Grady sat in his cabin awhile, replaying over and over again what Callie had told him. She hadn’t mentioned their night together, but then again, he hadn’t either. He’d been chickenshit, not wanting to talk about it over the phone. Even before she had called, he had intended to go over to her place—soon—to talk to her about what had happened between them. He didn’t know her work exact work schedule, with her picking up extra shifts. No, he was just making excuses. He’d been a dick. He should have just ridden past her house and checked up on her. If she hadn’t been at home, he could have kept trying.

Still, they needed to talk. He didn’t have any idea how she felt about what had happened between them, but he was still feeling a bit guilty. Liar. More than a little bit guilty. Had he betrayed David’s memory and friendship? Would Callie hate him for what they had done in a moment of weakness? That’s what it had been. A moment of monumental weakness on his behalf. He closed his eyes. Her touch had felt so soft, incredible, and he’d allowed years of fantasies to overrun reality.

She hadn’t sounded angry on the phone, but with Callie it was sometimes hard to tell. She wasn’t an overly emotional person, at least not so anyone looking at her would know what was going on inside her head. Still, he knew her well enough to know that her loyalty to David had been unswerving. He might have permanently damaged their relationship . . . or what remained of their friendship.

Well, he’d find out in the morning. In the meantime, he had to talk to Levi. If Callie had a stalker, he needed to stick close and find out who was behind it. That meant being away from the club, away from his focus on the Jokers for a few days, maybe longer. His hands balled into fists as he stared down at them, watching the veins pop up with tension and anger. Heat surged through his body at the thought of someone bothering Callie. As anger took hold, he had to force himself to close his eyes and breathe through it. He needed to maintain a calm sense of time and place.

It didn’t take much to trigger his rages, but despite what Seth believed, he was working hard to get them under control. They were not only mentally and emotionally exhausting but wore on his physical sense of stability. It was amazing that he hadn’t had a stroke or done damage to his heart with these sudden and furious surges of high blood pressure and adrenaline. It couldn’t be good for him; he knew that.

Finally, after several minutes of deep breathing and concentration, he got a handle on the anger. The heat dissipated. Success. Dealing with Callie’s stalker, if that’s what was going on, would require focus and calm. Going off half cocked wouldn’t do her any good and might leave her even more vulnerable.
