Page 9 of Captive Mate

He took a deep whiff and I was thrown by the way his eyes rolled into the back of his head, his nostrils flaring as if my scent was the best fragrance in existence. Heck. I wasn’t certain if I’d dabbed on perfume this morning or not. When he opened his eyes again, I was shocked at his long eyelashes and the change in his irises. It was impossible to put into a neat sentence. They were simply incredible, keeping me mesmerized by their beauty.

“You are a gorgeous human, perhaps the most beautiful human I’ve ever encountered.”

His voice was gravelly, sending another series of sensations dancing down my spine. “Thank you. That was very nice of you. However, that doesn’t mean I want to partake in this fantasy. Hear that, droid?”

He reached out and it was as if his fingertips radiated white-hot heat. They did. As soon as he brushed the tips down my cheek, I was thrown into an indescribable moment. As if by a single touch, I suddenly belonged to him. Whoa. Whoa. This was just a fantasy. My fantasy.

I needed to figure out how to escape. There had to be a zone in this very realistic space where I could get to a holograph or something.

The expression on the beast’s face suddenly changed. I could swear he’d easily read my mind and the nefarious plans I had.

“I can tell all humans need discipline, including ones as breathtaking as you.” With his words stated with absolute authority, he tossed me over his shoulder as if I weighed nothing. Then he proceeded to walk toward the edge of the cliff.

“What are you doing? You can’t do this!” I pummeled his back, marveling at his muscular structure. He was strong as an ox, his shoulders so broad it seemed as if he could place a car on them. I lifted my head, gasping from utter terror as the heat continued to build from deep within me.

“I own this planet. I can do anything I want.” The sound of the embers popping was louder than before, assaulting my eardrums.

“But… But… We’ll die. That’s a fire. Lava.” I had to yell, trying desperately to get out of his hold.

“And I’m a god, little human. Soon you will learn how powerful I am.”

“For this fantasy? This is insane! This isn’t what I ordered at all.”

When the beast cracked me on the bottom with his hand, I was thrown into another wave of shock. “No, little human. Soon, you will become my mate.”

Mate?

Was this creature thing out of his blessed mind? I was no one’s mate.Remember what he promised in the dream.Oh, lordy. Before I could react, I felt another explosive wave of heat.

That’s because he’d stepped off the cliff and as soon as he did, I let out a high-pitched scream.

But for a massive man, he landed softly, not jarring me in the least. And a benefit: we weren’t burned to a crisp. That didn’t mean he let me go. Nope. His hold was firm as he took long strides. While the area was similar to where we’d come from, there were plants and strange-looking trees, alongside buildings whose architect and builders should have been fired.

I was thinking crazy thoughts, which was what I’d always done, even allowing them to pop from my mouth from time to time. I thought it was endearing. My mother has said it would be annoying to boys. Maybe she was right and that’s why I’d had so much trouble with them.

Suddenly, there were others just like him. How could I not have noticed we’d entered a building of some kind? There were strange lights everywhere preventing me from gathering a focused look at the creatures’ faces, but I did notice they bowed to him as we passed. Maybe he really was a god of some kind.

When one of them spoke to him in a language I couldn’t understand, I was shocked. Had my mind entered into a world-building event including inventing a different language? Holy crap. I was good at this fantasy thing.

The godlike beast answered the man before shifting inside another location, one that was much quieter than where we’d come from. I was hopeful he’d set me down. As soon as he did, I had plans on racing away from him.

But as I lifted my head again, I knew I was in way over my head. I couldn’t see a way out. I’d suddenly become his prisoner. He placed me on my feet, facing me almost immediately. Then he gave me another look, this time one that I sensed scrutinizing. After furrowing his brow, he wrapped his fingers around my top.

And ripped it down the front, yanking the unwanted material off completely. I yelped, immediately trying to cover my naked breasts. “What in God’s name do you think you’re doing?”

“Punishing you.”

I should have paid more attention to covering other parts of me. Before I knew what he was doing, he’d ripped off my pants, lifting me in his arms and tugging off my tennis shoes.

“Hey. Don’t you dare tear those apart! They’re special. And this wasn’t part of my fantasy. I’m not into punishment.”

Shit. Shit. Shit. I’d agreed. Oh, this was getting so out of hand and far too realistic. I knew exactly what my bestie Tory would say. “What do you have to lose in going with the flow?” She’d been pushing me to drift out of my comfort zone for as long as I could remember. Live a little. Yeah, walk on that wild side. Only the side I’d landed on appeared to be one full of danger.

Maybe that’s what I wanted, a big, muscular alpha male to take what he wanted, ravishing me over and over again. I was suddenly breathless, the anticipation of what he was going to do pushing to the forefront of my mind.

Heat flooded me from extreme embarrassment and even though I tried to keep my nakedness covered, my arms suddenly fell to my sides. I could swear there was an entire electric field surrounding the beast, sparks flying off his skin as he studied me. The low, rumbling growl became more carnal as he took a step back, walking around me in a full circle to feast on his prize. I should feel like nothing more than a piece of meat, but it was exactly the opposite.

I’d never felt so appreciated in my entire life. I was burning up inside, as electrified as the creature, my heart thudding in my chest.
