River's Run(19)

Torak heard a peal of laughter from Jo and Star as River did a graceful flip landing on her back in the netting to bounce up and do a front flip before landing on her feet. River walked laughing over to the edge of the netting laying down and doing another flip only to land in Torak’s arms.



Surprised, River sucked in a breath, “Hey.”



Jo and Star skipped over to River flushed from their work out laughing with delight. “Oh River, you were great! You hit every target right in the circle!” Jo said excitedly.



Jo looked around when she heard Star give a startled squeak. Before she knew it she was staring into Manota’s angry eyes.



River glanced down into Torak’s eyes realizing he was holding back his own anger. “What’s wrong?” She asked nervously. She didn’t know why the brothers’ looked so angry.



“Do you three have a death wish?” Torak gritted out through clinched teeth staring up into River’s deep, blue eyes. He was still shaking from fear watching her flying through the air like that.



“Of course not. We knew what we were doing, didn’t we?” River looked for guidance from Jo and Star. This is precisely why she avoided the opposite sex. She really didn’t understand them at all.



Jo and Star started to say something only to be cut off by the men holding them. Torak looked at his brothers. They needed to divide the females. They got into too much trouble when they were together.



“Take them.” Torak said harshly tightening his grip on River when she began struggling.



“Take them?” River squeaked looking at Torak in growing anger. “Take them where? Where are you taking them? You can’t. You promised to help us get home. What are you going to do? Jo? Star?” River called as she watched the other two men carry the struggling sisters out of the training room.



Zoran came over to where Torak was holding River. He looked decidedly paler than he had when the girls had first appeared in the training room. “My Lord, what should we do with the knives the female threw?”



Torak looked at Zoran in disbelief, “Whatever you do, do NOT give them back to her.” Torak said before he tossed River over his shoulder hoping she didn’t have any more knives hidden on her body.



River gave a startled yell, which quickly turned to a surprised humph, as she was flung over Torak’s shoulder. Surprise more than anything held her in place as he moved through the line of warriors who stood looking at River’s curvy ass.



Pushing herself up as he walked through the door, River yelled out behind her, “You take care of my knives! I want them back!”



Torak brought his hand down across River’s ass causing her to squeak in protest at the sharp sting. He had had enough of this female thinking she was a warrior. He was ready to tie her up to his bed after he stripped her naked to make sure she didn’t have any more knives on her. He had never seen another warrior with as many weapons on their body as this female carried! The only way to make sure she didn’t have any was to remove all her clothing so she wouldn’t have any place to hide one. He shuddered as his body reacted to the thought of River tied naked to his bed. He would not wait for the council’s decision. He would claim her before they reached Kassis, he decided.



River laid draped over Torak’s shoulder looking around as they moved down the passageway. She raised her hands palm’s out to the warriors they passed as if to say “beats the hell out of me what his problem is.” The warriors just stared as they passed. Torak was never so glad to get into the closed confines of the lift as he was as the doors closed. Lowering River to the floor he turned her around before she could say anything and wrapped his arms around her pinning hers to her side.



River looked up at Torak’s tight features deciding it might be wiser to just remain silent. She didn’t know what he was so angry about. She also couldn’t help but wonder where he was taking her. She noticed he had said a different level than the level her, Jo, and Star’s room was on. River relaxed back into Torak’s warm embrace resting the back of her head on his broad chest. She felt relaxed after her work out pleased with how well it had gone. The three girls hadn’t performed together in almost two years so it felt good to know they could still do it. She had tried out some of her newer moves after Jo and Star had dropped down. She had told them what to do with the small pieces of wood-like material she had found. Closing her eyes, she snuggled a little closer to Torak’s body as the slight chill in the air cooled her heated body. River let her mind wonder back to some of the different moves she would like to try. She had no idea as she snuggled closer Torak was thinking of some moves of his own.
