Chapter 9

• “How did you know all that about me?” she huffed. “Are you stalking me or something?”
• “Stop grinding on my junk and I’ll tell you. You need to stop teasing my cock before little Hunter gets a mind of his own. Well... not so little. He’s pretty impressive, isn’t he? I’m sure you’ve figured that out by now by how wet you already are.” He chuckled, knowing he was gifted in that area.
• “Stop being a pervert and answer the question.”
• Letting her arousal subside, Ava stopped struggling. Maybe he was right. Rubbing her ass on this naked man in the middle of the wood probably wasn't her finest moment. Had her mother found out about this, she was sure she’d be met with the nagging of how ladies don’t behave this way.
• “Stop teasing me and tell me.”
• “All right. I oversee the biggest tech firm in the world. I can find out anything I want when I want. You know who I am, so I’m amazed you don’t realize that sooner.”
• “You hacked my computer? That’s illegal!”
• “I doubt the feds care if I uncovered funny cat videos and your lame porn collection. Don’t use my browsers if you don’t want me to hack your laptop. By the way, you’re an excellent photographer. Mr. Halifax did a good job choosing you for his marketing project. You’re incredibly talented, Ava,” he said as he trailed his lips up her neckline. “Damn, you smell so fucking good. I could just eat you up right now.”
• She didn’t know how to react to that. He was complimenting her, but he was also nude and trying to seduce her. Maybe even sizing up his next meal of the undead. Ava’s mind was so jumbled she didn’t know if she would mind either way. The thought of a sexy vampire eating her alive led the way to more erotic thoughts, and they seemed to grow the longer she was on this island.
• Hum... Seduction. Just what a sexy vampire would do. Her body froze in panic when she realized that could be true.
• “I want to go back to the main resort,” she blurted out with a hint of fear in her tone.
• “Why? We were just about to have some fun,” Hunter teased as he tilted her head back as if he would bite her.
• As he grazed his teeth along the soft flesh just under her earlobe, Ava let out a lustful gasp.
• “Fuck...” she muttered unwillingly, making his lips curl in a devilish smirk.
• “Mmmm. Naughty girl. You’re giving mixed signals. One minute you want to run, the next you’re moaning, arching that pretty as up to me.”
• “Please... let me go.”
• His pale hand lightly gripped her throat, and she felt her body go weak. Ava tried to control the panting she was suddenly doing that was giving too much of her emotional state away.
• Her thoughts were dizzied in her head, and she was sure this was the end before her sexy vampire would bite her soon. The other images in her mind were betraying that fight-or-flight instinct by being far more lustful in nature. She would either turn into a monster or be killed, useless to resist him. If he turned her, she’d be his sexual plaything for eternity, and some part of that made her core tighten with want.
• If the other more sinister idea was true, and she was his next meal, she’d die there in paradise that turned to hell on earth. No one would ever see her again, and she even toyed with the thought that for once her mother was right. She’d run off and got herself into real trouble now.
• Ava was putty in his hands, and she knew it. She needed to run, but her body was resisting the urge while her back arched to his touch once more.
• “Please. I want to go back to my hut. I’m scared. Please don’t hurt me.”
• It took everything in Hunter to keep himself from laughing. He was just messing with her and had no intent on telling her the truth just yet. After all, this was just day one of his island adventures. Imagine the fun he could have over the next six days by teasing this girl.
• Releasing his grip, he stepped back. “Go. Now. I’m getting hungry and you look like you taste like one of my finest wines.”
• With those words, Ava turned and raced through the woods, forgoing her camera and shoes left behind. She wondered if she would make it away from this island of debauchery and evil alive, even if she wanted to leave at all. It was already the most excitement she had in her twenty-eight years. Her curiosity was going to end up getting her killed one day, and she feared it would come soon, at the fangs of a gorgeous killer.
• As Hunter watched her run away, he reached down to rub his hard cock with long, firm strokes. His own panting was mixed with the sounds that echoed through the lush forest. Resting his head on the tree, Hunter's raspy voice grunted out the frustration of his growing orgasm. Her rubbing her firm ass against his cock was almost more than he could handle. No woman had ever had such an effect on him, and he was determined to find out who Ava Cole really was.
• “Don’t worry, little pet. I’ll play with you soon enough,” he muttered into the darkness, as if speaking directly to her.
• With a few hard strokes and Hunder felt his stomach tighten and his cock twitch in his hand. Feeling the pre-cum drip over his fist, he was sure he was done for. Here he was, a master of industry and a billionaire tech mogul, and he was in the woods, teasing a naughty southern bell. The very one who left him alone to jerk off in the woods.
• When his release came, he just stood there for a moment to catch his breath as his forehead rested on the tree.
• Shaking his head he grumbled to himself, “What the fuck did I get myself into?”
