PAC: THEIR S3XUAL STYLE, POSSIBLE K1NKS & FAVORITE THINGS (18+)

Look at each pile and choose the pile that you can’t stop looking at, or the one that you always return to. For current partner and future spouse only, it doesn't work for crush. If you have a partner already, remember to communicate before trying something. I use Tarot of Secsual Magic so the interpretation is a bit different.

Rules & Disclaimers

Important:

People with more masculine energy are the masculine. People with more feminine energy are the feminine. This isn’t about gender, everyone has masculine-feminine in themselves, some people have one stronger than the other, some people are balanced.

When I say 'dominant' and 'submissive', I mean the behavior and the energy, not BDSM. When I use dom-sub or dom/sub, I'm talking about BDSM. You can be dominant (adjective) in bed without being an actual dominant (noun) in a dom-sub relationship.

PILE 1

Core Personality: The Moon

I asked about the core personality of your person that would appear in sex. This person seeks depth in a connection; emotionally and psychologically. This is what they will bring into the sex, and this is what they will seek from their partner to feel satisfied. What they like sexually probably has something to do with their insecurity or issues.

7 of Swords, 4 of Swords, Ace of Pentacles Rx, 6 of Cups

I’m not getting a strong masculine or feminine energy in this one, so this person could have a balanced feminine-masculine or they shift from one energy to the other depending on the situation. In the case of sex, the way to know that they have completely surrendered to your connection is when they show their submission. They like their partner playing psychological & emotional games and making it a bit painful, to make them obey. They like the pressure, and the release that the pressure can give them at the end. It’s mentally soothing. For those who like men or people with a masculine demeanor, this may not be obvious on the outside and they may not do this with every sex partner they have, only with those they are comfortable with. Because this desire makes them feel vulnerable.

They like being taught a lesson, being made to wait, being ordered around, being ignored. For example; after doing something ‘wrong’, being told to sit on their knees with a cock ring on OR with a sex toy inside their ass/pussy while their partner watches, not letting them have that release. They like having their stability shaken and feeling like they have to serve their partner to gain that stability back; their partner pulling away and them having to follow orders and perform to get that favor back. Masochistic streak. Master-slave, dom-sub.

They like roleplaying. As a punishment, they like being made to wear something they don’t normally do (eg. nothing else but leather body harness and a collar), or being put in a position that is embarrassing (eg. being made to masturbate in front of the window with the risk that anyone can walk past and 'see' them. It could be tinted glass if your person is not open to actually being seen but still wants to feel like it could happen).

They like being marked and feeling like they are owned by their partner. Hickeys. Their like their dick/pussy being ignored until it’s wet and swollen. They may also like being made to watch their partner masturbate and not being allowed to participate. Or being made to watch porn with their zipper open and their partner 'checking' whether they are hard or wet, but not being pleasured.

They don’t mind where, but they prefer somewhere private. I’m not getting much about the pace, since it starts with mental stimulation-- the pace can vary. For example, some days you guys may fuck when they can’t take it anymore which can be over in just 3 minutes probably. The fucking itself I mean. The foreplay is longer, the foreplay is the main thing here. With this person, orgasm isn’t only achieved through penetration alone, their partner or them can achieve that orgasm during foreplay, so there could be multiple rounds in one session. And of course, after all of those plays they like to be soothed.

To conclude, they like to approach sex first with mental stimulation (mentally tested and pressured), and lose themselves into it deeper and deeper (emotionally) as the arousal builds up. There’s nothing else I can say other than you should buy a collar.

PILE 2

Core personality: 5 of Pentacles

I asked about the core personality of your person that would appear in sex. I think this person has gone through serious hardships in life, or they have a lot of Saturn energy in themselves. So they understand that pain. But instead of it making them sadistic and rough, it makes them caring. It’s not submissive... it’s more like... responsible, like someone who nurtures and someone who wants to provide a safe place for their partner.

8 of Pentacles, 8 of Swords, 7 of Swords, Strength, Knight of Pentacles

This person has a strong masculine energy but that nurturing side of them is coming from their feminine energy. So they are pretty balanced I guess. They are more dominant than you are, or the people they tend to go for. This person likes their partner to submit to them, to let go and let them take care of it. They are giving off dependable and mature vibe, and marriage material tbh. This person may be like this only with a serious partner (i.e serious relationship, not casual sex). They like to have control, but they are firmly gentle about it.

They like things to start slowly; the foreplay and the sex. Very attentive and detailed. They don’t mind doing the work. They like to court their partner, to ease their partner into it. Slow and light touch. Lightly touching their partner’s chin, neck, chest, navel-- before unbuttoning their pants. Or having their partner sit on their lap so they can play with their partner's dick/clit, slowly moving their thumb around the tip or slowly rubbing their fingers between the folds. It’s building up the arousal but at the same time soothing the partner.

This is the kind of person who likes to undress their partner and to dress them up. Again, slowly. They definitely like to see their partner in lingerie, or something pretty. They really like to just play with their partner's dick/pussy, and get the partner aroused to the point of giving in to them. They may like to restrain their partner a bit, gently I mean. It’s like they would say “it’s okay baby” while tying you up and kissing your forehead. They may also like to buy sex toys and lingerie for their partner, as gifts.

When they talk (during sex), it’s more about saying things to soothe their partner instead of being loud. As for the pace of the fucking itself, it’s just like their general approach to sex. They start slowly, they fuck like that too. Since you have Strength here, this person has hidden passion in them. So the slow fucking usually gradually becomes harder and deeper; hard to breathe and bed shaking type of fuck. If they have a dick, it may be thick and straight. For some of you there could be a slight upward curve at the end. As for pussy, thick/big labias? Or whatever you think the equivalent is.

There is a part of them that is a bit ‘animalistic’, but they have a good control of this. They hide these dirty animalistic thoughts. They may channel this side through those little things that can help them release their frustration little by little, like I said; tying up their partner, or pinning their partner on the bed, having their partner lie on their lap so they can spank that ass. Oh they like spanking. Sorry to those who hate this, but this is really giving off the Daddy vibe, so they may have that kink.

PILE 3

Core personality: 3 of Wands, Ace of Swords

I asked about the core personality of your person that would appear in sex. It’s the curious side of them, the part of them that likes to explore. This is a typical masculine pile, I think your person has a bit of an ego (i.e leads with their ego sometimes, likes being adored and praised) but it's mostly harmless. The personality is fiery and/or outgoing. They are vocal and have many ideas, so they are open to trying new things in the bedroom.

They may like having sex with different types of people. I’m not saying they like open relationship. I’m saying that this is the kind of person who doesn’t mind fucking a bookworm today, a cheerleader tomorrow, an athlete next week. They are okay with anything/anyone. But they prefer a partner who is more feminine than them.

Queen of Wands, 9 of Wands, Death, The Star

Their sexual style is passionate/hot. Even the quickies. The fucking itself may be hard and heavy, you will feel it, alright, and you will feel hot all over. But I would say the pace is in the middle range, nothing too slow and nothing too fast either despite these Wands cards.

They like their partner to soothe them, this is different from the previous pile. They want the feminine to attend to them, not really in a submissive way, but in an encouraging kind of way? To praise them, to make them feel good. They like their partner quietly confident. Not sure if this is the right thing to say in a sexual reading, but this is the kind of person who can act like a baby, eg. rubbing their face on your chest for attention. But once you guys start kissing, it gets heavier and hotter.

They like watching their partner undress, because of the anticipation. They like doing it with clothes on as well eg. dry humping. Since this person is open, anything goes really. The vanilla, the taboo. They are okay with sex toys. If they have a dick, the dick may be a bit thin but long, there is a curve to it. This may not resonate with everyone tho, obviously.

Regardless whether they have a dick or pussy, there’s usually a lot of cum/wetness. Their pre-cum may leak and drip onto the floor when they stand, or they may wet through their panties or the bed sheet. And they like cum play. They may also like to make their partner gag during oral; mouth full of cum or not being able to breathe properly because of it. They like seeing the cum on their partner’s clothes.

They may be okay with exploring ideas but they also seek emotional/spiritual connection; the best sex for them is sex where they can be vulnerable and rewarded for that. They like to fuck when they are not feeling emotionally okay, this person seeks comfort from sex. They may like doing it on the couch, sitting there and receiving oral. They may be open to a make-out session in nature lol, a bit hidden from others. I think this person prefers sex that has no obvious dominant-submissive roles, like equals, just sex yknow. There’s not much dom/sub play here. I’m not saying they won’t do it at all, it’s just not their go-to sex.

Honestly, as long as their partner is nurturing and feminine and the sex can give them that comfort and deep spiritual satisfaction, they are good. Have passionate sex on the couch and end it with forehead kisses, they will probably be as happy as a clam. There is a bit of childlike quality to this person, despite Death here. For some of you, the intense energy is not really from them, it’s something they seek from their partner, they like their partner to be so into the sex with them. Their personality is more passionate and fiery than intense and dark.

PILE 4

Core personality: Judgement

I asked about the core personality of your person that would appear in sex. This person is quite intense, they seek healing. They bring in a quite serious energy too, almost like seeking a renewal from sex. I don’t feel like this is a loud or outgoing person, at least most of them are not, because we have more Water and Earth here.

Ace of Pentacles, 4 of Pentacles, The World, 2 of Cups

Like I said, they like that feeling of renewal. Almost like being a different person after sex, figuratively I mean. They like to fuck slowly and deeply. There is an emotional undercurrent. Long sex, you have the Ace and The World here, they make sex an experience. They like physical closeness and they like to have that emotional bond. Probably 'fucking and staring into each other’s eyes' type of sex. 'Fucking and listening to the little gasps and moans' type of sex. This person may not have casual sex often, if at all. There is nothing much kinky going on (at least, it's not obvious in this reading) but they do make sure their partner reach that O.

Sex with them is full of love, but it feels committed and serious instead of bubbly and cute. They like the morning after, when they feel the soreness and see the marks, it’s the proof of what happened the night before. They like deep kisses, French kiss.

They like to be visually stimulated; looking at their partner’s nudes or porn. If their partner is open to it, they will like to record videos and take pictures. They like to watch their partner sleeping. This person may also like to touch their partner when the partner is sleeping, and maybe wake them up with them between their legs. They like the look of vulnerability that their partner shows when sleeping. Honestly if you don't like this kind of thing, just communicate.

This is the type who fucks while holding hands. They like to taste as well, so when they give oral they will swallow. They make sure to lick everywhere and get every drop of cum. They like seeing their partner spread open under them. They may be into shower sex or sex in a bathtub/pool/Jacuzzi. They like sex in the dark or under dim light. Because it represents the intensity/intimacy that they seek. This person is low-key, they probably don’t immediately come across as a sex God, but they have it alright, they know how to experience sex.

They may have a breeding kink; they like the idea of cumming inside their partner or being made pregnant by their partner (only if this is physically applicable). If this isn’t physically applicable, just see it as their feelings. Despite their breeding kink, there are no obvious dominant and submissive roles. Their energy is usually slightly more dominant than their partner, but they like give and take, giving and receiving. They do take care of their partner tho, making sure their partner is comfortable and feeling good.

To conclude, they like sex that is healing, emotionally intense and serious.

Heart and Soul by @all1e23

Alphas only brought trouble. The only thing they are good for is bringing their Omega’s pain and forced submission. They were dangerous, reckless and cruel. There wasn’t an ounce of kindness in any of them.  She didn’t need an Alpha, and she certainly didn’t believe in that True Mates fairytale. That was just some fabricated fable Alphas made up to trick innocent doe-eyed Omegas. She wasn’t going to fall for that.  Not again.No Alpha would ever get her to believe that love truly exists. And then, James Buchanan Barnes walked into her life.

Your father always said that if it weren’t for your presentation, he’d think you were an Alpha. There’s a reason for that.

Alpha Bucky would totally tell you to get sleep because he care about his mate 🥺😉

Pairing: Beefy Alpha Bucky x reader

Word count: Drabble.

A/N: A/B/O dynamics, so not copy, repost, rewrite or translate my work. Fluff.

Bucky's been watching you struggle to stay awake for the past hour. He knows you're working too hard and you deserve a break.

"You need to sleep, little one." Bucky states as he scoops you up from the couch. Not waiting for your response, he carries you to the bedroom.

"I'm alright."

"Dont lie to your Alpha, I can feel how tired you are." He declares in response to the flare of annoyance in your bond.

You sheepishly smile into his neck, your fingers touch your mark. "Sorry."

He gives you a knowing look when you stifle your yawn. Ignoring your sleepy, mumbled protests that you'll go to sleep in a few minutes and you need to finish your work.

Bucky quips, "and my job is take care of you and that's what I'm going to do."

He flicks back the top sheet and lays you down. "Get some rest and I'll check on you in a bit."

You whine softly when he turns to leave. "Please stay."

Bucky can never resist when you make those cute little omega noises. You whimper when he sighs. "I'll keep doing it," you warn.

Bucky turns around, his blue eyes narrowed but you know he's not upset.

"And I can command you to stop." He retorts, amusement softening his tone.

You smile up at him and whimper his name, soft and low in your throat, his large frame stepping towards you in an automatic response, wanting his distressed little omega to be happy.

"Alpha." You pout, tugging at him through your bond, sending your calming scent around the towering Alpha.

He grumbles under his breath, removing his shirt. "You're spoiled," he says with a shake of his head.

You shrug, biting your tongue so that you won't say that it's his fault you are the way you are. He knows though. The bed dips down as he gets in beside you. Pressing your face against his warm chest, you kiss his chin. "Thank you, Bucky."

He inhales your scent with a content groan before kissing the top of your head. "Sleep. I'll be here when you wake up." He lovingly promises.

You were the sun and I your Icarus; the more I loved you, the more I withered a bit

Everything is good

Male Yandere Lawyer x Female Embroider Reader (a lady who works as a tailor is fine too)

Imagine a man falling head over heels for that newly employed lady who hand embroiders beautiful handkerchiefs in a luxury shop he visits to get his custom suits! And he just trying to coax her into dating him, marrying him, and becoming his stay at home wife (and mother of his children eventually) 🥰🤭

Age difference? I need some DILF Daddy energy more in my life (but don’t make him an actual father…yet)

P.S. I adore your OCs and writing. And your artwork is way too fucking good! You’re art is just *chef’s kiss* infuckingcredible

-👘

Ooh, you know what this reminds me of? I have a yaoi volume from Scarlet Beriko, “Queen and the tailor”, about an interior designer that visits a legendary tailor whose suits will supposedly help you achieve success. The tailor turns out to be a scary looking, blunt man but nonetheless extremely talented. I liked the premise a lot, so it’s definitely interesting to try out a different perspective.

In this case I have the image of a patient, soft-spoken reader and a hurried, short tempered lawyer. Comically different but in a way that eventually works out, you know? Also thank you for the kind words!

Yandere!Lawyer x Embroiderer!Reader Headcanons

Featuring a Reader that is blissfully unaware the lawyer she just stared dating has their entire life together already sorted out.

Content: female reader, age gap, older yandere, obsessive behavior

Your eyes begin to hurt mildly, so you look out the window and blink repeatedly, trying to refresh your poor sight. Such detailed works always strain you terribly, but you love seeing the finished result. Others must, too, given your handkerchiefs are often sold out the very same day. Right before your needle pierces the silk canvas anew, the door opens with a burst and you jolt. An older man in a suit, arguing loudly over the phone. He’s drumming his fingers over the counter, eyes darting around in search for an attendant. You know the type quite well, so you hurry over with the hoop still in your hand. “Might I help you with anything?” You mouth discreetly. He turns to you, stares for a couple of seconds, and promptly ends his call.

Out of all the places, he certainly didn’t expect regretting his rusty, unpolished flirting skills in a luxury tailor shop. Yet here he is now, clumsily mumbling something about his new suit he’s come to pick up and wondering how to connect that with your number. The name’s the easy part, as it’s neatly and conveniently printed out on the little badge pinned to your collar. Everything else, not so much. You excuse yourself and return moments later with his order. Shit. You tilt your head, confused by the delayed response, worrying whether you forgot something. Next time. He’ll figure it out for sure next time he comes here.

If there’s one good thing about his career, it’s that his eyes have been trained to spot every detail. For example the embroidery hoop you gently held while speaking to him, so he knows exactly what his next custom order will be. Truth be told, he didn’t anticipate your popularity and long waiting times, but a calculated raised tone with a sprinkle of intimidation has convinced the employee to assign him to you as earliest priority. Whether he can flirt remains to be seen, but arguing with others? Child’s play.

“Thank you for coming again today.” You bow slightly and extend the gift bag. “Although, I must say…I’ve never seen you using these before. What has caused your sudden interest in handkerchiefs?” Rather bold of you to begin such conversations, but your curiosity is too great. No matter how hard you try, you can’t imagine why a blunt, nonchalant man like him would abruptly become passionate about embroidery. A lover? You smile faintly at the idea. Whoever it is, they’ve taken quite the challenge upon themselves. The lawyer frowns at the inquiry. It seems you’re just as observant as him. Maybe this shall be the pretext he can finally cling onto. So he presents it in the factual truth you’d hear in a courthouse: it’s his excuse to see you. You raise your eyebrows in surprise. Well now, isn’t it just silly? He could’ve simply asked. Buying countless expensive handmade items instead of plainly confessing his intentions…He stumbles, flustered. The same man whose ruthless reputation has even reached your humble ears is anxiously awaiting your response with a deep blush on his face.

The childlike innocence doesn’t last long. You’ve agreed to date him and that’s great, but he’s a man with little time that has known exactly what he wants for many years. When he laid his eyes on you he didn’t imagine cheesy coffee dates as you discuss your favorite color and cautiously breach the topic of intimacy. What’s the point? He’s already certain he’ll spend the rest of his life with you. Skip the unnecessary steps. On the other hand, you’re not as cooperative as he’d wish. Truly, the tangible proof that opposites attract. You’re always calm and take your time with everything. It’s almost frustrating how easygoing you are. When asked when you’re moving in with him, you just smiled and wondered out loud what could be wrong with your small studio above the shop. Marriage? Good question, you never thought about it.

Oh, the irony. Last time a client was being particularly difficult, your lawyer boyfriend pulled him out by the collar under the mortified stares of the other attendants and shoppers. The exact attitude he himself would’ve shown before, yet this time it’s different. Of course it is, it involves you. His thin patience runs out if it’s you. That’s all there is to it. Can you blame a man for following his heart? They say you should always chase your dreams; he prefers hunting them down efficiently, and the shotgun is pointed in your direction. His sweet, exquisite prey he can never get enough of.

Finally you agree to move in with him. Your hesitation was maddening and he’d started coming up with downright psychotic alternatives to convince you, such as your studio burning down after a vicious attack of some unknown hooligans. So it was rather wise of you not to push someone that knows the law like the back of his hand, even if you aren’t aware of it yet. He enthusiastically guides you around your new forever home, omitting unimportant details. The spare office he emptied for a future nursery? You’ll get to that later.

He can’t wait to spoil you. See, that’s the advantage of dating an older man. He’s gotten his life sorted out a long time ago. All that was left was finding you. You just need to be a darling and behave. He knows you will. After all, you’re his talented little embroideress that won’t have to worry about anything else ever again.
