He looks vaguely ill. “It’s clean.”

“Oh, Raider, I think you might want to run,” I warn him.

He swallows hard but shakes his head as I untie Ryann. She spits as soon as the jockstrap is out of her mouth. I undo the clothing and free her.

She springs past me, kicking his legs out from under him and grabbing his finger in a hold that has him shrieking in agony while she rolls him onto his stomach.

“What the hell did you think you were doing?”

“I don’t need you to save me!” Raider shouts. “You just stay in your wig and stay out of my business!”

Ryann snarls. “If I want to help you, that’s my business.”

I feel like I’m watching some weird sex ritual.

Raider breaks free of her, and, suddenly, she’s laying on the bench with him kneeling over her.

“Don’t help me.”

Her eyes flicker with something that confuses me. “Make me.”

He growls at her, and it melts my brain.

She just smiles.

Fuck it, these two are crazy. I leave them to it.

On the way to my car, I check my messages and see one from a familiar number.

“Fuck off.”

I delete it and keep walking. This whole day can go to hell.

Chapter ten

Ryann

Raider kept contact withme the whole way home, the simmering tension between us crackles. I want him.

I think he wants me, too.

I’m hyper aware of my movements, of the way he feels under me. His arm wrapped around my waist, anchoring me to him. Those thick thighs I’m sitting on, making me acutely aware of how aroused I am.

“Raider, are you okay?”

He just grunts.

Clearly, he’s not okay, we can all see that. For some reason, he’s fixating on me. Which I’m not entirely averse to. I keep remembering those scorching moments we had together before we ended up in the situation we’re in.

Why does he keep tying me up?

Why did it turn me on so damn much?

I’m sick, clearly. This guy kidnapped me. He’s not to be trusted.

We pull up into the garage and pile out of the truck. Wren and Kit are in the one behind us. Raider keeps my hand in a vice as he turns and watches Wren pull up.

Callan spits out a curse. “I think they fucked up Kit’s order. Where did all these boxes come from?”
