Dominant RFA + Minor Trio with a misbehaving MC? If that makes sense Thank you!

dominant people are my favorite people tbh (this is nsfw!)

sorry i spent so long on this btw, i’m sick and busy with school work so i haven’t been writing much lately! also i’ve never written vanderwood before so i’m not too sure about how i portrayed him but here you go, here’s your sin

Yoosung

He had warned you the day before that he needed to play LOLOL for a special event, and he didn’t want to be distracted as it was important

So what did you do?

Distract him

You sat on his lap while he played, which wasn’t unusual, so he just wrapped your arms around you but didn’t really acknowledge you otherwise

After a few minutes you started kissing his neck, making him groan

“Baby, not now, I’m in the middle of a fight okay”

When you ignored him and started biting his neck, he threw his controller away, told his guild members that he had to leave because something came up his dick and squeezed your ass so hard that it would probably leave bruises

“What did I just tell you? Why would you tease me like that, huh? Are you really that desperate for me to fuck you?”

All the boyish cheerfulness in his voice was gone and replaced with pure lust

I’ve said it before and I will say it again, I truly believe Yoosung is always flustered not just because he is shy, but because he’s dominant af and wants to ravish you

Fucked you hard the couch as he was too impatient to go to the bedroom

Probably forgot to turn the mic on his headset off first poor guild members

Zen

He wanted to stay professional at set, so he had asked you to not call him unless it was an emergency, and rather just wait for him to call, as he shouldn’t just ditch his rehearsals and take breaks whenever he felt like it

So when you called him, he picked up and expected a disaster to have happened 

Like a house fire or that you were at the hospital dying

What he didnt expect was for you to moan his name in a whining way, begging for him to come home to you as you were horny and didn’t want to wait for him

He instantly blushed and went to the bathroom for some privacy, before he answered, clearly flustered

“P-princess, what are you doing?”

“Thinking of you… Your talented mouth, your long fingers, and your big cock…”

He spluttered out some words that vaguely sounded like “hold on”, before hanging up, telling the crew that an emergency had come up and that he needed to leave, and ran all the way home

When he entered your room and saw you fingering yourself on the bed, he pulled your hand away and replaced it with his own, practically showing his fingers into you roughly

“What were you thinking, working me up like that when I am busy and have told you not to bother me? You’re gonna pay for this princess, I hope you are aware off that”

Jaehee

Jumping right into the smut wow close your eyes children

With Jaehee standing between your legs, preparing to peg you by strapping a dildo onto herself, it was impossible to not touch yourself at the sight

“No baby girl, don’t please youself. I’m the one who will make you moan”

You were trying your best, but she was using so long time that she had to slap your hands away several times

When she finally had it on, she didn’t get straight to fucking you as you wanted

All she did was to tease you by rubbing the tip of the dildo against you, making you groan her name

“Jaehee I swear to god, if you don’t fuck me right now I will actually scream”

She smiled smugly and kept teasing you until you couldn’t resist touching yourself anymore, already painfully close to your orgasm

When she noticed you rubbing yourself, she looked disapprovingly at you before she removed the strap on from herself

“W-what are you doing?”

“You didn’t follow my orders MC, I will not follow yours”

Shocked, you watched as she found a small vibrator from the bedside drawer, turning it on and shoved it inside you before she tied you up, making you unable to do anything but moan her name desperately

“If you would excuse me, I have some paperwork to do. It shouldn’t take longer than half an hour”, she said as she got up and left

When she finished, she found you writhing in bed and whimpering from all the overstimulation

“Tsk tsk tsk, if you’d only listen to me”

Jumin

You often got bored home alone with just Elizabeth the 3rd as company, so you sometimes convinced Jumin to let you join him to his meetings (which were boring, but at least you could just zone out and look at him)

His only condition was for you to behave professionaly, as he didn’t want any possible deals to not go through because of inappropriate behavior

This particular meeting was even more boring than usual, so you decided to make a game out of turning your husband on without anyone noticing

You started by placing your hand on his knee under the table, but he didn’t even look at you until you were sliding your hand up his thigh, when he gave you a warning glance

Smiling innocently, you began softly palming him through his pants

He shifted slightly away from you but otherwise, his only reaction was his hardening length

Deciding to push your luck further, you squeezed him and didn’t fail to notice that he bit his lip

“Gentlemen, I am terribly sorry, but I have a horrendous headache. Could we postpone this meeting until tomorrow?”

They grumpily agreed and left one by one, till you and Jumin were the only ones left in the room

“I knew you liked to play it dangerous, but when did you turn into such a bad kitten? Just because I call you cute nicknames, does not mean I am above punishing you when you deserve it”

Bent you over the table and took you from behind with no mercy

707

He was in another one of those “no stay away I’m dangerous and not worth it” phases, and had told you to leave him alone and not bother him, as he didn’t love you

As much as it hurt you, you knew he would come around eventually if you just insisted enough

So that’s why you decided to dress up in one of his hoodies, because he had mentioned once that you looked cute and irresistable in his clothes

After sneaking into his room, grabbing a hoodie and changing so you were wearing only that and your underwear, you got into his computer room with the help of the cat robot

“God Seven, agent 606 requests a partner as she is quite lonely”

He didn’t even bother looking at you, just shook his head and said that you shouldn’t waste your time and just leave him alone

“I don’t consider even a second spent with you wasted time, Saeyoung”

At this point he spun his chair around and looked like he was about to yell at you again, before realizing what you were wearing

“I-is that my hoodie?”

When you nodded and told him that you missed him and that it smelled like him, the annoyance in his eyes shifted to something even darker

Before you even realized it, you were pushed against the wall with Seven hungrily kiss your neck

“I’m a dangerous man MC, do I really need to prove that to you? I can’t have you just running around ignoring my rules, can I? Even pretty girls like you need to be punished”

Teased you by just rubbing his hardening cock against your opening for several minutes, before he fucked you against the wall until you were cumming on him and begging for him to stop overstimulating you

V

This nerd was taking photos of you two laying in bed, cuddling in your pyjamas

“Can you look at me, angel? You look so cute when you’re cuddled into the blankets, I want to capture your innocence”

Just to mess with him, you posed as seductively as you could by spreading your legs, putting your hand between them and opening your mouth like you were moaning

He blushed and pouted, repeating his question and asking you if could just look cute because he wanted a picture of it

When you disobeyed him further by groping your boob with your other hand, you heard him groan and felt his hands grab your wrists, pinning them above your head 

“Do you really think I’m unable to make you look at me the way I want you to, honey?”

Just to prove his point, he put his hand in your pants and rubbed your clit through your underwear suprisingly rough, making you moan loud

His usually soft mint green eyes now looked dark with lust, and with his other hand he picked up his camera

“Blow me while giving me that innocent look of yours so I can get my picture, or I won’t let you get off for a month”

Saeran/Unknown

Sometime during the progress of getting him emotionally stable again, the two of you got really close

After every therapy session he went to, the two of you would take a walk to the park to get some ice cream, then talk about nothing and everything

At the start he kept glaring annoyed at you, but as time went by he sat closer and even allowed you to lean your head on his shoulder now and then

The one thing he didn’t allow you to though, was to take his ice cream (because it was one of the few things that actually brought him good memories, it might seem ridiculous but he just wasn’t ready to share that yet)

So when he asked you to hold his ice cream as he went to the bathroom only to come back and see you licking his ice cream in a suggestive way, he raised an eyebrow

“Give it back, MC”

You giggled and was going to say that it was impossible, but got cut off mid sentence when he kissed you

Squeeling suprised, you kissed back and felt his tongue enter your mouth, making you moan softly

He pulled back and you could see the faint blush across his cheeks, but a satisfied smirk quickly took over his expression

“That wasn’t impossible, was it?”

You looked even more forward to your ice cream dates after that, especially the ones you decided to have at home

sorry i just feel like he wouldn’t be comfortable with anything too wild after what he has been through okay he just needs some love

Vanderwood 

“MC, honestly, clean up after you. I’m not your maid, you know”

Even thought he did love you, he hated how you were even messier than Seven sometimes

Just like one of those cats that look into your eyes as they knock over shit, you looked at him and threw an empty soda can on the floor

“Seriously?”

He looked at you with the most unimpressed look you had ever seen

“Oh I’m 100% serious, Mrs. Vanderwood”, you said in a teasing tone

Taking a step closer, he looked challenging at you

“If you’re going to throw things on the floor, at least let it be your clothes”

When you just laughed, he sat down on the couch

“C’mon sweetie, you wanted to play with me. Then play with me”

Taking his orders, you started stripping and saw his eyes roam over your now naked body

“Good girl. Now pick up your trash, and I will reward you”

When you didn’t listen but instead sat on his lap, he sighed and took off his gloves

“You really want to be punished, huh? Do you need me inside you that badly?

Without warning he thrusted two fingers into you, making you moan and grind against him

“I will make sure that by the end of the night, the only thing on this floor will be you, whimpering my name”

To all my writers who have a tough time with smut terms and not knowing which ones to use, I have found the holy grail for us.

This reddit user took a poll of 3,500 people and went really in depth with asking their favorite terminology, along with actual pie charts on what the readers preferred to see in their smut.
