"I'll just come see you if we run across something," Thad adds menacingly, intentionally poking at the human he could easily take. "Until then, head to Chicago. I've already gotten you a ticket. We'll be there as soon as we can be."

I just nod and accept the plane ticket he proffers, and then he gives me a wink before disappearing out the door. Frankie watches him for a minute, and then he shakes his head.

"I still don't like that guy."

I let a laugh free, and then Kane adds, "I'm with you on that."

Frankie smirks, and then he pats me on the shoulder.

"Chin up, kid. You know I'll find her."

I force a smile through tight lips and hold back the tears.

"Thanks, Frankie."

Kane's arms wrap around me, making my head press against his chest, and for the first time in my life, I fall apart in fron

t of someone. The onslaught of tears is unexpected, and now I can't stop as they pour out harder, soaking through his shirt.

I'm so embarrassed, but I can't help it. Kane coos as his lips stroke my head. Consoling me like a scared child, he scoops me up and carries me over to the bed.

"Thanks for looking after her. Make sure she doesn't miss the flight," Frankie says with a torn tone.

I know he hates leaving me, especially since I'm breaking, but at the same time, he knows he has to. I'm too slow to be of any real help.

"Don't worry. I've got her," Kane murmurs while pulling me closer, letting me sob freely.

Frankie finally leaves. I'm completely unable to shut off the floodgates right now.

"I'm sorry," I whimper as I continue to fall apart.

"Hey, no. Don't be sorry. You have every right to be upset, Alyssa."

I try to choke back some of it, finally regaining a little composure, and then I glace down at the ticket. I sigh when I see I've only got four hours to get my stuff and board.

"I should get ready," I say through my emotion.

He takes a deep breath, and then he lets me go so I can get up. I can't look at him now that I've turned into a weeping mess. Does losing your virginity also take away your strength?

We pull up to the airport, and I turn to give Kane a soft kiss as we head in.

"Thanks for bringing me. What time's your flight?" I ask, feeling lonely already.

"One," he says with a small smile.

"Same time then. At least you don't have to wait around to get home. Will you call me later?" I ask when we reach security.

"Well, I could, but that would be a little odd," he says with a bit of a smirk.

I get a little sick, wondering why he said that.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask, sounding a little offended, and he roars out a laugh while pulling me to him.

"It would be odd since I'm going to be with you," he snickers out.

"What? You're going to Chicago?" I gasp.

"Of course. You thought I came to Canada to see you for one night? I'm here for the duration, babe," he says with a sexy tone, making me blush.
