The doorbell jolted him awake and his neck ached from the uncomfortable position he’d obviously fallen asleep in. He blinked gritty eyes and noticed it was almost noon. He got up, stretched a bit, and ambled to the door. He knew before he even opened it that it wasn’t Cassie. She would’ve just walked in. He opened it, wondering what other surprises were in store for him.

Mick stood there, in full biker gear. Thrand glanced in the drive and spotted the guy’s Harley. If he weren’t so off-kilter, he would be over there checking it out. But as it was, just being upright took energy.

“Hey, boy,” Mick said, then grimaced. “You look like hell.”

Thrand nodded, turned and left the door open. He walked to the kitchen to pour out the now cold coffee and started brewing a fresh batch. He heard the door shut and Mick’s heavy steps.

He faced Mick as he sat on a stool. “Nice place you got here.”

“Thanks. Coffee?” He offered as he waited for Mick to tear into him. There was no doubt he was here to rip him a new one. Mick was always protective of his girls.

“No, thanks. I wanted to come by and tell you how great your gig was last night.”

Thrand cocked a brow at him. He didn’t believe that for a second and poured himself a cup. He hoped the caffeine would make things seem a little clearer for what Mick was really here to say.

“I had no idea you could play like that.” Mick narrowed his gaze. “What’s up, man? Something bothering you?”

Thrand laughed sarcastically. “Would you just get on with it? ‘Cause I feel like hell, and I have no idea what I’m going to do.”

Mick’s brows furrowed and his heavy boot tapped his floor. “What are you talking about? Did something happen?”

“You don’t know?” Thrand asked, surprised.

“No clue. I just wanted to talk to you about an idea I had. But is there something you need to get off your chest first? Where’s Jailbait, by the way? I can only assume it has something to do with that girl.”

“Oh hell, Mick. Isn’t it always a girl? Especially that one.” He took a sip of the coffee, ready for it to start working anytime. “She left me. Packed her stuff and left.”

Mick chuckled. “Well, she is a bit of a firecracker.”

Thrand sighed and rubbed the top of his head. “I don’t usually ask for advice, but I’m really at a loss right now.”

“Spit it out, boy.”

Thrand sighed and did just that, telling Mick the entire history of him and Cas. He finally paused, swallowed, and blurted out the rest. “She was a virgin.”

It was a little refreshing to see that he wasn’t the only one blindsided by it.

“Cassie is a virgin?”

“Was.”

“Damn. I’m guessing she didn’t tell you ahead of time.” Mick stroked his goatee in thought. “So you’re feeling a shitload of guilt?”

Thrand took another sip of his coffee and wished it were whiskey instead. “You have no idea. I was supposed to protect her.
