nsfw | mdni | coryo x reader | oral (f), glasses coryo | modern au - law student coryo
note: this was rushed because i was half asleep while writing it so it sucks lol. pls give me feedback because your homegirl was not writing coherently
when you looked at your handsome boyfriend reading a case for an assignment, you couldn’t help but need him. he was wearing his glasses, something he usually doesn’t wear during the day. they framed his face so nicely, sitting at the bridge of his perfect nose, biting his plush lips as he read the case. coryo’s curls had fallen onto his forehead, hanging there as he read. you ached for him.
“coryo,” you broke the silence that had fallen upon you both for the past few hours.
coryo looked up from the case, looking over at you with his beautiful blue eyes. his glasses shined, a glare in the lenses from the light of the bedroom. and there you laid on the bed, dressed in a silk night gown with your legs spread. coryo quirked an eyebrow, licking his lips. “yes, baby?” he asked, noticing the fact that you weren’t wearing underwear.
“need you,” you said, biting your lip.
“yeah?”
“yeah.”
coryo couldn’t help but smirk. he knew how much his glasses turned you on. and he loved it. he closed his file, standing up from his desk to walk over to the bed. “how much do you need me, baby?” he asked, laying on his stomach on the bed between your legs. he pressed small kisses onto your thigh, his glasses frames touching your warm skin.
you brought your hand down to your pussy, using a finger to rub your slick up and down. “really bad, coryo,” you murmured.
coriolanus hummed, grabbing your hand and bringing your finger to his mouth to suck on the digit, tasting you on his tongue. it was very seductive, turning you on even more. you let out a shaky breath as coryo maintained eye contact with you. he took your finger out of his mouth, licking his lips. “you taste divine,” he murmured, lowering his head so that it was level with your pussy.
and without any notice or hesitation, coryo licked a strip from your hole to your clit, causing you to let out a small whine. coriolanus put his arms around your thighs, his hands landing on your hips to hold them down. he scooted you closer to his face. he licked your clit, tonguing the nub.
you let out a soft moan, reaching a hand to coryo’s hair. you felt coryo’s glasses resting against your pubic as coryo licked your clit. he was truly so amazing. you looked down at your boyfriend who’s eyes were closed as he relished in your cunt. his tongue made figure eights against you before he began sucking on your clit.
you tugged on coryo’s curls, causing him to moan against your cunt, sending vibrations. “oh,” you moaned, closing your eyes in pleasure. he began eating you out messily, burying his face in your cunt. “god i love your tongue,” you exclaimed, throwing your head back.
coryo hummed in response, eating you out thoroughly. his tongue hit all of the right places, making the heat build in your abdomen. “am already so close,” you whined.
coryo was practically french kissing your cunt, his tongue lapping up your juices while his lips moved as well. his nose occasionally grazed your clit, adding to the pleasure. “oh fuck!” you moaned out as your orgasm hit you, clenching your thighs around coryo’s face.
he didn’t seem to mind it, he never does. in fact, he’s stated on multiple times that if he suffocated between your thighs, at least he’d die a happy and satisfied man. in fact, as you clenched your thighs around his head, coryo moaned loudly against your pussy, adding to your orgasm.
your body shook as you arched your back, your eyes rolling to the back of your head. coryo ate you out through your orgasm. and when you finished, you relaxed, breathing heavily. coryo pulled away from your cunt to look up at you. his chin, lips, and nose were drenched from your juices. and with the glasses, he looked like an absolute sight to behold. you bit your lip, looking at your handsome boyfriend.
“i think it’s time you fucked me,” you whispered breathlessly.
coryo smirked. “i think so too, princess,” he replied, standing up and undressing himself.
the rest of the night was certainly spent with the glasses on and coryo’s cock inside of you.

Hello! don john x reader angst where the reader thinks her love is unrequited?
Nighttime Love
Don John x FEM!Reader
SUMMARY // You're visiting your uncle in Messina, and Don John catches your eye. Little do you know, you've caught his too..
TW // Angst, Fluff, Suggestive..
Ugh love this idea..
I made the English a bit more modern, cause God knows how confusing Shakespearian English can be😭😭
Also, thank you @scarlettspectra for letting me use your gif! You're such a sweetheart, I swear!!
Omg I hate this one.. this fucking sucks so bad.. I had so little ideas for this..
Tumblr media
"My dear, why would you be in love with a man such as himself? You know what he's done to Hero and Don Pedro.. to everyone!" your uncle whispers, concerned for your feelings.
Currently, you and your uncle are in a stone alleyway, as you had pulled him aside from the market to confess to him your feelings for the quiet, stone faced man known as Don John. You cry and shake your head.
"No, I know, Uncle! But my heart can't help but desire him.." you say, desperately trying to make him understand.
Your uncle sighs and nods in understanding, remembering when he had fell in love with his wife, a similar situation to yours.
"I know, my dear.. but you have to understand, he loves no one, he is a man who only desires one thing.. chaos," your uncle rubs your arms comfortingly.
You let out a shaky breath and let your head fall into your uncle's chest, knowing he was probably right. As you cry into his chest, his hands stroking your hair in comfort, neither of you notice a head peaking around the corner, listening in to your conversation.
Don John leans back on the wall, thinking for a moment before smirking and walking away, a slight bounce in his step. As he passes by the people in the market, they all stare at him, wondering what mischievious plan he would go through with next. With how happy he seemed, he had to be planning something.
And they were right, because the next day, a letter arrived at your uncle's abode, addressed to you. There was a time and a meeting place written on it, and no name.
'Tonight at 8, meet me in the center of the town garden. I'll be waiting.' - It wrote.
Your heart drops to your stomach in both fear and anticipation. You hide the letter from your uncle and go about your day before sneaking out at 8 to meet the mysterious sender.
Your room is on the lower level of the small two storey house, so sneaking out was quite easy, climbing through your window, your night gown nearly dragging on the ground as you run towards the garden bare foot, the cold dirt soft against your feet as the night brings a certain calm and cool.
Once you reach the garden, you stop running and walk through the maze, trying to remember the way to the center of it. You find yourself at a few dead ends before finally making your way to the center of the elaborate hedge maze.
You arrive to see nobody, your brows furrow in confusion and call out, announcing your presence to anyone who may be there.
"Ah.. sweet little (Y/n).. how lovely that you have followed my instructions.." a monotonous voice calls back, coming out from behind a large bush.
His short, black hair shone in the moonlight, along with his deep brown eyes. A smirk played on his bearded lips. It was Don John.
"My Prince.. to what do I owe the pleasure?" You laugh out of nervousness, blushing when you realize you're dressed quite indecently to be in front of a man of such stature, "ah.. forgive me for my indecency.. I came as soon as I could.." you mutter shyly.
Don John lets out a humourless chuckle and walks around you slowly, as if stalking his prey, sizing you up.
"No need to be sorry, sweet flower.. Seeing you like this is quite.. endearing," he smirks.
Your heartbeat quickens, looking anywhere but at him due to fear and embarrassment. You blush and cross your arms, knowing the cool air was most likely revealing your hardened nipples.
"Well? What have you called me for?" You ask, getting flustered and slightly annoyed.
He chuckles once more before coming up behind you, placing his hands on your waist, his lips brushing up against your ear. Chills run down your spine, whether from the wind or his hot breath in your ear, you couldn't tell, but you didn't mind it.
"I heard somewhere that a little lady fancies me.. Is that true, my sweet.. delicate.. flower.." he whispers hotly in your ear, sending a rush of warmth to your lower stomach.
You gulp and blush, unable to deny his words.
"Yes.. it's true.. What of it? It's not like you return those feelings.." you huff out, getting upset at your own thoughts.
"Mm.. and what if I told you those feelings were requited? What would you say? What would you do, little dove?" He nibbles at your ear teasingly.
You gasp and twist your head around so you can see him more out of your peripheral vision. Before you can answer, his lips are devouring yours hungrily, making you squeak and moan in surprise. He groans at your taste, biting your bottom lip sensually, turning you around so the front of your body is fully facing him.
He pulls away and licks your upper lip teasingly before leaning down to whisper in your ear once more.
"You're mine.. You're going to be my sweet princess.." He grins and grips your waist tightly.
What have you gotten yourself into..

it’s hilarious to me when people call historical fashions that men hated oppressive
like in BuzzFeed’s Women Wear Hoop Skirts For A Day While Being Exaggeratedly Bad At Doing Everything In Them video, one woman comments that she’s being “oppressed by the patriarchy.” if you’ve read anything Victorian man ever said about hoop skirts, you know that’s pretty much the exact opposite of the truth
thing is, hoop skirts evolved as liberating garment for women. before them, to achieve roughly conical skirt fullness, they had to wear many layers of petticoats (some stiffened with horsehair braid or other kinds of cord). the cage crinoline made their outfits instantly lighter and easier to move in
it also enabled skirts to get waaaaay bigger. and, as you see in the late 1860s, 1870s, and mid-late 1880s, to take on even less natural shapes. we jokingly call bustles fake butts, but trust me- nobody saw them that way. it was just skirts doing weird, exciting Skirt Things that women had tons of fun with
men, obviously, loathed the whole affair
Tumblr media
(1864)
Tumblr media
(1850s. gods, if only crinolines were huge enough to keep men from getting too close)
Tumblr media
(no date given, but also, this is 100% impossible)
Tumblr media
(also undated, but the ruffles make me think 1850s)
it was also something that women of all social classes- maids and society ladies, enslaved women and free women of color -all wore at one point or another. interesting bit of unexpected equalization there
and when bustles came in, guess what? men hated those, too
Tumblr media
(1880s)
Tumblr media
(probably also 1880s? the ladies are being compared to beetles and snails. in case that was unclear)
Tumblr media
(1870s, I think? the bustle itself looks early 1870s but the tight fit of the actual gown looks later)
hoops and bustles weren’t tools of the patriarchy. they were items 1 and 2 on the 19th century’s “Fashion Trends Women Love That Men Hate” lists, with bonus built-in personal space enforcement

thing is, hoop skirts evolved as liberating garment for women. before them, to achieve roughly conical skirt fullness, they had to wear many layers of petticoats (some stiffened with horsehair braid or other kinds of cord). the cage crinoline made their outfits instantly lighter and easier to move in
it also enabled skirts to get waaaaay bigger. and, as you see in the late 1860s, 1870s, and mid-late 1880s, to take on even less natural shapes. we jokingly call bustles fake butts, but trust me- nobody saw them that way. it was just skirts doing weird, exciting Skirt Things that women had tons of fun with
men, obviously, loathed the whole affair
Tumblr media
(1864)
Tumblr media
(1850s. gods, if only crinolines were huge enough to keep men from getting too close)
Tumblr media
(no date given, but also, this is 100% impossible)
Tumblr media
(also undated, but the ruffles make me think 1850s)
it was also something that women of all social classes- maids and society ladies, enslaved women and free women of color -all wore at one point or another. interesting bit of unexpected equalization there
and when bustles came in, guess what? men hated those, too
Tumblr media
(1880s)
Tumblr media
(probably also 1880s? the ladies are being compared to beetles and snails. in case that was unclear)
Tumblr media
(1870s, I think? the bustle itself looks early 1870s but the tight fit of the actual gown looks later)
hoops and bustles weren’t tools of the patriarchy. they were items 1 and 2 on the 19th century’s “Fashion Trends Women Love That Men Hate” lists, with bonus built-in personal space enforcement
