FIRE (Elite Forces #2)(21)







CHAPTER TEN


KALEB


“Hey, handsome.” My sexy, blond beauty walks in with some real food. I’ve been drugged up and recuperating for a little over two weeks now in this hospital. The food sucks, and my ass is killing me from lying in this stiff bed. My muscles ache from not working out, and my cock aches even more from not getting its own workout. Especially now, when I take a good look at her gorgeous smile.

“Jesus, Jade.” I snatch the bag out of her hand. The whiff of cheeseburger assaults my nose, making my stomach cry out.

“I’m sorry I’m late. I told you I had to stop at the hotel the guys are staying at to shower and change.” Her hands go to her hips. My hands should be on those hips while I’m slamming into her sweet * from behind.

“I’m talking about the way you look.” Taking a big bite of my juicy burger, I look down her body before allowing my eyes to move back up. This damn burger has to be the second best thing I’ve tasted in my life. She looks down at her jean shorts, and I see why they call them shorts. They leave nothing to the imagination at all.

“You're sexually frustrated and an *. Eat that damn thing before the doctor and the guys get here so we can go home.” Her fine ass walks to the other side of the room. She picks up my clothes along with an American flag before she starts packing them all into a bag. I found out a few days after arriving here that my brother and his f*ckhead followers laid our country’s flag down at my feet and pissed on it.

Ty has not only become a traitor to our country, but he placed the flag, the one item we pledge our American freedom to, in the dirt and defiled it. He should die for that alone.

I finish my burger, crumpling up the paper loudly to drag her attention back to me.

Her head snaps around. She’s so f*cking beautiful.

“I know you, baby. You going to stand over there and tell me you don’t want my cock?” I lift my brows, knowing damn well she’s as frustrated as I am. We’ve both discussed this over the course of the last week, while I faded in and out from the pain medicine I finally caved into letting the doctors give me that first day I woke up. My skin burned so damn bad, I felt like they were beating me all over again. Yet I still pissed and moaned about f*cking her mouth, her *, her ass. I may have been drugged up, but I’m not blind. I saw the way she squirmed in the chair and crossed her legs over one another. She wants it.

“I’ve been taking care of myself,” she taunts.

Before I can tell her that no one, not even she, should be touching her body in any goddamn way unless I’m watching her, the doctor walks in. Followed by Kase, Pierce, and Jackson. The others went home. Not everyone needs to sit here all day, watching me sleep, doing absolutely nothing. We still haven’t watched the footage. I asked them to wait until I could get the hell out of here.

I have no idea if Ty is alive or not. Which is partially why the others went home. I wanted extra security for my mom and sister. I’m not taking his threats lightly, not when it comes to two of the three women who mean more to me than my own damn life. They’ve both had security on them for years. It goes with my job, but now it’s tripled.

One of the guys I served two tours with owns a security firm in Atlanta. I need to call him to thank him for helping me out. He sent a crew to watch my mom’s house and another one to watch my sister during the day while she works. Hell, I was too weak to even hold a phone when that call needed to be made a few weeks ago. I owe Kase for taking care of that for me without me even needing to ask. Hell, he’s stepped up to the plate big time. He even took it upon himself to stock my fridge at the compound with food for when we get home today. Fucking perfect because I plan to eat like a beast until I’m back to normal. My body is withering away with this bullshit food in here.

I haven’t talked to my mom or sister yet. As far as they know, I’m off doing my job. The first thing I’m gonna do when I get home is talk to them. I may be a grown man, but we all need to hear the sound of our mom’s voice every now and then.

“You ready to get your ass out of here, brother?” Kase asks when he steps to the side of the bed, bringing me out of my mind.

“He can leave whenever he wants.” My doctor, who I still want to punch, speaks with authority. His eyes are trained on Jade’s ass. Hello, f*cker. Your patient is over here. I’ll make sure she gets what she needs.

“Great, then. Take care of yourself. Make sure you set that appointment up with your doctor back home, Mr. Maverick.”

“Will do.” I swing my legs around before he finishes speaking. I’ve been dressed and ready to go since they told me this morning I’d be able to get the hell out of here.

I grab Jade’s hand, while Jackson tugs my bag from around her shoulder. I’d sure as f*ck like to say I walked out of this place, but hell, no. In strides Jackson’s sexy little nurse walks in. He’s spent a shit ton of time with her the past few days and now she’s pushing a goddamn wheelchair to haul my ass out of here.

“I’ll call you when we land.” Jackson places a kiss on the top of his latest victim to the ‘action team.’ I mock him in my head. He’s so full of shit. He won’t call her. She was his distraction for the week he stayed down here. He knew he’d never see her again after we left. I know him. It’s what he does. That’s the only reason why he spent so much time with her. He says it just isn’t the same after you’ve hit it a few times. Claims he likes variety.
