Ice (Elite Forces #1)(23)
I hold her against me with the only purpose of consoling her. I want her to know I'm not just after her for a great f*ck, because shit if it isn't the best with her. She's beautiful, and right now she's broken. It's my job to make sure she's able to put the pieces back together.
I need to take her back to my compound in Missouri. She can work with me there to put this behind her and ensure she won't let it hinder her reaction time in the future.
Her skin is soft, but I'm not feeling that. Her ass is against my cock, but I'm not feeling that, either. She's curled into my arms for a while before I feel her relax. Her breaths slow, and I know she's asleep in my arms. This is exactly what I've been dying to feel. I love every moment she's able to be with me like this. I only wish it wasn’t under her duress. The anguish she’s holding in is f*cking killing me.
The door rattles and the nurse begins to knock obsessively. I'm left with only one option. I have to get up and open the door. Jade doesn't turn to me, nor does she wake when I get up to open it, and she keeps her back to me once I sit back down.
“Looks like the bird will be here in the morning to move your team, Commander. It's been a pleasure treating your crew.” She moves over Jade, who has woken up, her eyes sleep-deprived even though she’s been out for a day. She begins checking her once again, then stands at attention, waiting for my final dismissal. We’re going home. It hasn't been long for me, but it's still a great feeling coming off of a mission like that.
It's time to return to the land of the free and this time, I'm going home with someone I look forward to spending time with. One mission down, now it's time to successfully complete the mission where I make her mine. She has no idea how hard I've fallen for her. Hell, I thought I had it bad before I hit that desert? but now that I've had her in my arms and around my dick, there's no chance I won’t go all in to try to make her mine. I want her to crave me and to beg for me to touch her like I do when I'm near her. I want to consume her like she does me.
She needs to live a little. There’s so much more to life than she realizes. I desperately want to hear her laugh, to see her eyes light up from the simplest touch. To have her kiss me hungrily, to ravage every part of her body, not f*ck her, but love her. I’m going to break her shell she has herself cocooned in and crack that f*cker wide open. There’s beauty inside there, and it’s all mine to explore.

“I can walk, you guys. Good lord!” Jade yells, and I mean yells, at Harris and JJ when they try to help her out of the back of the car when we arrive at the airport. Jesus Christ, this is bound to be a long ass flight, especially if these *s don’t keep their hands off of her.
“Quit being a bitch,” Harris snaps. I know the two of them are close, but f*ck him. Calling her a bitch in front of me is taking it a bit far. Joking or not, that shit doesn’t sit well with me.
“That’s enough. Jade, get your ass out of the car and into the airport. Now.” I point my finger toward the shiny revolving doors.
“Yes, Sir.” Christ almighty, the way she says that. Her defying gaze has my cock twitching. Like I said, this is going to be a long ass flight.
She climbs out of the car, her ass plastered in the sexiest f*cking pair of jeans with rhinestones on the back. My cock isn’t twitching anymore. He’s gone straight to trying to sniff his way out of my jeans. And that shirt, it’s a plain V-neck, but holy hell, does she make it look good stretched across those perfectly crafted tits. I am so f*cked.
She walks around all three of us, snatches her bag out of the trunk, and with her ass swaying takes off walking away from us. Fuck me.
“You hungry?” I sneak up behind her after we’ve cleared security.
“No. I could use some water, though, to take one of these pain pills.” She smiles even though I know it’s fake. I need to pull her off to the side and ask her what the hell her problem is, but first I need to get rid of these two.
“I’m going to grab something to eat. I’ll get the water and some food for you, Jade. If you don’t f*cking eat it, then I’ll turn you over my knee and gladly spank that tight ass. Nice jeans by the way.” Harris isn't tactful with his shit way of expressing how much he wants her. He’s damn sure got another thing coming if he thinks he’s going to get anywhere near her ass. She walks away, glaring at me without a word. She knows damn well I’m not going to say a word. Yet anyway.
Harris lifts his brows at her in a way I don’t like at all. Those two little slits he sees out of are half hanging out of his damn head, stuck right on her ass, and I pull back from attacking him right here in front of everyone... Motherf*cker. He has no chance in hell against me. She won’t even consider him after I’m finished with her. I feel my hands clenching into tight fists at my sides. This f*cker is pushing my limits, and I’m about to knock him straight on his ass. I just need time with her by myself, in my own environment. I want to treat her like the woman I know she is and deserves to be.
“It’s a long flight, I’ll go with you. Commander, what would you like?” Now if Harris would be more like this polite kid and not send those f*cking sexual innuendos around like he can’t wait to try to get into those sexy panties I saw her shimmy into back at the hospital this morning, then I might like the dude.
