[A brooding, possessive daddy-type top x a promiscuous, flighty butterfly bottom]
Mu Chengzhou x Yu Xiao, friends with benefits to lovers
Yu Xiao flits from one lover to another and has seen them all. Mu Chengzhou is the best he's ever had in bed.
What's more, Mu Chengzhou is naive, loaded, and easy to manipulate, which makes him perfect for helping Yu Xiao out whenever money gets tight.
Naturally, they become regular fuck buddies.
Yu Xiao only saves his nights for Mu Chengzhou.
During the day, he dresses to the nines and goes out to deal with all sorts of people. Men.
Yu Xiao always comes home reeking of alcohol, then uses the cheap bouquets other people gave him to make a show of giving them to Mu Chengzhou. "I bought these just for you on the way home. Do you like them?"
He narrows his eyes and smiles like a fox who knows just how tempting he is.
At times like these, Mu Chengzhou can only darken his gaze.
In a low voice, he says, "I like them."
-
Mu Chengzhou knows he could never be Yu Xiao's only one, but at least he can have Yu Xiao in bed.
He's willing to put up with Yu Xiao's countless lovers, take care of the gifts he considers beneath him, and do everything he can to keep Yu Xiao satisfied.
Until his feelings suddenly grow too strong to suppress, and jealousy drives him to the brink of madness.
His possessive punishments in bed grow more and more extreme.
When Yu Xiao comes home drunk again and whines for Mu Chengzhou to hold him while he showers, Mu Chengzhou roughly pins him against the sink and makes him throw up. Then he takes out his belt and torments him until his eyes are red and he begs for mercy over and over.
Yu Xiao looks at the suddenly unfamiliar man through tear-filled eyes.
Where has the honest, dull, easy-to-manipulate Mu Chengzhou gone?
Mu Chengzhou grips his chin, his voice harsh. "I can give you everything they can. Why do you still have to go fool around?"
"I give you money to buy nice clothes, not to seduce other men. From now on, you're only allowed to show yourself to me."
"Otherwise..." The belt taps his already-flushed backside, the threat unmistakable.
"If I beat you black and blue, you won't be able to sit through other people's drinking parties, will you?"
#People who toy with other people's feelings get toyed with in return#
#A man in power goes from bowing his head to losing control#
Three-year age gap, one-on-one, happy ending. The bottom isn't the top's first.
A scumbag finds true love, coercion, angsty melodrama.
*The bottom really is promiscuous and has a sexual history. Both leads have had previous partners, so please mind the tags.
