Ethan

I didn’t think it was possible to have been more honest in a single statement. Something about Josh and Ben made me wish we weren’t in the middle of the mess we were in. Why couldn’t I have met Josh in a normal way? Not that anything in my life was ordinary, not since I’d come home, and started work for the FBI and Danvers. One of the first questions I would ask Kayden was what Danvers was doing—it was one of a long list of questions, not least of which was where the rest of my team was at right now. Even as I held Josh close after announcing how I felt, I still had the unsettled feeling what we had would be temporary—and was I in the right place to promise more?

“Really?” Josh asked. I hated that there was doubt in his tone, but then my announcement was part of the surrounding mess, and I could see how maybe I hadn’t thought things through? “You really see us as having some kind of future after all this is done?” He eased himself away from me, and his expression was one of complete confusion.

So much for me announcing how I felt, and for it not needing to be explained.

“Ignore me,” I offered after a pause. It broke my stupid heart to say that, and I waited for Josh to agree, and maybe stalk off to spend time with Ben. Instead, he crossed his arms over his chest and tilted his chin.

“I’m going to get it tattooed,” he announced. “You said that this was everything, and you’d better believe I’m remembering every single syllable.”

“A tattoo?” I smiled.

“Yep, we’ll both get one, the same thing, that this is everything.”

My heart melted then, I was in love, I was so damn deep in love that I couldn’t see a way out. But he didn’t need those words now, he needed reassurance of a future after we’d dealt with the present.

“Let’s get you and Ben safe, fix things out there, and then… See where this goes.” That was me giving Josh an out, a way of escaping any threads binding us together.

“Ethan.” He looked so adorable when he was confused, but whatever he was going to say was lost as an alarm warned us that someone had breached the cabin’s perimeter. I switched from kissing and affection to being on guard in a millisecond, only relaxing when I saw on the cameras it was Kayden at the door. I did my due diligence, as he waited, checking for any other arrivals that had maybe followed him here, and then buzzed him in. Security was tight around this place—it wasn’t the sort of cabin that people found by accident, but still Sanctuary admitted they’d had places compromised in the past. That wouldn’t be happening on my watch.
