Pope is here because Smurf told him the property needs checking on. At least that’s the story he’s feeding himself.
And it makes sense. There’s water damage in one of the downstairs units and some dipshit’s been stripping cooper out of the laundry room again. If it’s not one thing going wrong, it’s another.
This building’s always two steps away from falling apart. Someone has to stop it from going to hell completely.
Plenty of good, rational reasons to be here.
None of which do a thing to explain why he does not move from being propped on the hood of his truck just yet.
He stays at the curb as he watches the building’s familiar pulse of seedy activity.
It’s not even the worst spot owned by the Codys, not by far, but that doesn’t make it good. It’s definitely not good enough for you, not by a long shot. Run-down. Full of people who loiter outside longer than they should and pay too much attention to things that aren’t theirs.
A woman argues fervently on the stoop, body tense enough he can see the harsh jut of her collarbone from here. Two boys pretend to clean their bikes by the courtyard, their hands moving in repetitive, meaningless circles, rags never actually removing any grime.
And then there’s the smoker, with a long beard and crooked nose, leaning near the stairs, smoke rising around him.
Pope watches his sleepy gaze harden suddenly, tracking something straight ahead.
Pope’s neck cranes as his vision tunnels into pinpoint clarity, finding what the man found first: you.
Walking up the sidewalk with two grocery bags hooked over your wrists, pink flats picking their way carefully over the buckled concrete, skirt the same shade catching around your knees every time the breeze shifts. White cardigan buttoned all the way up over your chest despite the heat.
You don’t hurry. That bothers him.
You move through the courtyard with no care in the world. Unaware of the eyes that linger on your body, the curiosity you unwittingly ignite.
God he hates this place most when you’re in it. Without you, it’s just brick and mortar. But with you here, everything is suddenly hostile. A million scenarios blooming in his head. Someone following you from your car, someone hiding just around the corner waiting for you to pass by, a neighbor deciding your door lock doesn’t look so hard to force open.
He has tried to get you to stay at Smurf’s countless times now, using different tactics each time. Gentle coaxing, stubborn demands, pushing you into the kind of corner where the only real choice was already decided for you.
And those all work most nights.
Still, every now and then, for reasons unbeknownst to him, you insist on sleeping here.
So every now and then, he comes and sits off to the side, his truck parked discreetly out of view. Always staying within striking distance should anyone dare to try anything stupid.
Thankfully he hasn’t had to act yet, people know better, whispers exchanged in doorways and hallways: that pretty little thing tucked away in apartment 2B is Cody territory. Off limits.
It takes him four long strides to reach you.
He comes up behind you without saying anything, partly because he doesn’t want to startle you and partly because he wants to see how long it takes before you notice a man his size coming up behind you. Too long, apparently.
You don’t notice him when his shadow cuts across the pavement beside yours, not when his boots hit the concrete close enough you should hear him, not even when he’s right behind you, inhaling the faint sweet drift of your perfume over the dirty air of the courtyard.
You just keep walking, grocery bags bumping into your legs every second step, head angled down as you watch your feet over the cracked walkway.
Then you stop so suddenly he nearly runs into you, boots scuffing against the ground in the process.
Nearly turns into definitely when you move again, bending at the waist to grab a little carton that had tumbled out of your bag and rolled near your shoe.
He can’t dodge you fast enough before he’s crashing against you, the ample of your backside pressed flush against him, your skirt skimming his denim-clad thighs.
He grits his teeth, swallowing down the groan lodged somewhere in his throat, and his hands shoot out to grip at your waist. Half to steady you, half to hold himself back.
You jump, a sharp little gasp tearing out of you as you twist in his hold, eyes wide, lips parted.
But the fear vanishes when you realize it’s him. Dissolves so quickly into relief, then blossoming into that lovely smile of yours Pope spends half his days obsessing over. Lip gloss glistens like honey under the afternoon sun, squinting at him through the harsh glare.
“Pope,” you breathe, like he’s something good that happened to you rather than the man who decided to follow you through a parking lot to prove a point.
His fingers flex once before he makes them let go.
“You don’t pay attention,” he tells you plainly.
You smile pinches at the edges a little, like you’re trying to decide whether he’s teasing you or scolding you. You seem to assume the later. A good assumption.
“I do pay attention,” you insist, the words coming out with the stubborn certainty of someone who has already decided they're right. Then you glance down at the sidewalk as though it might testify on your behalf. One of the grocery bags slips lower on your wrist, plastic stretching, and you hitch it back up with a small huff of effort. “I was paying attention to the ground. Because last week I almost twisted my ankle right there.”
Pope follows the line of your finger.
Without a word, he reaches for the bags. His hand closes around the handles and lifts them clean off your arm before you can object. You make a small noise of surprise, letting him take them.
“What if it wasn’t me coming up behind you?”
Your brows pull together. “But it was you.”
“Yeah, but what if it wasn’t?”
You hesitate visibly, your fingers weaving together, rocking onto the tips of your shoes. You look almost apologetic when you speak. “I dunno.”
Exactly, he thinks.
He breathes out very slowly through his nose to keep the worst of his frustration from showing. It still sits heavy on his face, he’s sure. In the hard line of his mouth, in the way his hands tighten around the plastic bags until the handles stretch thin.
“You gotta be more aware,” he says, dipping his face towards yours, almost pleading. His gaze flickers anxiously over your face, desperate for more reassurance. “Can you do that for me? Check around when you get out of the car, look before you walk up the stairs, take a second before you open your door.”
You open your mouth to speak, something potentially defensive at the tip of your tongue, before you reconsider, shoulders sinking just a fraction.
“For me,” Pope urges again. No room for misunderstanding.
And because you are you, you give a gentle, almost reluctant nod in surrender. You have a hard time fighting him on anything.
He returns the gesture with his own stiff nod. He knows you don’t fully understand the fuss, not completely, but you’re trying, and that has to be enough for now. He’ll shoulder the rest.
He moves towards the staircase, leaving you to catch up. You hurry to follow behind him.
“Why’re you here anyway?” you voice after him. “Did I miss rent or something?”
Pope doesn’t turn around; doesn’t trust himself to look at you without giving too much away.
“No,” he replies, casual, like it’s not something he thinks about every single month.
You would never be late. You are a meticulously precise creature. Keeping track of everything, neat little numbers, due dates, confirmations, all of it lined up exactly the way you like, and then you get that pleased look on your face when you send the payment, like you’ve done something worth being proud of.
Which you have. He lets you have that. But he can’t stand taking your money.
So every month he waits until that little deposit appears, waits another day or two to avoid suspicion, then finds a way to get it back to you.
Sometimes it’s hidden in elaborate Cody business expenses; other times Craig’s buddy does some invisible computer shit to push numbers back into your account, nothing ever traced to pope.
And occasionally, he just leaves cash in places he knows you’ll find it. In your purse, between pages of a book you’ve left out, tucked behind a coffee mug.
He loves hearing you puzzle over it. You always chalk it up to luck, or fate, or some karmic gift from the universe. Never once suspecting Pope’s fingerprints on every cent.
It all sounds more complicated than it actually is.
Really, it’s just logical. You need the money. Pope has the money. Problem solved.
At the steps, Pope pauses, gently nudging you ahead of him.
It’s a selfish move. He’s got a bad feeling you don’t have shorts under that skirt, and he’s not in the mood to have that confirmed by anyone standing behind you. Better him at your back than anyone else. Better him blocking the view.
As if to confirm his fears, someone over his shoulder lets out a short laugh. “Man, a girl that pretty oughta let me buy her dinner. Hell, maybe I’d even send her home wearing a pearl necklace.”
Pope looks back and finds the bearded cigarette smoker slouched against the vending machine, filter hanging loose between two fingers, eyes still fixed on you with that same open, filthy interest. He’s got a buddy with him now, some wiry little shit standing half a step to the side, not looking too sure of himself now that Pope’s facing him.
Pope thinks about how easy it would be. Pin the guy up against the machine, forearm to windpipe, watching the smartass shine drain out of his eyes. Pictures crushing the cigarette into the soft part of his cheek. But he can’t do that without scaring you off.
So he crouches just enough to place the bags on the stairs without jostling them, eggs and bread and whatever else cushioned upright where it won’t tip.
When he rises, he goes back the way he came, jerking his head in your direction. “You talkin’ about her?”
“Just complimenting her.”
“No,” Pope says. “You weren’t.”
The wiry friend shifts back half a step. Smart.
The bearded man tries to recover, but it’s too late, Pope can already see the little glint of fear sputtering in his eyes, igniting as he sizes him up.
He lifts the cigarette to his mouth. “Ain’t that serious, man.”
Pope reaches out and plucks the cigarette from his fingers before it gets there. Drops it to the concrete. Crushes it under his boot.
“Look at her again, talk about her again, I’ll make sure the next thing I crush under my boot is your throat.”
The bearded man opens his mouth.
“Don’t. I’m tryin’ real hard not to scare her,” Pope growls. “Don’t make that difficult for me.”
The man’s eyes flick once past Pope, towards the stairs, toward you, then snap back fast like even that was a mistake.
“Alright,” he mutters finally, hands lifting a little. “Didn’t mean nothin’ by it.”
A lie. A terrible one, at that. But Pope doesn’t spare the man another look. Just turns, grabs the grocery bags, and comes back up the steps to where you’re perched on the landing, watching him with that dazed little expression of yours.
“I don’t even like pearls,” you whisper to him the second he gets close enough. “They’re kinda old-ladyish.”
Pope shuts his eyes for half a beat.
“Yeah,” he finally sputters, tips of his ears burning a little. He ushers you towards 2B. “C’mon. Inside.”
The inside of your apartment is cute. Small as it looks from the outside and from what he can see through your window at night, but it’s cute, all pinks and whites and soft little girlish details scattered across every surface.
There’s a coffee table crowded with tiny trinkets he can’t make heads or tails of, glossy little objects with no obvious purpose except that you liked them enough to bring them home.
And it’s clean. He likes that it’s clean. Clean means he won’t spend the time here distracted by dust in the corners and fingerprints on glass, trying not to imagine bleaching every inch of it.
He carries the bags into the kitchen and sets them on the counter one by one. Behind him, you wobble a little taking off your shoes and catch yourself on his shoulder.
It leaves a searing brand behind when you pull away.
“What was that out there?” you ask.
Pope shrugs. “Nothin’. Guy’s just a dick.”
He winces inwardly as soon as he says it. Dick feels too crude aimed anywhere near you, and he has to resist the urge to take it back and replace it with something nicer.
“It’s not like he said anything really bad or anything,” you say, shrugging in a way that suggests you’re used to it.
Used to being stared at, cat called, talked about. And maybe it shouldn’t surprise him, given who you are.
He’s seen it before, at Smurf’s parties, men practically stumbling over themselves to offer you a drink, eyes tracking every movement you make. Drivers nearly wrapping their cars around telephone poles because their heads turn too fast when you walk down the street.
You’re beautiful. Beautiful enough that people can’t help staring at you. But Pope’s never been forced to hear it firsthand, never had to stand there while some pervert talked about putting a pearl necklace across your throat and chest. And you don’t even understand what he was saying.
He could handle it. He could handle it right now. If the guy’s still lingering around when Pope leaves, he might just have to. The asshole will be out of this building tomorrow regardless, he’ll will make damn sure of it.
Your hand touching his arm snaps him out of it. He looks down and sees your painted fingers resting there, cautious like you’re not sure what’s going on in his head.
“Pope?”
The heat cools just enough for him to breathe. He rubs a hand over his jaw. “He said somethin’ bad enough.”
You cock your head to one side. “Taking me to dinner isn’t exactly the worst offer I’ve ever had. And like I said, pearls aren’t really my thing, but it’s a nice sentiment, I guess?”
Pope shoves his hand through his hair, forced to take a step back because standing this close to your face is messing with him.
“Look a pearl necklace isn’t… it’s not jewelry, okay? It’s not fuckin’ nice. Do you hear what I’m saying?”
You fold your arms over your chest, your hair slipping forward and partly covering your face. Pope’s fingers twitch at his sides, fighting the impulse to reach out and brush it back into place.
“Not really… I— well,” you pause, fingers drumming along your left arm. “What else could a pearl necklace be, if it’s not jewelry?”
His blood pressure ticks up exponentially. Why must you make everything so difficult?
“I’m not gonna explain it. Just trust me, it’s not somethin’ appropriate for anyone to say to you.”
“What happened to ‘I’m an adult’ and ‘it’s my call if I wanna know stuff’?”
Shit. He did say that, didn’t he?
Pope takes a deep, irritated breath, wishing he could turn back time and rip his own vocal chords out. This must be his own purgatory. Cursed to answer all your sex related questions for all of eternity and unable to do anything about it.
You trust him. That much is obvious. He doesn’t want to abuse that trust. A Sisyphean task. Endless. Futile.
“Alright, look. It’s slang for a guy… finishin’ on you. On your throat, your chest, wherever.” His voice is strained, worried he might break something delicate in you just by saying it. “It’s disrespectful. Sleazy.”
You blink, eyes huge as you look up at him, clearly stunned by what you just heard. You shake your head slightly, trying to puzzle it out. “So it’s… disrespectful if someone does that to you?”
Pope cracks his neck, wincing slightly, as if the right words are somewhere trapped there and refusing to come out easy.
“Christ — yes,” he grumbles. Then quickly, backtracking, “I mean no — no, it ain’t disrespectful if it’s something you, uh, wanted someone to do, but it’s disrespectful for someone to say shit like that to you unprompted.”
“Oh, well, yeah, that was gross,” you agree, wrinkling your nose.
Then you turn away from him, starting to put away the groceries with a distracted, absent-minded care. He thinks he’s in the clear, that you’re satisfied with his sparks note version of the definition.
He’s eyeing the door, when you pause again, bottom lip caught between your teeth, a bag of carrots dangling in your hand.
“Why would someone even want to do that to someone? The guy, I mean? Not him specifically, just, like, any guy? Is that something… you think about? Like a lot?”
He coughs, almost choking, and a hot flush creeps up the back of his neck.
There’s an instant headache pulsing behind he eyes as he tries desperately not to picture exactly what you just asked him.
Is it something he thinks about? Not until this moment. Not until he imagines those same wide and trusting eyes looking up at him as he spills milky white ropes of cum across your bare chest.
Christ. He’s no better than that asshole downstairs, thinking shit like that about you.
He presses two fingers to his temple. “No, it’s not like I sit around thinking about stuff like that.”
It feels like a fib now.
“So why would someone wanna do that at all?”
Because it would feel good, he thinks. Immediately. The act itself, yes, but the claim in the aftermath. The evidence left behind.
The way people are always trying to leave marks on things they like. Names carved into desks. Initials scratched into trees. Dogs pissing on fire hydrants.
You stare at him expectantly, waiting for an answer.
He looks at the wall behind you, at the cheap paint and the little crooked shelf you’ve decorated with candles and a tiny ceramic flower.
Anything but your face. Anything but the curve of your throat. Anything but the where your shirt dips when you shift closer.
“It’s…” He cuts himself off, jaw ticking. “It’s visual.” The word sounds dragged out of him. “That’s part of it. Men are wired like that. And part of it’s ego. They wanna see you messy like that. Wanna see that you let ‘em do it.” His mouth flattens. “It’s not always romantic. A lotta the time it’s just selfish.”
“But maybe it depends on who it is? Like doing it to you?” You continue to worry your bottom lip between your teeth. “Like… if it was someone safe. Someone you trusted a lot.” A tiny crease forms between your brows. “And if it was something you wanted too, couldn’t it be kind of romantic?”
Pope goes still. All his blood seeming to rush downwards as the question lands between you like something lit, something rolling close to dry brush.
He can feel the conversation slipping somewhere it shouldn’t. He needs to reign it back in, regain control.
Instead he says, “Could be. If you trusted ‘em. If it was somethin’ you were askin’ for, or… into. Not somethin’ that’s being pushed on you.”
You go quiet, turning that over.
Then, in that soft, absentminded way of yours, like you don’t realize you’re lighting a match in a room full of gas, you say, “I guess that makes sense. A lot of things probably feel different with a person you trust.”
You’re looking at him so intensely he has to take another step back. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
He doesn’t say anything for a minute. Can’t. Your gaze moves back down into the grocery bag with a shrug, sweet and unaware that you’ve just handed his imagination enough to ruin the rest of his night.
He’s corrupt for wanting to be that person for you. The one you trust enough to paint your body. To teach you all this dumb shit, but with his hands, with his mouth, with his cock.
He clears his throat hard, grabs the last bag off the counter even though it’s already empty, then sets it right back down like he forgot what he was doing in the first place.
“Yeah,” he says finally, voice flat in that way it only gets when he’s holding too much under it. “Maybe.”
He leaves not long after that. Before you ask anything else. Before he can give into his urges and contaminate you with his darkness.
By the next afternoon, the guy downstairs is gone.
Smurf’s property manager tells the tenants it was a lease violation. Some issue with unauthorized guests, late rent, maybe smoking too close to the building. Nobody asks too many questions. Nobody wants to.
And a few days later, you mention in passing that the creepy man by the vending machine must’ve gotten into some kind of accident.
“His face looked weird when he was packing up all his stuff,” you say, frowning a little. “Like he burned himself or something.”
Pope just hums, eyes on the road.
He doesn’t tell you cigarette burns heal terribly.

It was late at night. Too late, you kept telling yourself, to be having thoughts like this.
Despite being in your loving boyfriend's arms, you couldn't stop yourself from thinking about how his face would like going. Leaving you behind like so many people had already done, tossing you away like a piece of trash that was useful and fun while it lasted. You knew he loved you, but you couldn't stop your mind from running like a hamster on a wheel.
You two were curled up on the bed in his Pittsburgh apartment, his scrubs left in the closet for the following morning. Jack breathed heavily in his sleep, not quite snoring but not quite silent either. His thick arms were looped around your waist, holding your back to his bare chest, feeling his heartbeat soothingly through the layers of skin and clothing.
If only his heartbeat could slow down yours.
One hand under your cheek, the other placed over Jack's, you lay wide awake in the moonlit bedroom. You wish you silence the thoughts in your head; what if he woke up one day and decided he didn't love you anymore? What if he found somebody better? What if you were too ugly, too boring, too simple, too much? What if he found you annoying but hadn't said anything yet? What if—
You couldn't lay still anymore. Carefully prying Jack's arms off your waist, you slid up to a stand beside the bed, tugging on Jack's sweater discarded on the floor. You padded to the balcony, glancing back to Jack still sleeping in bed, making sure he was still unconscious before clicking the glass door shut behind you.
Your bare feet hit the cold concrete as you let out a long breath, the cold night breeze brushing through your hair and causing a shiver to rack through you. You folded your arms over the balcony railing, leaning forward to look out at the houses and windows and lights of the city.
The words "I love you" coming from Jack's lips repeated like a mantra in your head, recounting every time he was affectionate, physically or orally. Every hug, every kiss, every pet name, every date. None of it seemed to silence the negativity.
He doesn't love you, and if he does, he won't keep loving you. You're worthless, stupid, boring, ugly unloveable, useless, naive—
You were so caught up in your head you didn't hear the balcony door open open behind you and Jack's footsteps coming closer until he spoke up. "Doll?"
You turned, not meeting his eyes; just acknowleding his presence before looking back over the railing.
"What're you doing up so late?" He rasped, clearly still sleepy but concerned for you.
"Just thinking." You responded quietly. It wasn't a lie, but it was a hell of a simplification.
You could feel Jack staring at you through a solid minute of silence before he stepped foward, even closer, reaching over to tilt your head to his with two fingers under your chin. Not commanding, just soft guidance.
"Don't lie to me, baby. What's going on in that pretty mind of yours?"
"Go back to bed." You mumbled, looking down at his chest instead of his face.
"Not without you, doll. C'mon."
Numbly, you let Jack lead you off the balcony, pulling you around to the bed and gently pushing you down. He crawled on after you, laying face to face on your sides. Without words, he put your hands on his shoulders before brushing one hand over your hair.
"You feeling like shit again?" Jack asked bluntly, even in that quiet tone of his. He was trying his hardest to be soft and nice, like he knew loving partners were supposed to do. Years in the military had hardened him up, to say the least.
You just gave a little nod, not trusting yourself to speak without crying.
"Y'know you're perfect, right?" Jack whispered in that gravely voice of his, low to not disturb the peace, leaning down to press soft lingering kisses to your neck and jawline. "My perfect girl. Love you so much."
"Don't lie to me." You mumbled before you could think through your words. You knew it was a terrible assumption to make, but you were too lost to truly believe him.
"I'm not lying." Jack quickly replied, pressing a firmer kiss to your pulse point. "Why d'you think I'd lie to you?"
"I'm not…I'm not perfect. I'm not the dream girl. I…it's too hard to describe this."
"You don't have to." Jack murmured against your neck, lips and nose brushing the sensitive skin, hot breath almost making you shiver. "Whatever shit you're thinking, it's not true. I love you, not some faceless chick. Only want you in my life."
"Promise?" You whispered tearfully, holding up a pinky. It was childish, you knew, but you needed the reassurance.
He took it without question. "Promise."

Location: The family house. Time: 7:34pm.
He had to be doing this on purpose.
Every way you walked, Jack's eyes followed on you like he had something he wanted to say. He was sitting on the back porch, nursing a beer in between his big hands next to your dad and uncle. For forty-six, he seemed to blend right in as a relative despite being the family friend since you were a child.
The scent of the smoky grill and your boyfriend's cologne was all you could smell as you stood to the side in your little sundress, arm looped around his bicep as the sun slowly started setting. You and Jack seemed to be having a stare-off, which ended with him turning his head back to your father and laughing at a joke.
Typical. He'd start eyeing you and then look away when you look at him back.
"We should get going." Your boyfriend — Aaron, was his name this time — said, taking one last sip of his ginger ale and setting it down on a nearby table.
You nodded in agreement. Many visitors had already left; despite being a small early-summer meet-up, there had been more relatives than you had expected, leaving you feeling almost a little buzzy. You hadn't even drunk anything more than some water to beat the heat.
Your boyfriend starting leading you to the house, where you could leave from the front door. Unfortunately, that meant passing by him.
Your dad and uncle had gone to pack up the barbaque grill, leaving Jack alone on the back porch. He shifted in his seat when he saw the two of you heading up the few steps to the door.
"Leaving so soon?" Jack asked with that small smug smirk he always seemed to have with you.
"The sun's setting." You replied plainly as your boyfriend went to open the door. You always felt guilty when you saw Jack; guilty of the way your gaze lingered too long, guilty of the thoughts you had at night, guilty of only imagining him when in bed with a new boyfriend. You didn't like getting new boyfriends all the time, but none of them were who you wanted.
You knew who you wanted. You would never admit it.
"Let's go, baby." Your boyfriend said, holding open the door for you.
"Baby?" Jack echoed, quirking up an eyebrow. He knew what he was doing; he wanted to keep you both there longer. "How long've you been together?"
"Two months." Your boyfriend replied with a polite smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"Huh. Longer than the last one." Jack observed, giving you a pointed look. You bristled — sure, you had a lot of boyfriends, but he wouldn't understand what was always going through your head. He never would. He didn't get the thoughts, the fantasies about pinning you down to the bed, taking whatever he wanted, saying all kinds of dirty things in your ear…
"What does that mean?" Your boyfriend asked, glancing between you and Jack.
"Nothing." You quickly diverted, resting your arm on your boyfriend's bicep and pulling him out the door before Jack could say another word.
Location: Burrow Park. Time: 12:48pm.
You were embarrassed, to say the least.
After a messy breakup with your boyfriend — all because you maybe accidentally moaned Jack instead of his name when you were in the heat of things — and now you were alone. Again.
Instead of laying hopelessly in your bed, you decided to take a book and soak up the summer weather in a little tank top and shorts. The neighbourhood was small, with you still staying at your dad's house for a few weeks, so you didn't worry too much about who would see you.
Which is what you thought until a strikingly familiar voice called out behind you; "Doll?"
You turned. Jack stood a few feet behind you, holding a coffee cup in one hand, dressed in jeans and a plain tee that stretched just right over his muscled chest and toned arms. You swallowed at the sight, the pet name not even registering in your brain.
Jack smirked at you, walking over and sitting down on your plaid picnic blanket like he owned it. "What're you doing out here?"
"It's a nice day." You mumbled, shutting your book softly on your lap.
"Shouldn't you be here with that…guy? Alex? Aaron?" Jack questioned, even though he looked like he damn well knew already.
"Shut up." You pushed at his shoulder, which was not a great idea, as the feeling of him under his shirt made heat flush down to your core. How could one man have such an affect on you?
"Do you really want me to?" Jack leaned in, offering his coffee for a sip. He watched you intently as you took it, manicured hand brushing his and lifting the cup to your lips. The coffee lightly burned your tongue; you put your mouth in the middle of the lid, hoping for a taste of him. If you got one, you didn't recognize it.
"What happened this time?" Jack quirked an eyebrow at your slightly flustered gaze, taking the cup back and setting it down on the grass.
"Why do you care? It's not like you've dated recently." You shot back, crossing your arms over your chest and trying very hard to not notice how Jack's gaze dipped down for a split second.
Jack shrugged one shoulder effortlessly. "I still know how to please a woman enough to keep her around."
"And what does that mean?" You huffed, trying to sound annoyed. It didn't work very well, mainly since you knew exactly what he meant.
"Do you want a demonstration?"
Location: Jack's house. Time: 1:12pm.
The second that the door closed behind the two of you, Jack had you pushed up against the door.
You barely had time to look around the foyer before his lips were against yours fiercely, pinning you to the wooden door with a thud, knee easily slipping between your legs as one hand held both of yours together above your head.
"Still confused, doll?" He murmured against your lips.
You couldn't formulate words. You shook your head, chin tilting to chase his lips back to yours.
Jack just laughed under his breath. "That's what I thought."

Location: The family house. Time: 7:34pm.
He had to be doing this on purpose.
Every way you walked, Jack's eyes followed on you like he had something he wanted to say. He was sitting on the back porch, nursing a beer in between his big hands next to your dad and uncle. For forty-six, he seemed to blend right in as a relative despite being the family friend since you were a child.
The scent of the smoky grill and your boyfriend's cologne was all you could smell as you stood to the side in your little sundress, arm looped around his bicep as the sun slowly started setting. You and Jack seemed to be having a stare-off, which ended with him turning his head back to your father and laughing at a joke.
Typical. He'd start eyeing you and then look away when you look at him back.
"We should get going." Your boyfriend — Aaron, was his name this time — said, taking one last sip of his ginger ale and setting it down on a nearby table.
You nodded in agreement. Many visitors had already left; despite being a small early-summer meet-up, there had been more relatives than you had expected, leaving you feeling almost a little buzzy. You hadn't even drunk anything more than some water to beat the heat.
Your boyfriend starting leading you to the house, where you could leave from the front door. Unfortunately, that meant passing by him.
Your dad and uncle had gone to pack up the barbaque grill, leaving Jack alone on the back porch. He shifted in his seat when he saw the two of you heading up the few steps to the door.

oh hi there…just want to…riding dean winchester’s abs…are you feeling me? pretty pretty please even a small drabble🥹🥹
riding bf!dean’s abs
⟢ ྀ𓈒𑁥౿ “yeah, that’s it baby. juuuustt like that.” dean’s words are completely inaudible to you when you’re humping pathetically against his toned and solid stomach, leaving glistening trails of arousal all over his abs.
the concept of riding your boyfriend’s abs had never crossed your mind once. shocking, i know. but seeing him laid out on the couch shirtless looking like that? the sudden waterfall between your legs was an understatement.
“mm—uh, dean!” you gasp, eyes squeezing shut to just feel the moment. feel the way your hole clenches around nothing. feel the way your clit bumps over the defined ridges of his skin.
dean just groans, hands struggling to find where they wanna grab you. your waist, hips, tits, before finally settling on your ass, giving it a sharp smack. you cry out, the slap sending a wave of shock throughout your body, traveling to your core which was soaking his flexing abs to the bone more than before now.
“dean—” you whine his name incoherently, head falling down to hide your flushed face in his chest. he chuckles, squeezing your ass tight. “you close baby?” he asks in a low tone, lips finding yours.
you moan into the sloppy kiss, hips rutting over his stomach harder to chase that high. when he pulls back, it’s only to tut at you, kneading your already reddened backside. “jesus look at you. already ‘boutta cum from this ‘n i haven’t even fucked you properly yet, doll.” his fingers find your swollen, neglected clit, giving it the attention she needs—sweet, delicate rubs and little presses here and there while your hips continue dragging up and down on him.
you let out a broken sob at the overstimulation and his words, thighs shaking around his waist and pussy dripping so wet it should be a crime. the only right thing to do in this situation, should be to punish you for being able to cum faster on his abs than his cock. it’s honestly disrespectful, dean thinks. he fucks you stupidly good every single fuckin’ night. takes his time with you, makes sure you feel every inch of him inside your warm little cunt—and this is how you repay him? cumming quicker somewhere else not his dick?
so not right. but that’s okay. he’s being nice right now—but later, he’ll make sure you learn your lesson. “c’mon sweetheart—wan’ my cock in here next don’tcha?” he says more impatiently, giving your pussy a few quick smacks. you moan out loud, nodding dumbly. you’re so close. dean hums low, slapping your ass before his thumb probed at your tight rim, “yeahhh you do. now fuckin’ hurry up or i’ll stick my cock right here instead, huh?”
