Adam (The Protectors #5)(53)

“Oh, my God!” she sighed, clamping her eyes shut.

“Angel?” Adam slowly pulled out of her, thinking he hurt her. “Angel?” His voice rose as he rolled off her.

Turning her head, she opened her eyes. “Can we do it again?” A grin spread across her face. “That was amazing.”

This time, Adam snapped his eyes closed, flopping back on the bed. “Jesus. I thought I hurt you.”

Angelina leaned up looking down at him. “I’m not fragile, Adam.” Angelina ran her hand down his chest, over his nipple. “I can take whatever you dish out. Of course, if that’s all you got, then…”

Adam’s eyes popped open to see the teasing glint in Angelina’s eyes. With lightning speed, he had her on her back again. “Oh, babe, that isn’t even close to all I’ve got.”

Angelina laughed, but her smile faded slightly. “I love you, Adam. I’ve always loved you.”

“And I’m the luckiest son-of-a-bitch to have you.” Adam kissed the side of her neck. “And I love you more than you know. Now for round two.”

“Finally.” Angelina rolled her eyes.

“Oh, really?” Adam tickled her, but stopped when she grabbed him tightly with enough pressure to make him hiss in pleasure.

“Yeah really,” she whispered, the teasing gone.

God, he had been a fool. How could he have failed to fight for his Angel? He made a promise to himself; he’d spend his life fighting for this woman, and no one had better stand between them…ever.

Before he could lean down to take her mouth, someone pounded on the door making Angelina yelp and Adam cuss a blue streak.

“What!” he growled loudly, covering Angelina with the sheet.

“Sloan wants everyone in the game room now,” Steve shouted through the door.

“Dammit,” Adam sighed, rubbing his face. “We’re getting our own place.”

Laughing, Angelina climbed out of bed pulling on her clothes. “Does that happen a lot?” She nodded to the door.

“Yep.” Adam pulled on his jeans carefully because he was still wanting Angelina in a big way.

“You having a problem there?” she teased seductively, watching him carefully tuck himself away.

Grabbing a t-shirt, he pulled it on and down over his obvious hard-on. Pulling her toward him, he kissed her hard while running his hand over her breasts and down between her legs, driving her crazy. He then pulled away suddenly.

“The same problem you’re having.” He winked and then pulled away, but steadied her when she wobbled. Once she gained her balance, he laughed.

“That wasn’t very nice.” She glared at him and he knew she was trying not to smile.

“No, it wasn’t, but it was fun.” He took her hand in his, and then opened the door.

Steve stood, leaning against the wall looking at his phone. “Hey, Angelina.” He smiled then led the way down the hall.

“Hey, Steve.” She smiled back at him, a flush coloring her cheeks.

“Glad I knocked,” Steve whispered, tossing him a knowing wink.

“So am I.” Adam winked back, but without the grin. “Today is too great of a day to be killing someone.”

“Duly noted.” Steve nodded, looking relieved which made Adam smile. Damn, he was one lucky bastard.

Chapter 20

Adam slowed once they made it to the games room. Everyone was there. Instinctively, he knew this wasn’t good. Sloan stood to the side. His face, usually emotionless, was a mask of fury. Pulling Angelina beside him, he stopped next to Jill.

“What’s going on?” he whispered toward her, his eyes on the Warriors who looked ready; he just was not quite sure ready for what exactly. Everyone stood around looking on edge. The women were whispering together nervously while the Warriors stood with no expressions whatsoever, which was never a good thing. No emotion meant shit was about to get real.

“You know as much as I do,” she responded, also searching the Warriors for a clue. “Slade got a phone call and we took off.”

Sloan pinned each and every person in the room with narrowed eyes as if silently counting. “I sent Jax to the Mayor’s office to see if he could get information about this bullshit he’s trying to pull.” Sloan pinched the bridge of his nose. “It looks like that bullshit has become reality. Jax is waiting for us.”

Sloan tossed Damon a set of keys as the rest of the Warriors kissed their mates. Adam looked down at Angelina, who squeezed his hand before letting go.

“The women will go with Damon and the rest of us will ride.” Sloan ordered before heading toward the door.

“Ride what?” Steve whispered to Adam, who just shrugged.

“The women?” Jared stopped in midstride glancing back at Sloan, who had just made it to the door.

“That’s what I said.” Sloan looked around. “Is there a problem with that?”

“Yeah, there is,” Duncan spoke up. “I’m not taking my son or mate into something I don’t know anything about.”

“I agree with Duncan.” Jared nodded, and then looked at Sid and Damon who were also nodding with agreement.

Sloan sighed. “I didn’t want to alarm anyone until I saw it with my own eyes, but Jax is waiting for us at the location they are taking and keeping half-breeds.”
