161 " Burns hummed, meeting Ty's eyes and trying not to smile. "You want the CIA to believe that you mistook your partner for your prisoner, handcuffed him, and delivered him to Langley?"Ty shrugged. "I mean...he grew a beard. It was an honest mistake."Burns nodded. "Fair enough. "

162 " I swear to you, Zane. I thought what I was doing was right. I searched for you after I left New York. You were out of my reach. When Burns read me in, the only thing I could think of was that it was the only way of getting back to you. Being partnered with you full-time, being able . . . being able to see you every day, to have you in my life. When he said you might need protecting, it was the only thing I heard. I swear to you. All I wanted from the day I left you in that hospital was you. To be back there with you. "

163 " Because… you make me the kind of person I’ve always wished I was. "
164 " You are mine,” he asserted in that sharpened, confident-sounding drawl. “I know it; you know it. And so will anyone else who looks at you. "

165 " Deuce glanced at him before turning his attention back to Zane and Julian. “Dare I ask what you’ve done to deserve protective custody?” he asked Julian. “I deal antiques,” Julian answered in a soft voice. Deuce nodded, looking Julian up and down. He turned his head to look at Ty speculatively. “That’s a euphemism for ‘I kill things’, isn’t it? "
166 " All you shitheads need Jesus so far as I'm concerned. "

167 " Zane hurried to catch up. “Wait, Ty, you want to do that with her with us?"“She’s a year old. She won’t understand death and destruction for at least another year.”“If we ever decide to adopt, you’re a mute in any interviews.”“Understood. "

168 " And you,” Ty continued, his voice breaking. “You’re aphoenix, Zane. Rising from the ashes. And all I do is makeyou burn.”Zane’s throat was too tight to swallow past, and his nextbreath came out a choked sob. He had never imagined thatwas how Ty saw him, and hearing it now made him want totake back every harsh word they’d ever shared, every thrustand parry of their relationship. "
169 " What he was afraid of, he’d come to realize, was not dark spaces or falling from great heights or being buried alive. His greatest fears, in the end, were letting down those he loved and saying the words “I love you” without any hope of hearing them in return. "

170 " You’re . . . you’re going back to the Marines?” Alston stuttered. “I thought SOCOM was defunct.”“It’s MARSOC now,” Ty mumbled.”But that’s special operations. You don’t have a choice?”“No. I don’t.” He studied the orders. “I report in forty-eight hours. Immediate deployment.”Zane stood. His hands shook as he gripped the edge of the desk. Ty looked up, seeking Zane out. Zane could see it in Ty’s eyes. There was no choice. No way to wriggle out of it. No way for anyone to save him.“Oh God, Ty,” Zane whispered.Ty stared at him for a moment longer as the others broke into outraged babbling. Then Ty shook himself. He tossed the packet of orders onto the desk and stalked over to Zane.He grabbed his face with both hands and kissed him.The room spun to a halt. The babble ground to a stunned hush.Ty’s hands moved to the small of his back and he held him tight, bending him just enough for Zane to have to wrap his arms around him to keep from falling. He kissed him again. In front of their coworkers. In front of King and Country and anyone who would watch. It was the first purely honest kiss they’d ever shared.And it was a kiss good-bye. "
171 " You ever get gut feelings? Like you see something and you just know?” Ty asked, feeling stupid but not caring. He felt Zane squeeze his hand. “First time I saw you, after I got over hating you, I knew… I knew we’d die together. I could just feel it deep down. Never felt that before. "

172 " Kelly held up a finger. “No half-assed middle school kissing, either.”“Okay.”“I want the whole deal.”“This is starting to feel like I’m leasing a car or something.”“I’m serious, I want the Irish special.”Nick rolled his eyes and looked up at the ceiling. “Fine. Jesus. "

173 " „Ty, the horses are not conspiring against you.” Ty crossed his arms and shook his head. „He looks at me. And he talks to me! And he knows I don't know what he's saying!” Zane squinted at him. „Okay. I think you've been out in the sun a little too long. "
174 " You lurve the tiger," Zane croned. "Shut up, Zane". "
175 " ...there are so many paths in life. Some we choose, and some are chosen for us. We walk our paths without looking down and that's the life we lead. The only things you'll get from guessing where another path would have gone are questions you can't answer and heartache you can't ever soothe. "
176 " Ty,” Zane yelled, “don’t shoot the tiger!”“He started it.” Ty continued to stare at the tiger, and the tiger at him. "
177 " Hell would be more relaxing than this," Zane muttered as he glared at the water. "And I could get a tan. "
178 " At least he now he knew the truth about himself and Zane. Looking raptly into Zane’s dark eyes, Ty wondered why he hadn’t realized he loved the man earlier. "
179 " Deal with it, Meow Mix,” Deuce advised "
180 " Zane.” His voicewas hushed and pensive. “Sometimes I’m not capable ofexpressing how grateful I am for you.”“What do you mean?”Ty put a hand to his own chest, visibly struggling tofind the right words. “For your . . . So few people have everunderstood the way I work. In here.” He tapped his chest.“Thank you for . . . your insight. "
