Chapter Six

Shaun watched as the bikers chased after Jesse and his idiot girlfriend. He’d noticed the two, leather-clad mongrels messing with Emily long before Jesse had. He’d hoped she’d join up with them and go have a gang bang, but apparently, she wanted Jesse more. Shaun wasn’t surprised. He understood the sentiment.

He was worried. He jumped off the stage and peered out the nearest window. He’d beat some biker ass if they were bothering Jesse.

An intervention wasn’t needed. Jesse and Emily drove out of the lot in what he recognized as Jesse’s mom’s van. The group of bikers waved their fists and spat profanity, but they didn’t continue the chase.

“Who the fuck was that?” Danny asked when he returned to the stage.

Shaun shrugged. His guitar was in its case and the cords to his amp were reeled in. There wasn’t much left to do by this point, but he put his head down and made himself look busy to avoid questioning.

He wasn’t getting away with it that easily.

“Yeah, who was that?” Ben cut in. “Was that one of your friends from school?”

“Yep,” Shaun said.

“Why was he hugging you?” Danny asked, and Shaun bristled and squared his shoulders.

This was exactly why he’d been avoiding questions! Why had Jesse had to hug him like that?! Why couldn’t he have waited until they were alone to do stupid gay shit like that?!

“I don’t know,” he grumbled.

“No, seriously, he was all over you!” Danny laughed.

“He liked the set, I guess,” Shaun said in a lame defense.

Danny snorted with amusement. “Too bad the ladies don’t react the same way, huh? You might actually get laid sometime.” There was a significant pause, and Shaun held his breath as he shifted his guitar and amp around. Danny watched him for a moment and then burst into laughter. “Maybe you’re fucking that guy.”

Shaun kicked his amp out of the way and lunged at Danny. His hands went around the asshole’s throat. Danny’s laughter was cut short. His eyes popped out of his head.

“Shaun!” Ben hissed. He stepped between the guitarist and the drummer and shoved Shaun back a few paces. Shaun, wild-eyed and burning with anger, clenched his fists open and shut. He wanted to kill Danny for saying that!

“We’re not fighting on stage,” Ben said. He pushed Shaun again, back to his guitar and his amp. “Go load that up and I’ll get you a beer.”

“Fuck you, Ben,” Shaun said darkly, but he followed his directions. Danny rubbed his throat, but he still looked terribly amused. He’d stopped laughing at least.

“You’re not…fucking that guy, right?” Ben asked after the equipment had been loaded into their individual cars. Danny and Will were at the bar, getting even drunker, but he and Ben sat at a table in a dark corner. The girls Ben had been flirting with all night were a few tables over, still trying to catch his eye, but unfortunately for them, Ben only flirted for fun.

“What are you talking about?” Shaun was on his way to drunk and was feeling quite nice.
