River and Jayne had started to stop hating each other which lead into them becoming friends, who new a trained assassin genius and mercenary had things in were partners with a weird sense of flirting, killing someone was their favorite thing to do other than going out to buy ammo. Here they were on Persephone and Mal giving Jayne time alone.

Jayne you got five hours before the job and you better be on time" "i know Mal."

So why after five hours of ruttin' wasn't Jayne satisfied. He left angrier than when he came?

A job had finally gone right for a change and no one had gotten shot not even Mal. So the captain decided to take the crew out a cheap bar but jayne wasn't complaining free booze. Kayleey found a booth with Simon, Mal had already started ordering rounds while Inara and Kayleey got fruity drinks,and the rest of the crew even River drank what the captain ordered. After everybody got good and buzzed River left the table and went over to the dance floor. River was good and the men started to notice even Jayne and when a tall good-looking guy asked River for a dance Jayne thought it was hilarious to get to watch River turn the kid down. It felt worse when Jayne saw that she had actually accepted the offer, he didn't know why but he was pissed. All of the crew had parted Wash and Zoe left back to the ship Mal and Inara went on a walk and Simon and Kayleey finally had that date they wanted. So that left Jayne watching a dirty ass pansy dancing with this hot little piece of ass,wait scratch that what are you thinking thats River. Then he finally able to breath when the dancing stopped and she walked over to sit down. She sat next to him in the booth and took his shot that was on the table then ordered two more.
how's your new boyfriend?
he's not-
you two were practically having sex on the dance floor, you shouldn't do things like that they might get the wrong impression.
Jayne if I want to have intercouse then i will you and your comments have never stopped me before.
that was it he was beyond pissed something in him broke no one was to touch the girl she was his, no she wasn't but it felt like it. He was so confused and then she was moving to get up and next thing Janye knows his hand is holding her down rubbing her thigh. He doesn't know what todo so he looks ahead and he can see out the corner of his eye she looks at him. He just keeps looking ahead and asks how the music is. He can't stop now he doesn't want to and he's harder than a rock and when she touches him he thinks he might burst. She leaned into his ear and whispered I'm not yours but he wanted her to be his he wanted to mark her make her his. But then that stupid kid comes back to ask her to dance again and she leaves with him. Jayne wanted to kill that kid but the look river gave him
just left him dumbfounded. He was angry, hard, and alone.
