I love his lil pout ๐ค
Pairing: Coriolanus Snow x Reader.
Warning: Implied cheating.
Summary: You've been engaged to Coriolanus Snow for a few short weeks and have been living together for even shorter but, the betrothal is put through its first test when Coriolanus's affair makes itself known. Part (1/2).
Wordcount: 1.3k.
A/N: This takes place in the 'You Keep Him There' universe. A couple of months before Christmas Kiss. Please tell me you catch the Yellowstone reference.
11 months ago.
The stone bench cuts into the skin of your exposed thigh, one leg crossed over the other as your arm rests along the back of the garden seat. Goosebumps cover the length of your body; remnants of last nightโs cold snap are still evident as the icy blanket that covers the Manorโs grounds slowly melt away with the slow rising sun.ย
Of course, the cold was of no concern. Not when you had your new found habit to keep you warm.ย
Taking a drag from the lit cigarette between your fingers, your gaze is unwavering as you stare down the anxious chauffeur who had pulled into the driveway of your new home at the same time that you did - belonging neither to you or Coriolanus.
It had taken you all of 30 seconds to piece together what was going on and who the car belonged to - after all, you werenโt supposed to be home until the afternoon. You arenโt surprised Coriolanus would do this but, it doesnโt make it hurt any less; doesnโt temper the green eyed monster threatening to rear its ugly head.
Sure, you didnโt like him but, the two of you had known each other your entire lives; would marry in less than a year, he belonged to you- you'd hoped those things would at least mean something to him too but, it doesnโt and again, that doesnโt surprise you but, you are disappointed. Disappointed that he would bring this into your home.
The chauffeur fiddles with the cuffs of his sleeves, unsure of where to look as his gaze shifts nervously between you and the front doors until finally, they open and he relaxes slightly, eager to escape the weight of your stare as he wrenches the car door open for his passenger.ย
You watch, hidden from their view as she emerges from your home, bidding farewell to your fiance. Crushing the cigarette, you wait until sheโs about to enter the car to make your presence known.ย
โI always suspected there may be something more between the two of you but, to become his mistress?โ You stand, making your way over to her.ย
Stopping a metre out, you drag your gaze lazily over her figure until you meet her own surprised one.ย
โMy, my, Clemensia, I never expected that from you,โ you tut. โAlthough, I wonโt lie. After yourโฆ stint in the hospital back in our academy days, I didnโt think heโd ever look at you again.โย
She flinches at your words but it doesnโt keep her down for long. The red-eyed, puffy-cheeked beauty straightening her back and puffing her chest with an air of arrogance that you did not appreciate.ย
โWhat are you doing here?โ
โWhat am I doing here?โ you repeat, laughing at the nerve of her. โClemensia, this is my house. I can come and go as I please but, you? Well, we are going to have a problem if I see you around here again.โ
"You can't stop me. He was mine first."
You take an intimidating step closer.ย
โYou want to sleep with Coriolanus? Fine. Thatโs your choice but, not in my house. Affairs are for hotels not homes, and if you ever step foot in mine again, I will make sure you never take another step again. Got it?โ
She swallows thickly but nods her understanding.ย
"Good. Now get off of my property before, I have you removed from it."
You donโt wait for her to go, sights immediately set on the fool you were to take as your husband in less than a year.
โCoriolanus,โ you yell, throwing the doors open, anger finally revealing itself. โCoriolanus!โ
You find him sitting at the head of the dining table, looking equally as surprised as his whore to see you. Unlike her however, heโs quick to hide it.ย
โWhen did you-โ
โYou keep your whores out of my house, Coriolanus,โ you warn him. โYou keep your whores out of my house or I will teach you a lesson that I promise you will never forget.โ
-
You spend the rest of the day sleeping, too tired from the morning's events and traveling to do anything else but rest, so itโs dark out by the time you leave your room.ย
Padding down the staircase, your tummy makes its hunger known, growling out for anyone awake to hear. Sleepily, you make your way to the kitchen, not noticing the dim light emitting from the space until you're already inside with an unwanted guest.ย
You look at him for a moment, thinking about whether to tuck tail and turn away or continue on your journey for food- your stomach makes your decision for you however, when it growls again.ย
Coriolanus is the first to speak. โThere's a plate in the fridge for you.โย
You donโt acknowledge him, opening the fridge in silence and indeed finding the plate of food inside. You pretend heโs not there as you move around the kitchen to warm your food up. When everything is ready, you take a seat at the kitchen bench- itโs then that Coriolanus decides to speak again.
โI think we should talk about this morning.โ
โWe have,โ you answer him, tone clipped. โAnd I told you not to bring your whores into my house again.โ
โThatโs not what I mean.โ
You breathe a laugh of disbelief. Was it not enough to discover what you did this morning now, he wanted to discuss it too? Picking up your plate, you make to leave- there were other rooms in this place that you could eat peacefully in.ย
โItโs over-โ he follows after you, blocking your path. โMe and Clemmie. I ended things with her.โ
โClemmie,โ you scoff the name. โHow very considerate of you. Does she know that?โ
โShe does and I didnโt end it because of what happened this morning- I ended things weeks ago. Sheโs just having a hard time letting go but, I promise it is. Iโm with you.โ
You pause- pinching the bridge of your nose.
โYou shouldโve ended it months ago, well before we even got engaged.โ
โI know. Iโm sorry.โย
You nod but don't forgive him and he uses your silence to keep talking.ย
โI want to make this work, I want us to get along, I want-โ he hesitates, taking your free hand. โI want you to like me.โย
โWhat makes you think I donโt?โ
โYou made it very clear in the Academy that you donโt, I doubt your opinion of me has changed much since.โย
You smile bitterly down at your joined hands. Your dislike for Coriolanus in school differed vastly from why you disliked him now.ย ย
You wonder if it would ever be possible to like Coriolanus Snow now.ย
It was hard to see the possibility when your entire being now depended on marrying him. Your grandparents had already loved him, he was Old Guard, cut from the same cloth and as he got older, they saw the future in Coriolanus Snow, future president of Panem. And that was before the proposal was even brought to them. Once it wasโฆ they would be damned if you married anyone else. When you attempted to go against it, they had made it known that they were more than willing to reduce you to nothing; taking steps to ensure you couldnโt refuse by hinging your inheritance of the Blizzard Telecommunications and Mass Media Empire and wealth on marrying him. Coriolanus Snow had snatched any freedom or hope for the future you envisioned for yourself away from you and he didnโt even know it.ย
Maybe one day youโd move past it or maybe one day he'd accept that you never would but, for now you settle for โmaybe you can start with buying me a new house.โ
Coriolanus chuckles but you're being serious and he agrees, "soon."
โAnd Coriolanus?โ
โYeah?โ
โI don't ever want to see you with Clemensia Dovecote again. I donโt take kindly to those who you would threaten to take what is mine. Green is not my colour and, I promise you wonโt like seeing me in it either.โ

sleep well tonight, lt. curtis biddick
pairing: lt. curtis โcurtโ biddick x black fem oc
content: curtis isnโt a writer, but heโll do whatever it takes to keep in contact with his wife during the water.
an: thanks to @turn-thy-paige, weโve got some new content. thank you for the ideas!
Curtis wasnโt much of a writer. Most of his expression came verbally through run-on sentences or curt responses. But that wasnโt so easy being thousands of miles away from home with no access to a telephone. He hated writing, but he did it for her. Heโd do anything for her.
The barracks were quiet. Most of the men had fallen asleep long before he had. The sky was dark, like a blanket had covered the sun. The sounds of wolves howling in the distance and insects chirping in the grass were a gentle melody to his ears.
Curtis tapped the blank paper on the bedside table and brought a pen in his hand. Slowly, he began to write.
Hey honey,
Itโs been a long day. Iโve been awake for almost 24 hours and I still canโt seem to go to sleep. Crazy, right? Iโll try my best once I finish this letter.
How have you been? I hope youโre keeping that beautiful smile on your face and staying in the highest of hopes. I miss you dearly. Itโs hard to sleep without you; but I guess thatโs what happens when youโve been married to someone for so long. Iโll be back soon, believe me.
Howโs the baby doing? Iโm hoping this will all be over by the time you go into labor. I try not to think about the possibility of me missing the birth of my son. And yes, itโs a boy and you canโt fight me on it, either. I canโt wait to see what he looks like. Will he have my eyes and your curly hair? Or will he surprise us both and look like a distant family member? Who knows; Iโll love him just the same.
The newbies are interesting to work with. Every time they put on their gear, they start shaking like a leaf. Their fantasies are gone and reality has sunk in. War isnโt for the weak. To be a soldier is more than saluting the flag and shooting guns. Itโs a way of life. But, it gets tiresome.
Iโm getting tired now and my hand is starting to cramp, but, whatever you do, keep the faith and rest easy. Iโll be home before you know it.
Sleep well tonight.
Love yours forever,
Curt
I am jealous of those who think more deeply, who write better, who draw better, who look better, who live better, who love better than I.
-Sylvia Plath
Leave me on the side of the road, pack up my bags and toss them right over, forget the scent of my clothes in your car, pry me out of the depths of your mind, breathe new life into our room we shared, I don't want to know of your new found joy, please be wary of my bare cold shoulders, for the night is harsh on me

Innocently enough you were actually supposed to be doing something on campus. Yet here you are currently with your dress rucked around your waist, tongue kissing and grinding on your Blonde Babeโข๏ธ boyfriend.
Sorrows and prayers to your responsibilities.
Heโs not even supposed to be in your room. Inside a strict all girl dormitory with rules against โgentleman callersโ and such. Your concern for that, however, goes out the window when you feel his big rough hands feel up your body, thumbs teasing your hard nipples through your dress and trail down, squeezing your ass. He feels so good. And heโs so prettyโฆgod you need him to ruin you.
โMmmh- Joe-โฆโ, you moan softly, pulling away from the kiss to look at him. Bad idea.
His half-lidded blue eyes are nearly black, lips swollen and shiny. โWanna stop?โ, he breathes out, the husk in his already deep voice adds to the heat inside of you.
โNo-!โ, stopping was the LAST thing you wanted, โI just wanna be on top this timeโ, having to choke the words out because of him suddenlu sucking wetly all over your throat. Moaning when his broad tongue licks up your jaw before slotting his plump lips over yours, kissing you deeply. Distantly aware of the fact that youโre dripping all on him as your eyes roll back into your skull. Body hot with every pulse of your cunt.
Joe isnโt opposed to you being on top but, youโre already so fucked out just from a little kissing and humpingโฆ
โMmm okay. Sโfine with meโ, and thatโs your green light as his voice paired with his gaze sends you into a frenzy.
Clothes canโt come off fast enough.
Heโs so effortlessly hot that itโs unfair. And honestly, thatโs how you two got like this. It was all his fault really. Sexy blonde hair, the constant bedroom eyes, goddamn tall, focused, and easygoing demeanor.
Naked and ready to rock his world, you give him a quick peck insisting you donโt need prep when he asks. Which is usually necessary since heโs so big all around. Broad chest and shoulders, thick muscled arms, thighs, and massive hands. Your fingers barely touch when you wrap them around him but itโs fine. You look up but heโs already looking at you.
โYโneed me to help ya put it in?โ
Fuck, shit, hell, damnit, thatโs the last straw and you sink down on him.
Gasping, it burns as he stretches you out, like actually hurts, but it hurts in the best way possible. Moaning in unison, Joe grabs your waist tight, suckling wet kisses all over your chest, breathing in your sweet scent.
You smell so good that he wishes he could bend you over and eat you every day.
The pleasure that rips through you has you gasping while you roll your hips and start riding him. His cock hits every spot as it fucks into your sopping cunt over and over. Your eyes water but you keep them on anything but him because the way he looks at you is too much. Itโs bad enough that youโre so soaked itโs audible. Wet smacks, heavy breathing, and your near crying as Joe slams you down on his fat cock.
Sometimes heโs gentle but when you get like this he really canโt bother to be. Such a tight, soaked, little hole, with your mischievous doe eyes and sweet smilesโฆteasing him. Always such a cheeky little thing but it all stopped when he got you like this.
The groan that comes out of his mouth is sinful as he feels your walls pulse erratically around him. Youโre close.
Grabbing your cheeks, he makes you look at him. The cockdrunk, dazed look on your face inspires something dangerous in him and he grinds his fat tip against that special spot inside you, hissing at the gush of slick that follows.
โFuck me, thatโs it. Yโgonna make a mess huh? Yeah. I know you areโฆcuz sheโs squeezing me so tightโ, he whispers hotly against your lips, taking the rough pad of his thumb to wreak havoc against your aching clit. Looking straight into your teary blown eyes as you cry for him.
โShhh, itโs okayโฆthatsss it..cum for me sweetness. Let me have it babyโ. Joeโs sultry low voice with the way he strums your swollen stuffed pussy makes you orgasm so hard it hurts. Whining and screaming through the almost endless waves of white hot pleasure, you donโt even notice Joe swearing, brows furrowed, biting his lip at the ring of cream around his base. Thereโs a possibility the whole dorm heard you and by the end of it, youโre boneless.
By the tume you come down, it takes a minute for the change of position to click until you see Joe above you. Smiling, he leans down and kisses the corner of your mouth where you had drooled when he evicted your soul from your body, licking his lips after. (Like this man is a freak and I wonโt hear otherwise)
โWait-! Did youโฆ?โ, your hoarse question doesnโt linger in the air too long but Joeโs answer has that heat stirring up again.
โNoโฆbut donโt worry. I will, nโ this time, Iโll be on topโฆ.because I wanna watch it leak out of ya when I do. Sโthat okay, baby?โ He swears heโs never been this hard in his life as he looks down at you dreamily. Soft, warm, and sated. Fuck.
But you? Are reeling.
Where did he learn how to talk like that?
Nodding weakly, itโs โwhatever you wantโ. Gasping when he smacks the thick head of his tip on your clit, you spread your shaky legs wider. Ready for round 2 and thatโs his cue.
Getting between your legs, folding your knees to your chestโฆ.
โSo don't tap out on me just yet.โ
Okay but Billy with an innocent reader>>>>>>>> LIKE HES SO PROTECTIVE OML
billy + innocent!reader
stop i love this. this should be an au hell i may just write more for it
twโ for use of a gun, toothrotting fluff
request
"go ahead, honey. pull the trigger." billy's voice is sweet against your ear.
your face morphs into a coy apprehension, "and you're sure this won't send me flying on my rear?"
he chuckles, straightening your arms a bit, "m'right here, i won't let that happen."
your eyes focus in on the three rusty cans in the distance, set atop a dry rotting log. you know there's no way you're going to hit them all. you'd be lucky to hit one.
but billy is adamant in both that you need to learn how to shoot, and that youโll be a โnaturalโ. his driving objective, however, being that since he can't be with you from sun up to sun down, he'll have to settle with teaching you how to fend for yourself.
it's not unlike him to behave this way. in the months you've known the gunslinger, you've come to find that his urge to protect you is enormous.
his protection isn't reserved just against the infamous wild men of the west, but rather, anything and anyone. if it could possibly do you harm, physically or mentally, he's there to guard and defend.
like a knight out of the princess tales your mother used to tell you.
you let out a harsh breath before your finger begins to press into the trigger. too soft at first, the metal remains in its' spot, you muster up all your courage and pull the trigger. your eyes are screwed shut as the bullet whistles away, and you quickly turn into billy.
his arms ensnare you, wrapping you tight, "what're you hidin' for? you hit it dead center, sweetheart!"
you lift your head, staring unabashedly into his blue eyes, "did i really?"
he hums, using his dominant hand to steer your gaze away from him and toward the target. sure enough, the can on the left side has a small hole right in its middle.
billy chuckles, his chest rumbling against your back, "told you, my girl's a natural."
you can't help but grin, the tension releasing from your shoulders, "or i've got a good teacher." you tease.
he gives you a squeeze before letting go, gesturing toward the cans, "c'mon, let's see if you can do it again."
emboldened by your first success, you square your shoulders and take aim. this time, you focus a bit more, remembering the sensation of the recoil and trying to replicate it. the shot rings out, and you open your eyes to find another can hit.
billy lightly claps you on the back, "see? just like that, sweetheart."
as you reload, you can't help but appreciate the way the afternoon sun plays on his weathered hat, casting thin rays upon his lips, "mโnot as hopeless as i thought."
he grins, a mischievous glint in his eyes, "do i eโver lie to you?โ
you ignore his sly remark, focusing back in on your targets. with newfound confidence, you continue to practice, the rhythmic sound of gunshots filling the air. as the sun begins its descent, casting a warm glow over the landscape.
the sounds of gunfire continue, each shot feeling more controlled and confident than the last. with every successful hit, billy's pride in your progress shines through his loving stare. he stands by your side, offering guidance and encouragement, a quiet guardian in the backdrop of your learning.
as the sun dips even lower, casting a dim hue over the landscape, you catch a glimpse of billy watching you with a softness in his eyes. he often got this way, completely lost in you. especially when you're doing things his wayโ not in the way you'd normally feel inclined. you're rather tame and harmless in comparison to billy, the entire west, really.
growing up away from the fast-growing townships and travelers, when you met billy he completely flipped your world upside down. you gave him all your firsts, shooting his pistol only adds to the expansive list of firsts you've given him.
you go to take aim again, eyes closing as you shoot, still too frightened to keep them openโ your bullet flies past your targets, missing entirely. you've grown used to the sound of a hit and when you open your eyes to find the miss, you groan.
billy's safeguarding nature becomes even more apparent as you meet his winsome eyes, his gaze lingers on you, subtle worry etched on his features.
he knows you're inexperienced, a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the world he's accustomed to. he knows it isn't, but if this were a shootout, that big of a miss would have cost you your life.
the mere thought of you in that situation is something he's not willing to entertain.
"you're doing mighty fine, sweetheart," he reassures, a tenderness in his voice that speaks volumes, "but remember, there's more to this than cans and targets. gotta keep those pretty eyes of yours open, alright?"
you nod, appreciating his concern and the earnest care he extends. it dawns on you that learning to shoot isn't just a practical skillโ it's a testament to the depth of billy's affection. he's arming you with more than just a handgunโ he's giving you a piece of his own resilience and determination.
as the sun sets, casting long shadows across the landscape, you take a moment to stand side by side with billy, appreciating the warmth of his presence. the sky paints hues of orange and pink, a picturesque backdrop to the bond that's been forged between you.
"thanks, billy," you say, sincerity lacing your words. "for teaching me, for being patient."
he smiles, a softness in his expression that contrasts with the rugged exterior, "my pleasure, sweetheart. always want you to be able to take care of yourself."
with the last rays of sunlight fading, you holster the gun, feeling a newfound sense of empowerment. billy wraps an arm around your shoulders, guiding you back towards the homestead. as you walk together, the echoes of gunshots in the ears serve as a reminder that you're not just learning to shootโ you're learning to navigate billy's world, and with his protection, you're sure you'll do just fine.
