Remi smiled faintly at his reflection in the black screen, that same soft expression from the mirror that morning returning. But before he could fully bask in the afterglow of his skincare stream, his phone buzzed.

Theo's name flashed across the screen.

Remi's heart gave that now-familiar little skip as he swiped to answer, settling back into his chair as the video call connected.

"Hey, Teddy," he greeted, his voice already warm.

Theo's face appeared on the screen and stole the breath right out of him.
He was leaning on a workbench in his garage, his white tank top damp with sweat, clinging in ways that made Remi's throat go dry. A cigarette lazily dangled from his lips, his dark hair slightly mussed. Those hooded eyes focused on him through the screen with that same calm intensity that somehow managed to feel like a physical touch.

"There's my pretty boy," Theo said, voice rough, a faint grin pulling at his mouth.

Remi flushed despite himself. "You really can't help saying that every time, can you?"

Theo chuckled softly, the sound sending a shiver through him. "Not when you answer looking like that. What've you been up to, sugar?"

Remi shifted in his chair, letting his robe fall just a little off his shoulder - though he couldn't tell if it was accidental anymore. "Just finished that live collab with Sophie-one of my friends. Went better than I thought. People loved it."

Theo gave a low whistle, adjusting his weight on his bench. "Course they did. You've got that... way of pulling people in. Bet Ash'll be proud when he hears."

At the mention of Ash, Remi smiled wider, the fondness obvious even through the little camera. "He texted me right after his meeting. Said he watched the last minute of the live, he said I did good."

Theo's eyes softened at that, the cigarette now between his fingers. "Y'all really are disgustingly cute sometimes, you know that?"

Remi grinned, the comment making his chest warm. "You like it. Don't even lie."

"Didn't say I didn't." Theo chuckled again, and the sound made Remi's stomach flutter - in that dangerous way it always seemed to around him.

They talked like that for a while - about his stream, about Ash's big presentation, about the Ferrari Theo was working on in the garage. Theo made some dry comment about spoiled rich car owners, and Remi laughed so hard he snorted, making Theo pause and just stare at him with something suspiciously close to awe before shaking his head with a faint smirk.

"You're ridiculous," Theo said, though his tone was full of affection.

Remi leaned his cheek into his hand, grinning so wide his face hurt. "Yeah, but you like that about me."

There was a beat, then Theo exhaled smoke with a small, honest laugh. "Yeah. Guess I do."

That quiet admission made Remi's chest feel full. It was dangerous how much he liked Theo so much already. And Ash... Ash liked him too. He'd seen the way Ash looked at Theo when he wasn't paying attention - curious, interested, open.

And God, if he let himself think about it too much... he'd start blushing like an idiot all over again.

Theo finally glanced over his shoulder at something in the garage and sighed, stubbing his cigarette out. "Break's over. I better get back to it before somebody decides to dock me for standing here talkin' to my favorite brat all day."

Remi pouted dramatically. "You're abandoning me?"

Theo grinned faintly, shaking his head. "Gonna make it up to you, sugar. Promise."

Remi rolled his eyes playfully but couldn't hide his smile. "Fine. Go fix your rich man's toy. I'm about to hit the bed anyway. That stream wore me out."

"You deserve your beauty sleep." Theo's eyes softened again, lingering on him through the screen before he finally murmured: "Later, Remi."

"Bye, Teddy," Remi said, biting his lip to keep his stupid smile in check as the screen went dark.

He set his phone aside and lay back on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

If he wasn't careful, he was going to fall hard for that man.

And something told him Ash wouldn't exactly mind.

Ashley came home tired from work, his shoulder slumped as he used his foot to pushed the front door close. The house was silent, unusually silent.

"Baby, I'm home." He yelled. Receiving nothing as response. He must be sleeping. He threw his bag on the couch along with the jacket, looking at the tempting blanket that was draped over it.

He could just fall asleep on it...

It smelled like Remi anyway.

The house smelled of Remi's infamous strawberry cookies, sweet and warm. Ashley's mouth watered as he wandered into the kitchen, where he found a stash of them cooling on the counter. He popped one into his mouth, then another. By the time he realized, he'd already eaten five.

He washed his sticky fingers, grinning faintly to himself.

Time to find my man.

He bounded up the stairs two at a time, exhaustion forgotten, and headed for their bedroom.

But when he opened the door...

...he froze.

What he saw stopped him in his tracks.

There was Remi - sprawled on the bed, a towel beneath him, his back arched as he rode a massive, glistening dildo. It disappeared and reappeared between his thighs, slick and obscene, each movement pulling a soft moan from his lips.

Ashley's breath caught in his throat.

"Remi..." he finally managed, voice low, rough.

Remi's head snapped up at the sound of his name, eyes wide and cheeks flushed deep red. But he didn't stop moving - not completely.

Ashley stood there, at the doorframe, heart pounding in his chest as their eyes locked.

Remi threw him a wicked grin, his palm laid flat on the bed as he rolled his hips and biting his lips hard.

Ashley closes the door behind him. Slowly. His eyes dark with desire.
Remi moans louder, legs moved unconsciously-he crosses the room watching every move of the dildo disappearing into Remi's slick hole.

Remi watched Ashley's slowly walk up to me, like a predator sizing up his prey. He threw his head pushing himself more on the dildo-taking every inch slowly and almost painfully, Ashley made it to the edge of the bed before he began to swell in his jeans.

Remi bit down on his lip, face flushed and damp with sweat, a soft gasp slipping past the bite the moment the tip of the dildo nudged something deep inside him. His thighs trembled as he lifted himself just slightly, only to slam back down harder, chasing that spot again.

"F-fuck... yes..." The words spilled from his lips like a desperate prayer, low and lewd, each syllable soaked in need. His gaze, though hazy and heavy-lidded, never left Ashley's. That daring, defiant look held him in place-intense and unspoken, thickening the air between them with nothing but raw want.

Ashley sat still on the edge of the bed, watching, drinking in the sight of his lover grinding and gasping on the toy, until something inside him snapped.

His hand shot out, gripping the dildo firmly to still Remi's hips. The sudden halt dragged a broken whimper from him, his body instinctively trying to keep moving. Ashley slowly pulled the toy out, eyes glued to the way Remi clenched around it. Then, with a sharp smack of his palm, he brought it down hard on Remi's ass, watching the flesh quiver and bloom red beneath his feral gaze.

Remi's voice broke into a strangled whine at the sting, his toes curling as heat shot up his spine.

Ashley moved onto the bed, kneeling behind him. His hands roamed possessively over Remi's flushed skin-tracing the curve of his back, skating down the backs of his trembling thighs, gliding up to his chest and shoulders as though memorizing every inch of him.

He pressed down between Remi's shoulder blades, forcing him to arch deeper, face pressed to the sheets, ass high in the air.

"Stay just like that," Ashley growled, his voice low and rough.

Remi obeyed without a word, his back curving into a perfect arch, his ass still tingling from the burn of Ashley's slap.

Another sharp strike landed, harder this time, the sound echoing in the room.

Remi yelped at the sudden shock, his whole body shuddering as pain and pleasure tangled in his veins like lightning. His cock throbbed helplessly between his legs, already dripping, already aching for more.

"Such a naughty boy," His voice came out deep and so in Ashley's hand rubbed on the two thick globes. He spread them apart, the pink wet hole gaping and winking at him, his thumb grazed the edge of Remi's hole, slick and needy. He watched it clench at nothing, desperate to be filled again. His breath hitched at the sight, his jeans uncomfortably tight now.

"You couldn't wait, huh?" Ashley murmured again, voice dripping with dominance as his fingers slid down the seam, collecting the slick that coated Remi's skin. "Riding this toy like a desperate little slut... while I was gone."

Remi whimpered, his fingers clutching at the sheets. "I-I missed you..."

Ashley let out a dark chuckle, picking up the dildo. He ran the tip of it slowly between Remi's cheeks, teasing the sensitive rim. Not pressing in, just... gliding over it, slicking it further.

Remi's hips bucked back instinctively, but Ashley's free hand came down hard on his ass, making him yelp.

"Don't you dare. You don't take what isn't given." Ashley growled, the sound reverberating against Remi's flushed skin. "You wanna be good, don't you? Then beg."

Remi's toes curled into the sheets. He was trembling now, head turning to glance back at Ashley with glassy eyes.

"Please..." he gasped out, breathless.

"Please what?" Ashley dragged the dildo's tip in a slow, maddening circle around his hole. Just barely dipping in before pulling it away again.

"Please... p-put it in..." Remi's voice broke into a needy whine, his body quivering as he tried to push back again.

Ashley smirked darkly. "That's better. But not good enough."

Remi's fingers gripped the sheets tighter, his hips pressing up toward him instinctively. "Please, Ash-fuck-please, fill me up... I can't-I need it so bad..."

That finally earned a satisfied hum from Ashley.

"Good boy."
