Don't Forget Me Tomorrow (Time River, #2)

by A.L. Jackson

Tension suddenly barreled into me from behind. Tacky and tight. The air thinned. The only sound the quiet volume of Kayden’s show from across the room and the thud of my heart that pounded in my ears. I felt like I could hardly move as I slowly shifted around. Ryder stood five feet away, all menacing glowers and huffing like a bull. “I don’t like it, Dakota.” “I don’t like it, either. Some people suck, but there’s not a whole lot we can do about that other than let Ezra do his job.” Ryder stepped forward. “There is plenty I could do about it.” Barely contained fury slipped from his tongue. I shook my head. “Don’t be an idiot, Ryder. Ezra has this handled, and the last thing I need is you getting involved in something that doesn’t even concern you.” He slowly approached, closing the distance until there was no space left between us. “Doesn’t concern me? Believe me, Cookie…” His words scraped, low and gruff. Edged with a razor. “It absolutely concerns me.”
