“I’ve been wanting this for so long,” I heard myself say. 
Jack brushed his lips over the soft skin of my neck. “Me too. You have no idea.” 
I let myself go in that moment, needing to just feel as Jack and I moved against one another as one. My heart was slamming against my ribcage as I felt him press against me, his knee gently parting my thighs.

Dancing With Danger

As predicted, I didn’t sleep the night before. Before the sun even thought about peeking up over the horizon, I rolled off my sleeping bag and got up, heading to the ferry. It was a strange feeling as I stood against the side of the boat and watched the city get closer and closer. 


Stepping off the boat, I started to wander between skyscrapers. I felt even more like I didn’t belong there, as if the city itself had kicked me out. I decided not to take the subway all the way to the precinct, needing the walk in order to calm my nerves. 


I hadn’t been to the city since I was kicked out of the company. It felt wrong to be there, not just because I had basically been banished, but because I hadn’t left on the best terms. I realized that when Abbie died, a part of me died along with her.
