“Stay away. I’ll heal on my own,” he answered tensely. His muscles rippled from the struggle to hold back. His entire body trembled with it.
I took a step forward, wanting to help him. To cleanse his wounds and bandage him up in thanks for his rescuing me.
I didn’t really think about the consequences. I should have heeded his warning.
His controlled expression wavered. His nose sniffed at the air. His fists clenched at his sides. His skin slowly deepened in color, red like the setting sun. At once, he looked more beast than man. Every fiber of his body screamed danger to me.
“Run, human. Run before it’s too late,” he snarled, his eyes wild.
Chapter Two
Cosima
I took a step back. The alien before me had turned from controlled humanoid to feral beast in a matter of seconds. His eyes were dark. And I knew I was doomed.
I turned to run, but he was so much faster than me. I never stood a chance.
I didn’t even make it out of the cavern before he gripped me around the waist and slammed me down on my back on the mattress. He didn’t caress me slowly; his hold was hard, bruising, and entirely savage. He braced himself above me, staring down at my eyes for a split second before his lips fell to mine.
This wasn’t about foreplay. He was going to take me, whether I wanted it or not.
I shouldn’t have ignored his warnings. He wasn’t going to take no for an answer now.
His kiss was brutal, his mouth demanding my submission to him. His tongue speared into my mouth and consumed me. He pulled back for a short moment, his eyes roving up and down my body, ravenous for more.
I didn’t know how to react. I was scared. I didn’t want him, but then I did. My body screamed to fuck him, but my mind recoiled.
“Please, don’t,” I begged.
He didn’t speak or reply in return. Instead, his lips kissed me more savagely. Instinctually, I tried to pull back, but there was nowhere to go. He was on top of me, large, powerful, and about to fuck me and I couldn’t do anything about it.
He nipped at my throat, his tongue curling against my skin salaciously and I breathed low, my flesh tingling with electricity at his touch.
His mouth laved at my breast, his hands roving over me as his thumb brushed over my nipple. My back arched and I moaned softly, unable to help myself. My skin felt like it was on fire, the heat of his flesh pressing against mine.
My core throbbed with reluctant excitement. My fingers and toes shook with anxiety.
Would he kill me? Would he just fuck me and then let me go when he was satisfied? I didn’t know. I could bet he didn’t know either.
My breath ripped in and out of my lungs, my rising panic and desire twisting into one.
Fuck. I couldn’t get away. There would be no escape for me.
He growled again, only this time the sound was much lower in his throat. Like a purr, it settled me just a little and I didn’t fight him. He did it again and my pussy clenched with need.
My blood felt like it was about to boil out of my veins. His touch was like fire, moving across my skin and taking what he wanted, squeezing, pinching, and claiming every last inch as his. His movements were like that of a predator, about to ambush and take down his prey. There was something decidedly feral about his demeanor.
And for some ungodly reason, I found it rather hot. I was getting turned on at the darkness in his eyes and the fact that I had lost complete control. No matter what I did now, he was in charge. He was much bigger than me, stronger, faster, and exceedingly more powerful. I didn’t stand a chance. His body towered over mine, consuming and utterly terrifying.
His knee pressed down between my thighs, spreading me open before him. I tried to close them, but his thigh was thick and muscular and way stronger than I had anticipated. He wasn’t gentle. H
e wasn’t in control. He was a beast about to mate and I was the only one who could satiate him and that both terrified and excited me.
I felt the hard club of his cock press against my thigh and my breath caught in my throat. I whimpered, but it sounded more like a moan. The closer it moved to my pussy, the more I wondered if I actually wanted it. Did I?
I knew this was going to be an experience like I’d never felt before. I knew he was going to take me hard, that it was going to hurt, and that he was well past any reason or semblance of control. I knew that he was only acting off of instinct now. I should have been more scared, but my aroused desire coursing through my veins was numbing me to it.
If I would survive this mating remained to be seen.
