Cw: cunnilingus, penetrative sex
Tw: mention of (fictional) sex trafficking
“No, it’s just, like, they can’t bring up sex trafficking and let the buyer fuckin’ get away with it?” you laugh incredulously, tracing the outline of the Alice in Wonderland-esque girls on the page of your Robin: Year One comic. You turn the page, re-reading the foreign president’s claim of diplomatic immunity. “Fucking insane. Where’s the justice?”
Mark hums, his chest rumbling slightly from underneath where your cheek is pressed against his clothed sternum. His large, warm hand is settled loosely on your hipbone, his thumb dipping under your shirt and swiping across your skin. The pads of his fingertips have become rougher with the years of superhero work—no longer soft and delicate like in his childhood.
“Don’t you think that’s on purpose?”
You tut, glancing up at him.
“That’s stupid,” you grumble. “Screw Chuck Dixon.”
“It’s not stupid. It’s realistic,” Mark laugh softly, pressing a totally platonic kiss to the crown of your head. “But it’s your own fault. I told you to go for Frank Miller instead.”
“I heard he’s a weirdo,” you counter, rolling your eyes.
“What? He’s a legend. He did The Killing Joke.”
“No, he didn’t?” You laugh, shuffling around to grin up at him with your chests now pressed against each other. “That’s Alan Moore, doofus.”
You’re met with a sheepish, crooked grin. Mark shrugs.
“You’re the DC geek, not me. I stay loyal to my GOAT.”
“Oh, Seance Dog, huh?” You giggle, playfully digging your fingers into Mark’s ribs.
He laughs, grabbing onto your wrists with his warm and slightly clammy hands, tugging them away.
“Cut it out,” he says, wrapping his arms around you tightly in a caging embrace. He squeezes gently, ever careful not to hurt you with his superhuman strength, but still enough to immobilize you. “I’ve got you now.”
“Mark!” You shriek, wiggling in his grasp but to no avail. You laugh, dropping your head into the crook of his neck with a huff. “Oh— oh, real funny. Let me go.”
“Nuh-uh,” he teases, blowing a raspberry at you. “Apologize.”
You continue to laugh softly, lifting your head. The tip of your nose brushes against his jaw, then up to his cheek. It’s incredibly unsexy how the overly sensitive pickup of his old record player jumps at your ministrations in bed, making a shuffling noise over his speakers before skipping from the beginning of David Bowie’s Soul Love to somewhere in the middle of Moonage Daydream.
Still giggling, you press a lingering kiss to his cheek alongside a muttered apology.
“No— no worries,” Mark murmurs, smiling softly at you. The moment is quiet, save for the hum of the electric guitar, saxophone, and pennywhistle of the Ziggy Stardust version of the song playing. He reaches up, his fingers gingerly brushing across your brow-bone.
“Is Bowie having an influence on me or are we having a moment?” He asks with a wry smile.
“I think that’s actually the body’s natural reaction to hearing David Bowie and looking someone deeply into the eyes,” you whisper-giggle, nudging the tip of his nose with your own.
“A-ha,” Mark says, smiling back at you. “You’re so smart. Did I ever tell you that?”
“Mhm,” you hum, “but I like hearing it.”
At some point, Moonage Daydream becomes Starman, and you can’t help but let out another laugh.
“That’s you,” you say, still laying half on top of him. “Starman. From the stars. An alien—“
“Comedic genius we’ve got here,” he laughs with a grin, moving you fully on top of him with his hands planted on your ribcage. He sits up, tugging you closer easily and leans in to kiss you. His lips are thin but soft, experimentally capturing your bottom lip. The touch is lingering, and he only lets go after a few long seconds, then awaits your reaction.
Your tongue darts out, wetting your lips as you consider the kiss. It was nice. Really nice. You can’t remember the last time your heart beat this fast.
“You okay?” He whispers, bringing one hand up to your cheek. “We can stop.”
“I liked it,” you whisper, smiling. “You’re a good kisser.”
He grins cockily, the hand on your ribcage sliding down to the small of your back.
“Oh, baby, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”
You snort, giving him a gentle and playful shove against his firm chest.
“Cut it out, loser,” you laugh before leaning in to kiss him again. “You’re so stupid. I hate you.”
“Uh-huh,” he hums in between soft, tender kisses. “Love you, too.”
He lowers his back onto the bed and you follow, placing a hand down on the bed for support when—
“Fuck!” You laugh, quickly shifting your weight to the other hand now planted on his chest. You scramble for the trade paperback you just crunched underneath your hand. “No! My baby!”
“I thought I was your baby,” Mark laughs, helping you move the slightly creased comic off the bed. “Here, c’mere.”
He lifts you into his arms, his hands planted firmly underneath your ass as he allows you to place the book back into its box set case. Then, as he walks back toward his bed, he trips over a discarded Seance Dog figurine with pointy ears that dig into the sole of his foot. He yelps, stumbling forward but retaining his grip on you as he turn around mid-air, catching himself with the internal center of gravity that allows him to float.
You shriek, laughing as you smack into his chest.
“Careful!” You laugh, kissing the corner of his slanted eye. “You’re gonna drop me!”
“I’d never drop you,” he laughs, turning his face to kiss your cheek. “I got you. Yeah? Always got you.”
He settles the two of you back into the bed carefully with you on your back and him on top of you. Something seems to click in his mind as he suddenly begins to shift your position.
“Sorry, you’ll probably not want me on top—“
“Mark,” you laugh softly, stopping him. “No, stop. You’re overthinking it. I like it.”
“Yeah?” He whispers with a shy grin, sliding in between your legs as he leans down. “Don’t know why we’ve never done this before.”
“Never thought I was your type,” you respond, brushing his inky hair back. “You’ve always gone for, like… cool, capable types. Uh, serious types, I guess.”
“Are you implying that you’re not cool and capable? ‘Cause that’s just not true.”
“Alright, alright,” you chuckle, leaning up to kiss him again. “You know what I mean. I didn’t think you saw me as, like…”
“I do,” he says, his smile softening. “Very much. Always have. If anything, I didn’t think you thought I had the potential. I thought you saw me as this annoying brother—“
“Nuh-uh, no way,” you stop him. “Too weird.”
“Understood,” he chuckles, capturing your lips once again. His hand comes up to cradle your jaw as he gently pries your lips apart. His experience isn’t vast, but he makes do with what he has. Warm, fresh blood pumps through your blood vessels as your heart beats faster and you feel flustered. It’s all too much and not enough as he kisses you slowly, only to end up breaking it because he’s unable to contain his smile.
“You are… unbelievably beautiful,” he whispers, peppering your face with soft, almost chaste, kisses. “Not to mention fucking cool. Don’t ever doubt that.”
“You’re awfully sweet,” you breathe out, your chest rising and falling with your quickened breath. “But you always have been, I guess.”
“Nothing compared to you,” he exhales, trailing his lips down the column of your throat. “Sweet girl. Pretty girl.”
He laughs softly against your warm skin.
“Sorry. I’m being corny.”
A weak grin tugs at the corners of your lips, only held back by your breathlessness.
“I like corny,” you whisper, the words softer and more tender than you mean for them to be.
“You do?” Mark asks uncertainly. Something tugs at his heart as he’s briefly reminded of a time long ago when Amber dismissed his attempt at a pet name (baby) (totally reasonable and fair! People have their preferences, but he’d be lying if he said it didn’t bring him down a little).
“Yeah,” you laugh softly, fingers threading through his hair. “It’s sweet. None of that pornified dirty talk.”
“What? You don’t want this big cock?” He asks, slotting himself against your hips and purposefully lowering his voice and pushing his chest out comically. “Bet you’ve never had a real man, sweetheart.”
You snort, exploding in a flurry of giggles as you push his shoulder (gently).
“Shut the fuck up,” you laugh, wrapping your arms around his neck.
“Yeah, that’s right,” he continues in the voice. “Choke on my huge fuckin’—“
You laugh, burying your face in the crook of his neck. Mark smiled warmly, unable to contain his own laughter.
“Too porn-y,” you correct him, wiping the mirthful tears that have escaped your eyes.
He laughs, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead.
His fingers dip underneath the bottom hemline of your shirt, splaying out against your skin.
“Hey, can I— can I take your shirt off?” He asks, biting the inside of his cheek. His skin is flushed, tinted red, and he looks down at you with so much happiness in his eyes.
“Yeah— yeah, okay,” you breathe out, adjusting yourself on the bed as he clumsily begins tugging your shirt up. It gets stuck at multiple points—below your back, in your earrings, but amidst both of your giggling, Mark manages to get it off. He glances down at your exposed torso with a small grin.
“Nice,” he whispers to himself, nodding.
“Shut up, dork,” you laugh, tugging on his sky blue t-shirt that fits wonderfully snugly around his biceps. “Quid pro quo.”
“Oh, you wanna get me naked, huh?” He laughs, briefly letting go of you to tug the shirt over his head, only for the crew neck to get caught on his nose.
Sitting up with a laugh, you reach up to help him get untangled.
“My hero,” he sighs blissfully, wrapping his bare arms around you again as he leans in to kiss you. The shirt is discarded somewhere on the floor now, but your focus is solely on the feeling of his warm, broad chest pressed against your own.
Your hand trails down his chest, then further down across his abdomen. The muscles below your fingertips tighten, and Mark smiles into the kiss. You meet the waistline of his jeans, finding the edge of an elastic band peeking out along the periphery. Teasingly, you pull it out and let it snap back against his skin.
“Hey!” He laughs, nipping at your jaw. “I’m supposed to do that!”
“Too little, too late, lover boy,” you snort, pressing another soft kiss to his lips. Your hand still rests on his lower abdomen, your thumb swiping down from his navel and over the beginning trail of dark hair.
He sighs, reaching up with both hands to cup your face as he deepens the kiss. With your bottom lip between both of his and the occasional bump of noses or clash of teeth, he tilts your head back and lets his tongue dart out against yours—briefly, tastefully.
“Hey,” he pants softly, “are we—?“
“Yeah?” You murmur in between kisses. “If— if you want to—?”
“I do, I do,” he laughs, kissing your cheek. “Very much so. Should we discuss the, uh, implications?”
You’re still laughing softly alongside him, nudging his nose with yours.
“I… I like you,” you admit. “If you want more, that’s… great. If not, that’s cool, too. I’m fine either way.”
“Okay,” he says with a smile. “I mean, I… very much would like something more.”
“Great,” you say, your smile widening. “I was totally downplaying my feelings by the way.”
“No, I know,” he laughs, reaching down to tug your bottoms down. “Hips, please.”
It takes you a second to register his request, but then you’re shifting your weight back against your shoulders and pressing into the bed as you lift your hips. With a slight struggle (technical, not physical. He could’ve ripped them off you easily, but he knows you’re fond of your clothes), he manages to shrug them down and leave you in your underwear.
“Cute,” he comments, running a hand up your hip.
“Thanks,” you respond. You hook your fingers into the belt loops of his jeans and tug. “Your turn.”
He grins, fumbling with the button for a moment before unzipping, floating above the bed as he scrambles to get his jeans down past his knees.
“Socks off, too, you freak,” you laughs watching him curl around himself to disrobe.
“I don’t know, I think socks-on is kind of sexy,” he jokes, lowering himself to the bed again as he crawls over you.
“Gross. Never ever express your personal opinion again.”
He snorts, giggling as he leans into the kiss. His lips trail down your throat and collarbone, then further down over the curve of your breast. He fumbles to discard your personal choice of bra style before hesitantly glancing up at you.
You nod, smiling encouragingly as you run your fingers through his hair, your nails scraping against his scalp.
He sighs blissfully, capturing your nipple between his lips in a soft, brief kiss before continuing down the underside of your breast. His hand comes to gently press against your other breast, his thumb running over the summit of your areola where your nipple peaks.
Continuing his descend, his lips trail down your stomach all the way down to the edge of your underwear. He shifts in bed, slipping his arms around your thighs as he lowers himself, his nose pressing into your clothed clit as he gingerly mouths at the (slightly) soaked material.
You inhale sharply, tensing up slightly.
“You know what you’re doing?” You croak out in an attempt at being playful.
“Yeah,” Mark responds confidently, then falters and grins sheepishly. “Kind of? I think?”
“You think,” you repeat with a soft, breathless laugh, letting your head fall back against his pillow (which smells just like him; fresh and soapy and something vaguely Mark).
“Just let me try,” he laughs, tugging your underwear down. “Tell me if it’s too horrible.”
“I guess I’ll sacrifice myself,” you giggle, smiling up at the Seance Dog poster above his bed.
“How noble of you,” he giggles before experimentally licking up the underside of your clit. The pressure is weird and sharp even though it’s vaguely pleasurable and you make a disgruntled noise, shifting slightly away.
“Wha—? Not good?” He asks, looking up at you with wide eyes.
“No,” you respond carefully, not wanting to discourage him but also not wanting to lie. “Uh, weird. The angle is… I don’t know.”
“Okay,” he responds, cheeks slightly red with embarrassment. “Okay, no, sure. I can take criticism. I’ll— let me try something different.”
He tilts his head down slightly while moving up, suctioning on your clit but this time from above and pressing down. His tongue swipes side-to-side to the best of his ability.
Dropping your shoulders, you feel your body become less tense. You sink into the bed, sighing as you thread your fingers through Mark’s hair.
“Better?” He murmurs, licking down to your opening before returning his attention to your clit.
“Yeah,” you laugh softly, smiling blissfully. “Maybe you do know what you’re doing.”
“Hey, female anatomy is different on every woman,” he laughs, continuing to kiss your clit while now slipping a singular finger into your entrance. “It’s not like there’s a guidebook, and you’d rock my shit if I used porn as my inspiration.”
“Duh,” you sigh, humming softly. Your eyes are closed, and the only indicator that you’re being pleasured is the warmth to your skin and your slightly labored breathing. “It’s an exploitative business that preys on marginalized women.”
“You’re so sexy when you care about the state of the world,” Mark laughs softly, hesitantly prodding with another finger. “This okay?”
“Mhm,” you hum, wetness lubricating you enough to allow for both his middle and ring finger to slowly slide inside you. The actual penetration itself does little for you, the main pleasure deriving instead from his attention on your clit, but the feeling of having Mark—your Mark—so close is comforting and adds to the sensuality of the experience. You sigh, shifting your hips slightly. “S’nice.”
“Just nice?” He asks softly with a small smile.
“You know what I mean,” you laugh softly, your breath hitching slightly as you feel yourself approaching an orgasm. “Really nice.”
“I aim to please,” he hums, sliding his fingers deeper into you as he licks into your sex.
“When do you not?” You ask breathlessly, smiling down at him. Your eyes meet and he squeezes your thigh gently, appreciating the understanding you always seem to have for him.
He continues to gently but eagerly eat you out, and by the time you’ve hit the 2-minute mark and you haven’t come, you start feeling guilty.
“You don’t have to continue,” you murmur, a foreign shame and sensation of self-disgust and greed hitting you. “We can move on to—“
“Baby, I’ve got a superhuman jaw and tongue,” he says playfully while smiling reassuringly up at you. “I can handle this. And you need to get out of your own head. You’re the one always talking about how male-centered sex is and how misogynistic it is that anything female-centered is considered foreplay.”
“So you do listen to my rants.”
“Are you kidding me?” He laughs. “I love hearing you talk. And, you’ve got great points. I learn something new every day.”
With that, you allow yourself to be selfishly pleasured. You allow yourself to let the focus, the attention, be solely on you for no other reason than the fact that Mark wants it to be on you. A few moments later, your breathing becomes more shallow, your hips more restless as you buck up against Mark’s mouth, your grip on his hair tightening.
“Mh— ah,” you whisper, brows furrowed together. “Oh.”
Mark grins victoriously, your reaction renewing his energy.
“Yeah,” you breathe out, laughing softly as you raise yourself to your elbows. “Mmh…”
Mark focuses his attention on your clit, a dedicated concentration used as he continues to mouth at you until finally, you inhale deeply, your grip on his hair tightening. You tense up, curling up into his touch and stilling for a moment before shaking lightly, your hips bucking upward a few times. The quietest of whines escape you.
Slowly, you relax back against the bed, your fingers uncurling from his now slightly damp hair.
“How’d I do?” He asks, coming up with a bright puppy-like grin.
“Good,” you exhale, your skin pulsing with the rush of fresh blood throughout your body. “Really good.”
He leans down to kiss you deeply—sloppily this time, less controlled. More saliva is exchanged given his previous excessive use of his tongue which has clearly activated the salivary glands, but it’s sweet and tender nonetheless.
You pant softly against his lips for a few moments, catching your breath before you speak.
“Let me repay the favor—“
“Not a favor,” Mark interrupts, kissing your forehead. “My pleasure. We could also just stop now if you’re not up for more.”
His words are sincere, but the firm outline of his dick against your thigh tells you that he would very much enjoy continuing.
“C’mere,” you murmur, tugging him down for another kiss. You hesitantly bring your hand down to rub over his bulge, amused by how it feels both hard and soft at the same time.
Mark exhales shakily, dropping his head down into the crook of your neck.
“Just nice?” You murmur, mimicking his own previous words. You try to get a feel for the shape of him, but as he begins to slowly rock his hips into your hand, a nicer, less teasing side of you takes over and you tug down his boxers.
Much like the rest of him, he’s pretty. Just above average in length, slender, the same fair color as the rest of him but with a reddened, uncut tip. The base is covered in a well-groomed layer of dark hair.
“Don’t stare at my dick, you weirdo,” he laughs, capturing your lips in another kiss.
“You just spent the last five minutes between my legs, I’m allowed compensation.”
He scrunches up his nose, snorting.
“When you put it like that…”
He hooks his hands under your knees, lifting slightly as he hovers above you. He grabs onto his dick, gently stroking it before nudging the tip against your soaked pussy, slowly easing the inches inside.
“You okay? Tell me if you’re not okay,” Mark says softly, worry lacing his tone despite his eager outward appearance.
You nod, feeling the slightest of stretches, though he’s spent so long working you open that it’s little more than a pinch.
“I’m okay,” you whisper, letting out a breathless laugh.
“Good, good,” he laughs softly, groaning as he bottoms out. He takes a second to just settle inside you, his nose pressed into the dewy skin of your neck. He breathes slowly, his hands running up and down your sides. Still not moving, he peppers soft kisses up your neck.
“Wait, fuck!” He laughs, pulling out of you and scrambling toward his bedside table drawer. “Condom!”
“Oh, my God,” you laugh, covering your face with your hands as you giggle.
“Safe sex. Hell yeah,” Mark says, ripping open the package. He fishes out the condom, fumbling slightly as he pinches the slippery tip before rolling it down. “Don’t worry, babe. I got this. Basically a pro.”
“You’re such an idiot,” you laugh, smiling lovingly at him.
“All part of the appeal,” he laughs softly, gently re-entering you. “Still good?”
“Uh-huh,” you say softly. “Babe, huh?”
“Do you hate it?” He ask, cringing. “I can—“
“No,” you interrupt with a soft laugh, leaning up to kiss him again. “No, I like it. I like all the corny nicknames.”
“Yeah?” He asks, perking up. “Cute-pie. Sweetie. Gorgeous. Pretty, pretty girl.”
Steadily, he begins to rock his hips against you, exhaling shakily as you squeeze around him.
You hum softly, curling your hand around the back of his neck as you let him build up a rhythm. Your legs wrap around his hips, your own hips lifting with every slow thrust to meet him halfway. The penetration feels slightly strange, too intrusive and filling, but Mark’s reassuring smile has you smiling back and feeling comfortable. Once again, you don’t feel much pleasure from the friction inside you, but you find yourself enjoying being close to Mark.
He reaches down with one shaky hand, his finger coming down to press firmly against your clit while swiping against it.
“It’s hard to keep the pace actually,” he laughs softly, struggling with his finger. “It’s very slippery.”
“You’re doing just fine,” you laugh softly back, leaning up to kiss him.
Mark continues his pace, his thrusts short and slow as he kisses you back. It’s sweet how he kisses you, entirely focused on the sensation of lips against lips. His breathing becomes shallow and he groans quietly into your mouth.
“You’re so quiet,” he pants softly. “I feel like an idiot next to you.”
“No, no, don’t,” you whisper, peppering his face with reassuring kisses. “I like hearing you. And I feel really good, noise just doesn’t really come easily to me, y’know? But it feels good.”
“Okay,” he pants softly, followed by a whine. “I trust you. I believe you.”
You smile, kissing him again. Turns out you really like kissing him.
Soon enough his hips stutter against yours and he hides his face in the crook of your neck as he groans lowly, thrusting loosely into you as he comes. He stills, though his fingers continue to rub against you until you follow with a quiet, hitched gasp moments later.
You grab onto his hand, pressing it against your sex for another moment until the pressure is relieved and you can stand coming down from the intense stimulation.
Mark slumps down on the bed next to you, fumbling with unrolling the slippery latex around his dick before he can toss it in the trash can.
“Oh, man,” he laughs softly, rubbing a hand across his dewy, pink face. “That was insane. You’re insane.”
He turns, resting on one elbow as he leans over to kiss you.
“You’ve ruined me, I think. Like, permanently.”
You laugh softly into the kiss, reaching up to caress his face.
“There’s that sweetness again,” you murmur.
He grins, kissing the tip of your nose.
“You’re even prettier now,” he says, reaching up to smudge out the mascara stains on your eyelids. “Pretty girl.”
“Pretty boy,” you counter playfully.
“Got nothing on you,” he laughs, wrapping his bare arms tightly around you. While squeezing, he presses slow, languid kisses down the side of your face and neck. “Prettiest girl in the world.”
You smile, relaxing in his strong grip.
“Always got you,” he murmurs softly. “Except for now. You should go avoid a UTI.”
You laugh again, pressing a quick kiss to his lips before reaching down for your shirt.
“As long as I don’t meet your mom on my way to the bathroom, I’ll be fine.”
You stand up, stretching out your limbs before climbing back into your bottoms.
Mark let’s out a teasing purr from where he’s lying in bed, the covers only pulled up halfway across his hips.
“Come here often?” He asks, winking at you.
“I sure hope so,” you say with a soft chuckle, leaning down to kiss his forehead.
Mark smiles lovingly up at you,
“Is it super dorky and loser-like if I say I think I love you?”
“Yeah,” you say with a small grin. “But I guess that’s part of your appeal.”
“Right?” He laughs, locking his hands behind his head as he stretches out.
“I love you, too, dummy,” you laugh softly before slipping out of his bedroom and down the hall toward the bathroom.
