“Do you know what I hunger for?” he asked, the ruggedness of his voice skipping along my skin, goosebumps following in its wake.

“Tell me,” I whispered as he fisted my hair, dragging my lips to within centimeters of his.

“Every inch of you.” Growling, he continued to hover over me as I pressed my hands against his chest, marveling in the electricity soaring through every cell and muscle. I was breathless, my heart racing and all I could think about was his cock filling me.

He rubbed the flat of his hand down my back, cupping and kneading my tender bottom, the earlier spanking leaving me sore and spent. The rush of adrenaline was powerful, the feel of his heated skin unlike anything I’d ever experienced, leaving me burning with extreme desire.

“Then take me.” I barely managed issuing the words and as I stared into his eyes, I could see nothing but blackness, danger. The scent of him filled my nostrils; a muskiness of the forest, the dampness of fresh mud, and the bitter copper of stale blood. When he curled his lip, sharp canines protruded from his reddened gums.

But I wasn’t afraid.

“Forever.” As he crushed his mouth over mine, he lifted me off my feet, thrusting his cock all the way inside. The kiss was savage, brutal in every manner, his tongue dominating mine.

I was captured by a predator, a dangerous and primal man.

He issued several growls as I moaned, undulating against him and the harder he plunged his shaft inside, the more lightheaded I became. I belonged to him. I was his woman.

Required to surrender.

Required to… mate.

He threw his head back and roared, the sound wild and reeking of testosterone, and his cock began to swell.

Bang!

“What the fuck?” I hissed, yanked out of the fantasy.

The hard clunk forced me to jump, my nerves completely on edge. I’d remained agitated the entire evening, no amount of wine capable of calming my anger or my angst. I jerked up from the chair, nearly knocking over the third glass of merlot. I snapped my hand around the dense crystal a mere second before it flooded the various files I’d grabbed from the office. I’d wanted time alone to work on the case, free from prying eyes, questions, and…

Max.

A man of danger.

A man who would take me again and again.

“Damn it.” I half laughed, pressing my fingers across my mouth. I could swear my lips were swollen from the last heated kiss, only that was impossible. I’d allowed the man to get under my skin. I was just as pathetic as Amber accused me of being. I shook my head, staring at my laptop, hissing given the lack of evidence I’d found. Freaking nothing I’d found was helpful.

He really thought I was going to call him, checking in like some wayward high-school girl. To hell with that. I was perfectly safe as long as I had a gun by my side. I took a sip of my wine, thankful to be home. I’d changed into jeans and a flimsy little shirt, finally comfortable. I could do anything I wanted without anyone telling me what to do.

Take that, you incredibly sexy, dominating man.

I groaned before rolling my eyes.

Whoosh! Bang!

“Shit!” I jerked around, scanning the entire room. Given there was almost no wind outside, I wasn’t hearing a twig smacking against the gutter.Get a grip.

I shuddered as another rattling sound occurred, taking cautious steps toward the window. I realized my hand was automatically reaching for my gun, even though I’d left it in my bedroom when I’d changed clothes. Christ, I was terrified of being alone in my own damn house. The recent events, including continuing to believe I’d had an earlier intruder, were weighing heavily on me.

Plus, there was the fact that Max was hiding something significant from me regarding his involvement with the case. I rubbed my mouth before reaching for the blind and peering out. Everything was pitch black, the ugly fog keeping the entire city enshrouded in a blanket of doom.

I bit back a laugh at the ridiculous thought. I was a cop, for God’s sake, capable of protecting myself, which I’d done on more than one occasion. Why the hell was I spooked tonight?

Because you know someone else is going to be murdered.
