[2026-04-16 05:30:00] Dave: 😘
[2026-04-16 06:25:00] Dave: Audio Message.caf Transcription: Good morning sunshine I hope you slept well. I have one very important question for you though. They kept me up all night So Seriously, serious question Why in the fuck do smoke detector batteries always go bad in the middle of the night and fucking beep when you're trying to sleep I don't know if you ever experience that but it is the fucking worst like they never go out during the day. It's always at like 2 AM which is what happened this morning And then I really like seven of them in the house and I gotta go like the way it echoes you can never tell which one's leaving so if you don't know, I guess when the batteries just fucking screech as loud as fuck like every 90 seconds and change the battery So yeah, that was it was my morning and creek fucking freaks out whenever that happens So he's like too upset to eat this So I hope you have a great day. I know it's Thursday so that's nice. Actually seems Not too bad of a week every Monday, Tuesday off So that's all I don't know what else other than I just want you to know what I have for and how much I love you and Can't wait to hear your voice. You're the best and I will talk to you soon. Bye.

[2026-04-16 07:55:00] Sam Willis: What in the actual fuck!!
[2026-04-16 07:55:00] Sam Willis: Poor creek
[2026-04-16 07:56:00] Sam Willis: Keeper used to be so so scared of the smoke detectors too. He would go outside and hide under a bench. Shaking so so much. Poor babes. 😭
[2026-04-16 07:56:00] Sam Willis: Sorry that was your morning, baby
[2026-04-16 07:58:00] Dave: Hahaha, thanks. It was annoying af. Right about the time I’d start to drift back off to sleep… BEEPBEEPBEEP
[2026-04-16 07:59:00] Sam Willis: Literal rage
[2026-04-16 08:00:00] Sam Willis: But you seem to be in good spirits!
[2026-04-16 08:01:00] Dave: Yeah, just a little extra tired.
[2026-04-16 08:02:00] Dave: Nothing this 2nd Monster won’t fix though 🫨
[2026-04-16 08:04:00] Sam Willis: My calves are sore AF and I guess it’s from walking the dogs last night. Normally I never have sore calves, but I was thinking…well, I guess I HAVE mostly been on my back the past few days…..🤭😉
[2026-04-16 08:05:00] Dave: Hehehe
[2026-04-16 08:05:00] Dave: Silly smiling at my desk rn 😋
[2026-04-16 09:15:00] Sam Willis: Transcription: Hi, finally on my way to work How are you happy Thursday? I do love that. We only had to drive into the office two days this week. Good for us. It would be amazing to have like three day weekends every fucking weekend at least three days. Anyway, I'm like so sad like how well rested I was In Dallas and then how not I am now but That's my fault because I stayed up when I stayed up late I mean like 930 but I just stayed up downstairs late. I finished that Noah Kahan documentary. Oh my God I was bawling like I didn't know what to expect. And like there were definitely things I learned about him and his life, but it already know Oh my God it All the feels I'm gonna be a fucking wreck whenever his album comes out in a couple weeks or like next week I think it's like nine days But anyway, no, the documentary was about like his last album like way huge and it was unexpected but like what happened is Covid had hit and he I don't know where he was. Maybe Boston or something I'm moving back home to Vermont. When Covid hit and so his whole album was like about loving being back home, but Haiti being back home because it's such a small fucking town in the middle of Vermont and like just like nostalgia and just all these things, I totally fucking relate to apparently a whole lot of other people to do it like skyrocketed And then like he knows out his dream of he sold out Fenway Park two nights in a row play the Madison Square Garden, but like that was all the peak and now I'm trying to re-create that for his next album and like the whole probably last third of the documentary is like just how after the crash of like Having such a success and going on this whirlwind tour now his mental health is like completely fucking shit and he's depressed and anxious about like I said you know like trying to Succeed again and he's like completely uninspired because now he lives in this mansion in Nashville and he misses home and Just and he's also like in his mid to late 20s at this point and like that's a whole lotta fucking pressure. I love how I'm talking about him. Is it like he's like a family member but anyway I just totally could like understand and I just oh my God and then one of the scenes was where you know how what does it make a wish or whatever like typically you know little kids that have leukemia or cancer or whatever and then they get to go and like me their favorite people oh my God, so this little girl who was probably like eight. Had some sort of cancer and so she went backstage and met him at his concert and he sang her her favorite song, which is also like one of my favorite songs and she is just bawling the whole time and her dad is there and her dad is bawling and Noah is just so cool and place her this song. I can't even talk about it. I'm gonna cry again. So neither I stayed up and finish that and then I was totally in my feels trying to go to sleep so I slept like shit That was very long way of telling you that I shit Yeah, so good thing I wanted to tell you first I have a question so did you change the batteries last night or did you like rip the fucking smoke detectors off the ceiling and be like fuck you I'll deal with you later Cause you mentioned, throwing one in a box so I was very confused But yeah, that is there 100% design that way this isn't just a fluke that it happens that way every fucking time and it is asinine. I don't understand but like fuck these people who decided to do it that way seriously OK, the other thing I was gonna say is that you mentioned how you were like silly smiling at your desk and I don't know if I've ever told you this but one of the things that I feel like most adorable about you actually it's quite sexy. is your smile like especially in pictures I can't even describe it, but you have this thing for like. Like it's not a cricket smile that doesn't that doesn't capture it like one side of your mouth is like little more than the other. I don't know. It's like adorable you have it like that. In the picture that I like, we know one of the other pictures that I like of you and that we took together I'll show you if you don't know what I'm talking about but you probably know what I'm talking about. It's so freaking cute. I love your smile. It's like it's like a kind of like a shit eating grin sore of smile I don't know it's super hot. But yeah What else I'm gonna tell you Oh, OK. So the fucking true crime show I was watching last night. It wasn't really murder. It was about betrayal. It was called betrayal it's like a new season of betrayal, which is like podcast. And this one was out of the UK and his fucking guy has told limit Women woman after woman that he had testicular cancer and that he used to and he has no liability to have kids completely infertile or he's told women he's had the second vasectomy so like anyway he's ended up having like getting a ton of these women pregnant And completely denying it even though DNA test so like yeah he's like they've done DNA test between the siblings. It's like yeah they're fucking siblings because you're the fucking dad you fucking twat anyway but the thing I was going to say is that he got so pissed off at this one moment because she filed for child support way that's also when she found out I guess in the UK I don't know how it is in the US. But in the UK they sent a letter. The child maintenance service is what it's called. They send the woman a letter saying OK here's how much you're gonna get in child support and like way like here's how many other kids he's supporting and there were four listed on there and she's like what the fuck like he told me he couldn't have kids and I thought this was like some medical fucking miracle anyway that's kind of how it started so she got fucking pissed off when she found out the truth, called them out on it. All that's her shit so then to retaliate this motherfucker sent an email somehow he knew how to email her entire firm. I don't know where she worked. She was doing IT type shit and explained in detail their sex like that. They had sex like three times and he only got off one time and. It was like Lou details about their sex and how she smearing his name and blah blah anyway so then to retaliate she like went fucking off and like made this Facebook group and to warn other women about him and then that's how she found like there's at least probably 13 other kids and it's just it's all the stuff then she like sued him and it was fabulous So long story short I cannot believe this guy did that about her work and also don't fuck with woman. That's all OK. I'm sure there's more I wanted to tell you, but I will think of it as I'm driving. I'm sure I probably am late for a meeting but OK bye

[2026-04-16 09:50:00] Dave: lol right
[2026-04-16 09:50:00] Dave: BUT IT ONLY NEEDED A LIGHT WASH 😱😱😱😱
[2026-04-16 09:51:00] Sam Willis: Which literally is gross bc it was completely full
[2026-04-16 10:39:00] Sam Willis: I just realized my office (and the others) have locks on them
[2026-04-16 10:39:00] Sam Willis: Interesting
[2026-04-16 10:44:00] Sam Willis: <no text>
[2026-04-16 10:45:00] Sam Willis: When you’re doing literally anything with my pussy lol. But literally, ah, crazy night in your car, when you reached down to finger me…absolutely took my breath away
[2026-04-16 11:05:00] Sam Willis: Oh I meant to type this earlier but got distracted. Another time was that last morning when I went to touch your dick and realized how wet your head already was and I just 🫠🫠🫠
[2026-04-16 11:07:00] Dave: Yeah that was super hot when I felt how slippery it got in your hand 🥵🫠
[2026-04-16 11:07:00] Sam Willis: Goddddd 🤤
[2026-04-16 11:19:00] Dave: Obviously anything you do to or with my dick takes my breath away 🫠. Unsurprisingly you know exactly the right things to do 🥵. Ofc the crazy night car scene was breathtaking. Still thinking though because I feel like there’s something else you do or say - something little - that always gets me. But I can’t quite put my finger on it…
[2026-04-16 11:22:00] Sam Willis: Oh! Kind of unrelated but I was thinking about this just a bit ago (and last night lol) but omg i loved how vocal you were during sex. Talking dirty. Telling me to look at you. Soooooooo fucking hottttttttt
[2026-04-16 11:22:00] Dave: This isn’t it, but I just wanted to also say: your hair feels really good to hold on to! It’s so thick and full 🥰
[2026-04-16 11:23:00] Dave: Oh yes, you looking up at me was soooo fucking hot 🥵
[2026-04-16 11:23:00] Sam Willis: You looking at ME was so hott!!
[2026-04-16 11:23:00] Sam Willis: I loveeeee that you have your hands in my hair, pulling it back 😍😍
[2026-04-16 11:23:00] Sam Willis: You looking at ME was so hott!!
[2026-04-16 11:35:00] Sam Willis: Thanks for making me feel so safe, baby 🥰
[2026-04-16 11:35:00] Dave: I also loved how in sync we were. At least I thought so anyway. Oh! I just thought of the thing that takes my breath away and it’s when you’re completely open, unashamed, and eager to try new things like all the toys, DP, etc. Whenever you show excitement in a txt, or posting on Reddit, or in person - my breath catches a little 🤭 Anyway, like I was saying… in sync. Especially how Tuesday morning flowed 🥵. But not just that, every encounter was so smooth and just… worked. Oh and one more thing. I think I already mentioned this but when you sucked my fingers (and dick) while they/it were still wet from being in you 👌
[2026-04-16 11:36:00] Dave: Add this to the things that take my breath away 🥰🥰🥰
[2026-04-16 11:36:00] Dave: Add this to the things that take my breath away 🥰🥰🥰
[2026-04-16 11:55:00] Sam Willis: “Open”. Hehehe 🤭
[2026-04-16 11:55:00] Sam Willis: “Open”. Hehehe 🤭
[2026-04-16 12:04:00] Sam Willis: I loved how slowly and deliberate you were eating my pussy. And the teasing. 🫠 I’m literally so fucking horny thinking about all this. I agree that every time was just such a good, natural flow ❤️❤️ It felt so good to be wanted AND to actually want!! You know? Like, could not get enough. I didn’t feel controlled or…managed… at ALL. Like I felt like you gave me the space to do or try what felt good to me, too ❤️
[2026-04-16 12:05:00] Dave: 🫠🫠🫠🫠
[2026-04-16 13:19:00] Sam Willis: So. Did you try out the new toy yet?
[2026-04-16 13:40:00] Dave: Hehehe, no. I opened the boxes but havent messed with them yet.
[2026-04-16 13:40:00] Dave: Probably gonna do that shortly
[2026-04-16 13:41:00] Dave: Or maybe take a nap lol
[2026-04-16 13:41:00] Dave: I was struggling the last couple hours at the office 😅
[2026-04-16 13:42:00] Dave: Like, ALL I wanted to do was just lay down and close my eyes.
[2026-04-16 13:42:00] Sam Willis: Go take a nap
[2026-04-16 13:43:00] Dave: If you insist
[2026-04-16 14:44:00] Dave: Why did you say Schwab wasn’t allowed to get into the mythos thing?
[2026-04-16 14:44:00] Sam Willis: I dunno. Not big enough I guess
[2026-04-16 14:49:00] Dave: Chris got the offer and accepted btw
[2026-04-16 14:49:00] Sam Willis: I wonder if Justin will go for it
[2026-04-16 15:00:00] Sam Willis: I’m having a day where my head is just spinning
[2026-04-16 15:00:00] Sam Willis: And like there’s no where to empty it
[2026-04-16 15:01:00] Dave: You know where you can empty it babydoll
[2026-04-16 15:01:00] Dave: Give me a few minutes to get off this meeting
[2026-04-16 15:03:00] Sam Willis: I’m ok. Just spiraling. I’m eating a cookie and listening to Noah on repeat 😂
[2026-04-16 15:03:00] Dave: Oh lord
[2026-04-16 15:05:00] Dave: K. Call me
[2026-04-16 15:05:00] Sam Willis: I know what set this off. But now I’m having a mini identity crisis.
[2026-04-16 15:05:00] Sam Willis: Let me get into my office. Just parked
[2026-04-16 15:06:00] Sam Willis: When’s your next meeting
[2026-04-16 15:06:00] Dave: Tomorrow sometime
[2026-04-16 15:06:00] Sam Willis: We don’t need to talk!! It’s all just dumb stuff probs from hormones and hanger
[2026-04-16 15:06:00] Dave: I want to talk
[2026-04-16 15:06:00] Sam Willis: 🫠
[2026-04-16 15:07:00] Sam Willis: I don’t tell you enough that I really really love you
[2026-04-16 15:07:00] Sam Willis: Oh that’s another thing on my mind.
[2026-04-16 15:08:00] Dave: Call me and tell me 😘
[2026-04-16 15:08:00] Dave: Call me and tell me 😘
[2026-04-16 15:08:00] Dave: But yeah, actually you do. You tell me exactly enough
[2026-04-16 15:12:00] Sam Willis: Do you still want me to call? Lol
[2026-04-16 15:12:00] Dave: Yeah
[2026-04-16 15:13:00] Dave: Durr
[2026-04-16 15:13:00] Sam Willis: lol
[2026-04-16 15:56:00] Sam Willis: <no text>
[2026-04-16 16:06:00] Sam Willis: Eeeee!!!
[2026-04-16 16:06:00] Sam Willis: That thing sounds powerful!!
[2026-04-16 16:06:00] Sam Willis: The spinning!!! Oh my 😳
[2026-04-16 16:07:00] Dave: It sounds louder on the video than it actually is
[2026-04-16 16:08:00] Dave: So then this thing has a bladder inside that creates suction, I think 🤔
[2026-04-16 16:13:00] Sam Willis: Ooooo that’s fun!!!
[2026-04-16 16:13:00] Sam Willis: Plus the bladder thingy is for easier cleanup, I assume
[2026-04-16 16:22:00] Dave: Ok… this is the view from my iPad which was connected directly to the max2
[2026-04-16 16:22:00] Dave: And this was from my phone connected to the vibrator
[2026-04-16 16:22:00] Dave: With video AND toy controls
[2026-04-16 16:23:00] Sam Willis: Whoaaaaa!!
[2026-04-16 16:23:00] Sam Willis: Video!!!
[2026-04-16 16:24:00] Dave: Yeah. I found out last time we talked about it that you have to start the video call instead of toy control.
[2026-04-16 16:24:00] Sam Willis: It’ll be hard/interesting to hold up the phone while also managing the toy. And possibly the controls lol
[2026-04-16 16:24:00] Dave: Haha, right?!
[2026-04-16 16:24:00] Dave: And the video will automatically have controls for the toys
[2026-04-16 16:24:00] Dave: Haha, right?!
[2026-04-16 16:33:00] Dave: 9434636207668275726605

The smoke detector had been chirping for forty minutes when Sam finally dragged the kitchen stool under it, and Dave, walking through the front door with his duffel still on his shoulder, found her there — barefoot, sleep shorts, tank top riding up, arm stretched to the ceiling, cursing under her breath like the battery had personally wronged her.

"Hi, baby."

"It will not stop," she said, not looking down. "I have been trying to pop this thing out for a literal eternity. They never go out during the day, have you noticed that? It's always — fuck — it's always the second you want to do anything."

He set the bag down. Watched her stretch. The line of her back, the little hollow at her waist, the way her shorts had ridden up one thigh. Six weeks since he'd been in the same room with her. He'd driven eleven hours and the last two with a hard-on every time he thought about her opening the door.

"Get down."

She heard it — the small shift in his voice, the thing he did when he wasn't asking. She looked at him over her shoulder and he watched her register the tone and stop arguing with the ceiling entirely.

"Okay." Quieter. "Hi."

"Hi." He held out his hand. She took it stepping down and he didn't let go, just turned her by the wrist and backed her against the counter and kissed her — slow, first, because he had been waiting — and then not slow, because she made that sound into his mouth, the small one, the one she made on video when she forgot to be composed.

"Upstairs," he said against her jaw.

"The detector —"

"I'll fix it. After."

"After what."

He pulled back enough to look at her. "You know after what."

Her cheeks went that particular pink. She nodded.

He walked her up the stairs with a hand flat on the small of her back, steering, and she was already trembling a little, the kind of tremor he knew by heart — not nerves, not cold, the thing her body did when she was crossing over into the place where he got to have her. Six weeks of screens and instructions and her getting herself off under his gaze. Six weeks of promising each other what they would do with their hands the minute their hands could reach.

In the bedroom he turned her to face the bed and stood behind her and took his time. Hands on her hips first. Up her ribs, under the tank, palms flat against her stomach. He could feel her breathing go shallow.

"Arms up."

She lifted them. He pulled the tank off and dropped it. Kissed the back of her neck where her hair was gathered, and then — because he had been thinking about this for the entire drive — he slid one hand down the front of her shorts.

She was already wet. Not damp. Wet. He made a low sound that was not quite a laugh.

"Sam."

"I know."

"How long?"

"Since — since you texted you were an hour out."

"So an hour."

"Yes."

"You didn't touch yourself."

"No, sir."

Something in him settled at that — sir, the word she only gave him when she meant it, when she was already halfway down — and something else in him pulled tight. He dragged two fingers slowly through her, from her clit back to her cunt and into her, just the tips, and her knees actually buckled. He caught her with his other arm around her ribs.

"Easy."

"I can't — Dave, I can't stand up if you —"

"Then don't."

He bent her forward over the edge of the bed, pushed her shorts down to her thighs, and went to his knees behind her. He wanted his mouth on her before anything else. He wanted the taste of her he had been thinking about for six weeks — not the memory of it, the fact of it, the actual salt and slick of her on his tongue. He spread her open with his thumbs and licked into her and she made a noise he felt in his chest.

"Fuck — oh my god — "

He ate her like he had something to prove. Slow at first, because he wanted to remember, and then not slow, because she was clutching the comforter in both fists and saying his name in a voice that had gone thready and high. He slid two fingers into her and curled them up against the place he knew, and her whole body jolted.

"I missed you," he said against her. "I missed this. I missed the way you taste."

"Please —"

"Not yet."

"Dave —"

"Not yet, baby. I just got here."

He pulled his mouth away and she whimpered — a real whimper, open-mouthed, wrecked — and he kissed the back of her thigh and stood up. She stayed where he'd put her, bent over the bed, shorts around her thighs, her cunt shining wet and clenching around nothing. He looked at her for a long moment. The view he had been starving for.

"You're dripping down your leg."

"I know."

"Do you want to turn over?"

"I want —" She turned her head against the comforter. "I want whatever you want."

He almost had to close his eyes at that. The trust in it. The way she meant it.

"Turn over."

She turned over. Her eyes were glassy already, and she was flushed from her throat to the tops of her breasts, and when he pulled her shorts the rest of the way off she lifted her hips to help him and then let her legs fall open without being asked. He stood at the edge of the bed and undressed, and she watched him — watched him the way she had told him, six weeks ago on a video call, was so fucking hot, you looking at ME was so hott, she'd typed, and he had saved the message — and her hand drifted down to her own stomach and stopped there, not touching herself, just waiting.

"Good girl."

Her breath hitched.

He climbed over her. Settled between her thighs. His cock slid through her wetness and she made a sound that broke in the middle, and he held himself there — not in, just against her — and looked down at her face.

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Eyes on me."

"Yes, sir."

He pushed into her slowly. All the way. She arched up off the bed and he watched her face go — the way it did, the way only he had ever seen it do — her mouth falling open, her eyes going wet without her crying, the particular stunned look of her being filled after having been without him for too long. He held still inside her and let her feel it. Let her feel how much she had missed him in a way her body had been trying to tell her for weeks.

"Breathe."

"I can't —"

"Breathe, Sam."

She breathed. Shaky. He kissed the corner of her mouth.

"Whose?"

"Yours."

"Say it."

"Yours. I'm yours."

He started to move. Slow, deep, the kind of fuck that was less rhythm than it was conversation — pulling almost all the way out and watching her chase him, sliding back in and watching her eyes roll. Her nails dragged down his back. She was murmuring things she wouldn't remember later — please, yes, more, there, god, you, you, you — and he kept his forehead pressed against hers so he could hear all of it.

"Look at me."

Her eyes opened. Wet, dark, blown out.

"I've been thinking about this for a month and a half," he said. "I've been thinking about getting you under me like this. About how you sound. About how tight you are when you haven't had me in a while."

"Dave —"

"You feel that?" He thrust deep and held. "You feel how you clench when I say it?"

She nodded, frantic. He could feel her — her cunt fluttering around him, already close, her thighs trembling against his ribs.

"Don't come yet."

"I — I can't — I'm going to —"

"Sam. Don't."

She whined. An actual whine, high in her throat, and her whole body was shaking now, and he loved her so fucking much he almost couldn't stand it. He slowed down. Gentled. Moved in and out of her at a pace that was just this side of bearable for both of them, and watched her hold on for him because he'd told her to, because she wanted to, because this was what she wanted — to be kept at the edge by someone who knew her well enough to keep her there safely.

Her tears finally came. Not sobbing. Just overflow — two slow tracks down to her hairline.

"There you are," he said quietly. "There's my girl."

"I missed you so much."

"I know."

"I missed you so much, I — Dave, I need —"

"I know." He kissed the wet track on her temple. "Come on. Come for me."

He thrust harder. Three, four strokes, deep, and she broke apart — her back arched off the bed, her mouth open on a sound that had no word in it, her cunt gripping him so hard he had to stop moving just to hang on. She came for a long time. Longer than he remembered. Her body locked around him in wave after wave and he stayed in her through all of it, forehead to forehead, watching her face do the thing he had been missing on pixelated screens for six weeks — the real version, the in-person version, the flush and the tears and the glassy drifting look right after.

When she could breathe again she reached for his face. Both hands. Held him.

"Your turn," she whispered.

"Yeah?"

"In me. Please."

He came inside her with her hands still on his face and her legs wrapped high around his back, and he heard himself say her name like it was the only word he knew, and she held him through it the way he had held her, and afterward he didn't pull out for a long time. He just stayed. Breathed. Let the eleven hours of driving catch up with him in the safest place he had.

Eventually he rolled them so she was tucked against his chest. Her leg hooked over his. The sheet pulled up over her shoulder because she always got cold after.

She was quiet for a while. Tracing the edge of his collarbone with one finger.

"The smoke detector's still chirping," she said.

"I know."

"Are you going to fix it?"

"In a minute."

"Mm."

He kissed the top of her head. She was still trembling a little, the aftershock kind, the way she did. He rubbed slow circles between her shoulder blades until it eased.

"Hey."

"Hm?"

"It's been a hot minute."

She laughed — watery, a little wrecked, entirely her. "Yeah. It has."

"Was it worth the drive?"

She lifted her head. Looked at him. Eyes still wet, mouth swollen, the pink all the way down her chest.

"You know it was."

"I know."

She settled back against him. The detector chirped somewhere downstairs, once, then again, indifferent to all of it. He'd get to it. In a minute. For now he had her under his arm and her heartbeat against his ribs and six weeks of wanting finally, finally quiet in his chest, and that was enough of the world for right now.

The tape recorder clicked, and the dead man kept talking.

Deputy Sam Reyes sat with her boots crossed on the motel desk, listening to a confession from a ghost. Three months since they'd pulled Franklin Doss out of the Ohio River with half his face missing, and here he was on cassette, laughing about the six women he'd put kids inside by lying about his name. A county prosecutor had mailed the tapes to the field office with a note that said make of this what you will, this is above my pay grade. Now they were above Sam's, too, and she was sitting in a motel in Jeffersonville with rain on the window and Dave Whitaker across the room cleaning his service weapon like the world was ending slow enough to enjoy.

"He's gloating," she said.

"Dead men often do." Dave didn't look up. The rag moved along the slide with the kind of patience that made her stomach feel hot and slow. "Play the part again."

She rewound. Doss's voice crawled out of the speaker, oily as a bait-shop floor. She thought she had me. Filed for child support. Can you imagine. Like paper was going to do anything.

Dave set the weapon down. He had a way of doing that — finishing a thing completely before he started the next — that Sam had learned to read like a barometer. When he moved slow, a storm was coming. When he moved slower, he'd already decided something.

"The woman filed the paperwork two days before he turned up in the river," he said.

"So we like her for it."

"We like somebody for it. Woman doesn't move like that alone."

Outside, a smoke detector somewhere down the hall began to chirp. Once. Pause. Once. Sam let her head fall back against the vinyl chair and laughed, weary.

"Swear to God, Dave. Two a.m. Always two a.m. Never once in the middle of the goddamn day."

"Mm."

"You ever think that's a whole conspiracy? Batteries watch the clock. Wait for you to finally be asleep."

He looked at her then. Four years of partnership had taught her every version of that look. This one was the one he used when he was thinking about something else entirely and she happened to be in his sightline, which meant he was thinking about her, which meant she could feel it in her teeth.

"Come here," he said.

She took her boots off the desk. Didn't stand up yet. That was the game — the half-second where she held her ground so he'd have to ask again, or come to her, or tell her with his eyes what tone of voice he'd use next.

"Sam."

The Virginia came up in it the way it always did when he wasn't performing anymore. Two syllables with river in them. She was out of the chair before she'd decided to be.

He was sitting on the edge of the bed. She stood between his knees, and he put his hands flat on the backs of her thighs, under the tail of her shirt, and just held her there. Not moving. Letting her feel the heat of his palms through the denim.

"You listened to that thing six times today," he said.

"It's the job."

"It's not the job right now."

"No." She looked down at him. The motel lamp made his scalp gleam, and she loved him so much in that second she thought she might say something stupid. "It's not."

"Tell me what you want."

"Make the beeping stop."

He almost smiled. "Can't do that one, darlin'."

"Then make me forget it."

His hands moved. Up the backs of her thighs, over her ass, fingers spreading so he cupped her whole. He pulled her down into his lap and she came down with her knees on either side of his hips and her mouth already open against his, and for a long minute it was just that — the slow, deep, unhurried kiss of two people who had the rest of their lives and also maybe only tonight.

She could feel him through the front of his slacks already, thick and shifting against her. She rocked against it without thinking and he made a sound low in his throat that she felt in her ribs.

"Tuesday," she said, into his mouth.

"What about it."

"Tuesday morning. When I woke up and put my hand on you and you were already — "

"I know."

"Already wet for me. Before I even — "

"I know, Sam."

"I liked that."

"I noticed."

He got her shirt over her head and threw it somewhere behind them. The air in the motel room was cool and she felt her nipples tighten before his mouth even got to them, and then his mouth got to them and she forgot about the air entirely. He sucked one and then the other, slow, with the flat of his tongue, while his hands worked her belt open behind her back with the same patient competence he brought to every mechanical thing in his life. She laughed, breathless, at her own body — at how wet she already was, at how her hips kept trying to grind down on nothing.

"You looking at me like that is so fucking unfair," she said.

"Like what."

"Like you've already decided what you're going to do to me."

"I have."

"Dave."

He lifted her off his lap like she weighed nothing. Set her on her feet. Pulled her jeans and underwear down in one motion and then his own mouth was on her before she'd registered he'd moved — kneeling on the motel carpet with his hands splayed wide on her ass, holding her against his face.

She grabbed the back of his head for something to hold onto and remembered there was nothing to hold onto, and her palm slid across his scalp and she laughed and then she stopped laughing because he'd put his tongue inside her.

"Oh — oh fuck — "

He wasn't hurried. That was the thing that undid her every time. The world could be on fire, the smoke detector could scream, a dead man could be confessing on tape three feet away, and Dave would take his time licking her until her knees went. He worked her open with his tongue and then dragged it up and flattened it against her clit and held it there, steady, letting her rock against him, letting her set the pace until she was gasping and trying to hold still and failing.

"Stay up," he said, mouth shining, looking up at her.

"I can't — "

"Stay up, Sam."

She stayed up. She didn't know how. Her thighs were shaking and her hand was braced on his shoulder hard enough to bruise and he put two fingers inside her and curled them and she came like somebody had cut a wire in her spine, loud, a sound she'd have been embarrassed about in any other room with any other man. He didn't stop. He fucked her through it with his fingers, slow, letting her ride it all the way down.

When she could stand on her own again, he stood up. Unhurried. Watched her face while he unbuckled his belt. She reached for him and he caught her wrist.

"On the bed."

"Yes sir."

That got her a look. She grinned, feral, and climbed up onto the comforter on her hands and knees and looked at him over her shoulder.

She'd sent him a picture three days ago. A screenshot from somewhere online, a position — her like this, him behind her, one of his hands on the back of her neck. I want this again, she'd said. It's been a hot minute. He'd written back I seriously can not wait to get you like this and he hadn't forgotten, and she knew he hadn't forgotten, because now he was kneeling up behind her and putting his hand flat between her shoulder blades and pressing her down until her cheek was against the motel pillow and her ass was in the air and she could hear him breathing hard through his nose.

"You remembered," she said, muffled.

"'Course I remembered."

He pushed into her slow. All the way, to the hilt, and she felt every inch of it because he made her feel every inch of it, and when he was all the way in he stayed there and she could feel his thighs trembling a little against the backs of hers and she loved him so much her eyes watered.

Then he started to move.

He fucked her with his hand on the back of her neck, not hard, just there — a weight, a reminder, an anchor. The headboard hit the wall in a rhythm that was going to embarrass them both at checkout and she didn't care. His other hand came around her hip and two fingers found her clit and he worked her there in the same slow rhythm he was fucking her in, and the whole thing was obscene and wet and unhurried and she was making sounds she couldn't have stopped if she'd wanted to.

"Quiet," he murmured, and she heard the grin in it.

"Make me."

He slid his hand up from her neck, around, and pressed two fingers against her mouth. She opened for them without thinking. Sucked. Tasted her own salt on his skin. He made a sound behind her — a real one, wrecked — and his hips stuttered and she knew she had him.

"There you go," she said around his fingers, wet, laughing, mean with love. "There you go, Virginia."

"Sam — "

"Come on. Come on, come on, come on — "

He drove into her three more times, hard, the last one so deep she saw spots, and then he was coming inside her with his forehead pressed between her shoulder blades and his whole body shaking against her back. She felt every pulse of it. She felt the sound he made go through her ribs.

He stayed in her a long time. Long enough that she got her breath back. Long enough that somewhere down the hall, the smoke detector finally, mercifully, stopped chirping.

"See," she said into the pillow. "You did fix it."

He laughed. He actually laughed, a rare one, short and surprised, and she felt it against her skin.

They ended up tangled on top of the comforter with the lamp still on because neither of them wanted to move to turn it off. His hand traced slow shapes on her hip. Her ear was against his chest and she could hear his heart doing the long, steady thing it did when he was happy.

"We're gonna close this case," he said.

"I know."

"And then I'm taking you to that place in Indianapolis. The one with the back patio."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah."

She thought about coming home to an empty house. About boxes and a signed lease and the strange weightless feeling of a door closing on a chapter. About how it wouldn't be an empty house, really. Not as long as he walked through it.

"Dave."

"Mm."

"Play the tape again in the morning."

"Yeah."

"Not right now."

"No," he said, and kissed the top of her head. "Not right now."

The rain kept on. The recorder sat on the desk, silent, holding its dead man for later. In the dark down the hall, somebody's battery gave up for good, and the room was finally, finally quiet.

The smoke detector in the hallway chirped at 2:14 a.m. and Dave was out of bed before Sam fully registered the sound, pulling a t-shirt over his head as he walked, cursing softly in the hallway dark.

"It's the middle of the goddamn night," he said to no one, to the ceiling, to the stupid plastic disc above his head.

Sam appeared in the doorway of the bedroom in one of his old henleys, hair loose on one side, face still soft from almost-sleep. She leaned against the jamb and watched him drag the kitchen chair down the hall.

"They never do it during the day," she said. "Have you noticed that. It's like they wait."

"They wait."

"They're sentient and they hate us."

He climbed onto the chair and she stood below him, arms folded, and he was aware — even like this, at 2 a.m., stepping on a chair in his underwear to silence a smoke detector — that she was looking at him. Not the way she looked at other things. The way she looked at him. He felt it in the back of his neck.

He got the battery out. The chirping stopped. The house exhaled.

"My hero," she said, flat, deadpan, and he stepped down off the chair and she didn't move out of his way.

"Move."

"No."

He set the chair aside. She was still in the doorway. Her arms were still crossed and her mouth was doing the thing.

"Sam."

"Mm."

"It's two in the morning."

"I know what time it is."

She'd flown in Thursday night. It was now Saturday, which meant technically Sunday, which meant they'd already spent Friday and most of Saturday not leaving the house for anything except a grocery run that had ended with his hand under her shirt in the parking lot and groceries forgotten in the truck bed for an hour. He'd thought she was asleep. He'd been wrong.

"You got up fast," she said.

"The noise."

"You were already half-awake."

"I was not."

"You were thinking about something."

He looked at her. The hallway light was off. The light from the bedroom spilled around her in a narrow frame, and he could see the shape of her through the shirt, the line of her hip where she'd leaned her weight.

"I was thinking about Tuesday morning," he said, because there was no point pretending with her, there never was.

Her mouth curved.

"Which part of Tuesday morning."

"The part where you reached over."

"And."

"And you were surprised."

"Because you were already wet."

"Yeah."

She stepped forward, finally, and put her hand flat on his chest, right over the sternum, and walked him backwards into the bedroom without saying anything. The backs of his calves hit the bed and he sat. She stood between his knees.

"I can't sleep now," she said.

"No."

"The adrenaline."

"Right."

She pulled the henley off over her head in one motion and dropped it on the floor and he put his hands on her waist before she'd even finished the movement, palms spreading over her ribs, thumbs along the underside of her breasts. She was warm from bed. She smelled like his laundry detergent and like herself.

"Lie back," she said.

"Bossy."

"Lie back."

He lay back. She climbed onto him, knee on either side, and she was wearing nothing under the shirt, which he'd suspected, and she sat down on him through his underwear and rocked once, slow, deliberate, and exhaled that specific shape she made — half sigh, half word, no vowels — that he'd been hearing in his head for weeks when she wasn't here.

"Fuck," he said.

"Mm."

"Take these off."

"I will."

"Now."

She smiled down at him and reached between them and pulled the waistband of his boxers down under his balls, not off, just out of the way, and his cock sprang up against her and she closed her hand around it without looking, without ceremony, and held it there, just held it, her palm warm, her eyes on his face.

"I missed this," she said.

"Same."

"I missed looking at you."

"Sam."

"You looking at me," she said. "You looking at me is the thing."

He put one hand on the back of her neck and pulled her down and kissed her and she was still holding his cock in her hand between them and she gave it one slow stroke, root to tip, and his hips came up off the bed.

"Easy," she said, into his mouth.

"You started it."

"I know."

She lifted up onto her knees and guided him to her and he watched her face as she sank down onto him, inch by inch, her mouth falling open, her eyes going unfocused and then focusing again, finding his, holding. She was so wet he could hear it. She went all the way down and stayed there and her forehead came to rest against his.

"Oh," she said. Just that.

"Yeah."

"Don't move."

"I'm not."

"Don't."

They stayed like that. Her breathing against his mouth, her weight on him, his cock buried in her to the hilt and her cunt gripping him in little involuntary pulses. He'd learned, over four years, that this was the part she needed most sometimes. Not the fucking. The pause. The moment of being held open by him and knowing he'd wait.

He stroked her hair back from her face.

"Okay," she said, after a while.

"Okay?"

"Okay."

She sat up. Put her hands flat on his chest. And started to move.

She rode him slow at first, the way she liked, the way she'd said on the phone last week she wanted — slow, slow, then harder. He watched her. He watched her breasts move and her stomach tighten and her jaw go slack, and when she tipped her head back he put his thumb on her clit and she made a sound that wasn't a word.

"There," she said.

"Here."

"Keep it right there, don't — don't move it —"

"I won't."

"Harder with — yeah. Yeah. Like —"

She lost the sentence. She lost a lot of sentences with him. She used to be embarrassed about it and now she wasn't, which was one of the things he loved about her most, and which he'd told her, and which she'd cried about once, quietly, after.

She came the first time like that, sitting up on him, her hand braced on his chest, her other hand in her own hair, and she came with her eyes open, looking at him, and the sound she made was the specific sound, the one he thought about at work when he shouldn't, and her cunt clamped down on his cock in hot wet pulses and he had to grit his teeth and breathe through his nose to not go with her.

She collapsed forward onto him, laughing, a little.

"Jesus," she said.

"Yeah."

"Jesus Christ."

"You okay?"

"Mm."

She lay on him, catching her breath, her hair stuck to her temple, his cock still hard inside her. He stroked her back, slow, from shoulder blades to the small of her back, the way she liked, and felt her shiver.

"Again," she said, into his neck.

"Yeah?"

"Flip me."

He flipped her. He rolled them both and came down over her and she wrapped her legs around him and he started to move, and she was wetter now, sloppier, the sounds between them obscene in the quiet house. He fucked her slow and deep and watched her face and she watched him back, which she always did, which was the thing, and her hands came up to the back of his head and held him there.

"Harder," she said.

He went harder.

"Yeah — yeah, like — god, like that —"

The headboard hit the wall. Once, twice. He thought about the neighbors and then didn't. She was biting her lip and her eyes were wet at the corners and he bent down and kissed the corner of her eye and she made a small broken sound.

"Hey," he said.

"I'm fine. I'm — I'm good. It's good."

"I know."

"It's just a lot."

"I know, baby."

"Don't stop."

He didn't stop. He put one forearm by her head and brought the other hand down between them and rubbed her clit in small tight circles while he fucked her, and she went nonverbal in the way she went nonverbal, little hitched breaths, her head turning side to side, her hands gripping his shoulders hard enough that he'd see it tomorrow.

"I'm — I'm —"

"Come on."

"Dave —"

"Come on, come here, come on —"

She came the second time shaking, her whole body, her thighs tight around his hips, and this time he went with her because he couldn't not, because she was pulsing around him and saying his name like it was the only word she had left, and he buried himself in her as deep as he could go and came so hard he saw static at the edges of his vision.

For a long time afterward there was just breathing. His face in her neck. Her hand on the back of his head. The ceiling fan they'd never turned on. Somewhere far away, a car going by on the wet road.

"The smoke detector," she said, eventually.

"Mm."

"Remind me to thank it."

He laughed into her collarbone. She laughed too, a little, and her laugh moved through her body and through him and he felt himself soften inside her and still didn't want to move.

"Stay," she said.

"I'm staying."

"I mean — just stay like this a minute."

"I know what you mean."

He stayed. When he did finally ease out of her, she made a small complaining sound and he kissed her and got up and went to the bathroom and came back with a warm washcloth and cleaned her up, slow, careful, the way he did, and she watched him the whole time with that look, the one that was only for him, the one that saw him.

He tossed the washcloth toward the hamper and missed. Neither of them cared.

He got back in bed and she curled into his side immediately, her leg over his, her hand flat on his stomach.

"Hey," she said.

"Hey."

"When I move in."

"Yeah."

"Is it gonna be weird to come home to you every night?"

"Weird good or weird bad."

"Good. Weird good. Like — I don't know what to do with it good."

He turned his head and kissed the top of hers.

"You'll get used to it."

"Will I."

"Eventually."

She was quiet. Her breathing evened out and he thought she was going to sleep and then she wasn't.

"I'm scared I won't," she said, very small.

"Won't get used to it?"

"Won't know how to have it."

He thought about that. He didn't rush. He'd learned not to rush with her when she said things like this.

"You'll have it," he said. "You don't have to know how. You just have it and I'm here and we figure the rest out."

She nodded against his chest. He felt the nod more than saw it.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"I love you."

"I love you."

The smoke detector was silent in the hall. The house was silent. Her breathing slowed and slowed and then went into the long deep rhythm he knew, and he lay awake a while longer just feeling the weight of her, and then he slept too, and when he woke in the morning she was still there, which was going to be true, from now on, every morning, and he lay still for a long time before he let himself believe it.

DAY OVERVIEW The conversation begins with playful banter and shared annoyance over smoke detectors, then shifts into an emotionally vulnerable discussion about Noah Kahan and a true crime podcast. The midday is dominated by explicit sexual memories and fantasies, with both partners reminiscing about intimate moments. The evening winds down with tender declarations of love and plans for the upcoming weekend.
