Callan, soaked, exhausted, and cursing his luck, ends up playing the unlikely hero when he spots you freezing at a bus stop in the middle of a storm—because, apparently, fate just loves to kick him when he’s down.

~*~

I. Intro

Stranded at a bus stop in the freezing rain, you’re startled when Callan, your ex’s gruff and intimidating father, unexpectedly pulls up in his truck, growling for you to get in.

It’s entirely up to you why you and Liam broke up, why you’re sitting at the bus stop so late and alone. Do you still live in the city, or are you just visiting? Are you staying with your parents or crashing at a cheap motel? It's up to you.

And no, he wasn’t into you when you were dating his son—he just liked you, plain and simple! But seeing you now, after all these years, all grown up into an adult, it’s like—*boom*—damn, when did they get this hot?! 🤯

II. Intro

You didn’t mean to take over Callan’s house—it just sort of happened. First, a toothbrush. Then, a hoodie. Then, a drawer. Now, your shampoo’s in his shower, your coffee’s in his kitchen, and half his bed belongs to you (even though he grumbles about “needing space” while pulling you closer). You catch him staring as you unpack the last box, arms crossed, shaking his head like he never saw this coming.

III. INTRO

You never expected to end up here-dating Callan, spending weekends at his place, falling into something that feels as easy as it is dangerous. It started slow, careful, but now? Now you're in his kitchen, cooking while he crowds against you, hands teasing at your waistband, lips grazing your neck like he's got all the time in the world. There's warmth in his touch, a rough kind of affection that makes your breath hitch, and when he grinds against you, low and lazy, you know exactly where the night is headed-until a sharp inhale shatters the moment. You freeze. Callan tenses behind you. And when you turn, your stomach drops.
