chapter 22

His cock swelled bigger, harder. His breathing picked up.

“That’s enough.” He barely got the words out, and she loved that she’d been able to pleasure her man. She hoped this wouldn’t be the last time.

He pulled her head up by the hair. “Why?” “Your lips are red and plump. Gorgeous.”

“Let me go.” She wanted to make him come, to feel his release down her throat. To see the satisfaction written on his face.

“I want you to come before I drop you off,” he said. “Come here, little one. I can smell your need. Your cunt is hungry for cock.” He reached to the side of his seat and moved it all the way back so they had more space. He narrowed his eyes, beckoning her closer with a finger. She could never resist him and those enticing gray eyes.

The scruff on his face, the way he licked his lips with his tongue … everything turned her on.

She slipped out of her pants and underwear and mounted him over the driver’s seat. Even though they were surrounded by trees, she felt exposed. The truck didn’t have tinted windows. He gripped both cheeks of her ass, squeezing hard.

Caleb rubbed his face against her tits even though she was still wearing her blouse.

He helped her rise and then brought her down hard over his cock. The sudden invasion overwhelmed her with raw pleasure, jolts of erotic energy scattering through her core. She needed this. Needed him.

“Please, Caleb.” The words slipped from her lips, her desperation taking over.

Caleb held her hips, doing all the work of fucking her over his lap. He was strong, powerful, and unrelenting. She held his shoulders, barely able to catch her breath as he brought her hurdling to a rapid orgasm. She screamed and gasped as the enormity of her release took her by surprise.

He only slowed once he’d come deep inside her, his rhythm and breathing calming down.

“I needed that. I don’t think I’ll ever have my fill of you,” he said, cupping her face to kiss her lips.

“Next time I see you, I’ll be fucking you in that beautiful hotel room. Only the best for my baby.”

She smiled. “You picked the room?”

“There’s a Jacuzzi bathtub, king bed, and view of the mountains. And room service. I may just stay a couple extra nights.”

“That sounds perfect.” She kissed him again. “Make it soon.”

Before long, they’d arrived in town. A sense of dread filled her gut. She didn’t want to leave Caleb. The taxi building was close to the diner. She’d walked past it numerous times. Old Jack was the owner, and he usually sat out front on a lawn chair, watching the cars go by.

“This is it. The cab will take you to the hotel. As soon as this is over, I’ll be coming for you.”

“You better.” She forced a smile.

He stood by his truck and watched her until she was inside the building. She stayed at the window until he’d boarded his truck, turned, and returned to the forest. Tears rolled down her cheeks but she quickly wiped them away with her sleeve. Falling apart now wouldn’t help anyone. She had to think positive.

When she turned around, there was no one at the desk. She didn’t want to push the bell on the counter and appear rude. Bethany didn’t mind waiting.

She read some of the ads pinned on the community bulletin board when the voice startled her.

“Ready to go?”

Bethany whirled around. Old Jack ran the back of his hand over his mouth. “Just finished my lunch.”

“You’re driving me?”

“No, my driver’s waiting for you outside. It’s a long drive, young lady. I’d use the restroom before you head out.”

She nodded her agreement and freshened up before leaving. Bethany grabbed her bag and left the building. The cab was running and waiting, and she hoped the driver wasn’t too pissed off after waiting so long.

“Sorry for the wait,” she said as she got in the back, settling in and putting on her seatbelt.

“No problem.” He didn’t turn around or complain, just hit the gas. She felt tense leaving town but finally relaxed and got comfortable,watching the endless wall of forest through the windows.

Occasionally, she’d close her eyes, drifting toward sleep but always waking before nodding off.

They’d been driving for about half an hour when the cab swerved too far off the road, nearly losing control. She braced herself, her heart racing.

“Is everything okay?”

There was an odd smell in the cab, and she cringed, leaning over to open the window. They were locked. She breathed through her mouth because the stench only got worse.

He kept driving, swerving on the road. Maybe he was having a stroke or something.

Adrenaline filled her veins. She leaned closer and tapped his shoulder. “Hello?”

Then he began to laugh and laugh, an eerie, high-pitched laugh that sounded inhuman.

“It’s just you and me now. Just you and me.”

“What’s going on? Who are you?”

“Who I am doesn’t matter. But you belong to me now. The winner takes the spoils.”

“Let me out!”

“The wolf took from me, now I take from him. An eye for an eye. Luckily for me, his pack is scouring the forest, but we’ll be so far away before he realizes I’m long gone.”

The rogue bear. Caleb had no clue.

There was no escape for her, no one coming to the rescue.

So many thoughts flooded her mind, so many fears and scenarios. She’d heard this bear had killed so many of his own, even sent the head of one to Joe at the diner. What would he do to her? Would Caleb even find her mutilated body?

“He’ll come for me. You’ll be sorry.”

The bear laughed again. “As far as he knows, you’re at your hotel far, far away.”

“Where are you taking me?”

The car swerved again. “They’re all weak. I’m strong.” He kept chanting it like a mad man.

Caleb had unwittingly handed her over to his enemy. This was surreal, and she wished she could wake up to discover it was all a nightmare.

Her tears wouldn’t stop, and there was no point in hiding them.

The rogue bear was out of his mind, and he wouldn’t have taken her unless he was going to add her to the body count.
