upper arm and jerked her about. Struggling to stay calm, Ally looked up into the face of her ex-husband.
“What the hell are you doing here?” he demanded. “Are you stalking me? You pathetic bitch!”
To her right, the elevator beeped and the doors slid open.
“I’m not stalking you!” she protested, twisting to get away from his painful grip.
“Then why the hell are you here?” Kevin insisted. “Unless it’s to screw up another deal for me?”
“Get your fucking hands off of her,” growled another familiar voice.
Ally gasped and stared while her ex straightened and tried to look down his nose at the man in the elevator. She drank him in with a single look—black leather coat over a black sweater that clung to his deep chest and was tucked into faded blue jeans. She had to smile when she saw the combat boots. You can take the soldier out of the Army…
“Who the hell are you to tell me what to do?” Kevin’s voice chilled her soul and his fingers bit like steel into her flesh.
Her ex’s arrogant, superior tone jolted her back to the situation. She nearly rolled her eyes. That would get him nowhere with the master she knew. Without answering, JW strode from the elevator and gripped the Kevin’s wrist like a vise. Ally watched in satisfaction as pain filled her ex’s face and he released her arm.
“Are you all right?” JW asked, touching her cheek with his other hand.
“I’m fine now,” she replied, smiling up at him.
“I don’t know who the hell you are but when I get to my meeting, I will be sure to have my contacts remove—”
Her ex stepped into the elevator and nearly choked when JW pulled her into the car.
“What are you doing?” he demanded hotly.
“How do you know this ass hat?” JW asked her, pushing a button. His arm held her tightly against him. He sent a suspicious glance at Kevin before looking at her.
“He’s my ex-husband,” she answered, leaning into the strength and protection he offered.
JW raised an eyebrow as his gaze went from her to the nearly apoplectic man on the other side of the car. Ally looked at Kevin’s anger-flushed face and wondered if he was going to have a heart attack.
“Well,” JW murmured. “I have a feeling things are about to get very interesting.”
“Fools,” muttered her ex, straightening his coat and smoothing back his hair. “Just follow me, and you will rue the day you pissed me off.”
Ally clapped a hand over her mouth and unsuccessfully smothered a giggle. Her ex was arrogant enough to assume that they’d just blindly follow him.
“You little bitch!” he snarled, taking a step toward her.
JW tucked her safely against his side and gave the man a warning look. “Touch her again and I’ll toss you out the nearest window.”
“Are you threatening me?” Kevin’s eyes widened in shock.
“Threats are a waste of time. That was a promise.” JW grinned with obvious malice at the smaller man.
“No one threatens me and gets away with it.” If possible, Kevin seemed to puff up even more with his expanding ire.
The elevator came to a stop and the doors opened. Her ex strode out and disappeared down the hall.
JW stepped out, bringing Ally with him. Pulling her to the left where several ficus trees created an alcove, he held her against his chest. For a brief moment, she closed her eyes, feeling herself calm down after the encounter with her ex, and drew strength from him. His hands stroked up and down her back. One cupped her ass while the other caressed the back of her neck.
“Ally. Look at me.”
Hearing the rasp in his voice, Ally felt his cock hardening and pressing against her stomach. She lifted her head and met his gaze. “Yes, sir?”
Amusement twinkled briefly in his eyes at her automatic response. His hand squeezed her ass and she felt her pussy tighten in response. She had to remind herself that she absolutely would not drop to her knees and pull his cock out. No matter how much she wanted to suck him
