Captured in Croatia (16 page)

I sigh. “Zoran, I might actually be able to believe what you
’re saying if you weren’t holding me against my will. You need to set me free.” I break his gaze and stare up at the canopy of leaves shielding us from the sky.

“Ok
ay,
princeza
, I can’t fight you forever. You want your freedom? Then you’ll have to earn it.”

“Earn it?” I whisper
, pushing the words out past my lips.

“Up for a challenge?”

I straighten and step back from his hold. “What are you offering?”

“Your total freedom
. That is, if you’re fast enough.”

“Details
, please.”

“I’m a sporting guy and I’
m willing to give you a full five minute head start anywhere into the forest. If I’m unable to locate you within thirty minutes from the time I come after you, then you are free.”

My freedom? Unreal!

“And if you manage to catch me?”

A dark, feral smile passes over his perfect lips
. “Well, let’s just say that I have something quite specific in mind as
my
reward,
princeza
.”

My libido seriously hopes that it involves
animalistic sex deep in the woods.

With effort
, I shove the spine-tingling thought aside and purr confidently up to him, “Keep dreaming and take a good look, Tigar, because this is the last time you will ever see my face.”

With a smug look
, he crosses his arms and looks down to check his watch before saying, “We’ll see about that. Ready?”

“Hell yes.”

I take one last look at him.
Damn, he’s so beautiful ….

“Go!”

I take off like a shot in the dark, my arms pumping furiously. I run headlong up the trail as if my life depended on it.

In every way, it does
.

***

I watch her silky hair fly out behind her as she sprints away from me and up the narrow trail. A rare, full smile forms on my lips as I plant my feet and wait. I saw the excitement in her eyes and noticed how her breathing changed—becoming rapid and shallow—when I suggested the challenge. She
wants
me to hunt her down more than she wants her freedom. As much as she denies her needs, I’m beginning to understand how her mind works.

I
stand, quiet and still, on the forest floor, planning my strategy. She has three more minutes and then she will be caught. And when she is …. My already hard cock strains against my jeans to the point where I have to reach a hand in and readjust it up against the waistband of my boxer briefs.

Oh, yeah,
I’m going to have fun with my beautiful princeza this morning.

She’ll enjoy what
I’m going to do to her, because she craves the chase just as much as I do. I look around, taking in the beauty of the lush forest. Time check. Ten more seconds ….

I
call out into the forest, even knowing that she can’t hear me, “Time’s up, baby.”

Taking off into a fast jog
, I follow her path. If I timed it right, then I know where I’ll catch up with her. She’s exactly where I want her, in an area that’s secluded and scenic—perfect for taking her down and showing her who’s really in charge. My pace quickens at the thought.

Crossing over the long, narrow bridge that spans
one of the azure-colored lakes, I wonder what’s going on in her mind. I’m confident that I’ll find her in time. I’m not ready to let her go, but I would reluctantly keep my word if she wins our wager.

Once
I’m on the other side, I come to a halt and listen intently. I wouldn’t put it past her to hide in order to avoid capture. Cocking my head, I remain quiet. I hear nothing but falling water and singing birds so I continue onward, climbing the steep incline that lies ahead.

A
nticipation gives me a surge of adrenaline as I make my way higher at a quick, efficient pace.
She’s like a fucking dream … so damn sweet
. I wish I could keep her forever. She’s the one, I know it. Fuck, I’ve never felt anything like this before, never let anyone get this close. The thought of letting her go anytime soon sends a shot of pain through my chest
.

I
pick up my pace. Even though the air is cool, a sheen of sweat breaks out across my brow. Nearly to the top …. The rush of water echoes from the highest waterfall in Plitvice. She’s up there. Trapped. The only way out is directly in my path. I want her and I play to win.

I slow my
stride as I crest the top of the tall, tree-covered hill. My eyes narrow when I don’t see her immediately.
Where are you, Carew?
She’s either hiding or she decided to jump. I know that she doesn’t have a death wish. No, she loves life far too much.

I
call out loudly, “All right,
princeza
, you wanna play? Cat and mouse it is then, but be warned, you’re about to be devoured.”

I
stalk straight toward a dense grove of large trees. Some are wide enough for a body to hide behind, especially a lithe, sexy little body like hers
. Oh yeah ….

A gust of wind sweeps
across the top of the hill.
Right there.
A few locks of her long, pale hair are blowing outward from her hiding spot.
Gotcha, baby.

I
approach the tree as stealthily as possible, fully aware that she has no idea her hair is giving her away. Nearly there ….

Leaves crunch under
my leather boots and at the same moment I hear her cry out, knowing that she’s been spotted. Immediately she takes off, running hell-bent into the forest. A growl emerges from my throat as I sprint hard after her. I get close and reach out for her shoulder, trying to get her to slow for me, taking care not to hurt her. She surprises me by ducking to her left in an abrupt change of direction.

I
sprint harder, circle wide to her left and leap across a felled tree, landing right in her path. She’s running so frantically that she’s unable to stop. She runs smack into my chest but still doesn’t give up. She turns to flee, but this time she’s off balance and falls back onto her ass.
Perfect.

“I do like catching you
, Carew. Are you ready for
my
reward, baby?”

A small cry of feminine a
larm erupts from her plump lips. She struggles to get away from me but her injured wrist makes it impossible for her to retreat on all fours.

“Get onto your knees, ass in the air
, and put your forearms out above your head.”

She stares up
at me in disbelief. “But … but … you tricked me!”

I arch a brow.
“How so?”

“You know this place
. You must have known that you were sending me directly into a trap!”

“
You chose which direction to run, baby, now pay up. On. Your. Knees.”

Her eyes sparkle with
lust and her lips part at my command. With a huff of protest, she turns over, lifts up her perfect, jean-clad ass for me, and stretches out, resting on her forearms in the tall green grass.

Gazing
down at her, I realize I have just won the fucking lottery. She is a dream-creature. I can’t wait to fuck her senseless.

K
neeling down behind her, I lift her black sweater just high enough that her creamy tits dangle down for my wicked use. Fondling them simultaneously, I knead the twin weights thoroughly until she arches back toward me, a small, feminine moan escaping her lips.

“Relax
, baby, I’ll give you just what you need.”

She whimpers
once as I reach under her to unfasten the button on those sinfully tight jeans.
Fuck me!
And here I thought she looked hot in lingerie …. This woman looks stunning in anything
.

Straining for patience
, I draw the skintight jeans and panties over her smooth ass and down to her knees. She begins to shift impatiently.

“No. Stay put.”
I purposefully add an edge to my voice. She stills immediately.

With the jeans tra
pping her knees, I use the outside of my legs to spread her wider, positioning her just so. I lean back onto my knees, palms spread out on the top of my thighs and inspect my prize.
So fucking hot.

I
watch her closely as I take off my belt and unbutton my jeans. I reach in and wrap my palm around my broad cock, drawing it out of my black underwear.

She flips her hair away and turns to watch
me with those lusty green eyes. So beautiful. She’s more dazzling than sunshine and I can’t wait to be buried so deep within her that she won’t know where she ends and I begin.

Reaching down
, I slowly swipe one finger across her creaming slit. Perfectly drenched. I smile as she pushes her ass up a fraction. So ready for more. I’ll give her everything.

I
keep up the back and forth glide with my finger, knowing full well how it drives her wild, before bringing it up to my lips for a taste. I suck on my finger, saturating it before I bring it back between her legs to concentrate on that pretty little clit of hers. After I have circled it several times, she begins to cry out and rake her hands through the grass.

“Stop toying with me
, Zoran!” she cries, her voice straining with need.

With a
smile, I ask, “Who?”

“Tig
ar! Fuck me hard, Tigar! Is that what you want? I’ll scream out your name, just make me come! This is just cruel. You’re driving my insane!”

I can’t help but
chuckle as I put my finger back in my mouth to get it nice and wet. Holding one hand steady on her left hip, I work my way into her sweet ass with my slicked up index finger. Fuck, my cock is straining so hard, aching to grind into her sweet body.

“Ungh, oh, oh!”

Once I have my finger inside her fist-tight back channel, I release her hip and allow her to rock back and forth, fucking her ass with my finger at her own pace. She moans wildly as my thick finger pumps in and out of her little backside. God! It’s one of the sexiest things I’ve ever seen.
I have to take her now.
I’ll come all over her back if I wait any longer.

I
remove my digit and she protests with a frustrated whine.

Grasping
the thick base of my rigid cock, I glance down at the pearls of pre-cum. I am
more than ready for her.

“Brace for it
,
princeza
.”

Without another word
, I feed my thick cock into her soaked pussy. I work her hard, pushing eagerly, knowing that she can stretch to take all of me. I begin to thrust, setting a pounding rhythm that is in sync with my galloping heartbeat. I slap her rounded ass twice as she continues to cry out in mindless pleasure.

Time to ignite yo
u, baby.

Reaching between her spread legs
, I swipe hard against her engorged clit. On the second pass she screams out in a primal cry, sucking in little gasps of air as her slick sex milks me for everything I have.
Too perfect, unreal!

G
ripping both her hips, I begin to hammer into her. My hips slap loudly against her exposed ass. On the fourth stroke, I ram myself full length into her drenched slit and pour my orgasm into her. My roar of pleasure rings triumphantly through the trees.

***

My IQ has taken a nosedive. I can only lie here with my cheek pressed against the soft grass and feel
.
He’s still buried deep within me and I can hear him breathing like a racehorse after a hard sprint. In a word,
amazing
.

When I’m able to
think clearly again, I push up on my good arm and look back at him. “Zoran.”

He smiles a lazy, contented smile. “Carew.”

Just then something significant passes between us. I blink and look away into the trees. He gently pulls out of me and assists me in standing up before pulling down my sweater and helping me with my jeans. I am still too unsteady to dress myself.

I look down at his impressive
shaft, still slick with our fluid and mostly hard. I can’t believe that he fits inside me, but he is so fine that I want him again instantly. He tucks himself back into his black boxer briefs and jeans before taking my hand and pulling me into his strong embrace.

His chin dips low to rest on top of my head and he speaks, his deeply accented voice floating down to me
. “I’m on a two-week vacation from work, Carew. In ten days, when it is over, I will drive you to the airport in Zagreb and send you home. It is the least I can do after what you have endured, but I wanted these days with you. Understood?”
