familiar with Hestor . The
question is , why do you seek him out?” My gaze turns
back to her.
    “Like
what you see?” She tilts her head and swipes her lips with her tongue. “It's
yours if you lead me to him.”
    I
shake my head. “You truly must think me a fool if you proposition me so, dear
Rose. I know that's what you offer the targets in your game. You tease them
with the reward of your body, yet you get them alone in the woods and take
their lives. You cannot seduce me in this way.”
    “Am
I repulsive to you?” her voice notches up an octave.
    “You,
Rose Red are the most beautiful woman I've ever had the pleasure to lay my eyes
upon. But I think you should know our interest in Hestor may be of a similar nature and perhaps we could strike a deal.” I ease off her
and fold my arms.
    “What
do you want with him? His magicks are dark and bring
only evil.” Her blazing eyes darken, studying me with intent.
    I
lean in, pressing my chest against hers as I hover above her face. “I have my
reasons, as I know you do yours. They are not of your concern. What we both
agree on is that he must be eliminated. No?”
    “Your
towel seems to have come lose,” she whispers.
    My brow quirks. “How would you know?” I think
she's trying to distract me, but I won't fall for her games. “Your eyes haven't
left mine.”
    “Because I'm the one who loosened
it.” Her warm
hand wraps around my cock, forcing a gasp from my lungs. My head yells at me to
jump back, but the sensation of her fingers gripping tight to my flesh wipe all
logical thought from my mind. I make the mistake of glancing down, aching to
watch her hand stroke my length. It's the last thing I see before she knocks me
cold.

Chapter Two
     
    I
lunge from the bed and my toes curl up as the cold wooden floor shocks them.
Scrambling about the room, I gather my soaking wet clothes into my arms. A
shiver attacks my spine as the icy remnants of the frozen river still drip from
my skirts onto my legs. Snow falls out the window in heavy flakes, wind
swirling them like a white tornado.
    Damn.
He's right. I'll never make it home.
    Warm
arms clamp around me, and I struggle to break free. His hard shaft pins itself
against my ass, sending a twinge of heat to my belly. A part of me longs to
know the sensation of his thickness inside me. Just the girth of it in my hand
sent a flood of arousal between my legs. He is magnificent. And he's pressed
against me.
    Broad
shoulders swallow me from behind, and taut muscles ripple down his long arms as
he pulls me backward.
    “Rose,
don't make me tie you to the bed,” he growls in my ear. Strands of his loose
brown hair tickle my cheek. “I'll make you pay for clubbing me with that book.”
    “Promises,
promises,” I whisper and shirk away from his hold. His shaft pierces my cheeks,
forcing a moan from my throat.
    “You
like that?” He presses it a bit further, burying only the tip.
    “You
always rape women on the first date?” I say, choking the words over the air
hitched in my throat.
    He
jerks back, releasing his grasp on my arms and his cock falls away from me. My
heart plunges straight through my chest, splashing bile into my throat as it
hits my stomach. The words gut me as they leave my lips. His gentle blue eyes
hold both softness and concern. I know he won't hurt me. But I must not let him
think I believe so.
    “I
told you, that is not my intent. You're the one who ripped me of my covering.”
Stern eyes scold me for my actions, yet desire burns as they deepen their hue.
    “You
ripped me of mine.” I fan my arm to the fireplace, my clothes dumped to a heap.
    Pursing
his handsome lips, he bends and picks up the remnants of my torn clothing and
re-drapes them over the fireplace grate to dry. “Would you prefer I left you in
frozen, soaking wet clothes laying on the side of the
riverbank? Because I can take you back there if you wish.” His heated fingers
curl around my upper arm as he leads me to the
