Chapter 17

Caleb

Then

I stare down at the disassembled revolver pieces littered about on my cot. This is the third time I’ve cleaned my weapon this week, but I don’t care. Mindless, menial tasks are just about the only thing keeping me sane right now.

What the hell was I thinking in that jeep? Scratch that. I know exactly what I was thinking. I was thinking about how I could barely recall the last time I’d gotten any. I was thinking about how I can’t stand most of the men around here but then in walks Boxcar. He’s normal, smart, practically adorable in just about every way. Just looking at his green eyes in the dark was enough to melt my damn panties right off.

Fuck, he felt so good.

But we can’t do this. It was a one-time thing. It’ll never happen again.

Shit. I said the same thing after that kiss, didn’t I?

I’ll just have to stay away from him between missions. Shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

“Hey, Caleb.”

Dammit.

Boxcar stands at the foot of my cot with his arms crossed. I look away, scanning the empty tent, hoping that someone else will walk in here and interrupt whatever the hell he’s about to do.

“Go away, please,” I say.

“Hey…” He holds up his hands. “I come in peace.”

I drop my head down again and tighten the third screw on the side plate to keep the cylinder in place. “What do you want, Carson?”

“To talk.”

“We have nothing to talk about.”

“Just... hear me out,” he says. “Please?”

I pause, inhaling a lungful of thick, humid, desert air. Still, I keep my head down and half of my focus stays on my weapon. “Fine.”

“I know you’ve been avoiding me since the other night…”

“I’m not avoiding you. I’m your bodyguard,” I say.

“Caleb, you haven’t looked me in the eye in a week. Either you’ve got quite the crick in your neck or you really like my shoes.”

I sigh and raise my head to look at him. He instantly smiles and my muscles turn to jelly. “There. I looked at you. Can I have a moment to myself now?”

“Not yet.” He clears his throat. “I still have something to say.”

“Then, say it.”

I keep my eyes steady on him, desperately trying not to swoon. Somehow, he’s grown more attractive since that night.

“Okay…” He shifts over to Fox’s cot and sits down across from me, giving me his undivided attention. “I think — and it’s possible you might, too — that the two of us kind of got off on the wrong foot…” His hands jerk nervously. “And I don’t mean that in a puny way. I wasn’t referencing the two of us getting off…”

I deepen my glare. “Boxcar.”

“Right.” He shakes his head. “Obviously, I like you, Caleb. I think you’re beautiful and strong but there’s so much more to you than that. I would like the chance to go back in time and get to know you as if the night in the jeep never happened — as amazing and strange as it was.
