Free Raine on Me by Laurann Dohner

hugged her tightly, and planted a passionate kiss on her upturned lips. Brit gaped at their open affection as the guy’s hands gripped his wife’s ass and helped her lock her legs higher around his waist. He started to walk, still kissing her, and caressing her backside. They left the kitchen, out of sight.
    Ryder turned his head to grin at his brother. “Get used to it and turn on your stereo when you go to bed.” He chuckled. “I don’t know what the hell they are doing to each other at night but it can get really loud.”
    River chuckled, his gaze fixing on Brit. “I like loud women. The louder the better.”
    She fumed, glaring at him. “Dream on, asshole.”
    “Um,” River licked his lips. “I had a dream—”
    “Shut up.” She grabbed her fork and stabbed her eggs. “I mean it.”
    Ryder glanced at them and then surprise paled his features. “Shit. You two? Last night?”
    “No!” Brit’s blushed hotly.
    River chuckled. “Couple days ago. Meet my physical therapist. She’s good with her hands.”
    Embarrassment flooded Brit as she stared in anguish at River for telling that to his brother. He’d just admitted they’d had sex. Tears filled her eyes, which she blinked back hard then she stood, her fork clattering to the table. She ran from the kitchen.
    She made it halfway up the stairs on her way to get her things when a strong arm wrapped around her waist and jerked her back into a hard body. A hand braced on the railing to keep both of them upright. She jerked her head around to look over her shoulder at River.
    “Don’t fight me on the stairs.” He frowned. “What is wrong with you?”
    “You told him.”
    The frown on his face deepened. “So what? He’s my brother and I tell him
    everything. We’re identical twins, closer than most brothers, and he figured it out anyway since he knows me too well.”
    More tears filled her eyes but she blinked them back. River saw them though, his stunned gaze widened and then narrowed.
    “Your family is friends with Dale. He’s my boss and he’s going to be furious if he finds out I slept with you on the job.”
    “So what? If you think Dale is a saint, think again. He grew up on the rodeo circuit.
    I could tell you tales that would shock the shit out of you about that man, including the 4fact that he blew a lot of his money on whores and some of the biggest sluts ever born.
    He liked his women fast, loose, and easy. If you think he’s going to get his ass bent out of shape because you nailed me, you’re wrong. He’s the last person to ever judge anyone else when it comes to having sex.”
    “You don’t understand,” she lowered her voice. “He’s the only one who gave me a chance after he found out about my past. No one would hire me but he did. He always tells us to never screw with the patients. He’s going to fire me if he finds out and I won’t be able to get another job. I can’t take care of myself if I can’t pay the rent or have enough money to even eat. I don’t want to live in my car.”
    The grip on her waist eased as River released the stair railing but he refused to let her go. His hand slid to her hip, urging her to turn around. She hesitated and then moved to face him. With her standing a step up from him they were almost eye level as they stared into each other’s eyes.
    “Why wouldn’t anyone hire you?”
    She shook her head. “I’m not going to talk about that.”
    He frowned. “Are you an ex-con? Did you get into some trouble once? That’s okay, you know. Everyone makes mistakes. Dale isn’t going to fire you over this. Trust me. If he ever finds out I nailed you, he’ll totally blame me for it. He’ll believe I seduced you and he’d be right.”
    “I’ve never been to prison.” She swallowed, careful of her wording to remain truthful. Prison and jail were two totally different things, technically. “I’m not an ex-con and you didn’t sign a work contract that states you’ll be fired if you sleep
