“Stop being a pervert and work with me to escape—”

“That’s the part you’re not getting.” I formed my mouth into a cruel smile. “Now that I have you on this island with me. . .why would I want to escape?”

Her whole body went still. “What?”

“You heard me.”

“Havoc, that’s insane. Clearly, you want to get free—”

“I don’t. You met me with a big bounty on my head and a long line of assassins. Why would I want to go back to that sick, twisted world of death, when I could live with you here?”

She trembled. “You’re insane!”

“Shh.” I moved my hand and covered her mouth. “My sanity is not yours to question, Onyx.”

Mumbling behind my hand, she tried to pull away once more but I only tightened my grip on her, making sure she knew she was stuck with me.

“No more talking, wildcat.” I leaned in closer until we were cheek to cheek.

She was a fiery furnace against my cool skin, her breaths erratic and sharp.

“But you want to talk about those boot prints. Well, wildcat, I’ll tell you what I thought.”

She went still.

“I think we are not alone on this island. There is at least another man here, and. . .because I will not share you. . .I will kill him.” I looked at her cheek and licked it, tasting sweat and heat. “Yummy.”

Terror radiated off her shivering body, and I swore it just further fed my dark hunger.

“And now for my promise.” Slowly, I dragged her down to the ground.

She struggled.

Of course.

Onyx was never one to submit easily. Her legs kicked out, and her body twisted and thrashed in a desperate attempt to break free.

But I was learning her moves now.

Every move she made, I now anticipated, dodging her frantic blows with the ease of someone who had been hunting her for far too long.

She was strong, but I was stronger.

And her efforts only amused me.

As I pushed her down onto all fours, she sank her teeth into my hand.

The sharp pain only enhanced my desire, hardening my cock like granite.

She was truly a wildcat, and that made the chase all the more exhilarating.

Not caring about her sharp teeth embedded in my palm, I pressed my hand harder against her mouth, muffling any other protest she might make and leaning in close, my lips brushing against the soft shell of her ear. “I can’t wait to be inside you.”

She took those teeth out of my palm and stilled her body against me.

I whispered in her ear and pressed my hard cock against her ass. “You didn’t really think you could get away from me, did you?”

I felt the subtle shift in her body, telling me that her surrender was inevitable.
