spring rolls and stocks

jamie tartt x fem!reader

cw : none x

𝐧𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

while you definitely enjoyed dressing up for events, the events themselves almost always turned out to be boring.

and the event you had attended with jamie tonight was one of the many boring events you daydreamed through, thinking only of your pyjamas and a thai takeaway when you went home.

unfortunately you were pulled from your wistful daydream by the feeling of jamie's hand on your leg

you had zoned out during a speech being given by the organiser of the event you were currently suffering through.

you turned your attention towards him, a soft smile instinctively taking form on your lips at the sight of jamie.

his responding smile just made your stomach flutter.

" wanna grab some drinks ?" he suggested, and you were glad that you weren't the only one who was clearly bored. it was especially clear since both of your drinks were over half way full.

" absolutely " you replied almost instantly, grabbing your clutch and standing from your chair, jamies hand resting softly on the small of your back as the two of you made your way to the bar at the back of the venue.

you ordered yourself another one of the same drink that was sat on the table, but you would much rather nurse it at the bar than down it at the table and listen to the dud stood on the stage rambling about stocks.

you leant against the bar with a sigh, hearing a soft chuckle come from jamie at your reaction.

" is this really worth it ? 3 hours of this for a couple hundred quid in a bond we don't know how to use ?" you joked, taking your drink the moment it was set down in front of you and taking a swig.

" definitely not " he replied, thanking the bartender and taking a sip of his beer .

you turned your attention towards the front of the venue for a moment when there was a small round of applause, some other boring guy coming onto the stage to continue waffling on about stocks.

you were pulled from the boredom by the feeling of a pair of hands on your waist, causing your entire face to light up.

it lit up even further when you felt jamie's arms wrap around you and his face pressed into the crook of your neck.

" while that bloke was chattin' all i could think about was gettin' you home, gettin' ya out of this dress, and ordering takeaway "

your hands lifted to rest onto of his, practically wrapping yourself around his arms and tilting your head back against his chest.

" that sounds amazing... how long until we can duck out ?" you questioned, knowing he had a bit of a responsibility to be here. you didnt want to get him in trouble because you were bored.

" well, i'm thinking, this guy will be done in two minutes and we can slip out when everyone runs to the bar for refill's " he suggested, causing you to let out a soft laugh.

" perfect " was your simple reply.

the two of you remained stood at the bar, jamie's arms wrapped around your torso while the speech continued for what seemed like forever, but was probably only another 4 minutes.

the minute that everyone started coming towards the bar, the two of you headed for the exit, avoiding many glances your way as you climbed into the passenger seat of jamie's car.

the moment he dropped into his seat, his hand fell to rest on your thigh as he drove away from the venue and towards his house.

when you got in, you both began undressing almost instantly, both in your underwear when you got to his bedroom.

jamie laid on the bed while you stood infront of his mirror, removing your makeup.

" you want pad thai, babe ?" he questioned

" and vegetable spring rolls " you added, tossing your dirty cotton pad into the trash and joining him on the bed, your head resting on his shoulder.

" twenty five minutes " he stated, setting his phone down on the bed next to him, moving his arm to wrap around your shoulders with his head now rested against yours.

" mint " you added, settling into the brief silence between the two of you.

both of your fingers seemed to move on their own accord, jamie dancing down your side, yours drawing mindless shapes on his chest and watching as it rose and fell with every breath he took.

the ring of the doorbell was the thing that broke you both from your moment.

Security Measures—Part 7: A Sh*tload of Work

Summary: Yelena introduces a morning routine, Cub needs to make a quick decision, and the fuller picture pulls more into focus.

Warnings: dark-ish, sub-themes of human trafficking, heavy pet play

Word Count: ~2,900

A/N: The next couple chapters are going to get a tiny bit angsty. Back to fluff schtuff in Part 10.

Tip of the hat to @scarlettwlw for letting me borrow the Widow AU Yelena. (So very appreciated!!!)

All previous parts in pinned post

After placing the muzzle to the side, Yelena runs her index finger over your smile. “You have some very strong teeth, cub.” She presses her finger in, parting your lips to explore your mouth one tooth at a time. Seconds seem to slow as your breath evens out, and you watch her. As she gets to the end of the top row, she moves down and inspects the lower set. You start tentatively lapping your tongue over her finger. When she allows you to continue, you close your eyes and inhale deeply, licking in earnest. You can’t help but start sucking to claim all the salt and taste of her.

Yelena’s eyes watch you intently as she begins thrusting her fingers in and out of your mouth in slow micro-movements. She pulls them out fully; you whimper and chase them with your tongue, rising on your elbows. She opens her hand and lets you lick broad strokes into her palm. You look up at her, blushing, and open your jaw wider...

YESTERDAY OVER LUNCH, NATASHA’S OFFICE

“I couldn’t help it.”

“So, you bought the damn store?”

Yelena grinned, “I bought the damn store.”

Natasha stabs her chopsticks in the air at Yelena, “And you are shameless about it!”

Yelena shrugs and takes a sip of her tea. “The thing about it is that I know they will be so appreciative. No, not like that,” Yelena tosses a sauce packet at her sister’s head. “No, they are going to legitimately appreciate the gifts. It makes buying and giving so much easier. I don’t have to agonize if this is the little thing that matches all the other little things they already have. They will just—enjoy. That, and they needed a vest.”

“So many pockets?”

“Nataaasha! I’m trying to be serious here for fucking once. I see a shitload of work ahead for us, but I… I just don’t care. I want to do it.”

“Okay, okay.” Natasha leans forward.

“Don’t.” Yelena ducks her head to look down into her Pad Thai, grabbing a rogue peanut.

“What?” Natasha bites back the smile threatening to take over her whole face.

“Don’t.” Yelena looks up and warns. “You are going to give me some big sister pet-owner speech.”

“It’s just that you are legitimately in puppy love. It’s just so cute!”

“Gaaaah!” Yelena internally starts pulling out her meditation techniques. “Let’s just get into the Reznikov briefing. There are two locations that I would like to go over for continued surveillance.”

“Okay, puppy lover.”

“YOU are the LITERAL PUPPY LOVER HERE!!”

“So cute when you are riled.” Natasha dodges the last sauce packet.

#### THIS MORNING, YELENA’S APARTMENT

You don’t know what wakes you, but there’s a reindeer butt in your face. You rise from the pillow, shake your head, and focus on the fluffy backside. You recognize the plushie as one of the many gifts from Yelena last night. She brought in a new vest, muzzle, hood, sunnies, three leashes, a harness enough to fit your broad shoulders, and a Nerf gun for fetching. Along with this treasure trove came a tiny reindeer with big eyes and a red nose that instantly had you surging forward and biting to carry it around in your mouth proudly for the rest of the night.

You were allowed to bring it to bed—Yelena’s bed. No nightmares, no stomachaches; she just patted her thigh when she got up from the couch, and you both went to sleep in her comfy bed. You sigh happily.

You use the back of your hand to clear the sleep from your eyes. You catch the sound of Yelena’s feet coming back from the ensuite. She pulls the covers from you, “Aww, is the puppy sleepy? Get up! We’ve got training.

Training! You love training! You roll up on all fours, ready and wriggling. You start getting down from the bed, then take a moment to grab the reindeer.

####

When she meets you at the door, she’s in a black sports bra and matching high-waisted shorts. Her hair is in a neat blonde plait down her back. She helps you into your vest, which feels good and snug, and clips in your muzzle and a leash to your collar. Your eyes are alight at the thought of leaving the apartment with her.

“Cub, we are going to the playroom down the hall. Melina called last night to share research showing that HK-9s do their best when ‘they lead active lives that engage their bodies, minds, and emotions.’ This means we must find ways to exercise daily to wring out the energy from your little wiggly body.” She makes little fish lips at you and rubs under your chin. “I know you want to get out the door and work, but it’s too dangerous right now. Therefore, playroom. We go.”

Yelena guides you out her door and over the polished concrete, but then she leads you right and walks you down the hall. Your excitement triples so that you have difficulty walking in a straight line. She gives one quick yank of the chain leash, and you straighten out, your tongue lolling out of your mouth, belying your happiness.

Yelena stops at a reinforced steel door, takes care of the security, and pushes the door open, revealing a substantial studio with padded black mats on the floor. You walk in, look around, and take inventory: a weight set and squat rack, targets along the walls, heavy bags, and a few martial arts dummies. You look back at her in awe and catch her watching you. She grins.

As you both warm up, she insists you stretch all the major muscle groups, and she talks through her routine. You enjoy how her voice grows from rough from sleep to low and melodic as she speaks in long sentences that you can’t fully understand. You just do your best trying to match her positions.

You face one another to begin sparring. Your eyes widen as Yelena drops to her haunches and offers a small play bow.

A smile lights up your face. You know what that means! You reciprocate by spreading your arms out in front of you and ducking your chin in your own play bow.

Back with your former trainer, Zarro, you learned that play bows are dogs’ way of telling their playmates that they mean no harm. It’s a specific signal that says, “I want to play with you—I don’t want to fight with you or eat you or dominate you.” The canine playbook is underpinned by a set of four rules for play that dogs in the program generally understood and adhered to.

Rule One: Ask first. You should always gain the attention of a potential play partner, and only when both dogs are looking and agree with a bow play can commence.

Rule Two: Remember to mind your manners. Don’t bite too hard. Don’t slam into another dog too hard. Go all-out in proportion to your partners, but show self-restraint to ensure you don’t inflict injuries.

Rule Three: Admit when you’re wrong. If you bite too hard, pull back. Check in and acknowledge that something went wrong. Afterward, bow again and hope the other dog says, “Okay, I trust you. Let’s play.”

The final rule is the most important.

Rule Four: Be honest. Don’t ask another dog to play and then violate the rules. It’s important to play fairly and in good faith. Honesty keeps the integrity of the pack intact.

This play framework snaps into place in your mind as Yelena slowly rises to her feet and begins circling you. You feel a swell of… giddiness? Joy? You force yourself to relax and breathe. “Easy there, cub. Settle in,” she says calmly.

As you get to know her sparring style, you keep your arms forward and don’t show much initiative. You concentrate on keeping your legs away from her for the easy sweep and actively avoid her grips to keep yourself from being thrown.

It didn’t take you long to understand that she was a combat master. After her third consecutive takedown, this time with an Imari Roll, you began using your sprawl and weight advantage.

You give a few warm-up touches in the next reset and then catch her arm. Instead of breaking it, you give it a quick peck with your muzzle. She pulls up and twists, stepping over you faster than your eyes can track without your enhancements, and catches you in an arm bar. She nips at the interior of your elbow and gives a smug chuckle.

Reset. You start on the offensive and flare your leg out to catch her. Miss. You turn and wheel yourself up, using your arms to uprock over her sweep. As she meets you on her knees, she lunges and quickly covers the ground for a slide kick. You dodge easily and then land in a squat with a grin.

Yelena raises her hand, palm to you in the “hold” sign as she stands, shaking out her legs. She motions for you to stand as well. You raise your eyebrows. You cautiously look around. She snaps and signs, “up.” You carefully rise on your feet. You feel a little unsteady, but she gives you a few moments. You finally give her a play bow to signal that you are ready to resume in this new position.

Yelena gives no quarter to your wobbly legs. Instead, she finds your back and presses her chest against you, gripping her hands with arms around your neck and under your shoulder. Classic Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. She hooks her feet inside your legs and establishes firm control. You drop and peel back so that you a pressing her to the floor, still careful not to crush her with your weight. You realize your mistake when she switches her grip for a rear choke hold.

####

The chin locks and hip tosses went on like this for more than an hour until she rolled you and maneuvered into a full mount, her body over yours. You quickly tilt your hips and press her forward to knock her off balance. To regain control, she hooks her legs in the insides of your shins. It’s an excellent position to immobilize any opponent. She taps the outside of your thigh, and you look up at her, smiling.

Yelena narrows her eyes, trying to regain her breath. “Very good, cub.” You swallow and redden, panting just as hard. She tilts her head, hums softly, and unsnaps the cage of your muzzle.

After placing the mask to the side, Yelena runs her index finger over your smile. “You have some very strong teeth, cub.” She presses her finger in, parting your lips to explore your mouth one tooth at a time. Seconds seem to slow as your breath evens out, and you watch her. As she gets to the end of the top row, she moves down and inspects the lower set. You start tentatively lapping your tongue over her finger. When she allows you to continue, you close your eyes and inhale deeply, licking in earnest. You can’t help but start sucking to claim all the salt and taste of her.

DING! You stiffen and jerk your head to the door when you hear the elevator stop. “Aurelia.” You look back to Yelena, and you’re disappointed that she has brought her hands down. She smiles softly and briefly strokes the side of your neck, then pushes her palm into your shoulder and forces herself up to stand. She murmurs, “Come, cub. We need to get ready for the day.”

You groan as she makes to leave, but you quickly heel at her side.

####

Aurelia was chattering away, telling you so, so many things. You could grab a few words from the stream of dialogue, but you mostly tried to concentrate on the ingredients she includes while she cooks.

When you and Yelena met her at the door, Aurelia carried a large basket and three smaller bags. You had discretely run your nose above the basket, but deciphering what was within was hard.

You quickly got distracted by what you were cataloging as Yelena’s morning routine. You were worried that she would leave you again, so you were extra vigilant as you watched her emerge out of her shower, brush her teeth, put on a gel to mask the smell of her armpits—which you thought was a tragedy—and dress for the day. This did not bode well. The one glimmer of hope was when she spoke to you, but then you realized it was about a bath tonight. You shivered. Baths were nasty and brutish with cold spray and a rough brush. But, if Yelena wanted you to get clean, you would do your best to stand still while the water jets nearly removed the top layer of your skin.

After Yelena left, it took you about an hour to get up from your spot at the front door. You didn’t want to disturb the kiss she left on your forehead until you could no longer feel it. You sighed and silently moved to the dining room to sit and watch Aurelia typing on her laptop. She glanced up after a few minutes, finally noticing you were there, “How are you, cub?” She quirked an eyebrow at what must have been your mournful expression. “That bad, mm?”

She got up and moved in front of you. “What do you say we make something to eat, eh?”

Once in the kitchen, she opened the lid of the basket she brought and let you inspect the tops of the small bottles and canisters inside. You peered at them curiously, and she let you smell each one as she added the ingredients to the collection of boiling pots and stewing pans.

It was ama—

Suddenly, a blast goes off in the hallway. BOOM.

####

A loud, high-pitched screech rips through your auditory enhancements from acoustic feedback. Then it clears. You snap into action, barrel towards the door, and position yourself to fortify the entrance. You quickly check Aurelia, look at the balcony, and then listen for what you can glean from the lobby.

The building's fire emergency system starts to light up.

Aurelia immediately moves to press a button under the kitchen island. She puts on baking gloves, grabs the roast in the oven, and slides it quickly and safely onto the stove. She then turns off the range and all elements and runs over to the foyer, looking through the peephole. “The general rule in high-rise buildings is to stay inside the apartment unless you see flames. Well, I see flames, cub!”

Aurelia grabs a leash on the side of the jam and tests the door for heat. She unlocks the security and opens the door cautiously. “Fuck!” You can both see smoke billowing out of the elevator, the doors blown and bulging in a convex shell left from the blast.

You take two steps, and Aurelia stops abruptly. “Fuck me! KEYS! Just a second, cub; if we have to come back and don’t have them, we’ll be completely FUCKED.” As she returns for the house keys, you look over the scene, judge that you have an extra second, and dart back into the apartment to pick up your reindeer in the foyer.

On her way back through, Aurelia grabs your leash and pulls you toward the stairs. She tests the door and ushers you through once she determines it to be safe. The fire suppression system hits and unleashes the sprinkles. As she opens the heavy fire door, the lights and intercom are even louder in the confined space of the stairwell. She looks down at you on your knees, then over at the stairs. Worried, she yells, “How are we going to manage this?”

You are already moving forward to take a look over the steps. Not a bad drop. You look back at her and think it might be best to show, not tell. You gently tug the leash out of her hand, then walk to the first step and smoothly vault off the edge. You land easily in a crouch on the lower landing, sliding just a little as the water pours down on you both. You nod your head for her to hurry up.

Aurelia huffs, “Jerk! I thought I was going to have to carry you!” She wastes no more time, grabbing the handrail and guiding herself down.

You work as a team like that, leap-frogging the quarter-turn stairs while Aurelia hugs every railing. You were happy that you had trained with Yelena this morning to warm up your body. Yelena. You didn’t like that she was away from you, but you sure as hell didn’t want her here. You begin to hear echoes of people rising from the stairwell—more and more bodies funneling into the space.

When you hit the first floor of the service elevator entrance, Aurelia doesn’t stop until she was running out to the valet area where Mikhail, her lover, by the smell of him, was emerging from a Bugatti. A frantic man shoves past him to get in and gun the engine. Mikhail folds Aurelia into his arms and pulls her away to the street. You protest, dropping your stuffed animal, moving after them, and trying to shepherd them back under the relative safety of the overhang. You push and nip to walk them back.

Just then, three shots catch your ears. You didn’t even have a chance to jerk your head to get a look at the snipers before it all went black.

####

STREET-LEVEL, YELENA’S APARTMENT

“Definitely a hit, boss,” says Ingrid, her ops supervisor, softly. “The damage was localized to the one floor of the apartment building, yours. Two humans and one HK-9 were tranq’ed from above. The HK-9 was hauled away in an unmarked truck by four unknown assailants dressed as first responders.”

“Yelena? They left this on the street. Would you like it?” Sonja held out a water-soaked reindeer stuffed animal.

Yelena’s only response is to take the toy by the neck and set her jaw.

I do like some thai curries (shoutout to red duck curry for when i used to eat birds more, its lovely with almost any vegetarian subs u can imagine) but they have gotten too much exposure in other parts of the world, just like pad thai and tom kha. theres way better to try imo. like those little northern thai sausages that are juicy and fragrant with chilli and lemongrass. and any of the bbq seafood/pork lettuce wraps, nam phrik, and isaan salads... mmm

Quick & Easy Pad Thai Recipe With Muscovy Hen Duck Breast

There’s nothing like a good pad thai. It’s definitely one of my ultimate comfort foods, but I don’t always feel like ordering takeout or going out to a Thai restaurant. Not to mention, I’ve noticed that I don’t always feel my best after eating some renditions of this delicious meal. I love making homemade versions of my favorite takeout foods, and this is a nice and easy pad thai that doesn’t take too long to make. And the best part is, it’s with duck breast. None of the restaurants in my area offer pad thai with duck breast, so I have no choice but to make my own. Luckily, premium meat delivery makes it easy to get our Muscovy hen duck breast. The duck is so tasty with it and the juicy, succulent meat makes it such a satisfying meal.

Ingredients:

🍴 4oz rice noodles 🍴 1 large shallot, minced 🍴 4 cloves of garlic, minced 🍴 ¾ inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and minced 🍴 2 free range chicken or duck eggs, lightly beaten and seasoned with sea salt 🍴 about ½ lb Muscovy Hen Duck Breast, cooked according to the instructions here (this is a great way to use any leftover duck breast – available from our online meat delivery) 🍴 Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 🍴 High heat cooking oil like bison tallow or avocado oil 🍴 Chopped roasted peanuts, scallions and a lime cut into wedges for garnish

To make the sauce:

🍴 3 tablespoons fish sauce 🍴 3 tablespoons coconut sugar 🍴 3 tablespoons rice vinegar 🍴 Splash of soy sauce. https://bit.ly/36VZOhv

(alastgoodnight) Naomi's not an amazing cook like Lo is, but she's pretty good with vegetables! She likes to make a stir fry with red+yellow bell peppers, white mushrooms, broccoli and sugar snap peas. She makes the sauce from scratch. Her other favorite is tempura cauliflower.

°✩₊˚.⋆ @starfoam. meme. still accepting!

vi is gonna need to try this cuz he loves a red and yellow bell pepper. and a tempura?! he doesnt get tempura anything much often, maybe on the weekends when he orders out, but never super fresh and like. right there.

so my fact for a fact!

virote has a favorite thai stir fry called pad prik king...! red curry stir-fry with chicken! chicken and cruncy long beans in a salty, sweety red curry paste with a salted duck egg… sometimes its a soy sauce marinated egg with crunchy chili onion. it has to have makrut lime leaves!!! one of those meals that he makes when it's morning and he just wants something good to eat for the rest of the day. cuz he can pair it with roti or a fresh salad with just arugula. he always has a lot of jasmine rice w. a little vinegar too.. yuh.

if ur spending the night at vi's this is probably waiting in the fridge for u the next morning.

#*･༓☾ about! a shimmer in the night.#alastgoodnight #/ stir-fry trade tbh.
