   Summary

   Soap rested his thumb under the point of Ghost’s jaw and felt where his pulse was racing.

   “This is illegal,” Ghost whispered.

   “So is the war,” Soap pointed out. “Depending on who you ask.” Slowly, he ran his hand around the back of Ghost’s head and tilted it down.

   Fuck, he shouldn’t be doing this. Not with his superior officer, and certainly not in the middle of their deployment to Baghdad, Iraq, 2003.
