“They’vegotVladimir,”Isay, dropping my phone into the pocket of my black combat pants.
Saoirse turns off the shower water, and I grab the towel hanging, holding it out as she steps out. “What?” She takes it, wiping her face free of water.
“Vladimir. Sean confirmed his location.”
“I’m coming.”
“No,” I say through a growl. “You’ll stay here. You can meet us once he’s secure in the warehouse.”
She shakes her head vigorously while she wraps herself in the towel. “Absolutely not, Jaime. If you’re going, so am I.”
“It’s not up for discussion.”
She glares at me, and fuck if I don’t melt under her gaze. “You promised your mother dinner. You’ll go to dinner with us, and then we will go to the warehouse together once he is secure.”
“I won’t be able to eat, knowing they’re getting him without me. Baby, we’re about to breach his safehouse. I have to be there.”
My phone rings, and I scoop it from my pocket. “What’s up?” I ask Declan.
“Picking you up in fifteen.”
Saoirse snatches the phone. She presses it to her ear after glancing at the caller I.D. “Scotty’s not coming. He’ll meet you at the warehouse.”
“Give me the phone,” I say, willing my patience to stay.
“No. He promised his mother dinner. I don’t care, Declan. You’ll manage without him.”
“Saoirse, this is war. You don’t put your best player on the bench in the middle of war.” I yank the phone from her ear, pressing it to mine. “I’ll be ready in fifteen,” I say, hanging up the phone.
She glares at me with a pout that has her lips looking so sexy, I have to pause and remember what we’re about to argue over. I clear my throat. Right.Vladimir.
“Don’t you ever undermine me with your brothers again. They are my bosses.”
“They may be, but I’m your wife, as you like to claim. Always throwing the word around.” She glances down at her bare hand.
I really need to get that fixed.
“Yet no ring.” Shaking her head, she brings her gaze to mine. “But I’m getting off topic. You’re not going without me. And you promised your mom we would have dinner with her.”
I step forward, stalking toward her, and she stumbles back, trying to create space. We continue until her ass is pressed up against the shower stall. “Let me get something straight with you,” I say, my tone dark. I grip her wrists, pinning them against her chest. “You do not fucking tell me what to do. I do not answer to you.”
“You’re my bodyguard,” she says. “Youdoanswer to me.”
I drop my head, my teeth biting at her neck. She lets out a shriek of pain, but doesn’t say anything else. Her chest rises and falls rapidly, the scent of her freshly washed body awakening the beast in me that needs to have her.
“I stopped being your guard the day I fucked you raw on your desk. Now, I’m just the jealous, possessive asshole that claimed you as his. You would do best to remember that,princess.” I say the term of endearment with a drip of darkness.
I move my mouth to her shoulder, and bite again. “You will stay here while I do my job. And when Vladimir is secure, I will come and get you.”
She shakes her head.
“Five,” I say. “Two for the instances on the boat. Two for taking the phone away and acting like you’re my keeper. One for your lack of respect.” I grin. “God, I can’t wait to punish you.”
“Jaime,” she says on a breathy whimper. “Please, don’t go. I’m scared. I don’t want you to get hurt.”
“I’m not leaving your brothers to invade enemy territory on their own. It’s not up for debate.” I pull away from her, before she seduces me into staying. I’m already hard as a rock, and I need to get rid of the tent I’m pitching fast.
I head through the bathroom and into my room so I can finish getting ready. Saoirse follows, watching as I put on a black long sleeve shirt. I grab my combat boots and long socks before coming to sit at the edge of the bed.
