One hand pressed into his chest, the other into his side. Her sharp little teeth nipped at his tongue; his nipped at her lips.
She pulled back; he buried his hand in her hair, cupped her scalp and forced her mouth back to his and let her teeth nip at it.
Damn, it was good. The sharp little sting, a flick of her tongue, and he was ready to come in his jeans. His other hand gripped her jaw, holding her still, his fingers controlling her ability to bite as his lips covered hers, his tongue impaling her mouth with a hunger that should have worried him.
Flickering, inquisitive, her little tongue met his, battling, a heated erotic battle that ended with one of her hands buried in his hair and her breasts pressing into his chest as she turned to him, her legs straddling his hips, rising over him, taking control.
Fuck. He gripped her hips, pulling her down to him, grinding her pussy against his jeans-covered cock. Slender fingers tangled in his hair as she began to ride him, the silk of her pants sliding against his jeans, her heat seeping through and raking over his dick.
Hell. He was going to fuck her. If he didn’t fuck her, he was going to die. Last night wasn’t enough; it had only whet his appetite for more.
He had unclenched his hands from her hips, lifting for her breasts, when suddenly, just that fast, she was gone. Stumbling, whirling around, her hair creating a silken fan as she faced him, pushing it back impatiently.
“Watch Gilligan,” she rasped. “I told you not to do that. ”
“Hell. ” He laid his head against the couch and stared up at the stone ceiling, almost to the point of begging her. Damn, if he’d thought begging her to ride his cock would work, he’d have been on his knees in front of her.
“Yes, hell,” she snapped in agreement. “Find something else to amuse you while you hold me here, Tanner, because I’ll be damned if I’ll stand in for your stupid reruns. ”
He lifted his head as she stalked to the cavern doorway.
“Where are you going?” he called out on a sigh.
“I’m finding my out of here,” she retorted. “Right now. I’ve had enough of you and enough of stone walls. And when I do, I’ll find those stupid trout and shove them up your ass for Jonas. ”
With that, she stalked down the darkened tunnel, soft lights glowing to light her way as Tanner’s lips twitched. If she could find the hidden access, then she was welcome to it.
He picked up the remote and changed channels, chuckling as he caught Gilligan working the bike-powered washing machine.
He might be so horny he was about to explode, but he had time, he assured himself. Time to figure out why she pulled at him, time to figure out how to save her.
CHAPTER 10
Scheme hadn’t found the exit out of the caves, and the dark mood it put her in did little to ease the frustration rising inside her. In desperation, she crawled into the bed, pulled the blankets over her head and prayed for sleep.
Sleep that finally came despite the knowledge that Tanner was naked beside her. Naked and hard and waiting to still the warmth growing inside her. It was a restless sleep though, one plagued by bad dreams and a certainty that Tanner would be the death of her. They followed her, shadowing the landscape of her sleep, until finally, she forced herself awake, and faced the real nightmare.
It was dark.
But her eyes were wide open.
Her eyes were open and her heart was racing as panic began to set in.
It was pitch-black dark.
“Tanner?” She sat up in bed, her fingers clenching in the blankets as she listened.
There was no light, no sound.
“Tanner, where are you?” She was not going to panic.
Forcing the fingers of one hand from the blankets, she felt across the bed, ignoring the tremors beginning to build in her body.
She had been here before, she reminded herself. In the dark, lost, uncertain where she was or what awaited her.
“Tanner, don’t play these games with me,” she snapped, her voice loud in the dark as she found only emptiness on his side of the mattress. “Where are the lights?”
She hadn’t found light switches in the past two days. If they were here, they were very cleverly hidden, just as the exit was.
