   Summary

   Rick is used to controlling everything — his work, people, his own feelings. But around Daryl, that control begins to crack. With every new case, the tension grows: his gaze lingers longer, his thoughts turn darker, his fantasies feel more real. Between them, something is building that can’t be ignored.

   Rick as himself and Daril as a Game Warden with the Georgia DNR
