Gemini closes his eyes and takes a large inhale. He hums in delight before his deadly gaze slams back into mine. “Your fear smells just as sweet as I remember.”
“I’m not scared of you,” I hurry to say, hating how much my body reacts to his threats.
“That’s a lie, pet.”
“And how would you know?” I growl.
“Haven’t you learned by now?” he says slowly in a predatory tone. “I know everything about you.”
He lunges forward before I have time to react and manages to grab my waist, but I immediately fight back with a renewed sense of outrage.
“Let go of me!” I screech, pushing against Gemini’s arm, my nails digging into his skin.
Gemini snickers coldly. “Back to that same song, I see.”
My rage only builds, and I lose myself in the feeling and all the repressed fury I once felt for my captor. I swing my arm backward, aiming for his face, then propel it forward. My fistconnects hard against bone as I manage to land a hard blow near Gemini’s temple.
His head snaps back, and my first instinct is to fall still and see if I hurt him, but my survival instinct kicks in instead, and I take the opportunity to fight him off.
When his arms fall away, I laugh in disbelief, but don’t take the time to look back before sprinting away, making my way even deeper into the maze. The hard, grassy soil hurts my soles, but it only spurs me onward, making me determined to evade Gemini for as long as I can manage.
His cackling laughter reaches me through the depths of the gnarled branches of the tall hedges, and I can’t tell if he’s behind me or somewhere on another path parallel to me. I let out a small, breathless whimper, my lungs tightening as they burn with the exertion.
I keep running, turning this way and that, letting my feet choose for me, my mind now devoid of rational thoughts, except for the throbbing need to escape.
Suddenly, I hear pounding footsteps behind me and make the mistake of looking over my shoulder, slowing me down.
Gemini is right behind me, a mad look on his face. I yelp and try to speed up, but he grabs a fistful of my dress and yanks me backward to him.
Swiveling my torso around so I can slam my palms into his chest, I lose my footing and fall hard on my ass. Gemini doesn’t stop laughing, his tone turning even more manic as he follows me down to the ground.
Panic rises, boiling through my veins as I continue to try to escape his hold, struggling to scramble away. My foot flies out, the heel connecting hard with his nose. His head snaps backward, and he curses loudly, his hands flying to cradle his bruised nose. I take the opportunity to turn my body away fromhim in a feeble attempt to break free. I’ve only managed a few measly inches before I’m dragged back across the grass.
“The hunt is over, little rabbit,” Gemini rasps, the blood from his nose now running down his mouth and chin. “Quit resisting. It’s now time to savor the spoils.”
I ignore his command and continue to struggle in his harsh grasp, but my body flares in heat, knowing exactly what will happen next.
And I want nothing more than to be devoured whole by Gemini Foley.
Still, I bare my teeth and spit in his face as he pins me to the ground with a large palm against my neck and collarbone. My actions only embolden Gemini further as he tugs his pants down.
“You’ll never have me,” I hiss, and part of me is surprised by the harsh intent in my tone.
Gemini roughly pushes my dress up, ripping my thong off in a rush of movements. My core throbs in wanton need, my arousal hungry and aching.
“Your words mean nothing, Veil Vulturine,” he growls, his eyes crazed and aflame as he positions himself at my entrance. “Not when I’ve owned you since I took my very first breath.”
He impales me with his cock in one vicious thrust, and my mouth falls open on a ragged moan, my head pressing into the earth under me.
His hand keeps me pinned to the ground, his fingers curling around my throat. He fucks me with abandon, and my breath is nearly snatched out of my lungs when the pleasure explodes inside of me.
Gemini snickers mockingly, and the sound of it makes me squeeze around his throbbing length.
“I knew you’d be soaking wet.” He leans close to my cheek, his tongue laving a path up my face, certainly staining me withhis blood as he does so. “Listen to how sloppy you sound as I fuck you, my pet. Why would you ever deny us when I can hear it in the panting moans you sing for me?”
It’s my turn to laugh. It’s delirious and mocking. Gemini appears surprised by my reaction with the way his head pops up to gaze into my eyes, the bottom half of his face smeared with blood.
“Foolish Gemini,” I singsong, bringing one of my legs up and over his waist.
