Akari hated being cold.
The only thing she hated more than being cold was being cold and wet.
Sadly, the blizzard that had been raging around her didn't care about that, though.
She let out a frustrated grunt as she stuffed her hands deeper into the pockets of her winter coat, hoping and praying that she'd at least be able to make it to the hot springs for a rest. Her supplies had diminished considerably during this survey, so even with the blizzard finally dying down, she didn't think she'd be able to make it back to base camp without taking a breather first.
Even her Pokémon were already worn out, exhausted from all the fighting against the alpha Pokémon that had thought her easy prey in the snowstorm. They'd probably enjoy the rest as well.
So with a determined grumble, Akari continued trudging in the direction she presumed was west, praying to Arceus that she hadn't lost her way.
~*~
Akari could have cried when the rocks and hills finally peeled away to the familiar sight of the hot springs. Before she even thought about it, her numb fingers were already fumbling open the clasps of her outfit, struggling but eventually managing to get them open so she could drop her clothes on the ground.
She grit her teeth and groaned as the hot water seemed to set her legs on fire as she walked into it. Maybe it hadn't been the best idea to wade into the water so quickly, but she couldn't have waited any longer, so she'd just have to bear it. At least, there were no Pokémon in the spring for once.
"Oh, look who we have here."
Akari screamed.
"Myfuckinggod, Volo what the fuck!!" She didn't know whether she wanted to cover herself, or use that hand to deck him.
He lifted his hands in a placative gesture, even as a teasing smirk was still tugging on his lips. "My, you must have had a terribly hard journey here." As Volo's eyes roamed over her body at these words, over the scratches and bruises that were undoubtedly covering her, Akari became acutely aware of just how naked she was.
She sighed and rolled her eyes, refusing to acknowledge the heat rising up her cheeks, because if Volo wanted to be smug about surprise jumping her yet again, fine. She at least wouldn't give in to his taunts.
So instead, Akari just let herself sink deeper into the water. She hissed at the first contact with it, but the sensation vanished quickly, leaving behind warmth that finally relieved the ache in her sore muscles. When she looked up, Volo was still sort of menacingly looming over her, the water barely going up to his hips with how tall he was.
She grumbled softly but gave in. "Yeah, blizzard's hit me unexpectedly, and I couldn't stay in the cave I was scouting because mama Zoroark definitely didn't like me." She hadn't even intended on catching any of the Zorua there, not really, but the Zoroark didn't care much for that.
"So I had to get out of there before she made me into potato mochi." Akari snorted and rubbed her face with her now blessedly warm hands. "What're you doing out here?"
Volo finally relented and sat down in the water next to her, his hair, let down for once, gently fanning out behind him before it got soaked and sank. Surprisingly, it was as long as her own. Huh.
"Hmh, I was just picking up some things from the Pearl Clan when the snow storm hit," he said as he stretched. Akari tried really hard not to stare at his flexing muscles. "I'd already made my way towards Avalugg's Legacy by then though, so there really wasn't any point in turning around."
Volo smiled. "Luckily, my little friend is quite adept at finding hiding spots, so she showed me this hot spring." He pointed up, and when Akari followed the direction of his finger, sure enough, there was his Togekiss circling above.
Akari smiled too, happy to see that he'd finally found the Shiny Stone he'd been looking for. For all that he was really getting on her nerves occasionally, it did relieve her that he'd be a little safer on his travels with a fully evolved partner.
"Lucky." She stretched too, and groaned when all of her vertebrae seemed to crack at once. "I had to battle free my way to get through to here, so I'm running low on basically everything." A sigh escaped her at that – she'd hoped to be able to push that train of thought away for a little longer, but oh well.
"Lucky for you, I'm always well prepared to help a friend in need!" Volo replied cheerily, in that overly enthusiastic manner that occasionally slipped out.
"If I have the coin, huh?" Akari raised an eyebrow and smirked softly. There was no way he wouldn't want payment for this.
"Oh, what do you think of me?" Volo theatrically pulled a hand to his chest, even as he started returning her smirk. "Do you think me this heartless?"
"So, you'd give me your things for free?" Akari challenged, and leaned in to continue to purr, "All these Revives, Potions, maybe even some Pokéballs … you'd just hand them over?"
To his credit, Volo didn't flinch, but instead just hummed and wrapped an arm around her. "Well, not entirely without payment, I suppose." He smirked softly and tugged her closer, until she was sitting in his lap. "Not everything has to be solved with money though, don't you agree?"
Akari shuddered at how forward he was, barely able to register what had happened before she was already pressed against him. Her hands were resting against his firm chest now, with her fingers brushing his nipples, and she couldn't believe her luck. For weeks, if not months, she'd been eyeing Volo now, but had never been able to figure out how to make the first step. With this, she wouldn't have to worry any longer.
A giddy sense of excitement bubbled up in her as Akari adjusted herself in Volo's lap, very much trying not to show how delighted she was when his half-hard cock brushed against her thigh. She hummed and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"What did you have in mind, then?"
~*~
Volo hadn't thought it would work. He had been reasonably sure Akari had been watching him recently, the prickling feeling in his neck whenever he was around her too suspicious to be anything else. But he'd never straight-up caught her looking, so there had been no guarantee she actually had an interest in him and he wasn't just making this all up.
The way Akari pressed herself against him now was very obviously needy, though. He smirked softly as he stroked his hands down her sides before gripping her hips and pulling her even closer. She'd been getting more and more muscular lately, and Volo could definitely feel that as she squeezed his thighs between hers and pushed herself against him.
She'd really grown into her role in the Survey Corps, and Volo couldn't say he didn't watch her with interest on that. Maybe he watched her a little too intently, sometimes. Especially when she was wearing that pretty kimono of hers on her off days, the one that showed off more of her collarbones and chest than should be allowed-
Volo's cock twitched at the thought.
"Isn't it quite obvious, darling?" he mumbled into Akari's ear, not even trying anymore to hide the smirk that was tugging on his lips as she shuddered.
Volo leaned in further and trailed deceptively soft kisses down from the spot behind her ear to where her neck met her shoulder. It drew a quiet sigh from Akari as she melted against him, only her hands moving as she tangled them in his hair.
As soon as she'd let her guard down completely, Volo struck. He bit down, not hard enough to break skin, but nearly, nearly there, and sucked harshly, adding another pretty bruise to Akari's body. He so loved to see her marked, and to now have the possibility to finally mark her himself made his cock throb. Maybe she'd even end up with a pretty collar of bruises around her neck at the end of this, showing everyone that she was his now.
Akari didn't seem to mind though. She moaned and tensed up, but showed no signs of pulling away, instead even leaning her head back to give Volo more space. A colorful litany of curses left her as Volo placed another mark right next to the first one, reveling in her sweet reactions.
By now, he was achingly hard where his cock was pinned between them both, so close to just being able to push into her. He let one of his hands wander down from her waist, instead grabbing her ass and squeezing it a little. It felt just as wonderful as he'd thought, and he couldn't help but grab her other cheek as well before spreading her a bit.
In retaliation, Akari leaned in and marked him too, her soft lips a thrilling contrast to the painful sting of the bruise. Volo's breath hitched as she pulled back with a self-satisfied smirk. Arceus, she was beautiful like this.
Not being able to control himself any longer, he leaned in and captured her lips in a kiss, swallowing her moans as he thrust one finger inside of her. Immediately, he was overwhelmed by how passionately she kissed, all lips and tongue and so painfully experienced. As good as it felt, it set off a pang of jealousy – with whom had she done this before?
Volo didn't get to dwell on it for long though; before he could really lose himself in it, Akari started whining and wriggling her hips needily. Volo chuckled softly. It was far from him to deny her when she was so beautifully desperate, so he complied and started fucking her with his fingers again.
~*~
Akari eventually broke the kiss and shifted to lean her forehead against his, the only sounds between them their breathing and the gentle splashing of the water.
"Fuck," she whispered as Volo's fingers found her sweet spot, "please fuck me- God, fuck, Volo, please-!"
When Volo didn't show any intention of moving, Akari whimpered and dipped one of her hands under the water's surface. If she had to do this herself, then fine. She simply couldn't wait any longer.
A shudder ran through her as she wrapped her hand around Volo's hard cock, excitement bubbling up inside her when she realized how thick he was. As she gave it a few slow strokes, quiet moans kept escaping Volo and she smirked. She definitely wanted to hear more of those.
So, slowly, Akari shifted in Volo's lap while still stroking his cock, hoping he'd be distracted enough that he wouldn't notice how she carefully positioned herself above him. With a victorious grin, she then pulled her hand away and sat down on his cock, not expecting how it knocked the breath out of her with how perfect it felt.
Volo's grip on her ass tightened and he let his head fall back as he moaned loudly.
"Akari- fuck-"
He thrust up into her a few times before he even seemed to realize he was doing it, but it was enough to have Akari cling to him for dear life, her nails digging into his back.
"Feels so good," she whimpered softly and squeezed down on his cock hard. For a moment, both of them just panted, overwhelmed by the pleasure washing through them. "I've waited too fucking long for this-"
Akari sighed and slowly started moving then, just watching Volo's expression change into one of pure bliss as she milked his cock. She didn't know why she knew how to do this, but when Volo cursed her name as she rolled her hips, she knew she was doing something right.
With a smirk, she pulled one of his hands to her clit before leaning down to kiss him again, his little, desperate sounds sending shivers down her spine. Oh, she loved this.
"Why don't you help me, hmh?" Akari mumbled against his lips as she picked up her pace again. Pleasure quickly sparked through her when Volo caught on and started circling her clit and she let her head fall back as she moaned. "Ah- fuck, like this, yeah-"
Their pace didn't stay slow for long, as both of them quickly got to the point where they were each chasing their orgasms. Volo's grip on her hips tightened, and he started thrusting up to meet her halfway, the force of it making her whole body shake.
Akari moaned shamelessly and scratched down his chest. Volo's reaction was instant, a hiss that turned into a moan, before he flipped them and pressed her against the rock. Before she could even say anything, he'd picked her up already and started thrusting again, the angle making her see stars.
She kicked her legs and scratched over his back this time, loud moans tumbling from her lips as she fought for the upper hand again. But no dice. His grip was steely, almost sure to leave bruises as he picked up his pace even further.
Akari looked up and locked eyes with Volo then, and the strange spark in them made a shudder run down her back. She whimpered and squeezed down on his cock, helplessly lost in the pleasure that was wrecking her.
Volo leaned in and sucked more bruises into her neck as his pace got more frantic. "You're mine, finally," he growled and bit down hard, hard enough to taste blood.
Akari cried out and came harder than she ever had before.
She barely held on as Volo fucked into her a few more times before tipping over the edge as well and filling her with his cum. They were both panting as he leaned his forehead against hers, a blissful smile tugging on his lips.
Akari chuckled breathlessly and pulled him closer to bury her face in his neck. "Fuck, Volo," she whispered and grinned. "Why didn't we do this before?"
He mirrored her chuckle and loosened his grip on her as he let them both sink into the hot water again. His hand found her hair and he stroked it gently while she was just floating comfortably in the afterglow.
"Didn't think you'd want to," Volo mumbled and placed a kiss on her head. "But you seem full of surprises, darling."
Akari cracked one eye open and looked up at him, amusement sparkling in it. "So are you." She lifted her hand and felt over her marked-up neck. "How am I supposed to explain these, hmh? Think your Potions also work on humans?"
Volo's finger joined hers in tracing the marks. "Maybe. But I prefer you with them visible." He smirked and lightly nipped at her shoulder.
Akari rolled her eyes and softly slapped his chest. "You're such an ass." She grinned.
"Hmh, you knew that before, though." He looked positively wicked as he said it.
Akari sighed, "Oh, what did I get myself into here?" before tangling her hands in his hair and pulling him into another kiss.
