Chapter 12
Drake headed straight for the showers. He needed a cold one to deal with his blasted cock. Feeling her underneath him, moving against him as he kissed her, her scent, her moan of pleasure...just the thought had some of his semen leaking from his tip. He shrugged out of his pants and realized he had left his shirt and boots in the gym. Fortunately had a spare set in his locker.
As soon as he entered the shower stall, the water started and adjusted to a warm temperature. Warm wasn’t what he needed. He reached for the digital buttons and reduced the temperature down. It should have worked, but he kept picturing Jinx with her beautiful eyes, naked as he took her hard.
“Damn it!” He took hold of his cock a little harder and began stroking himself. He braced his other arm against the shower wall and closed his eyes. Drake pictured her naked doing those stretches. He fantasized about taking her while she was bent over.Yes.He would slap that surprisingly shapely ass until it was a lovely shade of pink.
He imagined that her channel would be tight, but would accommodate him nicely. Another image came to him of him taking her against the shower wall, her body sleek from the water and her nipples tight little nubs, pressing sweetly against his chest. He moaned, quickening his strokes until his release shot out against the wall. He felt it through his whole body.
Washing off the evidence of his release, he frowned. He hadn’t masturbated like that in a long time. If he felt a need for a woman’s company, he simply went to the club or a bar and flirted with a willing female. He always made sure to pleasure the women first, he took pride in that. He liked women and respected them. The females he chose to be with knew he wasn’t seeking anything more and were okay with it. Afterward, he would thank her and walk away without any hard feelings. Jinx was different, special and damn complicated. She was not ano stringstype of female.
When he walked out of the shower the water turned off a few seconds later after spraying a cleaning disinfectant. He stood in the next stall and spread his arms out as the dryers turned on. He was ready to dress within seconds.
As Drake was pulling on his clothes, his cellphone went off. He took it out and frowned. It was Vic letting him know that they had a perp that just skipped out on his mandatory check in and missed his day in court. The guy was going to run. Good, he needed something to distract him. He headed back upstairs to the tech supplies. Isaac was already there, pulling out equipment for him. He frowned when he noticed that Isaac was helping Jinx put on a vest with a gun holster.
“Whoa, what’s going on here?”
Jinx looked up and smiled at him. “I’m going with you.”
“No you’re not.”
Vic walked up to him. “Is there a problem?”
Drake crossed his arms over his chest. “Jinx seems to think that she’s coming with me. She hasn’t completed her training yet.”
“This is a prime track and retrieve case. She’s passed the shooting. How did she do with the hand to hand?”
Drake sighed but answered honestly. “She passed it.”
“Great,” Vic beamed, “There’s no better assessing for tracking than in the field.”
Drake just stared at Vic who stared back.Damn it!He was going to have to take her with him. “Fine, but she is to observe only.”
Jinx didn’t like that at all. “Hey now, I have skills and I’m ready for this.”
Vic put his hand on her shoulder, “This is Drake’s case; you follow his orders. If you can’t do that, then we may have to extend your training and reschedule your assessments.”
Drake watched as color rose to Jinx’s cheeks. She didn’t glance at him at all, but gritted her teeth and answered. “Fine.”
Vic glanced from her to Drake. He nodded his agreement, then Vic looked at Jinx one more time. “Watch, listen, and learn. I know you’re anxious to prove yourself, but take this time to learn all you can. Don’t take any chances with your life, little one.”
Jinx’s disgruntled expression faded at the sound of his concern for her. She smiled at him and nodded. “I’ll be careful.”
Vic walked away. Drake got a weird feeling in the pit of his stomach when Vic called herlittle one. It felt...wrong and he didn’t like it at all. Drake had called her little one earlier, and it felt natural. He wanted that to be his nickname for her that onlyheused.
Grabbing the gear he needed Drake looked at Jinx, “Let’s go.” He headed for the door without looking back at her.
*****
Damn son of a bitch!Jinx almost had to jog to keep up with his long strides. Drake was being a complete ass. She still felt humiliated when he tried to keep her from going along with him on his case. Vic had to intervene, and then she was told that she would be there to observe only. If Drake had his way, she wouldn’t be going at all. Well, she wasn’t going to let him screw things up for her. No way in hell!
“So, who’s the fugitive?” she asked, having to pull herself up into his new hover truck.
“The guy’s name is Derrick Roberts. He’s got four priors; auto theft, breaking and entering, public disturbance, and damaging property. He served five years, then was released for good behavior. His current arrest was for causing a public disturbance, attack of a public figure and...indecent exposure.”
Jinx looked over at him. “Seriously? He got arrested for beingnaked?”
“He went to the local church during an evening service drunk and bare-assed naked. Sat down next to the mayor and his wife, then threw up on the mayor’s wife before passing out.”
