Slade (The Protectors #6)

Jill threw out her hand, the force pushing Slade toward the door. “Do not call me baby!” She gave a hard push with her hand, her eyes still on fire with anger.

Digging his heels in, he fought against her power. Slowly, he lifted his hand, pushing with his power against hers. “Don’t forget, I’ve got the same power and I know how to use it.”

Frowning as her feet moved backward on the bed, Jill visibly tried to push back harder, but it was no use; she was moving quickly toward the wall. Slade followed by stepping up on her bed as if it was just a small step. She struggled with everything she had, but it was no use. He had her plastered against the wall, both hands up above her head without him even touching her, only his power kept her prisoner.

“What are you going to do now, badass?” Slade tilted his head, looking down at her. When she struggled to move, he smiled. “The things I could do to you right now.”

A fire of a different kind lit her eyes, before a smirk curved her lips. “Go for it, Warrior.” Her voice lowered in a sexy timbre. “Then you can run out when you’re finished.” Her voice changed to sarcastic in a flash.

“One of these days, I’m going to smack that sweet ass of yours.” The smile never left his lips and his eyes promised he would do just that.

“Promises… Promises,” Jill responded as if she couldn’t care less, but her harsh breathing told him otherwise.

“Listen, and listen good, Jillian.” He bent so his mouth was close to her ear, but his eyes still stared into hers. “Once your initiation is over, you are mine. Make no mistake, I will have you again and again, but for now, you focus on getting through initiation.”

She sucked in her breath, biting her lower lip.

“If you’d keep that mouth of yours closed and listen, this whole situation would be different.” He breathed in deeply, inhaling her scent; his cock hardened painfully in his jeans. “But then again, that mouth of yours has its benefits because without it, I wouldn’t have you exactly where I want you.”

“And where…” her voice cracked, causing her to clear it, “where’s that?”

“Plastered against the wall under my total control.” He moved his head around, their lips brushing against each other as he made his way slowly to her other ear. “And that…baby…makes me hard.” He pushed into her, showing her exactly how hard he was. The flare in her eyes let him know she liked being in his control, which made it that much sweeter.

He could feel her body tremble, could smell her need and wanted nothing more than to fulfill that need, but she was going to have to learn to listen and not automatically think he only wanted one thing from her. Oh, he wanted nothing more in the world at that moment than to sink deep into her tight warmth, but Slade wanted her and he was done hiding it, but she was going to finish the program before anything more happened between them.

“But—” Jill’s voice was harsh with need.

“There are no buts, Jill. I’m your trainer. That is most important right now,” Slade replied before she could even finish her sentence. “This is the way it is and the way it will be. Finish the program and then we will see where we go from there.”

Their faces were inches apart, breath mingling and Slade had control…until her wet, pink tongue snaked out to moisten her lips. Pushing away from her, he released his power, turned stepping off the bed, heading for the door. Jill followed him.

“So that’s it?” Jill stood on the end of the bed. “You’re leaving…again?”

Slade turned enough to look at her over his shoulder. “You heard what I said, Jill. Finish the program.” His eyes ran over her body; his mind, as well as his hard cock, demanding he walk back and take her, ease his misery and hers, but he was stronger than that. He meant what he said. He would not be the reason she failed or got killed. He was her trainer first and foremost, and at that moment, he hated his fucking job.

Walking out of the room was probably the hardest thing he had ever done. Before he could take a step, something big hit the door behind him. He smiled, shaking his head. Yeah, he was going to pay for this stunt, but their focus needed to be on her training and nothing more. Taking a step, he groaned, looking down, but first he needed to take care of his need. Damn that woman was going to kill him or drive him insane. His mind quickly wondered how she would ease her need. “Fuck!” He shook the thoughts from his head, and walked faster to his room. Yeah, he was going to go insane.

Walking into a weight gym, Jax realized he had been right. The guy was a muscle head. “You see him anywhere?” Jax asked Sid, looking around.

“No.” Sid walked over to the counter where a cute girl with a preppy ponytail and tight workout clothes stood at a computer. “Hello.”

She looked up, her eyes widening at Sid, then shooting for Jax. “Hi.” She smiled, putting on her best sales face. “You guys interested in a membership?”
