Levi's voice beckoned me to the living room. As I entered, my gaze was drawn to the chessboard he positioned on the table. It was no ordinary set; the board itself exuded an air of opulent weight, the squares inlaid with what looked like polished obsidian and shimmering mother-of-pearl. The carved pieces, resting in their starting positions, hinted at the hand of a true artisan. We settled into the single chairs opposite each other. Moonlight spilled into the room, bathing everything in an ethereal glow. The cardboard maze was still there. But all distractions faded as the pale moonlight sculpted the sharp angles of Levi's face.

"Now, now," Levi murmured, as he gestured towards the chessboard. "There is a catch, my dear Raphael. Pick your poison. Degradation or praise?"

Ah. So this was the real game.

A playful smirk tugged at my lips. "Are you planning to turn our little chess lesson into some sort of elaborate foreplay?"

"Yes. But for the sake of maintaining marital decorum, let's call it… 'roleplay.' Imagine this: I am the professor, and you are my rather… unfortunate student. Now, pick your poison."

I was intrigued. On one hand, Levi's insults were always darkly amusing. On the other… my inclinations leaned towards the sweeter side of the spectrum.

"I'll call you Professor. But I'm not entirely decided on either of your… options."

"Excellent," Levi said, his smile widening. "Then we will indulge in both."

He just steamrolled ahead. But… surprisingly, I wasn't entirely opposed to his little power play.

"Alright, Professor."

"Since you've admitted your inexperience with the intricacies of this intellectual battlefield, student," Levi purred, gesturing towards the board with a languid hand, "please select the black pieces. Therefore, your initial strategic endeavor will be the rather more straightforward task of responding to my masterful attack. Consider it a… gentle introduction to the rigors of higher learning." He then crossed his long legs, settling back into his chair. He really did have that professorial aura down pat.

"Let us begin with the purest essence of the game. Chess, in its most refined and demanding form, is never a capricious dance of chance. Once the fundamental ballet of each piece – its permitted movements, its inherent limitations – is truly internalized, you possess the entirety of the foundational knowledge required. All that remains, my dear student, is the elegant and often brutal application of that understanding." With a deliberate slowness, he moved his white King's pawn forward two squares. "E2 to E4. A classic opening. Now, demonstrate your comprehension of these fundamental principles."

He's not underestimating me, exactly, but he's definitely starting with the basics, like a patient professor with a particularly slow pupil. Alright, Professor.

I moved my pawn from E7 to E5, mirroring his opening.

Levi’s lips quirked upwards. “Hm… A commendable lack of originality, student. Very well, let us proceed with this… elementary exchange. A touch of asymmetry, then, to prevent this from becoming utterly soporific.” His knight sprang from G1 to F3. “Demonstrate that your intellectual capacity extends beyond mere mimicry. Develop your forces.”

Damn. Why did his subtle barbs, disguised as professorial commentary, have this strange, almost… titillating effect? A perverse amusement was definitely taking root. I reached out and moved my knight from B8 to C6.

"A standard response, Professor."

"A commendable embrace of symmetry, student. A solid, if somewhat… predictable echo. However," he continued, "I am now duly curious to witness the extent of your originality in your subsequent response. Will you continue this… pedestrian mirroring, or will you surprise your esteemed professor with a flicker of independent thought?" With a dismissive flick, he moved his Knight from B1 to C3.

It was working on me, this strange cocktail of degradation and refined charm. A shiver ran down my spine.

I moved my Knight from G8 to F6.

He slowly placed his Bishop from F1 to C4, the distinct click of the piece against the polished wood of the board echoing in the otherwise silent room.

"A touch of… spirited defiance already? Such eagerness to embrace martyrdom, student. A commendable, if ultimately futile, trait. Allow me to impart a fundamental principle, one you would do well to internalize: in the opening stages of this intellectual duel, the objective is to develop your forces with alacrity. Or, perhaps more accurately, to develop them to the extent that your… professor deems permissible."

Alacrity in development… the bastard actually has a point. A strange mix of irritation and… arousal was swirling within me. Gods, if he were wearing glasses right now, that condescending gaze peering over the rims… it would be almost unbearable.

I placed my pawn e7 to e6.

"Ah, yes," Levi murmured, a pitying smile gracing his lips. "So predictable, yet so… fundamentally sound. A commendable, if utterly unimaginative, step in the elementary dance of chess. I trust, student, that you are not under the illusion that such… pedestrian moves will suffice against a truly masterful intellect?"

He developed his Queen from D1 to E2.

"Now," he continued. "My Queen joins the fray, adding a certain… refinement to my attack. How will you, my dear student, navigate this… slight increase in academic pressure?"

A flush was creeping up my cheeks despite myself. It was infuriating and… strangely captivating. Gods, he would be the kind of professor everyone loathed – impossibly arrogant, likely to fail half the class just for his own amusement – yet they'd all be secretly, begrudgingly charmed by his presence and that seductive air of superiority.

Levi's fingers snapped. "My student appears to be rather… preoccupied with internal musings of a distinctly unholy nature," he drawled, his smirk revealing a hint of teeth. "Perhaps the introduction of a ticking clock would serve to… sharpen your focus? A tangible reminder that even in the realm of intellectual pursuits, time marches relentlessly onward. It might also instill a more… profound appreciation for the invaluable lessons I am so generously imparting." He gestured towards the side table with a languid hand, where an antique-looking chess clock sat gleaming under the moonlight. "Shall we?"

Unholy thoughts? He has no idea. The attractive bastard. The ticking pressure… That might actually make it worse. Focus my enthusiasm? My enthusiasm is already… heightened, just not entirely on the damn board.

Did I truly want to continue this chess game? He was likely growing weary of my clumsy attempts at strategy. An impulse took hold. I walked towards Levi, and placed my hands on the back of his chair, my figure now looming over him, casting a shadow that momentarily eclipsed the gleam in his eyes.

"Oh?" Levi purred, tilting his head back slightly. "Is that defiance I detect wafting from my student?"

"No, Professor." Knowing the sensitivity of his ears, I directed my words right next to them. "You would look utterly, devastatingly hot in glasses."

"My eyesight, regrettably for your… visual preferences, remains rather sufficient to perceive this 'blunder' you seem so eager to point out, student," Levi drawled, his lips twitching ever so slightly. "Now, be a doll for your weary professor, and do sit, won't you?”

Fuck. I nearly choked on a laugh. A "blunder" pun? Really, Levi? It almost broke the spell.

"A doll for my weary professor?" I breathed softly into his ear. "Only if the professor is inclined to offer… suitable recompense for such exemplary obedience."

Levi tapped his long fingers on the chessboard, a slow burn igniting in his eyes. "Hm… What a remarkably insolent student you have proven yourself to be. Testing the boundaries of decorum at every turn. I trust, however, that your memory serves you well, student. Do you recall the… promise made last night?"

A thrill shot through me. Of course, I remembered. Finally, our long-awaited voyage was about to truly begin. It had technically started, but the Minister's untimely arrival had thrown a rather significant wrench in the works. Yes… thank you, Levi, for not forgetting. Finally. This professor-student roleplay… it absolutely had to continue in the bedroom.

…

I offered a knowing nod, and then turned to retreat to my own bedroom. The shower was a necessary prelude, a cleansing ritual before the anticipated… torment. Gods, I hoped Levi would favor something sharp and tailored – a crisp suit, perhaps? The thought alone ignited fresh desire. Why hadn't I voiced that need? Maybe a quick text wouldn't ruin the surprise.

What should I even wear? The robe felt too cliché, the t-shirt too… casual. One part of me craved the surprise, the unveiling of Levi's chosen attire. But then again… Levi, would likely relish knowing exactly what ignited my desire. The thought of him knowing, of him perhaps even having chosen his attire with my preferences in mind… that was a potent allure in itself.

My gaze swept across the contents of my wardrobe. I reached for my phone and tapped out a message to Levi.

The decision of my attire followed swiftly. Given our "student-professor" dynamic, a basic, oversized white shirt paired with black trousers felt appropriately… submissive yet subtly alluring. But then the internal debate raged anew. To tuck or not to tuck? The untucked shirt offered a more vulnerable air. Tucked in, it was sharper, more… obedient. And what about my persona? Should I play the eager student, slightly nervous yet wanting to please? Or something a little more… knowing? Gods, I wasn't usually this indecisive.

"No, no," I muttered to my reflection. I ran my fingers through my hair, disheveling it slightly. Then, I pulled the white shirt out of the sleek black trousers, letting it hang loosely. That was it. I didn't want to be the eager student. I wanted to be the delinquent asshole, the one who challenged authority, yet was smitten with the strict professor.

Perhaps a touch of deliberate insolence, might elicit an even… stricter form of discipline. A flicker of fantasy – of being made to obey, of the sting of a reprimand – ignited a fierce anticipation. Gods, yes. This felt right. Stepping out of the steamy bathroom, I made my way to Levi's bedroom door.

After a hesitant knock, Levi’s authoritative “Come” drifted from the room. I stepped inside, and a gasp caught in my throat. There he was, a vision in a black suit, the sharp lines accentuating his lean frame. It had been far too long since I'd witnessed him in formal attire, and the effect was breathtaking. He stood with his back to me, holding what appeared to be a textbook.

Damn, just look at us both. Two grown men, crafting the narrative of our own desire, making choices for this dance. To possess this freedom, this uninhibited space to articulate and explore the deepest corners of our desires, without a hint of judgment, and to find not just acceptance but enthusiastic encouragement in the other's eyes… It was endearing and undeniably arousing.

With a thwack that echoed in the silent room, Levi snapped his book shut. He turned slowly, looking at me over his shoulder. And then I saw it. The contempt in his eyes. It was ice, it was judgment, it was dismissal… and every single hair on my body stood on end. A shiver, sharp and electric, coursed through me. He knew exactly the kind of delicious degradation that sent tremors of anticipation through me.

"And you," Levi drawled, eyes sweeping disdainfully over my appearance, "you dare enter my chambers in such… a state of undress?"

Yes, Levi. This was fucking amazing. He was playing the role to perfection.

"Insolent? Perhaps," I purred, meeting his contemptuous gaze with a smile. "Or simply… honest about the thoughts that tend to consume me in your presence, Professor?"

Damn. I was good at this. The thrill of the defiance, the way it seemed to ignite something in his eyes… it was intoxicating.

Levi's lips curled. "To think," he drawled, "that the hallowed halls now fester with such delightfully disobedient specimens as yourself. Very well, student. Let us dispense with further speculation and allow me to demonstrate precisely what occupies my thoughts when confronted with such… flagrant insubordination."

Levi finally turned, a predator circling its prey. Before closing the distance between us, he leaned in. "Remember the safe words, Raphael," he instructed, his tone softening momentarily before hardening again. "And tell me… how far you are willing to delve into this little lesson. Hm? Slapping? Spitting? Utter disregard for your… sensibilities?"

"Saint and Lucent are on my mind, Professor," I whispered back. "And yes… I am more than alright with everything you've suggested. In fact…" I leaned in closer, my breath ghosting over his lips, "I find myself craving… even a little more."

The words were the green light he needed. I saw a subtle but unmistakable shift in his eyes. It was the look of someone who knew exactly how to dissect and… dismantle. Yes, Levi. Show me.

His open palm connected with my cheek. The impact, while not overtly painful resonated through my entire being. The heat bloomed on my skin where his hand had struck. A violent jolt of adrenaline surged through my veins.

He cupped my jaw, tilting my face. "Such a delicate flush, student," he murmured. "It is a shame such a… beautifully crafted instrument should be so riddled with disobedience. Hm…" His thumb brushed lightly across my lower lip. "Well then. It seems our task for the evening is clear. Let us tune this fine instrument, shall we? Bring it into perfect harmony… with my will."

Ah, that commanding yet possessive voice, the lingering sting on my cheek, the promise of further… adjustments. What a deliciously exquisite torment.

"My tuning, Professor," I repeated, tightening of my jaw, "might require a more… persistent hand. Some instruments, you see, resist easy compliance."

"Hm…" Levi mused, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Is that so?"

Then, in a move so swift and unexpected it stole my breath, he grasped both of my arms. Before I could fully register his intent, he effortlessly lifted and then threw me. Fuck. Sober Levi possessed a strength I'd often underestimated.

As I lay sprawled on the floor, utterly bewildered and, if I was being honest with myself, a significant degree more excited, Levi simply… walked over me. Not on me, damn it, though a fleeting, perverse part of me had wished for that brief pressure. He simply traversed the space my body occupied. He continued his path towards the wardrobe. Our toys. Yes. Oh, fuck yes. The anticipation coiled tight in my gut.

His hand emerged from the wardrobe clutching a sleek black leather cattle whip. Damn him. Even holding it so casually, he exuded an effortless coolness. The polished tip of his shoe tilted my jaw upward, the whip tracing a feather-light path across my cheek.

"Prone to rebellion, yet you yield so readily to a… persistent touch. Curious, truly. It seems my… foot has a certain persuasive quality you find… agreeable." He punctuated his words with an increase in pressure. Damn. He was so incredibly good at this. Utterly, devastatingly good. But he was wrong if he thought a little sting and some pressure were going to break me.

“Persuasion is an art, Professor,” I said, meeting his gaze. “Even the most persuasive arguments can be met with a compelling counterpoint.”

He leaned slightly, his pointer finger hooking and bending the the whip. The taut line, stretched and released with precision, snapped across my cheek. It was an entirely different sensation than the open-handed slap. This was a searing line of fire. He hadn't even truly struck me in the conventional sense.

Asshole. Weaponizing physics for his own amusement in the middle of our sex play.

"Hm… Little student," he purred, pressing his shoe a harder against my chin, tilting my face upwards once more. "Are we finally experiencing a moment of… contemplative silence?"

I would never forgive him for that display of applied physics during our debauchery. How dare he inject such calculated precision into our filth?

"Never, Professor," I replied, refusing to waver despite the uncomfortable pressure.

"Excellent," Levi murmured, a dangerous glint in his eyes that promised a further escalation. I had definitely poked a very large, very well-dressed bear. His hand fisted in the collar of my shirt, the fabric biting into my neck. He hauled me to my feet, before practically shoving me forward, sending me stumbling onto the edge of the bed. He had almost lifted me, like a kitten by the scruff of its neck.

The casual manhandling had been staggering. Sober Levi was an entirely different beast, a force to be reckoned with in every sense of the word.

Cold tip of the whip traced a line down the front of my trousers, coming to rest with a teasing pressure against the already prominent bulge of my arousal.

"This blatant display of vulgarity, student," Levi murmured, his gaze dropping from my eyes to the insistent straining against the fabric, a hint of disdain in his voice that only amplified the thrill. "Such undisciplined enthusiasm… How shall we possibly deal with you?"

"I don't know, Professor," I purred. "Perhaps you can conjure up some… particularly creative methods of dealing with such… enthusiasm."

Levi was visibly amused by my continued defiance, a rumble building in his chest, practically a lion's purr of satisfaction.

I was perched on the edge of the bed when his hand snaked out, his fingers clamping around my calf. The grip was tight, a painful squeeze that sent a jolt of pure exhilaration through me. With a deliberate pull, he drew me further towards the edge, ensuring my backside, made direct contact with his erection. He was as eager as I was.

Whip cracked, directly over my right nipple. A raw cry tore from my throat. Even the barrier of my shirt offered no real protection against that burning strike.

Levi traced lazy circles around my stinging nipple. "Such a… theatrical display over a mere tap," he murmured, his voice laced with mock disappointment. "Perhaps my initial assessment of your resilience was… overly generous, little student?"

"No, Professor," I gasped out, my breath coming in ragged puffs, "I wasn't being theatrical. I was merely… focusing on… your lesson." My own cock throbbed now, a dull ache of frustrated desire building with each passing moment.

My continued defiance, however, was clearly having the desired effect on Levi. The hard ridge seemed to swell even further. Then, the whip cracked through the air once more, this time lancing across my left nipple. Another raw cry escaped my lips, involuntary and visceral. Gods, what a sensation. A series of tight, spasmic contractions wracked my core as though my muscles had no autonomy of their own. Beneath the sting, a molten rush of blood surged through my veins, pounding in rhythm with the pulse of adrenaline and desire that coiled tight in my abdomen, spreading warmth and heat through my thighs.

Levi clacked his tongue dismissively. “Tch. A mere two strikes and you’re already a whimpering, gasping mess? Honestly, little student, where do you imagine you are? Did you somehow misconstrue this as an exercise in your pleasure?” He punctuated his words with a sharp crack of the whip against my outer thigh.

The impact, while less acutely painful than the searing strikes across my chest, still landed with a shocking thud. The unexpectedness of it stole my breath, eliciting another involuntary gasp. Gods, the way he treated me—casual, dismissive, as if I were nothing more than a mildly irritating distraction—wove a dark spell. Every word, every strike, fanned the fire.

“I’m not whimpering, Professor,” I managed, breath hitching, voice tight with defiance. “I am capable of handling a far more rigorous examination.”

"Still defiant, student?" Levi purred, a dangerous amusement dancing in his eyes. "Delicious."

His open palm cracked against my other cheek. I hadn't anticipated that at all. But even the stinging surprise couldn't extinguish the thrill that coursed through me. I knew he was being… strategic. The slap, while sharp and loud, lacked the full force of his earlier blows, clearly aimed to leave no lasting marks on visible areas. Ah, my thoughtful lion.

"Is my professor… exercising a certain discretion?" I purred, arching my hips against the hard length of his erection pressing into my backside. "How… considerate. However, this student is… eager for a more comprehensive examination."

Levi, who usually savored slow burn was operating on a different tempo tonight. Perhaps the tension from our chess game had ignited a more immediate fire within him. His rumbling purr of excitement was practically a tangible thing.

Then, just as I braced for another slap, the whip sliced the air—crack—and carved a molten stripe across my ribs. Then a second, then a third, all landing so fast they blurred. Levi spaced them perfectly: close enough to burn, never enough to bleed.

My thoughtful lion, indeed.

Beneath the sting of the whips, beneath the thrill of Levi’s absolute control, an even deeper, primal need pulsed through me. I wanted him buried deep inside me. I craved the friction, the release, the utter surrender of my orgasm. My cock throbbed, achingly hard, practically screaming for his touch. How to coax him? A direct request would be met with another sharp lash, a condescending remark. More defiance? That only fueled his amusement. Think, horny brain, think. I needed something… drastic, something to shatter our dance and push us both over the edge. Subtle grinding against him wouldn’t work; his self-control was legendary.

Ah… Why do I always manage to overlook this crucial detail? Levi isn't a sadist; the thrill for him lies in the wielding of power itself, regardless of its specific manifestation. This elaborate dance we're engaged in is likely orchestrated primarily for my enjoyment. I could simply ask him. But… where's the fun in simple?

I leaned forward until my lips hovered millimeters from his trousers. “Please, Professor…” I murmured, my breath ghosting over the fabric. The tip of my nose traced the length of his swelling hardness. “To be held this intimately captive… and yet denied… it is a uniquely exquisite form of torture.”

Levi set the whip on the bedside drawer. My breath hitched, a silent plea in my chest. But the drawer remained closed. A knot of apprehension tightened in my stomach. Raw? No—Levi always prioritized safety and pleasure. So… what was he planning?

Before I could voice my unspoken question, Levi moved with forceful intent. His hands clamped on my thighs, fingers digging in as he pulled me closer until his hardness pressed against my backside. Then, he began to hump, a slow grind that sent jolts of friction and heat through the thin fabric.

A low moan escaped my lips, involuntary and raw. Fuck. He wasn’t even doing anything elaborate – just the stinging aftermath of the whips, the possessive grip on my thighs, and the insistent, dry friction against my backside. Yet, a molten heat was already coiling deep within me, threatening to consume me.

Could I really cum from just this? From the dry, insistent rubbing? Was I truly this easily undone? A wave of self-reproach crashed through me, quickly overtaken by an even sharper spike of arousal.

Just as my mind spiraled into a vortex of self-doubt and burgeoning lust, the pressure on one of my thighs vanished. A different pressure landed: my throat. Here it comes. I knew it. He was going to push me past the edge.

His thumb and forefinger tightened around my neck, a restricting hold that made every nerve scream. Each fleeting second of oxygen deprivation sent sparks through my core, my orgasm clawing closer, inexorable. Fuck me. Reduced to a panting, whimpering mess by dry humping and a simple choke.

My vision swam at the edges, tiny pinpricks of light dancing in the periphery. His fingers on my throat tightened, a silent command to surrender. And surrender I did.

A shudder ripped through me from deep inside, radiating outward. Hips bucking, body convulsing, a desperate plea for more. The heat between my legs reached its peak, and then it broke—my first orgasm cascading through me, violent and consuming. Muscles clenched spasmodically around nothing but air and fabric.

Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes, a mixture of the intense sensation and the humiliatingly easy way he had brought me to the edge.

When the first wave subsided, Levi released my throat. The rush of air filled my lungs in a sharp gasp.

“Gods…” I breathed, still trembling, the echo of my phantom orgasm lingering. “Without even… penetration… just friction… the… sensation…”

"Oh?" Levi drawled, a sardonic edge to his voice. "Suddenly you believe you deserve the full experience now, do you? Weren't you the one so eager for me to 'disregard' your comfort?"

"Levi… I am simply… taken aback. Shocked, even."

A beat of silence hung in the air between us. I could sense a shift in his demeanor, a momentary uncertainty. Perhaps my raw admission had surprised him. Truthfully, I was still processing it myself.

He settled beside me, the same hand that had wielded the whip and taken my breath now gentle on the crown of my head. His fingers threaded through my hair, deliberate and soothing. “Shocked, my dear?” he murmured, his voice softening into a low timbre. “Tell me. Explain what has you so… discomposed.”

“It’s just…” I hesitated, pressing closer against him, “I’m not some teenager… but I just… came. Fully clothed. From dry humping. My pride… it feels a little bruised.”

"And is there something inherently wrong with that, my dear?" he asked softly. "You have always possessed a certain… fervent impatience. And tonight we were both… exceptionally enthusiastic, weren't we?"

He's being… kind. Understanding. Not mocking. That almost makes it worse. My pride was wounded. I wanted the full experience, the deep, intimate slide, skin against skin. To come from just… rubbing… felt almost cheap.

I shifted, resting my head on his lap. “My fierce lion has suddenly turned gentle,” I murmured, a playful edge to my voice. “Either you’re soothing my wounded ego, or you’re genuinely puzzled by my reaction.”

"A bit of both, my dear," Levi admitted, his fingers continuing their soothing journey through my hair. "The path we take may sometimes diverge from the expected, but the ultimate destination remains the same, does it not? Therefore, I confess, I do not entirely grasp the source of your discomfort."

Is it the lack of intimacy? The feeling of being so easily brought to the edge? He doesn't seem to care. He's just… stroking my hair. Like I'm a wounded animal. Or… something precious.

“No,” I admitted softly, nuzzling against him, “it’s just… my ego, a little more fragile than I’d like to admit. But… this,” I sighed, content, “this feels nice too.”

“Hm…” Levi mused, his voice thoughtful. "We can certainly be gentle, then. I must confess, I am still navigating the landscape of my own desires. We only truly explored my… inclinations once, and that was before my time in rehab. The subsequent period of… abstinence from even fantasy has left me somewhat uncertain. To be perfectly honest, I experience sexual desire, certainly… but it seems inextricably linked to you. The idea of conjuring images of others and feeling any semblance of arousal… it simply doesn't happen. It makes the whole concept of labeling my sexual identity… rather difficult."

"Rehab really did strip away the pretense, didn't it, Levi?" I murmured, my fingers instinctively tracing the strong line of his jaw. "But this whole label discussion… we've been through this. Don't you see? We don't need one. We are simply… us. Our own unique dynamic."

"Honestly," he sighed softly, his stroking never ceasing, "perhaps. The boredom and the crushing loneliness of that place left my mind with little else to do but wander. It dredged up many long-forgotten thoughts, things that had been obscured by the chemical haze. Sobriety has also… lessened my tolerance for the general populace, I've discovered. It's not stress or anxiety I feel, but a persistent sense of… annoyance, an almost visceral discomfort with the mere presence of others. I already possessed an aversion to unsolicited physical touch, to the violation of my personal space, but rehab seems to have amplified it tenfold. Your touch, however…" His voice deepened slightly. "Your touch is… an entirely different matter."

A flutter ignited in my chest.

“Ah, my gentle lion…” I breathed, inhaling the scent of his suit, savoring the warmth beneath my cheek.

Gods, rehab must have been even more brutal than I ever truly grasped. And I… I left him to face it all alone. No. Stop. Don't go down that rabbit hole. The past is a minefield best left untouched right now.

“Levi…” I murmured, shifting until the back of my skull pressed against the ridge of his arousal. “Do you… want to continue?”

A genuine smile softened his intensity. “Please, my dear,” he replied, his voice regaining its familiar dry wit. “Get me out of this infernal suit. This… sartorial prison has become unbearable.”

I love his drama so much. And yes. It would be lovely to undress him.

As dawn painted the sky with hues of rose and gold, the discarded remnants of our attire lay scattered like fallen flags on a battlefield of pleasure. Every touch, every sigh, every sharp command and shiver of surrender still lingered in the air.

But as the first rays of the sun kissed his sculpted features, illuminating the lingering shadows of passion in his eyes, it became undeniably clear. One night was prologue. The map of our desires was far more complex, the terrain more varied, demanding countless more nights to fully chart its depths and discover the perfect equilibrium where our needs and pleasures intertwined in perfect harmony. The quest for our balance had only just begun.
