Ryder

I was still seeing red as the limo drove through the streets of Los Angeles. I didn’t want to snap at Katie, but I wasn’t in the mood to have her tell me my behavior was unacceptable. As far as I was concerned, JC got off easy because I was ready to kill him. Even now, I had half a mind to go back and pummel him.

I dug the heels of my palms into my eye sockets as if that would get the image of JC pinning Katie to the wall with his hands on her body asking her if she had panties on out of my head.

Had she been okay with it, I’d have been angry but accepted it. But she wasn’t okay with it. She didn’t look afraid, but she certainly looked concerned.

“Thank you.”

I gritted my teeth, not wanting to listen to Katie lecture me, except, what did she say? I turned my head to her direction.

She gave me a small smile. “I was getting ready to pop his balls, but I wasn’t sure that would work, so thank you for dealing with it.”

I quirked a brow. “Pop his balls?”

She nodded. “In self-defense class, we learned that it just takes a few pounds of pressure to break one.”

That broke some of the tension coiling through every muscle and I dropped my head back on the seat headrest.

“But it could still—”

“Katie, so help me… I don’t give a fuck what the PR fallout is.”

She inhaled and turned to look out the window. Finally, she turned back. “How’d know where to find me?”

Shit, I didn’t want to confess this part. I rubbed the bridge of my nose with my thumb and forefinger. “I was hoping to have some private time with you.” Was I any better than JC in hoping to get lucky with Katie too?

“I’m glad you did.”

I shrugged, feeling like a douche.

We got to Katie’s apartment, and I let the driver go. We hadn’t discussed me staying the night, but I was going to even if I had to sleep on the couch. I didn’t put it past JC to show up and I was going to be here if he did.

Inside her condo, I took my jacket off and tossed it on the back of a chair.

“I know you don’t want to hear this, but Ryder, you do need to check yourself when you get angry in public.”

I shook my head. “He was assaulting you. What was I supposed to do?”

“You did everything right until you choked him and then tossed him down. He could have been seriously hurt when he hit his head.”

Was she defending this guy while lecturing me on appropriate behavior? “Why do you give a fuck about JC?”

“I don’t. I give a fuck about you. He’s not worth you going one step too far and ending up in jail.”

I rolled my shoulders, trying to keep the tension from getting tighter.

“Is this how all your brawls start?”

“There are assholes in the world, Katie, and I’m big enough to intervene.
