Page 484 of Chaos has a Name
He was being himself.
Hadn’t he told her that?
For a brief second, he was going to tell her that he wasn’t leaving. Only, the part of him thatOVERTHOUGHTeverything was now driving the bus.
When she opened her eyes, she sighed.
“Now you can have your dick back.”
Despite what he was feeling, lost in a storm, he still laughed.
“T-t-thank you.”
She stared at him.
As she was about to ask him what he was worried about, since the stutter was out, he heard the two clicks of the mute over his vest.
“That was Ivan. They’re coming back,” he said, knowing their time was up.
Rayna stared at him, and she wasn’t sure what was wrong, but she was positive something was.
“You’re upset,” she said, as he pulled out of her, and she grabbed her pants on the floor of the vehicle as he zipped up his cargo pants.
He was, but he didn’t know how to articulate it.
So, he chose his words carefully.
“Don’t worry about it.”
She grabbed his arm.
“I am going to worry about it. Caspian.”
When he looked over, he was honest. She liked that, so here went everything.
“That wasn’t me as a Marine. That was plain old Caspian. It just threw me off. I’m not him all of the time.”
Then, he stopped talking.
When he opened the door, he hopped out, giving her some time to get changed.
And Rayna knew.
It was crystal clear that he’d told her that this was Caspian, and not Uriel.
There was no doubt it meant something to him.
Now, she had to figure out how to fix it.
Because she didn’t prefer a Marine over the man.
Only, what if it was too late?
Damn.
She screwed up.
