Fury Read online

  Beatrice Thorton had admitted to being curious about what it would be like to have sex with Fury. It was why she’d hit on him and had made Ellie’s life miserable. When she finally realized Fury would have nothing to do with her she’d decided to implement her plan while Ellie took a shower so he’d hopefully go insane and kill the woman he loved. It was a vicious scheme and it could have worked in the woman’s favor but she hadn’t counted on how deeply Fury loved Ellie.

  Justice stared at Ellie and Fury grimly. “I swear, she’s going to get some serious time. They promised me that she would be made an example of. We have to totally change our security protocols now. We’ve decided to start schooling some of our people in nursing. That way if we need help in the future we aren’t totally dependent on humans for nursing care.”

  Fury shifted in his seat and glanced around Justice’s office. “Did she say if she knew if Mercile would send others?”

  Justice’s shoulders slumped. “We are sure they will try to infiltrate us again. At least it wasn’t as large of an attack as our doctors feared. Our food supply and water were never tampered with. We just have to be very careful of full humans.” He gave Ellie an apologetic look. “No offense. I would trust you with my life. It’s just strangers we have to be careful with. From now on we do full background checks on any humans who are allowed through the gates.”

  “We need to rely more on ourselves,” Fury concluded. “We have a lot of full humans working here. If Mercile wants to get ugly they could start attempting to bribe them into allowing someone to get past security to cause us harm.”

  “I’ll leave you in charge of that.” Justice appeared tired. “It’s always going to be a battle for us, my friend. There are always going to be enemies we will have to deal with. Hopefully Mercile will be completely destroyed by the lawsuits and bad publicity. One day I hope they no longer exist. Then all we’ll be left to deal with are the humans who think we’re an abomination against humanity.”

  Fury sighed. “Don’t forget the arrested Mercile employees are facing a lot of years in prison. I’m sure their families and friends feel rage toward us. There’s also the ones who are still out there who avoided arrest. We need to be wary of them. Our people can identify them and this incident has made me realize the danger we pose to them. That woman could have gone after our women who knew what she looked like and could have picked her from a lineup. We were lucky she didn’t attack them too.”

  “That’s just another fear we’ll struggle with.” Justice ran his fingers through his hair.

  Ellie glanced at her watch. “Hey, sorry to leave but I have to get to work. The women are expecting me. We’re throwing a birthday party and I can’t be late.”

  Fury slowly grinned. “A birthday party?”

  Ellie stood and leaned over to cup his face in her hands. “Yes. We have presents, a cake, decorations, and everything. It will be fun.”

  Fury kissed her. Ellie grinned, backed away, and waved to both men. “Nice seeing you, Justice. See you at home later, Fury.”

  “Yes, you will,” he growled. “You and I have plans now that I have been deemed completely healed.”

  Heat rushed to Ellie’s cheeks when Justice laughed. Did anyone not know that Fury was cleared for sex this morning? Probably not. She walked out of the building to settle into her golf cart. She’d missed it. She fished out her key and drove to the women’s dorm.

  Inside everyone was aflutter with excitement. They were throwing a birthday party for one of the women, getting it ready while she took her class at the New Species school. Ellie took charge. The women had made sure they were home to yell at the birthday girl when she entered the library.

  The poor stunned woman jumped a good two feet, looked very confused, but grinned when she realized what they’d done for her. It was the happiest Ellie had ever seen the woman, making it worth every ounce of trouble it had been to plan the surprise party.

  By six o’clock Ellie unlocked the front door to her and Fury’s house. She’d beat him home and ran for the kitchen. She’d hidden sandwiches at the bottom of the fridge earlier that morning after Fury had left to go to a security meeting. She pulled them out, grabbed a few sodas, a bag of chips from the pantry cupboard, and hurried to the bedroom.

  Ten minutes later the front door slammed. Ellie jumped off the bed and darted to the closet. She laughed as she hid inside and waited. Fury always looked for her the second he entered the house. She knew he’d sniff her out pretty quickly and he’d be amused that she’d tried to hide. She heard him coming.

  Ellie tried not to laugh as the closet door jerked open. Fury frowned until his gaze slowly raked down her naked body. She grinned.

  “It took you long enough to find me.”

  “Why are you hiding?”

  Ellie took a step toward him. “I thought I should at least make you work for it a little.”

  “Work for what?” His focus stayed on her bare breasts.

  “Me.” She gripped the front of his uniform. “I thought about waiting on the bed but that was just too easy.”

  Fury helped her remove his vest and shirt and kicked off his shoes. “I like easy.”

  She chuckled. “Did you see the picnic I set out? I thought we could get naked, have dinner together, and then maybe watch some TV. That sounds like a great way to spend our evening,” she teased.

  Fury’s lips twitched. “That’s fine.” He backed out of her range to prevent her from touching him. He unfastened his pants and shoved them down with his briefs. The socks were removed last. Totally naked and aroused, he grinned broadly at her.

  “Let’s eat.” He moved toward the bed.

  Ellie followed him. She sat down on the other side of the mattress cross-legged, facing him, flashing her pussy. Fury’s dark gaze locked on her lap. He took some long, deep breaths and growled low in the back of his throat.

  “What was that, Fury? I didn’t quite understand what you said.” Ellie allowed her amusement to show in her eyes when he looked up.

  “Nothing.” He grinned. “This looks really good. I love roast beef.”

  “I tried to put everything out on the bed that you love.” Ellie licked her lips, letting her tongue slowly trace first the lower seam, and then the top.

  Fury stared at her mouth. He bit into the sandwich, chewed and swallowed it. “Screw this,” he growled and tossed the sandwich aside as he lunged at her.

  Ellie hit the bed on her back, laughing as Fury knocked her over and pinned her under him. “The only thing I want to really eat is you.”

  “What about the game?”

  He nuzzled her neck and brushed his lips on her shoulder. “The only thing I am interested in watching is you.” He cupped her breast, rubbing his thumb over her nipple. “I am fully healed and plan on doing everything I want to you.”

  “Did you lock the front door?”

  “Locked and bolted. I still keep the handgun inside the nightstand drawer too. I’m going to shoot anyone who comes into this bedroom.”

  Ellie raked her fingernails down his back. Fury arched against her body and growled. “Easy. Don’t excite me too much. It wouldn’t take much for me to lose control. I want this to be good for you too.”

  “Do you trust me?”

  Fury didn’t hesitate. “With my life.”

  “Can I be on top?”

  Surprise crossed Fury’s features but lines slowly appeared at the corner of his eyes as he stared at her. “You want to be on top? Am I crushing you with my weight?” He lifted his chest away from hers to put a few inches of space between them.

  She pulled him back down. “You’re never too heavy. I love your skin touching mine and I love being under you. I just want to straddle you.” Her gaze studied him intently. “Breeze mentioned your males won’t allow women on top but I want to be. Will you at least try it for me?”

  Fury’s jaw clenched. “You want me to submit to you?”

  She smiled. “No. I want you to trust me and let me be on
