God, that lack of fear. It's written all over her face.

Her face is red and flushed, probably from the effort of destroying my car.

I have to admit, for someone her size, managing to do that much damage is fucking impressive.

I’m impressed but I’m fucking pissed off, and not amused at all.

“Oh, troublemaker.” I slowly shake my head. “You shouldn't have done that.

My voice is low, a growl rumbling through my chest.

I don't wait for her to answer.

I bend down, hook an arm around her legs, and throw her over my shoulder like a spare tire.

The steel bar clatters onto the asphalt.

She yelps. It's my favorite sound from her, for now.

I can't wait to hear her scream and beg for her life.

Ignoring the looks my gang is giving me, I walk over to Neo and extend my free hand, palm up, while the other keeps her securely pinned across my shoulder.

The heat of her body against me, her perfume. It's just more fucking fuel.

I don't say a word.

Neo understands immediately and drops his car keys into my hand.

“Put me down, you fucking psycho!” Riven screams, pounding on my back and twisting wildly, trying to break free like she did last time.

I only tighten my grip, hauling her higher onto my shoulder.

“No.” One final word, leaving no room for argument.

She wanted to play.

Well, now we're going to fucking play.

She keeps thrashing, cursing, trying to throw me off balance, but I ignore her and head toward Neo's car—a black-and-green Chevrolet Camaro SS, customized to match his hair and modified for brutal acceleration.

I unlock the passenger door and dump her into the seat without an ounce of care.

Before she can bolt, I grab a fistful of her hair, holding her in place while I lean inside and buckle her in.

Once I'm sure she's trapped against the seat, I straighten and slam the door shut before she can mouth off again.

“Stay.”

I walk around the hood, I can still hear her shouting insults through the glass.

When I glance over, she's flipping me off.

I scoff.

The doors lock from the outside, I make sure they are. She's not escaping me or the consequences. Not this time.

Fuck no.
