feminine pride. “I’m not yours.”
“ This says otherwise.” Gently, he stroked his bite mark on her neck. “It’s lasted a long time. It’s like your body wants it there.” He smirked and pulled his hand away. “It wants to be marked by me.”
“You wish,” s he said half-heartedly. “Anyway, I could’ve outrun the bear if I had to.”
He snorted. “ You’re fast, but you’re not that fast. I was just about to catch you before the bear ended the game.”
“ Hmm.” She arched a brow at him. “Convenient the bear just happened to appear right when I was winning.”
He barked a laugh. “ Do you think I planted it there?”
“ You could have called it forth.”
“Called it forth? Who am I? Tarzan?” He wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “I’m glad you think I’m powerful, but even I have limits, love.”
She gave him a mischievous smile. “ Maybe I should find a mate with less limits then.”
He s tilled then dropped his arm from around her shoulders and turned to face her. His blue eyes seemed to shine against the dark forest. Intense and dangerous. Had she pushed him too far?
She took a few steps back.
“Looks like someone needs another mark on her neck. Maybe one on the other side.” He stepped toward her.
“No!” she said, giggling.
“Or on your shoulder.” Another step closer. “Maybe a few on your inner thighs.”
She almost moaned. Biting, marking – her clit throbbed so hard she was sure she could come with one stroke.
“Run, little wolf.” He grinned a feral grin. “Run fast. Because if I catch you, you’ll wish you hadn’t challenged me.”
He didn’t have to say it twice. She turned tail and fled. This time, his heavy footsteps were loud behind her. She pumped her arms as she flew through the trees. His hot breath on her neck said he was toying with her.
She should give in. The heat between her legs, the yearning for him to be inside her…it was slowing her down. She wanted this anyway. Why not give in?
A second later, a hard body rammed into her back, making her stumble forward with a yelp. Before she hit the ground, he slid under her, shielding her fall with his body.
They stared at each oth er a moment, panting, Harmony lying on top of his chest. Then he flipped her. Flat on her back in a bed of leaves, she looked up into his heated gaze. He straddled her hips then gathered her wrists and held them at her stomach.
“Now you’re in trouble,” he rumbled.
She couldn’t stop a giggle. “Sorin. Be nice…don’t…”
His wicked smile made her trail off. Without another word, he leaned in to her neck – the side that was unmarked – and bit down.
She half-laughed half-screamed and writhed her body underneath his, trying to dislodge him. He was too heavy. He sucked on the spot and flickers of pain traveled down her body. It ended in a pool of wetness between her legs and the scream turned into a moan. God she wanted to fuck him so bad!
Instead of trying to throw him off, she gyrated her hips against him.
“Ye s,” she whispered.
He sat up and examined the mark, pride radiating in his eyes. “Mine.”
The possessive tone shot straight to her clit. Her breasts felt heavy and goosebumps rose on her skin. “Take off my pants,” she rasped.
His expression changed in a blink. “No. Bad girl.” He tapped her nose.
It took her a moment to realize he ’d denied her. “What?”
“Look.” He pointed behind her.
She followed his gaze. Lights were visible through the trees. And rows of cabins. Shit! They were practically at the camp’s doorstep. In a panic, she scrambled to get free. How did she not see that?
He chuckled and let her go.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” she demanded, rising from the ground and brushing off her clothes.
“No one saw.” He spun her around and helped brush the leaves off her back.
“Ugh. You are such a jerk!”
At that, he gave her backside a smack. “Watch it.”
She scooted away and growled.
