It wasn’t until they’d settled into a frozen silence in the back of the black town car Jake had on standby that he remembered that not all was well between them. He had only found her in that alley because she’d run. She’d run because she was upset. Because his choices had upset her. Now that the rush of near-violence was fading, the temporary closeness of a close call had fallen away, and they were left with the reality of what had come before.

He’d fucked up.

He’d been rash. He’d been so rattled by his uncharacteristic displays of emotion, by his inability to control himself around her, by the unfamiliar feelings she provoked, that he’d been even more uncharacteristically rash in his reaction, and the result was that she’d been hurt. Worse, he’d tried to deny it.

But it had all been exposed when he’d seen her, threatened, in that alley. What he’d felt then terrified him. What he’d felt himself capable of. He’d wanted to destroy that boy, destroy him utterly, until the moment that his hood had fallen back.

He’d looked so much like Stephan.

Maybe not the Stephan of better times. Maybe it was just the resemblance of a junkie.

In those slow, frozen seconds, it had all flooded back. And he’d remembered the reason he’d agreed to train Catie in the first place, the reason he hadn’t just sent her to Roman to deal with: his promise. For all her posturing, for all the threat she posed to Volare, she couldn’t hide her loneliness. And Volare was perfect for her. If there was ever someone who needed to discover themselves, it was her, and she was the most natural sub he’d ever encountered.

No, that wasn’t quite right. She felt natural with him.

And he was supposed to help her. He could imagine Roman dealing with the issue of the thesis just fine, but he felt he should be the one to be there for Catie herself. Be there, in whatever way he could. Do whatever he was able to do. He’d forgotten, somehow, and her ability to make him feel in new, unimagined ways clouded his mind, confused his purpose. The very thing that made her special to him made it harder for him to be unselfish.

It had been difficult to convince her to even accept a ride. He felt her retreating from him even now. She looked steadily out the window, into the rain, seeing nothing, yet determined not to look at him.

“Thank you,” she said suddenly.

Taken completely off-guard, he grappled for a response.

“You don’t have to thank me for that,” he said, embarrassed. “That was just…what one does.”

Too late he realized how impersonal that sounded. He saw the edges of her head tilt more towards the window, saw her face in the reflection: it was pained.

He tried again. “I meant that the alternative was unacceptable. Not…”

Shit.

“I would not have chased just anybody out in the rain.” She half turned to him. He went on. “I, in fact, have never chased anybody out into the rain.
