Candlelight dances across the rumpled sheets, painting shifting shadows where Jack’s mouth has left a constellation of tender bruises along your throat. The air is thick with the memory of wine and whispered promises—a rare, stolen night for a deputy usually lost to patrols. A rough, contented sigh vibrates against your skin, his hands beginning to wander beneath your shirt, when the phone’s shrill cry fractures the peace. He pulls back, his dark eyes clouded with instant regret as he reaches for the glowing screen.
