New Species 02 Slade (37 page)

you’re in control of how deep you take me.”

Slade slowly lowered to sit back on his heels and

pulled her slowly down until she straddled him, facing

away. One of his arms guided her hips while his other

hand continued to stroke her clit until he grabbed the

shaft of his cock instead.

Trisha looked down, the sight of him fisting the base

of his thick erection made her wetter and more needy to

have him buried inside her pussy. She gripped the top of

his thigh to help keep her balance, tilted her hips, and

eased down as he guided the crown of his cock right

against her entrance. Trisha came down over his lap and

Slade slowly entered her.

She cried out over how good it felt when he breached

her pussy, the snug fit of their bodies as she lowered

more, and the slight burn of being stretched open by

something so rigid. Trisha turned her face against his

neck and her back pressed tightly against his chest. She

moaned, feeling his thick, hard cock sliding deeper

inside her wet, welcoming pussy as her body fully

settled down onto his lap until her ass rested over his

thighs. She shivered.

“Slade!”

“Easy, honey. Real slow, even if it kills me.” He had

released his shaft to allow her to sit fully on him and that

hand eased over her thigh, returning to play with her clit.

She whimpered, hurting to come.

“So warm, so tight,” he growled. “So mine.” His lips

brushed her shoulder as he growled again against her

skin. His fingers continued to tease her clit while he

slowly started to rock his hips upward.

“Slade,” she moaned.

“I’m here, Trisha,” He rasped. His free hand ran up

her stomach and cupped her breast to caress her

sensitive nipple. “Fast or slow? Tell me what you want.”

“Faster,” she moaned.

Slade thrust up into Trisha with more force,

strummed his fingers against the bundle of nerves

between her thighs faster to keep pace with his thrusting

hips. Trisha moaned louder. The sensation of him inside

her while he rubbed her clit became amazingly intense.

She gripped his thighs for something to cling to as he

drove in and out of her faster and deeper.

Trisha nearly screamed when the climax struck, her

vaginal muscles clenched tightly around the hard

thickness of his cock. Waves of pleasure slammed her as

he began to swell inside her. He slowed his thrusts to

deep, violent jerks, and his entire body tensed. The hand

released her breast, his arm hooked around her waist to

lock her against his lap, and his body jerked violently

under hers as he came.

“Trisha,” he snarled.

They stilled and that’s when Trisha noticed the

heated feel of his semen as it spread inside her while he

continued to come, filling her with his warm release. It

seemed to go on for a good minute while they clung to

each other. Her body quivered as Slade’s hands shifted

on her body, both of them tightening around her waist,

anchoring her on his lap more firmly. He brushed a kiss

on the top of her shoulder. They were both panting.

“I missed you,” he breathed against her skin. “I

won’t ever leave you again. Ever, Trisha. I’d rather die

than be away from you. I swear to protect you with my

life and I won’t mess up again. I learned how much you

mean to me.”

She released his outer thighs to grip his arms at her

waist. Part of her was afraid to believe him but she really

wanted to. She loved him. Sometimes you have to take a

chance. You’ll never know if you refuse to at least give him one

more shot. She bit her lip before blowing out a deep

breath.

“This is the last chance I’m giving you. I mean it. I

won’t give you another chance if you ever hurt me again.

You pull another disappearing act and that’s it. I’ll be

stick-a-fork-in-me done.”

He chuckled. “I won’t. I’ll just stay where I am right

now. Between the frequent sex and the swelling

afterward, I’ll be locked into you all the time. I could

hold you this way forever.”

“I have to eat sometime.”

He laughed. “I won’t starve you.”

“Good to know.”

“You’re going to need your strength.”

Slade held his Trisha until her body started to sag

and he realized she was about to drift off to sleep. The

swelling at the base of his shaft had receded. He adjusted

his hold on her and carefully lifted her off his lap and

onto her side. Her blue eyes met his and she smiled

softly at him.

Emotions nearly choked him, making him unable to

speak. She was so beautiful to him and so fragile. She

carried his child within her womb. That fact still stunned

and humbled him. She’d given him the ultimate gift.

She’d given him her body and a future with her. His lips

curved into a smile and he cleared his throat.

“I’ll turn off the light. You need plenty of rest, Doc.”

“Trisha.” Her lips pouted slightly with irritation.

“Sorry, Trisha.” He grinned. “Old habits die hard

and in my defense, I’m no longer inside you.”

“You’ll use my name while you’re in my bed unless

you want to sleep on the floor.”

“Fair enough.” Amusement and happiness mingled

inside Slade. She’d taken him back, forgiven him, and he

wasn’t sure he deserved it. He’d made a mess of things.

Good intentions aside, he regretted his choices. “I’ll turn

off the light and we’ll sleep.”

She would have said something to him but instead,

when her lips parted, a yawn came out. He turned off the

light and reached for his woman. He pulled her lush

body against his own, his arm wrapped around her waist

and he spooned her from behind. He couldn’t get close

enough to her, didn’t want even an inch of space between

their bodies, and she willingly allowed him to settle

them onto their sides.

“I really missed you,” he confessed softly against her

shoulder where he tucked his chin, breathing in her

scent. “I thought about you constantly.”

“I missed you too and couldn’t get you out of my

head. I hated it after you abandoned me.”

He inwardly winced at the painful tone of her voice.

“I’m sorry, sweet thing. It won’t happen again. I swear

that to you on my life. I made a stupid decision but it

won’t happen again. I’ve smartened up.”

She lay still in his arms for long moments. “Are you

okay about the baby?”

The uncertainty laced in her voice stung. He’d done

this to her, made her question the bond between them.

“I’m thrilled.”

“I am too but I’m scared.”

“I’ll protect you.” A flash of anger shot through him

at the thought of her being in danger. “No one will hurt

you. They will die if they try.”

Her small hand gripped his arm that was around her

waist, her fingers tracing his skin. “That’s not what I’m

afraid of. What if something goes wrong with the baby?

Ever since I saw it on the ultrasound I knew I wanted it,

Slade. There’s so much that could happen. I’m a doctor. I

know that—”

“It will be fine.” He cut her off. “It’s our baby, a

miracle, and life has been too cruel to me as it is. I refuse

to lose you or our child. Fate has to give us a break.”

Her silence worried him but then she sighed.

“Happy thoughts?”

He nuzzled her neck. “Yes. Happy thoughts, Trisha.

We’re together and that’s what matters.”

He knew when she drifted to sleep. Her breathing

changed and her fingers stilled on his skin. He pulled

her a little tighter against his body, careful not to crush

her, but wanted to wrap around her more. The woman

inside his arms meant life to him… and death. He’d do

anything to be with her and he’d kill anyone who

attempted to come between them.

“No,” Slade growled. His eyes flashed his anger. “I’ll

stay and protect her. You go do my job at the

construction site.”

Brass growled back. “I will not deal with all those

humans.”

Trisha shook her head at the two men who were

about to come to blows again. She sighed. “Boys? Could

we please not have a fight inside the living room? We

already lost a coffee table and I’m partial to the couch

because it’s comfortable.”

“Give it up.” Harley chuckled. “They are so going to

fight.”

Moon had his arms crossed over his chest, looking

bored. He nodded at Trisha.

“Want popcorn?” Harley headed for the kitchen. “I

love to eat it when I watch a good fight.”

“I’ll take some,” Moon grunted.

“Stop it,” Trisha sighed. “There will be no fistfights

in the living room. At least take it outside to the yard if

you two are determined to beat each other up. Slade? Do

you hear me? Brass? Come on, guys. No fighting inside

the cabin.”

Slade’s gaze shifted to Trisha. “I am not leaving you.

Tell him to go deal with Justice’s projects. He can handle

ordering a bunch of humans to build things on time as

good as I can. They respond well when we snarl and

show teeth. It motivates them to work faster to get away

from us.”

Brass cursed. “I have no idea what projects need to

be done. All I said was that you can leave to do your job

during the day and I told you that you can stay with her

at night.”

“She’s mine,” Slade growled. “You’re telling me

when I can spend time with her? Don’t even try it. You

have no say when it comes to my woman.”

“I’m telling you that I can take care of her while you

are at work. You have a job, remember? She doesn’t need

four of us sitting here watching her. She’s safe in the wild

zone. Valiant promised to talk to the others and that she

would be protected by all of them. He assured me no

humans would come near her.”

Slade didn’t appear convinced. “Do you need me to

show you who can protect her better? Do you want me to

wipe the ground with you again?”

“Enough!” Trisha yelled, finally losing her temper.

She realized they weren’t exactly normal men but their

dominating nature started to irritate her. She glared at

Slade. “You, stop beating your chest and threatening my

friends.” Her attention fixed on Brass next. “And you,

stop baiting him.” She sighed, lowering her voice as she

stared at Slade. “You do have a job to do and I’m fine

here. I don’t see why you can’t go to work and come

home to me at the end of the day.”

“Fine,” Slade snarled. “Choose your friend over me.”

He stomped to the door.

“Slade? Stop thinking that way,” Trisha groaned.

“That’s not it. Please just―”

Slade spun when he reached the door. “I will see you

tonight.”

He stormed out and slammed the door. Trisha

walked to the couch and threw herself down, cursing

softly. She sensed three pairs of eyes on her and she

looked back at each of them.

“Why did him saying that sound as if it were a

threat?”

Moon grinned at Trisha. “Because it was.”

“Yeah,” Harley agreed. “You’re going to get it

tonight.” He removed the popcorn from the microwave.

“But I doubt he’d let us watch whatever it is he will be

plotting to do to you to get even. I do enjoying watching

porn movies though. I’m betting that it would be a good

show. Too bad.”

“Porn?” Trisha sputtered, shooting Harley a glare.

“That’s not funny.”

“He won’t hurt you but… ” Moon winked at her. “I

bet he’s going to think up something good to do to you.

He’ll want to convince you to pick him next time if

there’s an issue of you choosing.”

She frowned. “What does that mean?”

Brass laughed. “We are aggressive and competitive.

It’s our nature. He’s going to probably do something that

soothes his pride.”

“His pride? I wasn’t picking you over him. What do

you think he’s planning? Come on, guys. I’m a doctor for

goodness sake. Stop talking in riddles. What do you

think he’s going to do to me?”

“My guess?” Moon grinned. “He’s going to turn you

on until he makes you beg him to fuck you. He’ll want to

show you who your body belongs to and why he’s your

male. Then his pride will be fixed where you dented it.”

“He’s canine.” Harley chuckled. “I know what I’d do

to a woman if I wanted to show her I was in charge. I’d
