Baby, Don't Go(12)

Jack’s jaw twitched and he practically growled out his response. “Thanks for treating my girl to lunch, but I’ve got her from here.” I shivered at the hint of sensual threat in his words. I had a feeling he was going to make me pay for not talking to him about the job offer soon.





Chapter 7


Jack


As a doctor, I understand the results of physical violence more than most, but this guy was going to find himself well acquainted with my fist if he didn’t get the fuck out of there, fast.

I slipped my arm around Ellison and squeezed her waist, gluing her to my side. Declan (the pussy) was smiling like a cocky son of a bitch, and I glared while Ellison said goodbye and promised to call him. My fingers dug in a little harder, a reflex at the thought of her leaving me and conveying my irritation with her.

She extended her hand and I repressed the need to snatch it back, not wanting even the smallest touch of their skin. Declan finally turned to leave and I kept Ellison beside me as I walked back through the sliding glass doors into the hospital lobby.

“Hey, Dr. Halston, Dr. Reed,” greeted a nurse in pink scrubs behind the registration desk. I jerked my chin in response and Ellison gave a weak wave with her free hand. Keeping steady on my path, I headed straight for my office, basically ignoring everyone on the way. Once we reached it, I guided her inside before turning and slamming the door shut. I took a second to calm myself, then turned to face her.

“Care to explain why you’re keeping secrets from me and allowing other men to take you out?” I stalked over to her, forcing her to back up, but she only had a few inches before she was pinned between me and the desk. “And, let’s be clear about one thing, there is no fucking way you are taking another job and moving away from me. You are mine, Ellison. Or haven’t I made that quite obvious by keeping you in my bed every night and doing my damnedest to plant my kid in you?”

Ellison’s eyes narrowed and she frowned at me before making an effort to push me away. She might as well be trying to move a block of stone. I wasn’t going anywhere until she understood the situation.

“Listen, you big, overbearing caveman,” she growled, “you don’t make my decisions for me!”

I leaned in until our faces were a breath away. “I think we both know I don’t need to. You know you’re mine, baby.” I grabbed hold of her ass and tugged her body flush against mine. “Or you wouldn’t let my bare cock into your honeyed pussy.” Lifting her up, I pressed the bulge in my pants into the cradle of her thighs. “Maybe you need a reminder,” I rumbled before slamming my mouth down on hers.

“Dr. Reed,” a disembodied voice called over the PA system. “You’re needed in pediatrics.” Fuck! I let her down, making sure she felt the slide of our bodies the whole way.

The page was repeated and I stepped back, giving her room to get around me and leave the office. She shook her head, evidently trying to clear away the thick haze of lust around us. She didn’t make eye contact as she headed for the door, so I grabbed her arm forcing her to stop and turn back to me.

“I’ll be continuing with my reminder later.” Then I planted a quick kiss on her swollen lips and released her.

She pivoted and stepped over the threshold, muttering, “We’ll see,” and throwing my own words back at me. A grin stole over my face and I shook my head. I fucking loved that woman.

It turned out Ellison had to go into an emergency surgery and I had a scheduled case an hour after she was paged. However, I was still done before her and I hovered around her scrub room, lying in wait, ready to pounce. She finished up and I stayed out of sight until she’d washed and changed back into her street clothes and white lab coat.

I was lounging several feet down the hall and when she saw me, she hesitated for a moment, then lifted her chin stubbornly and continued toward me. It was fucking hot when she got riled and I was about to fan the flame. The thought had my already hard cock fighting like mad to be released and bury itself into her hot, wet pussy.

She began to walk past me without comment. It was adorable how she thought she’d get away with it. I placed a hand between her shoulder blades, the other twisting the knob on the nearest door. Firmly, I steered her through the opening. I shut the door and looked around, realizing we were in a storage closet. I mentally shrugged. It would do.

Ellison was glowering at me, her arms folded across her chest, lifting her breasts, and a hip cocked out.

“Can I help you, Dr. Halston?” she gritted through her teeth. Backing her into the wall, I pressed against her.

“You can scream, Dr. Halston, when I make you come so hard you see fucking stars.”
