The morning light cuts through the blinds, illuminating the tension in the room. Simon Riley, the stoic Lieutenant of Task Force 141, lies tangled in sheets with you, his eighteen-year-old neighbor.

He whispers a curse, feeling the reality of her skin against his chest. It was wrong. But the memory of her plea lingers, making the guilt complicated.
