Soft. Warm. Cozy.
The beep of the Watch is gentle, a considerately low sound when rousing newly arrived wildcards while a small vibration tickles the wrist. Satin sheets slide with the lazy stretch of legs. Bedding shuffles. The room is a comfortable temperature but … for some reason, it’s maybe a touch too warm? And cramped?
As characters rouse from their slumber (or otherwise blink into awareness) they will find that they are now in a shitty resort room. They have been temporarily allocated a rank 2 suite. These suites are small and the twin bed takes up the majority of the space inside. Walkable area is minuscule. There is no decor or window. All characters are naked, wearing only a white terrycloth robe knotted at the waist. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
But perhaps that’s not the most alarming part.
They’re not alone.
All characters will find themselves waking up in pairs. Not only have they woken up in an entirely unknown place, they are pressed up against and/or are cuddling what may potentially be a total stranger. Even if a pair is lucky enough to know one other ... pretty awkward waking up together like this, isn't it?
Due to holiday overbooking all characters are required to share a room while the backlog of reservations are processed. Some of these rank 2 suites may even have three temporary residents if you’re feeling spicy.
The resort is truly sorry that they overbooked during the holiday season. This is unprecedented. They have never before seen the house bring in so many new guests at once. Without even a heads up for the staff. It’s like being middle management isn’t worth it! For the sake of avoiding headaches and customer complaints, wildcards will find that each room has an included a gift basket as an apology for the inconvenience.
Wildcards that explore outside will find staff running around like frenzied hens. These employees will encourage wildcards to go wash up in the bathroom, a communal space with plenty of free supplies for newcomers. The communal bathroom is a clean area with multiple open showers, sinks, and water closets. Wildcards will find shelves stocked with basic toiletries and clean towels. They will also find other general bathroom amenities available for use like hair dryers, face masks, scrub brushes, combs, razors, toothbrushes, q-tips, and so on.
All facilities inside the communal bathroom aside from the toilets are open concept and there is no separation based on gender (or anything else). Everyone is expected to share.
Some of the staff will pity these poor new guests that have had their reservations pushed out. They will show characters the way to one of the small supply closets that are used by cleaning staff. The closet is small but fully stocked with linens, extra toiletries, pillows, robes, slippers, and yellow Golden Peacock tracksuits in a full range of sizes. They will encourage wildcards to take whatever they want before running off again.
But those that aren’t careful might find themselves in an interesting predicament.
Wildcards will find that the hallways of the basement are chilly and narrow. Heading to the end of the hallway will reveal a stairwell where they can ascend to check out the main resort. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

ODDS
ODDS
A bird cries in the distance. Water beads trickle down chilled flesh. Itch itch itch—something pokes your bare ass.
The beep of the Watch is as gentle as it was for the new arrivals that didn’t wake up on the cold hard ground but the sound blends into the rustle of leaves and the gurgle of the river. Unlike their luckier colleagues, some wildcards have unexpectedly woken up in the middle of lush vegetation. Oops! That was a miscalculation. No details are given other than the above message and a follow-up message explaining GAME 52.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale will be completely naked and without a resort robe to cover up. Lost amid thick bushes, mushroom clusters, and towering trees, it doesn't feel like they're in a resort at all. Isn't this a rainforest? By all accounts, this is a rainforest.
Those that wake in the Vale will have to make their way through the rainforest to find the exit. Really, so unexpected! This was not what we had in our system at all. It must be overloaded from high demand. Our apologies. Please don't complain.
Laughter rings throughout the forest. Footsteps echo. Branches snap. There are other people around aside from you naked newbies. If eavesdropped upon, wildcards may pick up on what these guests are cawing about. It sounds like they’re playing some kind of game.
Wildcards that wake up in the Vale may unwittingly stumble into one of the resort’s popular roleplaying games: Sexy Hunter 💕 and 💕 Sexier Prey.
There are numerous booby traps set around the forest. The goal of the game is to trap your prey and take them home for kinky fun and these guests weren't expecting newbies to suddenly drop in! The traps won’t hurt anyone but they will put them in some embarrassing positions.
After braving the elements and surviving booby traps, these wildcards may finally find civilization. The lounge pagoda where many of the long-standing guests are hanging out and enjoying drinks is comfortable and connected to a bathroom where characters can themselves clean up. In contrast to the naked muddy wildcards, the guests on the pagoda are dressed in trendy and elaborate clothing.
They stare at the newly arrived nude wildcards before breaking into shouts of glee and approval.
“Yes, brilliant idea, it’s a naked party! Whoohoo! Come on everyone. Take your clothes off. All of them! Naked party, naked party, naked party!”
These NPCs will shed their clothing and begin to skinnydip in the pools and river. They will chase each other—and wildcards! Wildcards will find themselves surrounded by an orgy. They will encourage wildcards to join in on the fun and offer them food and drink to get into the mood.
Wildcards will find the exit out to the central hub and elevator bank behind the pagoda. Welcome to the Golden Peacock!

MAIN LOBBY
MAIN LOBBY
The Peacock is buzzing with excitement! The massive main lobby is especially spectacular with golden streamers, dazzling lanterns, glittering ornaments, and cheerful music. There doesn’t seem to be one particular holiday being celebrated with the general theme being winter and holiday. An amalgamate like this resort simply couldn’t select one thing and had to go for everything (more is always better). The hallways and aisles are packed with streams of guests in ostentatious outfits. One can’t swing a cat without hitting someone*.
*No cats were harmed in the making of this TDM. We love cats.
There are sprigs of mistletoe above many of the hallways and doors. Surprisingly, the mistletoe have no supernatural abilities whatsoever, but guests that spy two people beneath the mistletoe together will point and demand they kiss. It’s tradition. Don’t be a downer during the festive season. Succumb to the peer pressure.
Hallways are also decorated with vases of poinsettia flowers. Nothing is amiss about these flowers during day hours, but during late night hours they will pick themselves up and trade vases with each other.
They are polite flowers and try to change when there are no guests around but don’t always manage to do it discreetly. Wildcards may notice something gold glinting in the roots of the scrambling poinsettias. Wildcards who manage to grab these flowers and comb through their roots can collect a simple gold ring (along with shivers of, iyaaaa, we just met, so bold).
Birdbucks is likewise getting into the winter spirit. Despite there being no weather in the resort they are offering seasonal hot drinks! Prices aren’t any cheaper than usual but the quality is better than their standard coffee. They are offering four new delicious new flavors: Buttered Honey Rum Coffee, Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Cinnamon Latte, and Rainbow Cookie Cappuccino.
These drinks won’t do anything other than make one wired from all the caffeine, but guests are encouraged to enjoy them around one of the fireplaces set up throughout the main hallways. Many people are snuggling up to the fire while nursing a Birdbucks drink and telling stories. A great way to get to know your fellow guests! Each fireplace is surrounded with festive cushions, beanbags, pillows, and blankets.
"Have you all heard about the Peacock’s annual wish tradition? No? I’m an old-timer around here, let me tell you … see those little jars hanging amongst the lights? You’re supposed to write down your heart’s desire on a piece of paper and stick it into the jar. Then, take a match and light it on fire. They say if you do that you’ll get your desire within the next 12 months. Me? I’m wishing for an older babe, a high rank babe, to become my sugar momma… what, doing it together with someone? Sure. They say that if you do it with someone you’ll have a fated connection forevermore. So don’t do it with someone you don’t like, hah!"
Wildcards will find that that loud guest isn’t lying. Many small glass jars hang alongside the fairy lights and there are multiple tables with paper, pens, and matches.
Guests are scribbling down their desires and stuffing them into the jars, watching with glee as the lit paper crumbles to ash. Couples who put their desires in the same jar are said to have a fated connection forever after so many couples can be found following the tradition. Nothing happens right away ... but who knows? It may prove to be true later.

RED CARDINAL
RED CARDINAL
Those looking to escape from the crowds will find respite in Red Cardinal. Despite being busier than usual, this particular bar remains serene with guests calmly enjoying food and drink. The decorations are minimal with a few red hanging paper lanterns. The proprietress, a handsome woman in her forties, works the bar while watching all guests with an eagle eye. Guests can be loud and out of control in the hallways; they aren’t going to behave that way in her bar.
Due to limited space, all wildcards that come alone looking for a meal will be seated at a two-top table with another wildcard. The menu for the holiday season is preset. All dishes are cooked by the proprietress's own hands, so the aroma has the comforting spice of homemade. She fully expects these wildcards to eat every single morsel. To leave any dish with scraps would offend her.
"Full? What do you mean, full? Look at you. You're so thin! Eat up, don't leave anything behind. Is my food not good enough? What's wrong with it?"
Guests that do not manage to finish the entire holiday spread will be bullied into washing dishes in the kitchen. The amount of dishes to be washed is massive. There is no dishwasher so it must all be done by hand. Wildcards sent to kitchen duty will not be allowed to leave until every dish is scrubbed clean. It's the least they can do after insulting her cooking by leaving food on the plate.
Guests that decide to skip the food and set up at the bar will find dozens of sealed wine jars. The proprietress will share that these wines are her personal make that she only offers once a year. She has not labeled the effects of these wines for her own personal amusement. Guests who wish to purchase a jug must select one based on the name written label, without knowing what may have been added into the mix.
Red Cardinal has all the other usual options as well. They carry basic spirits, beer, and other no-fuss drinks. Characters may also order small bar snacks like nuts and chips.
All jugs have a high APV. Drink too much and you may end up sleeping on the floor of the bar!

LOVE DOVE
LOVE DOVE
Love Dove, the resort's largest department store, is running a massive end of the year sale. All items are between 50% - 70% off, which is a massive bargain for those that are tight on chips!
Stepping inside will transport you away from the busy crowds of the main hallways and into several floors of retail magic. Not wanting to be outdone by competitors, Love Dove has pulled out all the stops to impress during the festive season with massive decorations and mannequin set-ups. Large bows and ribbons, boxes done up in shiny paper, trees and candelabras, sparkles sparkles sparkles. There are also several tables set up around the store offering complimentary glasses of wine and chocolate covered strawberries.
Characters will find a section for every kink imaginable in the store. Gaze in wonder upon the wall of strap-ons. Marvel at the wide shade range of the silicone penises. Bask the rainbow of silky lingerie—for both women and men. There are gadgets and gizmos a-plenty, including some design oddities of Love Dove’s own creation that wildcards may never have seen before. The store even has staged areas for guests to try out some of the more elaborate equipment before buying. While it is not encouraged to use anything insertable before buying for hygienic reasons, guests can turn display toys on to test vibration strength and suction power.
Despite being a sex department store, Love Dove also has several departments dedicated to regular clothing and undergarments. Characters will find decent basics like t-shirts, sweatpants, underwear, jackets, jeans, skirts, shoes, and dresses for slashed prices. Don't miss these deals! The sale ends when the winter festivities end.
At the front of the store there is a temporary section with an elaborate display. Wildcards will find Love Dove promoting masks and feathered costumes. They will hand out fliers inviting all guests the holiday masquerade. Drinks! Food! Dancing! A night that you surely won't forget! New guests simply cannot miss this party. Anyone who is anybody is going to be there.
All those who plan attend the masquerade are required to dress up. In the spirit of the season Love Dove is offering especially good sales on these elaborate costumes. For those with simpler tastes, there are also ballgowns and tuxedos in various prints and colors. The most important article is, of course, the mask.
Staff will encourage wildcards to pay particular attention in choosing a mask that resonates with them.
Masks with effects may be purchased and worn in any of the masquerade prompts.

LOVE DOVE (AT NIGHT)
LOVE DOVE ... AT NIGHT
For all the joy that comes with celebrating the holidays, the jubilant atmosphere can evoke loneliness in one's heart. There are many different kinds of loneliness. The melencholy of missing someone that's died. Sorrow from being parted from your family. The ache of watching the one you love celebrating with someone else. The mourning of being left behind by a friend. These feelings are fleeting in the resort—luxury and hedonism are great distractions—but where do they go after that?
Right now they're manifesting in the sex toys.
Guests browsing Love Dove during night hours will find that some of the sex toys have been possessed by residual loneliness.
Loneliness is a powerful force and it has granted the toys the power to act on their own. Guests had better watch out—as brainless tools gifted a sense of autonomy, all they know to do is fulfill their function.
The sex toys are low level and easy to fight off but please note the you break it you buy it signs posted all over the store. Can you afford to go all out, even with the current deals?

CASINO FLOOR
CASINO FLOOR
The Phoenix Casino has been transformed into a winter wonderland. Trademark royal blue has been replaced by shades of gold and white with pops of bright red lanterns. Guests in elaborate masks and costumes mesh together and then part, reveling in pretending to be someone else for a little while.
All have dressed to impress, sparing no expense in dripping themselves in precious gems and metals. Some of the guests are treated like gods—these are the royal rank guests and the difference in treatment from the rest of the crowd is palpable. These dazzling celebrities take up much of the spotlight, laughing loudly at card tables and shooing away anyone too low of a rank to breathe their air. They don't bother to hide their identities. Why, when they have the best of everything?
There are several game tables set up where crowds are playing and betting. Wildcards are encouraged to join in on the fun and given some grace from social judgement because they have no official rank yet. Some wildcards may even find guests making eyes at them over the table. After all, who knows if the house has been watching and decided that they’re a favorite? Today’s wildcard can be tomorrow’s new 10 rank.
Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!

Wildcards may participate in dice games, card games, and roulette in the main casino. Most other typical casino games have been shelved in favor of the special events in private game rooms.
The buffet is massive and decadent. Dishes like lobster and caviar, cuts of filet mignon, kobe beef with white truffles, oysters chilling on real diamonds, bluefin tuna, matsutake mushrooms, pule cheese, and so on. The dessert table is likewise exorbitant with elvish honey cakes, black watermelon, macarons, petit fours, chocolates, eclairs, tarts, soufflé, and flan all sprinkled in edible gold flakes. Dishes may contain aphrodisiac at player discretion.
The bar isn’t lacking either. The resort has created three specialty cocktails for the masquerade. While regular cocktails and spirits are available, staff will encourage guests to give these limited time drinks a try.
Wildcards and long-standing guests aren’t the only ones in attendance. Phantom hands have crashed the party and are phasing through the casino. To be fair, they’re always in the casino. It isn’t crashing if it’s their stomping grounds, right?
The phantom hands are mischievous and in the mood to get into trouble. They will be pinching the waists and asses of guests, tugging on clothes, knocking over glasses, and generally be a nuisance. Their favorite trick is to pin the blame for their crimes on someone else. If they’re not careful, wildcards may be the target or the scapegoat for some of these pranks!
GAME ROOMS
GAME ROOMS
The resort has arranged for four special events during the masquerade. These events take place in private rooms away from the bustle of the main party. There is no advertising about what is in each room and many guests are swept into the momentum. Highly trained staff tending to the door will be quick in prepping wildcards who wander in, giving them little time to realize what exactly they’ve stumbled into before it begins.

[Alright— all things considered, "I can be your little secret" was not the first thing Lorenz expected in return for his hasty explanation of The Expectations of the Peerage. His immediate reaction is manifold: there's the prissy noble part of him that would squawk indignantly about how he, Lorenz Hellman Gloucester! would not have little secrets; that part is buffeted by the part of him that finds it rather thrilling to hear that, actually; and both of those fizzle out, momentarily forgotten in the rush of being embraced again.
He'll loop back around. In a bit. A fresh flush of heat blooms in his cheeks but he melts into it all the same, curling his fingers into Wriothesley's hair and letting him deepen the kiss as he pleases. Would that all things were as plainly enjoyable as this, warm mouth and the press of hands, almost dizzying in how quickly they keep going between this and conversation. From the enraptured little groan that escapes him, one could even assume Lorenz has forgotten about the, mm, topic at hand.
He hasn't. But in the space he takes to breathe he glances down at the dice, then back up at Wriothesley, does one hasty pursed-lips mental calculation and then ducks back in for another kiss. There's more heat behind it than before, as if now he's added breaking the rules of this dice game to his list of things to overthink (he may have done this exactly). Ah, is this the elusive "more fun"...
Murmured, then, separating only far enough to speak against his lips,] I do appreciate your discretion. But even so, I'm hardly the sole arbiter of... this. You needn't worry that much about placating me.
[Or: surely this exchange needn't revolve around his anxieties. Ahem.]
no subject
He instinctively tugs the other closer, relishing the warmth of another flushed against him.
The boxer lets out a breathless laugh.] Is that so... [A few fingers trail up Lorenz's arm until he rests his hand on their shoulder. He tilts his head as he glances at the abandoned dice before looking at the other.] Then let's say we stop playing around with the dice. There's no need to keep rolling them when it seems we both know what we want going forward.
[Of course, he could be reading it all wrong and about to make himself look like a fool.]
no subject
When he looks up again his eyes are that much brighter, lit by a pleased smile.]
Yes, let's do away with the confines of this game. The damnable dice are so...
[Disruptive? Awkward, frankly, in a way he simply does not need on top of, well--his already addressed awkward pauses? Any of that will do.]
I daresay they've outlived their usefulness.
[This as he leans back in to catch him in another kiss, lips already parted to seek the heat of his companion's mouth. Much better without worrying about the dice, indeed; he looses his grip on Wriothesley's hair to trail his hands down towards his hips, keeping them fit snugly together.
Hmm. Perhaps... another pause to speak, punctuated by a kiss pressed to the corner of his mouth,] Shall we sit?
no subject
He lets out a pleased laugh.] Right. There's no need for such a game any longer.
[He snakes his arms around the other as they reunite for another kiss. He can feel heat spread through his body as the two of them seem to refuse to separate.
He keeps his face close to Lorenz' own, their breath mingling.] Lead away then. [He doesn't hesitate to lean forward to capture the man's lips again.]
no subject
So, he can kiss and walk at the same time, using his hands on the other man's hips to steer them both towards the nearest piece of furniture in here besides the side table they've been using for dice, a cushy loveseat. He hums against Wriothesley's mouth, letting go with one hand to feel around for the arm of the seat.
There; he sinks down into it, curling fingers into the front of Wriothesley's clothes to keep them as close as possible. With a satisfied hum he tilts his head to kiss down to Wriothesley's jaw, then towards his neck.]
Look at you— you're a work of art.
no subject
He arches his back with a groan and he tilts his head as though to offer more of his neck for the other to do as they please.]
Flattery will get you very far with me. Careful, I might swoon if you keep that up.
no subject
Flattery is the play, is it--]
How could I possibly refrain from sharing just how captivating you are? Call it flattery if you want, but I speak from a place of pure honesty!
[This is part and parcel now of getting him to loosen up... Enjoy it. He winds his arms around Wriothesley's waist and cranes up for another deep kiss.]
no subject
How sweet. I should at least reward you for it.
[It doesn't matter to him how far things go. If Lorenz was going to ensnare him with honeyed words, he should give a little show for their efforts.
As he tilts his head down to meet the other halfway for another passionate kiss, his hands leave Lorenz' shoulders so he can start unbuttoning his waistcoat and let it fall to the floor behind him.]
no subject
Nicer still for a reward, which makes him laugh lightly against Wriothesley's lips, a touch surprised. He moves his hands out of the way just long enough for the other man to shuck off his waistcoat, unable to help the flush of color that rises in his cheeks over the simple removal of just one article of clothing. Truly, so intimate...]
Ahaha— my, you are a sight to behold!
[Look out or he'll start saying more things about art again. He runs his fingers up Wriothesley's sides, light and questing for some kind of explicit go-ahead now that there are more clothes coming off. Just a little direction, perhaps, although not like those silly dice... And another kiss, sweeter than the last.]
no subject
You really do know how to make a guy feel special.
[The next time he speaks, his voice comes out low and husky. He leans back a little, his hands bracing themselves on Lorenz's legs.] So why don't you unwrap your reward already? [He was letting the other undress him. Maybe he wants to see if the other will or if that was too much for the gentleman in front of him.]
no subject
But is that more unnecessary holding back, he wonders, lips pursed in a moment of consideration.
Yes it is, it doesn'ttake long to decide, and that won't do, so he reaches up to get to work unwrapping - shirt buttons first, thin fingers quick and precise. He's efficient when it comes to shedding layers, as it's the style he always wears.]
Are you certain? About this? [about letting him do this, ahem,] Much as you are a stunning vision, I would hate to be... selfish.
no subject
Certain? I'm sitting on your lap. [He emphasizes this by grinding his hips down into Lorenz' lap.] Aren't moments like these when you should be the most selfish? Wanting to act on desires and whims.
[He leans forward so their mouths are just moments apart from a kiss.] Am I not a very willing participant right now?
no subject
I believe you, I do— [The grind of his hips is hard to argue with,] I merely... hm. I don't doubt your enthusiasm, or mine, but I am... unaccustomed to taking what I want, in the moment.
[His blush has creeped up the back of his neck, all the way to his ears, but he'll just have to endure it as he ducks down to kiss Wriothesley's neck again. Down and down, following a scar, with a murmur:]
Shall I endeavor to speak selfishly, then? I will have as much of you as you would give me. All of you, perhaps...?
[He glances up from his ministrations, completely earnest. This is the Polite Noble's selfish request style.]
no subject
Well, this is a blanket permission to take what you want, sweetheart.
[He shivers a little as he feels Lorenz' mouth on his neck again. His scars have always been pretty sensitive and having them lavished with attention is definitely doing wonders for his enjoyment. He tilts his head so the other can access as much skin as possible.]
I can't say no when you ask so sweetly. Consider me charmed. Seduced. Whatever you want to call it. [He's so doomed. He's weak and Lorenz is being awfully adorable. Wriothesley licks his lips as he rolls his hips again.] Go ahead. Have your fill of everything then. Go on.
no subject
Wriothesley's multilayered encouragement makes him light up again, a flash of relief (there's always a chance he'll say the wrong thing; the sting of rejection, too, looms in the distance) that gives way to a satisfied smile. He's not even usually that keen on being called terms like sweetheart, but as Wriothesley is so very charmed-seduced-whatever, he'll make an exception.
He braces his hands on the other man's thighs, squeezing, pressure sliding back up towards his hips.]
Then I must ask you to stand for a moment and remove these. [He drums his fingers for emphasis. Yes? This, too, is still acceptable?] My most very selfish desire is to know how you prefer to be touched.
no subject
Because he wants this.
He gets up from Lorenz' lap after placing a quick, chaste kiss to their lips.] I'll get rid of these, but you're also much too dressed for my tastes. Surely you are willing to let me see a bit more? [He asks sweetly and in a way that seems to really offer the other to refuse if they truly don't want to. He unbuttons his pants and pulls the zipper down before letting them pool at his feet. He was already half hard from grinding against the other.]
Mm, I like to be able to feel it the next day. A nice little ache to wake up to is pleasant. [Like a really good workout.]
I haven't really thought about it. I enjoy myself when my partner is enjoying themselves. [He has always had his partner's pleasure in the forefront of his mind that his own desires become somewhat secondary. It just so happens that he really quite enjoys pleasing his partners.]
oh yeah this is the official nsfw warning, lol
Much better than what he expected of this whole place - the most pleasant surprise by far. He sits a bit straighter, hands going to the shirt buttons at his throat while he gives Wriothesley an appraising look up and down, one eyebrow quirked appreciatively. Goddess, but he's practically sculpted out of marble...]
Oh, aha— then I will relish the opportunity to most thoroughly help you think about it. A helping hand does a body good. [ha ha.] No need to rush the important matters.
[He gets to his feet in turn, letting his silky shirt slide off his shoulders and fall on the seat behind him. He's slim and pale all the way down, with the subtler muscle tone of someone who rides a lot of horses and throws a lot of lances around. And he will definitely get back to undressing in a moment, but first he'd like another kiss, and to slot his still-clothed thigh between Wriothesley's and rock against him indulgently.
He can do this and unbutton his pants at the same time, absolutely—]
smut game head empty LOL
The best part is the exploration, don't you think? [His voice comes out low like a purr.] Seeing what makes the other go crazy by your own hands. Learning each other's bodies. I find it enjoyable at the very least.
[Wriothesley doesn't hesitate to let his hands wander over exposed skin. His hands rest on the man's hips before wandering up sides and trailing fingers over the smooth expanse of skin on their back. The man's skin was smooth under calloused fingers and the boxer seemed intent to touch every inch of it and commit the man's body to memory. He hums appreciatively before it turns into a groan. He can't help but grind down onto Lorenz' thigh as they kiss again, eyes fluttering closed.
The kiss is a little more desperate than previously. A little more aggressive as he catches Lorenz' bottom lip with his teeth and sucks on it.]
so it goes!!
So please, learn away. Education is very important, he thinks.]
Allow me to make a suggestion...
[That is to say, reach back with one hand to encourage Wriothesley explore lower still, because Lorenz, at least, has thought about how he would like to be touched. Not like a thing made of glass, certainly, so the kiss pulls a low sound out of him, pleased and a little hungry, pressing more insistently between his thighs when he rolls his hips again.
Mm, and again, because each groan Wriothesley makes is its own reward just as arousing as the solid heat of him, and mercy, but Lorenz is distracted from his own pants all over again. Now he fumbles with a touch more haste, to get his pants down over his hips, and pause (for the anxiety spectres, of course), and let them drop to the floor. Feel free to admire his legs, he puts a lot of work into those too--
With a hum he fits their hips together once more, sliding a hand over the curve of Wriothesley's ass and giving it an approving squeeze, hm yes, quite nice...]
What do you think? [About how he wants to be touched, this means, but it could definitely apply to a few things at the moment.]
no subject
Wriothesley deepens the kiss, wanting to taste the other on his tongue. To steal the other's breath as his own.
As soon as Lorenz' pants join his, he's quick to slink his hands passed the waistband of his undergarments so he can let his hands roam.] Is this what you wanted? [His voice comes out husky with a playful grin.
He starts to press kisses down Lorenz' jaw and traveling towards his neck; teeth grazing against skin. Not quite biting. Almost like he's waiting for the right time to sink his teeth down.]
It's a good start. [He whispers against the smooth skin of his throat.] You could be a bit bolder.
no subject
With a breathy laugh he says,] Since you took your first roll of the dice, yes, a dozen times yes.
[What can he say, he's a sucker for a gorgeous face and a heroic rescue; Wriothesley being patient and kind and built like a work of art are all bonuses. Bolder, though, how to be bolder... He's not sure he knows how to be bolder on command, mmm,]
Perhaps I should take another chance on those dice, myself. [Haha, no. Maybe. No, definitely not, this is a joke. No more dice.
Sliding one hand up to curl into Wriothesley's hair and keep him there doing that very compelling thing with his teeth, Lorenz slips his other hand between them, nimbly slipping past undergarments to wrap his fingers around the length of his cock and stroke him slowly. He's reveling a bit in being able to do this at all, the plain delight of intimacy. He may be bold in smaller steps than Wriothesley is used to, it seems - but the desire is there, clear as day.
.......And okay one more bit about the dice,] That silly game seems rather, mm- inadequate, now.
no subject
[He probably wouldn't have. The dice game, he thought, was enjoyable in its own way. He got to see the other slowly unravel. Slowly want more than what a pair of dice with predetermined options could give them. Wriothesley hopes that it entices them with the thought that they could be even farther along than where they were now.]
Do you really want that right now? [Right after he asks, he sinks his teeth into the junction of man's neck. Not enough to draw blood, but definitely to leave a mark. He then soothes it with his tongue. Wriothesley doesn't get to admire the mark he leaves though because Lorenz wraps their fingers around his hardened length and he can't help but groan. He cants his hips with Lorenz' strokes as though to encourage the other to keep going. He had a sizable cock; decent length and thick.]
I can't complain. [His voice comes out low and husky.] We wouldn't be here without it.
no subject
[Still: he was rescued from the inevitable harassment of staying out in that game room, so it was a done deal that he would at least be charmed. Maybe the dice did help— he can think they're a bit silly anyway. After all, not once did they manage to roll bite neck firmly enough to absolutely leave a mark; a shudder runs through him from the sharpness of it, stinging in the best kind of way. He tilts his head to keep the sleek curtain of his hair out of the way, giving Wriothesley all the space he needs to leave any marks he would like. Lorenz already enjoys a high collar; he isn't going to complain.]
That... may be true. [He kind of just doesn't want to give the dice any credit!! But fine, fine, yes. They Contributed.] To a point.
[A small point, anyway— More important than the abandoned dice is Wriothesley himself; Lorenz hums low in his ear and palms down the length of his cock, unhurried, though not to tease — he meant it about wanting to know how the other man likes to be touched, so what better way to find out than to explore. And there is plenty to explore, such that he feels the need to shift and look down between them to see as well as feel, hm, goodness—
The way he reacts to just a touch is sweet, though; Lorenz turns his head just so to press a kiss against his temple, even more utterly charmed, quickening the pace of his strokes. And he is going to keep talking, he can't resist:]
I was correct in my compliments, earlier— every inch of you is simply stunning. [mmmm--] And- aha- you have quite the bite.
That is to say, if you would... [just go to town on him, ahem.]
no subject
Lorenz' attempts to give the dice as little credit as possible is certainly amusing to him. He chuckles against the smooth skin in front of him before sinking his teeth down again before sucking at the spot he just bit. Lorenz seemed to enjoy the first bite so who is he to deny leaving more?
Wriothesley is noisy. Either he just doesn't know how to shut up or is purposely noisy to encourage and rile Lorenz up. He lets out breathy moans and whispers for more. He presses closer to the other and tries to grind against them for more of that sweet friction as he leaves more and more bites and hickeys for the other to admire in the mirror later. So that he can admire them later.] Sorry. [He isn't sorry. Not when he's dragging enamel over the skin of one of Lorenz' shoulder.]
You could say that I like seeing my work after everything is done and said. [A little possessive. He knows they aren't dating or anything, but he can still appreciate knowing the other would be walking around with bruises he left for days to come.]
no subject
He runs his free hand down Wriothesley's back, dragging his perfectly manicured nails against warm skin, pressing in harder when he reaches his hip. The trails of his nails won't leave marks that last nearly as long as the bruises on his neck and throat, but for now it's just as well. Ultimately he tugs at the other man's hip, taking one small step back; shall they return to the loveseat? To tangle limbs and bodies together would be delightful, more and more—]
How repentant, [he murmurs, lightly teasing; yeah, he can tell Wriothesley isn't all that sorry about the marks. He grips his cock more firmly, stroking quick and even and slotting his thigh between Wriothesley's again for some additional surface to rock against. His own arousal is more than evident by now, breath hitching at what friction his cock gets but without pushing for any more. Not yet, anyway; it's the sweet, sweet delight of Wriothesley taking pleasure from him that's getting him going right this second. The sting of bruises, the heat of skin on skin, the ache of his arousal— yeah, this is really doing it for him.]
You'll certainly be able to admire your work for a number of days, I imagine. [He hasn't even seen it yet, but based on how it feels? Mmph.] Just as I will be reminded of you and your lovely mouth, in my private moments...
