Hunter Reborn by Katie Reus Page B

her jaw in a tight, unforgiving grip. His touch was unnaturally warm. “I don’t doubt that,” he whispered, that red glow flickering to life once again. “Because if you don’t, I’ll make you regret being born.”
    Before she could respond, he turned her around and slammed her face-first onto the altar. The blood from the vamp’s heart spread over her face. She knew what was coming before it happened. Her nipples pebbled tightly as he shoved her skirt up. Seconds later, he was inside her, his thick length spreading her. Groaning, she arched her hips up as he thrust into her over and over. Bastard wouldn’t let her come. He never did when he was pissed like this.
    When she reached between her legs to stimulate herself, he stopped, buried deep inside her. “Don’t.” The warning sent a wave of fear rolling through her.
    Though she wanted to orgasm, she knew better than to defy him. By now she didn’t bother fighting him. There was no point. If she stroked herself anyway, he’d let her come, but then he’d punish her afterward. She’drather deal with no climax than with what he’d do to her later if she defied him.
    He resumed thrusting and she gritted her teeth. As soon as he was through with her, she’d have to find Larissa. Or suffer far worse consequences than this.

Chapter 9
    A iden tugged on one of the sweaters he’d grabbed earlier as he took the stairs to the second floor two at a time. The cabin he and Larissa had just broken into was huge, with two fireplaces. Luckily the one in the master bedroom was gas operated so he could start it without worrying about alerting anyone to their presence.
    Larissa was waiting downstairs in the kitchen while he made sure the place was secure. He hadn’t even had to break any windows or pick a lock to get in the place. One of the upstairs bathroom windows had been unlocked. The window was narrow and high up, but he’d used his skills as a shifter to jump up to it. Of course it had been the very last window he’d checked.
    At least they were someplace relatively safe. He didn’t think anyone had followed them and after he’d texted Connor he’d turned off his phone and taken out the battery. Going completely dark for a few hours wasthe only option right now. Larissa was beyond exhausted and needed to feed. Once she did, he planned to make sure she got more sleep. It was the only way she’d start regaining some of her strength. Since he couldn’t take her back to the ranch yet, this place would have to do.
    After checking the propane tank, he turned on the fireplace and turned it up high. He wanted to get this room as warm as possible, quickly. The cabin was located right near the top of one of the mountains at the Sugar Mountain ski lodge. If they’d been here on vacation it would have been the perfect getaway spot. They could practically step out the front door and hit the slopes.
    But they weren’t on vacation and the woman he’d never stopped loving didn’t remember him. He bit back a curse and tried not to dwell on that. It wouldn’t do him any good.
    As he pulled two thick electric blankets down from the closet, he paused at a slight shuffling sound.
    â€œIt’s just me,” Larissa whispered nearby.
    He stepped out of the walk-in closet to find her hovering in the doorway, arms wrapped tightly around herself. Wearing a thick jacket over a sweater, snug jeans, and knee-high snow boots, she was still practically shivering.
    Damn it, he needed to feed her and get her warm. “I’ve got the fireplace going and I’m going to plug in these blankets. This will warm you up, but you’ve got to feed.” He tried to brace himself for how arousing it would be for him. In the past they’d always beenintimate when she fed from him, but things were different now.
    She nodded as she stepped into the room. “I know.” She took off
