that River had removed the locks. She spun away from the door and grabbed her stomach.
“Oh God.” She fought the urge to be sick. Memories of her past bombarded her, terror too. Was River more similar to her ex-husband than she’d thought?
“I have to get the hell out of here,” she softly whispered.
In a panic, she started to throw her belongings into her bag. With or without a car, she had to leave. She didn’t care if she had to jog to the road and hitchhike home. At least she knew what she’d face going back.

“Why?” River glared at Ryder.
“I thought you wanted to put on a show. You are the one who likes to perform in front of a stadium.” A chuckle escaped from Ryder. “Although you riding that little blonde is a lot more interesting to watch than you trying to break your back on a bull.
She’s a hell of a lot hotter too.”
Anger spiked in River. “She’s skittish enough, damn it. Did you have to mention we share women? Did you see her reaction? She wasn’t turned on. It horrified her.”
Ryder shrugged. “There’s always a first time. Why don’t we go find her and introduce her to the wonderful world of tag team? She’ll enjoy the hell out of it.”
A bad cramp hit River’s stomach and his hands fisted. The idea of Ryder touching Brit left a bad taste in his mouth and filled him with rage. “Not happening. You go near her and I’ll deck your ass.”
Ryder studied him for a long moment. “It’s like that, is it?”
The hesitation was short. “Yeah, it is.” River took a deep breath, his anger seeping out. “There’s something about her, bro. I just can’t get enough of her and she makes me feel things I never have before. Even when she’s pissed at me, I just want to hold her.”
“Then you better go find her. She had that look your bulls get when they buck you off. She’s going to run for the nearest gate out of this place.”
A curse tore from River as he spun. “Stay the hell away from her, and if you hear us having sex, walk away.” He moved quickly for the stairs, taking them two at a time. Brit wasn’t going to fuck and run on him again.
5 Chapter Six
The bedroom door hit the wall hard and Brit spun around in fear. River walked into the room and slammed the door behind him. He crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze settling on her bag she’d just zipped closed, and a frown curved his lips downward, showing his displeasure.
“I didn’t know he’d come in.”
“It doesn’t matter.” She looked away. “I’m leaving. You can either fix my car or I’ll hike out. I don’t care anymore. I’m out of here regardless of how I leave.” She bent and grabbed her bag. “Move out of my way.”
His hands dropped to his sides. “No.”
Shock rolled through her as she straightened. “Excuse me?”
“That was unfortunate. He shouldn’t have walked in there and watched us. He should have turned away when he heard we were busy but I can’t change what happened.”
“I can’t stay here.”
“You keep saying that but you’re not leaving.”
“Watch me.” She tried to walk around him.
River turned as she passed him, one arm sliding around her waist while his other hand grabbed the strap of her bag and tore it from her hand. She gasped in outrage as he lifted her from the floor and then she was in the air. Her body bounced as she landed on his soft mattress and then two-hundred-plus pounds of male pinned her down.
“Get the hell off me.” She glared up at his face.
“Has anyone ever told you that you have a temper?”
“Yes and it’s always deserved, you Neanderthal. You can’t just go around grabbing women and flinging them onto your bed.”
A grin flashed, revealing his white teeth. “Why the hell not?”
“It’s wrong and you can’t make me stay. Raine, get the hell off me.”
He shifted his leg and kicked one of the bed posts hard. She heard a noise and turned her gaze from his to watch one of the chains fall down
