Chapter Seven — Jace

During my deployment, before everything went to hell, I’d had endless hours to think and in that time, I’d created multiple fantasy versions of what my reunion with Kat would be like. When that bomb went off, all those dreams and plans had blown to pieces right along with it. I’d ached for Kat, spent hours wishing she would somehow appear at my hospital bedside. I dreamed of her simple smile, soothing voice, dark, shiny hair. Over the past months, those thoughts and yearnings had been stuffed down so deep, out of self preservation, that holding her in my arms, an overwhelming surge of buried emotions shot to the surface. I couldn’t get enough of her. I ran my hands—both of them—over her arms, through her silky hair, along her jaw, over her lips.

Kat was everything I wanted and as I held her in my arms, I resolved to do everything in my power to keep her—even if it cost me every last drop of pride. She had taken a bulldozer to my walls and I was too damn tired to build them back up again. Holding her felt too good, too right, and I didn’t think I could push her away again.

I backed up just far enough so that I could see her eyes again, suddenly starving for the sight. She smiled at me through the remnants of her tears, and I wiped them away with my good hand, a swipe of my thumb along each sculpted cheekbone. “Thank you.”

Kat arched a brow. “For what?” Her voice was barely above a whisper.

I smiled sadly, thinking of the wasted time we’d spent apart. “For coming over here, throwing dishes, and calling me out on my bullshit.” She laughed, and the sound warmed me from the inside out, igniting a joy I’d forgotten about somewhere along the way. I smiled at her, but when her laughter faded, I dropped the humor from my voice, choked up with emotion again, and told her, “I don’t know what I did to get you, but I swear, I’m gonna spend every day for the rest of my life looking for ways to make you as happy as you make me.”

She stared at me, her pupils wide and dark. “Come on, let’s go back to my place.” Kat stood and reached for my hand.

Her suggestion filled me with longing, my body waking up and aching in a way it hadn’t for months. In the middle of all the pain and recovery, getting laid had been the last thing on my mind, but with Kat standing before me, the feel of her skin under my fingertips, it came back and left me feeling like the nervous, first timer I’d been over a decade ago. I wanted her so badly, but it was like I wasn’t sure what to do, and, although I hated to admit it, I wondered if I would even be able to perform. “What about Jax?” I asked, taking her hand in my good one.
