Goose was ecstatic when she said she wanted him to take her but then he froze for a solid ten seconds when she asked for his real name. In order to gain himself some time, he started kissing her all over her body. He went down under the blanket to her belly button but then reversed course and kissed his way back up to her neck. He stared into her eyes with worry evident in his.<br/><br/>"I . . I . . . damn it," he hissed softly. "James is my birth name. I answer to Goose more though."<br/><br/>It had been very hard for him to say that much. He prayed that it wasn't the key she needed to put things together just yet. What he needed more than anything else was for her to love him as a wife loves her husband. That was how he saw them and that was how he wanted her to see them before he revealed the truth.
