The Devil's Due(9)

The sexual need.

The need to have those hard, broad hands push her dress over her ass, grip her hips and push inside her with a heavy, deep, bruising thrust.

She wanted all of him at once.

Her vagina clenched, rippling with hunger. It ached, flushed with heat and demanded his possession.

She wanted him.

She wanted to be touched.

Taken.

Oh God, she wanted him f**king her and she wanted it now before she was forced to scream with a need so painful it terrified her.

Horrified her.

Because she was going to demand it. Her lips were parting, a cry building in her throat when he suddenly lifted just enough to flip her to her back before wedging his thighs between hers, the hard length of his c**k pressing against her sex as his fingers covered her lips.

“We are not alone,” he mouthed as her eyes widened in dawning terror. “And this isn’t the time for this.”

Of course it wasn’t.

The time would never come.

He was the Devil. The Grim Reaper of the Breeds and he’d come to drag her away and make certain she never became a danger to the species again.

Everyone had lied to her. She was a liability. A secret they didn’t want to risk. She knew that now.

She knew it, because the Breed pinning her to the floor with the strength of his hips and his very aroused c**k was not a potential lover.

He was a killer.

He was the Devil, and he would have no other reason to be there other than—

To kill her.

TWO

Terror.

Anger.

Injustice.

Fascination.

So many emotions.

Katie couldn’t seem to settle on just one, or to figure which was uppermost. But the resounding regret, she finally realized, was the emotion that seemed to beat harder at her brain.

Why did her body pick this moment, this man, to become sexual? She was twenty-three years old and she’d berated her sexuality as well as her heart for so many years for being unable to react to the opposite sex as other women did.

She had dated. She’d tried to force a need, an arousal for some of the more appealing prospects she’d known as potential lovers, yet she’d never been able to work up enough interest to actually join one in bed. Even Douglas, the fiancé who had informed her that he had no intention of allowing Breed genetics into any children he would eventually bring into the world. And besides, he’d sneered, he’d never been into f**king animals.

He’d slipped the engagement ring off her finger while she was too weak to fight, even had she wanted to, and he had walked away without even saying good-bye. But in his gaze she had glimpsed the pure disgust he’d felt at the thought of her.

Now, in the middle of attempting to escape a situation she didn’t understand, that sexuality had kicked into overdrive with the Breed known for being seen only when someone was such a liability to the Breed community that they were marked for termination.
