In Charge
[Johnny Knoxville x F!Reader]
Desc: Johnny has been trailing you around at work all day, desperate for your touch. You deal with him when you finally get home
A/n: Sorry for being so late... anyways my return fic its been like what? two weeks? Also ty anon! happy very belated new year to you too!
Warnings: smut (18+), p in v, edging, oral (F!Receiving) , sub/dom dynamics

“I need you” Johnny whispered in your ear, taking your hand and bringing it down to feel his crotch before you tore it away.
“I’m working PJ.” You placed your headset back over your ears, pretending you had something so much more important do to, stomping off to find Jeff.
Sure you could’ve taken a quick break to help your boyfriend out but what was the fun in that when you could see him all whiny and desperate for your touch for the whole day? Every time he spotted you alone, scanning over your clipboard and talking to various crew members about production issues he’d hobble over like a lost puppy, pleading with you to suck him off or to let him fuck you in his trailer. It was like when he got horny he turned into a whimpering mess, like a teenager who hadn’t jerked off in weeks. Despite his compulsive pleading you’d never give in, only working him up until you could deal with him when you got home.
“PJ if you don't stop coming over here and begging me to fuck you you’re getting nothing when we get back. Do you understand?”
Johnny looked down at his shoes shamefully.
“I’m harder than Portland cement sweetheart. What am I meant to do?”
You looked around to make sure no one was paying you mind before tugging Johnny’s chin up to face you, angry look in your eyes.
“Don’t come til I can deal with you then, since you want me so bad.”
Johnny groaned, realising he really had pulled the short end of the straw but you were off again before he could verbally protest/throw a toddler-like tantrum. Sex with you made him eager for it whenever he possibly could, something that became a blessing and a curse.
It was a long day of shooting after that ultimatum, Johnny screwing up the simplest lines when his mind was clouded, whether his hard-on had subsided or not. You revelled in watching him get all flustered and frustrated, knowing it was your doing though the cast and crew were not too thrilled about the extra time spent reshooting over and over.
Eventually the end of the day came and Johnny practically ran three red lights trying to beat the traffic, his grip on the wheel tightening as he shot you nervous side glances, trying to determine what he was in for. Your expression remained stone cold, eyes fixed on the road ahead, acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Once you arrived at the house and made your way to your bedroom, you instructed Johnny to sit on the bed as you sat on the armchair in the corner, crossing one leg over the other.
“Aren’t you gonna come over here?” He asked, brows knitting together in desperation.
“Take your clothes off.” is all you responded with, leaning back and getting comfortable while your boyfriend stripped off until he was completely bare, appearing a little abashed.
“Am I the only one getting naked tonight?”
You bit back a grin.
“Maybe later, have to see if you’re good first.”
Johnny sighed, leaning back on his arms as he awaited your input.
“You can touch yourself.”
His brow quirked before he spat on his hand and reached down to pump his already hardening cock slowly, eyes locking into yours with deep-set lust. You admired him as he pleasured himself, thumb swiping over his tip just how you would.
“Wish it was your hand. Or your tongue.” He spoke lowly, never ceasing eye contact.
“Too bad you were nagging me all day. Maybe if you weren't so desperate it would be me making you feel good.”
Johnny shook his head at your snarky reply, hand beginning to pick its pace up.
“So what's the punishment here, I jerk off in front of you while you squeeze your thighs together?”
Nothing slipped past that man. You rolled your eyes, hands finding themselves tugging your shirt off, your bra remaining on.
“Well that's something to work with.” Johnny bit his lip, jacking off even quicker at the sight of you a little less clothed.
You could tell by the way his breath hitched and the pumps became erratic that he was close.
“Don’t come.”
“What?” Johnny croaked out, panting.
“I said.” You leaned forward and reached around your back, unclasping your bra and letting it fall off your chest,
“Don't come.”
Johnny’s face fell as soon as he realised what you meant.
He let out an exasperated sigh as he worked himself to the edge before pulling his hand away, squeezing his eyes tightly while feeling the orgasm die away.
“Good boy.”
“Don’t.”
You giggled, that was never a nickname Johnny appreciated.
“You’re such a bitch you know that?”
“Awww but you love me.” You fake pouted.
Johnny rolled his eyes, leaning back on his arms.
“I’d love you a little more if you’d help me out.” He nodded down to his erection, red and angry, a pleading look in his eye. You smirked before unbuttoning your pants and shimmying them off, Johnny catching an excited grin. He bit his lip and appeared as smug as ever as your pants were discarded, you leaning back into your chair.
“Go again.”
Johnny’s face dropped once more
“You’re fucking with me doll.”
You smiled, shaking your head as your boyfriend groaned, returning his hand to his cock.
“See you’d do anything I’d tell you wouldn’t you?”
Johnny angled his hips upward and let his mouth hang open a bit, eyes never leaving yours.
“Anything.” He murmured, shaking his head.
You reached your hand down to rub yourself over your clothed clit, Johnny’s eyes flicking immediately down to examine your movements. He released a strained moan as he got himself closer to the edge for the second time, your display offering a helping hand.
“Don’t come.”
Johnny rolled his eyes, his hand not ceasing.
“I know the drill baby.”
Your fingers moved faster to match Johnny’s, your orgasm looming over you. Eventually the both of you almost made it, about to tip over but promptly removed your hands and fingers as soon as the other did. Matched noises of annoyance were heard followed by synced pants. Johnny looked over to you, his eyes dripping with pure lust.
“You gonna let me touch you now?”
You bit back a grin, nodding him over as your eyes hung low. He pushed himself off the bed and walked over to you, tall body looming. He bent down and kissed you, your lips locking together before he sleazily slipped his tongue in. As you sloppily made out you began pushing his shoulders down, urging him to get on his knees which he complied in doing. You pulled away from each other, Johnny’s hands now rubbing the sides of your thighs, fingers looping under the band of your panties.
“If you do a good job I’ll fuck you.”
Johnny slipped your underwear off of you.
“I always do a good job.”
You pulled his head up from his hair to stop him from diving in.
“Don’t be so cocky or you won’t come today.”
Johnny sighed.
“Yes ma’am.”
Light kisses were littered along your inner thighs, little kitten licks added to some before he was at your heat, glancing up at you as he latched onto your clit, sucking softly. You bit your lip as your breathing increased, fingers dragging through Johnny's scalp. His mouth moved down to your entrance, adding more tongue while his nose pressed against your clit.
“You’re already soaking.” He murmured into you, the hot breath adding even more pleasure.
Your hips bucked forward into Johnny’s face the faster his tongue moved, fingers beginning to sneak up, rubbing through your folds. You continued your steady strings of moans as a finger pushed into you, Johnny’s lips latching back onto your clit to suck. You tugged his hair as he added another finger, moving them in and out as fast as he sucked.
“Fuck baby.” You threw your head back, Johnny's eyes flicking up to look at your expression, smiling smugly against your heat.
His cycle of fingers and tongue quickened until you were worked to the very edge, your eyes shut tightly as you focused on coming on your boyfriend’s fingers. You released with a load moan, hips involuntarily bucking forward against Johnny as you did so. Johnny’s fingers continued for a moment before slowing to a stop, letting your clit go with a pop and removing his soaking digits.
You bit your lip as you looked down at your boyfriend, taking his wrist in your hand and moving his fingers towards his lips, pushing them into his mouth so he could taste you. His drooping eyes were locked into yours as he sucked them dry, whimpering quietly. After you figured he’d had enough you pulled his fingers away from him, instead swiping the spit that coated his soft lips around them with your thumb and leaning down to kiss him. You kissed for a few seconds before standing up, pushing Johnny to his feet as well before shoving him back down to sit down on the armchair, straddling him as his eyes glimmered with glee.
“Fucking finally.” He whispered, smiling smugly as you sat yourself down just in front of his cock.
You extended your hand wordlessly, Johnny catching the memo and promptly spitting on your hand, allowing for you to pump his rock hard length for a few moments. Johnny bit back the moan that was brewing in his throat, head pushing against the back of the chair trying to suppress his pleasure.
“I think you made me wait too long. I’m gonna come in T-5 seconds.” Johnny moved your hand away to stop you bringing him any closer to the edge that was already so near.
“You can take it.”
You pushed yourself up onto your knees and positioned Johnny’s cock so it was right at your entrance, tracing it through your folds for a moment before sinking down, earning a moan from both parties.
Johnny’s hands on your waist tightened, head lulling forward onto your tits as he braced himself, the feeling of your cunt too orgasm-inducing to bear.
“It’s always like it’s the first time with you.” He laughed, eyes shutting tightly.
You pulled Johnny up from his hair, forcing him to look up at you.
“It’s alright, we all gotta lose our virginity at some point.”
Johnny scoffed, rolling his eyes as you laughed.
“Would a virgin eat pussy like that?” He kissed your nipple as he stared up at you before you sunk down again, building a slow rhythm.
“Stop being so cocky. Who’s in charge here?”
You furrowed your brows as you quickened your pace in an effort to derail Johnny's snappy comments even if they turned you on. Your means were successful as Johnny’s eyes shut once again, mouth falling slightly agape.
“I said-”
You moved forward to whisper into his ear, grinding against him while fully bottomed out.
“Who’s in charge here?” You uttered, hot breath sending shivers down Johnny’s spine causing him to let out a low groan.
“You.” He croaked out, voice strained from pleasure.
You hummed in approval, kissing the shell of his ear as you switched back to bouncing on his cock, the change of speed forcing Johnny’s eyes shut. You revelled in the sensation of being filled up as well as your boyfriend’s contorted expression. The closer you came to coming, the tighter you squeezed your cunt, eliciting a desperate moan from Johnny.
“Fuck I’m gonna come doll.”
You kept up your bouncing even when the squeeze of Johnny’s fingers into the skin of your waist was a sign to how close he really was.
“Hold on for another minute baby, I’m close too.”
You pushed the hair off of Johnny’s forehead as he released a disappointed whimper. Having already been edged that night he was not looking forward to waiting any longer. Lucky for him, the feeling of his tip pressing into your g spot was hurtling you towards your orgasm, your hands digging into Johnny’s neck and increased moans giving a warning. The band in your stomach finally snapped, Johnny having to buck his hips up into you to chase his own impending orgasm. As you convulsed, the after effects of your big finish washing over you, Johnny came inside of you, the groan he let out being long and much needed. He held your hips down, not letting go as you felt him paint your insides, coming for at least ten seconds.
“Jesus that was a big load.” You smirked, Johnny burying his head into your chest.
“Fuck off.” He mumbled.
After a minute of silence you got off of your boyfriend’s lap, trailing off into the bathroom to clean yourself up, leaving him to lay fucked out on the armchair.
“You know when you're following me around and begging me to fuck you in future, it won't end like this.” You called out, a hint of sarcasm in your words.
“I know.”
Johnny sighed, moving himself from the chair to planting his stomach flat on the bed, bare ass out in the open. You laughed as you re-emerged.
“You know it’s only like seven o’ clock right?”
“G’night.”
End.

Aside from water, concrete is the most-used material in the world, with about 14 billion cubic metres being used every year. Of that, 40% of that is used to build places for people to live.
If you were to pour that amount of concrete to make a paving slab ten centimetres thick, it would cover all of England and about half of Wales. In the US, the same amount would cover the state of New York.
But concrete production releases carbon dioxide (CO₂), one of the greenhouse gases that drives climate change. About 90% of emissions associated with concrete come from the production of Portland cement – this fine grey powder, the part that binds concrete ingredients together, was named after its resemblence to stone from the Isle of Portland, Dorset. Portland cement accounts for 7%-8% of the world’s direct CO₂ emissions.
Production of a more sustainable and cost-effective low-carbon cement, often nicknamed “green” cement, is scaling up. A new plant next to an existing cement plant in Redding, California, will produce about 15,000 tonnes of low-carbon cement every year. This could be used to make about 50,000 cubic metres of concrete, which is less than 0.0004% of the world’s concrete production.
At Redding, materials technology company Fortera turns CO₂ captured during conventional cement production into ready-to-use green cement, a form of calcium carbonate. This could reduce carbon emissions of cement by 70% on a tonne-for-tonne basis, according to Fortera.
A concrete issue
People have been using concrete for more than 2,000 years, by blending gravel, sand, cement, water and, sometimes, synthetic chemicals. It’s used to create everything from paths and bridges to buildings and pipes.
Currently, the EU uses more than two tonnes of concrete per person per year – 325kg of that is cement. That’s equivalent to the amount of food the average European person eats in five months.
Cement production is an energy-intensive process and the greenhouse gas emissions are hard to cut. When limestone is heated in a kiln, often fuelled by coal, nearly half that limestone is lost as CO₂ emissions.
This happens because limestone (calcium carbonate) breaks down in heat to form clinker, a mix of calcium oxide and CO₂. For every tonne of ordinary Portland cement made, 0.6-0.9 tonnes of CO₂ are released into the atmosphere.
So many industries rely on this material. The main challenge facing the cement industry is reducing CO₂ emissions at the same time as meeting global demand.
So as well as developing new technologies, low-carbon cement production must be established on a global scale to meet infrastructural needs required of economically developing nations.
Low-carbon alternatives
Other ways to reduce the carbon footprint of concrete include using fly ash (a by-product from burning coal in power plants) or slag (a by-product from steel production) to partially replace Portland cement.
However, sources of these materials will reduce as other industries decarbonise. Over time, less iron ore will be used to produce steel as more steel is produced from recycling existing steel, so there’ll be less available slag.
Current strategies for decarbonising cement and concrete rely heavily on using carbon capture and storage technology to capture unavoidable process emissions from cement plants.
So low-carbon cement production doesn’t have to involve replacing every cement production plant in operation. Low-carbon cement facilities can be retrofitted to capture CO₂ emissions released from manufacturing conventional cement. Plants can also use that captured CO₂ within the cement that they are producing or as a product for the food and chemical industries.
In Norway, Heidelberg Materials are building an industrial-scale carbon capture and storage plant at a cement facility that could capture and store an estimated 400,000 tonnes of CO₂ per year – that’s half the existing plant’s emissions.
However, this technology has a high investment cost for cement producers. Captured CO₂ can be stored underground, but this requires specific geological characteristics that aren’t guaranteed at cement production sites.
Greenhouse gas emissions in the cement sector are regulated by the EU’s emissions trading system. This was established to make polluters pay for their greenhouse gas emissions, reduce emissions and generate revenues to finance the green transition.
This legislation has not significantly reduced carbon emissions in the cement sector over the past decade, according to the International Energy Agency, mainly due to free emissions allowances being granted to cement manufacturers.
Despite sustained healthy profits in the cement industry, there hasn’t been enough investment in the widespread uptake of cleaner technologies and the sustainable use of materials. Greater financial incentives could help whereby companies have to pay for emissions associated with the production of cement.
As a design engineer, I appreciate that material choice and good design play a major role in the sustainability credentials of construction. Before low-carbon cement technology becomes more widespread, engineers, designers and builders can use construction materials more efficiently and choose products with lower embodied carbon – that’s carbon emissions released during the life cycle of building materials, from extraction through to disposal.
This approach could easily save 20% in embodied emissions associated with new building design.
Some governments could move towards only permitting the use of low-carbon cement. In Ireland, the Climate Action Plan 2024 requires that low-carbon construction methods and low-carbon cement are specified where possible for government-procured or government-supported construction projects.
Could all cement in the future be low-carbon or “green”? How “low-carbon” is defined will play a very important part in how this is translated into practice in the industry.
Retrofitting technology to large-scale existing cement production plants will prove that it’s technically possible to produce low-carbon cement efficiently at scale. With the right incentives in place by governments and the construction sector, almost all cement produced around the world could be low-carbon.

Excerpt:
“C-Crete’s binder produces almost no CO2 in its manufacturing and continues to absorb it from the air over time,” the company states. “Its scalability and cost-parity with conventional cement make it a viable alternative to ordinary Portland cement — a notorious contributor to global CO2 emissions.”
“Once mineralized in the concrete, the diluted CO2 would make the new material stronger, tougher and more durable than conventional concrete,” the company adds.

“Why was the concrete made by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago stronger than the one used today?
Roman’s were lucky. Roman concrete is amazingly strong because of its chemistry. Modern-day concrete is typically made of ‘Portland cement’ that is then mixed with water and aggregate (like gravel). Portland cement-based concrete does deteriorate over time. A common attempt to make it stronger is to embed steel reinforcing rods in it. This does increase its ‘tensile’ strength considerably—far beyond anything that Roman concrete could do. For instance, Roman concrete could never be used for a freeway overpass span like is commonly used today. However, steel reinforcement has one major drawback: steel rusts. This not only weakens the material but it also expands causing cracks and other weaknesses in the concrete.
So, one of the reasons that Roman concrete structures have lasted for millennia is that the Romans only used it in so-called ‘compression’ mode, never in tensile mode (in other words for structures like columns, arches, and domes—never for horizontal elements like beams). Because concrete is only used in compression, the more weight it carries, the stronger it becomes.
Perhaps the most important reason Roman concrete is so strong, though, is that it is made with ‘pozzolana’ ash instead of Portland cement. Pozzolana ash is volcanic ash and the Romans were incredibly lucky in that pozzolana-based concrete actually grows stronger with age, especially if it has been mixed with sea water. This has been recently been shown through studies made at the University of Utah. Surprisingly, mixing pozzolana ash with sea water creates something called aluminous tobermorite, a rare silica-based mineral that's actually very hard to make in the lab, but is abundant in the ancient Roman concrete and causes the concrete to grow more rock-like with age. This not only makes ordinary concrete structures stronger, but it works like a miracle with underwater structures like harbor foundations. The pozzolana not only hardens underwater, but the sea water makes the concrete harder because the aluminous tobermorite actually grows in the concrete thanks to the sea water sloshing around it, slowly dissolving the volcanic ash within and giving it space to develop a reinforced structure from these interlocking crystals of aluminous tobermorite. As a result, according to the researchers: "The Romans created a rock-like concrete” by using pozzolana.”

Uses and types of Cement in India
JSW Cement is committed to producing solutions that strengthen buildings while also taking into account the requirement for environmentally sustainable building materials. We are bridging the gap between consumer happiness and eco-efficiency with the aid of our cement products.
What is cement?
In order to bond different materials together, cement is utilised in construction. It is a fine powder derived mostly from limestone, clay, and other minerals that have undergone calcination—a chemical reaction—when fired at high temperatures in a kiln. Clinker, a product of this process, is ground into a fine powder and combined with small amounts of gypsum to form cement.
Uses of Cement
Cement is a versatile material used in a wide variety of construction applications. Some common uses of cement include:
Concrete: Cement is a primary ingredient in concrete, which is used for building foundations, walls, columns, and floors. Concrete is valued for its strength, durability, and versatility and is used in everything from residential homes to large-scale infrastructure projects.
Mortar: Cement is mixed with sand and water to create mortar, which is used to hold bricks, stones, and other materials together in masonry construction.
Stucco: Cement is also used in stucco, which is a type of plaster that is applied to the exterior of buildings to create a durable, weather-resistant surface.
Grout: Cement-based grout is used to fill gaps between tiles or masonry blocks in construction projects.
Roads and bridges: Cement is used in the construction of roads, bridges, and other infrastructure projects, where it is used to create strong, durable foundations and supports.
Pre-cast concrete: Cement is used in the manufacture of pre-cast concrete products such as pipes, blocks, and panels, which are used in a variety of construction applications.
Decorative uses: Cement can also be used for decorative purposes, such as creating textured surfaces, artistic sculptures, or stamped and colored concrete surfaces.
Overall, cement is an essential material in construction, providing strength, durability, and stability to a wide range of building projects.

What is Concrete - Types, Composition And Properties - UltraTech
Concrete, often referred to as the building block of modern construction, plays a fundamental role in shaping our built environment. In this informative article, we'll delve into the world of concrete, exploring its composition, properties, and various types of concrete that cater to diverse construction needs. What is Concrete? Concrete is a versatile and durable construction material composed of a mixture of aggregates (such as sand and gravel), cement, and water. The combination undergoes a chemical reaction, known as hydration, resulting in a solid and robust material that can be molded into various shapes and structures. Properties and Advantages: Concrete exhibits exceptional properties, including compressive strength, durability, fire resistance, and versatility. Its adaptability allows architects and engineers to create a wide range of structures, from towering skyscrapers to intricate sculptures. Types of Concrete: Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) Concrete: The most common type, OPC concrete, is used in general construction and is suitable for a variety of applications. High-Strength Concrete: Engineered for exceptional strength, high-strength concrete is utilized in projects requiring greater load-bearing capacity. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC): This type of concrete flows into formwork and around reinforcement without the need for external compaction, ensuring uniform distribution. Ready-Mix Concrete (RMC): Delivered to construction sites in a ready-to-use form, RMC enhances efficiency and quality. Pervious Concrete: Designed to allow water to pass through, pervious concrete is employed for sustainable drainage solutions. Fibre-Reinforced Concrete: Incorporating fibers (such as steel or synthetic) enhances the concrete's tensile strength and reduces cracking. Stamped Concrete: Used for decorative purposes, stamped concrete replicates the appearance of materials like brick, stone, or wood. Choosing the Right Concrete: Selecting the appropriate type of concrete is essential for ensuring project success. Factors such as intended use, environmental conditions, and load-bearing requirements influence the choice. Conclusion: Concrete's versatility, durability, and adaptability make it an indispensable component of the construction industry.

What is Portland Cement and which is the best Portland Cement in India?
Among cement types, Portland Cement is the most common. It is usually made by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) in a kiln with clay. This process is known as calcination and it liberates carbon dioxide from the calcium carbonate to form calcium oxide. This compound is then mixed with the other materials to form ‘clinkers’ i.e. cementitious compounds such as calcium silicates. These clinkers are then mixed with a small amount of gypsum into a powder to make Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC.)
As Ordinary Portland Cement is made of limestone, it’s important to source the best limestone possible to produce the best quality cement. And when it comes to this, no one can beat Wonder Cement.
Wonder Cement mines limestone using eco-friendly blasting technology called NONEL (Shock Tube.) The newly mined limestone is then sent for crushing, grinding and packaging. This entire process is fully automated and adheres to strict quality standards. To ensure these standards are met, the ROBOTIC (POLAB) system has been deployed by Wonder Cement.
Ordinary Portland Cement by Wonder Cement is ideal for applications like high-rise buildings, commercial and industrial complexes, roads, runways, bridges and flyovers, heavy defence structures, etc.
OPC by Wonder Cement has many incredible benefits. Some of them are:
Due to its low percentage of alkalis, chlorides, magnesia and free line in its composition, the concrete made of Ordinary Portland Cement is highly durable and sound
OPC has an almost negligible amount of chloride, this results in restraining corrosion of the concrete structure even in highly hostile environments
Due to its high strength, one can save a significant amount in cement consumption while making concrete of grades M15, M20, M25, and M35 with OPC
Apart from OPC, Wonder Cement also makes Portland Pozzolana Cement (PPC) and Xtreme.
You can connect with your nearest Wonder Cement dealer for more information and the latest cement price.
