She was already marriage: a good and respectable marriage. On top of that, she was high up in ranks – and he was just a new recruit.
Suffice to say, she was way out of his reach. But she had also been the one to spot him first – or he, her if one wanted to be exact about it – and it was too late to avert his gaze. Not that he cared, particularly. And it didn't look like she cared either.
After all, he knew her identity, and that gave him the pleasure of seeing more of her. And feel more of that corrosive heat that blistered his skin, peeling away old crumbling skin for a new sweat-shining freshness –
And, sometimes, he thought he was even close enough to touch.
