Sin (The Waite Family) (33 page)

“You’re in love with her
,
aren’t you
,
son
?
” his mother asked from the gurney they were latching down to the floor of the squad.

He looked back at her.
“Yes
,
ma’am
,
I certainly am. And I’m going to marry her as soon as we can get a license too.”
He laughed when she tisked at him. “Mom, she’s wonderful and I want to spend the rest of my life with her as soon as I can start it.”

“I don’t think you waiting for me to
plan
a proper wedding with her family will be
that
much of a hardship on you.”
She opened her mouth
when
the
EMT
told her to
.
As soon as the thermometer was gone she picked up right where she left off.
“Who is her family anyway?”

Coop simply threw back his head and laughed.
“Oh, you’re going to love them.”

~Chapter

Sin listened to Captain Grant
r
ant at her. She didn’t say much back to her.
She knew when to keep her mouth shut
,
contrary to popular belief.
The woman was majorly pissed off and it didn’t take a college degree to see that.
But at what
,
Sin wasn’t so sure about.

“And now I have a wounded shooter running around
and
I don’t know where he’s at and I don’t have any
idea
how badly he’s hurt.”

Oh yeah, Sin thought, there was that.
“By the amount of blood, I’d say not so much.
He’s probably holed up somewhere licking his wounds until he thinks it
’
s sa
f
e to come out.”

“And you know a great deal about blood…
never mind. I don’t want to know.
I’m putting you on notice
,
young lady. If I hear you’ve so much as jay walked I will bring you in on charges so quickly that your head will spin.”

Sin nodded. “Yes
,
ma’am.
But I would like to say one thing if I can.
Sort of need to point something out.”

Cait glared and Sin tried her best not to grin.
“You say something stupid and I won’t be held responsible for what I do to you.
You speak to your commanding officer this way?
If so, then it’s small wonder that he didn’t—
”

“She had no respect for me whatsoever,” David said behind her.
“She was by far the worst
solider I’ve ever had and also the best leader.
Hello again
,
Captain Grant.
”

“Hello. She is a tyrant.
I have a dead cop and no way of knowing who the fuck he is because someone”
—s
he looked pointedly at Sin
—
“
t
ook it into their head to use him as a shield.”

Sin snorted.
“I suppose you thought I should just let whoever was shooting at me kill me?
Hardly.
Besides, you saw what he’d done to Mrs. Cooperider.
And the girl…I don’t think I know her name.”

“Shaller Hall.
Captain Grant, David,
” Payton
said as he came up beside her.
The ambulance drove off, sirens and lights making the early morning shoppers on
alert if the way they were moving about was any indication
.

“As I was saying,” Sin tried again.
“
You told me not to get a civilian killed.
I didn’t.
I didn’t even get myself hurt, much to your dismay. Instead of beating me up about this, why don’t you flipping say thanks
?
You know what?
I don’t give a shit.
I’m going home.”

She was nearly to the car when a cop stopped her. She could have hurt him
,
but didn’t.
Her mood was just that close to the edge that she wasn’t sure that she’d be able to just hurt him a little.

“What the fuck do you want
?
” Sin snarled at him inst
ead.
“Unless you’re planning to arrest me, I would suggest you back the fuck up and get out of my way.”

He swallowed twice before he spoke.
“The captain…Captain Grant said that you have to come down to the station house.
She said…I’m supposed to tell you she needs your fingerprints.”

Sin turned back to see
Payton coming toward her and the captain yelling at David.
She looked back at the officer. “Tell her that she can get them from David Patterson. I’ve had a long night and if you try to stop me you’d better sho
o
t me because I’m going around you or over you
. I
t’s entirely up to you.
”

She suddenly needed to get away. Far away
,
and she didn’t want anyone around her right now.
She started to stretch
,
but only got as far as bringing her hands up over her head before she felt someone push her against the car in front of her. Before she could turn on the person, she heard Payton at her ear.

“Either get in on your own or I’ll put you in. I’m in no mood to fuck around with you at the moment.”

“Let me go.
I’m going to run and I don’t want you near me.”
She struggled in vain to get away
,
but he had his body pressed completely over hers and there was no give on the car.
“Get the fuck off me or so—
”

His cock pressed in her ass.
She felt her pussy cream up and her nipples tighten in her bra.

“
I take you here or we find somewhere more private.”
His hot breath heated her already sensitive skin as he growled at her.
“I’m too close to not caring where I am when I do it.
Get in the fucking car.”

She did
,
but not without trying to hurt him first.
But before she
tried again she took a good look at him. He was pissed. Not just pissed
,
but really pissed. She jerked away from his grip on her arm
,
walked to the other side of the car
,
and got in.
Well, she thought, she wasn’t any happier with him either.

They drove for about ten minutes
,
neither of them saying a word.
When they pulled up in front of a hotel downtown she nearly said something
to
him
,
but stopped when he spoke.

“You had better be telling me that you’re going to be naked as soon as we’re in a room or
hell will be paid.
I want to fuck you so badly right now you’re going to be sore for a week when I
’m
through.”

She sat there
,
stunned
,
when he got out and went into the office.
She was still sitting there when he came back and drove to the back of the lot.

“I’m not sleeping with you, you
arrogant
prick.
I want you to take me home. I’ve had enough of this shit to last me two
lifetimes
.”

Actually
,
she wasn’t sure why she was so pissed at him.
But it was boiling just there at the surface.
He got out of the car and came to her side.
When
he
w
renched the door open and pulled her out she tried to fight him
,
but he simply
rammed
his shoulder into her belly and tossed her over his shoulder.
The hard smack on her ass had her seeing stars.

“You are going to pay for that
,
you asshole. No one beats my ass and gets—
”
She was suddenly airborne and bounced twice on the bed before he was on top of her.
She didn’t even have time to scream before his mouth was over hers.

Need exploded in her.
When she felt him clawing at her clothes she
tried to push his hands away and do it herself when
he grabbed her hands and clamped them in his.

“Don’t move. I swear to Christ. I need to do this my way.
I need to…Christ, Sydney
,
I need to fuck you hard.”

He tore at her clothes.
She felt his hands pulling at her pants
.
When they were just open, his hand snaked into them and he plowed his fingers deep into her panties and into her slit. She nearly came off the bed.

“Fuck
,
you’re wet.
I need to be inside of you now
,
baby. I’m sorry
,
but I can’t be nice right now.”

He tore her bra away
,
took her nipple into his mouth
,
and bit.
Screaming out his name
,
she began riding his finger as he sucked her nipple harder and harder. She was so close
,
but knew in some way that he’d punish her if she
came
. She struggled to get away from him and when he jerked his hand from her pussy and flipped her over onto her belly she
tried
to scramble away.
Her
jeans and panties came down quickly and he swatted her ass again.
Pain and pleasure shot th
r
ough her as he yanked her clothes off.
When he pressed his
finger
over her puckered ass she stilled.
