“We only have one shot at this. Let’s make it count.”
Detective Kwon took point on the operation. Her primary focus was staring at rows of monitors in the back of a large unmarked van parked stealthily miles away from the destination. Overhead shots were displayed on the largest monitor, giving a full view of the target area - a luxurious white mansion housed the patriarch of the Goda clan, given the information Eunbi received was correct. 
You lost track of how many hours you had occupied, only accompanied by Detectives Hyewon, with newly dyed blonde hair and Eunbi inside a hot van, waiting for just the right moment to strike. Your job was to give any details that would be helpful and to help confirm identities. 
The surveillance van had more technology in it than your entire University’s expensive computer lab. Extensive audio feeds, LCD monitors everywhere giving as many angles as possible, speakers, and multiple laptops that could power a space station all created the perfect portable setup. Eunbi sat up front, monitoring everything, and aiding in preparation. 
“Team one, do you copy?” Eunbi asked over a bluetooth headset she wore on her right ear. 
“Yes, boss. We have eyes on the back entrance. Nobody has gone in or out since we’ve been here.”
“Team two, what do you have for me?” 
“Can’t see much. There’s been no movement on our end.” 
“Keep a lookout. I don’t want anyone getting spooked.”
“Yes, boss.” 
“Team three?”
“Our drones are in the air, but the fog is killing visibility. Can’t get a good visual so we’ll have to almost exclusively rely on thermal. ”
“Do what you can.” 
“This better work,” Hyewon said, shifting in one of the backseat chairs nervously. 
“Dojima has been our information expert for years, he wouldn’t fail us now.”
Eunbi took a long deep breath as she pulled up cameras on two large screens, showing views on both front and back entrances and views of each team awaiting orders.
“On my mark, breach and clear. We want him alive,” Eunbi said.
“Go!”
The simultaneous thud of doors being forced open boomed through the van’s speakers, speeding your heart rate up. The audio feed went silent for a second before being replaced with windows being broken, voices shouting, and inaudible commotion. You expected more. No gunshots, no more yelling. Everything was silent. 
“Team one, what’s your status? I need an update.”  
Nothing but radio silence filled the van as you collectively held your breath and waited for an answer. 
“Detective Kwon, there’s nobody inside. Place looks lived in but it’s been cleared out.” 
“Son of a bitch!” Eunbi hissed. 
“All rooms are clear, Detective. There’s nobody here.” “Those motherfuckers set us up. Check for hidden exits. I want this whole place checked.” 
“What do we do now?” Hyewon asked. 
“We’re back from square one. We figure out they knew we were coming, and where we go from here.” 
“Team three, I want you to stay overnight in case they decide to come back. Team one and two you’re dismissed.”
“Understood.”
Eunbi took her headset off and angrily tossed it away, sighing in frustration. 
“Sorry I couldn’t be of any use, Detective,” you said. 
“Don’t be sorry, if anything you got us to this point to begin with,” Eunbi replied. 
“Back to the office?” Hyewon asked. 
“No, that’s the last place I want to be right now. It’s late and we’ve been here all damn day. For nothing.” 
Eunbi rubbed her temple as she sank back in her chair. 
"I've got a cabinet full of alcohol if you wanna crash at my place, boss,” Hyewon said. 
Eunbi hesitated before answering, taking in a deep breath and letting it out slowly. 
“That sounds like exactly what I need. We’ll deal with this on Monday, let’s get the fuck out of here.” 
                                                          ✦✦
Hyewon keyed in the security code to her place and you and Eunbi followed her inside, slipping shoes off at the entryway. You sat down on the couch next to Hyewon while Eunbi took a moment to look over the place. 
“You’ve decorated since the last time I was here,” Eunbi said, wandering and looking aimlessly.
“I have company now, I can’t live like a slob, boss.” 
“You really don’t have to call me boss outside of work. Unnie will be fine.” 
“Okay, unnie.”
“How has everything been going?” Eunbi asked, directing her attention towards you. “I know we said it would be just for a month, but with everything going on I’m afraid it’s going to be longer. I seem to be really bad at keeping my promises.”
“It was awkward at first, but Hyewon is very easy to talk to and get along with. I won’t mind living longer here, Hyewon has been very accommodating, I’ve even picked up a few cooking tips from her.” 
 Eunbi smiled. “That’s good to hear. Hyewon loves to cook as much as she loves to eat.”
“She’s really good at eating,” you said.
“Yes, she really is,” Eunbi said with a smirk as she sat down. Hyewon caught on quickly and got up embarrassed, heading into the kitchen to fetch drinks. 
“Unnie, what are you in the mood to drink? Beer, wine?” 
“Something strong,” Eunbi replied. 
“How strong?” Hyewon asked. 
“Strong enough to slap me across the face.” 
“Uh, we have Tequila. Is that strong enough?” 
“Yes, that’s perfect.” 
“Ok, but I’m making cocktails, I don’t want anyone to get carried away.” 
“Make mine a double then.” 
Eunbi drifted her gaze over to you as she sat down and crossed her legs, flashing a flirtatious gaze.
“Have you settled into living with Hyewon?”
“Mostly. There haven't been any troubles at all, she’s very easy to live with.” 
“That’s very good to hear, she’s such a sweetie.” 
“She is.”
“Unnie, stop being nosy!” Hyewon whined as she brought a tray of drinks and set it down on the black coffee table in front. 
“I was just trying to see how you’ve been treating our guest.”
“I have been nothing but an understanding host, isn’t that right?” 
“Of course. Hyewon has been wonderful.” 
Grabbing a drink and taking your first sip, you coughed at how strong it was, but soon the burn down your throat became refreshing. 
“I hope we can find whoever tipped us off,” Hyewon said. 
Eunbi rolled her eyes. “Please, can we not talk about work for once?” 
Hyewon nodded apologetically. “Sorry, unnie. Of course.” 
“This is really good,” you said, taking another large sip. 
“It is. Our Hyewon really is multi-talented.” 
“It’s not that big of a deal. I learned a few things in culinary school.” 
You could feel the collective stress leaving the room as the three of you indulged into the strong drinks Hyewon had prepared. Shaking the glass a few times to evenly spread out the ice you took another drink, getting used to the taste. 
“Now that I’m drinking, I guess I should be responsible tonight. I’ll sleep on the couch if that’s okay,” Eunbi said. 
“The couch?” Hyewon repeated. “There’s a spare bed, you don’t need to do that, unnie.” 
Eunbi tilted her head. “Spare bed? If I remember correctly your place only has two rooms, right?” 
“That’s right. Two bedrooms, but we’ve been sharing the bed at night,” she said, as she realized what she was admitting halfway.
“Oh, you have been?” Eunbi laughed. “That explains why you’ve been coming in late more often,” she teased. 
Hyewon turned red. “U-unnie! That’s not what I...I’m gonna go make another drink.” 
She hastily got off the couch as Eunbi filled in the gap, scooting over as she finished her drink, placing it on the coffee table.
“She’s always been like that.” 
“Like what?” you asked. 
“Shy and adorable, ever since I met her. We’re all adults here, so there’s no shame in talking about it.” 
 “Everyone has their limits about what they’re comfortable about I guess.”
“That’s true. I’m just an open book.”
Hyewon returned and refused to make eye contact.
“Ah, Hyewon, I forgot to bring anything to sleep in tonight. Can I borrow some clothes?” 
“Clothes? Don’t you usually sleep naked, unnie?” she responded. You nearly choked on your drink.
Eunbi smiled before she responded. “You’re right...but I’m just a guest here. I have to look presentable.” 
“Why? He’s already seen you naked before hasn’t he?” Hyewon teased back.
“Guess you got me there,” Eunbi replied with reddened cheeks. 
You sat there listening as the two beautiful detectives playfully teased each other back and forth while you nursed your cocktail, trying not to let it hit you all at once. It was tempting to go for another drink given the day's events, wanting to forget the failed operation. Finishing your drink and chewing on a piece of melting ice you rested it on the coffee table. 
The living room clock showed it was just after 1 a.m. Still rather early or late in the morning depending on your perspective.  
"So, Hyewon,” Eunbi said.
“Yes, unnie?” Hyewon perked up. 
“I don’t think we’ve properly thanked our mutual friend for everything he’s done for us.” 
Hyewon put her drink down. “We do owe him a lot. Even though nothing went as planned today, we never would have gotten to that point to begin with.”
The two women shared a look that was directed at you. “Keeping me safe is enough thanks, ladies.” 
“Oh no, that’s just part of our jobs,” Eunbi said. “I think we personally need to show our appreciation.”
Eunbi began caressing your shoulder, and you were thankful that you had been drinking already. 
“You’ve been so helpful, and we should return the favor.” 
“That’s not really necessary,” you humbly said. 
“Oh, but it really is,” Eunbi said, scooting closer to your body, gesturing for Hyewon to do the same, who changed places to your left side. Syncing their movements each woman moved and straddled one of your thighs as your heart started racing. 
Eunbi made the first move, cupping your face and hesitated for a moment. Her gaze lingered on you as she leaned in and your lips merged, filling you with the sweet taste of her as the warmth of her soft lips pressed against your own.
“If you insist, Detective.” 
“Detective? That’s much too formal,” Eunbi said as she caressed your hair.
“Eunbi is fine,” she paused. “But what I really like to be called... is Mommy.” 
“Oh god, not this again,” Hyewon spoke out in annoyance. “Not everyone wants to call you that.”
“Maybe not everyone...but you’ll call me mommy won’t you?” She asked as she turned her attention towards you. 
“I’ll call you anything you want. Mommy.”
Eunbi gave one more kiss against your lips, deeper and with more hunger. Not wanting to be left out, Hyewon tilted your head towards hers and gave you a chaste kiss of her own, the contrast in their lips enticing. Eunbi had thinner lips, Hyewon’s lips were plumper and fuller, while both had an incredible softness and warmth with their own distinctive unique taste. 
The two of them looked at you as if deciding what they wanted to do, pondering their moves. Eunbi didn’t need much time as she removed her shirt, and the purple lace bra that covered up her huge full breasts became the focus of your attention. 
“You can touch mommy all you want,” Eunbi said and you didn’t need to be told twice, running your hands up her body, feeling the tightness of her toned tummy as your hands wandered on their own to her chest, fondling her massive breasts through her bra. 
Not wanting to be outdone, Hyewon removed her own top, her much smaller, but no less satisfying breasts were visible. With a quick movement of her fingers, her bra was unclasped, and bare breasts exposed as she cupped them, enticing you to dive in. 
Starting at Hyewon’s sensitive neck you peppered her soft skin in kisses, hearing her softly moan as you moved down her chest, leaving a trail just below her collarbone. Looking into her eyes for a second you squeezed her breasts before bringing your lips to her nipples and sucking, hearing her sweet moans as you sucked on her soft pale tits. 
Eunbi couldn’t handle being left out, and out of the corner of your eye you could see her slipping out of her bra, her pale tits exposed stopped you in your path. 
“You like mommy’s tits better don’t you?” Eunbi playfully asked, giving out a moan as she pinched her own nipples. You sucked Hyewon’s tits for a few more seconds before hastily switching your interest to Eunbi’s chest. 
“Unnie, you’re playing dirty,” Hyewon complained.
“I can’t help what I was born with,” she smirked, proud at how much bigger her breasts were. You planted several kisses on each of her pillowy soft tits and Eunbi ran her fingers through your hair, smiling sweetly. Licking stripes up her cleavage you flicked your tongue against each nipple, teasing each just a bit before sucking on them, letting out a noisy slurp. 
“Mmm, baby, that feels good.” 
Hyewon looked on patiently, trying to stave off her jealousy. You couldn’t help but moan as you sucked Eunbi’s tits, playing with her sensitive pink nipples and burying yourself into her deep cleavage, a warmth you didn’t dare leave. 
“Mommy’s tits are so amazing,” you said, slurping on her hardened nipples and watching her pleasure as you did so, biting them gently as Eunbi gasped in pleasure. Alternating sucking on each of Eunbi’s delicious breasts you kept them in your mouth until her pink nipples became swollen and glazed with your wet saliva, keeping yourself fed with the taste and softness of her flesh and the way her pretty pink nipples fit perfectly in your mouth. 
Nothing would keep you from sucking on them, not wanting your mouth to leave them but also not wanting to leave Hyewon out. 
You feasted on each pair of scrumptious tits and gave them equal attention, moving back and forth between the delicious chests of each busty woman and didn't want to stop until your lips were numb. 
“I still can’t get over how big they are,” Hyewon said, the envy in her voice obvious.
“Yours aren’t that bad either, Hyewon,” Eunbi responded. 
“You’re just trying to make me feel better, unnie.” 
“I’m not, you agree right, baby?” 
“Your tits are really nice too, Hyewon.” 
“Nobody can compare to yours though, I can't even fully get my hands on them,” Hyewon pouted. 
“It just means there’s more of them to go around,” Eunbi grinned, as if sending an invitation. Both of you teamed up on Eunbi’s tits, each taking one of her swollen breasts in your mouth and sucking, causing deep moans to escape from her. Hyewon was gentle while you devoured Eunbi’s tits, hungrily slurping and biting as if you were trying to satisfy your insatiable hunger for her big milky breasts. 
Keeping your tongues and lips all over Eunbi's swollen pink nipples they became drenched in the combination of your saliva, her pretty moans were music to your ears, earning more with each second that passed. 
As much as you loved teaming up to taste Eunbi, you soon became their focus, feeling the wet smack of their warm soft lips as each gorgeous woman took their time to kiss you, leaving their taste locked on your lips. 
If that wasn’t enough, they turned and playfully kissed each other, leaving you to patiently watch every movement as their lips smacked loudly and both grabbed a handful of each other's supple bare breasts. 
The two lustful vixens switched it up and turned the tables on you. Both took a side of your neck and planted their lips on your skin, sucking both sides of your neck deeply with the intention to leave love marks. 
The two warm mouths pressed on your neck sucking heavily entranced you into a daze, and you barely felt a hand cupping your crotch, too crippled by their effect on you to see the culprit. 
“Mommy can you feel your cock getting hard for us," Eunbi whispered, blowing hot air into your ear that made you shiver. 
“We both want to make you feel good,” Hyewon said. 
Giving your crotch a good firm squeeze, your lap was soon empty and the action kept on moving right in front of you. Running their hands all over each other's tight bodies, Eunbi made quick work of stripping Hyewon to her panties, and Hyewon returned the favor as they both knelt in front of you, eyeing the bulge in your pants they had created. 
With Hyewon to your left and Eunbi to your right, they gave each other a playful look before working together to unbutton your pants, working quickly and yanking them off with your boxers, your hardened shaft introducing itself and throbbing freely. 
Eunbi jumped the gun and took the liberty to play with Hyewon’s chest, earning a moan from her as she sucked on her round pale tits, taking her first taste of the night and sending even more blood flowing to your already stiff erection. 
"Have some confidence, Hyewon, your tits are yummy."
“Unnie…”
“Now go on, Hyewon, show us what you’ve learned.” 
Hyewon nervously smiled and leaned forward, taking your cock into her cold delicate hand and wrapping her fingers around it. She licked it more naturally this time, starting at the base of your shaft and dragging her wet tongue upwards until she reached your swollen tip, swirling around it mindlessly and giving a wet kiss on it. 
Eunbi followed her lead, her tongue on one side while Hyewon mirrored the other, both women painting your hard shaft with their wet flattened tongues, before ascending on your tip and licking up against it, causing you to groan.
The two beautiful women on their knees for you wandered their tongues all over your shaft, not missing a spot before syncing back up and licking your swollen head, both hitting all the right spots, their touch driving you crazy. 
"F-fuck," you moaned to their delight, going crazy at the intense pleasure already. You felt a hand fondling your balls and jerked abruptly, earning a pretty smile from Eunbi. 
"They feel so heavy and full," Eunbi said as she kissed each one, grazing her cute nose against them. 
Hyewon looked for approval, meeting the gaze of Eunbi. Without another word Hyewon licked her lips and parted them with your sensitive tip, taking you into her radiating warm mouth. 
You moaned loudly at the softness of Hyewon’s plump lips as she sucked your tip gently, eyes looking up. Eunbi watched as Hyewon sucked you off, the pleasure of her wet mouth enveloping your shaft. 
“You’re getting good at this," Eunbi said as she smiled. She brought her mouth to your balls, blowing her hot breath against your sack before delicately kissing and licking them. 
"I love how sensitive you get," Eunbi said, licking turning into sucking as her soft lips tenderly slurped your balls one at a time, the double pleasure from each woman overwhelming your senses. 
Hyewon's lips slid deeper, her tongue licking your underside as Eunbi's lips sucked your balls more forcibly, covering them in saliva as she rested a hand on your thigh, stimulating you more by digging her nails into your skin. 
It was as if they were competing to give the most pleasure, not wanting to back down. Eunbi took your cock into her needy familiar mouth, sucking with such force you felt like you might pass out. Hyewon did not keep her mouth empty as she mirrored Eunbi’s earlier movements, gently sucking on your balls, both women eagerly to milk you dry it seemed. 
“Fuck...you’re both amazing at this,” you groaned, and you were met with faster movements.
The difference in experience and techniques was immediately apparent. Hyewon's lack of expertise allowed her to take things slowly, but she couldn't take more than half your cock down her throat, instead focusing on sucking you off more sensually. 
Eunbi was the opposite, proudly able and willing to take all of your cock down her warm throat, deepthroating with ease and sucked rapidly and messily. Both were pleasurable, and feeling the contrast of both as they switch back and forth, practically fighting over your cock drove you insane. 
“Don’t be selfish, unnie, " Hyewon whined as Eunbi devoured your cock down her throat, sliding her lips in long smooth strokes from base to tip, showing off her lack of gag reflex. She was so messy that saliva spilled out of the corners of her mouth and dripped down to her huge tits, the sight arousing you even more.
You held the back of Eunbi's head and pushed her down your base, moaning needily as her throat tightened, slurping on every inch of your shaft while Hyewon kept her mouth full of your heavy balls, trying to learn how best to pleasure them. 
"Mommy loves this cock," Eunbi hummed, and in response Hyewon forcibly stole it from her, the elder shooting a deadly look. 
"Do you really think you can make him cum with this lousy blowjob?" Eunbi hissed, as she went back to work on your balls, lathering them up with her warm saliva and slurping loudly. 
Hyewon sucked faster as a response, moving past her usual threshold and gagging as a result. Eunbi eyed her, watching her take more and more until her lips almost met your base, but retreating at the last moment as she coughed. 
"It's okay, Hyewon, not everyone can be as good as me."
Hyewon cursed under her breath, only motivated by her unnie’s pitiful attempts to incite and dove back in. She didn't care how much she gagged, Eunbi wasn't going to show her up. Starting halfway, Hyewon took as much as she could before retreating, reaching a new point each time. 
"You must like choking on that dick, huh? You sound really pretty when you gag on it, I think you could use some help though," Eunbi said as she grabbed the younger girl by the head and forced her down your base, increasing her gagging sounds and your pleasure. 
Hyewon’s eyes went wide as Eunbi fucked her throat with your cock, not used to her mouth so completely stuffed that she couldn't help feel overwhelmed. 
"Breathe through your nose, baby," Eunbi cooed as she roughly shoved her down all the way at the end of your cock, causing you to gasp and groan loudly. 
"There we go, that's how you do it. Mommy is a good teacher isn’t she?” 
Eunbi smirked as she continued her relentless use of Hyewon’s mouth, not letting up for a single moment, testing her gag reflexes and making her take you as deep as possible until she signaled that she had enough. 
"Unnie!" Hyewon yelled as she gasped for air, wiping drool off her chin and using it to jerk off your cock. 
"This is what you wanted right? To prove you were better?" 
Hyewon ignored her and focused on your cock, licking it wildly.
"Prove it then. Finish him off," Eunbi encouraged. 
Hyewon didn't back down even though she couldn't stop herself from gagging, she was determined. Her soft plump lips kissed the end of your base as your cock hit the back of her throat, but she didn’t give up.
"Fuck…Hyewon…"
Hyewon bobbed her head as she worked her magic in between your legs, slurping and sucking the life out of your cock. Eunbi was more than content to take a backseat, gently massaging your balls as she watched on. 
"There you go, baby, doing such a good job. Empty those heavy balls and suck him dry," Eunbi demanded. 
Hyewon looked straight ahead with a mouth full of cock, her innocent sparkling eyes glued to your own as she was prepared to drain you. Her wet full lips were sealed tight around your shaft, the sounds of her slurping every inch to try and earn your approval was far too much. 
"Ah, fuck, Hyewon. I'm gonna fucking cum."
The duo smiled as you felt your limits being hit, your breathing weakening, and your balls tightening. 
It wasn’t much longer as you felt your climax arriving, tightly grabbing the back of Hyewon’s head as you throbbed inside her mouth and erupted, flooding her throat with copious amounts of your hot cum. 
Your orgasm took over your body as you continued pumping your thick load into the back of Hyewon’s throat, grunting with every spurt that released from your shaft. 
Hyewon handled it well at first, but the more you came the more difficult it became for her as your load began spilling out of her mouth, too much for her to contain. 
"Amateur," Eunbi said. "You shouldn't waste a single drop of his delicious cum.”
Your intense orgasm mercifully came to a halt and Hyewon's lips squeezed tight around your still throbbing shaft, ensuring everything had been milked out of you. 
"There was so much, holy shit," Hyewon said while trying to talk with a mouth full of cum as she removed her lips from your cock, sliding her fingers around your shaft to make sure nothing was left. 
"Show it, baby. Show us how much you made him cum."
Hyewon complied as she opened her mouth for all to see, revealing a thick white pool that had been deposited on her tongue. 
"Swallow it," Eunbi demanded. It took more than one gulp, but Hyewon tilted her head back in satisfaction and opened her now empty mouth, displaying her wet pink tongue to confirm your load was now inside her stomach.
"Good girl," Eunbi purred as she began cleaning up drops of cum that spilled out of Hyewon’s mouth. 
"Mommy has to do this because you couldn't handle such a huge load," she sighed, licking your shaft clean of every spilled drop, taking your tip into her warm mouth and sucking it clean, your sensitivity arousing her. 
“How was it?” Eunbi asked as she made sure to not miss anything, jerking your cock off slowly as your body trembled with the aftershocks of your climax. 
Taking a moment to catch her breath, she licked her lips before answering. “Yummy.”
Letting go of your cock Eunbi licked her lips and fingers clean, sucking on them lewdly with each one making a loud pop. 
"Hyewon and I are going to have some fun in the bedroom. Come join us when you're ready."
                                                            ✦✦
It took a while to finish gathering your senses, catching your breath as you clutched a pillow to your chest. You rested on the couch for several minutes, waiting for your breathing to stabilize. 
Aiding your recovery you downed a glass of ice water in one go, taking another deep breath and as you let it out you heard a sound in the distance that broke the silence. A loud, feminine moan, that you couldn’t quite figure out who the owner was. 
The closer you got to the bedroom the louder the moaning got. Opening the door to your room and the bed you shared with Hyewon left you with an empty dark room as you closed the door and headed down the hallway, down into Hyewon’s actual bedroom. 
“Oh fuck!” you heard crying out behind the shut door, feeling your heart beating faster as the voice became unmistakable as belonging to Hyewon. 
Taking a breath you gently grabbed the handle and turned it as you were greeted with an unforgettable sight. 
With just one lamp illuminating the room on the left side of the bed, you walked in to find a set of panties left in the middle of the floor and found Hyewon’s naked body sprawled out and holding on to the headboard for dear life. 
Neither of the two women noticed your arrival. Eunbi was too preoccupied with having her head buried in between Hyewon’s naked thighs, rubbing at her core and devouring the writhing blonde. 
“Nice of you to join us finally,“ Eunbi said as she held onto Hyewon’s flushed thighs, eating her pussy out like she had skipped an entire week's worth of meals. The sight of Eunbi making Hyewon an absolute mess brought your erection back to full hardness right away. 
“Since this bed doesn’t get used anymore I figured it was a good place to start since you two haven’t defiled it yet.”
“Hey!” Hyewon protested, but any further complaints were drowned out by her whimpering moans. 
“It’s a shame I left my handcuffs back at work,” Eunbi said. “You’d really be squirming right now.”
Eunbi continued her assault on the younger woman’s body, her tongue deep inside Hyewon’s pussy and lapping up all her juices liberally leaking from her spread thighs. 
“Are you just going to stare at my ass all day?” Eunbi asked annoyed. 
“Is that an option?” You fired back playfully.
“No. Don’t make me be the only one doing the work here.” 
“But you’re doing such a good job, I’d hate to distract you.” 
“Enough. Mommy wants that cock.” 
It had been far too long since you had fucked Eunbi, and you weren’t going to keep her waiting as you climbed the bed, staring at the view before doing anything else. Kneeling behind her tight round ass you quickly tugged her thong off her full curvy hips, down her toned legs, and tossed it away.  
You felt hypnotized by the pink glistening flesh in between her thighs, giving Eunbi’s ass a firm squeeze, her velvety cheeks felt so good against your palms as you lined your cock against Eunbi’s opening, feeling the heat radiating as an invitation.
“U-unnie, that feels so good,” Hyewon moaned, gripping the headboard even tighter. You prepared yourself to enter the oldest of the two busty women, spreading her thick thighs and looking down at her wet pussy that looked so damn inviting. 
Running your cock up and down Eunbi’s pink wet slit, you took a deep breath before pushing in slowly and parting her wet flesh with your cock, being met by her intense warmth as you entered Eunbi once more, the feeling of her pussy even better this time. 
You groaned needily as your tip disappeared inside Eunbi’s warm walls, and then pushed deeper inside her until you were halfway inside. She looked back, her eyes telling you to get on with it already. In one stroke you used your hips and gave Eunbi what she wanted, your whole shaft was inside her warmth, the slick of her walls gripping tight around your shaft and refusing to let go.
You watched Eunbi make an absolute mess out of Hyewon as you held to her perfect wide hips, slowly began pumping inside her, feeling her pussy swallowing your cock and lighting your senses on fire as you began to fuck her from behind. 
Having experienced Eunbi in this position already you knew she liked it rough, giving her plump ass a loud slap as you thrusted deep, using your hips to establish a fast and steady rhythm. 
“You’re so fucking tight, mommy,” you said, giving her ass repeated spanks as you began pounding into her pussy, the wet flesh wrapped around your cock squeezing even tighter with every thrust. 
Eunbi wasn’t able to moan freely as she slurped and feasted on Hyewon’s delicious pussy, but you could tell from the way her body reacted to you that she was in love with what you were doing to her. 
It was hard to comprehend what was happening. Pounding into Eunbi as she ate out another woman was heavenly, and it helped that the same woman was one you had slept with already and had become very close in every sense of the word. Hyewon was certainly dripping between her thighs, but the juices coming out of Eunbi’s tight hole certainly matched the youngest, allowing you to thrust as deep as you needed into the older detective with ease.  
It didn’t take long until a trio of moans filled the room, the wet squelch of Eunbi’s hot flesh being driven into harshly caused her body to slam against Hyewon’s sensitive clit, turning her into an even louder, needier mess. 
Eunbi felt even tighter than when you had fucked her in the interrogation room, her pussy so hot and tight and wet around you just wanted to ravage her until neither of you could walk in the morning. 
"Baby, your cock feels amazing inside me. You like mommy’s tight pussy?" Eunbi asked. 
“Y-yes, mommy. You’re so wet. “ you moaned and in response and upped your pace even faster, her pussy gripping your shaft so tightly it almost hurt. 
The smack of your hips against Eunbi’s voluptuous ass was the sound you loved to hear, causing her soft flesh to ripple beautifully in time with each thrust, drilling into her with such aggression that caused the bed to shake in protest, earning higher muffled moans from her and giving one more slap on her beautiful ass.
“Mommy loves being spanked, don’t stop baby.”
“Unnie, you’re such a slut,” Hyewon teased, as you gave harsh hits to Eunbi’s soft bottom, trying to leave your handprints on both cheeks. 
“Me? Because I know what I like? If I remember you were the one who jerked a guy off you met at work for not even five minutes.” 
“Hey! I was curious and he was cute. It’s not my fault.” 
“Not so innocent are you, slut?” Eunbi fired back, slurping on her folds and bringing two and then three fingers deep inside her cunt, eating her out without a care in the world other than shutting her up.  
“Oh fuck unnie! I-I’m so close,” Hyewon whimpered, holding on to Eunbi’s head, desperately chasing her orgasm as she rocked her hips against her face, only encouraging Eunbi to furiously rub and slurp on her clit.
“Oh god..u-unnie, I’m cumming!”
With Hyewon practically screaming Eunbi’s name, you continued drilling Eunbi’s tight pussy, sending waves of pleasure through her all the way to Hyewon’s body as her thighs quivered around Eunbi’s face, as her toes curled and she came hard all over Eunbi’s pretty face. 
Eunbi licked up everything that leaked between her legs, cleaning her folds and licking every inch of her stained thighs before Hyewon gently pushed her away off her.
“U-unnie, you’re so good at that,” Hyewon breathlessly said.
“I’m good at everything I do, baby,” she confidently smirked. 
“Now rest up, Hyewonie,” she said as she looked behind her. ”As good as you feel inside me, mommy wants to ride your face.”
You didn’t want to retreat from the comforting warmth of Eunbi’s pussy, but given the alternative was having your face warmed with her powerful thighs it was quite worth the sacrifice. 
Before using your face as a pillow Eunbi lifted herself into position, giving you a chance to admire every curve and inch of her immaculate beautiful skin as she sat down and locked her warm thighs around your head.
“You’ll make mommy feel good won’t you?” 
“Of course. Anything for mommy.”
“Good boy,” Eunbi replied as she pushed her weight down and smothered you with her succulent pussy, her aroma intoxicating you as breathed hot air against her core and explored her folds with your tongue, licking her juices clean. 
“Mommy tastes so good,” you moaned as Eunbi gyrated her hips and you felt her delicious juices smearing all over your lips, not missing a drop of her nectar. 
While you fucked Eunbi’s tight hole with your tongue, she grabbed onto your head, pulling at your hair to shove you deeper inside her pretty cunt, leaving you sucking and licking her pussy, licking, slurping on her folds to give her the pleasure she deserved. 
“That mouth feels so fucking good, baby,” Eunbi said as you looked up at the pleasure you were giving her, feeling her thighs squeezing tighter as she rode your face faster as you explored and stimulated every inch of her pussy.
Meanwhile, Hyewon stirred back to life, and while you alternated between trying to breathe and pleasuring Eunbi, you felt a cold delicate hand squeezing your cock, wrapping tightly around your shaft as she began stroking you slowly. 
“I can’t believe you’re still so hard after cumming in my mouth,” Hyewon said, jerking off you at a slow rate. 
“We just must turn him on that much,” Eunbi replied, her playful words quickly turned into lustful moans as you drove your tongue deeper into her cunt as her slick continuously leaked into your mouth.
You wondered her sculpted body with your hands while you continued to be smothered by her beautiful thighs. You grabbed onto her wonderful breasts, taking a handful and squeezing, pinching her hard sensitive nipples as she closed her eyes and her breathing hitched. 
You could sense the tension in her body as you made out with her pussy, sucking her clit harshly. Juice leaked everywhere, drenching your tongue and lips as she tugged on your hair harder, trying to force you deeper inside her wet hole. 
“F-fuck, baby, mommy’s g-gonna-”
Looking up at Eunbi you slurped her pussy loudly, still playing with her tits as you felt her thighs squeezing around your head as they vibrated violently and she came all over your face, gasping and moaning breathlessly as you were drenched in her delicious sweet nectar. 
You helped her ride out her orgasm as the grip her thighs had on your head weakened, still trembling and shaking as she looked down between her and giggled at the mess she left deposited all over your face. 
"You're so good with that tongue, baby. You made mommy cum so hard."
Eunbi gently climbed off your face and immediately crashed on top of Hyewon, their breasts mashing together as the older initiated a make-out session as you were able to breathe again. 
“Now, do you think you can handle that dick?” Eunbi asked. 
Hyewon pouted cutely. “Unnie, he’s fucked me before.” 
“But you were in control the whole time, and I’m sure he was gentle. Do you think you can take his cock when he’s pounding your tight little pussy with it?” 
Hyewon scoffed. “I’ll be fine, unnie.” 
“We’ll see. How do you want her, baby?” 
You didn’t hesitate for a second before you answered, knowing just how you wanted her. 
“Bent over. I want you to watch me fuck her, mommy.” 
“I’d be happy to, baby,” Eunbi responded, giving Hyewon one more lustful kiss. 
“You heard him, Hyewon. Hands and knees,” Eunbi ordered. 
Hyewon obeyed without delay like the innocent pup she who always obediently listened to Eunbi at work, this was no different. Her palms and knees placed flat on the black silk sheets, Hyewon laid her head down, lifting her scrumptious ass in the air. 
She wasn’t as curvy as Eunbi, her thighs were a bit slimmer but her skin was just as soft, and her body wasn’t lacking in any way. Hyewon’a pussy was tighter, something Eunbi would kill you for saying had you the courage to admit it. 
You could taste Hyewon’s anticipation as you lined your shaft up with her pussy, her pink pussy ready and waiting to be filled. As you ran your cock through Hyewon’s soft wet folds, you gasped at the feeling of her wet flesh as you pushed against it, groaning at how tight she was as you entered her pussy. 
Pushing in deeper and earning a loud needy moan, you felt the tight clench of her walls squeezing the life out of your cock. Hyewon’s much tighter pussy and lack of experience being penetrated meant you really had to take your time so you didn’t hurt her, but you had a feeling she was going to enjoy the fucking she was about to take. 
“She’s fucking tight isn’t she?” Eunbi asked, positioning herself behind your body as she draped an arm around your chest. 
“She is. I feel like I can barely fit.”
"The first time I fingered her I could barely slip one finger inside. Make sure you stretch out her nice and wide.”
“I will, mommy.” 
Not wanting to disappoint either woman you pushed in deeper, parting Hyewon’s pussy wider as half of your length rested inside. When she was on top it was easy for her to take as much as she wanted to, but being bent over in this vulnerable position you felt there was much more resistance, her almost uncomfortable tightness struggling to take you all in. 
“F-fuck, you’re so big,” Hyewon cried out, as she tried adjusting to your length, Eunbi smirking proudly at the struggle she was facing already.
“He is right? Are you sure you can handle him? He’s going to be able to fuck you much deeper in this position.”
“Unnie, shut up. I can handle it,” Hyewon snapped back. 
“Well, you heard her. Fuck her, baby.” 
Not even letting your cock enter the deepest part of her pussy, you placed your hands on her soft supple asscheeks and you established a gentle rhythm, using your hips as you slowly fucked Hyewon from behind, her wet walls squeezing you with the tightest grip possible. 
“Oh fuck…” she moaned loudly. 
“Take it nice and slow,” Eunbi whispered into your ear. “And when you think she’s ready, fucking pound her.” 
“Yes, mommy.” 
Encouraged by her instructions, you took things at a slow pace, savoring her wet flesh wrapping around your shaft, Hyewon whimpered and whined and moaned needily as you pumped slowly inside her. 
“How’s that pussy feel, baby?” Eunbi asked as she began peppering your neck with delicate soft kisses. 
“It feels really good, mommy.” 
Even halfway inside Hyewon felt so tight and warm, her heavenly soft flesh squeezing your cock as you gave short, shallow thrusts, building up the pace. 
“You feel so good inside,” Hyewon moaned, as you moved your hands to her hips, watching your cock disappearing between her supple ass. With every thrust it became easier to move in and out of Hyewon, stretching her tight little hole little by little, making her wetter at the same time. 
Words couldn’t describe how tight Hyewon felt, even after a few minutes of moving in and out her she still was a tight fit, her exceptionally tight pussy suffocating your shaft. You used your fingers to rub at her clit, creating whinier moans to escape her lips as you created more wetness around your shaft, aiding your penetration. 
Soon after you were able to stretch her out enough to be able to take more of you, and you let out a satisfied grunt as you fully entered her, bottoming her out with your cock as you withdrew, leaving half of you impaled inside her tight warm cave. 
“H-harder,” Hyewon softly whimpered, her words barely audible. 
“What was that?” Eunbi asked. 
“I-I want to be fucked harder,” Hyewon said.
“Speak up, baby, we can’t hear you.” 
Hyewon took a deep breath. “Harder. Fuck me. Harder,” she said, every word this time crystal clear. 
“You heard her, baby. Go wild.” 
You hadn’t heard a better set of words all day. Growing frustrated with the slow tedious pace, you were happy to be able to fuck Hyewon at your whim, quickly settling into a much more natural pace that you were used to. 
Hearing the pleasurable sounds of flesh against flesh as your hips smacked against Hyewon’s ass, you took advantage of being able to freely fuck her, squeezing her hips as you slammed into her tight hole. 
Hyewon scrambled to grab handfuls of the sheets as you opened her up, her moans increased alongside your speed. 
“She said she can take it, baby, so make her take it. Every inch.” 
You grabbed onto Hyewon’s arms and pulled them behind her, holding her delicate wrists as you fucked her hard from behind, her body being pulled upright just a bit as you went wild and hammered into her cunt. 
You made sure to be deep as possible in this position, as Hyewon’s ass jiggled with every thrust as did her breasts, her cheeks clapping together rhythmically as her whines and whimpering moans grew louder and deeper as did the harsh smacking of flash together. 
Eunbi swung your head around so she could plant deep kisses on your lips, taking some of the focus away as you pounded away into Hyewon’s pussy, pistoning your hips without a care as sweat began dripping down your forehead. 
“Keep pounding her, baby. Don’t stop fucking our little slut until she can’t walk straight tomorrow.”
You felt Hyewon tighten at Eunbi’s use of the word slut and wanted to test it out yourself. 
“Do you like when I fuck you this deep, baby?” you asked. 
After moments of groans and gasping Hyewon responded. “Y-yes, your cock feels so big inside me. I feel so filled.”
“You like being fucked like a slut?”
Hyewon tightened again. “I-i’m not a slut! Not like, Unnie-” she protested. 
“You’re not? If I remember correctly you sucked my cock the first week I moved in here.” 
“It was because you were always hard in the morning! I felt bad for you.” 
Eunbi laughed. “Felt bad, or felt horny?” she said. 
“U-unnie! I’m not a slut!” 
“That’s not what your body says right now. I can feel how fucking wet you are, Hyewon. Your tight little pussy loves my cock.” 
“I-i just wanted to help out. To return the favor, that’s all-” 
“Then you won’t mind if I stop fucking you and fuck Eunbi instead?” 
“N-no! Please! I’m already close, please don’t stop!” 
You dropped her arms and they collapsed against the mattress. “Admit it then.” 
“I-i can’t, I’m not-”
You slowed down your pace considerably, Hyewon whimpered even more. 
“P-please, baby! I’m almost there.”
“Then maybe you should admit it. We both know you’re not as innocent as you pretend you are,” Eunbi said.
Hyewon pondered for a moment as you barely moved inside her. “Fine. I-I’m a slut. I loved sucking your cock in the morning, and I loved when you came inside me.” 
“Was that so hard?” Eunbi asked. “Do you want him to cum inside you again?” 
“Y-yes!” 
“Then tell him, baby.” 
“P-please cum inside me! I want you to pound me and fill my tight little pussy!” Hyewon begged. 
You smirked and resumed your harsh pace, running your hands up her tight sweaty body and cupping her breasts, squeezing them and feeling her hard nipples brushing against your palms as you drilled yourself into her. 
“I’m gonna cum!” Hyewon abruptly said as you felt her walls squeezing you the tightest they ever had. 
“Then fucking cum,” you growled impatiently in response. 
You took a bit of pride in seeing Hyewon like this, her innocent demeanor completely broken down and replaced with lustful desire and need. 
With your hands full of her wonderful warm breasts, you felt her pussy pulsating around you and Hyewon screamed as she came all over your cock, her voice hitting an octave you didn’t even think it could go as her juices saturated her thighs, your shaft, and the bedsheets underneath. So much for not defiling the bed, you thought to yourself with a snicker. 
Her body weakly shook as the aftershocks fired off like bullets, each wave of pleasure threatening to make her whole body collapse. 
“Your turn, baby. You better fill her up,” Eunbi demanded. 
You were already on the brink, and with Eunbi’s words along with the look of desperation Hyewon shot at you, there wasn’t much you could do to hold out. Teetering on the verge of exhaustion, you gave everything you had as you hooked both of Hyewon’s arms and brought her upright, feeling her sweaty back pressed up against your chest as you pounded her pussy. 
“Take it all, baby. Take all my cock you fucking slut,” you hissed, the words seemingly appearing out of nowhere as you buried yourself deep inside Hyewon’s dripping cunt. Without anything to grab on to, Hyewon was at your mercy, fucking her with the last remaining shred of energy you had, your carnal desires fueling your urge to absolutely ruin her. 
Without another word you came inside Hyewon, feeling a sense of relief as you sent your thick hot cum inside her, throbbing and groaning with every single spurt until she was pumped full of your plentiful load. 
“You did so well,” you whispered to Hyewon weakly, as you released her and she collapsed to the bed in front and you followed as you pulled out, your sticky cum staining her thighs as you equally gasped for air. 
"Look how much you came, baby," Eunbi said as her view was on the semen dripping out of Hyewon as you crashed on the side of the bed next to her, struggling to breathe with any kind of regularity. 
"Don't move a muscle, Hyewon," Eunbi ordered, as she bent down between her thighs, and began licking her clean. 
"U-unnie," Hyewon softly whimpered as Eunbi cleaned up the mess you had just left inside her, slurping your load directly from Hyewon’s freshly fucked pussy and greedily swallowing it all, rekindling the fire in your loins and bringing you back to full hardness, something Eunbi took notice of. 
“Don’t relax yet, baby. You still need to give mommy your cum.” 
Hyewon crashed to her side exhausted as you laid down in anticipation of what Eunbi had planned. 
"Mommy wants to ride that cock," Eunbi said as she pounced on your body and you felt her naked thighs straddling your waist, caressing your sweat misted skin and smiling sweetly. 
"Just relax and let mommy do all the work."
Her gaze relaxed you as she kissed you again, this time more lustfully, biting your lower lip and holding on. She grabbed your cock, slickened with the juices of both women and stroked it carefully, teasing her silky wet folds with it. 
“You’re still throbbing for me, baby. Does mommy turn you on this much?” 
“Yes, mommy. You’re so sexy.” 
“I’m glad you think so, baby,” Eunbi said shyly, still teasing her warm flesh with your leaking cock. 
“What do you like about me, baby?” 
“Your pretty eyes. Your sexy hips. Your amazing tits. Your soft thighs. I love everything about you, mommy.” 
Eunbi blushed. “You’re so sweet, baby. I hope you still have some cum stored up in those balls. Mommy wants to ruin you.” 
“Please do, mommy.” 
With your tip still aimed at her tight entrance, Eunbi lifted her hips up and slowly sank down onto your cock, parting her wet flesh and impaling herself. She took the first few inches of your shaft at first, and then slipped every part of you inside her with ease as if showing off and moaning freely at being so full. 
“Oh fuck, baby,” Eunbi moaned loudly, resting her delicate soft hands on your chest. You grabbed onto her waist and stared at her magnificent figure, your mouth drooling over every sinful curve of her body so sculpted to perfection as you eagerly anticipated her next move. 
“You’re so wet, mommy.” 
“All because of you, baby,” Eunbi replied with a charming smile as she began slowly moving her hips, taking you in and out of her body at a delicate pace. Your mind went numb at the warmth and tightness enveloping your shaft, her pussy gripping on tight as if to tell your cock it wasn’t going anywhere but inside her. 
Eunbi threw her head back as her pace increased and she created a steady rhythm, rolling her hips as she rode your cock, taking you to the hilt with every bounce. She was in control in more ways than one, not for her comfort but for yours, only giving as much pleasure as she dictated you needed. 
With her pretty hands still resting upon your chest, her nails began digging into your skin as the look in her eyes became more devilish. 
“Mommy loves your cock,” she said as she picked up the pace, her warm thighs smacking against yours, as you felt mesmerized by the way her huge breasts bounced.
Eunbi grew tired of her sensual nature and began slamming herself against your shaft, her tight cunt dripping juices each time she was filled to the hilt, She became more and more aggressive by the second, leaning her body forward to kiss and lick your neck before blowing hot air in your ear. 
“Hyewon might get to fuck you while you live together, but mommy owns this cock. She’s just borrowing it when I’m not around.” 
“It belongs to you, mommy.” 
“Don’t either of you forget that,” she said as she violently rode your cock, her warm skin slapping against your own flesh as her cunt was repeatedly penetrated as deep as possible, riding with vigor as her ass plump bouncing wildly against your cock. 
“Mommy needs these balls drained, baby. You’ll give mommy your cum, won’t you?”
“Y-yes, mommy. I’ll do anything you ask.”
“Anything?” 
“Yes, mommy. Anything.”
“What if mommy wants to keep riding you after you cum?” 
“Then mommy can keep riding me as long as she wants.” 
“You’re a good boy, aren’t you?” Eunbi asked as she grabbed your hands and placed them on her tits. You nodded and squeezed them both, playing with her hard nipples with your fingers. 
“You like mommy’s tits, don’t you?”
“I love them. Your tits are so amazing, Mommy.” 
Liking what she heard, Eunbi grabbed the back of your head and brought her chest to your face, smothering you with her delicious breasts. The soft flesh of her heavy tits against your face felt so comforting and heavenly, you never wanted them to leave. 
“Oh fuck, baby, mommy might cum soon.” 
You loved every moment, every sensation sent through your body. You didn’t mind Eunbi using you to get off, you wanted nothing more but to please her. 
Eunbi rode you so hard that you were sure the bed was going to break, clearly enjoying vigorously using your cock. 
“Unnie, don’t break him,” Hyewon teased as she rested her tired body up against Eunbi, burying her face into the crook of her neck. 
“All rested up for round two?” Eunbi asked. Hyewon tiredly shook her head. 
“No, I just wanted to play with these,” Hyewon said as she felt up her chest, cupping her breasts softly and giving a gentle squeeze, stealing the large mounds from the comfort of your face and into her own hands.
“Don’t be selfish, Hyewon,” Eunbi said. The two exchanged saliva as their lips met and tongues clashed, Hyewon giving into the older woman. 
Eunbi’s juices vigorously flowed out of her cunt, the added stimulation of Hyewon’s hands exploring her chest, pinching her nipples brought her new uncontrollable pleasure that she couldn’t hold back any longer. 
“Is mommy going to cum?” Hyewon asked, surprising the room by warming up to the use of Eunbi's insistent title. 
“I am,” Eunbi softly said, laughing at Hyewon’s use of the word. 
“Cum for us, mommy,” Hyewon innocently said, and it seemed to trigger Eunbi’s second climax of the night as she slipped into a euphoric trance as all her senses were shaken, tightening around your cock and leaking enough juices to almost slip out of her. 
Once she came down from her high, you felt the enthusiastic bounce of her hips as she intended to draw out your own climax as Hyewon still clung to her body. 
“I forgot how needy you are after you cum,” Eunbi teased. “I-i’m not-” Hyewon protested, proving the opposite as she kissed Eunbi’s shoulders. 
“Are you close baby?” Eunbi asked as she grabbed your hands and interlocked your fingers with hers, pinning your arms above your head. “If not you will be,” she smirked. 
“Cum inside mommy,” she demanded as she gave her all, slamming herself down with the only intention to drain you. Her hair was out of place, sweat dripping all over her body, making her jiggling breasts look even more appetizing, she had never looked sexier. Eunbi was in total control of you, and you were going to finish inside her whether you wanted or not, not that you ever would have rejected that idea. 
You laid there helplessly as Eunbi rode your cock without mercy, her sweaty thighs slapping against your own as you struggled to gather your senses, waiting for the inevitable as the pressure in your abdomen grew. 
“M-mommy, I’m gonna cum,” you cried out, every syllable difficult to form as they left your lips. Her eyes lit up in anticipation. You didn’t hold on anymore, not that you could, but you stared into Eunbi’s eyes and the lustful look that demanded your release sent you over the edge. 
“Cum for mommy,” she said as if those three seductive words were the final bit of permission you needed. You groaned needily as your throbbing cock exploded inside her, filling up her walls as she drained the final spurts of cum left just for her, somehow equally as much as you had given Hyewon. 
“Such a good boy,” she said as she kissed your forehead. You wondered if she was going to keep going, keeping you to your word of not stopping but mercifully she seemed satisfied. 
Giving you a few moments to rest she slowly and gingerly lifted her body off of your cock an inch at a time, the three of you watching the dripping thick load leaked between her thighs, the result of your combined juices seeping out. 
Hyewon looked in awe. “I can’t believe you can still cum so much. “ 
“I have that effect on people,” she proudly boasted. You laid there barely able to move, twitching as you felt their mouths returning to your cock, lips and tongues cleaning up your shaft and running all over your drained balls. 
Moments after you passed out from exhaustion.
                                                              ✦✦
The morning after was a blur. You arose before anyone else, still wondering if the night before was a wonderful dream that you unfairly never acted out. The mess of stained sheets and naked limbs surrounding you and the weight of both gorgeous women perched on your chest thankfully meant everything became a reality, but you still pinched yourself just in case. 
"Good morning…" you heard a voice softly say sleepily.
"Good morning, mommy," you responded as you saw Eunbi waking up. 
"I love when you call me that," she said as she left sweet tender kisses on your chest. "It turns me on so much."
"Did you sleep well, mommy?" you asked, repeating the word.
"I did, baby, thanks to you. I'm still wet though, just thinking about you."
Eunbi’s pretty fingers ran through out of place strands of your hair, playing with them. 
"And it looks like you're excited this morning thinking about mommy," she said as she grabbed your cock and stroked slowly. You moaned at her touch and she smiled devilishly. 
"Maybe mommy should jerk you off right here."
"We shouldn't wake her."
"Hyewon? She'll be out for a while, you really did a number on her."
"Still, I'd hate to disturb her."
"How about a quickie in the shower while she rests?” Eunbi asked. 
"Now that's a great idea." You carefully removed yourself from underneath Hyewon, trying not to wake her. Eunbi literally grabbed you by the dick and led you to the bathroom, letting the water get as hot as it could before stepping inside. 
You didn’t know what it was about both women that seemed to love their scalding hot showers, but you weren’t going to question it given the view in front of you. 
Not long after you wettened you hair, Eunbi turned the shower into her own erotic show as she soaped up her voluptuous body and lathered up her massive tits. Knowing you couldn’t divert your eyes she played with her own nipples, pinching and pulling on them as she moaned and you quickly felt yourself growing hard as a rock. 
“You like watching mommy get clean?” Eunbi asked as she bit her lip. Before you could answer the shower door opened and Hyewon joined the fun. 
“Hey! You started without me,“ she frowned. 
“You looked so peaceful, we didn’t want to wake you,” Eunbi said. 
"Nice excuse, unnie. You just wanted his cock to yourself."
"You caught me red-handed. And what happened to mommy?"                        
Hyewon blushed and turned shy. 
“Just clean me, " Eunbi said. 
You couldn’t help but feel they were teasing you, soaping up each other's bodies and kissing each other at the same time as the water ran down their flushed skin. As always, Eunbi felt the need to up the ante, using her knee to spread Hyewon’s wet thighs and grinding against her core. 
“F-fuck, mommy-” Hyewon moaned. 
“You wanna ride mommy’s thigh don’t you, baby?”
“Y-yes, mommy,” she desperately responded, trying to force any bit of friction she could against Eunbi’s muscular toned thigh. Eunbi allowed it for a few moments, finding it cute how needy she always was as she brought her fingers to her breasts, playing with Hyewon’s swollen sensitive nipples before grabbing her hips and ceasing her movements. 
“You shouldn’t cum before our guest does,” Hyewon whined but didn’t voice a complaint. 
She grabbed Hyewon by the ass and pulled her towards her body, their wet soapy breasts mashing together. 
“Hyewon.” 
“Yes, mommy?” 
“Follow my lead.” 
Eunbi knelt on the shower’s tile floor, Hyewon quickly followed, both stroking your cock. Eunbi angled her body to the side as the water ran over your chest. Soaping up her tits even more, she grabbed your cock and placed it in between her soapy cleavage, wrapping her breasts around your shaft. 
She didn’t move yet, and Hyewon caught on quickly, matching her position on the opposite side with her wet breasts smothering the other side of your shaft. You realized what exactly was about to happen, and nothing could prepare you for it. 
They flashed each other a look, and the moment they started moving together you absolutely lost it as they created friction, sandwiching your cock in between the heavy warm flesh of their tits.
“Holy fuck,” you moaned, and they both let out gasps at the result of their sensitive nipples grinding against each other. As if that weren’t enough, Eunbi leaned in to take a kiss from Hyewon who returned her advances, as the two messily sucked each other's faces. 
You had no doubt in your mind that this is what heaven was like. 
“Like that, baby?” Eunbi said.
“You have no fucking idea.” 
They both giggled and watched as you lost your mind even more. You didn’t dare close your eyes for a second, keeping your eyes glued to the way their perfect tits assaulted your cock, struggling to keep your composure as the intense pleasure spiked through every bit of your body. 
“Fuck, I’m not gonna last very long.” 
“Mommy wouldn’t expect you to.” 
Just a few more moments was all you could handle, the warmth of both of their breasts squeezing and massaging your cock was too much. You throbbed in between them as you groaned loud enough to echo around the shower walls as you filled up their cleavage with cum and painted their pretty faces and they proudly wore your warmth on their features. 
The two shared a series of giggles before Eunbi licked your sticky warmth off Hyewon’s face, the younger returning the favor before licking each other's faces clean, kissing each other with cum-stained lips and eagerly swapping your load. 
They kissed your depleted shaft as you weakly leaned yourself against the shower’s cold tiles, forcing your eyes open as Hyewon rode Eunbi’s thigh to completion and Eunbi gushed all over Hyewon’s slim fingers in a matter of moments. 
The three of you dressed and dried off in relative silence, recovering from the events of the past 24 hours. 
“What happens now? With the case?” you asked. 
“We don’t exactly know ourselves. We’ll have to figure out what happened, what went wrong, and if our information was inaccurate. This is a huge setback,” Eunbi said.  
“We’ll be spending most of next week recovering from this. And we were so close too,” Hyewon frustratedly said. 
“It can’t be helped, these things happen sometimes and we’ll have to prevent it from happening again,” Eunbi reassuringly replied. 
“No more talk about work. How about some breakfast, Hyewon?” 
“Right away. How does pancakes sound?” 
“Amazing,” you said.
“Make an extra batch. We’re going to need to save up our energy for later.”  
                                                         ✦✦
“Hey. It's me. No, they don’t have any idea. Fucking idiots. Their operation was a failure in every possible way.” 
“No, it was thanks to you too, boss. Yes, the account number is still the same. I can’t show you my gratitude enough, I’ll be able to pay off these fucking loans finally. “
“I’m not sure, I’m sure they’re scrambling like chickens with their head cut off. I’ll be able to find out more on Monday. Yes, I’ll be careful. I’ll see you in a week. “

Illicit Desire 2; l.dh
Word Count: 3.4k
Summary: A secret friendship between the heirs of rival companies. But behind the label of friendship, feelings of affection lingered. Donghyuck who would give up everything to be with you, goes out of his way to show you how he feels. It’s a risky decision, but he’d do anything to make you his. Despite being an illicit desire.
Author’s Note: This was all based of my imaginations. Plot was reccomended to me by a friend. Credits to the KDrama The Inheritors, this is where I got a small bit of the Business School idea from. As mentioned, these were mere products of my imaginations, and does not define the idols mentioned. I suggest reading the first part before jumping to this one.
>>Illicit Desire 1<<
Tumblr media
"Have a place in mind darling?" Donghyuck asked as you fastened your seatbelt. You were currently on the passenger seat of his car as he drove out of the school's parking lot. "Heio's Café serves the best milkshakes." You suggested as he pulled out to the main road.
After your tensed conversation with Donghyuck in the cafeteria, he decided to take you out for some  milkshakes, as a friendly date. Or so you thought. He knew he couldn't talk to you as much in the campus as other students would start up a huge dating rumor, so that was risky. Instead, he opted to take you out for some snacks.
"Is it okay if I play some music?" He nods as he continues to keep one hand on the wheel whilst the other was resting on his thigh. You took your phone out and connected to his car's bluetooth and tapping a random song from your playlist.
Secret Love by Hunter Hayes. You stared out the window of Donghyuck's customized matte grey Porsche 911. Your eyes wander by the passing buildings and other vehicles on the road. Oblivious to the fact that the boy behind the wheel stole glances of your small figure.
He would be bluffing himself if he said he didn't like you. Ever since he saw you walk into that cozy pastry shop across the campus, he couldn't stop thinking about you. Your soft caramel skin that glows from afar, your perfectly styled short wavy hair that reaches only above your shoulders, and your round doll like eyes that drowns whoever stares too deeply into them.
A week later, he found you again. Apparently you were together in most of your classes, so he had many opportunities to steal glances at you while you tugged on your waves whenever you couldn't understand those questionnaires in Basic Microeconomics.
Months passed and it was the school's annual foundation party. Many booths were set up for all the students to enjoy and there was also a formal dance. Therefore, students were required to wear formal attire.
You showed up to the party in a long forest green dress that reached the ground. It had a plunging line that went down just above your belly button, but it hid all that was necessary. Overall, it gave off an alluring look. It was then he realized his affection for you was not just a simple infatuation. It was something far more intense.
The whole night, he silently admired you from his table. He refused to go along with his friends to try out the booths or even dance, he just sat there, watching you with passionate eyes and a stupid smile.
"I can feel your eyes on me." You said and sat properly on the seat. He chuckled and grabbed your hand. Interlocking your fingers and placing it on his thigh. That action made your cheeks heat up, as if the devil himself gave you a kiss. It burned yet you liked it. Your mind suddenly lost all its sanity, its like your brain was doing backflips in sync with your heart drumming against your chest.  
His hand was soft, like clumps of clouds in the sky. He held on your smaller ones with such gentleness, afraid of possibly hurting it by just one flick. Him holding your hands was such a comforting feeling, it gave you warmth and it felt so right.
"I've always wanted to know how it feels to have your hands in mine darling." He admits in such a timorous voice, probably diffident to avow his little aspiration. It was so unlike his usual loquacious and banter personality. You questioned if it was Lee Donghyuck you were with.
When you're livin' a life that you gotta deny When you feel, how we feel, but you gotta keep lying It's only gonna mess you up inside When you walk by each other in a crowded room And nobody sees how I'm looking at you But we'll meet in a minute by the rendezvous Only you know what I mean.
Secret love, all the things we do Secret love, baby me and you Got a secret love Stayin' undercover and outta sight If nobody knows then we're doin' it right Secret love We've got a secret love
You smiled bitterly as you listened to Hunter's voice in the background. You and Donghyuck had something similar, it was explicit you both liked each other, but it must remain inconspicuous. Especially with the numerous inquisitive eyes. Thus, both of you have to result into refuting the feelings. Keeping it behind the little friendship.
After a few silent moments in the car, Donghyuck pulls up into the mini parking lot of the café. You unbuckled your seatbelt and got out the car. The cold zephyr caressing your skin as you saunter into the welcoming shop.
"What do you want darling?" Donghyuck asks softly, his fingers rubbing soft, soothing circles on your back. It was like his fingers were on fire, those little circles burned through your skin, it made your heart explode and  you bit back a smile that was forming on your lip. He made you feel so messed up, in many different ways.
"Cookie Dough milkshake with vanilla syrup on top, and ask for extra chips." You answered him. He nodded and placed your orders on the panel. Taking the receipt, he once again interlocks your fingers and leads you to a booth.
Upon sitting down, he lets out a soft breath of air and leans his head on your shoulder. Your cheeks flushed a bright hue of pinkish-reddish. It made your heart drum louder in your chest as he fiddles with your fingers. His hair, it felt so soft and fluffy on your cheeks. It smelled sweet, like a mix of chocolates with coconut oil. You had the urge to entangle your fingers in his hair.
Realizing the scenario, you shrugged him off your shoulders. He pouted, and seemed so confused and disappointed. "Why?" He asked looking at you mystified. The boy was perplexed as to why you shrugged him off. He knew you liked him, so why did you have to deny it?
"Have you lost all sanity? People could recognize us and rumors would spread." You said holding back the urge to smack his head. He was making this so difficult for you. Yes, you desiderated the idea of being with Donghyuck. To have him in your arms, for him to lean on your shoulders, and to have his soft lips on yours. You yearned for it, that you would not deny.
Lee Donghyuck was ethereal. He walks into a room and everyone turns their head to look at him. People were enthralled by his beauteous charisma. He resembled the beauty of a sunset, aesthetically pleasing, and debonair. As if he was crated by perfection, even he could stand up to Narcissus' ravishing looks. It was no joke, as to why everyone fell head over heels for the heir of LEE Medical Co.
Not only was Donghyuck good looking, he was astute and perspicacious. He aces majority of his tests and belongs to the highest rankings for scores of every test. He never drops from the spot of 5th and up. Last year, he was the highest scoring student of the whole school. Despite his nigh on perfect persona, Lee Donghyuck was unostentatious and self-deprecating.
A few moments later, your orders were served. You sipped your milkshake while Donghyuck took small bites off his macaroons. Heio's Café is one of your most favorite places to stop by and satisfy your sugary cravings. It was a go-to-spot for you to study and hang out with friends.
"Not only does Heio's serve great milkshakes, their macaroons are really good." Donghyuck says and you smile at him. His face was puffy, probably from the macaroons that were stuffed in his cheeks. Looking at him like that, you thought how lucky you were. To be able to see this different side of Donghyuck.
Despite his gregarious and amiable spirit, he never had rumors of being affectionate with other people. He only jokes around with his friends, but there were zero stories of him hooking up with girls. Regardless of knowing he could get any girl with his looks, he just never liked the idea of it.
"I've never tried their macaroons." You admitted and Donghyuck looked like he was ready to explode. His facial expression showing how you sounded implausible. He takes a half-eaten macaroon and holds it up in front of you. "Say aah." He says, in such a childish voice.
You parted your lips slightly and he fed you the macaroon. He stares at you, awaiting your reaction. The pastry melted in your mouth and your eyes lit up. It was luscious, an inviting taste. You showed him two thumbs up with a genuine smile and he beamed.
His face lit up, as if rainbows poured on him. He looked so happy, as if in front of him was the one thing that completes his life. As if your reaction meant the world to him. He seemed buoyant. Like he was floating atop cloud nine. Reaching over the table, he grabs your cheeks and squishes them.
The small gesture, once again, caused an eruption in your heart. The little butterflies going wild in your stomach. Your cheeks burned under his touched. Why does he make it so hard for you to stop liking him?
It's like he is pulling you into this beautiful chimera of love, but once you're there, he pushes you off the edge. Thus, you fall. You fall into this fathomless caliginous, agonizing and torturous reality. He doesn't and won't ever reciprocate the love, the way you do.
Loving Lee Donghyuck, is dangerous. He lets you assume that he truly loves you. That loving him was all sunshine and rainbows, it wasn't. Loving Donghyuck was pain, belligerent, detrimental, noxious. Doting on Lee Donghyuck would be messy, and painful. There was no reassurance of a happily ever after.
But, were you willing to take that? Maybe.
You thought that the day would end there. No. Lee Donghyuck had other plans. Since it was a Saturday tomorrow, he had decided to take you to the arcade. You both loved arcades, especially the Just Dance machine. Donghyuck was a natural dancer, he swayed to the music and it is as if he was one with the rhythm.
Donghyuck's group of friends were also a talented bunch. They were all specially gifted. Lee Jeno and Na Jaemin were shockingly good at rapping. Zhong Chenle, Huang Renjun and Lee Donghyuck had such mellow voices. Park Jisung, their youngest member, was a dancing machine. He just looks captivating on stage. Their group would often participate in the school's talent show, and for 3 straight years, they've always had the title of champions.
You, on the other hand, was a moderate dancer. You were part of the school's dance team and often performed during school events. But you were nothing compared to Donghyuck's friends. It's like they were born to dance. It was a natural skill that they all possessed, and they make use of that skill flawlessly.
"Ready darling?" Donghyuck asked. You nodded and the music brought excitement in both of your bodies. Moving to the beat of the song, both of you and Donghyuck, never missed a beat. Smiles on both your faces, you enjoyed every line and dance step of the song.
After a few dances, you both panted heavily, trying to get a grip of your breathing. Since both of you were certified dancers, Donghyuck thought it would be a good idea that you dance to some of the hardest dances in the game. Your points were pretty close but Donghyuck pulled up by a few points.
You were sweating excessively and Donghyuck noticed the wet patch on your shirt. He took off his coat to put it over you, an attempt to hide the transparency of your blouse. You smiled politely at his gesture and hugged the coat tighter on your body.
"Would you like to have dinner before we part ways, darling?" He asked as you both exited the arcade. You nodded, too exhausted to speak. Noticing your frazzled expression, Donghyuck snaked his arm over your shoulder and leaned your head on his shoulders.
You were too debilitated to protest with his actions, so you gave in. The both of you continued walking until you halted in front of a Thai restaurant. "You like spice am I right darling?" He asks and you nodded. He smiled and led you in.
Donghyuck was such an ideal type of guy. He was sweet, thoughtful and ardent. Yet again, with his status, and fame, it was inevitable that he could hurt you. You were still rivals in the business industry, and who knows, he could deceive you. An you were not willing to risk that.
Despite your desire of it, having a relationship with Donghyuck could be devious, perilous and merciless. It's like an example of dark chocolates. It starts off sweet, but the longer it stays in your mouth, the taste of bitterness lingers on your tongue. That's what being with Donghyuck feels like. He may be sweet and affectionate at first, but you never know, he might suddenly decide, he doesn't feel that way anymore. Like he could tear you off his book of life. As if you were some useless chapter.
Would you be considered a masochist, if you still relish in the thought of drowning in agony? Just to be with Lee Donghyuck. Maybe.
"Darling, eat up. Or are you not feeling well?" He speaks up. You were too caught up in your thoughts, failing to realize that the food had already been served. He looks at you with an agitated face as you pick up your chopsticks. Maybe you were just drained from the activities, thus, your hands were shaky as you popped a piece of sweet chili chicken in your mouth.
Donghyuck stood up from his seat, opposite yours, and proceeds to sit beside you. "I'm spoon-feeding you. You seem so exhausted." He says and feeds you some Pad Thai noodles. You didn't have enough energy to dispute with Donghyuck, thus you just went along with his actions.
As the dinner continued, he kept talking to you about little things. Most of the information shocked you. Donghyuck didn't seem like that kind of person as he continued to tell you stories of him. Besides his family reputation, it seems as if Lee Donghyuck was just like any ordinary teenager.
He was just dragged into this family drama, without any rights to oblige. Just like you. He simply wants to grow up like any other. Graduate, find love, have a decent job, and grow old with his own family. He never asked for arranged marriages, threats and a burden of responsibilities. He just wanted to pursue his dreams, you.
After dinner, he finally decided to take you home. While walking towards his car, Donghyuck intertwined your fingers with his once more. He was fond of the thought of your hands being in his. Holding it. He loved the feeling of holding you, never wanting to let go. Afraid that if he does, you might slip away from him. He abhorred the thought of being unable to call you his. He loathe the idea of not being able to tell you utterly how he truly feels about you. He despised not being with you.
___
"It's apparent that you adore her Donghyuck. Stop trying to negate the feelings." Renjun says as he takes a seat on one of the barstools of their hangout spot. Huang Renjun's family owns the school, so they were able to claim an unused room and renovate it. The group made it their official place of hanging out.
"No it is not." The younger boy denied and Park Jisung snorts from beside him . Donghyuck looks at him, as if the boy had grown an extra head. "Look, it's very obvious that you like her. Why are you trying to deny it?"
After the encounter with you in the hallway, the group of friends decided to interrogate poor Donghyuck. They never knew the both of you were on speaking terms, let alone friends. They knew about the history between both your families, thus they've always thought you despised each other's existence.
"He's afraid of the outcomes. Aren't you Donghyuck?" Na Jaemin. He raises his brow as he poured himself a glass of soda, leaving the remaining half for Lee Jeno.  Donghyuck buried his face in his palms and let out a frustrated groan. "Jaemin is right. I am." He admitted.
"To love is to make risks and accept all its corollaries, may it be for the good or the bad. So if I may ask, is she worth risking for?" Jeno asked as he stood up and grabbed the soda from Jaemin. He was right. Were you worth all these possible chaos in the future. Definitely.
You were Donghyuck's first love. He never felt this way towards anyone, but you. Your perfectly tanned skin, your adorable soft beach waves like hair, your plump pinkish lips, and how bright your eyes were. He admired every part of you. Aside your physical features, you were also one of the smartest and talented students. He enjoyed watching you dance on stage during special events and purposely walking by the practice room just to steal a quick glimpse of you.
Donghyuck fancied you, there was no denying it. He would willingly sacrifice everything, as long as it ended up being with you in the end. Loving you was difficult. Criticism and hate were sure to follow, but he didn't care about it. He wants you.
You were not the one agitated about these feelings. It was him. He was afraid of the reality, that you might not feel the same towards hm. Sure, he knows you like him. But were you willing to give everything up? Would you be able to oppose your family, just to be with him? Because for Donghyuck, he would risk it all, just for you.
"Think about it Donghyuck. Not only would it be you that would face the consequences. She'll have to go through it as well." Zhong Chenle says as he picks up his bag and the boys finally decide to disperse and head out. ___
They were right. If he was really passionate about you, he would be willing to risk it.
"Darling, I'm in love with you." He says. You both froze infront of his car. His hands softly squeezing yours. Awaiting for your reaction. Nothing. A few more moments passed and you still remained quiet. You were stupefied. Were you just dreaming?
"Donghyuck." You whispered. He stared you deep in your eyes, searching for any emotion, anything. He didn't like it when you were quiet. It was piercing silence, he couldn't handle it. He grabs your other hand and pulls you closer. His arms wrapped around your waist as you looked up to face him. He was much taller than you.
One of his hands cupped your cheek, and brought your face closer to his You were staring at each other's eyes. Searching for something, an answer to why you both felt this way. Your hearts were drumming against your chest and both your minds were fuzzy. Neither of you had the sanity to cogitate what was happening.
You felt his soft lips on yours. It brushed against yours ever so gently. As if it was caressed by an amngel He held you securely and gently, afraid that you might drift away from him. This was one of his dreams coming true. To be able to show you how he feels.
You responded with the same action. Both your lips moved in perfect sync with each other's. Is this what love is? Does it strip you away of coherent thoughts and leave your mind blank? Does it make you unaware of your surroundings, as if it was only you and him in the world. Does it feel like your legs are no longer touching the ground, as if both of you were dancing gracefully in the sky? If so, you liked it. You liked the idea of breaking rules.
You relished the thought of an amour. A forbidden relationship. An illicit desire.

Erase the Shadow: 10
Please remember, this fic is rated explicit and has warnings of sex, violence, and other possible triggers.
***If you prefer reading off AO3 here’s the link for that: https://archiveofourown.org/works/22027552/chapters/54738346
If you enjoyed reading this at all please comment and let me know. Since I post for free, think of it as nice way of leaving a tip.  And since comments are the only thing that encourages me to keep editing and posting, it’s also a benefit for you.
Thank you to those who have left hearts.  And a VERY special thank you to those who have recently left comments or re-blogged. They REALLY mean a lot.
As always, an extra special thank you to @inorganicone2230  for their encouragement and friendship.  This fic was my personal guilty pleasure, and without them never be getting posted. You can also thank them for the idea on what Hizashi would want for his roleplay.
10.1
“So. About that roleplay you promised.”  Hizashi said when they got home.
Her back to him, Teris stopped in the living room. Damn. She had promised him that, hadn’t she.
“Zashi, it’s--”
“Not Zashi, Babe.  Mic.”  Hizashi corrected.
It should be an easy enough thing for you to call me, he thought.  You have no problem addressing me so formally at school.  Just pretend we’re there.
“It’s late.”  She sighed.
“You promised, Ris.  Come on, Baby!  It’ll be fun.  I swear.  If you really don’t like it after we get going, we’ll stop.”
He moved up behind her.  Arms wrapping around her, he nuzzled and kissed her neck.
Teris rolled her head to the side, giving him better access.
Hizashi grinned against her.  After nearly two and a half years together, he knew this was a clear sign that he had won his way.
Even so, he murmured. “You promised to do this if I was a good boy for you, Wren.  Was I not good?”
“Answer’s debatable.”  She breathed, her head falling back against his chest.
A hand traveled down her stomach, the other pulling up her torso, taking her shirt with it.  Hizashi pressed his growing erection against her ass.
“Oh? You think I was a bad boy, Babe? Would you rather punish me for being naughty?” He bit hard at her neck.
“Shit! Zashi.”  She stepped away.  “No marks.  We got school in a day.”
Hizashi grinned at her.
The urge to mark her up for the world to see was a constant one.  But given that she had just agreed to do Friday and Saturday patrols with Shouta, the urge was that much greater.
He knew Shouta had always had a thing for her.  But he had hoped that Shouta would get over it as his and Teris’ relationship continued and grew.
It was the reason why he was all the more affection with her when his best friend was around.  It wasn’t to be cruel to Shouta, but to help him get over his attraction.  To show Shouta that Teris was happy with him and he didn’t stand a chance. ...And maybe to be just a tiny bit cruel.  Alright! Maybe most of it was to be cruel.  But Shouta was cruel in his own ways too.
For instance, Shouta didn’t have to agree with Nemuri's idea that he and Teris should team up and patrol together.
Sure knowing that someone was out there watching his girls back would ease his mind.  But he wanted Teris to lessen her number of patrols, not keep them up. And having Shouta out there with her…  That just added an entirely different slew of worries.
He took his phone out of his pocket and synced the Bluetooth to impressive speaker system that he was constantly improving.  Music from his ‘Get It On’ playlist played softly throughout the apartment.
Recognizing the music, Teris rolled her eyes, smirking.
Hizashi patted her ass and gave her head a kiss.  He stepped passed her and made his way to the bedroom.
“Take five and relax a bit, Babe. I’ll be right back.  Oh!”  Hizashi turned back to her. “But don’t change or get undressed.”
“Alright.” Teris drawled out, watching Hizashi saunter away.
She knew better than to ask what he was up to. Hizashi liked to surprise.  Even if he hadn’t, a part of her was too nervous to ask.
He exited the bedroom several minutes later.
At the sight of him Teris set down her phone.
“You get called in?”  She asked, taking in his leather costume and styled hair.
Though disappointed, she was also a bit relieved.  She might’ve promised to try roleplaying, but she wasn’t exactly eager to do so.
“Whose your favorite hero, Baby?”  Hizashi asked, stalking over to her.
Teris blinked, thinking.  She didn’t really have a favorite hero.
Everyone, including her liked All Might; even if he was too bold and loud for her to consider him a favorite. As a fellow underground hero, she liked and appreciated the way Shouta worked.  Eraserhead might not have been widely known where the average citizen and media were concerned; but out on the streets the Hero’s name was whispered in fear.  There was also Midnight and Mirko.  Two fellow female heroes that she greatly admired.  She supposed growing up her favorite hero had been--
“Me, Babe!  You’re suppose to say me!”  Hizashi exclaimed when she didn’t answer after a couple seconds.
He pouted theatrically, stopping in front of her sitting form.
“Zashi.”
She felt stupid and bad.  Of course he had wanted her to say him.  She really was a terrible girlfriend.
“Of course you’re my favorite hero, Sunshine!”  She said rising to her feet.
“We’ll just skip the pre-play this time, shall we.”
She pulled back from his kiss in confusion. “Didn’t you get a call?”
“Yeah.” Hizashi grinned, hands gripping her hips and pulling her closer. “You’re the call, Sweetheart.”
Hizashi groaned wanting to shove his cock in the perfect ‘o’ her mouth made as realization dawned.
“You good with being the helpless civilian I saved, Babe?”
She nodded, mutely.
Hizashi smiled.  Having her act the helpless civilian was just what he needed after a night like tonight.
“Call me Present Mic and tell me how thankful you are that I saved you.” He said, hands panning over her.
Looking away, Teris blushed and mumbled.  “Thank you for saving me, Present Mic.  I—I’m your biggest fan.”  She added, trying to make up for the hurt she caused earlier.
“My biggest fan you say, Listener.”  Hizashi grinned.
He turned them around so he could ease back into the couch.  Sitting, he spread his legs wide and pulled her closer between them.
Teris’ shins hit the sofa.
Her legs squeezed together at the look in his spiraling green eyes.  She knew that look all too well, and her mouth pooled with saliva, lustful eagerness rushing through her veins at what her boyfriend was about to ask her to do.
“Well since you’re my biggest fan, I should give you a treat.”
“You don’t have to, Mic.  You already saved me.  Just getting to see you is enough.”  She said.  Her growing arousal making it easier to play along than she would've thought.
“Aren’t you the sweetest little Listener. What d’ya say you continue being so sweet and give me a reward for saving you then?”
“Heroes don’t need rewards.  Nor are they allowed to accept them.”  Teris said, character breaking.
“Baby.” Hizashi chided, lightly.
“Sorry.”
Hizashi’s eyes raked over her, fingers tapping against his thigh. “So what do you say, Listener?  Wanna show your favorite hero just how grateful you are?”
Teris nodded.  Her shyness at the roleplay suiting the character response perfectly.
“Would my biggest fan like to suck my big cock?”  Hizashi asked, hand moving to grip himself through his pants.
She nodded again.
“I’m gonna need a verbal answer, Listener.  Let me hear that pretty voice of yours.”
“Yes.”
“Yes what, my little Damsel?”
“Yes. I’d like to suck your big cock.”  Her cheeks heated in a blush.
He nudged her back and tossed a pillow on the floor between his feet. “On your knees, Listener.”
Teris knelt before him, her hands immediately going for the buckle of his belt.
“Eager are we?”  Hizashi chuckled, gladly sitting back and letting her free him.
His hero costume was quite unforgiving when he got erections.  He couldn’t count the number of times that he had jacked off in a bathroom because he had a boner and the damned thing wouldn’t go away.
He had complained about it once to Shouta years ago.  And, rational as always, his friend had told him to wear looser pants.  He wasn’t sure if Shouta didn’t know or didn’t care about branding.  Skin tight, black leather pants were just as much part of his hero image as his trademark hair.  He couldn’t simply wear looser pants for comfort sake.
“Oh! That’s it, Baby.”  Hizashi groaned when his cock sprung free. “That’s nice.”
“I don’t know how you fit such a lengthy dick in those pants, Mic.” Teris said, trying to add a bit of innocence to the natural wonder of her voice.
She honestly didn’t know how he did it.  Sure Hizashi was more of a shower than a grower, but still.  The thought of his rigid dick being held down so tightly with no room to move.  It seemed cruel, not to mention painful.
She kissed the ruddy head of his cock.  “Such a proud, huge thing shouldn’t be locked away in those too tight pants.”
“It’s all part of the image girls love.”  Hizashi exhaled, reveling in her firm yet gentle grip.
Teris’ hand tightened a fraction too hard around his angry cock before releasing.
Hizashi winced.  “Roleplay, Babe!  I don’t really mean that I like other girls looking at me.”
Teris could've argued that that was a lie, but didn’t.
Technically speaking, it actually wasn’t a lie. Hizashi didn’t like getting attention from other girls.  He loved it.  In truth, he loved getting attention from anyone.  But even though most of his fans were sexually attracted to him, he had never once been tempted to cheat. Even when he and Teris had lived in different cities.
She noticed the bead of precum that had leaked out of his cock and smirked.  “Does Present Mic like it a little rough?”
Hizashi's hips rocked lightly.  The sensation of her heated breath ghosting over his dick was teasing and enticing.
“I’m a pro hero, Listener.  I’m use to rougher treatment.  Question is, can a sweet little civilian like yourself handle this pro hero’s big dick?”
Hizashi grinned at the slight sharpening of her eyes.
As bothersome as Teris’ pride and stubbornness could be, Hizashi had learned how to use it to his advantage.  Like now, even though this was a roleplay Teris would take his question as a challenge and try to suck his eyeballs out through his cock.
Without a word Teris licked a long stripe up the underside of his cock.  Her eyes rolled back when the flat of her tongue pressed against the very tip, the taste of his precum washing over her taste buds.
She moaned and Hizashi groaned in response.
He’d never tired of watching her mouth on him.  The only sight better was his cock in her cunt.
The thought had more precum leaking out of his thrumming dick.
Teris was quick to lick the milky bead up, the tip of her tongue hungerly dipping into the slit seeking more.
Hizashi rocked his hips forward.  “You like the taste of that, Listener?  I’ll feed ya real good if you take all it in and show me how grateful you are that I saved you.”
She gave his length a few more licks, slicking it up then wrapped her hand around it.
Never afraid to be vocal, Hizashi groaned at her sliding, firm grip.
“You wanna be my own personal hero, Listener? Open up that pretty mouth of yours and wrap those sweet lips around me.”
Teris licked her lips and did just that.  Her tongue swirled around his weeping head, moaning at the feel and taste of him.  She might not have been comfortable roleplaying, but sucking him off was something she loved to do.
“Just like that.  Good girl.” Hizashi breathed.
She moved, taking more of him in.
“Careful with those piercings, Listener.”
It was a needless warning that was made totally for the play.  If anything, Teris had been overly careful around his Jacob’s ladder piercings during the beginning of their relationship.
His constant talk made Teris eager to get him to the point that he couldn’t speak.  Her head dipped down taking as much of him as she could without gagging. Given his length a good portion of him was left for her hand to pump, her head bobbing in time.
“Fuck, Listener.  You’re good at that.”
Teris moaned her thanks around him.
Unable to control himself, Hizashi’s hips bucked at the vibrations.
The head of his cock hit the back of her throat.
Teris tried to pull off him, but Hizashi's hand tangled in her hair, holding her in place.
“Don’t give up now, Listener. I was just starting to enjoy myself.”
Drool dribbled out of her mouth and down her chin.  Teris groaned in mild protest.
Hizashi grinned down at her.
He loved making a mess of her.  It was another sign of his possession. No one else got to do this to her.  Shouta could go out on as many patrols as he wanted with her, but he would never see her like this.  This was for his eyes alone.
The fingers of his other hand traced over her stretched lips. “Such a pretty, little Listener.  I might just take you home and keep you.  Would you like that, Beautiful? For your favorite hero to take you and keep you?”
He rocked into her mouth eliciting a gagged groan when he hit the back of her throat again.
“Sweet little thing like you should be kept safe at home.  Protected from the eyes and hands of others. Just look at the trouble you caused me.”
Her eyes lifted to his while he pushed in and out of her mouth.  It was only roleplay, but he was sure good at making it sound real.
Hizashi's hand tightened in her hair before pulling her off and quickly commanding.  “Fuck, Baby, back up; so I can use you proper.”
Teris scooted back giving him space to stand and rose up to her knees.
Hizashi grinned, feeling smug that his girl was so perfectly trained.  Well, almost perfectly trained.
“Open up that pretty mouth so I can fuck your face.  If you’re real good, I might sing you a solo.”
Teris rolled her eyes.  As if Hizashi was ever quiet during sex.
Remembering that this was suppose to be roleplay she gave him her best doe eyed expression.  “Please, Present Mic.  Use me for your pleasure.  I’ll do anything to make you happy and see you satisfied.”
“Ris Wren.”  He tilted her chin up, capturing her full attention.
The use of the pet name made her blink.
“Zashi.” She replied, tentatively.
Giving a slight nod, he questioned seriously.  “Your remember what to do if I get too rough?”
“Yes.”
“Show me.”
Teris closed her hand into a fist, and activated her quirk. The shadows around the room lengthened, pulling toward her.  Suddenly a dark, dense tendril sprung from the obsidian ring on her first finger.
“Good girl.”  Hizashi praised.
He pet her hair lovingly before grabbing a fistful of it again.
Teris grimaced at the slight sting but the wave of arousal that washed through her was undeniable.
“Now open up, Listener.  And no touching yourself.  If you please your hero well I’ll give you a reward that’ll make you sing a sweet tune of your own.”
Even though Hizashi had never left her wanting, his promise sent a thrill up her spine.  Her mouth opened and wrapped around him.  But before she could begin both his hands threaded through her hair.
Her eyes widened when he pushed passed her comfort level, hitting the back of her throat. She gave a muffled cry of surprise, gagging around his cock.
Hizashi groaned.  The vibrations of her stifled nose shooting straight through his dick, making his balls tighten.
“Damn, Listener.  You take this pro hero’s cock like a champ.”  Hizashi panted, fucking into her face.
With the rough pace he set all she could do was hold onto his thighs and take it.
The steady, rhythmic thrust of his cock felt good. Who needed a swinging watch to stare at when you had this.  It was hypnotic. Her mind shut off, allowing her to just hover in the heady state of being used.  Gone were life's concerns and the wrongs she could do nothing about.  All there was was the feel of Hizashi's cock, pumping in and out of her mouth.
She became numb to his dick hitting the back of her throat.  The reflexive urge to gag gone, she was able to fully bask the feeling of her mouth being filled.  The wonderful drag of the underside of Hizashi's cock on her tongue excited her saliva’s production; causing copious amount of drool to stream down her chin and neck, wetting her shirt.
Like he had time and again throughout their relationship, Hizashi took a moment to revel in the image of her, committing it to memory.
“So, Pretty.” He murmured, staring down at her, his thrusts never missing a beat.  “Such a good little Listener.”
Not that it makes up for you agreeing to patrol with Shouta on Friday’s and Saturday’s, his mind unwillingly thought.  His hands tightened in her hair at the reminder. The snap of his hips instantly became sharper, the pull of her head more forceful.
Teris whined.  The tears already prickling her eyes flooded over, rolling down her cheeks.  Her wet, needy pussy clenched, aching for attention.
Green eyes trained on her stretched, swollen lips, Hizashi continued ruthlessly fucking into her hot, wet mouth.  He could feel himself getting close despite the tempo he kept.  He had chosen a slower song to fuck to wanting to draw this out, but it didn’t matter.  The sight and feel of her was just too good.
The wet sounds, ragged breathing, and whining moans coming from her were a far better tune to work by anyway; and he let himself go.  He forgot about the song in his head and focused solely on music they were making together.
Teris could feel his cock come alive and pulse in her mouth.
“Fuck, Baby.  You gonna swallow?”  He panted out quickly.
Unable to answer, she tugged at his thighs.
“Fuh—Yeeeaaahhh!!” Hizashi cried out, his entire body shivering as he came.
Hot, thick cum spurted into her mouth.  She almost swallowed when a better idea came to her.  Holding the milky treat in a pool on her tongue, she pulled off of him.
Eyes locked on his, she showed him before swallowing, and sticking out her tongue.
Still panting slightly, Hizashi smiled widely.  “Well if that doesn’t deserve a reward, I don’t know what does, Listener.”

Costco and A Kiss - H.K
A/N: We’re switching it up around here, holy shit. So this is more of a platonic!Harley type of thing bc I don’t necessarily feel comfortable writing romantic stuff with him right now but gimme a couple months and we’ll see how I feel about things! (It’s mainly bc Ty Simpkins is 17 and I feel weird about it lmao) Also, there is WinterIron in this, it’s not the main focus but it is in focus so let’s see how that goes.  
I also need to add that heroes and Avengers are not a thing in this universe, no superpowers or anything!
Summary: Harley has a crush, and there’s a Costco trip involved.
Warnings: cussing i think, winteriron,i just pulled this out of my ass, so I’m sorry if it’s not good. Also, this is lowkey dedicated to @1-800-gotjunk bc they wished for more Harley Keener fanfic and I like to please my audience (this may or may not be my way of saying I’ll gladly take requests), and I tried keeping it gender-neutral as possible, so lemme know if I slipped up on pronouns and stuff! Also, introduction of a new character!
Word Count: 2.5k
Gif not mine and this was the only recent Ty Simpkin gif I could find. The others were obvs JP gifs or IM3 so yuhh
Tumblr media
"Y/N, Peter, Harley, Riri!" Tony yells as he finishes compiling a list of all the foods they'd need for sure. Bucky emerged from one side of the kitchen with a list of other housing items -toilet paper, cleaning supplies, the works- that the family needs, as well as some optional stuff. Bucky hands the list over to Tony while pressing a kiss onto the older man's cheek.
"Ew, please stop!" Harley comments as the four teens walk into the large kitchen. Tony rolls his eyes and hands the list to his eldest child, Y/N.
"We need you guys to go shopping for some items for tomorrow's get together and for household stuff," Tony says as he looks over at all the kids. You're quick to nod as you put the lists into your pocket.
"Yeah, please get everything on the list, and maybe some other optional things for yourselves," Bucky chimes in, once more earning a nod from you. Harley was too lost in looking at the beautiful h/c haired beauty. Unfortunately, he could never be with them, for many reasons. The current one being age.
Bucky and Tony met three years ago, both instantly making a connection. One thing that instantly connected them was that they each had a kid and a parasite. Harley is Bucky's adopted parasite, while Riri is his biological kid. People tend to not believe it for many obvious reasons, but neither of them cared about people's comments. Y/N is Tony's biological kid, and Peter was the blood-sucking best friend who felt like Tony was a dad to him. Admittedly, Tony does love Peter like a son. The two men had been introduced by Steve a few years ago, becoming sort of friends, until they eventually got some crushes on each other. They started dating, and a year later, they've moved in together into a new and improved Stark Tower. The millionaire could never give up the luxury of his own luxurious tower. He has the money, why not?
"Got it, fatherinos," you tell the two men as you grab your phone from the kitchen counter. Harley is quick to follow behind you, following like a lost puppy. Bucky and Tony were quick to notice the boy's crush on the eldest of the group.
They'd seen all the signs. He'd get nervous around you, he'd stare for a very long time, he would be at your every whim, and he'd always be so close to you. It's cute, really. However, the two parents wouldn't dare say a thing because they want to see how it ends. Surely, there wouldn't be bad blood. Especially not for Peter and Riri's sake. Y/N is the oldest of the group, being eighteen. Peter is the second oldest, being seventeen. Meanwhile, Riri and Harley are both sixteen.
You head down to the garage area, grabbing the keys to the G Wagon on the board holding all the keys to every car. It's a black matte color and it's bigger than most of the car, so its used more often for grocery store trips. Admittedly, it's your favorite car too. You lead the way to the car.
"I call shotgun!" Harley yells as he runs over to the car. Nobody really protests, because why would they? So Harley gladly takes the passenger seat as you unlock the car. When you get in, you notice Peter sitting behind you and Riri sitting behind Harley.
The car engine roars to life, followed by the sound of the Bluetooth connecting to your phone. You hand your phone to Harley and let him pick out the music as you check all your mirrors. Once everything is perfect, you begin backing out as the sound of 7 Rings by Ariana Grande comes on. Almost in sync, everyone in the car cheers as they begin singing along to the song. Peter and Riri roll their windows down and you do too. Harley is recording everyone and putting it on Snapchat and Instagram, which you don't mind.
The drive doesn't take too long. Five songs later, they're in the parking lot and getting out of the car. Riri runs to get a cart and Peter follows behind, getting another cart. With how big the bulks are and with how much you'll be buying, you might need four in total. So when you reach the entrance, you instruct Harley to get another cart as you grab one as well. The four of you walk side by side, annoying a lot of the fellow shoppers just trying to get through.
Four teens shopping at Costco on their own was never a good idea from the beginning. Harley can't seem to steer a cart right, occasionally running over the backs of your legs or crashing his cart into Peter's. It was especially bad that Riri was making pun after shitty pun. Sure, they were really funny, but they were pretty bad. Peter was trying too hard to show off how strong he was, and your competitive side was coming out. Now it's on to see who can lift the most. So far, you've managed to pick up three cases of 24 packs of water bottles in one go. Peter rolled his eyes and stacked a fourth one on to his stack.
"Peter, we only need six cases. Put one back," you instruct. Peter sighs while grabbing one of the cases and puts it back in the display area. Harley and Riri are talking amongst themselves, laughing at something.
You've all been at the store for about half an hour now and haven't even made a dent in the list. You're only a quarter of the way done, only one basket halfway filled because they all want to be so childish. You can't put all the blame on them though since you've been slacking too.
As you approach the refrigerated area, you grab the list and grab random vegetable packs, milk, and other items on the list. Harley joins you, and when he sees you shiver, he's quick to take his jacket off and hand it to you.
"Here, you seem cold," Harley says. You smile and take it from him, thanking him as you turn back to the items you need to get. Harley watches as you grab random items. He stares as you compare certain brands or read over the names and what the items are. He can't help but stare as you put more items into the basket.
He knows having a crush on you is sort of weird, especially because at this point there's no turning back for Tony and Bucky. They're in it till the end, going the long run. So, they'd be family. They are family, just not technically. However, Harley can't help but still indulge in his little crush. He knows Y/N doesn't like him like that. He knows that your eyes are set on someone else, but he still can't help it.
The two walk out with a basket full of frozen goods and meet back up with Peter and Riri, who this time around are laughing at memes on their phones. You approach the two laughing friends and gesture in a way telling them to get a move on.
You all stay in the store for another hour before you've gotten everything on the list and some. Now you're waiting in line, looking over at the cart that Harley stands behind. Everything that was on the list managed to fit into three carts, so the last one was filled with the things that you guys wanted. Or things you know Bucky and your father would appreciate. Chocolate cake, boxes of popcorn, jugs of juice, industrial jars of Nutella, and so much more. The entire time the four of you wait in line, Riri goes on to ask and beg to stop by at Starbucks. Harley spent the entire time staring.
You knew about his little crush on you. You'd even consulted Bucky about it, asking if the young man has a crush on you. Bucky didn't even try to hide it. It's so obvious. Neither of you are sure on how Peter and Riri haven't suspected a thing. You notice how he stares dreamily, he blushes when you look up at him. The way he texts back immediately, the hearts around your name in his phone. How happy he got when he saw the heart at the end of his name in your phone. You wouldn't dare crush him by admitting everyone you care about has a heart at the end. Harley's is yellow. Peter's is blue, Riri's is purple, Bucky's is green, and your father has a red and black heart at the end of it. Right by your best friend, Matt, you have a big red heart, but you wouldn't tell Harley that.
When everything has been loaded up into the car, you begin the drive to the nearest Starbucks. Upon pulling up to the window, everyone bombards you with their orders. You can only focus on so much, so you get their order one by one until every order has been taken. You pull up, pay, deflect every flirtatious comment from the girl behind the window, and take your drinks.
"Looks like someone got a number!" Peter says as he accidentally grabs the receipt. You roll your eyes and toss the now crumpled receipt somewhere in the back of the car. The drive back home is short but once you've pulled up, your phone begins to ring.
"It's dad," you say, seeing Tony's number pop up on screen. You grab your phone as you unbuckle yourself and answer the call. "Yes?"
"Hey kiddo, I need you to run to the nearest drug store and buy some Pepto and some anti-diarrheas. Maybe some Gatorade and some crackers."
"Is Bucky sick or is it you?" you ask as you hop out the car, noticing Riri and Peter begin taking things inside. Harley is missing, so he's most likely inside already.
"Buck, he ate some old takeout leftovers. Can you please go?" Tony asks.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna wait on Harley to come back down so I can take him with me, probably gonna talk to him."
"Time to let him down?" Tony asks softly. He was the first to suspect his crush.
"Yeah, can't let him go on with as much hope as he has. It's unfair."
"Well, good luck kid. Please hurry though. Buck is dying here. Surprised he doesn't have projectile coming from both end-"
"Ew dad!" you screech as Tony begins to giggle. You hang up when you see Harley coming back with Peter and Riri in tow.
"H, we're going to Walgreens or something, come on. Pete, Ri, can you guys take all the stuff back in? Don't forget we have the pallet jack, just pile things on it and take it."
The two teens nod and go over to the stationary items in the garage and pull out a pallet jack as you go to grab the keys to one of the many Audi's your father owns. You're not sure why he owns so many, but he does. Harley follows close behind, getting into the small but luxurious black car.
"H, can we talk?" you ask as you lower the music. You've decided that you'd wait until you were out of the garage and out of the gate to the tower.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"I know you like me," you begin, deciding not to hold back. "Like like me."
"W-what? N-o I have n-no cl-"
"Harley, it's okay to have crushes. I find it flattering that you have a crush on me, but I need you to know that-"
"You don't like me. I know," Harley says sadly as he looks down at his hands.
"H, please don't be mad. You're a cool dude, and anybody would be lucky to be with you. I mean it, but I just don't see you that way. Plus, our dads are kind of dating, soon they'll be married. It would be weird," you tell him.
"I know but you're so cool and you're really attractive! Plus you're so nice and smart and I could go on and on! It sucks being in love-"
"Woah, woah, woah slow down buddy. You're not in love with me," you tell the young man. "Yeah you like me, but it's not love."
"How would you know what I feel?"
"Because you were the same about Ned, and about Ally."
The car goes silent for a few seconds. The sound of Shawn Mendes quietly plays in the background.
"I just never felt like this about someone, and I hate that it's you because I know it's wrong."
You frown and look briefly at Harley. You reach the store and the two of you are quick to get off and into the store. Harley winds up separating from you to go look around. You decide not to push it, so you go looking for what you need and head to the checkout desk. The whole thing only takes ten minutes, but soon the two of you are back in the car.
"If I kiss you, just this once, will it be enough to fulfill some dream of yours?"
"W-what?"
You sigh as you look down at the steering wheel before turning over to Harley.
"Look, obviously something about this is bugging you because I know you. You're not one to get mad at rejection. You respect people's decisions. But something is bugging you and I just want to know, if I kiss you, will it fix something within you? Enough to get you over this little crush? I mean, you're a month shy of seventeen, so it's technically not illegal or something, not like it's sex but still."
Harley looks you in the eyes, his showing confusion. Nothing but confusion.
"Y-you'll kiss me?"
"Let's make a deal. I'll kiss you, lips on lips, as long as you start getting over this silly little crush on me," you propose. Harley looks at you and you can see him begin to grin. You roll your eyes as his cheeks begin to blush.
"R-really?"
"Yes," you begin. "But that means no being shy around me, no staring at me doing the most mundane of things, and definitely no sadness that we won't ever be in love and get married and have fifty children and a farmhouse."
Harley nods eagerly. You can already feel yourself regretting this. Why would you propose this to him?
"I just wanna let you know that I've never kissed anyone and I'm scared that I'll be bad a-"
You cut him off by pressing your lips to his. If there's one way to get him to stop thinking about it, it's by doing it. He stills for a few seconds but not too long after, he's kissing back. Your hands rest on his cheeks and his move to your waist. Once he began to shift in his seat, you decide that that was enough. So you pull away with a soft smile. His cheeks are red and he seems very bashful.
"How was that?" you ask.
"For your sake, it was really bad," Harley says. You smirk, turning the car on and heading back home.
"Good, now you know you're not missing out on much."
"I hate you," Harley says. You continue smiling, happy that everything has been put out.
"I hate you too, H."
Please send feedback or requests! Come send me asks or just talk to me!!

Thoughts on Tokonatsu 2018!
Tokonatsu 2018 has been over for a few weeks now, but I only just found time to go through all my gear to pack it away for my next camping trip, and in the process, I found my camera, so this is a great time to talk about how it went!
This post is from the perspective of an attendee. I’ve already done a post about going as an exhibitor, which you can find here.
Tokonatsu is an event that I attend every year; it’s probably the main fixture on my con schedule (I go to a fair few, but Toko’s the one I do my best to never miss). The con is unique, in that it’s an anime & Japanese culture convention that takes place on a campsite, with events etc. in marquees and plenty of outdoor activities.
This was our home, including myself, @squidgesqwadge, @starwulfen, along with a few of our friends, for the 4 days:
Tumblr media
The weather this year was fantastic. Dry, hot, perhaps even too hot sometimes, but I wouldn’t want to complain - I would certainly take this over rain! However, the sun made us really glad we’d managed to scrape together the cash to buy a cheap gazebo in the weeks running up to the event. The table was also a new addition, but I had that already - I bought it to exhibit at Wyntercon 2017 and future events where exhibitors have to provide their own.
This was our 5th year at Toko, and after our somewhat disastrous first year where we used borrowed and throwaway camping gear, we decided we didn’t want to ever go through that again, so on each subsequent year we’ve bought a few more bits-and-pieces to making it a bit more glamping than camping.
Tokonatsu used to run Fri/Sat/Sun with attendees leaving the campsite mainly on Monday morning, however, in recent years, they’ve opened the site on the Thursday night for an extra charge, and we’ve taken this up. However, this first night is just a chance to set up and relax, so no con activities, but that’s actually a good thing - it gives you a chance to meet people and get together with friends you may not have seen all year.
We arrived in the evening and got set up. We had a mini-crisis involving a bunch of flying ants in the tent, and we had to fumigate it and seal it for an hour before we could actually use it. That being said, before the sun went down, we were all settled and had the chance to go to a local supermarket to stock up on ice, beer and food.
On the first day of the con proper, the opening ceremony was a blast, though due to the heat, we ended up doing more chilling out this time around and fewer activities than usual. This was our choice though, and puts me in mind of how Toko is such a relaxing 4 days; some cons I’ve attended it’s all go-go-go, which is great if that’s why you’re there, but sometimes it’s nice to be able to chill out. 
A later treat was the Kimono panel, held in one of the tents by two volunteers. This was actually a panel covering the wider topic of traditional Japanese attire. I know a fair bit about this topic, but the guys who ran it were real experts, demonstrating some particularly complex attire like furisode garments and different obi knots.
Tumblr media
Day 2 involved the dealer’s tent and the bring-and-buy, so I spent much of this day at my stall. During this time, @starwulfen and her friends were in the cosplay masquerade; fortunately I was able to see them from my place at the dealer’s tent (they looked awesome). However, I sold through my entire stock by 6pm, so I was able to pack up early and get back to the festivities!
Saturday at Tokonatsu involves one of the event’s unique draws; the Toko Matsuri. The staff at the event assemble tents with typical Japanese Matsuri-style games and attractions. Unfortunately I don’t have any pictures of this but...
Tumblr media
... this is what a Matsuri looks like in Japan; if you’ve watched any slice-of-life anime you’ve almost certainly seen one. These festivals happen all over the country, and during my time living in Japan, I attended several, including the large one in my home city during several summers.
Toko’s Matsuri is naturally smaller than this example, but the staff do a great job of trying to recreate the “liminal” feeling of the event, with the glow of the lanterns and lights strung between the trees. The traditional games are fun, especially after a few beers.
My time in Japan has left me with a few garments that I rarely get a chance to wear; one of them is a traditional yukata, with obi, zori and tabi socks. Some of these items were gifted to me by the Japanese that I worked with (mainly the older women who seemed thrilled at the chance to dress up a foreign guy), but I don’t get many opportunities to wear these in the UK. However, the warm, balmy evening provided a great chance to put these on for a bit of personal nostalgia.
During the event, we were also able to attend a tea ceremony demonstration, which was wonderful, given the outdoor setting. @squidgesqwadge also entered the writing competition, in which she placed 2nd (we had joked about if she placed first, as signed copies of my first two books were the prize!).
As the evening drew on, the event set up their official outdoor cinema. On this evening they showed episodes of Disgaea and Tenchi Muyo, the latter of which was a big part of our group’s early anime experiences, so it was a fun throwback for us.
Once the official cinema had finished, we went back to our tent and set up our own portable projector:
Tumblr media
We bought this on a whim from Amazon a number of years ago, when it was in something of a fire-sale. My original intent was to find some use for it as part of my stall at indoor events. It runs off a USB battery and I have it plugged into a bluetooth speaker and mounted on a tripod, with a large bedsheet for the screen. It’s a no-brand model and was inexpensive, but the great thing about Toko is that the countryside gets really dark, so you can still get a pretty awesome picture.
Tumblr media
One of the highlights this year was finding out we could run a SNES Mini off a USB battery, so we were able to have a bit of outdoor Street Fighter II Turbo:
Tumblr media
By the late evening we were watching random abridged anime episodes, and with the sell-out of my books and everything else, I decided that was the night to get trashed, so I did.
I spent much of the final day of the event in the manga tent. Toko Retreat, which I guess is Toko’s sister event that runs alongside the con, operate this (and some of the other attractions). Essentially a large marquee that contains a manga library and places to sit. I read a bunch of El Hazard and a few other things, until it was time for the quiz.
Quizzes are a staple of anime cons (at least here in the UK) and this year, they tried a more “pub quiz” style format. The quiz made us realise two things; firstly, my hiragana is faaaaar more rusty than I thought (seriously I need to study that again before I lose it) but also that @starwulfen is amazing at anime music rounds (seriously, it’s like a gift). It was a pretty difficult quiz; the guy running it did a great job in terms of having a wide variety of questions - but we won!
After this was the closing ceremony, which followed a lip-sync performance of I’ll make a man out of you (which has become something of a Toko tradition), and another night of projector, beer and campfire, with many of us staying up until approaching 4 in the morning to try and drag out the last few hours of the best Tokonatsu so far.
And it was! There were many changes this year to the layout of the events, but I would be the first to say that I think this was the best Tokonatsu ever, and I really hope those changes persist to future years.
The committee, gophers, the staff, everyone did a fantastic job. Stuff seemed to run on time, the events and attractions were great fun, and I know from my event planning experience that this only comes about from a lot of very hard work from a number of very dedicated people.
Thanks for reading, everyone! We’ll definitely be going next year!
If you want more info about the Tokonatsu festival, you can find it here. The site has yet to be updated as the event is so recent, but it was announced at the closing ceremony that the 2019 event will take place at the same location, on the same weekend (first weekend in August).

Which music services are compatible with Fitbit smartwatches?
When you're in the middle of a workout, a good playlist may provide an adrenaline boost precisely when you need it. Modern smartwatches frequently have the capacity to play and store music, allowing you to workout without your phone. If you have a Fitbit smartwatch, we'll show you how to configure Fitbit music services on your Sense, Versa, or Ionic wristwatch.
Is it possible to listen to music on my Fitbit?
First and foremost, not every fitbit com setup is capable of playing music. You'll need a Fitbit Sense, Versa 3, Versa 2, Versa, or Ionic wristwatch to save music on your Fitbit. It's worth noting that the Fitbit Versa Lite doesn't have any music storage.
With that in mind, there are a variety of options for putting music on your Fitbit wristwatch. Fitbit offers an app to sync your playlists offline if you have a Deezer or Pandora account. The alternative technique necessitates the creation of an offline music collection. Let's have a look at both possibilities.
How to download music to your Fitbit smartwatch
Transferring music from your computer to your Fitbit is a simple process that needs the installation of an app on your computer.
1.   Begin by downloading the Fitbit Connect app from fitbit.com/setup on your computer or Mac. To proceed, finish the installation process after it has been downloaded.
2.   When you first open the app, you'll be given three alternatives. You can't set up a Fitbit smartwatch on a computer; instead, you'll need to utilize the mobile app.
●    Do you require further assistance? For additional information, see our step-by-step Fitbit setup guide.
Tumblr media
●    When you tap the Manage My Music tile, you'll be prompted to sign in to your Fitbit account.
●    Now go to your watch and open the Music app by swiping left. Switch on Wi-Fi and make your watch discoverable to the app by tapping the Transfer Music button.
●    To send a playlist to the Fitbit, go back to the desktop app and import an existing one or build a new one. You may pick folders to import into the app by tapping the gear icon in the top-right corner.
●    After you've built up or imported your playlists, hit the circle symbol next to them to start the transfer process. Be patient; this will take some time.
Your Fitbit should now have your chosen playlists. It's time to put your Bluetooth earbuds on and go for a run.
How can I connect my Deezer music to my Fitbit?
Fitbit allows you to sync your Deezer playlists with your Fitbit if you've gone all-in on streaming music and don't have a local music collection. You will, of course, require a Deezer Premium subscription to access this feature.
1.   From the Fitbit app's settings menu, go to the Music page.
2.   Choose Deezer.
3.   To get the activation code, open the Deezer app on your watch. To link the watch with your Deezer account, go to fitbit.com/deezer.
4.   Log in or create an account to use the service. You'll now be provided with a variety of playlists to sync down to your Fitbit, both your own and those created by Deezer.
5.   Sit back and listen to the music you've chosen. Depending on the amount of music you're trying to sync, this procedure might take a long time. It's best to charge your Fitbit while listening to music.
How can I link Pandora music to my Fitbit?
1.   Go to the Music page under your Fitbit's settings in the Fitbit app, just like you did with Deezer.
2.   Tap the login button after selecting Pandora.
3.   To download music to your Fitbit, you'll need to subscribe to the top-tier Pandora Premium subscription. If you want to try it out before committing to the service, you may do so with a one-month trial.
4.   You'll note that Pandora doesn't have as many alternatives as Deezer once you've joined in. You will be able to select up to three of your favorite stations through the integration. You may also use Pandora's Workout section to find playlists. In addition, a Thumbprint radio station is downloaded depending on your listening habits.
How to use your Fitbit to listen to Spotify
Spotify streaming on Fitbit requires a Spotify Premium account and the Spotify app, which can be downloaded through the Fitbit mobile app.
1.   On your phone, open the Fitbit app.
2.   Apps can be tapped.
3.   The Spotify app may be found under All Apps. To install, simply tap the button.
4.   Now go to My Apps and press the gear icon next to Spotify to access the settings.
5.   Go to your Spotify account and sign in.
Spotify on fitbit.com setup smartwatches, unlike some other streaming services, does not have an offline mode and instead works as a remote for streaming from your phone.
It does, however, have Spotify Connect capabilities, allowing you to use your Fitbit to control playing on any other compatible device. Aside from that, the app allows you to listen to music from your collection and recent plays, but it does not allow you to search for playlists.

It may seem to cost a little more than you would expect to spend on a relaxation device but, having tested it, we can tell you that it worked for this reviewer... that doesn't necessarily mean it will work for everyone, though.

Despite an active interest in audio therapy and alternative relaxation, I always err on the side of caution when a new product arrives on the market. I exercised this same level of caution when the Sensate 2 arrived for review; a smart wearable that claims to have relaxation benefits and, by proxy, ease anxiety.
But can it actually help with the act of just "being"? Is $249 too much to pay for such a simple device? Let's take a look at what this vibrating power-pebble is all about.
What's in the Box?
Here's what you'll see when you open the Sensate 2 box for the first time:
Sensate 2 vibrating smart wearable
Adjustable lanyard
Cushioned Sensate slipcase
Beanbag eye mask
USB charging cable
Guidance literature
There is also an associated Sensate app that works via your smartphone or tablet. The wearable won't actually work without the app, so you need to ensure you have installed this.
Also, dig out a pair of noise-canceling headphones; the Kokoon Sleep Headphones would do the job here (or something like them) as they work for contemplative activities, too. You'll need these for the soundtracks on the app.
What Is the Sensate 2 Vibrating Wearable Actually For?
If you are the kind of person who, like this writer, struggles to relax without help, then Sensate 2 could be the answer you're looking for.
It is a smart wearable which, when placed upon the sternum (your chest bone), vibrates in time with music, provided by a dedicated Sensate app. This, according to its creators, will tone your vagus nerve and help you relax in, quote, "as little as ten minutes".
We'll cover the "science" behind it in more detail later but, despite it sounding like another fad product, the Sensate 2 actually works, albeit with a caveat or two. At least, it worked for this reviewer.
Form Factor and Feel
To look at, the Sensate 2 presents as a smooth, black, plastic pebble. It has a brushed feel to it, meaning it is pleasant to have it next to your skin when in use.
Tumblr media
It doesn't weigh very much at all, which is good as this ensures its 2.7 ounces (79 grams) won't feel restrictive or overbearing as the device lies on your chest. Given that the chassis is plastic, it is the vibrating motor inside the Sensate that will contribute the most to the weight.
The front of the pebble has a small power button, surrounded by an illuminating ring that glows electric blue when you switch the Sensate on. The top of the device has a metal hoop for the provided lanyard to attach.
The bottom has the charging port with an LED indicator surround. Somewhat disappointingly, this is micro-USB and not USB-C, but that isn't exactly the end of the world. It would just be nice to see all new products embracing the latest technology.
Tumblr media
And that is it! A very simple piece of unfussy tech. So simple, in fact, that we could forgive you for wondering what your $249 is actually paying for.
However, if you look beyond the characteristics and internal machinations of the device itself, you'll see that it is the package and the results you are paying for, and not just the lump of plastic and electronics sat on your chest. You can't really put a price on proper relaxation.
How Does the Sensate 2 Work?
As mentioned, in simple terms, the Sensate 2 puts sound and vibration together to encourage the user to relax. The device isn't as simple as it makes out, though, as there are several extra factors in play, here.
Vibration
We'll deal with the physical aspect of the device, first. Obviously, it vibrates. These vibrations can range in intensity, thanks to the Sensate app.
You can toggle the strength of the vibrations in there, and the vibration will max out when it reaches the intensity limit you set. The Sensate will vary the intensity of its vibrations up to this limit, without your input.
Tumblr media
During the session, the smart element of the Sensate device means it can vary the intensity of the vibrations, and the time it vibrates for, of its own accord. It will do so based on the soundtrack you are listening to, syncing its vibrations up with the music and sound effects.
Placing the Sensate on your chest bone causes it to send vibrations to your vagus nerve, which runs the entire length of your body, pretty much, passing through your right lung on its way.
The vagus nerve is a part of the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS), which medical professionals refer to, colloquially, as the "rest and digest" nervous system. In fact, the vagus nerve is the "rest" part in that nomenclature. This part of our PNS is all about conserving energy, which the Sensate helps you do, through relaxation.
The vibrations travel from your sternum, where you have placed the Sensate, through your ribcage and into your lungs, where they resonate in much the same way that you can feel the bass from a festival speaker, internally.
This, in turn, stimulates the vagus nerve which then triggers your body to relax, promoting rest in this way. If you place the Sensate in the correct place, you will actually feel a sensation in your lung which, I assume, is the vagus nerve responding to the vibrations.

Sound also plays a big part in how Sensate works, as it unifies the vibration with the sound you hear via your headphones.
So, if you hear a deep, loud, bassy throb on the soundtrack, the Sensate replicates this with a long, drawn-out vibration at maximum intensity. Likewise, the pebble will interpret any top-end, treble chirrups as small, staccato vibrations.
Currently, because you have to use the Sensate app, you also have to use a soundtrack from the app library. There are 13 to choose from, and the app separates these into several categories; Nature, Space & Time, Sacred Spaces, and Breathe.
Each soundtrack uses a combination of relaxing sound effects, music, various forms of noise (i.e. white noise or pink noise), and binaural beats/isochronic tones, as a method of providing audio therapy.
Related: The Best Calming Apps to Relax, Destress, and Clear Your Mind
We'll take my favorite of the bunch and the soundtrack I used most during testing; Sound of Silence from the "Breathe" collection. I chose this one as concentrating on breathing helps me to empty my mind and relax.
Plus, Sound of Silence is 30 minutes long; I prefer a longer meditative experience than 10 minutes, as it can take me that long to just clear my thoughts. However, there are plenty of quicker ten-minute options if you want to just empty your mind and refocus.
As mentioned, this is from the "Breathe" selection. Placing the Sensate on my chest, I could see how the audio works in harmony with the vibration.
I can align my breathing with the long pulses of the bass in the music and the extended vibration from the Sensate.
Tumblr media
This allows for roughly six breaths per minute (or one every ten seconds); a rate of respiration that experts across a range of disciplines, from medical science to yoga, argue is optimum for relaxation. You can read expert literature about slow breathing, and respiratory vagal stimulation, from a range of online scientific sources.
Anecdotally, six breaths per minute is also reportedly beneficial for cardiovascular health, as slow breathing means a slower, relaxed heart rate and it works to manage pain.
The Breathe soundtrack features a lot of white noise, which sounds like static. This helps to eliminate external sounds from your perception. There are also tonal drones known as isochronic tones and binaural beats. These often crop up in use during audio therapy as part of a meditative routine.
Related: How to Use Audio Therapy as Part of Your Meditation Routine
Binaural beats and isochronic tones, to explain briefly, work by manipulating your brainwaves to induce certain mental states. So, some believe that, when played at certain frequencies, these sound signals can help you focus or, as is probably the case with the Breathe collection of soundtracks, breathe more easily/optimally for relaxation, for example.
Sensate tells me it has specially tailored the soundtracks along with a sound therapy expert to ensure they work on several levels, as described above.
Visual Deprivation
Tumblr media
Using the provided eye beanbag, you can block out all external light, meaning bright daylight won't interrupt your relaxation session.
You can experiment with this element of the session a bit, too. Try warming your eye beanbag on a radiator for five minutes to give you relaxation a cozy feel. I like to feel anything cold on my eyes and eye area, so I go in the other direction and cool my eye beanbag in the refrigerator.
Does the Sensate 2 Make You Feel More Relaxed?
In a word, yes. In this reviewer's own experience of the Sensate 2 device, combined with the app, it assists with relaxation.
I have tested the Sensate, daily, over a couple of weeks and I noticed the difference immediately. The first time I used the pebble, I observed that the time it took me to relax was significantly less, almost instant in fact, compared to when I had only previously used audio meditation.
The Sensate's vibration also enhances the physical feeling of relaxation. This meaning that limbs feel looser, and places that you might struggle to disperse tension relax a lot quicker. This, presumably, is down to the stimulation of the vagus nerve and its effect on our rest response.
Tumblr media
It is the entire package, ultimately, that ensures you can enter a completely relaxed state. The eye beanbag blocks out visual disruption, so you can relax at any time. The music follows suit, negating aural disruption, while at the same time offering additional cues such as the binaural beats mentioned earlier.
It is this combination of device and bespoke content that, on the face of it, you are paying for. If this is your only consideration, then the Sensate will certainly look too expensive for what it is.
Admittedly, that was this reviewer's first thought; I couldn't see myself paying $250 for the package in its current form. I also feel it needs more content within the app to provide more tangible value. There is more than one way of looking at that initial investment, though.
Related: The Best Gadgets to Aid Relaxation
The Sensate 2 helps you relax. Yes, there are lots of devices that can also do this. But, in a world where we seem to put more value on the "doing" rather than the "being" of our human nature, the time and ability to relax are becoming rarer commodities. Should we really be putting a price on our wellbeing?
The short answer is no, we shouldn't. I would advise you to try some less expensive variations on this theme first, before you go gung-ho and invest $250 on your relaxation whim. This kind of alternative self-therapy doesn't work for everyone, so start small, preferably with something that is free, and see if it is for you.
My advice would be the same for any device purporting to aid relaxation or offer an alternative method of relaxing, though; that isn't specific to the Sensate. If you are finding that less expensive methods prove beneficial, then you should really consider the Sensate 2 as an option; it is an excellent all-in-one relaxation package.
A Vibrating Chest Pebble CAN Help You Relax
Tumblr media
So, it would seem that the Sensate does actually work, albeit with a fairly substantial, initial, financial outlay. That said, if you are desperately trying to find a way to relax, then this will be invaluable.
It certainly helped this reviewer to achieve relaxation goals, and I think my wallet's wincing would subside quickly when I relaxed more as a result of the pebble and its ecosystem, had I paid for the Sensate 2 and not reviewed a loan device. It has value beyond the tangible product, is the message here.
As mentioned, we suggest you try a more pared-down solution to aid relaxation, especially if you have no experience with these sorts of alternative methods. That way, when you invest in the Sensate 2, you're doing so with some prior knowledge of how it works and if it will be the right device for you.

It doesn’t employ any electric parts, so it doesn’t require any batteries, and as against noise-canceling models, it doesn’t get to be attached to a tool, making it fit use during a wide selection of applications, including providing ear protection underwater within the case of earbuds.
The latter types offer around 20-25 dB of noise dampening (SNR), about half the extent of a daily conversation, which could not sound that much but will make a big difference once you consider the close thresholds for hearing damage.
Active noise cancellation technology
The active noise-canceling headphones employ additional electric circuitry to effectively counteract the ambient sound with a sign of their own. A microphone is employed to concentrate on the environment and a speaker delivers noise on to your year with the aim of canceling this out.
This means that the external sounds are going to be effectively muted to the user. Combined with passive measures for reducing the dB hitting the ears. This technique can leave an excellent deal of comfort for many people.
However, people with sensitive ears might feel a slight sensation of pressure in their drums. That’s why we recommend checking these out whenever possible before buying, especially as they also tend to be quite expensive, and sending the merchandise back might sometimes impose additional costs.
Wired or Bluetooth?
Wireless headphones became increasingly popular in later years because the absence of a cord connecting them to the audio device can greatly increase their convenience while on the move. the best BlueTooth motorcycle helmet earbuds will allow you to maneuver freely, without having to stress about hitting the cable and having them begin of your years, or the jack disconnecting from the device.
These are, however, the costlier alternative with the added cost being just the more obvious downside. The standard of the connection will depend upon the device’s software to an outsized extent, and this will cause tons of issues. So consider carefully if you actually need all that extra mobility before going for a Bluetooth model. Since you’ll be mostly using it from the bike saddle anyway.
Besides getting into the way, a wire will give the item some additional breaking points. Probably any headphone user has experienced the matter of a connector coming off and effectively disabling one or both earbuds. You can’t really safeguard against this aside from by researching each individual product to form sure that it’s a top-quality build.
Ear mounting
Because of the very fact, you’ll be wearing a helmet, the full helmet won’t be an option in this regard. With compact on-ear headphones and micro models that enter the ear being the solely available alternatives.
Needless to mention, the size of the ear headphones should be carefully chosen. Since only the foremost compact of those are often squished inside a full helmet. While open-face ones will probably still push upon their plastic body.
In the year buds shouldn’t be restricted by size, but are considered to be the foremost uncomfortable solution out. There, and are susceptible to make the user sour if used for long amounts of your time.
Headphones or headsets?
A headset refers to the headphone and microphone assembly. Which may hook up with your device either with a wire or through Bluetooth. The simplest noise-canceling Bluetooth headset will allow you to require calls while on your bikes. By using the integrated microphones of active cancellation models or a separate piece within the case of passive ones.
These will naturally be costlier than headphones but are well worth investing certain the extra function.
Active vs. passive technology
We’ve already covered the fundamentals of those two noise-reducing solutions. Highlighting a few benefits and drawbacks for every. But the question of which one will work better under our particular situation still remains.
The first thing to be noted is that the active system will allow you to shut off the noise cancellation. If you would like to handle situations where your hearing must be as acute as possible.
Obviously, you won’t be ready to “turn off” the padding on a group of in-ear headphones. Albeit muting the sound might work tolerably if the item doesn’t offer all that much noise reduction in the first place.
But is that the traditional system significantly poorer? The short answer is that it depends on the worth. With premium silicone or foam padding buds handling. Even as well on the road as active canceling models which cost 2 to 4 times less. All other things being equal, the active system will make a clear difference within the amount of ambient noise you’ll be ready to hear.
A final thing to stay in mind is that the active system will need to use an impact box, which will take up additional space during a pocket.

Beats Wireless Earbuds PowerBeats Pro | True Bass Earbuds
Tumblr media
Not only in price but also performance it's been quite some time and I'm sorry that's just the truth over the years Beats hasn't really said anything new that is in your audio department but today finally we got the Powerbeats Pro and the specs are quite impressive. Now it's a hefty $250 retail at the time. They're very much on the upper end with the Sennheiser and the Vino truly wireless earphones are priced slightly above and with let's say the bose sound sports the Jabra lineup and also the truly wireless earphones from jaybird those are a little bit below as always. I'll be going over both pros and cons also click on my affiliate links down below for the most updated prices in real time you never know when these things might go on sale. 
Overview
Release Date May 2019 Price $249.95 Bluetooth 5.0 weight Earbuds: 21 grams Model Number PowerBeats Pro Waterproof IPX4 Check Price On Amazon
Physical Features
Going over the physical features first. I anticipated these were going to be bulky and they were going to stick out that the earphones would also bounce around during intense movements with my testing on all fronts. They don't, they're actually quite flush against my ear and for the first time I can run with a hoodie on and the earphones don't feel as though they'll fall out from gently rubbing against that fabric.  Now with more intense movements simply demonstrate myself jump-roping here I'd never had any doubt that they would fall off and more importantly I don't feel that the ear tips will be lifting off my ears and losing sound quality. That's really impressive, these are truly wireless earphones. One of the issues that I've noticed when I had the Powerbeats 3 now of course cosmetically I think they look pretty damn good too. Now all of this praise off physically being stable it's because of these ears they are adjustable and does retain its shape. They do feel more competent than the Powerbeats 3 as it's a bit stiffer and the casing feels a little bit more durable. So, we'll see over time now I love the fit on my draw bars and my Samsung Galaxy buds more recently those who were great but I will admit the ear hooks do provide that extra level of stability.
water resistance
Now moving on beats are claiming these are water and sweat resistant spraying the crap out of these things right here they are still working perfectly fine. I was hoping for some sort of ingress rating or considering that we've had all this time to design these having it be submersible/ Although overkill would have given me more peace of mind there's a few other competitors out there that offers just that why not the Powerbeats Pro. You can't be in your shower listening songs under heavy water pressures. It's water protection rating IPX4 can't help you there, it has physical buttons and not touch buttons. 12 BEST NOISE CANCELING EARBUDS FOR WORKOUT IN 2020
Mic, Buttons & voice commands
But getting a closer look easily identifiable multi-function button. The actions are identical on either side which I really liked. Little volume rocker buttons are located at the very top and also are easily identifiable. Everything is there except for transparency mode. Maybe some people call it here through ambient to air whatever name these companies give them beats does not have the ability to turn on the internal microphones so you can hear your environmental noises nearly. Everyone else is offering it and I know a bunch of you use it for safety while running. Some uses these truly wireless earphones while working to hear if your boss sneaks up on you. We don't get that again with your Powerbeats Pro.  Last test I confirm you can activate Siri with your voice as it seems to always be listening for that command. Awesome feature or of course you can always hold down the beats logo again on either side of these earbuds. Now with Android using my voice didn't work for me. You can only activate Google assistance with the button press or telling the button hold all right.  
Bluetooth & Apple H1 Chip
Now moving on to the good stuff here. The technology there's this new Apple H1 Chip inside and it's working wonders. Yes, you do get amazing fast and seamless bluetooth pairing a very similar experience to those who had ear pods previously and with my iPhone I'm averaging about two seconds when the case opens to when the iPhone brings up this cool 3d spinning thing in battery life. In states definitely fast enough for me though but I love how seamless and more importantly how consistent it's been with Android, it's honestly not a slouch either. On screen is proof with my new pixel 3a I've been testing it connects on average in three seconds. Either scenario either phones by the time you put these earphones back into your ear. Adjust them, get them properly seated. It's already been paired.  Now since we're on the topic of Bluetooth, yes, I can't connect to more than one device at a time. yes, after testing playing video on either Android or iPhone where the YouTuber Netflix, I had zero syncing issues. Now although I couldn't find if the Powerbeats Pro uses bluetooth 5.0 or not which is typically used to signify which version a device uses. Apple States instead on their websites this uses a class 1 signal instead which means the earphones should be good up to 150 to 200 linear feet and yes wireless range and stability it has been great. I've been able to walk my entire apartment here with several walls in between and had zero signal loss. Now I also couldn't find if beats use apdex HD to determine how high of a resolution audio file it can handle but again I usually don't as there's been some great headphone / earphones without that high-resolution designation.  
Battery & charging case
In addition to that chip we get one of the best battery performances on any truly wireless earphones that I've tested. Fast fuel just 5 minutes on that charger gives you back an hour and a half. This is the fastest I've experienced on any pair of truly wireless earphones that I've tested. Not to mention beats claims up to nine hours of use with the case you're getting about an additional 15 hours of use for a total of up to 24 hours. Most truly wireless earphones I have tested, they've ranged from 12 hours to 15 hours give or take an hour for the extremes but the Powerbeats Pros, they're class leading with my testing at 50 percent volume like all my other truly wireless earphones.   Since we're talking about the case or maybe you have seen that in the image here. I know some will say this case is quite large and it is but to be fair how else are you going to have these ear hooks attached to the earphones themselves. The case itself had more than one light to indicate battery life. I wish the case featured USBC versus lightning to have a truly wireless port for all my devices. I know Apple fans will be upset hearing that but the iPad pro has USB C there might be a USB C iPhone coming down the road so if that's the case no pun intended, here that's future proofing yourself that would be ideal unless I don't think there's any other company doing this just yet but if we can make this case dust proof in or water proof that would give me 100% peace of mind. But again, that's me being nitpicky right there and wishing for features at this point.  And before I forget about this, there is audio pause and play when you take off your earphones the audio stops you put them back on and the audio plays again and this also works for video as well. Seconds, you can leave either one of these earphones out of your ear and the audio will still play. You can have the other earphone on the other side of the room if you want and the audio will still continue this signal is not dependent on the other earphone like traditional truly wireless earphones.

Powerbeats Pro Check On Amazon
Audio Quality Noise Canceling
Alright, let's get into some of the audio features. First up, let's talk about the microphone get ready that is and the audio is completely unedited and it's a little bit of breeze. Only guys can tell us by here being all crazy or jacked up right now but let me know what you guys think down the review description below. There's no good sound bad sound to pick it up. Let's test out this audio.  as nice and expensive as my microphones are audio recorded on my end and then played through your speakers are not the best depiction of audio accuracy. It's just a sample but it is better than nothing but hence my filing audio review here the Powerbeats Pro is loud enough for most people. Loud but still comfortable to me is at about 75 percent volume, there is some sound leaking occurring,  So those sitting right next to me in a very quiet room, library whatever. Can hear what you're listening to so just be a little bit cautious about that. The ear tips do sit around the ear canal but they don't sit fully inside. Most people will find that more comfortable but keep in mind that it won't give you the best passive noise isolation as other truly wireless earphones and of course a little bit more sound leaking as well. These do let in some noise as much as it leaks out so if you're in a busy place you might have to turn it up to maybe 75 percent volume to encapsulate yourself here with your own audio and kind of drone out the outside noise. Again, that's only if you're in a very busy environment.  
Powerbeats Pro True Bass
Now jumping into bass. it's deep at loud volumes its rumbling. It feels like I'm wearing wired earphones at times considering how deep these actually go. If you like bass no question the Powerbeats Pro is it the Jaybird X4 run ex tees were the next closest in bass for me but Jaybird X4 offers a punchy variation or more of a bass boosted audio signature. Versus offering deep bass like the Powerbeat Pros. Now going into the mid-range, the louder you go the more basses experience that's pretty obvious but I do notice the mid-range is just ever so slightly overshadowed by bass most. Having most average consumers, I think they'll be fine with this or the tolerance level is still within reason for most consumers.  Now if you're more of a technical audio listener or if you don't like the bass then you might prefer something more has more emphasis on the vocals / mid-range something that may be a little bit more forward in that mid-range frequency. This is simply a matter of preference the high frequencies would never ear in your tingey in my opinion but if anything, that is clear or lacking actually in some resolution or detail on the top and especially that loud volumes at moderate listening levels. It's not a big deal, a little bit more detail a little bit more Sparkle up top would have been much better as for soundstage there isn't much of a wide soundstage either you get decent audio separation but nothing huge or class defining. powerbeats pro These are great with hip-hop and EDM most but not all pop songs will do well. Those favoring vocals, I would consider these. Powerbeats Pros are no question bass ear truly wireless earphones if you prefer a pair that's more so for jamming outs verses technical accuracy, the Powerbeats Pro are recommended to. At least give them a try if you highly value the better life connectivity, the ear hooks alone comfort instability. I'd go from recommended to highly recommend it as not many other are offering the core functionalities at this level. Again, I think the biggest thing for you as a consumer you have to consider if you like Basie audio or not.  check on Amazon Read the full article

A drabble: Audrey Jensen, Scream
Tumblr media
(Not my gif!)
Anonymous said:
If you're still doing them could you please do #17 with Audrey Jensen? If it's not too much to ask and you don't mind making it specific, I'm claustrophobic so maybe you could throw that in and add a little comfort/fluffy element to it?? If not that's fine <3
Yup, sure :)
17# : “Looks like we’re gonna be stuck here for a while”
“If you want to see Noah alive, you have an hour to go to this place”, killer said through my phone, and a map flashed on the screen.There was a red mark on top of a building. I’ve never been there, but I knew how to get to there. Killer had taken Noah, and now called to me and Audrey to harass and threaten us. Noah was like a brother to me, and I would do anything for him, so I grabbed my keys, and started to walk to my car.
“Hey, are you sure we should just do what the killer asks? This could be and probably is a trap, so we should think about this a bit”, Audrey said behind me. “I know that this can be a trap, but we don’t have much time, so I will do anything that the killer asks. I will not let him die!”, I said firmly back to her, and started my car. She stood outside for a while, thinking about her options and then jumped on a seat next to me. “Alright, let’s do this, for Noah”, she said.
When we drove to the yard of our destination, I got chills going down on my spine. The place was abandoned house. It was big, and looked like it was haunted, and as a sane person, I really didn’t want to go, but for Noah’s sake, I got out of the car and took a deep breath. “You ready?”, I heard Audrey ask. “Yup”, I lied, and started to walk towards the front door. It let out a loud creak as I opened it slowly, and then we entered in the house. It was dark, and full of spiderwebs and dust. “Am I the only one thinking that this is a really bad idea? I feel like we are the basic girls in every horror movie ever who get killed first”, Audrey asked. “You know, that really doesn’t help. But no, you are not the only one”, I answered.
We walked a bit further, until we heard a piercing scream coming from deeper the house. “Noah!”, we shouted at the same time. “Where are you?”, I screamed. “Please, somebody help me!”, I heard him shouting again. We ran in the house frantically, searching the source, but couldn’t find it. “Hey hey, Audrey. Let’s stop for awhile, and listen”, I said after sometime. We stood, and listened, until we realised that the voice was coming from below us. Soon we found a door, which lead to stairs that went under the building.
I swallowed, and started to walk, one step at the time. “Noah?”, I whispered. We didn’t get an answer. The stairs led to a tiny little room, and only thing in that room was a table, and on that table there was a bluetooth speaker. “What the he-” I got to say before we heard a loud bang. I looked Audrey in the eyes, and then we ran right back upstairs, only to see that the door was closed. I tried to open it, but it was locked.
“Open this you son of a bitch!”, I screamed and beat the door, but it stayed closed. “This cannot happen, I have to get out”, I whispered. “Hey, it’s fine, we’ll find a way out, I promise”, Audrey tried to soothe me, but it didn’t work. I took my phone, and tried to call Emma, but there wasn’t signal. I ran back to the room, but there wasn’t a signal either. “Shit!”, I screamed.
Suddenly I realised how small the room was, and I started to panic. I couldn’t breath, and I felt pressure on my chest. I dropped on my knees, and tried to calm down, but the walls seemed to come closer and closer. “Oh god, no,no..”, I whimpered in panic, my hands trembling.
“Hey, what’s going on?”, Audrey asked with very worried tone. “I--I can’t-I can’t breathe”, I choked out. “Look at me. (Y/N), please, look at me”, she said to me firmly. I raised my head, and looked into her beautiful and piercing blue eyes. “Just like that, and now, breathe at the same sync as me, okay?”, she asked. I nodded. “Alright. Now, breathe slowly in, with your nose”, she said, and did it with me. “Then, count to three”. “One..Two...Three. And now, exhale slowly with your mouth”, she guided me. We did it again and again, until I was somewhat calm again.
“Wow. I didn’t know that you knew how to calm down from a panic attack”, I said after a silence. “I guess there is a lot that you don’t know about me”, she said with a smile and a wink. I blushed and looked at my feet. “But I would like to know more”, I told her after a while. I looked at her in the eyes, and smiled back. “Well, in that case, tell me what you want to know, we have time since it looks like we’re gonna be stuck here for a while”.
I thought for a while my first question. “Well..You always wear that key necklace. Does it have a story?”, I asked. She looked at me surprised, like she wasn’t expecting that kind of a question. “My mother gave it to me, before she left to the hospital”, she said quietly, and touched the necklace. “Oh. I am sorry, you don’t have to talk about her if you don’t want to”, I apologized. “It’s fine. You know, I think she would have liked you”, she smiled. “But now is my turn”, she changed the subject. “Hmm...Do you have somebody special in your sight?”, she asked. “Wh-What?”, I blushed. “Well? Do you?”, she giggled. “Umm..maybe?”, whispered smiling. “Who is it?”, she asked, and I could almost swear that I heard a tint of jealousy in her voice. “Nope, not gonna tell”, I laughed. “Oh c’moon”, she pleaded. “No way”, I said stubbornly. “Fine. Then I won’t talk to you until you tell me”, she said, and crossed her arms. “That is so unfair”, I laughed, and poked her in her side. She waved her head as a “No”. “You really are not gonna speak to me ever again?”, I asked. Now she waved her head as a “Yes”.
I breathed in, and decided to go with it. “Well, in that case. The person that I like doesn’t seem to like me back in that way, so it seems that I am in this so called “Friendzone”, or that is what Jake calls it. But if I can’t have this person as a partner, then I want them as a friend at least. As long as this person is happy”, I rambled. I looked carefully in her eyes, but I couldn’t read her emotions. So, I decided to take it further. “This person is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen walking on the earth. If this person would be an animal, it would be a cat most definitely”, I laughed and continued; “This person has alway protected me, and taken care of me. But it seems to be that this person is interested in somebody else than me, but I am trying to accept it. It just..It is just really hard to see this person, when they do that cute little thing with her nose when embarrassed, or how this person is always ready to protect me, or others close to this person. But, as I said, I can only look, not touch”, I spoke longingly.
“Well, I told you, so now you can speak again”, I changed my tone back to happy after some silence. She didn’t say anything, so I looked at her. She stared me right in the eyes, and had this weird expression. “Wh-”, I got to say before she cut my words by kissing me hard. My heart started to beat like crazy, and I carefully touched her black short hair. I brushed it, and kissed back with same passion. Soon she slipped her tongue in the kiss, and my breath hitched in my throat, and I felt like electricity going through my body.
Just when things started to get heated, I heard sirens from outside. “Did you hear that?”, I asked and broke the kiss. “I’ll ignore them if you do”, Audrey purred. “You idiot”, I laughed, and rose. I pulled her up too, and we ran to the upstairs door. We beat it, and screamed, until a police opened it.
15 minutes later we were sitting in an ambulance, on our way back to home. “How did the police know where we were?”, I wondered out loud. “Oh, I texted to Emma where we were going”, Audrey answered. “You little..”, I started to scold her, but she had this adorable look on her face, so all I could do was to kiss her.
(A/N) AAAAAAAh I am sooooooooo sorry for a lack of posting, but I am back now!

Let's see here...the first major thing I have to write about is foobar2000!!!
I'm perhaps ages late to the party (?), but I've finally taken the plunge and switched from using iTunes to foobar2000!  This was not a decision I took lightly, but I decided to pull the trigger after working with foobar2k and considering the pros and cons, and I've been pretty satisfied so far!
Foobar2000 is a free windows-based audio player that is known for many for its customizability, advanced features, modular design, and basically being the dream of anyone who is not scared of complexity and wants to really have their music player function the way THEY want.  It's also available for OSX as of ~1.5 years ago, though I have not tested that build yet.
Perhaps more importantly, foobar2000 now (as of ~a year ago I think) has a mobile client, available for all of iOS/Android/WindowsPhone.  This is key as one of the primary things tying me to iTunes has always been the fact that my ecosystem includes a lovely iPhone SE running iOS and of course I'd really like to have my music readily available on that.
Right, so let's first talk about the things I'm losing during the move to fb2k:
First off, syncing music to iOS is a bit more involved.  Unfortunately, foobar2000 has no way of directly interfacing with the iOS media library, so instead you write music to the foobar2000 app's sandbox and only fb2k can access it.  There is no "automatic" way to do this, but fortunately the iOS fb2k app includes an FTP server that you can use to transfer files via FTP.  This is as far as I can tell the best way to transfer music to fb2k mobile as you can't access the foobar2000 app sandbox directly (without jailbreaking your phone).
Of course there's no built-in "sync management" like there is with iTunes, so instead I first use foobar_onewaysync to copy out the relevant playlists (and their associated music files) to a temporary directory, then use WinSCP to mirror that on the iPhone over FTP.  So like I said, this is "a bit more involved", but now that I have that flow set up it's as simple as running those two commands and waiting for them to complete.
Like with all things in foobar2000, I have so much more =confidence= in what is happening here with the sync.  There would be all kinds of uncommon weird annoyances back when iTunes was in the picture -- you'd find it transferring old files again and again (why?), you'd find that certain songs were missing and showed up on the device but weren't actually playable (why?), you'd find that every time you did a sync one of your playlists mysteriously duplicated itself (why?).  I think a recurring theme so far with foobar2000 is that you have to spend some effort setting up your workflow for doing certain things, but once you do, it Just Works.
The REAL main thing I'm losing during the move to fb2k is actually a significant one: it's bluetooth media browsing via the AVRCP protocol.  In other words, browsing music via my car's on-board display (or through the controls on the steering wheel).  I can still trigger playback and track skips via bluetooth, but any attempts to browse the tracks/playlists/etc from my car's bluetooth interface will result in it looking at the native iOS music library, which is now empty (as all of the music is in foobar2000).  This is actually a pretty major loss as it means that I can't really fire up a music playlist in my car unless I'm parked or stopped for a good minute, as I have to actually do that browsing on my phone itself.
As far as I can tell there's no real way around this.  foobar2000 used to have an iPod management module but that is looooooooong defunct and iOS tends to be very closed off in terms of these sorts of things anyways.  The only way I could really get this functionality back would be to bring iTunes back into the picture, and then use iOS music as my mobile app while still using foobar2000 as my desktop/laptop music player.  We'll see if it comes to that, but I don't think it will.  foobar2000 mobile is a better media player anyhow, and I don't see an efficient way to sync from foobar2000->through itunes->to the iOS device for anything more than maybe a single playlist.
That being said, what I'm =gaining= in the transition to foobar2000 feels well worth the loss so far:
- A =working= ReplayGain implementation!  I now use replaygain to play music at adjusted volumes for normalized listening.  iTunes has a proprietary "Sound Check" feature that is supposed to do this but completely fails on VBR-encoded files.  This is super useful for social dance DJing in particular as having normalized (normalized as in equal perceived loudness, not as in peaking at 0dB) volumes is pretty important.
- I've customized my UI to include a clickable waveform display that shows the current song progress and can be clicked to seek to any point in the song.  Super useful for visually seeking to a given point in the song!
- The ability to work with ID3 tags and file metadata in a very fully-featured and rich way.  Want to convert all ID3 tags to ID3v2.3?  Want to batch-append a genre or grouping tag to 500 songs?  fb2k can do it all!
- The ability to ensure that your media library's files are organized correctly and robustly.  iTunes of course attempted to do this automatically, but it wasn't customizable at all and there were a lot of times when it would come up with filenames and/or paths that seemed a little....off.  fb2k gives you the option to organize your paths however you want and will give you a preview of what files need to be moved where before actually reorganizing everything.
Anyhow, that's sort of been an ongoing pet project of mine, but I'm basically done with the switch now and have been enjoying not only the new functionality but most of all the peace of mind and robustness that fb2k offers.
=====
Alongside that big customization project, I also spent quite a while looking at mechanical keyboards and finally decided to get myself a pink Filco Majestouch 2!!!  I first started thinking about buying a new keyboard when I saw the Razer Huntsman Quartz Pink edition, but after some research I figured that I'd probably be much happier with a less "consumer-y" brand and decided on the Majestouch 2.
Just look at that beauty!  It's possible I might replace the keycap color scheme with something a little more exciting in the future, but I'm happy to just try going with the all-pink for now.  I decided on Cherry MX 'brown' switches, as I'm not a huge fan of the infamous clickety-clackity noises of the blues, and I'd still like some tactile feedback (so not going with the reds).  I also decided to go with a "TenKeyLess" size -- you'll notice that it has the arrow keys and home/end/printscreen/scrolllock/etc but no numpad.  Having full arrow keys around I think is still very useful and necessary but I think I can actually live without a numpad as there are only really a few cases where I really use it and I think the prospect of having that additional desk space freed up (and having the mouse be closer to the keys) is pretty exciting.  (if I REALLY miss the numpad I could always buy a standalone numpad, but I get the feeling I really won't miss it that much)
Anyways, that should theoretically arrive in a couple days -- super exciting!!!
I've also already gone ahead and got a Quartz Pink Razer Basilisk to go along with it:
Unfortunately for getting an aesthetically-pleasing pink mouse there are wayyy fewer options than keyboards, so it was pretty much between this and the pink Razer Lancehead (which has a symmetrical design), or perhaps a pink Zowie mouse, but that seemed to both look worse and have a worse scroll wheel/etc. (despite being lighter/etc).  Razer's Synapse software is.....a bit shady to say the least, but unfortunately that is an evil I ended up having to swallow for now.
On the plus side, the mouse itself is working great.  I was previously running a Logitech MX Revolution and this mouse feels more sensitive/smoothly responsive, and the control mapping is actually a step up as well.  There's an optional thumb trigger (they give you two different sizes!) that you can use as a modifier to give yourself a whole other set of mappings, so for example thumbswitch + mouse wheel up increases my volume, thumbswitch + mouse middle click triggers a pause/play in whatever media player is open, etc.  The media controls also work better than that of Logitech's -- no annoying onscreen display and it is also pretty intelligent about looking for media players to send the command to.  I miss having the scroll wheel free-spin function, but I'm fine living without it to be honest.
No bluetooth version so I'm back to having a cord, but I don't actually find myself minding that too much either.  Plus, it's got two multicolored lights (one in the scroll wheel and one on the logo display) and I have them set up to react to whatever audio is playing from my computer, which is pretty spiffy as well.  If I wanted I could have gotten a keyboard that also has fancy backlighting (basically the corresponding Razer model) but I really didn't consider that a priority, so just the mouse lights will have to do.
Oh, related to mice: I downloaded Smooze for OSX and am happily using it for one thing and one thing only: disabling scroll wheel acceleration!  I'm not super against scroll wheel acceleration in theory, but in practice the way OSX handles scroll wheel acceleration for mouse has just never seemed to be sensible for any mouse I've used (maybe it's different for an actual apple mouse).  Now that I've completely disabled it, I can go back to sensible scrolling, yay!!!
=====
In other news, our game Goodnight Meowmie has gotten quite a lot of attention since I posted it on itch.io, which is really great to see, especially because I feel like this is the most significant game I've ever worked on.  It's gotten about 2.5k views on itch since I threw it up there, which is pretty amazing.  It's also been really cool watching people's video playthroughs of it on youtube, seeing their reactions and interpretations of the game.  It really makes me feel like we did something worthwhile, that we were able to reach out to people and have them listen to our story, and perhaps take it to heart.
=====
In other other news, I'll be DJing at Friday Night Waltz this Friday!  Be sure to come out if you're in the area, it's gonna be great!
Life has actually been going pretty fantastically lately -- this weekend was a lot of fun, between FNW, spending time with good friends, and just being in a good place.  I feel as if I'm not losing my attachment with the past because of it either.  Things are really good right now.

The Polar Vantage V is the Finish companies latest top-line smartwatch, but can it go toe-to-toe with the high-end watches of its competitors? Let’s see!! FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
Polar Vantage V Review – Have Polar Made a Garmin Killer?
Polar has had a bit of an underdog status over the last few years. While Garmin has continued its relentless march buffing the Fenix series, and allowing trickle down of features to its other watches, and Suunto releasing and also polishing the Suunto Spartan Series, the offerings from Polar in the M430 and the M600 have looked a little tired.
BUT the Fins have not been sitting wringing their hands, and have been developing two brand new watches: the Polar Vantage V and M series. To be clear, the Polar Vantage series feels like a device born out of a company that knew it had to nail the watch on the first iteration, with the latest 2019 firmware running on the Polar Vantage V they have.
I have worn a Garmin Fenix as my daily watch since the Fenix 2, came out, and feel that the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus is one of the most fully featured sports watches on the market. So it might surprise you to hear that the Polar Vantage V has REPLACED the Fenix 5 as my daily wear watch! Read on to find out why!
Currently, the Polar Vantage V is available in three colours, white, black, and orange. Which I feel is a nice lineup, bright, subtle and colourful.
While I’m normally a fan of yellow straps, I do think that the orange colour and the gunmetal grey case are the sweet spot of the lineup
Let’s be honest here, Polar has been playing catchup in several important areas when it compares to Garmin and Suunto, but they have been playing a lot of attention to the areas where the now practically ancient Polar V800 was really having it’s lunch money stolen. As a result, there are a few salient points that should be raised where Polar has literally leapfrogged their competitors with the Polar Vantage V
Effective integration of a touch screen, in a way that enhances the experience of using the watch
Polar Precision Prime – The Polar OH1 demonstrated that Polar understand how to work with optical heart rate sensors, and have refined this with an additional sensor to be able to assist the watch in knowing it is in contact with the skin
Running power, not integrated, but baked into the hardware. You can also still opt to use Stryd if you wanted/had the device
User feedback, training feedback, with a dedicated widget is excellent
  Polar Vantage V Review – Design
So what has Polar put in the box for us?
Inside the box, we have a couple of manuals, the actual Polar Vantage v, a charge cable -nothing really mind blowing
There are two versions of the Polar Vantage V, without the chest strap, and one with the Polar H10 heart rate monitor and chest strap.
As good as the optical HR strap become and the Polar “Precision Prime” sensor is excellent as we’ll see later. Optical HR devices are not able to do R-R variability and thus are still needed for the orthostatic tests, which a key to the advances training features on the Polar Vantage V.
From the front, the Polar Vantage 9 screen sits practically flush with the casing on the black version of the watch, made to feel all the larger with the glass border before the bezel
The Polar Vantage V really ups the style points with the very thin, brushed metal surfaces of the case, which practically disappear when viewed face on
As a result of the rough texture to the metal case, and the slim-line sides, I’ve actually found the Polar Vantage V quite resistant to scuffs and scrapes
Whilst I’ve never really been a fan of touch screens on watches, the Polar Vantage V does make good of the functionality, mainly through scrolling across long menus and some of the very detailed feedback that it displays after a workout.
To be clear, I have no issue per say with touchscreens. The Polar touch screen devices work well, as obviously do the Apple and Samsung touch screen watches. BUT that is because touch is their primary mode of input, and the whole operating system is built around it. Rarely have I seen a half way house that works. I’m pleased to say that the Polar Vantage V touch screen is more of an accoutrement to using the device, rather than the main feature. As such ,I was surprised to see how is adds to the device positively, rather than being an irritation, as I’ve found with similar sports watches such as the Suunto Spartans
Staying with the screen for a moment. The backlight has one setting, on or off. Which is a shame as the brightness isn’t bad, but fractionally brighter would be better from in the sun etc. Additionally when using the backlight in the dark, unfortunately, the illumination isn’t uniform. There are not deal breakers by any stretch, but definitely minor irritations
Back to the controls, on the RIGHT side of the case, we have the three buttons which navigate through the Polar Vantage V. The middle button in red works as a “select” option and also the power button. The two outside buttons mainly act as menu navigation.
If we move to the left side of the watch, there are the openings for the barometer needed for the inbuilt running power. The top button toggling the back light and the bottom watch menu/long press to sync
From the watch face screen, pressing the bottom button will take you through the main menu of the watch: Start Training –> Timers –> Orthostatic Test –> Settings
The Polar Vantage V has an interesting setup for viewing your metrics. Rather than a specific widget menu, you swipe, or click, across the watch face
You scroll through: Standard face –> Activity Tracking –> Training Effect –> Heart Rate –> Training history –> Sleep
The sleep widget face is a good example of the additional data. From this watch face, if you click the central red button, then you are loaded into the previous night’s sleep tracking data
You will get similar deep dive information on any of the other watch screens
If we flip the Polar Vantage V over can see one of the most interesting developments from Polar, their Precision Prime sensor, which is a distinct evolution from their Polar OH1 optical sensor.
The metal dots also work as the contact pads for the charger. There is a small magnet in the charger that helps the dock align to the back of the watch, and a little notch on the left the watch interfacing in the charger
The band on the Polar Vantage V can be removed, but it is not a quick release strap, and crucially can’t be used interchangeably with the Polar Vantage M stars
So that pretty much covers the overview of the Polar Vantage V, but what is it like to use?
  Polar Vantage V Review – Specification
Screen Resolution: 240×240 – with Corning Gorilla 3 glass
Weight: 66g
Bezel: brushed steel (as this matters to some people)
Communication: BlueTooth LE – no ANT+ here, which will always be a deal breaker for some
Sensors: Altimeter, Digital compass, Optical Heart Rate, GPS, GLONASS
Battery – 320 mAh – Up to 40 hours training with GPS and optical heart rate
Waterproofing: 30 m – not as much as some of the other units, but in keeping
Activities: >80
Standard features: Corning Gorilla 3 glass, GPS, Valencell HRM, 24/7 activity tracking, HRM works with swimming
While it is only a very small thing, due to using the Corning Gorilla Glass 3, Polar has a hydrophobic coating on the glass surface of the Polar Vantage V, something which I find makes the screen easier to view both in the pool, and if you end up doing a run in the rain!
Polar Vantage V Review – Manual
Polar have an INCREDIBLY in-depth electronic manual for their Polar Vantage V you can access HERE
Polar Vantage V Review – Using the Watch
As with every sports watch, the first step is to download the corresponding app. In the case of the Polar Vantage V, you are looking for Polar Flow – Here for iOS and here for Google. You’ll still need to sign up to Polar Flow, in order to get access and more importantly download the latest updates for the watch before you use it for the first time. This is very important, as mentioned previously there were some rather big holes in the Polar Vantage V when the device first came to market. As far as I’m concerned about releasing a smart watch in 2019 without smart notifications is just not acceptable – thankfully resolved now! – You can also update via the desktop apps
It’s really worthwhile pointing out two things, i) Polar is very honest about their estimated sync/update times when updating via the phone app ii) sync/updates can be a little slow if it says 15 mins, it means 15 mins. Go and grab a coffee
The main reason for the delay in this review coming out, is because I was waiting for the second major firmware update which brought with it the significant features of GPS Route Guidance and smart notifications (how someone can launch a phone WITHOUT notifications today is utterly beyond me)
When the new firmware landed, it also seemed to bring with it a Bluetooth bug, meaning the watch needed to be restarted frequently at least once a week. You can normally tell that the communications have fallen over as the watch will say it is not connected to your phone.
Won’t connect to other sensors either.
Yet will still receive smart notifications – certainly an odd one
Similarly, I’ve had several episodes where the Polar Vantage V would just curl up and die. – Edit this seems to have been resolved with the Late Feb firmware update
Polar Vantage V Review – Smart Watch Features
After the recent firmware update, the Polar Vantage V notifications can go toe-toe with the best in class. Now you’ll get all the Facebook birthday reminders and other daily distractions directly to your wrist
When an alert comes into your phone, the watch gives a small buzz, at which point, if you raise your arm you the watch activates, and displays the smart notification. The Polar Vantage V does NOT have the option for smart previews as we’ve seen from other Polar devices in the past. You either have notifications or not.
#gallery-0-16 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-16 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-16 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-16 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
If you have missed the little buzz to tell you there is an alert, then on the watch face a bouncing red ball appears at the bottom of the screen. If you swipe up using the touch-sensitive display, it will bring up the notification and the notification menu.
If you scroll down to the bottom, there is also the option to clear all existing notifications. This is not restricted to phone notifications. Any alerts from the Polar Vantage V, such as a reminder to do your morning orthostatic test, will also appear here.
The Polar Vantage V also has limited two-way communication with your phone, allowing you to see who is calling, and dismiss them if need be. It’s my sister, so of course, I’ll ignore that call!
Similarly given the two-way functionality, I do miss the “find my phone” option from the Garmin Fenix 5.
From a smartwatch perspective, i.e. a watch that something will live on your wrist most of the time, smart alerts, are thankfully not very intrusive. I say this, because there is no easy way activate a “do not disturb” mode on the Polar Vantage V other than going into the Polar app on the phone or digging into watches menus system, which is touch surprising as you can lock the watch simply with a long press of the top LEFT button?
Initially, I found the lack of smart previews a little annoying; I couldn’t just glance at my wrist and see what is going on – for one thing, the “rise to view” function can be a touch flaky at times. HOWEVER the longer I used the Vantage, the more I came to realise that NOT having the smart previews was actually less disruptive for me. I’ve found devices such as the Fitbit Charge series which merely alerts you to say there is a message slightly useless. The Polar Vantage V falls into a nice middle ground where the control over the notifications is returned to you.
Polar Vantage V Review – Activity Tracking
The Polar Vantage V has just one watch face, ok that isn’t fair, you can opt for digital or analogue faces but that is it. Instead, the data displayed varies around the watch face. You can see that with the activity tracking page
As mentioned above, the activity tracking on Polar Vantage V is quite straightforward. You activity simply goes to fill up the outer circle of the screen as you potter about your day.
If you hit your goal, in my case of the default 10,000 steps, the Polar Vantage V will buzz to alert you. But nothing further. If you want to dig deeper into your activity, as mentioned above, you hit the red button on the RIGHT of the screen. Giving your step count and calorie burn
I’m a big fan of the new training load status, and the additional data it brings. Polar clearly understand I am going to be much more motivated when I can constantly see my training load, and more horrific if I’ve had a busy week and it slips to detraining!?!
#gallery-0-17 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-17 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-17 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-17 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Training load is comprised of cardio training load, in addition to muscle load and perceived effort. As such I have found this element of the Polar Vantage V, much more effective than Garmin’s move nudges. These are obviously very personal insights, and your own preferences may mean some approach is more or less irritating than another
Further tracking is available as sleep monitoring on the Polar Vantage V. As with activity tracking; you access more data from the specific watch face
Even so, the info on the watch itself a textual representation of the data you’ll see on the app, covering Sleep Time, Actual Sleep and Sleep Continuity
If you sync and look at the Polar app, you get just the same data but with the addition of a sleep graph.
While the Polar Vantage does have 24×7 HRM, this data is not displayed in the sleep section, but in its own part of the app. At least there it is highlighted when you are catching zzz’s
The setup for sleep tracking is relatively minimal, just wear the watch. Polar Vantage V monitors your movement, and when registers the activity pattern associated with sleep, you get the recording. At the time of writing this, I haven’t had the time to compare with the latest Apple Beddit Sleep Monitor, but the Polar Vantage V is providing tracking within 4-7 minutes of the recordings of my existing Beddit Sleep monitor.
In the mornings, you have the option of providing feedback about how you slept
This is probably a good point to talk about the Polar Vantage Precision Prime sensor, as we’ve raised the point of 24×7 HR tracking. At first, glance, naming the sensor the Precision Prime seems a little… well like asking for trouble. Then you start to break is down.
Polar has basically redesigned things from the ground up when you compare with the Polar OH1 sensor
The Prime is comprised of five pairs of LEDs, and four sensors. It is difficult to see on the above picture, but each pair is comprised of a green and red LED. However Polar has found that the central pairing is not required, and to increase battery life has disabled one of those LEDs
Normally sports watch makers don’t actually shout about the accuracy of their optical HRM, as the chest strap has been the gold standard. Polar if sufficiently confident that they have designed a sensor accurate to within 1BPM of the true value.
The accuracy of heart rate monitor: ± 1% or 1 bpm, whichever larger. The definition applies to stable conditions.
Very impressive, but still not sufficient to remove the need for the Polar H10 for orthostatic testing
The reason Polar has needed to spend this much effort in developing the Prime in that movement artefacts are the big headache for optical HRM units. There are a lot of sources of noise when it comes to simply use light to measure capillary blood flow. Thus Polar has leveraged the charging dots on the Polar Vantage V to provide a filter function to the HRM calculation algorithm. The metal dots allow the watch to determine the strength of the skin contact.
The better the contact, the less external light will be hitting the sensors, and the less noise filtering required, further filtering is determined from the accelerometer to try to deal with motion artefacts. Difficult to achieve, but seemingly to be effective, perhaps Polar wasn’t over selling things with the Polar Precision Prime namings
It is going to be interesting to see how the competitors respond if nothing else
  Polar Vantage V Review – Cycling
Let’s look at cycling as the first sport with the Polar Vantage V. Press and hold the red button to shortcut to your last sport. So here cycling. That first launch screen confirms everything is good to go. HR locked (green circle), GPS searching (red circle), bike sensor (red so searching).
The GPS+ GLONASS chipset acquired lock quickly, if fractionally faster than the Garmin Fenix 5. Given a shared chipset with Suunto, the acquisition time was about the same!
Once all set, hit the red side button again and enjoy the ride!
How did the optical HRM do for Polar?
Well, certainly a mixed bag there! Vibration from cycling is notorious for interfering with wrist-mounted optical sensors… so it is interesting to see if the metal contacts of the Polar Precision Prime have been effective. Certainly, the Polar Vantage V agrees with the 4iiii and Wahoo TICKRFit, both of which are protected from road vibrations to a greater degree. The Garmin Fenix 5 was alright at the start, and then clearly got lost.
Thankfully on zwift, things are better
Also of note, as this is the first activity we’ve done, when you have completed your work out, you get a recovery advisor which pops up at the end of every activity telling you when you are good to go again
This is based off both your current efforts, or training load, but also the feedback from the orthostatic tests
You can actually set the Polar Vantage V to set reminders in the morning, which can actually be quite helpful when I’m half dead brushing my teeth in the morning!
As mentioned the Polar Vantage does need to be connected to a chest HRM which is able to R-R variability to determine your recovery status. About 45 secs lying down, then standing up, and waiting to see how long it takes for your heart rate to return to resting
#gallery-0-18 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-18 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-18 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-18 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
You need to provide the Polar Vantage V feedback on your muscles, energy levels and sleeping at the end of the test, whereupon it will give you feedback on your training load if possible, or tell you to test more often
  #gallery-0-19 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-19 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-19 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-19 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Polar Vantage V Review – Running
To my mind Polar have previously released the best focused running watch with the Polar M430 – yes it doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the current generation of watches, but for the price, a great bit of kit. With the Polar Vantage V, Polar have taken that great running pedigree, further enhanced the optical HRM, and now added wrist-mounted running with power!
During a run, you have access to various metrics, time elapsed, pace, distance, heart rate, altitude and now power. Which is initially set up on a different data field page
The initial screens set out on the device are all clear and very legible for the most part, and well, more importantly, they are logically set out.
All of which is quite good, it isn’t, however, possible to adjust the fields on the device, but you can easily make the changes from the Polar Flow app as long as your phone is with you. To get the Polar Vantage setup, just as you want, does take a bit of extra work compared to other devices – particularly Garmin’s Fenix
#gallery-0-20 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-20 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-20 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-20 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
Oh, something else you might notice on the above pictures “HR visible to other devices” this is only possible on certain gym equipment, and much to my annoyance, not on my Garmin head units, or on Zwift.
OK, but enough of the setup, sometimes a run can be overly complicated! To the fields!!
I’ll be honest I really prefer having the powered running built right into the watch, and no need to sideload apps etc. Yes, I might not have more detailed information on the run, that Stryd gives such as GCT while running along, but for the price, the inclusion of power alone is going to make the Polar Vantage V a device of considerable interest for many
At the end of a run, you get a breakdown of your power zones on watch; such is the level of integration with the Vantage. I think it is quite fair to say that the power function here is given equal time to that of heart rate monitoring
But pretty graphics are only so good. What is the quality of the data?
Much like the Garmin Power Pod, the actual power readings are very different when comparing the Stryd output with that of the Polar Vantage V. HOWEVER the actual traces seem to mirror each other reasonably along the run. We see significant variation compared to the Styrd though
Running with power is definitely here to stay, but it still seems that determining accuracy is still being debated
One thing which IS missing from both the running and cycling functions of the Polar Vantage is Strava Segments. This is another scheduled feature which is still being worked on. Polar does have an amazing device here, but without a doubt, it is being held back by software and firmware developments
So in terms of going for a run, how does the optical HR fair? The Polar Vantage and OH1 align nicely pretty much all the way through. The Wahoo TICKRfit is a touch odd at the start, but after about 1 mins comes in line.
The Garmin Fenix is doing its own thing as ever
It is worth while noting that the graphs have a 2-second smoothing applied to them, to make the trends a touch clearer. When we do that, while we can see that all the heart rate traces  (save Garmin) are now within the same ball park. I wonder if one of the reasons for the Wahoo TICKRfit being slightly different as that is was run on the opposite arm?
One of the things which you don’t have to worry about so much with the Polar Vantage is battery life. Again in stark contrast to Garmin user define everything, Polar has the GPS recording fixed at the 1-second rate. You know you are going to get a reliable 40 hours of quality GPS data for that. However, there may be some in the ultrarunner camp who wish that you could sacrifice a little accuracy for greater battery life. This has been my opinion through the whole of the Polar Vantage V testing period. It isn’t perfect, but this watch has been built to do everything well for the average sports person up to amateur triathlete
  Polar Vantage V Review – Swimming
Polar has matched Suunto here, bringing optical HRM into the pool. The Polar Vantage V does seem to lag a little compared to the Suunto, and similarly is reading ~10BPM low.
When in the pool, again the screens can be customised, but have all of the information most people want right at the start. Unfortunately, that customisation doesn’t really run to any useful swimming metrics
When you go for a pool swim, before hitting start there is an options menu which will allow you to select your pool length – either from the default 25m, 50m, and 25 yard and 50-yard pools, or custom pool size from 15 m all the way to 330m!!!
Then you do the whole splish splash thing. Given the limitations of the Polar Vantage V display when in the pool, it is an interesting surprise to find considerably more detail when you return to the Polar Flow on a desktop
We’ve got what I would consider all the missing data! Strokes/min, Swolf, the software even does an attempt at interpreting your stroke type. I think the lack of recording any front crawl says more about my lack technique post fracture rather than the monitoring of the Vantage V!
Polar Vantage V Review – Routing
With the 3.0 Firmware, along with smart notifications, we also received Routes and Back to the Start functionality.
Let’s deal with Routes on the Polar Vantage V.
You can go to any of your normal route creation sites. Or grab an existing route on Strava, and upload it to Polar Flow as a Favourite. Unfortunately, You don’t appear to be able to designate a past workout as a favourite on the Polar Flow App
A Favourite, such as a Route is activated from either the Favourites menu, or the cog when you open up a training sport
From there select your training plan, or Route
You will then be given the options of Start Point –> Mid-Route –> End Point to reverse direction –> Mid-Route to reverse direction
If you are starting the route midway through, you’ll be directed to the route via the shortest possible distance, which may not actually be possible!
You don’t get a map on the Polar Vantage, and you are literally following a previous GPS path. As long as you acknowledge that, things should be ok
You shouldn’t go too far wrong even in the middle of fields. If you did end up wandering off, you’d get appropriate prompts ‘On Course’ and ‘Off Course’ etc. to pull you back the course
  Polar Vantage V Review – Conclusion
Polar  has clearly done a lot of work to build a great first launch device. I think it is quite telling though that Polar still kept the M and V titles for the Vantage brand, melding together the M430 and V800 lines. I think that this new line may turn out the bit the hit that Polar needs
While I’ve been writing this review, I’ve had a series of little irritations with the Polar Vantage V. Pet peeves which just niggle, which make you think, no, I’m going to go back to my regular Garmin Fenix. But then you realise what is actually going on here
I think that the fact the Polar Vantage V “only” goes down to 30m water resistance is in keeping with the whole watch. The Vantage doesn’t QUITE have the reach of its competitors, but is MORE than good enough for 98% of the user base – do I actually need a watch which will go to 50m? NO!
More importantly, shock news – The Polar Vantage V has pushed my Garmin Fenix 5 Plus from my wrist as a daily wear. If I want to do specific training – such as with the Stryd and GCT data, I’ll return to the Fenix – and a chest strap, as that Garmin Elevate optical HR is terrible.
Overall the Polar Vantage V is just slightly more polished from a watch perspective than the other alternatives on the market, and has fewer significant irritations – exterior scratches less than the Suunto Spartans, reliable optical HR, unlike the Garmin units:
Yes the Garmin Fenix 5 Plus is technically a superior device, (or should that be more capable?) but I’ve found the Polar Vantage covers 95% of the things the Fenix does which really matter to me – onboard device MP3 doesn’t matter to me, I have NEVER once used Garmin Pay, I don’t have any ANT+ only devices now and the Garmin IQ app/ watch faces I can easily live without. No, it is NOT perfect, so only 4/5 TG stars, but definitely a recommended device. With a bit more firmware development Polar should have a run away success with the Polar Vantage V, and as far as I’m concerned the pending Strava Segment firmware, due later in 2019 will make this a 5/5 watch
  Is the @PolarGlobal Vantage V A Garmin Killer? As a long term Garmin Fenix 5 wearer, I'd say a cautious no... BUT my conclusion to the #PolarVantageV review might surprise you! @polarUK_IRE #PolarVantage The Polar Vantage V is the Finish companies latest top-line smartwatch, but can it go toe-to-toe with the high-end watches of its competitors? 4,805 more words

Creative Muvo 2c Review
New Post has been published on http://secondcovers.com/creative-muvo-2c-review/
Creative Muvo 2c Review
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push();
Creative is a familiar name when it comes to speakers and headphones. In its early days, it was the go-to brand for PC audio components, and today it sells a diverse range of consumer audio peripherals. Its Muvo series of portable Bluetooth speakers has generally been targeted at young people and those with active lifestyles, which is reflected in the products’ bright colours and snazzy designs.
We’ve reviewed a few of them in the past, including the Muvo 10, Muvo 20, and Muvo Mini. Today, we’ll be testing one of the company’s recent launches in India, the Muvo 2c. This pocket-sized speaker boasts of a water-resistant body and some interesting usage modes. With a sticker price of Rs 4,999, let’s see if it’s worth recommending.
Creative Muvo 2c design and features
The Muvo 2c ships in a clear acrylic box so you can see it from all sides. Inside, you get the speaker itself, a Micro-USB cable for charging and PC connectivity, a quick start guide, and warranty leaflets. The speaker is available in a range of bright colours internationally, but only the red, blue and black options are being sold in India. It easily fits in the palm of your hand so carrying it around isn’t a problem, and it’s fairly light at just 159g. The speaker has a plastic body with a rubberised coating, which gives it some grip. There’s a metal mesh covering the speaker in the front but no protection for the passive radiator at the back. This could be prone to damage if you’re not careful when transporting the speaker around.
The two rubber strips on the bottom offer good stabilisation, as even with bass-heavy tracks at full volume, the speaker doesn’t move about. There’s a rubber flap on the side which protects the 3.5mm aux input, microSD card slot, and Micro-USB port. However, the rubber flap is a bit to soft so re-sealing it takes a bit of effort.
  The Muvo 2c has a series of five hexagonal buttons on the top, along with a microphone and two LED indicators. The first button powers the speaker on or off, and the Bluetooth button is used for pairing and Play/ Pause functions. The third button, labeled M for mode, lets you switch sources between Bluetooth, aux in, microSD, and USB. The colour of the right-hand side LED light tells you which mode you’re in. You get a voice prompt only when you are ready to pair the speaker with a device but for everything else, you have to know what the colour of the LED means. The first LED on the left lights up red when the device is charging.
The Muvo 2c can handle a bit of dust and light splashes of water thanks to the IP66 certification, but it isn’t designed to be submerged under water. You can connect a second Muvo 2c speaker to it and use them in a stereo configuration. It also doubles up as a standalone MP3 player if you use a microSD card. The speaker supports cards of up to 128GB in capacity, and file formats including FLAC, MP3, WAV, and WMA. You also use the Sound Blaster Connect app for Android and iOS to browse through songs on a microSD card and switch sources remotely.
Creative doesn’t specify the size of the driver or supported frequency range, other than the fact that it’s a single full-range audio driver. It only supports the SBC Bluetooth audio codec but you can also answer calls using the built-in microphone.
  Creative Muvo 2c performance and battery life
There’s no NFC to aid in the pairing process, but doing it manually is quite painless. You can pair the speaker with multiple devices but you can only actively use one of them at a time. In order to play music from another source, you’ll have to first disconnect the one that’s currently playing.
The Muvo 2c is compatible with Creative’s Sound Blaster Connect app for your smartphone and Sound Blaster Control Panel for Windows and macOS. Sound Blaster Connect is a bit flaky on iOS, and it simply refused to detect the speaker despite our persistent efforts. On Android, the app managed to detect the speaker but kept saying it was ‘disconnected’, despite us being able to play songs, so that wasn’t very useful.
The Sound Blaster Control Panel app works better, and we tried it on a Mac. Here, you can switch between different audio profiles (Music, Movies, and Gaming) and customise each one with an equaliser preset, or adjust audio characteristics like boosting dialogues, etc. The firmware of the Muvo 2c can also be upgraded using this software. However, you don’t need the software to use the speaker with a Mac or PC, as simply plugging it into a USB port does the trick. 
Shop On SecondCovers
  We dumped a bunch of audio test files onto a 32GB microSD card and the speaker had no trouble playing them. To skip or go to a previous track, you can use the Mode button along with the volume up or down buttons. The files are played in sequence, even if they are in different folders.
As a speakerphone, the Muvo 2c does an okay job, but it’s not great. We found ourselves having to go really close to the speaker in order for the caller to hear us clearly. 
For a single-driver speaker of this size, the Muvo 2c gets really loud. Unfortunately, it feels strained once you push the volume beyond 85 percent. Here, the bass from the passive radiator also begins to diminish and the vocals and highs tend to overpower them. At moderate volumes, the speaker is able to deliver a decently wide soundstage with a fairly open and detailed mid-range. In Hotel California by The Eagles, the subtle thump of the bass drum is audible thanks to the passive radiator, and the cymbals have good separation from the other instruments.
The Muvo 2c struggles a bit with heavy bass tracks such as Starboy by The Weeknd at high volume levels, and isn’t very punchy at lower volumes either. We also noticed an intermittent glitch when using it with iOS devices, where the volume sync between the speaker and the phone would randomly break. This meant that changing the volume level on the phone would have no effect on the speaker’s volume. The only way to fix this would be to turn Bluetooth off and then on again on our iPhone.
Creative promises up to six hours of life with the built-in 650mAh battery, but we got much less than that when we tested the Muvo 2c. With the volume set to about 70 percent, we managed get only 3 hours and 32 minutes of continuous music playback, which isn’t great. With such a low battery capacity, there’s only so much you can hope for. You don’t get any audio cues about the battery level either, just a blinking red LED. You can check the battery level by double-pressing the Mode button, which makes the right LED change from green to yellow, purple or red, depending on the level.
Verdict The Creative Muvo 2c is nice-looking little Bluetooth speaker which packs in quite a bit of functionality for its size. We love its design (although some protection for the radiator would have been preferred), and the fact that it can be used as a compact standalone music player. The IP66 rating and the ability to use it as a USB audio device are also very nice bonuses. However, the single audio driver and passive radiator fall a bit short in delivering good bass and soundstaging. If what you’re after is great audio quality, the UE Wonderboom is a better pick for just a little more money. At its current price, the Muvo 2c feels a little too expensive as well.
Creative has an alternative called the Muvo 1c priced at Rs. 3,499 which is similar to the 2c in terms of dimensions and driver specifications, but that it lacks the microSD card slot and USB audio support, and is only available in one colour in India.
If you don’t mind compromising on battery life, the Muvo 2c is decent-sounding and versatile Bluetooth speaker. 
Price (MRP): Rs 4,999
Pros
Compact and rugged body
Crisp vocals and treble 
Varied usage modes
IP66 water- and dust-resistant
Cons
Exposed radiator
Mediocre battery life
Flaky apps 
Rating (Out of 5)
Design: 3.5
Performance: 3.5
Value for money: 3.5
Overall: 3.5

Audi is a repeat winner for Business Insider's 2017 Infotainment System of the Year
Audi's MMI-Virtual Cockpit is a repeat winner BI's Infotainment System of the Year. 
Audi narrowly beat back increased competition from four other finalists.
Volvo's risk-taking Sensus system was the runner-up
How good is Audi's MMI-Virtual Cockpit infotainment system? So good that it's our first repeat winner for Infotainment System of the Year in 2017.
Audi took the prize in 2016, and, if anything, the competition has stiffened since then. Consumers are demanding more than ever of the technology and connectivity features in their vehicles. If you aren't aiming for state of the art, particularly in the luxury realm, you're falling behind.
This year's finalist were:
Audi MMI-Virtual Cockpit
Ford SYNC 3-SYNC and MyFord Touch
General Motors MyLink/IntelliLink/Cue plus OnStar
Jaguar Land Rover InControl
Volvo Sensus
Connectivity, apps, smartphone integration (for voice calls and texting as well as email), GPS navigation, and autonomous-driving features are beginning to define the auto experience in ways that mechanical features did in previous decades.
As our cars become more deeply integrated with smart, internet-based tech, we think it's essential to provide our take on the carmakers that are doing the best job of pulling together all these elements — and don't forget to throw in Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — under the rubric of infotainment.
As we explained last year when we first handed out the award, a great infotainment system makes car ownership a pleasure; a poor system makes it a chore. A year later, the pace of change has accelerated. A chore has become a potential deal breaker, and all the automakers with subpar systems are trying to fix or improve this weakness.
Safety first
But rushing toward the transformation of the automobile into a rolling smartphone isn't necessarily a good idea. Car companies have to tread carefully with how they control the use of connectivity in vehicles. Consumer Reports has in the past recounted frequent owner complaints about balky infotainment systems. And distracted driving is just as big a problem in 2017 as it was in 2016.
Our methodology for choosing an Infotainment System of the Year hasn't changed from 2016. We consider a great system to be one that performs all its functions relatively seamlessly and with as much of an intuitive interface as possible. Right now, voice-recognition technologies are still at an early stage, but we certainly appreciate when a manufacturer's setup works as advertised and isn't clunkier than the more dangerous manual-entry-of-info modes. We also appreciate it if an infotainment system is part of a carmaker's business case for its vehicles and its technology.
For what it's worth, an impressive infotainment system isn't always like what you might get with a smartphone or a tablet. If it were, Tesla's massive touchscreen — which controls most vehicle functions and was a finalist last year — would win every year.
Reliability, ease of use, precision (especially when it comes to navigation), and the ability of a system to be operated while driving without endangering anyone were key criteria for our choice — which involved debate and discussion all year long among senior correspondent Matt DeBord, transportation reporters Ben Zhang and Danielle Muoio, and deputy editor Cadie Thompson.
The big winner — again!
Audi's MMI infotainment system is the gift that keeps on giving. It does everything well, from managing audio to providing superb and accurate navigation powered by Google Maps. It also has Bluetooth integration along with Audi Connect 4G LTE connectivity and a cluster of apps.
It isn't a touchscreen system. A central infotainment screen emerges from the dashboard, but you use a knob, buttons, and a touchpad to access the menus and features. In practice, it works just flawlessly as it did in 2016, from Bluetooth integration to the simple fact that thanks to the way it's organized, you won't be taking your eyes off the road as often as with touchscreen-style systems.
To be sure, the competition is catching up with Audi and in many cases ditching manual interfaces as much as possible and opting for as much touchscreen functionality as possible. But as we wrote last year, Virtual Cockpit continues to give the carmaker an edge.
Virtual Cockpit is an amazing technology that transforms the main instrument cluster into a customizable digital screen. It can, for example, display the navigation map and send the traditional gauges to the corners of the screen. This means that a driver's eyes are front and center much of the time, rather than darting between the road ahead, the infotainment screen, and the instruments (as well as the rearview and side-view mirrors).
There are three modes, according to Audi: Classic, Infotainment, and Sport. The first retains the traditional instrument-cluster layout, with additional info concentrated in between the tachometer and speedometer. The second valorizes information. The third — available in Audi's sport trims — goes old school and presents a basic instrument display.
Virtual Cockpit is managed using steering-wheel controls, so it's even more safety-oriented. In 2016, it was available only on the A4 sedan, the Q7 SUV, and R8 supercar. In 2017, it comes on Audi's A3 and A5 sedans and on its Q5 SUV.
In terms of the voice system, Audi's MMI is state-of-the-art. It can't match Apple CarPlay and Siri, but Apple's system wasn't quite ready to take over control of the car in 2016, and that remains true this year.
The overall Audi system is effective, advanced, easy to use, reliable, and dramatic. It was a worthy winner for our first-ever Infotainment System of the Year, and although it had more of a fight in 2017, it's an equally worthy repeat victor.
The runner-up
In 2016, we argued that 2017 finalist General Motors' MyLink/IntelliLink/Cue plus OnStar had come on very strong as the biggest challenger to Audi's MMI in the traditional automaking realm.
We still think that GM's system — which has different names across brands, but has essentially the same functionality — is set apart by the combination of 4G-LTE connectivity, available on every vehicle the company makes, and OnStar, GM's longstanding suite of communications, safety, and navigation technology, activated by buttons on the rearview mirror.
But Volvo's Senus system is getting harder to overlook. And in 2017, we couldn't. It's our runner-up.
The cool thing about Senus is that it isn't holding back. Volvo — now owned by China's Geely and in the midst to staging an all-out assault in the luxury segment — wants to stand apart and reinvent its stodgy reputation for making insanely durable cars that were loved by college professors and the safety-minded but lacked premium sizzle.
Sensus doesn't go quite as far as Tesla in consolidating nearly all vehicle function in a single, large, central touchscreen. But the large, 9.3-inch touchscreen is the closest thing any other automaker has to a tablet in the dashboard, right down to a "home" button that can return the user to the base interface. We'll be the first to admit that the swiping through screens required to navigate Sensus take a bit of getting used to. But after experiencing it in several vehicles, we've started to enjoy its quirks.
It handles Apple CarPlay and Android Auto well, and for the most part, the screen is responsive. As with all large touchscreen-style systems, there is a distraction factor — or, more accurately, a problem of having to engage the system and the screen to, for example, raise or lower the heat, while older system provide physical knobs and switches. Still, big screens are likely to define in-vehicle interfaces in the future, with consumers demanding them. And apart from Tesla, Volvo with Sensus is the automaker that taken the plunge — and taken on both the business opportunity and risk.
All the other infotainment systems that were in the running had the compelling merits. JLR's InControl presented a bug or two in our testing, but it's a new system and we found its design to be superb. Ford SYNC 3 has followed GM's system in combining a responsive touchscreen with ease of use.
Congratulations to Audi, though, for maintaining its daunting level of infotainment excellence in the face of fierce competition, continuing to innovate, and for making Virtual Cockpit available on additional vehicles in 2017.
