It's rare to find a heart that will look at yours and wish to love it as they would their own. - Words by Jen ©️

Day 13 / 28

Fic Title: “Providence”

Writer: @shotmrmiller

Pairing: Simon Riley x Reader

"Don't care." He rumbles, eyes flicking to the side of your throat where your pulse flutters like a tell. "I'll drag 'alf the field through this fuckin' door if it means you're inside when the sky turns." You want to protest, say something practical, something sharp, something about how of course he doesn't care, you're the one who has to clean it up, but you can't, not with his breath ghosting the corner of your jaw. He tilts his head, rainwater still beading in his lashes. "You don't get it, do ya? Everythin' I've done, haulin' logs you couldn't lift, fixed the roof you feared would cave in— ain't 'cause l've nothin' better to do."

Your fingers twitch at your sides, wanting to push him back, wanting to stay exactly where he's holding you.

"The world's simple, love. Hard hands do hard work. Yours are for the home, for rockin' a cradle, not haulin' seed. That's the way of it."
