ā
The movie ended about an hour ago.
The screen went black, and then the TV turned off, and the room was left in a dusky, liminal space, where nothing held its true color, only variations on the color that you knew existed.
The stripes on the worn blanket you were sitting on, the colorful skulls that hung on the wall from an exhibition you saw last month, the art you had framed ā it was all tinged in a greyish-blue that served as a holding space for the tension steadily rising between the two of you, from your spots on the couch.
He ā Francisco, as he introduced himself ā was traveling for a few weeks, and in a show of courage that had you surprising yourself, you offered to be his guide.
Maybe it was the glint of interest in his eyes. Or maybe it was the hint of dark curls under his hat, ones that had you wondering how soft they were. Maybe it was the look on his face ā first an assessing, intensely soulful look that pinned you in place, then a surprisingly vulnerable one that held you there.
Whatever it was, you offered and he accepted. Day trips had turned into night walks, had turned into this meeting at your place for a home-cooked meal, which had then turned intoā¦.this.
This aching space, where anything was possible.
This muted space, that was devoid of color but so rich in other things: in the low, gravely drag of his voice, in the heady, masculine scent of his skin, in the gentle caress of his fingers playing idly with yours.
Slumped together on your sofa, shoulder to shoulder, a low pitch of conversation is exchanged between you in the dark room. Your breath is shallow, your heart racing, your mind hoping ā yet you sit still and let him play: his fingers sliding between yours, his thumb brushing over your skin, his touch tracing your knuckles.
He is so close you can feel him talking as well as hear it. So close you can smell a whiff of the detergent he uses.
Turning your head in reply to something he says, your warm breath mingles in the shared space between your mouths. His breathing seems just like yours, a cross between holding it in fear of breaking the moment, and taking sips just to breathe each other in.
The room around you is pregnant with intimacy, with the occasional street noise that drifts in on the wind, and in this aching quiet, his hand lifts to cup your jaw, the tension between your bodies swelling to new heightsā¦.
And then, he kisses you.
His mouth is tender, exploring. Weighted, firm. His lips press fully against yours, capturing you in place, fingertips brushing against the hinge of your jaw. Your mouth parts to invite him in, and he accepts with a slow slide of his tongue, tasting, tasting, tasting. The kiss deepens with a sigh, your body melting backwards to pull him on top of you and he follows your guidance, seeking out your closeness and your flavor, his hands beginning to wander, just like yours.
The comforting, solid weight of his body presses you into the couch, his hips finding a home between the cradle of your thighs. You kiss, and kiss. Lips sealing together, mouths opening wide, tongues sliding together to savor taste.
The room sees it all ā a blank canvas for the bright bursting thing happening between you two. The thing thatās been there from the start, finally coming to fruition. Everything drips ā the grey walls bathed in intimacy, the muted tones awash with arousal, the clinging cotton covering your core.
Your laps grind together, your aligned bodies melding as his strong arms wrap around you to hold you close, and your ankles hook over his lower back. Your fingers slide through his curls and they are exactly as soft as you thought theyād be, like slippery silk.
You give them a tug, and are rewarded with his lowest, neediest groan yet.
Weighted with want, rumbled into your open mouth.
The movie ended an hour and a half ago, and his form joins the dusky tones of the room when he kneels between your bare thighs, your jeans and panties hooked around one ankle while itās his tongue this time that sparks and lights, washing your body in arousal so strong it hurts.
He delves deep, licks wide, flicks and swirls and laps.
With your back arched, he devours.
His broad back is reflected in the black screen of your TV, the filthy image of his grey t-shirt pulling tight between his shoulder blades in his hungry hunch, his dark curls tucked between your spread thighs. Your fingers curl to grasp at the blanket beneath you and you roll your hips into his hungry mouth until your moans break the weighted silence, joining the night sounds from outside.
He joins you on the couch after that, even though itās not big enough for what he has in mind. Itās a two seater, a small thing, but he makes it work when he stretches out on top of you and smears your own wetness against your mouth with his searing kiss, and reaches between the press of your bodies to unbuckle his belt.
There are other people in your building ā a neighbor whom you share a wall with, who you only hear on football match days. A woman beneath you, the shouts of her children heard sometimes through the vents. Still more in the floors beneath them, and in the streets outside, and in the expanse of the city as it spreads across the earth ā yet your entire existence is reduced to this one room when he opens your mouth with his just as he slides forward to break you open with a filling, weighted grind.
Your teeth catch his lower lip when you whine underneath him, and you can tell he likes it, this confirmation that heās a lot to take. He grins against your mouth ā decadent and filthy, slightly cocky and mischievous ā and begins to fuck you on your couch like heās been planning it since day one, from that first meeting in the bar.
He fucks with intent, with purpose. With experience, with competence. But also just like that first meeting, his intensity gives way to something more base, something feral and open and vulnerable. Like he canāt help the need that pours out, or the way he seeks your warmth.
His hips rock forward, demanding you take him in your pinned place underneath his body. His strokes are a rolled grind that has you lifting yours to meet his, forcing him deeper as your nails dig into his lower back, holding on.
The room absorbs every filthy sound: the humid panting of breath, the needy, low moans, his grunts that match the rhythmic punch of his hips. Filthy confessions pour from his mouth ā your pussy feels so good, I wanted to fuck you the first time we met, bet your mouth was made for me too, your fucking pussy is so tight Iām gonna cum, youāre going to make me cum.
Every piece of praise washes over the sensitive hollow beneath your ear.
Itās like rebirth, like baptism. Like your life was as muted and dull as the small room around you and he found you and tugged you into the bright bursting daylight, plunging you into a colored life of sensation, of aching desire, of feelings too strong to be real.
When he comes, you join him, a tear sliding from the corner of your eye.
The movie ended two hours ago, and dawn breaks on the horizon somewhere outside. It trickles in through your open window, a slice of barely illuminated gold.
Sated and spent, he lays on top of you and your fingers drift mindlessly through his damp roots, over his soft shirt, along the firm planes of his skin. Itās a tight fit, an uncomfortable one that you donāt mind, when he shifts his weight off you to tuck himself into the back of the couch, holding you close against him.
While he dozes, you stay awake.
Bird sounds replace the quiet, light illuminates the darkness. From your spot crushed against his chest, you watch his pulse beat under his skin, strong and steady. Leaning in, you inhale his scent from the place on his body drenched with it ā the hollow of his throat.
Slowly, lightly, as light slips into the room and brings color with it, you brush your fingers over the freckles that dot his skin just above his collar. There is a cluster youāve been obsessed with since you first saw him, and you find them, dusted across his skin.
Resting your mouth against them, you let your eyes close as you press a kiss that lingers.
A full press of your mouth ā one that lingers, then stays, as you fall asleep.
SUMMARY: You meet Harry Castillo whilst on the vacation of your dreams and spend the entire summer intertwined in a romance with an expiration date. Come seasonās end, youāll have to decide if you want to return to your old life or pursuit a new one with Harry.
P.S. For the sake of keeping the whimsical, summer vibes afloatā¦ weāre going to suspend our disbelief (the conscious choice to ignore plot holes or unrealistic elements simply to enjoy a fictional story) when it comes to travel laws and all that boring stuff, kay?
Set in a brothel in the late 1800's in a desolate desert town, you've only been working there for a month when Din Djarin shows up. A bounty hunter who makes his stops into town between jobs, he's known at the inn for his generous appetite and demanding preferences. Asking for you to be made available to him every time he's in town, neither one of you is ready for where this requests leads.
Rating: Explicit af - it's a brothel, friends š„°
A/N: This is a complete revision of the previous story I posted in 2020. The original story was the very first thing I ever wrote, and this revision is truly the labor of love it deserves. Nothing is going to be removed from the original story -- this is an expansion and improvement on the original, hopefully for the better. To everyone who has been here since the first chapter all the way to the new readers -- I hope you enjoy! ā¤ļø
--
The first time you see him in the brothel, you call dibs.
With your eyes fixed on the way his throat moves when he swallows his drink, the madam laughs.
āYouāre too sweet for that one. He needs more experienced girls.ā
From across the room, the two of you size him up together ā your face curious, hers more knowing.
āHeās more generous than youāll ever meet when it comes to money,ā she confides, leaning in close. āBut his appetite and size are also generous.ā A lewd smirk graces her lips. āIām not sure youāre ready.ā
Giving her a skeptical glance, your eyes go back to the man. He pushes back from the worn bar top, tipping his head in a silent thanks to the bartender. Broad shoulders tightly encased in a worn but clean jacket, holsters slung low on his hips, trail dusted boots. Following his loose, confident gait up the stairs, you take in the way he moves with surety up the staircase, disappearing into a room.
āWait. What do you mean, āhis appetiteā?ā you question, turning back to the madam, but sheās already gone, cooing over someone else playing cards nearby.Ā
Giving one last glance at the door of the room he went into, you plaster on a smile and make your way towards the crowded tables.Ā
--
The next time he comes into town, the madam tells him youāve been asking about him.
The settling of quarries, the payment of services, the collection of flyers among other useful pieces of information ā heās fresh from the sheriffās office, his sparse patience running even thinner. His replies have become near one word responses while he drops a few coins towards the barkeep, in payment for a hot plate of whatever is available.Ā Ā
āIs that so,ā he asks, tipping his hat in thanks when the plate is set in front of him. A glass ofĀ whiskey is poured next, followed by a tin cup of water.Ā
āWell,ā she asks, leaning on his shoulder. āWhat do you think of her?ā
Spearing a bite of food, he chews while his dark eyes study you from across the bar. Chatting with another girl, your face breaks into a smile at something she says.Ā
The madamās head tilted in appraisal, her tone is thick with the sweetness of someone trying to sell their wares. āAll the men love how sweet she is.ā
āSweet?ā he questions, skeptical. Swallowing his whiskey in one go, he sets his glass down on the bar, giving her a side-long look. āI donāt think sweet āā
āOh, hush,ā the madam replies, swatting his shoulder with a fan. āBesides, the girls you had last time moved on. Itās been a while since youāve been around.ā She nods in your direction. āGive her a try. I think you might like her.ā
ā
He has a routine, the madam tells you.Ā
āAlways two girls, always a bath first.ā Opening the door to your room, she strides in, gesturing to a table in the corner.Ā
A girl of twelve scurries behind her, a maid. Placing clean towels down and laying a fresh bar of soap on top, she gets to work on filling the copper tub. The madam straightens the blanket on your bed, and you inwardly laugh. Like that thing stays straight.Ā
āAlways the whole night, and the next day,ā she continues.Ā
āThe next day?ā Gracie asks, her brows raised. āHe keeps going?ā
You laugh at the impressed look on Gracieās face, and she gives you a wink.
āMost men only get an hour,ā she muses. āHe must be really generous if he gets the whole night.ā
āThe next day isnāt for him,ā the madam replies. āItās for you, so you can rest.ā
Scooting the girl out of the room with an affectionate swat on her behind, your face sobers, and itās Gracieās turn to laugh.Ā
āOh, please,ā she rolls her eyes. āTheyād all like to think themselves so good.ā
The madam gives her a knowing look. āYouāll see.ā She starts towards the door, then turns around. āHeās one of our best customers. Make sure you give him what he wants.ā With those final words, she shuts the door behind her.Ā
You immediately turn to Gracie.
āThink we bit off more than we can chew?ā you tease, trying to hide the sudden nerves in your stomach.Ā
She waves your worries away. āWe would have heard about him sooner if he was a rough one.ā
Thatās true. There are rough ones, and they are well known among the girls.Ā
One of the most popular girls since her start at the brothel, Gracie has been by your side since you started. Up for anything, she wasnāt fool enough to think she had actual agency in this world, but the little she did have, she used to the full extent. She knew she could reduce these men to nothing with the roll of her hips on theirs, with the whisper of her sweet words ā and so she did. She didnāt take anything too seriously, and you loved her for it, especially in contrast to your natural inward nature.Ā
āIāve only ever seen him that one other time,ā you reply, testing the water with your hand. āHave you seen him before?ā
āNo. I would have remembered one like that. He is a handsome thing,ā she replies, fixing her hair in the mirror. āHeās got tall, dark and mysterious written all over him. A bit dirty,ā she shrugs, ābut do at least heās asking for a bath. More than most before they crawl into bed.ā
Scrunching your nose, you agree.Ā
āIām going to get ready,ā she says. āGet him in the tub, and Iāll be back. Try not to have all the fun without me.ā
Blowing you a kiss, she slips out of the room.Ā
Without the distraction of others, you fuss with the tub until itās filled with hot water, steam curling above the surface. Shampoo, pitcher, basin. Towel draped to the side, and a sack for him to put his clothes in. The inn ran a laundry service that overnight visitors took advantage of, and you werenāt sure if he was the type to trust others with the clothes off his back, but you prepared for it just in case.Ā
Everything ready, you slip into a silk shift that skims your curves, and try to recall the anticipation and bravery you felt when you called dibs. The warning the madam gave has rattled you, and you wish Gracie were here to help distract. Sheād help you shake the nerves free, crack jokes to help clear the tension from the room.Ā
Finding yourself fiddling with the edge of the blanket, you huff a laugh at yourself before a sharp knock has you straightening.Ā
He enters, and your greeting is automatic.Ā
āHey there,ā you smile with practiced sweetness. āCome on in.ā
He tips his head in acknowledgment, and all bravado you had when you called dibs disappears, slowly replaced with hesitation.Ā
Heās so much bigger in your small room than he seemed downstairs in the main room, especially with the door closed. So much more intimating, his silence making it even more so. The amount of weapons on him doesnāt help. Hip holsters with two pistols, ammo slung low across his hips and attached to one of his boots.Ā
He looks dangerous ā until he lifts his hat from his head, uncovering rumpled, dark brown curls. Dirty from weeks in the saddle, the sight of them is surprisingly vulnerable and helps take the edge off his appearance. He looks softer with them, even while working his holster open next, placing the heavy weight of his guns over the back of your chair.Ā
His silence is unusual. Most men are vocal, demanding, crass. They come in and take what they want, knowing full well they only have an hour to get it ā though most of them only need about ten minutes. They are full of boasting pride, of rushed lust, or in the worst instances, poorly disguised condescension. They paid for the hour, which means they paid for you. It comes with a natural assumption that your body is theirs to do as they please, and it often brings loud-mouthed attitudes with it.
Piquing your interest, the man in front of you says nothing, continuing to get undressed.Ā
Maybe he wants seduction. Come on, you scold yourself. Give him what he paid for.
You stand, the thin strap of your shift slipping down off your shoulder. āWant some help?ā
Stepping closer, you tilt your chin up to meet his gaze.Ā
Itās unforgiving, but not unkind. Bold, unashamed, assessing. His eyes are a deep brown, almost black in the dim, romantic light of your room. Fringed with thick lashes, creased at the edges from the sun, showing evidence of living life in the saddle. A strong nose, a pouty mouth, a dark mustache with scruff that covers his cheeks.Ā
Handsome. Definitely handsome.Ā
He continues to look, curious, with a slight lift of his chin like heās testing you. A natural arrogance, you assume, from having to navigate the rough world outside. There is a thrum of tension between your bodies, one you donāt usually feel with customers. Unsure if itās his quiet confidence, or just his handsomeness youāre drawn to, you use it to bolster your own forwardness.Ā
Standing on your toes and bracing yourself on his chest, you lean in, whispering just under his ear. āI heard you like to get cleanā¦so you can get me all dirty.ā
Pulling back with a mischievous twinkle in your eye, you let your touch slip down the front of his shirt. āThat true?āĀ
He waits a beat before answering, his darkening eyes rovering over your face as his expression relaxes slightly, the corner of his mouth lifting. Like youāve passed his own silent test.Ā
āIt is,ā he answers, in a rough baritone.Ā
āWell then,ā you reply. āLetās get these clothes off.āĀ
Keeping your eyes on his, you start with his vest, working the buttons free one at a time.
ā
He waits in the bath, watching as you undress. His arms stretch wide along the edge of the tub, his broad chest and shoulders taking up space. Admiring the quiet strength held in the way he holds himself, you smile at the naked hunger clear on his face as you climb into the tub, lowering yourself onto his lap.Ā
āSo,ā you make conversation, āWhat do you do?ā
āIām a bounty hunter.ā
Your eyebrows raise. āSounds dangerous.ā
āFor some.ā The reply reeks of confidence, of the implication that he isnāt one of the people heās referring to. Relaxing, he sinks lower into the tub, closing his eyes.Ā
āHow long has it been since youāve had a bath?ā
A low sigh of relief slips out of him, his voice low. āToo long.ā
Lathering the soap, you start with his hand, slipping your fingers between his. You work each finger, comparing the size of your reach against his. His palms are rough and calloused, worn from handling rope. Massaging as you go, you work your way up ā over his thick forearms, up along the muscles in his arms. Your fingers dig into the firm rounds of his shoulders, and he lets out a grunt of appreciation.Ā
Sneaking a peek at his face, youāre startled to find him openly looking back at you. His dark eyes rake over your face and shoulders, dipping low and sweeping back up. His expressions ā lust, blended with curiosity ā aren't guarded at all, like heās not used to hiding them, and you suppose his job has made him this way. The sensation is unfamiliar, and unmooring. Most donāt care enough to look as much as he has. None have ever studied you the way he has, thatās certain.
You swallow, reaching for the soap again.Ā
āIām not going to hurt you.ā
The bar in your hands, his blunt words make you look up, meeting his eyes. He is earnest, sincere. His statements have been blunt and to the point since heās walked into the room, with right now being no exception. And somehow, that lets you know heās telling the truth.Ā
Your own practiced expression slips before you can catch it, open vulnerability displayed on your face before you quickly reel it back in.Ā
āI know,ā you reply, though you donāt ā and he knows it.Ā
His head tilts to the side, waiting. Patient, letting you come to your own decision. After a beat, you dip your chin in acknowledgement.Ā
Confirmation at your reassurance, he closes his eyes and leans back, letting you continue.Ā
The tension broken, you resume. The quiet makes the situation seem so much more intimate than usual; the trickling of water, the soft sweep of your touch over his skin. Your thumbs work the base of his throat, your palms sliding over his firm chest. The sparse collection of hair along his sternum catches suds, and you soap under his arms, and along his ribs; his body releasing tension with every smooth glide of your hands.Ā
You can feel him harden underneath you, but he does absolutely nothing about itā¦and for some reason, that makes you relax around him even more. You can feel the evidence of how much he wants it, have heard from the madam how demanding he can beā¦but yet he waits, savoring this part. You suppose weeks without a bath will do that to a person, and youāre determined to reward him for the wait.Ā
Pouring shampoo into your palm, you lean forward to start on his hair. Pressing your bare front against his own, the sensation gives you your first real reaction since heās entered the room ā a low hum of appreciation, deep from within his chest. Lifting the corner of your mouth with a smile, you become bolder, and let yourself slide down, dragging the pressed weight of your slick breasts over his skin.Ā
He lets out a shaky breath, and dropping his hands from the edges of the tub, they find the meat of your hips under the water with a squeeze. Lifting onto your knees, you lean your weight into him again, lining your front with his. Breast to chest, stomach to stomach, hip to hip ā the sensation of his firm, warm, wet skin pressed against your own has you distracted for a moment before you slide your fingers up through the curls at his nape, working the shampoo into his hair. Your nails drag across his scalp, your fingers twist in his curls, and he simultaneously melts underneath your touch while tightly bundled tension rises between you.Ā
āFeel good?ā
āYes.ā His answer is immediate, low with desire. His hands squeeze your hips, hard, and he kneads your skin under the surface, his touch becoming bolder. Stretching his arms to reach your ass, he grabs greedy palmfuls, tugging you against his lap.Ā
The warm weight of desire fills the cradle of your hips, and reaching for a jug to rinse the shampoo from his hair, you yelp when he surprises you by gripping your waist to hold you in place and sliding down to submerge himself underwater. Suds float to the surface as he quickly scrubs the soap from his hair, and when he sits back up, youāre laughing ā a sound that brings the first smile youāve seen on his face. Itās quick, yet no less devastating, with two deep dimples in his cheeks that make you want to press your thumbs into the divots.Ā
A smile that makes you want to kiss him.Ā
Wiping the water from his face with a broad sweep of his palm, he slicks his dark strands off his face and the effect is startling. Still handsome ā so handsome ā but the vulnerability of the rumpled curls is gone, replaced with dominance. The hunger in his hooded eyes darkens, and feeding off the tension gathering between your bodies and greedy for another groan or smile, you grab the soap.Ā
Arching your back, you put on a show as you reach behind and slide your soapy touch up the length of his legs. Over his shins, behind his knees, up the top of his thighs. Stopping short right before his groin, you straighten again and reach the soap, but he plucks it from your hands.Ā
āHey!ā you protest, biting a grin.Ā
Keeping his eyes on your face, you watch as he slowly lathers it between his large hands and lets it drop into the water before splaying his hand across your sternum. Whether itās the hold itself or the way heās looking at you, you sense the shift of power in the small space as it transfers to him. Sliding his hand to the side with an appreciative hum, he palms your breasts, covering them with soap. He cups the weight of them, smearing his thumbs over your nipples with a slippery glide until they pucker under the suds, teasing them with exploring, needy touches that have you arching your back, leaning into his touch.Ā
Desire trickles down from the tight peaks along your spine, settling between your hips. Slick and warm, you begin a slow roll over his lap and dip your hand beneath the water in search of his cock.Ā When you find it with a firm grip, he sucks in a sharp breath.Ā
āYou ready to get out yet?ā you breathe, your hand stroking him root to tip. Heās thick, a heft to his cock that is more than most and your cunt clenches with anticipation. The space between you is filled with steam, with the slick warmth of the water, with the weighty charge of electricity. He swallows hard, the bob of his tanned throat calling for your lips and leaning forward, you press your mouth to his skin. Warm and wet and fragrant under the press of your mouth, you open up wider, your tongue slipping out for a taste.
The sound he lets out is delicious.
A rough scrape of need, a low growl as his touch grows needier, his hands scooping up your breasts with a squeeze. The soap aids in a slide of his touch down to your hip, his other hand curling around the nape of your neck as he guides you back, and your neglected chest heaves; your hand still working under the water.Ā
You want him. A rare feeling with clients, always fleeting on the rare occasion it happens, you can taste the edge of your arousal, the spark of it burning bright. Heās handsome, but there is also something about his patience and his attentiveness that has you feeling more comfortable than you have in ages. Usually, at this point, youād be faking your interest just to get the hour over with. Right now, youāre surprised by how much you want it.Ā
āYou just gonna stare at my mouth, or āā Your words cut off with a gasp when he drags his thumb over your bottom lip, your question finishing in a whisper. āOr are you gonna kiss me?āĀ
Pulling you in, he does. Fuck, he does.Ā
The first press of your mouths together is sure and firm, his need leading your mouth. He tastes you like heās been dying for it, like youāre an oasis in the middle of the desert. Fitting your mouth against his, he devours the whimper that you let out, drinking it down. His hands splay in their hold around your waist, sliding up over the smooth skin of your back and abandoning his cock to scoot closer, you wind your arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.Ā
Grinding down against his lap, the steamed air above the bath fills with the sound of ragged breath, of low groans, of the gentle lap of water as your mouths taste and part, only to seal again. He meets your need with his own ā savoring, full sweeps of his tongue over yours, kisses that are lazy until theyāre not. Breaking the kiss to taste your neck, his teeth scrape over the delicate skin before he sucks, groaning against your throat. His tongue smears over your skin, and you reach for the soap, wrapping your arms around him to wash his back.Ā
āStop, he groans, his lips brushing against your skin, and you pause.Ā Ā
āYou donāt want me to wash you?ā
He growls low in his throat, cupping your jaw with his hand. He slides his thumb over your lips again, pushing against their plush softness and when you suck on the pad, his eyes fixate on the sight. He shakes his head slowly, his tongue sliding over his bottom lip.Ā
āI want you to get on that bed, girl.ā
Girl.Ā
The word should be demeaning, but itās not. It slips through your torso, shivers along your spine, the weight of it curling low between your hips. The word is like the man ā forcing you to yield. Heās been lying in wait this whole time, letting you believe you have the advantage until you get comfortable, letting you come to himā¦just like you assume he does with his quarries. You fell for the trap, and you donāt even care.Ā
Scrambling out of the tub, he follows you ā and thatās when Gracie walks in.Ā
āOh,ā she breathes, openly appreciating the size and breadth of his nude body. Her eyes drag down and back up again, a pleased smile playing at the edge of her lips. āArenāt you a sight.ā
He jerks his head towards the bed. āGet in here.ā
āWhose in charge here, mister?ā she teases, and he replies without hesitation.Ā
āI am.āĀ
āYes, sir,ā she coos with a little shimmy, shutting the door behind her.Ā
ā
That night, you learned who he was.Ā
Not only his name ā Din Djarin ā which was exchanged in the middle of the night, with your body draped over his, but who he was, as a man. Blunt, straight forward, used to being in charge. Your bodies sore, spent and sated ā he had spent hours putting you through your paces, and your eyelids were as heavy as your limbs as you relaxed into the warmth his bare skin radiated.Ā
Gracie curled into his other side, the reasoning behind two women became evident after that first night: he was touch-starved, with the desire to be immersed in skin to skin, buried underneath someone or within them. Two women at once allowed him this luxury, while also providing him ample resources to expend his excess...energy.Ā
You also learned that he seemed to care about your pleasure. Needed it, in fact. Demanded it from you, pulled it from your body even when you thought you couldnāt give him any more. He pushed and pushed and pushed you, and that night, you understood the madam's earlier comments.Ā
He didnāt seem satisfied until you were just as wrung out as he was, and afterwards, he left you sated and sore, thoroughly used ā and thoroughly asleep.Ā
He had spoken to the madam before he left the next morning.Ā
āI always want that one. Make sure of it.ā
ā
Since that first night, heās shown up a few times.Ā
Always weeks apart: saddle weary and dusty, worn around the edges and ready for a softness that only you could provide.Ā
Tonight, when he gets to your room, youāre already in the bath with Gracie perched on the side, soap and rag in hand. You take turns with him: you, washing his body from your seat on his lap, Gracie leaning over to offer her mouth. His kisses are demanding and deep, his hands reaching to hold her in place while his mouth tastes everything she gifts him. When you interrupt to wash his hair, he shifts to you, cupping your breasts to latch that same hungry mouth onto the peaks. The swirl of his skillful tongue is distracting, decadent, and a hum pours from your throat when his nose brushes along the length of your neck, his mouth sampling the hollow under your ear. His hand travels down your back and over your hip, his thick fingers pressing between your legs.Ā
āIāve been dreaming of that cunt of yours,ā he confesses, his voice like gravel. You can feel how hard he is beneath you, his middle fingers parting you under the water, sliding through the slick wetness heās pulled from you already. āLet me taste it.āĀ
It doesnāt take long until he stands, pulling you from the water and guiding you backwards onto your bed with a push.Ā
āYouāre going to get my bed all wet ā oh my god,ā you moan, arching into the wet heat of his mouth. From the bath to his knees, heās found his way between your thighs with a rough jerk of your body to the edge of the mattress. His shoulders spread you wide, his mouth devouring your cunt in a wet, decadent kiss. Gripping behind your knee, he shoves it up to open you up wider, and his tongue smears and licks across your spread center as he groans, savoring the taste.
Kneeling on the floor next to him, Gracie wraps her hand around his thick cock with a stroke, an action that has him pressing his face closer. Heās messy, open mouthed and hungry, like heās starved for it and you roll your hips against his greedy mouth, losing yourself in the sensation.
She strokes him harder, faster and breaking his kiss to your cunt, he circles the nape of her neck, tugging her in for a kiss. You watch, his glistening mouth meeting hers, his other hand still splayed with a grip on the inside of your thigh to hold you in place. Slipping your fingers down across your soft belly, you find your clit and swirl a practiced circle over it ā until his hand swats yours away.Ā
āItās mine,ā he orders. āThat cunt belongs to me.ā
āThen take care of it like itās yours,ā you challenge. Your tone is sweet and soft, but the lift of your chin tells him itās an order.
He likes the way you push against him, youāve come to find out. His need to make you submit is only satisfying if you push back, if you play at fighting against it. It needs to feel hard won for him, but not in a way most men like to win. Not with harsh, demeaning words and cruel orders. No ā he needs to overpower with pleasure, needs to make you succumb because you canāt fight it anymore. Begging, pulling against restraints, pushing against the weight of his body as he forces you to take it ā those are the ways he likes it.Ā
Giving you a look that pins you in place, he spreads you wide as his hands grip and pinch. He bends, his mouth sucking and biting at the soft skin of your thighs, soothing it with wide sweeps of his tongue. Your head tips back, a moan pouring out of your throat towards the ceiling and you feel the bed dip beside you as Gracie crawls onto it. Reaching over to you, she tips your chin towards her and pulls you in for a kiss.Ā
Sheās so much softer than the man at your feet: her lips lush and pliant, her breath sweet. Her hand cups your breast with a gentle squeeze, toying with the peak while taut pleasure fills the cradle of your hips. His eyes on your face, you can feel his possessiveness in the way his mouth devours, and the combination of her sweetness mixed with his intensity pushes you closer and closer to the edge. The attention is all consuming, your thighs trembling with the release heās building deep inside you. Breaking away from Gracie, you beg him for relief.Ā
āFuck ā Din,ā you moan, threading your fingers through his dark curls with a tug. Letting yourself drop back into the plush mattress, you reach for Gracie as he moans into your spread cunt, and she holds your hand while your back arches, your heels digging into the firm muscles of his back. āIām ā youāre going to make me cum.ā
Your voice breaks when you do, a bright wave of taut warmth spreading from your core outwards. He licks you through it, sliding his tongue through the gush of wetness, focusing his efforts on your swollen clit. Your hips jerk and you whimper, a sound Gracie hushes with another kiss.Ā
Focused on her and still floating, you donāt notice heās stood up until you feel his sure hold slide up over the top of your shins, guiding your knees back against your chest. He steps forward, and you can feel the thickness of his cock pressing against the slick dip of your entrance.Ā
āYou ready, girl?ā he asks, grinding his hips into you. His breathing is ragged, pent up, his chin glistening and wet.Ā
You can feel how soaked you are, his movement smearing your wetness into the curls at his base, over his thick shaft. He positions the weighty, blunt tip of his cock in place, groaning when he feels you clench against it. When he breaks you open, your lips catch against Gracieās, your hot whine fanning over her mouth.Ā
Heās so much ā so filling, so thick, the slide inside so satisfying it makes you want to cry. He reaches further than most, pushing forward with a grind and though Gracie has your mouth, he leans to focus your attention on him. Pulling out and sliding back in with a firm roll of his hips, he breaks your kiss with a grip of your chin, forcing you to look at him.Ā
āLook at me,ā he commands, another slide out, another grind in. Another, another. Trying to match your rhythm with his, you canāt move your hips with how he has them pinned in place, forcing you to take it.Ā
āSo ā,ā he hisses, pulling out to slide back in, āSo fucking wet. So tight,ā he groans, picking up pace. You bounce lightly with the motion; the muscles along his ribs rippling with the action. āGracie, look at her gorgeous tits. They look neglected to me.ā
The smile she gives him is affectionate and sweet, though the situation is anything but. Crawling to you, she bends and licks a wide stripe up the soft underside of your breast, before giving it a lingering kiss.Ā
āDin ā,ā you beg, arching into her wet mouth. Heās already building something low in your tummy, ratcheting it higher with every thrust of his hips, even higher with the unrelenting grip heās using to pin you in place.Ā Ā
Gracie switches breasts with a wet path from one to the other, nibbling at the stiff peak of your nipple. The two of them work in tandem: her sweet mouth with his unrelenting pace, her softness paired with his strength.Ā
She pulls back and Din bends forward just enough to give you a rough, hungry kiss, one that has your knees pressing into your chest and then heās fucking down into you, his hips pounding into your ass, your mouths hovering over each others as you drink down his panting, ragged breaths āĀ
āGracie,ā he tells her, a soft grunt between each word, āShow me your fingers. Thatās right,ā he praises her, as she dips them inside herself with a sigh. āGet yourself nice and wet for me ā youāre next.ā
Out of the corner of your eye, you can see Gracie rolling her hips against her hand, her soft thighs spread wide, the silk nighty sheās wearing twisted around her torso while her eyes glaze over watching him fuck you.
You whine underneath him, earning yourself a quick, breathless kiss. āYou can take it, girl. I know you can.ā He gives a couple of particularly rough thrusts, groaning over your higher moan. āGo ahead, girl. Tell her how good it feels. Tell her āā
Before he can get the words out, you pull his head down to seal his mouth with yours, breaking again underneath him with a hoarse moan. Stronger and more intense than the last one, your cunt squeezes him so hard you feel him stutter a grunt against your mouth, trapped in place. Everything is so wet: your sore cunt, his lap, the sweat that clings to his lower back and along your hairline, the kiss you share with him, as you come down from your peak.Ā
Pausing to let you catch your breath, heās tender with his touches, brushing your sweaty hair back from your face. āYou did so good for me girl. So good,ā he murmurs between kisses. Giving a final caress to your cheek, he gently eases himself out of you. āYou stay there and rest ā itās Gracie's turn.ā
So tender and soothing with you, his rigid cock betrays his yet unsatisfied need as he shifts his focus to her. She looks delighted at the sight ā a desperate Din, his muscles rigid with tension, his stomach taut with effort. Limp and pliant, you lay still while he gently eases your thighs open with a sweep of his hands to look at your cunt. His expression clearly torn between tasting the sticky, slick mess youāve made for him and leaving you be, he wets his bottom lip, before sliding two fingers through the mess, feeding it to Gracie.Ā
Radiating dominance and tightly wound need, he watches as she sucks on his fingers like itās nourishment, scrambling up on her knees to pull him towards her. He jerks the neckline of her nighty down, palming her bare breasts with a squeeze and her hand reaches for his cock, eager for him to fill her. Pushing her backwards, the bed bounces with the weight of their bodies falling together and bracing himself on his forearm, he reaches down to slide into her in one, brutal stroke. One hand fisting into the bedding over her head and the other roughly massaging her breast, the flesh of it spills out between his fingers as he pounds into her, needing to be rough.Ā
Itās a lot, even for her ā but you can tell she loves it. Worked up and waiting for her turn, her fingers dig into his ass, pulling him into her as her hips grind against his. Reaching for her wrist and pinning it into the mattress above her head, he presses his weight into the hold while his hips shove into hers, over and over.Ā
Everything about the way he fucks is so filthy and base. Almost feral, frantic with need. He demands so much from both of you, but also of himself. Edging himself until heās exhausted. Seeing just how long he can go and how many times he can make you come before he allows himself the same pleasure.Ā
āWhat do you think, girl?,ā he asks, looking over at you. āCan she take it?āĀ
Gracie moans loudly at a particularly rough thrust and he turns back to her, clamping his hand tight over her mouth while continuing to push her further. Her dazed eyes widen above his broad hand before rolling back, her brow bunching when they slide shut.Ā
Pressing a kiss over the top of his hand where her lips would be, he shushes her. āShhh. Itās okay, filthy girl. I thought āā he groans, ā ā I thought about making a mess of your pretty little cunt, but I ā fuck ā I think I want it in your mouth instead.ā
At this, Gracie comes ā her legs squeezing tight around his waist, her whines still muffled by his palm as her body arches underneath him. Digging her fingers into his bicep, he holds himself still as she sobs underneath him, trembling with her release.Ā
At the edge himself, he pulls out of her and quickly climbs up over her body, he pinching her cheeks together until her mouth opens up. Fisting his cock with an audible stroke, he rests the tip between her lips and cums, hard.Ā
There is so much of it. Coating her lips and tongue, his release pours into her mouth, dripping down her chin. She sits up, eager for more, swallowing him deeper and he hisses, his hips jerking forward to chase the wet heat. She looks up at him with a warmth of adoration, eager for praise, as his hands cradle her jaw while his hips roll lazily against her mouth. Staying there until heās too sensitive, he slips out and slumps forward, catching himself on the bedframe.Ā
āFuck me,ā he pants, the tension in his muscles slowly ebbing away. Sluggish, he moves like heās drugged and the two of you shift on the bed to make room for him. Him in the middle, he gathers you into his arms, while reaching back to ensure Gracie is tucked tight behind him.Ā
The first time he held you in his arms, you fell asleep immediately, exhausted from all he demanded from you. He slept like the dead as well, finally being able to let his guard down. Tonight, you resist the urge to close your eyes, savoring the warm weight of his arm curled around your waist, and the firm, solid tuck of his body behind yours. Delicately tracing his knuckles, you think about how no other man has ever held you like this. So used to them taking what they want and then leaving, you know you shouldn't get too attached or read too much into itā¦but itās nice, the weight and comfort of his warmth.Ā
In the small hours of the morning, you wake to the sensation of his nose gliding up the nape of your neck, his lips peppering kisses along the top of your spine. The room is dark, before dawn, and rolling over to face him, you see Gracie curled up behind him, dead to the world.Ā
Heās achingly soft with his handling of you: sweeps of his palms over your soft skin, kisses that have you aching for more. Itās hard to see him in the darkness of the room, but that only makes every sensation more heightened. You focus on other senses: his low, rumbling hums, the heat of his skin, the taste of his mouth. His hand teases down the slope of your body, finding a home between your legs. Cupping your cunt, he preps you to take him again.Ā
Swirls over your clit, fingers slipping inside to draw out slick wetness. Bringing the digits to his mouth, he coats them thoroughly with his saliva before bringing them back down to your cunt, easing them into you.Ā
Half awake, everything feels like a dream, saturated with sensation. The weight of his body on yours, the filling push of him inside. His warm breath ghosting over your skin, the press of his mouth along your jaw.Ā
āYouāre such a good girl,ā he murmurs, his forehead sliding against the soft skin on your shoulder, inhaling the scent of your skin. āYou always take me so well. You make me feel so good.ā
Your fingers thread through his curls, guiding his mouth to yours for a kiss. Deep, just like his achingly slow thrusts inside of you. Deep, like the aching feeling in your chest at his tenderness.Ā
Swallowing your moans, he breaks the seal of your mouths just long enough to make whispered promises in the dark: that heās going to come back in a month, that some day heās going to settle down in this town. That someday, heās going to build a house and take you home with him, just to keep you all to himself.
At the last promise, you let out a quiet laugh, tipping your head back into the pillow as he runs the bridge of his nose against your throat, nuzzling the soft skin.Ā
āThey all say that,ā you tease.Ā
You feel him smile. āYeah, youāre right.ā
Knowing that heās going to have to leave soon, you shift your focus on giving him everything he asks for ā your legs hitching high on his hips, your thighs squeezing him tight as he rocks into you, deeper, harder. With every grinding slide, he makes you repeat his words back to him, each statement sounding needier than the last:Ā
No one fucks me like you do.Ā
I canāt think about anything else when youāre deep inside me.Ā
Iām your girl. Only your girl.Ā
When you both come, he rests his head on your chest for a while, listening to the rapid thrumming of your heart as you stroke his soft hair away from his temple. The sun begins its ascent outside, the room slowly becoming hazy with dawn.Ā
With one last kiss for you, and a kiss placed on Gracieās temple, he pulls himself from the bed.Ā
You watch as he searches for his clothes, his belt, his boots.Ā
Your eyes sliding shut, you listen to him slip from the room, shutting the door with a soft click as you roll over into Gracieās warm heat and go back to sleep.

Gosh! This was so good! I love how you settled everything and how you described Din, his size, power, and strength, and the Beskar, as if a piece not only of protection, but also of art, of standing and wealth. He does tend to grow fond of his bounties, doesnāt he?š¤ As soon as her story got revealed, I had a feeling he would see her differently. Heās an honorable and just man at his core. And the ending!! āOnce,ā he says. āNever again.ā This lands so beautifully. And her sass. And his hands on his hips. And his dimple!š« Iām in love with this Din! Thank you so much for sharing. If you write more of him, Iāll run to read it!š¤ā¤ļøā¤ļø
aaaaa WYM HONEY you are such an angel!! Iām so so happy you liked my first attempt at our tin can man :,) I can never resist a din & bounty dynamic, especially when they rock his world. truth be told I feel very drawn to returning to this pairāmaybe one day! thank you sm for reading & sharing sweetheart ily <3
freya, have i ever told you how much i specifically enjoy the witty sides of the characters you write? obviously din isnāt one for a lot of chatting, but a brick wall can be equally fun to see someone else (in duress or otherwise) bounce their complaints and frustrations off on too. equally though, the silence can also draw out a lot of emotional weight from the people around them, almost like talking to yourself. itās always a treat to feel the unspoken way characters like din process information theyāve been givenāit was like we the reader could see the cogs turning, but the reader-insert was of course more occupied by her more immediate pains/concerns. she had a lot of fight in her! ouch, i hate injuries.
anyway, i wanted you to know that youāve done it again. iām feeling very low and have for an exhaustingly long time now, but this was a treat for my heart. - rambling!anon (and of course our knight in question ā„ļø)
MY ANGEL !!! omg you are way too kind. writing snappy dialogue and snarky characters is one of my favorite things and also something thatās so easy to get wrong and sound forcedānothing gives me the cringe like banter that doesnāt landāevery time I have a character running their mouth (looking at you fugitive!reader, nelle, knives) I go over it again and again trying to sort the wittiness thatās just fun to imagine from what flows most believably. all this to say (hey, you got me rambling again!) that this put the biggest smile on my face. my p!boys are men of few words at the best of times, but there was something extra delicious about writing a snappy reader with din who, at least how I imagined him, has by far the least to say but maybe the most going on inside his head.
I canāt lie, Iāve been ruminating on writing a companion piece to the colossus of the story told from dinās povānot just his impression of their āconversationsā (feels a touch of a stretch to call all of them that) but what reader misses when she escapes and he instead is found by his fellow guards, and all the fallout that leads him helmetless to that cabin in the woods. itās just,,,, so tempting. sigh.
Iām really sorry youāve not been doing well for so long. please know I am in my mind palace gathering u up in the biggest bear hug and then tucking you in with a nice drink cozy pillows and a big strong tin can man to cuddle with. are you going to see the movie? Iām about to take off for vacation for a whole month so I suspect I wonāt get to see it for a while, but my gosh Iām ready for helmetless wet!din ahhhhhh
Iām sending you all my love, pal. for real. rn you get all of it <3
