You’re going to need all the energy you can get.”
“If you think I’m going to do that with you again, then you’re very mistaken.”
Again he chuckled, “Oh sweet, I plan on doing it all night long.”
She needed to get away, and do it now, before she fell for him. That was her only thought at the moment. Already she felt strange. There was this warming sensation that started at the pit of her stomach and began pulsing down between her legs.
Already her clit started to heat up and throb. And that was something she wasn’t going to give in to.
“Stop calling me sweet!” She rose and went after him with her knife. Her anger and the sexual desire and frustration, rising inside her like a burning flame, left Kera feeling strangled with emotions.

He grabbed her wrist just as she pounced on him, holding the knife above her head. Devon was very impressed at how strong she was when pissed. Kera seemed to use her whole body to try to get her arm down and that damn knife closer to his face. But since she didn’t weigh that much he was able to hold her back with some ease. “You son of a bitch!” she grunted.
Devon couldn’t help himself and laughed at her. “Come on, Kera. Is that all you’ve got?”
With a little pressure on her wrist and a twist, he managed to force her to drop the knife. But that movement gave her the upper hand, enabling her to do something he wasn’t expecting.
Kera landed her knee squarely in his nuts this time, causing him to let go of her arms and double over in pain like he had never felt in his whole life! Devon rolled over to his stomach, holding his balls and trying not to vomit from the pain. He glared at her from the corner of his eye as she crawled away and 49
headed for the door.
“You’re sick if you think this is a game,” she said in a deadly voice. “This is my life you’re fucking with and as far as I’m concerned this charade is all over. You may be good in bed, but that is about as far as this thing between us is going to go.
Period!”
She got up, backed herself all the way to the door. All Devon could do was lay there watching her, hoping like hell he wasn’t going to be sick.
Kera opened the door, which the staff who brought in the food and changed the bedding had forgotten to lock. Helplessly, he watched her run out.
But Devon wasn’t worried. She couldn’t get out of the Compound without him, and she had nothing on but the robe.
The only thing he might have to worry about would be someone else thinking that he could kiss Kera or that she was free. Then Devon would mostly pity the poor bastard, only because he knew what would happen if someone tried to kiss her. Hell, he was feeling it now and all he did was call her sweet.
“Okay, Kera,” he said to himself as he tried to stand and winced at the pain. “We’ll play hide and seek, but when I get a hold of you, the game is going to be all mine!”

Chapter Five
Kera sat hunched in a corner in the hallway, focusing on all the sounds around her, listening for Devon, and breathing hard.
She knew she’d landed a hard hit this time and was surprised he had not sounded some kind of alarm when she ran from him.
She closed her hands over her ears to diminish the sounds of others moaning in pleasure. The sounds reminded her of why she was here. And Devon.
Perspiration dampened her forehead and her robe was starting to irritate her skin slightly, scratching her flesh, which suddenly seemed too sensitive. Her clit throbbed harder with a newfound need that she just refused to acknowledge.
Kera kept moving from corner to corner, trying to find some way to get out of the compound and stay hidden by the shadows.
The more she moved around, the worse the robe felt on her skin.
Within minutes of hiding, Kera was drenched in sweat, her body felt as if it was on fire, and the pounding between her legs became unbearable.
“I know you’re around here, Kera,”
