Damned If She Do - Person of Interest, John Reese/Detective Joss Carter, moral compasslyssieFebruary 12 2012, 23:28:17 UTC
She shouldn't be here. Joss Carter has her eyes open wide (closing them would be pointless), and her hands pressed flat against the wall behind her. The man on his knees before her is as good with his mouth as he is with his hands, and a part of her hates him (and herself) for how easy it is. That sharp, sweet slide from (I'm a good cop) to biting her lip in an effort to stay quiet.
"Detective Carter," he'd said.
"I don't owe you a thing." She'd flashed the words back at him, as though he'd asked for something. Even though it niggled at her, a little. She did owe him--a life for a life.
"There's no ledger here--" he'd said dryly. and that muscle in his cheek had twitched. As though there had been ledgers before. One more piece slotted into the puzzle, and Joss Carter knew she was getting closer to the truths surrounding this man.
She'd betrayed him, but she'd been following her own code. He seemed to get that, even before this moment. They had different moral compasses, and hers meant that bad men were put away, no matter what.

1. I tried it the other way and found it didn't work. Besides, my goal is to write Carter fic (porny or otherwise).
2. That would be hard not to do. It is a VERY bad idea. All those things like law and order and rules, and she's sort of just forgetting them. For a little while.

Somehow, the way Reese uses her title -- twice -- is just so damn sexy here. The contrast between how Carter presents herself in public and who she is in this private moment amps up the erotic. Great work, great writing.
And yes, Reese did get out of handcuffs in that episode "The Fixer" with mystery woman Zoe Morgan.

Thank you! One of the things that's always stuck with me is her telling Fusco her first name is Detective, and I tend to think of it as who she is (on the job), and letting Reese use it sort of is a goad (on his part).
Which I'm not entirely sure makes sense, but. *shrug*
