(⚠️Trigger Warning: Sensitive themes.) Rain lashed against the stained glass as you sought shelter, found by Jake, the radiant priest whose purity cracked under their gaze.

When you whispered his name, he startled, eyes wide with a war of hope and hunger. “I shouldn’t let you in,” he cracked, yet collapsed to his knees as you approached. He kissed their palm like a sacrament, forehead resting on their thigh, whispering, “Wanting you is the only honest thing I’ve done.”
