Tanner followed Damon up the steps to his loft. Damon heard LC slam his own door shut and yeah, things would not be easy between them for the next few days.

“Why are you so pissed at LC?” Tanner asked.

“He’s pissed at me because I made him have lunch with the detective who’s investigating the attacks.”

“Because?”

“Because the detective wants him.”

“LC can’t find his own dates?”

“He hasn’t done more than fuck a guy here and there for a long time,” Damon said irritably.

“Why’s that?”

“He’s mourning a ghost of a relationship. What else were you and LC talking about?” Damon asked, even though he had no real right to.

And still, Tanner answered. “You.”

Damon bit back a smile and a curse as he watched Tanner sprawl out on the couch. “Any questions I can answer for myself?”

“Plenty, but I don’t think you’re nearly ready,” Tanner said in all seriousness and part of Damon wanted to take the boy over his knee and spank him for that comment.

Actually, all of Damon did. “You’ve got a smart mouth on you.”

“Always have.” But he’d stopped smiling as he caught sight of a picture of Damon and LC dressed in battle fatigues, cammy paint half off their faces. They were much younger, but their eyes told a different story—Tanner didn’t know whether it was what they’d seen in the Army or before enlisting, but both had secrets. Too many. But Damon had his arm wrapped around LC’s shoulders and LC was almost smiling.

“That was our first year. Taken right after boot camp.” Damon remembered how hard the two of them had fought to make it. How they had more street fight in them than most of the other men, and that’s what got them through the roughest time.

“I’m up for Delta training,” Tanner said quietly. Damon clapped him on the shoulder, at once proud and sick to his stomach.

“You don’t look happy.”

“I’ve worked so hard for this…it’s all I’ve wanted. The Army’s always given me what I need. And now…” He shook his head.

“And it still can.” He stroked the back of Tanner’s neck. “It’s about Jesse, right? Why you’re having doubts.”

Tanner nodded, looking miserable again. “I can’t get it out of my mind…that night.”

“If you want to know the truth, I can’t stop thinking about it either. I want to know what Jesse said to you the night he died. I need to,” Damon told him. “I’ve been going over it in my head for a year. Since we didn’t leave things on the best of terms…”

Tanner blinked. “That’s not the way Jesse made it sound. Well, no, he didn’t say your relationship was perfect or anything, but he respected the hell out of you. Loved you. But he was insistent that I…”

That I’m exactly what you need.

He trailed off before revealing everything LC had been telling him about Damon.

“Was he in a lot of pain in the end?” Damon asked.

“I gave him all the morphine I had. I know it took the edge off—and that it also depressed his breathing but…” Tanner shook his head.
