DEAN WAS CLEANING THE SAME gun for the third time that night, and Sam knew it because the slide had already clicked back into place twice before. The bunker was quiet around them, all low lamps, old paper, whiskey breath, and the distant hum of pipes buried deep in the walls. Dean sat at the library table with his boots kicked out, a rag twisted between his fingers, and his jaw set in that particular way Sam had learned to read before either of them were old enough to shave. It meant Dean was irritated, but not in the usual way.
This wasn’t a bad lead, a broken engine, or some smug demon getting under his skin. This was worse because Dean couldn’t shoot it, burn it, salt it, or make a joke mean enough to chase it away. The problem was you, and Sam knew that because he was having the exact same problem on the other side of the table. He had a book open in front of him, some old Men of Letters volume with a cracked spine and tiny print, but he hadn’t taken in a single sentence for the last twenty minutes.
Every few seconds, his eyes moved without permission toward the hallway, where you had disappeared after telling them you were going to change. Dean noticed every time. Sam noticed Dean noticing. Neither of them said a word, which only made the silence feel more guilty.
You had been with them long enough to make the bunker feel different, and Dean hated how much he liked that. You weren’t just another hunter passing through with a fake badge, a half-healed bruise, and a duffel bag full of knives. You had become part of the place in small, stubborn ways, leaving your boots near the stairs, your favourite mug beside the coffee maker, your notes tucked inside books Sam swore nobody else was allowed to annotate.
Dean had complained the first time he found your jacket thrown over the back of his chair, but he hadn’t moved it for three days. Sam had noticed that too. Sam noticed everything when it came to you, which made him feel like a creep on the nights when he caught himself listening for your footsteps in the hall. Dean was less subtle, but he liked to think he wasn’t obvious. He was wrong.
Sam had seen the way Dean watched you when you bent over a pool table during interviews, the way his hand found your shoulder in crowded bars, the way his smile got tight when another man made you laugh too easily. Dean had seen Sam too, though. He had seen the way his brother softened when you said his name, the way Sam’s anger dulled around the edges when you touched his arm, the way he leaned closer when you spoke like the rest of the room had gone quiet.
Dean still remembered the first night they met you because you had walked into the middle of their hunt like a thunderstorm with a shotgun. The case had been ugly from the start, a string of disappearances around an abandoned church in Ohio, the kind with too many bones under the floorboards and not enough locals willing to talk. Sam had been elbow-deep in research for two days, and Dean had been getting twitchy from waiting around, which meant they were both a little too tired and a little too sure of themselves when they went in.
Then the spirit had come out of the walls faster than expected, and Dean had ended up flat on his back in the mud with the breath knocked out of him. You stepped over him, fired a round of rock salt into the dark, and said, “You always let ghosts throw you around like that, or am I special?” Dean had stared up at you, rain dripping off his lashes, too surprised to be annoyed as quickly as he should’ve been. Sam had come running from the other side of the graveyard, flashlight cutting through the downpour, and he had stopped dead when he saw you standing there.
You had blood on your cheek, mud on your jeans, and a look on your face like you had already decided the Winchesters were a full-time headache. By sunrise, you had helped them burn the bones, called their plan reckless, and accepted diner coffee from Sam with both hands curled around the mug. Dean had told himself you were trouble. Sam had thought the same thing, but softer.
After that, you kept crossing paths with them until it stopped feeling like coincidence and started feeling like a choice. Dean would never admit it, but every time your number lit up his phone, something in his chest settled before he even answered. Sam was worse in a quieter way, always asking if you were okay before asking what case you were on, always saving you a seat at the library table when you came through Lebanon.
You teased him for it once, nudging his boot with yours beneath the table, and Sam had gone pink around the ears like he was still capable of being embarrassed by kindness. Dean had laughed at him, of course, but only because your foot had brushed Dean’s ankle next, and his own thoughts had turned dangerous enough to make mockery feel safer. You became the person they both looked for after a hunt, the person they both wanted beside them in the Impala, the person they both pretended not to watch when you were curled up on the couch in one of their stolen flannels.
It wasn’t clean, and it wasn’t simple. Nothing about wanting you had ever been simple. Dean wanted you loudly, even when he tried to hide it. Sam wanted you carefully, which somehow made it worse. The worst part was that you seemed to know.
The hunt that night had only made things uglier between them. You had gone undercover at a bar outside town, all warm smiles and easy laughter, leaning close to some suspect with your hand wrapped around a glass you barely drank from. Dean had watched from a booth with his shoulders stiff and his mouth pressed into a flat line, looking like he might break the table if the man touched you. Sam had been standing near the jukebox, arms folded, expression calm enough to seem harmless to anyone who didn’t know him.
Dean knew him. Dean saw the tension in Sam’s jaw, the way his eyes followed the man’s hand when it drifted too close to your waist. “You gonna glare him to death, Sammy?” Dean had muttered, but his own voice came out rougher than he wanted. Sam hadn’t looked at him right away. He kept watching you smile at a man neither of them trusted, and the old protective instinct twisted into something much more selfish inside him.
“You’re one to talk,” Sam had said finally, low enough that only Dean could hear. The words should’ve ended there, but Dean had looked over just as you laughed at something the man said. His hand tightened around his beer bottle. Sam saw that too, and something bitter and competitive sparked between them before the hunt had even finished.
By the time the three of you got back to the bunker, the air inside the Impala had been thick enough to choke on. Dean drove too fast, one hand loose on the wheel and the other tapping restless patterns against the leather. Sam sat in the passenger seat with his shoulders squared and his eyes on the road, acting like he wasn’t listening to you shift in the backseat.
You were quiet behind them, probably tired, probably amused, probably too aware of the way both brothers had gone tense the second that man at the bar looked at you like you were something he could keep. Dean glanced at you in the rearview mirror more times than he needed to. Sam caught every single look reflected in the glass.
“Case is done,” you said from the backseat eventually, your voice soft but edged with curiosity. “So why do you both look like you’re still hunting something?” Dean huffed, like the answer was ridiculous. Sam didn’t answer at all. That was when Dean knew his brother was in deep, because Sam Winchester only got that silent when the thing he wanted was sitting too close and too far away at the same time.
Now, in the library, Dean kept dragging the rag over the pistol like friction might burn the image of you out of his head. Sam closed the book in front of him with careful hands, the sound small but final. Dean’s eyes snapped up at once, because everything Sam did had started to feel like a challenge tonight. “You gonna actually read that thing, or are you just trying to look thoughtful?” Dean asked, his voice lazy in a way that didn’t fool Sam at all.
Sam leaned back in his chair and looked at his brother over the book, expression mild but eyes sharp. He didn’t answer right away, because he knew Dean hated waiting almost as much as he hated being seen through. The library light caught on Sam’s cheekbones, making him look tired, annoyed, and far too composed for Dean’s liking.
Then Sam looked toward the hallway again, where you still hadn’t reappeared, and Dean felt something hot and ugly move under his ribs. “I’m thinking fine,” Sam said at last, his voice measured. “That’s usually the part where you get nervous.” Dean laughed once, short and humorless, because the comment landed too close to the truth. He set the gun down carefully, which only made him look more dangerous.
You appeared in the doorway before Dean could answer, and both brothers went still in two completely different ways. Dean’s stillness was physical, a sudden pause in his hands, his breathing, his entire posture, like his body had forgotten what it was doing. Sam’s was quieter, but no less obvious, his gaze lifting to you and staying there just long enough to give him away.
You had changed into soft shorts and an oversized shirt, your hair slightly messy, your face bare of the focus you wore on hunts. You looked comfortable in their home, and that did something unbearable to both of them. Dean’s eyes flicked over you before he forced them back to your face, and Sam watched him do it with a tightness gathering in his chest. “You two are doing that thing again,” you said, stepping farther into the room.
Your voice carried easily in the quiet, teasing at first, but there was something underneath it that made Sam’s fingers curl against the arm of his chair. Dean tilted his head, acting confused because denial had always been one of his favorite bad habits. “What thing?” he asked, like he hadn’t been sitting there vibrating with jealousy for the better part of an hour. You looked at Sam instead of answering Dean, and Dean’s smile sharpened.
Sam saw the way Dean reacted to your attention shifting, and he hated the small satisfaction it gave him. You weren’t trying to be cruel. That was the thing that kept ruining them both. You didn’t toss them looks because you wanted to watch them bleed.
You did it because you were honest with your attention, because when you cared, it showed, and when you wanted, that showed too. Sam had seen it in the car, in motel rooms, in the bunker kitchen when you reached over him for coffee and lingered close enough that he could smell your shampoo. He had seen you go warm under Dean’s praise, and he had seen you turn quiet when Sam’s voice softened around your name.
“The thing where you both act like you’re mad at each other, but somehow I’m the one getting stared at,” you said, folding your arms loosely as you leaned against the table. Dean dropped his gaze to the movement for half a second, then dragged it back up, annoyed with himself. Sam looked down at the closed book like it might offer mercy. It didn’t. “Maybe you like being stared at,” Dean said, and the words came out lower than he meant them to. You didn’t flinch. You smiled, and Sam felt the room tilt around it.
Dean knew he should stop there. He knew that tone, that look, that dangerous little space opening between all three of you was exactly the kind of thing that ruined people’s sleep and made mornings complicated. But then Sam looked at you again, and the look on his brother’s face was too careful, too hungry, too patient. Dean hated patience when it came to you. He hated the way Sam could stand there and make restraint look like devotion. “Careful, Dean,” Sam said, and his voice was calm enough that it sounded almost kind. Dean turned his head slowly, brows lifting as if Sam had just done something interesting and stupid at the same time.
There was no raised voice, no slammed glass, no dramatic shove toward violence, but the tension between them snapped tight anyway. You felt it too, because your smile faded into something softer, something more aware. “Careful with what?” Dean asked, though they all knew he wasn’t asking because he didn’t understand. Sam’s eyes stayed on him for a moment, then moved back to you. “With acting like you’re the only one who gets to say things like that to her,” he said. The words landed heavy in the room, and Dean’s grin disappeared.
For a few seconds, nobody moved. The bunker seemed too large around you, too quiet, every small sound suddenly amplified. Dean could hear the faint buzz of the light overhead, the shift of Sam’s breathing, the tiny inhale you took before you tried to hide it.
Sam could hear Dean’s knuckles flex against the table, could see the muscle jumping in his jaw, could feel the old Winchester warning signs lining up one by one. You looked between them, and something in your expression changed from amused to caught. Not scared. Not uncomfortable. Caught, like you’d walked into a room where the truth had been waiting long before you arrived.
“Is that what this is?” you asked, your voice quieter now. “You’re both mad because you think the other one’s getting too close?” Dean wanted to answer fast, something smart and filthy enough to knock the softness out of the moment. He couldn’t. Sam’s gaze dropped briefly to your mouth, then lifted again, and Dean saw it. That was what finally pushed him over the edge.
Dean leaned back in his chair, but there was nothing relaxed about him now. “I think Sam here’s got this idea in his head,” he said, dragging his eyes from his brother back to you, “that if he waits long enough and talks soft enough, you’ll just fall right into his lap.” The sentence should’ve sounded like a joke, but it didn’t. It sounded like an accusation dressed up in Dean’s usual arrogance, and Sam’s face went still in the way that meant the comment had hit exactly where Dean meant it to.
You looked at Sam, and Dean hated himself a little for watching your reaction so closely. Sam didn’t rush to defend himself. That was what made him dangerous. He took his time, sitting back with one hand resting on the closed book, his thumb brushing the worn edge of the cover like he was thinking through every possible consequence before choosing the worst one.
“And Dean thinks if he smirks hard enough and calls you sweetheart,” Sam said, voice low and even, “you’ll forget he’s terrified of wanting anything that wants him back.” Dean’s eyes flashed. You went completely still.
That should’ve been the moment one of them backed down. Sam knew it. Dean knew it. Even you seemed to know it from the way your eyes searched both of their faces, no longer teasing, no longer pretending this was just another argument they’d laugh about later. But the truth was already in the room, and neither brother had ever been good at walking away from something once it started bleeding.
“You both sound ridiculous,” you said, though your voice didn’t have enough force behind it to make either of them believe you meant it. Dean’s mouth tugged up at one corner, but his eyes were too dark for the expression to feel light. Sam’s face softened when he looked at you, and Dean hated that too, hated how Sam could make sincerity look like a weapon.
“Maybe,” Sam said, and his voice gentled in a way that made your fingers tighten around the edge of the table. Dean saw it. Of course he saw it. “Or maybe we’re just done pretending,” Sam added, and the room seemed to shrink around the three of you. Dean’s smile returned slowly, but this time there was no humor in it.
The bet came out of Dean because Dean was always better at turning fear into something reckless. He looked at Sam first, like the idea was meant to challenge him, then at you, like he already knew it would make your breathing change. “Fine,” Dean said, tapping two fingers against the table once. “Since we’re all being honest, maybe we settle it.”
Sam’s brows drew together, suspicion flickering across his face, because he knew that tone and almost never liked where it led. You didn’t ask right away, but your attention sharpened, and Dean felt it like a hand around his throat. He stood slowly, chair scraping against the floor, and Sam’s posture shifted at once, not defensive exactly, but alert. Dean didn’t move toward you yet.
He wasn’t that stupid, and despite everything burning through him, he wasn’t about to make you feel cornered. “Settle what?” you asked finally, and the softness in your voice made Sam’s eyes narrow at Dean in warning. Dean’s gaze stayed on you. “Who makes you break first,” he said. The words dropped low, warm, and dangerous, and your breath caught before you could stop it.
Sam heard that breath and felt every thought in his head go quiet. Dean heard it too, because his eyes darkened with immediate satisfaction, the kind that made Sam want to wipe the look off his face. But Sam didn’t move. Not yet. He watched you instead, watched the way you tried to gather yourself, watched the way your gaze moved from Dean to him like you weren’t sure whether you wanted to run from the fire or step closer to it.
“That’s not a bet,” Sam said after a moment, though his voice had gone rougher than before. Dean glanced at him, pleased that he’d managed to drag that much reaction out of him. “No?” Dean asked. “Sounds like one to me.” Sam stood then, slower than Dean had, and the height of him changed the balance of the room. He kept his hands visible, his distance careful, his focus split between Dean’s challenge and your face. You swallowed, and Sam saw that too. Dean saw Sam see it, and the whole thing turned sharper.
You looked like you were trying to decide whether to laugh or tell them both to get a grip, but the flush at your throat betrayed you. Sam’s expression softened again, and Dean wanted to curse because he knew exactly how effective that would be on you. “You don’t have to play along with anything just because he’s being an idiot,” Sam said, and he aimed the words at you, not Dean.
It should’ve made the moment gentler. Instead, it made Dean’s jealousy flare hotter, because Sam’s concern sounded intimate, like he had already earned a place closer to you than Dean had. You looked at Sam for a long second, and Dean’s fingers curled at his side. “I know,” you said, and your voice was steady enough to make both brothers listen.
You shifted against the table, not backing away, not stepping forward, just staying exactly where you were as if you wanted them to understand that the choice was yours before it was anyone else’s. Then your eyes moved to Dean. “And what makes you so sure I’d beg for either of you?” Dean’s smile came back slow and wicked, but Sam saw the relief underneath it. You hadn’t shut the door. You had opened it wider.
Dean took one step closer, stopping with plenty of space still between you, and Sam clocked the restraint with reluctant approval. Dean was reckless, but not careless with you. That mattered, even if Sam was too wound up to feel generous about it. “Because you like pushing,” Dean said, voice low enough to roughen at the edges. “You push and push, then act surprised when somebody finally pushes back.”
His words made your eyes narrow, but your mouth gave you away, parting just slightly before you pressed it shut. Sam watched the reaction with a strange ache in his chest, equal parts want and irritation. Dean had always known how to hit the obvious nerve first. Sam preferred the hidden ones. He took a step too, not toward Dean, but enough that you felt his presence from the other side.
“And because you’ve been waiting for us to say it,” Sam said, quieter than Dean, but no less certain. Your attention flicked to him, and something vulnerable moved over your face before you buried it. Dean saw that expression and realized with a bitter twist that Sam might be right.
The library had become too warm, or maybe that was just the weight of three people refusing to pretend anymore. You glanced down at the table, then back up, and Dean saw the question in your eyes before you formed it.
“So what?” you asked, and your voice came out softer now, not weak, not shy, just honest in a way that made both men stop posturing for half a second. “You two make a bet over me, and I’m supposed to what? Stand here and let you decide who knows me better?” Sam’s face shifted first, guilt flickering there because the question landed exactly where it needed to. Dean’s jaw tightened, and for once he didn’t have a fast answer.
The silence that followed was different from the one before. Less jealous. More serious. Sam looked at Dean, and Dean looked back, both of them understanding at once that the game ended before it began if you weren’t holding the center of it. “No,” Sam said finally, turning back to you. He spoke carefully, every word chosen with the kind of restraint that made Dean grit his teeth. “You decide if there’s anything to decide.”
Dean nodded once, rough but immediate, because whatever else he was, he wasn’t going to let you think for one second that your wanting didn’t matter more than theirs. “You say no, it’s no,” Dean said, and the cockiness had dropped out of his voice, leaving something rawer underneath.
“You tell us to shut up and go back to pretending we’re normal, we do that too.” Sam almost laughed at that, because none of them were normal, and pretending had never saved them from anything. You noticed the faint movement in his expression and looked at him again. Sam held your gaze, steady and open, though his heart was beating hard enough that he could feel it in his throat.
Dean watched that silent exchange and had to force himself not to interrupt it. That was the worst part of loving you around Sam. Dean wanted to be selfish, but he knew Sam would be good to you. Sam wanted to be patient, but he knew Dean could make you feel wanted in a way that burned bright and immediate. Neither of them could hate the other’s wanting when it looked so much like their own.
You breathed in slowly, and the room seemed to wait with you. Dean’s hands were loose at his sides now, but his whole body looked like restraint had become a physical effort. Sam stood a little farther back, giving you space, though his eyes never left your face. You looked from one brother to the other, taking in Dean’s heat, Sam’s control, the jealousy they had been dragging around like a curse they couldn’t bury.
“And if I don’t tell you to shut up?” you asked. Dean’s expression changed so quickly it almost made Sam roll his eyes, that familiar Winchester grin flickering back with dangerous relief. Sam didn’t smile, not quite, but his gaze deepened, and you saw it. You saw both of them.
That was the thing that had always undone them. Dean stepped closer to the table, careful, still waiting. Sam’s voice came from your other side, low and steady, not rushing you. “Then we talk rules,” he said. Dean’s grin widened just enough to make your stomach twist. “And then,” Dean added, softer now, “we find out who you ask for first.”
You stood there for a few seconds after Dean spoke, and the silence felt different than it had before. It wasn't sharp anymore, and it wasn't angry. It felt exposed, like somebody had finally turned on the lights in a room all three of you had been hiding inside for months.
Dean remained near the table, his shoulders tense despite the confidence in his expression, while Sam stood a little farther away with his hands loose at his sides. Neither of them was pushing. Neither of them was moving closer. For the first time all evening, they were waiting entirely on you. Your heart was beating hard enough that you could feel it in your throat, because you had spent so long imagining this conversation that actually standing inside it felt unreal.
You'd imagined Dean admitting he wanted you. You'd imagined Sam doing the same. You had never imagined both of them standing in the same room, looking at you like this. The possibility of it had always seemed too selfish to say out loud. So you wrapped your arms around yourself, partly for comfort and partly because you suddenly didn't know what to do with your hands.
You had fallen for Dean first, though not in the dramatic way romance novels promised. It happened gradually, hidden inside long drives and late-night diner stops and the way he always made sure you were walking on the inside of the sidewalk without even thinking about it.
Dean was warmth and movement and noise. He was music turned too loud, coffee made too strong, terrible jokes after terrible hunts, and the kind of loyalty that frightened you because it was so complete. He made you laugh when you wanted to stay angry. He made you feel wanted in a way that was impossible to ignore. Every time he called you sweetheart, something inside you tightened despite your best efforts.
You noticed the way his eyes followed you when he thought you weren't paying attention. You noticed how quickly he became protective whenever another hunter got too familiar. There had been moments when his jealousy flashed so openly that you almost reached for his hand without thinking. You knew Dean wanted you because Dean was terrible at hiding it. The problem was that you wanted him back enough to be scared of it.
Sam had happened differently. Sam had happened quietly, slowly, the way dawn arrived when nobody was looking at the sky. You couldn't even identify the exact moment it changed. Maybe it was the first time he stayed awake with you until four in the morning while you researched a case neither of you could solve.
Maybe it was the way he listened whenever you spoke, like your words deserved his complete attention. Maybe it was how careful he became whenever you were hurt, never treating you as fragile but always making sure you weren't carrying pain alone. Sam made you feel seen in places you usually kept hidden. He remembered little things you forgot saying. He noticed when you were tired before you admitted it.
He brought you coffee exactly the way you liked it without ever asking twice. Sometimes he would look at you across the library table with this quiet expression that made your chest ache because it felt so honest. He didn't flirt the way Dean did. He simply stayed close. Somehow that became even more dangerous.
The worst part was that you had realized they both wanted you months ago. Dean's jealousy practically announced itself every time another man smiled at you too long. He became sharper, louder, more possessive in little ways he probably thought nobody noticed. Sam's jealousy was quieter, but you had learned him well enough to recognize it. He would grow still. He would watch.
His voice would become softer in that way it only did when he was trying very hard not to feel something. You had seen Dean glare across bars because someone touched your elbow. You had seen Sam step between you and strangers so naturally that nobody even realized what he was doing.
You knew they both wanted you because nobody looked at another person the way they looked at you without wanting more. The problem wasn't uncertainty. The problem was that you wanted them too. You simply didn't know whether either Winchester could survive hearing that truth.
You had spent months assuming you would eventually have to choose. Some nights, lying awake in your room, you would imagine Dean knocking on your door. Other nights, you imagined Sam staying behind after research and finally saying your name the way he sometimes looked at you.
You never let yourself imagine both of them because it seemed impossible. Dean and Sam loved each other fiercely, but they also competed over everything from pool games to pie. You couldn't imagine either brother being willing to step aside. You couldn't imagine either brother wanting to share something as complicated as feelings. So you stayed quiet.
You laughed off Dean's flirting. You pretended not to notice Sam's lingering looks. You convinced yourself that eventually one of them would move on or find somebody else. Instead, the tension only grew. Sometimes you caught Dean watching you while Sam was talking. Sometimes you caught Sam watching Dean watch you. Those moments made your stomach twist with equal parts hope and guilt.
Dean shifted beside the table, and his voice softened enough to surprise you. "You don't have to answer right now." His eyes remained fixed on you, but there was something gentler behind the heat now. Dean Winchester could be reckless, arrogant, and impulsive, but he wasn't careless with your feelings. That mattered more than he probably realized. Sam nodded slightly from where he stood. "He's right." The agreement between them felt almost stranger than the argument had. You had expected competition.
You had expected jealousy. You had not expected them both to step back at the same time and give you room to breathe. That simple act made your chest ache because it proved what you had secretly suspected all along. Neither one of them wanted to win if winning meant hurting you. Dean folded his arms, looking suddenly uncertain beneath all his confidence. Sam glanced toward the floor briefly before looking back at you.
"I've known for a while," you admitted quietly. Your own voice sounded unfamiliar in the library. Dean blinked first. Sam went completely still. You looked down at your hands because looking directly at them suddenly felt impossible. "Not everything," you clarified. "But enough." Dean let out a breath through his nose. "We're not exactly subtle." His attempt at humour earned the faintest smile from you. Sam's expression softened immediately at the sight of it.
"How long?" he asked. The question was careful, almost hesitant. You thought about it honestly before answering. "Long enough to know Dean gets jealous whenever somebody flirts with me." Dean looked offended for approximately two seconds. "That obvious?" You glanced at him. "Dean, you practically growl."
Dean muttered something under his breath that made Sam smile despite himself. The sight of Sam smiling relaxed something inside you because it reminded you that beneath all the tension, these were still your boys. These were still the men who sat with you during nightmares and brought you food after difficult hunts. Dean rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. "Okay, fair." Sam looked toward you then, his expression more vulnerable than you had ever seen it.
"And me?" he asked. The question carried genuine uncertainty. That almost broke your heart. Sam Winchester, who could read ancient languages and understand monsters nobody else believed in, somehow didn't know whether you had noticed him looking at you. You met his eyes fully. "You look at me like you're trying not to," you said softly. Sam went quiet immediately. Dean looked between the two of you and sighed dramatically.
"Great," Dean said. "So apparently we're both idiots." His voice carried some of its familiar warmth again, which helped ease the tightness sitting between all three of you. You found yourself laughing quietly, more from relief than amusement. The sound seemed to affect both brothers in entirely different ways. Dean smiled automatically because your laughter always did that to him.
Sam relaxed visibly, his shoulders lowering slightly. "You know what the worst part is?" you asked. Dean lifted an eyebrow. Sam waited. You swallowed before continuing. "I didn't know if either of you would be okay with me..." Your voice trailed off. Dean's expression changed first. Sam's followed immediately afterward. Neither of them interrupted. Neither of them rushed you. The patience of it gave you courage.
"I thought eventually I'd have to pick one of you," you admitted. The confession settled heavily into the room. Dean's jaw tightened slightly. Sam's eyes lowered for a moment before returning to you. "Because I knew how I felt about Dean." You looked toward him briefly.
Dean's expression had gone completely serious now. "And I knew how I felt about Sam." Sam looked almost startled hearing his name spoken like that. Your heart hammered against your ribs because these words had lived inside you for so long that speaking them felt impossible.
"But I never knew if..." You paused again. Dean took a slow breath. Sam remained perfectly still. "I never knew if either of you could handle hearing that I didn't want to choose." The honesty of it left you feeling exposed. Dean's eyes widened slightly. Sam looked almost stricken.
The silence afterward wasn't uncomfortable. It was simply full. Dean looked toward his brother for the first time in several minutes. Sam met his gaze. Whatever passed between them happened quietly, years of understanding condensed into a few seconds of eye contact. You watched them looking at one another, and it hit you again how much you cared about both of them together.
Dean brought out pieces of Sam that nobody else could. Sam steadied parts of Dean that nobody else could reach. You loved their arguments, their loyalty, their ability to communicate entire conversations through glances. You had never wanted to come between them. If anything, the idea terrified you. "You two matter too much to each other," you said quietly.
Dean looked back at you immediately. Sam did the same. "I never wanted to be the reason something changed between you." Dean's expression softened so completely it almost hurt to see. Sam looked like he understood exactly what you meant.
Dean rubbed his thumb against his lower lip before speaking. "Sweetheart, we've been driving each other insane for forty years." The faint humour helped. You smiled despite yourself. Sam shook his head slightly. "You're not ruining anything." His voice carried absolute certainty. Dean nodded immediately afterward. "Seriously." The reassurance settled somewhere deep inside your chest. You had spent months fearing this exact conversation because you assumed somebody would lose. You assumed somebody would get hurt.
Instead, both brothers stood there looking at you with the same impossible tenderness. Their jealousy suddenly made more sense. Their arguments made more sense. The longing looks and tense silences and protective instincts all fit together now. They hadn't only been afraid of losing you. They had been afraid of losing each other too.
You looked between them again, suddenly overwhelmed by how much you appreciated the ridiculous honesty of the evening. The bet itself was stupid. Childish, even. It sounded exactly like something Dean Winchester would invent because he didn't know what else to do with his feelings. Sam clearly knew that too, judging by the look he gave his brother. But beneath the ridiculousness sat something that touched you more than you expected.
Two men you loved had spent months wanting you enough to become jealous. They had noticed each other's feelings because they were both paying attention to you. They had reached a point where pretending no longer worked. Dean wanted you enough to risk rejection. Sam wanted you enough to admit it aloud. That knowledge settled warmly inside your chest. You looked down briefly, suddenly shy in a way that hunting monsters had never made you feel. "The bet is kind of stupid," you said quietly.
Dean immediately groaned. "Knew it." Sam rubbed a hand across his face. "Dean..." The embarrassment on both their faces made your smile widen slightly. You shook your head before either of them could retreat completely.
"No, I mean it is." Dean looked resigned. Sam looked apologetic. You took a slow breath. "But..." That single word brought both their eyes back to you immediately. You could see hope there now, carefully hidden but unmistakable. Your pulse jumped harder. "I appreciate it too."
Dean frowned slightly, confused. Sam looked curious. You folded your arms more tightly across yourself, suddenly aware of how vulnerable you felt. "Knowing that you both want me enough to be jealous." The confession made Dean inhale sharply. Sam's eyes softened again. Neither of them spoke.
Your cheeks had begun warming several minutes ago, but now the heat spread fully across your face. Dean noticed immediately because Dean noticed everything physical about you. Sam noticed because he noticed everything else. The library suddenly felt too quiet again. You looked at Dean and saw all that heat and confidence hiding uncertainty underneath. You looked at Sam and saw all that patience concealing the exact same fear.
They wanted answers. They wanted reassurance. More than anything, they wanted to know whether this conversation was about to end with disappointment. Your fingers tightened against your sleeves. Your stomach twisted hard enough to make you dizzy. Dean opened his mouth like he might speak, but stopped himself. Sam waited. Both of them waited.
You finally looked up, your face warm and your heart pounding, and met both their eyes at once. Dean seemed almost afraid to move. Sam looked like he was holding his breath. The weight of months sat between all three of you. The jealousy. The pining. The late nights. The stolen looks. The fear of saying the wrong thing. You swallowed once, and your voice came out softer than you intended.
"What if..." Dean's expression changed immediately. Sam took the smallest step forward before stopping himself. You could feel yourself blushing now, unable to hide it anymore. Your eyes moved from Dean to Sam and back again. For the first time all evening, you allowed yourself to say the truth exactly as it existed. "What if I want both of you?"
Neither brother answered at first. Dean’s mouth parted, but whatever quick remark had been waiting on his tongue disappeared before it could leave him. Sam’s breath left him slowly, his expression shifting from surprise to something so openly hopeful that you nearly had to look away.
You could almost see both of them replaying your words, searching for some hidden condition or cruel misunderstanding. Dean looked at Sam, and for once there was no challenge in it, only a silent question that carried the weight of everything they had already admitted.
Sam met his gaze steadily, his throat moving as he swallowed. The jealousy between them hadn’t vanished, but something inside it had softened, becoming less like a weapon and more like a fear they finally shared. Then Dean let out a quiet, disbelieving laugh and dragged one hand down his face.
“Both of us,” Dean repeated, testing the words like he wasn’t entirely convinced he was allowed to believe them. You nodded, though the movement was small because your nerves had started making your whole body feel strangely weightless. Sam watched your face closely, careful even now, like he needed to make certain your answer wasn’t coming from pressure or panic. “You’re sure?” he asked, his voice rougher than before despite how gently he spoke.
“I’m sure,” you said, forcing yourself to hold his gaze even as warmth spread down your neck. Dean’s eyes moved over your expression, searching for hesitation, and some of the tension finally left his shoulders when he didn’t find any. Sam took a slow breath, the smallest smile pulling at the corner of his mouth. “Then we can work with that,” he said, and Dean turned toward him with his eyebrows raised.
“We can work with it,” Dean agreed, though his tone made it clear he was already imagining several ways to prove that point. Sam gave him a warning look, but there was no real anger behind it anymore. “That doesn’t mean this is going to be simple,” Sam said, looking between you and Dean.
Dean scoffed softly and folded his arms, trying to disguise how vulnerable the moment had made him. “Nothing with us is simple, Sammy.” His gaze settled on you again, his expression losing some of its teasing edge. “I’m gonna get jealous,” he admitted, the honesty sounding almost uncomfortable in his mouth. Sam glanced at him before adding quietly, “So will I.”
“I don’t need either of you to pretend you won’t,” you told them. Dean’s eyes narrowed slightly, not suspicious, but attentive in a way that meant every word mattered. Sam stepped closer to the table, though he still kept enough distance to let you breathe. “Then we talk about it when it happens,” he said.
“No turning it into some competition where one of you has to win,” you added, giving Dean a pointed look. Dean placed a hand over his chest with exaggerated offence, but the faint colour rising along his neck betrayed him. “I have no idea why you’re looking at me.” Sam’s mouth twitched before he said, “And no making decisions for her because you think you know what she wants.”
“And neither of you gets to pull away without telling me why,” you continued, looking at Sam this time. His expression changed immediately because he understood exactly why that rule belonged to him. Dean glanced at his brother, some quiet recognition passing over his face before he looked back at you. “Fair,” Sam said, though the word came out softer now. Dean nodded once, the gesture firm and immediate.
“Yeah, fair.” The agreement settled between you, fragile but real, and the last of the earlier hostility seemed to drain from the room. What remained was heavier in a completely different way, all anticipation, heat, and three people suddenly aware that nothing stood between wanting and acting on it except permission.
Sam moved first, but only by a single step. Dean followed more slowly, circling the edge of the table until the two of them stood on opposite sides of you. You stayed exactly where you were, your palms pressed lightly against the worn wood behind you as your heartbeat climbed higher.
Sam raised one hand, stopping before his fingers reached your face. The restraint in that unfinished movement made your stomach tighten more than confidence ever could. “Can I touch you?” he asked, his eyes fixed on yours. “Yes,” you whispered. His fingertips brushed along your cheek so carefully that the tenderness of it almost hurt.
Dean came closer behind you, near enough that the warmth of him reached your back without his body touching yours yet. “Still okay?” he asked, his voice lower beside your ear, stripped of every joke he usually used to protect himself. “Yes,” you answered again, more steadily this time. His palm settled at your waist, broad and warm through the thin fabric of your shirt.
Sam watched your reaction, his thumb tracing once beneath your cheekbone while Dean’s fingers flexed gently against your side. Being held between them should have felt overwhelming, but instead it felt like the answer to a question your body had been asking for months. “You two are being suspiciously careful,” you murmured, trying to disguise how uneven your breathing had become. Dean’s quiet laugh brushed across the side of your neck as he said, “Don’t worry, sweetheart, we’re just getting started.”
Sam’s expression darkened at Dean’s words, though the change wasn’t directed at his brother this time. He leaned down slowly, giving you every chance to turn your head or change your mind. “Tell me if you want me to stop,” he murmured, his breath warm against your lips. You answered by curling your fingers into the front of his shirt and pulling him the final inch toward you.
The first kiss was softer than you expected, a careful press of his mouth against yours that lasted only long enough to make you chase him when he began to pull away. Something in Sam snapped at the movement. His second kiss landed harder, his hand sliding from your cheek to your jaw as he tilted your face upward and kissed you with a hunger that didn’t match his usual gentleness. A quiet sound escaped you before you could swallow it, and Dean’s grip tightened instantly at your waist.
Dean pressed closer behind you, his chest finally meeting your back while Sam kept your attention trapped in front of you. One of Dean’s hands spread over your stomach, holding you securely as his mouth brushed beneath your ear. The touch sent a shiver through you, and Sam felt it in the way your fingers clenched harder around his shirt.
“Didn’t know Sammy had that in him, did you?” Dean murmured, his lips grazing the sensitive skin below your jaw. Sam broke the kiss just enough to glare past you at his brother, though his swollen mouth ruined any real attempt at intimidation. “You talk too much,” Sam said, his voice low and strained. Dean smiled against your neck. “She usually likes it.”
You turned your head before Dean could say anything else and caught his mouth with yours. He made a surprised sound that quickly deepened into a rough groan, his hand pulling you more firmly against him as he returned the kiss without hesitation. Dean kissed exactly the way you had always imagined, hot, demanding, and almost impatient, like he had spent too long restraining himself to waste another second.
Sam’s hand remained against your jaw, his thumb stroking over your skin while he watched, the jealousy in his eyes tangled tightly with fascination. You reached for him blindly, catching his wrist and keeping him close so he couldn’t mistake your attention shifting for rejection.
His expression softened immediately, and Dean felt the movement, breaking the kiss with a breathless smile. “Look at that,” he murmured, his forehead resting briefly against yours. “Already making sure neither one of us gets left out.”
“I meant what I said,” you whispered, still holding Sam’s wrist while Dean’s hand stayed firm at your waist. Sam stepped closer until there was hardly any space left in front of you, his body boxing you gently between both brothers without making you feel trapped. “We know,” he said, though the wonder in his voice suggested he was still trying to believe it. Dean brushed his nose against your temple, his breathing warm and uneven beside your face.
“And we meant it too,” he added. Sam’s eyes moved briefly to Dean’s, and whatever silent conversation passed between them ended with both men turning their attention back to you. The jealousy would come, and so would arguments, mistakes, and all the complicated pieces none of you could solve tonight.
But when Sam kissed you again and Dean’s arms tightened around you from behind, you realised complication had never frightened you as much as losing this chance would have.
Dean’s chest pressed harder into your back as Sam crowded closer in front of you, their bodies hemming you in without either brother touching the other. The thin fabric of your shirt did nothing to soften the heat pouring from both of them, and every breath you took made your body brush against Sam’s while Dean’s arms tightened around your waist. Dean’s erection pushed thick and unmistakable against the curve of your ass, his hips giving one involuntary roll before he caught himself with a rough exhale against your neck.
Sam was no better, the hard length of him pressing against your lower stomach through his jeans whenever you leaned into his kiss. “Feel what you’ve done to us, sweetheart?” Dean murmured, sounding far too pleased with himself for a man whose breathing had already gone ragged. You rolled your hips backward just enough to make him groan, then pressed forward into Sam until his jaw tightened and his hand closed around your waist.
Sam caught your chin between his fingers and kissed you slowly, but the controlled pace only made the hunger beneath it more obvious. “Still good?” he asked against your mouth, his eyes dark and fixed on yours. “I want more than good,” you whispered, and both men reacted like the words had struck straight through them.
Dean’s hands slid beneath the hem of your oversized shirt, his palms spreading over the bare skin of your stomach while Sam lifted the fabric carefully from the front. “Arms up,” Sam said, and the softness of his instruction made you obey before you even had time to tease him. Dean helped pull the shirt over your head from behind, letting it fall somewhere beside the table while Sam’s gaze dropped openly to your chest. The shorts came next, Dean hooking his fingers into the waistband while Sam steadied you with both hands at your hips.
“You boys always this coordinated?” you asked, breath catching when the material slid down your thighs. “Only when there’s something worth working together for,” Dean replied, pressing a kiss to your shoulder as you stepped free of the shorts. Sam crouched briefly to guide them over your feet, his knuckles brushing your calf before he rose again with a look that made your knees feel loose.
Your underwear remained in place for only another second before Dean traced the damp fabric between your legs and let out a low, satisfied sound. “Sammy,” he said, voice thick with amusement, “she’s already soaked.”
Heat rushed across your face, but Sam’s expression turned reverent rather than smug as he took in the sight of you standing bare between them. Your breasts rose and fell with every unsteady breath, full and soft beneath his gaze, their weight shifting slightly whenever Dean moved you against him. Your nipples had tightened into hard little peaks from the cool air and the attention, and Sam brushed the back of one finger over the nearest one as though he couldn’t resist testing your reaction.
The light touch made you gasp, your chest arching instinctively toward his hand while Dean cupped your other breast from behind. “Sensitive,” Dean observed, rolling your nipple gently between his thumb and forefinger until your thighs pressed together. Sam’s eyes followed the movement, then dropped lower when Dean slid your underwear down and exposed the wet shine gathered along your folds.
You were slick enough that the inner curves of your thighs glistened, the evidence of your arousal impossible to hide even before Dean spread you slightly with two careful fingers. A slightly unruly patch of pubic hair rested above your pussy, soft and natural, and Dean’s grin deepened when he noticed the way you tried to glance down at yourself. “Don’t you dare get shy now,” he murmured, kissing beneath your ear while Sam said softly, “You’re beautiful exactly like this.”
You turned in Dean’s arms before either man could keep staring without consequence, catching the hem of Sam’s shirt and tugging it upward. Sam lifted his arms and let you strip it away, his broad chest and defined stomach coming into view beneath the warm library light. Dean made an impatient sound behind you, so you reached back and dragged at his shirt too until he laughed and pulled it off himself.
Their jeans were harder to manage with your hands shaking, but you worked Sam’s belt loose first while Dean kissed your shoulder and offered entirely unhelpful commentary. “Easy there, sweetheart, you break the giant and I’m not carrying him,” Dean said, earning a flat look from Sam and a breathless laugh from you. Sam’s cock sprang free when you pushed his jeans and underwear down, long, thick, and flushed dark at the head, a bead of precum already shining at the tip.
Your mouth went dry at the sight, and Sam’s stomach tightened when your fingers wrapped experimentally around his shaft. Dean stepped out of his own jeans beside you, revealing himself just as hard, his cock slightly shorter than Sam’s but heavy and broad, the veins standing out along its length as it curved toward his stomach. “Still think the bet was stupid?” Dean asked, and you answered by stroking them both once, making their teasing disappear into matched groans.
They guided you toward the couch with a hand at each hip, not rushing you but leaving no doubt about where they wanted you. Dean reached it first and dropped onto the cushions on his back, stretching his body along the length of the couch with his legs parted and his cock hard against his stomach. “C’mere,” he said, curling two fingers toward you while his eyes dragged over your naked body.
Sam stayed behind you, one palm sliding down the line of your spine as you climbed onto the couch between Dean’s legs. You settled on your knees facing Dean, your hands braced against his thighs while he watched you with a mixture of hunger and disbelief. “You’ve thought about this,” you accused, leaning close enough that your breath warmed the head of his cock. “Every damn time you wore my flannel with nothing under it,” Dean admitted, his voice cracking slightly when your lips brushed him.
Sam knelt on the couch behind you, his thighs framing yours without touching Dean, and gathered your hair away from your face so Dean could see you clearly. “Show him what he’s been imagining,” Sam murmured near your ear, and the command sent a fresh pulse of wetness down your thighs.
You wrapped one hand around Dean’s shaft and licked slowly over the bead of precum at his tip, tasting salt as his abdomen clenched beneath you. His head fell back against the couch with a rough groan, but he forced himself to look down again when you opened your mouth around the broad head. “Fuck, sweetheart,” he breathed, one hand fisting in the cushion instead of grabbing you before you invited it.
You took him deeper a little at a time, letting your tongue flatten along the underside while your hand worked what your mouth couldn’t yet fit. Dean’s hips twitched upward, then stopped when Sam planted a steadying hand against your lower back and gave him a warning look over your shoulder. “Don’t make her choke because you can’t control yourself,” Sam said, though his own voice sounded strained from watching your lips stretch around Dean.
Dean laughed breathlessly and threaded his fingers into your hair with deliberate care, guiding rather than forcing as you bobbed your head. “Hear that?” he murmured, eyes locked on your face while you hollowed your cheeks around him, “Sammy’s pretending he isn’t dying back there.” Sam answered by sliding two fingers through your soaked folds, and your moan vibrated around Dean’s cock hard enough to make him swear.
Sam stroked you from behind with slow, deliberate passes, spreading your wetness from your entrance to your swollen clit while you continued sucking Dean. Each glide of his fingers made your hips rock backward, your body asking for more even while your mouth stayed full. “So wet,” Sam said, the words almost lost beneath Dean’s ragged breathing.
He pressed one finger inside you, then a second, curling them until your knees shifted wider on the cushion and another muffled cry escaped around Dean. Dean looked wrecked beneath you, his lips parted and his chest rising hard as he watched Sam prepare you without ever looking directly at him. “That’s it,” Dean praised, brushing your hair back from your flushed face, “take what you need from him while you take care of me.”
Sam withdrew his fingers only when your pussy was clenching greedily around them, and you heard the slick sound of his hand closing around his own cock behind you. He rubbed the thick head slowly through your folds, coating himself in your arousal and nudging your clit just enough to make your whole body shake. “Tell me you want it,” Sam said, one hand gripping your hip while the other lined his cock up with your entrance.
You pulled off Dean just long enough to drag in a breath, your hand continuing to stroke him as you looked back over your shoulder at Sam. “I want you inside me,” you said, voice shaking with need, “and I want Dean in my mouth while you do it.” Dean made a broken sound beneath you and guided your face back toward his cock, his thumb brushing affectionately over your swollen lower lip. Sam pushed forward slowly, the broad head of him stretching your entrance before the first thick inch slipped inside.
Your mouth opened on a cry, and Dean used the moment to slide between your lips again, groaning when the sound closed hot around him. Sam paused with both hands firm on your hips, giving your body time to adjust as your pussy fluttered tightly around the length already inside you. “You’re squeezing me so hard,” he whispered, bending over your back to kiss your shoulder while keeping his body carefully separate from Dean’s.
Dean stroked your cheek and smiled down at you with ruined, hungry tenderness, saying, “Look at you, taking both of us exactly the way you wanted.”
Your lips closed around Dean again, swallowing the low groan that tore from his chest when your tongue dragged firmly along the underside of his cock. Dean’s hand slid from your cheek into your hair, his fingers gathering it carefully before he tightened his grip enough to hold your head steady. “That’s it, sweetheart,” he breathed, watching your mouth stretch around him with a look of ruined fascination. You hollowed your cheeks and sucked as you moved, taking him deeper with every downward stroke until the broad head pushed against the back of your throat.
He started guiding you gently, testing the rhythm before giving a slow thrust upward that made your eyes water. Each push of his hips fed more of his cock into your mouth, and you relaxed your throat around him as best you could, letting him feel how willingly you took it. His cock dragged hot and heavy over your tongue while his thumb stroked the side of your face, the tenderness of the gesture contrasting obscenely with the way he used your mouth.
“Tap my thigh if you need me to stop,” Dean reminded you, his voice strained despite the careful seriousness in his eyes. You answered by gripping his leg and sucking harder, making his head fall back against the couch with a broken curse.
Once he felt you settle into the rhythm, Dean’s control began slipping, his hips lifting more firmly as he fucked into the wet heat of your mouth. His fingers stayed tangled in your hair, holding you exactly where he wanted while he drew you down until your nose nearly brushed the coarse hair at the base of his cock. He rolled his hips upward again, slow enough to let you breathe between thrusts but deep enough that your throat tightened around him.
You let saliva spill from the corners of your mouth, slicking his shaft and your swollen lips as he pulled back before pressing deep again. Tears gathered along your lashes from the repeated stretch, and Dean wiped one away with his free thumb without slowing. Dean groaned when you swallowed around him, his stomach flexing beneath your hands as the muscles in his thighs tightened.
“You look so fucking pretty with your mouth full,” he praised, his voice turning rougher when you moaned around his cock. The praise made you press backward instinctively, silently begging Sam to give you more at the same time. Sam’s hand tightened around your hip as he understood the movement, and his next thrust drove deeper into your soaked pussy.
Sam fucked you with long, forceful strokes, drawing nearly all the way out before sinking back inside until his hips met the soft curve of your ass. His hips established a steady rhythm that rocked your entire body forward onto Dean’s cock each time he buried himself inside you. The angle had the thick head of him rubbing somewhere deep that made your thighs tremble and your fingers dig into Dean’s legs.
One hand remained firm on your hip, controlling your movement, while the other slid around your body and found your swollen clit. “Spread your knees a little wider for me,” Sam instructed, his breath breaking when your pussy clenched around him. You obeyed immediately, opening yourself farther and giving his fingers more room to work between your thighs.
His fingertips rubbed tight circles over your clit, slick with the wetness that coated you both, while his cock continued stretching and filling you from behind. The pressure built so quickly that your stomach pulled tight, every thrust grinding his fingers harder against the sensitive bundle of nerves. Your moan vibrated around Dean’s cock, making him thrust into your mouth with a groan while Sam whispered, “There she is.”
Sam felt your body beginning to unravel before you could warn him, your pussy fluttering rapidly around his cock while your hips chased his fingers. “Right there?” he asked, already knowing the answer from the desperate way you pushed backward against him. He kept his thrusts deep and measured, grinding into you instead of pulling away as his fingers rubbed your clit faster.
Your knees shifted unsteadily on the couch, and Sam tightened his arm around your waist to keep you supported between them. Dean slowed the movement of your head, giving you room to breathe while still keeping his cock resting heavily against your tongue. He held your gaze as your eyes lifted toward him, his expression softening despite the raw hunger carved across his face. “Cum for him, sweetheart,” Dean encouraged, stroking your wet cheek while Sam drove into you again.
Sam pinched your clit lightly between two fingers before rubbing it with firm, rapid strokes, his mouth pressed close to your shoulder as he praised how tightly you were taking him. The combined pressure of Sam filling you, his fingers working your clit, and Dean’s cock pulsing inside your mouth finally dragged you over the edge.
Your orgasm tore through you with enough force to make your entire body lock between them, a muffled cry breaking around Dean’s cock as your thighs shook violently. Your pussy clamped down around Sam in repeated waves, squeezing him so tightly that his thrusts faltered and a harsh groan ripped from his chest.
Sam swore against your skin, holding himself deep inside you while his fingers continued rubbing your clit through every helpless contraction. Dean pulled his cock back enough to let you gasp for air, his hand still supporting your head while he watched your face crumple with pleasure. You shook beneath Sam’s hands, your hips twitching uncontrollably as slick wetness spread over his cock and down your inner thighs. “Good girl,” Sam murmured, pressing slow kisses along your shoulder while your pussy continued pulsing around him.
Sam kept his movements shallow until the overstimulation made you whimper, then finally stilled and let his hand rest warmly over your lower stomach. Dean withdrew from your mouth completely, his cock shining with your saliva and still hard enough to throb against his abdomen. Neither brother let himself cum, both of them visibly straining against the need because they had already decided they weren’t finished sharing you.
For a moment, all three of you stayed tangled together while you struggled to catch your breath, your body loose and trembling from the orgasm. Dean brushed your damp hair away from your forehead, looking far too smug for someone whose cock was still flushed and aching beside your face. “We’re not done with you yet,” he said, tracing your swollen lower lip with his thumb before glancing toward Sam. Sam eased out of your pussy slowly, watching the way your stretched entrance clenched around nothing once he was gone.
“Swap?” Sam asked, wrapping one slick hand around his cock and stroking himself once as he waited for your reaction. Dean’s grin sharpened while your exhausted body immediately stirred with fresh heat at the suggestion. They moved carefully around you, never touching one another as Sam stepped away from the couch and Dean shifted into a seated position.
Dean sat with his back against the cushions and his legs spread, his erection standing thick and rigid between his thighs. He reached for your hips and guided you around until you were hovering above him with your back facing his chest.
You lowered yourself onto Dean slowly, the broad head of his cock pressing through your soaked folds before stretching your sensitive entrance open again. Dean’s cock sank into you inch by inch, thicker than Sam’s in a way that made your pussy burn pleasantly as it adjusted around him. He groaned into the back of your neck when your ass finally settled against his lap and he was buried completely inside you. “Back against me, sweetheart,” he instructed, wrapping one arm firmly around your waist and drawing you against his chest.
You settled against him, your head resting briefly on his shoulder while his cock pulsed deep inside your still fluttering pussy. Dean planted his feet against the floor and lifted your hips before pulling you down again, making you gasp at the sudden force of the thrust. He thrust upward into you repeatedly, using his arm around your waist to bounce you against his lap as your wetness coated his cock.
Your breasts jiggled freely with every hard movement, the soft weight of them bouncing as Dean drove you up and down over his length. Dean cupped one from behind and squeezed it, rolling your stiff nipple between his fingers while he murmured, “Look at these pretty fucking tits bouncing for me.”
Sam stepped in front of you, towering over the couch with his cock still slick from your pussy and flushed dark from holding himself back. His cock twitched near your face, precum gathering thickly at the tip while he watched Dean make your body bounce in his lap. You wrapped one hand around Sam’s shaft and stroked him slowly, spreading the slickness along every hot inch as your lips parted beneath him. “Open up for me,” Sam said, catching your chin gently and tipping your face upward while Dean continued thrusting from below.
You did, extending your tongue so Sam could drag the swollen head across it before pushing his cock between your lips. Sam used your mouth at his chosen pace, one hand cradling the back of your head as he slid over your tongue and pressed carefully into your throat. Your free hand continued stroking the base of his cock whenever his hips pulled back, twisting your wrist and squeezing firmly enough to make his breath hitch. Dean thrust harder every time Sam pushed into your mouth, making your breasts bounce wildly while his fingers pinched and tugged your nipple.
Caught between Dean’s cock pounding into your pussy and Sam fucking your mouth above him, you could only moan around Sam’s length while both brothers praised how perfectly you took them.
Sam’s cock slid deeper into your mouth as Dean thrust upward beneath you, forcing a broken moan from your throat that vibrated around Sam’s length. Every drive of Dean’s hips lifted your body, making your lips move along Sam’s shaft while your hand tightened around the slick base of his cock. Dean’s arm stayed locked around your waist, holding your back firmly against his chest as he fucked into your dripping pussy from below.
Your breasts bounced with every impact, the soft flesh jiggling uncontrollably while Dean’s free hand squeezed and kneaded one of them. “That’s it, sweetheart, let him use that pretty mouth,” Dean groaned against your ear, pinching your hardened nipple until you whimpered around Sam. You sucked harder, hollowing your cheeks as Sam pushed forward and let the head of his cock press into your throat.
Sam’s fingers tightened in your hair, keeping your face tilted upward while he watched your watering eyes and saliva-coated lips. “You’re taking me so well,” he praised, dragging himself almost completely out before sliding back across your tongue. The sensation of being filled at both ends left you helpless between them, your wet pussy clenching around Dean every time Sam’s cock reached deep into your mouth.
Dean felt every contraction around him, and each tight pulse made his control fracture a little more. He planted his feet harder against the floor and drove his cock upward in forceful strokes, bouncing you on his lap until your ass slapped repeatedly against his thighs. Your slick coated the full length of him, gathering around the base of his cock and smearing across his skin whenever he buried himself completely. “Fuck, you’re soaked,” Dean muttered, slipping his hand from your breast down over your stomach.
His fingers found your swollen clit and rubbed it in rough circles while his other arm continued holding you in place. Your whole body jolted, forcing Sam’s cock deeper as you cried out around him. Sam paused long enough to let you breathe through your nose, his thumb brushing tenderly beneath one of your tear-bright eyes.
“Too much?” he asked, despite the dark hunger in his expression and the way his cock throbbed against your tongue. You shook your head urgently and stroked him faster, making Sam’s restraint disappear beneath a low, ragged groan.
Sam began fucking your mouth more steadily, guiding your head onto his cock while meeting each movement with a controlled thrust of his hips. The swollen head pressed against the back of your throat again and again, leaving you gagging softly while saliva slipped down your chin. His free hand cupped your jaw, feeling the shape of himself through your cheek as your mouth stretched around his thickness.
“Look at me,” Sam instructed, slowing just enough for you to lift your watery gaze to his. You obeyed, sucking hard as he withdrew, your tongue following the sensitive underside until only the tip remained between your lips. Sam’s breath hitched when you swirled your tongue around the head and dragged your fist firmly along the rest of his shaft.
“She knows exactly what she’s doing,” Dean said, his voice rough with pride while he continued pounding upward into you. Dean’s fingers pressed harder against your clit, matching the rhythm of his thrusts until your thighs began trembling around his legs. You moaned Sam’s name with your mouth still full, the muffled sound making his cock jerk against your tongue.
Dean kissed the side of your neck while his cock drove into the deepest part of you, each thrust forcing your body upward before he pulled you down again. Your breasts bounced wildly in front of Sam, your nipples stiff and flushed while Dean’s hand occasionally left your clit to slap lightly against the underside of one breast. The soft impact made your chest jiggle harder and sent another surge of wetness around Dean’s cock.
“These gorgeous fucking tits,” Dean breathed, cupping both breasts briefly and squeezing them together. Sam looked down at your body, watching Dean’s cock disappear into your pussy without directing any touch or attention toward his brother. His gaze stayed fixed on you, on your open mouth, bouncing chest, and the desperate movements of your hand around his shaft.
“You like being watched?” Sam asked, pulling his cock free so you could answer. “I like knowing what I’m doing to both of you,” you gasped, still bouncing helplessly on Dean’s cock. Dean laughed against your shoulder and thrust hard enough to cut your next breath into a sharp cry.
Sam tapped the heavy head of his cock against your tongue, smearing precum over your lips while your hand pumped him from base to tip. “Then look at what you’re doing to me,” he said, guiding your gaze downward to the flushed length twitching in your fist. You licked the precum from his slit before taking him back into your mouth, drawing a curse from him as your lips closed tightly around the head.
Dean’s fingers returned to your clit and rubbed faster, making your pussy squeeze around him so hard that his hips stuttered. “Easy,” Dean warned breathlessly, though he sounded like he was speaking to himself more than you. You deliberately clenched again, earning a strained groan and a sharp bite against your shoulder. “Trying to make me cum before your boyfriend up there?” Dean asked, his tone teasing despite how close he clearly was.
Sam’s eyes darkened at the word, but his expression softened when you reached up and squeezed his cock possessively. “They’re both yours,” Sam murmured, thrusting back into your mouth while Dean answered, “Damn right we are.”
The renewed claim sent a fierce wave of arousal through you, and Dean felt fresh wetness spill around his thrusting cock. His fingers circled your clit relentlessly, occasionally pressing directly against it until your body jerked and your nails dug into Sam’s thigh. Sam kept fucking your mouth while you stroked the portion you couldn’t take, twisting your wrist around the slick shaft each time he pulled back.
Your breathing became ragged through your nose, broken by wet choking sounds whenever he pressed farther down your throat. “You’re close again,” Sam observed, recognizing the frantic trembling running through your body. Dean slowed his thrusts into deep, grinding movements, keeping his cock buried while he rubbed your clit with firm strokes.
“Go ahead, sweetheart,” Dean whispered, his lips brushing your ear as his fingers tightened around your waist. “Cum on my cock while you suck Sammy off.” Your pussy spasmed immediately at the command, the first hard contraction dragging a hoarse groan from Dean’s chest.
Your second orgasm built more slowly than the first, gathering beneath Dean’s fingers until every part of you felt stretched tight and unbearably sensitive. Dean kept grinding his cock into you, rubbing deep against your inner walls while his fingertips worked your clit without mercy. Sam pulled out of your mouth so he could hear you, wrapping one hand around his cock as he watched your face crumple with pleasure.
You cried out when the orgasm broke, your head falling back against Dean’s shoulder while your pussy clenched rhythmically around him. Your thighs shook violently, and your breasts bounced from the involuntary movements as Dean continued thrusting through every pulse. “Fuck, that’s it,” Dean groaned, holding you down on his cock while your wetness soaked his lap.
Sam stroked himself faster in front of you, his fist gliding over the slick length while he watched you tremble. Dean’s fingers slowed over your clit only when your whimpers turned breathless and overstimulated. He kissed your flushed cheek and murmured, “You’re gonna make it real hard for us to keep holding back.”
You reached for Sam before the last tremors had faded, wrapping your hand around his cock and guiding him back toward your mouth. Sam groaned at your eagerness, sliding the head between your lips while Dean resumed slow, powerful thrusts beneath you.
“Want my cum?” Sam asked, his voice hoarse as he gathered your hair into his fist again. You nodded around him and sucked greedily, stroking the base while your tongue worked beneath the sensitive head. Sam’s hips jerked forward, his restraint slipping as your mouth tightened around him and Dean’s thrusts rocked you against his body. Dean watched your cheeks hollow around Sam’s cock, his own breathing becoming harsh as your oversensitive pussy continued gripping him.
“Give it to her,” Dean urged, squeezing your bouncing breast as he fucked upward. Sam’s cock pulsed heavily on your tongue, his hand holding your head still while his body tensed in front of you. Your eyes stayed fixed on his as you took him deeper, silently begging him to finally stop holding back.
You knew from the way Sam’s cock pulsed against your tongue and the way Dean’s thrusts had started losing their rhythm that neither of them had much control left. Sam’s fist tightened in your hair, his hips jerking forward as another bead of precum spread across your tongue, while Dean groaned against your neck and buried himself deep inside your trembling pussy.
The thought of either of them finishing where they were made your stomach twist with need, but another image had already taken hold of you. You pulled your mouth off Sam’s cock with a wet gasp, strings of saliva clinging briefly between your swollen lips and his flushed head. “Wait,” you pleaded, making both men freeze despite how close they were.
Dean’s arm tightened around your waist as he fought to keep himself still, his cock throbbing hard inside you while Sam wrapped a desperate hand around his shaft. “What is it, sweetheart?” Dean asked, his voice wrecked and strained as though every second of restraint physically hurt. You looked between them, breathing hard, your cheeks hot and your lips glistening. “I want both of you to cum on my face.”
Sam’s eyes darkened immediately, and Dean made a sound behind you that was half laugh and half groan. “Jesus Christ,” Dean muttered, pressing his forehead against your shoulder while your pussy clenched instinctively around him. Sam’s hand began moving slowly over his cock, but he watched you carefully as though he needed to hear you say it again before he let himself believe it. “You’re sure?” he asked, his thumb dragging across the slick head as he stroked himself.
“I’m sure,” you said, turning your face toward him and licking your swollen lips. Dean eased you off his cock with visible reluctance, holding your hips securely while you climbed from his lap and lowered yourself onto the floor. You settled between them on your knees, naked and flushed, with your thighs still wet and your breasts rising quickly with every breath.
Dean stood beside Sam without touching him, both brothers facing you as they wrapped their hands around their aching cocks. “Look at you,” Dean said, staring down at you with hungry disbelief. “On your knees, asking us to cover that pretty face.”
You tilted your chin upward and opened your mouth, letting your tongue slide out as both men began stroking themselves faster. Dean’s fist moved firmly from base to tip, smearing your wetness and saliva over his cock while his free hand cupped your cheek. Sam’s strokes were slower at first, his grip twisting around the swollen head before dragging tightly down the full length of his shaft.
Their breathing filled the room, rough groans and broken curses overlapping as they watched you wait beneath them. “Stick your tongue out farther,” Sam instructed, his voice low and unsteady, and you obeyed immediately. Dean’s thumb stroked beneath your eye while his hips pushed helplessly into his fist, his cock twitching harder every time your gaze moved between them.
“You want all of it?” Dean asked, his voice breaking when you nodded eagerly. “Yes,” you breathed, leaving your mouth open as your tongue rested against your lower lip. Sam groaned at the sight and stroked faster, his stomach tightening visibly as he reached the edge.
Dean came first with a harsh curse, his cock jerking in his hand as the first thick spurt of cum struck your cheek. Another landed across your nose and upper lip, warm ropes streaking over your skin while he continued pumping himself through every pulse. You kept your mouth open, catching part of the next spurt on your tongue before swallowing it with a soft, satisfied moan. The sight pushed Sam over immediately, his jaw clenching as his cock throbbed violently in his fist.
His cum splashed across your other cheek and chin, some of it landing directly on your outstretched tongue as he groaned your name. You closed your lips around the warm taste and swallowed, then opened your mouth again while Sam milked the final drops from his cock. Their cum covered your face in thick streaks, glistening beneath the bunker lights as you looked up at them with swollen lips and flushed cheeks.
Dean stared down at you like the sight had stolen the last coherent thought from his head, while Sam’s hand drifted gently into your hair despite the hunger still burning in his eyes. You dragged your tongue across your upper lip, collecting what you could reach before swallowing again, and Dean groaned, “Sweetheart, you’re gonna fucking kill us.”
For several seconds, nobody spoke. Dean’s breathing was still uneven as he reached down and brushed his thumb carefully beneath your eye, his ruined grin softening into something warmer when you leaned into his touch. Sam crouched beside you with a towel he had grabbed from the back of the couch, his movements gentle as he began cleaning your flushed face.
“You okay?” he asked, studying you with the same serious attention he gave every injury, despite the obvious satisfaction lingering in his expression. You nodded, still trying to steady your breathing while Dean muttered, “Pretty sure she’s more than okay, Sammy.” Sam gave him a look that should have been annoyed, but the faint curve of his mouth betrayed him.
You laughed softly between them, exhausted and overwhelmed in the best way, and the sound seemed to ease the last of the tension from both brothers. Dean offered you his hand, helping you stand before drawing you carefully against his chest. Sam moved in beside you, one broad palm settling reassuringly at your back.
“You two really held all of that in for months?” you asked, glancing between them as Dean found a blanket and wrapped it loosely around your shoulders. “In our defence, communication isn’t exactly the Winchester family business,” Dean replied. Sam snorted as he sat beside you on the couch, leaving enough room for you to choose where you wanted to settle.
You chose the space between them, curling against Dean’s side while resting your legs across Sam’s lap. The decision made both men look quietly pleased, though Dean was far worse at hiding it. Sam’s hand moved slowly along your calf beneath the blanket, soothing rather than demanding anything more.
“We still need to talk,” he reminded you gently. Dean groaned and tipped his head back against the cushions. “Of course you’d schedule the relationship meeting immediately after.” You nudged Dean with your elbow and told him, “He’s right,” which earned you an offended stare.
The conversation came in pieces, softened by lingering touches and tired laughter. You agreed that jealousy wasn’t forbidden, only cruelty and silence, and that nobody would be expected to hide what they needed. Sam insisted that each relationship had to be allowed to develop naturally instead of becoming part of some competition Dean could keep score of.
Dean complained about the accusation before immediately asking whether kissing counted as a point, proving Sam’s argument for him. You promised neither of them would be treated like a consolation prize, because what you felt for each brother was different but equally real. That answer silenced Dean completely, his expression turning vulnerable before he hid it against your hair.
Sam squeezed your leg and looked down for a moment, swallowing around whatever emotion had caught in his throat. “We’re going to screw this up sometimes,” he admitted. “Probably spectacularly,” Dean added. You smiled and rested one hand over each of theirs. “Then we fix it together.”
Later, Dean carried you toward the hallway despite your insistence that you could walk perfectly well. Sam followed with your abandoned clothes and the sort of amused expression that suggested he knew arguing with Dean would only make him more stubborn. “You’re both ridiculous,” you murmured, looping your arms around Dean’s neck.
“Yeah, but apparently you’re into that,” Dean said, kissing your temple. Sam opened your bedroom door and pulled back the covers while Dean lowered you carefully onto the mattress. Neither brother assumed he should stay, and the sudden uncertainty on their faces made your chest tighten with affection. You reached for both of them before either could retreat.
“Stay,” you said simply. Dean climbed in on one side while Sam settled on the other, their bodies curved protectively around yours without touching each other. As the bunker grew quiet again, you realised you had spent months fearing that wanting both brothers would leave you with neither, only to fall asleep safely held between them.
when clark’s fucking you too good you just have to rub your clit to get yourself over the edge — but then he’s just so big, everywhere, that you can’t squeeze your hand between his heavy body on yours.
so what does he do? turn you the fuck over, forcing your thighs apart as he lays you — with your back to his chest, and then those big hands of his would slide down your soft, sweat-slick body to rub your clit for you.

Fingers digging into both of your cheeks, holding them in place with such force that your eyes don't dare to move. Keeping contact with Hannibal's, his hips thrusting, fucking you into his desk.
Moaning in his face, exchanging hot breaths, looking into each other's eyes. Watching Hannibal's face melt, brows furrowing, mouth opening slightly only to be bitten closed, holding back the reward of louder moans. Gelled hair thrown out of place, swinging, touching your forehead with every thrust.
Attempting to look down, wanting a glimpse of his cock in you, but only receiving a strong thrust. Throwing your eyes back into his, noticing Hannibal's head tilted back as if warning you.
Locking back into his brown eyes, getting lost in their commanding ocean. Face heating up, pleasure prickling across your skin, the fabric of Hannibal's expensive suit rubbing your skin raw as his cock does the same to your insides.
Eyes rolling back, receiving harder thrusts that push you more and more towards the end or beginning of the night. Removing a hand from the edge of the desk, digging your fingers into the meat of his hand, stabilizing yourself in the present moment.

Legs closing around his hips, wanting the moment to last forever, even as he releases your cheeks. Seeing pride bloom across his face, looking down at your sore face, imagine your cheeks red, imprinted with his fingerprints.
Catching your breath, lying back on Hannibal's desk, watching as he removes his handkerchief from the chest pocket of his suit. Softly cleaning while your nerves still fired off, holding one of your thighs open, knowing they would close around him given the chance. Being a rare treat, your dear Hannibal fucks you in his office, let alone on his desk, gazing into his beautifully demanding brown eyes.

Brookhaven didn’t feel real.
It looked like it had been painted out of somebody else’s memory—small white houses, quiet streets, a main road with just enough stores to keep people alive. Quaint, but unsettling.
Two days. That was how long you’d been here. Long enough to unpack a few boxes, not long enough for the place to smell like home. Long enough to know that at night, the silence pressed in on you like a hand over your mouth.
You’d told yourself this was a good thing. A fresh start. Freedom. Away from the noise, the constant rush, the strangers brushing too close in New York. You’d wanted peace so badly you convinced yourself this would feel like it.
It didn’t.
It felt like being stranded. No family here. No friends. Just you and your bad people skills, your anxiety that made even buying groceries feel like preparing for a performance.
That’s how you ended up here—aisle five of the only grocery store in town—staring up at the top shelf like an idiot. The box you needed was inches out of reach, and the thought of asking someone for help already made your stomach twist.
Just grab something else. Doesn’t matter. You don’t need it that bad.
But your body stayed there, stupidly rooted to the floor, because of course this was your luck: paralyzed by cereal.
And then a voice behind you, low and steady, slipped through the quiet.
“Need a hand, doll?”
You turned, ready to mumble some excuse, and—holy shit.
For a second your brain just… blanked. Like it couldn’t compute that the voice belonged to the man standing there. Tall, broad-shouldered, handsome in a way that felt unfair up close. Blue eyes that seemed too sharp for a grocery store. The kind of face that made your stomach twist with the sudden realization that you were, in fact, staring.
Embarrassment hit like a slap. You cleared your throat quickly, fumbling for composure. “If it’s not too much trouble.”
He grinned, easy, boyish—like he’d been expecting the answer all along. And then he just reached past you, arm brushing close enough that you caught the faint scent of soap and something warmer, something expensive. In one fluid movement, he plucked the Coco Pops from the top shelf, the box that had reduced you to a statue.
“There you go,” he said, handing it over. “Not exactly worth climbing for, but I get it. Sweet tooth?”
You managed a smile, clutching the box like it was proof you weren’t completely useless, “More like comfort food.”
His smile deepened, a faint crinkle by his eyes that made your chest tighten. “Nothing wrong with that. We all need something that makes the day feel better.”
And maybe it was just in your head, maybe it was the anxiety talking, but his eyes lingered too long. Like he wasn’t just looking at you. Like he was searching for something.
“You’re new around here, huh?”
The question was casual, but it still made your cheeks heat. You let out a half-laugh, shifting the cereal box in your arms like a shield.
“Is it that obvious?” you said before you could stop yourself, wincing at how self-conscious it sounded.
He chuckled, eyes never quite leaving you. “It’s a small town. Everybody knows everybody. Someone new? Kind of hard to miss.”
You dropped your gaze to the box in your hands, not quite able to handle the weight of his stare for too long. “Guess I’m not as subtle as I thought,” you muttered, shifting your grip on the cereal.
“Not a bad thing.” He tilted his head, still smiling. “James Barnes. But everyone calls me Bucky.”
Your throat worked as you nodded, then you remembered—manners, names, normal human interaction. You reached out, hand awkwardly slipping into his. Warm, steady. Firm without being crushing. You mumbled your own name, cheeks heating at how small your voice sounded.
There was a pause, his thumb brushing lightly over your knuckles before he let go.
“Bucky?” you asked, brow furrowing before your brain could catch up to your mouth. “How do you get Bucky from James?”
Smooth. Real smooth.
His grin widened, the kind that made his eyes crinkle. “Second name. Buchanan. Don’t ask me who decided it sounded like Bucky, but it stuck.”
You laughed, more out of nerves than amusement. “Well, it beats Coco Pops Girl, so you win.”
That earned you a real laugh, warm and genuine, and you paused at the way it made your stomach flip.
Brookhaven was also… nice.
Too nice, if you were being honest.
People smiled at you on the street like they already knew you. The kind of smiles that lasted a beat too long, like you owed them one back.
It should’ve felt sweet. Heartwarming. Small-town America, apple pie, Norman Rockwell painting kind of sweet.
And maybe it was. Maybe this was just how the world worked outside the city—people actually being… decent.
Except you weren’t used to decent. You were used to subway elbows in your ribs, strangers cursing you out if you walked too slow, men shouting “smile!” on the sidewalk like they were doing you a favor. Kindness was transactional where you came from. Nobody held doors open unless they expected your number in return.
So this? This felt alien. You kept waiting for the catch.
Was it my face? Do I just look like a charity case? Or maybe they’re being nice because they think I’m pitiful—tragic new girl with no friends, can’t even reach the top shelf of the cereal aisle without help.
You tried to let it roll off, to remind yourself that maybe this was what “community” looked like. Maybe you’d just been starved of it so long you didn’t know what to do with it now.
You shook it off every time, embarrassed at your own paranoia. Anxiety, that’s all. Just your brain turning harmless niceness into something sinister. You’d wanted a new start, right? You’d asked for this. Peace, quiet, friendly neighbors. And now you had it.
So why did it feel like Brookhaven was watching you?
The Red Room Diner had quickly become your default. Cheap coffee, decent pie, booths you could disappear into without anyone bothering you.
Except today, someone did.
“Refill?”
You looked up and found a girl about your age standing there, dark auburn hair pulled back into a messy ponytail, green eyes warm and curious. Her nametag read Wanda.
“Uh—yeah, thanks,” you said, sliding your mug toward her.
She poured with practiced ease, then lingered instead of walking off like the others usually did. “You’re the new girl in town, yes?”
It wasn’t a question.
You offered a small, awkward smile. “Yeah… I guess so.”
“Brookhaven doesn’t get many strangers.” She tilted her head, lips quirking. “But… you don’t feel like a stranger. More like you finally made it here.”
Your smile froze halfway, brain scrambling to make sense of it. What does that even mean?
“Oh—uh. Thanks?” you managed, heat creeping up your neck. You glanced around the diner to see if anyone else had caught that, but no one seemed to be paying attention.
Wanda just smiled like she hadn’t said anything weird at all. “Don’t worry about the check. It’s on the house today.”
“Really?” you said, blinking. “You don’t have to—”
“I want to.” She slid the coffeepot back onto the warmer and leaned against your booth like she had all the time in the world. “So, what brought you here?”
You hesitated, fingers brushing the rim of your mug. What’s the short version? Without sounding like a total disaster?
“I just… finished school. Needed a break from the city, I guess. Too loud, too busy. Thought I’d try something different for a while.”
Wanda nodded like she understood. “Yeah, city life can chew you up. Here’s quieter. Slower.” She tilted her head. “Do you like it so far?”
“Still getting used to it.” You smiled, a little sheepish. “Everyone’s… really nice.” Too nice, but you didn’t say that part.
She laughed lightly, and the sound made your shoulders loosen without you realizing it. “That’s Brookhaven. People look out for each other here.”
Or watch each other, you thought, but bit your tongue.
You found yourself leaning in, warming to the conversation. “It’s actually kind of nice, talking to someone my age. Most people I’ve met here are…” You trailed off, searching for a polite word. Older. Married. Staring at me too long.
Wanda smirked like she knew what you meant. “Yeah. I get that. But you’ll fit in. You’ll see.”
There was something in the way she said it, calm and certain, which made you pause.
Wanda lingered a little longer, fingers drumming on your table. “Hey—do you go to church?”
You blinked. “Uh… not really.” Too quick. Too blunt. You winced and backtracked fast. “I mean—I was never super religious. Not against it or anything. Just… not my thing.”
Great. Perfect. Say you hate Jesus next, why don’t you.
But Wanda only smiled, unfazed. “Neither was I.” She shrugged like it was the easiest thing in the world. “It’s not really about the Bible, not the way people think. It’s more… community. A chance to be together, you know?”
You nodded slowly, unsure what else to do. “Right. Togetherness.”
Her eyes lit up, earnest. “Exactly. We share meals, stories, just… connect. It’s actually my favorite part of the week.”
You gave a little laugh, hoping it didn’t sound as nervous as you felt. This is fine. Small towns and their Sunday churches, nothing weird about that. “Sounds… nice.”
Wanda grinned, leaning back just a little. “You should come sometime. You’d fit right in.”
Your stomach twisted at the phrasing—fit right in—but you forced your lips into a polite smile, humor in your tone to soften the refusal. “I’ll think about it.”
Which, translated, meant: absolutely not, but thanks anyway.
Still, you held her gaze, nodding along like you weren’t already picturing yourself awkwardly standing in a pew while strangers tried to pray over you.
After that first time meeting him, it kept happening.
Not that you were complaining.
But you didn’t chalk it up to anything either. Small town meant one diner, one grocery store, one of everything. Of course you’d run into people more than once.
The second time you saw him, it was the diner.
You’d gone in for coffee and pie, needing somewhere to sit that wasn’t your half-furnished living room. He was already there, two seats down at the counter, stirring sugar into his mug with an absent sort of focus. When you slid onto the stool, he glanced up, those blue eyes meeting yours like it was the most natural thing in the world.
“City girl learns to love diner coffee,” he said with a crooked smile.
Your heart gave a stupid little kick, and you laughed because what else were you supposed to do?
After that, you kept running into him—the post office, the clinic, and then the narrow sidewalk outside the bookstore, where you nearly collided. He stepped aside with that steady grace, hand brushing your elbow just enough to keep you from stumbling.
“Careful,” he said softly, as you balanced a too-heavy grocery bag against your hip.
“Sorry.”
He’d taken the bag from you without asking, like it was the most natural thing in the world, carrying it to your door with one arm while his other hand stayed casually tucked in his pocket.
You’d stammered a thank you, embarrassed at how winded you were from a short walk, while he barely looked strained.
You were here for a fresh start. And if that fresh start happened to include a hot older guy who was nice enough to smile when no one else did?
Well. You weren’t going to question it. You just… didn’t notice the way he kept finding you.
The bell above the door gave a tired little chime as you stepped into the herbalist shop. It smelled like dried lavender and something sharper, almost medicinal, and the shelves were stacked high with jars of teas, oils, powders in neat little labels that made your head spin.
You weren’t even sure what you were looking for—just something to fill the silence of your house, maybe. Something that made it smell less like dust and more like… home.
“Hello, dear,” came a voice, warm and clipped in that old-fashioned way.
You looked up to see the woman behind the counter—white hair pinned back neatly, glasses perched on her nose. She smiled at you, kind and sharp all at once.
“Hi,” you managed, returning the smile as you drifted toward the shelves. “Just… looking.”
“Of course. Take your time. First month in town, is it?”
You blinked. “Uh… second, actually.”
She nodded, already pulling down jars as if she knew what you’d want. Chamomile. Peppermint. A little vial of lavender oil. You hadn’t said a word, but they were exactly what you’d been eyeing.
“Sleep can be restless when you’re adjusting to a new place,” she said gently, wrapping the jars in brown paper. “A cup of this before bed, and you’ll dream easier.”
You smiled awkwardly, shifting your weight. Okay, small towns, sure. People talk. Harmless. “Thanks. That’s… thoughtful.”
The old lady looked up at you then, her eyes soft but penetrating, and said it as easily as if she were commenting on the weather,
“You’re very pure.”
You froze, smile stiffening on your face. “Oh…thank you?” What the fuck.
She didn’t look embarrassed, didn’t even seem to notice your awkward laugh. Just tied the parcel with twine, sliding it across the counter. “We don’t see that much anymore. It’s rare.”
“Right,” you said quickly, grabbing the bag like it might help you escape faster. “Well. Thanks for the teas. Appreciate it.”
You were already halfway out the door when she called after you, still sweet as ever, “Brookhaven’s lucky to have you, dear.”
The bell chimed again as you pushed into the street, heartbeat hammering.
You didn’t stop walking until you were two blocks away, clutching the paper bag like it might explode.
By the third month, you’d mostly figured out how to blend in. You had your grocery routine, your diner booth, even a few neighborly waves you didn’t hate returning. You still felt like a puzzle piece forced into the wrong picture, but at least you weren’t flailing anymore.
Until this random kid.
You were waiting outside the bakery, paper bag of bread warm in your hands, when a little boy in a striped shirt wandered up to you. Couldn’t have been more than six, hair sticking up in every direction, a smear of chocolate on his cheek.
He stared at you like kids do—too long, unblinking, blunt curiosity written all over him.
You offered a polite smile, because what else do you do? “Hey, honey. Shouldn’t you be with your mom?”
He grinned, a gap where one of his front teeth should’ve been. “You’re the bride.”
Your smile froze. “…What?”
“The bride.” He rocked on his heels, sing-songing it now like it was the most obvious thing in the world. “Mommy says you’re the one.”
“Oh,” you said, voice pitched too high. “That’s… nice.” You glanced around frantically, praying someone would swoop in and collect him.
As if on cue, a woman appeared from the corner, hurrying over. “There you are,” she scolded lightly, taking his hand. She gave you a smile—apologetic, practiced. “Sorry about that. He’s chatty.”
“No problem,” you managed, forcing a laugh that sounded fake even to your own ears.
The kid tugged at her hand as they turned to leave, still looking back at you. “Bye, bride!” he chirped, cheerful as anything.
You stood rooted to the spot, blood pounding in your ears.
Bride. Bride of what? Bride of who?
You wanted to drop the bread right there on the street and keep walking until you hit the highway. Instead, you clutched it tighter, pasted a smile on for no one but yourself, and forced your legs to move.
You walked faster than you meant to, bread clutched so tight the paper crinkled in your hands. Your chest still hadn’t stopped buzzing, the kid’s voice echoing in your skull—the bride, the bride, the bride.
It was nothing. Just a kid. Just a weird, stupid kid saying weird, stupid things.
So why did it feel like your skin didn’t fit right?
You were too wrapped up in your thoughts to notice the figure rounding the corner until you collided, stumbling back with a startled gasp.
A hand caught your elbow, steadying you before you could trip.
“Easy there, doll.”
You looked up and felt the air leave your lungs. Him again. James. Bucky.
Of course.
Your panic stuttered, tempered by the calm weight of his hand, the easy smile tugging at his mouth. He didn’t look alarmed, didn’t ask questions—just steadied you like you were something fragile, breakable, but worth holding onto.
“Sorry,” you blurted, too quick. “I wasn’t— I didn’t see you.”
“No harm done.” His grip lingered for a second longer than necessary before he let go. “Where’s the fire?”
Your laugh came out shaky. “No fire. Just… distracted.” By creepy children calling me a bride, but sure, let’s not unpack that here in the middle of the street.
He tilted his head, studying you with that unreadable focus that always left you a little warm. “You alright?”
“I’m fine,” you lied, because you didn’t know how to explain any of it. You weren’t about to sound crazy in front of the one person in Brookhaven who didn’t make you feel completely out of place.
His smile deepened, soft but steady, like he believed you even if he didn’t. “Good. Hate to think this town scared you off already.”
Something in the way he said it made your stomach flutter. You found yourself smiling back, nodding too much. “I’ll survive.”
He didn’t just leave it at steadying you.
“Let me walk you,” he said, already matching your stride before you could argue. “Looks like you’ve got your hands full.”
You glanced down at the single loaf of bread clutched in your bag, lips twitching. Yeah, real heavy lifting there. But you didn’t push it. A part of you was… relieved, actually. Company meant distraction. Distraction meant you didn’t have to replay the kid’s words on loop.
“Thanks,” you mumbled, adjusting the strap on your shoulder.
“So,” he said after a beat, voice low and easy. “Settling in yet? Brookhaven treating you alright?”
You shrugged, eyes on the sidewalk. “Trying to. It’s… different.”
“How so?”
You chewed the inside of your cheek. He had that kind of voice that made you want to fill the silence, even when you shouldn’t. So you did. Words spilling out before you could filter them.
“I don’t know. Everyone’s really nice, which should be good, but sometimes it feels like too much. Like I stick out. Like…” You trailed, then huffed a laugh. “Honestly, maybe Brookhaven isn’t the right fit for me. I probably should’ve picked a bigger town. Or closer to the city. Or somewhere with more people my age, or at least—”
You realized you were rambling, but your mouth kept going. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s beautiful here. Quiet. Just—maybe too quiet. And I thought that’s what I wanted, but now I’m not sure, and—”
You finally looked up, words faltering, because his gaze was on you. Steady. Unblinking. And there was something darker there now, something that made your chest go tight.
He didn’t look annoyed. He didn’t even look surprised. He looked like you’d said something unacceptable.
Then his expression softened, that easy smile sliding back into place like it had never left. “You belong here more than you know.”
The words landed heavy, almost like an order.
You forced a smile, awkward and thin. “Guess I don’t feel that way yet.”
“You will,” he said simply. His eyes held yours a beat too long. “Sometimes it just takes a little time.”
You nodded, pretending to believe him, because what else were you supposed to do? “Well… thanks for walking me home.”
“Of course,” he said smoothly, sliding back into that easy smile, the one that looked harmless if you didn’t stare too long.
You reached for your keys, fumbling a little, when his hand brushed lightly against your hip. Not a grab, not overt—just a steadying touch as he leaned close enough that you caught the warmth of his breath.
“See you around, sweetheart,” he murmured.
Your throat tightened. You managed a nod, muttered something that might’ve been “goodnight,” and slipped inside as fast as you could without slamming the door.
You stood there with your back against it, heart pounding too loud in the quiet.
Just neighborly. Just friendly. That’s all it was.
The next few days, things only got stranger.
At first it was small stuff—easy to ignore, easy to laugh off. The clerk at the grocery store greeting you by name even though you’d never introduced yourself. The mailman telling you your package was “already waiting” before you’d even mentioned one.
Fine. Small town. Gossip traveled fast. Normal.
But then you stopped at the bakery and the woman behind the counter—Mary-Jane, you remembered her name was—slipped an extra pastry into your bag with a conspiratorial smile. “For our girl.”
You blinked. “Excuse me?”
“Our girl,” she repeated, like it explained everything. “You’re settling in beautifully.”
You laughed awkwardly, mumbled thanks, and bolted before she could say anything else.
And it kept happening.
At the farmer’s market, a man you’d never met pressed a bouquet of daisies into your hands, saying they were “meant for you.” At the laundromat, two women paused their folding to smile at you, one of them murmuring, “She really is perfect.”
Perfect. Pure. Bride. Words stacking in your head like bricks you didn’t know what to do with.
You’d catch yourself scanning faces for the smirk, the prank, the joke you weren’t in on. But there was nothing. Just wide, genuine smiles that never seemed to falter.
By the end of the week, your nerves were shot. Every knock at your door made your stomach lurch. Every “hello” on the street felt loaded. You lay in bed at night staring at the ceiling, whispering to yourself that you were fine, that you were imagining it.
It’s just small town kindness. It’s fine. You’re fine.
The Red Room had become a kind of refuge, the only place that felt remotely normal anymore. Or at least, it had.
Wanda slid into the booth across from you before you could even react, balancing a tray with your refill already poured. “Thought you might need this,” she said with a smile, pushing the mug toward you.
“Thanks,” you muttered, wrapping your hands around the cup.
She watched you for a moment, chin resting on her hand, before she spoke again. “So… you’re coming to the celebration, right?”
You blinked. “What celebration?”
Her smile widened. “Behind the church. This weekend. It’s big—bigger than anything else in Brookhaven. You can’t miss it.”
Your stomach tightened. “Church,” you echoed, weary. “Right.”
“It’s not what you think,” she said quickly, eyes lighting up like she’d practiced the line. “It’s not sermons and prayers. It’s… a gathering. Like a festival.”
You gave a humorless little laugh, lifting your brows. “What kind of festival?”
For the first time, Wanda hesitated. Her gaze flickered, and then she leaned in slightly, her voice softening. “It’s… special. Something that’s never happened before. Everyone’s been waiting a long time for it.”
Your grip on the mug tightened. “Okay,” you said slowly. “That sounds… vague.”
She tilted her head, unfazed, like she hadn’t heard the edge in your tone. “It’s hard to explain. You’ll understand when you’re there.”
You stared at her, trying to make sense of the words. Something that’s never happened before. Everyone’s been waiting. What the hell did that even mean?
“Right,” you said finally, forcing a smile that felt more like a grimace. “I’ll… think about it.”
Her expression softened, almost pitying. “You should come. You’ll fit right in.”
That fucking phrase again.
You nodded, even though your chest was crawling. “Yeah. Maybe.”
You took a long sip of coffee just to avoid looking at her.
Soon the air sharpened with autumn, leaves crisping into gold and red, and suddenly the town didn’t just feel different—it looked different.
Flyers plastered every storefront window, every lamp post. The White Star Festival, scrawled in bold letters, surrounded by little sketches of lanterns and wheat stalks. A smiling family at the bottom, arms linked.
Banners stretched across Main Street, stark white against the brick, swaying in the chilly breeze. White paper lanterns hung in neat rows from every awning. Even your mailbox had been stuffed with a pamphlet detailing the “celebration of unity.”
Everywhere you looked, Brookhaven was dressed in white.
And you hated how it made your stomach twist. It should’ve been festive—pretty, even. But all you could think about was Wanda’s voice in the diner, something that’s never happened before. Everyone’s been waiting.
Your mind snagged on the phrase like a burr you couldn’t shake.
Everyone.
Waiting for what?
You tried to shake it off, tried to pretend it was nothing more than a town fair. Apple cider, hay bales, kids running with sparklers. That’s what festivals were, right? Normal. Harmless.
Still, walking down the street with those white banners fluttering above, you couldn’t help feeling like Brookhaven wasn’t celebrating something.
It was preparing.
You’d buried yourself in work that afternoon, reshelving a cart stacked with hardcovers, the smell of dust and old paper clinging to your sleeves. The library had become your sanctuary—quiet, predictable, safe.
Or so you thought.
“Didn’t know you worked here.”
Your head snapped up, heart stumbling in your chest. And there he was again—James. Bucky. Leaning against the end of the aisle like he belonged there, like he’d just happened to wander in.
Of course.
You swallowed, forcing a smile. “Yeah. Just part-time. Keeps me busy.”
He nodded slowly, eyes scanning the rows of books before landing back on you. “That festival’s coming up fast. You planning on going?”
Your hands froze on the spine of a book you’d been sliding into place. “I don’t… I don’t think so.”
It came out more hesitant than you meant it to, your voice catching like you needed to explain yourself. “Crowds aren’t really my thing. And I’m not… you know. Church-y.”
He chuckled, low and warm, like you’d just told him something endearing. “It’s not about church. Not the way you think.” He moved closer, slow and unhurried, until he was right at your cart, his fingers brushing the edge like he was just making himself at home. “It’s about community. Belonging. You should be there.”
You shifted, tucking some hair behind your ear, suddenly hyper-aware of how small the aisle felt. “I mean… maybe. But nobody’s gonna miss me if I don’t.”
That was when his eyes caught yours, steady and too focused, and the easy smile curved his mouth. “That’s where you’re wrong, doll. Everyone’s expecting you to be there.”
The words sat heavy in your chest, too firm to be casual, too smooth to argue with.
You laughed nervously, trying to wave it off. “Well, that’s… flattering, I guess. But I’m really not much of a party person.”
He leaned in just slightly, lowering his voice, his tone soft as if he were letting you in on a secret. “You don’t have to be. You just have to show up. Let us take care of the rest.”
You smiled, because you didn’t know what else to do. But he didn’t let it go. His tone stayed easy, smile never faltering, but there was something behind it—something steady, determined.
“Thing is, I’m on the festival committee,” he said, almost casually, like it was just another line in conversation. “Been helping organize with the church for years. Kinda my job to make sure people show up.”
Your eyebrows shot up before you could stop yourself. A laugh slipped out, half disbelieving. “Really? You? I didn’t exactly peg you as the church type.”
He chuckled, low and warm, tilting his head in that way that made it hard to look away. “People can surprise you.”
You shifted a book from one hand to the other, pretending to be busy. “Guess so.”
He leaned against the cart a little more, his presence filling the space in a way that felt deliberate. “Look, sweetheart, it’s important you come. Everyone’s looking forward to meeting you proper. Getting you involved.”
You laughed again, this time thinner, uncomfortable. “Meeting me? I think I’ve already met the whole town at this point.”
“Not like this,” he said softly, his gaze holding steady on you. “The White Star’s different. Special.”
The name of the festival landed heavy, colder than it should’ve. You fiddled with the strap of your bag, trying to keep it light. “Special, huh? And I’m guessing there’s a dress code?”
“White,” he confirmed smoothly. “Head to toe.”
That made you huff out a nervous laugh before you could bite it back. “An all-white party doesn’t sound like the best thing, if I’m being honest. Little cult-y and… klan-ny.”
The second the words left your mouth, you wanted to bite it back.
He smiled at that, but it didn’t quite reach his eyes. “White’s tradition. Purity, unity, all that.” He shrugged, casual, his voice low. “Don’t think too hard about it. Just wear something light. You’ll be taken care of.”
Taken care of. The words prickled, but you nodded anyway, the automatic polite response slipping out before you could stop it. “Right. I’ll… think about it.”
He straightened then, pushing off the cart, but not before brushing your arm in that casual, claiming way. “Do more than think about it, doll. Be there.”
You forced another laugh, too breathy, too thin. “Yeah. Sure.”
But long after he walked away, his words clung to you, heavy and inescapable. Be there.
You’d braced yourself for… you didn’t even know what. Hooded robes? Candles? Something out of one of those documentaries that made you swear off small towns in the first place.
But when you crested the hill at the edge of Brookhaven and the festival came into view, your breath caught—because it wasn’t creepy at all.
It looked… fun.
Streamers crisscrossed above the square, fluttering in the autumn breeze. Booths lined the street, their tables piled with candied apples, jars of honey, homemade quilts. A Ferris wheel rose against the backdrop of the church’s white steeple, lights blinking cheerfully. Music carried over the crowd, fiddles and tambourines, voices lifting in song.
Kids darted between adults, faces painted, sticky fingers clutching caramel popcorn. Couples swayed near the bandstand. Even the air smelled warm—roasted nuts, cinnamon, fried dough.
You blinked, half-laughing under your breath. Okay, so maybe you were being dramatic.
Your shoulders loosened a little as you stepped into the square, weaving between stalls. People greeted you with smiles, but they didn’t feel as weird today. Just… normal. Happy.
For the first time in weeks, the knot in your chest eased. Maybe you’d been wrong. Maybe all the paranoia was just boredom and nerves after all. Because this—this was exactly what a town festival was supposed to look like.
You tugged your cardigan tighter around you, breathing in the sweet, spiced air, and told yourself to stop overthinking.
Look. Normal. Totally normal.
You hadn’t taken more than three steps into the square before someone was calling your name.
“Hey! There you are!”
You turned just in time for Wanda to come barreling toward you, a grin splitting her face. Before you could react, she’d grabbed your hand, tugging you deeper into the festival.
“Come on, you have to see everything!”
You stumbled after her, laughing despite yourself at the sheer enthusiasm. “Okay, okay—I’m coming!”
Her hand was warm in yours, her excitement infectious as she wove you through the crowd. She pointed out booths like a tour guide: the pie contest table, the row of hay bales set up for a sack race, the Ferris wheel creaking overhead.
Everywhere you went, she pulled you into introductions.
At the candied apple stand, a broad-shouldered man with a thick beard handed you one on the house. Thor, he introduced himself, voice booming as if the title of apple vendor was just a side gig.
At the quilting booth, a woman with sharp eyes and short red hair—Natasha—smirked as she measured fabric. “You’ll fit in here just fine,” she said, the phrase that made you laugh nervously before Wanda tugged you onward.
You even met the guy running the popcorn machine, a young one with brown hair falling into his eyes—Peter—who tripped over his words when you smiled at him.
It was overwhelming, dizzying, but… kind of nice. People’s faces were bright, voices warm, the energy buzzing around you so much that you almost forgot the way your stomach had been knotted tight this morning.
God, you thought, laughing as Wanda shoved a cone of roasted nuts into your hand, you really had been working yourself up for nothing. Like a horror movie playing out in your own head.
And now here you were—eating sugar, meeting locals, hand-in-hand with a girl who’d practically adopted you as her best friend. Normal. Harmless.
You’d been laughing at something Wanda said—something about how Thor cheated at the pie-eating contest every single year—when you heard it.
Your name.
That voice.
Low, steady, smooth enough that it curled right down your spine before your brain even caught up.
You turned, already knowing.
And there he was.
Bucky.
Except not like you’d ever seen him before.
He was dressed head to toe in white—shirt, tie, blazer that fit him like it was made for him. It should’ve looked ridiculous at a fair, but somehow it didn’t. Somehow it made him look important. The kind of man who owned the ground he stood on.
Your first thought was—who the hell wears a suit to a festival? Your second was that you were staring too long.
He smiled when your eyes met, that easy, practiced curve of his mouth that always seemed to say more than he ever actually did.
“Didn’t think you’d make it,” he said, coming closer.
“Guess I’m full of surprises,” you managed, forcing a grin that you hoped passed for casual.
Beside him stood another man, older, hair thinning but neatly combed, his pale eyes so blue they almost looked glassy. He was smiling too, but it didn’t reach those eyes.
“Alexander Pierce,” Bucky said, touching the man’s shoulder. “Mayor of Brookhaven.”
The mayor extended a hand; you took it automatically, his grip firm, too warm.
“Pleasure to finally meet you,” he said. His voice was soft, polite, the kind of tone that was supposed to be reassuring but somehow made your stomach twist. “We’ve heard such wonderful things about you.”
You blinked. “You have?”
Bucky chuckled quietly. “Word travels fast around here, doll.”
You let out a small, awkward laugh. “So I’ve noticed.”
The mayor—Pierce—tilted his head, eyes still on you. “We’re glad you came today. It’s an important one for us.”
You nodded, not sure what to say. “It looks… amazing. I wasn’t expecting something this big.”
“Brookhaven likes to celebrate,” Bucky said easily, but there was something behind his tone. Pride, maybe. Or something heavier.
“Mayor Pierce is also our priest,” he added, like it was the most natural thing in the world.
You blinked, sure you’d misheard. “Wait—you’re the mayor and the priest?”
Pierce smiled wider, the corners of his eyes creasing. “Small town. We all wear a few hats.”
Right. You nodded slowly, trying not to look as weirded out as you felt. Totally normal for a guy to run city council and Sunday service.
Bucky’s hand settled lightly on your lower back. Not possessive, not yet—just there. Solid. Anchoring.
“Pierce gives a beautiful sermon,” he murmured. “You’ll see for yourself later.”
The way he said later made your skin prickle.
You tried to joke, to shake it off. “Guess I’ll have to stick around for the show, then.”
Pierce’s smile didn’t falter. “Oh, I think you will.”
You laughed, mostly to fill the space, pretending not to notice the way both men’s eyes stayed on you as Wanda reappeared at your side, tugging at your hand again, oblivious to how your pulse had started to thrum in your throat.
The festival from then on went… weirdly well.
Even after the bizarre run-in with Bucky and the mayor-slash-priest, you’d somehow managed to loosen up again. Maybe it was the cider; maybe it was Wanda’s relentless cheerfulness. You let yourself drift through the fair beside her, watching kids chase each other with sparklers, the Ferris wheel lights winking against the deepening sky.
The air was cooling, that in-between hour when day tips into evening and everyone looks a little softer in the fading light. Music still floated from the bandstand—fiddles, laughter, the murmur of a hundred conversations blending together.
You found yourself smiling. See? Normal. Completely normal.
Then, somewhere around six, you noticed the shift.
The music stopped first—just sort of faded mid-song. Then the crowd began to move, slow and purposeful, all in the same direction. Toward the church at the far end of the square, its white steeple cutting into the darkening sky.
Wanda squeezed your hand. “Come on,” she said brightly, tugging you after her.
You blinked, thrown. “Where’s everyone going?”
“To the service,” she said, like it was obvious. “It’s the blessing part of the festival. You’ll love it.”
“Oh.” You hesitated, half-laughing. “Yeah, I think I’m gonna head home. It’s been a long day.”
She stopped, turning to you with that same open smile, but her grip didn’t loosen. “You can’t leave now.”
“I really should—”
“It’s tradition.” Her voice stayed gentle, but there was something underneath it now—an edge of insistence that made your chest tighten. “You’ve already come this far. You don’t want people to think you’re rude, do you?”
You felt the heat rise in your face, guilt creeping in before you could stop it. God forbid the town’s new girl skips church and becomes gossip fodder for a week.
You sighed, forcing a chuckle that sounded a little too light. “Right. Wouldn’t want to break tradition.”
Her smile softened again, victorious but sweet. “It’ll be over before you know it.”
You let her pull you into the slow-moving tide of white-clad bodies, your shoes scuffing the pavement as lanterns began to glow overhead.
Just one more thing, you told yourself. Stay for the blessing, smile, clap, then go home. Normal people do this all the time.
The church was bigger inside than it looked from the street, whitewashed walls glowing under the flicker of candlelight. The scent of melted wax and something faintly floral hung in the air, heavy enough that it clung to your throat.
You followed Wanda down the center aisle, every pew already filling with people dressed in the same white you wore. The same faces you’d seen all afternoon—smiling, laughing, passing cider and candy—now solemn, silent, eyes fixed on the front like they were waiting for a cue.
Wanda motioned for you to sit. You slid into a space halfway down, the wooden pew cold through the thin fabric of your dress. The hum of conversation had faded to a hush, that thick, expectant quiet that made you feel like breathing too loud would draw attention.
You glanced around, heart ticking a little faster. Every single person in town is here. No kids, you realized suddenly. Not one. You frowned, scanning the back rows—nothing but adults, all standing, hands clasped loosely in front of them.
“Where are the—” you started to whisper, but Wanda only smiled and shook her head, eyes still forward.
Before you could ask again, movement at the front caught your attention.
Alexander Pierce was stepping up toward the chancel, his white robes—or maybe it was still that suit, you couldn’t tell in the dim light—bright against the candles. He didn’t speak yet, only lifted his hands in greeting, and the murmur that had been building behind you died instantly.
The silence was absolute.
You shifted in your seat, trying not to fidget. Okay, you told yourself, it’s just a church thing. A small-town sermon. Normal people lighting candles, saying prayers. You’ve seen this in movies. Totally fine.
Still, your palms felt damp against your skirt.
Pierce finally began to speak, his voice calm, steady, echoing off the walls like it had been built to fill this room.
“Brothers and sisters of Brookhaven,” he began, spreading his hands. “What a blessing it is to see so many gathered beneath the White Star tonight.”
You looked around again, and saw heads nodding. Lips moving soundlessly.
Everyone except you.
Wanda’s hand brushed yours lightly, as if to steady you. You managed a tight smile, your throat too dry to answer.
He launched into it—some history lesson about how the White Star represented unity, purity, the light that binds the town together. A few people murmured “Amen.” You tried to follow, but the words washed together after a while, pleasant but empty.
Still, everyone else seemed rapt. Not polite-listening rapt, but locked-in. Their heads tilted slightly the same way, bodies perfectly still, eyes fixed on Pierce like he was the only thing in the room.
You shifted on the bench, glancing around for something—someone—familiar. Bucky, maybe. You hadn’t seen him since earlier, and you’d half-expected him to be front and center for this. But there was no trace of him anywhere. Just a sea of white.
Pierce’s voice kept flowing, steady and soothing.
“The White Star shines for all who walk in its light… its purity cleanses the unclean, joins the lost to the found…”
Your brow furrowed. Okay. Bit intense, but whatever. Small towns love metaphors.
He smiled at the congregation, the candlelight catching on his pale eyes. “We are reminded that only through the vessel of innocence can renewal be born. Through her, we become whole again.”
You froze. Through who?
No one else reacted. No shifting, no murmurs. Just quiet, content faces turned toward the pulpit.
Pierce’s voice grew softer now, almost tender.
“Tonight we give thanks that the wait has ended. That what was promised has come to pass.”
A ripple of something moved through the crowd. Not applause, not words—just the faint rustle of movement as people straightened a little taller.
You forced a small, nervous laugh under your breath, whispering to Wanda, “I think I missed a memo. What’s he talking about?”
She only smiled, eyes shining in the candlelight. “You’ll understand soon.”
Your stomach turned.
You tried to keep your polite face in place, hands folded on your lap, eyes aimed somewhere near the pulpit. At first Pierce’s voice just blended with the soft hiss of candles and the occasional cough from the back rows.
Then the tone began to change.
He stopped sounding like a mayor reading a proclamation and more like someone caught up in his own conviction. The rhythm quickened, words sharper, carrying across the rafters.
“…for in the cleansing, we are made new,” he said, palms open, rising and falling with every sentence.
“…through the sacrifice of what is unspoiled, the Star burns brighter.”
A murmur of assent rippled through the room. Not loud, just that unified yes sound people make when they already know the words.
Pierce went on. “Purity is not a state of being, but an offering. The unblemished light that passes through the vessel and brings forth renewal.”
Your hands twisted together in your lap. Okay. Definitely getting weird.
Everyone around you looked entranced. Heads slightly tilted, eyes bright, lips moving with the familiar phrases. You glanced toward the exit—only a few steps away—and forced yourself to stay seated. Leaving now would draw every eye.
Your pulse drummed in your ears. Just a sermon. He’s being poetic. You’re tired, that’s all. Don’t be rude.
But Pierce’s voice kept climbing, echo bouncing off the high ceiling.
“The Star asks for faith,” he said, almost shouting now. “Faith and purity! Through the cleansing, we return to the light!”
The congregation answered in a low, unified murmur, “Through the cleansing, we return to the light.”
You stared straight ahead, heart hammering, pretending to follow along while your thoughts tripped over each other. What cleansing? What the hell is this?
The candles guttered with the force of his final words.
“…and tonight,” Pierce’s voice rolled over the congregation, slow and deliberate now, “the vessel we’ve prayed for sits among us.”
He didn’t even have to say your name.
You felt it anyway—the way every head in the church turned as if on cue, eyes drifting from the pulpit to you. Candlelight flickered across dozens of faces, all serene, all fixed on you like you’d just stood up in the middle of a movie.
The air went thin.
Stay still, you told yourself. Don’t make a scene. You’re imagining it.
You turned your head just enough to whisper, “Wanda…”
But Wanda was already staring at you. Not smiling. Not looking confused. Just… watching.
Yeah. Nope. Uh-uh.
You shifted on the pew, ready to slide out, get to the aisle, walk fast, anything—when two hands clamped down on your shoulders from behind. Heavy, immovable.
“What the—”
You twisted to look back and your breath caught. Thor. The candied-apple guy. The booming laugh, the twinkle in his eyes. Only now his face was unreadable, eyes bright but cold. His grip didn’t budge.
Another hand wrapped around your arm—Sam, the Ferris wheel guy, the one who’d been cracking jokes at the fair an hour ago. His expression was calm, almost kind, like he was helping you to your feet, not holding you down.
“Let me go!” you hissed, panic spiking up your throat. “What the hell are you doing—”
They didn’t answer.
“Wanda!” Your voice cracked as you tried to jerk free, heart hammering in your ears. “Help me!”
She didn’t move. Didn’t even blink.
They pulled you upright as easily as if you weighed nothing. Your shoes scraped against the floor, your hands clawing at their wrists. The pew creaked as you were dragged out into the aisle.
“No, no, no—stop, please—” Your voice rose into a full yell now, the sound echoing off the vaulted ceiling. “Let me go!”
Nobody in the congregation moved. Nobody gasped, or whispered, or tried to intervene. They just sat there, rows and rows of white, eyes calm, faces soft, as you thrashed between Thor and Sam’s iron grips.
You dug your heels in, twisting hard enough to hurt your shoulder. This is it. They’re going to sacrifice me. This is real. This is happening.
Pierce was still at the chancel, hands raised as if in benediction, watching you with that same patient smile.
You kicked once, twice, desperate, but their hands didn’t slip.
“Please,” you begged, voice breaking now, “please, don’t do this—”
You twisted, kicked, nails clawing at their arms, but it was like fighting statues. Their grips stayed steady, almost gentle but unbreakable, like they weren’t restraining you so much as carrying out something inevitable.
Pierce’s voice rose over your panic, steady as ever.
“…the vessel walks unwilling, but the Star guides her steps…”
The crowd murmured back in unison, their calm faces blurring in the candlelight as you were dragged down the aisle.
“No—stop! Somebody help me!” Your voice cracked, echoing off the high ceiling.
Nobody moved. Nobody even blinked.
The altar loomed closer with every step—a simple wooden platform draped in white cloth, candles burning at its corners. When Thor and Sam lifted you up, your stomach lurched.
You thrashed, trying to plant your feet, but your back hit the cool cloth and your arms were already being pulled above your head. Sam’s hands pinned your wrists to the wood. You bucked against him, but Thor caught your legs easily, pressing them down, forcing them to the far corners of the altar.
Rough ropes—where had they even come from?—snaked around your wrists, your ankles, cinching tight. You gasped as the fibers bit into your skin.
“No! Please—don’t do this!” Your voice sounded high and raw, almost childish to your own ears.
Pierce kept speaking over you, his words rolling on like a tide. “…her body given to the light, her purity the bridge to renewal…”
You shook your head violently, hair falling in your face, trying to block out his voice, trying to pretend this wasn’t happening. This isn’t real. This isn’t happening. You’re dreaming. Wake up.
But the ropes didn’t loosen.
Your arms trembled above your head, wrists burning. Your legs strained against the ties, the position leaving you exposed, helpless.
And the worst part—the part that made your stomach twist—was how calm everyone still was. Rows of white, faces serene, watching like this was the most ordinary thing in the world.
You choked out a sob, twisting to look for Wanda, for anyone. “Please!”
But she was in the front pew now, hands folded, eyes fixed on you like she was watching a ceremony.
And Pierce’s voice rose again. “…and through her offering, we become whole.”
The congregation answered in a low murmur.
You were still fighting the ropes when a ripple moved through the congregation. Heads turned. A low murmur rolled across the pews like a tide going out.
And then you saw him.
Bucky stepped out from the side of the chancel, all white from collar to boots, his hair brushed back, the candlelight making his eyes look almost translucent. He didn’t rush, didn’t hesitate—he walked like a man taking his rightful place.
Your stomach flipped. Relief and terror collided in your chest.
“Bucky!” Your voice cracked, desperate. “Please—please help me!”
He looked at you. Really looked. His face was unreadable, the easy smile gone, replaced with something colder, older. For a heartbeat you thought you saw a flicker of softness in his eyes… and then it was gone.
Pierce lifted his hands, his voice rising over yours.
“Brothers and sisters, the time has come. The White Star burns brightest tonight as we anoint our new leader. The vessel has been brought forth for his initiation, as it was foretold!”
“No! Please!” you screamed, twisting against the ropes until your wrists burned. “Don’t do this—”
But your words were swallowed by the low chant of the congregation, by Pierce’s sermon rolling on,
“…he who leads must be reborn through purity. He who carries the Star must take the vessel, and through her, bind himself to the light.”
Bucky mounted the steps to the altar, his footsteps slow, measured. He stopped at the edge, looking down at you where you were stretched out, shaking.
“Please,” you sobbed, breath hitching. “You don’t have to do this. Just untie me—please—”
He didn’t answer.
Pierce turned to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, his voice ringing out. “You have served faithfully, James Buchanan Barnes. Tonight you ascend. Tonight you become the Shepherd of the Star.”
The congregation murmured again, a wave of white and flickering candles.
You thrashed harder, your chest heaving, panic clawing up your throat until you could barely breathe.
Pierce’s voice dropped to a near whisper, but the microphone caught every word. “And as the prophecy decreed… the vessel has come to you.”
All eyes turned to Bucky.
You pulled at the ropes until they cut your skin, your voice breaking on his name. “Bucky. Please. I’m begging you. Help me.”
When he reached you, he crouched low, his fingers brushing your cheek as if you were fragile porcelain. His thumb wiped a tear you hadn’t even realized had fallen.
“Shhh,” he murmured, but it wasn’t meant for you. His eyes were fixed on the congregation.
Then he stood, straightening to his full height, turning to face them, his hand still resting on your face like a claim. His voice rang out, deeper and louder than Pierce’s, filling every corner of the church.
“Brothers and sisters,” he intoned, “tonight the Star delivers what was promised.”
You shook your head violently, sobs tearing through you. “Bucky, please—”
But your voice was nothing under his, a trembling note swallowed by his sermon.
“Through her, I rise as shepherd,” he went on, his fingers sliding from your cheek to cradle the back of your head, holding you still. “Through her, we renew our covenant. Through her, the light takes flesh.”
The congregation echoed him in a low murmur, the sound vibrating through the pews, through the floor, through your ribs.
You twisted your wrists, your ankles, anything to get free. “Let me go—please.”
His eyes flicked down at you then, soft and burning at once. He didn’t look cruel; he looked devout. Like a man in prayer.
“You were chosen,” he said, so low only you could hear it. “It’s already done.”
Then he lifted his gaze back to the people and raised his voice again, drowning yours completely.
“The vessel is before us,” he declared. “The Star shines upon us. Tonight, the old leader dies and the new is born!”
The roar of voices answering him rolled over you like a wave. You gasped, sobbed, tried to speak, but his hand stayed firm on your head, holding you in place as if you were anointed, not bound.
You couldn’t tell anymore if you were crying or shaking or both. You couldn’t even hear yourself over them.
He reached for something on the altar. Metal glinted in the candlelight.
Your breath snagged in your throat. A dagger. Long, ceremonial-looking, its blade etched with symbols you couldn’t make out.
Your whole body went cold. This is it. This is where they stab you. This is where it ends.
You jerked against the ropes, sobs clawing up your throat. “Please don’t—please—”
Bucky didn’t pause. He turned slightly, showing the blade to the congregation like a priest lifting a chalice. His voice rolled out over their heads, steady, commanding.
“Tonight the vessel is revealed. Tonight we strip away what is false, so only what is pure remains.”
Your heart was hammering so loud you couldn’t hear the crowd’s murmur.
He lowered the dagger. For a heartbeat you braced for the strike—but instead the cold flat of the blade touched your collarbone. You gasped, flinched—and then heard the faint sound of fabric tearing.
Your dress.
He was cutting through it. Slow, deliberate, the blade whispering down the center seam. The cool air hit your skin where the cotton parted, your chest heaving as the white fabric fell away.
You couldn’t stop the sob that tore out of you. “Why are you doing this—please stop—”
He didn’t look at you. His eyes were on the crowd, his voice rising, even as his hands worked.
“We shed the trappings of the world. We bare what is hidden. We reveal the vessel in her true form.”
The knife slid lower, parting the last of your dress. Cool steel grazed your bra, then sliced through the strap with a single, neat flick. You gasped as the cups fell loose, your arms straining instinctively against the ropes that held them above your head.
The congregation didn’t stir. Their faces were serene, eyes fixed on Bucky as if nothing about this was strange.
Your vision blurred with tears. They’re not killing me. They’re—what are they doing?
Another clean movement of the blade, and your panties were gone too, the last shred of fabric falling away. The ropes bit into your wrists as you tried to curl inward, but your legs were still tied to the corners of the altar.
Bucky’s voice rolled over your sobs, calm and sure, “Through the vessel’s unveiling, the covenant is renewed. Through her, the Star is born again.”
You couldn’t stop crying. The ropes dug into your wrists every time you jerked against them, but you couldn’t lie still. They’re going to do it. They’re going to kill me. Any second now the knife—
But the knife was gone. Pierce had taken it from Bucky, setting it on the edge of the altar like it was just another piece of silverware. He dipped his fingers into a shallow bowl you hadn’t noticed before. Oil, thick and glinting in the candlelight.
Bucky, still in his white suit, stood at the foot of the altar. Calm. Collected. Like a man about to deliver a speech, not preside over a sacrifice.
Pierce’s oiled fingers pressed to your forehead. The scent was sharp—frankincense? Something bitter and floral at once. You flinched at the touch.
“Be anointed in the light,” Pierce murmured.
He turned to Bucky next, daubing the same oil across his brow. “And you, Shepherd of the Star. Be reborn.”
Your heart was pounding so hard you could hear the blood in your ears.
Then Bucky started unbuttoning his blazer.
You stared through the blur of tears as he shrugged it off, laid it neatly on a nearby chair, then began unfastening his shirt.
“What are you—” Your voice broke.
He didn’t answer. His fingers moved calmly down the buttons, revealing skin as pale as the candles, a lattice of scars you couldn’t make sense of.
The congregation murmured in a low, unified hum.
“Through the vessel, the Shepherd takes his place,” Pierce intoned.
Bucky’s shirt joined the jacket. He kicked off his shoes, undid his belt, as steady as if he were alone in his bedroom.
You shook your head violently. “No—no, please don’t—please—”
But the words coming from his mouth were still a sermon, not a reply. His voice carried easily over yours,
“Through her flesh, the covenant is sealed. Through her blood, the light enters me.”
His trousers slid to the floor. White fabric pooled at his feet.
You went still, shock rooting you to the altar.
Bucky stood bare now at the foot of the altar, skin slick where Pierce’s oil had touched him, eyes fixed on you as he spoke to the crowd. His body was lean and scarred, his cock already heavy and upright, the image so surreal it barely registered through your terror.
The congregation didn’t gasp. They didn’t blink. They just watched, serene, as if this was exactly what they’d come for.
Bucky’s voice dropped, still loud enough for the furthest pew. “The Star has chosen. The vessel is before us. Tonight, I ascend.”
He stepped closer to the altar, his hand reaching out, warm and oiled, brushing a strand of hair from your face with almost tender care. His eyes were bright, unblinking, his lips still moving, still preaching to the congregation as if you were an object, a symbol, not a girl bound beneath him.
And for the first time, you understood what his words meant.
Bucky climbed onto the altar, slow and deliberate, like a priest ascending steps to the pulpit. The oil on his skin glistened in the candlelight; the smell of incense and sweat closed in around you. You tried to scoot back, to shrink away, but the ropes burned against your wrists and ankles, biting into your skin.
“Please,” you whispered, your throat raw. “Please don’t do this…”
He didn’t answer your plea. Instead, he straddled you, knees braced on either side of your hips. The weight of him pressed down on you, warm and solid, pinning you to the altar more effectively than the bindings ever could. His palm cupped your cheek again, thumb smearing a tear down to your jaw.
“Look at me,” he murmured, so low only you could hear. It was a request and a command at once. “Don’t be afraid. This is what you were born for.”
You turned your head away, squeezing your eyes shut, but he followed, his mouth brushing your temple, your cheek, his lips soft and damp from whispered prayers.
His hand slid from your face down to your throat, not choking, just resting there, the weight of it a brand. His thumb stroked your pulse as if to calm you, as if you were a frightened animal. “Shhh…” he soothed, his voice a dark lullaby. “The pain is only for a moment. After this, you’re mine, and you’re safe.”
You felt his other hand drift lower, tracing your breastbone, then his hand cupped your breast, thumb circling your nipple slowly, deliberately. You gasped, jerking against the ropes; the jolt only made the cords bite deeper into your wrists.
No. No no no.
His mouth ghosted over your temple, your cheek, his stubble scratching your skin as he whispered, “So beautiful… so pure… made for me.”
His hand moved lower, fingers sliding down your stomach to your hips, then between your thighs. The calloused pads of his fingers stroked you with reverence, parting your folds, gathering slick. You choked on a sob when you felt it—slick betraying you on his fingertips. He groaned quietly at the touch, a sound that made your stomach twist.
“No… no, please—” you whimpered, turning your face into your shoulder. But your hips twitched anyway, a tiny involuntary movement against his palm. Heat bloomed low in your belly, shame thick in your throat.
Goddammit stop. Stop it. Don’t feel anything. Don’t.
He groaned softly at the feel of you, voice still that lullaby, “That’s it… your body knows me. It’s welcoming me already.”
His fingers circled you again, slow, patient, coaxing you open while his thumb stroked your pulse. Each stroke dragged a fresh tremor out of you, and the sound of the congregation grew louder, as if they too could smell your arousal.
His palm left your throat and slid back down, slow as oil over stone. He traced every inch of you with his hands, as if cataloguing a treasure he’d waited years to unearth. Across your ribs, down to your hips, up the inside of your thighs; each pass rougher, more insistent, until his fingers were pressing and parting you with shameless precision.
Your breath hitched. Stop. Don’t react. Don’t.
Bucky leaned down, his mouth close to your ear, his voice a low rasp that threaded under Pierce’s booming sermon. “Shhh,” he murmured, almost soothing. “It’s all right. Let it happen.”
You squeezed your eyes shut, but his words slid right through you, warm and heavy.
“This is what you were chosen for,” he whispered. “All that time. All those signs. All leading here.”
You tried to squeeze your knees together, but the ropes at your ankles held you open. You could feel how wet you were now, slick gathering on his fingertips, slick he spread over your clit in lazy circles. The sound it made against your skin was obscene. You bit your lip to keep the sound in, but a small, strangled moan slipped out anyway.
“God…” he breathed, almost to himself, eyes hooded as he worked you with his fingers. “Look at you. Look how perfect you are for me.”
You turned your head, tears sliding into your hairline. “Please,” you whispered. “Stop. Please stop…”
He bent closer, lips brushing your ear, the words meant only for you.
“This isn’t stopping. This is beginning. Your body’s already chosen.”
“No…” you breathed, but it came out more like a whimper than a protest.
His fingers slid lower, one dipping inside you, slow, then another, stretching you with patient pressure. The sting of his intrusion made you gasp; your hips twitched upward, a tiny involuntary thrust into his palm. He caught the movement, groaned against your cheek.
Stop. Please stop. Why is this happening to me?
Around you, the chant had changed. The hum had become a low, rhythmic moan, dozens of voices vibrating through the room. Dresses and coats swished and the scrape of wood echoed as the congregation rose from their pews. Through the blur of your tears you saw them moving closer, encircling the altar, hands extended as if reaching for a blessing.
Bucky’s fingers curled inside you, thumb circling your clit in slow, deliberate patterns. “That’s it,” he whispered. “Show them. Show them you were made for this.”
Your breath hitched, another moan breaking free. The crowd’s chant swelled in answer, bodies pressing closer, brushing the edge of the altar as if trying to touch the heat radiating from the two of you.
You couldn’t stop trembling; your body was opening under his hands, slick and shameful, even as you turned your face away and sobbed.
He withdrew his fingers from you slowly, dragging them up to your clit one last time before lifting them to his mouth. He sucked the wetness from them like a blessing, eyes never leaving yours. Then he shifted back on his knees, his cock heavy and flushed, veins standing out against the oily skin.
The congregation had crowded in close now, everyone mysteriously wearing robes they retrieved from God knows where. Through the blur of your tears you saw their faces tipped upward, hands raised, mouths open in silent prayer.
Somewhere behind you and Bucky, Pierce’s voice had risen above the murmur—deep, rhythmic words spilling out like scripture, each syllable echoing against the rafters. You couldn’t make sense of it; the only thing you could focus on was the man between your thighs.
Bucky slid the head of his cock along your soaked lips, up and down, spreading your wetness over himself with slow, deliberate strokes. Each pass dragged over your clit and made you jolt, shameful heat pulsing low in your stomach. He hissed under his breath, eyes half‑lidded.
“God, you’re perfect…” he muttered, almost to himself. “Look at how ready you are for me.”
You turned your head away, squeezing your eyes shut, trying to block out the sight of him, the smell of oil and incense, the crowd’s breathless worship. Don’t look at him. Don’t give him that.
Tears kept slipping down your cheeks. “Please…” you whispered, voice trembling. “Stop…”
He reached out, caught your chin with his slick fingers, and forced your face back toward his. His thumb stroked a tear from your cheek, smearing it across your skin like another kind of oil.
“No hiding,” he whispered, eyes bright and unblinking. “Look at me. Only me.”
Then he pressed the head of his cock to your entrance, sliding it against you again and again, smearing himself in your wetness until you felt the thick weight of him poised at your opening.
Pierce’s voice rang out, manic and booming now, echoing against the high ceilings of the church. “As the vessel is taken, so shall the bond be sealed! Let the light of the White Star bless their union! Let the old blood pass, and the new bloom through her!”
Each line was echoed back by the robed figures, their chant swelling, hands lifting higher, bodies leaning in as though they could draw the power from the air. The candles guttered, wax dripping down like blood.
Bucky’s gaze never left yours. His pupils were blown wide, blue irises lit by the flames. He stroked the head of his cock over your opening one last time, groaning as your slick coated him. His palm cradled your cheek again, thumb brushing a tear away.
“Breathe,” he murmured, low enough for only you. “It’s time.”
Then he pushed forward.
The blunt head of him breached you slowly, inexorably. The burn was immediate and sharp, your body clenching around him in panic as your cry was swallowed by the chants. He grunted, jaw tightening, but kept pressing, inch by inch, stretching you wider than you’d ever been, until his hips were flush with yours.
Your breath hitched on a sob. You felt full in a way that was almost unbearable—burning, stretching, the ropes digging into your wrists as you tried to pull away from the intrusion.
You tried to cry out, but the sound barely left your lips, trapped beneath the thunder of the chanting. Your back arched, wrists pulling against the binds, and Bucky… Bucky only groaned like a sinner at the altar, his forehead pressing to yours like a benediction.
‘So full,’ you thought numbly, dazed. ‘It burns. Oh god, it burns—’
“God, look at you,” he whispered, voice breaking on a prayer. “Perfect. Mine. My bride.”
You didn’t realize you were shaking until his hands came to hold you down again, fingers reverent, murmuring something soft you couldn’t hear over Pierce’s ecstatic sermon,
“She is the flame and the offering! The womb and the weapon! Through her, the Order shall rise again!”
Above you, Bucky was gone—or maybe more present than you’d ever seen him. His eyes were locked on yours, unblinking, his forehead touching yours, his breath ragged.
He wasn’t looking at the crowd, or Pierce, or the candles. Just you. And in his gaze there was nothing of the easy man from the grocery store. He looked like someone seeing God for the first time.
Pierce’s voice was a roar now, echoing off the walls, drowning your cries, “The Bride takes the Shepherd! The Star burns in the flesh! The bond is sealed!”
He moved inside you once, deep and deliberate. The stretch sent a hot sting through your core; the friction made you shudder and whimper, tears streaking your temples.
He bent down, pressing his forehead to yours, his voice shaking as he whispered, “Stay with me. Breathe. It’s us now. Just us.”
The crowd blurred. Pierce’s voice became a distant chant. All that remained was the searing fullness inside you and the heat of his body caging yours.
Then he began to move.
Slow at first, each thrust deep and steady, dragging a fresh burn from your core. You whimpered with every push, the sting sharp, your body still struggling to accommodate the size of him. Your wrists pulled uselessly against the ropes. The altar creaked beneath you.
Above you, Bucky was breathing heavy, sweat slicking the hollow of his throat. His hair stuck to his temples, his lips parted as he rocked into you with the reverence of a man praying. No—worshipping. Like you were the altar now.
You squeezed your eyes shut, shame burning hotter than the stretch inside you. But your body betrayed you with every second. The pain began to shift, still raw and aching, but now there was pressure. Heat. Friction. His cock dragged against something deep inside you and your hips twitched upward before you could stop them.
He felt it.
His rhythm faltered for half a breath, then he groaned—loud, rough, broken.
“There she is…” he murmured, forehead pressing to yours. “That’s it. You feel that? You’re opening for me now. You were made for this. For me.”
You shook your head, but the moan that tore out of you ruined the lie. He thrust deeper, slower, grinding into you like he was planting something sacred. And the crowd saw it—heard it.
Their chant twisted into something else now, not just words but moans, cries, hands pressed to their own bodies, to each other. You didn’t know if they were crying or cumming or praying.
One woman sobbed, “She accepts him,” and someone else shouted, “She brings the light!”
Your back arched. Your thighs trembled. Your cunt clenched around him again and again, wetness now pooling, obscene, making each thrust louder, filthier. You hated it. Hated the way your body was betraying you. But it was happening. Your pleasure had bloomed without your permission.
And Bucky knew.
“That’s it,” he panted, slamming in harder now. “That’s it, sweetheart. Don’t fight it. Give it to me. Let me have all of it.”
His lips brushed your jaw, your mouth, your throat. He kissed you like a husband would, tender and adoring, while his cock pounded into you like a sinner.
Then his rhythm shifted.
Whatever restraint Bucky had held onto crumbled as your body writhed beneath him, slick and hot and clenching around him with every thrust. He gripped your hips harder, fingers bruising, and drove into you rougher now—sharp, relentless, the slap of skin against skin echoing over the altar.
Your cry cracked into a sob, but it wasn’t just pain anymore. Not even shame. It was something worse—need.
Your back arched against the ropes, legs trembling as he pounded into you, faster, harder, his groans turning raw and guttural. His forehead pressed against yours, his breath ragged and hot as his cock dragged against that spot deep inside that made you clench and twitch.
“That’s it, beautiful. Let them hear you. Let them see what you are.”
Your cunt clenched around him again, fluttering involuntarily. He moaned—loud, filthy—and slammed in deeper.
Below the altar, the congregation had collapsed into chaos. No longer chanting in unison, they cried out in scattered gasps and sobs, some on their knees, others standing, clothes open or clinging to each other in ecstatic fever.
Pierce’s voice still rang through the room from his place at the pulpit, but it was nearly drowned out now, his sermon buried under the sound of you—your whimpers, Bucky’s groans, the wet slap of him rutting into you like a man possessed.
“The Star descends… the vessel is filled… the flesh becomes divine—”
The words were there, but no one was listening.
Not even him.
Bucky’s hands slid under your thighs, lifting your hips off the altar, so he could drive in deeper. The new angle made you sob aloud, the friction unbearable, pleasure blooming so hard it felt like punishment.
“So fucking tight,” he groaned, jaw slack, sweat dripping from his brow. “You were meant for me. You were born for this.”
He fucked you like a man claiming territory. Like a beast. Every thrust rocked the altar, dragged a cry out of your throat, made your soaked cunt gush louder around him. It was filthy, carnal, and unstoppable—and the congregation worshipped it.
They reached for the altar. Some screamed your name. Others cried Bucky’s. You heard sobbing, gasping, someone whispering prayers. You couldn’t keep your eyes open anymore. You were floating—no, drowning—in sensation.
And still he moved inside you, harder, faster, his body pounding into yours as if salvation could be fucked into your bones.
When suddenly… Bucky’s rhythm stuttered.
He stayed buried inside you, panting, sweat dripping from his jaw. You gasped, disoriented from the abrupt pause, your cunt fluttering helplessly around his cock, desperate for more friction even as your mind screamed no.
Then you saw his hand reach out to the altar.
Your stomach dropped.
Your eyes went wide. The dagger. Oh God, he’s going to—
He lifted it, the blade catching candlelight, and your stomach dropped into ice. Your body went rigid under him, wrists pulling at the ropes until your shoulders screamed.
But instead of striking, the blade moved downward. You flinched when you felt the cool kiss of steel against your ankle—and then the rope loosened. One leg. Then the other. He cut them free with two swift, clean motions.
Your legs collapsed inward, but jelly-soft and shaking, you couldn’t even try to kick him away.
He reached for your thighs, spreading them again himself, gently draping them over his waist like a man cradling his lover.
“No more restraints,” he said softly, like a vow. “You’re not my offering anymore. You’re my bride.”
You stared up at him, gasping, not daring to say anything.
Then, still inside you, he raised the dagger again, but this time angled it toward his own mouth. You watched, breath held, as he pressed the tip to his bottom lip and nicked it—just enough for a bead of blood to rise and glisten. His eyes were on you the whole time, burning and unblinking.
Before you could form words, the blade dipped toward you. You flinched, expecting pain, but all you felt was the lightest sting at your own lip—a mirror of his. Warmth. A drop of blood.
Then the dagger clattered to the floor.
Bucky’s hand slid behind your neck and he crashed his mouth down onto yours, his bleeding lip pressing to yours, smearing the taste of iron between you. The kiss wasn’t tender; it was consuming, anointing.
You made a sound—half‑sob, half‑gasp—as he pulled you up with him, his hands grabbing your thighs, yanking your legs higher, and wrapping them around his waist.
“Now you’re mine,” he growled into your mouth. “Bound by blood. Sealed in flesh.”
He thrust back into you hard, deep, dragging a ragged moan out of you as your walls clenched around him, overstimulated and soaked. The kiss was brutal, all teeth and tongue and iron. His thrusts became frantic again, rough and messy, your now-freed legs trembling as they locked around him instinctively.
He shifted, palms sliding under the backs of your thighs, lifting you higher. In one smooth movement he folded you in half, your knees pressed up to your chest, his shoulders braced under your legs. The new angle left you completely open, his cock driving even deeper.
You cried out, the sound torn from your throat. The ropes on your wrists creaked as you clawed at empty air. The altar rocked with each thrust, the wet slap of his hips against yours echoing louder than the congregation’s chants.
Bucky’s face hovered above yours, flushed and slick. His eyes were wild now—not priestly, not calm, but a man caught in revelation, groaning with each brutal push. He kissed you again, messy and open‑mouthed, his tongue tasting the blood at the corner of your lip.
“Mine… mine… my bride,” he muttered between thrusts, voice rough with pleasure.
He drove harder, faster, his cock hitting something so deep inside you it made your stomach clench and drop. The pressure built low in your belly—hot, unbearable, like you were going to burst. You whimpered, panicked, “No, no, I—” but the words dissolved into a sob.
The feeling grew, impossible to stop. His hips pistoned into you, deeper and deeper, and your body arched off the altar, trembling violently. Your vision blurred. It felt like you were going to pee, horror blooming through you, but you couldn’t stop it.
Bucky felt it—your cunt fluttering, the tremors running through you. He growled low in his chest, an animal sound.
“That’s it,” he snarled, thrusting harder, deeper. “Give it to me. Show them. Show me.”
The pressure broke.
You cried out, back arching, and a gush of liquid burst from you, soaking his cock, his stomach, the altar beneath you. It splashed onto his thighs, down to the stone floor. The crowd gasped, then erupted into screams of ecstasy, their chants turning into a roar.
Bucky’s groan was loud, guttural, almost a shout—not of surprise but of triumph. His eyes rolled back for a moment, his hips still slamming into you through your convulsions. “God, yes… look at you… my perfect girl…” he panted, voice hoarse.
Your whole body shook under him, overwhelmed and humiliated by the release, but his grip on you only tightened, holding you folded open in his hands as though he was presenting you to the congregation, to whatever power he believed in.
And he still didn’t slow.
Even as your body convulsed around him, even as your soaked cunt fluttered and pulsed, still leaking from your release, Bucky kept thrusting—chasing the inevitable.
His grip on your thighs was bruising now, holding you folded tight beneath him in that unforgiving press, his cock slamming into the deepest part of you over and over, soaked with your cum, dragging lewd, wet sounds from where your bodies met.
His mouth was everywhere—your throat, your cheek, your parted lips, whispering desperate, broken prayers between kisses.
“So good… so tight… you were made for me—made to carry my seed, to take all of me…”
You couldn’t speak. Could barely breathe. Your whole body was trembling, still fluttering from the violent release, but he was relentless. You felt the way his rhythm began to falter—how his thrusts grew more erratic, how his groans climbed into something ragged and sharp.
And then—
He drove in one final time, burying himself to the hilt, and came.
His whole body jerked above yours, a long groan tearing from his throat as his cock throbbed deep inside you, pulsing with wave after wave of heat. You could feel him—thick, warm, spilling inside your raw, open cunt, flooding you full.
The crowd erupted.
Screaming. Crying. Falling to their knees. Dozens of hands raised toward the altar like they'd witnessed a miracle.
Above the chaos, Pierce’s voice rang out like the final bell of a mass,
“Salvation comes with sacrifice!”
Bucky collapsed over you, bracing himself on trembling arms, still locked inside your spent, soaked body. He leaned in, nose brushing yours, voice no longer performative—just raw, real, and terrifyingly sincere.
“It’s done now,” he whispered. “You’re mine. Forever. My wife. My salvation.”
He kissed you again—soft, blood-warm, possessive.
Your limbs were trembling. Shaking. Fucked limp.
You could feel the slick between your thighs—his cum leaking out of you, your own release still wet and clinging to your skin. Your chest rose and fell in shallow gasps as your head lolled to the side.
The congregation had come undone. Robes discarded, hands clawing, mouths open—a tangle of limbs, moans and gasps. Worship had collapsed into an orgy at the foot of the altar, bodies writhing in the candlelight like a living, breathing thing.
They weren’t chanting anymore. They were fucking, their eyes rolled back in ecstasy, praising what they’d just witnessed with their own bodies.
You couldn’t even process it. Your mind was fogged, floating somewhere between pain, pleasure, and shock.
Your vision blurred, not from tears this time, but from the aftershocks rippling through your body. You felt it in every nerve, every muscle. The rawness. The surrender. The shame. And then—
His breath.
Hot against your ear. His cock softening inside you, but still seated deep.
He didn’t move away. He didn’t release you.
You turned your head weakly—eyes fluttering open—and saw him watching you.
Not the crowd.
Not the light.
You.
He kissed your temple, your cheekbone, the corner of your mouth—his lips gentle, reverent, claiming. You were still panting when his mouth brushed yours again, whispering something you couldn’t even understand.
Not words. Just devotion.
And in that moment, as the crowd’s voices rose again, a sick feeling twisted in your gut.
Because somehow, you knew.
This wasn’t the end.
It was just the beginning of this cultish nightmare.
a/n — after watching marvels zombies, Wanda gives off such cult recruiter vibes. with her sweet and soothing personality
now realistically me, personally would've hauled ass after the first month in town, but lowkey I feel like this cult is the right place to be especially because of Bucky and all the hot ass people in town. anyway hope you enjoyed and tell me what you think!
Clark's always known you to be a driven, ambitious force. It's one of the many reasons why he loved you. It's how you'd found out about the double life he lived after months of knowing him — how you'd won Pulitzers.
You ate, breathed, and lived journalism. Never stopped, even when it put your own life in danger, both metaphorically and physically.
He learned that the best way to navigate you was to let you be and protect you from a distance. Of course, that applied to any and every threat that could externally harm you.
But the one biggest threat to you, he didn't account for? Was himself.
Clark Kent never considered himself to be at the mercy of his sex. The fact of it was that he wasn't entirely human. Which meant the restraint he practised was unlike a normal guy.
Being with a powerful woman was just that. An endless path of practising restraint, putting your needs above his. Even if it meant he was left, rock hard. With the most painful erections he'd have to soothe all on his own.
Being with you came with a cost, and it was nothing he couldn't handle.
But even a man as unbreakable as Clark had his limits.
And they were tested in the form of a sweet apology offered to him, all wrapped up in pretty lace.
Presenting yourself to him like sin and temptation. From the second he came home. He had you bent over his bed, hips up for him, with a sparkly butt plug.
"Gosh — sweet pea." A groan tears through him at the sight of you. Even more so when you sway your ass teasingly, the sparkle catching in the lights.
"All this for me?"
Clark had been subtly hinting at it to you for weeks now. As shy as he was, there was no tasteful way he could put it.
He wanted to fuck your ass.
Whether it was his thumb probing itself into that tight ring when he had his cock stuffed into your pussy, or when he'd tongue fuck your ass.
Clark was far from subtle. He just didn't want to put you in an uncomfortable position if you didn't want to do it.
Which you were apprehensive about at first, like any reasonable person would be. But after blowing off his birthday dinner? Just to chase a lead?
This apology had to be big.
And it came with a heart-shaped butt plug that you eased into yourself, waiting for him to come home and surprise him.
God was he more than happy to ignore the fact that you'd prioritised work over him again.
He'd kicked off his clothes in record speed. Hopping over to the bed while taking his oxfords off one by one. Tumbling into the ground after having tripped over his own slacks.
He was aching. Clark thinks he might just die if he doesn't manage to stick his dick into whatever hole of yours you had to offer.
You squealed in delight when he'd tackled you, his cock poking at your thigh in displaced excitement. You loved seeing him like this, loved seeing him all desperate for you.
"Are you — haha! Clark. Are you just gonna —"
"Mmhm…shh." He'd been burying kisses into every sensitive spot he could nuzzle into. At the nape of your neck, down to the column of your throat, and even beneath your arms.
"This is my present, is it not?" Your teeth hook on your lower lip when he playfully snaps the band of your panties.
"Oh, you bet your ass it is."
You grinned into his jaw, hips tilting instinctively when he pushes the lace off your underwear away from your cunt. He groans at the sight of your slick having stained your inner thighs.
"Geez…so…goshdarned wet f'me while stuffing your ass with this pretty thing…"
A whine leaves your lips when he flicks at the plug. Watching it move in and out from your arousal.
"Mhn…a-all for you."
"Yeah? All for me?"
He smiles, kissing down your neck while he grabs at the base, twisting around it.
"Wanna hear it from you, sweet thing." Clark's words grazed your neck, rolling and pushing it deeper into you.
"Uhn….Clark…"
"Tell me what you want."
It was clear — he wasn't going to move an inch unless he heard it from you.
"Claaark…need you in me. Please…"
You giggle at the barrage of kisses and at him teasing you. "Here?" It slips to a groan when he pulls out the heart plug. Leaving you to clench around nothing.
A guttural groan follows suit when his thick, fat cock head pushes past the ring of tightness. Clark's eyes nearly roll back when you practically suck the whole tip in.
"O-Oh gosh. Oh gosh. Baby —"
It's short-lived. Because why wouldn't the universe play a cosmic joke, why wouldn't you get a call right when he was finally getting to fuck his girlfriend's ass?
Damn near comical was what it was. You'd snapped into work mode in a matter of seconds. All while your boyfriend was deep in your asshole.
"Yes. What's up? Did you find what I was looking for?" You'd propped yourself up onto your elbows, slinking out and grabbing a pen from the bedside table to scribble a number down onto a notepad.
Clark wasn't an idiot. He knew what was coming.
I'm so sorry, baby. I gotta run.
This is the news of a century, babe!
Ohhh my god, this is sooo gonna make the headlines.
There were a billion more he couldn't care enough to name. But somehow, now — while his cock was throbbing, twitching, coated with your slick, left unattended like trash.
It wasn't just that he was robbed of a good fuck, it was the fact that you'd once again chosen your career over him. His wants and needs which were a simple list with one thing.
You.
"I'm —"
No. He doesn't say it outright, but it comes in the form of a peck.
"—mmf—so, so —…"
Another peck.
"—unh! Sorry —" And another, "baby…"
You hold his jaw to stop the last kiss, pouting and offering him one last consolation peck.
"Two hours tops. I pro—" It comes with no warning. "—hmmiisee…—!"
His cock poked at your ass, and he thrusted up once and hard. Palms planted on your hips, holding firm enough to bruise.
"C-Clark — s-shit." You grunt out, not recognising your own voice, it sounded primitive, disgusting.
And yet, you felt so fucking good when he began to snap his hips in and out of the tight muscle.
"Honey — sh-shoot. O-Oh good —gosh, you're — o-oh!"
Your confusion is quickly replaced by unbridled, unadulterated pleasure. Both his groans and what you were currently feeling had unlocked new doors for you.
The back door in particular.
Clark had you pinned down to the bed all goddamn night. Pumping you deep full of cum in your guts, pushing his spend further with every thrust — collecting and pooling in you.
"Ugh! B-Baby, oh, I'm gonna come."
By the time he reached his sixth orgasm of the night, your thighs were left quivering. Squirt splattering back to Clark's sticky, messy abdomen every time his cock sheathes itself into your ass, alternating that and fucking your guts so damn deep you might be pushing out his cum for days.

Part 1
The ballroom hums with expensive laughter. The room is filled with crystal chandeliers fracturing light across the polished marble floor, gliding accents, and too many politicians congratulating themselves in the same breath they butter dinner rolls.
The champagne never stops flowing. Neither do the egos.
But here you are, on autopilot. Balancing a try of flutes, smile stretched cheek to cheek, weaving between mobs of suits that smell like entitlement and overpriced cologne. But every time there’s a moment, a break in the routine, every time you slip into the kitchen to refill your tray, your hand strays towards your pocket.
Your phone.
Your thumb swipes over the screen, instinctively, pulling up that tiny, obscure instagram handle. His handle. The one he gave you, that no one else seems to know exists,
@ supe.in.motion
His posts are mundane, it’s almost laughable. Metropolis skylines, sunrises from odd angles, a blurry shot of some pigeons on the Daily Planet. But you scroll through it like it’s scripture. Searching in every picture, reading and rereading the simple captions he left behind.
And it’s replaying in your mind. Especially tonight.
That low voice in your ear, fraying throughout the call. The way he called you sweetheart. Your little secret.
“—oooh, what’s this?”
You jolt, angling your phone away, but it’s too late. Your coworker, Jesse, leans in with a grin, balancing the plate of hors d’oeuvres on his arm away from you.
“You’re smiling at your phone, who’s the lucky guy?’
“Nobody,” you hiss, turning the phone from his view, and trying to will away the bright red creeping its way your cheeks.
Jesse peeks anyway, catching a glimpse of the profile. His eyes light up. “Oooh, is that his profile? Is he your sneaky link? Lemme see—“
“Nope.” You shove another tray into his prying hand, and sidestep out of reach.
“You wanna help me survive this shift? Keep moving, pass those out to someone else before Senator ‘Im-the-most-important-here’ throws a fit and starts yelling about the food service again.”
He laughs, tossing a “Heard!” over his shoulder as he heads back onto the floor.
You exhale, pressing the phone to your chest before forcing yourself to put it away. No more distractions. Not here.
But your fingers betray you one last time, pulling up twitter in a quick swipe, already flying across the keys:
Stuck at work on a Friday night surrounded by old men in suits
0/10 don’t recommend
You toss the phone into your apron pocket before grabbing another tray of champagne flutes, mind already swirling, and slip back onto the floor, back into routine.
Theres clusters of tuxedos and sequin gowns, the sound of champagne flutes clinking, and posh laughter. You balance the tray against your palm, passing carefully through the crowd, offering your practiced smile that never reaches your eyes to passersby.
From a distance, you probably look effortless. Gliding between the gaps of guests with your tray held steady. But up close, you’re starting to feel the strain in your shoulders, the ache in your wrists from the weight of glasses, the low hum of irritation at the way no one ever really spares you a second glance. Not as a person, just as part of the event.
Still, you wear the smile. Keep your head down. In and out. Its just easier that way.
“Champagne?” You murmur, smooth but neutral customer service voice coming forward.
A senator you vaguely recognize, now tie loosened, eyes glassy, and face flushed, snatches a flute from your tray a little too eagerly.
“Well, don’t you look serious,” he booms, sloshing the contents of the glass around dangerously close to the rim. “Whys a pretty girl like you working on a Friday night, huh? Should be over here, having fun with us?”
You blink, smile tightening. “Oh, no, I’m fine. Thank you though.”
He doesn’t hear you. Or maybe he does, but the drink in his hand is more interesting. He claps a hand on another politicians back, launching into another story about golfing on Sundays. Your response is brushed off quicker than the laws they should be signing.
You hover for a moment, though. Tray balanced, waiting to see if he’s going to drop the glass. Then, when it’s clear you’ve been dismissed as quickly as interrupted, you slip away. Your shoulders tight but smile still plastered on for the next bunch of guests.
Back in motion. Back in autopilot.
And all the while, you can’t help but think. Maybe if you’d tweeted something like, “currently stuck serving champagne to drunk politicians, send help superman”
He might actually read it.
You keep your steps smooth, gaze forward as your mind drifts farther than the gala.
The senators voice fades into the background noise as you coast further into the party, drowned out by the echo of another mans. That low, velvety voice. Sweetheart. You can almost hear the way it escaped his lips. Heavy with hunger, like he was pressing the word into your skin.
Your tray wavers slightly as you step. In your head, he’s still there. Whispering what he’d do to you if he were with you instead of hovering god knows where in the city. His mouth on you, drawing sounds from your pressed lips like confessions. His quiet command, touch your clit for me.
Heat flares in your stomach at the memory, causing you swallow hard. Your pulse skips and you’re suddenly aware of the weight of your phone in your apron pocket. Tethered back to him if you dared to touch it.
“Hello?”
The voice cuts in, sharp and nasally, snapping you upright.
A woman in a bedazzled gown, rhinestones catching every bit of light, is staring at you like you’ve committed a personal offense. Her perfectly manicured nail jabs downward.
“Are you even listening?” She snaps
Your stomach drops.
On the marble floor at her feet, lie a champagne flute in ruin. Bubbly liquid spreading in a golden puddle around the jagged shards. The woman sniffs, tilting her chin high.
“I reached for one and it just slipped. Someone should really be more careful.”
Shit.
Before you can sputter a response, Jesse appears at your side like some blessed, tray bearing angel. His brow lifts in a silent, ‘you good?’ but he doesn’t wait for an answer. He takes your tray smoothly from your hands with a wink.
“Go,” he mutters only to you.
You exhale in relief, already digging for the folded towel tucked in your pocket. Dropping low, you press the cloth against the spill. Collecting bubbles and splinters of glass as quickly as possible.
The marble is cold under your knees, even through the dark work pants you adorn. The woman’s perfume is clouding above you, and it’s almost suffocating. Your heart still hasn’t settled from the memory of the voice that called you mine just days ago.
But right now? You couldn’t feel farther from it.
You’re still crouched low, blotting the fizz and sweeping shards into a neat little pile with the folded towel, when an empty appetizer plate catches your eye. Perfect. With careful hands, you scoop the broken glass onto the plate, balancing it against your palm as you rise to your feet.
Thats when the shouting starts.
At first, it sounds like some entitled donor being louder for attention, but then an unmistakable crack of glass breaking against stone rings through the ballroom. A sharp scream follows.
Your stomach drops.
The crowd shifts, waves of sequins and tuxedos pulling back as masked men in all black tactical gear storm the floor, their weapons glossy against the chandelier lights.
They begin barking orders. Money, artifacts, leverage. You can’t even track it all over the sudden roar of panic from the crowd.
“Everybody down!” One shouts, rifle waving high.
The senator from earlier drops to the floor, clutching his wife’s arm, the pair wide eyed. The woman who chastised you is sobbing behind her jeweled hands. Staff scatter instinctively, pressing themselves against the walls or frozen in place.
Your heart goes wild.
But even was your hands shake, your response is automatic. You’re reaching for your phone.
The first tweet is quick, almost detached.
Omg this night just got so much worse. Men w/ guns. Horrible way to end my shift
The second comes before you could second guess yourself.
Should’ve stayed home and thirsted over superman instead smh
Your heart hammers as you press your back against the wall, sliding low as your coworker shoots you a startled look. But you’re still typing a third with a shaky smirk, half a joke and half a plea.
@ Superman there’s a situation over here at halcyon. Kinda need ur help??? lol
The plate in your other hand feels oddly fragile compared to the chaos unfolding around you.
One of the gunmen is sweeping his gaze across the crowd, barking at servers to drop their trays, and forcing guests down into trembling groups. Your throat tightens, but in the confusion you spot a gap.
Clutching the plate, you weave quickly between the waves of horrified guests, keeping your head down to match the crowd to get to a service hallway. Jesse and two other coworkers are already there, faces pale, holding each other. When they spot you, Jesse reaches for your arm and pulls you into the huddle.
“What the fuck is happening…” One whispers, voice shaking.
You’re still holding the plate like it’s a lifeline as your chest heaves. Your phones still burning in your other hand.
And somewhere in the city, you pray someone saw your tweet.
But for now, the hallway is suffocatingly quiet. Jesse presses a finger to his lips every time someone even so much as shifts their weight. The others sit stiff against the wall. White knuckled and pale.
Your phone buzzes in your lap. Jesse shoots you a look.
You almost drop it, heart beating hard in your ears. Until you tilt the screen and see the notification.
Superman liked your tweet.
You clamp your lips shut to smother the laugh that threatens to come out, this is hysterical.
Jesse glares at you, are you seriously on twitter right now?
But you can’t look away from the little glowing heart.
The minutes stretch. Out in the ballroom, the masked men prowl. Voices sharp and ugly, shouting something about wire transfers, ‘make the call!’, ‘well bleed you pricks dry!’ Every shout ricochets off your ribs.
Then, your hair stands on end.
Theres a shift in the air.
At first, it’s subtle. A faint vibration you feel more than hear. A low thrum in your bones. The crystal chandeliers above the hallway give the faintest rattle. A shiver of wind licks at the cracks in the windows.
You know that sound. You know.
The room hushes all at once. Then, from beyond the door, a collective gasp rises in the ballroom.
The skylight above explodes inward, raining shards of glass onto the floor below.
He drops through like judgement itself. His cape blazing behind in a deep red against the glare of the lights. The impact of his boots on the marble reverberates through the floor beneath your knees. It’s steady, grounding, even as broken glass rains down around him.
“Superman,” someone breaths. It’s a sob, but also a prayer.
The masked men scramble, their careful demeanor quickly slipping into raw panic. One man swings his gun towards him, but the rifle is swiped away like a toy, quickly being bent into a useless twist of metal. Another makes a run for the side exit, but heat vision, burning red flashes, and the door hisses as the metal morphs. A third lunges at Superman, only to be shoved back with one hand to his chest, sent barreling into a catering table.
It’s over in minutes.
Police sirens wail outside as they get closer. Officers rush in, guns drawn as they sweep the building. Superman speaks briefly with them, his voice calm yet commanding. Directing people to safety and handing over the disarmed men as if it’s just another Tuesday.
You’re still clutching that plate of broken glass like an idiot when the police get to your group. They do a once over, and move on to the next bunch. You’re stuck watching him with your heart caught somewhere between your throat and your stomach, though. Because now you know him not just as a speck on the skyline, or the voice on the other end of the line. But as someone who came when you called.
And maybe, just maybe, because it was you that called.
The chaos finally sizzled out. The ballroom humming with the frantic relief of survivors as they file out into their private limos. You spot him standing off to the side, speaking to an officer as the cuffed men are led to cars outside.
Your legs carry you forward before you can stop and rationalize.
“Uh.. hi,” you manage, clutching the towel uselessly against your front.
His head turns, and it’s almost worse seeing him up close. His eyes are brighter, steadier than you imagined. They flicker across your features, thoughtful.
“You’re…” you swallow. “I mean— I just wanted to say thank you. Im—“ you give him your name, a bit awkward and rushed. Like you’re afraid your voice will betray you.
He tilts his head, gaze softening on you. “I know that voice.”
The words punch you in the chest.
Your throat goes dry. He knows.
“Oh…” you blink awkwardly, feeling the flush crawl up your throat. “Yeah.”
It comes out smaller than expected, like you’ve been caught. You instantly regret it, shoulders curling in as though you can physically tuck the memory of that late night phone call out of sight.
Superman, Superman, chuckles softly. The sound is warm, low, and far gentler than it has any right to be.
“Don’t be embarrassed.” He says, cocking his head to the side slightly, grin tugging at the corners of his mouth. “Im glad I remembered someone like you.”
Your heart does something complicated and stupid in your chest. He’s not even really flirting, but the way his gaze holds yours, as if you’re the only other person in the room. It makes it impossible to breathe like a normal human being.
You force a laugh, nerves turning it sharp around the edges. “Someone like me? Should I be flattered, or worried you keep tabs on all your twitter fans?”
His grin widens, playful and amused at the same time. “Maybe both”
You can’t help it. You laugh, genuinely this time, shoulders loosening for the first time tonight. For the briefest moment, you forget the wreckage of glass littering the ground. The chaos of the hostage situation. The fact that you’re still in your apron and probably smell like hors d’oeuvres. It’s just you and him, in this hazy ballroom. Standing close enough that you can see the faint glint of glass dust caught in his hair from his entrance.
Then a sharp voice cuts through the bubble around you two. “Superman!” An officer gestures him over, clipboard in hand. “We need a statement before transport.”
You jolt. “Oh! Yeah, of course, you’re busy—“
But he doesn’t move right away. Instead, he dips his head ever so slightly, voice soft enough that only you can hear. “Wait. Before you go… can I see you later?”
For a second, the words don’t register. Your mind blanks and catches on every syllable like a broken record.
“Uh,” Your face is burning so hot you’re shocked you don’t burst into flames on the spot. “Yes. Yeah. Definitely.”
His smile this time is unmistakable. Brilliant, pearly whites flashing with that kind of grin that sells news papers and saves worlds in the same breath. “Good.”
And then, as smoothly as if your entire universe hadn’t just tilted on its axis, he tuns and strides toward the waiting officer.
You’re left standing there alone. Gripping your apron like a lifeline, trying to remember how to walk properly.
When you finally do turn, Jesse’s staring at you from across the room, mouth hanging open so wide you’re pretty sure a fly could set up camp there.
“Holy shit,” He hisses the second you’re in earshot. “Was superman just flirting with you, girl?”
You nearly choke on your own laugh, smacking him lightly with the towel still balled up in your hand. “No! No, he wasn’t, don’t be ridiculous.”
“Ridiculous?” He repeats, eyes bugging. “Ridiculous? He smiled at you like you just handed him a winning lottery ticket and asked if he could see you later. Babe, that man was ready to risk it all.”
“Stop, stop, my cheeks hurt” You cant stop laughing, cupping your face with your palms, cheeks aching as you brush past him. Your heart won’t stop going crazy. “You’re just imagining things now”
But Jesse keeps muttering to himself as you head back toward the hallway, something along the lines of ‘Holy fuck’ and ‘I saw that with my own eyes’
Before you get the chance to defend yourself again, your boss’s voice cuts through the chatter, sharply commanding, “Alright, everyone back in! Grab your things, stay together. We’re shutting down for the night.”
Just like that, the spell breaks. Staff shuffle into line, exhausted and shaken up. Collecting their coats and bags under your managers watchful gaze. You sling your bag over your shoulder, apron tucked inside, and fall into step with Jesse as the group filters toward the employee exit.
The adrenaline is still flowing through your system, leaving you buzzing. You tell yourself you’ll process it all later, but his smile, his words, are swirling around your head despite it all.
Can I see you later?
You hug your bag a bit tighter as you walk out into the crisp night.
The subway car is nearly empty when you step on, just the rattle of the tracks and fluorescent hum of lights overhead filling the space. You sink into corner sear, bag tucked to your chest, and let your head rest against the window. The night outside is a blur of tunnels and passing darkness, and your mind wont keep up as it keeps skipping back to everything.
His grin
His voice, low enough for you to hear, ‘can I see you later?’
The way your name sounded in his mouth, on his lips. Like he’d always known it.
You bite back a smile, pressing your lips to your knuckles like it’ll keep it contained.
Then your phone buzzes.
Not a text this time, not just a notification
A call.
You freeze when you see the name, his name, the one attached to the tiny instagram account.
“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” your voice is a whisper in the empty train, equal parts disbelief and hysteria. You hesitate for a moment, then swipe to answer before your nerves completely take over.
“Hello?”
“Hey.” His voice is quiet in your ear, phone pressed close. And it’s him, no doubt in your mind. “I hope this isn’t too forward. I just… didn’t feel like waiting.”
Your stomach does a flip. “I wasn’t exactly expecting you to call,” you admit, a laugh coming out nervous and airy.
“Would you rather I hadn’t?”
“No,” you say too quickly. Heat rushes to your cheeks, though no one’s around to hear you trip over yourself. “No, I… I’m glad you did.”
There’s a pause from him, heavy yet warm. It’s filled with the sound of him breathing faintly on the other end. “Where are you?”
“On the train. Heading home from work.” You shift in your seat, glancing at the dim reflection of yourself in the window between passing lights. “Im a few stops away. Getting off at—“ you name the street. “It’s not too far from my place.”
“Good,” he says, something sure and almost relieved in his tone. “I’ll meet you there. Don’t hang up.”
Your mouth does dry. “You’re… what?”
“I’ll meet you when you get off the train.”
It’s ridiculous, you think. Impossible. And yet, when the train finally screeches to a stop, your heart starts hammering so hard it’s almost drowning out the scratchy announcement of the station name. You tuck your phone against your ear, throwing your bag over your shoulder, and climb the stairs two at a time.
The night air sweeps down the steps, against your flushed cheeks as you step out of the station. The city is quieter here, side streets half lit and sleepy at this time of night. Nothing like the chaos of the gala earlier.
Still, you spot him.
Leaning casually against the lamppost at the corner of the street, cape stirring gently in the night breeze, like this is the most natural thing on the planet. He straightens when you catch his eye, the faint smile tugging at his lips.
“Hey.”
“Hi.”
There’s an awkward pause between you two, before you inhale sharply.
“My place is that way,” you motion behind him.
“Right, right,” he nods, a bit too eager.
You begin to make the trek, and he falls into step beside you like he’s done it a million times before. The sight of superman, actual superman, walking casually through your quiet neighborhood is enough to make you short circuit. His cape barely whispers against the pavement, hands tucked loosely at his sides. You sneak a glance here and there, acting like this is totally normal. Like you didn’t sext him into oblivion a few nights ago.
“You’re quiet,” he says after a block, voice low but almost amused.
“Im… processing,” you admit, cheeks warming. “It’s not everyday Superman shows up to walk me home.”
His grin is quick, sharp against the dimples in his cheeks. “Guess I’ll have to make it a habit.”
You almost trip over a crack in the sidewalk.
By the time you both reach your building, your nerves are humming, buzzing so loudly you can barely hear yourself think. You fumble with your keys, trying not to drop them, and push the door open.
“Um. Come in?”
He nods, ducking slightly under the doorframe, stepping inside like he belongs here. Your apartment suddenly feels five times smaller, his presence filling every nook and cranny.
The air feels thick, a bit uncertain as you hang your jacket. You can’t help but blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. “Okay, so, uh… welcome to my humble abode! This is the living room-slash-kitchen. As you can see, very chic, very tiny apartment I’m overpaying for.” You smile sheepishly.
He chuckles, following your half dramatic wave as you point to the small couch, the little table with mismatched chairs, and sink piled with dishes you definitely should’ve done earlier.
“And over here,” you continue, leaning into the bit because if you don’t, you think you’ll explode. “Is my cat. The real owner of the apartment. Be nice, he’s the landlord.”
Your cat blinks up from his perch on the arm of the couch, tail flicking, and completely unimpressed. Superman crouches slightly, extending his hand toward him.
“Hi there,” he says softly, baby voicing your fur baby.
He sniffs for a long moment, then headbutts his knuckles.
“Wow,” you say, jokingly mocking him to cover up the fact that your chest is tight. “Even my cat likes you. Thats... annoying”
He looks up at you with a slow smile, making it even harder to breathe properly.
“Well he just has good taste,” and shrugs playfully.
You laugh, and it comes out more nervous than witty. But you keep moving, heart hammering, pointing vaguely toward the short hallway. “And, uh, the tour concludes with the world’s smallest bathroom. No need to see that. And, um, my bedroom.”
You nudge the door open, trying to make yourself sound as normal as possible, like of course I’m just casually inviting the most powerful man on earth into my bedroom, totally normal thing to do!
The room is dim and cozy, a little messy from your rushed morning. Books stacked on the nightstand, a half finished glass of watery ‘iced’ coffee, your fuzzy blanket draped carelessly over the edge of the bed. He steps inside, eyes scanning the space with quiet interest as you point out random objects.
You linger in the doorway, fiddling with your bag. “So yeah… thats, uh, pretty much it. End of the grand tour.” You pull out your apron, folded and still faintly smelling of alcohol and appetizers. You shove it into the hamper.
When you turn back, he’s by the bed.
His fingers ghost over the edge of the blanket, petting the soft fabric almost absentmindedly. His expressions unreadable for a moment, then, his mouth curves, and he glances over his shoulder at you.
“So…” his voice dips low, that velvety tone you know all too well. “This is the bedroom you were touching yourself to me in, right?”
The words hit you like lightning, straight through your core. Your breath stutters, body freezing mid step, closet door still in your grasp.
“…Oh my god,” you choke out, heat flooding your face. “You...you can’t just say that—“
“I can’t?” He turns fully toward you now. Hip pressed against the bedpost, and arms crossing over his chest in a way that makes his shoulders look unfairly broad. There’s that gleam in his eyes again, mischievous, teasing, and playful, but edged with something heavier.
“Because I remember every word you said on the phone. And now I can picture you, right here, making those pretty sounds for me.”
Your knees almost give out.
“Okay, wow.” You force a laugh, high pitched and quick. As if you’re trying to stop the room from tilting. “So you’re just gonna what? weaponize my horniness against me?”
His grin deepens. “Seems to be working.”
And it is. God, it is. Your whole body feels fuzzy. Heat brewing low in your stomach. You clutch the closet door like it’s the only thing keeping you grounded, every nerve ablaze with the fact that he’s here. In your bedroom, of all places. Giving you that look you’ve only ever imagined.
You can’t bring yourself to move from where you’re half perched against the closet door, hand twitching uselessly at your side as you pick at the wood with the other. The room feels heavier, air humming around you with need, and you’re hyperaware of every breath you take.
Your eyes keep flicking to the door, the wall, your blanket, anywhere but him.
“You keep staring at that door,” he says, tone light but lined with amusement. “Is it really that interesting?”
Your gaze snaps back to him. He’s still leaning on the bed frame, one hand tracing the fuzzy blanket like he’s not the least bit rattled. But his eyes, they’re steady, pinning you in place.
“It’s a nice door,” you mutter weakly, defensive heat crawling up the back of your neck. “Very reliable. Solid wood.”
He laughs again. That soft but low one, already knowing what game you’re playing at. “You’re nervous.”
“Im not nervous.”
“Sweetheart,” he says, the pet name curling through the air like smoke, sending a shiver down your spine. “You’re holding onto that doorknob like it’s gonna save you.”
Your fingers instantly unclench from the metal. “Shut up.”
He pushes off the bedpost, taking a slow step towards you. The space shrinks. You don’t breathe. You can’t.
Another step, and then he’s close enough that the edge of his hand brushes yours, feather light, delicate.
The contact is nothing, barely there, and yet it sets your entire body alight.
You glance up at him, startled by the intensity of his gaze. There’s no smirk, no grin. Just a quiet hunger simmering under the surface, waiting for your permission to pounce.
Your pulse stutters
“See?” He murmurs, vibrations practically thrumming through your chest. “Not so scary up close.”
In a flash, he shifts. Already lowering himself to sit on the edge of your bed before you get a chance to reply. The mattress drips beneath his weight, grounding and dreamlike all at once. He settles easily, relaxed, but his gaze still makes your buckle.
Then, like gravity itself is pulling you, you find yourself stepping forward.
Closer.
Closer still, until you’re standing between his knees.
His cape drapes across your comforter, and his thighs are brushing against yours. He tilts his head back slightly, looking at you from this new angle. the corners of his mouth twitching as he’s fighting a smile.
You can feel the heat of him burning up through the gap between you, your nerves screaming with awareness. Knees brushing the edge of the wooden bedframe as you hover. The space is impossibly small, yet you can’t make yourself move any closer.
“Better than the door?” He asks softly.
Your laugh catches in your throat, shaking, “little bit.”
He notices. He always he does.
His big hands rest lazily on his thighs, but after a moment, one shifts. His fingers ghost upward, tracing the outside of your leg in a slow, absent minded path. Barely a touch. Just enough to make your skin prickle in its wake.
“You’re trembling,” he says, almost to himself.
“Im not,” you whisper, though your voice betrays you with an uneven crack.
That damn grin curls at the corner of his mouth. “You were braver on your phone.” His thumb presses just slightly into your thigh before retreating, teasing you with pressure and release. “Quicker with your words. But now?”
Your breath hitches.
“Now you’re shy.” He leans in, close enough that you can feel the faint brush of his breath against your wrist. “Cute.”
You can’t bring yourself to look at him. Your gaze fixes stubbornly on the ceiling fan, then the window, anywhere but his piercing blue eyes. But every time his fingers skim your leg, it drags you back down to him.
“Hey,” he says gently, pausing mid touch. “Look at me.”
It takes everything in you, but you finally oblige. And when your eyes lock, you see not sarcasm, but patience. Warmth. As if he’s daring you to believe he actually wants this, wants you.
Your heart lurches.
He tilts his head, eyes scanning your face, then lets out a soft laugh. “Thats better. There you are.” His hand resumes its slow pace, fingertips drawing lazy shapes along your thigh. “I like this view much better.”
Your insides do a twist, a storm of nerves and excitement washing over you. He’s too much. Too close. Too... him.
“You always this talkative?” You manage lowly.
“Only when someone makes me curious.” His smile deepens. One hand slides just a smidge higher, brushing the edge of your hip before retreating again. “And you make me very curious.”
You swallow hard, pulse pounding in your head. He makes you dizzy, so dizzy. His teasing is unraveling you piece by piece and he knows it. He’s enjoying it.
But within a second, something shifts inside you. A warmth spreads in your chest. A spark of courage flaring inside by the way he’s looking at you, knowing what he’s trying to play with you.
And you can’t help but think, two can play this game.
So you lean in, just enough that your knee presses firmer between his legs. Your lips twitch upward as you murmur, “what’s the matter? Cat got your tongue now?”
For the first time, he falters. His grin freezes, eyes widening slightly at your boldness.
“Oh?” He breaths, leaning back just a hair, as if he’s reassessing. “Thats new.”
You let your smirk linger, encouraged by his reaction. “What? Didn’t expect me to bite back?”
His tongue sweeps across his lower lip, and his hands flex on his thighs. His laugh is lower this time, rougher. He tilts his head like you’ve just rewritten the rules of this game.
“Careful,” he says, dark and promising. “You might like where that gets you.”
And all at once, the tension is stretched tight. The rope tugging you closer to him is seconds from snapping.
You arch a brow, playing braver than you feel, “maybe thats the point.”
His grin returns, slow, deliberate, almost dangerous. “Oh, sweetheart…”
His hand slides higher, warm against your hip now. Thumb peeking just under the hem of your shirt. “You really shouldn’t say things like that unless you mean them.”
Your inhale sharply, refusing to look away this time. “Who says I don’t?”
For a split second, he just stares at you, unblinking, like he’s weighing the truth of your words. And then he moves, swift but unhurried. A large hand cupping the back of your neck, tugging you closer until your forehead is brushing his.
His breath fans across your lips, but he doesn’t kiss you yet.
“You’re staring at me like you want something?” He teases, voice low and almost smug. “What do you want?”
“You know exactly what I want.”
Thats all it takes. His mouth claims yours in a sudden, hungry kiss. Lips firm and hot, drawing a muffled gasp out of you. The world tilts when he pulls you closer, guiding your hips forward until you find yourself straddling his thighs. Your knees braced against the edge of the bed.
He deepens it, tongue brushing yours with that measured patience he showed before. Tasting you, teasing you, pulling back just when you try to chase the feeling of him.
“God,” he murmurs against your lips. “You taste better than I imagined.”
You laugh a bit shaky, letting your fingers in his hair ground you. “You imagined it?”
“Constantly,” his hands grip your hips harder, holding you steady in his lap. His grin turns wicked. “Don’t act surprised. You’ve been living in my head the past few days, sweetheart. Rent-fucking-free.”
Heat blooms across your chest, stomach flipping in return. You try to hide it with a smirk. “Guess I’m unforgettable then, huh?”
His lips brush against yours again, touch feather light. “More than unforgettable.” He nips at your lower lip, making you gasp. “Addictive.”
You shiver, trying to keep control. But your body betrays you. Pressing closer, thighs tightening around his hips.
“Mm.” he pulls back slightly, eyes half lidded, searching your features. “See. Told you you’d like where this gets you.”
“And you’re awfully smug about it,” you whisper, smile giving you away.
He laughs softly, the sound low in his chest, then tugs you closer until your noses brush again. “I can’t help it. Not when you’re finally where I want you.”
Your kisses turn messy fast, tongues tangling, teeth knocking against teeth. You can’t tell if you’re trying to kiss him or consume him. His hands are roaming your body greedily. One anchored on your ass, the other skimming up your back like he’s memorizing your curves.
Your fingers twitch where they clutch the front of his suit, tugging and tugging, until you finally dare to reach around the back, searching for a way to get him out of it. You find the zipper, fingertips wrapping around the cool metal and pulling slightly. Just enough to press your palm against warm skin and pull him closer. His mouth doesn’t dare tear away from yours in the process, groaning low against you, sending the feeling through your bones.
“Christ,” he mutters against your jaw, sucking hard enough to leave a mark. “You’re driving me insane.”
You giggle, fingers numb with nerves. “You’re one to talk”
Then he pulls back, eyes low, pinned to where your top gapes open slightly. He fiddles with the buttons gently as the curve of your bra shows, delicate lace against flushed skin.
“Baby…” his voice is rough. A warning, a prayer, its not quite clear.
“Don’t stop looking at me like that.”
Something in him snaps. He shrugs his broad shoulders and his hands release you, unclipping his crimson cape, letting it fall to the side in a heavy pool of fabric. The sight makes your throat dry.
Before you could start, he’s on you again. Mouth finding yours desperately, while his hands slide down to grip your thighs, pulling you flush against his pelvis. You gasp as the hard line of him presses perfectly where you’re aching, hips moving instinctively.
The friction sends jolts through you both. He groans into your mouth, the sound ragged, fighting to hold himself back.
“Fuck,” you whisper, grinding again, feeling bolder this time.
He tilts his head back, eyes shut and jaw clenched tight. “You don’t know what you do to me. How hard it is to hold back.”
“Oh” you gasp, fingers tying into his hair as you roll your hips. “I think I do.” You lean forward, taking advantage of his open neck, planting kisses along the tender spot. Sucking hard enough to leave deep purple marks in their place.
The air is thick, tension becoming unbearable. Your shirts bunching up as his hands fumble higher, body arching as his chest presses flush against you. Every moment is slow but desperate, like you’re both drawing it out just to savor how close you are to falling apart.
When his thumb drags over the edge of your bra, teasing the swell of your breast, you stifle a moan. He smirks against your lips, proud of how you’re wearing thin.
“Careful,” he whispers, breath mixing with yours as you whine. “You keep giving me that look. Im not stopping until there’s nothing left between us.”
Your blouse is hanging loose now, his fingers brushing against skin every time you move, dragging the pad of his thumb just under the band of your bra. He’s taking his time with it, unwrapping you like a gift he doesn’t want to tear the paper off too quickly.
“Relax, let me take my time with you.”
The words swirl in your head. Breath stuttering as you slide your palms down his chest, the press of textured fabric brushing against your skin. The ’S’ on his chest is close enough to kiss, but you hold back, savoring the way his eyes darken as you tease him.
You shift in his lap, sliding your knees out further until you’re as close as can be, core impossibly close to the bulge in his suit. The hardness beneath the fabric twitches, solid, sending sparks through you. A shaky laugh escapes you as you grind down, feeling the unyielding strength of him beneath your core.
He moans your name softly, a warning slipping out low and strangled, ruined by a groan that follows.
“What?” You murmur, breath feathering against his jaw. “Am I… distracting you?”
His hand tightens on your hips, but he doesn’t push you off. “I can’t wait much longer”
Your gaze flicks past his shoulder. The bright streak of red, his cape, has slipped halfway off the bed, pooling across the floor. You reach for it, tugging the heavy fabric up and around your shoulders, swirling it dramatically before hooking it into place on the shoulders of your open blouse.
You smirk, settling back down against him. “Huh. It fits better than I thought.”
For a moment, he just stares at you, lips parted. Then one dark brow lifts.
“You’re really going to wear my cape while grinding on me?” His voice is husky, threaded with both disbelief and amusement..
You shrug innocently, rolling your hips with calculated slowness. “What? You left it lying around. Finders keepers.”
He laughs, and its dangerous now. Reverberating through his chest. “Sweetheart, you don’t know what you just started.”
Before you can sass back, his arms hook under your thighs. The motion is so fast, so smooth, you gasp, clutching at his broad shoulders.
“Hey!”
“Hold on,” he says, eyes sparkling. He rises so effortlessly, lifting you as though you’re weightless, and carries you two short steps back to the bed. Your legs twitch as he plants you on your back, his body caging yours, the cape draping around you on the sheets.
Pinned beneath him, your chest rises and falls against the emblem on his suit, the golden mark scratching against your bust.
He smirks, pressing you into the mattress. “We’ll see how long you get to wear it before I take it back.”
His fingers skim up the inside of your thigh, slow but dedicated. He leans down, capturing your lips with a kiss. He’s steady, trying to burn the shape of your mouth into his memory. When he pulls back, his eyes linger, then dip down your body with hunger.
“You know what I’ve been thinking about since the other night?” His lips brush your jaw as he whispers. Moving down to your throat, sucking lightly until you gasp and squirm. His hands trail down, unfastening the final buttons on your shirt to expose more skin for his lips.
“the sounds you made on the phone. Sweet little noises… begging me to tell you what I’d do.”
Your heart races, face burning as need spreads across your skin. “And?” You whisper, already breathless.
“And now I get to show you.”
He kisses down your chest, pausing to nose against the lace edge of your bra, before moving lower. By the time his mouth traces your stomach, your hands are clumsy on your pants button, fumbling to undo it. He beats you to it, though. Fingers slipping past yours as he opens and drags the zipper down with a low rasp of metal.
You shiver as he eases your work pants down your hips, tugging until they’re off and forgotten. You’re left in your undergarments, sprawled beneath the man of steel, his cape half wrapped around you like his claim on you.
“Perfect,” he breathes, eyes darkly roaming you. He kisses the inside of your knee, then your thigh, and higher. It’s slow and driving you mad. His hands spread your legs open, fingertips leaving prints on your skin.
By the time his mouth hovers a breath away from the damp heat of your panties, you’re practically shaking.
“Please,” you whisper, more desperate than you meant to sound.
His grin is wicked, eyes peering up at you filled with sin. “Begging already?”
“Don’t… don’t tease”
But he does. He drags his mouth over the thin fabric, inhaling, groaning against like he’s the one coming undone. The he hooks a finger into the band and slides your panties aside, allowing the cool air to fan over before lowing his mouth to you.
The first touch of his tongue has your back arching, a choked cry escaping your throat. He moans into you like he’s been starved, feasting on you, flattening his tongue against your clit and lapping slow and thorough. Then fast enough to make you whine.
Your hands find his hair, tugging, guiding. “God, I can’t…”
“Thats it,” he mumbles against you.
“Yes, yes. Don’t stop—“
And then, at the very edge, right as your body trembles and tightens, he pulls back.
The sudden emptiness makes you gasp, your climax fizzing away before it hits. You blink down at him, dazed, chest still heaving. “Wh—what...?”
He smirks, chin glistening with you. His eyes dark as he peers up at you. “Not yet.”
You tremble as his hands brush up your sides, the ghost of your orgasm denied leaving you flushed and aching. His hands pause at your hips, pale bruises left from his prior grip on them. A smirk curls at the corner of his mouth as he drags one last teasing lick up your folds before pulling away entirely.
“Why would you stop…“
His thumb presses into a purple mark. “Because I want to hear it.” His voice drops, dark, commanding. “You want me to make you come? Say it.”
Heat rushes to your cheeks, but the desperation burns hotter. “I… I want you to...”
He tilts his head, eyes glinting. “Louder.”
Your pride cracks. “Please, please make me come.”
He flashes you a grin, “Thats my girl.”
He doesn’t waste another second. In one fluid motion, he’s climbing back over you. Tugging your panties down the rest of the way, tossing them aside like nothing. He frees himself from the suit, just enough to bear the length of him. Its thick, tip flushed a deeper shade as it strains in his hand, as he lines it up with you. The press of his cock at your entrance makes you inhale sharply, eyes going wide at his size.
Then he pushes in, inch my inch. Filling you until you’re stretched tight around him, nails clawing at his shoulders.
“Fuck!” You choke out, legs trembling as he bottoms out. This was more than you’d expected.
“God, you feel so good,” he groans, forehead knocking against yours, breath ragged against your cheek. “So damn tight.”
He doesn’t start slow. He pulls back and slams into you, hard enough that the headboard rattles against the wall. You gasp, throwing your arm up to brace the wood, shielding your head as the force rocks you.
You gasp as he scrambled your insides, “Slow— down!” You choke out.
He growls low in his throat, lowering himself, palm sliding protectively to cradle the back of your head as he thrusts harder, deeper, angling until sparks shoot up your spine. His other arm hooks your leg over his shoulder, pinning you open as he drives his cock into you mercilessly.
Each thrust punches sweet, helpless moans from your throat, his rhythm relentless. His mouth finds yours again, teeth knocking together, swallowing each sound you make like he can’t get enough.
When he pulls back, sweat dampens his hair, and his eyes are wild, blow with lust.
“you’re mine,” he rasps, fucking into you deeper.
You’re already unraveling once more, voice breaking as you whimper in between strokes. “Please—“
He grits his teeth, then suddenly shifts, wrapping both arms around your thighs. In one quick move, he drags you away from the headboard, hauling you back to the center of the bed. You gasp, dizzy, clutching at the sheets as he settles above you again.
This time, his thumb finds your clit. Pressing hard and circling the bud with precision as he slams into you.
“Come for me,” his voice is hoarse as he demands. “Come on my cock, sweetheart, I want to feel you.”
The coil inside you snaps. You crumble beneath him, back arching off the sheets as the orgasm courses through you, walls twitching around his cock. Your voice breaks with moans, body trembling as he fucks you through it, chasing his own.
“God, thats it,” he growls, thrusts growing sloppy. “So perfect— so fucking perfect”
Your orgasm grabs at him, walls pulsing tight and greedy around his cock and it nearly unravels him on the spot. His pace grow wilder, hips snapping forward in a punishing way that has you gasping for breath beneath him.
“I— I can’t—“ you whimper, nails raking down his arms.
His eyes squeeze shut, jaw tight, a deep noise vibrating in his chest.
“Fuck— ‘m so close” his thumb keeps working your clit even as his hips stutter, trying to drag every last tremor from your body before he lets himself go.
Your thighs shake, overstimulated but still clinging to him, urging him deeper.
“Please, baby, want you to let go”
Thats all it takes. His thrusts slow, stutter, then he buries himself to the hilt with a strangled groan. Heat flooding inside you as his release rips through him, cock twitching as he pumps you full. His forehead drops to your shoulder, breath fanning over your skin as he shudders.
For a long pause, there nothing but the sound of his ragged breathing, and your pulse pounding in your ears. He stays buried deep, holding onto you like you’ll vanish if he lets go.
Finally, with a low exhale, he eases back just enough to look at you. His hairs damp and shiny, curls plastered against his forehead. But his eyes, bright blue and blown wide, are nothing but soft. He cups your cheek, thumb brushing away the dampness there, then presses a slow, tender kiss to your lips.
His thumb runs over your hip, easing the tension in your joints from the position you were in. But eventually his touch softens.
His chest rises with a deep breath, “I should go,” his voice is soft above you, low and reluctant.
You blink at him, still fuzzy from everything thats happened tonight. There’s a quick flash of disappointment that crosses your face before you can hide it. He notices, of course he does, and smiles, apologetic.
“Duty calls,” he adds, brushing a few wet strands of hair off your forehead.
You nod weakly, even though you wish the world could wait for him a little bit longer. “Right. Superman stuff…”
His chest puffs with a quiet laugh, leaning down to capture your lips once more. Slower than all the others, lingering a little longer that tells you everything he can’t put into words right now. When he pulls away, he presses one last peck to your forehead, then gently shifts you down against the sheets.
“Stay,” he mumbles, replacing his cape with your plush blanket. He wraps it snugly around your bare shoulders. “Get some sleep.”
You melt into the softness, a faint hum slipping past your lips as you watch him rise. He gathers his belongings, moving with the same demeanor as someone who’s lived here for years. The familiar click of his cape fastening back into place makes you smile, it’s the most surreal reminder of who he is beyond this room, beyond you.
At the window, he pauses. The city’s quiet below, but sirens wail in the distance. the warmth streetlights paint his silhouette in gold. He looks back at you over his shoulder, and flashes a grin, not the practiced one, the one for you. It makes your chest burn.
“Sweet dreams,” he says softly.
“Yeah, yeah, go save the world,” you whisper back, already drowsy.
Before you can blink he’s gone. The rush of cool night air comes in, the soft sound of glass shifting in its frame. You catch a glimpse of red and blue across the skyline, eyes dipping as they struggle to focus.
The sheets smell like him. Your skin tingles where he touched you. The last traces of adrenaline fade into fuzzy exhaustion. You find yourself rolling over, smiling into the pillow, phone long forgotten as he stays on your mind.
established relationship, big dick! clark, pussy slapping w/ no plot, size kink, dirty talk
you could hear it. the lewd, wet smack echoing through your bed room every time clark tapped the fat head of his dick against your clit. louder than it had any right to be, every slap making your pretty thighs twitch further apart, shame curling in your gut at how much you wanted more.
"too much?" he asked, almost sheepish, though the smug tilt of his mouth gives him away. his dick was in his hand, long fingers wrapped loosely around the thickness of it, and still he lifted it to drop down on you again. thwack. the noise had you gasping, little pussy dripping down onto his sheets.
"clark—" your voice broke, his name spilling out as more of a plea than warning.
"god, baby..." he bit down a groan, eyes stuck on the way your hips jerked every time his heavy cock smacked your swollen clit. "i can feel it bounce off you. you hear that too, don't you? so wet."
"sweet little thing getting all messy just from me playing with you," he teased, dragging his pretty dick down your slit. he pressed the swollen head against your entrance, just enough to stretch you open--then pulled back with that grin, slapping it down on your clit again. "such a greedy pussy...can't decide if it wants me in or on it."
another slap. you whimpered, hands scrambling for purchase, for the sheets, clenching them tight. the sound was obscene, wetter with each hit. your cunt ached, desperate, begging without words for him to give you more than teasing slaps.
"you're gonna bruise me just doing that," you moaned, voice wrecked.
"then i'll kiss every mark better." he dragged the broad head up your slit, slicking himself in your mess, before letting it fall again with a brutal clap that had you moaning out. his grin faltered, shifting darker and hungrier. "but i think you like it, sweetheart. you like that sound."
he was right, and you hated it. your body betrayed you, clenching around nothing, dripping slick down your thighs. the noise filled the room like thunder, filthy and shameless, until he had you dizzy with want.

dividers by me! inspo from love @saradika-graphics!
logan teaches you a lesson…
Logan Howlett is big on manners.
You'd never know it by looking at him. He’s all grit, all sharp edges. You know him too well by now, you can see through all the gruff scowling and machismo.
The man’s old school. He doesn’t like when people interrupt or speak out of turn. Doesn’t like when people whine, or chew with their mouth open, or show up late. He’s got rules, standards. Expectations.
“Say please.”
“Get your elbows off the table.”
“Sit up straight.”
Logan was raised in time where you stood when a lady entered the room, said your pleasantries, and got your mouth washed out with soap if you dared to let a swear slip.
He’s also the biggest fucking hypocrite on the planet.
Even with your tits bouncing in his face, your pussy fluttering around the base of his cock as you ride him hard enough to shake the cheap motel bed frame, he still has the audacity to correct you.
“Fuck–Logan, god, you’re so fucking big–”
A hand slaps your thigh, enough to sting. Not too hard. Not too soft—just right. You moan at the warmth blooming along your skin, rocking down harder on him like it’s a reward.
“Watch yourself.” The cigar in Logan’s mouth bobs up and down as he talks, the cherry red tip burning brighter when he takes another slow drag.
You’ve got both hands splayed out on his hairy chest, the metal of his dog tags clinking together with every bounce. There’s sweat beaded across your brow, dripping down your temple and the length of your spine.
The burn in your thighs is nothing compared to the stretch of him. Thick, hot, pulsing inside you like he owns your pussy, like he’s just gonna sit back and let you fuck your own brain right out of your pretty little head and feel no guilt about it.
The room smells like smoke and sex and something else that’s entirely him.
Logan is leaned up against the scratched headboard, all tan skin and rippling muscle. He’s not even sweating. Smoke curls up past his nose, eyes half lidded, watching you with that dangerous smirk like he’s letting you ride for your sake, not his.
He’s come twice already. You can feel it, the gooey warmth flooding out of your abused hole to drip down the length of his cock and soak the scratchy sheets beneath you. The creamy ring around the base sticks wetly to your drenched folds as you start grinding your hips in slow circles.
Logan hums, another thick plume of smoke flowing from his lips. “Feel’s good, huh?”
His free hand falls to clutch at your hip—a big, strong palm that could crush your pelvis to dust if he wanted to.
You whine, more high pitched than you mean to. “Yes, feel’s so good.”
You moan helplessly, trying to lift yourself again, trying to slam back down. It’s hard—he’s too fucking big, too thick, every drag of him against your insides dizzying and deep, like he’s rearranging something important.
Your head tips back. You swear you can feel him in your belly. And you know he can too, because that big hand drags up from your waist to press flat right over the bulge in your stomach.
“There,” he mutters, rubbing circles into your skin like it soothes the ache instead of making it worse. “That where I’m sittin’, baby?”
You whine, a pathetic sound clawed from the back of your throat. Your hips finally start to rise and fall faster, impaling yourself on the thick length of his cock again and again. The sound of your pussy sucking him in deeper has your ears burning, the wet noise of your slick bouncing off the walls.
You try to nod, but it comes out more like a trembling jerk of your chin. You nails dig little crescent moons into the firm muscle of his pecs, pressing down on the skin until it’s white and threatening to break under your touch.
“Answer me,” Logan rasps, voice thick with smoke and that low growl that never really goes away. “Where am I?”
“In my belly,” you gasp. “Shit, Logan–”
Another sharp slap lands across your ass, this one loud, echoing off the walls of the motel room. You yelp, clenching hard around him.
“What’d I say about that mouth?” he snarls, not even bothering to take the cigar out of his teeth. “You know I don’t like you swearin’ like a goddamn sailor when I’m bein’ so nice and lettin’ you get off.”
You whimper, hips stuttering as he grabs a handful of your ass, spreading you wide. “M’sorry,” you breathe, eyes glassy and wide, “jus’—jus’ feels too good—can’t think.”
He grins around the cigar. “Yeah, that’s what I thought. Dumb little thing can barely ride without losin’ her damn mind.”
Logan plants his feet on the mattress, thrusting up hard. Once. Twice. Three times.
It knocks the air from your lungs, a moan getting trapped in the back of your throat as you collapse against his chest. You bury your nose in the space where his neck meets his shoulder, eyes screwed shut. “Fuck–”
“You say ‘fuck’ one more time, sweetheart,” he warns tersely, leaning over to drop the cigar into the ash tray resting on the nightstand. His rhythm doesn’t even falter, doesn't stutter in the slightest. “And I’m puttin’ you on your back.”
You smirk, even through the daze, even with your mouth hanging open and drool threatening to slip from the corner. You lean in closer, enough to speak directly into his ear, hushed and sugary sweet. “Fuck me, Logan.”
The moment shatters like you took a hammer to a pane of glass.
The next second, the world tilts and you’re flat on your back.
Logan’s body blankets yours, his skin white hot where it drags against your own. Those heavy, metal laced bones press you into the mattress so tightly that you can only lay there and take it.
“I said watch your fuckin’ mouth,” he growls, voice like gravel, like it’s been dragged over a hot engine. His hand slaps down hard on your ass, makes your hips jerk forward and your moan catch in your throat. “Usin’ language like that when I’m bein’ so nice to you? That isn’t the sweet girl I know.”
He feels even bigger like this, his cock carving a place for itself inside you so deep you can feel it in your throat. You can feel the fat head pounding against your cervix, the thick vein running along the side dragging across that special bundle of nerves inside you that have your nails raking angry red welts down his back.
You can feel the tacky beads of blood slicking the tips of your fingers before his skin knits itself back together.
Logan groans at the feeling of it, at the pain. His hands tighten around your hips as he thrusts impossibly faster. Impossibly harder. The lewd slap of skin on skin is all you can hear, loud and sticky with sweat and slick and pre-come.
“Count ‘em for me, baby,” he breathes against your skin, fever hot lips brushing the lobe of your ear with every word. “You’re a big girl. Show me what that smart mouth can do.”
You can’t think, can’t talk. You can hardly breath around the choking pleasure, your thighs pressed to your shoulders restricts your breathing enough to make you feel lightheaded in all the best ways.
“Cat got your tongue, baby?” He drags his cock out halfway, the head catching just enough to make your walls flutter and your toes curl, before slamming back in with enough force to jolt your whole body up the mattress. “Come on, now. Count.”
Your brain fizzes like static, like all the lights in your head got knocked loose and the wiring’s melting. Logan’s cock keeps pounding into you, each thrust punching a weak little noise from your throat, but you try.
You try, because he told you to. And that’s what good girls do.
“One.” The word bubbles up raw from your chest, broken and wet and needy.
Logan fucks into you hard.
“T-two.”
“That’s it,” he coaxes, grinning like the devil, like he owns you. And maybe he does—because you don’t know where you end and he begins anymore. Your body’s his to play with, his to use.
Another thrust, hard enough to sting the skin of your ass.
“Three, ah! Logan, please–”
The edge is so close, so sharp. You’re trembling all over, eyes glassy and unfocused as he presses his palm back against the slight bulge in your stomach, grinding the heel of his hand down until you feel like you’re gonna burst.
“You’re takin’ it so fuckin’ good,” Logan growls, and this time it’s not mocking—it’s reverent. “So fuckin’ deep. Look at you. Stuffed full of cock and still cryin’ for more.”
You clench around him at that, tight and involuntary.
“Oh, you like that?” He grins, eyes gleaming wicked. His teeth, sharp and biting, nip along the side of your neck. Bright red marks lay claim to your skin, you know they’ll be a deep, blotchy purple come morning. “That dumb little pussy squeezin’ on me like she’s tryin’ to keep me. Like she don’t already got all of me.”
You nod again, desperate. Sloppy. Mouth hanging open.
He leans in, foreheads touching, breath mingling. “You want it, baby? Want me to come again in this soaked fuckin’ pussy? Fill you up good?”
You make some pathetic, strangled noise in the back of your throat that could’ve meant yes, could’ve meant please, could’ve meant I love you—but all it earns you is a low groan from Logan as he starts fucking you even harder.
“Better not waste it,” he pants, his heavy balls slapping against your ass. “You wanna act like a dumb slut, you take it like one too.”
You’re already gone.
Everything inside you coils and then unravels all at once, your orgasm tearing through you so violently you scream. You wail like it hurts, like you’re scared, like it’s the first time you’ve ever come in your entire life.
You crest over the edge hard, your orgasm tearing through you so violently your whole body seizes. You scream his name, thighs quaking as your pussy clamps down around him like a vice.
Logan doesn’t stop. Doesn’t even slow. Just chases his own high through the tight, spasming grip of your pussy, snarling against your throat as he thrusts through your aftershocks.
Your name falls from his lips like a prayer. Over and over. Each time a little more hoarse. A little more broken.
Logan hisses, the muscles in his back tightening under your calves. “Jesus Christ, you’re squeezin’ me so tight—gonna milk me fuckin’ dry—”
With one last hard thrust, he buries himself in you as deep as he can and groans into your neck like he got shot.
He snarls when he comes, biting down into your neck like you’re prey and he’s more beast than man. You swear you feel it flood you, hot and thick, leaking out around his twitching cock before he even pulls out.
Your body shakes under his, legs locked around his shoulders, hips twitching helplessly as the last embers of your own orgasm fizzles out to smoke.
“Such a messy girl,” he murmurs, rocking into you even after you’ve gone limp, chasing every last drop of heat he can push into you. “Took it so fuckin’ good, baby. So proud of you.”
You whimper something that might be his name, might be gibberish, but it makes him smile.
Logan finally pulls out with a wet, obscene noise—and you can feel the mess of it, sticky and messy, dripping down between your thighs.
You gasp, hips arching slightly as the emptiness throbs.
He just laughs, low and warm. He falls onto his back beside you with a content huff, chest rising and falling with every quick breath.
“Now,” Logan mutters, eyes glittering with satisfaction, “you gonna watch that mouth, or am I gonna have to fuck the rest of the attitude outta you?”
You grin, slow and sly, voice wrecked and syrupy. “Fuck no.”
He growls—and just like that, he’s on you again.
MINI NAT'S NOTE: oh logan howlett how i've missed you. thank you again anon for sending this ask in, your mind is so beautiful and so big and i wish i could kiss it.
