âwhat the fuck?â you slammed your phone on the counter, one hand resting firmly on your hip as you looked at jermajesty, furious.
he took another slow sip from the glass of water in his hand, wondering why you were so upset. his eyes flickered toward you for a brief second before dropping to the phone lying between you.
displayed on the screen was his following list.
jermajestyâs eyebrows lifted slightly. he looked back at you, carefully placing the glass down on the counter. âwhat?â
you scoffed, almost offended by the question itself.
âthe fuck you mean, âwhatâ?â your voice was firm, sharp enough to slice straight through the silence of the room. your eyes burned into his as you reached for the phone again, scrolling lower and lower through his following list.
models, influencers, even strippers! your boyfriends following list was full of those.
and they all had huge tits and thick asses.
he went still. completely still. for a moment he seemed to not even know what to say. âbaby..â he began, but you didnât let him finish.
âdonât fucking âbabyâ me,â you cut him off immediately, folding your arms across your chest. âwhy are you following them? hm?â
the room suddenly felt smaller.
the silence between you seemed heavier than it had any right to be, stretching between your bodies as you waited for an answer.
âi⊠i forgot to unfollow them when we started dating,â he admitted.
his voice was quieter now, and he couldnât quite bring himself to look directly into your eyes.
he knew arguing was pointless.
you scoffed again.
âyou forgot to unfollow them?â you repeated, words dripping with disbelief.
he just nodded.
if that was true, you internally cursed yourself for not going through his following earlier.
âright.â you muttered, kissing your teeth slightly. this motherfucker.
his eyes flickered up to yours now, stepping closer gently. âbaby.. i promise you, youâre the only one i want.â his voice was soft, and the sincerity in his voice was making your tough demeanor almost falter. almost.
you rolled your eyes. âand how am i supposed to believe that, now that i saw all those slutty girls you follow?â you asked him, a slight frown forming on your face, feeling the pang of insecurity and jealousy deep in your chest.
he paused for a second, the apartment almost being completely silent except for the distant hum of the fridge, before his hands gently found yours, squeezing them softly. âlet me make it up to you,â he whispered out.
the whisper was so soft and gentle that you couldâve almost overheard it.
but you didnât.
you swallowed once, looking at him with uncertainty still flickering in your eyes. of course you wanted him to make up for it, but you werenât sure if he actually meant it.
âiâll unfollow them all after, i promise.â his voice cut through the silence, his long fingers tracing soft circles over your knuckles, making your heart warm slightly. he always did this when you were upset at him.
you sighed softly. âalright..â you muttered after a few seconds, your voice a bit softer now.
the angry facade you have had only minutes earlier was somehow gone completely again.
a soft smile gently spread over his face now. âgood.â he said, stepping closer to you, before leaning in to press a small peck to your lips.
his kisses were always as sweet as sugar, making your heart flutter in your chest .
the one second he was kissing you, the next he was picking you up bridal style, making you squeal slightly as he lifted you, holding onto his neck.
as he walked towards your bedroom, you were looking at him â just admiring his face. he was so handsome. that soft brown skin you loved to mark up, those pretty curls you loved burying your fingers in, and those plump lips with a small mustache growing above it. he probably forgot to shave it again â not that you were complaining though.
you smiled softly to yourself. you could have all of this every day you wanted.
you could have his sleepy face in the mornings, his arms around you at night, and those soft whispers against your ear while making love.
he kicked the bedroom door open and carried you toward the large king-sized bed sitting in the middle of the room.
gently, he lowered you onto the mattress.
for a moment, he just took you in.
there was something almost affectionate in his expression.
something warm.
he didnât even bother locking the door â you guys were alone in the apartment anyways.
finally, he climbed onto the bed, hovering above you before carefully capturing your lips with his.
the kiss was soft at first.
barely even there.
just the gentle meeting of your lips before the two of you slowly melted into it.
a quiet sound escaped you, your fingers finding their way into his curls as the kiss deepened, his tongue swiping over your bottom lip and pushing into your mouth.
his tongue found yours instantly, a quiet groan leaving his lips as you guys started making out fully.
the earlier argument seemed to fade further and further away with every passing second.
you werenât thinking about his following list anymore.
you werenât thinking about those girls.
you were only thinking about him.
meanwhile, his big hand slowly moved from your waist upwards, tracing it softly before resting right beneath your boob.
he broke the kiss softly, a string of saliva connecting you both. his eyes found yours, as if making sure if you were okay with what was happening. you nodded slowly, letting him do what he wanted.
and he didnât need to be told twice â diving right back in to push his tongue right between your lips again.
his hand had slipped beneath your top now â and lucky for him â you werenât wearing a bra beneath it, because according to you â âwearing a bra at home was unnecessary most of the timeâ.
he groaned into the kiss lightly as his fingers made contact with your already hard nipple. he didnât waste no time, and instantly brushed his thumb over it â making you gasp into him slightly.
a deep chuckle rumbled through his chest at that, his lips trailing lower now, pressing soft kisses over your jaw and neck, his fingers still toying with your nipples, now twisting and rubbing them in between his digits.
soft moans were spilling from your lips as he started sucking soft love marks into your soft skin, continuing the ministrations of his fingers.
his kisses then trailed from your neck to your collarbone, to your shoulder, and finally to your cleavage. this man didnât even wait for permission â he knew how bad you wanted it, so he softly helped you get out of your pretty lace top, revealing you completely for him.
you were now laying beneath him, completely bare, in nothing but your folded over striped pants, which he didnât take long to strip off you too.
he pulled the pants off your legs gently, leaving you only in your light pink lace panties now. his tongue darted out slightly, licking his lips as he took in the sight of you in front of him, all just for him.
âdamn mama,â he muttered, lowering himself again, taking one of your nipples into his mouth gently, sucking on it as he swirled his tongue around it, twisting and rubbing the other one between his thumb and pointer finger.
a small whine ripped from your throat at that, arching into his touch.
he really knew how to make you feel good.
he continued his ministrations, soft jolts of pleasure running through your body and right to that sensitive spot between your thighs.
after a few more minutes of this, he started kissing lower, not wanting to make you wait any longer. the anticipation was burning through both your bodies, so none of yâall wanted to wait much longer.
his kisses trailed lower and lower, until he was right above the waistband of your panties.
he could practically feel the heat radiating off you.
he looked up at you, that mischievous glint in his eyes. âwant me to keep goinâ?â he asked, his hand reaching up, fingers tracing soft circles over the waistband.
duh. of course you did.
âyes.â you replied, a tiny bit annoyance in your voice, already knowing where this was going. but today you were not having it.
âmaj please. iâm not playing right now, do something or iâll take matters into my own hands.â you told him, being completely serious about this.
damn. jermajestyâs breath hitched at the thought of you actually taking matters into your own hands â but knew better than to say anything about it.
so he kept going.
he pulled your panties down your thighs and calves painfully slowly, before throwing them somewhere into the room.
he crawled up your legs again, spreading your legs with his big hands, exposing your already dripping core to him. âfuck..â he muttered under his breath, his own hard-on already straining against his sweats.
but this man didnât waste no time, and dove right in, pressing a soft kiss right to your already puffy clit first, which made you arch off the bed slightly. âfuck.. maj,â you gasped, your hands trailing down and finding his curls, burying your fingers in them.
he licked a long stripe up your slit, gathering your wetness on his tongue. a soft, desperate moan escaped you. this man was a TEASE.
your hands gripped his curls now, pulling him closer to you, letting him know how much you needed this right now, and didnât have time for his teasing.
and he didnât resist.
his tongue ran soft circles over your clit first, before sucking it into his mouth â tearing another whimper from your lips.
meanwhile, his fingers found their way down to your heated core too, coming down to circle your entrance softly, teasing you a little before pushing two of them inside you.
âmhh.. fuck ma, so wet fâme..â he murmured against you, the vibrations sending shivers down your spine. this man was gonna drive you insane one day.
he started pushing his fingers into you, thrusting into your wet heat, lewd squelching noises filling the room.
his fingers now started curling slightly inside you, leaving your mouth hanging open and your eyes roll back â the stimulating of both your g - spot and clit really was too much for you.
you could feel your climax get closer and closer with every time he thrusted those long fingers and curled them inside you.
âm-maj.. shit, i - iâm so close..â you whined out, bucking your hips into his mouth even more.
as soon as he heard those words leave your mouth â he was relentless.
his tongue worked even faster on your clit, fingers curling even faster inside you, while his other hand creeped up to your lower stomach, pressing down onto your pelvis slightly.
oh no. you knew what that meant.
and you could feel the sensation build in your stomach with every second passing. âmaj i- shit iâm.. iâm cumming!â you blurted out suddenly, the feeling getting too strong.
your climax washed over you so unexpectedly as you clenched around his fingers, liquid gushing out of you and soaking his face out of nowhere.
he kept going though as you kept squirting, soaking him and the sheets beneath him. âbaby.. baby stop.. âs too much..â you whined out, trying to push his head away from you, but he didnât let up.
âmaj.. maj! âm serious! itâs too much!â you cried out now, whining as you could feel a second orgasm building rapidly.
but he didnât stop. not even when you came a second time, coating his fingers and face in your juices yet again.
and this continued exactly for 2 more times, making you squirt and scream his name all over again.
only did he finally stop when you were a literal crying and shaking mess beneath him.
this man really knew how to wreck you.
he finally pulled his fingers out of you, pressing one last kiss to your swollen and overstimulated clit, before crawling up your body again.
he didnât say anything yet, just pressed a small kiss to your lips, before cradling you close in his arms.
a few minutes passed of you just laying in his arms, as he finally spoke up. âam i forgiven now?â
Michael chokes on his water, patting his chest as he tries to clear his throat. Butâ the question didnât throw him off.. it was the genuine curiosity in your voice.
âIâm sorryâ pardon?â Michael says, leaning more to your side as you two sit on the couch.
âDo you cum webs?â You say, turning to him, eyebrows knitted together like your in a deep concentration.
âWhâ Why are you asking me this, babe? Iâ,â
âBecause you organically make your own webs.â You grab his wrist, gliding your thumb up to where the webs would come out.
âHnghhâ shit, donât do that..â You watch as he throws his head back, his body twitching.
You did not know he could do that.
âHuh.. oh-kayâ but still, can you or can you not shoot webs out of your dick??â You say, turning to face him. You watch as he opens one half-lidded eye at you before pouting.
âWellâ Iâve never.. Yâknow tried it.â He says, sitting up. Michael puts his arms on his knees as he leans forward, clearly flustered by your claim. â.. wanna try it out?â
P.S. OUUUEEE yall are just some nasty freaks up in here
â€ïžâ thinking about đ¶ature!michael with đ».teacher!reader who happens to be prince and Paris favorite teacher. He rearranges his entire schedule just so he can be the one doing morning drop-off and afternoon pickup because he's completely obsessed with herâ the tension between them unbearable. Donât even get me started on the parent-teacher conferences where they literally don't talk about school at all- him sitting in a plastic chair that's way too small for his long frame, knees brushing hers under the low table until he finally reaches out, catching her chin in between his fingers to tilt her face up. "I was wondering if you can tell me when you're free this weekend, i wanna have you all to myself."
synopsis: Michael finds himself drawn to the older neighbor that just moved in.

Michael walked out the house and towards his brothers, orange juice in one hand, his book in the other. He eyed the U-Hal trucks across the street, his brows furrowing. âWhen did someone move in?â Michael questioned as he sat down on the lawn chair, âDonât know yet, couldnât get a good look at emââ Jackie replied as he put on his sunglasses. âI saw hair, definitely a woman.â Tito called out as he shot the basketball at the hoop.
âFool anyone can have hair.â Marlon smacked the back of his head, âYou know what I fuckinâ mean, donât be touchinâ me.â Michael rolled his eyes as he opened his book, immediately getting lost in the pages.
Jackie smacked Michaelâs arms repeatedly making Michael groan, âQuit smack- Look!â Michael raised his brows as he lifted his head from his book looking across the streets. âOh thatâs one bad mama jama.â Jackie whistled.
Michael watched you walk down your porch steps, the tight short sleeve cropped sweater, perfectly revealed your curves, abs glistening from the sun, paired with dark blue skinny jeans that shaped your plump ass perfectly. âThat is one fine woman.â Marlon mumbled as he walked to the fence to gawk at you from afar.
Michael was speechless, he hadnât seen someone so gorgeous and goddess like in his life. Itâs like you glowed perfectly in the sun, your blown out curls hung low around your shoulders.
âDibs.â Jackie called out as he stood up, adjusting his basketball shorts. âNigga you donât get to call dibs.â Marlon argued, his eyes still following your every move.
âWhat you thinkinâ ova there Mikey?â Tito looked towards Michael, âThat you guys are ridiculous.â Michael replied, finally tearing his gaze from your face. âOh donât act like you werenât eye fuckinâ her with us.â Michael scrunched up his face in response, âDo you have to be so vulgar?â
âYou know this missionary stuff is getting tired, you gotta lighten up.â Jackie grabbed Michael and pulled him to the fence, âYou see that? That is a goddess, I can tell one night with her and sheâll ruin you.. make you forget all about your little rules.â Jackie whispered in his ear as he pointed at you.
âAll of yall are dirty for thinkinâ about women like that.â Michael exclaimed as he shook his head, âYouâre only sayinâ that because you donât get any action, Iâm telling you, let a woman have one night with you, you wonât be the same man.â Marlon chimed in, leaning towards Michael.
âI wonât be doing that till Iâm married you fools just have no self control.â Tito sighed loudly, âYouâre gonna be missing out, but for now.. every manâs for themselves, Iâm gonna get her.â Jackie cockily stated, biting down on his bottom lip. âLet the best man win.â They all side fist bumped as they stared you down from afar.
Michaelâs face twisted up, they talked about women like they were some object to win over. It was disgusting. Michael felt clear attraction towards you but he wasnât disrespectful about it, he thought women were the high of this world. He wouldnât exist if it werenât for them, thats why he believed they shouldnât be talked about like that, like they were beneath you.
You felt eyes on you as you set down a box on your front porch, you turned around and saw five boys looking over at you from their fence. You raised your hand and waved with a smile before returning back into your house.
âShe was definitely waving at me.â
Hours later you were going through your boxes, unpacking your kitchen supplies when there was a sudden knock on the door. You furrowed your brows and stood up from the wooden floor, footsteps approaching your front door. You swung the door open revealing a short black older woman, standing next to her was a skinny and tall, black man with a small fro, dressed in a long sleeve striped shirt that paired with black jeans. His hands rested behind his back. âHi, Iâm Katherine and this is my son Michael!â She smiled and extended her hand, âIâm Y/Nâ You shook her hand with a smile, âWe live right across the street and I just wanted to welcome you into the neighborhood.â
âHow sweet of you, Iâm just unpacking right now.â You ran a hand through your curls, âOh, If you have any trouble unpacking and setting things up, Iâll get one of my boys to help.â Michael flashed a smile from beside her, âYou sure? I donât wanna be a bother.â She shook her head no, âAbsolutely, my sonâs donât mind helping out, trust Iâve raised them properly.â
âWait, I have some leftover cookies just a small thanks for your kindness.â You jogged to the kitchen and back, carrying a small tray of chocolate chip cookies. âFeel free to have them.â You extended the tray with a smile. âThank you sugar.â
âHave a nice day.â Your eyes flickered to Michael, his eyes already on yours. He quickly looked away as he turned around, following behind his mother. The eye contact was short but intense.
You closed the door and went back to unpacking until you decided it was time for a break and a shower. You walked into your bedroom, stopping by your window as you took off your top.
Michael walked into his bedroom with a sigh, dropping his book on the bed, He sat down on his chair and rolled back with a huff. Something moved in the corner of his eye, making him snap his head towards the window.
Michaelâs eyes widened, his brows raising unbelievably high. He had a clear line of vision to your bedroom, you were undressing right in front of the window but in Michaelâs eyes itâs like he was getting a strip tease. You had him in a trance that you werenât aware of.
He watched your breast spill out of your top, bouncing from your movements, He watched you shimmy out of your tight jeans, revealing your heart shaped ass.
When your body faced the window he got clear slight of your belly piercing, Michael bit down on his bottom lip, he couldnât believe himself. He really watched you get undressed like some perv and it didnât help he was hard now too.
Michael shook his head and looked away, thinking of anything to get rid of his annoyingly hard boner. He closed his curtains with a sigh. âBad Michael.â He muttered to himself as turned around.
You stepped out the shower and wrapped your towel around your body, you walked into your bedroom looking for your skincare items. âShit.â You muttered to yourself when you couldnât find them. You realized you left the box outside.
You tightened the grip on your towel and walked downstairs, water droplets dripping down onto the wooden floors. You opened your front door and smiled when you saw the small box near the curb still there.
âThank god.â You closed the door behind you as you quickly ran to the box, You grabbed it and ran back to your door but it didnât open. âAre you kidding me?â You groan and kicked the door, stubbing your toe in the process. âFuck that hurt.â You tried to go around to the back but that was locked too.
You groaned before quickly walking across the street, knocking on the door softly. âThis is so embarrassing.â You muttered to yourself as you waited at the door.
The same boy from earlier opened the door, his eyes widened as his eyes dropped to your figure, your boobs dared to spill out of the short towel you had your body wrapped up in. âThis is embarrassing, But I.. locked myself out of my house and I need help.â
Michael let out a breathless chuckle, forcing his eyes to stare up at you the entire time. âUhm what can I do?â He clasped his hands together, âMy bedroom window is cracked but I canât climb up there.â You smiled nervously as you shifted in your spot. âIâll get the ladder from our garage then head over there.â You smiled and let out a breath in relief.
âThank you!â He nodded and walked towards his garage as you walked right back to your house, waiting patiently. He carried the ladder across, you bit down on your bottom lip as you watched him set it up and climb up.
Michael opened up the window with a grunt and stepped inside, He stopped in his tracks when he saw your pink laced panties sitting on your floor. His breath hitched and he squeezed his eyes shut.
âBad Michael.â He whispered to himself as he walked out your bedroom, You waited at the front door patiently, looking around frantically.
Michael swung open the door, you smiled widely. âThank you, Thank you!â Without thinking you pulled him for a hug, your boobs pressing against his chest, through your towel.
Michael stiffened up, his hands staying still at his sides. âNo problem.â You smiled and pulled away, You leaned down to grab your box and stepped inside as he walked out. âThanks again sweetie.â
Michael nodded with a smile and put his hands in his pockets.
Heâs kinda cute you thought to yourself as you walked upstairs, âWhat a day.â You murmured to yourself dropping the box on your bed.
Michael found himself reluctantly pulling the curtains back open, He knew it was wrong on so many levels, but he couldnât stop himself itâs like he was under a spell. Your spell.
You lathered yourself up in lotion, massaging your boobs. Michael felt his dick harden, straining against his jeans painfully tight. You turned around to face your full body mirror when you noticed something in your reflection. Your window was exactly in the same position as the Jacksonâs across the street.
The curtain was open, your brows furrowed and you grabbed your compact mirror pretending to look at yourself in the small mirror, you pointed it to the side and you saw him. Michael sat in his chair watching you undress from the window. You smirked to yourself as you closed the mirror.
âJacksonâs boy a perv.â you muttered to yourself as you walked out the view from the window. This was gonna be fun after all.
Michael found himself knocking on your door, his thoughts racing all over the place. You walked to the door and swung it open, revealing Michael. His eyes traveled down your body, you were still in your night gown that clung to your figure, Your boobs pushed up at the top.
âHi, My mother mentioned you needed help setting up your bed frame?â You smiled, looking him up and down. âYeah, youâre right on time!â You stepped to the side and he walked in, his hands placed behind his back.
âWould you like something to drink?â He shook his head no, âIâm fine, thank you.â You simply nodded and grabbed your wine glass, âFollow me.â You swiped your robe to the side as you walked upstairs, He looked down at the steps instead of eyeing your exposed cheeks.
âThanks for the help, as I got older I just lost some of my strength and couldnât hold up these pieces myself.â You lie as you walked into your bedroom, sipping on your champagne. âItâs totally fine.â
âYou donât look a day over 20.â Michael complimented, a smile gracing his lips. âWhy thank you, Iâm thirty.â His brows raised, âReally?â You nod with a smile, âMy brotherâs and I thought you were way younger.â
âYou guys talk about me?â You questioned, leaning on your nightstand. âMy brothers kinda have a crush.â He admitted with an embarrassed laugh, You push off the nightstand and sit down next to him. âWhat about you? You donât have a crush?â You questioned, leaning towards him slightly. His breath hitched, all he could manage was a breathless chuckle. âI- uhm.â You laugh at his nervous behavior, âIâm kidding Michael.â He chuckles nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck. âOh.â
âBesides I already know you watch me get undressed from your window.â You stated, making his movements halt. His head snapping in your direction. âI- I-â You placed a hand on his thigh, dangerously close to his crotch. âIâm sorry.â
âYou know itâs wrong.. right?â He nodded, his lips forming into a frown, âSo whyâd you do it?â You look up at him through your lashes, âYouâre just so beautiful.. Iâve never felt something like this before, you have to believe Iâve never done something like this before.â He ushered out as he faced you, âHow can I believe you Michael?â He chewed on his bottom lip nervously, âPlease forgive me- Iâll never do something like that again.â
You bit back a smirk, âDo you think you deserve my forgiveness?â He shook his head no, looking down at the floor, âNo, I did something unforgivable.â You scooted back and spread your legs open, âCome right here Michael.â You tapped right in between your legs, âBack to my chest.â He hesitated before simply obeying you. His breath uneven as he clenched his fist. Michael was scared out of his mind.
âI think you deserve to be punished.â He leaned back into your chest, your boobs flushed against his chest. You dragged your finger up his thigh and let it rest on his crotch. âT- this is wrong.. I canât do something like this, itâs not pure.â Your brows raised, âThis is wrong, but not watching me undress like a perv without me knowing?â His words caught at his throat, not knowing how to respond. You were right after all.
âY- youâre right, Iâm sorry.â You smirked and unzipped his pants, He squeezed his eyes shut, biting down on his lips harshly. You pulled out his throbbing member, a bead of precum resting on his tip. âYouâre claiming for this to be your first time doing something like this, but youâre already leaking and hard for me.â Michaelâs eyes fluttered open, looking down at his embarrassingly hard cock. âI c- canât help it.â He rasped, his chest heaving up and down.
âThat innocent missionary boy is just an act, huh?â You whispered into his ear, Michael shuddered your cool breath tickling his ear. âN- No.â He whined, feeling your finger drag up the base of his cock.
âThen why are you so hard?â Michael chewed on his bottom lip, He didnât know what to say, How could he explain every time he saw you, it felt like he was under a trance.
âCat got your tongue?â You wrapped your hand around the base of his cock, fisting his length lightly. You slowly stroked him, up and down. Michael grunted, his eyes squeezing shut. âOpen your eyes Michael.â He shook his head no, so you stopped, letting him go. His eyes flew open at the emptiness. âIâll stop, if you donât keep your eyes open.â He looked back at you with a frown, âOkay.â He muttered, looking back down at his cock as you wrapped your hand back around his length.
You brung your arm up and down, twisting your hand at the top. Michaelâs moans immediately sounded the room. He squirmed in your grasp, his nails desperately clawing at the wooden floor beneath you. You gripped him tighter, speeding up your strokes.
Michael moaned your name loudly, his hips bucked to get out of your grasp. âI- I canât- sâto much.â He shook his head, You pushed his hips backs down, swinging your leg over to lock him in place. âYouâre being a bad boy, Michael.â He grunted with a frown, you stopped at the tip, rubbing your thumb around his tip to spread the Precum. âI- Iâm sorry, it just feels s- so good.â
âStay put and take it, okay?â He whimpered with a nod, You smiled and rested your chin on his shoulder, stroking him slow and tight. You rubbed his Precum down his shaft, coating his length.
âP- Please.â Michael whined. His hips rocking slightly, You twisted, clenched, release, repeat. Keeping that routine until he reached his breaking point, his moans and whimpers getting louder.
âSome- Somethingâs coming.â Michael clenched your thighs, sweat beading on his forehead, his small curls stuck to his forehead. He chanted your name like it was a prayer, âItâs c- coming.â You took your hand off his throbbing member. Michael bucked his hips chasing for the warmth feeling of your hands wrapped around his member.
âBad boys donât get to cum Michael, this was a punishment after all.â You cooed, rubbing his leg slowly before you got up. âNow get yourself together and set the frame up for me sweetie.â You give him a smile before grabbing your wine glass and walking away.
Michaelâs brows furrowed, How was he supposed to just forget about what just happened? He sighed and put his throbbing cock back into his pants, and got right to work on your bed frame.
Michael grunted as he rutted his clothed dick against his mattress, clenching his pillow between his teeth. He was currently tryna recreate the feeling you gave him hours ago, but it didnât feel as good as your hands.
He whimpered before finally giving up with a sigh, Flopping onto his back. He stared up at his ceiling before his body made the choice for him and got up. He adjusted his pants and walked out his door and down the steps.
âWhere you going Mikey? Itâs getting late.â Jackieâs words made him halt, âFor a walk, Iâll be fine, just need to clear my head.â Jackie nodded looking back at the TV as Michael walked out the door.
You hummed as you poured yourself a glass of wine, Whitney Houston playing in the background lowly on the speakers. A knock at your door pulled you from your thoughts, your brows furrowed as you took a sip of your wine before walking to the front door.
You looked through the peephole and smirked once you saw Michael, you knew he would be back. His innocence act didnât fool you, boys would be boys at the end of the day.
You unlocked your door and opened it, âWhat a surprise, What are you doing here Michael?â He fidgeted with his hands, âI tried to fight it, obey my motherâs rules and stay pure.. but I canât. You make me feel alive. I donât know what it is.â Michael confessed as he stepped closer. âIs that so?â He nodded quickly, His hands moving to behind his back.
You bit down on your bottom lip before stepping to the side, opening your door wider. He walked in immediately, âYou sure you want this Michael?â
âYes, Iâm sure.â You smirked as you closed the door, âFollow me.â Michael happily obliged and followed right behind you as you walked up the steps.
You walked into your bedroom, stopping at your nightstand by the window, leaning back. âHave you ever gaven oral?â He shook his head no, âGet on your knees.â He sunk down onto his knees immediately, you hiked your leg up onto your window sill.
He was eye level to your cunt, already wet from his confession. âTake them off.â You raised your hips slightly and he lifted his hands to pull down your soaked laced panties. âStart slow, flick your tongue up and down.â He nodded, âThen circle around here.â You pointed to your clit. He grabbed your thighs and buried his face between your legs without any hesitation.
His tongue immediately latching onto your warm cunt, âFuck.â You let out a breathless moan. He flicked his tongue up and down slowly, just like you instructed. His tongue circled around your clit before sucking it in his mouth.
You tossed your head back with a moan, gripping onto his curls. Michaelâs head moved up and down between your legs, plunging his tongue inside your sopping hole. Michael lost himself in the simple bliss of pleasuring you, forgetting all about his family back at the house.
Marlon jogged up the steps, swinging Michaelâs door smack open. âMikey?â Marlon peeked his head in, walking inside his bathroom, face contorting to confusion. Marlon went to walk back out but stopped in his tracks when he saw something in the corner of his eye.
It was you in direct line of sight from Michaelâs window, Your leg on the window sill, your nightgown bunched up at your waist. Your hands held onto a head with black curls with your back arched. Marlonâs eyes widened.
Marlon quickly ran downstairs, âAll of you, come upstairs now!â Marlon shouted as he reached the bottom step, âWhat is it?â Jackie jumped from the sudden yelling. âJust come up here nigga!â Marlon ran back up the steps, quickly sliding back into Michaelâs room.
âWhat the hell are you on about now Marlon?â Tito questioned as he walked right behind Jackie, âWhy are we in Mikeyâs room? Heâs on a walk.â Jackie went up to Marlon, âLook!â His finger pointed at the window, revealing you getting ate out but the manâs identity wasnât clear from this angle.
âHoly shit.â Randy pushed through from behind, âI canât believe Michael has direct view to her bedroom and missing this.â
Michael in-fact wasnât
âNot like he wouldâve looked anyway, Heâs too busy playing missionary for mother.â Jackie joked, his eyes glued to the lewd scene in front of him.
âI canât believe first week of her moving in and sheâs already getting laid by someone.â Marlon tried to look at the man between her legs, âI swear that guy seems familiar- It might be Mr. Walker from down the street, heâs the only other black guy on this block with a fro.â
Marlon shrugged, âIâm glad Michaelâs on that walk, We wouldâve never got to witness this with his pure ass.â
The man lifted up from between her legs, wiping his mouth with a smile. Their jaws dropped, their voice and movements coming to a halt. It was Michael all along. âThat canât be.â Randy broke the silence, Marlon rubbed his eyes then looked back up. âThatâs not Mikey.â Tito stated in pure disbelief, âWalk my ass!â Jackie shouted, his eyes basically popping out of his sockets.
âCanât be the same Michael whoâs been preaching about innocence! Oh heâs never gonna hear the end of this.â They watched you grabbed Michael by his shirt and pull him out of the view of the window.
âThat little negro is having the time of his life right now, I set up her couch for nothing.â Jackie grumbled as he walked out the room.
Michael in-fact was.
You pushed him down on the bed, straddling his lap. You kissed down his neck as your hands found his zipper and slowly unzipped his pants.
âCan you rub it again?â Michael looked up at you with glossy eyes, âWeâre gonna do more than just rubbing Mikey.â You look down at him, a small smirk creeping up on your face.
You pursed your lips and spit onto his cock, Michael bit down on his bottom lip, his eyes tracing your every move. You rubbed the spit down his shaft, lubricating it with the Precum that dripped down from his tip. Michael whimpered watching the lewd scene in front of him.
Michael was unbelievably big, a good 9 inches. Youâve never put this size in you and it had been a while since you had sex. You raised your hips and positioned his tip at your entrance. Michaelâs breath quickened, he couldnât believe the scene in front of him after claiming chastity his whole life.
You slowly sunk down, stopping at the tip. Michael moaned loudly from the intrusion. You cursed with a whimper. His mushroom tip already expanding your walls. You lifted up then slowly lowered down, your gummy walls massaging his tip perfectly. You wanted him to beg and crave for it.
Which didnât take long.
Michael bucked his hips with a moan, wanting to feel even more of you. You lifted up completely making him whimper at the sudden emptiness. âP- Please!â He begged, his hands gripping the sheets. You gripped his cock, positioning it at your entrance once again.
âTell me how badly you want it Michael.â You commanded, voice laced with pure authority. âI- I want it so bad, I wanna feel all of you! Please give it to me.â You couldâve came just from his begging, a man so pathetic for you, turned you on so badly.
âGood boy, I think you deserve a reward. Hm?â He nodded rapidly, raising up. You smiled at his eager behavior as you sunk down on his length slowly, Michaelâs member stretching you out entirely. A loud moan fell from the both of your lips from the intrusion.
âG- God.â A breathless moan is all Michael could manage, your tight walls wrapped around him, a sensation heâs never experienced before. Making him feel like he was out of this world. âS- So big.â You grasped his shoulders, using him for balance as you bounced your ass down on his length.
The sound of skin slapping, loud moans and whimpers had now filled the room. Even when you lifted up your pussy would just suck Michael right back in, it didnât wanna let go. Michael gripped your hips, his eyes screwed shut as he chanted your name like a prayer. His whimpers and moans getting louder with each bounce.
âOpen your eyes Michael.â His eyes fluttered open, His face scrunched up with his mouth hanging open. âSâto much!â He tried to slow your pace down but you grabbed his hands, moving them to your breast.
âI thought you wanted this Mikey?â You pouted your lips, âI- I do.. you just feel sso g- good, I canât take it.â You chuckled lowly and slowed your pace down. you rocked your hips back and forth, you clit mushing against his pubic bone with each rock. Michaelâs mouth hung open, his loud moans and whimpers feeling the room once again.
You leaned down and captured his lips in a slow but passionate kiss, your tongue exploring his mouth. His hands roamed your body, finding your breast once again. His fingers fidgeting with your nipple. He tugged and twisted it slightly. You gasp lowly, pulling back from the kiss. You smiled, looking down at him with lidded eyes. He was learning slowly.
âDid that hurt?â You shook your head, âThat was perfect Michael.â You let out a breathless moan, You rolled your hips and his tip perfectly kissed your cervix. A loud moan erupted from your lips, you wrapped your arms around his neck and collapsed on his chest.
Michael whimpered loudly in your ear, His hands firmly gripping your waist as you rolled and thrusted your hips. You needed him to hit that spot again. âI- I need you to do something for me.â You flicked your tongue on his neck, making him moan.
âI need you to be on top Michael.â His brows furrowed, âIâve never- I donât know how.â You raised up to look into his eyes, âIâll guide you, okay?â He nodded hesitantly, You whimpered as you lifted off of his length and fell onto your side, rolling onto your back.
Michael maneuvered onto his knees, Hovering over you as you scooted back onto the pillow. You spread your legs and he gripped your thighs pulling you closer to him. âEase in, right here.â You grabbed his length and lined it up with your entrance.
He rubbed his tip between your folds, lubricating it with your slick. He pushed in slowly, filling you up as he pushed your legs back to your chest.
âNow donât just thrust recklessly, move your hips like this.â You gripped his hips and made him move, He allowed you to control his body. âLike this?â He began to move on his own thrusting slow and deliberate, his hips bucking up slightly. âYes!â You tossed your head back with a loud moan. âF- Faster!â Michael obliged immediately, quickening his pace. He let go of your legs and leaned down, his hands resting on either side of your head.
Michael looked down between your bodies watching his cock disappear with each thrust, the lewd scene turned him on even more. He was fascinated with the way your hole swallowed him up, his dick bulging in your stomach. âS- ssooo g- good!â Michael cried out, his hips moved with a mind of its own, thrusting relentlessly deep into you.
âJust like that Michael!â Your mouth hung open, a choked sob leaving your mouth, feeling him stab your cervix as he plowed into you. âG- God! Youâre so d- deep.â
The room was musk, your scent mixed with his along with sweat and the faint smell of your vanilla candle. You clung to him desperately, hiking your leg over his waist, pressing the back of your heel into his butt, pushing Michael even deeper than he already was.
The bed frame rocked against the wall loudly, the sound turned you both on even more, just showing how lost you two were in each other. The bed creaked with each thrust. Michael raised his head to look at you, He bit down on his bottom lip looking down at your fucked out state, your mouth was hung open, eyes closed, brows knitted, drool seeped out from the side of your mouth. The fact that he was making you feel like this sent him into pure bliss. The boy who was looked down on his whole life made you feel so much intense pleasure.
âC- Can I kiss you?â Your eyes fluttered open, âYeah baby.â He leaned down and captured your lips in a fast, passionate kiss. Itâs like he wanted to devour you in that moment. His tongue moved with yours in a bruising heat. Moans slipping past every so often.
You clenched around him harshly, making him pull back with a loud cry. âIâm c- close!â He sobbed into your neck, a single tear running down his face from the overwhelming sensation. âMe t- too! Keep going Michael.â You rubbed the back of his head as his hips snapped into yours vigorously.
Michael babbled something incoherently into your neck, as his once consistent rhythm began to falter. His thrust became sloppy and slow.
âCum for me, Michael.â Michael let out a choked out sob as he came long and hard, his hips thrusted into you one final time. His hips jerked, as his body convulsed against yours. He spurt thick warm ropes into your womb, filling you up completely as his body went rigid.
You came shortly after him, rocking your hips under him as your legs shook around him. A wave of ecstasy washing over you as your eyes rolled to the back of your head. Your cream seeping out from the side.
Michael pulled out with a whimper, falling to his side with a sigh. Both of your chest heaved up and down as you tried to come down from your highs.
âItâs late, you should get home Michael.â You rolled over to look at him, He nodded with a sheepish smile. âYeah.â He grabbed the tissues on your dresser and wiped his dick from your essence. He stood up and stepped back into his pants and boxers.
âCan we keep doing this?â
âI thought this was wrong and impure.â His cheeks flushed, âI can lie to my mother.â You smirked, âBreaking the rules I see.â
âOnly for you.â He muttered as he fixed his clothes, âOf course we can keep doing this Michael, Iâll let you know when.â He smiled and you waved as he left out your room.
Michael fixed his hair as he left out your house, He quickly jogged across the street, He quietly and slowly opened the door, met with pitch black. He closed the door quietly and the lamp flicked on, revealing his brothers.
âHow was your walk?â Michael jumped, his back hitting the door. âDonât scare me like that, and my walk was fine.â Michael lied, his eyes avoiding all of his brothers. âSure was a long walk.â Marlon rubbed his chin, crossing his legs.
âYeah. I was really stressed, the walk relieved me.â Tito smirked at Michaelâs words, âYou sure it was the walk that relieved you?â Michael gulped with a nod. âItâs late.. Iâm gonna go- Did you know the window in your room has a direct view to the neighbors.â Michael fidgeted with his fingers, âNo, I wasnât paying attention to that.. thatâs gross.â Michael mumbled looking down at the floor.
âThatâs funny, I couldâve swore we all saw you eating the neighbor out from your window.â Michael choked on his own spit, Clearing his throat. âT- That was- Donât tell mother!â Michael pleaded, his hands clasping together, âOh we wonât but trust we will be using this against you, Mr. Missionary.â Michael chuckled nervously and went to walk away, âWait, was it good?â Michael bit the inside of his cheek, he nodded slowly then rushed upstairs from embarrassment.
It was more than good

HI HI, hcs for manipulative!reader with thriller!michael :)))) she manipulates him into thinking kissing, touching, and all that is normal between friends. she def sits on his lap, (like very close, hands interlinked, and him touching her thighs) and his brothers are like confused asf đđđđ but thatâs what friends do!
( ˶°ă °) !! ââ0.8k, fluff (?) ) (secretly manipulative) thriller!michael jackson x gn manipulative!reader <3
cws: manipulation by both parties to certain extents (reader likes corrupting, michael is aware and likes being corrupted so he eggs you on), slight perv!michael, possessive!michael at the end
the amount of people that michael actively considers real, true friends can be counted in full on one hand. chief among these friends is you, one of his neighbors whom he met almost immediately after moving to encino. "that neighborhood brat," joe would call you, eyes narrowed as you peered around their property and, when you were older, as you began babysitting around the neighborhood, eventually nannying somewhat for the jacksons. if michael's father didn't like you, that must've meant you were someone good, and boy, you really were sweet while taking care of randy and janet, doting like a big sister or mother would.
whenever he got the opportunity to talk to you, he took it, even if he took it shyly. he'd hesitate several times before asking how your day had been or if you wanted anything to drink. "mother told me to ask you..." was his favorite way of starting conversation, at least when you were younger. michael slowly got more comfortable, enough to not need any excuses to speak with you. soon enough, it's all "i was wondering..." and "do you think..."; eventually, he greets you with genuine familiarity, smiling as he walks over, "there you are!"
now, you're true blue friends, having stuck it out through thick and thin. well, you say you're friends... in reality, you've coaxed michael into something a little more intimate than a casual friendship. over the years, the two of you have gotten closer and closer, blurring the line between friendship and something more. it's not rare to find you two settled along the couch for a movie, laying down together with your back to his chest. his lips move against your hair, his eyes focused on the screen as he speaks about whatever's on his mind.
or, finding you two in bed together, napping on those rare days where michael can afford the downtime. he's got his arms wrapped around you, clinging to you in his sleep while one of his legs tangle with yours. "i sleep better with a friend in bed," he defends himself to his brothers when one of them (usually jermaine or jackie) comments on it. "don't make it into something gross."
"i need a kiss," he mumbles in your ear every so often, taking hold of your hand and bringing it to his chest, "i need one of those friend kisses, i had a real rough day." michael bats his lashes, biting his lip until you agree. how funny; you were the one who introduced the concept, kissing him on the cheek one day, but he's the one who keeps asking for it again and again (and insisting you kiss him on the lips, just as friends).
michael doesn't seem to think much of itâ why would he? it's normal, it's friendship. from the very beginning, he'd let you set the boundaries of the relationship, and, from the very beginning, you'd decided there wouldn't be any. "this is what friends do," you'd reassure him, holding his hand in your own. michael never asked any further questions about it. it's not like he had other friendships around his age to compare this one to. besides, he's quite fond of the extra attention. overly fond of the extra attention, even.
so overly fond that maybe he knows you're not really friends, not in a normal way, but he doesn't care. it's cute watching your eyes gleam when you think you've pulled one over on him. it's cute when you insist that you're both just friends as michael asks with mock-innocence about his hands along your thighs. it's so cute, too cute, how you think you're in charge just because he's a little shy.
"you're my best friend," he admits quietly in your ear one evening, holding you between his legs while one of his favorite movies plays on the tv. michael's lips find the soft skin of your neck, pressing a light kissâ feather light, feigning hesitationâ "that's okay, right? that i do that?"
"yeah, of course," you breath out, nodding, "because we're best friends."
"good. i'd hate to make you uncomfortable," he whispers, kissing your neck again before settling. toeing the line but never pushing it, not yet. knowing you, you'll push it yourself, surprising michael one day with the idea of "friend-sex". he'll blink and blush and bat his eyelashes like the good boy he is, all while grinning on the inside. he smiles at the thought alone before murmuring, "thank you for being my friend. my best friend. i'm your best friend, right?"
"mhmm," you hum, "you're my best friend, michael."
"your only best friend, right?"
you nod, "my one and only. best friends forever."
just what he wants to hear. "best friends forever," michael repeats, his big hands gripping you just a little bit tighter against him in a pseudo-hug. best friends foreverâ or at least until you get the balls to ask him for more.
looking for more?
michael and reader and their freaky mind games. if you ever found out just how much he really knew and enjoyed your perversion of things, he'd just deflect it on youâ "says the one who invented 'friend kisses' just to kiss me!"â plus, since you're one of (if not the only) friend he has his age, he's possessive over you. "friends" or otherwise, you're very special to him. i can lwk see him getting creepy freaky abt it... 5 likes and i will expand my thoughts on michael being a bit of a creep abt you.
đ«summary: Michael was getting on your nerves and you had to handle that!
Michael was on his last straw with you. During you and Michaelâs supposedly fun day at a theme park that he begged you to go to. Heâs been nothing but irritating. Not the usual âcute and teasingâ way but purposely finding ways to make the vein in your neck bulge.
âNo, we donât need that right now.â You say. âDonât care!â He said while showing an evil grin as he proceeds to buy the comically large cup anyway.
âStop touching me.â He proceeds to pinch your butt every second he gets. âCut it out.â You gritted through your teeth.
âYou donât control me.â He said, rolling his eyes. You couldnât fight the throbbing headache at the base of your skull. âStop fucking playing, Michael.â Grabbing his wrist, you tugged him towards the parking lot.
In excitement? Confusion? Arousal? Maybe all. A hard lump settled in his throat, looking around to see if anyone noticed but of course everyone was too caught up in the next ride, they were about to get on.
A bit let down he was leaving early, he knew it was deserved. He knew what he was doing, pushing you to your limits until you snapped. A strike of fear ran through his heart feeling the almost painful grip of his wrist in your hand.
Once you both got into the car, you remained quiet. âDo you want me to drive?â Michaelâs meek voice spoke up, a sad attempt at a peace offering. You were so irritated, you couldnât even fathom to respond. He shut his mouth, fidgeting around during the drive home.
The car was dead silent, radio on mute, windows rolled up, only the sound of tires driving and other cars. Michael's shoe tapped against the car floor, making quick glances at you. Once you parked into the driveway, you didnât get out.
âGo upstairs and take your clothes off.â You told him while your eyes remained on the windshield, fingers drumming against the steering wheel. He knew better than to respond, settling on getting out the car and going upstairs.
You waited a few more minutes and let out a sigh, getting out of the car and heading inside. The house was dead silent, only sound being keys jingling in your hand as you ascended upstairs.
Stepping in, there sat Michael on the bed, hands clasped together on his thighs, soft bare skin revealed. His doe eyes looked up at you, hands now resting on his knees.
The silence felt heavy between the two of you and his lips rubbed together waiting for your next move.
A small smile formed on your lips, and he felt his heart drop to his ass.
âąâąâą
âP-please.â He begged, eyes glazed over in tears. The wet squelching of your hand pumping his dick sounded in the room. The television played lowly as you fixated on it, legs keeping a tight hold on Michaelâs body with his back pressed against your chest.
Your shoulder caught the weight of his head as it fell back against you. He swiped his tongue against his lips, swollen from biting on them. âM-mamaââ
âShut up and watch.â You sped up your pace, using your other hand to grasp his jaw, directing his focus to the tv. The rule was he couldnât cum before the movie ended, and he couldâve cried realizing he hasnât even reached the hour mark yet.
âI-Iâm sorry, Iâm so sorry,â Tears began to roll down his face. âYou sorry, baby? Shouldâve thought about that earlier.â You sarcastically pouted. The angry, leaking head wet your palm as you focused on his tip.
A whine fell from him, thrusting his hips into the air involuntarily. âM-mama, Iâm gonna cum.â He warned, fingers squeezing your thighs. Your actions came to a halt and a smile graced your face as you tightened your grip around his dick.
Michaelâs breath caught in his throat as you denied him yet another orgasm. All because he wanted a little attention. Just to see how far he could take it, now heâs stuck between your legs going through absolute torture.
A painful cry rung in the air, body screaming for his release. âBreathe. In and out.â You instructed him noticing the quick breaths he was taking. As he followed your directions, he closed his eyes, chest slowing down.
Once his body returned to its starting point, you began pumping again. Sensitive and tender, his breathing hitched followed by the slow roll of his eyes. Drool spilled from the corner of his lips and his fingers twitched against your thigh.
A sinfully angelic sight.
Broken moans spilled from his lips, and not a single thought was going through his head. Only the feel of your hand pleasuring him. Sweat was glazed over his body, overheated from the constant stimulation he was under.
You pressed a soft kiss against his forehead, damp skin against your lips. A small whimper tumbled from his mouth. His lips opened to say something but was choked back by a moan.
âYou need something, baby?â You cooed, using his jaw to turn his head towards you. He forced his eyes to look at you before nodding.
âI donât know, do you think youâve been good?â
âI-Iâm sorry, Iâll be good, I promise. I-Iâll do anything for you.â He whimpered. Mind teetering between the edge of reaching his breaking point, his dick twitched in your hand. Stiff and thick. Beads of pre cum rolling out in a hurry.
Even though the movie isnât close to over, you could tell he was starting to lose it. Delivering a soft kiss to the shell of his ear, you whispered, âcum for mama.â
With a sharp inhale, Michael let out a whiny moan as ropes of nut immediately shot out of his tip. Lanky limbs shaking against you, you held him tighter as he let go.
Thick spurts of cum splayed across his abdomen and your knuckles. Continuous whimpers spilled from his mouth, eyebrows furrowed as he watched your fist continue stroking him.
Overstimulation wasnât too far behind, legs twitching with a quick yelp when your fingers brushed against his tip. âI-I came already.â
âI know, baby, but you said youâll do anything for me,â you pressed a kiss against his cheek, noticing his eyes widen.
âAnd mama wants you to take everything sheâs gonna give.â
Can you do a fluff with, Maj or Jaafar with Reader, um, the reader asks them for, like, photos, and she basically cusses him out, and he's just, like, standing there, he's like, I love you so much. And she's like, boy, get out of my face, you know what I mean?
đ LOVE YA ANYWAYđ - JERMAJESTY J
ËËË pairing: jermajesty jackson x blackfem!reader
ËËË warning: fluff, reader is a bit grumpy
ËËË a/n: didnât really know what this meant but hereâs what I did đ
You were standing in the middle of your living room, hands on your hips, staring at the man you loved like he'd just lost his damn mind.
"Jermajesty, I swear to Godâ"
"Baby, I'm telling you, I sent them!" He held up his phone, waving it like evidence in a courtroom. "I sent them like an hour ago!"
"An hour ago?" You laughed, but it wasn't a nice laugh. It was the kind of laugh that meant trouble.
"Boy, I been waiting on those pictures since yesterday. You said you was gonna send me the behind-the-scenes shots from the studio. You said you had 'em. And now you're telling me you sent 'em an hour ago?"
"I did!"
"Then why ain't they in my phone, Jermajesty? Huh?"
He blinked at you, all six-foot-something of him, looking like a lost puppy in a hoodie. "Maybe... you got a bad signal?"
"A bad signal?" You took a step closer. "I'm on the Wi-Fi. I got five bars. I got full service. I could stream a whole movie right now. So don't tell me about no bad signal."
He scratched the back of his head, a nervous habit. "Okay, look... maybe I thought I sent 'em, but I was gonna send 'em to my mom and I got distractedâ"
"Distracted?" You threw your hands up. "Jermajesty, you are a whole grown man! How you gonna get distracted between sending pictures to your girlfriend and sending pictures to your mama? That's a whole different contact! That's a whole different conversation!"
"I know, I know, baby, I'm sorryâ"
"Sorry don't get me my pictures!" You pointed at the door. "You know what? Get out. Get out my face before I lose my mind."
He didn't move. He just stood there, staring at you with those big brown eyes, a slow smile creeping across his face.
"What?" you snapped. "Why you smiling? This ain't funny!"
"You're so beautiful when you're mad."
"Don't try that smooth talk with me, boy! I ain't in the mood!"
"I'm serious." He took a step closer, and you took a step back. "You got this little fire in your eyes, and your nose scrunches up when you yell, and you keep waving your hands like you're directing trafficâ"
"Jermajestyâ"
"I love you so much."
You froze. Your mouth opened, then closed. You blinked at him, trying to hold onto your anger, but it was slipping through your fingers like sand.
"Boy, get out of my face," you said, but your voice had lost its edge.
"I love you," he repeated, stepping closer still. "I love the way you cuss me out when I mess up. I love the way you roll your eyes at me. I love the way you say my whole government name when you're mad at me."
"Jermajesty Jermaine Jacksonâ"
"See, right there." He grinned, pointing at you. "That's my favorite. You only do that when you really love me."
"I do NOTâ"
"You do." He was right in front of you now, close enough that you could smell his cologne. "You love me. And I love you. And I'm sorry I didn't send the pictures. I'll send 'em right now. Watch."
He pulled out his phone, tapped a few times, and then looked up at you with that goofy smile. "Sent."
You stared at him. Then you looked at your own phone, which buzzed in your hand.
You glanced down, there they were, a whole album of photos.
"...Oh."
"Yeah." He tilted his head, smug. "Now can I get a kiss?"
"Nope."
"Please?"
"Boy, get out of my face."
"I love you so much."
You tried to keep a straight face. You really did. But the corners of your mouth twitched, and before you knew it, you were laughing despite yourself.
"You are so annoying," you muttered, pulling him into a hug.
He wrapped his arms around you, burying his face in your hair. "Yeah, but you love me anyway."

Spencer changes his mind about bringing you somewhere between ringing the bell and Rossi opening the front door.
âWe can still leave,â he says, leaning closer and lowering his voice as though someone might overhear him, despite the empty porch.
âYou spent three weeks convincing me to come.â
âI know.â He glances towards the house, and you watch the implications of what heâs done catch up with him. âI may not have thought this through.â
You follow his gaze to the nearest window. The curtain falls back into place with such violent innocence that you can practically hear Penelope Garcia denying everything from the other side.
âSheâs been waiting there?â
âPossibly.â
âHow long?â
Spencer glances at his watch. âWeâve only been here for forty-three seconds.â
âAnd sheâs already frightened you into retreat.â
âIâm not frightened.â His mouth pulls to one side, though his eyes stray to the curtain again. âI just want to make sure youâre comfortable.â
You look back at him. Heâs dressed slightly better than the occasion requires, which is normal enough that you noticed only in passing when he arrived at your flat. His tie is patterned but subdued, and his hair keeps falling forwards no matter how often he pushes it away. His coat is still unbuttoned despite the January cold; he began telling you about Rossiâs cooking before you made it out of your building and apparently forgot there were buttons involved.
The knot of his tie has worked its way a little to the left. You reach up to straighten it. âIâm comfortable.â
His attention drops to your hands. âYouâre cold.â
âIâm standing outside in January.â
âYou loosened the scarf.â
âIt made me look like I was being strangled by a blanket.â
âItâs cashmere.â
You glance down at the loosened scarf. âI know. That doesnât mean it wasnât aggressive.â
Spencerâs smile spreads slowly, warm and crooked and bright enough to make you forget the weather for a second. âThat doesnât make sense.â
âYou understood me.â
âI usually do.â
The door opens before you can answer. Rossi takes in the two of you on his porch â your fingers still resting against Spencerâs tie, Spencer standing close enough that the sleeve of his coat brushes yours â and lets his eyes linger on your hand before returning to Reid.
âReid.â He steps aside. âAnd you must be the woman who stole his seat.â
You turn on Spencer. âYou told him that?â
âItâs how we met.â
âThatâs not how we met.â
Rossi accepts your coat. You unwind the scarf and hold it out without looking; Spencer takes it automatically, hanging it beside your coat while he continues to regard you with the stubborn composure of someone who possesses an eidetic memory and has appointed himself sole custodian of the past.
âThere was a programme on the chair,â he says.
âThere was rubbish on the chair.â
âIt was the programme for the lecture.â
âWhich had already started.â
âThat doesnât make it rubbish.â
Rossi closes the door behind you. âYou can argue the case over dinner. Iâve heard Reidâs testimony several times.â
You follow him into the hall, looking sideways at Spencer. âHow many times have you told this story?â
âIt comes up more often than youâd think.â
Before you can ask how a disagreement over auditorium seating could possibly come up at the Behavioral Analysis Unit, someone makes a small, delighted noise at the end of the hallway.
Garcia appears in a sweep of colour, bracelets and barely restrained curiosity. âYouâre real.â
âGarcia,â Spencer warns.
âI never suggested she wasnât.â She reaches you and takes both your hands, looking you over with such open pleasure that itâs impossible to feel inspected. âIâm Penelope. I have been waiting so patiently to meet you that I think I deserve official recognition from the Bureau.â
âYou sent me four messages this afternoon,â Spencer says.
Garcia dismisses this with a flick of her bracelets. âAnd every one of them was supportive.â
âOne of them was nine exclamation marks.â
She hugs you before you have decided whether handshakes are still an option. Over her shoulder, you find Spencer watching you, ready to intervene and relieved when he sees he doesnât have to. He knows you have never enjoyed entering a room full of strangers. He also knows that Garcia has rendered strangers impossible within thirty seconds.
Morgan comes around the corner carrying two bottles of wine. âSo this is whoâs been taking up all your Thursdays.â
Spencerâs head turns. âShe doesnât take them up.â
âYou make that sound worse,â you tell him.
âI mean, I choose to spend them with you.â
Morganâs eyebrows rise. âAnd disappear before anyone can give you another file.â
Spencer has already turned back to you, taking the bag from your shoulder before you have to hitch it back into place.
âI leave work at a reasonable time on Thursdays,â he adds. âThat isnât disappearing.â
âYou texted me from the lift last week saying, âI escaped.ââ
âTheyâd already given me three,â he says, as though this settles the choice of verb.
Morgan studies the two of you for another second, then gives you a slow nod. âYouâre going to fit in fine.â
The rest of the introductions happen in Rossiâs living room, where the fire is lit and every available surface has acquired either a glass or a plate. JJ greets you with an easy warmth that eases the last of your nerves. Hotch is more reserved, although the handshake he offers comes with a sincere, âItâs good to finally meet you.â
Between the BAUâs cases and your own habit of declining invitations to crowded gatherings, finally becomes the common thread of the evening. Oddly, the feeling is mutual. Spencer has been talking about his team for seven years, long enough that you sometimes forget youâve never actually met any of them. Tara, seated on the arm of a chair, tells you that she has only known Spencer for a few months and has somehow still heard enough about you to recognise your name immediately.Â
You look at him. âWhat have you been telling these people?â
âNot much.â
Morgan sets the wine beside Rossiâs decanter. âHe brings you up more than he thinks he does.â
âOnly when something reminds me of her,â Spencer says.
âSo whenever anyone sits in a chair,â you say.
âOnly if they sit in my seat.â
âThat wasnât your seat.â
Tara looks between you. âIâm beginning to see how you two have kept an argument about a chair going for seven years.â
âSeven years, two months and six days,â Spencer corrects.
âIt is,â JJ agrees, a small smile tucked into the words, and Rossi calls everyone to the table before you can work out what she finds funny.
He has prepared enough food for twice as many people and accepts praise as his due. The conversation moves easily around you, propelled by the overlapping stories of people who spend too much time together. Morgan disputes Rossiâs version of an arrest in Baltimore; JJ supplies the part both men have omitted. Tara waits until they have nearly finished before revealing that Garcia showed her the security footage and neither account is accurate.
At the head of the table, Hotch listens with the patience of a man who has long since accepted that authority has limits.
As everyone gathers around the table, Spencer rests a hand on the back of an empty chair. You slip into it without either of you acknowledging the gesture, and he takes the seat to your right, tucking your bag safely beside his feet.
The conversation follows everyone to the table, breaking and reforming as chairs are pulled in and Rossi begins sending dishes around. When the bread reaches Spencer, he selects the darker end piece before handing you the basket. Heâs looking down at his plate, but you catch the twitch at the corner of his mouth.
You dig beneath the slices for the remaining end and set it on your plate.
âDid you just take that?â
He arranges his face into innocence. âTake what?â
âYou know I like the end.â
âThere are two ends.â
âYou took the better one.â
âTheyâre structurally identical.â
âThey absolutely are not.â
He lets you make your case, then exchanges his piece for the one on your plate with the ease of a ritual completed many times before. You tear the bread in half and put half back on his plate, which is when you notice Tara watching from across the table, amusement gathering at one corner of her mouth.
âWhat?â you ask.
âNothing.â She reaches for her wine. âIâm learning.â
Spencer leans nearer to you. âAbout bread?â
You give him a look and take a bite. He glances across at Tara, clearly tempted to investigate.
âDonât make the face,â you warn.
âWhat face?â
âThe one you make before asking a question that adds twenty minutes to a conversation.â
Spencer turns to you, brow furrowed and mouth pulled into a small, dubious line. âI donât have a face for that.â
âYou do,â JJ says from his other side.
Morgan points his fork at her. âHe definitely does.â
Spencer appeals to Hotch, who takes a measured drink of wine. âYou do.â
The table breaks into laughter, Spencer along with it. His head tips back, his eyes close, and the smile opens across his face without the flicker of self-consciousness that sometimes follows when he realises a room is watching him. You know the quieter laugh he uses when heâs trying not to encourage you, the startled one that escapes when you catch him off guard, the breathless, helpless version that makes him fold forwards and hide his face. This one is easy and bright. He looks happy.
You are still watching when he turns back. The laughter remains in his eyes as his expression shifts into a question, and only then do you notice the small streak of sauce near the corner of his mouth.
âHold still.â You wipe it away with your thumb before it occurs to you that a napkin would have done the job just as well.
His lips part at the touch. For a second, the noise of the table seems to move around the two of you, then you drop your hand and reach for your glass. By the time Spencer does the same, Morgan has turned the conversation towards Rossiâs wine.
Later, once the plates have been cleared and Rossi produces a tiramisu large enough to require architectural planning, Garcia asks how you and Spencer became friends after what she calls the Auditorium Incident.
âShe followed me outside,â Spencer says.
âYou followed me.â You turn towards him, eyebrows raised at the version of events he has chosen to present. âApparently handing me a pen and saying âHereâ was supposed to communicate a short-term loan.â
âI thought it was obvious.â
Morgan rests an elbow on the table. âWas this at least a good pen?â
âNo. It leaked all over my hand.â
âThatâs what I was trying to tell her when she walked away.â
JJ glances between you. âSo you followed a woman out of a lecture hall over a defective pen?â
âI didnât follow her,â Spencer says, a little too quickly. âShe was walking towards the Metro.â
âI was walking towards coffee. He spent three blocks correcting a route I wasnât taking.â
Garcia presses both hands to her heart. âAnd he came with you.â
âIt had started raining,â Spencer says.
JJ looks at him. âYou hate coffee shops.â
âTheyâre usually loud.â
âThat one was,â you say. âYou stayed after the rain stopped anyway.â
He looks at you, momentarily caught without a correction. His knee has rested against yours beneath the table for most of the conversation, warm and solid through two layers of clothing. âYou were interesting.â
The answer is simple, offered without embarrassment. Before you can decide what to do with it, Rossi cuts into the tiramisu. âAnd the rest is seven years, two months and six days of arguing.â
âWe donât always argue,â Spencer says.
âYou called me at midnight last week because my bookshelf leans.â
âIt leans towards your bed.â
âProtectively.â
He gives you a long, suffering look. âItâs going to fall on you.â
Hotch hides a smile behind his wine. âHe may have a point.â
âThank you,â Spencer says, vindicated, and you promise the table that when he appears at your flat with a spirit level, they are all invited to help him.
The evening loosens after dessert. Rossi opens another bottle of wine, Morgan finds music, and people drift between the living room and kitchen as the conversation divides into smaller pieces. You spend a while talking to JJ and Tara near the fire. Spencer is pulled into a discussion with Hotch on the other side of the room, but his attention returns to you often enough that you begin to anticipate it. You look up, and his eyes are already there.
He never stares. His gaze finds yours, checks, and returns to the conversation. When Garcia drops onto the sofa beside you with enough force to send your glass wobbling, his hand lifts from across the room before you catch it yourself.
You raise the rescued glass in his direction. He smiles, lets his hand fall and turns back to Hotch.
Between the fire and the overlapping voices, the room soon grows too warm. You finish what remains in your glass, leave it on the side table beside Garcia and slip through the doors onto the back terrace. At the stone railing, you draw one full breath of cold air before the door opens behind you.
âYouâre going to say you told me so,â you say.
Spencer settles your coat over your shoulders. âI was going to ask why you came outside without this.â He draws the fabric closed at your throat, making sure your hair stays clear of the collar.
âSame sentiment.â
âNot exactly.â
You turn before he has taken his hands away, leaving the two of you close enough that his hands slide down to your elbows instead. Through the glass doors, Garcia is looking directly at you. Morgan comes up beside her, follows her gaze and says something you canât hear.
âWhat are they doing?â
Spencer glances over his shoulder. Both of them disappear from the window.
âI donât know.â
âTheyâre very strange.â
âThey like you.â
His certainty draws your attention back to him. âTheyâve known me for three hours.â You reconsider this, glancing towards the living room. âThen again, Garcia gave me copies of your childhood photographs.â
Spencerâs eyebrows lift. âShe gave you copies?â
âAnd made me promise Morgan would never see them. You were very serious about that chess trophy.â
Spencer smiles, small and pleased. âThat means she trusts you.âÂ
You laugh, and his thumbs shift against the sleeves of your coat. The movement is small, nearly absent-minded. You have held his hand through turbulence, hooked an arm through his in crowded streets and fallen asleep against his shoulder during films neither of you remembers finishing. This belongs to the same familiar language, a touch whose meaning has never required either of you to stop and examine it.
You rest your hands against the front of his jacket. âI like them too.â
The line of his shoulders softens. âI knew you would.â
âEven Morgan.â
âThatâs premature.â
The door opens, and Morgan sticks his head outside. âWe can hear you, genius.â
Spencer looks back at him without removing his hands from your arms. âShe said she likes you.â
âI heard the rest too.â Morgan gives you a wounded look before retreating inside.
Spencerâs grin is immediate and entirely unrepentant. It stays with him as you go back indoors together, his hand resting lightly between your shoulder blades. Once the doors close, he eases the coat from your shoulders before the heat can become uncomfortable and carries it back to the hall.
Itâs close to midnight when people begin leaving. Hotch goes first, followed shortly by JJ. Morgan hugs you and tells you to come back even if Reid doesnât, Garcia informs him that threatening a guest is poor etiquette and then hugs you twice as hard. By the time Tara finds her coat, Spencer is helping Rossi carry glasses into the kitchen, although the discussion drifting down the hallway suggests that helping involves an argument about the safest way to store crystal.
âIt was lovely meeting you,â Tara says. She loops her scarf around her neck, then glances towards the kitchen with affectionate amusement. âI understand now why he keeps disappearing on Thursdays.â
âHeâll be pleased you believe it counts as disappearing.â
âIâm sure heâll explain the distinction to me at length on Monday.â She reaches for the door, then pauses. âIâll admit, I was confused at first. Reid talks about you all the time, but he never mentioned you were his girlfriend.â
The word is gentle, tossed into the conversation without any reason to be careful with it.
âHis girlfriend?â
Tara looks back at you. The realisation reaches her a moment later. âOh. Iâm sorry. I thought the two of you were together.â
Behind her, Garcia stops rearranging the bracelets on her wrist.
âNo.â The answer comes automatically. It is a simple fact. You and Spencer have never crossed that line or even discussed it. The rest ought to follow just as easily. Instead, weâre just friends catches somewhere behind your teeth, suddenly too small to account for seven years of Thursdays and everything the others have been watching all evening. The evening begins moving through your mind again, Rossi opening the door to find your hand on Spencerâs tie, Morganâs eyebrows when he said Spencer chose to spend Thursdays with you, JJâs quiet smile, Tara watching the bread pass between your plates, Garcia and Morgan vanishing from the terrace window. âItâs not like that. Weâre notââ
âYou ready?â
Spencer comes down the hallway with your bag in one hand. His attention passes from your face to Taraâs and then to Garcia, who has become far too interested in her bracelets.
âWhat happened?â
âNothing,â Tara says, recovering first. âI was saying goodnight.â
You canât find the end of the sentence you were saying. âYeah. Iâm ready.â
He holds your coat while you slip your arms into it and frees your hair from beneath the collar with practised fingers. The touch is the same one you have barely noticed a hundred times. Now the word girlfriend seems to catch against it.
Rossi appears at the end of the hallway. He surveys Tara, whose hand is still on the door, Garcia valiantly looking elsewhere and Spencer adjusting your scarf. âGoodnight,â he says, much too entertained for someone who canât possibly know what has just happened.
By the time the two of you reach the Metro, Spencer has filled the walk with an account of Rossi insisting tiramisu canât be made properly without alcohol. He talks while you wait on the platform and keeps going once youâre inside the carriage. The earliest known versions of the dessert lead to the disputed origins of ladyfingers, which somehow bring him back to the argument about stacking Rossiâs crystal.
Usually, you interrupt. You ask questions, argue over details or tug him back to the original point when one tangent begins producing another. Tonight, you watch his reflection in the darkened window while he talks. His curls have grown increasingly disordered over the course of the evening, and one falls across his forehead whenever he turns towards you. Interest animates his whole face â his eyes brighten, his hands move with the rhythm of his words, and every trace of fatigue leaves him for as long as the thought holds him.
You know all of this because you have always known him. What it does to you when he turns that attention on you is hardly new; the part you have never allowed yourself to question is what any of it means from his side. A room full of profilers watched the two of you for a few hours and assumed they already knew. Tara gave that assumption a name, and now every small, familiar thing seems to return carrying the possibility with it.
When the train lurches around a curve, Spencerâs hand closes lightly around your forearm. He releases you once you are steady, still talking. You feel the place his fingers were long after the warmth is gone.
Outside the station, the pavement is damp from an earlier rain, catching the streetlights in long, blurred reflections. Spencer slows his stride to yours without acknowledging the adjustment. He has glanced at you more than once since the train pulled away, waiting at the end of a sentence as though he expects you to tug the conversation elsewhere, and each time he has gone on when you donât. Youâre only a few blocks from home when his explanation of why Rossiâs crystal glasses should never be stacked trails off.
âEverything okay?â His words soften as he studies your face. âYouâve been unusually quiet.â
âYeah. Iâm good.â
He doesnât look convinced, but he lets you have the answer. You make it another half-block before a disbelieving laugh slips out.
âWhat?â
You shake your head. âDid you know Tara thought we were dating?â
A smile begins at one corner of his mouth. âWhat?â
âYeah.â Saying it aloud makes you unexpectedly shy. You push your hands deeper into your coat pockets. âApparently everyone did.â
You expect him to laugh. You expect him to question the teamâs observational abilities or reconstruct the evidence that led them there. Instead, the smile falters as something you cannot read moves through his expression, and for the first time all evening Spencer has nothing to say.
At the corner, he waits for the light with his hands in his coat pockets and his shoulders drawn in against the cold. The unfinished explanation about Rossiâs glasses hangs somewhere behind you.
âSpence?â You bump your arm against his. âGot really quiet there for a minute.â
He looks at you, then towards the signal as it changes. âDid you correct her?â
You start across the street beside him. âI tried. Then you came over.â
âWhat were you going to say?â
âThat it wasnât like that. That we werenâtâŠâ
âDating,â he supplies.
âRight.â
He nods, but the silence returns. You reach the other pavement and stop. Spencer takes one more step before noticing you are no longer beside him.
âWhat?â he asks.
âYouâre being strange.â
âIâm not.â
âYou abandoned a fact halfway through.â
âI can finish it.â
âI donât want to hear about the glasses anymore.â
His eyebrows lift. âThen why did you bring them up?â
âSpencer.â
He goes still. For a moment he simply looks at you, his hair untidy from the wind, a nervous half-smile appearing and disappearing at the corner of his mouth. When he speaks, each word sounds measured.
âI didnât realise it was that obvious.â
Your pulse stumbles. âWhat was?â
He doesnât answer with words. His gaze holds yours, open enough that you can see the question heâs too careful to ask and the truth he has already let escape.
âOh,â you say. Everything you have been turning over since Rossiâs house settles into place at once. Spencer is still watching you with nervous hope, and Taraâs mistake no longer feels entirely like one.
Spencer glances down at the wet pavement, then back at you, waiting.
âWhy didnât you say anything?â
âI didnât want to lose you,â he says quietly, holding your gaze this time.
For several seconds, all you can do is stare at him. âSpencer, I rearranged my entire week so I could keep Thursdays free for you.â
He blinks. âYou said Thursday was convenient.â
âItâs convenient. I made it convenient.â
âFor me?â he asks, still sounding uncertain enough to make you want to shake him.
You let out a breath and catch the lapels of his coat. âYes. For you.â
Then you pull him down and kiss him.
The first touch of your mouth to his goes awry only because Spencer inhales at exactly the wrong moment. His body stills beneath your hands. You feel the startled warmth of his breath, the edge of his lower lip and the smallest movement as he begins to respond â just before nerves get the better of you and you draw back.
His eyes stay closed for another second. When they open, he stares at you, lips parted.
âBecause I wanted Thursdays with you,â you say, still holding his coat. âAnd because I think Iâve wanted to do that for longer than I realised.â
His gaze searches your face. âYouâve wanted this too?â
âYes, Spence.â
Relief breaks across his face as one of his hands finds your waist, tentative only until you lean into it.
âThen why did you stop?â he asks.
A nervous laugh slips out. âYou went completely still.â
âI wasnât expecting you to kiss me.â His fingers curl into your coat and bring you a little closer. âI am now.â
You kiss him again.
This time Spencer meets you halfway. One hand settles against the side of your neck, his thumb fitting beneath your jaw, while the other draws you in at the waist. He kisses you slowly at first, learning the angle, and then with an eagerness that makes you smile against his mouth. His answering laugh is breathless, one you have never heard before and already know you will want to hear again.
When the cold finally makes itself impossible to ignore, you part only far enough to breathe. Spencerâs forehead rests against yours, his breath still unsteady.
âGarcia is going to be unbearable,â you whisper.
âSheâs going to say she knew.â
âShe did know.â
Spencer closes his eyes. âPlease donât tell her that.â
You laugh and smooth the curl the wind has dropped between his eyebrows. He catches your hand as you lower it, keeping your fingers curled inside his.
âAre Thursdays still mine?â he asks.
âTheyâre still yours.â
He keeps hold of your hand as you begin walking again, his thumb moving over your knuckles while his shoulder keeps brushing yours. He makes it almost half a block before speaking.
âFriday,â he says.
âWhat about it?â
âAre you free?â
âNo.â
His disappointment is immediate. âOh.â
You let him endure it until you reach the next streetlight. âBut I can move things.â

The sun had disappeared not too long ago, leaving the country roads illuminated by little more than your headlights and the occasional glow of the moon overhead. The journey had started pleasantly enough. There was something oddly calming about being alone with your thoughts, watching the scenery change from busy highways to endless fields and quiet back roads. You hadn't minded the drive at all. In fact, for most of it, you'd been singing along to the radio without a care in the world, drumming your fingers against the steering wheel whenever a favourite song came on and laughing to yourself whenever you forgot half the lyrics. There was nobody around to hear you, after all, and that somehow made it even more enjoyable.
Eventually, though, the music faded into bursts of static as you drove further into the countryside. You twisted the dial a few times in search of another station, but every attempt was met with the same crackling interference. With a small sigh, you admitted defeat and switched the radio off altogether.
"Well... that's just rude," you muttered to yourself with a small smile.
The silence settled around you almost immediately.
It wasn't unpleasant, but it did give your mind far too much room to wander. You found yourself thinking about how much longer you had left to drive, whether the little town marked on your map was actually as close as it claimed to be, and if it would still have somewhere open by the time you arrived. You were beginning to regret not stopping at the last gas station you'd passed nearly an hour agoânot because you needed fuel, but because at least there had been people there. Out here, there was nothing but open land stretching endlessly in either direction.
You glanced at the clock on the dashboard. It was later than you'd realized. 'If I'd known this road was gonna take forever...' you sighed, shaking your head. Almost as though the car had taken your complaint personally, it gave a small shudder beneath you. Your eyebrows drew together.
"...Huh."
You loosened your grip on the steering wheel for a second before tightening it again, listening carefully. The engine continued to hum as it always had, and after another few seconds you convinced yourself it had probably just been a bump in the road.
Then it happened again. This time there was no mistaking it.
A strange sputter echoed from somewhere beneath the bonnet, followed by a brief hesitation that caused the car to jerk ever so slightly before carrying on.
"Oh, no..."
You instinctively looked down at the dashboard, your eyes darting between the gauges as though one of them might explain what was happening. Everything seemed... normal enough. Nothing immediately jumped out at you.
"C'mon," you murmured a little desperately, giving the steering wheel an encouraging little pat. "Don't start acting up now..."
You pressed your foot a little more firmly against the accelerator. The car responded. For all of thirty seconds. Then the engine coughed again, louder this time.
Your stomach sank.
"No, no, no..."
Your gaze immediately searched the road ahead. Nothing. You checked your rear-view mirror. Still nothing.
Not a single pair of headlights. Not another car. Not even a farmhouse with a porch light glowing in the distance. The realization settled over you far quicker than you'd have liked.
If something happened to the car out here, you were completely on your own.
"...Okay," you whispered to yourself, taking a slow breath. "Think."
You reached across to the passenger seat and rummaged through your bag, eventually pulling out the folded road map you'd been relying on all afternoon. You unfolded it across the steering wheel, smoothing out the stubborn creases with your palm as your eyes searched for where you thought you might be. You thought.
There was one problem.
Every winding road on the page suddenly looked identical beneath the dim glow of the dashboard lights. With a quiet huff, you folded it back up again, and tossed it onto the passenger seat. Maybe you could flag somebody down.
The thought barely had time to settle before you looked through the windshield again. There wasn't anybody to flag down. Not a single passing car.
You chewed thoughtfully on the inside of your cheek before reaching for the door handle.
The night air greeted you immediately, warm but noticeably cooler than it had been during the day. It carried the scent of grass and fresh earth, accompanied by the constant chorus of crickets hidden somewhere amongst the fields. Closing the car door behind you, you wrapped your arms loosely around yourself and looked up and down the road once more, almost hoping that standing outside would somehow make another driver magically appear.
No such luck.
With a defeated sigh, you walked around to the front of the car and released the bonnet latch from inside. A moment later, you lifted it open, propping it up as you stared into the engine. You had absolutely no idea what you were looking at.
There were... engine things. Hoses. Metal. More hoses.
You blinked.
"...Yep."
You couldn't help but laugh quietly to yourself. It was either laugh or cry, and crying wasn't likely to get the engine running again.
Resting your hands on the edge of the bonnet, you let out a long breath and looked across the dark fields surrounding you. They seemed endless beneath the moonlight, interrupted only by the occasional line of fencing disappearing over the hills.
Beautiful.
Just not somewhere you'd particularly wanted to spend your evening. You wondered briefly how long it'd be before somebody happened to drive this way.
Ten minutes? An hour? Morning?
The last possibility made you straighten slightly.
Morning.
You looked back towards the car, then down the empty road stretching out in front of you. No. Surely not.
You weren't going to spend the entire night sitting on the side of some unfamiliar country road waiting for daylight. There had to be another option. There was always another option. At least, that was what you told yourself.
You lowered the bonnet again and walked back around to the driver's side, opening the door and reaching inside for your bag. Your first thought was your phone, even though you already knew what you were going to find. You picked it up anyway, pressing the button and waiting for the screen to light up.
No signal.
You stared at it for a moment longer than necessary, as though the little bars in the corner might suddenly appear out of pity. They didn't.
You let out a quiet sigh of defeat and lowered the phone into your lap.
It was strange how quickly a situation could change. Less than an hour ago, you had been enjoying the drive, singing along to the radio and thinking about how peaceful the countryside was. Now you were sitting in a car that refused to start, in the middle of nowhere, trying to figure out what your next move was.
You weren't someone who scared easily. Usually, when something went wrong, you were the person who tried to stay calm and find a solution. Panicking never helped anything, and you knew that. But there was something unsettling about not knowing what came next.
You didn't know how far away the nearest person was. You didn't know if anyone would even pass by. You didn't know if your car was dealing with a small problem that could be fixed in the morning or something much worse. The uncertainty was what bothered you the most.
You rested your head back against the seat, closing your eyes for a moment.
"Okay," you whispered again, mostly to yourself. "Don't panic."
Taking a deep breath, you opened your eyes and looked around the car. There was a small blanket folded in the backseat, a half-empty bottle of water, and a few snacks you'd bought earlier without thinking much about them. Not exactly enough supplies to spend a night stranded, but enough to make you feel slightly less helpless.
You reached for the blanket, placing it beside you, before looking back out through the windshield. You glanced at the road once more, wondering if you should try walking.
Maybe there was a house nearby that you hadn't noticed. Maybe someone would answer the door and let you use their phone.
But the thought of leaving your car behind made you hesitate.
What if someone came by and moved it? What if you walked in the wrong direction? What if the nearest house was much further away than it looked?
You hated admitting it, but you didn't actually know what to do.
For a few minutes, you simply stood there beside the open car door, listening to the sounds around you. The quiet hum of the night. The wind moving through the grass. The distant sound of something you couldn't identify somewhere far out in the fields.
Then, just as you were beginning to accept that you might have to wait it out...
You heard something. At first, you thought it was your imagination. A faint sound in the distance. You held still, listening carefully.
There it was again.
An engine.
Your eyes immediately lifted towards the road.
For a second, you weren't sure if you should feel relieved or cautious.
A pair of headlights appeared in the distance, slowly making their way towards you. The sight of them made your shoulders relax before you even realised how tense you had been.
Someone was coming.
You stepped away from the car slightly, watching as the vehicle approached. The headlights grew brighter, illuminating the empty road in front of it as the sound of the engine became louder.
It was an old pickup truck.
And although you were grateful that someone had finally come along, you couldn't ignore the small voice in the back of your mind reminding you that whoever was driving was still a stranger.
So you stayed where you were, waiting.
The truck slowed as it reached you, eventually pulling over a short distance ahead of your car.
The engine remained running for a moment.
Then the driver's door opened slowly, and for a moment all you could see was the silhouette of the person stepping out against the glow of the headlights behind him.
He wasn't what you had expected.
You weren't entirely sure what you had expected, truthfully. Maybe some tired-looking mechanic who had happened to come across you on his way home, or perhaps someone who would immediately ask what was wrong with the car before anything else.
A cowboy hat rested on his head, casting a shadow over his features, and he wore a simple button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly, paired with worn jeans and boots that looked like they had seen plenty of long days outside. There was nothing particularly intimidating about him. If anything, the way he approached you was careful and considerate.
A flashlight hung loosely in one hand, though he kept it pointed towards the ground rather than directly at you. He stopped a few feet away from you, leaving enough distance between you that you didn't feel cornered.
"Evenin'," he greeted. His voice was softer than you expected.
You gave him a small nod.
"Hello."
His eyes briefly moved towards your car, taking in the open bonnet before looking back at you.
"Everythin' alright?"
There was genuine curiosity in the question. You let out a small breath, almost embarrassed by the situation. "Uh, no, not reallyâmy car. It decided to just stop working..."
He glanced back at it again.
"Out here?"
You nodded.
"Apparently."
A small smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Well..." he murmured, adjusting the brim of his hat. "'s probably about the worst place she could've picked." Despite yourself, you smiled slightly.
"Yeah. I was thinking the same thing."
The man seemed to relax a little when he saw you smile. He looked back towards the truck, then towards the road behind you.
"Been waitin' long?"
"Nah, not too long," you answered. He gave you a look that suggested he didn't quite believe you. A quiet chuckle left him.
"Right."
He took a step closer to the car, but stopped before reaching you.
"Name's Michael, by the way."
He removed his hat as he spoke, holding it against his side. It was such a simple gesture, but it immediately stood out to you. Like he had been raised to treat every introduction with a certain amount of respect. "'m sorry. I should've said that first."
You shook your head, "'s okay."
He smiled softly.
"Well, I'm Michael."
He paused, waiting for you to introduce yourself. When you did, he repeated your name quietly, committing it to memory.
"'s a pretty name for a pretty girl."
The words came out naturally. Almost as if he hadn't realized he'd said it aloud until after he had. You just blinked at him, taken aback by the bluntness. A faint blush appeared on his face, and he cleared his throat before looking back towards the car.
"Mind 'f I take a look at it, suga'?"
The nickname caught you slightly off guard as well. But this time not because it felt inappropriate. Quite the opposite. The way he said it was so gentle, so naturally warm, that it felt less like flirting and more like a habit. Something he'd probably been saying his whole life.
You nodded. "uh, yeah sure. Go ahead."
"Alright."
He moved towards the front of the car, rolling his sleeves up a little further as he looked beneath the bonnet. You watched him for a moment.
There was a sense of relief that came with seeing someone who actually seemed to know what they were doing. You had tried your best, but staring at an engine and hoping it would explain itself had only gotten you so far. At least now there was someone who could take a proper look.
Michael leaned over the front of the car, his flashlight moving carefully over the different parts beneath the bonnet. Every now and then he hummed quietly to himself, not in frustration, but more like he was thinking through what he was seeing. You rested against the side of the car, watching him.
"Do you know much about cars?" you asked after a moment. He glanced up briefly.
"A little," he admitted. "Spent 'nough time fixin' up old trucks 'nd farm equipment that y' kinda pick things up whether y' want to or not."
There was a small smile on his face as he looked back down. "Can't say I ever planned on spendin' my evenings under a bonnet, though."
You smiled slightly too. "Sounds like you've had a lot of practice."
"More than I'd like," he chuckled softly. "Somethin' always needs fixin' when y' live out here." He moved something beneath the bonnet, checking a few different parts before stepping back slightly.
"How long has she been actin' up?"
You thought back. "Honestly? Not long. My car was fine most of the drive. The radio started cutting out first, and then itstarted making that weird sound." Michael nodded slowly.
"Mm."
That little sound made you look at him. "Is that a good 'mm' or a bad 'mm'?"
A quiet laugh escaped him.
"I'd say it's somewhere 'n the middle."
"That's not exactly reassuring."
"Nah, I know," he said, smiling. "Sorry, suga'."
There it was again. The nickname. You still hadn't quite gotten used to it. And if you were honest, it does make you blush a little.
Michael leaned back down, examining something near the engine.
"She ain't overheatin', is she?"
"No. The temperature looked normal."
"Strange smells?"
"No."
"Any noises before this?"
You thought for a second. "Just the sputtering."
He nodded again.
"Alright."
There was a brief silence as he continued checking over the car. You noticed that he wasn't rushing. He wasn't randomly pulling things apart or pretending to know exactly what was wrong. He was actually taking his time, trying to figure it out.
"Y' from 'round here?" he asked after a moment.
You shook your head.
"No. Just passing through."
"Thought so." You raised an eyebrow.
"What gave it away?"
He looked up, a small smile appearing.
"Well, folks 'round here know better than to take this road after dark unless they gotta."
You laughed quietly. "Good to know."
"Didn't mean it like that," he quickly added, almost as if he worried he had offended you. "Just... this road's pretty empty. Easy to get stranded."
"I figured that out."
That earned a small laugh from him.
"Yeah, I reckon you did."
He returned his attention to the engine, and for a while the only sounds were the night around you and the quiet movements of him working. It was odd.
A few minutes ago, you had been completely alone, wondering how long you would have to wait before anyone came by. Now you were standing beside a stranger's truck on the side of the road, and somehow the situation felt much less overwhelming.
After another few minutes of looking over everything, Michael finally straightened up, wiping his hands together as he stepped back from the engine.
You watched his expression carefully, trying to figure out whether he had good news or bad news before he even spoke. Unfortunately, his face didn't give much away.
"Well..." he started.
You waited hopefully. He looked back at the car, then at you.
"Don't think she's gonna be drivin' anywhere tonight."
You let out a quiet breath, though you weren't entirely surprised. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you'd already accepted that possibility.
"That bad?"
"No, I wouldn't say bad," he assured you quickly. "Just... ain't somethin' I can fix out here with what I got."
He reached down, closing the bonnet carefully.
"Looks like it's probably somethin' with the engine. Could be a few things, but I don't wanna start guessin' 'nd make it worse."
You nodded, appreciating that he didn't pretend to know more than he did. "So what does that mean?"
Michael glanced down the road, then back at you.
"Means y' probably need a mechanic."
You gave him a small, humorless laugh, "that would be easier 'f I only knew where one was."
"Closest one?"
You nodded.
"Yeah."
He was quiet for a moment.
"About thirty-five, forty miles."
Your eyebrows lifted. "You're kidding..."
"Wish I was."
You looked back at your car, then at the empty road ahead. That was definitely not the answer you were hoping for. Michael noticed the expression on your face and immediately softened.
"Hey."
You looked back at him.
"Don't worry. We'll figure somethin' out."
The way he said it was simple. Not like a promise that he could fix everything, but like a reminder that you weren't stuck dealing with it by yourself anymore. You nodded slowly.
"Thank you for stopping, by the way." He looked almost surprised by the gratitude.
"'Course."
"No, I mean it. You didn't have to..."
Michael shook his head slightly, putting his hat back on.
"Yeah, I did."
The answer came so naturally that you almost didn't know how to respond. He seemed to realize how certain he sounded and gave a small shrug.
"I mean... anybody would've stopped."
You both knew that probably wasn't entirely true. But you didn't point it out. Instead, you smiled a little.
"So what now?"
Michael looked back towards his truck.
"Well..."
He hesitated. And for the first time since he'd arrived, you noticed a little uncertainty in him.
"I got a place not too far from here," he explained. "Jus' a few minutes down the road."
You listened quietly.
"My mama raised me better than to leave somebody stranded out here overnight." A small smile appeared on his face.
"Especially not a lady."
The words made you smile slightly.
"Your mom sounds like a good woman."
"She is."
There was a warmth in his voice when he said it that made it clear there was no hesitation behind the statement.Michael looked back towards the road.
"You got somewhere y' supposed t' be tonight?"
You shook your head.
"Not really. I was just trying to get to the next town."
He nodded.
"Alright."
Another pause. Then he looked at you.
"Now, I know we're strangers, and I don't wanna make you uncomfortable, but..." He adjusted the brim of his hat, almost nervously.
"My place is right nearby. Got a spare room. You could use the phone, get yourself somethin' warm to eat, 'nd figure out what you wanna do in the mornin'."
He quickly continued before you could answer.
"Only if you're comfortable with that, of course. Don't want you thinkin' I'm just some fella offerin' up his house to a woman he just met."
A small laugh escaped you. "I wasn't thinking that."
"Good," he said, smiling faintly. "Just wanted t' make sure."
You looked down the empty road again.
Normally, you wouldn't consider accepting an invitation from a stranger. You knew better than that. But there was something about the way Michael carried himself, the way he had gone out of his way to make sure you felt comfortable, that made the idea seem less frightening. And besides...
You weren't exactly overflowing with better options. You looked back at him.
"How far is it?"
Michael smiled slightly.
"Not far. Five minutes."
You considered it for another moment before nodding.
"Okay."
His expression softened with relief.
"Alright."
He stepped back towards his truck.
"Go ahead 'nd grab whatever you need from your car. I'll give you a hand."
You opened the driver's door, reaching inside for your bag and the few things you'd need for the night. As you did, you couldn't help but glance back at him. Michael was standing beside his pickup, waiting patiently.
The drive to Michael's place was quiet at first. Not uncomfortable, just quiet.
You sat in the passenger seat of his truck, your bag resting beside your feet as you looked out the window at the fields passing by. It was strangely peaceful.
Michael kept both hands on the steering wheel, his attention mostly focused on the road ahead. Every now and then, though, he would glance over briefly, just to make sure you were alright. He tried not to make it obvious. He really did.
But now that you were sitting closer to him, it was a little harder to ignore.
When he had first stepped out of his truck, the darkness and distance had made it difficult to see much about him. Now, under the soft glow of the dashboard lights, he could see you properly. And he thought you were beautiful. Such a pretty girl.
Not just in the way people usually meant when they said something like that. It wasn't only your appearance, though he couldn't deny that you were very pretty. There was something about the way you carried yourself. The way you had tried to stay calm despite being stranded. The way you had thanked him more than once, even though he hadn't done anything extraordinary in his mind. You seemed kind.
And Michael liked kind.
He quickly looked back at the road when he realized he had been staring for a second too long.
"Everything alright?" you asked. His eyes flickered back towards you.
"Yeah," he said quickly. "Yeah, 'm alright."
You smiled slightly, though you weren't entirely convinced.
"You sure?"
He gave a small nod.
"Just thinkin'."
You looked back out the window.
"About my car?"
"That too."
There was a brief pause. Then, with a small smile, he added, "Mostly thinkin' about what I'm gonna do with it tomorrow."
You laughed softly, "I appreciate you taking this seriously."
"'Course."
The answer came easily. You looked at him for a moment. The same thing happened to you then. Up until now, you had mostly been focused on the fact that he was helping you. You had noticed his kindness, his manners, the way he spoke so gently. But sitting beside him like this, you had the chance to actually look at him. And you had to admit...
Michael was very handsome.
Not in an obvious, overly confident way. There was something softer about him. His features were gentle, his eyes kind, and there was an almost boyish quality to his smile that made him seem younger than you initially expected. You found yourself looking away when he glanced in your direction, suddenly aware that you had been staring.
"You always help strangers on the side of the road?" you asked, mostly to distract yourself. Michael just smiled.
"Not always."
You raised an eyebrow.
"No?"
"Nah."
You looked at him.
"Then why me?"
He thought about it for a moment before answering.
"'cause y' looked like y' needed help."
It was such a simple answer. You smiled softly.
"That's a pretty good reason."
Michael shrugged lightly.
"Seems like the right thing to do."
The truck continued down the road, the silence returning for a moment. Michael glanced over again when he thought you weren't looking. And this time, you noticed. You didn't say anything. You just smiled quietly to yourself and turned your attention back towards the window.
Usually, sitting in a stranger's car would have felt strange. You probably would've found yourself searching for something to say, filling every quiet moment just to avoid the unfamiliarity of it all. But with Michael, the silence seemed easy. Every now and then, he would ask you something small. Where you were headed. How far you'd been driving. Nothing too personal. And every time you answered, he listened.
"So," he said after a moment, one hand resting comfortably on the steering wheel, "what made you take this road anyway?"
You looked over at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, like I said before, most folks 'round here know better than t' take this way at night unless they live nearby."
You smiled slightly.
"That your way of saying I made a bad decision?"
He let out a quiet laugh.
"No, no. Ain't sayin' that." His eyes briefly flickered towards you before returning to the road.
"Just curious."
You looked back out the window. "I was trying to get somewhere faster."
Michael nodded.
"That usually ends up bein' how it goes."
"What does?"
"People tryin' to save time and endin' up takin' the longer way."
You laughed softly, "are you speaking from experience?"
He smiled.
"Maybe."
"You've done that before?"
"Maybe."
You smiled at that.
"Do you live alone?" you asked. The question came out naturally, though you immediately wondered if it was too personal. Michael didn't seem to mind it though.
"Nah," he answered. "My family lives close by."
"Oh."
He nodded.
"I've got my own place, but we're all still pretty close." There was a warmth in his voice when he spoke about them. You smiled.
"That sounds nice."
"It is."
The warmth inside the truck slowly became more noticeable as the drive continued.
At first, you hadn't minded it. After standing outside in the cool night air for so long, the heat had actually been comforting. But sitting beneath the soft glow of the dashboard lights with the windows rolled up, you started to feel a little too warm. You shifted in your seat, pulling lightly at the sleeves of your thin jacket.
Michael noticed the movement out of the corner of his eye.
"You alright?"
You looked over.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just getting a little warm." He nodded, immediately turning his attention back to the road.
"Can turn the air up if ya need."
You smiled slightly.
"I think I'll survive."
"Alright. Just makin' sure suga''."
You shook your head amused. After another moment, you slipped the jacket off your shoulders, relieved to finally get rid of the extra layer of warmth. You folded it loosely and tossed it onto the passenger seat beside your bag, revealing the simple black tank top you had been wearing underneath.
The fabric is soft and clings to your curves, hugging your chest and stomach in a way that feels liberating despite the unfamiliar company.
The sudden movement draws Michael's attention. As you settle back into the seat, adjusting your position to find some relief from the heat, the low neckline of the tank top dips lower. Your breasts, full and soft, press against the dark fabric, creating a deep, inviting cleavage that catches the dim glow of the dashboard lights.
Michael's grip tightens fractionally on the steering wheel. His eyes betray him for a split second, flickering downward toward the swell of your chest before he forces them back to the road ahead. He swallows hard, his Adam's apple bobbing in the shadows. "Yeah..." he manages to rasp out, his voice sounding slightly rougher than it did moments before. "Could be gettin' warmer."
You notice the slight shift in his demeanor, the way his breathing seems to catch for a heartbeat, but you attribute it to the heat as well. "Mhm, it sure is."
You stretch your arms above your head, feeling the fabric of the tank top pull across your torso, emphasizing the soft swell of your hips and the generous curve of your waist.
Michael keeps his gaze fixed forward, but his jaw is set tight. He's hyper aware of your presence beside him now. He was fighting every inch of himself to not look over again. He did not want to come across as a creep and scare you off.
He just wasn't used to this.
Not the feeling itself, exactly. Michael had always appreciated beauty. He noticed it in people, in nature, in music. But there was something different about having someone sitting right beside him, someone whose presence he was becoming increasingly aware of.
And he didn't want to make you uncomfortable.
"So..." you said after a moment, breaking the quiet. Michael glanced over.
"Hm?"
"You said you live on a farm?"
He smiled.
"Yeah."
"Do you actually do all the farm stuff yourself?"
He chuckled, "Some of it. Ain't exactly easy work, but I like it."
"You don't get tired of it?"
He thought about it.
"Sometimes."
You laughed. "At least you're honest."
"Well, 'm not gonna lie 'nd say I wake up every mornin' excited to fix fences."
That made you laugh.
"But most days?"
"Most days, yeah."
You looked out at the passing fields again.
"I think I'd like that."
"Farm life?"
"Maybe. It seems peaceful."
Michaels face softened.
"It can be."
He paused.
"But it can also be a lot of work."
"I believe that."
Another quiet moment passed. Then Michael spoke again, his voice a little softer.
"You'll get to see it soon."
You looked back at him.
"The farm?"
He nodded.
"Yeah."
A small smile appeared on his face.
few minutes later, the glow of the headlights caught the outline of a house in the distance. You looked out the window as Michael turned the truck onto a gravel driveway, the tires crunching softly beneath you. The house wasn't anything extravagant, and honestly, you hadn't expected it to be. It was a simple farmhouse with a porch light glowing warmly near the front door, surrounded by open land that stretched out into the darkness. It looked comfortable. Lived in. Like a place where someone had spent years building a quiet life.
"This is it," Michael said, slowing the truck as he pulled closer to the house. You looked around, taking it in for a moment.
"It's nice."
Michael glanced over briefly, a boyish smile appearing on his face.
"Yeah. 's my home."
He parked the truck and turned off the engine, leaving the two of you sitting in the sudden quiet for a moment. Without the sound of the road beneath you, the night seemed even calmer. You could hear the faint sounds of the countryside around youâthe wind moving through the fields, the occasional noise of an animal somewhere in the distance.
Michael reached for his keys before stepping out of the truck. You followed a moment later, grabbing your bag from the seat, though before you could properly lift it, Michael was already reaching for it.
"I got it." You looked at him.
"You really don't have to carry my things."
He looked almost confused by the statement.
"I know."
The simple answer made you smile a little. He wasn't doing it because he thought you couldn't handle it. He wasn't trying to make a point. It was just something he did without thinking. As you walked towards the house, Michael glanced over at you.
"Hope y' don't mind stayin' here tonight."
You shook your head. "Are you kidding? I'm just happy I don't have to figure out how to sleep in my car."
That earned a quiet laugh from him.
"Yeah, figured that probably wasn't the best option."
"No," you agreed. "Definitely not ideal."
Michael smiled slightly as he unlocked the front door.
"I got a spare room y' can use," he explained as he opened it. "'s nothin' fancy, but it's clean. There's fresh towels in there, 'nd y' can use whatever y' need. Bathroom's just down the hall."
You stepped inside, looking around as he switched on the lights.
The house felt exactly like you imagined it would. Not in a stereotypical way, but in a comfortable one. There were little signs of everyday life everywhere. A few things placed where they were actually used, furniture that looked like it had been there for years.
"Michael, this is already more than enough," you said. He looked back at you.
"Don't worry about it."
The way he said it was gentle, like he didn't want you feeling like an inconvenience. You followed him down the hallway as he showed you the room.
"I know this is probably a little strange," he admitted. "Comin' all the way out here 'nd endin' up at a stranger's place."
You tilted your head slightly.
"A little."
He nodded, almost expecting that answer.
"But I promise I ain't gonna make you regret it."
The words came out before he seemed to realize how serious they sounded. His cheeks warmed slightly, and he quickly looked away, adjusting the brim of his hat.
"I mean..." he added, a little awkwardly, "you know what I mean."
You couldn't help but giggle. "I do."
He seemed relieved. When he reached the spare room, he opened the door and stepped aside so you could see inside. It was simple, but comfortable. A neatly made bed, a small dresser, and enough space for your things. Nothing luxurious, but after spending the last hour wondering if you'd be sleeping in your car, it felt more than enough.
"Y' can put your bag there," Michael said, pointing towards the dresser. "'nd if you need anything, just call out."
You nodded.
"Thank you, Michael. Really."
He flashed you a smile.
"You're welcome."
There was a brief pause before he added, softer, "Make yourself at home, suga'."
After making sure you had everything you needed, Michael lingered for only a moment longer.
"Alright," he said softly. "I'll let you get some rest."
You nodded, suddenly realizing just how tired you actually were. The adrenaline from your car breaking down had kept you awake, but now that you were somewhere safe, the exhaustion was finally catching up with you. "Thank you again, Michael."
He smiled, shaking his head slightly. "You've thanked me enough times already."
"Still."
"Well... you're welcome." He stepped back towards the doorway, pulling his hat down slightly as he prepared to leave.
"'f y' need anythin', 'm right down the hall." You nodded. "I will."
"Alright, suga'. Goodnight."
"Goodnight, Michael." He gave you one last small smile before quietly closing the door behind him. The moment you were alone, you let out a long breath and looked around the room.
A few hours ago, you had been driving alone, singing along to the radio and thinking about nothing more than getting to your destination. Then your car broke down, a stranger found you, and now you were standing in a spare bedroom on a farm you hadn't even known existed.
You weren't sure how you felt about it all yet. But you were tired. Very tired. You pulled your phone from your bag and checked it again, though you already knew there still wasn't any signal. At least you had downloaded a few songs before the trip, so you wouldn't have to spend the night in complete silence.
You grabbed your earbuds, putting on a familiar playlist. The soft music filled the quiet room, giving you something familiar in a place that was still completely new.
The music through your earbuds helps block out the silence of the house as you move around the small room. You feel a little sticky from the drive and the humidity, so you decide to get out of your clothes before getting into bed.
You reached for the hem of your black tank top, pulling it over your head and setting it aside. You kick your by now uncomfortable pants off, leaving them in a heap on the floor.
You figured you were just going to sleep in your undergarments today, as the jeans and the tank top where a little too uncomfortable right now. For a moment you just stood there in the room, only wearing your matching black lace bra and panties, feeling the cool air from the room finally hit your skin.
Down the hall, Michael walked past the spare room with your thin jacket folded neatly over one arm.
He had noticed it sitting on the passenger seat of his truck when he went back outside to grab the rest of your things. At first, he had thought about simply leaving it on the chair in the hallway or outside your door, but then he figured it might get forgotten there. Besides, it was your jacket, and he knew the nights out here could get colder than people expected.
So, after a moment of hesitation, he decided he would just give it back to you.
He stopped outside the door, adjusting his grip on the jacket before raising his hand and knocking softly against the wood.
"Hey, suga'?"
No answer.
Michael waited a few seconds, glancing down the hallway. Maybe you hadn't heard him. He knocked again, a little louder this time.
"Sorry, 's just your jacket. Y' left it in the truck."
Still nothing.
He frowned slightly out of uncertainty. He didn't want to interrupt you if you were already asleep, but he also didn't want to leave without making sure you had it.
The faint sound of music coming from inside explained it. You must have your earbuds in. Michael hesitated for another moment before carefully opening the door just a little.
"Hey, I just wanted toâ"
The words died in his throat immediatly.
You were standing in the middle of the room, facing away from him, and you weren't wearing your clothes. Well, you were barely wearing any clothes.
His brain took a full second to catch up. The black tank top was gone. The jeans were gone. In their place was a thin strip of black lace across your hips and a matching bra that pushed your tits up so high and so full he thought his heart might stop. The lamp on the bedside table threw warm light across your skin, catching the curve of your waist, the soft swell of your ass barely covered by the lace, the long line of your back.
Michael's hand went white-knuckled around the jacket.
He should move. He should turn around, close the door, walk away, pretend he never saw a thing. Every voice in his head was screaming at him to do exactly that. His feet wouldn't listen. His feet were bolted to the floor, and his eyes were locked on you, and his breath had gone somewhere he couldn't find it.
Then it hit him. Not the shame, not the guilt â that came later. First came the heat, low and sudden and brutal, surging up from his gut and slamming straight into his cock. It went hard so fast it almost hurt, a thick, heavy ache pressing against the inside of his jeans, and he felt himself twitch against the denim like his body had a mind of its own.
God. God, he shouldn't be looking. He shouldn't be standing here at all.
You shifted, reaching for something on the dresser, and the movement made your ass sway under the lace. Michael's mouth went dry. His cock throbbed, straining so hard against his jeans that he could feel every heartbeat in it, and the shame hit him then â hot and ugly and tangled up with the want until he couldn't tell them apart.
He couldn't do this. He couldn't stand here watching you like some animal.
Michael pulled the door shut as quietly as he could manage, the latch clicking soft behind him, and he was moving before he even knew he'd decided to. Down the hall, past the bathroom, into his own room. He closed the door and leaned his back against it, chest heaving, and his hand went to the front of his jeans before he could think better of it.
He was already so hard it hurt. The denim was tight and unforgiving around him, and when he pressed his palm flat against himself he let out a shaky breath through his teeth. He fumbled with the button, the zipper, shoved his jeans and his boxers down his hips, and his cock sprang free â heavy, thick, aching, flushed dark and leaking at the tip.
He wrapped his hand around it and his eyes fell shut.
He shouldn't be doing this. You were a guest in his house, a stranger he'd brought in off the road, a woman who'd trusted him enough to sleep under his roof. And here he was, jerking off to the memory of you in that black lace. Shame burned low in his belly, but it did nothing to cool the heat. If anything, it made it worse.
He worked his hand slow, up and down, and his mind went where it wanted to go.
He pictured you on your back in his bed, that black lace pushed up around your waist, your tits spilling out of the bra as he settled between your thighs. Pictured your legs wrapped around him, your heels digging into his back, the way you'd sound as you gasped his name when he pushed into you. He imagined the weight of you, the soft give of your hips under his hands, the way you'd feel clenching around him â
Michael's jaw clenched. A low sound rumbled up out of his chest and he stroked himself faster, thumb dragging over the head, smearing the slick that kept beading there.
Then he pictured you on top of him. Cowgirl. You straddling his hips, that black lace gone, your tits bouncing as you rode him, your head tipped back, your mouth open, taking him deep and slow and then fast, riding him until he couldn't think straight. He could almost feel your weight on his thighs, the heat of you, the way your cunt would grip him â
He was ashamed of himself. He was. But his hand kept moving, and his cock kept throbbing, and the image of you wouldn't leave him alone.
He pictured you bent over the edge of the bed, your ass in the air, that lace pulled to the side. Pictured himself behind you, hands on your hips, pushing into you from behind, watching the way you'd take him. He'd grab a fistful of your hair, gentle but firm, and pull your head back, and you'd moan his name â
Michael's breathing went ragged. He leaned his head back against the door and stroked himself harder, faster, chasing it, and the shame and the want tangled up until he couldn't separate them anymore. All he knew was the heat building low in his gut, the image of you burned behind his eyes, the sound of his own rough breathing filling the dark room.
He was so close. He could feel it building, coiling hot and tight, and he stroked himself with a desperate rhythm, his mind full of you â every position, every angle, every way he wanted to take you. The shame was still there, gnawing at the edges, but it only made the heat burn brighter.
His whole body tensed. He came with a shuddering gasp, his hips jerking into his fist, spilling hot and thick over his knuckles and his stomach, and for a long moment he just stood there, breathing hard, his forehead pressed to the door.
Michael looked down at his hand, at the mess he'd made, at the shame curling in his chest. He should feel worse. He knew he should. But all he could feel was the ghost of you â the curve of your waist, the swell of your pretty ass, the way the lamplight had caught your skin â and the knowledge that he was going to have a hell of a time looking you in the eye coming morning.
He cleaned himself up with a cloth from the bathroom and washed his hands. He didn't sleep much that night.
Morning came slow and pale through the curtains, the light thin and gray, and for a long moment you weren't sure where you were.
Then the smell of old wood and hay and something warm drifted in, and it all came backâ
The broken-down car, the empty road, the cowboy who'd pulled over like he'd been sent for you.
You lay there a minute, letting the room come into focus. The bed was softer than you'd expected, the blanket heavy and warm. Outside, a rooster crowed somewhere distant, and you could hear the low sound of a truck engine idling, then cutting off. The farm was also waking up.
You stretched, the sheet slipping down your shoulders. The night air had cooled everything, and you reached for your clothes on the floor â your black tank top and the jeans and pulled them back on.
The hallway smelled like coffee. That was the first thing. Warm and dark and bitter, drifting up from somewhere downstairs, and your stomach turned over at the thought of it. You followed the smell down the stairs, past a coat rack and a stack of old boots, and the house opened into a kitchen at the back.
And there he was.
Michael stood at the counter with his back to you, one hand wrapped around a mug, the other holding a phone to his ear. He'd changed â fresh jeans, a clean flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, the same worn boots. But the hat was still there, sitting easy on his head like it was part of him, and the sight of it made you smile.
"Nah, I told you," he was saying into the phone. "She just died on me. Right there 'n the side of the road, 'bout half a mile past the old Whitfield place. Engine sputtered out 'nd wouldn't start again."
A pause. He took a sip of coffee.
"I don't know what's wrong with it, 's the thing. 'm no mechanic, but I looked her over best I could. Somethin' with the engine, I reckon. Y' think y' could take a look at her?"
Another pause, longer this time. He nodded to himself.
"Mm-hm. Yeah. I got her here at the house. She's stayin' with me 'til we figure it out."
He glanced toward the window, and the morning light caught his profile â the line of his jaw, the way his brow furrowed a little as he listened. He was handsome in a way that snuck up on you, easy and unassuming, and you caught yourself staring.
"Alright," he said into the phone. "I'll bring her by tomorrow if that works. Appreciate it, Marlon. Yeah. You too."
He pulled the phone away from his ear, tapped the screen, and set it down on the counter with a small sigh. And then he turned, reaching for his coffee and stopped. His eyes landed on you standing in the doorway, and something flickered across his face. Surprise, maybe. Or something warmer. He blinked, and a smile pulled at the corner of his mouth, slow and easy.
"Mornin', suga'."
"Good morning," you said, and his smile widened a little.
"Sleep alright?"
"Better than I expected, honestly. That bed's real comfortable."
"Glad to hear it," he said, and he meant it. He gestured with his mug toward a chair at the kitchen table. "Coffee's fresh. Made it 'bout twenty minutes ago. There's eggs 'nd bacon if y' want somethin' to eat."
"You didn't have to do all that."
"No trouble," he said, already moving to the stove. "Was gonna make breakfast anyway. Just makin' a little more."
You sat down at the table, and he worked at the stove with his back to you, cracking eggs into a pan, the bacon already sizzling. The kitchen was warm and smelled like home, and for a minute you just watched him move â easy, unhurried, like he'd been doing this his whole life.
"Soooo, that was your brother on the phone?" you asked.
"Yeah," he said over his shoulder. "Marlon. He's the one in the family who actually knows his way 'round an engine. Runs a little repair shop over in the next town."
"Think he can fix my car?"
"If anybody can, it's him," Michael said. "Said he'll take a look at her tomorrow. I'll drive y' over there myself, if y' want."
"You'd do that?"
He turned, and there was something soft in his expression.
"Course I would."
He said it like it was the simplest thing in the world, and your chest did something quiet at the sound of it. He turned back to the stove, and the sizzle of the bacon filled the silence.
"You're really kind, Michael."
He ducked his head a little, and you could've sworn his ears went pink.
"Just doin' what's right."
He slid the eggs onto a plate, added the bacon, and brought it over to set in front of you. He was close enough that you caught his scent again. Dust, hay and soap, fresh from a morning shower, and something underneath that was just him.
"Eat up," he said, settling into the chair across from you with his own coffee. "Gonna be a long day."
You picked up your fork, and he watched you take the first bite. Then he reached for his mug, and his eyes drifted, just for a second, just a glance. Down over your shoulders, along the line of your neck, where the tank top sat loose against your collarbones.
And then he remembered.
It hit him all at once, the way it did every time he closed his eyes last night. You in that black lace, the lamp catching the curve of your waistâ The heat came back low and sudden, and his hand tightened on the mug.
He looked away fast, down at his coffee, and his jaw worked. His ears went red, creeping up his neck, and he cleared his throat.
"Good eggs," he managed, not quite meeting your eyes.
You tilted your head.
"You alright, Michael?"
"Yeah," he said, a little too quick. "Yeah, 'm fine. Just â hot coffee. Burns the mouth."
You smiled, not quite convinced, but you let it go.
"Alright."
He took a long sip, staring down at the table, doing everything he could not to think about the way you'd looked yesterday.
You set your fork down, chewing the last bite of bacon, and looked across the table at him. He was still staring at his coffee like it held the secrets of the universe, his ears a little pink at the tips.
"So your brother's gonna take a look tomorrow?" you asked.
Michael blinked, coming back to himself. "Yeah. He's real good with engines. If it's fixable, he'll find it."
"That's good." You paused, turning the thought over. "So I guess I should probably start looking into a hotel or something. I don't want to be a bother."
His head came up fast at that, his brow furrowing. "A hotel?"
"Well, yeah. I can't just stay here for free. You've already done more than enough."
"Suga'." He set his mug down, and there was something almost offended in his voice. "Y' not a bother. Not even close. You're welcome t' stay here as long as it takes. I got the room, I got the food, and I got nobody else fillin' either one. 's no trouble at all."
You looked at him, at the earnest set of his jaw, the way he'd gone from flustered to firm in the space of a breath. "You're sure?"
"Positive." He said it like it was the easiest answer he'd ever given. "You stay right here 'til your car's fixed. I won't hear any argument about it."
A warmth spread through your chest, quiet and unexpected. "Alright. Thank you, Michael."
He nodded, a small smile tugging at his mouth, and reached for his coffee again. The silence settled easy between you, comfortable, and you found yourself looking around the kitchen â the worn wooden table, the row of hooks by the door, the window over the sink looking out onto green fields.
"So," you said, "you got a farm. What kind of animals do you have?"
Michael's face lit up. It was subtle â just a crinkle at the corners of his eyes, a loosening of his shoulders â but it was there. He leaned back in his chair, cradling his mug.
"Well, let's see. I got a couple'a horses â a mare named Daisy 'nd a gelding called Buck. Buck's got a mean streak, but he's all talk. Daisy's the sweet one. She'll follow you 'round the paddock like a dog."
You smiled. "That's cute."
"They're good company," he said, and there was a fondness in his voice that made you believe it. "Then there's the chickens. 'Bout a dozen of 'em, plus a rooster who thinks he runs the whole place. His name's Jasper. He's got an attitude problem, but he lays... well, the hens lay. He just struts around makin' noise."
You laughed. "He sounds like a character."
"He's a menace," Michael corrected, grinning. "But a lovable one. Then I got two goats â Bill 'nd Nanny. Billy's a little escape artist. Got out three times last month, 'nd I found him eatin' my neighbor's roses every single time."
"Oh no."
"Oh yes. Neighbor ain't spoken to me since." He shook his head, but he was smiling. "And then there's the cows. I got a small herd â 'bout fifteen or so. They're mostly just... cows. They stand around, chew grass, look at you like you owe 'em money."
You laughed again, and the sound of it seemed to settle something in him. He watched you with a soft expression, like he was enjoying the sight of you smiling in his kitchen.
You looked out the window, at the green fields stretching toward the barn in the distance. The morning light was warm on the grass, and somewhere out there a horse nickered, soft and distant.
"Could we go see them?" you asked, turning back to him. "The horses, I mean. I've always liked horses."
Michael's face did something quiet and pleased, like you'd asked him something he'd been hoping to hear. "Yeah," he said, setting his mug down and pushing back from the table. "Yeah, I'd like that. Let me just grab my boots."
He was already moving, and you smiled at his back, at the easy way he'd said yes. You stood too, and followed him toward the door, the morning stretching out warm and unhurried ahead of you both.
The screen door creaked as Michael held it open for you.
A cool breeze met you the second you stepped outside, carrying the smell of damp earth and fresh-cut grass. The sun had climbed higher while you'd been eating, burning away the last of the morning haze. Everything looked washed clean in the light.
The farm stretched farther than you'd realized from the kitchen window.
Rolling pasture disappeared into the distance, fenced in with weathered wood. A faded red barn stood a little ways off, its doors thrown open, and beyond that sat a wide paddock where two horses grazed lazily with their heads low.
"C'mon," Michael said, slipping his hands into his pockets. "They're out this way."
You fell into step beside him. The gravel crunched beneath your boots as you walked. Every now and then he kicked a loose stone off the path without thinking, his stride long but unhurried, always slowing just enough so you didn't have to keep up.
"You've lived here your whole life?" you asked.
"Mhm."
He nodded toward the fields.
"Parents bought the place when I was just a little thing. Not much changed since then."
"You never wanted to leave?"
He thought about it.
"I did."
You looked over at him.
"When I was younger." He shrugged. "Thought there had t' be somethin' bigger out there."
"And?"
He smiled to himself.
"Turns out... bigger ain't always better."
There wasn't any sadness in the way he said it. Just certainty.
"I like knowin' everybody in town. Like wakin' up before the sun. Like hearin' the birds instead'a traffic." He glanced toward you. "Guess I'm a simple man."
"I don't think simple's the right word."
"No?"
"I think... content."
That earned a quiet laugh.
"I'll take that."
They walked another few yards before the horses noticed them. The chestnut mare lifted her head first. Her ears perked immediately.
"Daisy," Michael called.
The mare whinnied softly before breaking into an eager trot toward the fence. You laughed.
"Oh my God, she really does come when you call."
"Told ya."
He climbed onto the lowest fence rail with practiced ease, leaning over to scratch behind Daisy's ears. She practically melted into him, nudging insistently against his shoulder until he laughed again.
"Easy now."
Watching him with the horse was... different.
He became even gentler somehow.
His voice dropped into a soft murmur, fingers brushing through her mane with absent affection, and Daisy responded to every touch like she trusted him completely.
"You've got her wrapped around your finger."
"Nah." He rubbed her forehead. "I'm the one wrapped around hers."
You smiled. "I can tell."
He looked over his shoulder at you.
"You wanna pet her?"
"I don't know if she'll like me."
Michael looked almost offended by the suggestion.
"Daisy likes everybody."
He stepped aside, leaving space beside him.
"Come here."
You approached slowly, reaching out with a cautious hand.
The mare sniffed your fingers, her breath warm against your skin, before nudging your palm with her nose.
"Oh."
Your face lit up.
"Hi."
Michael watched the entire exchange with an expression so soft it almost hurt.
"See?"
You scratched gently between Daisy's eyes.
"She's beautiful."
"Ain't she?"
You turned to him with a grin that was brighter than the morning sun.
"I think she likes me."
"I think she's already decided you're stayin'."
The words slipped out before he realized he'd said them. His eyes widened.
"IâI meanâ"
His ears immediately turned pink.
"I just meant..." He rubbed the back of his neck. "Long enough t' get your car fixed."
You couldn't help smiling.
"I know what you meant."
"...Right."
He looked very interested in Daisy's mane all of a sudden.
You bit back a laugh.
The barn had a different kind of quiet than the rest of the farm.
Outside, there was always something moving â the rustle of grass in the wind, the distant call of birds, the occasional sound of an animal making itself known. But inside the barn, everything felt slower. The air was warmer, heavy with the scent of hay and old wood, with sunlight slipping through the cracks between the boards and painting golden lines across the floor.
You'd been following Michael around for most of the morning, watching him move from one task to another. He had shown you the horses, introduced you to the chickens like they were actual members of the family, and warned you very seriously not to trust Bill the goat, who apparently had a personal vendetta against anything that looked expensive.
You were beginning to understand why he liked it here. There was something peaceful about it.
And there was something about Michael himself that fit into it perfectly.
He stood near Daisy's stall, one hand resting on the wooden gate while he checked the latch. His sleeves were still rolled up, his flannel slightly worn at the elbows, and that hat sat on his head like it had been there forever.
Eventually, you couldn't help yourself.
"SoâŠ" you said, leaning against the half-door of Daisy's stall. "Do cowboys ever take those hats off?"
Michael looked up from fastening the latch.
"Hm?"
You pointed at him.
"The hat."
He blinked.
"I've been wondering all morning."
His hand instinctively touched the brim. A small smile tugged at his mouth.
"Yeah, I take it off."
"Hmm."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What?"
"I don't know. I'm starting to think it's attached."
He laughed, shaking his head. "It ain't attached."
"You sure?"
"Pretty sure."
You looked at him, pretending to study the hat. "I've never actually seen you without it."
Michael opened his mouth to respond, then paused. You caught it. Your eyebrows lifted.
"What?"
"You hesitated."
"I did not."
"You did."
He gave a quiet laugh, looking down at the ground.
"You're somethin' else."
"That's not a denial."
Michael's jaw worked, but nothing came out. He just stood there in the barn door's shadow, arms folded, that worn straw hat low over his eyes, and you watched him try to find words. Before he could answer, you stepped closer. There was a little bit of hay caught near the brim, and you reached up without thinking.
Michael went still.
Not because you were doing anything strange, but because you were suddenly close. Close enough to smell him â hay and sweat and something warm underneath, like sun-baked leather. Your fingers brushed the edge of the hat, and before he could say anything, you lifted it from his head.
"There," you said, placing it on your own. The band was still warm from his skin. "See? Not attached." You tipped the brim slightly, grinning. "How do I look?"
Michael stared. Like his brain had forgotten what it was supposed to do. His eyes moved from the hat, to you, and then immediately away again â but not before they caught on your mouth.
And you saw it, the way his gaze snagged there for half a second too long. The tips of his ears turned pink first, then the color slowly crept down his neck, into the collar of his shirt. You lowered your smile.
"Michael?"
He cleared his throat, and his voice came out rough.
"Yeah. Uh..." His hand rubbed the back of his neck. "Y' might wanna..." He gestured vaguely toward the hat. "...take that off."
You blinked.
"What?"
"The hat."
You laughed softly. "Why? You said it wasn't attached."
"I know, I know." He shook his head quickly. "'s just..."
He looked genuinely embarrassed now, which only made you more confused. His eyes kept flicking to the hat on your head and then away, like he couldn't stand to look at it and couldn't stand not to.
"What?"
Michael glanced toward the barn door, then back at you, like he was hoping someone else might magically appear and save him from the conversation.
Finally, he sighed.
"My brothers... They used t' give me a hard time 'bout it."
"About the hat?"
"About what it means when somebody takes it."
You frowned slightly.
"What it means?"
He nodded, then immediately looked like he regretted saying anything. He shifted his weight, and the movement made his shirt pull across his shoulders, and you noticed it in a way you hadn't before.
"There's... kinda an old cowboy thing." You waited. Michael swallowed, his throat working.
"People joke that if... if a woman takes a cowboy's hat, it means sheâ uh... that she wants to... ride the cowboy, 'f y' know what I mean..." He mumbled the last words, almost too embarrassed to say it out loud.
The silence they left behind felt different than beforeâ heavier, warmer, like the air had gotten thick.
You stared at him.
A beat passed.
Then another.
"Oh..."
His face somehow got even redder.
"Yeah."
"Oh."
"I know."
"No, I meanâ"
You reached up quickly, taking the hat off your head. "I didn't know thatâ"
"I know you didn't."
"I was literally just messing with you."
"I know."
He smiled a little, trying to reassure you, but he still looked mortified. The smile didn't reach his eyes â his eyes were doing something else entirely, tracking you, watching the way your fingers moved over the brim.
"I figured."
The silence that followed was awkward, but not uncomfortable. Because now you were both suddenly aware of something that hadn't been there a few minutes ago. The closeness.
The way his eyes kept flicking back to you before he caught himself. The way you were suddenly very aware that his hat had been sitting on your head, warm from his skin, smelling like him.
You looked at it, then held it out to him.
"Here."
Michael reached for it, and your fingers brushed. Both of you paused. It was barely a second. But it was enough.
His hand was calloused and rough against yours, and he didn't pull away right away â he let the contact sit there, skin to skin, and you felt the heat of his palm before he finally closed his fingers around the hat and took it back. He settled it onto his head, pulling the brim down slightly lower than before, like he was hiding behind it.
You watched his throat move when he swallowed.
"You know," he said quietly, "for what it's worth..."
You looked at him. A small smile appeared on his face, and this time it reached his eyes.
"Y' did look good 'n it."
Your cheeks warmed.
"Thanks."
He nodded, looking away â but not before you caught the way his gaze dropped to your lips again, lingered, and then dragged itself up to meet yours.
"Y' welcome."
Neither of you moved. The barn creaked around you, and somewhere a horse shifted in its stall, and you both stood there in the warm, hay-scented quiet, the hat between you like a line neither of you was quite ready to cross.
Michael looked away first.
And you could see the effort it took. The way his jaw tightened slightly, the way he adjusted the brim of his hat even though it didn't need adjusting. Like he was trying to put something back into place.
"Well," he murmured, clearing his throat. "I should probably finish up out here before lunch." You nodded, even though neither of you moved right away.
"Right." Another pause.
Then Michael gave you that small, shy smile of his.
"Come on. I'll show you the rest of the place."
You followed him out of the barn, but the moment didn't disappear behind you. It followed you. It lingered in the space between you as you walked across the farm, in the quiet glances that lasted a second too long, in the way Michael seemed just a little more careful with himself than he had been before. Not distant. Just... aware.
Like he had become suddenly conscious of every little thing he did around you.
Michael showed you the rest of the property like he had promised. He took you past the old fence line that bordered the far pasture, pointed out the creek that ran along the back of the land, and told you about the time he had found Bill the goat halfway up a stack of hay bales with absolutely no explanation for how he'd gotten there.
You laughed so hard at the story that Michael had to stop walking just to look at you.
"What?" you asked, noticing. He shook his head. "Nothin'."
"You were staring."
"I was not."
"You were."
A small smile tugged at his mouth. "Just ain't heard someone laugh like that in a while."
Michael seemed to realize he'd said something too honest because he looked away, clearing his throat and turning his attention back toward the pasture.
"You wanna see the creek?" You smiled.
"Yeah."
And you followed him. By the time you made your way back toward the house, the afternoon sun had started to soften. The golden light stretched across the fields, catching on the tall grass and making everything look like it belonged in a painting. You found yourself slowing down. Not because you were tired. Because you didn't want the walk to end. That thought surprised you. You barely knew this man.
Before yesterday, you hadn't even known he existed. And yet somehow, walking beside him felt easy. Natural.
Michael noticed you had fallen behind and slowed his pace.
"Y' alright?"
You looked up. "Yeah, 'm good."
He studied you for a moment.
"Well..."
He looked toward the house, then back at you.
"I should probably start on dinner soon."
The thought of him cooking made you smile.
"You cook every day?"
"Most days."
"By yourself?"
"Mhm."
"That's actually kind of impressive."
He laughed softly.
"'s nothin'."
"You always say that."
"What?"
"That everything you do isn't a big deal."
Michael looked at you. Because you both knew what you really meant. Stopping on the road. Giving you a place to sleep. Making you breakfast.
His expression softened.
"Y' would've done the same."
The certainty in his voice caught you off guard. You weren't sure you would have. Michael didn't seem to think kindness was something special. He just thought it was something people were supposed to give.
Dinner was quiet. Not uncomfortable or awkward. You both were just quieter than before.
There was a new kind of awareness sitting between you both, something neither of you had acknowledged out loud but both of you seemed to feel. The easy conversation from earlier was still there, the small smiles and little jokes, but now there was something underneath it.
You found yourself noticing things you hadn't beforeâ the way Michael's slender fingers curled around his fork, or the way his eyes would drift toward you before quickly finding somewhere else to look. And he wasn't the only one. Every time he adjusted the brim of his hat, every time his fingers brushed over it, you remembered the way it had felt in your hands. Warm from him. Carrying the faint scent of soap, leather, and the outdoors.
It was ridiculous how something so small had changed the atmosphere between you. But it had. Michael seemed to feel it too.
After dinner, the two of you moved into the living room, the sound of rain beginning softly against the windows. It had started while you'd been clearing the dishes, a gentle tapping that slowly grew heavier until it filled the entire house. Michael stood by the window for a while, looking out at the fields.
"You like storms?"
You sat on the couch, watching him.
"Sometimes."
He glanced over.
"Sometimes?"
You smiled.
"Depends where I am."
He nodded like he understood.
"Yeah. I guess it does."
The lights flickered once. Then again. Michael looked up.
"Well."
A second later, the whole house went dark. You both laughed quietly.
"That figures," you said.
Michael disappeared into the kitchen, returning with a few candles. The soft glow filled the room, making the farmhouse feel even older somehow. Warmer. You watched him set one down on the table.
It was strange.
A man you'd met yesterday.
A house you'd never seen before. And yet sitting there in the candlelight, listening to the rain, it felt familiar. Michael sat across from you, resting his forearms on his knees. For a while, neither of you spoke. It was the kind of silence that happened when two people were thinking the same thing but neither wanted to be the first to say it.
Your car would be fixed tomorrow. You would leave. And somehow, after only a day and a half, the thought felt heavier than it should have. You looked down at your hands.
"You know..."
Michael looked up.
"I thought I'd be counting down the hours until that car was fixed."
His expression shifted slightly. He glanced over.
"And now?"
The question was quiet and hung in the air You looked toward the rain-covered window. The fields beyond it were barely visible through the storm.
"Now I'm not so sure."
The silence that followed felt different. Just full.
Michael looked down at his hands, his thumb brushing slowly over one of the calluses along his palm. You noticed the small movement, the way he seemed to retreat into himself whenever something mattered too much. For a moment, he didn't say anything. Then his voice came quieter than before.
"Don't say things like that 'f y' don't mean 'em, suga'."
Your eyes moved back to him.
"Why?"
Michael swallowed. His gaze stayed fixed on his hands. Because he had been trying. God, he had been trying.
Trying not to read too much into the way you smiled at him. Trying not to remember the feeling of your fingers brushing his when you'd handed his hat back. Trying to forget how incredibly beautiful you looked yesterday, in your pretty black lace set.
"'cause..."
He stopped. The rain filled the silence for him. Then he looked up.
"'cause I've been trying real hard not to hope you might."
Your breath caught slightly. Michael immediately looked away, almost like he regretted letting the words escape.
"I know 's probably ridiculous."
"It's not."
His eyes returned to yours.
"You don't even know me." A small, smile touched his mouth. "And I don't know you. Not really...But I think I know enough."
He looked down again.
"Know 'nough t' know I like havin' y here."
Your throat went dry.
"I don't expect anything from you." He said it quickly, like he needed you to understand. "I mean that."
You nodded.
"I know."
"Your car gets fixed tomorrow, 'nd you go wherever y' headed."
You stood slowly. Michael looked up as you moved closer. Neither of you spoke again. The storm raged outside, but inside the farmhouse everything felt impossibly still.
"You know," you said softly, "for someone who says he's not hoping..." A tiny smile touched your lips. "You don't hide it very well."
Michael let out a quiet laugh, but it was nervous.
"No?"
"No."
You were close now. And still, he didn't move. He just looked at you. Waiting.
The candlelight flickered across his face, catching the slight tremor in his jaw. His hands stayed at his sides, fingers curling and uncurling like he was physically holding himself back. Waiting. Always waiting for you to decide.
You reached up.
Slowly.
Giving him every chance to move away.
His breath caught when your fingers brushed the brim of his hat. You didn't take it off. You just let your hand rest there, feeling the warmth of him beneath the shadow of it.
"Can I?" you whispered.
Michael's eyes searched yours.
He didn't ask what you meant.
He already knew.
"Yeah," he breathed, barely audible over the rain. "Suga', you can do whatever you want with me."
The words hit you low in the chest. You pushed the hat back off his head. It fell to the floor between you, forgotten. And then his hands were on you. Not gentle. Not careful.
His fingers curled into the fabric of your shirt at your waist and pulled, and you came against him with a soft gasp, your palms flat on his chest. He was warm. Solid. Real in a way the last two days hadn't quite felt.
"Michaelâ"
"I been wantin' to do this since you walked up my drive," he said, voice rough, eyes dark. "Since you stood in my kitchen smilin' at me like that. Y' such a pretty girl."
He ducked his head and kissed you. It was hungry.
His mouth slanted over yours, one hand sliding up to cup the back of your neck, tilting your head back. The other stayed at your waist, thumb pressing hard against your hip through the fabric. He kissed like a man who had spent too long holding back, like he'd been rationing this moment and had finally decided to spend it all at once.
You let out a soft sigh against his mouth. He swallowed it.
His tongue swept along your lower lip and you opened for him, and the groan that rumbled from his chest vibrated straight through you. He tasted like coffee and rain and something warm. His hand tightened in your hair, not pulling, just holding, like he was afraid you'd slip away if he loosened his grip.
The storm pressed against the windows. Neither of you heard it.
You broke apart only when you needed air, foreheads pressed together, both of you breathing hard. His thumb traced the line of your jaw, feather-light, and when he spoke his voice was wrecked.
"Told myself I wasn't gonna do that."
You laughed, breathless.
"Glad you lied."
He let out a shaky sound that might have been a laugh, might have been something else. His hand came up to cup your face, and he looked at you like you were the only warm thing in the storm. You pulled him back down.
The second kiss was slower. Deeper. His hands found the hem of your shirt and tugged it up, and you lifted your arms and let him peel it over your head, the fabric whispering past your skin, dragging over the curve of your breasts before it slid away.
He broke the kiss just long enough to look at youâ and the way his eyes went dark, the way they dropped to your chest and lingered, made your stomach tighten into a hot, wanting knot.
"Jesus," he breathed, and it came out wrecked, like he'd forgotten how to make a sound.
His thumb traced the curve of your breast through the lace of your bra, feather-light, almost reverent, like he was memorizing the weight of you in his hand. He cupped you, tested the give of you, and a low sound rumbled in his chest. Then he dipped his head and pressed his mouth to the hollow of your throat, tongue dragging over your pulse, and the sound you made wasn't one you planned. A soft, broken whimper.
"Michaelâ"
"Shh," he murmured against your skin, his hands sliding around your back to unhook your bra, his fingers working the clasp like he'd been dreaming of it. "Lemme take care of y', baby."
The clasp gave with a soft click. The straps slid down your shoulders, and he pulled the lace away and let it fall, and then his mouth was on you. Hot and open-mouthed, his tongue dragging flat across your nipple before he sucked it between his lips. Your fingers dug into his shoulders, your back arching into him, offering more, and he took it. He laved and sucked and bit down just enough to make you gasp, his hand cupping your other breast, thumb working the nipple into a tight, aching peak.
"That's it," he said against your skin, his voice low and rough and thick with wanting. "'s my good girl. God, y' have so pretty tits, honey baby. So soft."
He worked his way down your body, kissing a slow, deliberate trail down your sternum, your ribs, the soft swell of your belly. His mouth lingered on the curve of your hip, his teeth grazing the skin there, and his hands gripped you, fingers sinking into the skin of your hips, thumbs pressing into the jut of bone. He held you like you were something to be savored, not rushed. And when he sank to his knees on the floor in front of the couch, between your spread thighs, you knew exactly what was coming.
He looked up at you from between your legs, the candlelight catching the hunger in his eyes, and he was already breathing hard.
"Wanna taste y', suga'."
You didn't have words. You just nodded.
He hooked his fingers into the waistband of your jeans and pulled them down your legs, panties with them, slow and deliberate, dragging the denim over the curve of your ass and down your thighs. And the way he looked at you when you were bare, the way his gaze traveled the length of you, lingering on the soft roll of your hips, the plush of your thighsâ made your breath catch.
He pressed a kiss to the inside of your thigh. Then the other. Each one higher than the last, his mouth working closer and closer, until his breath ghosted hot and wet against your slick, so close you could feel the heat of him.
"Already this wet fo' me," he murmured, almost to himself, his voice filled with desire. "Look at ya', baby. Soaked. 'nd I ain't even touched y' yet."
And then his tongue dragged up the length of you, flat and slow, from your entrance all the way to your clit, and your hips bucked off the couch. "C'mon, angel, lemme get a taste o' this sweet lil' pussy..."
"Oh fuck!â"
He repeated the action.
He licked your cunt like he was starving, like he'd been thinking about this since the moment you walked up his drive, like he'd been starving for the taste of you for years. His tongue circled your clit, flicked, pressed flat and broad, and every time you gasped he'd groan against you like the sound drove him crazy. His hands gripped your thighs, almost with a bruising grip, spreading you wider, holding you open for him, and he buried his face in you like he wanted to drown in your juices.
"Taste like honey," he said against you, the words vibrating straight through your clit, making your whole body clench. "Sweetest thing I ever had, hunny. Could eat this pussy all goddamn night."
He sucked your clit into his mouth and you cried out, your hand flying down to tangle in his hair, gripping him there. He let you hold him, let you grind against his mouth, and he took itâ took all of itâ groaning like he wanted to live between your thighs. Two fingers pushed into your slickness then, curling, crooking against that spot that made your vision blur, and he pumped them slow while his tongue worked you in relentless circles.
"Please," you managed, your voice breaking. "Michael, pleaseâ"
"Please what, beautiful?"
"Want you. Wantâ" You couldn't finish. You couldn't think. How could someones mouth feel this fucking good?
He pulled back just enough to look at you, his mouth slick and shining with you, chin wet, eyes nearly black in the candlelight. He was wrecked. You'd wrecked him.
"Want what, suga'? Tell me. Talk t' me"
"Want you inside me."
A slow, teasing smile spread across his face, and his fingers curled deeper inside you, making you moan.
"You'll get it. But I want y' t' come on my tongue first." He lowered his head again, his breath hot against your soaked pussy. "Want t' feel it, sweet girl. Want y' t' soak my face. Drown me in it."
He went back to work, and this time he didn't let up. His fingers fucked you in a steady, curling rhythm while his mouth worked your clit, and the pressure built and built until you were shaking, your thighs trembling around his head, your whole body drawn tight as a wire. And he felt it. He felt every shudder, every clench; and he groaned against you like it was killing him.
"Thaaat's it," he said, his voice muffled against you, his fingers never stopping. "Come fo' me, pretty baby. Come on my tongue. Soak me."
And you did. It hit you like the storm outside, white-hot and blinding, your whole body bowing off the couch as you cried out his name. He lapped you through it, slow and greedy, drinking every drop, not stopping until you were twitching and oversensitive and gasping for air, until you had to push weakly at his head.
He kissed his way back up your body, slow and deliberate, dragging his slick mouth over your belly, your breasts, your throat. And when he kissed you, you could taste yourself on his tongue, salty and sweet. He was hard against your hip, straining through his jeans, thick and insistent, and you reached for him.
"My turn."
He caught your wrist.
"Not yet, sweet baby." His voice was wrecked, barely holding together, shaking at the edges. "Want y' t' come on my dick. Want t' feel that pretty little pussy squeeze me while y' fall apart."
The words went straight through you, hot and liquid, pooling low in your belly.
He stood, shucked off his shirt, and worked open his belt, the leather sliding through the loops. His jeans came down, and when he stepped out of them you got your first look at him â thick and hard and leaking, the head flushed and slick, his hand wrapped around the base. He was beautiful. He was everything.
"See what y' do t' me, suga'?" He stroked himself slowly, his jaw tight, his knuckles dragging up the length of him. "Been hard since y' stood in my kitchen. Been thinkin' about this sweet ass of yours all goddamn day." His vulgar words and confident tone shocked you. Was this really the shy boy from the barn you thought you knew? But you didn't mind. Not at all.
He climbed onto the couch, settling back against the armrest, and reached for you, his hands finding your hips and pulling you toward him.
"Come here, honey baby."
You straddled him. His hands found your hips, thumbs stroking the soft skin and he looked up at you with something raw and unguarded in his eyes, something that made your chest ache.
"You sure?"
"Michael." You reached down and wrapped your hand around him, and his breath hissed through his teeth, his eyes fluttering shut. "I've never been more sure of anything."
He guided you up, the head of his cock pressing against your slick, wet heat, and then he looked at you, one last question in his eyes. You answered by sinking down.
The two of you groaned together as he filled you, inch by inch, the stretch of him making your eyes roll back. He was so thick, so warm, and you felt impossibly, perfectly full. His cock splitting you open, seating deep inside you until you were flush against him, his hips against yours, his balls pressed to your ass.
"God," he breathed, his head falling back against the couch, his hands gripping your hips hard enough to leave marks. "Feel that, sweet girl? Feel how good y' take me? Ohhh, look at ya. All that soft ass, all that curve, sittin' on my cock like y' were made for it."
His words made you whimper. You rolled your hips, experimental, grinding down on him, and his hands clenched on your waist, a low groan tearing out of him.
"'s it. Ride me, baby. Fuck yourself on my cock."
You found your rhythm slowly, then faster, your hands braced on his chest, your tits bouncing in his face with every stroke. He watched you with dark, hungry eyes, his gaze dropping to your breasts, to the way they moved, and he reached up and cupped them, thumbing your nipples, groaning.
"Lord, y' so beautiful," he said, his voice rough and reverent. "Look at these perfect tits. Takin' all o' me. Squeezin' me so damn good."
You leaned forward and kissed him, sloppy and open-mouthed, and he groaned into it, his tongue tangling with yours. "Mmmm, Mikey... Y' feel soo good." You mumbled messily against his mouth. "Yeah? 'm fucki' you good, baby?" A little 'mhm!' sound left your lips.
His hands slid down to grip your ass, squeezing hard, kneading the soft flesh, guiding your pace as you rode him.
"My perfect, beautiful girl..."
You rode him harder, the sound of skin against skin filling the room, wet and obscene, and he let you take what you needed. But then his hands tightened on your hips, and he stilled you.
"Turn around, sweetheart."
You blinked, breathless.
"want to watch that ass bounce on my cock. Want to watch it swallow me up."
He helped you lift off him, the sudden loss of him making you whimper, and then he guided you to turn around, your back to his chest. He pulled you down onto him again, and you both groaned as he filled you from behind, his cock sliding back into you to the hilt.
"Jesus," he breathed against your ear, his hands already gripping your hips. "Feel even better this way, beautiful. Look at that pretty ass..."
You rode him reverse, his hands gripping your hips, his mouth on your shoulder, your neck, kissing down your spine while you moved. The angle made his cock drag against a spot that made your thighs shake, made you gasp and grind down harder. "Shitâ y' so deep in me, Mikeyâ"
And then his hands movedâ one sliding up your back, the other reaching down to grip your ass, and then he spread you. He spread you open with his thumbs, pulling the cheeks apart, and you felt the cool air on your slick, wet flesh, felt him watching you â watching himself slide in and out of you. He groaned, a sound so raw it vibrated through your whole body.
"Ohh," he breathed, his voice wrecked with wonder. "Look at that. Look at my cock goin' in 'nd out o' ya. 'nd lookâ" His thumb traced the base of him where he was buried inside you, and you felt the creamy ring that had formed there, the mess of you and him slicking his skin. "Look at that, sweet girl. Look at all that cream. 's aaaall you, baby. That's how wet this pussy 's fo' me. How bad you want it."
You whimpered, grinding down on him, and he let you feel him watching, his eyes burning into the place where you were joined.
"Right there," you gasped. "Don't stop."
"Not stoppin', sweet girl. Not 'till y' come on my dick."
His hand slid around to your front, fingers finding your clit, slick and swollen, and you cried out. He worked you in tight circles while you rode him, his other arm banded across your chest, holding you against him, his cock buried deep inside you.
"'s it, sweetheart. Feel that? Feel how deep I am? Feel how good I fill ya up?"
"Yesâ"
"Y' gonna come fo' me? Gonna soak my dick like a good girl? Gonna cream aaall over me?"
"Yes, Michael, yes!â"
"Come on, pretty baby. Let go. Come all over me. Make a mess."
You shattered.
Your body clenched around him, wave after wave, your pussy milking him, and he groaned through it, his hips bucking up into you, driving deeper.
"Thaaaat's it. Fuck, feel you squeezin' me."
He didn't let you stop. He shifted beneath you, and before you could catch your breath he was lifting you off him, pressing you down onto the couch on your hands and knees, your ass up, your spine arching.
"Flat, baby," he said, his voice soft but commanding. "Arch that pretty back fo' me. Push that pretty ass up."
You obeyed. His hands spread your thighs wider, and you felt the head of his cock press against you, slick with you and him, the mess of your cream coating his skin.
"Messy girl," he breathed, his hands gripping the soft flesh of your cheeks, squeezing, spreading. "So messy, sweet girl. So perfect. Love this perfect body o' yours."
He pushed in. Slow. Inch by inch, until he was buried to the hilt, and then he stilled, both of you breathing hard, his balls pressed against your wet flesh.
"You feel that, hunny? Feel how deep I am?"
"Yes," you whimpered.
He pulled out almost all the way, so slowly you felt every inch of him dragging against your walls, and then he slammed back in, and you cried out, your fingers clawing at the cushion.
"That's it," he growled. "Take it, baby. Take all of me."
He set a brutal pace, deep and hard, his hands gripping your hips hard enough to bruise, and the sound of it filled the roomâ the wet slap of his hips against your ass, the slick sound of him driving into your soaked cunt, the heavy, obscene slap of his balls against your flesh with every thrust. The couch creaked beneath you, the rain hammered the windows, and your moans mixed with his grunts, a filthy, perfect rhythm.
"You feel so good," he said, his voice wrecked, barely holding together. "So wet, baby. Squeezin' me like y' never wanna let go." Then he slapped your ass, a sharp, wet crack that made you gasp. "Love watchin' it bounce. Love the way it takes me."
He leaned over you, his chest pressed to your back, his mouth at your ear, his breath hot and ragged.
"That feel good, beautiful?"
"Yesâ"
"Say it, sweet girl. Tell me how good it feels."
"So good," you gasped. "Mikey, y' feel so goodâ"
"Mhm," he groaned. "Feels so good."
He drove into you harder, faster, his hand sliding around to grip your throat â not squeezing, just holding, tilting your head back against his shoulder. His other hand found your clit again, working you in tight, relentless circles, and you were already so close, the pressure coiling tight and hot in your belly.
"Y' mine tonight, angel. All mine. Gonna come again, sweet girl? Gonna come on my cock again?"
"Mhm!â"
"Come on, then. Come on me. Let me feel it. Soak me, baby."
You came with a cry, your body clenching around him so hard he groaned and drove into you through it, his hips stuttering, chasing his own release.
"Just like that," he said, his voice shaking, wrecked. "Ohh, that's my good girl. That's my beautifulâ"
He buried himself deep and came with a shudder, his hips grinding against you, a groan torn from his throat as he filled you, hot and pulsing, spilling deep inside you. You felt every pulse of him, felt him empty into you, and you collapsed together onto the couch, both of you breathing hard, slick with sweat and each other.
He pulled out slowly, and you felt the mess of him and you slide down your thigh, warm and wet. He kissed the back of your neck, soft and tender, his hand stroking the curve of your hip.
"Y' so beautiful, baby," he murmured against your skin. "'m gonna take good care of you..."
Summary: Michael plays with his life even after you told him no. Now, itâs time for him to reap the consequences.
Era/Pair: History/Mature Era!Michael x CulturalAnthropologyPh.Dstudent!Reader
Tags/Warning: Extreme sub!Michael, use of collars and binding, minor talk of chronically ill Michael, use of mama, Michael is in sub space at the end of this, SEMI GRAPHIC SMUT!
Notes: I didnât explicitly say it but I did have my chubby baby Michael in mind while writing this~
You and Michael have been dating for a few months now. You're both still learning each other's preferences and boundaries. You were a simple girl when it came to relationships; as long as Michael communicated and walked you through his process, you tolerated a great deal.
So when he told you that he felt as though his body was ready to create again officially, you were more than excited. You went into full girlfriend mode by making sure he was fed and hydrated, making sure that he was covered in affirmations and praises before he even left the house, and, of course, making sure that he knew how much you valued his sacrifices.
It was a blast to see him eclipse into the King of Pop, Rock, and Soul even if he came home unable to speak and clearly overstimulated. Your patience was endless, but you still had limits.
So when it came time for Michael to shoot a short film for a melody for his songs and Michael began telling you his and the director's vision, you immediately shut it down.
ââŠand then Iâll be lifted and propelled over the room as though Iâm flying.â Michael bounced around in front of the kitchen counter. âThey have these new lines that look invisible. Itâll be so hot!â Michaelâs face flushed as his hands flew around to give you a visualization of the set.
âAbsolutely not.â You said, your tone final but gentle. âWhat are the safety measures?â
He froze, then scratched the back of his head. A tell that youâve grown quite used to.
âThat right thereâŠâ You pointed a finger at his hand, which only made him stand straight up as if he was in the military, âis why Iâm saying no. Itâs dangerous, and you do not need injuries anymore. You are prone to them, Bambi.â
âBut itâs my film.â He started, looking every bit of sweet with his eyes widened. âItâll be so fresh an-and itâll be fun.â
âI will not allow this to happen, Michael. This is dangerous.â You voice your concerns as you move around the island and head to the family room. He grabs your wrist before you leave, turns you around, and pulls you to his chest. Michael leaves a series of butterfly kisses up and down your neck, nuzzling it enough that a giggle leaves your lips.
âI want to do this, please.â He whined, âI know youâre worried, but this would be so fun and so new. No one has ever thought of this before. It would be revolutionary.â
âMichael Jackson and Friends. You remember that?â
Michael groaned, throwing his head back, but you continued, âYou remember when you were performing âEarth Songâ?â
Your hand comes up to pat his curls, smiling as he snuggled into you as though he wants to squeeze into your skin. âYou told me about how safe it was, and now you tested it a thousand times. Michael, darling, the result of that fall is that now we have to take baths together to ease the pain in your back. You are in your 40s now; I would appreciate it if I got my baby boy back in one piece.â
Michael whined, âI thought you liked our baths together. I didnât know you hated me.â
Another laugh echoed in the room at the pout in his voice. The hug seemed to get tighter as Michael began rocking your bodies back and forth. âBambi, stop playing with me. You know I love you, but I will not allow you to put yourself in any more danger.â
Michael moved away quickly, searching your eyes for a leeway. When he found nothing, he scoffed like a teenager and rolled his big eyes, âFine. Iâll be good, but Iâm not going to be happy about it.â
That discussion seemed to end that night.
Michael remained as goofy and adorable as usual. His energy fluctuated from high in the mornings to low when he came home, which was normal as he survived the grilling from the rehearsals. The most important thing was that Michael seemed to be having fun. After he showered, he would lie on your chest talking about the new ideas he and his team would bounce off each other. These talks of his excitement and his frustrations seemed to slow down as the night went on until he would eventually fall asleep mumbling in the rhythm of your heartbeat.
When he was off doing work, you were doing your own studies. Finishing your Ph.D in Cultural Anthropology, you were going over the forensics of a ceramic vase that you helped discover. Your field is how you met Michael. You were shadowing a museum curator when a special guest arrived; it felt unreal watching Michael Jackson ask the head curator insightful questions that showed that he was clearly well-read. His eyes stayed on you as though you were a part of the museum and his intellect had you wrapped in his aura.
With a quick sleight of hand, Michael had your number before he even walked out the door. Itâs been three years since then, and while there were a lot of ups and downs, you were happy. You both were truly happy.
You were deep into the research and going over your thesis when the phone interrupted the flow of your concentration. You knew it was something bad when you could hear a nervous Michael on the end of the line.
âH-heyyy, mama. Are you busy?â
You narrowed your eyes at the papers on your desk, already sensing that he had done something. âWhere are you?â
Michael seemed to be shifting because you heard ruffling on the other end. âI canât just call my beautiful girlfriend?â
âMichael,â you say sternly.
âIâm in the hospital,â he sighed. âI fell.â
âAre you hurt?â
The line went out a bit before his soft voice came back with a quiet, âUhâŠ. Yeah.â
After Michael told you where he was, you hung up in his face and made your way to one of the drivers. It was in no time that you arrived at the hospital, only to find Michaelâs room and see that he had a cast that ran from his right hand down to his elbow.
The look on your face mustâve been enough to warn him as he gave you a weak smile. The look that grew darker when he said, âItâs honestly not that bad.â
Ignoring his terrible way of placating you, you turned to his assistant and bodyguard with one statement, âTell me what happened, quickly, and donât you dare look at him.â
Both of the grown men sway on their feet. Not breaking the stare, you only had to wait for a minute before one of them cracked. In one breath, Michaelâs bodyguard spoke, âWell, we were testing the flying wires, and when Michael was lowered, it was too fast, so he crash-landed on a giant pad. He broke his arm because he was trying to catch himself.â
Michael took this time to pull the covers over his head. He knew that he was in trouble. That didnât stop the excitement that was pooling in his stomach once he saw how angry you were.
This feeling was quickly diminished when you both came home. Itâs been days, and yet, you werenât willing to speak to him unless it was time for him to eat and take his pain meds. Itâs been a week since youâve called him any pet names. Now, it was âMichael, thisâŠâ or âMichael, thatâŠâ and he hates it!
Heâs tried everything to get your attention, from gifts to being cute, to looking at you with a pout that he knows usually works; so far, all heâs gotten was a scoff as you left the room.
It wasnât until a month of trying that he finally pulled out the works. He had spotted you in the living room watching some cooking show that he found boring. He moved quickly until he was blocking your view and then lowered slowly onto his knees.
âMichael, what are you doing?â You asked, sitting up.
Michael lowered his head; his long lashes kissed his cheeks as he closed his eyes. His stray hair moved over his forehead as he moved his hands behind his back, the cart making the movement less graceful than heâs used to. This position always made him look beautiful, his posture impeccable, though it was clear that he was relaxed.
It was a silent offer that you couldnât refuse. You moved to spread your legs on each side of his body. âWhat punishment do you think you deserve?â
His mouth opened and closed, but his eyes flickered to your face before he settled on the floor, and you thought that was the most perfect answer he could have given you. It showed that he knew it wouldnât matter and he still decided to trust you. It was a great gift, one that you would never abuse.
You stood up, pointing to the couch, âLay down, ups together and up.â You walked to your room, not even turning back to check if he followed your instructions; Michael knew what to do, and he was perfect at following instructions when it came to this part of your lifestyle.
You grabbed one of the thin belts that he used for his âBadâ short film and his deep red collar, then walked back out of the family room and secured his upper arms together, being careful not to hurt his casted arm. âI really do not like for you to ignore my concerns. I love you, Michael, and when I tell you âno,â itâs mainly because of your safety. Can you imagine how scared I was when I got the call that you were in the hospital?â
Michael kept quiet, but his sad eyes told you that you understood how dire this was to you. Moving to straddle his thighs, you place the collar around his neck and secure it, the effects immediate as his body sank into the cushions.
âThere you go,â you say, smoothing a hand down his cheek to tug on the ring that sits in the front of the collar, âJust relax, youâre going to be here quite a while with what I have in mind.â
Moving a hand to Michael's chest, you begin to move your hips, your body always responding to the position Michael was in. A low groan filled the air as the friction began to work. His dick was getting hard, and the more you rocked, the more restless he became. Once Michael was fully hard, you kissed down his neck, focusing on the spot just behind his ear.
âFeels good, doesnât it?â
Michael nodded, but a pull on his choker reminded him of the rules. âLet me hear that pretty voice.â
âIt feels good.â He rushed out, already sounding breathless.
Sweat began to bead on his forehead. His hips pushed up to get more friction, and when he saw that you were allowing it, his hips bucked hard enough that you could feel him through your shorts.
Michaelâs body twitched under you, his breath picking up in a way that made you know that he was close. When you heard the sound of Michaelâs breath hitch, you stopped, sitting heavy on him so that your body would force him still.
âThatâs one.â You said.
His thick eyebrows furrowed as he looked up at you in disbelief.
âWhat?â His whispered. âNo, no, that canât be. Let me finish, mama please.â
The desperation in his voice almost made you cave so you chose not to answer back. You instead moved off of him and stood on the side of the couch watching him as you slowly removed your clothes. His eyes sharpened as he took in your body, but that look disappeared when you began to pull down his pants and underwear, leaving them in a pile on top of your clothes.
A grin was on your lips when you saw how desperate his dick looked. Hard, red, leaking, and the twitch it gave made your own cunt pulse. He was so big and yet so pretty that it was only natural that you made him feel as ruffled as you felt.
Crawling between his legs, you kissed the space between his hip and his thigh in thanks as he made room for you. Your tongue soon followed the stream of his pre cum. Michael's hiss turned into a loud moan as you sucked in the head of his dick; your hand closed around his shaft as you took your time moving him deeper into your throat. The harder you sucked, the more you saw his stomach clench and the more of that salty taste filled your mouth.
Michael moved his tied arms to place his hands on the back of your head. You got comfortable and relaxed your throat enough that he could use you. Your tongue moved with his movements, making the scene dirtier than usual. Licking the sensitive underside, your eyes moved up his body to see that Michael was already looking at you. His eyes were wild as they shifted from your eyes to your mouth. Michael held nothing back as his hands fisted into your hair. Spit gathered on the sides of your mouth and dropped down his length. The messier you were, the more frantic his thrust. It wasnât long before he had all nine inches down your throat, huffing as he saw your eyes mist up as you swallowed around him.
âMama,â he whined, âIâm close. Please, please.â
A high, muffled sound filled the air when you hummed with him deep in your throat and removed his hands from your head. Slowly letting his dick leave your mouth, you deliver a final hard suck. Placing kitty licks and kisses all around his length, you ignored his pleas as they got louder.
âNo no no no no no⊠I need to cum. I was so close,â his whiny voice dissolved into sobs. His big brown eyes were blurred, his eyelashes stuck together with tears.
Wiping the tears from his cheeks, you shush him gently, âBaby boy, thereâs no need for tears.â
He nods as his breath hiccups, âYes, mama.â
Those were Michaelâs last words before you lowered yourself down onto his dick. The stretch was something that your body never got used to, but the sensual sounds Michael made and his effort to be a good boy made it easy for you to orgasm as soon as you had all nine inches in your cunt. Michael gripped the side of the couch, the veins in his neck popping out as he struggled to hold off his own orgasm.
You spent the next hour using your body to build Michael up and snatch it away from him. By the time you allowed Michael to reach his peak, which triggered yours, Michael was a mess of tears and drool. His hips lifted from the couch as he came so much that it spilled down your thighs. Coming down from your high, you scrunched your eyebrows as you felt how much Michael was shaking. His sobs left his body heaving as he took in gasps of air.
Pulling yourself off of Michael, mindful of his whines. You reached for his arms and untied him, massaging his arms and leaving small kisses over the red markings, meeting his glassy eyes. When you reached for his collar, Michaelâs eyes teared up enough for you to place more kisses, this time all over his face, reassuring him.
Ignoring the mess you two had made, you pushed Michael to the side so that you could lie down and pull Michaelâs head to rest on your chest. Michael moved up slowly, slipping on your slick skin, to push his nose into your neck. His trembling hands wrapped around your waist, settling on top of you as your hands smoothed his overheated skin. You spoke of nothing for affirmation, telling him how good he was and how proud you were that he took his punishment so well. Eventually heâd relaxed into your skin, his breath evened out enough for you to know that he was listening. It was about thirty minutes that you both lay there; youâd never stopped talking and touching on Michael, but you knew that it was time to get cleaned up.
You tapped Michaelâs arm lightly, and he moved to stand, his legs still shaking. Michael reached for your hand immediately, unwilling to be without your touch. He followed you to the kitchen like a lost puppy, his mind still foggy but his heart and body satisfied. He was no longer in limbo with you, and that was all that mattered to him. The coolness of the water you fed him was enough to shock his mind, but he fought it, wanting to stay in that floaty state of mind.
He drifted more as he followed you around the bathroom as you drew up a bath, added his Epsom salt and his favorite lavender scent, and lit some candles after checking the temperature and making sure that the towels in the towel heater were warm; you double-checked that Michaelâs cast was wrapped tight enough that water couldnât get in. Michael wasted no time getting into the tub and pulling you in after him to sit between his legs.
There was a good moment of silence as Michael took the time to feel your body against his. His breaths were in sync with yours.
After a moment, you broke the silence.
âWe both needed this. This punishment was more of a reminder for both of us.â You sighed, running a gentle hand through the side of his curls, careful not to touch the top of his head. âI was scared for you, Michael. I almost lost you more than once, and weâve only been together for less than a year! Please spare my heart, baby boy. I was so upset that you let go of your own wellbeing; you didnât even think once of me. On top of that, you lied! We both needed that session. I needed to remind myself that you were okay and you needed to remember that we are in a relationship.â
âI'm sorry, mama. I just wanted to be good. I know I shouldâve listened, but I was just so excitedâŠâMichaelâs voice rang in your ear, the sound croaky but still musical, â I was so scared, you know? I thought that fall would be the end of me and all I could think of was you getting that life-changing call.â Michaelâs tears ran down your neck as he sniffed to try and stop them from coming, âIâm sorry. It wonât happen again, mama.â
You leaned into his touch, laying your head on his shoulder and petting the unhurt arm that tightened around your waist. âStop crying, baby, youâve already cried enough today. But Iâm glad youâve learned your lesson somewhat, because next time I wonât be so nice.â
A shiver ran through Michaelâs body. He wondered when it would be too soon to try and see if your threat would hold, but that was a thought for another day.
