Chapter 46

• I knew running was a bad idea, but I started to do it without thinking. I darted away from him and felt his hot breath on my neck before I was halfway across the circle. For all the brutality I knew he could muster the take down was gentle. He twisted his body to take the fall, but kept me tightly in his arms. Twisting back I found my naked breasts pinned to the ground as his weight trapped me beneath him.
• "Surrender mate," he whispered in my ear. "You did well."
• I had no chance of winning and I knew that, but I abhorred the idea of just giving up. I pushed up slightly and found no give. He moved his hands to grab my wrists and pinned them down. I felt his human teeth on the back of my neck and I knew he was waiting for me.
