Scaramouche x sub!female reader. Smut. Fingering. Squirting. Degradation. Edging. Overstimulation. A mirror is involved. Porn without plot. Fingersucking. Praise.
Happy Kentucky Derby Day, everyone. Thank you so much for almost 2k the follows.
"Hey, are you awake, slut?" You felt a harsh smack against against your clit. You choked out a sob of pleasure, tears stinging in your eyes as your hips bucked up into Scaramouche's fingers.
"Good girl," He purred, giving your throbbing, swollen clit a harsh pinch of approval, rolling it between his thumb and index finger before pushing his fingers back inside of you.
You'd been spread bare in front of a mirror in his office, straddling one of his thighs, his fingers squelching wetly in and of your cunt, using it like a plaything for this own amusement. He was enjoying seeing your fucked out expression in the mirror, desperately bucking your hips up in his fingers, making the chair as you writhed.
His fingers kissed your sweet spot over and over, making your walls clamp around his fingers, only for him to laugh as he pulled his fingers out of you for what felt like uptenth time, denying you the release you'd been desperate for.
His cock hardened at the way your face crumbled in the reflection of the mirror, relishing how desperate your whines sounded, leaving the tips of his fingers inside of you just to feel your walls clamping nothing.
"The look on your face was priceless. You really though I was going to let you come all over my fingers this time, didn't you? What a dumb slut you are," Scaramouche laughed, giving your clit an amused flick. "Now, tell your Master how much you want his fingers stuffing you full. I may add a third one if you cry loud enough," He taunted.
When you could only stammer out a few incoherent words, he growled, growing frustrated. "Start talking, whore!" He growled, smacking your clit again, "I didn't stutter, did I? Tell me," He pushed his fingers inside of you again, dragging them across your clit, making you see stars. "How much you want my fingers fucking your greedy little cunt raw."
Scaramouche's fingers pinched your nipples, making you mewl in pleasure. "Please, please, I can hardly stand it anymore!" You pleaded between broken sobs of pleasure, "I need to come all over your fingers! I crave it!"
He groaned, grinding his cock against your thigh as you writhed. Keeping you anchored against his chest, he fingered you, pinching your clit, coaxing more of your slick to froth between your legs to drip down his wrist. "What a whore, a total cum slut," Scaramouche moaned huskily, the pace of his fingers relentless, "the harder I fuck my fingers into you, the wetter you get. The more pathetic you sound. I can't get enough of it."
His fingers finally nudged just right against your sweet spot, making you squirt on his fingers. You were breathless and panting, drool pouring from your mouth, your body twitching from overstimulation.
Grabbing a handful of your hair, Scaramouche yanked your head back, his fingertips bruising against your inner thigh as he held one of your legs open. "Squirt for me again like the obedient whore I know you are."
Adding a third finger, he continued to abuse your hole, scissoring your walls apart. He let go of your hair to pinch and rub your clit, making it throb and twitch between his fingers. You could do nothing but express how good he was making you feel with moans and screams of pleasure, babbling about you wanted him to fuck you raw.
Scaramouche fingered you harder to hear more, precum beginning to stick to your thigh as he rubbed his cock against it, grunting with lust and the effort he was going to to make you fall apart for him.
Giving your clit one more harsh pinch, he laughed when you squirted on his fingers again, pulling them out of you to push them into your mouth, making you gag as he pumped them in and out. You moaned happily, curling your tongue around them, sucking them into your mouth.
"What a good, slutty kitten I have," Scaramouche purred, enjoying the way you drooled, gurgling happily on his fingers. "You better be ready to wrap your pretty mouth around my cock. I'll be fucking my cum down your throat, using your mouth to get off before I bend you over my desk and fuck you raw."
Pulling his fingers from your mouth with a wet pop, he pushed you unceremoniously off his lap and onto the floor. Grabbing your hair again, he forced his cock into your mouth. "Open up and suck, slut."

Photo
This is an original 1935 photo of stablemates Omaha (on the outside) and Sir Beverley (on the inside) training at Aqueduct for the Kentucky Derby.
American racing is enamored of sprinters and track records. Perhaps it is because most of American racing is dirt oriented where you can harrow and roll the track so it easily resembles cement with a thin layer of sand thrown on it. Maybe it is something in the American character that loves speed in all its manifestations.
Whatever the reason, Omaha and American racing were out of sync. Certainly Omaha was successful on the track in the States, but he wasn’t truly appreciated for his talents. It would take a four year season in England to do just that.
Omaha was a tall, just shy of 17 hands and tipping the scales at 1,300 lbs. chestnut colt with a striking white blaze. He was large in every sense of the word and wherever he was stabled, he required that the partition be removed between two stalls so that one roomy stall could be created for him. Unlike his famous sire, Gallant Fox, whose indolent nature was well known, Omaha enjoyed running.
But he had one idiosyncrasy that was known to only a handful of people. If another horse bumped him, he would turn quickly and savage the other runner. This explained why his regular rider, Willie Saunders, took him very wide and around horses in most of his races.

Summary: A hot tip turns into a hot night.
Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V
Characters: William Butcher x unnamed female x Soldier Boy
Tags/warnings: explicit, mfm threesome, Dom/sub, rough sex, slapping, name calling, sex with murderous misogynists
Words: 1700
Author's notes: for @glassjacket and @brrose-apothecary Thanks for the read-through and green light, Bri. <3
Gonzo journalism is an energetic first-person participatory writing style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story using the first-person narrative, and it draws its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire. The word gonzo is believed to have been first used in 1970 to describe an article about the Kentucky Derby by Hunter S. Thompson, who popularized the style.
Three days ago, I received a tip that former British special forces member, CIA agent, and now, vigilante, William Butcher, traveled to Russia to obtain a secret weapon to take down the megalomaniac superhero Homelander. Within an hour, I was on a plane to JFK. Just as the A320 touched the ground, an explosion rocked Midtown, killing 19 people. My source wasted no time looping me in with video footage of the cause of the explosion.
...and I didn’t believe my eyes.
“Holy-” I breathed, weaving through the other passengers to quicken my steps toward ground transportation. I ordered an Uber then watched the footage on a loop until it arrived. As my driver pulled up, I received a text message from my source.
“Weapon’s not so much a what but a who, love.”
“So I see.”
“You here?”
“On my way to ground zero, got anything else for me?”
“Will have after tonight.”
“What’s tonight?”
“I’ll let you know when I do.”
He kept his word — called me mere moments after America’s first hero incinerated the woman he claimed to have once loved in a flash of radioactivity.
Now, these two hypermasculine assholes are half in the bag and toe-to-toe in the middle of a cheap ass motel room, arguing about who can make me come faster/harder/longer. How I got into this particular situation is simple; waiting for intel in a non-air-conditioned room, got bored, hair up, whiskey, poker, sweat, partial nudity.
What’re you gonna do?
“Show me, then, you limey cock. She’s right fucking there.” Soldier Boy motions to me before pausing his challenge to an x-rated duel long enough to drag his hot gaze across my damp, salty skin and down over my semi-clothed form. “Or do you need me to show you what a real man can do.”
Each of their gazes are dark in their own way. Butcher’s is nothing but devilish chaos backed by a dramatic, velvet curtain hiding the truth, and Soldier Boy’s is full of secrets, barely repressed rage, and hunger.
“She already knows I’m good fer it. Don’tcha, love?” Butcher smirks.
I draw a deep breath then casually shrug my shoulders. I happen to know from experience that Butcher is very good for it and judging by the non-V-generated power rolling off the superhero, I could be making this much harder on myself than I need to.
That said, I have an unfortunate weakness for big, shit-talking, beautiful men. It’s even better when they’re absolute pricks and no danger of taking them home to mama.
Butcher looks slightly crestfallen until I toss him a mock-pout and a wink. This is always what we do, anyway. We stay on the outside and keep our distance. Come to think of it, I probably have an equally dramatic curtain behind my own eyes. I suppose I should examine that sometime. After the mind-blowing fuck session I’m about to have.
The supe chuckles as he turns to saunter toward me. “We can take turns, give her a little score card,” he says, coming to a stop in front of me.
I’m sitting on the foot of the bed, leaning back on my elbows, legs crossed like I’m fucking demure. He smirks down at me with hard, dark eyes as he slides a hand between his legs to cup himself over the stiff material of his suit pants.
“You look a little mean,” I tell him, and his smirk spreads to a grin that doesn’t meet his eyes.
“You like that.” He licks his teeth before pulling his bottom lip between them. “Wet as a whore on payday sittin’ in this filthy motel room with me and him, huh.”
Butcher appears behind him, looming, his thin, damp beater clings to his skin in a pleasing way.
I suppose I should be concerned for my well-being, but mostly, I’m wet just like Soldier Boy said. So I let myself go until I’m on my back, uncross my legs and drop my bare feet to either side of his boots.
When Butcher moves from beyond him, Soldier Boy extends an arm to halt him. “Rules,” he grunts. “I’m in charge. Anything goes unless someone safewords. Crimson is the word.”
Butcher chuckles at that. “We’re not looking to be deep-fried in here if that name sets you off.”
“Fuck you. Get her panties off.” The supe crosses the room, removing his undershirt and boots.
Butcher kneels at my feet and lifts them to the mattress, so I follow his lead and cant my hips to give him access to my underwear. He looks up at me. “Y’sure ‘bout this?” he asks warily, as he drags the ruined cotton over my hips and knees, and I nod.
Butcher can actually be thoughtful on occasion. But we had an agreement.
“Safeword. Did you not hear that part?” Soldier Boy struts back to the bed, stroking his already hard cock.
“Jesus,” I breathe, and the fucker smirks again.
America’s first hero, for all his terribly deep and disturbing flaws, is easily the most gorgeous man I have ever seen naked. My mouth waters at the sight of his thick, heavy-looking cock, slipping through his meaty hand.
“USDA prime, sugar, and you got the best seat in the house.” He nudges Butcher out of the way much more gently than I would have expected. “So sit up and open your fucking mouth.”
Butcher peels his shirt off and shucks his pants to the floor before moving onto the bed as I obey the soldier’s uncompromising order. “She does like suckin’ cock, mouth like a fucken whirlpool.” Butcher settles behind me and brushes his lips across my exposed neck.
I swallow the drool in my mouth and reach for the beautiful bounty in front of me, and Soldier Boy shakes his head.
“Get her arms,” he tells Butcher, holding my eyes with his.
Butcher obliges, looping one forearm through my elbows behind my back and pressing me forward as his free hand works its way between my legs. “So wet already, love.”
“You know how long it’s been since I’ve had access to a warm, wet mouth?” The recently escaped man’s brow is furrowed, and his eyes lose their sharp focus as he slides his fingers into the twisted mess of a bun at the back of my head, angling my face the way he wants it. “And this mouth.”
He grips my chin with his other hand, and I let my jaw drop open. “This fucking mouth,” he mutters.
I close my eyes as his hot, salty cock slides over my tongue. He slides his hand from my chin to the other side of my head to mirror his other, holding me in place as he sets a rhythm.
“Good?” Butcher whispers, and I hum an affirmation. He’s sliding one long, thick finger around my clit so gently and thoroughly that I’m right at the edge of falling.
“Relax,” Soldier Boy grunts, swiping his thumbs over my hollowed cheeks. “I don’t need you choking out so soon.”
It’s hard to relax when I’ve got the fat cock of a superhero bumping against my uvula, and the thick knuckles of a thug slipping around my cunt. I’m hot and overstimulated and I’m about to come undone.
“‘Member that night in Chelsea? At your sister’s flat?” Butcher murmurs in my ear, sliding his slippery hand up under my tank top as he looks up at the other man. “Let’s get ‘er on ‘er back, mate.”
“Making it easy on her,” Soldier Boy scoffs as he pulls out of my mouth to spin and drag me to the side of the bed. He dips in for a punishing kiss with teeth and tongue before pushing me down to hang my head over the side of the bed. “She doesn’t get to come ‘til I do, and neither do you.”
Butcher nods with that edged grin as he slowly works his way between my thighs. “Well, ain’t that shite, sweetheart?” He settles his bare chest to the bed and shoves my legs open wide. “We got us a multiple-orgasmer ‘ere, wif little to no self-control.”
Soldier Boy chuckles as he straddles my face and reaches to tear my top in half.
“Fucker,” I swear at Butcher.
“Well, you better get some control quick because I don’t like to be disappointed.” He grips one of my breasts tight and mouths at the other, mumbling orders around my flesh. “Put me back in your mouth.”
I relax my throat and take a deep breath as I wrap one hand around his hard cock. My heart pounds in my chest and I moan, tasting him again. He’s so heavy and smooth. Did he get waxed between international imprisonment and mass murder?
Whatever.
He doesn’t waste a second working his way down my open throat. Butcher’s doing that thing he does with his tongue that makes me come every time within seconds. It takes me three deep inhales through my nose and concentrating on the feel of the gorgeous dick snaking my esophagus to realize that Butcher, a classic switch, wants to see how a man like Soldier Boy handles being defied.
Butcher also knows that I love being punished.
So I let go. I throw my arms wide and arch into Soldier Boy’s teeth and rough fingers on my nipples. I grind into Butcher’s face and feel his chuckle rumbling in my core.
Butcher grips my hips and bears down.
“You son of a bitch...” the supe breathes a lush sneer, his breath over my wet flesh making me shiver as his fucking into my throat makes me gag. “You want her to come, don’t you? Want the slut to get what she deserves?”
I cup his balls and push my face up into his groin, making him rasp and pin both my wrists to the bed. He takes one nipple between his plump lips again and tongues the tip as he slows his drive into my mouth and swirls his tongue around that nipple then the other.
“Hmm, changed my mind,” he says thoughtfully as he stands and pulls out of my mouth. “Let’s make her come. Over and over. Make her come ‘til she’s fucking unconscious.”
His grin is dark and cruel as he strokes himself with one hand and reaches for my already sensitive breasts with the other.
Butcher lifts his face from between my legs, his beard shiny with my slick, and grins wide as he hooks two fingers up inside me and drops a heavy hand over my mound. “Sounds like a deal, mate.”

The High Priestess. Art by Kim Thompson, from Divine Your Dinner.
CREATE A SANCTUARY, TRAVEL INWARD.
Magickal Ingredient: Pomegranate
Promotes facing fears to gather wisdom
Secure within the boundaries she has set, The High Priestess devotes herself completely to cultivating respect for the teachings of the Universe. When we align ourselves with this energy, we begin to carve out space for cleansing, connection, and reflection. Sometimes it seems impossible to find time to honor and learn from the world around us. Take a cue from The High Priestess and prioritize the creation of a space to receive sacred knowledge.
Pomegranate has long been regarded as a holy fruit and symbol of abundance. Here, we use it to open the door to sacred teachings of the ages. As a bonus, mint keeps the vibes high and opens up your perception beyond the five senses, ensuring maximum absorption of all that wisdom.
ADDITIONAL MAGICKAL INGREDIENT: MINT
POMEGRANATE JULEP
COCKTAIL—MAKES 1 COCKTAIL
A mint julep is made with bourbon, mint, and simple syrup and is often sipped at the Kentucky Derby. This twist on the classic uses pomegranate juice to brighten it and also give it a beautiful pink hue. To make fresh pomegranate juice, simply add a few spoonfuls of seeds at a time to a lemon squeezer and squeeze! Be careful, though, because the juice will squirt out from the sides and make a mess. A FUN mess, but a mess, nonetheless. Alternatively, you can buy pomegranates already juiced at the grocery store.
Serve this drink the traditional way over crushed ice and with a mint sprig garnish and if you don’t have a julep cup or mule mug, feel free to use a 12-ounce tumbler.
10 large fresh mint leaves, plus more for garnish
½ ounce Simple Syrup (recipe follows)
2 ounces bourbon
1 ounce pomegranate juice
1. In a julep cup or mule mug, use a muddler or a wooden spoon to gently mash the mint leaves and simple syrup until fragrant. Stir in the bourbon and pomegranate juice, then add crushed ice until full.
2. Give it one more stir to combine, garnish with a sprig of mint, and get ready for the races.
HOT TIP: MUDDLING IS A BAR TERM THAT MEANS TO GENTLY MASH AND MASSAGE. USE A WOODEN MUDDLER TO ACHIEVE THIS EFFECT AND RELEASE THE FLAVOR OF WHATEVER IT IS THAT YOU’RE MUDDLING.
SIMPLE SYRUP
MAKES ABOUT ¾ CUP
½ cup sugar
1. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and ½ cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat and let cool.
2 .Transfer to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 1 month.

I placed a show bet on horse #4, Confidence Game, in the Kentucky Derby. The horse didn’t even get in third place.
So, I had a hot tip on the fourth.
….
Nobody told the horse.
#92sies#racetrack higgins#The irony however is that my commitment to the bit of betting on the fourth is that it became an even BIGGER commitment when the horse lost#It was for a bit!!#However I did place a bet on horse no. 8 and the horse won first place#so it wasn’t all that bad

Miss Fisher Snippets (67)
One of the highlights of Miss Fisher Con 2022 is Afternoon at the Derby. Those who signed up for the event will get to tour the historic Churchill Downs, the horse racing complex famed for hosting the annual Kentucky Derby since 1875. Since it’s not derby time (in May), we have no use of Clarence Ball’s betting tip, but the itinerary includes exhibits at the museum, heavy appetizers, and the first showing of the virtual interview with Louisa Mignone, who played Concetta in Miss Fisher and Violetta in Ms Fisher MODern. How glorious!

Louisville, and the Kentucky Derby
FAQ: How do I make small talk when you are on the road with a stranger?
Destination: Louisville, Ky
Today’s Mistake-Getting lost in Louisville
Travel Advice: Pack half your suitcase with giveaways and gifts.
FAQ:
How do I make small talk with a stranger when you are on the road?
Start small with a question or comment about the weather, date, location, or event you are both at or have just attended. Do they seem to have something in common with you? You can gently ask how they are doing today.
Today’s destination: Louisville, KY
Derby is on the first Saturday of every year in May.
I’ve attended several of them with friends and always had fun. I miss those days, but still love the races. Churchill Downs is the place to visit when in town as that’s where the race takes place, the fastest two minutes in sports ever!
Even if you can’t make the early week races, get dressed up and place your best. Check out Thurby Oaks, which is an alternative to Churchill Downs.
On Derby weekend, you can go bourbon tasting or whatever. Be sure you get your big hat! Follow the rules regarding what you can bring.
My friend and I always celebrated with a Mint Julep, even if not at the race. What’s the recipe?
The four ingredients to taste are mint leaf, bourbon, simple syrup, and crushed ice. Once, I did not have a mint leaf, so I used oregano, which went over badly. It was a hoot!
https://www.churchilldowns.com/tickets/
https://www.letsgolouisville.com/kentucky-derby-tips
Visit the museums on Museum Row, including Louisville's own Muhammed Ali Museum, the Frazier Kentucky History Museum, 21C Museum Hotel, KMAC (the Kentucky Museum of Art & Crafts), and Roots 101 African American Museum, all within proximity. The Speed Art Museum is also a fantastic contemporary art museum in Old Louisville.
Stroll through beautiful Old Louisville, or take a guided history tour with Louisville Historic Tours to learn all about the local architecture and history.
Take a food tour with Louisville Food Tours and experience the story of Louisville one bite at a time in the most scenic neighborhoods in town. You'll learn all about the city's history while enjoying the sights, interspersed with stops at fantastic local eateries for food and drinks. With just 1.5 miles of walking spread out over 3 hours, it's the perfect balance of activity, history, and eating and drinking.
Louisville has a fantastic theatre scene! Check out what's playing at Actor's Theatre, or if you're visiting during the summer, check out the Kentucky Shakespeare Festival, the longest-running free Shakespeare festival in the country. Another fantastic entertainment venue is PLAY, a gay nightclub hosting drag performances and Queer-owned theatre productions.
Take a sunset cruise on the beautiful Ohio River aboard Louisville's historic steamboat, the Belle of Louisville.
Explore NuLu and shop at the local boutiques and gift stores in the NuLu neighborhood. It's a small area, about 2 blocks, but full of locally owned businesses. My favorite is Revelry, a gift shop and art gallery featuring unique creations by Louisville artists. Right across the street is Women Owned Wallet, a shop featuring only women-owned and created products. There are also two bourbon distilleries, Angel's Envy and Rabbit Hole! If you're spending the day in NuLu, book a NuLu Food Tour with Louisville Food Tours. Their 3-hour daytime tour features food that represents the culinary heritage of Louisville and Kentucky, and they also offer an evening bourbon food tour in NuLu, which treats bourbon as if it were wine and explores pairings of food, bourbon, and bourbon cocktails.
Lia Garcia, Founder and CEO, Let’s Go Louisville
Today’s Mistake- Getting Lost in Louisville
It was the night of the Kentucky Derby, and my college friends were all there, staying near Churchill Downs. One friend drove their motor home out to a bar after the event, and they left me behind by mistake. I did not have the address of where I was staying before cell phones, so I found a policeman and told them what happened. They helped me get “home” for the night.
Just as I walked in the door, they noticed I was missing.
Today’s Travel Advice: Pack half your suitcase with giveaways and gifts. Then, you will have room for your extras and souvenirs when you go home.
Where are you going? Let me know if I helped you travel. The show notes have ways to connect.

Kentucky Derby 2023: Top Horses, Jockey Picks, and Betting Tips to Win the Race!
The Kentucky Derby is one of the most iconic horse racing events in the world, with a rich history that spans over a century. As the 2023 Kentucky Derby approaches, fans and bettors alike are eagerly anticipating the race, which is set to take place on the first Saturday of May.
This year's race features a talented field of horses, each with their unique strengths and weaknesses. One of the top contenders is a colt named Known Agenda, trained by Todd Pletcher. Known Agenda won the Florida Derby earlier this year and is known for his powerful finishing kick.

But the Kentucky Derby is known for producing surprises, and this year's race is no exception. A dark horse to watch is a horse named Dynamic One, who is trained by Todd Pletcher. Although he's yet to win a race, Dynamic One has shown impressive speed and stamina in his workouts and could be a sleeper pick for the race.
The Importance of Jockey Choice
One of the most important factors to consider when handicapping the Kentucky Derby is the jockey choice. A skilled jockey can make all the difference in a race, knowing when to make a move and when to hold back. This year's race features several top jockeys, including John Velazquez, who has won the Kentucky Derby twice before.
Velazquez is set to ride Known Agenda, and his experience and skill make him a top pick for many bettors. Another top jockey to watch is Luis Saez, who will be riding Essential Quality. Saez has had a strong year so far and is known for his ability to get the most out of his horses.
Tips for Betting on the Kentucky Derby
If you're looking to place a bet on the Kentucky Derby, there are several factors to consider. One important factor is the horse's track record, including their past performances and how they've fared in similar races. You'll also want to consider the jockey's record, as well as the trainer's record in the Kentucky Derby.
Another key factor to consider is the horse's post position. The post position can have a significant impact on a horse's chances of winning, as some positions are considered more favorable than others. For example, horses in the outside positions may have a harder time navigating the crowded field and making up ground.
Ultimately, the Kentucky Derby is a thrilling event that combines athleticism, skill, and strategy. Whether you're a seasoned bettor or a casual fan, there's something for everyone to enjoy in this exciting race.

Summary: A hot tip turns into a hot night.
Part I | Part II | Part III | Part IV | Part V
Characters: Soldier Boy x unnamed female character/female reader (1st person POV) x William Butcher
Tags/warnings: still explicit, showering, Dom/sub, sensation play (cold), hand around the throat but not quite breath play, Butcher checking in (bc we all know Soldier Boy won’t), drug use
Author’s note: Idk where Hughie is, this is fic.
"No dogs in the Impala, and never take a joint from a guy named Don."
Thank you @brrose-apothecary. Love you, sis.
Gonzo journalism is an energetic first-person participatory writing style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story using the first-person narrative, and it draws its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire. The word gonzo is believed to have been first used in 1970 to describe an article about the Kentucky Derby by Hunter S. Thompson, who popularized the style.
The shower head releases barely more than a trickle of lukewarm water at best, but I’ve got America’s first superhero to lather me up with his big, warm hands and Vought Enemy #1 getting me dinner.
I melt into the soldier as he cocoons me in gardenia bubbles. He squeezes my shoulders and digs his thumbs into the tight muscles between my scapulae, slips around my neck and clavicle, teases my breasts, and dips down between my legs.
“Damn near forty fucking years without this,” he murmurs, firmly cupping my cunt in one hand before focusing on my ass cheeks and between. When he’s done, he pulls the handheld shower head from its perch and begins rinsing me off. “Spread your legs.”
I obey, and he tilts my chin up and to the side to deliver a searing kiss as he aims the quickly cooling stream of water against my clit. My legs shake as another fucking orgasm begins to build. Extreme sensations turn me on, even if my logical brain tells me it’s severe/bad/dangerous.
There’s no way I’d be upright if he wasn’t holding me by my throat. As the water turns to ice, I squirm and buck back into his thighs, as my brain attempts to rescue my body.
“Aww,” he quietly mocks me as I writhe in defiance, dangling from his grip. But he easily holds me the way he wants me, partially cutting off my air supply and waterboarding my clit. “Don’t like the cold, princess?”
I huff a gasp and convulse, trying to close my legs to block the torturous device. He shoves a knee between my legs from behind and lifts to plant his foot on the side of the tub, opening me wider. “Come on,” he whispers. “Come.”
“Fuck,” I sob and violently shake from the spectacular pinpoint of pain.
And then I do as he says.
When we walk out of the bathroom, both wrapped in towels, Butcher’s just returning from errands.
“Supplies,” he asserts, as he kicks his unlaced boots off and makes his way to the table. “Nosh’s on its way.”
“You couldn’t get nosh when you were out?” Soldier Boy gripes, commandeering the bag.
“Weed dispensaries and Dan on the corner ain’t exactly handin’ out dinner, mate.” Butcher shrugs out of his jacket, leaving himself barefoot in black chinos and a fresh, white beater.
I pause from digging through my bag for something comfortable to wear and stare at Butcher, smoothing a hand over my wet hair before readjusting my towel. “Dan on the corner?”
Butcher crosses the room, his expression neutral and cups my elbow. “Our friend ‘ere’s more fond of Rocket Fuel than I reckoned.”
Soldier Boy’s sitting at the table grinding up a pile of white pills with the butt of his knife. I drag my eyes back to Butcher and start to pull away, but he won’t let me. His eyes soften around the edges only enough for me to notice. Then his eyebrows raise and his chin drops.
My gaze darts back to the superhero before settling back on Butcher. Then I take a deep breath and close my eyes for 4-3-2-1. When I open them, Butcher’s still holding my elbow and looking down at me expectantly.
Those eyes of his, you’d probably say they’re black, or dark brown at least, but they’re hazel-green ringed with amber. They hold layer upon layer of violence, trauma, and rage, but they do give on occasion.
“Okay,” I assure him with a tight smile.
We hold each other’s gaze for a few beats before Soldier Boy interrupts.
“If you think you’re getting dressed, you’re wrong.” He doesn’t look up as he continues to chop and line the pills with the sharp blade. “When I’m done here, you’re next.”
Not to keep bringing up my mother, but she would be absolutely appalled by every single decision I’ve made in the last 24 hours, including packing only three pairs of underwear, and up to this very moment when I decide to not press Butcher or question this super-powered asshole for assuming that I will remain naked and at his disposal indefinitely.
Butcher feigns nonchalance as he releases his grip. “Gotta keep our boy happy.”
Because indulging the radioactive, traumatized super soldier’s many vices is what we agreed to do.
It may not be the best idea, but it was Butcher’s idea and Butcher is usually full of... well, terrible ideas, honestly, but he gets the job done. I’m just here to ensure the American people get the story.
“I need a drink,” I sigh, heading to the mini-fridge for some electrolytes. I can’t afford to lose steam, not now. There’s no way the super soldier’s version of “taking it easy” on me is anywhere near the same neighborhood as mine, especially pumped full of amphetamines and weed, so I drink up and pray for food.
There’s a knock on the door and Butcher strides over to answer it. “Wine and dine,” he announces.
“Damn near anything you want gets delivered right to your fucking door these days. Amazing.” Soldier Boy says, sounding anything but impressed as he snorts one line and then a second in plain view of the delivery kid.
Butcher barely veils his annoyance long enough to thank the kid, snatch the bags, and close the door.
“Alright, I checked in with every cunt on the eastern seaboard, nuffin’,” he says, reaching into the bag and handing me a burger with a pointed look, then doing the same for Soldier Boy, minus the pointed look, before sitting down with his own. “So more fuck off time. Now what?”
Soldier Boy rifles through another of the bags from the delivery, revealing a new bottle of whiskey from inside. “For a minute there, I thought you really meant wine, but this’ll do.” He cracks the cap and tips the bottle back for a long pull.
Butcher shifts in his seat, working on his burger as I near the end of mine. That’s how fucking hungry I was.
Soldier Boy unwraps his burger and takes a bite. “Why don’t you put some music on, doll,” he orders more than asks around a mouthful of fast food. “Something to set the mood.”
He looks straight into my eyes, and my breath hitches.
The verdant ring of his irises is almost non-existent, crowded by the black of his pupils, and frenetic.
I swallow the last bite of my burger, crumple its wrapper, and toss the waste into the trash can a few feet away. “What kinda mood?” I ask, using my calm voice, hoping it has an effect on him.
He takes another bite of his sandwich as he watches me readjust my damp towel before scrolling my phone for a music app. When I finally stop fucking around and meet his eyes again, he’s staring at me.
He wipes his hands, holding my gaze, and my heart rate speeds up as he enunciates every word. “I’m going to tie you to the bed.” He pushes away from the table and out of his seat. “We’re going to use you like a chalice for our drink and a tray for our powder.”
He unknots and drops his towel to the floor as he closes the gap between us. He’s fully hard and looking meaner than I said he was before. It takes my breath away, and I begin to wonder if we’re crossing the line from gonzo to reckless endangerment.
“And I’m going to get you so fucking high, princess, that when I slide inside you you’re going to think you died and went to heaven.”
He refuses to let me look away when he reaches out and untucks my towel to push it to the floor. Then he moves in close, cupping my breasts to tease my nipples with his thumbs. “That kinda mood.”
My mouth is dry and my heart is pounding. I nod up at him dumbly and mutter something affirmative that makes him chuckle. He slides a hand behind my neck and dips in to kiss me.
When he breaks the kiss, he barely pulls away but makes it clear he’s commanding Butcher when he says, “Roll us a fat one so we can get our girl good and wrecked.”
