Work Text:
His feelings were confused; he wanted to grasp till Alexander's very bones were somehow engulfed within himself, but knew this to be wicked and mad; he would kill anyone who harmed a hair of his headâŚ
⌠you yawned at the page youâd been reading (i.e., staring at without absorbing a single bit of information), before turning your head to the nightstand and seeing the clock mark 2:49 am.
âGood godâ, you whispered, tiredly rubbing your face with one hand, while the other reached for the half-full glass of red wine keeping you company in your insomnia.
Technically, you knew drinking was the last thing you should be doing on a weeknight, when you were having a hard time falling asleep and were expected at work in the morning. But living alone was really not helping you behave like a responsible adult with bills to pay. So, you slowly sip your wine, read your book, and hope that eventually your brain will give up and allow you to pass out for at least a few hours.
Suddenly, your phone lights up with a text. Michael B., it says on the screen. A pang of excitement hits you, and you immediately scoff for reacting so earnestly to a text from a guy youâve been with (not even biblically, just the daytime coffee dates that people with busy lives manage to pack into a crazy week) for a grand total of two times and less than two hours, overall. Not pathetic at all.
Still, you canât help but reach for the phone.
Hey, I know itâs late and you probably wonât read this until morning, sorry. Wanna have dinner at that spot we talked about? I can pick you up at the office ;) â M.
You smile, and without really thinking, hit the call button.
He picks up quickly, an amused tone in his voice. âWell, I was not expecting that. What the hell are you still doing up, princess? No work tomorrow?â
You laugh. âGod, I wish. I just canât sleep. Havenât had one of these nights in a while⌠my brain wonât shut up, even though Iâm so tired I feel like Iâve been hit by a truckâ.
âOoof. That fucking sucks.â
âYup.â
âWell, Iâm glad to be your booty call in this desperate time.â
âMichaelâ, you laugh so hard you choke on some wine and must set the glass back on the table. âI really donât think thatâs what this isâ.
âOh, no?â, he feigns innocence.
âNoâŚâ, chuckling, you continue with the most sultry, mock-seductive voice you can muster â⌠a booty call is if I was like: Sooo, Mikey⌠are you, like, busy right now? Do you wanna⌠come over? Iâm aaall aloneâŚâ.
You make sure to put particular emphasis on the word âcomeâ and Mike sounds like he is doubling over with laughter. âThat was the worst proposition I have ever heard, no doubtâ.
âOh, yeah? Well, youâre officially off my booty call list. I donât need this kind of negativity in my life.â
âAh, shit⌠I fucked up now, didnât I?â, you swear you can hear his grin from the other end of the line. And see the laugh lines that form on the corner of his eyes when he smiles genuinely, the rare but so cute nose crinkle that makes your belly flutterâŚ
You would love to get a fucking grip, thank you very much, but the wine was making you incapable of keeping a level head in this flirtation.
âWell⌠all is not lost. Taking me out to dinner is a good start to redeem yourself. If your game is on point tomorrow, your booty call list status might be revised⌠in the not-so-far futureâ, you add, suggestively.
âShit. Now the stakes are on. I gotta be on my best behavior tomorrow, thenâ.
âI donât know about best behaviorâŚâ. You feel like slapping yourself for your lack of subtlety.
He chuckles. âSo⌠you like them a little nasty, huh?â
Youâre glad he canât see you blush furiously. âNot like that⌠but I do like a man who isnât afraid to⌠take what he wants. Respectfully, of course.â
âOf course⌠damn, girl. Youâre getting me thinking about all sorts of thingsâŚâ
âWell, youâre the one who started talking about booty calls. Itâs technically your faultâ.
âThatâs fucking rich. I was being a gentleman, sent you a sweet text and all. Not a single sex reference!â, he says, proudly.
âOk, that is trueâ, you concede, laughing softly. âAre you still at the restaurant?â
He sighs deeply. âYeah⌠paperwork coming out of my eyeballs. I donât even understand how the hell I organized this messâ. You hear rustling through the line, and imagine the mess of letters, invoices and bills that must be covering his office desk.
âThat fucking sucksâ.
âWordâ. His chair squeaks loudly. âSo⌠what are you wearing?â
You laugh. âYouâre unbelievableâ.
âWhat? Iâm just trying to keep the conversation light, you know? Nobody wants to hear about my fuckinâ paperwork at 3 amâ.
It was subtle, but you could sense something deeper in his words (sadness? self-deprecation?).
âI wouldnât mind hearing about your âfuckinâ paperworkâ at any time of day, Michaelâ.
The line goes silent, and you fear you went too deep, too soon. Made this weird in record time, wow.
âI didnât mean it like⌠I meant if you want to talk to me about your shitty day, you know, you can, but I donât want you to be uncomf-â
âHey, hey, itâs okay sweetheart. I get it⌠thank you for thatâ, he says, softly. âMaybe some other time. Right now, I honestly just wanna forget about this for a little while... I was really pumped when you calledâ.
âThatâs okay. Really?â You smile, relieved.
âYeah, really. So⌠wanna make a guy happy and tell him what youâre wearing?â
With a chuckle, you concede. âWell, nothing. Iâm in bed and I sleep naked, so⌠yeahâ.
Thereâs a heavy pause. âHoly shit. Are you for real?â
âUm, yeah?â
âJesus, fuck⌠baby, you canât say stuff like that and expect me to be normal about itâ.
You grin, having just decided that, actually, you wanna play dirty.
âWho says I want you to be normal about it? Besidesâ, you throw back, suggestively, âI hardly think a woman can be held accountable for what she says after four glasses of wine on a Thursday night⌠naked and alone, in such a big bedâŚâ
âNow, see, that was a much better pitch for a booty call than the first o-â
âIâm gonna hang up.â
âNo, no, no, Iâm sorryâ, he laughs.
âYouâre an assholeâ. Even as you say it, youâre smiling.
âAnd you are a minx, lady. Gettinâ a guy all worked upâŚâ
âOh, my... I donât know what you meanâŚâ, you whisper into the comforter, now balled up in your fist over your mouth, as if to cover up your blushing cheeks from an invisible audience.
âOh, I disagree⌠I think you know exactly what youâre doingâ. Thereâs a note of sarcasm in his voice you find exhilarating. A sudden noise â like a chair squeaking loudly on a panel floor â can be heard from his end. Followed by⌠a metallic rattle, more subtle but still clear. A⌠belt unbuckling?
Wait. Is he�
You grin, amused. âMr. Berzatto⌠Iâm hearing suspicious noises. What is going on over there?â
A deep grunt. âNothinâ much, sweetheart. Just making myself comfortable, is allâ.
âAnd how exactly are you doing that, mister?â
âYou know⌠freeing the junk.â
Your eyebrows shoot up. âWell, that certainly helps set the moodâ.
âHm⌠baby, can I ask you for something? Itâs totally fine if you donât wanna do it⌠but I figure I might as well shoot my shot.â
You notice you are sitting up very still against the pillows in your bed, holding your breath in anticipation. âSure⌠what is it?â
A heavy pause follows. Your heart feels like itâs about to beat itself out of your ribcage, your throat feels dry, and your tongue sits heavy and thick in your mouth, the taste of wine suddenly overpowering your senses. And you are so horny.
âCould you⌠send me a photo of you right now? Are you wearing those new glasses?â. He sounds⌠eager, almost nervous with the way he trips over the second question.
Oh. Something clicks for you, then. You smile. âSo, you really liked the new glasses, huh?â
âShit⌠câmon, donât bust my balls about itâ, he says, with an embarrassed chuckle of admission.
âIâm not! Itâs very flattering, actuallyâ. You hope you conveyed how much you are not making fun of him. However, you hate misunderstandings, and to dispel any that might be going on here, you decide there is only one acceptable solution.
âGive me a minuteâ, you tell him, determined. You donât wait for an answer before you drop your phone and get to work.
Meanwhile, Mikey sits in his rusty office chair, in what he thinks must look like a very⌠undignified position. Cock out, right hand stroking it lazily, slumped back with his jeans barely down his ass, work shirt dirty and stinking of cooking oil, his entire body tense in a mix of anticipation and shame. A part of him canât help but wonder if you are fucking with him: laughing from the other end of the line, leaving him hanging â literally and figuratively (he chuckles dejectedly at the realization that he still remembers something from high school Lit class). He guesses he would kinda deserve that. What type of freak asks for nudes after two⌠dates? Do those rapid-fire coffee-grabs even count? He is so shit at this. Anything more than a casual hook-up or a quickie behind a sleezy pub is rocket science for him. âCongrats, loser! You just fucked it, yet againâ.
Then, his phone pings. 5 photos received.
In the first one, you are lying on your side, in bed, a dim warm light illuminating the scene. He can see the contours of your body clearly, despite being covered by a layer of nearly sheer white sheets. His gaze follows your exposed collarbone, to the silhouette of your breasts â he is sure you purposefully allowed a bit of side-boob to slip past the entrapment of sheets⌠just for him.
He swears he could stare at the shapes of your body all day and never get tired â or limp. His dick is throbbing painfully, now.
It does not get better when he sees the rest of the photos. Your face is visible, on those. The last two are his favorites. You are laying on your stomach, with the reading glasses on, as promised â except they sit lower on your nose than usual, so that your eyes peak out from over the top of the frames. Your hair is down, tousled and wild like itâs just gotten messed up. âIs this what she looks like afterâŚâ. You are holding a glass of wine to your mouth â lips plump and lightly tinged red â that detail drives him a little insane â, and in front of you lays a book, delicately held open with your other hand. And in the last photo, the sheets have slipped lower down your breasts, revealing a generous cleavage. Youâre staring directly at the camera with an inquiring gaze, biting your lower lip. âCome get meâ.
â⌠Mike? Are you still there?â
Itâs been some time since you sent the photos (twenty seconds, which your anxiety tells you is actually half an hour), with no reaction from him. Your cheeks heat up, and you suddenly feel very silly and insecure. Are they even⌠good? What makes a good nude? Do these even qualify as nudes? Youâre not showing anything super explicit⌠theyâre suggestive, at best. Is he going to think youâre a prude? God, why is this so diff-
Mike clears his throat. âYeah, I⌠fuck. Fuckinâ hell. Holy shit. Sweetheart⌠these are so hot. Jesus⌠thank you so much. Youâre so fuckinâ gorgeousâŚâ. The last part comes out as a whisper, like heâs starstruck. Â
You didnât know it was possible to get more flustered than you already were. âYouâre welcome⌠Iâm flattered I managed to make Michael Berzatto incoherent over some low-res thirst trap selfies.â
âBaby, these are genuinely the hottest pics Iâve ever seen. You look like a hot librarian or somethingâ.
You laugh out loud, triumphantly. âAh! I knew it!â
âWhat?â, he laughs along.
âSomething you wanna share with the class, Mr. Berzatto?â.
âFuck, donât stop calling me that, sweetheartâ, he says, sounding out of breath.
âYeah?â, you whisper.
âFuck, yeah. Itâs just⌠Iâve got a thing for girls with a kinda nerdy, librarian type of vibe, you know? And when I saw you this last time, holding a book and wearing your reading glasses⌠I gotta admit, my mind went straight to the gutter.â
Interesting. âReally? What did you imagine then?â.
A pause. âIâm not sure you want to hear it⌠I donât want you thinking Iâm a pervert or somethingâ.
You sigh. âMikey, I just sent you near-naked photos of me. Weâre having phone sex. We are two horny adults having fun. BesidesâŚâ, you switch your tone to what you hope comes across as faux innocence, â⌠I asked you about it. It is kinda my fault, right? I guess I was kind of⌠badâ.
âOh, is that whatâs happening?â. He chuckles, as if saying challenge accepted. âAlright, then. When I saw you like that for the first time, this image popped into my head, right? I mean, you looked like a really hot librarian. So, I started picturing you in that scenario, with big glasses and all â just like the photos you sent me⌠except you had your hair in a cute ponytail, and your lips were even redder with lipstick⌠and you were wearing fishnet stockings up to your thighs â fuck, you got such nice legs, baby â, and you had a pair of those⌠what are they called. Uh, kitten heels. Yeah. Fuck, your ass would look unbelievable like that. I mean, it is unbelievable, you know what I mean? When you show up at the restaurant wearing those cute little dresses and skirts, I feel my dick twitching in my pants⌠thatâs how hot you are, baby⌠thatâs how crazy you make me feel.â
His words were streaming out like an avalanche â a filthy stream-of-consciousness. Flash images of all the times you were together pop into your mind. He was always nice and polite to you, if cheeky â that was his personality, after all. Youâd never felt disrespected or threatened around him. Maybe thatâs why, now that you knew he had been actively thinking about you like this⌠you were very turned on.
âToo much, sweetheart? You wanna keep listening to this filth?â
â⌠yeah, Mikey. Keep going. What happened then?â
âThen, I took you to a hidden corner in the library, rucked up your pretty little skirt and ripped your real nice dress shirt open⌠you know, so I could suck on your tits while I fucked you hard against some shelves. Didnât even need to rip your panties off, âcause you werenât wearing any. Just lifted you up and slammed my cock right into your pussy⌠God, you were drippinâ wet for me, and you mewled so sweetly⌠loud, too. Had to shove my fingers into your pretty mouth to keep you quiet. Thatâs what I imagined, sweetheart. More or less.â
The crass and vivid way in which he described his fantasy made you speechless. It was exhilarating. Knowing that all those times he had talked to you with a straight face, he had been actively fantasizing about fucking you hard. His words.
âJesus Christ, Mikeyâ, you breathe out. âThatâs⌠I canât believe we had entire conversations while you had a cheap porn flick playing in your headâ, you laugh softly, unconvincingly.
He sighed deeply. âSee, I knew this was a bad idea⌠honey, Iâm sorry, I didnât mean to make you feel like shit. I guess Iâm just a fucking perv-â
âBabeâŚâ, you interrupt him, gentle, but firm, âshut up, please. Iâm messing with you. I told you, itâs very flattering that youâre attracted to me. In fact⌠itâs super hot. Knowing you were having all those dirty thoughts about me while still being a gentleman⌠is making me feel all kinds of things, right now.â
âYeah? What kinds of things?â
âGood things, Mikey⌠Iâm so wet right nowâ, you mewl, the need for release in your core overwhelming the embarrassment you would be feeling otherwise. Without thinking, you kick the sheets away from your body and cup one of your breasts, kneading it and flicking your nipple â a moan leaves your mouth in a desperate plea.
âFuckâ, he whispers, âyou got wet over that filth? Jesus Christ, baby. I won the fuckinâ lotteryâ.
You are burning with desire, and you can feel your pussy throbbing when you finally give in, sliding one hand down and shoving two fingers inside with barely any resistance. âMikey⌠I wanna come so bad. Can you talk me through it⌠please?â
âFuck⌠yeah, sweetheart, anything you wantâ. He moans, then, and you donât think you have ever been so turned on in your life. Mikey Berzatto, a horny, moaning mess, jerking off in his mess of an office at 3 am⌠because of you.
Chicagoâs Helen of Troy. You chuckled softly at the thought and decided to up the ante. âBaby⌠do you know what I was thinking when you were telling that beautiful story just now?â
He laughs, voice recked. âWhat, baby?â
You pout, and add another finger in, increasing the pace of the thrusts. âI wish you had pictured kissing me real hard, while I unbuckled your belt⌠would you let me get down on my knees for you, baby? I really wanna have you in my mouth, Mikey, like, right nowâ. Your words come out broken, sentences all messed up â you sound pathetic, but you are so past caring.
âShit-â, a gasp, followed by a deep breath and the noise of something hitting a surface really hard. â⌠holy shit. Baby, I imagined all that and a whole lot more â seriously, you have no idea. Hell, if the lady wants to suck my dick, who am I to deny her, uh? Fuck. Would you let me fuck your mouth, babyâŚ?â
You moan loudly at that and realize you need both hands, putting the phone on speaker â fuck the neighbors â and bringing your other hand to your clit, rubbing lightly, but fast. You were so close. The thought of kneeling on the floor, clothes and hair all messed up from Mikeyâs hands, lipstick smudged⌠looking up at him, and watching his composure unravel because of youâŚ
âHm⌠yeah, Mikey, I think I would⌠âcause youâre so nice to me⌠such a gentleman, even when youâre fucking me hard⌠would you ask me real nice, baby? Hold my face gently in your big hands, while you fuck it?â
âFuck, baby⌠I would treat you so right, you deserve everything-â, he chokes up and, for a few moments, you hear a distant cacophony of noises, like heâs put the phone down. Then, heâs back. âSorry, sweetheart, I need both hands nowâ, he chuckles.
You giggle, âMe too⌠you got me so hot Iâm fucking myself on my fingers and rubbing my clit at the same time⌠and itâs still not enough. I need youâŚâ
âFuck, thatâs so hot. You fuckinâ yourself because of me⌠I know itâs not enough, baby⌠you need my cock, donât you?â
âYes! Mikey⌠pleaseâŚâ, you howl, completely out of your mind.
âHow do you want me to fuck you, baby? Hm? Want it nice and slow? Nah⌠I think you like it fast and rough, donât you? Long as I keep kissing you real good, touchinâ you real gentle, all over your body⌠youâd let me do anything to you, wouldnât you?â. How he manages to say such filthy things with so much honey dripping from every syllable, is beyond you.
âYeah, fuck, baby⌠it doesnât matter. Iâm so wet already, you donât need to do anything else, just hoist me up in your arms and pin me against the shelves⌠and shove it in meâ.
You are still holding onto a shred of decency because you blush at your own crass admission â still, there is clearly not a whole lot left, as you start rubbing your clit and fucking yourself harder and faster. âI donât want you to be gentle when you fuck me⌠I just need to feel your cock stretch me open⌠wanna feel the sting of it for days, be at work and not be able to focus because all I can think about is how you fucked me so good-â
At this point, you have no idea if he can understand anything youâre saying, because your words are intercut with moans and gasps and mewls and incoherent babble, as youâre about to reach your peak imagining Mikeyâs on top of you, railing you into the bed.
âBaby, Iâm gonna come⌠fuckinâ Christâ.
âMikey- fuck!â.
Your body shakes and your eyes roll back from the strength of your orgasm. Distantly, your brain registers a broken string of moans and curses from the other end of the line.
A few seconds pass, and you feel yourself coming back down to Earth. You lazily stretch out on the bed, completely relaxed and fucked out. âThatâs so cute⌠we came at the same time, babeâ, you happily whisper, a ditsy smile on your face.
He huffs, amused âYeah⌠what can I say? Iâm a romantic at heartâ.
You laugh sincerely. âThis was⌠so good, actually. Iâm glad I gave into my instinct and called youâ.
âWell, Iâm even more sticky nowâ. You both laugh at that. âBut Iâm also glad you called⌠like, really glad. Uh, can I ask you something?â
You notice a shift in his voice.
âYeah⌠what is it?â
âI donât want things to get weird between us after this⌠Like, I donât want you to feel like you need to do all these things to get me off. You know what I mean? Itâs just a fantasy⌠Iâll have you in any way you want me. Okay?â
You feel a tightness in your chest, and you wish, not for the first time tonight, you had him right in front of you so you could kiss him all over and hug him.
âMikey⌠I genuinely liked tonight. And the more we talk, the more I like you. Youâre not the only one who feels like you won the lotteryâŚâ.
âBaby⌠youâre too sweet. Donât you think you already got me blushing enough for one night?â
âThatâs fucking rich. I mustâve gone through all shades of red tonight, because of your filthy mouthâ.
âPlease. You loved itâ, he chuckles.
âYeah, I guess I didâ, you concede, with a smile.
After saying goodbye â and confirming that yes, you would very much like for him to pick you up and take you to dinner later â you fall asleep fast, your mind finally catching up to the pleasant tiredness in your body, a soft smile on your lips.
