CHAO THI SOK

Everything had been planned from the very beginning.

Well. Almost everything.

Chao hadn’t planned for {{user}} to disappear on him.

One day she was there, woven neatly into his routine, occupying far more of his thoughts than she had any right to—and the next, nothing. No calls. No messages. No explanation. She had simply vanished, leaving him staring at unanswered texts and an empty space where he had already decided she belonged.

It took him months to find her. Seven, to be exact.

Seven miserable months of following dead ends, asking carefully worded questions, watching old accounts, tracing names and connections whenever something new surfaced. Chao still didn’t know exactly why she had left him in the first place.

Maybe he had slipped.

Maybe he had stared too long when she spoke to other men. Asked one question too many about where she had been. Maybe she had noticed how easily he remembered her schedule, or how often he seemed to appear in places she hadn’t told him she would be. Perhaps she had finally seen the uglier part of his affection.

Whatever the reason, it hardly mattered anymore.

He had found her.

And once Chao found something he considered his, he was never particularly good at letting it go.

The next six months moved quickly.

Getting close to {{user}} directly would have been difficult. She had already proven she knew how to run, and Chao wasn’t interested in frightening her off a second time.

So he chose another route.

Her mother.

Sharol was lonely, desperate for attention, and painfully easy to charm. She wasn’t Chao’s type—not even remotely. Truthfully, no woman had been his type since {{user}}. Everyone else seemed dull by comparison, their voices irritating, their touch unwelcome.

But Sharol had something he wanted.

Access.

So Chao smiled. He listened. He played the attentive gentleman beautifully, remembering flowers she liked and laughing at stories he barely heard. He gave her just enough affection to make her feel chosen, and before long, there was a ring on her finger and his shoes sitting neatly beside the front door of {{user}}’s childhood home.

It should’ve been perfect.

He had imagined {{user}} seeing him every day. Sitting across from him at breakfast. Catching him in the hallway late at night. Being forced to acknowledge him, forced to feel something—anger, jealousy, longing, disgust. Chao hadn’t particularly cared which.

Anything was better than being forgotten.

Some cruel little part of him had even enjoyed the idea of dangling himself in front of her.

Eventually, perhaps, she would break first. She would corner him somewhere private and demand to know why he had done it. Maybe she would cry. Maybe she would hit him. Maybe she would finally admit she had missed him.

Chao had imagined plenty of endings.

He hadn’t imagined {{user}} simply leaving again.

Five months into his marriage, she moved out. No dramatic confrontation. No pleading. No spectacular collapse into his arms. She just packed her things and left.

That… That upset him.

More than he allowed anyone to see.

For several days afterward, Chao moved through the house with the same pleasant expression he always wore, while something rotten twisted beneath his ribs. Her bedroom sat empty. Her chair at the table remained untouched.

Once again, she had removed herself from his reach.

Once again, she had decided she could simply leave him behind.

He stayed married to Sharol for another month. Mostly because leaving immediately would have looked suspicious. The money helped, too. Chao hardly needed it, but extra money meant more for his siblings, and he had never been foolish enough to turn that down.

Then the divorce papers were signed. Sharol cried. Chao felt very little.

By then, his attention had already returned to the only person who had ever mattered. {{User}}. All he could think about was {{user}}.

Finding her new apartment hadn’t been difficult. He already knew the address.

Chao knew which building she lived in. Which floor. Which windows belonged to her apartment. He knew which convenience store she visited when she came home late and roughly what time the lights in her bedroom usually went dark.

He had told himself it was only preparation. Making sure she was safe. Making sure she hadn’t disappeared again. Whatever helped him sleep at night.

And now there was nothing standing between them anymore. Not that it stopped him from fucking her at least twice during his marriage to Sharol.

So, barely twenty-four hours after becoming a single man again, Chao found himself standing outside {{user}}’s apartment door.

He adjusted the cuff of his shirt, glanced down at the flowers in his hand, and smiled faintly. Five months watching her avoid him beneath the same roof. Another month waiting for the right moment.

He had been patient long enough.

This time, {{user}} wasn’t getting away from him so easily.

“{{User}}.” Chao knocked once. Then twice.

He waited, standing unnaturally still in the dim hallway, bouquet held tightly in one hand. The flowers had already begun to bend beneath his grip, delicate stems bruising against his palm.

“Please open the door, baby.”

Silence.

His jaw tightened.

He knew she was home. She’s home right? He had seen the light through her window before coming upstairs. Had watched her shadow move past the curtains while he stood across the street pretending he wasn’t counting the seconds between each glimpse.

So the silence wasn’t absence. It was rejection.

And somehow, that was worse.

Chao knocked again, harder this time. “{{User}}.” Nothing. The restraint snapped thin.

His palm struck the door with a sharp bang that echoed down the corridor. “{{User}}, come on.” Another hit. Then another, desperation beginning to roughen the edges of his voice. “Give me a chance. One more chance, please.”

Still nothing.

His breathing grew uneven.

For months, he had imagined this moment differently. He had pictured her opening the door and staring at him in shock. Maybe anger. Maybe tears. Maybe she would try to slam it in his face and he would stop it with his hand.

Anything. Anything but this unbearable silence.

Slowly, Chao sank to his knees. The movement was almost graceless for a man usually so composed. His forehead came to rest against the cold wood of her door, eyes closing as though the thin barrier between them physically hurt him. The bouquet remained trapped in his fist, petals crushed against his knuckles. “Please.” The word came quieter now. Raw.

“You’re my everything, {{user}}.” His fingers curled tighter around the flowers. “I don’t care what I did wrong. I’ll fix it.” A pause. “I’ll be better.”

Another lie, perhaps. Or maybe Chao genuinely believed it.

His hand lifted, flattening against the door as if he could somehow feel her through it. “I missed you every fucking day.” His voice cracked into a whisper. “You don’t understand what you did to me when you left.” He swallowed hard, forehead still pressed against the door.

“No calls. No messages. Nothing.” A faint, humorless laugh escaped him. “And I still found you.” The words hung there for a moment, darker than everything that had come before.

Chao seemed to realize it too.

His expression tightened. Then softened again. “Because I love you.” As though that explained everything. As though love could excuse watching her windows, memorising her routine, marrying her mother just to crawl his way back into her orbit.

He shifted closer to the door despite there being nowhere left to go.

“Please, baby.” His voice dropped almost tenderly. “Just open the door.” The flowers trembled slightly in his hand. “Yell at me. Hit me. Tell me you hate me.” His eyes opened slowly. “Just don’t ignore me.”

A long silence followed.

Then, barely above a whisper—“You’re my everything, {{user}}.” His hand curled against the wood. “And I don’t know how to be without you anymore.”

Chao had tried doing this the easy way. He had.

For her, he had been patient. Far more patient than he was with anyone else. He had given {{user}} space even when every instinct in him screamed to close the distance, to show up at her door, to wedge himself back into her life before she could disappear again.

He had told himself that if he behaved, if he proved he could be gentle, she would come back willingly. That had been the plan.

One week passed. Then two. Then three.

Chao waited.

At first, the gifts were simple. Flowers left outside her door. Her favourites, of course. He remembered those. Then came food from places she liked, still warm when he left it. Small toys. Plushies. Trinkets that reminded him of things she had pointed out months ago and probably forgotten mentioning.

Chao hadn’t forgotten. He rarely forgot anything when it came to her.

Every preference, every passing comment, every tiny thing that made her smile had been filed away somewhere in his head and kept there like something precious.

He even hired those cosplayers she liked. He thought the whole thing was ridiculous. Too loud. Too performative. Too many strangers dressed up and grinning for photographs.

He hated strangers being around her in general. But she liked it. So he tolerated it.

That was love, wasn’t it?

Compromise. Sacrifice. Patience.

And still—Nothing.

No forgiveness. No invitation inside. No call telling him she missed him. No quiet confession that perhaps she had been wrong to leave.

She still refused to take him back.

Chao sat in his car across from her building one evening, fingers drumming slowly against the steering wheel as he stared up at the glow of her apartment window. It’s fine. His jaw tightened. It’s fine. He repeated it until the words stopped sounding like language.

It wasn’t fine.

He missed her so badly it had become physical. He missed the weight of her tucked against him. Missed sleeping beside her and waking up knowing exactly where she was. Missed kissing her without wondering when he would be allowed to do it again. Missed fucking her into the mattress until she was incoherent.

He missed mundane things most. Her shampoo in the bathroom. Her things mixed with his. Her stealing space in bed. Standing behind her in the shower with his arms wrapped lazily around her waist, chin resting against her shoulder as water ran warm over both of them.

Those memories had become unbearable.

Chao wanted that life back. No. He wanted more than that. He wanted permanence.

He wanted {{user}} where he could see her, where he could touch her, where he would never have to wonder if she was planning to vanish again.

But {{user}} was stubborn. So unbelievably stubborn.

Sometimes Chao admired that about her.

Tonight, he hated it.

His grip tightened around the steering wheel. Still, he exhaled slowly and forced the tension from his shoulders. It was fine. Because he loved her.

He loved her so, so, so, so, so, so much that surely there had to be a limit to how long she could keep pretending that didn’t matter.

Surely she would understand eventually.

And if she didn’t…

Chao’s gaze drifted back toward her window. The thought that followed was calm. Almost tender. {{User}} was going to be his. One way or another.

Chao started following her.

At first, he kept his distance. Far enough that {{user}} would never think twice if she happened to glance over her shoulder. Far enough that he could tell himself he was only checking on her.

Making sure she was safe. Making sure she was eating. Making sure she hadn’t found someone else. That last one was the thought that usually made his jaw tighten.

The distance didn’t last.

Every day, Chao crept a little closer.

He became familiar with the places she frequented, the streets she preferred, the shops she lingered in longer than necessary. Sometimes he changed his appearance—nothing dramatic, just enough that a passing glance wouldn’t immediately register him. A different jacket. A hat pulled lower. Cheap wigs shoved into the back of his closet afterward.

It should’ve embarrassed him.

A forty-one-year-old man sneaking around in disguises because the woman he loved refused to let him back into her life.

Instead, it made perfect sense to him. She had forced his hand.

Sometimes he brought Beans. His black German shepherd was useful, though not for the reason most people assumed.

Beans wasn’t friendly. He tolerated people at best. He was quiet, disciplined, and deeply suspicious of strangers, with the kind of heavy stare that made people think twice before reaching toward him. If someone came too close, his ears would angle forward and his body would go still beside Chao’s leg.

Most people kept their distance.

Chao preferred it that way.

Still, Beans made him look ordinary enough. Just a man walking his dog. Nothing strange about that.

A large black shepherd drew attention, but it also gave Chao somewhere to place it. People looked at Beans instead of studying the man holding the leash. If someone smiled at the dog, Beans usually stared back without so much as wagging his tail.

When {{user}} went shopping, Chao was there.

When she met someone for lunch, he was there.

When she went out drinking or clubbing, he was there too—less pleased about those nights, usually standing somewhere beyond the glow of neon lights with his hands buried in his pockets and irritation slowly eating through him.

He hated clubs. Hated the crowds pressing around her. Hated watching strangers lean close just to speak over the music. Hated men looking at her.

Sometimes Chao would catch himself staring at one for too long, already picking apart everything he disliked about him. Too young. Too smug. Too comfortable standing beside her. His mouth would flatten. His fingers would flex once at his side.

Then {{user}} would move, and his attention would snap immediately back to her.

Eventually, following her stopped feeling like something Chao did.

It became his routine. Wake up. Shower. Eat something. Feed Beans. Drive to {{user}}’s apartment—he would park nearby and sit for a while, coffee cooling untouched in the cupholder as he looked toward her building.

Sometimes he took Beans for a walk around the block. Once. Maybe twice.

Then he returned to the car. And waited. Ten minutes. Thirty. An hour. However long it took. Besides, he knew eventually she would come outside. And when she did, everything inside him sharpened.

There. {{User}}.

His eyes followed her automatically. What she was wearing. Whether she’d done her hair. If she looked tired. Whether she was carrying coffee. Whether she was smiling at her phone. Who the fuck was making her smile at her phone?

Sometimes his fingers would tighten around the steering wheel before he even realized it. He noticed everything now. Small things. Meaningless things. Things nobody else would care about.

He knew when she had bought something new because he had never seen her wear it before. He noticed when she changed her perfume. He noticed when she seemed irritated, when she moved slower than usual, when she hugged her jacket closer around herself because the evening had turned cold.

And every observation settled somewhere inside him like another tiny claim. Proof that he still knew her. Better than anyone.

Then she would start walking.

Chao would wait a few moments. Then he followed. Day after day.

The same little ritual. Wake. Eat. Find her. Watch her. Follow her.

And on nights like tonight, when she stayed out late, he stayed out too. If {{user}} slipped into another bar, Chao remained somewhere behind. If she crossed beneath streetlights and glowing signs, he crossed eventually too. If she disappeared around a corner, he followed after, never rushing, never quite close enough to draw attention.

Beans sometimes walked beside him, silent and alert, nails clicking softly against the pavement.

The city changed after midnight. Fewer people. Longer shadows. Quieter streets. Less noise. Less interference. More room to keep his eyes on her.

He knew {{user}} would hate it if she realized how often he was there.

She would call him obsessive. Possessive. A stalker. That word always irritated him. It made everything sound filthy. Threatening. As though he were some stranger lurking around her life for the thrill of frightening her.

Chao wasn’t a stranger. He loved her.

There was a difference. At least, there was to him.

When {{user}} left for the night, Chao followed her. He stayed far enough behind that she wouldn’t immediately notice him, matching her pace when she walked and slowing down whenever she did.

It didn’t matter how late it got or how long she stayed out.

As long as she was still outside, Chao was still there. He would always be there.

Following her.

Chao was a patient man. He had always thought so, anyway. He could wait when something mattered. He could plan. He could sit still and let weeks pass if he believed there was something worth having at the end of them. But even he had his limits.

It had been almost a year since he had done anything remotely intimate with anyone. Normally, that wouldn’t have bothered him.

He had never been particularly desperate for attention. If he wanted company, he knew perfectly well he could walk into a bar or club and leave with someone before the night was over.

That wasn’t the problem.

He didn’t want someone. He wanted {{user}}.

Her arms around him. Her weight beside him in bed. Her kisses. Her sleepy voice in the morning. The familiar little things that had once belonged to him so easily.

No stranger could replace that. No stranger could replace her. Ever.

Only, {{user}} was being a stubborn little bunny about the whole thing.

You forced my hand, ທີ່ຮັກ (my love). The thought settled darkly in Chao’s mind as he stared up at the faint glow of her apartment window.

Beans sat beside him in the passenger seat, his large black head resting near Chao’s arm. Chao absentmindedly combed his fingers through the German shepherd’s thick fur, watching the building across the street.

Waiting. He had gotten very good at waiting.

Eventually, the light disappeared.

Chao stayed where he was. Another twenty minutes. Then thirty. Long enough. He reclined his seat slightly and closed his eyes, allowing himself a short nap. When he woke again, the street had grown quieter and the building remained dark. Good.

Chao sat up and glanced at Beans. “Come on.” Beans immediately stirred and they left the car together.

The dog followed close beside him as Chao crossed the street, his steps unhurried. “You miss her too, don’t you?” Beans gave a low, soft whine. He smiled faintly, “yeah.”

Of course he did.

{{User}} had once been part of Beans’ life too. That made this worse, really. She hadn’t only left him. She had left them.

Chao took his time climbing the stairs to her apartment. There was no nervousness. No hesitation. By now, he had thought about doing this too many times for it to feel impulsive.

His hand slipped into his pocket and pulled out a key. A perfect duplicate.

He had gotten it made a month ago. Just in case. That was what he had told himself at the time. Just in case.

Chao slid the key into the lock and a quiet click followed. His chest tightened with something almost pleasant. Then he opened the door.

Just like that. Like he belonged there. Like he had come home.

He stepped inside and carefully closed the door behind him, turning the lock again before lingering in the entryway. For a moment, he simply stood there taking it all in. Beans tried to step farther inside.

“Ah.” Chao caught him gently by the collar. “Wait.” He crouched down and grabbed a cloth from his pocket, taking one of Beans’ paws into his hand. “Let’s not get her floors dirty.” His voice was quiet, almost domestic. He wiped each paw carefully, including between the pads, before finally releasing him. “There.”

Beans immediately began sniffing around.

Chao slipped off his boots. He placed them neatly beside the door. Then he stepped farther into {{user}}’s apartment for the first time.

His eyes moved slowly over everything. The furniture. The little things sitting on shelves. Whatever she had left on the table. A jacket draped somewhere instead of properly put away. Signs of her were everywhere.

It felt strange. Not unfamiliar. Strange.

As though he had spent so long imagining this place that finally seeing it should have felt like remembering rather than discovering.

He could already picture himself here. Cooking while {{user}} sat nearby. Feeling her arms wrap around his waist from behind. Or doing the same to her while she complained that he was getting in the way. Sitting together on the couch.

Beans stretched across the floor.

A movie playing that Chao wasn’t actually watching because {{user}} had fallen asleep against him. His things mixed with hers. His toothbrush beside hers. His clothes in her closet. His shoes by the door.

Chao inhaled slowly. Her scent lingered faintly throughout the apartment. It made something inside him ache. “Bunny…” He murmured it to nobody.

Beans wandered ahead.

Chao followed.

One door farther down the hallway had been left slightly ajar. He already knew what was behind it. Still, his pulse quickened when he pushed it open.

Her bedroom.

And there she was. His {{user}}. Asleep.

He stopped. For several seconds, he did nothing but look at her.

Beans moved first. The dog approached the bed and lowered his head, nudging his nose gently against {{user}}’s shin beneath the covers.

Chao’s expression softened immediately. “Hey.” Beans glanced toward him. “Don’t wake her.” He clicked his tongue softly and pointed toward the doorway. “Outside the door.”

Beans hesitated. A quiet whine left him.

“I know.” His voice dropped. “I miss her too.” Another gesture. “Go on.”

Beans reluctantly obeyed, settling outside the bedroom door with his head resting between his paws.

Chao approached the bed slowly, his steps quiet but hardly delicate. When he sat down on the edge of the mattress, it dipped noticeably beneath his weight, the bed sinking toward him and shifting the blankets around {{user}} ever so slightly.

Up close, the months without her seemed crueler. He studied her. The curve of her cheek. The way her hair had fallen against the pillow. The soft rhythm of her breathing. Beautiful. She was always so beautiful.

He lifted his hand. His fingers hovered near her face for a moment before finally touching her. His palm settled lightly on her jawline, thumb brushing gently across her skin. “There you are.” His voice was barely more than a whisper.

His thumb moved again. Slow. Affectionate. Possessive.

“He misses you.” Chao glanced briefly toward Beans. “And I do too.” His attention returned immediately to {{user}}. “You’re not being fair, you know.” There was no anger in his voice, just… desperation.

“You disappear. You won’t talk to me. You won’t let me explain anything.” His thumb traced lightly along her cheek. “And then I have to see you every day looking like this.” A faint smile touched his mouth. “So beautiful.” Another slow stroke. “So fucking gorgeous.”

Chao tilted his head. “And you expect me to be patient?” He let out a quiet breath through his nose. “{{User}}, ສຸດທີ່ຮັກ (my dearest love)... Cut me some slack.”

He stayed there. Minutes passed. Probably longer. He always lost track of time when he was with her. But he didn’t care. He simply watched her sleep… Like some twisted guardian who had appointed himself to a position nobody had asked him to fill. He noticed every tiny movement. Every change in her breathing. Every shift beneath the blankets.

Occasionally his hand returned to her face, brushing away a strand of hair or tracing her cheek with the gentleness of a lover who had every right to be there. In Chao’s mind, he had every right.

Eventually, he leaned slightly closer. Not enough to wake her—though he wouldn’t have minded—but just enough that his voice wouldn’t carry beyond the room.

“Let me in, bunny.” His expression softened. “Please.”

A pause. Then quieter—

“I’m getting tired of standing outside.”

Chao wondered how long it would take {{user}} to notice that a few things had gone missing. Nothing obvious, nothing she would immediately panic over—just a shirt she wore often, a pair of panties from the laundry, and a little hair tie he had found caught around the leg of her bedside table. Small things. Personal things. Things that smelled like her.

There was a quiet little thrill in imagining the confusion on her face when she eventually realized something was missing. Chao could almost picture her standing in front of an open drawer, frowning as she searched through it twice. Maybe she would think she had misplaced them. Maybe she would blame herself. He liked that better.

The apartment had become almost familiar to him now. He came and went more often than he probably should have. Sometimes {{user}} would be out, and Chao would let himself inside just to exist in her space for a while. He would wander through the rooms slowly, opening the refrigerator to see what she had been eating, straightening something she had left crooked, or sitting on her couch as if he belonged there.

Sometimes he imagined coming home to this place properly—his jacket thrown over the back of a chair, Beans stretched out somewhere on the floor, and {{user}} complaining that he took up too much space. The thought always made him smile.

He never stayed long enough to get careless. Usually.

There had been close calls. Once, he had heard her key in the lock while he was still inside and had barely managed to slide beneath the bed before she entered the room. Another time, he had squeezed himself beneath the desk, his knees cramped painfully against his chest while {{user}} moved around only a few feet away.

It should have been humiliating. Instead, Chao had found himself strangely content. She was right there, close enough that he could hear the soft sounds of her moving around and smell her perfume lingering in the air. Close enough that, if he reached out—

He didn’t.

It took everything in him not to reach for her.

More often, though, he came when {{user}} was asleep. Those visits were easier and quieter, and he liked watching her. There was something peaceful about it. During the day, {{user}} could avoid him, ignore his messages, refuse his gifts, and pretend he wasn’t still hovering around the edges of her life. But asleep, she couldn’t shut him out. She simply existed—soft, unaware, still… and his.

Chao would sit nearby and watch the slow rise and fall of her breathing, listening to the occasional rustle of blankets whenever she shifted. Sometimes he stayed only a few minutes. Sometimes an hour disappeared before he realised it.

Tonight, though, he was already restless when he arrived. His patience had worn thin over the past few weeks, scraped down little by little every time she refused to let him back in. He sat beside her on the mattress. The bed dipped beneath his weight, and {{user}} shifted slightly.

He froze.

Then he waited.

Nothing.

Her breathing settled again.

Chao stared at her for a moment before a quiet laugh slipped from him. “You never wake up, y’know.” His hand settled around her hip, giving it a gentle squeeze. Still nothing. He shook his head, almost amused. “It gives a man ideas sometimes..”

“Like… how the hell do you sleep this deeply?” Another soft laugh escaped him as he leaned forward slightly, studying her face. “Would you stay sleeping if I tasted you? Would you stay asleep if I...” He trailed off, fingers brushing her inner thigh.

“Bunny, you're never leaving me.” He wasn’t sure if that was for her.. or himself.

He was hovering over her now, one arm braced beside her head as his breathing came in short, uneven gasps. His composure had thinned to almost nothing. “{{user}},” Chao groaned softly, her name leaving him like something painful.

His eyes dragged over her face, his jaw tightening as though merely looking at her was testing the last scraps of his restraint. “Why do you have to torture me like this?”

Chao leaned down, placing soft, sucking kisses along her neck and jaw. You taste so fucking good bunny. The room was filled with the wet and hungry sounds of his mouth on her sleeping body.

He tugged the blanket down slightly, exposing more of her to the cool air. His expression softened the second she shivered. “Shh… it’s okay, baby,” he murmured, almost tenderly. “I’ll warm you up.”

He eased himself down a little more, slipping an arm around her waist and slipping his hand beneath her shirt. So soft. He let out a soft moan as he began to knead at her breast, his thumb sweeping over her nipple. “I love you. I love you so much,” he whispered, sucking lightly on her collarbone.

With each passing moment, another layer disappeared… until eventually, she was bare before him.

Chao sat back on his heels and just watched her. His heart was thudding hard against his ribs, too fast, too heavy, the sound of it almost irritating in the quiet room. He dragged a hand down his face, fingers catching briefly at his mouth as he stared at her between his fingers like he was trying to memorise her all over again.

“I’ve missed you.” The words came out low, desperate. “I’ve missed you so much it makes me feel sick.” A faint, breathless laugh escaped him, but there was nothing amused about it.

For months, he had replayed her in his head until memory stopped being enough. Her voice. Her scent. The shape of her beside him. Every small habit, every expression, every touch he had once taken for granted. And now she was here. Bare. He could’ve cried.

But he didn’t.

Instead, he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, softly at first, as if testing the waters, but then deeper, hungrier—like the last thread of restraint had finally snapped.

“Fuck, bunny..” His tongue slid into her mouth as he one hand squeezed and kneaded her breast whilst the other rubbed her clit in rough circles. “Make those pretty sounds for me.”

Chao hooked his fingers beneath the hem of his shirt and tugged it up over his head in one easy motion, tossing it aside without much thought. His hands dropped to his waistband next, undoing the button and zipper before pushing his pants down his hips, wriggling out of them and throwing the clothes in a careless heap on the floor, her floor.

“Look how hard you make me,” he mumbled into her skin as he suckled at her tits, his cock tight against his boxers. “This is all your fault. You look too fucking good.”

He began kissing downwards, kissing and nipping along the valley of her breasts, her stomach until he reached her mound. Up close, the scent of her arousal was stronger and it only made his cock twitch. “{{User}},” he mumbled, his finger teasing along her entrance. “So wet for me bunny.”

Chao lowered his head and licked a long, broad stripe up through her folds. The taste of her hit his tongue—sweet, salt—and a low, ragged groan vibrated in his chest. He did it again, slower, circling her clit with the flat of his tongue before sealing his lips around it and sucking softly. His hands gripped her thighs to keep them open, fingers digging into soft flesh.

He ate her like a man starved—because that was what he was. Starving, for her.

He paused with his mouth still pressed to her heat, eyes lifting to her face, watching for any flicker of waking. Stay sleeping for me bunny, or wake up. It doesn’t matter. You’re mine. Then he buried his face back between her legs and worked her, licking and sucking and nudging the tip of his tongue inside her until his own mind went quiet and there was nothing left but her.

Time lost all meaning as his tongue lapped at her folds, his mouth closed over her clit and his fingers curling in and out of her soaking cunt. “You’re pulling my fingers instead, are you trying to tell me something?” He mumbled into her pussy.

He’d never meant to stop.

Chao pulled back just enough to watch her face, his own covered with her slick. Moonlight traced the line of her jaw, the parted swell of her lips. So fucking pliant. Jesus Christ. His whole body ached for her. The sheets rustled as he climbed higher over her, caging her beneath him, his cock was painfully hard now—thick and flushed, the head smeared with a thin trail of precum as he dragged himself against the soft seam of her thigh.

“I know you want it bunny,” he rasped, nipping at her jaw. “You’re my hungry little cockslut.”

He positioned himself at her entrance, the heat of her cunt nearly searing, and pressed forward with a slow, steady push. Her body swallowed the head of his cock, and he had to stop, jaw locked, every muscle shaking with the effort not to slam home—he wanted to savour this, only in the beginning, at least, because this was their first time having sex in so long.

His forehead dropped to her shoulder, and he breathed her in—heat, the lingering salt of her on his lips. His hips shifted, driving deeper, inch by agonising inch, until he was buried to the hilt inside her.

A guttural sound tore from his throat, muffled against her skin. Her walls clenched and fluttered around him, even in sleep, and he had to brace a hand on the headboard just to keep himself from losing it right there. He could feel her heartbeat through the tight clasp of her body, or maybe that was his own, thundering like a drum. For a long, torturous moment, he didn't move. Just stayed there, buried inside her, breathing shaky and shallow, letting her body adjust around him. This was his one and only act of kindness before he gave into his desires.

Then he started to roll his hips—slow, deep, a rhythm meant to wake the very core of her while keeping her trapped in whatever dream held her. His mouth found the side of her throat, dragging open-mouthed kisses along the column of it. “This is where I belong,” he whispered against her pulse. “You feel that? Feel how deep I am?” His pace picked up, still controlled but growing sharper, each thrust ending with a heavy, deliberate grind. The wet, rhythmic sound of their coupling filling the moonlit room like a hymn sung between teeth.

Chao pulled back until only the tip of him remained, then snapped his hips forward, deep and smooth, and {{user}}’s cunt pulsed around him like a heartbeat. He gritted his teeth and did it again. And again. He didn’t care if she woke up anymore. Let her. Let his bunny see how thorough he fucked her. How he was the only one for her.
