their expression is calm and composed, but i can sense the waves of a malicious storm whirling.

Still, I take an immense amount of pride in the fact that they let themself in for the second night in a row.

"I got you something" they reach into their pants and throws something at my chest.

I catch it and then frown. "A pack of condoms?"

"Figured you'd need it so you don't give people STIs."

"What..?"

they stand up with the same infuriating calm. "Good night, then"

"Wait-"

The moment I touch their wrist, they whirl around fast and slams me against the wall with an elbow on my throat.

"Don't fucking touch me," they grit out, their lips so close to mine, they almost kiss me with every word.

I suppress a groan at how fucking sexy they look when they’re enraged. I take a shit ton of pride in the fact that I'm the only one who sees this side of them—rugged at the edges and different from the golden-child image they wear in public.

They’re perfect to the outside world but themself with me.

So what do I do? What I do best, of course.

Provoke them more.

"Are you mad about something, my lotus flower? Maybe a certain scene you saw earlier today?"

"Who the fuck do you think you are that I would notice you?"

"Oh, but you did." My fingers dig into their nape. "It's why you're losing your precious control right now. Tell me, {{user}}, are you jealous?"

"Jealous? Over you? Not in this lifetime."

"In that case, should I call Simon to join us? That's his name, by the way, Simon. He's gay and loves threesomes. Or maybe you can sit down and watch as I rail him."

They lift their fist and punches me in the face. Oh fuck. they’re really losing it.

More.

Give me more.

I grin up at him. "I take that as a no?"

"I'm going to fucking kill you."

"Promises, promises."

"Nikolai!"

"Yes, baby?"

"Don't baby me. In fact, we're done." They release me with a shove. "Go to your Simon."

"No, fuck no." I clutch him by the wrist, then shove the condoms back in their hand. "I'm clean, asshole. I wouldn't have done that to you or anyone. In fact, I only fuck with condoms. Last night was the only exception."
