And she was his.

Now that he was finally getting out of this fucking place and going home, he was going to tell her how he felt.

“Don’t talk shit about Tink.”

Radar groaned as he came up beside him. “Gilligan, you know better than to tease Wildcard about his Tinkerbelle.”

Gilligan just grinned. “Come on, what else are we going to talk about? Your hemorrhoids?”

Gilligan took off as Radar raced after him. Sighing, Lachie followed them. He needed to find out what this scouting mission was about. And then he could message Tinkerbelle.

I’m coming home.

And then . . . I’m going to make you mine.

Five hours later. . . he stared into the dead face of his best friend. His entire body shook as he ran his gaze over the carnage and death surrounding him.

It had been an ambush.

An IED had taken out the first Humvee, leaving the five of them in the rear vehicle to attempt to fight them off. Somehow, he’d gotten cut off from the rest of his unit. And when he’d gotten back to them . . .

Dead. They were all dead.

All fucking dead. His fault. He should have been with them.

He should have died with them!

“Lachie! Wake up!”

The words barely penetrated the sludge surrounding him.

“Wake up! Please! I need you!”

Needed him.

Tink needed him.

He woke suddenly, shaking and sweaty, gasping for breath. Sitting up, his heart pounded as he stared around him.

His gaze hit the woman sitting on the bed with him, barely holding back her tears.

Isa.

His best friend. His girl.

If only he wasn’t fucked in the head, then she could have been his fucking everything.

Grabbing her, he drew her into his chest. He knew he probably stank. He shouldn’t be holding her like this. It was too much. He was holding her too tight.

You’re going to hurt her.

That brought him back to reality quicker than anything else would. He’d never hurt Isa. Not his Tinkerbelle.

And if he did . . . then he’d leave and never come back.

Taking a deep breath in, he let it out slowly and loosened his hold on her. It was then that her words started to penetrate the ringing in his ears.
