Work Text:
Vacuo’s streets were busy tonight. It wasn’t all that surprising, Saturday nights were when people with lives were living them to the fullest. Bars would offer themed drink nights, clubs would have their best DJ’s playing, and you would often see kids running around the streets much later on account of not having school the next day. It was a city overflowing with life, and it was why Neo had grown to love Saturdays.
The mute minx of a maiden had developed a habit of just taking a walk around the city on these nights as sort of a “me time”. It reminded her that there were positives to the path she had chosen, the path of the “goody two-shoes”, as she still joked. Killing Cinder had been personal, but through the journey of achieving that goal, she had been shown how beautiful life could be. Despite there still being bad apples that she tried SO HARD not to spitefully pickpocket anymore when they annoyed her (she really was getting better at refraining), it was all worth defending. And Neo had been shown this by the dorkiest redhead in Remnant, a redhead that she was on her way to meet in order to celebrate one whole year of being together.
After Ruby had helped Neo kill Cinder, she had stayed true to her word and helped her mute girlfriend feel completely safe in her transition to protecting the general population from Salem. She had been right at Neo’s side for every meeting with General Ironwood as they had coordinated the evacuation of Atlas and Mantle to Vacuo. It had taken a LOT of persuading, but after being threatened with removal by the council, the Ace Ops, and his second-in-command Winter Schnee, Ironwood had relented his grip on the city of Atlas and had allowed the staff of creation relic to be used to transport every citizen to the desert city, far from Salem’s directed attack on the north. Winter had also become the aptly-named winter maiden after the peaceful passing of the previous one, leaving the combined Atlas-Mantle-Vacuo population defended by two of the four maidens, a sizeable military force, and several very plucky huntsmen and huntresses. The sturdy defense had actually kept Salem’s forces at bay and even let Ozpin’s inner circle gain at least equal footing in the chess match that the two immortals were locked into. In Neo’s eyes, it was ALL thanks to Ruby.
Duty aside, Neo had had several conversations, or as close as the mute could get to such a thing, with Winter concerning their newfound powers. Neo still found it incredulous that she would ever find any sort of common ground with the likes of Winter Schnee, but their shared fate had given them plenty to talk about. Well, that and the fact that Winter’s sister Weiss was the third member of Neo and Ruby’s polyamorous relationship. Neo and Weiss didn’t consider each other significant others, as after a couple of dates, they had decided a romance just wasn’t quite there. However, there was a deep, mutual love between both Ruby and Neo and Ruby and Weiss, something the two of them had become perfectly content over. Plus, the lack of romance did nothing to stop them having a good fuck from time to time, so Weiss was more of a very close friend with benefits to Neo. Almost the same could be said about Blake and Yang, though the two of them were very much committed to each other and nobody else; anything that happened in the sheets with the others was strictly about having a good time.
Neo was all well and fine with letting Weiss, Blake, and Yang be close friends. She didn’t need any more outlets for her love than Ruby, the woman who had done the impossible and shown Neo that it was okay to be vulnerable. Even after a full year of being in a relationship, Neo didn’t feel like they had scratched the surface of what love is. If it were an ocean, Ruby was the beautiful mermaid who kissed air into Neo’s lungs as the two explored the vast, uncharted waters. Ugh, when did she become such a gooey romantic?? Regardless, tonight Neo hoped to return as much of the love as humanly possible.
She sauntered down one of Vacuo’s main streets in an outfit she had been so excited to wear: Neo was dolled up in a beautiful pink dress with wavy white and brown stripes circling the fabric in a downward spiral. She wore a whipped-cream-colored coat over it, cherry-red heels, and her pink and brown hair was up in a spiraling bun. The ice cream girl looked like every part of her nickname tonight and she strutted it with confidence towards the restaurant Ruby was meeting her at. Weiss had funded their whole date as an anniversary gift, so despite the Atlesian and Vacuoan governments paying them all fair wages for their roles in defending the city, the restaurant was the highest of high-end that Vacuo had to offer…and so was the hotel room they had reserved for the night.
As she got within a block of one of the central intersections in the city with three major roads intersecting in a large, rounded town square, Neo took a long inhale through her nose. She slowly exhaled contentedly as the smells of several different food trucks and stands passed through her nostrils. Vacuo was so much more of a cultural hub than Atlas was, though that wasn’t saying much. Still, Neo had traveled enough in her time to recognize authentic styles of cooking from around Remnant packed into the diverse desert community.
Tonight’s eatery of choice, however, was well beyond any food truck. Neo arrived outside the ornate wooden doors of Reikinami, a hibachi-style restaurant that Blake had lauded as having the best chefs in the city. She pulled on one of the heavy handles and stepped into the building, immediately getting bombarded by more delicious smells of cooked meats, veggies, and spices from within. The immediate area was a spacious lobby with a very handsome young man in a button-down shirt behind the greeting desk.
“Good evening, ma’am.” He greeted with a warm smile. “Do you have a reservation?” Neo would have answered him, but her attention was already elsewhere. The lobby had several cushioned benches for those awaiting their tables, and sitting with her legs crossed in one of them was a stunning woman. She wore a gorgeous knee-length black dress that wrapped up around her neck and left her shoulders open. Jagged red lines criss-crossed over the dress, all joining off-center near the bottom to form an artistic rose design. She wore black heels to match and had her dark red hair down, framing her face. Those brilliant silver eyes were already on Neo, bringing warmth to her heart and a smile to her face. The mute turned to the greeter and pointed over to her girlfriend, to which he nodded warmly and extended an arm for Neo to join her in the lobby. Ruby stood to greet her and the two fell into a tight embrace, separating only to plant a tender kiss on each other’s lips.
“Happy anniversary!” Ruby giggled. Neo signed back ‘you too’, one of a handful of sign language phrases Ruby had picked up on so as to not force Neo to break out her semblance to conjure picket signs as often. The two of them sat back down on the bench together, still holding hands and leaning sideways against each other. “They said our seats should be available right on time, so about another five minutes.” Ruby explained, stroking the back of Neo’s hand with her thumb. “How was your day?” Neo gave a tired smile before conjuring a greeting card in her hand with her response.
“Fine, spent a lot of it in a meeting with the usual suspects. Ironwood wouldn’t shut up about wanting to push Salem back further. You’re a huge upgrade in quality of company.” The ‘usual suspects’ Neo was referring to were a small council of Oscar, Ironwood, Theodore (Shade Academy’s headmaster and Ozpin’s contact from this kingdom), Qrow, and the two maidens. They had been debating for weeks now if they should be pushing their position forward in the war and Neo was just tired of hearing the same shit time and time again. War tactics were FAR from her area of expertise, but she attended the meetings to keep Ruby and her team informed. The redhead snorted at her message when she was done reading.
“Yeah, well, what else is new, right?” She asked. Neo smiled and shrugged in agreement, letting the card dissipate and wrapping her arm around her girlfriend. She knew she didn’t need to communicate, in writing or otherwise, that a night out together was just what Neo needed after all that. Ruby hugged her back, leaning her cheek against the crown of the shorter woman’s head. “You don’t hear it enough, but you deserve all the thanks in the world. I know you’re out of your element a lot and certain people have probably already forgotten the risk you took in joining us, but I never will.” Neo pouted her lip appreciatively and squeezed Ruby tight. She felt a couple of warm, comforting kisses on top of her head as Ruby rubbed her back. Almost mercifully, before the overly-wholesome redhead could really make her cry, the greeter walked over to notify them that they could make their way to their table.

The four-course meal prepared for Neo and Ruby (along with their tablemates) lived up to the high expectation that Blake had set. Every bite had so much flavor packed in that Neo oftentimes found herself just letting the food rest within her maw rather than chewing it up. Ruby seemed to thoroughly enjoy herself as well, though the endlessly impulsive girl would always forgo savoring the food in favor of taking a new bite. She finished every course before Neo, so the ice cream girl begrudgingly let her girlfriend mooch some of whatever she had left each course. Anyone else would have gotten the steak knife brandished at them, but Ruby was the exception to that rule, like so many others.
With their bellies full, Ruby and Neo left a nice tip for the staff before departing for their hotel. They didn’t get more than five steps out the door, however, before Ruby froze. Half a step later, Neo recognized why: the center of the large intersection that the restaurant was located on had amassed a small group of people. All of them were dancing, some just swaying their hips, others dancing with partners, to upbeat street music emanating from the center of the group. Ruby whipped her head toward Neo and beamed, her silver eyes practically shining. Neo smiled too, happy that they would get to partake in their little tradition on their anniversary.
Wordlessly, Ruby pulled Neo towards the impromptu dance party before twirling her into a starting stance. The reaper’s hand snuck behind Neo’s back and Neo rested her hand on Ruby’s exposed shoulder. Finding the rhythm, the two began to move together. It was nothing flashy, but it was practiced, fluid, tender, and intimate. This was special for them; ever since their first date when they had danced in Atlas for just the one older man playing a guitar, dancing to street music had been a tradition on their dates, whenever possible. Neo didn’t know if there was a “moment” she fell in love with Ruby, but that first dance was definitely one of the initial sparks. Now, each subsequent dance only added kindling to the inferno.
The song ended and everybody clapped for the performers, all of whom gave a wave. Plenty of lien was dropped into their shared box of tips, including some from the happy couple. They decided to stay for one more song, which ended up being a more mellow, lighter song, one perfect for holding a loved one and swaying to the music. Neo spent the whole song with her arms wrapped tightly around Ruby. She rubbed her hands along the athletic body that she already had committed to memory, feeling every familiar little detail. The assassain, the villain that she once was, would never have stayed with anyone long enough to be able to commit things like that to memory. That woman had been a fool; Neo would never let herself forget everything that was Ruby Rose so long as she lived. They did leave after that song, partially due to Neo’s growing impatience at not being able to get her hands on EVERY part of her girlfriend.

As Neo and Ruby walked through the main entrance of The Dunes Luxury Hotel, Ruby made to break off to the front desk, but Neo maintained her firm grip on the redhead’s hand and continued walking towards the elevator. Ruby looked at her with confusion, so Neo raised a mischievous eyebrow and produced a key card from her cleavage.
“Oh! You…checked in already?” Ruby asked. Ready to start playing with her prey, Neo twirled the card in her fingers before using a little sleight of hand to slip it away and replace it with one of her illusory signs.
“Of course, I had to make sure everything was ready for tonight. <3”
“Ahhh, well then lead the way, I guess.” Ruby chuckled playfully, her cheeks blushing pink. Neo gave her a wink before pulling her along towards the elevator. Once they were inside and the doors closed, Neo didn’t waste any time. She threw Ruby against a wall, pinned her body in place, and began to ravenously make out with her. To anyone else, and hopefully to Ruby, it just appeared as if the petite woman couldn’t wait any longer. To Neo, however, this was just the first move in their little game. She had a scenario in mind that the two of them had tried out a couple times in the past, and the results had always been…favorable. In every sense of the word. This initial assault of kisses was just to see if Neo could throw Ruby’s balance off a little and perhaps tip the scales in her favor. She broke it off just as the elevator reached their floor and left her reaper teetering against the wall.
They departed the elevator on one of the top floors, where the suites were located. Neo pulled Ruby along, around a corner to room number 737. Whipping out the key card once more, Neo swiped it along the door’s lock, but only opened the door enough to stick her foot in. Keeping the door open, she turned and beckoned Ruby forward with one finger. She gave her girlfriend one more deep kiss before pulling back and playfully sticking the key card between Ruby’s teeth. Neo pointed two fingers at her own eyes as she closed them, then held up both hands with all fingers extended outward. Opening her eyes, she saw the message click in Ruby’s mind as the redhead’s pupils dilated.
“Close your eyes and count to ten.”
With a devilish smile, Neo slipped into the suite and closed the door behind her. With lightning speed, she unzipped her dress, let it pool around her feet, and kicked off her heels. She left all the clothes where they were as a tease for Ruby, now standing in a very sexy strapless black lace bra and a tiny black thong only big enough to cover her sex and not much else. The entry room of the suite was a well-furnished living room, so she quickly darted through another doorway, one she knew led to the bedroom. The bed was king-sized, softer than a cloud, and sported almost a dozen pillows of varying size. At the foot of the bed were two long ribbons, one pink and one brown, that the hotel most certainly had not put there; Neo had pre-placed them here when she had checked in earlier, and they played into her and Ruby’s game. The mute minx couldn’t wait to defile this bed, but now was not quite the time.
She darted over to the large wooden cabinet in the corner of the bedroom, useable for guests who had nice formalwear that they wanted to hang up, and hoisted herself on top of it. Her gymnast (assassin) training made it child’s play, so Neo had a couple seconds left to perfect her illusion. Pressing herself against the wall, she called upon her illusory semblance, which had been sharpened and expanded by the maiden’s powers. Her entire body and what little clothes she still had on assumed the off-white color of the wall behind her. As long as she didn’t move, it was nearly impossible to see her from the front. The trap was set just as she heard the suite door open.
“Hmmm, looks like someone has started without me.” Purred Ruby in the other room, no doubt seeing Neo’s discarded dress. “I suppose I’ll have to play catch-up however I can.” Neo heard the distinct sound of a zipper and felt a heat begin to pulse in her nethers. One of the sexiest things about Ruby is how much she loved leaning into the little games Neo enjoyed in the bedroom. As she heard the footprints of her beloved begin to pace around the next room, she steadied her breath to wait for her moment. Finally, the door to the bedroom opened, and Ruby’s head peeked into the room.
“I know you’re in here, my sweet little morsel.” She growled, almost predatorily. Neo maintained an internal smug smile…until Ruby pushed into the room and she saw what her lover was wearing. Like Neo, she had gotten creative with her choice of underwear, and not just because she had been in a dress. Her crimson panties clung high around her hips in a fine mesh but were wide open between her legs and along her butt, completely crotchless. She also wasn’t wearing a bra, instead electing to cover her nipples with black pasties in the shape of an X that read “FUCK ME!”. The rest of Ruby’s athletic yet sensual womanly curves were on full display, and Neo felt her jaw go a little slack. That little succubus…she was playing the game too. Ruby punctuated her entrance by taking a big stretch up, showing off all her lithe muscles built up from being a huntress.
“Oh, and dear me, here I am so…vulnerable. And exposed…” Ruby’s words dripped with a muted hunger as she lazily picked up the pink ribbon from the bed and examined it. “And clearly someone here has some ill intentions for me, whatever will I do if they catch me?”
Neo grit her teeth and told herself to keep it together…Ruby was trying to draw her in. The game went on until one woman was able to successfully tie the other’s wrist to a bedpost. The winner then got to tie up the loser’s other wrist and…well, what happened from there was up to the winner. Semblances were obviously allowed, given Neo’s disguise, with the exception that Ruby couldn’t use hers to escape being pinned or escape her restraints. Neo forced herself to remain silent and immobile as Ruby gathered that her taunt had not worked, so the sultry crimsonette began to slowly spin in place, scanning the room. Occasionally, she would pause and observe a particular spot in the room. Neo considered making a dive at her during those, but she knew Ruby’s reflexes were too quick. She needed the reaper to get underneath her.
Ruby reached the corner where Neo was hiding in her scan of the room and took another moment to pause. Neo stared her girlfriend down, hoping the silver eyes hadn’t discerned her disguise. Staying still was beyond difficult with Ruby staring up at her in that slutty outfit, but Ruby eventually passed over her and began to walk towards the bedroom door, away from her. Neo let herself breathe in relief, unsure what Ruby was examining, but her pause was short-lived. Petals burst from Ruby’s form as she disappeared into a cloud of scarlet rose petals and arced across the room, directly at Neo. Shit. Move!! Her cover blown, Neo dropped her illusion and kicked off the wall into a dive towards the ground, evading Ruby’s grasp at her wrist by only a few inches. Ruby stood triumphantly on top of the dresser, looking down at her prey.
“Next time, check where the AC vents are, your hair was fluttering a bit.” She advised, cockily. Neo leered at her, a mixture of competitive drive and unbridled lust, as she snagged the remaining brown ribbon from the bed. In a flash, Ruby flew from the top of the dresser, using her semblance to sweep around Neo and get behind her. Now it was Neo’s turn to grin. Predictable, as always, Ruby. Neo drew the brown ribbon around in a loop just behind her right hip, knowing that Ruby’s wrist was right there, trying to grab her own. Sure enough, she pulled it tight around a forearm that was lunging for her, but could not dash out of the way from the grapple. Neo felt Ruby thrust her arms under Neo’s armpits to put her in a full nelson, pressing her own almost nude body against Neo’s.
“Nice move.” She snarled in Neo’s ear, giving it a small lick. “But you’re getting on that bed.” Neo pressed her butt backwards into Ruby’s groin, grinding her plush cheeks into the strong thighs. Rather than immediately get the ribbon around Neo’s wrist, Ruby slowly edged them towards the bed. It was impossible for Neo to not appreciate her girlfriend’s body pushing into her back, the plush mounds on her chest squished against the shorter woman’s shoulders. They struggled intimately against each other, grinding skin-to-skin, as Ruby inched them ever closer. Neo knew she could slither out of this hold if need be, so she let Ruby carry her along, waiting for the perfect moment. Unfortunately for her, Ruby was not quite as predictable as Neo had anticipated.
“Game over, beautiful.” Ruby sneered before she opened her maw up wide and sank her teeth into Neo’s neck, right above her clavicle. This was a POWERFUL weak spot for the young fall maiden, and having been worked up from the stimulating contact already, she couldn’t help letting out a breathy gasp as her legs turned to jelly. Ruby pushed Neo forward onto the bed and pinned her face-down, laying her larger and heavier body across all of Neo’s limbs.
Neo huffed from below Ruby, knowing the game was lost. Was it a cheap shot from Ruby to exploit an erogenous zone of hers like that? Maybe. Would she have made the exact same move if the roles were reversed? Oh, absolutely. Therefore, she didn’t let the loss get her down as she felt Ruby tie up her left wrist, instead getting herself excited to pleasure her girlfriend.
“That was fun, wasn’t it?” Ruby purred from on top of Neo, finishing her knot securing the pink ribbon to a spot on the footboard. She loosened the knot on the brown ribbon around her own wrist and slipped it around Neo’s, eventually tying her up so that she was lying chest-down, facing the foot of the bed. Ruby dismounted the bound woman and paced around to stand in front of Neo’s face, smiling smugly. Neo leered up at her with a sultry grin before sticking her tongue out and blowing a raspberry at the cocky huntress.
“Aww, now I’m sure you can think of a better use for that tongue, can’t you?” She giggled menacingly, stepping forward and placing her hands on either side of Neo’s head. Her strong fingers laced into the pink and brown hair as Neo focused on the enticing sight directly in front of her. The crimson fabric clinging to Ruby’s hips was all just window dressing to the exposed and aroused lips between her legs. Ruby had trimmed her hair down, leaving just a small patch right above her drenched sex. Neo could guess that their playful antics had acted as foreplay to Ruby as well as herself, so as the hands pulled her towards the delectable-looking treat, Neo aimed her lips for the small bud sitting directly at the top and gave a long suck when it touched her lips.
“Ooohhhhhh, Goodddssss.” Ruby sighed, pressing her fingertips harder into Neo’s skull. The multicolored maiden smiled and gave the wet folds a small motorboat, stirring them up with her lower lip and chin as she kept light suction on the clit. Lewd sucking noises escaped Neo’s mouth as she moved, trying to play up the eroticism for her kinky girl. She stuck out her tongue and thrusted her chin forward to try and reach Ruby’s base, taking a slow lick upwards as she slid the bridge of her nose along the clit. Her captor’s hips bucked in excitement, so she dipped her tongue back down and began to slither it between the soft lips. Neo lapped up as much slick nectar as she could as she orally worshiped her girlfriend.
“Yes, yes…YES, oh Gods Neoooo…” Ruby’s praises came in and out like the tide as she swam in her arousal. Neo could feel the grip on her head fracturing as the fingers trembled in her hair. In a flash, Ruby pulled away and dropped to her knees, planting her silver eyes right in front of Neo’s pink and brown ones. Neo licked her thoroughly messy lips enticingly as Ruby drew her in for a heated kiss.
“Do...do we have any…toys?” She asked breathlessly once the kiss was broken. Neo bit her lower lip and smiled sultrily, pointing with one of her bound hands toward the cabinet she had been hiding on top of. Ruby dashed to the wooden dresser and threw it open, seizing the small leather case Neo had left in there earlier in the day. The toy inside was one they were both incredibly familiar with, both as a giver and a receiver, so Ruby wasted no time in pulling out the black leather straps and pearl white Atlas-tech dildo. It took the speedy huntress less than fifteen seconds to get the strap-on assembled around her hips and the vibrating bead in the crotch situated how she preferred. Neo wiggled her ass in the air excitedly, as if she was wagging her tail, as Ruby climbed up on the bed behind her.
“Are you ready for me, gorgeous?” She asked, slipping two fingers along Neo’s slit, finding it wet and aroused. Neo clenched up her whole body in delicious anticipation, and as she stretched back out to spread her legs for Ruby, she flared up her semblance. Ornate, cursive black letters appeared on her body as an upper back tattoo. Neo felt Ruby grab her hips in excitement as she read it.
RUIN ME
“GodsDAMN you are so hot.” Ruby breathed as the tip of the toy pressed against Neo’s entrance. “Ohhhhh that’s my good girl.” Over a year of practice, Ruby had become wholly proficient in dirty talk. The toy squeezed into Neo at a deliciously slow pace as the mute let out a long exhale of relief. An all-too-familiar stretch emanated from her groin, making her toes curl. The bead within Ruby’s crotch piece was audibly buzzing now that the toy was being used, bringing the redheaded top (for the evening) her own pleasure as she pushed further into her girlfriend.
Just as Neo’s passage began to settle, acclimated to the girth of the toy, Ruby withdrew and thrusted in a vicious hump. Neo could feel her cheeks bounce from the force and melted under Ruby’s touch. She gave her ass a little wiggle as encouragement just as Ruby did it again. And again, and again, and again. Ruby settled into a more fluid in-and-out motion, which Neo knew from experience offered better stimulation from the vibrator.
“Urrrrgghh, you look so sexy under me, Neo.” Ruby growled through heavy breaths. She laid her body forward to press her chest against Neo’s bare back. The toy withdrew just a bit because of the less optimal angle, but the amount of skin-to-skin contact between the two of them made their grinding so very intimate. Neo could feel the X-shaped pasties on Ruby’s nipples pinned under the soft tits. Ruby lowered her head so that it was over Neo’s shoulder, letting Neo lean sideways and nuzzle their cheeks together lovingly. The reaper’s hands snuck under Neo’s prone form and began to greedily squeeze the shorter woman’s breasts. Neo was hurtling towards climax with the intense fucking intermixed with the tender affection. Ruby’s squeaky moans alerted Neo that she was in a similar place before the words came out.
“I’m…I’m close, Neo!!” She whined, squeezing both of Neo’s breasts tighter as she thrusted harder. Shoving her butt upwards for more stimulation from the toy, Neo clenched all her fingers and toes as her dam broke. Her mouth stretched wide in a silent scream as she came around the toy, her walls clenching around the fake cock. A few seconds into her orgasm, she heard Ruby take a loud, gasping breath and thrust once more as deep as she could. Tiny little moans escaped Ruby’s lips as she came as well, both women pressed tightly against each other as their climaxes rocked their bodies. Slowly, they brought each other down from their respective highs, keeping the close contact as much as possible. When they were both coherent and catching their breath, Neo caught Ruby’s eye. They both smiled broadly before sharing a wet kiss. Neo pulled a small sign from the ether and held it in her bound hand for Ruby to read.
“That’s just the first <3”
As Ruby giggled and playfully slapped her jiggly ass, Neo pondered how she had fallen so deep in love and how much farther they had yet to go.
