Page 533 of Chaos has a Name
When she heard someone clear their voice, she didn’t even look over at the masculine tone. She worked with a bunch of men.
She was accustomed to it.
“Just put the reports on the desk,” she said, sadly. “I’m busy.”
Caspian hoped that Elizabeth was right with what she’d said. It appeared he was about to find out.
“I hope you’re sad because of me, and not the reports,” Caspian said, standing there.
The second she heard his voice, she gasped.
Rayna dropped her feet so fast and turned that she nearly fell out of her chair.
“Cas?” she asked, standing up.
He was leaning against the door in jeans and a t-shirt. By God, she’d never seen anyone look that damn good in her whole life.
It was a punch to the chest.
“Hey, Chief.”
She didn’t understand.
“They went home. They left already. You should be in the air.”
He didn’t tell her why he was there. He didn’t tell her that had she not hid all day yesterday, she would have seen him, and he would have told her.
He decided to stay, even when the Blackhawks were going home.
“Did you miss me?”
She nodded.
“Did you want me to stay?” he asked.
Tears filled her eyes.
“Yes. I needed you to stay, but I had to let you go. I can’t leave here, or I would have gone with you. I would have gone had you asked me to. There’s nothing here without you.”
Caspian needed to hear that.
His heart definitely did.
“I’m here now, and for the record, I opted not to go back with them two days ago. They made up their minds this morning that they aren’t leaving either, but had you showed up to say goodbye, you would have known that.”
Oh, holy shit!
“Really?”
He simply nodded, and that was when he saw her intent. It was clearly revealed in her eyes.
They were, after all, a window to the soul.
“Caspian,” she said, racing to him, and jumping up to kiss him.
As she did, he held on.
When she broke the kiss, she stared into his eyes.
