Fear mixed with arousal, desire and terror intermingling. His entire body shuddered when he caught sight of me, and I wondered if I looked the same.

A predator.

A beast, ready to claim its mate.

I wanted him.

“The more you run, the harder I’m going to fuck you.” The threat came as I cleared the log he’d fallen on with one leap, just in time to see him whipping around a tree. Either he was slowing down on purpose, or he was running out of stamina.

I wasn’t sure which answer I wanted to be more true, because as much as I loved the feel of hunting him through the trees, my cock was so hard it made it almost impossible to think, and the sound of his breath coming in sharp, fast pants just made me jealous.

I wanted to make him make that sound.

I wanted to completely wreck him.

As I came around the tree, I caught sight of him trying to hide behind another. The low rumble of satisfaction that ripped through me was almost too much to hold back… but I managed to quiet my footsteps and circle around him.

In the silence, as I held even my breath so he couldn’t figure out where I was, Kai’s whispered curses came through clearly.

“Fuck… fuck, this is so stupid. I… oh, shit.” And then he took a shuddering breath like he was preparing to take off again.

I moved before he had a chance, spilling around the tree and catching his fist to my face. The pain that rocked through me was nothing compared to the adrenaline, and the sound that came from his throat when I tore his shirt up and over his head was a balm to whatever injury he might have left behind.

Kai struggled, trying to fight me off like instinct alone was driving him… but the second I ripped his pants down his hips and flipped him around to press him against the rough bark of the tree he’d tried to hide behind, I felt his body go quiet.

Still.

Like he knew this was right—that this was fated, that it had been from the moment we were both created.

“Oh, fuck. Fuck.” The low hiss of his curses spilled out when I tore the clothes from my body and rocked my hips forward. I hadn’t been lying to him when I told him I wasn’t going to be gentle, and judging by the oil practically slicking his thighs, I could tell he’d been generous in prep.

Good.

I wanted to take him hard and rough.

I thrust forward in one quick, smooth motion, and Kai’s hands slammed onto the bark of the tree. The low moan that tore from his throat felt like it coated the night air, thick and sweet and trying to drown me.

I wanted more.

I needed more.

I pulled back and drove into him harder, and that sound tore out again. Kai slapped the bark one more time, but by my third thrust, he’d brought his hands back to wrap them around my neck, tangling them in my hair. With his body pressed against the tree and his shoulders dropped back, I had perfect access to his throat.

Perfect access to everything I’d ever wanted, and I could see his pulse jumping just beneath his skin like it was begging me totake it. My hips bucked into him again, a forceful motion that sent the air punching from his lungs in the sweetest symphony and he gasped the wordsmoreandharderwhen he could manage.

“I’m going to fill you, Kai. Fuck. I’m going to knot and fill you, breed you until your body knows who it belongs to.”

In a sudden burst of strength I hadn’t expected, he shoved off from the tree. It sent me spilling backward, but Kai was on me before I hit the ground. He crawled up my thighs and slid across my dick, rocking his hips and lining himself up so he could take me back inside him.

“Damn it. My body alreadyknows who it belongs to, Nash. So stop being all talk and fuck me until I can’t breathe.”

The demand was given with blazing eyes and fingers digging into my hair, and I took him at his word. I flipped him so his back was to the ground and started to fuck him in earnest. This was exactly why I’d been taking my time the past few days tasting and touching him, because I knew tonight would be hard and fast, primal and brutal.

And judging by the way Kai’s eyes widened and his body surged up to meet mine when he took my mouth in a vicious kiss, I knew that was exactly what he wanted.

I fucked into him until I could feel the pleasure starting to trickle and tingle through my body, until I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold on any longer. When I lifted my head, Kai was already baring his neck to me, like he knew exactly what I wanted.

What I needed.
