Charlie feels it then, a spike of anger that she hasn't in a while. If he hadn't put her in this position, she wouldn't have been in danger, but whether she's at the front or back in Philadelphia, she's in danger because she's his. Plaything or not, she's at his side for a good deal of his time by his order, which means that she's in danger. And now that she's not just a plaything, now that he's dragged her kicking and screaming into feelings, there's no way it's not going to get out that General Sebastian Monroe has someone at his side that is more than a good time girl.

A girl with the same last name as his former right hand man, a man who'd been right there with her when the slaughter occurred.

It's too late to think about it now and Charlie presses a kiss to his skin. "It doesn't matter. I'm here now and tomorrow, we'll head back."

And in the morning, she'll start giving those orders, too. Whether or not Jeremy and Miles have prepared the rest of his army for her to do that or they're aware of what she's done and agree, she'll have to see then.
