Challenge: Memory
Rating: PG
Warnings/Spoilers: None. Un-betad.
In the immediacy of now is where Jack finds his saviour. Now, in tangled sheets, thudding hearts, and technicolour life in all its beauty. Now, in the thrill of the chase, the sweat of passion fulfilled, a job well done, the touch of skin on skin.
Only now can halt the litany of remembered pain whispered at four am in restless sleep, “Don‘t make me.. I can‘t.. Don‘t leave me.. Don’t touch them.. Let me go..” Stolen kisses that brush away the tear stains and could’ve beens, enveloping arms keeping the demons just out of reach, if only for tonight.
