Chapter Eleven

Lissa took Legacy to the police station first thing the next morning to file a report, but they were politely informed this Casey guy hadn’t tried to rape her, and it’d be her word against his. Of course they intended on following up with him to get his side of things, but she got the feeling nothing would come of it.

When they got back home, River’s car was in the driveway. Before she could even open the door to get out of Lissa’s SUV, River was at her door, opening it.

“Good morning,” she said, looking at him

“Hey,” he murmured as he took her hand to help her out.

He wrapped his arms around her and guided her into the house like he had last night at Calli’s. He walked her over to the couch and sat beside her.

River’s behavior during and after the basketball game last night had her believing he had heard this guy come onto her, but they hadn’t had a chance to talk about that—until now.

“Did you, er, hear that guy talk to me last night before the game?”

He groaned, looking away. “No.”

“Then how did you know he came onto me? You obviously heard something. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have elbowed and cursed at him during the game, and you wouldn’t have been protective of me afterward.”

River wrapped an arm around her waist and lifted his other arm, rubbing his hand on his forehead and shaking his head. “I didn’t hear him,” he said slowly. Then his eyes flashed over to hers. “And I would’ve been protective of you regardless.”

He wasn’t making any sense. “If you didn’t know what he—”

“I didn’t say I didn’t know. I said I didn’t hear him,” he said slowly.

She frowned while she contemplated this. He hadn’t heard that guy, but he knew what he’d said. That was impossible. Unless, unless River could hear people’s thoughts. Her eyes flashed to his, and her concern suddenly shifted. If River could read thoughts, then he’d known all along what she was up to.

His eyes got really big. “You’re worried about something. What are you worried about?”

If he could read thoughts, then he should know why she was freaking out. She’d been scheming against him for weeks. If he could read her thoughts, then that’d mean he knew everything. If he could read thoughts, then he’d been playing her all along, and he was still playing her by acting like he didn’t know what she was thinking right now.

“How did you know?” she asked slowly.

“His energy,” River said as if that were obvious.

“You mean you could feel his energy?” She didn’t know why she didn’t think of this before. She knew he could feel her energy. It only made sense that he could feel other people’s energies too. At least he didn’t say he was a mind reader, thank gods.

“No. Well, not when he was talking to you. But people’s energies radiate around themselves. I guess it’s like an aura. I can see it if I want to.
