FIRE (Elite Forces Series Book 2) (7 page)

“Jade Elliott.  I’ll give you your calm sex now, but one day soon… I’m going to fuck you until you’re damn sore.  Hell, we’ll both be sore, and I won’t give a shit if it hurts us both to walk for days.” Or crawl. Or never climb out of bed again.  I’m ok with that fate.

“I look forward to that.”  She moves to face me, and I trace my fingers along her neck, down to her nipples.  I brush over the peaks and watch them perk up to the hardness I missed feeling.

She unbuttons my pants and slowly works them down until I can step out of them with ease.  “Now, lie down, so I can take care of you.”  I obey, but fight myself to let her have this control.  I’ll do it just this one time.

I watch her as she moves over me, continuing to kiss across my skin while she positions herself on my hips.  My cock is standing hard, but she sits just in front of it, allowing it to bump up against her ass. 

“I missed you.  When they pulled the chopper up, my heart sank because I thought I’d never see you again.”  I see a tiny tear begin to fall down her right cheek, and it takes everything in me to not take over and show her just how fine I am. 

“I’m here now, Jade.  I heard you, and that’s the reason I had hope out there.  I wanted to feel this with you again.”  I pull her hand over my heart, and we look into each other’s eyes while it beats into her palm.  She literally holds my heart now, so I can’t think of a more perfect way to start this. 

I reach up, slide my hand through her hair, and guide her lips down to mine.  Her kiss is soft and gentle, and it’s almost like we’re kissing each other for the first time.  She places her hands beside my head and manages to continue kissing me without touching a single one of my bandages.  Perfect.  This, I can live with.

She rolls her hips up then slides gently onto my cock, and I exhale loudly the entire time I can feel her around me.  “Am I hurting you?”

“Fuck, no.  Keep going.  You feel so good on my dick.”  She moves slowly up and down, raising her body into a sitting position.  Her tits move as she does and I don't know where I want to put my hands the most, so I spread them over her chest and then move them over her body from there. 

She's so fucking gorgeous.  Her teeth nip on her bottom lip when I rotate my hips into her. The restraint I have that's keeping me from grabbing her hips and pounding into her over and over is insane. I’ve lost my goddamn mind over her.

She moves up and down on me until I can see her concentration shift.  She's close.  It's time I handle this shit for her.

I slide my thumb between us and splay my hand over her pelvis.  With her clit under the pressure of my thumb, I roll that tender ball of nerves until she loudly takes her release from me and grinds herself harder as she goes. 

I watch her eyes.  She's trying to watch me, but loses the battle when her release rushes over her.  Her moans are loud enough to be heard out in the cabin, and I love that she didn't even try to hold back.  I want her to always give me her all. 

She starts to move over me again.  We both feel the plane descending and look at each other, knowing our time is limited.  She lifts herself off of me, sliding down my body until she covers my cock with her mouth.  I growl when her warmth covers me.  Christ, look at her. She’s making sure she pleases me and has no idea she already does in a way no one else can.

She takes me as deep as she can, trying to keep from gagging. Then she swallows, and I feel it at the tip of my cock.  I swear that was a direct switch for me to come inside of her. 

“Jade.  I have to do this right.  I want to be inside you the first time I come again.  Come here, baby.”  I grab her shoulders to get her back on my dick. Her eyes grow wide with mischief, and she lets out a little groan when I slam her back down onto my cock. It only takes a few more thrusts into her hot center and I'm coming deep inside her just as the plane lands on the ground. 

It was rough, but I wouldn't have wanted to land any other way. 

“I love you.  Remember, whatever you see on those tapes…. That I love you and I'm here for you.”  She kisses me on my cheek, and I grab the back of her head to guide her lips even closer to mine.  We kiss for what seems like ten minutes without a care in the world.  I know the others are all already off the plane.  In fact, if I weren’t so eager to see those tapes, I'd start on her again. 

It's different now that I know I have a long time with her.  Before, I had to push for more every time we were together.  Now, I can relax, knowing she’ll be by my side when shit gets handled.

“I love you too, Jade.  I'm not sure what I hope to see on those tapes.”  She climbs off me and starts to get dressed. 

“We’ll deal with whatever it is.”  I watch her every move until she's covered, then bend to get my own clothes.  I work my pants over the one bandage on my right thigh.  I'm thankful I survived that hell, let alone being able to live a normal life.  I know my brother didn't take it easy on me.  I'm guessing he knew inflicting pain on my body wouldn't be true torture for me.  My women would be the best way to get to me, and he fucking knew that.

I smooth my hair and beard just before I open the door, expecting an empty bird.  Instead, I open it to Pierce and Jackson finalizing the information with the pilots in the main cabin. 
Fuck.

“Nice of you two to provide the music for our flight.  I rather enjoyed that.”  Jackson’s ass would be the one to listen in.

“Did you learn something, asshole?”  This is the first time he’s had a chance to listen in on me fucking someone.  I’ve never been one to be so needy I couldn’t wait until I was in the privacy of my own house, but Jade has changed that.  She’s changed me.  I’m not sure I’ll ever get enough of her.

“Ice sounds like she can handle the big, bad Fire all by herself.”  He smiles and fake punches her in the shoulder.  She instantly punches him in the side to retaliate and gives him her own hell.

“Jackson.  That's what it sounds like when a girl is satisfied.  I can talk you through a woman’s main pleasure points if you need me to.”  He laughs at her comeback and throws his arm over her shoulder. 

“Ah, shit.  I love this girl, Maverick.  We needed another smartass.”

“Hands off, fuckhead.”  He doesn't listen to me and starts walking with her to the door to exit the plane. He’s damn lucky I like his twisted-up ass.

“You ready for this?” Pierce asks the minute we all step off the plane.

“More than ready. While you set it up, I’m going to call my mom.” We walk straight to the office within the confines of our own compound.  Jade squeezes my hand tightly, and I kiss her on her forehead before I let her go with them. I need to talk to my mom on my own.

Snagging my cell from the front pocket of my jeans, I slide the screen to find her name, then place the phone up to my ear while I hold my breath for her to answer.

“Hey, son.” Her cheery voice instantly brings a smile to my face. “How’s it going, mom?” I begin my pacing, back and forth in front of the office, my free hand running through my hair while I stress about what exactly to say. If I keep this shit up, I’ll wear a path in the damn grass right here.  I figure I may as well start with the most important thing.

“I met a woman. She’s the one, mom.” Her sharp, screeching scream has me pulling the phone away from my ear. It’s followed by a string of curse words mixed with ‘when can I meet her’ and ‘it's about damn time’.

“That’s one of the reasons for my call. I thought you might want to come down here and stay a few days to meet her.” It’s partially the truth. I want nothing more than the two of them to meet. Under normal circumstances would be a hell of a lot better, but there isn’t a damn thing normal about this. I want her here, even though she’s protected where she is.  My mind would feel better if she was here, with me, where I know for a fact she’s safe.  This compound is the safest place I know.  I made sure we had the best of the best when we designed it.

“I can’t, Kaleb. I have to work. You two should come here.”  I’ve been telling her for years to quit her job and let me take care of her, but the stubborn woman won’t hear of it. There’s no sense in trying to talk her into it. I should know, I get my stubbornness from her. When she makes up her mind about something, there is no changing it.

“You know how I feel about you working, mom, but I get it.”

“First, I want to know why in the hell there is another man outside of my house.   By the way, I should mention he’s a very large, nice-looking man. Thanks for sending the nice-looking ones, Kaleb. Then tell me all about this woman who seems to have captured my son’s heart.”

I roll my eyes and spend the next half hour talking to her about anything and everything. I make sure to sidestep why she has extra security on her. She knows better than to ask. I make sure Amelie is ok, and we both stay silent for a moment toward the end.  I know she has so many questions, and I love my mother for always respecting the fact I can’t tell her everything.

We end our talk with me promising to bring Jade to her as soon as I can and her excitement about all the places she plans to take us when we do get to make the trip to see her.  I have a feeling she’s going to overwhelm Jade, but I know she can handle it.  She knows my mother means the world to me, so she’ll mean a lot to Jade for that very reason alone.

Keeping things from her makes me feel guilty as hell, but right now, I don’t even know whether to tell her we killed her other son, or that I’m going to kill him.  That doesn’t really sound like a great conversation to have with your mother on any day, but definitely not the day she finds out you’ve met the woman of your dreams and that she is actually yours.

I see Jade peek through the curtain of the main cabin a few times to check on me as I finish up the call.  How did I get so lucky to actually get the one woman who caught my eye to fall for me and prove herself to me over and over again?

I see her again and motion her outside to meet me.  These tapes are going to be hard for me to watch, and I just hope I can control my anger when I do.  Seeing what they saw will be hard, but I know this is something we need to do. 

“You ok?  Is your mom good?” she asks before she reaches me, and I reply instantly.

“She’s good.  I’m going to be alright once I get what’s on these tapes behind me.”

“I know you are.  Come inside and let’s face what we’re up against.  They have Pierce’s footage ready to watch.”  I pull her back for a quick kiss, not because I can’t keep my hands off of her this time, but because I want to feel her support before I go in to endure the disturbing mind-fuck I’m about to sit through.

“Jesus Christ, Jade,” Pierce says. I know what he’s talking about without even looking at him or without hearing the yelling. The gunshots on the screen showing she took off, leaving her position even though she was told to hold back. Shit, she was firing and killing every fucking thing that moved.

She shot them straight in the dick.  I have to laugh out loud along with the rest of the guys.  She’s fucking crazy when it comes to this shit.  And that makes me love her even more.  I lean over to give her a kiss, not caring what the rest of them think.  I don’t keep my eyes from the screen long, waiting for the sight I’m here to see.

I continue to watch while my insides jump with every sound of a gunshot and every word spoken. My mind spins with pent-up frustration and anger the whole time the video plays. Harris even darted out of the woods right after Jade, both of them guns fucking blazing. I see Pierce and Jackson approaching from the other side, hear words flying like the wildfire emblazing my goddamn soul.

And then, fuck… there I am. Hanging helplessly on that damn tree. My head down. My body burned and bruised. I suck in a sharp breath when I see it’s Harris who takes control over me. His large body covers some of the footage as he struggles and focuses on cutting my battered body down.

The sounds of him grunting and then watching him shield my body from the bullets slinging through the air pull deep inside my heart. I owe him my life. He’ll get my thanks and will forever have my loyalty after what he did for me out there.  I’ll call him soon, but right now, I need to stay focused. I need to be sure my brother was among the dead.  My eyes flit everywhere, while I search all the dead bodies to see if one of them is Ty.

I stand abruptly. Time ticks slowly as I try to count the endless bodies lying on the ground. My girl is solely focused on me, her lips pleading for me to look at her. To seek her out.

“Stop the damn tape,” I yell loud enough to cause Jade to jump out of her seat and stand beside me.

“What is it? Did you see him?” Her hand grips my arm gently.

The tape stops rolling, but my gut doesn’t. I know what I saw. It has to be him.

“Roll back about ten seconds, Pierce.” I ignore Jade’s plea beside me while the tape is moving backwards in slow motion then filtering to life again on the screen.  “Brighten it.  It’s so fucking dark.  There, on the roof. Enhance that,” I say loudly. The screen pauses in an instant. My body stiffens. My heart explodes.

“Motherfucker,” Pierce and Jackson both say at the same time.

“There he is. The fucker isn’t dead,” Jackson says with alarm.

“Is that him?” Jade points to the chicken shit sitting on the roof, his beady little eyes on the screen gazing back at me.

“Fuck.  How the hell did we miss him?  Our night vision should’ve picked that up.”  Kase stands along with the rest of them, knowing this is only the beginning.
