Bound to Be Taken [Rock Wood Pack 2] (Siren Publishing Classic) (6 page)

“Why? Why waste your time with me?”

“I told you last night.” He walked over to the bleachers and grabbed the clothes he’d picked out for her. “You’re mine.” Cade threw the pair of shorts and shirt at her. “Get dressed. We’ve got some training to do.”

Titania caught them. “I don’t wear this.”

“You do now.”

She turned to leave.

“No, you’ll do it here in front of me.”

“I don’t want you to see me naked.”

“Last night I had my fingers against your pussy. You’re the only one in the back bothered by nakedness. I’m not letting you leave this room.”

“Fine,” she said, throwing the clothes to the floor. He watched as she wriggled out of the denim skirt she wore. The fabric glided down to the floor revealing thick, round thighs. His cock thickened at the sight. All he saw was those thighs wrapped around his waist last night. Moving his gaze up her body he saw another pair of white panties covering her mound. Her dark pubic hair was trapped behind the horrid panties she wore. Didn’t she have a sexy pair of panties?

“A gentleman would look away.”

“I’m a wolf, baby. I’m no gentleman.”

She reached down to grab the shorts. Titania lifted one foot and then the other stepping into the shorts. He’d picked the right size out because he checked the size of the skirt he removed from her body the night before.

The fabric molded to her skin and showcased her legs. His mouth watered for a taste of her juicy pussy.

Next the shirt came off and she quickly replaced it with the shorter, tighter training shirt he’d given her. Titania’s tits were large and the shirt highlighted their thickness. God, he couldn’t wait to get his hands on her body. Training with her gave him an excuse to touch her. Cade would have to hold off on touching her more intimately until she gave into him.

“There, I’m done,” she said. He watched her pull the hem of the shirt down, trying to cover her body. “These are too short. You got the wrong size.”

“No, I didn’t. You wear clothes at least a size too big. These are perfect. Come here.”

She hesitated at his command. Cade waited, not wanting to frighten her. There were still mixed emotions coming from Titania and one of those emotions was fear. She took a step into the room. Titania didn’t wear any footwear and her movements were slow across the safety mats put in place.

Titania stopped a foot in front of him. She folded her arms once again and stared at him.

“I’m here,” she said.

“Turn around and look the other way.” She gave him her back. He stalked behind her, lifted her arms behind her neck, and held on tight. “Break free of my arms.” Titania struggled. She wriggled against him. Her ass rubbed his cock, making it jump in his pants. She didn’t seem to notice her effect on him.

Closing down the desire to take her on the mats, Cade held onto her wrists. Locking them behind her head with one hand he used the other to run his fingertips down her arm.

She didn’t stop and kept trying to fight him. “This isn’t fair,” she said. “You’re a lot stronger than I am.”

“Do you really think rogues will ask their weaker members to fight you? There will be no choices and no free reign either. When you’re fighting an opponent you have to learn the skills to win.”

Titania relaxed in his arms. “What’s the point? I’m not strong enough to win. I can’t even stop you.”

Cade had heard enough of her defeatist attitude. Dropping his hands, he spun her around to face him. “It doesn’t matter about strength, Titania. All you need to learn are a few tricks that will put you ahead of your opponent. Strength is not everything, it helps but so does cunning and desperation.”

He caught her attention. The tears in her eyes stopped. She batted them away.

“How?”

“Last night you did right in the gym when you slammed your foot down on mine. That was good but afterward you lost track. Get free, you haven’t got the strength that I have but you have other factors which could put your opponent off balance.” He cupped her face forcing her to look at him. “There is more than one way to win.”

“How?” she asked.

“Use your body and the advantage. Come on, I’ll show you.”

* * * *

For the hundredth time, Cade locked her arms behind her neck. They’d been training for two hours straight. She was tired, hungry and in need of a shower. He kept working her over, not giving her time in between attacks. So far she’d succeeded in stopping one attack and that was because Cade got distracted by the door opening.

No other chance of her beating him appeared.

“We’ll take a break,” he said.

She walked away from him to see some water and food on the bleachers. Grabbing a cheese sandwich, she took a bite then sipped from the water. Cade walked over to her and took another sandwich from the pile.

“You’ve never even tried to seduce a man, have you?” he asked.

Closing her eyes, she counted to ten before opening them. “Why do you ask?”

“I said to use your body in any way you can to beat me and you’re not doing it.”

“I thought we weren’t supposed to play dirty to get what we wanted. The Rock Wood way is to fight right.”

He wrapped an arm around her waist and inhaled against her neck. “You smell so beautiful.” Goose bumps erupted along her arms. She gasped when he nibbled on her neck. “For those who can fight, we fight the right way.”

“And for those who can’t?” she asked, breathlessly.

“You fight dirty.”

Cade let her go. They ate their food in silence. She thought over what he said and when he called her to the center of the room, she went.

Fight dirty.

He caught her hands behind her head, locking them tight together. She struggled like she had all the other times.

Fight dirty.

His words kept ringing in her head, goading her to do something different. No amount of pressure was going to free her from his hold. Cade was safe. He wanted her too much to hurt her. If she ever got into a real fight she was done.

Fight dirty.

She closed her eyes for a split second in an attempt to gain some courage and then did something she’d never done. Titania started to rub against Cade and moaned. He froze behind her.

Opening her eyes, she stared straight ahead as she tried to break free. The hold on her arms lessened. His cock pressed to her ass. The thick rod was hard to ignore as it seemed to burn through her clothes like a brand.

“That’s it, baby,” he said. In the next moment his hands were gone, he cupped her hips and ground his dick into her ass.

She gasped from the hot feel of him.

This is your chance. Take him down.

Titania moved swiftly. She turned in his arms, breaking his contact and she kicked him down to the floor. Bringing her knee up she made to slam it into his face but held back. Cade got the gist of what she was doing and fell to the floor. Climbing on top of him she caught her hand around his neck and leaned down. She straddled his stomach, holding him down.

“Now that’s what I’m talking about,” he said, smiling.

She panted for breath and squirmed as Cade moved her down to straddle his cock. They were covered by a layer of clothing each but that didn’t stop the heat of him through the clothing.

“You could have kicked me in the face. I wouldn’t have taken offence.”

“I don’t want to start something I can’t finish. Kicking you in the face would give me no pleasure.”

Letting go of his neck she tried to stand. Cade held her close, his hands on her waist. “You’re not going anywhere,” he said.

“We need to train.”

“And we will. First I want a kiss. I think it calls for a celebration. You finally took my hint.”

She let out a sigh. “The only way for me to win in a fight is if my opponent has the hots for me?”

“No, any guy being rubbed against will struggle to ignore it. He’ll either do what I did and try to make something out of it or he’ll push you away. No matter what, you’re free and you can figure out what to do from there,” he said.

Staring down at him Titania knew he spoke the truth. All she needed to do was make sure she was free from being held captive.

“Now about my kiss.” One hand disappeared from her hip to sink into the length of her hair. Cade tugged on her hair pulling her closer.

Titania didn’t want to fight him. She leaned in close to him willingly. When she felt his breath across her face, she closed the final distance and pressed her lips to his. The instant spark ignited between them. Their moans collided as he took her lips harder.

He rolled her over onto her back. She opened her legs wide as he thrust against her. Titania couldn’t stop the moans from escaping. She reached up to hold his face, kissing him back.

Cade thrust against her. The hot brand of his cock pulsed between her thighs. “Mine, mine, mine.” He muttered the words against her neck, trailing kisses in his wake. She struggled to pull together her thoughts. They were all rolling together and she couldn’t understand why she needed to stop Cade from kissing her.

His lips felt wonderful and she didn’t want it to stop.

Someone cleared their throat in the distance. Both of them ignored it.

“Cade!”

When his name was shouted, Cade hesitated and broke the kiss. Panting for breath, Titania glanced over his shoulder to see Micah waiting.

“Your timing sucks.”

“Whatever, you’re needed,” Micah said.

“I’ll be there in a second.” Cade waited for the door to the gym to close before turning back to her. “I’ve got to go and handle this. We’ll pick this up later.”

She shook her head.

“No arguing with me, Titania.”

He kissed her one final time and then ran out the door leaving her alone.

With a raging hard-on, Cade followed Micah out of the house and into the forest surrounding the back of the house. The cool air was a welcome relief from the heat of his body. He didn’t know how much longer he could handle playing with Titania. When her hot body rubbed against him he’d seen only lust. His desire for her was growing by the second and now he was walking out toward the forest.

Micah stopped about a mile into the forest. They were surrounded by trees and Cade saw Jordan, Wilson and Paul standing, waiting. Pete would be preparing the bar on the outskirts of town. Micah owned the only bar in Rock Wood.

“What’s going on? Is this some kind of intervention?” Cade asked.

“No. I don’t give a fuck who you mate or who you fuck. All I care about is the safety of this pack. There might be others who disagree but I’m not one of them,” Paul said.

“You’re the first person to say so.”

“I don’t have a problem with you mating Titania, Cade. I want to make sure you understand some of the pack might not be happy with it,” Micah said.

“Okay, if this is not about my taste in women, why are we meeting in the forest away from the pack?” Cade asked.

“We’ve got a problem with the Eagle pack,” Jordan said, finally speaking up.

“Yeah, what seems to be the problem?” Cade stretched out his arms and ran fingers through his short hair. He wished he could shave it off.

“We don’t know,” Micah said.

“What do we know?” Cade asked, confused. They’d pulled him away from training Titania to talk about a pack they knew nothing about.

“They’re up to something. We know that much.”

Cade saw the look passing between the men.

“For fuck’s sake, tell me,” Cade said, tired of all the secrecy.

“No one knows this yet but one of our women who visit the house every few months has gone missing. Tabitha phoned Micah to let him know she was coming in. We’ve not heard a word from her since,” Wilson said.

Tabitha was a good woman. She liked to explore the world and her stays at Rock Wood were always fleeting. Cade’s hackles rose.

“When did we receive the call?” he asked.

“Three weeks ago. She should have been here last week. There is no sighting of her in town at all.” Jordan spoke up this time.

“Maybe she was mistaken and went off to do something else.”

All the men shook their heads. “You know Tabitha, Cade. If she wasn’t going to make it to town, she’d call. She’s cautious,” Micah said.

“Fuck!” Cade held the back of his head looking up at the sky. “She’s missing and I bet the Eagles have her. They were looking for women when they broke into the bar all those years ago with Charlotte. From what I hear they take human women the same as pack women.”

“Titania killed Brandon,” Jordan said.

“I know, which begs the answer to this question, who is running the Eagle pack in his death?”

“No one knows and none of the pack can find out. This is between us. Nothing gets out,” Micah said.

“I’m not about to blab pack business, Alpha.” Cade stared at the trees wondering how to approach the new Eagle situation. He was sick and tired of the other pack. All they did was cause trouble. “We need to lock down the women in the house. None of them go in or out without a male escort.”
