“Oh wow, the mighty Lords of Sin are pussy whipped! Did hell freeze over?” I can't believe I'm seeing this side of Kaden. Where is the gentleman who drove me to the dorms less than a week ago or the one with whom I enjoyed a pleasant conversation the first night we met?

“Kaden,” I say in warning, “They are not pussy whipped, but we have a mutual respect for one another, which did not come very easily. Stop being an asshole. You do want to go home, don't you?”

“Whatever,” he scowls, “To answer your question, no. I have not received any threats, and as for that POS sperm donor of mine, I've never met him, and I never want to.”

It's my turn to look confused now, “You've never met your father? Then why are you at Helshire?”

“He knocked my mother up and then took off after making promises of marriage. He left the country, and we have never heard from him since. As for coming to Helshire, it's got the best Lacrosse team in the state, and my mother also came here.”

“Oh? What is your mother's name?” Oakley asks him.

“Cathleen Miller, if you must know. She's from a wealthy family, but she mainly kept to herself until my sperm donor sweet-talked her into getting into her pants the night after graduation.” Kaden's animosity toward Bradley is thick, and I kind of feel sorry for him.

“So, you're telling me that nobody here at Helshire knows you're a Legacy?” I ask him softly.

“No. Not even your father knows. I wanted to come here to play, not get wrapped up in all the drama of the Sinners, and I sure as hell didn't want to follow in my father's footsteps.”

“Hm,” I'm not sure how to ask this next question, so I'm just going to come right out and say it, “Do you know anything about a rape that took place the year your fath—Bradley was a Lord?”

Kaden scrunches his brows together, “No. I've only heard how he used my mother and left her knocked up.” He looks around at the four of us, “I would appreciate it if my parentage doesn't get discussed further than this room. The last thing I want is for others to think differently of me. I just want to be Kaden Miller, Captain of the Lacrosse team. I made it almost four years getting by on my own merits, and I want to make it to graduation this Spring doing the same thing.”

I look back at the Lords, and they all shrug. Standing up, I stare at my guys until they reluctantly come over and untie Kaden, “Your secret is safe with us, but you should know, we only figured it out because you are the spitting image of Bradley, and his photo hangs in a room at the Frat House.”

His mouth kicks up on the side as he stands, “I'll take my chances.”

“Please let me know if you start receiving threatening letters.” I briefly touch his arm and hear a slight growl behind me.

“Calm down, Harris. I'm not after your girl,” Kaden looks at me amusingly, “No offense, but you're a bit much for me.”

I shrug, “I'm not everyone's cup of tea,” I jerk my head back toward my Lords, “But I am their kind of whiskey.”

“Damn straight...” They all say in sync.

“Well, if that's all, can I go now?”

I nod at Kaden, “Yeah. I will let you know if we have any more questions.”

“Can you please just call next time? I prefer not being gagged and dragged out of the locker room again,” Kaden sighs his request.

It sounds like a good time to me,but I keep that thought to myself and glare at Fynn and Jett as they snicker, “At least you didn't drag him out naked.”

“Oh, we almost did, but then we didn't want you looking upon another half-naked guy.” Jett scoffs.

Rolling my eyes, I walk Kaden up the stairs and to the front door, “I'm sorry for their behavior, Kaden.”

“Hey, they're only trying to protect you. I get it. I'll see you around, Cat.” I watch him walk out the door.

“Yeah, I'll see you around.”
