There’s moisture gathering between my thighs, but the tightening sensations in my tummy are so foreign, so confusing. At the man who is already snarling at my nipples, lapping at them hungrily. I open my mouth to respond, but he grips both of my wrists in one hand, using his free one to rip my borrowed shirt down the middle and all I can do is gape. “My little lost princess,” he croaks, finally letting me breathe, his hard lips raking down to the hollow of my throat, launching a sensual attack. No, he continues to consume, his mouth racing over mine, our foreheads flush, hot breath puffing from his nostrils.

And even in the midst of my terror, I grieve for him. His eyes are open now, but they’re fogged. Two hundred and fifty pounds of muscle rolls on top of me, a lethal hand circling my throat. My heart is racing as I settle a hand in the center of his chest. “Get the fuck down,” he growls, baring his teeth. I settle a knee on the edge of the bed, dodging a flailing arm.
