A Burning Flame by Daniella Kunz (the red fox clan .TXT) 📗

and jumping back to my feet, narrowly dodging him. He doesn’t stall as he spins in my direction, advancing on me once again. I jerk to the side moving away from his grasp as I leap over the bed. He catches my foot before I make it over putting enough distance between us. He jerks me back in one swift movement and I kick my leg out, extending it into his shoulder, catching him off guard as he stumbles back. A low growl echoes from his chest as he barrels toward me. I run towards the door, flinging it open as I dart down the hallway. I barely hear his footsteps bounding after me and I make the mistake of turning to see how far back he is.

I let out a startled yelp to find he is right behind me. How can a guy as big as him be so freaking quiet? Turning my attention forward I round the couch as he pushes off leaping over it. As I turn to flee once more his large arm wraps around my waist jerking me to a halt. I bend my elbow, pulling my arm forward before jamming it back with all the force I can muster.

I hear him grunt at the impact to his ribs before he tightens his grip. He lifts me as he spins, slamming me into the wall, he pushes his body against mine hard. Forcing his leg between mine as he grasps my hands holding them up above me tight.

My heart beats erratically as my breathing comes out in sharp pants. I look into his eyes and see the heavy, predatory gaze that consumes them. His shoulders are tense and I feel as his hand grips my waist, tightening his fingers into my lower back as they wrap around. Though I rarely see this side of him, I can see it is the side he keeps hidden from the world. Like a lethal predator lying in wait, he baits in his prey before attacking them.

The look in his eyes tells me I should be frightened, but I’m not. I’m so far from it. I am slammed by an aching desire as my core tightens. Everything about him, his force, his strength, the wild untamed darkness in his eyes. "I need you." I get out breathlessly. His gaze burns a rich amber before he bends down crashing his lips into mine. Dropping my hands, he reaches down grabbing hold of my butt, lifting me up as my legs wrap around his waist. His tongue pushes against mine as he tastes me, deepening the kiss. His hand moves between us as he brushes his finger under my panties, grazing my already slick folds. As he runs his finger down me, he groans into my mouth. "Fuck, you’re so wet.”

He claims my lips as he slides a finger into me, drawing a moan from my lips at the pleasurable sensation. Withdrawing it, he reaches down freeing his cock. He slams into me in one swift motion, and I gasp, arching off the wall into him. My fingers dig into his shoulders as he thrusts hard, pushing me into the wall with each connection. There is nothing soft and gentle about his movements or hands. Each time he slams into me, hitting a spot deeper than before, I quickly begin to feel myself unravel. Waves of pleasure surge through me finding my release as he continues to pound into me until he tenses against me.

Dropping his head to me, he buries his face into my neck and hair. Kissing my racing pulse as he draws in a deep breath. “Fucking cinnamon.” He shakes his head against me as he pulls back, looking down at me. “You make me lose all sense of control, woman.”  He brushes a kiss to my lips before pulling out and settling me back down onto the ground.

“Sooo, do I get to stay?”

He rolls his eyes at me before turning and walking back down the hall. “Go get your ass ready. We are late.”

As we pull up to the large building Nico occupies like an overprotective psychopath, we walk in. Placing his hand on my lower back, we step into the elevator as Daveon enters the code to take us to the penthouse. "So since we have to be married in two weeks, you'll need to start working out any details you want with Liliana today. She can reach out to whoever helped with her planning."

"Yeah, okay."

"Oh and another thing. I need you to get everything set up for an engagement party tomorrow night. It shouldn't be a large event, it will only be about twenty or so people at the most I would think." My mouth gapes at the bomb he just dropped in my lap.

"Tomorrow? Are you shitting me? And I'm just supposed to figure everything out? I don't know anyone here. How do you expect me to plan this when I don't know where to find anything in New York?"

He just shrugs, looking forward, unconcerned. "Where the hell are we even hosting it at?"

"Our new place of course."

I throw my hands up. "Of course, because you had to make it somewhere that isn't even finished on top of everything else."

"It will be finished today.” He reassures me, to which I give him an incredulous look. “Come on, don't all girls love planning parties and shit like that? Should be right up your alley."

The elevator comes to a stop and the door dings at our arrival. "Oh, shut the fuck up. Not all girls do."

"And you're gonna tell me you're one that doesn't?" He turns raising a brow at me as the door opens. When I don't respond, he grins wide. "Can't wait to see how it turns out." He walks out of the elevator into the penthouse.

Following behind him, I stop as my eyes land on Liliana up on the counter wrapped around Nico. His hands are up
