“I’ll never forget it. What about it?” He cocked his head to the side, his eyes narrowed slightly as if he were analyzing her.

Her cheeks turned red. “You made a deal with me back then. I had a chance to run, but if you caught me, you would marry me.”

“And I am,” he said. “But I don’t think you’re referencing the terms of that deal. I think you want a chase again.”

Luna’s hand stilled and she bit her lip. She looked up at him, while his fingers dragged along her upper thigh pulling on the fabric of the lacy lingerie.

“I do want another chase, but this time if you catch me, you get to fuck me.” She couldn’t believe the words actually left her lips, but the minute they did, it felt like she was exposing asecret. Now he knew just how much she wanted him if he wasn’t able to guess it before.

His lips pulled up into a lethal grin, one that promised he was going to win.

“Then you better start running.”

Just like that, Luna turned around, ripping the front door open and started running for her life. The cold night air shocked her feverish body. Her feet had a mind of their own, leading her into the woods she had never explored before. The sun was long gone now, replaced with the barely visible moon and a couple of stars in the sky. These woods were uncharted territory, surrounded by dense trees and the rough ground. Her feet would be bruised and scratched up in the morning, but her mind could only think about what awaited her when he found her.

She stepped on top of overgrown tree roots, nearly twisting her ankle in the process. Sweat coated her skin and she wasn’t sure how long she had been running for now.

Her thick breaths escaped while she attempted to keep moving to put distance between herself and the cabin. At this point, she was deep in the forest, unsure if Valerio would even be able to find her out here at all. She paused for a moment, trying to listen out into the forest, but the beating of her heart was loud in her ears, making it difficult to hear anything else. She slowed her breathing, listening in again.

A branch snapping had her taking off again. She couldn’t be sure if it was an animal or Valerio, but at this point they were one in the same. The ends of the teddy dress whipped around wildly with every step she took.

The snapping of twigs and footsteps became more consistent and too close for comfort. She begged her legs to go faster, but it was no use. Valerio was catching up to her; she knew it. The hair on the back of her neck was sticking up, alerting her to the danger that was present.

She couldn’t run anymore; she needed some kind of diversion. Valerio would expect her to continue going deeper into the forest, but he wouldn’t think she would return back to the cabin. With that thought she made a sharp right turn, running straight like that for a few moments before turning back to run the opposite way she had been coming from. Hell, she didn’t even know if this would take her back to the cabin but at the very least it could throw him off.

She started to slow down, her legs aching and lungs burning. She could also see the lights, very faintly, from the cabin. She was close, but not nearly close enough. The trees around her were starting to become more sparse, leaving her exposed. If Valerio was anywhere around there, he would be able to spot her no problem. She pushed herself with one final boost of energy to get there.

Two arms wrapped around her waist, slamming her back into a chest. Luna let out a shocked scream, forcing Valerio to press his hand on her mouth to keep her quiet.

“I caught you,” he growled out. He let go of her mouth, using his hand instead to wrap around her neck and press her into him.

“How did you find me?” she asked, gasping for air. She refused to turn around, knowing what was going to happen now.

“If you run, I will always catch you,” he muttered into her ear, biting on the lobe. His hand drifted down from her waist to the bottom of the lingerie, running his fingers against the bottom of the lacy material. “Especially when the prize is so sweet.”

He lifted the dress up, running his fingers against the exposed skin of her lower stomach where the waistband of the underwear sat. Luna’s breath hitched when he dipped his hand into the panties, finding her clit without any hesitation. She gasped, dropping her head against his shoulder.

“Look how wet you are.” He groaned, rubbing circles around her clit, slipping his fingers down to her slit to collect the moisture that leaked out of her. “Did you want me to catch you?”

She couldn’t answer. All she could muster up were small moans while he slipped two fingers inside her, fucking and stretching her pussy. He bit her ear again. “Do you want me to fuck you?” he asked again, thrusting his fingers quicker.

“Oh God,” she muttered. It was embarrassing how close to an orgasm she already was, but everything was stimulating her. His touch, his body against hers, his words. It was all too much.

“Answer me or I’ll stop,” he threatened, slowing his fingers down. Luna grabbed his arm, keeping it in place.

“Yes,” she gasped out. “Yes, I want you to fuck me.”

He paused his movements, forcing Luna to groan in frustration. Why was he stopping?

He slipped his hand out against her protests, turning her so she could face him now. A chill ran down her spine at the wild look on his face. His eyes were filled with lust. His hair was messy, small glitters of sweat decorating his chest, and the chain around his neck shined under the moonlight.

He looked perfect.

Valerio wrapped his hands under her thighs, hiking her up into his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist, her arms around his neck. “What are you doing?” she whispered.

She could feel his hardness digging into her clit with every step he took, causing delicious pressure.

“I’m not fucking you for the first time in the forest,” he muttered, kissing her. “I’m fucking you in a bed where I can take my time to savor the moment.”
