perv loser hyuka who cums in his pants from kissing u for the first time
OH EM GEEEEEEEE!!!!! IM GOING INSANE
FIRST TIME
pairings: pervy!nerd!hyuka x reader
warnings: mentions of panty stealing, he jerks off in ur bathroom, just rlly nasty and pervy hyuka!!, he jerk’s off in front of u (u ask for it tho)
Soft pants and grunts, as Kai’s hand wrapped around his cock.
Seated with his head between your legs, on the floor as you sat on the edge of your bed. Heavy breaths shared, as he came for a third time.
It was a study session— well, it was supposed to be one.
Your dear classmate, and friend, was so good at chemistry, it made your head ache. On one hand, you could fail. Other hand, you could call him over for a study session.
Though, the heavy textbook now sat on your desk, as your thighs coated hyukas head, cum coating his hand.
Cheeks reddened, begging you “please, please kiss me a-again, I-I… I like it so much..”
Who were you to deny? After all, it was a simple redundant. Keep kissing him, and he’d go into heaven.
Wet and moist sounds coming from his soiled hand, god you were so close, you smelled just like he imagined.
Your clothed pussy was so close to his face, he could feel the heat radiating off of you, as you leaned over for another kiss.
Tongue mixing with one another, coaxing him into what seemed as close to heaven as he could get.
“God.. hmmm.. hmph..!” You shut him up, he was just too cute.
Cumming in his own hand over and over, the same way he came into those panties he stole.
“God, Hyuka.. didn’t know you’d cum so much. M’not even touchin’ you.” You mumbled, tongue mixing with his.
His eyes rolling back, mouth agape at the feeling of you.
Perhaps he’d need… much more study sessions.

"𝗗𝗨𝗠𝗕 little girl," Kai was so mean, but it felt so natural and right, hands in your hair, one tugging your panties down in a swift motion. Words fierce with venom while his hands positioned your ass against the table, up in the air while your plump breasts flattened against the wood.
Kai found your obliviousness so amusing— so electrifying. Every time you stared up at him with those big eyes of yours, innocent and slightly teary, eyelashes fluttering so gently, he just found himself aching to be inside you. He didn't know why he wanted to just dumb you down until you were stupid off his cock as he gave you your umpteenth orgasm of the night; it was a heavy fantasy he had ever since he started dating you.
And as his dumb little girl you had your bratty moments— for example, this morning you insisted on wearing the sluttiest outfit poor Kai had ever seen. The tiny jean skirt riding up your ass even if you moved the slightest bit, no bra beneath your white top so he could see the outline of your nipples, pink and perky. And you purposefully put your hand on his thighs one two many time, once even getting on your knees while keeping eye contact, one hand pulling back your hair. He damn near lost it, had it not been for it being the middle of the soup aisle he would've taken you right then.
But Kai was civilized and preferred to give out punishments in private where no one could stop him.
"Teasing me all day like a fucking brat, weren't you?" Kai hissed in your ear, rutting his clothed bulge against your ass, sliding between your cheeks and folds almost mockingly.
You cooed in a whine, "N-no, I didn't, promise." Yeah that was kind of a big fat lie; from the moment you woke this morning you made it your mission to tease the hell out of Kai. Why? For the hell of it. So, you dolled yourself up. Put on the prettiest makeup and the sluttiest outfit you owned— a short skirt you knew drove him crazy because, well, he was in love with your plush thighs —and a simple top that was just a little too low cut.
And when you tried to leave the house he stopped you with a raised brow, asking where you were going. And when you had told him you were just running to the store he offered to join you. And that's when the teasing happened, sitting in the car with him in the drivers seat with your delicate hand on his thigh, swirling the soft fabric of his jeans. Tipping just a little too close to his bulge.
Just sending him the flirtiest smiles and the dumbest "innocent" looks even when he finally caught on to what you were plotting.
"Do you think I'm dumb?" Kai asked with acid in his tone, unbuttoning his jeans at every harsh syllable. His pink lips parting a breathe of relief left his lips, "Do I need to teach you some manners?"
You shook your head no, eyes falling to his hands as he fished his cock out of the denim of his jeans. The tip gushing red and slick with beads of thick precum, the sight making you drool like a bitch.
"Don't think you need any prepping today," Kai scoffed, stating it like it was a gross fact, "You've had enough fun, haven't you?" And just like that Kai had each of your thighs in his big hands, prying them wide until the sight of your spread cunt was on full display, panties dangling from one ankle while your skirt rode up onto your buzzing tummy.
You meekly whined in response, feeling to overwhelmed as he manhandled you and called you the dirtiest things, words tasting like sweet ecstasy.
Before you could even breathe his cock was filling you up. Not even slowly, not even inch by inch. Kai shoved his cock inside with ease, bottoming out in an instant and a hard slap of your bodies meeting in the middle. You yelled out but the sound melted into a loud moan of pleasure as you felt your walls flutter graciously around him.
Kai hissed, "Fucking... testing my patience all day," Kai groaned, hand sliding toward your jaw and holding it there while he began to fuck into your cunt with sharp and shallow thrusts. Clearly not advocating for your release but rather his own, yet still, you were seeing states.
The insatiable look of him standing over you, sweat glistening down his forehead and bleached hair dancing over his eyes. His white tank top riding up his abdomen and exposing his cute and tight tummy, shoulders broad and arms strong as he opted to use you just how he knew you liked it.
"You wanted this, didn't you? W-wanted me to fuck you like a slut," Kai's pace was relentless, hands squeezing your jaw harder until your lips were pried apart and all you could do was let out a choked out whimper, "This fucking skirt— god, had to stop myself from bending you over the shelf at the store and use you right there."
His voice was so stern and strong, making your tummy flutter. Kai's cock kissed your cervix (more like stabbed) over and over, your groans becoming more like bratty whines as you held his shoulders as tight as possible, "Ngh, K-Kai! Need it so bad— please, please!"
Kai knew you were damn close to tipping over the edge, letting your orgasm take over. But he wanted tos ee how far he could take you until you crumbled in his hands, until you were sobbing fat tears yet still begging him to continue. Kai was feeling mean today, he knew it. But he also knew that's just what his pretty whore liked.
"Oh, you think you can cum?" Kai snorted, laying you flat against the table with his strong arm beside your head, slamming it against the wall without a care for the noise or the dents it may leave in the paint, "No, no. Not until I do. Not u-until I fill this pretty pussy with my cum."
You squeezed your eyes closed, tummy fluttering and heart beating through your ears. You didn't know how close Kai was, how much further he was willing to go to teach you a lesson. A lesson you knew you'd forget because if this were punishment you hoped to break the rules everyday.
You begged silently that your body would be able to handle not cumming. You weren't entirely sure you were capable of resisting that intense urge, especially with the pace Kai had set. Your nails dig into his shoulder blades, head falling back against the cold wood, cunt fluttering while your thighs shook.
"Don't you f-fucking dare." His words were sharp, a hand raising and slapping your thigh as he relentlessly slammed against the back of your thighs in a ruthless pace. Kai raised his hand again, slapping the same spot before quickly rubbing it; had it not been for the subtle movements of adoration, the experience might've been overwhelming, but Kai was an expert at keeping you feeling safe despite the radical circumstances.
"I'm close, you can fucking hold it," Kai tipped his head back, hand on your waistline as he abused your tight hole. Your hips rolling into his without your permission as you shut your eyes in attempt to ignore the burning need to release everything, to cum all over his cock.
"Mm, I-I can't" You wailed out, choking on a breath of air as a salty tear slipped down your face and into your ear．
Kai ignored you, hips sputtering as he felt you tense up, cunt clamping down around his thick length until he too was seeing those same stars. The universe in your eyes swirling as pleasure over took his body, body shivering as thick ropes of cum filled you up. A warmth arose through you, fullness tipping you over the edge until you couldn't breathe.
"Ah— s'good!" And you finally got your release, Kai's orgasm ending just as yours begun. His hips sputtered as you fluttered promptly around him, eyes falling to a close as you overstimulated him without your knowledge.
A moment of silence wrapped around the room in a haze, stars fading out of view until everything was just hot and fuzzy. Kai still hovering over you, cock warm inside your tight entrance while you both caught your slipping breath.

𝘌𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘰𝘶𝘵 ♡ 𐐪𐑂 °
here is a late christmas present. uhm ngl i was half alive writing this so if it doesnt make sense im sorry ㅠㅠ uhmm! yeah i tried smth new with the whole getting eaten out and fingering shit saurr bare with me 😭 idk if i wanna do vampire!txt or some soobie smut next rahh. i'll figure it out.
MDNI!! NSFW content below
╰┈➤ hard dom (?) hyuka x fem!reader, hair tugging, getting eaten out-ovbi, fingering (bc i have an obsession), hints at over stimulation, begging, edging, not proof read, i think thats it, lmk if i missed anything
You gripped Hyuka’s hair as he made laps on your cunt. His perfect nose, stimulating your clit in ways you couldn't do yourself. You legs shook as you felt another orgasm make its way. You whine softly, pulling his hair more. Once you did so, Hyuka pulled his head back.
“Baby, i told you to stop pulling my hair.” His voice echoed through the heated room as you huffed slightly. Great. Its been the third time Kai has done this to you. Its not your fault you cant keep your hands to yourself.
You took your legs off of your boyfriend’s shoulders with a small click of your tongue. Kai continued to hold your legs up, admiring the mess he has made out of you.
You let out a sigh opening you mouth to counter back only for strings of curses to come right out. Hyuka harshly pumped his fingers in and out of your swollen cunt as you cried out. Your body shook slightly as you bit your lower lip, trying to stifle those angelic sounds
“Let it out baby or i’ll stop.” Kai spat out softly, His hands started to slow down so you quickly spoke, brows pinched up slightly.
“No- no please dont- mmph, dont stop.” You mumbled. A small smirk appeared on Hyuka's lips. It was strange how deceiving he was. Its like he has two different sides. He is so sweet, affectionate with you when he is around others. Going as far to play with your clothes, even pepper small kisses on your neck.
But when he is the one begging you to go home with him because he got hard and needs you to satisfy him, he just completely switches up! Manhandling you, turning and throwing you around when he wants. Holding your arm up when he fucks you senseless.
The pace of Kai’s fingers only went quicker the louder you moaned. Your back arched as you jumbled your words of “right there” “so good” and “gonna cum” along with a bunch of curses. You moved your body back slightly but Hyuka quickly pulled you back onto his fingers.
“ ‘s too much baby-” You grunted softly, squeezing your eyes shut as he went at an unforgiving pace. You could barely even speak at this point with the amount of pleasure and overstimulation literally ruining you.
Kai didnt respond to your words as he abused your cunt. You went from cursing to begging him to let you cum just once more like you didnt cum a few moments ago. And finally, he agreed.
You slowly came down from your high as you chested heaved in and out heavily. Your shirt lifted right about your breasts from Kai’s earlier teasing.
Suddenly, you felt a warm tongue clean you up at your core. You slowly shook your head with a slight furrow to your brows, giving Kai a playful glare.
“Mm? It was only prep anyways baby! We haven't even started yet.” Kai chuckled softly, lifting his head from in between your legs, flashing his iconic smile.
Were you tired? Hell yes, but where you gonna stop him from making you feel so right? Nuh uh. He needed you so bad, and he knows you need him too. ૮₍˶ •. • ⑅₎ა
a/n: this was inspired by the answer the one and only @dearlyjun (sorry for the tag 😭) gave me when i sent her an ask a bit ago so hope yall like it 💞

Pool Boy (4) | Hueningkai
Huening Kai - TXT
Rating: M (18+) MDNI
Word Count: ~4.5k o=o
Pairing: Hueningkai x AFAB!Reader
Genre: Reader-Insert, Smut, Porn without Plot
!!This is smut…if that much isn't clear you should probably leave now!! MDNI!
Warnings: She/Her Pronouns used, Small Age Difference (Unspecified, he calls her Noona), Pet Names (she calls him precious), Swearing, Kissing, Oral (F! & M! Receiving), Fingering, Semi-Public Sex, Car Sex, Unprotected Sex (Use a condom! She's on the pill)
Summary: Losing the chance of closing up the pool for the night, you take advantage of your car being the only one in the park lot… Some plot is there, but it so doesn’t matter.
Author's Note: This originally was going to be part of a really long series with a lot of plot, but it was taking too long and I was putting too much plot, more than I had initially planned. Because of that, I cut nearly all plot out and it's still four-thousands words of just fucking so…
PS. Hyuka is my bias~
None of the parts are reliant on the others, there is just a version for each boy.
-> Yeonjun <-
-> Taehyun <-
-> Soobin <-
-> Beomgyu <-
I am cross-posting this on Archive. Please reblog! If you know anyone that would like this or future fics but they aren't on here my name and icon are exactly the same on the other site. Happy reading!
"You're so freaking cute…" You muttered and his head shot up to gape at you.
"What?"
"What?"
"I-," You were about to take a bite and pretend you didn't say anything. You had been flirting with Hyuka for a few days now, but it seemed he wasn't picking up what you were putting down. Maybe you were wrong because he put his sandwich down and got up from the stool. Wondering what he was doing, you set your fork down. He came closer and you tried to stay relaxed when he went to stand between your legs. He was big, leaning over you, thick thighs, and broad shoulders. His face was so freaking sweet, a stark comparison. Kai leaned forward and you let him do what he wanted. A small kiss pressed to your cheek, then another at the corner of your mouth. You smiled at the gentleness, his big hands coming to cup your jaw softly. Right before he could finally press his lips to yours-
"Uh?" Someone cleared their throat at the front office entrance, and he pulled back aggressively. The coworker smiled, her eyes mischievous.
"I won't tell but keep an eye out." She winked and left.
"Don't worry about it Hyuka." You got off the stool, laying your hand on his shoulder. When his eyes went back to you, they softened back to what you normally saw, the fear gone. You smiled, bringing your hands to play with his hair, fingers rubbing at the back of his neck. His hands came to your waist, and he turned pink when your breasts squished into him. Hyuka nuzzled your ear, pressing a kiss to your hair.
"Can we eat?" he muttered, and you laughed and nodded, pulling back. Before he let go, he laid another soft peck to your forehead. You talked about random things, mostly the weird things his friends do, as you ate. Not too soon after you both finished, guests started to come again after the lunch break. While you were helping a group of high school girls get some passes, they were giggling and flirting with Hyuka. Of course they were, look at him. You didn't know though if he was that clueless about flirting or if he was remaining professional.
"Is he your boyfriend?" one of them asked you quietly as you slipped the bracelet on her.
"No. But he is too old for you." You assured her. She was probably fifteen, sixteen at the most. She clicked her tongue, nodding as she resolved that fact to herself. They giggled and waved as they entered the pool, and he sat down with a sigh.
"Do you have girls flirt with you a lot?" you asked him, and he shook his head, looking tired.
"Not really. Normally I'm with my hyungs, so they get more of the attention. I'm a lot shyer in comparison so…"
"Well, their loss is my gain." You went to him that time, standing between his legs. Since he was sitting, you were eye level like this. Huffing in surprise, he had wrapped his arms around you boldly, pulling you closer to him. His hands were still respectful, sitting around your lower ribs, and they shook a bit. Hyuka wasn't used to being more forward, but he felt more confident with you. He took the slight pink on your cheeks as a good sign, hugging you even closer and resting his head in the crook of your neck. The boy just held you like that and you wanted to cry at how cute he was. Car doors shutting pulled you both back to reality and you had to separate so you could assist more patrons. As the shift went on, you both exchanged little displays of affection. The sweetest one was when you were both sitting there, looking at your phones quietly, he pulled his stool to be right next to you instead of across. His head rested on your shoulder, and you cooed, kissing the crown of his head. A bit later you were standing at the register, counting through change.
"Hi, noona." Hyuka wrapped his arms around you once again, hugging you from behind. He rested his cheek on your head, one of his hands going to your tummy. You smiled giddily, pressing your lips together to try and hide it, his hand rubbing circles over your stomach. The move was so sweet, but your stomach was sensitive, and when his hand rested over your belly button, you had to shift. The lower stomach wasn't a traditional erogenous zone, but it was for you. Also, being completely surrounded by his warmth, he also smelled really good, it was hard to not get excited. He pressed closer and your cunt clenched the fabric of your panties sticking to your folds. Glancing at the time, you grumbled, not wanting to wait two more hours for closing.
"Hyuka." you prompted, and he hummed sleepily.
"I need you to let go or I'm going to burst." you whispered, and he startled, pulling away.
"Sorry!" He backed up and you smiled.
"I'll be right back!" You promised, scurrying off to the bathroom. He probably assumed you met your bladder, so you took the chance. You smiled at some patrons as you walked past them to get to the private stall. The bathroom in the back office was probably open, but you weren't for sure and needed to cool off immediately. Shutting the door, you locked it, going to the sink, you splashed cold water on your face. You sighed, grabbing some paper towels, and drying your face. Letting out another more aggressive sigh, you glared at yourself in the mirror.
"Two more hours." You nodded, determined. Going back out you tried to keep your mind on other things but made no move to prevent Hyuka's skinship. You had learned that's what they called it, and you loved the term.
"I'll lock up." One of your coworkers nodded at you in passing and you shook your head.
"Its fine, I can do it!" You insisted, it was normally what you did anyway.
"Just go." He insisted and you huffed in annoyance.
"It's fine, noona." Hyuka whispered and you looked at him. He nodded, trying to convey something unspoken through his look. You nodded, almost disappointed. Was he just going to give up and leave you for the night, try again later? Sneaking past the guy, you gathered your things and met Hyuka at the door.
"Bye." You called to him hastily, and you both scurried to leave. Not glancing back, you heard him pull the shutter for the front counter closed, heading for your car. You parked in the very back of the parking lot, so you didn't hog access for the pool customers. You were even able to park near a tree that kind of shaded your car from the blazing sun. Said sun was starting to set and you stopped at the vehicle, turning to the boy. That was when you got an idea.
"Get in. The back." you told him, and he did so without question or hesitation. Getting in the front yourself, you started the car and cranked the air conditioning, it was hot as balls in the car. Glancing back to the pool shelter, you figured it was far enough away, so you scurried back out and joined Hyuka in the back.
"This okay?" You made sure with him, and he nodded, a bit red.
"If you are." He leaned in slowly and you giggled.
"Of course-" His lips met yours. It started slow; you could tell he was unsure. You weren't sure why though; he was doing very well. You moaned softly to let him know. Smiling against his lips, his hand went to your neck and pulled you even closer. Barely pulling back, still brushing his soft lips over your chapped ones, you breathed harder. Finally kissing you again, it was even more intense than before, and when he sighed you took the chance to sneak your tongue into his mouth. Perfectly content to take the reins, you didn't expect him to fight back against you. His tongue wrapped around yours deftly, and he tipped your head the opposite of his to deepen it further. You barely separated to suck in more air, then went back in. You had no idea how long you two made out, eventually you ended up straddling his lap, hands messing his hair. Despite the heat of the act, his hands stayed on your waist, the furthest down they went was to loop his fingers through your belt loops. Your shorts were high waisted as well, but you wanted him to go lower. Running the tip of your tongue over his teeth, tasting his whole mouth, your hands brushed over his, moving them down. He whined a tad when you pressed, but eagerly shoved his hands in your back pockets, and dug his fingers in. You keened, the strength there as well as his taste and warmth made your head swim. The cold blast of air at your back did nothing to cool you off and you whimpered when his lips left yours. Both of your lips were swollen and red, a trail of saliva connecting your mouths still.
"What do you want to do next, precious?" You both were panting.
"Turn around?" His voice was softer than normal, tinged with nerves still, as if he hadn't just tried to swallow your tongue. You nodded with a hum, doing so, and settling in his lap. You felt his hardened cock straining against his jeans at your back, but you just laid on him, wanting him to do what he wished. One arm wrapped around your middle, his hand once against resting on your stomach. The other was shaking a bit, but he brought it to the front of your shorts. He pressed two fingers right above your clit and you moaned a bit. When his fingers slid down slightly, hitting your nub, you flinched hard, moaning again.
"You're wet." He observed quietly and you weren't too surprised. Even with the barrier of your panties and the denim of your pants, he could still feel it.
"Can I?"
"Do whatever, precious." You ensured and you could hear him swallow. He fiddled with the button but was able to get it open with one hand, and he pulled the zipper down. His hands were warm as the ones on your tummy snuck under your shirt to rub the soft skin of your belly. The other buried into your panties so he could stroke his index and middle finger through your cunt. You whined and he marveled at the slick pouring from your core.
"Noona~" He cooed, his nose brushing at the back of your ear.
"There." you told him when the pad of his finger hit your clit. It seemed he was more knowledgeable than you first estimated. You sighed as he didn't even hesitate to bury his long finger into your cunt, his thumb circling your clit. Your body twitched and your head rolled back to rest on his shoulder. You were so wound up, even just his slight touches made you shiver. A second finger joined his first and he scissored them against your fluttering walls.
"Here?" He made sure, one finger pressing against the rough patch in your cunt, and you nodded, gasping. The pressure increased and he rubbed and wiggled his fingers inside you. His palm brushed over your clit, and he played you like a guitar. You made noises as well, whining and moaning, panting, and sighing.
"H-Hyuka!" It was like you couldn't breathe, your orgasm approaching so fast. Normally just fingers couldn't make you feel that way, so either he was really that good or you were just that horny.
"Cum, noona." His voice lowered, right in your ear, and you obeyed. His eyes widened as your cunt clenched his fingers, he didn't think you could get any tighter. He desperately wanted to know how you would feel around his cock. Though, he was worried he wouldn’t last too long. As the waves calmed down, he kissed over your neck and once you were done twitching, he pulled his hand away. He marveled at the shine and amount of your release, and you watched him bring his hand to his mouth, flicking his tongue to taste. Kai groaned and immediately swallowed both fingers to suck your juice from them.
"Fuck…" he whispered and you chuckled a bit.
"Can I…?" His voice was still quiet, but it was more confident. You let him direct your movement into the place where he wanted you. Luckily, you were quite small, and your car was spacious, so when he laid you on the center console, the seats were able to slot in the dip of your waist. Not tightly, they held you somewhat in place, and at least the console was padded. You had him pass a blanket you kept in the back seat, and you rolled it, resting your head on it by the radio controls. It was more comfortable than you thought it would be. His hands were still shaking some, but they acted fast, completely undoing your pants, and helping you remove them. He swallowed hard before you led him to remove your panties as well. When the younger man could finally see your bare cunt, shining with your arousal, he groaned.
Large and strong hands gripped your hips and you yiped when he shoved you further back, the blanket preventing you from hitting your head. Unfortunately for him being so tall, he still had to bend a bit uncomfortably, but your whole body twitched when his tongue flicked over your clit. You were glad the A/C was blowing straight on you, because he dove back in, licking over your cunt once then shoving his whole tongue inside. His nose brushed against your clit perfectly and his strong hands held your thighs apart, your muscles twitching under his grip. He placed his hands carefully on your thighs, not wanting to hurt you, just to hold them still. You would have preferred him to be rougher, but in the moment, you were too focused on his mouth on you. Wanting to whimper in protest when his tongue left your core, it instead swirled your button, and his two fingers went back in. You sighed and swore slightly when he pressed against your spot hard, smirking at your little flinch. He was gaining confidence the more you moaned and mewled, so you exaggerated just a tad. More so you didn't hide it any. A car door slammed and you both startled, he pulled away and you sat up to look out the window. It was the coworker getting into his car that you hoped was far enough away that he couldn't see. He was a good distance away, the sound had just echoed through the empty lot. He also didn't need to drive past to leave. Still, you both waited to make sure, and once he was gone, you rested back.
"I'm sorry, noona. I can't wait." He pulled his fingers out and helped you sit up. Smiling, you removed your top and let him pull you back to his lap. Trying not to laugh, he was struggling to undo your bra, so you reached around back to help.
"Fuck." Hearing his soft voice swear like that was cuter than anything, but the look on his face was anything but cute. Kai brought you back down to his lips and your hands met his on the button to his jeans. You gasped a bit when your hands reached in to pull his cock out. Whatever he was getting fed didn't just make his body big. Groaning, his hands gripped your bare ass, hauling you to grind your slick cunt on his dick. You both sighed at the feeling.
"Have you done this before, precious?" you asked him. He was a bit embarrassed that you were just starting at his cock like that, enthralled.
"Um…no. Just, um, touching…" He drifted off.
"You want my pussy or my mouth first?" you asked next, kissing his cheek, then jaw, and down his neck, your hands creeping under his shirt. When you pulled back aggressively, he was a bit shocked, but your hands were rapidly trying to get his shirt off. You let out a groan as he let you rip the garment off. Why the hell was he hiding his body when it looked like that? Not as harshly defined as some others, there was clearly muscle there. He blushed, goosebumps rising on his skin as your soft and small hands wandered his torso.
"Noona?" His voice was rougher than before, and when your eyes met his, they were sharper than before. Not overly so, but he looked more determined.
"Oh, uh-"
"I want your pussy, then I want your mouth." He couldn't meet your eye, trying to stay confident and bold. Instead, his eyes ran over your naked form.
"If that's what you want, precious." You smiled and nearly yelped when he easily lifted you, his mouth sealing around your nipple and the tip of his cock prodding your cunt. He groaned at the wet heat on him, his mouth sucking on your peak. While his mouth on your tits felt good, you needed him to split you open, and you knew he would. Slowly you began to sink down, and your breath hitched at the stretch. Even with how wet you were from the orgasm you had on his fingers, he was just that big and seared through you with a pleasant burn.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck." You repeated, your eyes clenching shut. You tried to relax, knowing that he hadn't done this before, and you didn't want him to cum right away. More for his pride than your pleasure. Considering you had already came, you shouldn't have been so close, but his fat cock felt so good. You DEFINITELY would need a new vibrator, if one would ever work again. Hyuka's shoulders were shaking a bit at the vice of your cunt. His arms held you tight, helping you sheathe his dick inside you, and he was worried you were hurting.
"Is it too much?" he asked, and you shook your head.
"Fuck, no, it’s too good." You panted, resting your now sweaty forehead in the crook of his neck. He was relieved by this and when he finally bottomed out, you both shuddered. It was hard for him to not start pumping his hips up into you, and you were glad, needing to get used to him more. He couldn't believe how wet you were, it seemed you slicked up easier and more so than normal. Not that either of you were complaining.
"H-Hyuka~" You moaning his name was enough to make his head swim.
"Noona, (Y/N), I can't hold back-" He grunted, and you shivered, but nodded your head.
"Okay, you can." You wanted to sit up and move your hips yourself, but you suddenly had no strength. Not only was your body not working, neither was your brain. You were even about to repeatedly thank Kai for rearranging your guts, and that was before he had even moved.
"Fuck-" He groaned, and his hips jumped, his arms helping you bounce as well. Immediately you threw your head back, your back arched and you fell apart again. He grunted as you squeezed him even tighter, but he kept going. You keened as he pounded through your orgasm, which seemed to last for hours. Your nails had dug into the skin of his shoulders and chest, and he was gripping bruises into your hips. Having no strength, you slumped to lay on him.
"Hold on…" He tried to slow down, and he adjusted you to sit up, before laying you back down onto the center console. Your head found the blanket there still and he was able to sit up more. His cock almost left you when he adjusted himself, his knee finding the floor of your car and the other was up on the seat. When he got the right leverage, he gave a full thrust and you nearly screamed. Your car was most likely visibly shaking as he blew your back out. He smiled smugly as your eyes, unfocused, stared at nothing, your hands loosely holding on to the lip of your dashboard. Every time he pulled back you whimpered, and each thrust back in made you yipe. So as to avoid bruising your thighs, he gripped right under your knees. The younger man was more aware of your surroundings than you and he was proud at how much he made the vehicle shake. There was so much wet dripping from your cunt it was making a mess of your back seat and the front of his pants. He had felt you clench around him several times; pretty sure they were small orgasms he just kept plowing through. Both of you were surprised at his endurance and his eyes flashed to the clock of your radio. Most men couldn't last nearly as long, let alone those so inexperienced. It helped that he focused more on your expressions and body's reactions than the sensations wracking through him.
"Ah~ (Y/N), can I come inside?" He had a feeling you would say yes, but he had to make sure.
"Plea~se!" You mewled and he was shocked by how aroused he was by the tears flowing over your cheeks as well as the whining tone your voice had adopted.
"Ah, noona!" He groaned, clenching his jaw tight and gave another hard thrust, then spilled inside of you. The heat flowing inside of you triggered a much stronger orgasm from you. Hyuka furrowed his brow, feeling a bit guilty as your squirting cunt and his cum overflowing out of you messed your car even further. He was even a bit shocked at the amount he pumped you with, but also wondered how much of the thick liquid was from you. You were both panting as the waves died, you looked so tired, but he was still hard. He hadn't pulled out, but your sanity was returning.
"My mouth next?" He almost didn't catch your breathy question, but he nodded.
"Sit back." You instructed and he did so. Leaning over the driver’s seat from where you were on the center console, you were able to press the lever under the seat and it shot all the way up to the steering wheel. This left a nice big space in front of him, and you shakily sat up. He huffed a laugh and helped you as you kneeled before him. While he didn't understand why you moaned as your lips sealed around the head of his dick, he sighed at the feeling. It was definitely different than your cunt, but it was just as hot and wet. Your hands wrapped around the base of his cock and your jaw protested as you got the whole tip inside. The taste of his cum mixed with yours was intoxicating and he saw for himself just how much you liked to swallow cock. His breathing picked up, but he could hold back his moans, watching his dick bury deeper into your mouth. He finally couldn't hold back his noises anymore when you kept descending even after the head of his cock hit the back of your throat.
"N-noona~" His head flopped back onto the headrest; your throat fluttered when you gagged a bit. Your own breath was harsh through your nose, bobbing your head, sucking, and licking what you could and stroking the rest. Even if he wanted to fuck your face, it would be too hard in the car, so you decided next time. He would have to be gentler though than when he was railing you into the center console. Another whine vibrated around his dick and his hands came to your hair, not pushing or pulling, just running through the soft strands.
"You're so good." He praised softly and you hummed back. His brow furrowed, his hips jumping up a bit, he was close. You couldn't wait to swallow his cum, you weren't sure if he tasted good because your brain was mush or if it really just did. Later you would joke that just proved how sweet he was.
"Can I cum down your throat?" He grunted, trying to hold back. When your big teary eyes met his, he gasped, and you buried him as deep as you could get him. Swallowing over and over, he gave you more than even when he came inside your cunt. Even when you had to pull off for air, little droplets rolled down the shaft of his cock. Needing to swallow a few extra times, you finally cleaned him off with your tongue. He was slowly getting softer and looked around your car.
"Noona?"
"Sticky~" You got out, reaching behind you to the cup holder. The water in the plastic bottle was hot from the sun, but at least it helped.
"Are you okay?" he asked, sounding nearly panicked. Your face was red and blotchy, sweat flowing from your temple. Your bare chest heaved still; he reached a hand to wipe the tears off your face with his thumbs.
"Never better." You cooed, giving him a wink. Sitting up higher on your knees, you kissed his cheek, and he sighed in relief.
"I didn't hurt you?"
"No, precious. You did so good~" You assured, and he let out a slightly bashful laugh.
"I did?" He chuckled and he was so freaking cute despite what he just did.
"Think you dislodged a kidney." You joked, rubbing your side and his face fell.
"I'm joking!" You laughed and he sighed, laughing himself.
"Let me get dressed and I'll drive you home." You patted his thigh still covered by his pants. That's when you saw the drying stain of your release and his on his pants.
"Oh, jeez." You cringed and he waved it off.
"I can tie my sweatshirt around my waist." he told you, grabbing his bag.
"Um, but…" You followed his eyes to the much bigger stain and globs on the floor of your car. Not having leather seats was not great for that kind of situation. You scoffed at the mess, realizing you would need your roommates help to clean it most likely. You grabbed his shirt, looking it over to make sure it wasn't messy, then he put it back on. Carefully, you got dressed yourself, trying to hide out of view despite no one being around. Adjusting the A/C, you rolled the windows down as you pulled out of the parking lot to air the car out. When you pulled up in front of his apartment building, you kissed him cheek and whispered, "thanks for fucking me in my car." You teased and his face bloomed red, before he was able to give you a cocky smirk.
"Of course, noona. I'll be sure to do it again."

i am such a firm believer of simp!hyuka, and how he falls sooo deeply in love. he’d do anything for you, do anything to make you happy. if you love him back he’s so over the moon, and he can’t help how every time you get near him his heart races!
slight touches to his arm, eye contact for just a second to long, or even just your laugh has him tripping over his own feet, stuttering and blushing.
next thing you know he’s pulling you by your sleeve, into wherever he can find that’s remotely private. it’s not hard to tell how needy he is, his cock pressing against you. his hips stutter, and he really can’t help but grind against you! as you ask about it he apologizes and apologizes, saying he couldn’t help it, you just looked so pretty…

I totally see Ivan not liking kids, but kids really liking him. So every time a child holds on to him he's just so confused and tries to awkwardly shake the kid off without hurting it.
Till being our sweet bleeding heart, really likes kids, but he's too awkward to talk to them. I totally see little girls really liking him and asking him to put bows in his hair or do his makeup. He of course agrees.
Mizi loves kids, and kids love Mizi. She will gladly give them piggyback rides, braid any little girl's hair, and talk about dinosaurs with the little boys.
Sua doesn't like kids and little kids are a little intimidated by her. They don't hang out with her because "She's kinda scary."
Kids adore Hyuna. Especially the kids that really want to be cool. And she loves kids as well. She's very much the "Yo what up lil buddy" aunt.
Luka doesn't like kids. Kids don't like Luka. If forced to be in the same room they will be in opposite sides of the room and ignore each other.

HI HI KYU! <3 could you do some hyuka x m!reader headcanons where y/n is a popular idol in another group? just how hyuka would be in a relationship with another idol n stuff? thank youu <3
idol boyfies ( huening kai )
kai x male reader
hyuka with his idol bf !!! ( im obsessed )
content : fluff, idol!kai x idol!reader
( a/n ) this is kinda short and v rushed but i hope you still enjoy :)
hyuka is literally your #1 fan :( he buys all versions of your group's albums when he can. he has a rly cute binder for you/your group's pcs that stays on his desk :]
( if he doesn't pull your photocards he likes to buy them online secretly )
there's lots of facetiming !! kai loves seeing you even if it's just over the phone for a few minutes
sometimes he'll literally be on the job when he calls :( he'll be filming something or recording something and you'll urge him to get back to his schedule but he insists he has plenty of time to talk with you for a bit
you're also v close with the rest of the boys ! kai loves how well you get along with his group and he'll often invite you to hang out when they make plans outside of work <3
they try to go to your concerts when they can ! you do the same with your members too
both yours and his fans love to see your interactions !! esp when you post on social media together
he finds it rly funny when fans refer to your relationship as just "friends"
often times he'll buy a new hoodie and wear it for a week, making sure that fans have seen it, before giving it to you so you can wear it. this is to tease fans but also just to give you a new hoodie that smells like him ( he knows you're obsessed )
there are many many spontaneous dates whenever spare time comes up in your schedules. whether it's something more fancy or just cuddling and watching a comforting movie, it doesn't matter cause it's with him <3

thigh highs (h.k)
pairing: bf!heuning kai x gf!reader
preview: kai knows you like to look cute. he even funds your shopping sprees for more cute clothes. but he can't control himself when you wear your thigh highs. you just look so fuckable.
tags/warnings: fem reader, thigh highs fetish obvi, degradation, pet names (slut, whore, cockslut, good girl, baby), breath play, lots and lots of spit, fingering, squirting, unprotected penetration (wrap it before you tap it), creampie, cum eating
trigger warnings: n/a
wc: 1.6k
song recs for this fic: at night by simon dominic, whiplash by nct 127, lay back by verivery, focus on me by jus2
a/n: i have only ever owned one pair of thigh highs since i was born. they're low-key uncomfortable. anything for kai tho <3
you’re doing it again.
you’re modeling your cute little outfits for him.
he did ask for this though. he knew this was a component when you asked him to take you shopping again. you and your short little skirts, your little crop tops and your god forsaken thigh highs.
the thigh highs. his biggest weakness.
the way they cling to your legs, the way they barely pass your knees, the way they make your legs look so soft and touchable.
everytime you wear them, it makes him want to bend you over every surface he can find. table, counter, chair, couch, even just press you up against a wall and have his way with you.
now, you haven’t worn any thigh highs in your little fashion show yet. so far, you’ve worn a collection of soft sweaters and slutty skirts. he’s really hoping you have thigh highs in store for him though.
while his thoughts wander, you come skipping out of your room in another outfit. lilac colored skirt that barely covers your ass, fluffy white sweater that’s long on your arms and white fishnet stockings with cute little pink bows on the knees.
stockings. we’re inching closer to thigh highs.
“what do you think, heuningie?” you ask, doing a little twirl. your skirt lifts up just enough to flash your pretty white panties at your boyfriend. they look so innocent, a soft white lace lining the hem.
“you’re so cute. i love your skirt” he says, admiring you. he loves how cutely you dress. how innocently you ask him his opinion of your outfits when you know you’re dressing so scantily on purpose. he knows your tactics. he loves you for how much effort you put into teasing him on a daily basis.
“thank you, my love” you walk over and give him a quick peck on the cheek. “i have one more outfit. i think you’ll really like this one” you bite your lip and pad your way back down the hallway.
something he’ll really like? he really doesn’t think he bought you any thigh highs today. but, maybe he did? he really didn’t pay attention while he swiped his card and put in his code. he barely even took a second glance at the grand total of 258$.
when he hears the door open, his heart almost stops. what if you do come waddling down the hallway, acting all innocent wearing his biggest weakness? he might have to fuck you braindead immediately.
unfortunately for his tight pants, that’s exactly what you do. you come sauntering into the living room wearing a fluffy pink sweater, a short white tennis skirt and white lacy thigh highs. as you walk further into the room, he comes to find that your stockings are attached to a garter belt.
he can feel the tent in his pants grow as you repeat your previous actions. your little twirl, this time revealing cute little baby pink panties. all of you seems so innocent but the thoughts in his mind are quite the opposite.
“i told you you’d like this outfit, heuningie” you say, wiggling your ass around to make your skirt swish around. he can’t see behind you, but he knows that your ass is fully peeking out of your skirt at your slightly bent over angle.
“i do like this outfit, baby” he licks over his bottom lip. he shifts uncomfortably in his spot on the couch. he wants to just pull you onto his lap and have his way with you. “i love it.”
your eyes are basically begging him to throw you around and have his way with you.
“you’ve got quite a problem growing, don’t you” you tease. he gets up off the couch and walks towards you. he wraps his arm around your waist, pulling your body flush against his. his hand travels to your ass, gripping it hard enough to leave a light handprint. it feels so possessive.
“you know exactly what you’re doing, don’t you baby” he smiles at you. there’s something lustful behind his eyes. that’s exactly what you’ve been working on drawing out of him.
he flips you around, bending you at the knees and shoving your face onto the table in the middle of the room. “you just want to be treated like a slut, don’t you?” your thighs tremble at his suddenly vulgar words. he doesn’t apply too much pressure to your head, just enough to keep you pinned down.
“of course, heuning” you wiggle around again, this time your ass brushing directly on his bulge. he groans in your ear, the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end.
he picks you up with one arm, wrapped around your waist and carries you to your shared bedroom. if this was a tactic to show off his strength, it’s definitely got you soaked.
he throws your new clothes on the floor, all of it ending up strewn all over the room. he admires the way your skirt flips up when he throws you onto the bed.
“my perfect little slut, always dressing up so pretty for me” he climbs onto the bed and grabs your face. “open up” he squeezes your face to get you to open your mouth. he spits directly down your throat, kissing you immediately after.
you pass saliva back and forth between your mouths. honestly, one of your personal favorite activities. as gross as it sounds, it really feels quite intimate. sharing the hot, gooey essences from each other’s mouths, the wetness spilling out and covering each other’s mouths. it feels like such a connecting experience. the slobber collects all over your faces, your skin becoming slippery.
“messy whore” he bites your lip. you let out a sharp, shaky breath. your back arches and stutters back down. he slides his hands under your soft sweater and takes it completely off you. he loves the sweater. a lot. that’s why he was so careful with it.
he slides your little skirt off too, revealing your garter belt attached to your thigh highs. god he loves when you tease him like this. as much as he’d like to fuck you in the skirt, he knows you wouldn’t be too happy with him if he stained it the same day you got it.
he shoves your panties to the side and plunges two fingers inside you with no warning. your breathing catches in your throat, and he wraps his hand around your neck. his fingers dig into your neck enough to cut off your airflow, borderline completely. you wrap your hands around his wrist, gasping for air, but the sensation heightens your pleasure.
“ffffuck” you manage to gasp out. he releases your throat long enough for you to take a few gasping breaths before cutting off your airflow again. he adds another finger, thrusting them in and out at an unfathomable pace for your oxygen-lacking brain.
your legs shake as he brings you closer and closer to your orgasm by the second. he watches as his fingers disappear in and out of you, the way you just suck him in so perfectly.
“c-cumming fuck kai” your voice is just barely above a whisper. you explode all over his hand, the bed and his shirt. he releases your throat, you gasp loudly, your body full of post-orgasm tremors.
he strips himself of his pants and underwear, intending to wash them sooner or later. he pulls his shirt over his head and tosses it onto the floor along with your clothes. he doesn’t even bother to remove any of your lower undergarments. he just moves your panties to the side and shoves himself in.
“my pretty little slut” you whine into his ear. “you love being full of cock, don’t you? you’re just my little cockslut” he bites down on your neck, not enough to break the skin but enough to leave a mark. “you dress all slutty for me just so i’ll stuff my cock in you, don’t you?”
“yes, fuck, oh my god kai” you scramble to dig your nails into his back, holding him as close to you as possible. “all i ever want is your cock” you whine and plead as your orgasm builds up in your stomach.
the sounds of skin slapping and heavy breathing fill the room. your quiet whines fill his ears the most. little squeals of pleasurable sounds, repeated moans of his name. you make him weak.
“aww my cock-drunk baby. you’re clenching so hard. do you wanna cum?” he taunts you. he taunts you and it makes you want to cum even more. you nod vigorously. “yes, wanna cum kai” your eyes fill with hot tears. “then beg for it” he sneers at you, his hips picking up the pace.
“please please please let me cum, heuningie. please, i need it. need it so bad” your voice gets progressively louder as it becomes more and more difficult to hold back your orgasm. tears spill out of your eyes, forming puddles next to your head. “cum for me, my beautiful baby” his sudden sweetness sends you spiraling, orgasming so hard that your brain goes foggy and your vision blurs.
“where do you want it?” he groans. you struggle to get words out. “in-in-inside” your stuttering sets him off. he releases his fat load inside of you, sweat dripping off his forehead.
he pulls out and gathers some of his cum and your own on his fingers. “open” you open your mouth, inviting his dirtied fingers into your tongue. you savor the saltiness and the bitterness. you swirl your tongue around the tips of his fingers, licking them clean.
“please, never stop wearing thigh highs.”

more tiger hybrid hyuka >///<
nsfw or sfw idc just tiger hyuka
LIAAAAA !!! i have so many thoughts dw babe tiger!hyuka lives rent free in my head rn (the thoughts in italics are recycled from the ask i sent lia here)
tiger!hyuka who preys on you - but not in the way you're thinking ok maybe kind of in the way you're thinking but i mean like ??? his eyes are always on you and like you can feel someone staring at you but you can't see him because he hides himself so well in his surroundings
tiger!hyuka who pounces on you when you're sat still for too long, or laid in bed chilling, but does the little butt wiggle that felines do before pouncing :(
tiger!hyuka who - like all tigers - prefers solidarity :( but that changes so fast when he meets you !! now he's inseparable from you, and can't understand why he enjoyed being alone so much now
tiger!hyuka who bounces into your room, showing off a bug he caught like prey - hes so proud that he caught it so you better give him praise !!
tiger!hyuka who sometimes forgets he can speak and often communicates through little vocalisations - purring or humming, even occasionally chuffing when he's particularly happy
tiger!hyka who enjoys going in walks to find fields with long, thick, wavy grass to play around in !! he enjoys sneaking up on you and scaring you playfully, and the wild vegetation only helps with that
tiger!hyuka who's an incredible swimmer, and can't help his instinct of jumping into any lake or river he can find - he loves playing in the water, especially after a day in the fields, so be prepared to have to carry spare clothes with you everywhere
tiger!hyuka who also uses signals a lot - scenting all your clothes and belongings so other hybrids know who you belong to >:( and through pawing/scratching !! so expect a lot of torn up cushions if u don't get baby hyuka a scratch post :(
tiger!hyuka who is a complete night owl - tigers usually hunt at night, and so his instincts just keep him up for so long !! he's usually pass the time by gaming, but sometimes he'll ask you to watch nature documentaries with him
tiger's mating patterns usually occur during november - april, so during these months be fully prepared for tiger!hyuka's breeding kink to go wild !! tiger's also usually have 2-4 cubs so be prepared for the chance of twins or triplets
tiger!hyuka who gets more aggressive/protective in an environment with more big cat!hybrids - specifically other tigers or lions
tiger!hyuka who spends a loooong time grooming himself each day !! his fur is his pride and joy, and he needs to keep it in tip top condition
tiger!hyuka who gets along most with bears, leopards and wolves because of his instincts, although these animals are more active in the day so there isn't much collaboration
tiger!hyuka who sleeps most of the day because of his nocturnal instincts, and you can usually find him dozing on the couch - especially if the sun is shining in on him
tiger!hyuka who left home young, because tiger's leave their parents' territory at a young age - and moved far away so the males in his family wouldn't think he was challenging them for their territory
(a/n: scheduled post!)
