it's an uncomfortable way to kiss someone, to be sure — steve's at an awkward angle, he has to elongate his neck in order to reach jack's lips and that stretches his muscles in such a way moving his jaw is kind of difficult — but steve sort of likes it that way. his spine is still zinging slightly from the frisson of electricity that went through him at jack's sarcastic "good boy", and he lets jack do whatever he wants, move him however he needs — it's different than it was with bucky, more deliberate, but steve's finding he can enjoy that too. he's choosing this, rather than being swept away by it. maybe jack can push him into subspace, maybe he can't, but it feels good to reclaim his own body by choosing to cede control of it.

jack gets up and walks off and it knocks steve off balance, tipping him gracelessly onto his side. he likes that too, he thinks, the way his comfort seems to have turned into an afterthought for jack. steve pushes himself back up to sitting and raises an eyebrow at jack, but does as directed and remains seated on the couch. he only moves to take another sip from his glass — it's still half-full by the time jack returns, and steve is only barely beginning to feel a buzz.


Do you have any limits I should know about, things you don't want me doing? ❰ he calls, twisting around in his seat to try to see where jack's gone.

that image — jack walking out with a hammer and nail, whistling a jaunty tune, is enough to make steve laugh, popping the tension that remained in the room like a balloon. he's still grinning as jack reassures him, but the smile falls somewhat at the command.

it takes a moment for steve to begin to comply, but eventually he sits forward, unlaces his shoes, begins to pull them off. he strips slowly, giving jack time to do whatever it is he's doing and join him, kicking his shoes to the side and starting on his belt. he doesn't hesitate on his shirt, only pauses a second before shoving down his pants and underwear at the same time — he used plenty communal showers in the war, that this nudity is happening in a different context only makes him nervous for a second. once he's bare, he turns to look at jack, hands on his hips, eyebrow raised.

well? did he do good? when are you getting undressed, jack?

so here's the thing.

ever since steve got the serum, people have been looking at him as an object. phillips wanted him sent to a lab to be studied, brandt wanted him to be a walking bonds advertisement, fury wanted him to be a weapon to be pointed at shield's enemies, tony wanted him to be a whipping boy for his daddy issues — everyone wants him to be something other than what he is. something inhuman, untouchable, both more and less than all of them at the same time. it's something you get used to, whether you want it or not, going into every interaction assessing what want this person or that person is looking for you to fill. steve has never once enjoyed it, merely accepted it.

there is an element of discomfort as jack looks him over, but it's not the treatment that's bothering steve. or, it is, but it's bothering him that it isn't bothering him. if anything it's making his heart beat faster, his skin prickling everywhere jack touches him. he's just an attractive body to jack right now, no thoughts about what's in his head, no expectations to fill save those jack specifically gives voice to, and it should be bothering him so much more than it is. jack circles around, calls him a toy, and steve inhales, sharp and confused by the way that goes straight to his dick —

and then jack's hand slaps hard into his ass, and steve stiffens as his jaw drops. he's not — that's not something he likes, or he's pretty sure it isn't, but his dick's gone from mostly flaccid to half-hard in the space of the second it took for the impact to filter up to his brain.

what the fuck is going on?

he holds out his hands when jack demands them, silent, brows drawn together in confusion, and doesn't meet jack's eyes. it would feel wrong.

why would it feel wrong?

steve's head jerks up at jack's words, an expression somewhat akin to horror flitting over his face to hear it all said aloud. the worst part is it isn't even as though jack is wrong about any of it — he's cut straight to the core of steve's insecurity and shame, and even if he doesn't seem to be making fun it still makes steve want to... to hide, or to leave, or to fight, maybe. anything to get him out of this situation where his own private shame is being observed and called out. it doesn't even matter that steve knows that jack has experienced his own version of this — if he knows how it feels, why put words to it? why put it out into the world, make it real? jack's supposed to be helping him, he's supposed to be pulling steve out of his own head, not shoving him further into it —

before steve can get too worked up, jack's expression softens and he ducks into steve's arms, and that, that is why jack was the only person other than bucky steve could imagine coming to for this. he can be mean, yes, he can find your buttons and push them viciously, with expert precision... but in the end he doesn't really want to hurt anyone. there are lines he won't cross, not on purpose, and if he finds he has he'll turn around and place himself back on the right side again. where before steve had only tensed further under jack's gentle touches, now he relaxes, nudging his nose against jack's before kissing him back. it's sweeter than the one on the couch, more equal, and it works to settle his abruptly rattled nerves. it's as much apology from jack as it is gratitude from steve, gratitude that he hadn't chosen wrong, that jack cares to get this right, that he won't use this to hurt or humiliate him.

well, much. not any more than steve wants him to, anyway.

after a long moment of simple, soft kissing, steve bites into jack's lower lip, sharp — he's okay to keep going, jack can be mean again. maybe later they can actually talk about their shared experience of shame over something intrinsic — it'd be a long way off, if steve even could ever bring himself to articulate his feelings, but if there's anyone who might have something insightful to say it's probably jack — but right now they're in the middle of something, and steve is committed to seeing it through.

steve grins against jack's lips as his fingers slide from steve's neck up into his hair, even laughs a little through the yank — it stings, but not enough to actually hurt. it's just... nice, kind of, to be able to go between this and something softer. it feels more like a controlled descent than the freefall the encounter with bucky had been. he's choosing this, he's choosing jack, and that makes it feel less like he's losing himself as he does it.

a muzzle is right out (bucky's eyes sharp over black mesh, terrifying and out of control and vicious), but the mention of a gag — that makes steve's eyes darken, and he darts his tongue out to wet his pretty lips. yeah, maybe. if he can forgive himself for wanting it, that sounds... yes. something to note for later.

he follows behind jack, still grinning, even as jack's grip on his hair smarts and he stumbles a little from the awkwardness of the drag. he hadn't understood the point of the nail until now, and steve breathes in sharply as he realizes — he'll have to stretch so tall to be able to fit the tie over it. he'll have to be so controlled in order not to tear the tie or rip the nail out of the wall. it's perfect, some part of him thrills, that same part that was so pleased when bucky forced himself down his throat, that fights so hard to prove himself and push his own limits. there's no hesitance or concern about this, just his eyes lit up and bright as he wonders how long jack will have him stand there, what else he'll want him to do while he's there —

it's not part of the game, but steve can't help turning to jack and pulling him into a brief, searing kiss — you're so fucking brilliant, kid. and then he walks to the wall, puts his back to it, and stretches up on his toes, arms high above him, until he gets the tie over the nail. his calves won't begin to burn for a while yet, but steve lowers himself just a little anyway, testing how much he can allow himself to move — not at all, really, is the answer, the nail straining as soon as he drops less than an inch. pushing himself back up onto the tips of his toes, steve licks his lips again, eyes not leaving jack.

what now?

of all the things steve expected jack to bring into this, a blindfold was not one of them. he watches jack approach, eyebrows raised, a small smirk on his face, and dutifully leans his head forward to allow jack to more easily tie the scarf around it. mark this down as another thing steve was fairly sure wasn't a thing for him which he's rapidly changing his mind about — taking away his sight just makes steve's other senses more heightened, particularly his hearing. jack hisses accusatorily in his ear and steve shudders, tilting his head toward where he thinks jack's lips are —

and then jack steps back, and steve takes a deep breath, shifting his wrists. the tie slides silken along his skin but doesn't tear, and the nail remains solidly in place.

he's not expecting jack to touch him, so when jack's nails alight on his collarbones steve jerks, then forces himself back to stillness nervously. each touch heightens the sensitivity of his skin, builds anticipation for where else his nails might go — they dig into his nipples and steve yelps a little ah as his hips twitch forward and a blot of precum drips out the head. he's getting harder, he can feel it, and when jack's hands get closer to his cock steve almsot believes he might take it in hand, jerk him off, force him to control himself through it... but he drops his hands, and steve moans, bobbing just a little on his toes.

jack's not going to be with him for the whole hour. god, that shouldn't hit him as hard as it does, shouldn't shoot straight through his dick and make the muscles of his stomach jump as steve forces himself to remain in place — he'd wondered why jack wasn't undressing, now he knows why. he doesn't have too long to think about it before jack's hand drops with all the weight of his body onto steve's throat and he steals his remaining breath with a kiss. it's enough to make steve feel floaty, foggy — not quite to the point he was with bucky, but almost there — and then jack walks away, and steve tries to follow him before remembering his place (his place) and just stands there, panting, now hard as a rock and leaking precum like a fucking sieve.

it takes a few moments for steve to get his breathing back under control, but after that all he can do is stand and wait. wait for jack to decide to come back to him — or, wait for jack to return his attention to steve, because jack himself is only a few feet away. steve can hear the tv going, though it's difficult to make out any of the words. that's more due to how scrambled his own head is than anything — the volume's plenty loud, but steve can't bring himself to concentrate on anything except for how hard he is, and how the stretch in his calves and arms is uncomfortable but not painful (yet, but it'll be an hour, maybe after an hour), and he can feel the air from the fucking heater on his skin, and jack is just a few feet away. fully dressed, unconcerned about the naked, hard man trussed up against his wall. like steve is just a feature of the room, a decoration. it's the headiest realization steve's ever had, and it pushes him further into the fog the more he thinks about it.

the tv's been switched to commercials for a few seconds by the time steve is aware of the change, but he hardly cares about that when he can hear jack coming closer. his erection's been flagging, ten minutes without any stimulation making him wilt, but just the sound of jack's heels on the floor is enough to make it twitch again. steve can feel jack's presence next to him but can't feel him, and he's about to ask jack to touch him jack does, lips brushing along his sides. it's nice.

or it would be nice, if jack didn't find the ticklish spot on his ribs that makes steve nearly shriek, jerking away from the pressure. the tie doesn't tear and the nail doesn't move, but it's a near thing, and steve tenses, gritting his teeth and curling his toes as jack bites into the same spot. it's the first part of this that's made him shake, and the relief that floods him when jack pulls back and lets him relax is almost goddamn sexual, that's how good it feels.


You're a dick, ❰ he murmurs, but there's no bite to it, he's still floating.

that palm against his back feels... almost better than anything else ever has, or at least steve is so attuned to it that it feels more. he's not really worried about spending another hour up here, not yet, the threat too nebulous for him to feel much concern, but he does want to please jack. he wants jack to keep touching him. it's so overwhelming, to want it so badly and to feel it so much and not know what jack's doing, and steve turns his head into his arm, nudging against it while trying not to twitch too much.

an impossible goal, it turns out, with jack still talking and touching his cock like that. steve can't help the breathy, quiet little grunts being pushed out of him by his own overworking lungs, and his hands fist above his head, then flex, then fist again. fuck, fuck, fuck, he knows jack wouldn't do it but for a second he wants him to, wants to be the toy jack pulls off the shelf when he's feeling lonely. no responsibilities, no wars to fight, nothing to do but please jack and keep himself blank while he waits to be needed — and he would be needed, because jack cares about him. not just a toy, a prized possession.

it's difficult to get the leverage necessary to grind his hips upward, and pointless, too, because there's nothing to grind into, but steve's hips begin working of their own volition and he pants into the skin of his underarm. jack keeps talking, and steve's cock is so hard he almost feels like he's going to come now, without being touched at all — and then jack steps against his side and steve's hips jerk, he pushes himself just a little higher, biting his lip against the moan that threatens to leave him. there are lips on him, slowly making their way down his chest, and when they reach a nipple steve gasps, head dropping hard back against the wall. his cock still works the air, searching for some kind of friction —

it's clear, during that little moment of pause that steve is fine. or, well, turned on beyond belief, so hot and hard his dick's almost flushed purple — but mentally, he's fine. a flush has spread from his cheeks down his chest, his nipples are tight and hard and as red as the rest of him. his lips are wet and swollen from being bitten and licked so much.

he looks wanton. desperate. not quite in subspace, but riding the razor's edge.

jack steps in closer, presses himself against steve, and steve almost sobs with relief, trying to rub his cock against jack's chest — jack takes pity on him, takes him in hand, and steve moans, mouth slack. it's so good, he's so close, it will only take a few strokes — jack sucks at the skin of his ribs and that makes it even less, he's so fucking close he's gonna come, he's gonna come, he's gonna —

jack steps away and this time steve does sob, body tight, held at the precipice for a few moments before it starts to ramp back down. wildly, he almost tears his hands off the nail and just says fuck it... but that would disappoint jack, and much as steve wants to come he wants to please jack more. so he stays, uncomfortably hard and uncomfortably stretched out, panting into the tv-broken quiet.

and then there's the sound of jack's zipper and the quiet, wet sound of jack stroking his own dick, and steve's mouth waters.


I want — ❰ jesus, is that what his voice sounds like? all breathy and far away? ❱ I want to taste. Please.

maybe if he asks nice jack will let him, next commercial break.

[personal profile] ex_serum683 2018-10-28 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
steve takes the time between commercial breaks to try to calm himself down, at least enough so that his hard-on doesn't hurt anymore. he's... mostly successful, but it's a difficult proposition when he can hear the way jack's breath hitches and his hand strips his cock. for someone who'd never seen another person's dick in a sexual situation until a couple weeks ago, steve is rapidly finding himself obsessed with them — he wants to be on his knees in front of jack, or stroking him, anything.

so yeah, he's still fucking uncomfortably hard by the time the commercials hit, but he's at least able to breathe normally. his calves and arms are just beginning to feel a hint of strain, but it's nothing he can't ignore. steve waits for jack to come back over, tensing a little in anticipation...

but jack walks away. steve can't see him but he can hear him, can hear his whistling getting further away, and steve groans, thumping his head against the wall behind him. paradoxically, his dick gets a little harder at the abandonment.

when jack begins to return, steve lets out a breath of relief — though that doesn't last long. as soon as jack hears the thump of the dumbbell he tenses, and he almost jumps out of his skin when jack settles first one then the other in the crooks where his arms and neck meet. it's fucking cruel, and rude, and steve just rolls his shoulders slightly to test their lay so he can make sure not to drop them.

fucking hell, jack is good at this. steve's almost entirely underwater by now, only hanging on by the barest amount of irritation and worry he still feels.


You, ❰ is steve's immediate answer, and then the realization that that won't be enough for jack. there's a moment of hesitation, a nervousness that he still hasn't fully been able to evade yet, before he licks his lip and says ❱ Your cock. I want to suck you.

steve g r o a n s, disappointed and frustrated and desperate, but he doesn't say anything. he leans into the sweet little lies of jack's kisses, trying to catch jack's lips and pull him into a deeper kiss, but jack pulls away and steve can't really move all the much anymore. the dumbbells aren't heavy, really, but they're not all that stable either, and too much movement one way or another could send them tumbling off of steve's shoulders.

jack's hand closes around steve's throat and he chokes, tensing to keep from trying to rock his hips. he's swimming, he's almost under, steve can practically feel the fog settling in —

and then jack lets go and steve gasps in a breath, shuddering and still aware, even if only by inches.

maybe it is only bucky. maybe jack can get him close, but bucky's the only one who can really take him down. that'd be okay, steve wouldn't hate that so much — bucky his as much as he is bucky's. they're two halves of one whole, they couldn't do anything that would hurt each other. bucky wouldn't use this against steve ever.

steve's so caught up in his own half-aware thoughts that when jack's hand circles around his dick he jumps, making the dumbbells wobble and his calves finally give the barest bit of a twinge as he has to resettle his muscles in ways that strain the tie and the nail the least and him the most. how the fuck is he supposed to fuck jack's hand like this, without dropping the dumbbells? yeah, yeah, the point, his head, but still. taking a deep breath, steve rolls his hips forward, carefully, less fucking into jack's fist than sliding through it. it takes a moment for him to catch a rhythm that doesn't endanger the tie, or the nail, or the dumbbells, but once he does the motion of his hips gets dirtier, more obscene, as he works himself back up to his peak.

please don't pull away this time, he's been good, he's done everything that's asked of him —

when jack pulls away this time, there are actual tears in steve's eyes.

[personal profile] ex_serum683 2018-10-30 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
maybe he should be ashamed that it's jack's gentle praise that makes him catch his breath again, but steve can't bring himself to feel it right now. it's there, somewhere, abovewater or beyond the fog, but for now it's so far away as to be unimportant, even if he's not quite under yet. jack says he's doing good, jack says just a little more, and steve shudders in acquiescence, drawing strength from the press of jack's lips to his. he still whines, just a little, when jack pulls away to return to the couch, but it's more of a cursory complaint than anything. jack is testing him, he's testing himself, and if he can't handle half an hour of this then... well, he can. that's all there is to it.

again, steve takes the time between commercials to try to recenter himself. it's harder, he really wants to come, he's never been denied like this before, but he tries. he tunes into his body, feels the stretch and the tension of his limbs, the precarious balance of the dumbbells, the aching hardness of his cock. it's been a long time since steve has really checked in with his body like this, and it's a good reminder. proof that no matter how many times he looks in the mirror and sees someone else, this is his body. it's wide and strong and tall in all the ways he never used to be, but it's the body he's used to kiss bucky and jack and peggy and tj, and it's the body he uses to fight for the things he believes in.

it's his body, and he likes it, even when it doesn't always feel like his. he'll have to thank jack for reminding him of that.

the commercials begin, and steve turns his attention outward again, straining to hear jack's movements. there's the quiet shift and swish of fabric, maybe he's getting undressed? his steps stop in front of steve and one by one the weight of the dumbbells is lifted off his shoulders. steve rolls his shoulders, but doesn't have time to appreciate the new freedom before jack gives him an order, one he frowns at but follows with jack's help. it feels... strange, somehow, to be turned to the wall, ass out, but before steve can worry too much about that there's the sound of jack's belt buckle. he is undressing, finally, thank —

the leather of the belt slides over steve's shoulder and encircles his neck and steve just straight up stops breathing, before jack even starts tugging he just stops breathing and falls under.

he's — floating, or he's sinking, or something, he doesn't know. he doesn't need to know. he loses time for a moment or two, static filling his ears and his mind going blank. he comes back to himself just in time to hear jack call him bucky's and steve nods — he is, he's bucky's, jack is helping him right now but it's bucky he belongs to, it's good jack knows that —

the first time jack ruts up against his ass steve gasps and shudders, tries to curl in on himself but he can't do that without pulling down on the nail and he remembers, no tearing the tie, no ripping out the nail. his hands scrabble at the wall, nails dragging through paint, and when jack gets a hand on him he keens, tensing and pushing back and then forward, he can't choose whether to fuck himself back on jack's cock or forward into his hand the result is an uncoordinated, desperate rocking. these noises keep being punched out of him with every thrust, these sharp, wild breathy noises, sex noises, made even dirtier by the belt around his neck and the way he almost gags on them. jack isn't going to fuck him but steve wants him to, moans every time the head of jack's cock batters at his hole. it's so much, it's overwhelming, steve's stopped even trying to keep up with jack and is just standing there for him to use.

his orgasm catches him entirely unawares, choking into his own arm one moment and shaking apart the next. it's the most intense orgasm steve has ever had in his life, almost euphoric from the lack of air, and he whites out for a long moment before he comes back to himself with jack growling in his ear. it takes steve a long moment to follow the command, tremors running through his body and his mind swimming, but as soon as he can process language again he flexes his wrists, snapping the tie. he twists around to face jack and falls to his knees in one smooth motion, sighing deeply in satisfaction — fuck, he loves being on his knees — and reaching to pull jack's briefs out of the way. as soon as jack's cock springs free steve's mouth is on him, sucking him down as far as he can.
