They continued on downstairs, passing a few other officers along the way. ‘Oh, so my ass is fluffy now?’ She punched Chase again as the Shepherd laughed heartily. ‘You’re getting soft on me, officer.’Ĭhase blushed, but still shot back. ![]() She playfully poked him as they walked out of the door. ‘Something funny, Chase?’Ĭhase laughed again. Come on now, where’s that tough outer exterior?’ Chase laughed out loud by accident at his quip. ![]() ‘Christ, you’re getting all mushy, Chase. God, why was she the way she was? Sure, no-one is perfect, and Skye definitely had her share of flaws, but in Chase’s eyes, she was. Now come on, you stubborn pup.’ Chase chuckled again. Chase laughed as he raised his paws in mock surrender. This is non-negotiable.’ Skye was dead serious, if the stern look on her face was anything to go off of. I just put it in sleep mode.’ She gestured toward the door to Chase’s office. Suddenly, Skye’s paw landed on the power button. I have a massive backlog of this shit.’ Chase sighed, and went to continue inserting the papers in front into the filing system on his computer. ‘No, I need to get this stupid paperwork done. You’re all work work work, then sleep, rinse and repeat. You work way too much.’ Skye’s voice was lined with genuine concern for her mate.

She was, in Chase’s opinion, his best life decision ever.Ĭhase chuckled at the quip. Chase loved her for that her outward beauty, her great personality, and her ability to brighten up his day whenever she was around. ‘Slow night tonight, Chase?’ Skye’s magenta eyes sparkled in her teasing.

The emotional scars, the fucking-’ he stumbled for a word, his mind now hazy from the alcohol, ‘everything. ‘Believe me when I say this pups, I hope none of you have to go through the hell I went through. Never let me have fun.’ Scott laughed again. ‘I’ve lost quite a few of my buddies,’ he had said somberly, his alcohol induced monologue finally cracking his tough exterior and showing his true emotional side, ‘and a good captain that I would call my adoptive father.’ He chuckled into his glass, took a sip, and then cursed as he sat his glass down. Chase remembered Scott saying that a few months ago, when the former Delta Force operative had had a few drinks in his system. Loss is something we can never recover from easily.
