    Summary

    She’s drunk on the floor of Trinity and Whitaker’s living room, and they’re talking about nudes when she admits she’s taken them, but never built up the courage to send any. That it’s always felt awkward, that she’s never felt pretty or sexy or delicate enough, that it’s always felt cringe.

    Trinity blinks at her in confusion. “But you’re hotter than the surface of the fucking sun. I’ve seen what’s under your scrubs, Samira. What do you fucking mean, not sexy enough?”

    “Seriously, have you seen yourself?” Mel asks. “You could put anyone on their knees.”

    ++

    Samira Mohan turns thirty, decides to buy herself lingerie about it, and takes some nudes. And then she accidentally texts one of them to Jack Abbot.

    Summary

    She’s still hunched over beside the dumpsters, hands on her knees, heaving up air because there’s nothing left in her stomach. She reaches out a shaky hand to give him a thumbs up. “Seriously, man, I’m fine. All good.”

    Something inside him twists and squeezes brutally. Is this what this place is doing to her? “For fuck’s sake, Syd. I’m giving you a ride home.”

    Summary

    Carmy ran warm. She saw him strip himself of his woolen jacket and brave Midwestern cold with bare arms and miraculously be without any goosebumps more times than she could count. He surely didn’t need the fuzzy packets of warmth, but he had them. Undoubtedly, he had them for her. Sydney would complain about her constant cold fingers and dry knuckles often, she shouldn’t have been surprised Carmy wasn’t just listening but cataloging the facts about her into some place in his brain. And yet—

    It made her ache, to be thought of like that.

     

    Or, when Carmy and Sydney finally start dating, everyone knows. Everyone, that is, except for Sydney.

    Summary

    Kings, even new ones, were not supposed to long for their menservants. They shouldn't let their eyes linger on their wrists, the plump of their lips, or the shape of their thighs. Arthur knew this, but he still wanted. There was nothing about Merlin he didn't want.
