    Summary

    Despite his alpha designation and good looks, Jack Abbot is perfectly capable of maintaining professional distance, even where Samira Mohan is concerned. It would be entirely unethical for him to say that if she asked him to, he would smuggle her out of this hospital, take her back to his house, and fuck her.

    But she does ask. It makes the fact that his dick barely works anymore feel like a minor hiccup.

    Summary

    She feels what she knows, from prior experience, is a phantom itch from the ivy as she watches him cleaning the blood off the shoe attached to his prosthetic foot. It happens every time she sees his prosthesis, or notices that he’s limping slightly after a long shift on his feet. It always itches and she always has to restrain herself from rubbing it, from pulling up the leg of her scrubs and scratching it, even though she knows it won’t help.

    Phantom itches can’t be truly scratched, after all.

    And that’s exactly what Dr. Jack Abbot is.

    A constant, burning, phantom, poison ivy kind of itch.

    Summary

    Jack shifts, drawing her focus back, and he's still watching her, now with his arm lifted in invitation. It doesn't matter that they're in a poor excuse for a sauna nor that they cuddle plenty every single day. Anytime that Jack coaxes her in like this, she jumps at the opportunity. She presses against his side, then shivers at the feel of their bare bodies being flush. She went more years than she'd like to admit being totally touch-starved. Sometimes the ripples of relief still surprise her.

    ~~~

    Their air conditioner may have broken down during a heat wave, but Samira and Jack still can't keep their hands off of each other.

    Summary

    “You know, I think we have this tendency to think of chaos as a bad thing. Like, if something’s chaotic it must be harmful, and it must be changed, or…ordered. But I think chaos itself is…natural, you know? The world around us thrives on chaos. Small changes make big differences. The butterfly effect, I guess. And, at its best, out of chaos comes creativity. I think it’s more about how we respond to the chaos that counts.”

    “And how do I...we— How does anyone do that? Respond to the chaos?”

    “I guess…learn to ride the wave, chef.”

    Some bonds arrive as proof. Others arrive as pain.

    Samira and Jack have spent years mistaking one for the other.
