Fuckingfinally, I let her touch me.

Her fingers squeezed my length and it was heaven. It was holy. I was reborn. It pardoned my sins and absolved my shame.

My vision went black with need. I dipped my head. Ran my nose through her hair. She smelled so sweet, like the honeysuckle that covered the stone walls.

I brought my mouth to her ear. “You should go.” My throat worked over a swallow. “You should run. Far and fast. And you should pray I don’t catch you.”

“Why?”

“Because if I do, I won’t just fuck you. I’ll split you open, fill you up and live inside you.” I gave into yet another temptation and gripped her throat. My fingertips toyed with her pulse point, high on the power I held over her. “It won’t be blood pouring through your veins. It will be me. If I catch you, Eve, I will ruin you.”

Eve

I broke into a run.

Not because I didn’t want Roman to catch me, but because Idid.

My bare feet sank into the soil as I took off in a sprint. Adrenaline shot through my body as I rushed through the garlic fields and out of the open gate.

I won’t just fuck you.

The thrill of the chase coursed through me. I pushed harder. Ran faster. My breath came fast and heavy.

I’ll split you open, fill you up and live inside you.

He would.

He would own me. I knew it.

But I would own him, too.

My skin rippled with anticipation, but I didn’t dare look over my shoulder.

I stepped on rocks and hurdled fallen branches. Wind whipped against my face. The night air chilled my skin yet need heated my veins. Need for him. I still felt him, thick and long, in my hand.What would he feel like inside me?

Heavy footfalls sounded behind me.Thud, thud, thud.Masculine feet on hard ground. Goosebumps ran over my flesh.He’s coming.Just like the man in my dream.

I picked up my pace. The stream was only a few feet ahead. My heart threw itself into the chase. I braced myself, held my breath and plunged in. The waist-deep water chilled my bones and froze my skin. My feet slipped on the moss-covered rocks at the bottom of the stream, but I pushed forward. I shoved through the current. My teeth chattered.

Water sloshed behind me right as I reached the other side. My hands gripped the dirt and grass on the edge of the bank. I hoisted myself up and dragged myself out. My wet clothes clung to my skin. The air was even colder now. My bones were still frozen; my feet were still chilled, making it harder to run.

The water stopped sloshing. Footsteps crunched twigs and grass: mine and his.

I reached the first of the trees when strong arms wrapped around me from behind. This wasn’t the grasp of a simple man. This was a mountain of power. A primal beast.

He warned you.

I held my breath. My heart strummed. My muscles screamed with both ache and delight.

“You told me to run.”

“And you thought I wouldn’t chase you?” His words were a dark, deadly growl against my ear.

No. I hoped you would. I dreamed of you, of this, before I ever knew you.

He dragged me against him. One hand moved to my breast, and I shrieked when his fingers twisted my nipple. His teeth skimmed along the fluttering vein in my throat. “Especially when you ran the wrong fucking way.”
