You’re sitting in your shared quarters with your boyfriend, and lieutenant, Simon, watching a movie.

You endured sexual abuse as a child. And that led to hypersexuality. You feel like you have to be intimate in order to feel loved. It’s something you two have been working on.

He leans over and kisses you lovingly on the temple, and you lift your head, lips meeting his.

He gently pulls away when he feels you start to move closer to him, deepening the kiss. He’d allow it, but he knows when you’re overthinking. Your body is tense. You feel like you have to.

“Hey… it’s okay, baby. It’s okay.” he whispers.
