Mine to Cherish. Veteran K9 Team, #1

What happens when the guy who has been fostering my husky while I'm deployed turns out to be the one-night-stand I ghosted before leaving town?Prior to shipping out for a military assignment, I had the best sex of my life with a guy whose name I never got. Now I'm home from my six-month deployment and waking up to an angry phone call from a man claiming to have my escape artist of a dog. Coincidently, he's the guy who took care of her while I was gone. Imagine my surprise when I walk a couple of blocks and come face to face with the man who rocked my world and starred in my fantasies for the last one hundred and eighty days of my monotonous life. When I'm in his arms, I feel cherished. Something about John Vale feels like home. I knew it the night we met and kicked myself for not exchanging information. Now, I have a second chance, but after another amazing night together, he ghosts me-much like I did to him six months ago-and I'm left heartbroken.
I fell faster than I should-I know this-but something tells me he's the one. Can I blame him for putting on the brakes when every time we're near each other we burn hot and move fast?And if not, how much time do I give him to realize we're perfect for each other? !! Formerly titled Dog Tags !!
