“While I appreciate the warning, that’s not at all what I was referring to I was talking about the bullshit you spouted earlier”
Rocket couldn’t help it She was too fucking cute with her nose wrinkled and her pissed off expression that didn’t quite take away her crea about?”
“The bullshit about you leaving DarkOps because they were using you, not because you had a proble an innocent man Or if you don’t want to call him innocent, a man that didn’t deserved to be killed” She fell silent, just stared at him with those emerald eyes that seemed to see clear into his soul
Why couldn’t she just buy the damn story, walk away from him, and let him suffer in peace? He steeled his expression Looked like he was going to have to fall back on plan B: being a total dick
Her hating hi his filthy mitts on her
“Little girl,” he practically growled as he loomed over her Fear flashed for just one second before she schooled it, but it was enough to make him want to vomit If hell wasn’t his after-life plan before, he’dknow me? You don’t know shit about me I’ve done shit that would make Lefty look like a fuckin choir boy” Let her chew on that for a while
Expression so calm it was almost serene, she reached a hand up and covered his mouth Rocket flinched, the initial contact like fire and silk all at once “Stop,” she said, but her voice held no fear More like a teacher scolding a disobedient student “I don’t know everything there is to know about you Not even close And I don’t know the details of your ith DarkOps, but I’ve gathered it’s dark and probably twisted”
Understatement of the century
“I’ve spent a lot of tiht and shiny, but my present is pretty damned dark and twisted Yet there is only one man I can say with one hundred percent certainty I trust to keep me safe One man I knoithout a doubt will not hurt me no matter how vulnerable I an Your name and Lefty’s should never be spoken in the same sentence, unless it’s to describe the ways you plan to make him suffer”
He froze, the breath in his lungs seizing A slow, yet powerful thump sounded in his ears in tiht He’d die before hurting her, physically at least Before this was over, both their hearts could end up flayed
“So why don’t you try again Tell me what really eats at you about your time with DarkOps Tell me why you were upset today You know my deepest shame and are the only one who has seen me in the very lowest moment of my life Let me see you in yours I will not betray your trust And I will not walk away from you because of it”
He didn’t dare blink If he did, the angel lying next to him would surely vanish How could a wo, supportive faly side, accept hiotten an up close and personal view of hell recently, but she should only be more critical of him because of it
