“Two gooey rolls, drenched in brown sugar with pecan bits,” I corrected. “Yummy goodness that undoubtedly will give me a stomachache but it’ll be worth it.”
“How about I feed you something that won’t give you a stomachache.”
I used another mental stop sign and blocked that out, too.
I wasn’t going to process how much I liked him wanting to feed me. Neither was I going to expend the energy of trying to remember the last time someone cared enough to make sure I ate.
Something so small—silly really—yet at the same time huge. At least for someone like me, who’d never had anyone give a shit if I was taking care of myself.
“Fun fact about me, I don’t eat MREs.”
Another twitch of his lips.
God, he was killing me.
“Can’t say I blame you, they suck.”
“So I’ll pass and stick with my—”
“Yummy goodness,” he finished for me.
Okay, now he was just twisting the knife in my heart.
Hot then cold.

“Listen, Easton, before we part ways I need—”
“Part ways?”
“You said we were going back,” I reminded him.
“We are. You’re coming with me.”
“Yeah, I know back to the US. Then parting ways. Regrouping.”

I needed to get away from Easton before I did something really dumb and got more attached to him than I already was. Not to mention, I was a coward and didn’t want to face the rest of Z Corps.
I shook my head but didn’t get a chance to speak before Easton continued. “You’re coming with us. That’s non-negotiable.
Not this again.
“Non-negotiable? What, are you going to count to ten and threaten to throw me over your shoulder again?”
“I don’t know, are you going to threaten to fondle my dick again?”
