Smith, of the penitentiaries branch, Department of Justice, will take over charge of the penitentiary pending a permanent appointment.

It is also learned that Inspector E. R. Jackson, acting warden of the preferred class penitentiary, Collins Bay is to return to his duties as inspector at end of this month and that engineer Allen, penitentiaries Branch, Department of Justice, will assume charge at the preferred class prison.

The Whig-Standard, likewise informed that General W. St. Pierre Hughes, superintendent of penitentiaries for the past quarter of a century is retiring at the end of January, having reached the age limit. Warden Ponsford, when asked regarding the story that he was to retire, would neither deny nor confirm the statement.

Inspector Jackson replied, 'I have nothing whatever to say' when interviewed.

General Hughes was reached by long distance telephone at Ottawa, but declined to discuss the rumored changes.

The Whig-Standard also declares it understands Inspector H. C. Fatt will become acting superintendent and will assume the place to be vacated by General Hughes.

Kink List With Quinn Hughes

A = Aftercare (What they’re like after sex)

For Quinn, this often involves spending some time together, cuddling on the couch and chatting about what they just experienced. He may also offer physical gestures of affection, such as taking a warm bath together or giving each other massages. Overall, he is a very attentive and responsive partner who always takes the time to check in with his partners and make sure you are feeling good.

B = Body part (Their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

For Quinn, is very proud of his strong and muscular body, and loves to spend time in the gym working out and training. His favorite part of his body is his thighs

His favourite body part of his partner is definitely your hips, as he finds them incredibly attractive.

C = Cum (Anything to do with cum basically… I’m a disgusting person)

His favorite ways is either deep inside of you or on your chest or abdomen since It also creates a lasting visual reminder of your lovemaking.

D = Dirty Secret (Pretty self-explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Quinn would have to say his favorite dirty secret is how much he loves being in control. He is a very dominant partner in the bedroom, but he doesn't always feel comfortable talking about it without the right audience. He is worried about coming across as too aggressive or making his partner feel uncomfortable, so he tends to keep that side of him on the down low.

E = Experience (How experienced are they? Do they know what they’re doing?)

Quinn has been in a few different relationships before, so he wouldn't be considered a "complete" novice. He's definitely learned a thing or two about what he's doing and has a pretty good idea of what to expect, but he is always willing to listen to feedback from his partner and ask questions if he is unsure about something. He may come off a bit too confident at first, but really he's just trying to put you at ease and make sure everyone is having a good time.

F = Favorite Position (This goes without saying. Will probably include a visual)

Quinn's favorite position is probably one where he has a lot of control, so something like missionary with your legs over his shoulders or cowgirl. He loves being able to see the different expressions on your face as things progress, and it's really hot to have your body so up close.

G = Goofy (Are they more serious in the moment, or are they humorous, etc)

Quinn is definitely more on the serious side of things, but he will also throw in some light banter to help make the mood a bit lighter. He may crack a few jokes and make some silly faces, but he's not one to totally drop the seriousness of the moment. He thinks there's a time and a place for humor in a relationship, and the bedroom definitely isn't the right place for it.

H = Hair (How well groomed are they, does the carpet match the drapes, etc.)

Quinn keeps himself very well groomed and trimmed. He definitely does his best to keep up with any body hair he grows, especially in places where his partners may want to touch. He definitely keeps his carpet and drapes matching, as he believes it is an important aspect of overall hygiene. He is definitely not a fan of having a full on forest down there, so he makes sure to keep things nice and tidy.

I = Intimacy (How are they during the moment, romantic aspect…)

During the moment itself, Quinn is definitely on the romantic side of things. He likes to take his time and really take the time to express how much he's enjoying himself. He might hold you close to his chest as he whispers little compliments in your ear, or give you a little kiss on the forehead or cheek every so often. He wants you to feel like there is nothing more important to him than being intimate with you at that moment.

J = Jack Off (Masturbation headcanon)

It's something that's definitely not talked about very much, but Quinn absolutely enjoys a little solo time every once in a while. He doesn't make a big deal out of it, it's more of a private indulgence for him. He doesn't have any specific techniques that he likes, it's more of a spontaneous thing that he's just in the mood do some days.

K = Kink (One or more of their kinks)

Bondage

Impact Play

Spanking

Marking

Praise, both ways

L = Location (Favorite places to do the do)

Quinn would have to say his favorite location to do the deed is somewhere private, preferably his own place. He likes to have a little bit of privacy and not have to worry about anyone interrupting or walking in on you both. He usually likes to set the mood and get comfortable on the bed or couch, somewhere he can relax with his partner without any worries.

M = Motivation (What turns them on, gets them going)

Quinn is pretty much up for anything, so it's hard to say exactly what turns him on in the moment. However, he always gets a bit excited when you are vocal and responsive, he loves to hear the things you like and how you feel in his arms. He also loves when you initiate things yourself, it makes him feel like you're really into it and not just going along with what he's doing.

N = NO (Something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

There's not one thing that Quinn would really be opposed to doing, he's pretty much open to anything. However, there are a few things that he does like to avoid. He's definitely not a fan of doing anything that's too rough or aggressive, he doesn't want to hurt you in any serious way. He also doesn't really like things that are loud or messy, he likes things to be simple and intimate. Other than that, he doesn't really have any strict no's.

O = Oral (Preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc)

Quinn is definitely more on the giving side, he loves to take his time and make sure that you're feeling good. He's got a pretty good skill level too, he knows exactly how to use his tongue and how to get you all worked up. He might not be the best in the world, but he definitely puts in the effort to make sure that you're feeling absolutely ecstatic.

P = Pace (Are they fast and rough? Slow and sensual? etc.)

Quinn likes to mix things up depending on the moment. Sometimes he'll go pretty rough and fast, others he'll take it slower and enjoy all the little details of being intimate with you. Overall, he wouldn't say he has a set pace or a set style that he always sticks to, he just likes to go with the flow and do what feels right.

Q = Quickie (Their opinions on quickies rather than proper sex, how often, etc.)

Quinn is definitely all for quickies, sometimes a little "quick action" is exactly what the situation calls for. He doesn't see it as an either/or choice, he sees it as an option that's sometimes just exactly what's needed. He definitely prefers regular, longer sessions, but he won't say no to a shorter one if that's what the moment calls for. He doesn't mind either way, as long as he's getting a bit of action in, he's happy.

R = Risk (Are they game to experiment, do they take risks, etc.)

Quinn loves to try new things and take risks, he's not one to do things the same way over and over again. He always likes to keep things spicy and exciting, and he wouldn't mind trying something out in a place or situation that's a bit different than usual. He's not afraid to take a risk if it means that things will be extra exciting and feel a little more risque for the both of you.

S = Stamina (How many rounds can they go for, how long do they last…)

Quinn is definitely pretty high energy when it comes to things like this, he's not one to slow down easily. He can definitely go a few rounds without getting tired or needing a break, and he's got a pretty high stamina so he'll keep going for quite a while. He'll only stop when he feels like you are also getting worn out, he doesn't want to push it too far.

T = Toy (Do they own toys? Do they use them? On a partner or themselves?)

Quinn's definitely got a few toys that he likes to use when the mood strikes. He doesn't use them all the time, it depends on what he's feeling like, but he does enjoy the occasional toy session. He doesn't mind using them on himself, or on a partner, or maybe even a little bit of both together.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

Quinn definitely loves to tease, he gets a real kick out of getting you all worked up and then not following up with anything. He likes to make you want more, to get your brain all foggy with desire, but then he stops before giving you what you really need. It's a form of torture he really gets off on.

V = Volume (How loud they are, what sounds they make)

He has a tendency to make a pretty nice mess of sounds, ranging from soft grunts and moans to louder, more guttural sounds. He's not necessarily super loud, he's not a screamer, but he definitely doesn't hold back and make sure you hear what's going on.

W = Wild Card (Get a random headcanon for the character of your choice)

Quinn actually has a bit of an exhibitionist streak. He loves the idea of doing something intimate and passionate in a public place, maybe somewhere hidden but where there's always the risk of getting caught. He gets a rush from just the thought of having something so intimate and forbidden in a place where people could walk by at any moment.

X = X-Ray (Let’s see what’s going on in those pants, picture or words)

It's about seven inches long. The shaft is fairly thick, not too skinny but not overly bulky either. There's a bit of a curve to it, making it stand out a little when hard. The head is quite pronounced, almost like a mushroom cap, and there's a small slit right in the center that glistens whenever he's excited.

Y = Yearning (How high is their sex drive?)

He's got a pretty healthy and active libido, and he definitely needs a bit of a release every now and then. He'll often get a bit restless and antsy if he doesn't have a good way to take care of himself, and he'll definitely start to look for a little bit of action from time to time.

Z = ZZZ (… how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He usually feels pretty satisfied after a good session, and he can definitely fall asleep pretty quickly afterwards. He'll wrap his arms or legs around you, pull you closer to his chest, and just doze off after a good bit of physical activity.

Hey cutie patootie!! 💗 can you please do SFW alphabet for Wolverine???🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

wolverine sfw alphabet

an: this is my first time doing the sfw alphabet so if it’s bad so sorry!!

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

PDA? Not so much but he’ll sneak in kisses every now and then but privately? This man worships the ground you walk on of course he’s gonna make you feel loved

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?

He cares about you and quite protective (unless you’re Scott)

Very caring and always remembers little details about you

I’m imagining the friendship would start when Scott said something about Logan (damn Scott 🤨) and you defended him <3

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Hugh jackman says he’s a big cuddler so it’s canon to me that Logan is too I SAID WHAT I SAID

Obviously he would never admit it to anyone but he LOVES to cuddle

He loves when you lay your head on his chest and he’s stroking your hair… I’m sobbing I need this man so bad

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

Plot twist: Logan 2017 ended differently and it actually ended with you, logan and laura being a family and living in a cute little house away from everyone 😍 someone get marvel on the phone I HAVE AN IDEA

You and Logan have a deal, you cook and he cleans because this man cannot cook to save his life

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would the do it?)

oh!😄

he seems like the type to just pack up his things, leave a note and leave lol idk I’m trying to keep this happy

F = Fiance(e) (How would they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to marry?)

He would marry you in a second he loves you too much or you could be like one of those couple that stay together for so many years without getting married because they don’t care 🫶🏻

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

LOGAN IS SO GENTLE WITH YOU

I don’t write smut but I read this one fic years ago where he didn’t want to hurt the reader during sex and it had me blushing and kicking my feet 😭

emotionally, he respects your boundaries and listen to what you have to say.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Doesn’t hug anyone but you <3

Old man logan loves them!! (fuck i should’ve done this with old man logan lol maybe in the future)

Currently picturing old man logan coming home from work and you’re like doing the dishes or something and you don’t hear him come in and he hugs you from behind 😭

I = I Love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

again I don’t write smut BUT what if I said that the first time Logan said I love you was either when one of you had a near death experience or your first time having sex

THERE IS NO INBETWEEN

Doesn’t say it right away until y’all fuck or one of you almost dies lol ladies he is the ideal man

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

I’m going to take this opportunity to thank anyone who has ever written jealous logan fics, you are the reason for my happiness and I hope you get everything you e ever wanted <3

This man is protective of you, if he sees some guy in a bar bothering you bitch the claws are coming out

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

Logan’s kisses give you much comfort like if you’re stressed because of some stupid shit scott did (🤨) (dw i love scott) he’ll give you kisses <3

He loves kissing your lips obviously but a simple forehead kiss is his go to

old man logan giving you hand kisses!!

And what if I said that logan loves to be kissed on his neck?🤨🤨

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

When Laura comes into your lives, he’s trying to be a good father obviously but before Laura, he ok

Like if we’re talking toddlers then he wouldn’t know how to act around them. Confused 100% when they give him a toy phone

M = Mornings (How are mornings spent with them?)

If he wakes up before you then he’ll definitely let you sleep in

He loves a good morning cuddle and kiss.

If neither of you have class to teach in the morning then yes you’ll sleep in but if you do then you’ll wake up earlier than him and do your morning routine

N = Nights (How are nights spent with them?)

movie nights if you aren’t too tired or you’ll just talk about random things in bed and eventually drift off to sleep

You’ve admitted to Logan that his voice helps you fall asleep <3

O = Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait to reveal things?)

So in the beginning of your relationship, logan didn’t open up right away but as time went on he trusted you more and more so you helped him talk about his past

He doesn’t reveal everything all at once more like when you’re in bed or taking a bath together and you’re laying against him and he starts talking about his life

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

By Scott? So easy

it doesn’t take a lot to anger him, but he’s trying to be a calmer person especially if Laura is there

Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

He remembers everything. He has a good memory when it comes to you. He knows your likes and dislikes, even if you mentioned it like years ago, favorite foods, movies, songs.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

His favorite moment is when you met for the first time. It’s when he also met charles too. He walked into charles’s office and that’s when he saw you, standing next to charles. He didn’t believe in love at first sight, but you completely changed his mind.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would the like to be protected?)

Like I mentioned before, he’s protective of you. Hates seeing you get hurt during missions. He knows you can handle it, but still he doesn’t like it.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

I see him actually putting in effort like if he decides to one day have a picnic with you in the schools garden, he’ll ask storm to make sure it doesn’t rain and find the prettiest flowers to give you

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

He pushes people away. He has a tendency to do that so he isolates himself. You give him so space then try to work things out

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

He isn’t too concerned until he starts looking like old man logan. That’s when he thinks you won’t like how wrinkled and grey he looks but you shower him with love and affection because that’s what he deserves <3

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

You and Laura are his whole world. (now I’m imagining rogue joining the fam and meeting Laura and it’s so cute omg)

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them)

He kisses you so much that if you change your chapstick flavor he will notice. Like I imagine you changed it from cherry to coconut and he’ll be talking to storm or charles and you pass by and give him a quick kiss and he’s like “hold up☝🏻🤨” and kisses you again just to make sure he wasn’t making it up and tells you “you changed the flavor? But Cherry was my favorite😔😒”

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

Scott summers

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habit of theirs?)

Naps after missions are a must

His sleep schedule is totally messed up lol

NHL Captains & Alternates Primer/Refresher

All teams per the NHL Rule book (Rule 6, pg 7-8) must list either One (1) Captain and Two (2) Alternate Captains or Three (3) Alternate Captains during the game line-up submissions*. There may only be Three (3) Alternates if the Captain is not in uniform or if there is no designated Captain. No Coach, Manager or Goaltenders are allowed to act as a Captain or Alternate; Goaltenders are not allowed to act as captains due to (un)intentional delay of game as per the "Durnan Rule". They must wear either a "C" or "A" about three inches (3") high and of a contrasting color in a visible spot on the front of their jerseys. Only the Captain [ or any one (1) Alternate, if the Captain is not on the ice] is allowed, if invited by a referee, to discuss interpretations of the rules**. They may not leave the bench to protest or hinder any officials in light of a call on the ice, and are subject to being given a penalty (Abuse of Officials: unsportsmanlike conduct).

Notes:

(*) Some teams have named more than the regulation two (2) or three (3) alternates and are required to rotate the designation between players. The method of choosing who gets the designation when is left to team digression.

(**) Complaints about penalties are not considered 'a discussion pertaining to the interpretations of the rules', and any skater making such complaints are subject to a minor penalty in response.

nsfw alphabet | jack hughes

warning(s); mentions of smut, fem!reader, possible cringe, slightly edited, 18+

word count; 1.9k

A - AFTERCARE (what is he like after sex?) 

he always asks you if you enjoyed yourself, and while the answer is the same everytime- undoubtedly yes, he asks everytime. 

jack always makes sure that you are cleaned up, and is the first to change the sheets if they're ruined. if it was a particularly rough session, he is extra gentle with you, massaging your shoulders, showering your back with soft kisses while you embrace each other, always running you a bath after.

B - BODY PART (his favorite body part of his and yours.)

jack's favorite body part of his is his hands. he loves the way his hands look gripping your backside, the way his fingers imprint on your bottom. he loves wrapping his hands lightly around your neck, or using them to wrap up your hair as you take him in the mouth. 

he loves your chest. he loves marking you up, leaving signs for everyone to know that you're his. sliding his dick through your breasts and blowing his load there, laying his head on your bare chest while you comb through his hair, just listening to the soft beating of your heart. 

C - CUM (anything to do with cum.)

jack will cum anywhere you let him, usually it's on your chest or stomach, but if in a different position then it's your back. he loves cumming in your mouth, and the rare occasions when you let him (sometimes beg) for him to cum inside you. 

D - DIRTY SECRET (a dirty secret of his.)

jack is a bit insecure of his skills regarding giving you oral, he'll occasionally watch videos (made by women) specializing in pleasuring women. 

E - EXPERIENCE (how experienced is he?) 

jack has definitely had a lot of practice when it comes to sex, mostly from the same few girls that he's dated. he's never been a fan of one night stands, hence why his body-count isn't extremely high. 

F - FAVORITE POSITION (what is his favorite position?) 

jack loves it when you ride him. he loves seeing your facial expressions, the way your teeth graze over your bottom lip, the way your eyebrows furrow, the way your breasts bounce as you sink onto his hard cock. he loves the way your hands rest on his chest, the way his hands can guide your hips-slowing down or speeding up. the way you absolutely fall into his shoulder mumbling profanities, shivering slightly as your orgasm overtakes you, warm cum dripping down his dick.

G - GOOFY (is he serious or humorous during sex?) 

jack isn't super serious or humorous when he fucks you. he'll crack a few jokes in the beginning, but by the end, all of his focus is on pleasuring you & making sure he doesn't cum too quickly (whenever he does, he gets super embarrassed and apologizes immediately for quote "being a 13 year old boy")

H - HAIR (how well groomed is he?)

while he might be growing the hair on his head out, that is definitely not the case for down there. he keeps the hair trimmed and in line for personal preference, not that you really cared.

I - INTIMACY (how is he during the moment? the romantic aspect.)

jack is very passionate when it comes to fucking you. he is always making sure that you are okay, always telling you that he loves you, how gorgeous you are. he adores the rare times when you and him cum together, foreheads rested against each other as you ride out the high. he prefers it when your hands are intertwined with his, you looking at him with that sexed out daze. 

J - JACK OFF (does he masturbate?) 

jack rarely masturbates, he really only does it on the road every once in a while. if he's stressed or tense, and you're not there, he has no problem with rubbing one out. after, he'll always send you a stupid text along the lines of "just jacked off 😩 miss u baby", which you find humorous. 

K - KINK (one or more of his kinks.) 

jack loves hair pulling and dirty talk. he loves the way your hands tug at his locks while he pounds into you.

jack can be dominate, showing you exactly who you belong to, but can be submissive and shy when he wants you to take control, typically after a rough game or practice.

jack has a hard a praise kink. you think that certain social media comments get to him a little too much, hence the praise kink. he loves it when you tell him how good he is making you feel, and compliment him in the cliché way of "you're so big" or his personal favorite line "such a beautiful boy you are" as he absolutely adores it when you call him beautiful. makes him feel so good about himself. 

L - LOCATION (where's his favorite place to do it?) 

jack's favorite place to be intimate is definitely your apartment. you can't really fuck at his without the risk of someone barging in or hearing, while at yours, you can fuck in every inch of the place with no distractions or interruptions. against the wall, on the kitchen table, the couch, anywhere you could think of doing it you've done it. 

M - MOTIVATION (what turns him on, gets him going?)

jack finds it incredibly attractive when you speak passionately of hockey. it's the game he loves, and it always gets him going to see the girl he loves discussing his stats or things of that nature.

j also finds it a turn on when you wear not just his clothes specifically, but his jersey. in fact, his favorite outfit on you is his jersey with either just panties or his boxers.

and even if not meant in a sexual way, if you kiss his jawline, his pants will tighten. same with the small area behind his ear, makes him silly putty in your hands. 

N - NO (something they wouldn't do, turn offs.)

jack is not a fan of degradation, giving or receiving. he does not like calling you out of your name during sex, it makes him feel bad even though you've said that it wouldn't bother you. he doesn't like the idea of anyone calling you a whore or slut, even if it's himself, so he doesn't. instead, he opts for more wholesome names such as y/n, baby, or angel. 

j is 100% against any sexual activity in public. the last thing he needs is for the two of you to get caught fucking in public. 

O - ORAL (preference in giving/receiving, skill, etc.) 

jack prefers giving rather than receiving. even if you offer to take him in your mouth, he'll coerce you into letting him eat you out. all he wants is for you to feel good. he'll take his time, slowly making his way from your lips, down your stomach, to your dripping cunt. he'll tease you though by kissing your thighs before dipping his tongue and flicking in a way that almost feels euphoric. he'll slide and slurp until you become undone on him. and he'll lick up every last drop while you lie there, panting, out of breath, and in a daze. 

however, something about your mouth wrapped around his cock, looking at him with almost innocent eyes, always turns him over the edge. it's hard for him to resist grabbing the back of your head and shoving his dick down your throat. 

P - PACE (is he fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

it depends on the mood, whether its fast and rough or slow and sensual. if he's stressed out, tense, and you offer him a release, then its fast, rough, and dominating but not unkind. for the most part, though, the two of you engage in lazy, slow, sensual activity where you can really see how much he loves you just by the look in his eyes and the soft words he leaves in your ear. "i love you so much" "fuck, you're so good to me." 

Q - QUICKIE (his opinion on quickies, how often, etc.) 

jack feels indifferent about quickie's. doesn't like them, doesn't hate them. but would definitely prefer to take his time with you. 

R - RISK (is he game to experiment? does he take risks? etc.) 

jack is game to try anything (within reason) at least once. and even if it doesn't work out, the two of you can always share a laugh about it. 

S - STAMINA (how many rounds can he go for? how long does he last?)

with jack being a professional hockey player, constantly working out and generally keeping in shape, he can fuck circles around you stamina wise. "come on angel, one more round" he'll murmur slowly in your ear, trying to persuade you into going again. jack's ready to run a marathon while you're fucked silly and tired out of your mind.

j tries his best to always make sure that you cum first. and if that means pulling out, replacing his dick with his fingers while he calms the urge, he'll do it everytime. 

jack can cum 1-2 times in one session, maybe 3 if they're spaced out a bit. if theyre too close together, j becomes a whining, begging, overstimulated mess. 

you however, he'll push you over the edge a dozen times if he wants to. 

T - TOYS (does he own toys? does he use them on him or yourself?)

jack didn't own any toys until he got a giant ass dildo as a gag gift from one of his friends. neither of you have used it (and don't plan to), so it just sits in the corner of his room (lol)

U - UNFAIR (how much he likes to tease) 

jack is a huuuge tease, that boy lives to tease and slightly embarrass you.

V - VOLUME (how loud is he? what sounds does he make? etc.) 

jack has no problem letting you and your neighbors know how exactly how good you are making him feel. whether thats cursing, grunting, or murmuring inaudible words in your ear, jack is never shy with his pleasure, and thats how you like it. you love the way his voice builds as he approaches his orgasm and descends in low whimpers and soft moans as he spurts his hot seed on you or in you. he looks so beautiful with his brows furrowed, jaw clenched, eyes closed. so beautiful. 

W - WILDCARD (a random headcanon.) 

jack loves making love to you while listening to hozier, work song if you want to get specific.  

X - X-RAY (let's see what's going on under those clothes.) 

contrary to what everyone thinks or wants to believe, jack is actually only a little bigger than average in size down there. average in girth, slightly curved, the lightest pink color. you don't really care what size he is, he hits all the right spots and makes you feel better than anyone ever has. 

Y - YEARNING (how is his sex drive?)

you and jack don't necessarily have to fuck every day, but he does need to have his hands on you in some way. whether that's you sitting on his lap, or his hand gripping your thigh when driving, he always needs to feel your touch in someway. 

Z - ZZZ (how quickly he falls asleep afterwards.) 

jack is asleep within ten minutes after you've fucked. as soon as his head hits your chest, and your fingers start combing through his long hair, he's pretty much out like a light. sometimes, you'll force yourself to stay awake a bit just so you can enjoy him, hear his light snores, feel his chest rise up and down with every breath.
