CHAPTER FOUR
Callahan was running for her life.
Her bare feet crunched against the fallen leaves, echoing loudly in her ears. Every noise she made was one move closer to being caught. Panting, she paused in her fleeing to gain her bearings. She wasnât sure how deep into the woods she was. Would anyone even hear her scream?
The thought ignited another spark of fear.
Beyond that, her bladder was full to bursting. She desperately wanted to stop and urinate but she couldnât risk being still for that long.
A twig snapped behind her, and she turned toward the sound, heart thundering in her ears. Her desperate breaths were whistling in and out of her nose as her chest heaved.
Suddenly, a voice, dark and threatening, peppered the air, âFee, fi, fo, fumâI can nearly taste the maiden on my tongue.â
Throughout the decade she had known Etheridge, Callahan had never heard him sound so dangerous. A lightning bolt of adrenaline shot through her and with that bolt, she took off like a flash.
The hem of her dress snagged on underbrush. She knew her feet were likely being torn up but she couldnât feel anything. Her whole body was solely focused on survival and escaping the monster chasing after her.
As she wove around another tree, a high-pitched scream worked its way up her throat as her ankles were snagged up in a snare. It yanked her off her feet and jerked her into the sky, until she was floating feet off the ground. Callahan tried to swing her body back and forth to garner momentum to see if the line of the snare would snap, but it held strong. Her dress blinded her, covering her face wholly and exposing her dewy center to the night air.
She felt helpless, like a coyote caught in a bear trap.
But the helplessness and fear were turning into something molten within herâa stunning, fiery arousal unlike anything she had ever felt before.
Callahan hung from the snare, feeling the throbbing in her head from the blood pooling there. Her heart was a drumbeat, loud and foreboding in her ears. She strained to hear anything in the forest around her but could only make out the creek of branches swaying in the wind.
A sudden touch on her thigh, like a bug crawling on her, made her cry out. A gravelly laugh hit her ears. Callahan realized, all at once, that the tickle to her thigh mustâve been Etheridgeâs fingers.
âLittle maiden,â Etheridge purred. âBefore we begin, what is your safe word? What word will you cry out if it all becomes too much?â
Safe word, Callahan thought. Yes, sometimes she and Ederic needed a safe word when they played hard.
âBellevue,â she answered, voice breathy. âMy safe word is Bellevue.â
âBellevue,â Etheridge breathed. âCry it out for me if you canât handle what happens next.â
His palm slapped against the generous flesh of her ass, cracking out a sharp sound that echoed with her squeal.
âAre you ready, darling?â asked the orc. He was prowling around her. Callahan couldnât see him through the gauze of her dress, but she could feel the primal energy he was exuding.
