Barry Norris x GN!Reader

WORD COUNT: 386

WARNINGS: nsfw, cockwarming, oral (amab recieveing)

This is how it always went. He’d have you crawl under his desk, spreading his legs as he pulled his cock out of his slacks with a smug grin, and make you suck his dick. Sometimes you’d be forced to keep your own pace, bobbing your head for hours until your neck got a crick in it. Other times he’d hold your head still while he used your mouth, getting out his frustrations of the day. But then there were times like this, like right now, where he just wanted you to let him feel it. He wanted to feel your throat constrict around him, feel your weak attempt at swallowing around his cock, feel the drool slip down his dick as you waited patiently for the go ahead. For some strange reason, this was your favorite. 

“Right, well, I’ll need those papers filled back out and then on my desk. Mhm,” Barry continues to drone on and on into the phone, head leaned back. If anyone walked past, they’d see him hard at work. Unbeknownst to them, however, was the fact that you were tucked away under his desk, your lips wrapped around his cock. You stare up at him through your eyelashes, unmoving, swallowing around him as drool fills your mouth. 

He casts a glance down at you, the corner of his lips twitching in appreciation at your obedience. “Yes. Alright, you have a good day too. Bye.” Barry leans forwards as he hangs the phone up, pushing his cock a little further down your throat. You gag slightly, throat constricting around him, and he lets out a small hiss. “Fuck, there you go.” He grins, sighing as he leans back again, legs spreading wider. “Surprised you were able to hold back during that phone call.”

Rolling your eyes you pull off of him, swallowing back the precum and spit that had collected in your mouth during the last twenty minutes. “It was difficult considering you kept shoving it down my throat towards the end.”

“Yeah, well,” Barry grins, reaching down and wiping the spit off the side of your mouth with his thumb, holding your chin. He grins, his smile sending a shiver down your spine. “With a throat that good… you’re lucky I didn’t make them listen to you gag on it.”

Spoilers For Anyone Unfamiliar w/ Belko - Third time trying to post this

Belko the Flies, Lord of the Belko Experiment

Recently watched The Belko Experiment and had to make these cheap connections the second there was a power struggle.

Cast: Ralph Milch, Jack Norris, Roger Dukes, “Piggy” Florez, Simon Jilkins, Maurice “Maury” Winters, and “Mulberry” Fremont

In my attempt to write something that wasn't going to be 40k words of the weirdest AU you've ever fucking seen, I've come up with this:

Event Horizon - Landoscar

Rating: Teen and up Warnings: none Tags/themes: Scientists, angst with a happy ending, lando haunting the narrative while actually being an active figure of the narrative, WIP Short summary: There's a black hole in the centre of the Earth. Oscar Piastri is a Nobel-decorated physicist, with nothing to show for it but an addiction to cigarettes and a ring without a finger to put it on. These two things have more in common than one might think.

It will be longer than 40k words, and it's possibly the most overcomplicated AU I've ever written. Hope y'all enjoy!

Due to massive demand I am posting another Cliff Richard video. This time a fabulous duet with the stunning Dame Edna Everage who could really belt out a tune when she needed to. What a way to start the weekend!

I Could Easily Fall (in Love With You) was originally a hit in 1964 for Cliff Richard and The Shadows. The writing credit went to the four Shadows (Bruce Welch, Hank Marvin, Brian Bennett and the late John Rostill, who was their third bass player). It was produced, like their other hits from that period, by easy listening legend Norrie Paramor. A live performance by Cliff and the Shads (with their Burns guitars) from 1965 below.

she's married you idiots!

series masterlist

isabella perez mae, i wasn't aware you and max had gotten a divorce and you were now dating barry keoghan.

mae jones-verstappen oh my god who started it this time??

oscar piastri tmz

zoya torres and fans are definitely helping troll the others who think mae is dating barry.

max jones-verstappen why are they calling him bath water guy and grave guy??

oscar piastri as someone who watched the movie with his girlfriend for the "vine" trust me when i say you don't want to know.

lando norris you do not want to watch that movie, trust me.

isabella perez so that's a negative on you and barry?

max jones-verstappen i hope you get fired. mae jones-verstappen we had dinner, as friends, a while back, but max was with us. which is something tmz kindly left out.

logan sargeant i fucking hate tmz

arthur leclerc is this because they said zoya was dating louis? logan sargeant shut the fuck up?

pierre gasly i think charles is the only one who is safe from dating rumors.

natalia ruiz because the people love him and the italians lose their shit anytime someone implies charles is dating someone.

charles leclerc and they send natalia many dms asking her if we're over so that they can make a move on me.

arthur leclerc i am safe too.

dulce perez up until three months ago, everyone thought i was dating robert. not you. trust me, you are not safe.

rhys jones this? again?

sebastian vettel next they'll be saying max is dating daniel, again.

fernando alonso when did they ever stop saying that?

daniel jones-ricciardo he's my platonic soulmate! max jones-verstappen we're lovers but our wives don't know it yet. daphne jones-ricciardo i was under the assumption that my husband was in a secret love affair with ryan and that max was engaging in an affair with charles?

lewis hamilton a bunch of children, all of you.

fernando alonso starting with me, you, and seb. as the oldest we set the examples. sebastian vettel they learned from us lewis.

lewis hamilton i'm nowhere near as dramatic as you two!

rhys jones "well we're not friends." isabella perez "and teammate" george russell "taken out by my own teammate" lewis hamilton ALRIGHT I GET IT!

maejonesverstappen and maxjonesverstappen1 have posted new stories

i don't know about anyone else, but i spent valentine's day with my husband

¡leclerc-s speaks! anyways, back to our regularly scheduled programing, not that i have a posting schedule, but i figured, you know i gave daniel and daphne two parts about relationship rumors why not give mae and max one. this is a product of that. honestly some of my best work comes when i am sleep deprived because insomnia is a bitch, this was written yesterday. is there anyone you guys would like to write relationship rumors about??

¡disclaimer! this is in no way making assumptions about the people involved in this story, this is all fake. it is a fanfiction please don't take any of what is said seriously. this is all for entertainment purposes and as a creative outlet for me. enjoy!

- Summary: Lando and you are karting, he’s being a muppet

Y/N POV

Lando just picked me up and was driving us to the karting track. “Are you ready to lose today.” He said with a huge smile on his face. “Oh please last time I won.” “That’s because I let you, I was first the whole time.” “I still won tho.” He laughs and shakes his head. “Not this time darling.” “We will see Norris, I trained for this.” We both laugh at our silliness.

We both were getting ready to race, he was waving at me, I gave him a middle finger. He laughs. “All ready salty baby?” I ignored him and tried to focus. The lights turned green and we went off, both very quick. A,ready passing others but I stayed in front of Lando. Lando was behind me almost touching. We drove like this for a few rounds till he tried to overtake me. I was defending my place. He looked at me and touched the back of my car. Causing me to crash into the barrie. He drove away laughing. I slammed my hands of the steering wheel. “Cheater!” I tried to get back on the track. Other people drove pass me causing me to be last. I was fuming. The flag waved, meaning the race was over. I got out of my kart. Lando was already waiting for me. “ I won.” “No! You crashed into me.” He laughs. “It’s not funny Lando, I was winning now I’m last.” I took off my helmet. I was looking angry and sad at the same time. “It’s not fair Lando, it’s already difficult to compete against you.” I said pouting at him. He wraps his arms around my shoulder pulling me into his chest/neck. “I’m sorry, your right it was not fair of me to do that.” He kissed my head. “It was a dirty move.” “Your right, can this muppet make it up to you with some ice cream?” I looked at him. Staring into his eyes. “Yes you can.” I said with a smile, he smiled back. “Good, let’s get some ice cream then.”

Such a huge fan of your blog and your IG! Questions for you!

Biggest bulge you've ever seen on a public figure?

Mine is Brendan Gleeson and Greg Norman.

Nicest ass?

Richard Riehle for me

Sexiest belly?

I think Tim Hooper's belly is perfection!

Most handsome face?

90s John Goodman...swoon

Who is your greatest fantasy lay?

For years I wished to be railed in a dead tie between Dean Norris and Brian Dennehey... Mmmm maybe both!

#######################################################################################################################################

Biggest bulge on a public figure: Probably Sam Allardyce or Jason Leonard.

Who has the nicest ass? It's either Gary Patterson or Chip Kelly. (don't get me wrong, I love a nice big plump ass, but normal size is good too)

Sexiest belly? Easy, (been posting a lot of him lately) the mack daddy himself: Mack Brown!

The most handsome face... That's a tough one. I dunno... I think most men are handsome but if you wanna know of a face that I'd never get tired of looking at, it would have to be Barry Hinson. He's just so damn cute and unabashedly dorky.

Greatest fantasy lay... There's no doubt that it'd be Gary Patterson. I've thought about him and I banging it out for years. I've fantasized that I'm his personal assistant and that we bang it out every time his team is out of town for a game cause his wife won't give him any back home. I think of him as being this stud bull loading me up 2-3 times a night, and then once again in the morning before we head off to the game... And he'd occasionally invite the opponent coach, especially if they're friends like he and Sonny, so they can tag team and spit roast me all night. A guy can dream, right?!! lol

Patricia Arquette and Bill Pullman in Lost Highway (David Lynch, 1997)

Cast: Bill Pullman, Patricia Arquette, John Roselius, Louis Eppolito, Jenna Maetlind, Michael Massee, Robert Blake, Henry Rollins, Michael Shamus Wiles, Balthazar Getty, Gary Busey, Lucy Butler, Robert Loggia. Screenplay: David Lynch, Barry Gifford. Cinematography: Peter Deming. Production design: Patricia Norris. Film editing: Mary Sweeney. Music: Angelo Badalamenti. David Lynch's Lost Highway is a kind of fantasia on film noir themes: shady ladies, ruthless gangsters, morally compromised protagonists, and so on. Its story doesn't play out against a background of supposed "normality," the way Lynch's TV series Twin Peaks or his films Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Dr. (2001) do. In the first two, Lynch plumbs the dark depths that lie below the cheerful surface of small towns, and he opens Mulholland Dr. with the sunny, naive optimism of Naomi Watts's character as she arrives in Los Angeles, ready to make it in the movies. Lost Highway is dark from the start, though not without moments of humor: When Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) and his wife, Renee (Patricia Arquette), receive the first mysterious videotape, which shows only the exterior of their house, they assume it came from a real estate agent. Things get darker from then on, until finally a tape arrives that shows Fred standing over Renee's body. He is quickly tried and sentenced to death, and just as quickly somehow morphs, while in his jail cell, into someone else: an auto mechanic, some years younger than Fred, named Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty). Released from prison, since he's clearly not Fred Madison and the police have nothing to hold Pete on, he returns home to his parents (Gary Busey and Lucy Butler) and to his job at a garage, where he works on the cars owned by a Mr. Eddy (Robert Loggia). He gets involved with Mr. Eddy's mistress, Alice (played by a blond Arquette -- Renee was a redhead), and eventually winds up having sex with Alice in the desert and morphing back into Fred, who ends the film on the run from the police after killing Mr. Eddy. Oh, there's also a mysterious figure played by a heavily made-up Robert Blake, and some other bits of Lynchian enigma. In short, Lost Highway starts weird and gets weirder, like a nightmare from which there's no hope of waking. Unfortunately, as played by Pullman, Fred is a bland protagonist who barely registers before his transformation into Pete, a character to which Getty gives a bit more substance. The best work in the movie is done by the ever-reliable Loggia, who has a wonderful scene in which Mr. Eddy takes his revenge on a driver who was tailgating him. But the film has the perversity of Blue Velvet and the narrative disjunctions of Mulholland Dr. without the wit and cinematic finesse of either. I think it suffers from its lack of roots in an identifiable reality, or even the caricature of reality in those films.
