a little help - chapter 1

a vox x actress!reader story.

a/n: okay so i caved and decided to make this an actual story wml

it was the 50’s. the golden age of hollywood. here you were, sister to a famous actor and daughter of a famous actress. always looking up to them in your childhood, you also wished to have fame.

your family traveled often. you and your brother were born in nebraska, grew up in california, and moved to manhattan by the time you graduated from college. you and your mom were the only ones who stayed in manhattan, with your brother and father leaving to illinois. the state where you are expected to go now.

“y/n, honey, i’m just scared for you to travel alone! you know in this day and age it is very dangerous to do for a pretty young woman such as yourself!” your mother pestered you as you packed your luggage.

you planned to go on a train to illinois. just to get more job opportunities as an actress. sure, new york had a handful of stars but you were always hired just to be in commercials! it was time for a change and fast. you were in your 20’s afterall! stardom could not come quicker if you stayed in manhattan.

“i get it, ma, but I need to leave! you know it’s just 20 short hours on a train and i will be reunited with marlon and daddy,” you responded with a slight sigh.

your mom picked up one of the discarded dresses on your bed and folded it. she neatly put it in the messy pile you made in your luggage. it was the last one. you and your mother closed the briefcase, with one hand on either side. you locked it.

“i guess so, huh? but you better take care of this gordy luggage of yours! gosh you’ve had this since we first moved to cali,” ma rolled her eyes as you walked out of your room and down the stairs.

“i get it, ma,” you hissed. you put the briefcase down as you put on a coat over your travel dress. ma pointed and shook her finger at you. you opened the door and was about halfway out when she shouted.

“and i better not see any ankle-biters running around when you get back! i love you baby!”

“i love ya too, ma.”

and you were on your way to 42nd street. ecstatic as ever, you reread the brochure you got when you first bought your ticket. a discount given graciously after the vendor recognized you from a couple commercials you’ve filmed. the train was a diesel one- only just have made the switch about five years ago. people even called it the world’s greatest train, with the amount of luxuries it provided.

you walked up the carpeted stairs. being on the poorer side of passengers, your seat was all the way back. finding it, you went face to face with your seat. it looked a bit small and uncomfortable but you could make it work. you stepped backwards, your head colliding into someone’s shoulder. the briefcase in your hands springing open.

“im so sorry oh my christ im so sorry…” you rambled to the stranger.

“no no, don’t worry about it dear,” he chuckled in response. “mistakes happen here and there.”

“please accept my apologies. my name is y/n brando,” you stretched you hand in front of him for a handshake. he took it and pressed your skin to his lips.

“call me vox.”

I’ve been gone for more than a hot minute (Sol, it’s been two months), so I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek on the things I’ve been working on! (Because maybe some people wanna know??? Like. Maybe???)

KINNPORSCHE

vicious & vulnerable vegaspete omegaverse

This baby will be all about flashback chapters soon, so I’m bulk-updating (expect four chapters to arrive in May) soon.

Here’s what to expect in Chapter 8:

KinnPorsche TVTropes challenges

smoking while i'm running on my treadmill soulmate au Vegas and Kinn, genfic Chapter 2 is going to be up this month! Since this fic tends to have fewer chapter word count, I'll share the first two paragraphs just so it won't spoil the whole thing:

They’re staying at the same school. The only thing Papa says, when Kinn brought up but someone just tried to kill Vegas, was “Don’t kill them," said not to Kinn, but to Vegas.

Maybe it's meant to be a consolation prize. Either way, Vegas took it not as a warning to stay away, but as a guideline—don't kill them being the hard limit.

Also in the works: two femslash genderbend fics! KinnPorsche will get one fic, and VegasPete will get another. Also arriving in May, because this thing just needs a bit more polish <3 The KinnPorsche one is completely inspired by this fanart:

The VegasPete one is more.... VegasPete-y:

Other stuff that I'm also writing for the KP TVTropes challenge though I have no idea when it'll be finished: BigKen fic where Big knows that Ken is sus from the beginning and Ken responds by trying to seduce him

"Hey, isn't it weird that the people who shot us are all dead now? Guess karma exists, after all. Maybe we could spread some rumors, make a name for ourselves. Become this fearsome couple you know. BK." And then Ken thinks, out loud. "Wait that just sounds like Burger King."

Hogwarts AU KimChay where Kim is from a Thai-British family while Chay is an exchange student and they bond over their love of magical creatures (ft. slightly necromancy-inclined Porchay)

Porchay's first impression of Magical London is dust and musty smell. He'd like to blame it on the international floo, but he remembers what his hia said—"I feel like they should use the broom to dust the whole place down instead of flying around with them"—so he tries not to expect that this is going to be just a one-time thing, really.

KimArm fic where Arm's expertise in burlesque dancing is needed for a Kim Possible mission (sorry, i can't help it)

"So. I heard that you're really good at stripping." Arm twitches, almost wanting to blurt out, who told you? But this is Khun Kim, who he knows keeps sending phishing emails to both his cousins and brothers, with the only person who has yet to have their personal accounts broken into being Tankhun. Arm wishes he could claim that it was his due to his "immediate awareness of the threat posed by the delivered e-mail" as he writes in his report, but mostly, it was just Tankhun going, "Well, that's definitely not an email from Dior, the font’s all wrong. Hey Arm, we have a security breach!"

BIG DRAGON

take the steering wheel baby (but i'll set the pace) an entire rewrite of Big Dragon, which in the beginning was just supposed to a horny and funny romp but ya know it happened

YES THIS FIC IS STILL GOING TO BE UPDATED. I'm like way too invested now to just let it fall by the wayside. I wanna get this out in May (and tbh it's very likely to happen as well, since it's nearly done), so wml?? Here's a sneak peek of Chapter 6:

Yes, it is a funny fic but it's not being very funny right now :(

So, yeah, a bunch of stuff in the works, some will be out soon, and some will be languishing in the drafts for some time, but I hope you had fun reading these snippets anyway :3

WML Chapter 11: Just another work day

The next morning Hermione woke to the sound of Draco coming through the door. He was carrying a tray with a plate of food and a large glass of juice.

“Good morning. Someone was sleepy this morning.” He said as he walked towards her.

She smiled, stretched, and then sat up in the bed. He set the tray across her lap and took a seat next to her legs on the bed. He gently rubbed the top of her leg and then he grabbed a piece of bacon from the plate and took a bite.

She chuckled at him and then looked down at the tray, taking in the sight and smell of the breakfast that had been prepared for her.

“Thank you. Did you make this?” She asked and raised an eyebrow questioningly at him.

He popped the rest of the bacon strip into his mouth and smiled.

“I did actually. Surprised?” He continued to smile at her and went back to rubbing lovingly on her leg.

She glanced back to the plate. It had multiple pieces of bacon, sausages, toast, beans, and black pudding with one fried egg. It was more than she would usually eat first thing in the morning but it all looked and smelled delicious.

“Impressive.” She replied, ignoring his question.

He laughed then he squeezed her leg before standing up. He leaned forward and gave her a loving kiss. She moaned deep in her throat at the comfortable, loving feeling.

Draco stood back up and smirked at her.

“Wish I had more time but I have some things to take care of today. I want you to eat and relax here as long as you like. I will be gone for most, if not all, of the day, unfortunately.”

She knew that he spent a lot of time helping his mother manage the Malfoy business. He was becoming a bigger part of the business and knew that lately, he had been dedicating a lot more time towards it.

“Okay. Thank you again for this lovely breakfast. I will probably head home soon to shower and run a few errands.”

If he was disappointed, he didn’t show it. He nodded to her.

“Sounds like a plan. I probably won’t see you again until tomorrow at work then.”

He sighed a little and walked a little closer to the door before turning back around to look at her.

“Would you like to go to dinner with me tomorrow?”

She smiled at him and nodded. “Yes. I would love that.”

He grinned back at her then turned and left the room.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The rest of the day flew by in a blur and before she knew it, it was already Monday afternoon and she was sitting in her office. She was trying to concentrate on the paperwork sitting in front of her but her mind kept wandering. She caught herself daydreaming about Draco multiple times.

At this rate, she wasn’t ever going to get anything done. She shook the thoughts away and tried again to focus on her work.

The next few hours went much the same and as the workday started to come to an end she finally gave up. She would have to put in a couple of extra hours tomorrow to make up for her being distracted all day.

She gathered up a few files that needed to be delivered to Draco and headed out of her office. Most of the floor had been cleared out already and it was quiet as she made her way through the building. When she reached his office door, she cleared her throat softly and took a deep breath. She always felt a little nervous before seeing him.

She knew that he was expecting her so she didn’t bother knocking. She walked in and sat the files down on his desk.

“This is all I have for today.” She said simply and then walked around the corner of his desk.

He looked up at her and grinned.

“Was someone a little distracted today?” His grin turned into a smirk.

She looked down sheepishly and replied, “Yes.”

Then she walked closer to him and leaned against the desk.

“I couldn’t stop thinking about you.” She said softly.

“Mmmm.” He sighed.

He stood up and pushed his chair back as he pulled her over to stand in front of him.

“On that note. I wanted to talk to you about something.” He said as he locked eyes with her.

Hermione moaned internally. She knew where this was headed. This was ‘the talk’ about their relationship and where things were going with them.

“Okay.” She replied simply and bit her lip nervously.

He chuckled and smiled at her. He pulled off his ministry robes and laid it across his chair. Then he started to pull hers down her shoulders.

“No need to be nervous. I’m not going to try to get more from you than you are willing to give right now.”

He gathered her robes from her and then laid it in the chair with his. He turned back to face her and closed some of the distance between them before continuing.

“I know things are complicated for you right now. I don’t want to have a big talk about relationships and feelings because I know you aren’t ready yet but I do want you to know that I have feelings for you. All I need from you is to tell me that you’re mine.”

Hermione felt her body heat and felt relieved that they didn’t have to have a long discussion about the future and what their relationship was. She smirked at him, grabbed his shirt collar, and pulled him down so she could whisper in his ear.

“I’m yours.”

Before she knew what was happening, he lifted her onto his desk and started kissing her. She responded to his touch and she opened her mouth to let him explore her with his tongue. He had both hands tangled in her hair as she wrapped her legs around his hips to bring his body closer.

They were kissing hard and hungry and desperate. Her body was on fire and she could feel the familiar pressure and wetness between her legs. She brought her hips forward and rubbed herself against the large bulge in his trousers. He grunted softly against her lips then started to slowly trail his left hand down her body.

He rubbed softly against her neck, gently pinched at her nipple and squeezed her breast, rubbed her abdomen with the back of his fingers as he slid it down to eventually stop between her legs.

He pulled her panties to the side and slid a finger through her slick folds. He barely touched her and every time she thought he would finally slide a finger inside of her, he would pull away. He was teasing her.

She groaned in frustration and he pulled back from the kiss to smirk at her. He knew exactly what he was doing and he was enjoying it.

He bit her lip and then trailed kisses down her jaw to her neck. He sucked lightly and nipped at her skin.

Hermione tried to wiggle her hips to get more friction from his finger but he wouldn’t let her. He kept lightly rubbing a single finger up and down through her folds but never pressing his finger inside of her.

“Greedy aren’t we.” He whispered in her ear and then pulled his hand away.

She bit her lip to keep from groaning out in frustration again.

Draco reached behind her and pushed things off the edge of his desk and then gently pushed her back so she was laying across the large wooden desk. As the cold wood touched her hot skin, she shivered.

He smirked at her again and then leaned over her and started trailing kisses across her neck. He slowly kissed and nipped across her skin, moving down her body. He stopped at her breasts and squeezed them appreciatively with both hands as he lightly bit one of her nipples through the fabric of her dress.

She moaned loudly and felt her hips buck slightly at the sensation. She put her hands in his hair and tangled her fingers in the soft locks. He continued to slowly kiss down her body, finally reaching his destination. He looped two fingers in her panties and quickly pulled them from her body, then stuffed them in his pocket.

As the cool air hit her exposed sex she felt herself become warmer and wetter. She closed her eyes and tried to relax her body as he sucked down her thigh. He was leaving love bites along her inner thigh as he very slowly made his way across her exposed flesh.

Draco knelt further and wrapped his arms around her legs and held her hips down with both hands as he licked her, teasing her.

Hermione was thankful that he had thought to hold her down or she probably would have bucked him right off her. The sensation was intense and exhilarating.

He licked at her opening and pressed his tongue against her clit. He gave it a few gentle sucks before using his tongue to press into her entrance. He used his mouth to fuck her and she could feel her toes curling as she let her head fall back. She started to moan and pant loudly as he continued to use his mouth on her.

He swirled his tongue and then sucked on her clit again, then he slowly dipped two fingers inside her. He pressed his tongue against her clit as he started to pump his fingers. Then he groaned against her, letting her feel the vibrations.

“Draco!” She moaned loudly and couldn’t help but press his face tighter against her body.

He started pumping his fingers faster and continued to gently use his tongue on her clit until her body finally spasmed and he felt her tighten around his fingers.

“Ah! Fuck, Draco!” She shouted as she climaxed.

He gave her one last kiss against her sensitive bud then stood up in between her legs. He looked down at her and slowly started to rub his fingers against her again. She sat up on the desk and pulled him into a deep kiss, not caring that she could taste herself on him.

As their tongues fought for dominance, he started to press his fingers inside of her. She moaned against his lips and wrapped her legs around his hips to close any space between them.

Feeling that she was wet enough to continue, he reached between them to unfasten his belt and open his trousers. He let them fall down his legs and he used one hand to grab his cock as it sprang free. He gave it a few pumps before lining it up with her entrance.

He grabbed her hips and she wrapped her arms around his neck as he slowly slipped himself inside her. They both moaned and panted together, breaking the kiss but they kept their lips together, breathing into each other as he pulled back and then slammed back into her.

His fingers tightened on her hips as he continued to plunge himself deeper. Hermione let her head fall to his shoulder and she kissed his neck as they continued to meet each other's thrusts.

“Ah oh... “ She was moaning incoherently and very loudly, he grunted softly in her ear.

Their hips were lined up perfectly and they connected just right as they both continued to thrust into each other. He was pulling at her hips every time he pushed into her, making every thrust hit hard and deep.

They were wildly fucking with abandon, not caring how loud they were. Hopefully, there wasn’t anyone around to hear them anyway and if there was then they would deal with that later because right now, they didn’t care. They were only focused on their pleasure and the pressure building deep in their bodies.

The large desk started to creak as he pounded into her and papers and books fell off the sides, landing in a pile on the floor.

She could feel her body ready to explode and she was now screaming with every thrust.

“There, there, harder!” She begged and then bit into his shoulder as he hit that sweet spot deep inside her.

It only took a few more hard thrusts before she came completely undone. She screamed out loudly and threw her head back as her body flinched and spasmed.

Draco started fucking her faster and before she could come down from her high, his body tightened and she felt him release inside her. He moaned deep in his throat as he came with her and they held on to each other for dear life as they climaxed together.

They stayed like that for a minute, catching their breath before they finally pulled apart. Hermione felt wobbly on her legs as she stood up from the desk; her legs were like jelly.

Draco pulled his trousers up and he refastened his belt as she pulled her dress down and smoothed it out. She started to look around the room and was surprised by the mess they made. She had been completely oblivious while it was happening, living only in the moment.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it cleaned up.” He said, almost like he heard her thoughts.

He pulled out his wand and started to magically pull the mess from the floor to land gently in neat piles on his desk. It only took a minute and once it was all cleaned up, she noticed something was missing. She walked around his desk and looked all over the floor.

“Looking for something?” He drawled out.

She turned to face him and saw him holding her panties in the air with a single finger. He was smirking at her as he stuffed them back into his pocket.

“Hey! I need those.” She said and walked up to him as if to take them.

He quickly grabbed her and spun her around. He pushed her hips against his desk and he pressed his body against her.

He held her hips in place with one hand and wrapped his other gently over her throat. He squeezed lightly, applying gentle pressure on her neck. She was surprised to feel her body tingle and warm at the sensation.

He used his thumb to turn her face towards his and he kissed her. Deep and longing. He traced his tongue over her lip and then bit it as he pulled back.

“I like you better without them.” He breathed into her ear.

He lowered the hand from her hip to hike up her dress and he softly traced his fingers across her sensitive folds. He let one finger slide inside her wet entrance and then pulled his hand away, leaving her wanting.

“Easy access.” He whispered as he pulled away.

She took a deep breath to steady herself. She was stunned at how fast he could turn her on and she was a little shocked, to say the least, to find that she liked his dominance. She cleared her throat as she moved away from the desk and smoothed her dress down again.

Draco grabbed her hand and they intertwined their fingers as he pulled her towards the door. He stopped just before opening the door and gave her a quick chaste kiss.

“Let’s eat.” He said and smiled at her as they finally exited the office.

With My Life - Chapter One

masterlist - ao3 - next chapter

an: i kinda, i kinda have a new project oop 😳 enjoy

warnings: (all graphic) violence, gun violence, blood, smut, implied PTSD

summary: A simple mission, that’s all it was. Get in, get the list, get out and be home in time for dinner. But life doesn’t always work that way, does it? Now, it’s six months later and a war brews, one they all know might wipe countries off the face of the earth, and the only thing he has to show for the mission is a bullet wound that supposedly killed him and the wrath of a woman who wished he’d just die and stay dead, but then again… Lorcan Salvaterre never did like to listen.

The Varese sun had barely begun to rise in the pale blue sky when he woke up. He remained still, keeping his breath deep and even as he looked around the room.

Seeing that everything was as it should be, it seemed as though Lorcan Salvaterre had lived to see another day. With a soft groan and a stretch, Lorcan kissed his bedmate’s cheek and brushed her dark hair back before he got out of bed.

He stooped to pull on the shorts that had been carelessly discarded the previous evening and padded into his bathroom.

After using the amenities, Lorcan looked at himself in the mirror as he washed his hands, deciding it was probably time to shave. Opening the mirror cabinet, Lorcan gathered his shaving supplies and quietly shut the door, not wanting to disturb the woman in his bed.

A couple years back, for his birthday, he’d received an old-time shaving kit from Fenrys and Connall, who had claimed it was the only fitting gift for a scruffy old bastard like himself. They’d both received sharp swat to the head for the comment and he had vowed to throw it out as soon as he got home. Of course, he didn’t do that and had become partial to it. The twins were never to find out and it was a secret Lorcan would take to the grave.

As far as those two pups were concerned, Lorcan was still using some random shaving cream from the can and a cheap disposable razor from the store.

He’d just finished lathering the lower half of his face and jawline when the door was pushed open and in stumbled Elide Lochan, still half asleep as she buttoned up his dress shirt.

Upon seeing him, she paused, her lovely monolid-shaped eyes flicking over his half-covered face and the straight razor in his hand. Then, a cheeky grin spread over her plush and plump lips and she said, her already low voice hoarse with sleep, “You really are an old bastard, huh?”

Lorcan chuckled and put the blade down, tracking her movements in the mirror as she walked in and hopped up onto the sink counter. “I’ve been told.”

Elide smiled and fluffed her short, collarbone length hair. Her smile and her gaze softened as she tilted her head to the side, completely happy to sit while he got ready for work.

“Do me a favour, love,” Lorcan said, his voice low and his accent adding a rolling lilt to his words, slotting himself between her legs.

“Hmm? What is it?” She opened her eyes when she felt the cool tortoiseshell handle of the razor in her palm. Lorcan held it for her, his eyes open and honest. “Me?”

“You.”

Elide’s eyes widened and she glanced up at him, seeing that he was utterly serious. “You trust me?”

“With my life, Elide,” he told her, meaning every word.

Elide took the razor from him and rolled her eyes, flicking it open and fitting her fingers along the shank. She clicked her tongue, “So dramatic. It’s just a shave, Salvaterre.”

Lorcan hummed and leaned his head to the side, eyes on Elide as she bit her lip in concentration and held the wicked sharp blade up to right beneath his cheekbone. “Short strokes, Lochan.”

Her worried eyes turned to his and Lorcan gripped her thighs, rubbing soothing circles into her skin with his thumbs. Lorcan dipped his chin in a slight nod and his gaze tracked her eyes as she moved the razor in short, even motions.

After a few moments, she wiped the blade off on a towel and went back to the task at hand, decidedly ignoring his heavy gaze on her. “Stop staring at me like that,” she muttered, tapping his chin back to drag the razor down his sharp jawline. “Don’t want me to have an accident, do we now?”

She menacingly held the rounded tip of the razor to his throat, wearing a fierce frown. Lorcan bit back his laugh and held his hands up, “Nah, nah, do your thing.” He pressed his lips together to avoid smiling, but his eyes glittered with mirth.

Elide clicked her tongue again and continued, occasionally pausing to wipe the blade. At some point, she started humming unconsciously and tilted his chin back, “Stay still.”

Lorcan did as he was told and hardly breathed as she carefully pulled the blade over the front of his throat. Then, with a relieved sigh, she put it down and smiled as she picked up a damp cloth and patted his face. “Pretty good job for stress relief, huh?”

As the words hit him, Lorcan froze and inhaled sharply. “What did you say?”

Elide arched a manicured brow, slowly putting the cloth down. “...stress relief? That’s what I am, what we are to each other. It’s just sex.”

He hesitated, the words threatening to spill out of his mouth, but he managed to hold himself back and carefully said, “You know you mean more to me than fucking, E.”

Elide hummed and picked up the bottle of aftershave, screwing off the cap and dumping some into her hand. Lorcan made an irritated sound in the back of his throat, dropping his head down low. “Lochan... it’s not just the sex to me. I need you to know that. You matter to me, alright?”

He lifted his head when she said nothing and Elide shook her head subtly and patted his cheeks, softly rubbing the balm over his smooth skin. “Lorcan...”

He tried a different angle, pulling her hands away and squeezing her wrists gently. “El, I want to talk with you, but I have to get to work. Stay here today. We’ll go out tonight and- fuck–”

“L, L, calm down. Go to work, we’ll figure it out tonight, yeah?” She cupped his face in her hands and tilted her chin up, kissing the scar that ran down from his hairline and sliced through his left eyebrow. “It’ll be fine.”

Lorcan smiled and leaned down, kissing her lips once, twice, three times, until she was laughing quietly. “You’ll stay here today?”

“Mm-hmm, right here. I’ll snoop through everything and find out all your secrets, Salvaterre.”

A low laugh rumbled through his chest and Lorcan kissed her once more, nipping her full bottom lip before pulling away and looking in the mirror. “Wow, nice job, princess.”

“I told you to stop calling me that,” she hissed as he lifted her off the counter.

“I didn’t hear any complaints last night,” he said as she turned away. Lorcan tugged her back against his front and leaned down, pressing his lips to the back of her neck. “Princess.”

Elide huffed and shoved him away, crossing her arms tightly, “Yeah, well, last night was different, dickhead.”

“Different? How?”

A sly smirk curled her lips and Elide slowly backed away into his bedroom, “Well, for starters, it was a much different setting and I recall fewer clothes, but you know, silly me might be remembering something wrong.” She ran her fingers over the buttons of his shirt that she had plucked from his closet, toying with the top clasp before popping it open, just enough that he saw the swell of her breasts. “Would you be a darling and help me, please? Help your princess?”

Lorcan shook his head and gripped the edge of the marble counter, biting his cheek hard enough that blood bloomed across his tongue.

Elide cackled, throwing her head back as she laughed and laughed, delighting herself in his misery. Lorcan shook his head again and muttered to himself in his native language, stalking out the bathroom and hip-checking her on the way to his closet. “You’re a fuckin’ menace, Lochan.”

He opened the closet doors and looked through the row of dark coloured suits, just reaching for a navy blue one as a set of slim arms slid around his waist and Elide kissed the skin between his shoulder blades. “You wouldn’t have me any other way, baby.”

She wasn’t wrong.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Elide was watching him carefully as he put his Glock 19’s in his shoulder holster, a worried frown bunching up her brows. After securing his guns, Lorcan approached her, dutifully standing still as she fussed over the storm-grey tie he’d just tied perfectly.

She glanced up at him and tucked her lip between her teeth. “Be careful, ok?” She looked like she had more to say but held her tongue.

“Always, princess,” he quipped, holding his tie to his stomach as he bent to kiss her freckled cheek. “I’ll be safe, love. I promise.”

“Heard that before,” she accused him. The memory of him in the supposed hit and run accident was still bright in her mind, it seemed. Interesting. If only she knew what had really happened.

“I mean it this time,” he whispered, winking as he shrugged on his suit jacket. The dark navy colour contrasted beautifully with his russet complexion, soaking up the sun and setting the world aglow, the same way his black dress shirt made her pale, alabaster tone brighten until it looked like the full moon gleaming around him.

Lorcan did mean it this time, more than any other time he’d said it. Tonight, tonight he would tell Elide that he loved her. That he was in love with her, that he had been since that early morning he’d been tailing a gun runner into a café and this tiny, firecracker of a woman, told him he could sit at her paper and laptop crowded table.

He’d taken the seat and he’d almost let the man walk out of the store unnoticed because he’d been too distracted staring at her gorgeous fucking face and by her, Elide.

“What should I wear tonight?”

“Hmm? Tonight?”

Elide laughed, “For dinner.”

Dinner. Oh. Dinner-dinner.

“Um, I don’t know, a fancy dress?”

“Ooh, fancy?”

Lorcan chuckled and wrapped his arms around her petite waist, his hands splayed across her lower back as he dipped her. He leaned in, brushing the tip of his nose against her, brushing his lips over hers before he whispered, “Very, very fancy, princess.” Then, he slanted his mouth over hers and kissed her, kissed her until she needed a moment to breathe and collect herself.

He ruined the moment by grabbing her ass and laughing as he stood them up straight. Elide rolled her eyes, raising up onto her tiptoes to kiss his cheek, “Stay safe for me, ok?”

Lorcan buttoned his one-button and cupped the side of her neck in one hand, stroking his thumb over her jaw. “I swear I will. Have a good day, yeah?”

“Yeah. I’ll try,” she said quietly, turning to finger his cufflinks and brush her fingertips over the outline of the gun beneath his arm.

“Bye, princess.”

“Get out of here, stupid,” she whispered, grinning as they both backed up and then turned, her to run back to his bed, and Lorcan to the front door of his apartment.

+*+*+*+*+*+*

Lorcan perused the aisle of cars in the garage, looking at every single one with exact scrutiny until he reached his - a sleek, black Aston Martin DB5. He let out a large breath as he sat behind the driver’s wheel. He just hoped today was an easy one. He needed easy.

Pulling out of the parking garage, he nodded once at the security guards as he drove onto the busy street. Even early in the morning, Varese was already bustling, and he suspected it had something to do with the burning sun. The city tended to be busiest in the morning and late afternoon, calming down when the sun was at its highest point.

He drove in silence, not turning on the radio to let himself think, to slip into the mindset he needed for his job.

A few short minutes later, he pulled up in front of a nondescript building, slightly shorter than the ones surrounding it and kind of drab. Its concrete walls had once been a refreshing white along the coastline of Varese, but now it was a sickly beige colour.

Lorcan looked up and down the street before stepping out of the car and locking it. No one looked his way as he crossed the road, reading the sign beside the front doors. Cadre Private Security.

The plaque always had a glimmer of something bright in his chest, be it quiet amusement at the front or a sense of belonging or even a familial love, that no matter where, the cadre would always be one.

He pulled the tinted glass doors open and walked through the stiflingly hot lobby, over the dirty and scuffed tiled floor. Hellas below, he understood that pretenses needed to be kept, but the no air conditioning was horrid.

Lorcan pressed the elevator button, feeling it click and whir gently as the technology recognized his fingerprint.

He waited patiently for the elevator to stop and when it did, it was empty like always. Lorcan stepped in and subtly punched in the code that would grant him access to the restricted levels, far beneath the surface of the earth.

The elevator shot down smoothly, going past the parking garages and other underground levels. He knew that there were cameras and other biometrics scanning him and that if he didn’t have the authority to access the hidden levels, the ride would stop at the lowest parking level.

Lorcan watched the level numbers glow green and stood still as the elevator came to a gentle stop and the doors slid open automatically.

The moment he stepped out of the elevator, he was greeted by cool air and sighed in relief. He despised the heat.

Lorcan walked across the laminate floor, nodding a hello to the receptionist sitting at the desk. “Good morning, Philippa.”

“Good morning, Agent Salvaterre.”

Where’s my love: I lost it All (3) and Still Enough?

i’m not gonna answer the WML one because the series is out rn, and i don’t wanna give anything away cus that chapter ^ is VERY important. pretty much the climax of the story. but Still Enough is with Peter, and it’s the reader being insecure about whether she’s enough for him, like if she makes him happy enough or if he’s getting bored of her. it’s angst & fluff

What is Understanding The Powder Coatings Market ?

With new technologies being developed regularly, the powder coatings industry continues to grow at a rapid pace. In such a competitive environment, it is very important for powder coatings manufacturers to remain on their toes and keep a sharp lookout for the latest developments in the industry. With so many players in the market, it is essential to understand who are the top players in the industry and what are the latest developments in this industry.

Powder Coating Manufacturers: There are numerous powder coatings manufacturers in the market, all of which manufacture a variety of different varieties of powder coatings. Some of the most popular ones include PPG, PEO, WML and OSHA. To make the selection easier, it is important to understand their unique selling points. Each manufacturer has unique advantages that sets them apart from the others.

Price: Price is another important factor that is considered when choosing a powder coatings manufacturer. Different powder coatings systems have different prices and thus, the selection becomes quite difficult. The best way to approach the problem is to know your requirements and then find out the powder coatings systems that meet them. For example, powder coatings systems for general surface use can be extremely different from those used for sensitive installations and repair work. Hence, it is important to understand your usage requirements and then accordingly choose a powder coating system.

Performance: Another thing to consider is the performance of the powder coatings. Are they capable of providing the same level of protection as other more costly varieties? There have been instances where some powder coatings have performed much better than others in certain applications. Hence, when choosing a powder coatings manufacturer, you should ensure that they have a good record of performance.

Availability: Powder coatings are extensively used in many industries around the world. However, due to their availability, they tend to get installed very often and hence, there is a high demand for fast installation. However, if your powder coatings needs are not huge, then you should be able to install them yourself. Otherwise, you should look for professional powder coatings installation services.

Technology: Finally, you should be clear about the technology used by the powder coatings market. Some coatings are made with modern equipment, whereas some are made using old technologies. Hence, before deciding on a company, it is important to enquire about the technologies used. This will help you avoid buying a powder coatings product that does not work with your equipment. However, if you are sure that your equipment works with all types of powder coatings, then you can buy the powder coatings with the latest technology.

Remanufacturing: Lastly, it is important to know about the process of remanufacturing. Many companies offer powder coatings at a very low cost as compared to other powder coatings. However, there might be several reasons why the price of these products is so low. First, there may be some excess materials which have been cured during manufacturing. Or, there could be some other reasons such as inferior quality raw ingredients etc.

If you are considering purchasing powder coatings products, make sure that you do your homework well. Read the reviews of other customers on the particular company. Look for customer ratings on the Internet as well. Although powder coatings are not at all a difficult task, you should know how to tackle the issue before making a purchase.

Cost - One of the most important things that you need to keep in mind when looking at the powder coatings market is the cost of the powder coatings. Some of the companies will offer free powder coating demonstration and you can avail of this facility for your benefit. However, if the cost of powder coatings is too high, you should not go in for this option. Remember, there is no use of wasting money on a product that you do not require. Instead, try to look out for coupons, discounts or special offers from companies so that you can save some money on coating.

Types of powder coatings - The powder coatings market has a wide range of coatings available. However, the powder coatings that are in demand at the moment are latex powder coatings. People love them because they are easy to maintain and clean. They can also withstand any weather condition and they last longer than most other types of coatings. Therefore, powder coatings become all the more important if you are dealing with any highly demanding industrial requirements.

Right powder coatings - There are many companies that are manufacturing good powder coatings. You just need to look out for the right powder coatings that suit your requirements. The powder coatings market is huge. Therefore, you should take up some time to understand the various options that are available. If you want to make sure that you get the best results, you should always work with a reputed company that is involved in the powder coatings market for quite some time now.
