'And the white knight never left the board without blood all over him. 'Indeed.' Liam reached out carefully and dragged a finger down Nick's cheek, then held it up as if he'd wiped something off his face. 'You're bringing a chess set to a gunfight.' 'What was it you used to tell me before missions?' Nick swallowed past the tightness in his throat. 'I promise to never leave you alone in the dark,' he whispered.
