CATAPULTING AND HURLING

JOSH

The dumbass bouncer grabs Cassie's arm. He's Billie's cousin. Otherwise, I'd have fired his hick ass long ago. She yanks herself free of his grasp and catapults herself forward.

I hear him call her a bitch under his breath, and if I weren't so worried about her, I'd have stopped long enough to kick his ass. That will have to keep, but trust me, I won't forget it. He doesn't need to treat any woman like that, especially mine.

Yeah, I still think of her as mine. I suppose I always will.

Cassie stumbles to the curb and drops onto it, straight on her ass, elbows on her knees, head hanging.

Forgoing stealth for speed, I hasten to reach her. She turns her head slightly, looks at my boots—does she recognize them?—then turns back to staring at the asphalt and pebbled excuse of a parking lot.

Seconds later, Billie's calling me. I wish she'd quit acting like she's my damned mother. Or even my big sister. She keeps calling my name. Persistent.

I grunt and more or less tell her to go away. I was probably gruffer than I needed to be but damn, like I said, persistent.

I turn back to Cassie and try to talk to her, but before we can even begin a conversation, she's puking all over the parking lot, herself, my boots.

After that bout, a sob is wrenched from her, and she begins to cry. I'm talking ugly cry.

Of course, I help her. I take her to my dump of a place and help her into the shower. Even with raccoon eyes from her makeup and with her hair hanging all stringy-like and tears staining her cheeks, she's hands down the most beautiful woman in the world—

Ah hell. Now she's making moves that no man could resist. Not even a superhuman one. And I'm damned far from superhuman.
