PARKING GARAGE
ANY CAR IN A STORM
PHOENIX CASINO HALL
WELCOME TO THE NEXT 168 HOURS
Phoenix Casino is a-flutter with activity and packed to the beak with guests. As a famously ever-changing space, the staff would be remiss if they didn't deck the crown jewel of the Golden Peacock out. The casino glitters from top to bottom, shining brighter than diamonds, rubies, sapphires, opals! Party-goers are shiny and glamorous with picture perfect makeup, fluttering gowns, and sharp suits. Card tables are packed and the slot machines are a-ringing as guests play, play, play! Prizes, luxury, booze, attractive people, it's the place that everyone wants to be at.
Those people being dragged inside by some invisible force...? Silly, they were so excited to come that their bodies moved before they realized what was happening. Those are struggles of joy and definitely not the casino's infamous ghost hands dragging unwilling guests to the party at the behest of the house. Look, they're literally hurling their bodies at the card tables with unrestrained glee!
All clocks indicating day hours and night hours have been removed from the casino. Once a guest has entered, their Watch will jam, making it impossible to keep track of the time. You don't need to worry about that tonight.
▶ All characters on the TDM are WILDCARDS, which means they have not yet been assigned a card value. Suits will not manifest until characters are accepted into the game.
▶ All TDMs are game canon. This TDM acts as the game's January event.
▶ Current characters may top level on the TDM. Any current characters posting to the TDM should note they are current in their subject header.
▶ The top level directory is for new characters only. We want to make sure new characters are prioritized and receive attention! If you would be interested in a game invitation, you can note that in your comment header. This month we also have an ongoing ATP / EMP where players can connect. Please feel free to utilize this for all of your peafowl needs!
▶ If you aren't satisfied with these prompts, please feel free to check out our LOCATIONS to explore more of the resort!
▶ Smut threads that take place on this TDM can be used for rewards. If both parties in the smut thread join the game, you may retroactively apply the character's initial card values to your 52 bank. If one character does not join the game the thread will not be applicable toward rewards (as that character would not have a card value). The character that does join would still receive a small payout for the encounter. Hopefully it was a fun thread regardless!

“The thing about hunches” — Hank squeezes the counter before pushing himself forward — “is they’re usually bullshit.”
He doesn’t mention how his hunches are often right. But that’s his job, anyway — to be able to read people — and he’d rather not unleash his ever-present contrarian to argue semantics. Not now.
“And who knows? Maybe I’m not trustworthy. Maybe nobody here is, because power corrupts. Money and sex and winning. All these flashing lights and little ding-ding sounds telling us how we’ve won — but what are we winning, really?”
Hank doesn’t quite close the distance between them, but he’s bridging the gap. Mirrors looming around them, tall and glaring. Soon to reflect all of Hank’s insecurities right back at him.
“I’m not the good guy here.” Pausing to tuck his hands in his pants pockets. Rolling back on his heels. “But I suppose that doesn’t matter.”
A sad smile, then: “Could be worse, yeah? Could’ve ended up with someone worse than this sad old fuck.
“And I’m not gonna take your mask off, so you don’t gotta worry about all that.”
It’s not at all the same, but usually Hank keeps his shirt on during sex. Lights off. So he gets wanting to hide parts of himself — feeling like he needs to, even. Protecting himself and others. Not that anyone would die if they looked him in the eye, but hell if it doesn’t feel that way sometimes.
“So I guess the question now is: you want the clamps with the chain, or the pretty ones — all blue like my eyes?”
Shit. Some of that temptation makes his breath catch. Beyond that, however, he takes a definitive step closer to Hank in turn, as if he might try to use his meager 3" height bonus to his advantage. He doesn't, but it almost feels like that.
"Sir-- with all due respect..."
Another step closer.
"If you don't want to use any of those on yourself, you can always use both sets on me. I'm not going to make you reveal yourself, either."
A beat.
"We don't have to be "good guys" to do some good. And I'd rather more or less go with my own gut that you're a decent person, than have to deal with any punishments, which could be unappealing."
He swallows, throat bobbing. His voice softens, hesitant, even as it bounces off the walls like it's some blaring announcement.
"Although.. that's probably my desperation talking more than anything. I've only ever had my own hand, and toys I acquired for myself. And the knowledge that I'd probably die young thanks to my current condition."
A beat, and he makes a point of tilting his head to look Hank over - down, and then up. He works on opening up his shirt again, but this time, he shrugs out of it, tossing it onto the sinks-lined counter. In the better lighting, the glinting of silver fur is much more prominent on his body.
His voice drops a little, syllables woven with soft growling.
"You, are not unappealing. Will you show me what pleasure with you looks and feels like?"
“Maybe I want to ‘reveal myself.’ You ever think of that? Maybe I just wanna not think about it for a while. Despite” — Hank raises his voice now to whine — “all of these goddamn mirrors.
“And I don’t gotta take my shirt all the way off. That sounds... kinda nice.”
As does getting this resort-furnished suit all sweaty: a nice little ‘fuck you’ to the guys in charge, although they seem richer than god so Hank doubts they’d care.
But still.
“Nice of you to offer. Willing to take on my burden, and all that.” Hank starts unbuttoning his shirt. Slowly. One hand tugging at his too-tight collar, loosening the tie. “Maybe I wanna feel it, though. Feel what you do.”
Because he does. It’s just hard to say that, despite everything — both this place and himself — he’d like to try.
“Never thought hearing someone call me ‘not unappealing’ would sound so sexy, but I guess here we are.”
He eyes Alivian’s chest: the slope of his waist. The curves of his pecs. He wants to touch — and he will.
“Oh, I can show you all right. Just tell me what you want. Or...”
Is that a stupid question? It’s probably a stupid question. If Hank hadn’t had sex before, his answer to that would be ‘everything.’
Alivian's jaw drops, a surprised huff of breath escaping him at the words, though his masked gaze follows every movement of Hank's hands like a hawk. The tug of the collar, the slip of a tie through nimble fingers. Buttons parting one by one.
"...I won't say no. But I feel the need to clarify something. It's not "wanting to take on your burden". It's. Well."
His face turns beet red.
"I'm... kinky at heart. I, uh... read bodice rippers, often enough... the use of two sets of clamps sounds interesting. But if you want them too, I won't take that away from you."
His ears airplane, but he still focuses on Hank even as his face turns a brighter and brighter shade of pink.
"Starting slow, though... I like the sound of that."
A beat, and he reaches out with a shaking hand, gently taking Hank by the shoulder and guiding him closer with a soft but insistent touch.
"Touch me as much as you want, because I want that. Please."
Hank lets Alivian draw him closer. He’s halfway done unbuttoning his shirt, and the thought of tearing it off is appealing. Less because he feels sexy — which he, almost horrifyingly, kind of does — and more because it would be sudden. Chaotic. Destructive.
The strangest thing about this encounter so far is that he’s not drunk — and that he doesn’t even feel like he needs it. And Hank is insecure, sure, but this isn’t about him. Not really. This is about letting that ‘kinky heart’ fly free.
And there’s relief in that, somehow. In the fact that they just met and yet there’s want.
The bathroom, too: Hank can admit this is weird. He’s never stepped foot in one so fancy, especially not with a cute guy asking him for his touch. A sweet guy who could murder Hank with his eyes, apparently. But is he scared? Not about that. If anything, he’s the one worried about being disappointing.
But again — letting that kinky heart fly free.
“So in these bodice rippers of yours” — Hank says this as if he doesn’t read them himself — “they often use two sets of clamps? Or is that something you thought of yourself?”
Hank can go slow. His eyes dart to his weird watch with all the instructions again: three hours and some change, ticking down. A sex act required for payout. He can do that, although he doesn’t know what, exactly.
One hand still slowly unbuttoning his shirt — he’s not trying to be cute; it’s just a task that needs doing — while the other reaches up to touch Alivian’s chin. Thumb brushing across his lips. Hank figures it’d be best to stay away from his mask — he said he wasn’t going to take it off and he meant it, danger or no — but hopefully this isn’t too much.
"I just-- pondered it, myself. One set could go on the nipples, but... how would the other set feel elsewhere?"
Oh no. His ears are pretty red at the tips now.
He also keeps watching Hank unbutton his shirt. He thinks to reach out, but Hank is quicker to do it; his heart jumps in his throat as his chin is captured, and he lets out a soft breath, shivering at the caress of a thumb to his lips. His fangs peek out a little in the process.
"...Never have, no."
His breath flutters a little against Hank's thumb, a little faster, a little uncertain.
He watches him keenly, hidden gaze flicking over Hank's entire being.
Which is Hank’s way of saying ‘yes, I fucking intend to kiss you.’ So he does, leaning in to press his lips against Alivian’s. Trying to angle his chin back, not pushing forward too hard because he knows how much beards can scratch.
And some people are into that. Others, not so much. So Hank is being careful.
Slow.
Fingers trailing along Alivian’s jaw. Down the slope of his neck and over his shoulder.
“Real creative, huh?”
Which is good, because one of them has to be. Hank’s simple: he goes with the flow.
“Gimme your little... the clamps.” A whisper against the corner of Alivian’s mouth. “The pretty ones.”
Oh. Well then. So this is what kisses feel like. He tries to focus as his thoughts jitter, and in the process of seeking out more, he tips his face closer, a soft, pleased groan spilling out as he feels the scratch of his facial hair.
He partially follows Hank when they part, wanting more of it, but he stops himself in order to listen. All he does, however, is shiver at the caress down his neck, along his shoulder, some of the tension in his body relaxing away, a little.
"...Oh... certainly."
He manages to retrieve the clamps with a shaky hand, slipping them from his pocket and gently into Hank's hand. His touch lingers unnecessarily, but innocently.
Now Hank has the damn things, and he’s gotta use them. He rolls them around his palm, thumbing at the little gems.
“I gotta say: I’ve never done this before. The whole clamp thing. So if I fuck up...”
How hard can nipple clamps be, though? Really? Still, Hank offers an apologetic shrug.
“I figure it’s supposed to hurt — in a good way — but if it’s too much, say something.”
Hank really has no idea what he’s doing. Does he just... go for it? What would he like?
Hmm.
After tucking the clamps in his pocket, Hank raises a hand to Alivian’s chest. Palm flat against him, feeling his heat. Like a spark through his fingertips. Then he’s moving toward one of Alivian’s nipples, two fingers circling. Soft, slow.
“This okay?” he asks. Voice rough; a little gravelly.
He shivers as he's touched like this, his skin soft and probably about as warm as Sumo's fur, in actuality.
He regards Hank thoughtfully, feeling that careful touch, only for his breath to hitch as Hank starts to play with a nipple. He's familiar enough with this sort of self-stimulation, but it's entirely a different thing when it's someone else's touch....
It's also not enough. It doesn't produce much of a reaction from him at all.
Hank sucks in a breath through his teeth when Alivian says ‘harder.’ And ‘please,’ both of which push so many buttons for Hank that his head is left spinning for a second.
But he needs to focus. Focus.
“Just figured it might be easier to get them on if you were, y’know.” He tightens his fingers around Alivian’s nipple, not quite pinching but rolling between his fingertips. “If you were hard.”
Now Hank is tugging a little, because god, he cannot help himself. Reaching for one of those damn clamps in his pocket, almost dropping it before he manages to raise it to Alivian’s chest. Squeezing it so the ends part just enough for him to slide onto Alivian’s nipple.
“How’s that?” His face is hot, scalding, as he brushes his thumb against the now clamped nipple. All pretty with its dangling jewel.
Alivian's response catches in his throat as he's given what he wants, a whine slipping out as he receives the attention he asked for. It also speeds up the process of that nipple being able to more satisfactorily take that clamp.
The weight that felt like nothing in his hand weighs on his chest a lot more. It's surface area clamps evenly around it, giving a feeling of pressure rather than painful pinching. Touching it sends a shock straight to his cock.
Alivian growls lowly, the sound more beast than man, and nods slightly. If his ears weren't already red, they would be now. His fangs show themselves a little as he breathes briefly through his mouth, trying to calm down his own reaction, to tame some of the lust building between his legs.
He's not small in the slightest, and it shows with how his slightly too-tight pants cup basically every curve of it. Knot and all.
Without waiting for more, he throws his arms around Hank's neck with a strained huff, and tries to tug him in for another kiss. If permitted, his sharp fangs nip painlessly against Hank's lower lip.
This is all Hank manages to mutter before Alivian is pulling him in. Teeth biting at his lip, which makes Hank groan. He slips his leg between Alivian’s, arousal pressed against his thigh.
“This is really doin’ it for you, huh?”
Hank’s breathing heavily against his lips. One hand sliding down the slope of Alivian’s waist before he’s clumsily reaching for that second clamp in his pocket.
“Can’t blame you, really,” he says, rolling Alivian’s other nipple between his fingers. Waiting a little longer this time before he uses the clamp: to tease. But also because he likes feeling the way Alivian’s body responds to his touch; likes the sounds of his whines and growls.
Then, finally: pressing another kiss to Alivian’s mouth, tongue sliding along his lips, as he gets that second clamp on. Brushing his fingertips against Alivian’s nipple again, but this time he plays with the dangly bit, too.
Alivian's breath hitches, growls again, and he offers more kisses in turn, lips brushing against Hank's jaw, beard and all.
"Yes--"
He stifles a curse, groaning as his chest is played with anew. His breathing huffs, and he partly ducks his head to endure it, especially when the second clamp is applied. It hurts, of course, but it's nothing compared to his usual aches and pains. His cock throbs and strains, and he lets out a soft, keening whine as pleasure multiplies; that jewel weight isn't light, and it sends almost overwhelming shocks through him with every flick.
He still wonders what it would feel like if any of these clamps were put on his dick. Or the soft skin between tail and ass.
Having it on his knot wouldn't be pleasant, he's certain.
"Dear gods--"
His hips shake a little with it, and he shoves a hand to the front of his pants to open them up-- just in time for kisses again. His own efforts are awkward, but he kisses back, slightly long tongue pressing back to Hank's in an invitation to kiss deeper. With that touch, should he follow, Alivian clearly has four fangs in his possession - the pair on top larger than the ones on the bottom.
Alivian’s kisses feel so needy, so wanting, and it’s endearing how he brushes his lips along Hank’s beard. As if it isn’t off-putting.
Hmm.
He isn’t trying to torment him — much — but Hank still lets his fingers play with the dangling jewels. Gently making them sway, but with their weight, he supposes the gentle part doesn’t help much.
“You sure make a pretty picture, don’t you?”
Because he does. All flushed and needy — and Hank’s barely touched him, really.
He lets his tongue slide against Alivian’s. Slowly; a little in awe. This whole casino-slash-resort is strange, sure, and winning a pair of nipple clamps — still unused, alas — was yet another oddity added to the pile. But the intensity of the situation didn’t really hit till they entered the bathroom. Till they were alone with the mirrors and Alivian was throwing off his shirt.
Hank feels Alivian’s teeth when they kiss: the sharpness of his fangs. Could really do some damage those, if he wanted to. If he were a biting sort of guy.
Hmm.
Too soon, Hank pulls away. He kisses the corner of Alivian’s mouth before shifting to his side. Arousal pressing against Alivian’s hip as Hank wraps an arm around his waist.
“What d’you think of the mirror?” he asks, as if there aren’t a dozen or so. Hank doesn’t particularly enjoy the sight of himself leering over Alivian’s shoulder, but he can deal.
As gentle as Hank's touch on those weighs are, it's definitely not very gentle, making the wolf whine and shiver with the jolts of sensation that are more pain than pleasure, but still utterly fascinating. He pants into their kisses, and lets out a whimpering, strained moan as Hank asks him the question about the mirrors.
He decides not to try to correct Hank about him making a pretty picture or not.
"The mirrors--"
Fuck, he'd forgotten about them for a moment. He catches himself in one of them, and if Hank's other hand is still anywhere near his chest, the way his heartbeat races is no joke.
"It--- it might feel so good that I may die??!" he complains, not that he believes in the idea of dying from pleasure in the first place.
But with the way his head is tilted, he's definitely still noticing himself in the many mirrors.
That isn't to say he doesn't notice Hank's arousal against his hip. He does. Hesitantly at first, he reaches out to brush against that length against his body, curious and increasingly wanting.
Alivian isn't sure where to put his hands next, other than to keep stroking that clothed length as Hank rocks his hips.
Also, he isn't sure what to do with the compliments. If that's what they are. He's not sure....
"I--I was thinking my dick, but with how hard these are holding on, that... that might be a bad idea??"
His ears airplane. There's a downside to this angle - Hank only has to pull back a little to see the irregular scars on Alivian's upper back. But it's also an open view to see that there's a very thick lining of fur along his spine, reaching from the tops of his shoulder blades and reaching down past his pants, and, pretty clearly, all the way to that soft tail of his.
His musculature is also slightly more pronounced from behind.
"I don't.. want it to hurt more than it feels good, you know...?"
His face is still so bright red; he'd like to fall into a hole right now.
Hank lets his hand slip lower, curling over Alivian’s. He watches their reflection in the mirror: the way his fingers appear to move so slowly, almost exaggeratedly. It’s not him, he swears. It’s the weird mirror.
Thumb brushing over Alivian’s knuckles now. Squeezing his hand, making him squeeze himself. Which makes a pretty picture in the mirror, in-fucking-deed.
“No, baby.” Hank presses what he hopes is a somewhat comforting kiss to Alivian’s neck. “Don’t want it to hurt too much. Wouldn’t do that to you.”
With his other hand, Hank trails up Alivian’s back. Fingers tapping, running along his skin: the slopes and curves of his muscles, then against the fur along his shoulders. Warm. Soft.
At this point, the sweet words, the baby, the kiss to his neck-- it's a lot. Even more so than the soft touch on his back. He twitches slightly at the first touch but otherwise he can see the movements in the mirrors decently enough. Gooseflesh raises up as fingers run up his fluffy spine, over a bare shoulder. The touch is so much gentler and warmer and real than even his dreams could drum up.
"Fuck--"
He squeezes Hank a little firmer, but gentle all the same, and then reaches for the front of his own pants, unzipping them to show the way his (admittedly, small and dainty, might as well be close to a ladies' thong in structure,) underwear is definitely not big enough to hold back his thick cock. The head strains against the front and leaves a wide gap between itself and the thin waist of his underwear, visibly wet with precum where it touches directly.
"...Still think I'm "baby" with a dick like this?"
Maybe his negative self-image is obvious there, oops.
“Hmm.” Hank licks his lips. Gazing into the mirror, expression almost drunken. “Suppose that depends on you.”
He reaches down to thumb the damp tip of Alivian’s cock. Underwear stretched all lewdly around him — underwear that Hank lets his fingers run along. Pulling back the fabric ever so slightly as a tease.
Resting his scruffy chin atop Alivian’s shoulder now, looking at their reflection again as he uses his other hand to reach around. Fingers on Alivian’s chin. Tilting his face up to meet Hank’s gaze in the mirror.
For good or ill, the sapphire lenses on that mask are damned-near opaque. But tipped up, the strong lighting shows a hint of his gaze - brow furrowed, eyes definitely watching Hank in return.
His cock twitches with it. With the touch to his dick that he presses his hips into.
"Maybe...? I don't dislike it..."
This is definitely different from the books he's read, but he's still struggling to catch his own stride in it.
"Sorry-- I'm... usually more assertive than this..."
“It’s okay. Sometimes it’s nice, not havin’ to be all assertive.”
Hank said he’d take it slow, and he meant it.
But.
Alivian’s cock is hard and wet and big, and Hank can’t help the way he circles the tip. Fingers dipping beneath his underwear to brush against him.
“It’s good to let go,” Hank murmurs. Not trying to goad Alivian into any particular mindset; he’s just being honest. And it’s hard, too — for Hank, anyway — to give someone else control.
His hand on Alivian’s chin reaches up, fingers brushing along his mouth.
Alivian whines as he's touched more, sweetly goaded. Fuck if it isn't having an affect, making him think things that are definitely... both sexy as well as questionably sexy for other people.
But when fingers brush along his mouth, he's suddenly in his element. His lips part at the touch, and he drags his slightly elongated tongue against those fingers, between two. He can't quite reach the gap between fingers, but it's closer than a human could; he still tries.
And as it is, he groans and licks those fingers like they've been touching somewhere tasty.
For now, he forgets about warning that he has a knot to contend with...
"More... touch..."
It feels... nice, to let himself get swept up in this. Still making eye contact through the mirrors.
Hank asks this even as he’s pushing past that flimsy underwear, fist gripping Alivian’s cock. Stroking the head of him.
“Gotta tell me where you want it.”
Fingers trailing along Alivian’s length, then...
Hmm.
Just the brush of his pinky against soft skin at the base of Alivian’s arousal. And god, is he warm. Hank goes back to slowly jerking around the head of his cock, but every few strokes he’ll touch again — that thicker part of Alivian.
He’s kind of putting two and two together, but Hank still has to ask: “You wanna tell me about this?”

His breath flutters a little against Hank's thumb, a little faster, a little uncertain.
He watches him keenly, hidden gaze flicking over Hank's entire being.
"Are you intending to?"
no subject
“You’re cute.”
Which is Hank’s way of saying ‘yes, I fucking intend to kiss you.’ So he does, leaning in to press his lips against Alivian’s. Trying to angle his chin back, not pushing forward too hard because he knows how much beards can scratch.
And some people are into that. Others, not so much. So Hank is being careful.
Slow.
Fingers trailing along Alivian’s jaw. Down the slope of his neck and over his shoulder.
“Real creative, huh?”
Which is good, because one of them has to be. Hank’s simple: he goes with the flow.
“Gimme your little... the clamps.” A whisper against the corner of Alivian’s mouth. “The pretty ones.”
no subject
Oh. Well then. So this is what kisses feel like. He tries to focus as his thoughts jitter, and in the process of seeking out more, he tips his face closer, a soft, pleased groan spilling out as he feels the scratch of his facial hair.
He partially follows Hank when they part, wanting more of it, but he stops himself in order to listen. All he does, however, is shiver at the caress down his neck, along his shoulder, some of the tension in his body relaxing away, a little.
"...Oh... certainly."
He manages to retrieve the clamps with a shaky hand, slipping them from his pocket and gently into Hank's hand. His touch lingers unnecessarily, but innocently.
"Here..."
no subject
Now Hank has the damn things, and he’s gotta use them. He rolls them around his palm, thumbing at the little gems.
“I gotta say: I’ve never done this before. The whole clamp thing. So if I fuck up...”
How hard can nipple clamps be, though? Really? Still, Hank offers an apologetic shrug.
“I figure it’s supposed to hurt — in a good way — but if it’s too much, say something.”
Hank really has no idea what he’s doing. Does he just... go for it? What would he like?
Hmm.
After tucking the clamps in his pocket, Hank raises a hand to Alivian’s chest. Palm flat against him, feeling his heat. Like a spark through his fingertips. Then he’s moving toward one of Alivian’s nipples, two fingers circling. Soft, slow.
“This okay?” he asks. Voice rough; a little gravelly.
no subject
He shivers as he's touched like this, his skin soft and probably about as warm as Sumo's fur, in actuality.
He regards Hank thoughtfully, feeling that careful touch, only for his breath to hitch as Hank starts to play with a nipple. He's familiar enough with this sort of self-stimulation, but it's entirely a different thing when it's someone else's touch....
It's also not enough. It doesn't produce much of a reaction from him at all.
"Harder, please?"
no subject
Hank sucks in a breath through his teeth when Alivian says ‘harder.’ And ‘please,’ both of which push so many buttons for Hank that his head is left spinning for a second.
But he needs to focus. Focus.
“Just figured it might be easier to get them on if you were, y’know.” He tightens his fingers around Alivian’s nipple, not quite pinching but rolling between his fingertips. “If you were hard.”
Now Hank is tugging a little, because god, he cannot help himself. Reaching for one of those damn clamps in his pocket, almost dropping it before he manages to raise it to Alivian’s chest. Squeezing it so the ends part just enough for him to slide onto Alivian’s nipple.
“How’s that?” His face is hot, scalding, as he brushes his thumb against the now clamped nipple. All pretty with its dangling jewel.
cw: character has a knot
The weight that felt like nothing in his hand weighs on his chest a lot more. It's surface area clamps evenly around it, giving a feeling of pressure rather than painful pinching. Touching it sends a shock straight to his cock.
Alivian growls lowly, the sound more beast than man, and nods slightly. If his ears weren't already red, they would be now. His fangs show themselves a little as he breathes briefly through his mouth, trying to calm down his own reaction, to tame some of the lust building between his legs.
He's not small in the slightest, and it shows with how his slightly too-tight pants cup basically every curve of it. Knot and all.
Without waiting for more, he throws his arms around Hank's neck with a strained huff, and tries to tug him in for another kiss. If permitted, his sharp fangs nip painlessly against Hank's lower lip.
no subject
“Jesus.”
This is all Hank manages to mutter before Alivian is pulling him in. Teeth biting at his lip, which makes Hank groan. He slips his leg between Alivian’s, arousal pressed against his thigh.
“This is really doin’ it for you, huh?”
Hank’s breathing heavily against his lips. One hand sliding down the slope of Alivian’s waist before he’s clumsily reaching for that second clamp in his pocket.
“Can’t blame you, really,” he says, rolling Alivian’s other nipple between his fingers. Waiting a little longer this time before he uses the clamp: to tease. But also because he likes feeling the way Alivian’s body responds to his touch; likes the sounds of his whines and growls.
Then, finally: pressing another kiss to Alivian’s mouth, tongue sliding along his lips, as he gets that second clamp on. Brushing his fingertips against Alivian’s nipple again, but this time he plays with the dangly bit, too.
All pretty like his eyes.
no subject
"Yes--"
He stifles a curse, groaning as his chest is played with anew. His breathing huffs, and he partly ducks his head to endure it, especially when the second clamp is applied. It hurts, of course, but it's nothing compared to his usual aches and pains. His cock throbs and strains, and he lets out a soft, keening whine as pleasure multiplies; that jewel weight isn't light, and it sends almost overwhelming shocks through him with every flick.
He still wonders what it would feel like if any of these clamps were put on his dick. Or the soft skin between tail and ass.
Having it on his knot wouldn't be pleasant, he's certain.
"Dear gods--"
His hips shake a little with it, and he shoves a hand to the front of his pants to open them up-- just in time for kisses again. His own efforts are awkward, but he kisses back, slightly long tongue pressing back to Hank's in an invitation to kiss deeper. With that touch, should he follow, Alivian clearly has four fangs in his possession - the pair on top larger than the ones on the bottom.
no subject
Alivian’s kisses feel so needy, so wanting, and it’s endearing how he brushes his lips along Hank’s beard. As if it isn’t off-putting.
Hmm.
He isn’t trying to torment him — much — but Hank still lets his fingers play with the dangling jewels. Gently making them sway, but with their weight, he supposes the gentle part doesn’t help much.
“You sure make a pretty picture, don’t you?”
Because he does. All flushed and needy — and Hank’s barely touched him, really.
He lets his tongue slide against Alivian’s. Slowly; a little in awe. This whole casino-slash-resort is strange, sure, and winning a pair of nipple clamps — still unused, alas — was yet another oddity added to the pile. But the intensity of the situation didn’t really hit till they entered the bathroom. Till they were alone with the mirrors and Alivian was throwing off his shirt.
Hank feels Alivian’s teeth when they kiss: the sharpness of his fangs. Could really do some damage those, if he wanted to. If he were a biting sort of guy.
Hmm.
Too soon, Hank pulls away. He kisses the corner of Alivian’s mouth before shifting to his side. Arousal pressing against Alivian’s hip as Hank wraps an arm around his waist.
“What d’you think of the mirror?” he asks, as if there aren’t a dozen or so. Hank doesn’t particularly enjoy the sight of himself leering over Alivian’s shoulder, but he can deal.
no subject
He decides not to try to correct Hank about him making a pretty picture or not.
"The mirrors--"
Fuck, he'd forgotten about them for a moment. He catches himself in one of them, and if Hank's other hand is still anywhere near his chest, the way his heartbeat races is no joke.
"It--- it might feel so good that I may die??!" he complains, not that he believes in the idea of dying from pleasure in the first place.
But with the way his head is tilted, he's definitely still noticing himself in the many mirrors.
That isn't to say he doesn't notice Hank's arousal against his hip. He does. Hesitantly at first, he reaches out to brush against that length against his body, curious and increasingly wanting.
"B-besides, there really isn't much to see...."
no subject
“Don’t go dying on me now. I’ve barely got to do anything yet.”
Hank says this with his lips pressed to Alivian’s neck, eyes closed. Still not wanting to see himself, but...
He opens his eyes. Staring into the mirror as he moves one hand down Alivian’s chest, palm flat against him.
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that. Wouldn’t say that at all,” he murmurs.
Rocking his hips against Alivian, feeling the way he’s pressing toward him. Hank bites back a groan, but barely.
“There’s lots to see, I think. And there can be more, too.”
He pauses. Looking at Alivian’s reflection: the flush of his skin. The way Hank’s fingers slide against him.
“If you tell me where you want me to put those other clamps, there’ll be lots to look at.”
no subject
Also, he isn't sure what to do with the compliments. If that's what they are. He's not sure....
"I--I was thinking my dick, but with how hard these are holding on, that... that might be a bad idea??"
His ears airplane. There's a downside to this angle - Hank only has to pull back a little to see the irregular scars on Alivian's upper back. But it's also an open view to see that there's a very thick lining of fur along his spine, reaching from the tops of his shoulder blades and reaching down past his pants, and, pretty clearly, all the way to that soft tail of his.
His musculature is also slightly more pronounced from behind.
"I don't.. want it to hurt more than it feels good, you know...?"
His face is still so bright red; he'd like to fall into a hole right now.
no subject
“They would look real pretty on your dick.”
Hank lets his hand slip lower, curling over Alivian’s. He watches their reflection in the mirror: the way his fingers appear to move so slowly, almost exaggeratedly. It’s not him, he swears. It’s the weird mirror.
Thumb brushing over Alivian’s knuckles now. Squeezing his hand, making him squeeze himself. Which makes a pretty picture in the mirror, in-fucking-deed.
“No, baby.” Hank presses what he hopes is a somewhat comforting kiss to Alivian’s neck. “Don’t want it to hurt too much. Wouldn’t do that to you.”
With his other hand, Hank trails up Alivian’s back. Fingers tapping, running along his skin: the slopes and curves of his muscles, then against the fur along his shoulders. Warm. Soft.
no subject
"Fuck--"
He squeezes Hank a little firmer, but gentle all the same, and then reaches for the front of his own pants, unzipping them to show the way his (admittedly, small and dainty, might as well be close to a ladies' thong in structure,) underwear is definitely not big enough to hold back his thick cock. The head strains against the front and leaves a wide gap between itself and the thin waist of his underwear, visibly wet with precum where it touches directly.
"...Still think I'm "baby" with a dick like this?"
Maybe his negative self-image is obvious there, oops.
no subject
“Hmm.” Hank licks his lips. Gazing into the mirror, expression almost drunken. “Suppose that depends on you.”
He reaches down to thumb the damp tip of Alivian’s cock. Underwear stretched all lewdly around him — underwear that Hank lets his fingers run along. Pulling back the fabric ever so slightly as a tease.
Resting his scruffy chin atop Alivian’s shoulder now, looking at their reflection again as he uses his other hand to reach around. Fingers on Alivian’s chin. Tilting his face up to meet Hank’s gaze in the mirror.
“D’you like the thought of being my baby?”
no subject
His cock twitches with it. With the touch to his dick that he presses his hips into.
"Maybe...? I don't dislike it..."
This is definitely different from the books he's read, but he's still struggling to catch his own stride in it.
"Sorry-- I'm... usually more assertive than this..."
He's not used to feeling so swept up....
no subject
“It’s okay. Sometimes it’s nice, not havin’ to be all assertive.”
Hank said he’d take it slow, and he meant it.
But.
Alivian’s cock is hard and wet and big, and Hank can’t help the way he circles the tip. Fingers dipping beneath his underwear to brush against him.
“It’s good to let go,” Hank murmurs. Not trying to goad Alivian into any particular mindset; he’s just being honest. And it’s hard, too — for Hank, anyway — to give someone else control.
His hand on Alivian’s chin reaches up, fingers brushing along his mouth.
“‘Least, that’s what I think.”
no subject
But when fingers brush along his mouth, he's suddenly in his element. His lips part at the touch, and he drags his slightly elongated tongue against those fingers, between two. He can't quite reach the gap between fingers, but it's closer than a human could; he still tries.
And as it is, he groans and licks those fingers like they've been touching somewhere tasty.
For now, he forgets about warning that he has a knot to contend with...
"More... touch..."
It feels... nice, to let himself get swept up in this. Still making eye contact through the mirrors.
no subject
“Yeah? Where do you want me to touch you?”
Hank asks this even as he’s pushing past that flimsy underwear, fist gripping Alivian’s cock. Stroking the head of him.
“Gotta tell me where you want it.”
Fingers trailing along Alivian’s length, then...
Hmm.
Just the brush of his pinky against soft skin at the base of Alivian’s arousal. And god, is he warm. Hank goes back to slowly jerking around the head of his cock, but every few strokes he’ll touch again — that thicker part of Alivian.
He’s kind of putting two and two together, but Hank still has to ask: “You wanna tell me about this?”
