Chapter 435: Officer Megan’s Complaint
Megan’s eyes narrowed slightly as she took us in again—our clean clothes, no sand clinging to the hems, no salt-crusted hair or sunburned skin.
Angela’s sundress looked freshly laundered, the thin cotton whispering against her thighs with every subtle shift, riding just high enough to tease the bare curve of her ass if she bent even a fraction.
Mira’s jeans were crisp and dark now, hugging her hips like a lover’s hands, but I could still smell the faint, lingering tang of her mid-flight squirt on my pants where she’d ground against me.
Lisa’s tank top clung to her sweat-damp skin, nipples dark shadows under the fabric, her cargo shorts unbuttoned at the top like she was one deep breath from peeling them off.
Even I looked untouched by the elements: no sweat stains, no dust in the creases of my shirt, hair still damp but neat from the cave pool rinse, cock half-hard and pressing against my zipper from the memory of Mira’s tits mashed to my chest.
She hesitated—clearly weighing her words, her cop’s gaze flicking from face to face like she was cataloging threats, assets, weaknesses. Her uniform—once starched and authoritative—hung looser now on her frame, the fabric faded and dirt-streaked, sleeves rolled up to expose tanned, corded forearms scarred from God-knows-what scrapes in this endless apocalypse.
But even exhausted, she was a sight: tall and athletic, hips flaring just enough under the belt to promise a tight, gripping cunt if you got past the barriers.
Her tits strained against the button-up shirt, third button undone from the heat, a faint sheen of sweat glistening in the hollow of her throat.
"That... Mr. Dexter..." she started, voice careful, almost polite despite the exhaustion etched into the fine lines around her eyes, "have you found something outside? I mean, your clothes... and... you all look like you just stepped out of a damn catalog. Clean. Rested. No grit. What the hell happened out there?"
I met her gaze steadily, letting a small, easy smile tug at my lips—slow, knowing, the kind that said I’d already clocked the way her eyes dipped to Angela’s cleavage, then Lisa’s exposed midriff, then lingered a beat too long on the wet spot I knew was still faintly visible on Mira’s new jeans if the light hit right.
"We found some bags out there," I said casually, gesturing vaguely toward the horizon like it was nothing, like the magical tool humming in my harness pouch wasn’t the key to pulling clean threads and stocked larders out of thin air.
"Clothes mostly. Clean ones—supermarket hauls, abandoned in the chaos. And we’ve luckily found a place to stay... solid shelter, carved right into the cliffs, protected from the wind and rain. Food’s not a problem either—plenty stocked, canned goods, fresh catches. There’s even a stream nearby with a lot of fish. Clean water, too. Crystal. You could drink it straight, or... use it for other things. Baths. Rinsing off after a long, dirty night."
Megan’s eyes lit up—genuine surprise flashing across her tired features, softening the hard set of her jaw for the first time.
She actually jumped a little, boots shifting in the sand with a soft crunch, as the words had physically jolted her from the bone-deep weariness that had settled in her shoulders.
"Really?" she breathed, voice cracking on the edge of hope, leaning forward unconsciously, her shirt gaping just enough to show the shadowed valley between her tits, the faint outline of a black bra cupping them firm.
"That’s... that’s fucking great. We were just struggling to find something—anything. The stream we tapped had some fish at first, but now they’ve all been caught out. Nets are empty for days."
"The kids are down to scraps, Paul’s coughing up blood half the nights, and we’re all rationing water like it’s gold. Hell, I haven’t had a proper wash in... shit, two weeks? Skin feels like sandpaper. If you’ve got clean water and fish... that changes everything."
She trailed off, already half-turning toward the group like she was about to bark orders, rally the weary bodies around the fire pit—Jack still staring at the sea like it might swallow his rage, Bill kicking sand in small, furious arcs, Nicole clinging to Mira like a lifeline, her small hands fisted in her mother’s leather jacket.
The rest of the survivors—Hailey with her sharp eyes, Paul hunched on a crate wheezing softly—perked up too, murmurs rippling through them like the first drops of rain.
I coughed once—light, deliberate—cutting through her rising excitement like a knife through silk.
"Ahm... did you misunderstand something, Officer Megan?" I said, tone calm but edged with steel, stepping closer so she had to tilt her head up to meet my eyes, close enough now that I could smell the faint, underlying musk of her—sweat, salt, and something earthier, like a woman who hadn’t been touched in too long and was starting to ache for it.
"I meant I found these things myself. Why should I share it? You think paradise just falls in your lap out here? Nah. Everything’s got a price."
The air went still—heavy, electric, the crash of waves suddenly too loud in the stunned silence. Megan froze mid-breath—eyes widening, mouth parting slightly as the words sank in like hooks.
The hope that had flickered to life in her green irises died as quickly as it came, replaced by stunned disbelief, then something harder: a flash of anger that made her cheeks flush under the dirt smudges, her full lips pressing into a thin line. Her hands flexed at her sides—cop instincts warring with raw, desperate survival need, fingers twitching like she was half a second from going for the sidearm that wasn’t there anymore.
"That... I..." she stammered, voice dropping to almost nothing, stepping back half a pace like my words had physically shoved her.
"You’re shitting me. We’re... we’re barely holding on here, Dexter. Kids are hungry—Nicole’s been skipping meals to give hers to the little ones. Paul’s fever is spiking again; we’ve got no meds left."
"I’ve been out scavenging till my feet bleed, coming back with fuck-all. And you fly in here—clean as a whistle, with your women looking like they just got spa treatments—talking streams and fish like it’s a goddamn resort? You’re telling me you’ve got food, clean water, shelter... and you’re just going to hoard it? Watch us starve while you play house?"
Her voice rose on the last word—cracking with fury and something deeper, more vulnerable, like the exhaustion had stripped her armor bare. She gestured sharply at her group, the motion making her shirt pull tight across her chest, buttons straining.
