Burn My Soul Part 1 Read Free

understand why the house alarm didn't go off.
    Reaching the circular concrete driveway, I feel the overwhelming oppressive air of the outdoors coursing through my burning, oxygen starved lungs, my desert dry mouth and throat, are even more parched. I hesitate briefly, relishing in my freedom, deciding which way to run.
    Leading with my right foot I take off, ignoring the pain in my body. I scream bloody murder when silent, strong, and muscular steel like arms wrap around my waist. My struggles, are reduced to those of a child as I'm immediately pulled forcefully backward into a hard, muscular body. No way in Hellfire will you get me! My mind screams.
    Like a hellcat, I immediately fight even harder with every last ounce of strength to get free, knowing Madi's life and mine, depend upon it!
    I suck in a sharp breath and my body tenses as I realize my arms are trapped at my sides.
    I scream at the top of my lungs, "Let me go right now, or you'll be damn sorry!" I'm trying to project my scream to make me appear more sinister than I am, more menacing. Silently, I'm praying he'll loosen his arms just enough so I can scratch out his eyes and run! I'm terrified Madi's already dead, at the hands of the other intruder.
    I know in an instant, my instincts are faulty and not to be trusted. They're insanely screaming safety and desire for a killer whose trapped me in his arms! What the hell is wrong with me? He's only waiting until his partner comes out and then, they'll kill me too!
    I continue searching my surroundings, but see no one out and about in our beautiful, gated community of the rich and famous. I'm praying at least one person has heard my screams and is calling 911 at this moment.
    "Shhh....I'm not gonna hurt you darling in any way, you have my solemn vow." The deeply husky, seductive, melt my insides to liquid, belongs in my bedroom, masculine voice whispers in my right ear. Long silky soft black as midnight hair brushes my sweaty naked neck and shoulder ever so softly.
    What the hell is wrong with me? Thinking he and his voice belong in my bedroom? Just lock me up in the insane asylum right now! I've completely lost it!
    I stand completely still, forcing my body to relax, trying to throw this large stranger off guard just enough to get away.
    I try to calm my raspy and labored breathing as my legs threaten to crumple under my weight, afraid of what will happen if my plan fails.
    The stranger behind me chuckles, his hot breath caresses my neck, causing my body to involuntarily heat up with desire. Something it clearly has no business feeling! His body, flush and tight against my backside begins to relax. His arms loosen considerably around my waist.
    I smile to myself thinking, Sucker! Seconds later when I'm sure he least expects it I suddenly struggle like a hellcat against his bands of steel. I manage to get my arms loose.
    I finally get my arms loose and clench my hands into claws. I scratch his arms, fiercely drawing blood. Then, slam my elbows repeatedly into his chest as hard as I can. I try to do the most damage possible to get free.
    "Ahhh!" I hear him roar behind me in anger and pain. Before I can get free, his arms trap mine once again tightly against my sides, tightening considerably. I suddenly fear he's going to tighten those bands of steel until he breaks me in half. It hurts like hell and I scream in agony and anger, refusing to stop fighting against him.
    "Dammit, woman! Stop beating the living crap out of me!" He growls menacingly.
    "Never! You'll have to kill me first!" I slam my head backward, intent on breaking his nose. I'm angry as hell when he anticipates my move and my head only ends up hitting his hard chest. I instantly feel dizzy having almost knocked myself out.
    Jesus, does he have superman's chest or what? I think to myself as he sighs heavily against my neck. I can't stop the involuntarily shiver of desire.
    "Woman, for someone who looks so damn sweet and innocent, you're even ten times worse
