Jetta

I’m running as fast as my feet will carry me.

But this time, I’m not fleeing from a psychotic captor. I’m running for the love of the chase. I’m running because I know Jericho will catch me, and I want him to.

I have minutes, maybe seconds of a head start, and I’m not going to waste it.

I’m also not going to make this easy on him.

So I let my legs fly like wings, and I hit the tree line to the woods faster than his ass can even make it out of the bathtub.

My feet crunch over leaves and twigs and sparse tufts of grass as I head further into the woods. The thrill of being chased lights in my veins like a flare, and when I hear feet pounding behind me, I push myself harder, faster, further. It’s so freeing. Exciting. Invigorating.

I wanted to come back out here—back to where we first collided. Because with Jericho, our connection feels uninhibited. Wild. Animal. I want our first time to be out here, where I feel the freest.

When I sense the air swish against the backs of my legs, I know he’s caught up.

I pivot, never losing speed, as I quickly change course to throw him off. I’m a good runner, but running really isn’t my thing. I know Jericho’s enforcer training has him running as part of his everyday training, so I’m at a disadvantage, especially since I have shorter legs. While I’m trained for martial arts and dance and gymnastics, I’m not an expert runner by any means.

But it’s clear that Jericho is.

Because although I’m fast and strong and have plenty of endurance to spare, he gains on me. Closer and closer, until he’s right on my heels, and my lungs are burning and my arms are pumping, and I know he’s almost won.

So, of course, I trip him.

Spinning around, I sweep my foot out, and he tries to jump out of the way, but I’m too quick.

“Fu—”

He loses his footing and goes sprawling forward, but unfortunately, before I can gloat, he reaches out and snags me by the shirt.

Bam!

We fall to the ground together, with his heavy ass landing sprawled on top of me, and I get the breath squished right out of me. “Ugh.”

With my face smashed into the ground and two hundred pounds of muscle digging into my back, I try to elbow him, but I’m pinned.

“Motherfuck, get off!” I wheeze.

“That’s the idea,” he pants playfully against my ear.

I want to say something snarky for his bad sexual innuendo, but I’m too crushed to breathe. Thankfully, he shifts his weight, and my body cries out in relief as he lifts himself up, supporting his weight with his spread legs and forearms on either side of me.

“You suck ass at taking care of a female,” I accuse, my chest still rising and falling quickly from the run and the adrenaline of being caught.

“How so?” he asks, his nose avoiding my collar to skim up the side of my neck.
