"Jaded kind of comes with the territory when you cage a bunch of animals," she said softly with a shrug. "We aren't exactly living out our wildest fantasies in here." Kat sometimes didn't mind that they were soldiers and pawns in a bigger game but she wanted to have the allowances that military personnel got too.
Kat chuckled at Tyler's comment. Thank God for small favors, she thought to herself, grateful that they had yet to lose their sex drive in the mess of their lives. "You ever think about trying again?" The words came tumbling out finally and Kat's breathing slowed, waiting in anticipation for Tyler's answer. What if he said no? Would that finally be the nail in the proverbial coffin? Maybe if he said no, she could finally stop thinking about it and move on. But what if he said yes? Hope could be dangerous, especially under their circumstances. She didn't dare look up at Tyler, too nervous to see his reaction.
