“I’m going to be sleeping right next to you.”
No hesitation.
No doubt.
Just truth.
My heart absolutely shattered for this man.
I rose onto my toes and kissed him softly.
Not desperate this time.
Not terrified.
Just… love.
His hand slid into my hair instantly as he kissed me back like he never wanted to stop.
Like he’d finally found his way home too.
When we finally pulled apart, Wolf yelled from the porch?—
“GET A ROOM!”
Trigger added loudly?—
“Preferably soundproof this time!”
I buried my face against Blaze’s chest laughing while he shouted back?—
“I hate all of you!”
“No you don’t!” Trigger said.
Blaze looked down at me then.
Really looked at me.
And suddenly the chaos…
the bullets…
the fear…
all of it faded away.
Because for the first time since this nightmare started?—
we were finally walking toward something good.
