He’s laughing behind me, and I know it’s only a matter of time before he gets me again. He’s trained for this and he’s fast and that look in his eyes… he’s also hungry.
Part of me wants to let him have me and ravage me because fuck, it would feel so good, but the other part knows it will be even better the more he fights for it and the more I try to run from it.
Confusion clouds my thinking. Knox didn’t sound the alarm and tell the guys where I was.
No. He’s keeping quiet.
Hunting me for himself.
My stomach tightens.
He’s close again. The leaves ruffle behind me, but I don’t turn around.
The clearing is up ahead and I run towards it, pushing past the bushes and trees.
A hand grips around my wrist, spinning me around. I swing my arm, but he’s ready, and grabs it. His hands are wrapped around both of my wrists, and I look down at his beautifully tattooed body. I thought about kneeing him. It would be my only play, but I don’t want to get away from him that badly. Plus, hurting him would hurt me.
He pulls my arms down with a gentle force, pinning them beside my hips just behind my back, and drives me backwards. My back stings as he pushes me up against a tree, his face inches from mine.
“Nice maneuver back there. I wasn’t expecting it.” He’s panting and his eyes are wild. Laser focused.
“Thanks. And I know.” I tilt my chin up defiantly.
A grumble rumbles low in his chest. His eyes are intense and focused on me. “Earlier,” he starts and pauses. “On the stage.” He presses his hard cock against my slick pussy and we both suck in a breath. He lifts my arms above my head, pinning them to the tree, and passes my one wrist to the other, so he has them both in his left hand. “When I said…”
His eyes penetrate mine, my stomach is in knots, and my heart is pounding.
“I meant it.” He rests his forehead against mine and closes his eyes, breathing me in. Breathing us in.
“I love you too, Knox.”
His eyes spring open and there’s a hint of surprise, like he expected me to say something else, or perhaps nothing at all. It’s gone in a flash though, as his lips take mine in an unforgivingly passionate kiss. The emotion laced through the kiss is… breathtaking. Is that the right word? His glimpse of vulnerability makes me want to wrap him in my arms and hold him tightly… after we fuck. Because, priorities and what not.
“Fuck me, Knox.”
“Yes, Madame McKinley.”
I throw my leg around his waist and use my heel to bring him to me.
“You’ve been a bad girl.”
My hand slides down to grab his thick, hard cock. I slowly glide my hand along his length and listen to his breathing stutter.
“A very bad girl.”
When my hand gets to the base of his cock, I continue it down further and rub them over his balls and squeeze gently. He raises on his toes a little.
“Fuck. A very, very bad girl.” He hunches over, nibbling on my neck before he sucks my fevered skin into his mouth. “Trying to trick us. Tease us.”
“I was playing to win.”
“Too bad you lost.”
“Did I?” I push him off me, then dart around the tree. I’ve never seen this side of Knox before. The hunter.
He laughs, standing by the tree watching me run further away from him. My heart is pulsing with anticipation. I know he’s going to catch me, but this running. This running is hot.
I dart to the right and see the clearing up ahead, a small hill with grass that ends at the wall. I’ve run the entire length of the room and can go no further. The second I turn around, Knox is on me. He grabs me, spinning me around and I trip, falling towards the ground. He lurches forward, grabbing me as we both fall, cradling me towards the ground.
