i'm dragging a heart that weighs a ton / holding out for not just anyone

[Fontaine: The technological hub of Teyvat.

For as long as anyone can remember, the country of Fontaine has always been the innovative center for the continent. High speed rail was originated here, and now spans across the entirety of Teyvat and beyond. High rises and skyscrapers pepper the skyline, modern Victorian buildings supporting a gear-like aesthetic from an era gone by. A thousand years ago, it was a much different place, but now it thrives with the bright lights and bustle of its people. One can hear the occasional street performer playing for cash, as businessmen and tourists alike walk down narrow cobblestone streets. People are buried in their phones, some take pictures as they gawk at the sights of the city, but one young man in particular walks languidly down the street, enjoying the life around him. He's in no hurry to get where he's going, as he has plenty of time to get there, noting a deli across the street from where he is now that he'll have to try.

Unfortunately, he is on business, so that'll have to wait.

Never being one to be dressed completely formal, he wears a comfortable pair of slacks and dress shoes, with a collared shirt that isn't buttoned up all the way under a grey vest. Various pieces of metal are woven into the vest, notably a crest on his right shoulder with a chain attached to it that hangs under his arm to the back. On his belt lies a Vision, glowing blue with hydro. The young man always seems friendly and easy going, but what lies underneath is something that not many are allowed to know- the heir to the family business of a company who develops tech for various products is also the right hand man of the mafia that runs the city.

And, their true business behind the scenes; creating Delusions to sell on the black market.

Today is a day where some investigating has to be done, and he's headed to see an old friend of his, from university. One that he's sure can help him with this problem he has. Entering the building, he swings in quietly to give a polite wave and a smile to the only person there.

Someone who looked exactly like their brother, whom he can only assume is the twin sister he'd yet to meet that he'd heard about.]

Hello, I was wondering if Aether was in today? I had a...business proposal for him, and I'm sure that he'd love to hear it. Unless of course, you might be of assistance instead.

[He can feel the searing heat from her fingernails into his flesh, sucking in air sharply as she does so. But he can't say he doesn't enjoy it, her response to his body electrifying even as she squeezes into him. Though, he hadn't meant to hurt her, readjusting his angle to something more normal as he grins back.]

Sorry. I just wanted to see how you liked that.

[He's not exactly sorry, but begins a slow rhythm again, keeping himself from doing something that might be a little too much for right now, letting waves of pleasure slowly suck him under. As if in apology, he leans down to kiss softly against her neck, running a line of small kisses down it, then moving to the other side to do the same. Though, he can't help but smile through every single one of them, amused by this entire encounter, and amused by how they've come to find themselves of the study floor.

He whispers to her, that same amusement lining his tone.]

I can be gentle, if you'd prefer.

[ the moan that escapes her mouth is pretty much indicative of the electricity running through her veins, lumine not even daring to stifle it. there's no point, not when it's just the both of them in this room, the both of them chasing their own pleasure. still, the shift from rough to gentle, the way ajax adjusts his pace to accommodate her sends an explosion of heat from the base of her spine to the tips of her fingers, and lumine can't help but cling to him, burying her face into his shoulders.

another gasp, another pretty whimper leaves her lips as she once more attempts to match his rhythm, hips rocking against him. her fingers leave the expanse of his back, sinking into his hair and curling around the strands. ]

I liked it, [ she mutters against his shoulder, the words punctuated by soft gasps and moans, eyes closing as she lets herself melt beneath him. ] It felt really good ... Just ...

[ she swats his shoulder, glaring up at his grin. ] A warning next time, please?

Edited 2022-08-31 18:13 (UTC)

[It's more than satisfying to hear her say that. To admit how good he made her feel, it feels like a badge of honor- and one that he's determined to show over and over again that he deserves to wear.

In response, his grin only widens when she swats him, letting his rhythm slow down even further to let himself sink all the way inside of her. Slow, deep thrusts are the name of the game now, his nerve endings buzzing as he rocks in and out against her. Every moan from her serves to fuel that fire, keeping him focused on getting her to elicit more of those noises, delicious to his ears and driving him more mad by the second.]

Alright, [he says with a smirk,] then consider this your next warning.

[Ajax pushes his upper body up, effectively changing the angle on her again, continuing to keep this slow, steady and deep rhythm he's started. He can feel how this allows him to go even further inside of her, his eyes closing as he feels every inch of himself get enveloped, his own moans and whimpers spilling out of him with her name on his lips.]

[ that was the worst thing to say, she realises now. but it's too late, ajax's grin growing and practically telling her that she's just given him ammo to use against her. to drive her insane, which is what he does a moment later, and she finds herself arching from the floor, head thrown back as an embarrassingly loud moan leaves her lips. but she can't help it, not when it feels like she's been struck by lightning, fire and electricity running through her body.

each slow, deliberate thrust hits something deep, something good within her that her mind turns into mush and her words into unintelligible cries, his name peppered all throughout. lumine writhes on the floor, her hands grasping everything and anything it can to anchor herself as waves of pleasure assault her senses. ]

Ajax ... Ajax ...

[ lumine squeezes him again, fingers digging into his back, letting a moan loud enough to probably echo in the house. she's so close and yet his slow pace only builds and builds and builds. she wants release. ]

Please, so close ... Faster—

[Ajax will be thankful later that Aether wasn't around to hear his sister cry and moan for him the way she was now, the look on her face and her voice in his ears dooming him to madness for the next few moments. He genuinely tries to fight the instinct to grant her request, not immediately speeding his pace up, still riding his own waves of pleasure that sweep through him. Those cries, pleading for him to help her reach her peak, he wants more of them.]

How badly do you want it, Lumine?

[Ajax continues slowly, but not excruciatingly so, letting his pace build gradually. Given how she'd teased him earlier, edging him the way she did...he doesn't see why he can't return the favor.]

Tell me.

[He cranes his neck down, letting his mouth lave open-mouthed kisses to her neck, sucking without restraint and mindless in his ministrations.]

[ aether would've bludgeoned him with a blunt object if he was there. but as it stands, they're both safe for now from her brother's wrath and judgment. not that lumine's currently preoccupied with thoughts of her twin; if anything, she's not preoccupied with any thoughts other than that of ajax and ajax alone.

she whines when he doesn't let up, letting out a sob against his shoulder. her body shudders and rocks beneath him, urging him to pick up the pace and tensing every time he pushes her so close to the edge. but it's never enough, never satisfying that she crests her peak.

a keen escapes her lips when his mouth starts leaving kisses on her neck, her entire being set aflame already and hypersensitive. ]

No, I ...

[ lumine grits her teeth, another moan bubbling up her throat when he sinks in once more. her eyes roll back into her head, lids squeezing shut as she sees stars exploding. ]

Please, Ajax, please ... Let me come ...

[It's all music to his ears, loving how she seems to sink into a well of pleasure that dominates her mind so much that her protest is cut off, only to be continued with her begging for release. That's enough for him to finally let go, to stop restraining himself and to give her exactly what she wants. It was already difficult enough, as he lets out a satisfied moan, lifting his head from her neck as his pace quickens considerably.]

Lumine...mmmmmm... [he utters with a sharp intake of air as heat races through him, his hips moving quicker with each pump.]

You feel so good...you drive me crazy...

[He can feel himself lose control, every movement and connection they make is done in response to how her body demands to be pleasured by his- and Ajax gladly succumbs to it, his own pressure building within him. Her arched back, her eyes closed, her hands in his back. It's intoxicating, his moans and cries for her ringing out over and over.]

[ there's a thought niggling at the back of her mind, unspoken words that threaten to spill from her lips. and for a split second, lumine looks as if she's about to say something to ajax, her eyes glazed over with tears and lust. but she quickly stamps it down, allows herself to let out honest whines and moans of pleasure when his pace quickens.

his back will no doubt be a mural of scratches after this, but she doesn't care. lumine grasps onto him tightly, seeking purchase onto his skin with her fingers and onto his hips with her legs as ajax finally, finally drives her further into insanity. ]

Ajax!

[ her body violently tenses and then shudders underneath him as she comes, shivering and shaking as waves of pleasure assault her. she's murmuring unintelligible words against his shoulder, gasping over the slightest of movements like electricity pumping through her veins.

she'll need to take a moment to compose herself and also to come down from such a pleasurable high. ]

[His mind doesn't let him linger on the thought of what she was almost going to say for a moment there, filing it away as her moans and cries of his name drive his attention towards reaching their own peaks, fully concentrated on spreading bliss through both of their bodies as she shudders violently beneath him. A wave of satisfaction runs through him, happy that she's been able to come, and now he can finish himself as he lifts the remaining restraints on himself.

His own moans grow louder and louder as he works to find his own release, not having to wait that long after before he feels the pressure inside of him build and let go, shuddering inside of her as he finally ejaculates. It's almost felt like an eternity since they'd started, having been brought to the edge several times by her mouth, making this ever so much more blissful as he moans her name over and over.

Ajax slowly lets himself down, to come to rest on his forearms and letting his head rest on her chest, breathing hard from the effort with small tired whines coming from him as he tries to catch his breath. A few minutes later, he groans with the effort of picking himself up again, sliding out of her to sit up, breath more calm but still looking like he'd done a mild workout. He smiles down at her, his whole body still sensitive and feeling wonderful, to laugh before he says:]

Perhaps we can do this in the kitchen next time?

[ his release almost feels like another round on its own, and lumine has to be careful not to get stimulated by it. a feat in itself, considering how sensitive her body is. even the slightest touch, the careful way he pulls out of her, painfully sends a bolt of lightning down her spine.

still, she doesn't get up from her position on the floor as she tries to slow down her heart rate, tries to calm down her breathing. she supposes that the good thing about this is the fact that she hasn't taken a shower yet. ]

In five years, maybe.

[ lumine gives him an exasperated stare and groans when she tries to move her limbs, her entire body just boneless, exhausted from their little exertion. she's really very lucky aether isn't around.

her eyes flicker to his neck, pushing her tongue against her cheek. ]

Or maybe if you survive your trip to your dad's place later.

[Five years isn't a no

Ajax only laughs again in response, not being entirely serious about the suggestion, though he certainly wouldn't mind if they spiced it up while cooking one day, so to speak...

Though he doesn't really know why she's said that. There's nothing going on at his parent's house that he knows of, other than his mother possibly drilling him about Lumine since she knows that they live together. He blinks once, wondering what she means by that.]

I don't see why I wouldn't. The worst that will happen is I'll scare my mother when I'm suddenly not myself anymore.

[He has to ask Yae to be nice to his parents...]

[ yae aside ...

lumine says nothing for a moment, her eyes still on the hickey that's slowly blooming on his skin, before she carefully gets up. her hand reaches out for the towel he's discarded earlier, wiping herself down between her legs. again, she's glad she hasn't started showering yet and would've needed to waste water again to clean herself up. her legs still feel like jelly, though, so she doesn't get up completely.

instead, she leans into closer to ajax, tracing a finger lightly along the column of his neck. it pauses on the hickey, pressing it ever so gently. ]

I don't think your mom would be too frightened of this.

[ the volkov matriarch seems like a tough woman, even if she babies her own children. and considering what she's seen so far of her, fear wouldn't be the emotion she'd have.

besides: ] But you might need to endure a round or two of questioning from her.

[Ajax only watches as she cleans herself up, still resting, knowing that his own legs would be just as wobbly as hers if he tries to stand. His eyes follow her hand as she traces his neck, letting his eyes settle on her once she presses her finger against him. There's a moment when he hears the words, but he's a little preoccupied with admiring her before the meaning behind them sink in.

Oh, she...gave him a hickey. That's what that was all about...]

You sneaky devil, the whole purpose behind all that was so you could get your revenge, wasn't it?

[He looks at her accusingly, and he bets she did it because he was going to see his parents today.]

[ cat's out of the bag, it looks like. then again, it doesn't really matter when her plan has been successfully executed. and lumine looks very much satisfied like a cat that's just gotten her cream, trailing her finger from his neck down his chest, following the line of red marks on his skin. an eye for an eye, as they say.

at his accusation, though, she lifts her gaze to his face, putting on a look of confusion. why is he acting like this is all one-sided? ]

What, you were moaning my name quite sensually earlier.

[ he sure looked drunk on pleasure when she was going down on him. lumine tips his chin a little higher with a finger, eyes flickering to the little hickey right beneath his jaw. ]

Don't tell me you didn't enjoy all of that?

[Ajax shoots a cocky grin back at her, despite being less than pleased about this predicament. He'll surely have to answer for it when his mother sees it, and when Aether sees it too. Maybe she hadn't thought about how her brother may give her a lecture later about having too much fun with him while he's away working.]

I loved every second of it, [he replies, not denying how amazing she made him feel. Even now, it's difficult to keep himself from taking her into a kiss, but now that he's returned to his senses, he realizes that he may want to wait on that for a little bit.]

I didn't realize how much I enjoy when you take control over the situation. I certainly wouldn't mind it if we did more things like that...

[He lets his voice trail off, letting his eyelids fall heavily, almost as if he were enticing her to initiate something more. He has to go, but he wouldn't mind it terribly either. It's not like he's going to be late.]

[ she'll cross the bridge (and the scolding) when she gets there. lumine's pretty sure aether will have a lot to say once he comes back and a lecture is already set in stone, even more so when he sees ajax's neck. but hey, at least ajax can get the brunt of his annoyance first; hopefully, by the time he's back, aether's mellowed down a little.

lumine says nothing for a long moment, weighing the opportunities he's currently giving her. she sidles a little closer, almost enough to press herself against him again. ]

Hm? You'll have to say the magic word again if you want me to do something for you.

[ c'mon, ajax. he made her beg earlier, and she's not about to let that pass. if he wants her to do something that would get him terribly late in going to his parents' home, then he has to earn it. ]

Isn't that what he agreed to?

[Lumine isn't making it easy for him, her warmth up against him sending urges through him that beg to settle and share a long intimate moment with her. He grabs the towel she'd just used, folding it to a clean part and wiping himself off before he does anything else, tossing it to the side before he wraps an arm around her waist.

Ajax lets his face sink into her hair, kissing her head as he considers it. She's practically given the green light to do more, but what he really wants to do is kiss her and he's not willing to find out what he tastes like.]

It is. I think what I'd really like is simply to relax for a bit with you before I have to go. We should clean up a little first. And then-

[He lets his hand brush her cheek, nuzzling her, his neediness front and center.]

-will you please come sit with me for a while? I think the couch will work just fine.

[ he's really trying to avoid kissing her, isn't he? there had been a few chances where she's left herself open, but ajax just seems like he's a little hesitant to do so, avoiding it pointedly and doing something else to deflect it. which only makes her want to prod and poke at it, see what he'll do in response. ]

That's surprisingly tame coming from you. You're not tuckered out from just that, are you?

[ lumine doubts that, considering what she knows of him and what she's learned of him so far. very un-ajax-like, if she were to be asked. and the fact that he's still being clingy and needy should tell her as much.

she tilts her head just a bit, enough for her to face him, and leans in to try to kiss him on the mouth. if he pulls away, well ... ]

Of course not.

[Ajax feels his eyes fall down to her lips, beyond tempted to let himself forget where they'd been not but minutes ago. Though, he can sense that she's noticed he's avoiding it, his head turning just so to brush past her lips to kiss her cheek. He presses a few there before trailing them down her neck, sighing with content into each one.

He's managed to avoid it for now, he hopes that he won't have to the next time.]

I think we'll be much more comfortable on a cushion of sorts.

[He nuzzles her again, burying his face into her neck. Surely, he'll be safe here.]

[ :\

yup, definitely avoiding and deflecting. lumine says nothing for a moment, letting him trail kisses down her cheek and her neck as she thinks about what to do next, tapping a rhythm against his shoulder with her finger. she does wonder if he'll protest out loud if she tries it again.

... it'll be a nice experiment to do. see what boundaries ajax is willing to compromise for intimacy. ]

Mm, but shower first, [ she says, nuzzling his head. a hand reaches out to tilt his head up to face her again so she can try to kiss him once more. ] I don't think your dad will appreciate you showing up and smelling of sex.

[ and sweat. ]

[His chin tilts up, his eyes betraying some panic- she knows and she's not letting him avoid it. The corners of his lips pull back, thinning in a small amount of disgust. She must think this is really amusing, he thinks, to want to see if he'll give up. Ajax considers or for a second, will he really notice anyway? But when he thinks about it again, it's still kind of gross, so...nah.]

I'd never be so disrespectful, [he replies, pressing his forehead against hers.]

Nor am I interested in finding out what I taste like.

[If he doesn't say something now, he's doomed.]

[ her eyes ever so slightly narrow at his expression, gaze sliding over the way his lips thinly press together. looks like he's standing his ground against her, how boring, and lumine knows that she'll no doubt get more pushbacks and possibly an argument if she insists further and tries to bully him into it.

fine, she'll let it be for now. she got what she came here for, anyway, the fruit of her hard work visible on his neck. ]

I'll go first.

[ lumine pulls away from him, breaking from his grasp and getting back up to her feet. she picks up the towel he's discarded, wiping herself down again with a clean corner before padding out the study; then again, she's going to shower, anyway. ]

You can do your own thing after I'm done.

[ no guarantees she won't use up all the hot water ... ]

[Ajax immediately gets up, quickening his pace to catch up to her. He learned his lesson the first time, he won't make the same mistake again.]

Oh no you don't, [he says as he trails after her,] the last time you took a shower first, you left me with less than a few minutes of hot water. I'm either coming in with you or you're going second.

[He is not doing the cold shower thing again, and he's determined to stay hot on her heels all the way to the bathroom.]

[ omg!!

lumine glances at him over her shoulder before she quickens her pace, eventually sprinting downstairs towards the bathroom. look, the fact of the matter is that she still left something for him to use; she didn't completely use up the hot water in the bathroom. besides, it helped him that evening, didn't it? ]

No, you're not joining me! [ she yells out, her footsteps thundering across the paneled floors of the house. ] Last time you joined me, it got really messy.

[ and he got very belligerent, so no! lumine grabs onto the door handle, almost skidding onto the floor, and wrenching the bathroom door open. ]

Oh, yes I am!

[He sprints after her, determined to not let her lock the bathroom door on him and proceed to take an hour long shower. He won't be left again with cold water, it didn't help him that last evening that she did this to him, it was awful, it's not happening again!!!

Ajax throws his arms out to catch her around her waist, pulling her backwards and scooping her up before she can get inside. So now, they're going in together, and Ajax uses his foot to close the door behind them as he carries her into the bathroom.]

Now, this is what happens when you're not considerate and don't leave any hot water for me.
