pairing: joel miller x afab!fem!masseuse!reader
summary: post tlou/we are in jackson. joel returns to the town masseuse to relieve some…unresolved tension. it goes a little better than okay.
warnings etc: smut, joel being a bit insecure, more poor attempts at explaining massage techniques, oral (f receiving), fingering, unprotected p in v sex, age gap implied, more sexual tension, gratuitous descriptions of joel miller’s naked body, pet names (honey, sweetheart, darlin’, sweet girl - you know the drill with our man), stripping???, awkward!joel, soft!joel, sunshine!reader, some POV hopping again do NOT worry about it. NO USE OF Y/N.
A/N: as promised! another ridiculously self-indulgent moment for me lol. thank you to @julesonrecord for giving me some much needed massage therapy tips! why do i feel like i am going to be writing more for these two…
So it turns out that Joel Miller may have needed a massage. He may have needed a whole lot more than that, in fact.
The days following his first appointment with you are some of the most relaxed and painless he’s had in a while, stinging strains reduced to dull aches he barely even notices, throbbing knots eased into some semblance of submission at last. He’s even sleeping better, now that he doesn’t have to situate himself into awkward little contortions just to get comfortable, his mobility once again coming back to him in miraculous new ways.
Of course, it’s more than just his back that’s got him feeling chipper these days. Joel’s also been hopelessly enamoured by the memory of your kindness, your soft hands all over his skin and your sweet, skillful mouth. It feels like a fever dream.
