“KATIA!”
She is far from danger.
But after time had passed without any sign of her, I rushed down through the brushes. I took each paved stone through the heavy greenery and to the outstretched dock.
By the rocky beach of the lake, I found her clothing and turned to every side with no luck.
“Katia!”
“Yeah?”
I heard from far away, and my chest caved as I exhaled.
With my eyes out to where her voice had traveled from, soft swooshes of water followed. After a few short seconds, her head peeked out from the tall trees that covered the right side of the open lake.
Katia smiled upon seeing me by the shore, but I was too unraveled to return the gesture. I almost felt mad. No, I was furious by my reaction. By her!
“Get out,” I sharply ordered.
She smirked, and instead of listening, she pulled her hair back and into the water. Her arms swayed in rhythm to keep her above the surface as she floated on her back.
“I don’t think so. The water is nice and chilly,” Katia said to the sky.
It was too much. The loss of routine, the sense of lost time, the knowledge that my plan wasn’t coming through. The fear I’d felt, along with my control slipping, was too much. And yet, this woman decided to toy with me.
I didn’t think twice. My shirt hit the muddy shore, and my pants slid off my legs. In just a pair of boxer briefs, I submerged my body into the cool water, following her laughter. I swam underwater as the water stung my heated body. The moment she saw how close I’d quickly closed the distance by emerging to the surface, Katia’s laughter faded as her green gems shined wide. Sensing my dark demeanor, she attempted to distance herself, but it was too late. I’d already gone beneath the depths of the lake, capturing her ankle and pulling her back.
Her legs kicked as I shook the water off my face, watching her arms push against the water, fighting my strength.
Useless.
Now that she’d provoked me, I wouldn’t let her get away.
She tried rolling and kicking her free leg against me, but I caught it too, causing her to use only her arms to stay afloat. With both ankles shackled by my hands, I pulled hard, and her face went underwater by the force. I used the momentum of her body and water and held the back of her knees until my hands reached out and grasped her bare ass.
If her struggle hadn’t already made me hard, her naked and wet silky skin did it.
Katia’s head resurfaced in loud gasps as she coughed out of the chokehold the water had put her in. Her hands quickly shot out to tightly grasp my neck while she caught her breath. When her eyes peered open, catching mine, she stared deeply into me with caution as mine held no humor.
“You are awake,” she spluttered innocently.
A fucking fraud. Nothing innocent was engraved in Katia, and I was more awake than she could possibly imagine.
My hands slipped from her ass to her back and firmly gripped her neck as I swam us closer. My feet touched the muddy ground while remaining underneath the water. With her legs now wrapped around my waist and her tits pressed against my torso, I held her naked skin tighter against me, feeling her, touching her, watching her until I believed shewasbefore me. To ensure my mind wasn’t playing tricks and I’d found her.
Naked, swimming, unharmed.
Her doubtful gaze locked with mine.
“I—”
I stopped her words with my lips, pouring things I didn’t understand, like the touch of fear I hadn’t felt since I was a teen. Or the frustration of knowing I couldn’t lock her and chain her to a cellar. The bitterness and failure to acknowledge I couldn’t seek my revenge for what the Vitellis had taken from me or her.
I had been a fool.
Shemade me a fool.
Because now, I would deliver wrath to whoever tookherfrom me.
