Page 7 of Holiday Intrusion

Every muscle in my exhausted body softens, and my breathing slows as my mind fogs into blissful nothingness.

I never knew anything could feel this… thissafe.My fear is gone as if it never existed. There is nothing but pleasure.

Warm hands stroke down the length of my back, rubbing small circles against my spine before he smooths his palm back up to my nape over and over, until I feel nothing but his strong muscles and that all-enveloping alpha warmth. His scent is heavy in my nostrils, heady and rich, andoh,I couldbathein it. Deep and musky andmale.

I rub against his chest, mindless to anything but the need for more of his delicious musk, and moan softly when his purr pitches deeper in obvious approval.Oh, yes, that’s even better.

Soft lips brush against my scalp, my temple, the shell of my ear, and when I press deeper into him for more, something hard rises against my belly.

On some distant plane, I recognize that this—this is the part where I should find the strength to keep fighting. But his purr keeps the terror of what’s going to happen next at bay. Instead, warmth pools low in my abdomen and I feel myself…soften.

“Oh.”It’s a coo, soft and feminine, and unlike any sound I’ve made before.

“That’s it,” he purrs. “It’ll feel so, so good, my sweet. Give in.”

“Mmm,” I agree, rubbing my nose deeper into his sweater until he brushes a couple of fingers underneath my jaw to tip my head up.

He’s wearing a black balaclava with two openings for his eyes and mouth, and in the darkness, I can’t even make out his eye color. My stomach tightens at the visual reminder that this is a stranger, an intruder—

“Shh.” Warm lips dip for mine, and the spark of unease drowns in the taste of his mouth.

Oh, God, I’ve never been kissed like this.

He devours my mouth slow and deep, flicking his tongue at my lips until I part them on instinct, and he’sinside.We both groan. Mine is high-pitched, his low and deep. He clutches at my hips, then reaches for my ass to lift me.

I part my knees for him, too lost in the kiss and his unwavering purr to worry when he wraps my legs around his waist and closes his arms around me, then heads for the stairs.

And how could I worry? Every inch of my skin is warm from the heat he radiates, every breath laced with his rich aroma and intoxicating flavor. My pulse throbs steadily down low, a delicious sort of itch spreading through my body, and thatpurr—oh, it’s both soothing and exciting, calling out to something primal I didn’t know I contained.This is where you belong,it seems to say.This is where you’re safe.

When he puts me down on the floor again, I mewl unhappily into his mouth.

He chuckles softly, his breath wafting over me as he pulls back with a few scorching kisses to my jaw. “Patience, beautiful.”

I plaster myself to his body and stretch up, eager for his lips to return to mine, but he grabs my shoulders and spins me around without acquiescing to my demands.

I blink in dazed confusion. He’s taken me to my bedroom.

Soft, flickering light from several white pillar candles scattered around the room lets me see he’s changed the sheets and stacked my pillows by the headboard. Red, silky ribbons—scarves, from the looks of them—are tied to the wrought metal.

“You… prepared this?” I mumble. Alarm tries to claw its way past the blissful fog slowing my brain, but his purr vibrates unrelentingly through my back, making it impossible to think.

“I did.” He brushes my hair over my shoulder and kisses the side of my neck, then grips my sweater and eases it over my head. “Every moment, I’ve thought about how I would take you. When I slept, my dreams were of nothing but the raw, carnal desperation to be inside of you, but byday…I planned.”

The alpha kisses my neck again and unhooks my bra, and my nipples instantly tighten at the first touch of cool air.

“No one’s ever called to me like you, little temptress. I’m afraid you’ve made me quite mad with yearning,” he whispers before reaching for my zipper. “Every time you passed the alley by the station, all I could think about was dragging you in and having you against the wall like a brute. But I couldn’t do that. Not to you. Just the thought of you disrespected like that…”

His voice dips to a threatening growl, purr momentarily stuttering out. I tense on instinct at the aggressive sound, but before the spell fully lifts from my confused mind, he ghosts a breath against my ear and resumes the purring, louder than before. When I sag back against him, he eases my pants over my hips and then hooks his fingers in the waistband of my panties to slide them down as well. When they pool at my feet, he lifts me back up, bridal-style.

I look up at him, and am met with a gaze so full of heat I have to squeeze my thighs together to stop a trickle of liquid from escaping. Oh, but he looks like he wants todevourme.

He crosses the floor to my bed in two steps and kneels on the mattress to place me in the center. “The first time I met you, I was so angry with you. I was perfectly content in life, and then suddenly, there you were. Making mewant.Do you know what that’s like, my sweet? To want until your soul aches?”

The alpha guides my left hand to my headboard and carefully wraps one silk scarf around my wrist. When he’s done, he tests the binding with a finger, ensuring it’s not too tight, before he straddles me to reach for my other wrist.

“But there is no point in hating you," he continues. "Not when what I crave is so easily taken.”

"I—wait. Please, I…” What he says… I try to focus on the intent overlaying the deep purr. His tone is indulgent and laced with heat that makes my pussy throb, but the words are sinister enough to pierce the veil of contentment.
