“Get her, baby!” Logan cheered, so I guessed the girl had said something mean to warrant the beating.

We stood back as the girls fought, and I gave another girl close by a dirty look as she stepped forward to help her friend. She scowled but stopped, not risking it.

I didn’t want to go back to jail tonight, but I would if these bitches ganged up on my girl.

“Punch her in the cunt!” Logan kept shouting, making me chuckle.

The girl slapped Raven’s cheek, and Raven slammed her elbow down on the girl’s nose without hesitation, blood pouring out a second later.

Still, the girls kept throwing fists until the Fern girl was knocked out cold, but Raven kept punching her, lost in her anger.

My eyes lifted to Ander’s at the same time he looked at me, knowing we had to step in before she killed the girl. She’d gone through a lot lately, so the fact that she’d snapped wasn’t a shock to any of us, but I didn’t want her dragged away for murder either.

Ander gave me a nod, both of us stepping forward and grabbing an arm each to pull her back, and I was starting to worry that she’d already fucking killed her from the mangled mess she’d made.

Then, the girl choked and spit up blood, relief hitting me.

Her friends rushed forward to help her, and we kept dragging Raven away as she continued to fight us, Logan and Reid following.

“Baby, stop,” I grunted as she kicked me in the shin, only fighting harder.

“Do I choke her out?” Ander asked seriously, but Logan shook his head and moved closer, not caring about his safety as he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.

The fighting slowed, her breathing coming in hard and fast as she snapped out of it, and we released her as her arms went limp, letting Logan hold her up as he murmured quietly to her.

“She’s strong for a twig,” Ander muttered under his breath. “Cut back on her protein.”

I would’ve laughed if it was any other situation.

Reid had snagged her bag from the ground where she’d dropped it in the heat of the fight, and we managed to get her out to the cars, encouraging her to get into the back of the Challenger with Logan.

“I don’t think that was enough stress relief for her,” Reid said quietly as we shut the door, reaching into my pocket to take his keys. “You go with Lavaro. No one’s alone, okay? Buddy system.”

I wasn’t going to argue with that, and I didn’t really want to touch the steering wheel and gear stick with blood all over my hands, so I just nodded and let him go with Logan and Raven.

We climbed into the Supra, letting them go first so we could follow.

“I don’t care what it takes, but if we have to fuck her senseless until she’s crying, do it,” Ander said once we were alone, making me frown.

“I think that’s the last thing she needs.”

“She needs to let it out. The anger, the fear, and devastation. One at a time, gangbang, I don’t care, but make her come so much she can’t think of anything else.”

“She just needs a hot shower and someone to make her a hot chocolate.”

“Both of you need a shower,” he corrected, glancing at me in the dim car. “We’ll make her something to eat and a drink if you can help her wind down.”

“And if she doesn’t feel like fucking her mood away?” I asked dryly.

“She will.”

Raven

My whole body was shaking slightly to the point that my teeth were chattering. I could smell the blood all over me, and I’d barely heard a thing the guys had said the whole drive home.

I was practically on Logan’s lap, his fingers toying with my hair in a way that usually calmed me, but I was too wired.

The light outside was completely gone, the steady roar of the engine being the only thing I could focus on. I couldn’t tell if I was having a major adrenaline crash, or if I was ready for another fight.
