sage had a terrible habit of writing the ending to a story long before she’d actually read the middle of it. give her half a sentence, one strange look, a flicker of body language, and suddenly her mind was already stitching together tragedies that hadn’t even happened yet. luca, on the other hand, existed at the complete opposite end of that flaw. slower to assume. slower to panic. and somehow sage still never learned she usually had it all wrong. she jumped to conclusions so quickly nobody else ever had time to catch up with her spirals. when she walked in tonight to meet up with everyone, she was the last one there.
and of course, the first thing her eyes found was luca.
his back was facing the door, broad shoulders relaxed beneath dark fabric, and then her attention drifted toward the girl beside him. pretty. smiling too hard. looking up at him with something dangerously close to hearts in her eyes. sage only saw the interaction for maybe two seconds before she immediately veered off, practically sneaking inside toward her friends instead. already she could feel that ugly little sensation blooming in her chest. possessive. jealous. irrational enough to embarrass her if she thought about it too long. especially considering she technically had no right to feel any of it.
so naturally, sage avoided luca entirely. at least she tried to.
because it happened much faster than she expected. she should’ve known better honestly. luca always seemed to find her eventually like he had some internal compass permanently wired toward sage specifically. that was just how they worked. no matter how many people filled a room, somehow they always gravitated back into the same orbit anyway. tangled up in each other whether it made sense or not.
and when his eyes finally landed on her, he gave her that look.
something knowing immediately flickered across his expression, like he’d caught her sneaking in under his nose. there was something playful in it too. familiar. that usual i see you energy they always started with. normally sage would’ve melted a little beneath it. blushed. smiled back. maybe even thrown him some dramatic little flirtatious wave just to keep things going.
not tonight.
instead those thick eyelashes fluttered once before she rolled her eyes heavily the second he smiled at her. luca looked instantly offended. maybe even mildly irritated.
good.
sage turned right back toward the bar afterward, immediately taking shots with a few of her friends while pretending she couldn’t physically feel his attention still sitting on her from across the room. it only took a couple minutes before she felt a hand settle against her waist.
luca. obviously.
sage would’ve recognized his touch anywhere. there was something unfairly familiar about it now, the way his fingers wrapped around her hip like they already belonged there. she rolled her eyes again immediately, pretending she didn’t like it nearly as much as she did. secretly though? this was exactly what she wanted. her friends had already tried talking sense into her. insisting luca probably didn’t even know whoever that girl was. that he’d likely gotten trapped in some random conversation with a stranger. they’d even pointed out luca had already asked where sage was at least three separate times since arriving.
didn’t matter.
sage was already too far inside her own head imagining luca charming somebody else the way he charmed her. imagining some girl somewhere slowly melting beneath his attention. and god, the thought alone nearly had her seething. meanwhile luca’s grip tightened slightly against her waist, fingers sinking low against the curve of her hip while he leaned down toward her ear. his voice came out low. possessive enough to make heat immediately crawl up her spine. teasing her about being moody. about trying to sneak past him like he wouldn’t notice. he sounded almost amused by the idea sage genuinely thought she’d get away with it.
and that little eye roll? yeah, he addressed that immediately too.
sage did what she always did when luca got too close and too smug for his own good. she leaned back just enough for the fabric of her tiny dress to press against the bulge already growing behind her, acting innocent about it while chaos quietly erupted underneath her skin
“oh, i mean i was looking for you at first...then i noticed how busy you were.”
luca was already turning her around before she could fully commit to the attitude, one hand firm against her waist while he angled himself in front of her like he needed to properly inspect the damage. needed to look her in the eyes and figure out what was really going on beneath all the dramatics. sage’s cheeks were already pink by the time he closed the space between them. and the second luca really looked at her, he caught it immediately. the jealousy. ugly and sweet all at once. he started chuckling under his breath almost instantly, fingers moving to brush strands of hair away from her face while he quietly assured her no one else had his attention tonight.
“hm.”
sage answered with all the sarcasm she could manage, though there wasn’t any real bite behind it anymore. she’d softened already. truthfully, she just liked when he chased after her a little. liked when luca gave her extra attention. not in some desperate way because that wasn’t really his nature either. it was something more playful than that. cat and mouse. like both of them already knew the outcome but kept playing anyway because they loved the tension of getting there.
“i don’t know,” she teased lightly, eyes locked onto him in that jaunty little way she had whenever she was instigating on purpose. “maybe you found your dream girl tonight. she definitely had heart eyes for you.” the problem was she was already giggling halfway through it. pushing him just for the hell of it. and with that, sage slipped past him again, mumbling something vague about finding her friends while her hand lazily dragged beneath his belt as she brushed by him. just enough contact to leave behind a spark.
the next couple hours were torture.
the two of them practically undressing each other with their eyes from opposite sides of the room while pretending they weren’t. sage kept laughing too hard at jokes that weren’t that funny, pretending she was still annoyed with him even though she couldn’t really stay mad at luca if she tried. not when he kept smiling back at her like that. giving her those knowing looks from across the room like he was fully entertained by her little act. curly hair falling into his face while he watched her with that lazy confidence that always made her stomach flip over itself.
she was hooked. completely, embarrassingly addicted to him.
and of course, sage was the first one to let her guard down. she eventually wandered off toward the bathroom, a little buzzed by now, carefully shuffling through the hallway in those heels while completely forgetting luca probably still had one eye on her no matter where she went.
then suddenly she felt his grip on her.
instantly recognizable. warm hands catching her around the waist while his voice dropped low against her ear, teasing her about how patient he’d been all night and how sage, as usual, had been nothing but trouble. before she could even properly react, luca was already guiding her into the tiny cramped bathroom nearby.
the lighting was dim and golden, barely enough room for both of them, but somehow that only made everything feel hotter. closer. his hands were already pushing her gently against the sink while sage dissolved into another fit of breathless giggles, pretending to resist him despite leaning right into his touch.
“luca — what are you doing?”
but they both already knew the answer to that. he was already gathering that long wavy hair loosely into his fist, tugging it back the exact way sage liked while his other hand settled around her throat possessively enough to make heat rush straight through her body. she could feel him pressing against the soft curve of her ass now, solid and impatient beneath expensive fabric. luca kept giving her shit for thinking she could outrun him tonight, and by now sage had completely lost whatever self-control she started the evening with. she tilted her head back instinctively so he could kiss her properly, open mouthed and hungry, their tongues twisting together while a quiet hum escaped against his lips.
and then luca’s hands were already sliding beneath the hem of her dress when he noticed the tight black pantyhose clinging stubbornly to her legs. he tried tugging them down impatiently, but the bathroom was too cramped and the fabric too tight against her skin. at one point he nearly pinched her by accident. sage winced softly and immediately both of them broke into laughter, the sound tangled up between frantic kisses and rushed movements. like neither of them could get to each other fast enough.
“okay, in my defense, i didn’t know we were going to fuck in some tiny bathroom. i thought you would take me home first.” sage was still dissolved in a fit of giggles, trying to help shimmy out of the clothes even though she was absolutely no help at all. luca shot back easily that maybe he would’ve taken her home first if she hadn’t spent the entire night teasing him like this. so now she was getting fucked right there against that cold bathroom sink instead. and honestly? some reckless little part of sage loved the idea of him having his way with her anywhere he wanted.
luca pushed her head back down gently, propping her ass against him while his strong hands moved between her legs. sage felt his fingers catch the fabric of the pantyhose before he ripped it clean open without hesitation. she gasped instantly.
“luca!” she squealed at the sharp sound of the fabric shredding apart. he barely even paused, already moving on, one hand steadying sage while the other teased her clit in quick rough strokes that had her melting faster than she could keep up with.
“fuck...”
sage leaned into his touch shamelessly, wanting more while still being bratty enough to complain about the ruined tights. “i can’t believe you,” she breathed out breathlessly. “those were, like, my favorite.”
her whine barely had time to settle before luca bent her over properly, shoving his pants down just enough to give himself access to her. then he rolled his hips forward and pushed deep inside of her, hardly giving sage any time at all to adjust to the stretch of him. she gasped sharply against the sink, fingers gripping the marble hard enough to slip slightly.
i’ll buy you another one.
his voice came out low and rough, like he was trying to satisfy her and shut her up all at once. “but everyone’s gonna know we fucked,” sage nearly moaned the words out as she felt herself growing slicker with every thrust. luca paused just long enough to yank her back against his chest by her hair, keeping himself buried deep inside her while never once losing the rhythm of his hips.
they already know because you get drunk and tell them. he reminded her instantly.
both of them broke into laughter right there in the middle of it because, honestly, luca was right. sage got a little too loose-lipped after a few drinks and then suddenly she was shamelessly bragging about how huge luca was to anyone unfortunate enough to listen.
sage arched her back harder, pushing herself back against him every time he drove forward, greedy for more of him. she loved when luca sank all the way to the hilt, loved the dizzy feeling of him reaching somewhere nobody else ever had before. not like he did. never like he did. she could already feel those contractions starting up, her body practically dripping around him while luca held her there by the neck and hair like he planned on keeping her exactly where she belonged.
“fuck, baby...i need you so bad,” sage cried out, biting down hard on her bottom lip while trying desperately to hold onto some shred of composure. she could feel the soft curve of her ass bouncing back against his pelvis every time he thrust into her, both of them moving together like they’d slipped into the same perfect rhythm without even thinking about it. luca fucked sage with something hungry and primal while sage threw her hips back against him just as desperately, gripping the sink like it was the only thing keeping her upright.
her moans echoed shamelessly against the cramped bathroom walls while luca kept teasing her between thrusts, reminding her this was exactly what she wanted. showing up with an attitude just so someone like him could fuck it right back out of her.
and sage was still giggling between moans, pleasure making tiny tears gather at the corners of her eyes until her makeup smudged slightly beneath them. just enough to leave her looking completely ruined for him.
“fuck, luca...you feel so good when you pump that cock deep inside of me. just like that, baby. don’t stop fucking me.” she whined, and he didn’t. he gave her exactly what she wanted, bottoming out with every thrust while applying just enough pressure around her neck to make the words catch in her throat. sage gasped every time he pushed deep inside of her, his body moving perfectly in rhythm with hers, his balls grazing against her clit in this teasing, relentless way that nearly sent her over the edge. those pantyhose? they were completely obliterated by now. every thrust ripped them further apart until the ruined fabric hung uselessly from her trembling legs. her thighs were already shaking so badly she could hardly take anymore.
“just like that...oh my god, luca.” her voice broke apart between moans. “you fill me up so perfectly. you fuck my tight little pussy so good every time, baby. no one fucks me like this...n-no one does it like you.”
she was seconds away from completely unravelling, legs trembling violently in those heels while luca noticed immediately. his arms wrapped tighter around her core, keeping her steady while he pounded into her with that same hungry, relentless pace sage craved every single time. she moaned for him shamelessly, grabbing onto his arms where they locked around her stomach, nails digging into his skin while she tried desperately to steady herself. the second sage’s knees buckled, luca knew she was done for.
“fuck...fuck, luca, i’m — ”
she could barely get the words out before something about it made him move faster, harder. every thrust grew rougher, deeper, while the upward drag of his balls against her clit made her unfold inch by inch. that tight feeling buried deep in her stomach had been coiling harsher and harsher until the pleasure had nowhere left to go. she was already dripping down her thighs, warmth trailing against her skin while luca made an absolute mess out of her. and honestly? sage couldn’t have loved it more.
“luca...” she whimpered softer this time, almost needy now. like she needed him right there with her through every second of it.
i’m right here, sage. let me feel you. go ahead and make a mess all over me...just like that. you’re doing so good, baby.
and that right there completely broke her.
static crackled through her brain while her core twitched violently around him, those tight walls milking luca in a dangerous way that practically begged him to finish inside her. sage’s body welcomed him instinctively, inviting him deeper every time he thrust into her.
“luca...luca...”
she repeated his name over and over like a mantra, gripping his arms hard enough to break skin with her nails while she lost herself completely. her eyes rolled back, head snapping toward the ceiling while her legs nearly gave out beneath her. luca kept her upright easily, holding her right there while he made her ride out every second of the orgasm. one hand slipped lower again, rubbing relentless circles against her swollen clit that only pushed her further apart.
“fuck...i’m — ”
luca stayed buried deep inside her, letting her coat his length while he groaned softly against her ear, his own release hovering dangerously close now. her inner walls contracted violently around him, sage crying out his name while pleasure overtook every inch of her body. the way he touched her only made more of a mess, wetness coating her thighs and nearly ruining his pants completely. her entire body tensed as wave after wave crashed through her core, electricity burning through her veins until bliss was the only thing her brain could even comprehend anymore.
and it dragged luca right over the edge with her.
sweat glistened along his temples, dark hair disheveled while a guttural moan tore from his chest. he thrust into her a few more desperate times before his release finally spilled out hot and overwhelming. luca stayed buried deep inside her afterward, letting sage milk every last drop from him while his breathing turned erratic against her ear. she could feel him twitching inside her while she clung to his arms, still whining softly and contracting around him long after the pleasure had already wrecked them both.
sage was so sensitive afterward she could feel every part of him still lingering inside of her. every curve, every vein, the lingering drag of his tip against that spot that always drove her completely wild. the two of them stayed leaned against the sink together while they slowly came down, chests rising and falling in the same uneven rhythm until eventually their breathing started to steady again.
“oh my god, luca...” sage whispered breathlessly, long hair spilling over her shoulders in soft waves while she tried to collect herself. her legs felt nearly numb beneath her. “i don’t even know if i can stand up straight.”
they both looked a little dazed still. suspended somewhere between reality and that dizzy high they only ever seemed to find with each other. luca laughed quietly under his breath, muttering some curse while he caught his own breath. and the second sage finally recovered enough air in her lungs, she dissolved into giggles all over again. satisfied in this deep overwhelming way she couldn’t even really explain. because somehow having sex with her best friend in a cramped bathroom felt absurdly perfect.
eventually luca shifted first, slowly pulling himself out of her warmth while both of them groaned softly at the feeling. he smacked her ass lazily afterward, teasing her about how dirty she got whenever they were alone together like this. sage barely even had enough energy left to fire back properly, just leaning heavily against the sink while she stared at what remained of her outfit.
“can you help me?” she laughed weakly between words. “you literally tore my outfit to shreds.”
luca helped prop her up onto the sink again while he peeled the ruined pantyhose from her legs, eventually balling the destroyed fabric up and tossing it into her purse like evidence from a crime scene. by then both of them were laughing again. sage carefully hopped down from the counter afterward, tugging her dress back into place even though it had already been way too short to begin with. that had kind of been the point of the pantyhose in the first place. oh well.
her legs still felt like jelly beneath her, like the orgasm had completely hollowed her out in the best possible way. luca watched her quietly for a second, studying her with that familiar knowing look. he already knew sage was done for tonight. and when she looked back at him, there was something painfully obvious sitting in her expression before she could even put it into words.
luca didn’t let her get that far anyway. he was already grabbing her by the waist again, pulling her close while offering to take her home, feeling a mix of guilt and pride knowing he ruined her so badly she couldn't even go back to finish her night out.
love finding out stuff about my goddess. apparently, her sister's son is a follower of Selene. Eos' son, Hesperus (evening star), is a follower of Selene.
Ok ik we talk abt how it took Malleus so long to hatch and how Lilia must've lost magic trying to get him to hatch but like... what if it was lost trying to delay Malleus from hatching? What if, because it's easier to guard an egg then raise a child in a war, Lilia tried to keep Malleus as an egg until things died down? After all, would it not be better to raise him post-war then during a war, especially because he likely would have become involved directly (as crown prince) if born and raised right away?
toji grabbing your hair when you’re on your knees (either between his legs, teary eyed all, your mascara running and your lashes sticking together as you choke on his cock, feeling your throat spasming around the thickness of it; or pinned underneath him, shaking and whimpering and going cross eyed at every deep brush of his cock along your sensitive walls, at every punching thrust, at how he’s aiming in so deep and making you so full) is so !!!!!!!!!
