Chapter Nineteen

RIVER

It had only been one day since I was without RJ in my arms, and it felt like forever. If she had just stopped and let me explain, we would have had all this resolved last night. For such a gorgeous woman, she sure as heck doesn’t know the magnitude of the power she has over the male population; over me. I listen to her sniffling as we kneel on the floor holding each other.

“River . . .”

“Hum,” I answer, as I continue holding her.

“Back at the club, how did you know how to fight like that? I mean you didn’t even sweat back there. You went all Jet Li on their asses, so what gives?” She pushes out of my arms to rest on her heels as she analyzes me.

“I have training in mixed martial arts. It started out as a hobby and then it quickly turned into something I loved. So yes I can defend myself.”

“Shit, with all of those you can defend me and the whole damn community if needed.”

“Well, you’re correct about the defending you part.”

“River, when I saw you, I don’t know what I thought. Then I saw you take down those two guys, and I was so terrified—terrified that they were going to hurt you. After they went down and the other two came out, I almost peed myself. If I wasn’t happy about anything in my life, I was extremely happy that you knew how to defend yourself against those assholes. Thank you, because if you weren’t there I don’t know what would have happened to me. I was stupid to leave—”

“No, stop that. You weren’t thinking. That’s all it was. And when it comes to you, I’ll do everything in my power to protect you. Always.”

She rests her head on my chest as she holds onto me like she can’t bear the thought of letting go.

“It’s late. Let’s get you to bed.” I get up, lift her into to my arms, and head towards her bedroom.

“Don’t leave. Stay with me.” She looks up at me.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

“Okay let’s hit the shower and then bed.” I let her down out of my arms and she immediately begins stripping off her clothes.

“You want to take a shower at this time of morning?”

“Yep, after all, that dancing and fighting, we need to wash the sweat off our bodies.”

“I like it when we sweat.”

She slaps me on the chest. “Take your mind out of the gutter because the only thing happening tonight is sleep mister.”

“Then I’m okay on that front because technically it’s morning.”

“I’m too tired to deal with your sexphoria side tonight. So shower and bed it is.”

“Fine. As long as I get to hold you in my arms, I’ll take it.”

Once showered, we go to bed. RJ is out in no time, and I fall asleep a short while later with her lightly snoring on my chest and her hand splayed across my stomach. I don’t ever want to lose her.

***

I’ve spent the last few days with RJ over at her apartment.
