ekko was, to put it frankly, fucking exhausted.
the better things were going with the firelights, the more work it took to keep it that way. the gangs were all but eradicated, a rehab facility built and well kept, and people could actually afford the food that used to simply rot if it wasn't stolen first.
he'd fought for a long time. it filled him with unbelievable guilt that now, when all had been realized, he did not have the energy left to maintain it. it would feel good for someone else to take control, if only for a little while.
ekko trudged up the stairs to his one true respite, his heart light though his footsteps were heavy.
it was unusually hot in the underground, and it did not help ekko's tension when he walked into his bedroom to see jinx sprawled across his bed- wearing two thin triangles tied with string that hardly qualified as a bra and shorts that would get her arrested if she wore them publicly.
he lingered at the doorway. she was on her stomach when he entered, her long hair pulled back in one singular braid instead of two, lounged around like she owned the place. soft thighs spread out beneath the neon fabric of her shorts, and the muscles in her back flexed as she got up on her elbows to look back at him. he felt his cock twitch, swallowing hard.
"short day, commander?" she teased, sitting back against the pillows with her long legs pulling up to her chest. he mourned the change in view, sighing as he rubbed his eyes.
"running on fumes." he kicked his shoes off and went to sit in the chair across from his workbench, slumping backwards with a groan. "if i got through just one day without having to babysit someone or defuse something else i don't think i'd know what to do with myself."
"poor wonderboy," jinx cooed, the mocking lilt still in her voice. "how do you manage? the weight of the world on those big, strong shoulders. it's a miracle, honestly."
he sat up, shooting her a look of pure annoyance. "not helping."
"of course i am." she pouted in mock offense. "moral support. here," she spread her bare legs and patted the empty space between them. ekko's heart beat a bit faster.
"c'mon, you big baby," jinx teased, her eyes soft as she said it. wearily, he made his way over and sat with his back to her, laughing a bit when he heard the "oof" of air leaving her. he crossed his hands over his chest and laid back on her shoulder, trying to relax as he breathed in the smell of her soap.
the task was made harder when her own hands swirled around his, roaming up his sides beneath his shirt as she rested her head against his. "you're not any less of a leader if you take a break," she whispered, just the very tip of her fingernails dragging along his skin. "everyone will understand having a day to yourself. it's better than burning out."
he watched the outline of her hands beneath the fabric, wondering if she could feel the erratic thumping of his heart. he always got like that when she touched him. it was embarrassing.
"i don't know about that," he sighed, pressing a kiss to the bend of her elbow. "they'll think i'm slacking off."
"you?" she asked incredulously. "you take care of everyone, ekko. take care of yourself, for once."
her voice was growing raspy, her palms flat against him now. her legs shifted around his hips, and he settled back a bit more. if she was meaning to ease him, she was doing the exact opposite, all the blood in his body coursing directly to his dick.
jinx was far from caring, though, her torturous trail moving up to his neck, peeking out of his collar. "take this off," she murmured, kissing behind his ear to sweeten the demand.
he could've said no. she wouldn't mind, and she would leave him to rest if that was truly what he wanted. her lips on his skin killed the word on his tongue, and he leaned forward to pull the shirt off without question.
her skin to his felt good even in the too-warm air, and he turned a bit to watch the movement of her eyelashes as she resumed her delicate touches. it felt like a live wire had replaced his nervous system, desire working double time against the exhaustion in his body.
the moment she slipped beneath the waistband of his pants, something inside him snapped. he shifted slightly, trying to find a position that would ease the growing tension in his body, but it only seemed to make it worse. his hips rose into her touch, not a lot, but enough to make her giggle behind him.
jinx had seemingly been oblivious to the chaos she was causing in his body up to that moment, her lips pressing to that same tender spot behind his ear before moving against his thundering pulse point. "you want me to take care of you, don't ya baby?" the words were a low moan, and his brows knitted as he nodded without thinking.
"i need these off, too, then i need you to just lay back and be quiet, hm?" her voice was husky in his ear, and as if she'd spoken an incantation he slipped his pants off his hips and did as she told him, his face hot but his cock throbbing.
he heard her breathing catch, but instead of appeasing him so soon she opted to continue her trail around his hips, across his navel, her gentle kisses being left all along his neck and shoulder. it felt as if he was heating the room up, now, instead of the room warming him.
one of her hands trailed up to twirl at one of his locs, caressing his face as they both zeroed in on her other at his hip, circling dangerously close to his throbbing cock.
with a huff she closed her nails lightly over the tip, teasing him even as she promised to do the opposite. his hands moved to her thighs around him, gripping them tightly as he watched her movements. "fuck," he gasped, and she gave him another sweet kiss to his shoulder.
"did you really think you'd be able to rest like this?" she was messing with him again, bringing her hand down to wrap gently around the base of his dick before bringing it back up. he pulled a hiss through his teeth, turning to catch the skin of her neck between them instead. she laughed again, and he heard the vulgar sound of her spitting before she wrapped around him entirely, wet heat making his spine lock up.
"oh, fuck," he said again, louder, and jinx's other hand came up to clap over his mouth. embarrassingly this made his cock jump, and he knew she took notice by the way her own breathing picked up.
"shh, can't let anyone know you're relaxing. what would they think of you, getting handled like this?" he whimpered into her hand, feeling pathetic even as his eyes rolled up into his head. what a leader, he thought to himself. her slender hands moved expertly up and down his cock, and he could feel one of her signature grenades being put together right in the pit of his stomach. her hands could do anything, it seemed. one of his own flew up to grab at her wrist, but her hold didn't lessen, and she pressed another kiss to his temple as she pumped him faster.
she worked in steady motions, so in tune with his body it felt almost surreal. ekko kept one hand on her forearm, the other on her thigh, fighting the urge to flip over and bury his frustrations in her. his own fingertips grazed up and down her bicep, focusing hard on trying not to cum so soon. she was turned on, he could tell, her hips moving ever so slightly to get whatever friction she could against him. that only made him writhe beneath his skin. it felt too tight on his body, and he wanted to be in hers instead. when she let him pull in a lungful of air he took the chance to kiss her directly, the sensation only teasing at the pin holding him together.
jinx kissed him slowly, matching the rolling of her tongue to the rolling of her hand on his dick. ekko couldn't figure out how she was so composed when his whole body felt like it might fall apart, or catch fire, or both at the same time.
her hand glided down his jaw to squeeze at his throat instead, and when he moaned at that both of jinx's grips on him tightened, a staggered gasp falling out of her mouth and into his.
"i lied, i do have one more thing i need you to do, handsome." her subtle praise made his jaw slack, and he nodded eagerly as she stroked lightly at his cheek. her hand on his dick was firmer now, steady as she worked in the rhythm that made him the most tense. he felt his thighs tighten, and jinx dragged the tip of her tongue up his neck before she spoke again. he shuddered at the feeling. "cum for me. i feel you getting close."
as if he'd been waiting for permission, he gripped her tightly, his stomach seizing and another egregious moan building in his throat. with a breathy laugh jinx covered his mouth again, and when the tips of her fingers teased his bottom lip he drew them lightly between his teeth. she gasped at that, her grip on his dick becoming more lenient, and once he leaned back and got a look at her petaled lips and long lashes fluttering against her cheek it took him no time at all to cum. hard.
he watched her eyes widen, but he was too embarrassed to look down. ekko would have been just as happy to stare at her forever, heavy with his release and hot with his adoration of her.
"made a mess." there was no mockery in her tone that time. "guess i'll take care of that, too." she was grinning, that beautiful, sly grin that made his whole body light up even when every fuse of his felt blown.
"guess you will." he turned enough to kiss her deeply, pulling her down the bedding by those damnably soft thighs until she lay flat on her back, her smile reflected in him, now.
exhaustion seemed to evade him after that.
