Rage (Galactic Cage Fighters) (18 page)

Rachel moved slowly. It took real effort to pick her feet up and move them forward
, step by step. When her shuttle had first landed at the spaceport, her spirits were flying. She couldn’t wait to get to Rage. She had thought of all the ways she would show him how she felt about him. She planned to seduce him and give him such pleasure that he’d never want to let her go again.

Now, she dreaded seeing him. If he was back with Zara, she didn’t know what she would do. Maybe she could go back to her old job. But it no longer held the same appeal
for her anymore. The whole time she was away, she was consumed with her need to be with Rage.

She stopped just inside the entranceway to the training facility, moving to the shadows to watch. She didn’t want him to see her yet. She wanted to verify
whether he was with Zara first. No point in embarrassing herself if he had moved on.

She watched the two figures on the mat circling each other. They were both tall and dark haired. They made a beautiful couple. A single tear rolled down her cheek but she quickly brushed it off. She made herself keep watching.

Zara lunged at Rage. He blocked her, grabbed her by the arm and spun her around. He pulled her up against his hard chest, locking his forearm around her throat. Just like what he had done with her that first time. Except Rachel had been clueless how to break the hold. Not so for Zara.

The tall amazon easily broke the hold and dropped low enough to grab his legs, pulling them up. Rage fell on his back hard. Zara jumped on him straddling him.

Something inside Rachel broke. Instead of running away to sulk over the hurt she felt, she went forward at full speed. She tackled Zara, knocking the other woman off of Rage. She wouldn’t be surprised if her eyes were red and steam was coming off her head.

“Whoa
, human, what are you doing?” Zara asked, breathless.

“You stay away from him! He’s mine!” Rachel would have pummeled the other woman
, but she was lifted up off her feet by Rage. She dangled in the air as he held her to him. She struggled to get loose, but he wouldn’t let go.

“Rachel, calm down.” Rage couldn’t believe she was here, and in his arms.

Zara stood up smiling. “Don’t worry human, he never felt for me what he feels for you, and I never felt for him what you feel. He’s all yours.”

“Damn straight!
And it’s RACHEL!” she yelled at the woman’s back as she walked away.

Zara chuckled, “Rachel
Starberry, good to have you back.”

“It’s not Starr
, it’s …” Rachel didn’t get to finish. Zara had already left the training facility.

Rachel was breathing hard,
and a part of her wanted to go after Zara and hit her again. Another part of her could not believe she had just attacked the Amazon over Rage. Damn it, the man made her crazy.

“You can put me down now,” she told him
, not looking back at him.

“No, I don’t think I will.” Rage squeezed her against him. His woman was in his arms and he was never going to let her go again. She felt so good, so right.

She squirmed in his arms, then stopped when she felt his arousal pressing against her ass. “Rage …”

He didn’t say anything. He picked her up higher, flipped her around and threw her across his big shoulders. He stormed out of the training facility
, carrying her with him. They walked past Zen, Hammer, and Taurus on their way in.

“Rage! People are staring.” Rachel pushed at his back.

He refused to put her down. He didn’t look at the other men as he told them, “I’ll be unavailable for the next 48 hours.”

“Only 48 hours? You’re slowing down
, old man,” Zen called after him, causing the other two men to snicker.

Rage didn’t put her down even when they got into the elevator. She tried to talk to him but his response
was to slap her backside. It shut her up, but it also aroused her. Rage rubbed the spot that he spanked, making her even wetter.

He kept hold of her as he entered his suite. He took her to his bedroom and threw her on the bed. She tried to get up and make her way to the door but he grabbed her and threw her back down on the soft mattress.

“Rage, let me go.” Her voice was shaky.

He shook his head and started to remove his clothes. Rachel couldn’t look away. Every inch of skin he exposed had her licking her lips. She had imagined him so many times in her mind while she was gone, but nothing compared to the real thing.

“Two weeks, Rachel. I’ve waited and longed for you for two very long weeks. I couldn’t sleep without dreaming of you. Imagining your hot little body beneath mine. I would wake needing you and nothing I did to alleviate my discomfort helped.”

“Is that what you were doing with Zara? Alleviating your discomfort?” She moved further up the bed to press her back against the headboard.

“What?” He had just managed to get his shirt off and paused at her strange question.

She looked away. She knew that her face was red from blushing. She felt so vulnerable even though she was fully dressed and he was bare chested.

Realization dawned on Rage.
She was jealous
.

Chapter 20

A warmth filled his very soul. She would not feel that way if she didn’t care for him. He gave her a devious smile and resumed taking off his pants.

“I have not thought about, much less touched, another woman since I met you, Rachel. You are all that I want. All that I will ever want.”

She looked into his dark eyes. He sounded so sincere. “But you hate humans.”

“I am completely and utterly in love with one small human and she has control over my very soul.”

“Rage,” she whispered with emotion. She
got up on her knees and made her way across the bed to him.

He leaned down with one hand on the bed and the other hand gently cupped her face. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. “Why are you crying?”

“I just love you so much. I was afraid that … that you had moved on with someone else.”

“Moving on from you would be impossible. You are my life, my sole reason for living. Without you
, I am a shell of a man. I was about to come hunt you down. I even talked to the GCFA board about becoming a talent scout and part time trainer so that I would have more time to be with you while you work for the IDJ.”

She laughed through her tears. He looked at her strangely. “I spoke with the GCFA board about heading up their security during the circuit so that I could travel with you while you f
ight.”

Rage laughed with relief and genuine joy. “You would do that for me? Leave the IDJ?”

She nodded and smiled. “You are
my
life. You own my heart and soul.”

“And your body, I own your body as well.” He whispered to her as he bent to kiss her. It was the most gentle he had ever been with her. He held her face as if
she were made of glass and his lips were soft and warm. His heart was in this kiss. She loved it. She loved him.

Soon the gentle kissing turned harder, deeper. Their need to be closer sprung up with a vengeance. She needed to be skin to skin. He was only wearing his underwear. She was
fully dressed. She started to tug at her own clothing, wanting it off.

Rage helped her tear her shirt open and
then fling it to the floor. She was wearing tight jeans that were definitely hot, but they had to go. He unhooked her top button and slid her jeans, along with her underwear, down her smooth legs. She now only wore a tiny red bra that barely held her large breasts in. The bra hooked in the front. He quickly unsnapped the hook and pushed the offending material away.

She loved the way he looked at her. It
made her feel beautiful and desirable. She lay back on the bed, opening her legs for him to see everything. She had learned that being in the submissive position could be quite advantageous.

His eyes darkened as he took in her pale exposed flesh. “Mine,” h
e growled.

“Yes, I’m yours and you are mine.” She opened her arms for him to fill them.

He lowered himself to her, pressing his chest against hers. He felt her nipples harden. This time when he kissed her, he devoured her. He soaked up her moans and cries of pleasure. He began rocking his shaft against her wet entrance.

“You will never leave me again.”

She lifted her bottom up, trying to get him to enter her. “Never again.”

He plunged into her to the hilt. He stopped there and stared down into her beautifu
l blue eyes. Eyes staring at him with love and desire. He would do anything, be anything she needed.

“Please
, Rage,” she begged, trying to shift under him to get him to move.

His eyes turned completely black. “Not yet.”

His inner beast was there, staring at her through his eyes. For some reason she assumed they were two entities. That was how he talked about it. But now she realized they were two sides of the same coin. His beast was always there, just hidden. But he wasn’t hiding anymore. She was seeing him, all of him.

She felt his cock growing larger inside her
, pushing against her inner walls. His shoulders and arms grew, as did his legs. The full feeling he created in her made her want to come. She had to fight her building need. What was he waiting for?

“Rage
… I love you,” she whispered, staring at his dark eyes.

“I love you,” he responded with an emotion
-filled voice. Then he began moving slowly in and out of her tight warmth. He had never felt anything so wonderful. He would marry her as soon as possible, making her his before the world.

Epilogue

“We recovered four of the women. But three are still missing,” Rachel told Rage as he held her in his arms. They had made love all night and most of the morning. Rage wouldn’t let her leave the bed except to visit the bathroom. They were snuggled together while Rachel regained her strength so that they could continue their mating.

“The IDJ will find the others.” Rage reassured her while pulling her tighter into his embrace.

“Have you heard from Talon?” Rachel was concerned for the safety of the other man who had quickly become her friend.

“He sent me a text stating that he saw Lindy. It was brief, but then she was gone. That
was three days ago. I haven’t heard anything else.”

“I have Trig looking
, too. He told me that if he finds Lindy or Talon he would let me know immediately.”

They were silent, holding one another close. That could have been them.
If Tipin and Resa had succeeded in taking Rachel, it could have been Rachel missing and Rage out there looking for her.

“Rage
…”

“I know. Talon will find Lindy. He won’t give up until he does. Just like I would never give up looking for you.”

“I would never give up on you either.”
