wrapping around his neck and tangling in his hair and desperately pulling him closer as if you're afraid that reality will swipe this chance away from you. He groans into your mouth, his hands finding their way to your waist and the center of your back to pull you even closer, just as hungry.

There isn't any penetration other than his fingers, not just yet, Sylus wouldn't want to push a boundary like that so soon. (And tbh who knows if he'd even fit inside you yet haha) You both finish, though, and him all over your chest and stomach, possessive in his urge to claim all of you as his.

He takes such excellent care of you in the afterglow, holding you for a long, long while before lifting your shaky legged body with ease and cradling you against his chest to keep you warm as he takes you to the bathroom to clean up.

As he's wiping you down with a hot washcloth, his movements so careful and gentle and full of affection, he calls you sweetie again. And you finally break, sitting on the side of the tub, hiccupping out weak little sobs as you hide your face in his shoulder.

He takes you back in his arms and carries you to bed, holding you close underneath the covers and wrapping your smaller body up in his own. When you beg him to stay, for him to take you as his instead of letting things go back to the way they were, he promises you he will. He promises you'll never be so alone, not ever again.

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ-

You and Huang Xinghui have been friends since middle school. Basically growing up with each other. He was your first real friend and you both shared a sort of secret relationship that others couldn’t understand.

Though everyone around you kept telling you that Xinghui was in love with you.

The idea seemed ludicrous. Even when it was said to you at your all boys high school. Xinghui not having a girlfriend made perfect sense to you then because what girls would he talk to? You both spent time together so you knew his schedule perfectly.

Class, dorm room, lunch or dinner, and then his piano lessons. That’s about it. So you were a bit confused why the boys at your school kept teasing that he was your boyfriend. Not that there was anything wrong for boys to date… but you and Xinghui?

They were making things up.

Even when you finally graduated and were heading to university, you and Xinghui somehow managed to be dormmates. You were excited at the idea of being with someone you were already so comfortable with. Your mom had something else to say though.

“Just don’t cause too many issues for your next door neighbors. The walls aren’t thick y’know.”

“What do you mean? I make sure to keep my voice down while gaming.” You said as you packed up your gaming console to take to the university. Your back was turned to your mom so you couldn’t see the face she made.

She sighed. “(Name), I mean don’t have sex without taking into consideration your neighbors. I trust you and Xinghui are smarter than that.”

“What–?” You turned to face her, feeling your face warm up. “Who–? Why–? Who would I even be having sex with? I’m a proud virgin!” Your words tumbled out fast as you clutched your gaming console to your chest. “I’m saving it, yknow?”

“Right.” She muttered, raising an eyebrow. “Well my point still stands even if you don’t go all the way.”

“Ma, me and Xinghui are just friends.”

“Sure.” She patted your shoulder before continuing on with helping you pack.

“Isn’t it weird? My mom thought we were dating!” You sat down on the small couch in the center of the room. It was a semi large one. Xinghui’s bed was pressed against the back wall, his desk right beside it in front of the large window. While your bed was on the left wall—a high rise bed with your desk underneath it.

All things considered the room was a great size for the both of you.

Xinghui broke down one of the boxes he used to hold some of his things. The couch was facing the wall across from his bed so you couldn’t see his face. He didn’t respond at first. You were about to repeat yourself thinking he didn’t hear you when he finally did.

“My parents think so too.”

“What? Well what did you tell them?” You turned back to face him, watching as he placed the deconstructed box underneath his bed. His back still facing you.

“Mhm.” Was he said. You frowned and watched as he continued unpacking. Xinghui was a man of few words anyway so you weren’t too shocked whenever he didn’t answer a question of yours. You usually figured out what he meant by yourself anyway.

Huang Xinghui was a handsome guy but his personality of keeping silent when spoken to made him a bit hard to build relationships with. He had ‘cold’ eyes according to everyone else but you thought his eyes were quite lively. They spoke for him most of the time. Through his eyes you’d understand exactly what he was feeling or thinking.

So he had gotten into the habit of looking away.

You watched Xinghui continue unpacking–taking in his newish style. Now that you both didn’t need to wear uniforms anymore, you’d get to see him in regular clothing at school. He had a darker aesthetic. The only bright part about him was the small section of dyed blond hair from his bangs.

“What do you want for dinner?” Xinghui plugged in his phone to charge before finally turning over to face you. His face was neutral. When you looked him in the eye, you knew you missed your chance to read what he was feeling earlier.

A huff left you. Cheeky bastard.

“There’s a popular chicken place nearby. I heard they make great fried chicken.” You grinned. “It’s Saturday tomorrow so…” you wiggled your eyebrows, letting your words trail off.

Xinghui only shook his head.

After about two beers and an entire box of chicken fully devoured, you were stuffed. The laptop in front of you on the coffee table was playing some random movie you don’t remember choosing. It looked to be a horror movie though. You yawned and stretched out on the couch, almost slipping off.

Others would find eating chicken and drinking beer without talking, only the movie being the source of sound, to be uncomfortable. But you were used to sitting with your thoughts when it came to Xinghui. It was usually without any type of noise half the time.

So movies were welcomed.

You glanced over at Xinghui, wanting to ask if he remembered what movie this was when you noticed he was already staring at you. “Xinghui?” You blink and give him a slight smile. He was holding another beer in his hand but it was beginning to slip from his grasp. How many did he drink?

“Xinghui?” You reached over and grabbed the near empty bottle. When placing it with the other finished beer bottles, you realized there were over four other bottles next to your two. Your eyes widened slightly but you shook your head. It wasn’t the strangest thing–sometimes Xinghui drinks more than you.

A lot more.

Five in one night seemed excessive. You looked back at him only to flinch. He was closer, much closer. His nose brushed against yours and you couldn’t help but giggle at first. You blinked excessively at his long overgrown bangs teasing your cheeks. His breath smelled exactly like the cheap beer he bought.

“You ok?” You asked, raising an eyebrow.

Xinghui hummed. “After two beers, you fell asleep for a few minutes.” He said.

“I did?” You tried thinking back but couldn’t really remember that. You were a lightweight but you didn’t think you were that much of a lightweight. “Sorry, I think the whole moving in tired me out.” You yawned.

“Mhm.”

“Let’s just head to bed, we can clean up in the morning.” You said, glancing at the mess on the coffee table. It wasn’t much but with you being so sleepy it felt like a whole mountain of work.

“(Name).”

“Hm?”

“I wanna kiss you.”

“What–?”

Suddenly you felt lips pressed against yours.

Huang Xinghui liked you.

For a while now apparently. Everyone was right. Perhaps you were the only one who was dumb enough to not realize it. But was it that strange to believe that your friend since forever was just that? A friend?

He had kissed you.

Three weeks ago.

And everything has been awkward ever since. For the first time in your life, Xinghui was avoiding you. That kiss changed everything. You remember not even kissing him back. Just staring straight at him—trying to understand what was happening.

When he pulled away and walked to his bedroom. Slamming the door shut.

The next day you tried to talk to him like normal but he ignored you. Pointedly so. Then he started making sure he practically never came across you. It was a feat. You wondered how he managed to never be home when you were home. Making sure you never crossed paths on campus.

You were miserable.

University wasn’t supposed to push you and Xinghui apart. It wasn’t like you even refused him. Even if you didn’t see him that way. He was a part of your life and you could never imagine one without him. You didn’t even have any other friends beside him.

Something your mom had constantly criticized. You always pushed those critiques away. Now you realized why she had them. You were essentially all alone without Xinghui. It was lonely.

Almost four weeks passed when you decided you couldn’t take it anymore.

Luckily you knew Xinghui’s schedule. He had told you before classes started. So in an effort to save your (only) friendship—you skipped class and waited outside his first class of the day. Ancient Chinese medicine.

A few minutes passed before Xinghui left the classroom, head down as he scrolled on his phone. You quickly jumped up from your waiting spot against the wall and sprinted over to him. Xinghui didn’t look up at first. His eyes narrowing at his phone before he seemed to finally feel your presence.

His eyes flickered over to you.

He quickly sprinted away without a word.

“Bastard.” You cursed to yourself as you followed after him. Xinghui was heading to his next class. Chemistry if you remember correctly. He was already sitting at a spot in the back of the room, right near the window. You entered the classroom without any hesitation and plopped down beside him.

“You can’t sit here.” Xinghui simply said.

“Why not?”

“It’s his seat.”

You glanced over to see a student walking over with a confused expression.

“Uh, are you a new student?” The guy asked. “This is my seat.”

“No,” you reached over and grabbed Xinghui’s arm, tugging him close to you. Xinghui stared at you with a shocked expression. “I’m trying to make things right with my friend but he’s been ignoring me. So I’m following him everywhere until he notices me.”

“Oh…”

“Can you cheer me on, Ge?” You pouted. Xinghui tried pulling his hand free but you only tightened your grip, resting your head on his shoulder.

The guy only shook his head. “It’s too early for this… good luck,” he sat down in the empty chair beside you.

You gave him a grateful smile before turning your attention to Xinghui. He was looking straight ahead. Jaw tightened. He tried once more to tug his hand free but you tightened your octopus-like grip on him.

“What do you want for dinner? We haven’t had dinner together in a while.” You asked.

He didn’t respond. Even as class went on, the professor seemingly paid you no mind—Xinghui’s jaw was tense the entire time. His gaze straight ahead. Fingers gripping tightly on his pen as he took notes.

Class ended. Xinghui made another attempt to pull his arm free that was met with resistance once again.

People began to file out of the classroom. You knew Xinghui didn’t have any more classes after this so he wasn’t in a rush to get anywhere. Xinghui didn’t move a second until the classroom was completely empty. He turned to face you.

His expression almost made you flinch. Never in your entire life had he ever looked at you like this. With such… anger. Contempt even. Why was he so angry? It wasn’t like you did anything.

“Are you finding this funny?” He whispered. His free hand reached over and grabbed your hand, squeezing it tightly. The pain caused you to wince and unintentionally release his arm. He pulled himself free and quickly stood up.

You stood up as well. “Funny? Nothing is funny right now, Xinghui. I’m confused about what happened to us.”

“Why are you confused? I confessed. You rejected me. There’s nothing else left to say.”

“So that means you’re going to throw away our friendship?”

“(Name), how dumb are you?”

You bristled at his tone.

“I never viewed you as a friend.” Xinghui’s words shook you to your core. But he continued on. “I loved you. And if you don’t want to date me, then why should I hurt myself and force a friendship I don’t care about?”

“Don’t… care about?”

Xinghui simply scoffed. “Once the lease is over, I’ll move out. You should make sure you find a roommate before then.”

Move out?

He’s going to leave you.

Permanently?

Xinghui grabbed his bag and moved to walk away but you quickly grabbed his arm. He tried tugging himself free. “What—?”

“No way! I don’t want you to ever leave my life.”

“Are you insane? Just how selfish are you to force me to still be your friend when I said I don’t want to be.”

Your lips pulled into a thin line. “If that’s selfish, then I don’t care. You can be selfish too in return.”

“How—?”

“You can ask for anything from me. Anything you want, I can’t refuse. Just…” your throat felt tight. Eyes beginning to burn. “Just continue being my friend. Please.”

It was quiet for a moment.

“Anything?” He whispered.

“Mhm.”

Xinghui stared at you. His eyes unreadable. It wasn’t an expression that you had seen before. He didn’t feel like your friend anymore.

“I wanna fuck you.”

There was no reason for why you were still a virgin. You never really dated. Never seeing the point. Xinghui was all you really needed. He was always there so you never saw the purpose in pursuing any connection outside of him.

Maybe that’s why you allowed for this to happen.

The reason why you would do anything to keep Xinghui in your life.

Why you were currently bent over the couch, getting fucked by Xinghui. There was no build up. No easing you into anything. You both walked home without saying a thing. The only sound being the door closing shut behind you. Xinghui had pushed you into the couch, pulling your pants down, and spitting into his hand.

He was nice enough to finger you open. It burned. Not a pleasant feeling really. He didn’t waste a moment before pushing inside of you. Officially taking your virginity. You squeezed your eyes shut, gripping tightly at the couch cushion as his hips slammed forward against your ass.

His cock stretched you full. Nothing in common with his fingers. It hardly prepared you for how big he was. You could feel his cock against your warm walls. The drag of his cock as he kept a fast consistent pace. He didn’t say a word.

It almost felt clinical.

But even then, you were a little glad he was your first. At least it went to someone you cared for. Just as fast as it started—it was over. Xinghui pulled out. Warm sticky cum dripped onto your lower back.

The sound of a zipper and rustling of jeans. That’s all you heard before footsteps pattering down the hallway.

You were all alone.

Everything went back to normal.

Or at least, you pretend it did. The next day Xinghui was in the kitchen. He almost looked shocked to see you. His eyes watching your every move. It felt like he was expecting you to be angry or something.

But why would you be?

You smiled at him, “did you eat breakfast yet? I’m gonna scramble some eggs.” He only stared at you as if you had grown two heads.

Things continued on like nothing even happened. Only for you though. You spoke to Xinghui as if the whole situation never happened. Not even that you had moved passed it. Xinghui, however, was struggling to do the same. You could tell.

He wasn’t normal like usual. His posture tense whenever you touched him. As if you were going to hit him. Which confused you. Why would you ever hurt him? Almost a month passed like this. You interacting with him like normal. While Xinghui grew confused by the day.

But it seemed he had a breaking point.

Your mom had stopped by to drop off some food. She could tell something was wrong.

“Are you… two okay?” She asked, just as she was ready to leave. Her eyes flickering between the both of you. “I know living together can raise problems but I hope you talk things out.” Her gaze pointedly turned to Xinghui.

“Mhm? We’re good! Great even.” You laughed, waving your mom’s worries off like it was unfounded. She hesitated but soon nodded her head. Deciding there was no purpose in prying. You waved her goodbye and closed the door behind her.

“We’re good?” Xinghui suddenly spoke.

You looked back at him. “Hm?”

“We’re ‘good?’ What are you talking about? We haven’t been good in almost three months.”

“What do you mean?”

“What—? (Name), haven’t you noticed the tension between us?” His eyes were wide. Perhaps the first time in awhile that you could see emotions in them that weren’t confusion. It was filled with hurt. “I… I took something from you in anger. I hurt you on purpose because I wanted to get back at you for rejecting me. Why haven’t you noticed that?”

You blinked.

A small smile formed on your lips. “Why are you acting like I didn’t know that?”

“Huh?”

You stepped forward. Hands reaching out as you grabbed Xinghui’s. His hands were bigger than yours. It had been forever since you touched him. A giddy laugh left you. “I know you did that to hurt me.” You looked up at him. “I don’t care. I asked for it. I wanted it. Anything to keep you with me.”

Xinghui stared at you. Really stared at you. He looked as if he was trying to comprehend what you were saying. Realizing just… how devoted you were to this ‘friendship’ with him. “They were right.” He whispered to himself.

“Who?”

He shook his head, “you want me in your life?”

“Yes.”

“Only me?”

“….yes.” You squeezed his hands. “No one else matters. No one can ever compare to you.”

Xinghui freed his hands. He reached over and gripped the back of your neck, fingers digging into your skin as he tugged you forward. “Then I can do whatever I want?”

“Mhm,” you let out a breathy laugh, lips parting into a smile. “Please. Anything to keep you in my life.”

A pained expression flickered on Xinghui’s face but it was gone before you could question it. He pulled you forward and captured your lips into a sneering kiss. It was the first time he’s kissed since that night.

This one was different. While the one that night was soft, almost nervous—this one was hungry. Xinghui knew what he wanted. And what he wanted was you.

You being his.

His free hand gripped pants, popping the button open. He pushed you back against the door. Your body banging against it from the force. Pain briefly shot through your back but his kiss distracted you from verbally out any pain. You struggled on what to do with your hands. They pressed against the door before you hesitantly reached out and placed them on Xinghui’s shoulders.

He swallowed every moan and whimper you let out into the kiss. His hand slipped into your boxers, grabbing a handful of your ass. Everything felt… different this time. It didn’t feel mechanical. This time you could really feel the hungry Xinghui felt for you.

He kissed you like he wanted to eat you. Your back arched off the door, eyes squeezing shut as you felt fingers tease your asshole. They were dry and unable to push in due to resistance. You finally pulled away from the kiss—needing to breathe.

You buried your face into Xinghui’s shoulders. Legs twitching. Xinghui didn’t say much. But that didn’t shock you. He was never much of a talker. The sound of him spitting caused you to flinch. Newly wet fingers pressed against your hole once more.

Like before he didn’t waste a second before slipping in two fingers. The stretch earned a pained gasp from you. However he was more gentle this time. His fingers slowly stretching you. Properly preparing you. A graze against a certain area caused you to moan. Pleasure shooting through your veins.

“What was that…?” You muttered into his shoulder. Xinghui didn’t answer. His free hand tightened its grip on your waist, stabilizing you.

He continued to stretch you. Occasionally brushing against the little spot that made you whimper. Your toes curled. Hands gripping tightly at his shoulders. Your cock dripped pre-cum onto the ground.

That was different as well.

Your body was actually reacting this time around.

Xinghui suddenly flipped you around, pressing your face right into the door. One hand held the back of your head while the other gripped your waist. You shuddered at his forcefulness. Hands uselessly gripping at the door.

“Are you going to wear a condom this time?” You whispered.

“Why should I? I’ll be the only man who gets to fuck you anyway.”

You didn’t know why your cock twitched at his words.

Xinghui wasn’t slow. Perhaps deciding he was kind enough to properly stretch you out. He thrust his cock inside of you without warning. A loud cry leaving you at the sudden action. His hand tightened its grip on your waist to keep you still.

His hips slammed into your ass. The sound of skin slapping together filled the hallway. Short quick moans left you in tandem with his thrusts. Your eyes were threatening to roll back. It was hard for you to even keep your body up.

If Xinghui wasn’t holding you up, you were sure you would’ve fallen down by now.

Only a second later and you felt your stomach tighten. A pain whimper leaving you as you came. Cum dripped onto the floor but Xinghui didn’t let up. In fact you felt as if his thrusts had gotten faster. More brutal.

“Xinghui, s…slow down.” You reached back to grab his hand on your waist. But he only picked up the pace. The silence you got in return made you whimper in response. He was chasing his own release. Uncaring of the overstimulation he was causing you.

It felt like forever. His thrusts pushing you further into the door. Neighbors would certainly complain about the noise in the morning. Your moans were louder as well. Cock hard once more, ready to cum again.

Another particularly hard thrust, he pulled your hips back, ass flushed against his hips—cum releasing inside you. Your legs twitched. Fingers pressed against the door as your cock came again as well. More watery than the first orgasm. Hot cum filled you inside. It felt gross but also oddly comforting.

Xinghui was really a part of you. Deep inside.

You sighed. At least now you could go relax and take a shower. You tried pushing yourself off the door when Xinghui forced you back against it. His body pressed against your own. Lips brushing against the tip of your ear.

“You want me to stay with you forever, yea?” He whispered.

“Yes…”

Hands slowly reached underneath your shirt. His hands felt hot against your skin. Gripping possessively at your body.

“Then I’ll need to have access to you.”

“Access?”

“Yes.” He shifted his hips. The drag of his cock against your sensitive walls earned a small gasp from you. “I’ll continue being your friend…. And you’ll let me fuck you whenever I want. Can you handle that?”

You glanced back at him. Eyes wide.

A smile formed on your lips.

“Yea, I can handle it.”

Xinghui was always told by others that you had a weird obsession over him. He didn’t see it. At least it didn’t really bother him back then. It didn’t seem serious. You just didn’t have any other friends and well neither did he really. None of them compared to you.

He had fallen for you but he knew deep down you didn’t feel the same.

But he was over it that night. He couldn’t take it anymore and just kissed you. When he pulled away he didn’t expect the look you had given him. One completely devoid of any emotion.

Just… blank.

Like you couldn’t even comprehend what he had just done. Like he genuinely ruined you. He hadn’t realized just how attached you were to him as a friend.

It angered him.

When it really should’ve worried him that you were this devoted to him. In a messed up way he wished your devotion was out of love. Not friendship.

He tried pushing you away. Even went as far as to take your virginity, believing you’d snap and kick him out. But you didn’t. You just… pretended everything was fine.

And in a way he tried to do the same but when you had lied to your mother he snapped. When presented with the reality that you were genuinely not okay. That your friendship with him had seemed to mess with your psyche—he should’ve nipped it in the bud. Should’ve called your mom and insist she take you to therapy… something.

He was happy to keep you as his.

With time he could always get you to fall in love with him.

You both only wanted the other even if the way you wanted each other wasn’t equal.

It was only you and him.

And it was going to stay that way.

Even with his position and the duties that came along with it, there would be some afternoons from time to time where Sylus was able to take it easy. To lounge around the expanse of his darkly-decorated home, or do whatever else he pleased. However, she was currently staying with him as a semi-reluctant houseguest while he helped her in a still-shaky alliance to complete her business in the N109 zone. As such, she was gracing him with her presence on a rare free Friday, tapping away on a tablet doing research as he sat with her doing maintenance to some of his choice weapons.

While their first meeting was lukewarm at best (and hostile at worst), they’ve achieved a sort of friendly dynamic over the time that they’ve been acquainted with one another. She reacts positively to his teasing quips these days, and responds with a witty jab or two in return. It's great, and he can say now that he thoroughly enjoys spending time with her. He likes to think that she reciprocates the feeling as well.

So, sitting in silence while she does her thing can be a bit boring. Especially when he’s free to have some fun with her.

He breaks the comfortable silence with a question. “When will you be done with that?” She looks up. “The weather today is less volatile than usual. Perfect for a joyride around the city.”

She scoffs, and goes back to looking at her tablet. “Sorry, this is urgent.”

Sylus wouldn’t admit it, but her response makes him pout. Just a little. “You’re no fun.”

She sighs. “I still have a job to do, Sylus. I’m sorry for not living up to your expectations.”

“None of that. I just thought we could go on a little date,” Sylus says, but his tone turns serious as he switches to a more mature, assuring tone. He won’t have her feeling insecure. “I understand that you take your work seriously, and that’s very admirable. I love quality time with you, sweetie, so I just had to ask.”

She flushes a pretty shade of pink. He continues, “Even if I didn't know you, my beloved often spoke highly of you during the early days of our relationship.”

He stares at her, a soft and gentle expression on his face. Like he didn't just drop a huge, unexpected piece of personal information. Her mouth gapes open like a fish.

“Your—”

“I used to get quite jealous before I knew he was talking about you,” he chuckles. “I definitely understand him better now.”

“I'm sorry, who is your ‘beloved’?”

He pauses. Then, a sinister smile grows on his face as he realizes. “Oh. What a conniving man. He hasn’t told you about me?” He puts the pistol that he was polishing down onto the coffee table in front of him and crosses his arms as he leans back into the black leather couch. “No wonder you hadn’t mentioned him to me before. I’d hate to ruin whatever attempt he is making on you, kitten. But if you must know, it’s your primary care physician.”

She pauses. Another bomb dropped. Her eyes widen as she slowly processes his words.

“Zayne?” That’s incomprehensible.

“What other doctors do you have?”

“Zayne?!” She has to ask again, in case she's not getting it right. “Chief Surgeon at Akso Hospital? Ice Evol? Has a sweet tooth?”

“I feel like you shouldn’t be surprised as you are, sweetie. You and him weren’t in contact for a long while before he was appointed as your doctor.”

“I mean, yeah, but…” She scratches her head, trying to put her confusion into words. “What are the chances that he’s… romantically involved with the leader of Onychinus?”

“High, apparently,” Sylus shrugs, all too nonchalant for her liking. “Though our initial meeting was very circumstantial. I like to say that it was fate, though he may argue otherwise.”

She’s speechless from the shock. Sitting in the arm chair, the dots in her head slowly start to connect. Sylus can literally see the gears in her head turning as she looks back at him when another question forms in her mind.

“Go on,” he says. “Spit it out before I make you.”

“Don’t you think both of you are a little too… flirtatious as people who are supposedly in a relationship with one another?”

Sylus balks at the question, and it turns into a full body laugh. This was far more entertaining than he had anticipated.

“It’s you, kitten,” Sylus rolls his eyes. “If only you’d remember— ” (Remember what, exactly? He can hear her say it so clearly in his head.) “—you’d understand that both Zayne and I would make an exception to our exclusivity with you in particular, no questions asked.”

She gulps.

“This is all very shocking to you, I’m sure,” Sylus smiles, taking in her surprised expression. She shakes her head like she’s saying tell me about it. He takes his phone out of his pocket, “Well, now that you’re clearly done doing research for today, I think it’s time to play.” He taps a button and the sound of a ring dial fills the room.

“No. You’re not calling—”

“Sylus.” The soft baritone of Zayne’s voice on speaker puts a wolfish grin on Sylus’ face. “You know how many surgeries I have scheduled for today. Please tell me it’s important.”

“Indeed, darling,” he purrs into the receiver, and he says the pet name with so much affection that Sylus can see her shiver. “I just happened to hear from a little bird that I’m being hidden like an incompetent wife while my husband tries to get a mistress.”

“...” The silence on the other side of the line is deafening.

“I’m not hiding you from her, Sy,” Zayne finally says, gently, with a kind of sweetness that rarely comes out of him. “Don’t you think it’s a bit scandalous to tell a Hunter, a very high-profile one at that, that my husband is an organized crime leader?”

“What? So you don’t trust me?!” she blurts out. What can she say? She’s a bit irked. “Wait. Husband?!”

“Oh.” Zayne says. “You were listening.”

Sylus sighs, taking control of the conversation once more, “I think the two of us feel quite scorned at the moment.”

“I’m sorry. That’s not my intention.”

“I understand, darling. Regardless, some groveling is in order for you. I know you'll be finished with your scheduled surgeries at 8. I expect to see you here no later than 9:30 so we can have you for the weekend.”

“When did you two meet?”

“Around the time he started his residency.”

“Did he know you were… a mafia boss?”

“I would say that the circumstances of how we met made it impossible for him to not know.”

“Meaning?”

“It was before I was able to refine my Evol. He found me bleeding in an alley in Linkon after a deal went sour.”

“How cliché. He patched you up?”

“He did.”

“... You’re gay?”

“I’m not picky with gender. I’m obviously not exclusively into men,” At that, Sylus rakes his eyes over her body. She clenches her thighs together. 

When she doesn’t continue her prodding, he gestures at her plate with the knife in his hand. “Your food is getting cold, kitten. The chef worked hard to make it for you.” 

She bites her lip, poking at the hardly-eaten steak. “I’m just really curious about the two of you. You guys are such polar opposites.”

“Opposites attract, do they not?”

“When did you guys get married?”

“Four years ago?” Sylus tilts his head. “But it wasn’t official, legally speaking. We had a vow exchange.”

“That’s… actually really cu—”

She’s cut off by the doors to the dining room opening to reveal Luke and Kieran, with the man of the hour in tow. Zayne looks disheveled, as if the twins had upheaved him straight from the operation room. They probably did.

“Welcome home, dear,” Sylus smiles as Zayne makes his way to his seat. The twins make themselves at home on the other end of the table, wordlessly grabbing dinner from the serving plates. Once they’re all settled, the silver-haired man grabs a bottle of wine to pour into his husband’s glass.

“The twins have better things to do than to act as chauffeurs. I’m perfectly capable of making my way home by myself,” Zayne argues, but picks the glass up to swirl it anyway.

“Yet you haven’t been home in weeks. I had half a mind to come get you myself, but as you can see, I was preoccupied with entertaining our special little guest.”

He takes a sip, directing the conversation to her now. “I was going to tell you after we had gotten a bit more reacquainted with one another.”

“What’s your definition of getting ‘reacquainted’ with her? A hand up her skirt?” 

“Sy,” Zayne starts. “Don’t be so vulgar.”

Sylus huffs in his seat.

Watching their conversation unfold, she only had one thought. They bicker like an old married couple. A very attractive old married couple. It makes her smile in amusement. Her heart feels warm from both the wine and the realization of her blooming relationship between the two men. She can admit that she doesn’t oppose its recent developments.

“Stop it, you guys!” she says, grabbing both of their attention. “I’m not done yet with my interrogation. Now that everyone is here, I have about 50 new questions to ask.”

“You sent her to bed,” Zayne states later that night as he stands by the edge of their bed, taking off his shirt.

“Do you think that she’d be ready for this right now?” Sylus asks from his position sprawled on top of the duvet, freshly showered and naked save for a black bathrobe. “She’d collapse on the spot, I think. She’ll remember and learn in due time, dear. We’ve got all the time in the world.”

“In this one we do, yes,” Zayne nods, finally undressed to just his underwear. He gets onto the bed and kneels above Sylus, boxing the taller man’s legs in between his and settling onto his lap. Sylus’ hands are on him immediately, thumbs tracing circles around Zayne’s hips.

“Or did you only have interest in doing this if she was around?”

“Sy, drop it. You told her. She’s fine with it. What else do you want me to do?” 

Sylus looks away. He’ll proclaim his affection any time, yet he still finds it challenging to be vulnerable. “It’s just been far too long since I’ve touched you, beloved,” he manages to muster, void of the bite in his tone that Zayne expected.

He watches as Zayne’s brows furrow. The man leans down until their foreheads are touching, and Sylus finds small comfort in sharing the same air with him again after a while.

The doctor’s voice drops to a whisper. “Are you upset because you thought I was too ashamed to tell her about us?”

He always sees right through him. “And if I said I was?” 

“Then I’d reassure you and tell you that it’s not the case,” Zayne says without missing a beat. “Far from it.”

Zayne’s hands start to travel from either side of Sylus’ neck down to his bare chest, continuing before Sylus could reply. “Like I said on the phone, I wasn’t sure what she’d be like this time around. How she’d take that information without meeting you first. I hadn’t spoken to her since we were children.”

Sylus gasps quietly when a cold thumb brushes over his nipple. “Do you really think I would take a single risk and endanger my husband?”

“Your husband can handle any danger thrown at him. I don’t need your protection.”

“You’re a capable fighter and can heal yourself now,” Zayne agrees. “But you still need your doctor. Don’t you, my love?”

With that, Sylus finally acquiesces. “Always,” he admits. 

The kiss they share is passionate right off the bat. It’s always like this when they’re apart from one another for too long. Sylus bites into Zayne’s lower lip, causing him to gasp into his mouth. The younger man ducks even lower to take a swipe at Sylus’ teeth with his tongue, groaning when Sylus’ thumbs hook into the band of his underwear.

Zayne heaves loudly as they separate, a trail of saliva following suit as he pulls the ribbon of Sylus’ bathrobe, taking it apart in one smooth motion, revealing his already-leaking cock, flushed and angry.

A hungry look descends upon the doctor’s face at the sight, and he holds his lover’s eye contact when he says, “I need you too. You know that, right?”

Those pretty ruby reds hold his gaze as its owner pulls Zayne’s underwear down, causing his cock to bounce up and hit his stomach. Sylus allows himself to look down over the expanse of Zayne’s body; he could never get tired at how absolutely breathtaking he is. He doesn’t reply.

Once the garment was finally off and kicked elsewhere. Zayne settles back on top of him and repeats, “Tell me you know, Sy.”

“I know, darling.”

“Good,” he says, as he starts to grind against Sylus’ bare skin with his, setting a slow, torturous pace. “I’d hate it if my husband thought I didn’t need him. He takes such good care of me. Always making sure I want for nothing. Always giving me the space I need to pursue my career. Always there for me when I need to fall back on him. Always fucks me so well. Lets me fuck him so well.”

“Sweetheart,” Sylus chokes.

“What would I do without you?” Zayne sighs. “God, Sy, you’re leaking so much. Getting me so wet.”

“It’s hard not to when you’re speaking to me like this,” Sylus moans, “I want to be good to you all the time.”

“And you are,” he reaches down, to line Sylus’ cock to his hole. “During times like these, I am very grateful for the privacy screen of Luke and Kieran’s car.”

“Y—you prepped yourself on the drive?”

“I haven’t been able to see you for three weeks. I wasn’t going to waste any time.”

“My husband never fails to surprise me,” is the last thing Sylus is able to say before Zayne sinks himself down on the entirety of his cock. It pulls out a moan from both of them.

The pair pauses, giving themselves a moment to get used to the feeling again, though there is only so much that they can actually get reacclimated with. Sylus’ grip on Zayne’s waist is hard enough to cause bruises, and the crescent moons of Zayne’s nails were sure to leave its mark on Sylus’ broad shoulders. The air between them gets denser as Sylus adjusts himself to sit up high enough so that their foreheads are pressed against one another again.

“Darling, I love you.”

They didn’t have rings to show their union or commitment, the jewelry simply being too impractical for both of their lines of profession, but the two felt the weight in their hearts all the same.

“And I you, my love,” Zayne lets out in a shaky voice. Crying out softly when he unintentionally shifts and causes the tip of Sylus’ cock to rub against thatspot. “You’re so big. I don’t think I could ever get used to it.”

With that, Zayne begins to set a languid pace, throwing his head back in pleasure as it really starts to get going. The slick noise of sweaty skin sliding against each other filling the room, whimpers and groans slowly building as Zayne steadily speeds up.

“T-tight,” Sylus gasps. “You’re always so fucking tight.”

“You n-never want to prepare me well enough to get loose.”

“You like the pain.”

“I do,” Zayne nods, and Sylus watches as the man above him loses himself in ecstasy. Knowing that she’s sleeping a few doors down, he briefly thanks whatever entity is out there for the blessings given to him. 

He can’t get enough of the expression his husband has in the heat of the moment. Sweat beading down his face, eyes closed. Mouth slightly ajar, and hair mussed. His toned abdomen and the way the muscles move as he fucks himself on Sylus’ cock. It only takes a few minutes before Sylus feels the ferocious need to take control of the situation, using his grip to halt Zayne’s movements.

“Sy, what—“ He uses his leverage to pull himself out of Zayne, all the way to the tip of his cock, only to slam it all the way back in, and the scream that comes out of Zayne makes Sylus’ ears ring. “Fuck! Sylus! Just like that!”

“Shh, shh,” Sylus coos, in between heavy breaths. “Th-the walls are thick, but not that thick. You’ll wake the whole house up, sweetheart.” The warning makes Zayne backhand him square across the face, and Sylus chokes out a broken laugh.

“A-as if I could care about that right now,” Zayne moans, the sound of Sylus’ thighs slapping against Zayne’s ass as he fucks him like his life depends on it dampening the sudden motion. Sylus makes an adjustment, so his cock rubs up against Zayne’s prostate at every thrust.

“Oh god, god— I’m so close,” Zayne cries, taking ahold of his own cock and stroking it in time with Sylus' movements.

Sylus gasps, the pain in his cheek beginning to throb in sync with his heartbeat. “M-me too, darling.”

“You’re gonna fill me up, won’t you, Sy?” Zayne leans in until his breath skirts Sylus’ ear. “Be-because you’re so good to me. Fuck, I’m coming, Sy—“

He lets out a final shout as he coats both of them in his spend, breathing reducing to soft whimpers as his legs begin to shake and give out when Sylus still continues to fuck into him, thrusts becoming more and more erratic and out of rhythm, until he finally lets go.

“I-I’m—” Sylus cuts himself off with a loud groan, giving a final decisive push as the white hot pleasure overcomes him, emptying himself to the last drop into Zayne’s hole. 

Zayne falls to Sylus’ side, the two of them staring up at the ornate ceiling of their home as they take a moment to bring themselves back down from the high.

It’s not long, though, until Sylus rolls himself over and on top of Zayne, grabbing the back of one of his knees to prop it up against his shoulder and using his other hand to stroke himself back to hardness.

“You won’t be leaving the bed much this weekend, my beloved,” Sylus warns, and Zayne can only sigh peacefully in anticipation.

She stares at them the next morning over breakfast with a knowing look on her face. Her expression increasingly becomes more horrified as she notices even more bruises and marks across the expanse of both the mens’ skins.

Sylus says what’s on everyone’s mind. “You’re welcome to join us if you like, kitten.”

She swallows.

“I-I’ll think about it.”

“Not too hard,” Zayne says, with a gentle smile.

Which is how you find yourself buried under his comforter, your face pressed into his balled-up shirt as you grind helplessly against your hand. The squelching sounds coming from beneath your underwear from your clumsy motions only work you up further, intensifying the insistent pull between your thighs.

You try your best to replicate the way Sylus effortlessly works your pussy with the deft, elegant movements of his huge fingers, but it's no use. Your fingers are just too small to reach the right spots and not quick enough when they skirt over your clit. Every time you think you're getting somewhere, you lose your momentum and end up right back where you started. It's not fair.

You whimper with frustration, lost in a lustful daze as all you can do is squeeze your eyes shut and think of Sylus, Sylus, Sylus,

"Sylus," you whine unconsciously. You startle when you feel the mattress shift beneath you, your eyes darting up to make contact with a pair of smugly satisfied ruby-red ones. You freeze in place.

"Yes?" he hums, his smirk widening as he leans closer, looming over you.

"How- how long..." You don't even know how long you've been here.

"Oh, long enough," his tone is casual as he reaches a hand beneath the comforter to pull it back, his breath hitching as he gets a complete view of your debauched state.

His gaze slowly travels down your body to focus on your soaked underwear, your hand buried beneath. "Poor thing," he coos, gently pulling your hand free and up to his face, studying the sheen on your fingers in the light. "Couldn't quite get there on your own?"

Before you can gather yourself enough to respond, he slips your fingers into his mouth, running his tongue around and between them, slick and warm. He groans at the taste, his hips twitching just slightly. He lets your hand go free with a heated exhale, having exhausted his own patience.

"Well, I can't let your efforts go to waste, now can I?" He taps the inside of your thigh, his tone shifting to a more commanding one. "Open."

You obey without a second thought, eliciting a pleased gleam in his eyes. He peels down your underwear, revealing your poor, drooling pussy beneath. His gaze sharpens as he takes in a shuddering breath, and he wastes no more time. He moves to sit behind you, his back against the pillow and yours against his chest.

He pulls your shirt off and splays a hand possessively on your chest, holding you to him and making it impossible to pull even an inch away. You can feel his heavy breath caressing the side of your neck, sending a shiver down your spine.

He doesn't waste any time teasing you today, pushing two of his fingers inside you instead of easing you in with just one. You whimper at the stretch, kicking your leg out and squirming as much as you're able against his chest. You can't move his arms even an inch; his strength is ironclad.

"I know, I know." He murmurs, his lips brushing your ear, his erection throbbing against your back through his clothes. "You like the stretch, huh? You teased yourself enough, kitten. I won't make you wait any longer."

His fingers knead against your mushy, pliant walls, your pussy slurping lewdly with every well-placed curl. He immediately finds the right spots to exploit, your hips twitching helplessly as your nerves light up with pleasure despite his slow pace.

Sylus bites down, sucking a mark on the crook of your neck and pulling a loud whine from your lips. He lets out a low moan as you inadvertently grind back into his crotch. "That's it. Feel good for me."

You gasp as you throb hard around his fingers, gripping the fabric of his pants in both of your fists as your feet dig into the mattress.

"Close already?" he presses a tender kiss to your temple, his gaze fixed on your pleasured expression. "That's alright, sweetheart. Let it out, I know you can do it."

"S-Syl-ah!!"

You cry out as you cum on his fingers, clenching down hard as tears well up in your eyes and your vision blurs. You shudder and whimper as he milks every last drop of pleasure out of you, kicking and squirming yet trapped in his arms like a puppy.

"There we go, good boy." Sylus's prideful voice fades back in alongside your vision as you chase after your breath. You turn around to face him with a whine, and he lets you, allowing you to bury your face in the crook of his neck and hold him tightly.

"You want more? Hm?" he coos, admiring the prominent mark he left on your neck. He chuckles lowly at your eager nod, reaching one hand for the zipper of his pants, still holding you tight to him with the other.

Intimacy has never been a problem for you and Sylus.

Your sex lives could be described as beyond healthy. Seemingly not a day goes by where you and Sylus aren't all over one another in some way, shape, or form. One would think the spark would have died at least a little bit after all this time you've been together, but it's just as strong — if not stronger — as it was the first time the two of you got tangled up in bed. Overall, everything is wonderful, perfect even.

Well, expect for one little thing.

You see, Sylus cannot, for the life of him, get you get and bothered. I mean, he can certainly get you in the mood, but he can't make your breath hitch or your cheeks flush with his teasing. Try as he might — and believe me, he's tried — Sylus just can't get you to give him the reaction he desires.

What sort of reaction does he want, you might ask? Well, Sylus wants to see you break. He wants to shatter that stone-faced facade and leave you a begging, whimpering mess. That's not too much to ask, is it? Apparently it is, since none of Sylus' attempts to make this fantasy come true have given him his desired result.

Nothing has worked.

Sylus has tried every seduction tactic in the book, but not a single one has ever gotten close to making you break. Yet here he is, trying yet again. This time, Sylus hopes that his soft whispers against your ear and the prodding of his half-hard cock against the curve of your ass will finally crack that impenetrable facade of yours.

"Fuck, look at you, kitten. I could just bend you over and have my eyes with you right here and now. You'd like that, wouldn't you?" Ironically, Sylus is the one that comes across as the wanton, needy thing. His warm breaths send goosebumps across your skin as his lips ever so gently graze the shell of your ear. Sylus' lust-clouded mind can't even compute the state that he's in, but if it could, it would certainly laugh at how desperate he currently is.

"You can just ask to have sex if you're in the mood, Sy." Yet again, you respond to his attempts at seduction with that typical deadpan reaction of yours. To anyone else, this would ruin the mood, but it somehow manages to only make him harder. At this rate, Sylus is going to be the one broken and begging.

Lucky for you, that was your plan all along.

It was always obvious to you that your blank responses to Sylus' pursuits turns him on more than he realizes. While you were tempted to bring this to his attention, you decided that it was much more fun to keep teasing him since he seems to love teasing you himself. I mean, it's only fair that he gets a taste of his own medicine, right?

"What's the matter, Sy? Cat got your tongue?" Sylus' eyes roll back in response to the condescending question. It's a bit hard for him to form a thought, let alone fix his lips to speak and problem answer you when you're riding him like it's the last thing you'll ever do.

The fast, steady slap of skin against skin is the only thing aside from pleasure that registers in Sylus' mind. Every sensation is overridden by you. Touch, sound, taste, smell, sight, all of it is consumed by you and Sylus is all too prepared to lose himself in all the sensations.

"Hey, answer me, or I'll stop." That's all it takes for Sylus to snap out of it. You wouldn't be so cruel as to leave him high and dry like this, would you? I mean, you're rock hard and leaking pre all over yourself — you want this just as much as he does, but the look in your eyes tells Sylus that you're dead serious.

"N-no, don't stop. Please, I need you handsome. Need to fill that ass up. Please, you'll let me, won't you?"

Clark whispered in exasperation at you, staring down at your nonchalant face from across the table at the restaurant he brought you to for dinner.

You tilted your head, your eyes blinked innocently at him. “What’s wrong sweetie? Food not to your liking?”

“The food’s fine.” Clark cleared his throat, feeling your foot rub against his leg. He was very glad the restaurant had a giant table cloth to hide what was happening under it.

You hummed. “Maybe we can open a bottle of wine back at your apartment later to relax.”

“Sounds like a plan.” Clark forced out, your foot now resting on his pant covered crotch. Clark gulped at the sensual feeling of your socked foot rubbing against his swelling member but he was getting frustrated when that’s all you did before your foot retreated.

Clark spent the rest of the dinner calming his erection down while he tried to enjoy his food.

~~~~~

“That was pretty daring.”

Clark told you with a huff as he took your coat off your body to hang on the rack near the entrance of his apartment before hanging his suit jacket next.

He rolled up the sleeves of his dress shirt as he watched you go into the kitchen to procure a bottle of wine that you kept in one of his cabinets from one of your last visits.

You turned to him with a smile as you held up the bottle with a grin. “How about a glass of wine for a job well done?”

“And what job would that be?” Clark cocked an eyebrow at you.

You gave him a sly look as you searched around to get one wine glass. “Your control of not jumping my bones all night.”

“So you were testing me?” Clark replied with a snort, crossing his arms over his chest as you poured out wine into the cup.

You shrugged taking a sip of the wine before smacking your lips loudly. “I was just curious to see how far you’re willing to deal with my bullshit.”

“Language,” Clark playfully scolded you. “And don’t I get a drink too?”

“Take a seat on the couch, I’ll bring your drink right out.” You winked at Clark, making him chuckle before doing so.

Clark was left alone in his living room for a few minutes before his eyes widened when you strolled into the room without your pants.

Clark’s mouth dropped in awe at the sight of you in your white dress shirt, underwear and knee high socks.

Clark blinked. “Honey? What happened to your pants?”

“Don’t worry about them.” You told Clark before straddling him, balancing the glass of wine in your hand.

Clark was a little bewildered by your erotic behaviour but he definitely didn’t mind it as his hands squeezed your waist.

“What happened to my drink?” Clark asked, looking up at you in amusement.

You winked. “I’m feeding you, obviously. A sweet treat after a hard day’s work and then having to entertain your boyfriend’s teasing during dinner.”

You leaned in, capturing Clark’s lips with yours in a soft kiss. Clark let out a sound of disapproval when you pulled away before he could deepen the kiss.

“Don’t be like that,” Clark shivered at your sultry tone. “Open your mouth, I’m gonna feed you now.”

Clark’s lips parted without hesitation, getting a smug look from you as you took a sip from the cup in your hand before you leaned back down and pushed the wine into Clark’s mouth.

Clark made a surprised noise in the back of his throat, he had expected you to just tip the cup to his lips but he welcomed the new method of drinking wine.

Clark sucked on your tongue, the sweetness of the wine mixed with your saliva. “Give me more honey.”

You took another sip before latching your lips with Clark’s, the wine pouring out of your mouth and into his.

Clark felt some of the wine trickle down his chin before your tongue was licking the excess wine off his face.

“Don’t wanna waste it.” You murmured as you sat back, licking your lips.

Clark felt the side of his mouth twitch before he was reaching out to grab the glass of wine out of your hand.

“What are you doing?” You pouted, gripping the glass tighter so Clark couldn’t snatch it out of your hand.

Clark smiled as he noticed your face getting redder from the wine. “I want to do more with you too hun but we’re not going to if you’re not sobered up.”

“But I still want to feed you.” You whined, moving in Clark’s lap. Clark bit down on the bottom of his lip, both from wanting to laugh at how adorable you were being and how good it felt feeling your ass rub against his crotch.

Clark’s eyes widened when you decided to pour the remainder of the wine on the front of your dress shirt, soaking your chest as it showed off your perky nipples through the material of your shirt.

“There,” You exclaimed. “You can drink more and I won’t get drunk further.”

Clark wasted no time as he latched his mouth onto one of your nipples, sucking a nub through your wine drenched shirt.

Clark let out a happy moan when you whimpered and tugged on the back of his head, pushing your chest into his face.

Clark chuckled, he loved when you would react needily in his arms.

“Clark.” You sighed when Clark stopped attacking your chest turned his attention to your neck, licking and biting against the skin to leave a mark.

Clark let out a satisfied rumble. “What do you need, honey?”

“I need you.” You gasped out, rolling your hips down into Clark’s lap. Clark’s breath hitched at the sweet friction you were giving him.

Clark licked his lips and nodded. “Okay hun but I need to open you up so you need to be patient with me, okay?”

You made a noise of disapproval but didn’t argue when Clark unbuttoned your pants and slipped the waist of it down so it hooked right under the curves of your ass.

Clark smiled when you sighed as he grabbed your cheeks and fondled them in his hands.

“It’s going to be a little uncomfortable, so you have to tell me if you want to stop.” Clark told you.

Clark felt your fingers tighten on his shoulders when he pushed one finger in, pushing just pass the rim until the knuckle.

Clark swirled his finger in you, testing to see if he could find the prostate before he passed a bump that made you twitch in his arms.

“Clark!” You gasped out, eyes widening for a second before you leaned in to capture his lips in a heated kiss while you moved your hips in his lap.

Clark added another finger in, causing you to moan into his mouth.

You panted. “I want the real thing.”

“Just a bit more, hun. Be patient.” Clark told you, pushing his tongue into your mouth to distract you while he continued to open you up with his fingers until he felt you were ready for his cock.

Clark moaned against your mouth in surprise when one of your hands reached down to palm his cock through his pants before you blindly unlatched his belt and unbuttoned his pants to push your hand in to grasp his hardening length.

You whimpered against Clark’s mouth as you continued to ride his fingers while stroking his cock. “I’m open, Clark. Don’t you want to stick your cock inside me?”

Clark groaned, his cock twitched in your hand by your erotic words.

You gasped when Clark pulled his fingers out before he gently lifted you up so he could get the rest of his pants and underwear off his legs.

Clark was getting dizzy with lust as he aimed the head of his cock to your hole before you slowly sat down and took in the rest of his length.

“That’s it, honey. Take in what you can, this was what you wanted all night wasn’t it?” Clark panted, feeling himself bottom out as you plopped onto his lap with a whimper.

You nodded wordlessly, latching your lips with Clark’s again as you started to ride his lap.

Clark’s eyes rolled to the back of his head, his hands held your waist as you rode him to your heart’s desire. The constant warmth of your hole squeezing the life of his cock as you went into a rhythm was blowing his mind.

Clark sat back and watched in awe when you threw your head back with a sigh as you lost yourself in riding him.

Clark’s eyes traveled down from your wistful expression to the expose skin of your neck and still wet shirt before he reached up to unbutton the rest of your shirt off.

Clark was in a daze watching your chest rise and fall in front of his face before he quickly latched his lips onto on your nipples and sucked, his tongue lapping up the mixture of your sweat and dried wine on your skin as he focused on the nub.

You threw your arms over Clark’s shoulders, leaning your body forwards in surprise by his attack on your chest as your hips stuttered from the pleasure Clark was giving you.

Clark groaned when he bit down on your nipple, causing a domino effect when you squeezed your hole around his cock in response.

Clark spanked one of your cheeks, making you yelp before he turned his attention to your other nipple.

“Clark, I’m gonna cum.” You whimpered, tugging on the back of his head to pull him off your nipple.

Clark released his mouth from your chest with an audible pop, grinning up at you. “Yeah? The next time we’re doing this, you’ll be cumming with my tongue in your hole. Wouldn’t that be nice, hun?”

“Oh shit.” You panted out before Clark felt your cock twitch in between your bodies as you ejaculated. The hot substance coated your bare abdomen and Clark’s shirt.

Clark followed right after, filling you up with his seed when the force of your own release squeezed his cock so hard that he couldn’t last longer.

You and Clark were breathing heavily in each other’s arms, the cloud of lust slowly dissipated from your minds as reality sank back in.

Clark felt your hands on his face before you kissed him sweetly on the lips, pulling away with a soft smile on your face.

“I can’t believe you let me do this.” You chuckled.

Clark smirked. “Well, I can’t say that I wasn’t in for the ride. The thing with the wine was a nice change though, it was hot.”

“So should I feed you more wine directly from my mouth next time?” You purred in interest, making Clark gulp.

Clark huffed. “Maybe we do it without our clothes on next time if we’re not using the wine glasses.”

“That’s fair, I feel incredibly sticky right now.” You scrunched up your face in disgust as you looked down at some of the red wine stains on your chest.

Clark smiled, patting you once on your cheek. “I think this calls for a good shower.”

You yelped, your hands clung onto Clark as he stood up with ease while you were still on his lap. Your legs immediately wrapped themselves around his waist for a better grip.

“Warn a guy.” You playfully scolded Clark, making him laugh.

Clark pecked you on the lips in apology. “I’m sorry hun. Call it payback for me wanting to spend a nice dinner with you.”

“Fine,” You rolled your eyes as Clark manoeuvred into the bedroom while still carrying you. “Next time, I’ll be on my best behaviour.”

Clark put you down in front of the bathroom and before you could walk in to start the shower, he pulled you back to graze his lips against yours with a teasing smile on his face. “Next time, we’re doing things my way.”

The Avalanche Series - @magicalcrime

Length: over 200k (probably most definitely way more but I don't know exactly how much more)

I'm not sure this series even needs an introduction, if you love snowcrow there's a very good chance you've already read this series. It is the magnum opus of snowcrow fic, but in case you haven't read it, here I am to talk you into it. For each installment of this series, you get to meet a new version of Sylus and Zayne and how they fall in love. The Doctor and the Conquerer, the Foreseer and the Dragon, Dawnbreaker and Carrion. It could not be more fun to get to read about all of these different versions of them and how they interact with each other and how different and similar their stories are, and you even get to meet an entirely new Sylus from the decaying world Dawnbreaker inhabits. I could gush about this series for ages. Read it!!! It is so worth it, and will keep you well fed for such a long time. And if you finish it and don't know what else to read, literally everything else Goose has written is worthy of a recommendation as well. You're gonna see this name pop up on this list several more times.

It's hard to summarize all of these stories quickly, but trust me when I say you won't regret reading any of them (and yes, they're all like 50k words each). Leyorice is one of the gems in this fandom for the consistent and incredible storytelling we get every time they post. Their snowcrow au's are to die for.

You'll never be disappointed sitting down to enjoy one of their fics. Not all of them are explicit, but some of them are. Honestly I recommend just going through everything they've written, it's all so good, these are just some of my favorites. They also have a fantastic selection of applesnow to read through as well.

Heart Rate - AngelLindsay

Length: 49k

This isn't the usual thing I'd recommend, for one, Zayne is pretty dominant throughout most of this fic, but in the last chapter he submits so sweetly it made it all worth it for me I can't lie. This is VERY much a Sylusmc + Zayne fic, but something about it had me invested anyway. The characterization and Zayne's self loathing etc etc, it was just a really fun read.

For Want of Control - ElizabethDurham

Length: 23k

This one is somewhat similar to Heart Rate, but focuses on Zaynemc + Sylus instead. This one also features a lot of just Zaynemc and a dominant Zayne, but like Heart Rate, the last chapter totally won me over with how Zayne finally relinquishes control and submits. There's just something so juicy to me about Zayne being kind of neurotic about his control in bed and then eventually choosing to give it over to Sylus, even if it's just for a night.

I think this might be the only work in progress I have on here, but I don't care because omega Zayne and alpha Sylus!!!

His interest in Zayne is piqued immediately when the two end up next to each other at a charity gala, and unlike everyone else in the room, he doesn't seem to notice Sylus' scent at all. Cue Sylus doing everything he can to stay near his new favorite doctor.

Zayne brushed a long lock of hair out of his eyes. Contrary to popular belief, he could see just fine through the screen of the raiment he wore to shroud his eyes. A lesser creature staring into the unshrouded eyes of a god would suffer immediate madness, unable to fathom or contain such divinity. However, he was not facing a lesser being now. 

The God of Chaos sat before him, lounging on a throne made of gold in his temple. Long silver hair that rivaled Zayne’s for volume contrasted with the thick black horns that grew from behind his hairline and spiraled to a point behind his ears like those of a ram. His eyes, scarlet and smouldering were sharp and seemed endless to Zayne, rimmed in heavy black coal. A smattering of gold markings that matched the rings in his ears shimmered in the torchlight and trailed against the skin of his left cheek, jawline and neck, flat like paint but glimmering like scales. 

Gold, delicate chains and talismans clung to the hollow of his throat and the base of his neck, and the flecks of gold shimmer streaked across his broad chest. He was dressed in reds and blacks; a scarlet toga-like robe was secured by a solid golden pauldron that was shaped like clustered scales at his left shoulder and allowed to drape down over black silken skirts that ended above his knees, secured at the waist with a belt of black leather in which to place a weapon or a coinpurse. The right side of his chest and shoulder were exposed, save for the bangle that wrapped around his right bicep, and showcased his chiseled muscles. 

What drew Zayne’s eyes the most were his hands and forearms; his long fingers and hands appeared as black as night, as if they had been dipped in ink up to the middle of his forearm where the color dissipated in chaotic streaks as it blended into the cool tan of his skin. His claws were short, blunt, but very much real and credited his title as a fierce chaotic force. 

“Speak, God of Annihilation.” Sylus said in a dulcet, deep tone, propping his head up on a closed fist as if he was unimpressed. “What brings you to my temple?”

“I have read the tomes, and I seek the Desiderium. My search has led me to you. Take me to it.” Zayne demanded, stature tall and solid in the face of another god. Sylus quirked an eyebrow.

“And what use does a god have for such a flower?” he asked curiously. Zayne frowned. 

“That is no concern of yours, God of Chaos.” Zayne said tersely. He had heard of Sylus, and his reputation for being as chaotic as his domain preceded him. A trickster. A hellion. Zayne kept his tone powerful and commanding. There would be no opportunity to let the other god into sabotaging his plans. A flicker of anger crossed Sylus’ face, but only for a flash of the moment. Zayne prepared to argue, but backed down when the cheshire smile returned to Sylus’ plush lips.

“Did you translate the tomes yourself, Annihilator?” Sylus purred. 

“I did.” Zayne answered him. “Desiderium, a golden flower enchanted to amplify one’s inner power.”

“I see…” Sylus crooned. Something lurked beneath the surface of Sylus’ ruby eyes that gave Zayne an ominous feeling. “Impressive. Ancient Abyssal is a difficult language to master.”

Sylus stood from his golden throne, golden splatter-like markings taking on new patterns of shimmer as he moved. Zayne didn’t realize just how tall Sylus was; his muscled torso was long and his powerful legs were even longer. The sound of his leather sandals, laced up the length of his calves, clacked against the stone floor of the temple as Sylus approached. 

“Then I suppose there is no time to waste, is there?” he said, extending a hand. Zayne furrowed his brow distrustfully. Sylus chuckled at him, showing off a set of pointed eyeteeth. “You came to me did you not, my fellow in divinity? Are you abandoning your quest now when you are so close to what you seek?”

The torchlight cast shadows over the golden chains and exquisite pearls that adorned Zayne’s chest, flickering at the ornamental cuffs he wore at his throat and shoulders. He eyed Sylus’ outstretched hand and playful smirk as if deciding. 

“You’ll take me to the flower, no questions asked?” Zayne said hesitantly. 

“I believe I did ask a question, and you simply chose to ignore it.” Sylus stated, tone on the verge of irritability. Zayne scoffed.

“No tricks.” Zayne demanded. “You’ll guide me to what I seek and allow me to take in its enchantment.”

“Yes.” Sylus said with no hesitation. Mirth danced in his eyes. “I will transport you to the Desiderium and allow you to partake of it. The entire garden of it, if you so wish. And I will ensure your safe return.”

“What do you stand to gain by helping me?” Zayne asked him stoically. Sylus chose his words carefully.

“I am eager to see what you do with its power. Sated curiosity is payment enough for me.” Sylus said innocently. Zayne didn’t buy it for a moment.

“Surely there is something else you want in return.”

“Well if you insist on payment,” Sylus sighed as if wounded that Zayne wouldn’t simply take his word. “You may do so with your lips.”

Zayne stared at Sylus incredulously. Sylus returned his gaze evenly, and took a step forward. 

“Unless your offer was all for show, of course.” Sylus teased. Pink dusted Zayne’s cheeks and he frowned.

“Awfully forward of you.” Zayne murmured, turning his body to stand face to face with Sylus. Sylus brought long fingers to catch a lock of his hair silently, his expression daring him to back down as the gold strands of hair sparkled in the light. Zayne scoffed. He didn’t have time for this.

He stepped forward and glided a hand over Sylus’ face to hold him firmly by the jaw and slotted their lips together in a forceful kiss. Not out of love or any kind of cloying interest, but to establish his dominance. He could feel Sylus smile into the kiss, and felt short claws trace over his torso, catching on the ornamental jewelry he wore. 

Sylus kissed him back full of hunger and with a nip at his lips, letting Zayne part his mouth with his tongue to lick into Sylus’ mouth. Sylus felt a raze of humor at the situation. He was so sure the God of Annihilation was nothing more than an obnoxious prude. Interesting. he thought as Zayne pulled away from his grasp. Sylus laughed, voice smooth like honey.

“I’d say that is more than sufficient.” Sylus grinned at him like he’d won a game. He extended his inky fingers once again and repeated his promise. “Transport to the Desiderium, and transport back with as much of the flower as you desire.” 

Zayne looked at the gilded god in front of him with a hooded gaze and bitten lips and detected no lies. He extended a hand, adorned in an intricate gauntlet that ringed his fingers to the knuckle and slid it into the warmth of Sylus’ pitch-dark hand. 

Sylus’ smile was wicked, and Zayne had no time to form a thought about it when a scarlet plume of smoke enveloped them both and whisked them away from where they stood. When Zayne opened his eyes, his lips parted at the ethereal sight before him. 

Trees bearing ripe pomegranates and citrus swayed in the wind. Golden sunlight highlighted the jewel tones of flowers that grew healthy and beautiful all along a stone path in front of them. Aside from the path of stone, the garden seemed to stretch on forever on all sides, and infinite land of rich flourishing flora. Bushes that held roses of every color grew wild and free. The sun was shining softly in a pleasant warmth as they walked the garden path. 

Zayne was so taken by the scene that he almost didn’t notice that sylus hadn’t let go of his hand. Slipping his fingers out of Sylus’ grasp, he glanced at the God of Chaos, and had to admit to himself that he found Sylus’ visage quite compelling. His strong nose, the curl of his lips, the sharp angle of his jawline and the slender column of his neck. Zayne forced his eyes forward. He was here for one reason only. 

Sylus led him down the path and then stopped at an outcropping of red datura flowers to their left. He motioned with his head towards the trail of deep red flowers, prompting Zayne to follow him. Zayne’s linen outer robes were a stark contrast to the vibrant blood-red as he walked between the flowers and he felt Sylus’ eyes upon him too.

Sylus stopped at the end of the path of red flowers and laid eyes on exactly what he was looking for. The spread of flowers in front of him were wide like lilies with golden petals that shone in the sun like metal, reflecting the light thrown at it with a powerful glow. Sylus extended a hand out to the field, gesturing at the glimmering blooms. 

“Desiderium. As promised, God of Annihilation.” Sylus said proudly.

Zayne was mesmerized. He walked past Sylus into the pool of flowers with an awed look on his face. He knelt, smoothing out his skirts to cup one with his hands, soft to the touch. As he peered inside of the wide bloom, a puff of dust fired from the pistil of the flower with a force Zayne was not expecting. The air smelled floral and sweet, and Zayne stumbled back, wiping his face as pollen invaded his nose. 

He shook his head to shake it out of his hair, sputtering with the floral taste. He scowled, but wasn’t deterred, and cupped the flower again to pull it from the ground by the stem. Zayne gathered his robes and got to his feet, but was greeted with a dizzying headrush. He stumbled, closing his eyes as his vision swam for a moment. 

A prickle of heat bloomed from his abdomen, racing through his body in a pleasurable flood through his limbs. He felt his shoulders relax and the tension in his jaw dissolve. The heat intensified, and he felt his chest start to burn, cheeks consumed in it. His thoughts felt disjointed, and his breaths turned heavy. A dangerous wave swelled through him, and he felt a flutter in his stomach as his cock began to harden. 

Zayne stumbled again, trying to regain control over the heat that consumed him. This time, a powerful pair of hands was there to steady him. His touch was electric, it felt too good to be touched. Zayne shuddered, a sigh stuttering out of him. Sylus clicked his tongue impishly.

“Hmm. You don’t look well, Annihilator.” he cooed. He extended his hand, rippling his fingers to summon a fine-looking chaise lounge to the middle of the field for Zayne to sit on. Zayne complied, the golden flower falling from his fingers and tumbling to join the flowers below. Sylus’ fingers crept underneath the long panels of his outer robes. “I’m sure it would feel so much more comfortable if this came off, to let your skin breathe.”

Zayne nodded, head still swimming as he tried to make sense out of what was happening. His muscles tensed and a noise stuck in his throat from the feeling of Sylus’ fingers teasing over his skin, undressing him with a feather touch. He finally looked up at Sylus and his eyes narrowed when he saw a sharp grin on his lips.

“You lied to me.” Zayne hissed, his voice thick between deep, heavy breaths. Sylus chuckled. 

“I did not.” he said firmly. He grabbed Zayne by the chin, forcing his head steady to look into his smouldering red eyes. His tone was mocking, playful. “Since you seemed to have all the answers, I only assumed that you must’ve known that the word for “power” is interchangeable with the word “desire” in Ancient Abyssal.”

Zayne felt his heart catch in his throat and his stomach drop. Oh. That certainly changed things. Still, Zayne grit his teeth, hands kneading into the soft fabric of the couch he was on as he struggled to form coherent thoughts.

“Why didn’t you tell me when I spoke of the flower? You knew I wouldn’t get what it was I really wanted.” Zayne grunted, trying to ignore the feeling of arousal that stemmed from Sylus’ firm grip. Sylus snatched the veil from Zayne’s face to reveal the most beautiful eyes he’d ever seen, green as sea glass, and wide with panic.

“Because you walked into my domain to lay nothing but demands and rudeness at my feet.” Sylus growled. “Had you been even the slightest shade polite, I might have told you that the pollen from these flowers ignites an arousal that burns for thirty days and thirty nights unless you satisfy your desire with the touch of another.”

Sylus chuckled again, ghosting soft touches with his fingertips over Zayne’s torso, feeling the ripple of muscle beneath his fingertips as Zayne squirmed. 

“As for “getting what you really want,” I think your body has decided what’s really important.” Sylus leaned into the crook of Zayne’s neck, minding his horns as his long mane of silver hair ran like a river over his shoulders. He lowered his voice, and whispered in Zayne’s ear. “If you manage to come up with some manners, you may still be in luck.”

Zayne shuddered at the feeling of Sylus’ tongue tracing over the shell of his ear, and clamped a hand over his mouth to keep a moan from escaping. He writhed, skin alive with the need to be touched. 

“Do as you please.” Zayne stuttered. Sylus hissed and backed away from him, eyes narrowed and Zayne objected with a strangled noise, suddenly longing for the touch.

“I offer you yet another favor, and you insult me. That is not how this is going to work.” Sylus said through gritted teeth, shaking his head and crossing his arms over his chest. His expression was terse, the lightheartedness drained from his voice. “I have no interest in forcing myself upon you. If you’d like me to assist you with your newfound curse, you’re going to ask me nicely for what you want. Otherwise, I will keep my end of the bargain and return you safely to your domain, where you can spend the next thirty days in stifling agony thinking about your transgressions.”

Zayne sat up, mind racing. He couldn’t bear this for an entire month. He remembered the taste of Sylus on his lips, and his mind constricted to thoughts of his mouth, his fingers coaxing the heat out of his body like poison from a wound. His cock twitched at the thought. His cheeks burned in regret.

“You’re right.” Zayne said through shaking breaths. “I apologize. I did not honor you in your temple, and the manner in which I spoke to you was rude. I myself have retaliated for less.”

Sylus stayed silent, looking down at him with a neutral face. 

“Go on.” Sylus said expectantly. Zayne swallowed, willing his thoughts to be as clear as they could be.

“I would…like for you to touch me again.” Zayne said. “Please, help me.”

“That wasn’t so difficult was it?” Sylus said with a cheshire smile.

“It is in your hands.” Zayne said through gritted teeth, striking down the urge to tackle the God of Chaos to the chaise and take him there and now. Sylus sat back down and leaned forward, prompting Zayne to lean back. He smoothed a hand up Zayne’s chest and reveled in how he shifted and groaned.

“Don’t worry, God of Brazen Tongues.” Sylus said mercifully, tracing over his nipple and sending a harsh shiver down Zayne’s entire body. “I’ll give you what you need.”

Sylus loomed over Zayne to slot their lips together, his thick waves of silver hair covering them both like a partition of privacy. Zayne keened into his lips, hands rising to cup his face and try to pull him in as close as possible. Sylus reached down to grip Zayne’s aching cock through his robed skirts and swallowed the subsequent moan that Zayne let out involuntarily. Tingles like lighting ran through his body, and he found himself irritated at how composed Sylus was.

“Why aren’t you affected?” Zayne breathed in between heated kisses and vulgar touches. Sylus only laughed at him.

“Who do you think planted them?” he taunted. “Who’s garden do you think we’re in right now?”

Zayne hissed as the blush to his cheeks intensified. Their kisses were abrasive, wet and messy as they nipped and licked at each other with wild abandon. Zayne used his grip on Sylus’ face to turn his head for better access to his pristine neck and wasted no time kissing over his pulse and sucking deep marks into the tender skin there. Sylus moved long fingers to the ornate golden taper that held his tunic together, and unlatched it effortlessly, laying Zayne bare for him to see. 

Sylus kept eye contact as he fisted Zayne’s cock in his hand, giving him several firm pulls in his ebony grasp while the other laid teasing touches against his golden markings at his chest and hips. Zayne moaned, the sensation too much to handle at once, mind going fuzzy at the touch. He needed more, and he needed it now. Zayne sat up, tearing at Sylus’ tunic and shoving off the patterned pauldron on his left shoulder to rid him of his vestments. 

“So eager.” Sylus teased him, unfastening his belt and allowing the tunic to fall off of him naturally. The gold markings on Sylus were as chaotic and beautiful as brush strokes and patterned his body intermittently; one glossed over his left pec just beneath his collarbone, while another swept over his abs and right hip. He was an utter work of art, and Zayne wanted his hands on him immediately. Zayne paused, eyes catching the way Sylus’ cock slapped against his torso with an obscene noise, and he felt his mouth water. 

Sylus felt himself be pushed back into the cushions of the chaise and caught a dark look in Zayne’s eyes before he knelt between his strong legs to take Sylus into his mouth. Sylus’ eyes rolled back at the wet, slick feeling of Zayne’s tongue against his length. One hand trailed up Sylus’ abs, just feeling the muscles that tensed with his touch while the other held his cock still so that Zayne could take more into his mouth and into his throat, working his entire mouth over every inch of him.

Sylus panted at the divine sensations and filthy noises coming from the god between his legs, but he wasn’t done with Zayne yet. He sat up to cup Zayne’s cheek, heart thundering in his chest as he took in those hazy eyes and the way the sunlight played against the strands of gold in his dark hair. His narrow lips glistened and he swallowed between deep breaths. Breathtaking. Sylus thought.

Sylus grabbed Zayne by the wrist to have him take his spot on the chaise, and tugged at his cock while he summoned a vial of oil in a small plume of red smoke. 

“Spread your legs for me.” Sylus commanded and groaned at how quickly Zayne let his knees fall open for him. His chest was still flushed, and his eyes pleaded for touch, for stimulation, anything to chase away the feral itch hiding under his skin. 

Sylus willed divine power into the tips of his fingers, watching his claws recede until they resembled human fingernails and coated them in the luxurious feeling of oil at his fingertips. Gently, he prodded at Zayne’s entrance to warn him before gently nudging his way inside with one of his digits. Sylus let out a wanton noise when he actually saw Zayne’s cock twitching. He let out a breathless laugh as he worked Zayne open, watching his back arch and the muscles on his chest tense and flutter. His hair flowed over his face in messy, debauched strands, his circlet off kilter around his head. 

Zayne keened under Sylus’ fingers, writhing as he seemed to purposefully miss the spots that would make him scream. He tore at the cushions underneath him for purchase, and felt his mind dizzy again every time he looked at the chaos god and the way the sunlight caught his markings. Finally, Sylus withdrew his fingers, using the remaining slick to glide his hands up and down Zayne’s shaft and he lined himself up at Zayne’s entrance. 

“Beg me. Beg for my help.” Sylus purred, reaching for Zayne’s face to brush away his hair and look into his eyes. Zayne raised a hand to catch Sylus by the wrist so he could nuzzle into his palm.

“Please help me.” Zayne murmured, voice sultry and heated as he leaned into Sylus’ touch. “Before I burn alive.”

Sylus grinned and slotted their lips together as he pressed into Zayne’s waiting hole. Zayne threw his arms over Sylus’ shoulders, clawing at his back for more, gasping as he was filled inch by inch. Suddenly, a golden glow ignited in their markings; the symmetrical geometric patterns that adorned Zayne’s body at the shoulders, hips, ribs and the chaotic paint-stroke patterns on Sylus’ face, chest and torso. Two gods in the center of the universe whose power looped through each other over and over. 

Sylus sighed at the feeling of their power activating together and Zayne threw his head back with the heady hum of vitality coursing through him, making him even more ravenous than he was before. Sylus pulled at Zayne’s legs, winding them around his torso and easing Zayne’s shoulders back into the mattress to give him room to move. There was urgency in both of them now, and Sylus began to pump, skipping the pleasantries of adjustment time and barreling right into the heat at Zayne’s core.

Zayne arched off of the cushions as moan after moan was fucked out of him with every punctuated snap of Sylus’ hips. It was powerful, unlike anything he’d ever felt to lay with a god of Sylus’ caliber. 

“Harder.” Zayne demanded, lowering a hand to stroke his own cock. Sylus growled, batting his hand away and drawing himself out of Zayne in one motion. Before Zayne could protest, Sylus flipped Zayne over, chest sealed to the plush cushions and dragged his hips up so Sylus could sink into him from behind with no warnings except for his hands and claws clamped onto Zayne’s hips. 

Sylus felt Zayne squeezing around him as he went harder, faster than before. The power coursing through them both was intoxicating, and he let go of a groan when he saw how Zayne’s back muscles, aglow with golden sigils flexed and ripples underneath him. Sylus claws dug into Zayne’s skin, drawing blood that flowed in golden droplets from the crescent-shaped wounds.

It was magnificent, far more than Sylus had expected. When he’d allowed Zayne to walk into his little trap as punishment, he’d expected haughtiness, stubbornness, and demands to be freed to find his own cure. But he’d clearly underestimated Zayne, inadvertently unlocking a primal sex drive the resonated through them both. 

Zayne felt tears obstruct his vision, and spit slicking his lips. It was pain, it was pleasure and altogether overwhelming. The sick, cleaving heat inside of him pooled together in his abdomen, and Zayne gasped for air.

“Close…” he choked out. Sylus’ thrusts were starting to break pattern into stuttering, messy strokes, and he knew his own orgasm was approaching rapidly as well. He leaned over Zayne, running a hand up his side and to his face to turn his head for a sloppy kiss of tongues and teeth before Zayne plummeted over the edge and spilled onto the cushions of the chaise and across his abs. 

Sylus wasn’t far behind, and in a moment of pure instinct something primal inside of him clicked. He growled, wrapping both arms around Zayne’s chest and came just as he sank his teeth fangs-first into the top Zayne’s shoulder just shy of his leather gorget. Zayne cried out from the pain and sensation of being filled. Heat radiation out of him like a sickness passing, and all he felt was exhaustion. 

Sylus let him go to collapse on the cushions below, shuddering as he pulled out of Zayne, and sank into the space next to him. He sat upright to ensure he didn’t graze Zayne with his horns and his tongue flicked out to lick the golden blood of a god from his lips and teeth. Zayne’s haze slowly dissipated, and his eyes were able to focus again. He looked up at the God of Chaos, smug but just as exhilarated as he was, and a pair of lethal red eyes stared right back at him.

You scoffed at the warning perched at the tree line, the sign rusted and peeling but the message still visible: BEWARE: WEREWOLF BREEDING GROUNDS. Werewolves don’t exist! They’re just fictional! Not possible for humans to develop wolf-like characteristics or behaviors—maybe some do, but no way! You rolled your eyes and ignored the sign, treading into the dark, quiet forest.

An unfamiliar warmth and thrill filled your body, particularly your lower region. Maybe it’s because you have a way of getting home early!

“You really shouldn’t be at the forest at night, unless you want something to snatch you up and eat you.” The man grunted, teeth gritting against each other, snarling and growling like beast—a feral werewolf. Your moans and whimpers filled the silent night as you held onto the tree for dear life, nails digging into the thick tree bark.

It was going smooth, nothing until you ran into another man—he was completely naked except for a single piece of cloth wrapped around his waist, but it nothing to hide the massive erection, and my god was it huge. That was the first thing you noticed but you felt his shining, sharp golden eyes boring into your being, examining and sizing you up. A growl echoed from his throat.

His physique was strong and lean, hard edges and divots on his sculpted stomach that tapered to a shape v-line. Toned muscles and pectorals then you noticed the characteristics: wolf tail and ears, sharp claws and teeth, and at the base of his massive dick, a knot.

And that’s how you got in your current position.

Your mind was turning into mush and your body trembled with each thrust. Every nerve was being struck, the massive, thick dick splitting you—reaching depths and you swore that there was a stomach bulge! This was crazy, beyond anything you could imagine! But you were enjoying it, your dick flopping in the air and leaking beads of precum. Your breeding partner was enjoying his time too, nearly collapsing onto your body—his huffing and puffing against your ear and the occasional growl as he humped you.

“Mate.” The man growled, baring his teeth and grazing it against your nape and shoulders. “Breed.” He continued grunting one-liners, his thrust was becoming sloppy and you could feel the knot expanding against your rim—ready to split your already stretched hole!

With a few more thrusts, Valko delivered the final thrust, pushing his knot into your ass and puncturing your skin with his canines as wades of cum squirted from his tip, painting and filling your hole to the brim with his thick seed. Moans and cries of ecstasy slipped through your lips as your dick spurted its load onto the ground, covering the grass and leaves underneath.

The sounds of skin clapping and moans fell to deaths ears. The exception was soft panting and kisses being doted against the open wound.

“Was I too rough? I got lost, I didn’t mean to… come on, gonna get you home.” Valko says, the feral growls and words replaced by tender words and touch. He might’ve gone overboard, biting you wasn’t apart of the plan! Shit, this wasn’t supposed to happen. It wasn’t much blood, but it flowed through the small holes rapidly.

“No, was just perfect…”

A/n —hello, my strawberry patch and the newly added seeds, hope this was good! Maybe I could’ve added more, but mind is running on fumes rn.
