Long Story Short

Long Story Short

"In today's day and age," Darius groused as he lay across his couch with a phone in hand. The light from the screen illuminating his face inside of his since darkened living room. "Being single is almost a choice."

With a sigh and another swipe on his phone, the seemingly endless barrage of pictures on Tinder offered little in the way of actual matches. Rather Darius found himself working on muscle memory alone now as he swiped right on every picture, he came across regardless of who it was or what the bio read. Not like anyone read the bios anyway. If nothing else this little game he played was something to stave off the boredom of an uneventful Friday night.

For every match he made, Darius ignored the notification till Tinder decided he'd had enough for one night. From there it was just a matter of sorting through all the matches and deciding who was worth his time or who totally wasn't looking to steal his identity. No really, they just needed his credit card information to prove he was really eighteen or older. Or worse yet, they tried to get his cellphone number because they supposedly didn't have enough data to chat over Tinder but they certainly had enough data to swipe through a few matches.

It was enough to make Darius realize that being single wasn't a bad choice to make.

By no means was Darius a bad looking guy either. Spiked brown hair slicked up with a clean skin fade on the side of his head and an even cleaner shave. A razor's edge kind of smirk on his face that betrayed a level of self confidence bordering on cocky. Even a sense of humor decent enough to make for more than a few humbling pictures inside of his profile. One of which involved a very specific pose for those who'd catch the reference. Was that a Jojo reference? No it was a Dio's pose from the anime of the same name.

Darius paused for a second and thought maybe that's why he wasn't getting any real matches tonight. Though before he could entertain that thought any further, a sudden popup across the screen called for his attention and immediacy made Darius roll his eyes. Looks like Tinder decided he should take a break. That or he could buy the wildly overpriced premium version and keep swiping all day, but Darius decided that was gonna be a hard pass from him.

Taking this as an opportunity to check on the matches he made for the night, Darius sorted through the various spam bots harassing him for his personal information. The usual trigger being that they messaged him first. Either sending a shady link to some site or giving their phone number within the first message.

Just as he was deleting another bot account, another message popped up in its place. Muscle memory nearly forcing him to delete the chat before he stopped himself if only because of the content of the message itself.

"Ya like Jazz?"

Darius furrowed his brow at this and wondered if the people who programed these bots decided to make them more conversational. Nothing a minor Turing test couldn't fix. Not like these things were smarter than a cellphone calculator.

"What's two plus two?" Darius replied.

"Oh, I know this one!" The other profile snapped back instantly and Darius took the time to look through her profile picture. The very first picture that came up was that of a pink haired girl with ash brown skin. To top it all off, she had heterochromia. Which was to say that her right eye was blue and the left was hazel.

Darius wouldn't go as far as to say he was smitten from her picture alone, but she had his curiosity for now.

"Uhh... pineapple, no fahrvergnugen!" Mae replied emphatically.

Feeling the energy to her text messages made Darius smile and a bit of a warmth spur in his chest. Hoisting himself up to sit straight on the couch, Darius took a moment to think of a reply.

"Alright alright, you're not a bot, so what are you then?" Darius asked.

"A girl looking for someone to watch YouTube with?" Mae said and followed up with a teasing. "What does that even mean, "what are you"?"

"Sorry okay? I'm just a little sick of dealing with bots on this stupid app."

"I feel that actually." Mae replied and followed her message with: "Did I pass your Turing test then?"

"For now, I guess." Darius replied before he ran a hand across his hair feeling like he already made an ass of himself. Something in the back of his mind told him not to let this girl slip through his fingers. "I think I'm gonna need some more proof for you to really convince me you're real though."

"If it makes you feel any better you can call me Dee instead since it's what you're gonna be giving me later tonight if you want me to prove I'm not a bot or a joke account." Mae punctuated her statement with a finger guns GIF leaving Darius stunned for a moment.

Did she seriously just say something like that? Darius knew better than to bite at a bit too soon and just tried to brush it off though he could feel himself blushing at the least. With a quick roll of his shoulders he tried to think of a reply, anything he could do to keep the conversation going or maybe even play into what Mae said.

"What do you say you let me buy you a drink first then so we can get to know each other, for all I know you could be some kinda psychopath who watches the dubbed version of anime." Darius retorted and sent the message only to smile once he saw Mae quick to write up a reply.

"I mean you're already a JoJo fan so... there's this bar down main street if you wanna give it a try, meet you there in about an hour?" Mae said.

Darius doubled over on the couch with his phone pressed to his chest as he let out a groan. His whole body aching all at once as a strange sense washed over him and he promptly realized that he might just fall in love with a girl like this. Not one to leave her on read, Darius replied with: "It's a date."

"It sure is~" Mae replied with a winking emoji.

~Later~

Darius walked into the bar, looking fly and feeling fresh. The funk of his apartment, and subsequently his couch, finally washing away once he got himself ready for the night. Deciding to look halfway presentable, Darius slipped into a pair of black distressed jeans ripped at the knee. Along with that a pair of ankle high boots and a shirt that looked nearly painted on his muscular chest. The fit tight enough to accentuate the natural V shape of his body but not enough to make him look like he was trying to show off. The shirt still draping around his form where it needed.

Finding someone like Mae in a bar like this wouldn't be easy though and Darius found himself wishing he'd asking Mae for some kind of code to stand out among the crowds. A bar on main on a Saturday night, by no means was it a bad choice to meet up with someone. If things went south for either of them a good old Irish goodbye was easy enough to accomplish. Finding that person in the first place however proved harder than expected. That is till Darius spotted a set of pink cat ears flicking off in the distance and spotted his date sitting alone at a table.

She circled her finger around the rim of her glass of half empty beer, staring off into the distance with a blank look to her face. This sort of lackadaisical look did little to dissuade any prowlers at the bar though as Darius noticed someone slip into the seat across from her.

Mae perked up at this and swallowed the last of her beer before setting the empty glass to the side before leaning back in her chair and crossing her arms over her chest. To be honest, Darius couldn't blame the guy for trying. The swell of her hips and thighs accentuated by the skinny jeans she wore that traced down her long legs. The blouse tied at the bottom leaving her mid drift just barely exposed while the open neck of the blouse teased with her exposed collarbone and a slight line of cleavage.

Darius wondered how this might play out before Mae noticed him staring on at the situation and took a quick double take to notice him. The second time she saw Darius her eyes lit up with a smile and a shine. Gesturing Darius over to her side, she immediately leaned over and pressed a kiss to his cheeks. Her full lips grazing the corner of his mouth as she did so while her arm wrapped around his waist, her nails grazing across his back causing Darius to shiver with a smile.

"My boyfriend and I are on a date so if you could just-" Mae began.

"Fuck off pal, she's not interested." Darius snapped and narrowed his eyes at the man sitting across from Mae. He opened his mouth to retort and looked at Mae almost as if he was looking for permission to stay before shaking his head and muttering something under his breath before he left. "Boyfriend huh? Moving pretty fast aren't we?"

"I don't know I think you're pretty cute but there is just one issue though..." Mae said as she smiled bashfully at Darius, her ears laying sideways against her head as she shrugged her shoulders. Shame painted across her face.

Darius's face went slack as he nodded his head and ran a hand along his hair. With a deep sigh he gestured towards the door with a half hearted scoff. He knew this might be an issue. Being that he was only about five foot seven, most girls didn't want much to do with him since most had this idea that any man under six feet wasn't really a guy. Darius figured he'd be used to it by now but that still didn't stop it from stinging.

"Right I'll just uh... I'll see you around." Darius said as he tried to step away before feeling a gentle hand grasp his wrist.

"Wait no that's not it!" Mae said as her brows knotted and she held a concerned look about her face. "I'm sorry I just... I mean I like shorter guys and believe me it's easy enough to find them with how tall I am I'm just sorry because..." Mae stepped out from her table and stood at her full height. She easily stood seven foot five inches and that was without the shoes she wore. "I just really wish I decided not to wear heels is all..."

Darius's heart thumped in his chest once before it felt like it might stop all together. Even with his stature and Mae in her heels, he only came up to about her chest. On top of that, she liked shorter guys. Even if Darius could probably sit on her lap he found himself thinking about that more than he might like.

"I don't know I think the heels are kinda nice, what are those like a gladiator kinda thing or what?" Darius teased as he found his voice again but Mae no doubt noticed the way he blushed and only giggled and smiled.

Mae extended her long illustrious legs and ran a hand across the tightly bound fabric holding to her thighs and hips as she attempted to display her shoes.

"I don't know I think they're kinda that dominatrix kinda feel~" Mae replied with a sly half smirk and a giggle at the expression she saw playing on Darius's face.

"I thought I recognized those kinda shoes before." Darius retorted and now it was his turn to give her a half smirk and for Mae to blush. Figuring this banter was enough of a toll, Darius took his seat and ordered a drink for the two of them.

Upon sitting down, Mae noticed the smirk still playing on Darius's face and the extended canines at the corners of his mouth. The sharp fangs making Mae palm across her neck as a sudden chill sent goose bumps across her skin at the mere thought of those teeth grazing against her neck.

"So when were you gonna mention you were a vampire?" Mae asked and leaned forward, her chest resting on her forearm as she leaned across the table. Her blouse opening that much more and giving Darius a display.

Darius, meanwhile, kept himself determined to look into Mae's eyes as he marveled at the different colors between her right and left eye. His smirk growing wider as if to proudly display his fangs while instinct allowed him to flash his eyes to a dark crimson before turning back to normal.

"Uhh... you know about the time you mentioned in your dating profile that you're an absolute amazon." Darius retorted.

"Excuse you, it's pronounced amazing~" Mae said as she tapped her index finger against Darius's nose.

"Oh excuse me, amazing as in how amazing those legs are, or how amazing you look in that shirt or just how amazing it is that even with the rest of you I can't take my eyes off yours." Darius replied. "Is that how it's pronounced."

Mae laid her head in her hand as she leaned forward bit her lower lip at what Darius said to her. With her foot, she grazed up Darius's calf tapped her toes against his inner knee with a playful smirk on her face as she witnessed Darius's cool demeanor melt away with a blushing grin.

"What do you say we leave the beer and you come take a drink out of me instead?" Mae said and listened to the high-pitched giggle that came from Darius's lips and Mae gave a sultry laugh of her own. Hopping from her seat, she offered out a hand to Darius and said: "C'mon, my place isn't far from here."

Darius took her hand in his and allowed her to lead them out the back of the bar as the night crowd started to amass themselves. The entrance all but blocked while the back door remained cleared for anyone to make a quick exit and a quick exit is exactly what Darius needed right now.

"My place is just right here, not stand still" Mae said and pulled Darius in close to her and placed her hands at either side of his ribs. With a quick hoist off the ground, Darius yelped and found himself dangling just above her while Mae smiled up at him. "What are you gonna just stare at me or are you gonna grab the ledge?" Mae said as she nodded to the fire escape on the side of the apartment building.

"Warn a guy before you just toss him around like a sack of potatoes." Darius teased as he grabbed the ledge and hoisted himself up. For Mae it was easy enough for her to just jump and pull herself up to the ledge but Darius being the gentlemen he tried to be in this moment still helped her onto the platform of the fire escape. For his efforts, Mae leaned in and pecked a kiss to his forehead with a smile and a wink.

"Thanks stud," Mae said before she ascended the stairs and looked back at him from over her shoulder. "Oh and don't even try to pretend you didn't like me tossing you around, I saw that look in your eyes~"

"Hey I never said I didn't I'm just saying warn me next time!" Darius said as he trailed after her till the two of them slipped through a window located on the fifth floor. Just as Darius began to crawl through the window, he felt a hand snatch at his wrist and pull him through before Mae pushed him up against the wall. She held him there with one thigh sitting between his legs and her chest pressing up against his. Darius felt the breath in his lungs suddenly fall short as he saw Mae's lips just inches away from his while he felt her firm thigh dig into his crotch while her breasts pressed up against his chest.

"Hmmm... nope I don't think I will, I think you're just going to have to get used to me doing what I want with you cause you're not gonna fight back." Mae said, leaving Darius to wonder if that was an order or just a prediction.

"Yes ma'am..." Darius said either way before feeling Mae's lips press to his neck as she nipped at his ear.

"That's a good boy~" Mae whispered, her voice low and calm but still sending shivers along Darius's body. Dropping him to the floor, Mae turned away and started down the hall before looking over her shoulder, her pointed ears flicking as her tail swished from side to side. With a beckoning tap of her hand at her side, Darius pushed off the wall and ran up beside her only for Mae to reward him with her hand grazing along his head. Her nails tracing furrows along his scalp as she elicited another shiver from him but still remaining quiet. Mae decided she'd change that by the end of the night.

Upon entering Mae's apartment, Mae tossed her keys into a side bowl before plopping herself down in the center of the couch. With her tall stature, her knees nearly went to her chin till she spread her legs and tapped the seat to invite Darius to sit with her.

"Come here and get comfy while I find something for us to watch." Mae said and watched as a throttled smirk played at Darius's lips as he sat himself down beside her.

"So long as you're not one of those bleeding heart people that thinks pirating is as bad as murder pretty sure I could see if they got a few things on-" That was as far as Mae allowed Darius to go before she swung her leg over his head and pulled him along the couch so he sat between her legs. Her thighs pressed in around his waist, her ankles locking together on the floor as she leaned forward and pressed her chest to the back of his head.

"I think I already gave you a seat, but I think this will be more fun instead." Mae said as she reached down to the keyboard sitting at her coffee table and began to type away at the address bar. Just the first letter alone causing Darius's stomach to sink with adrenaline coursing through his veins. His heart hammering in his chest as he felt a rush and tinge of excitement at the prospect of what Mae proposed. As the page loaded to an all too well known porn site, Mae rested her head against Darius's shoulder and nipped at his ear again before she whispered once more. "We both know what were here for, so let's not lie to each other okay?"

Mae didn't give Darius enough time to respond as he her hands snaked down his chest and her finger tips peeked under the waist of his pants. Darius, feeling her nails graze across his shirt till Mae's fingers lowered themselves down to his waist began to press his hips against her touch. Feeling her hands work quickly, Darius felt one of Mae's hands slip around the shaft of his cock and the other slipping under his balls. Gently she cupped them in her hands and stroked them with the very tips of her nails while her other hand stroked Darius's member and pulled his pants down to his ankles.

This throbbing member already stood at the ready for Mae and her constant stimulation only allowed it to throb even harder in her touch. Pulling her hand up to the head she loosened her grip and watched as it twitched and stood on its edge while she listened to Darius's soft breathing. Still no noises from him yet but she could tell that the man was melting in her lap bit by bit. She'd break him eventually. It was just a matter of time.

"If you want me to stop you just have to say-"

"No..." Darius whispered out between breaths as he shook his head. "I'm fine, really this is all just kinda... it's really new to me you know?"

"Are you normally the dominant one?" Mae asked as she leaned over Darius's shoulder and pressed her breasts up against the back of his head. As he spoke, she typed away at the search bar at the top of the site, looking for something for the two of them to watch.

"I mean yes, but this right here, this is... this is something else altogether." Darius said as he shimmed his hips and dropped his pants around his ankles.

Mae saw this as an invite to strip a few clothes of her own as she pulled the tied ends of her shirt apart and pulled the buttons away. With a quick shrug of her shoulders, she tossed her blouse away and reached behind her back before unclipping her bra. Dangling it in front of Darius for a moment, she tossed it with the rest of her clothes before pressing her chest back up against the back of Darius's head and wrapping an arm around his waist. The other playing at the head of his cock.

"Which part, the part where you watch porn with someone else or the part where you sit in my lap and I stroke your cock for you?" Mae asked as she worked her hands down Darius's cock. Her grip staying loose as if to only tease her skin across his while her arm secured around his waist ensured Darius kept his hands to himself.

"Y-yes~" Darius eked out as he shut his eyes tight and shivered against her touch. As soon as Mae's hand slipped down to his shaft, Darius let out a breath he didn't know he was holding and felt something brew in the pit of his stomach. This feeling of woeful helplessness, this idea of Mae capturing him but at the same time never wanting to leave her grasp. The thought of being bound up for her and at the mercy of whatever she wanted to do with him. Darius felt his voice well up inside of his throat as he let out a soft mewling moan while his toes curled at the feel of Mae's hand gripping tight to his cock.
