TBT *The interaction with Sterling in the hallway had provided her the necessary cover to join Tegan without the aura of shame she had felt the past 20 hours or more. She still couldn't believe what she had done. And that he had accepted. Closing her eyes after she settled herself on the plane, she relived every moment of taking Tegan`s blood. "I choose you." Really? Could she not have been so cliche? Sitting beside him now, she was aware of him in every way. She felt his confusion, his determination, his desire to have this mission over and done with, without her presence. But she had a mission too, to avenge Camden. Her eyes opened wide. Holy hell, what had she done. Her pulse skyrocketed and she knew he could tell but prayed he attributed it to flying. Heat was rolling off of him and it confused her. She didn't need this. Didn't want this distraction of an Order warrior. Blinking, she pictured Cam. He was the important one right now. But another image came unbidden. Tegan's green eyes transforming to amber, the taste of his blood on her tongue, the way she had fallen apart in his arms. Her face flushed with shame and a hint of desire. More than a hint if she was being honest. She had to stop. Camden was her priority. Closing her eyes again, she rested her head back on the seat and mentally pushed the image of the strong Breed male sitting beside her out of her mind.*
