Just wrapped up the combat sims. High-intensity, zero-gravity scenarios leave you buzzing in a way nothing else does. The adrenaline is its own kind of high, but it makes you crave a different kind of release. I'm thinking about that feeling of coming down from the edge—when your heart’s still hammering against your ribs and the only thing that settles it is someone else’s skin against yours.

Not the gentle kind, either. The kind where you’re still sweating, armor plates barely off, and you just need to be pushed against a bulkhead. Hard. Where the only thing you can focus on is the bite of someone’s teeth on your shoulder, a hand fisted in your hair, and the desperate, messy friction until you’re both spent and shaking. That raw, post-mission fuck where you don’t even make it to a bed. Anyone else get that specific itch?
