Fuck.

As I look up, I can see where she’s heading. What she doesn’t realize is there’s a pond just on the other side of those pines. I’m done. I need her.

I stalk behind her, but I can’t hear her footfalls. So she’s hiding from me.

“Given up yet, sweetheart?” I call out, glancing to each side for her, hitting my palms against each trunk as I pass.

“When I catch you, you’re mine, and I’ll fuck you until you accept that.”

From my right, I hear the sound of rustling leaves, causing me to swiftly turn. I catch a glimpse of her ponytail swaying in the breeze. Closing the distance between us, I seize her by the hips. In response, she twirls around, gripping my t-shirt tightly, causing the collar to rip. My fingers tighten around her throat as I push her against the rough bark, my thigh finding its place between her legs.

“Fuck, Jax,” she says breathlessly. That has my cock throbbing for her.

“Mine,” I say with a smirk.

Her chest heaves as her hot breath beats against my face. Her eyes dart around before focusing on me with a darkness in them.

Her hands push against my exposed chest, and I tighten my grip on her throat. She has driven me to this level of obsession with her.

“You’ve got one chance to stop this, Sofia.” I lower my tone, feeling her heart pound against my palm.

Her arms wrap around my neck, and her legs around my waist, as her lips crash over mine. The shift causes me to stumble back while holding onto her ass as I devour her mouth.

Just like I’ve fucking dreamt of doing for years.

She claws at the remains of my top, ripping it from my body, making the air brush against my sweaty skin.

She tastes just like I remember, like strawberries and mint. With her lips pressed against mine, her fingers tangled in my hair, I lean in closer to intensify our kiss.

She consumes me, lighting a fire within me.

Breaking our touch, she backs away with a mischievous glint in her eye. I lunge towards her before she can turn and grab her by the waist, tucking her against me as we fall to the ground. She backs away on her ass, her eyes never leaving mine as I crawl towards her on my damn hands and knees.

There is only one thing I can do.

Catch her and claim her as mine.

SOFIA

Fuck. The way he’s crawling towards me, stalking me like I’m his prey, has me all kinds of turned on. But, I like this game. So before he can grab me again, I jump to my feet and run as fast as I can. The forest blurs past as I run. My lungs are on fire as his footsteps are relentlessly closing in. I keep going.

I want him to catch me. When I admit it, all of my worries disappear.

I am alive.

With the blood pounding in my ears, I swiftly duck over a low hill and find myself facing a tranquil pond of water.

“Shit,” I hiss.

My body instinctively leads me to the right.

I know he’s close.

My lips tingle with his lingering presence, and the anticipation of his strong arms around me quickens my heartbeat.
