Heat coursed through her body, raw need threatened to make her knees buckle. Every inch of her was on fire, desire spiraling through her unlike anything she had ever felt before. Her nipples puckered, her pussy pulsed, and the thrumming of her blood echoed in her ears. Her clothes felt too tight, and she fought the desire to rip them from her body, to touch herself to give the sweet release her body needed, uncaring of who was watching.
Suddenly, she was thrown across a shoulder, and moved fast, faster than any human was possible of moving. The darkened background was blurring as it moved beside her, making her feel woozy. So shocked at the speed, it took her a few moments to realize what was happening. Then she began to scream, fight and kick at her captor, keeping her eyes closed against the swirls of dizzying landscape. As fast as he had moved away from the tree line, it was doubtful that anyone would hear her at this point, but she continued to pound her fists against the broad back in front of her.
Throwing a sucker punch into a kidney, she heard the audible ‘oof’ from her captor and he stopped. Suddenly a very large hand slapped her very vulnerable ass cheeks. He moved the hand to rest on the fear-dampened skin of her back. His hand was like a brand on her skin.
“Do that again and I will make you sorry. Very sorry.”
Instantly she knew for certain it was one of the men, and her whole body shivered. Something inside Karli told her it was not Ryden, but his twin. He took off again and continued to run as fast as he could, Karli holding on for dear life as he began to climb rocky terrain. For some reason, she felt calm once they stopped, like she was supposed to be in this place, at this moment. A split second later, he dropped her to her feet at the mouth of a cave.
Karli staggered a little as she caught her footing, and he grasped her waist to steady her, his fingers rubbing against her hips. She wanted to move into him and let him mold her to his body, but there was something very wrong with that sensation. Pulling away, she looked around her in the dark, fear making every molecule in her body scream.
“Why have you taken me?”
“For your protection.”
“My protection? The only thing I need protection from is you apparently!” Standing on the rocky crag, she looked around, not seeing any of the lights of the park in the distance. “Take me back. You do realize kidnapping is a federal offense? There were officers all around the tree-line and I am sure someone saw you take me. You are a caveman! How caveman of you to throw me over your shoulder and run off! And here we are, you depositing me in front of…a cave! You Neanderthal! Take me back now and I will not press charges, if you just take me back right now.” She stammered so quickly, her pitch rising with each word, she hoped he understood anything she said.
“Do you always talk this much?”
“Take me back.”
“Or what?” The low growl that followed his question had her itching to growl back at him.
She hated that she really had no desire to go back at all, she only envisioned herself under him, over him, and beside him…anywhere she could have his cock inside her. The heat radiating off him was enough to make her whimper. “They will…notice I am gone, and…the police will…come after you.”
“Do you really think human laws impact me at all?”
Human laws? “Why did you take me?”
“Were you not listening? For your protection. And for what you are.”
“Okay, I’ll bite. What am I, besides seriously pissed off?” Something about him made her need to fight, regardless of how hot she was for him.
“Very cute.” He smiled as he ran a long finger over the length of her nose. “Your nose bunches up when you are angry and the little lines between your brow furrow. It is a nice look for you.”
“Are we going to play this game all night?”
“You have to admit it’s fun, and the more you argue with me, the hotter your pussy is getting.” His chuckle made the laugh lines around his silver eyes crinkle and she felt more moisture pool in her sex.
Karli opened her mouth in outrage at his words. If he had been anyone else, she would have smacked the sardonic smile right off his face. His utterly gorgeous face. Which led down on lightly tanned skin to his wide muscled shoulders and then on to a magnificent chest that she could clearly through the thin cotton of his tight t-shirt.
Rayne. His name whispered in her mind, just as Ryden’s had. Shaking her head from the sensation, she focused back on the powerful man standing in front of her.
“No, it isn’t… Rayne. Abduction isn’t fun.” She watched as his forehead creased at the sound of the name. When he didn’t correct her, she assumed she was right.
“Well, I can make it more fun.”
With that, he leaned in to kiss Karli, and as he captured her lips she immediately forgot where she was, the questions she had, and the fear that swirled within her head.
His mouth was pure fire, and it melted away all the questions and concerns, until there was nothing but this man holding her, loving her with his mouth. Pulling her into his arms, he carried her into the mouth of the cave and set her down in the dark. Holding on to his arm, she was afraid of the pitch black that enveloped her.
“Can you see in this?” Suddenly a torch was lit and the light nearly blinded her. “Sorry, I forget your human eyes cannot see in the dark. My apologies.”
There it was again. Human. His kisses had dulled her brain, but something screamed from under the surface. Something that tried to wake her from the fog he had placed over her. That something was not strong enough.
Karli watched as he opened a rock door that no man should have been able to move. Her mind raced, knowing she should be running, screaming away from this man…this Lord knows what. But there was something rooting her to this place and she didn’t know what it was, as if she was under some sort of trance. Or maybe it was the staccato beat that was once again thrumming through her body, making her feel alive for once in her life.
Once the door was open, he leaned back to grab the torch from the wall, and followed her through the opening. He closed the door behind them, and she looked around the room. The cave was a large space with two small alcoves. In one alcove was a natural hot spring, and in the opposite was a bed of sorts, mats, furs, and pillows strewn across the floor. A table and two chairs graced the wall between the alcoves, but besides that, the room was bare.
“You actually live in… a cave?” Albeit a damned nice cave.
He snickered. “No. This is one of our safe houses. It was the closest spot for me to take you. And take you I will.” Before the words were barely out of his mouth, he pounced on her, plunging his tongue into her waiting mouth.
All conscious thought left her mind again as he tasted her. Hard hands encircled her waist, pulling her hard against his frame. Her nipples rubbed against his firm chest, the clothing between them too much for her to handle. Evidently, too much for him as well, as he began to peel off her clothing, the ripping of fabric echoing against the light colored stone walls.
Once completely nude, she stood before him, self-conscious, watching him disrobe. Fear leaked in once again and she turned away from him, realizing she was locked in this room with him, and there was no way she would have the strength to move that door. She was not this kind of girl, she did not have sex with random strangers, let alone ones who had abducted her and taken her to his cave like a damned caveman.
Turning away, she looked for ways to escape, the fear too much for her to handle, her brain struggling with the demands of her body. She felt his heat from behind. Rayne encircled her body and as soon as his cock nudged the cheeks of her ass, she was lost to the sensation again, all rational thought evading her. It was if his touch sucked her into his world and made her forget everything else existed. Leaning back, she lost herself in his hands, loving the way he cupped her breasts expertly.
