Chapter 9

I don’t know how long I was out for. When I opened my eyes, I saw the flickering of the torch on the cave’s ceiling. My eyelids were heavy as I blinked, bringing my vision back into focus.

As I moved around, I felt the soft mattress underneath me and a pile of thick blankets cocooned around my body, keeping me warm. Slowly, I freed my arms and pushed the blankets away so I could sit up.

Leaning against the headboard, I rubbed my head. It felt like I had been hit by a car. I groaned and closed my eyes, trying to ease the pain that throbbed through my temples.

“How are you feeling?” A soft voice broke the silence, causing me to jump in surprise. I pressed against the headboard, my fingers tightening around it in fright. Instantly, my heart sped up inside my chest. “Hey, it’s okay, no need to be frightened…” His voice was different from the savage. It was warmer – more inviting. I found myself relaxing at the sound of it, but still, I was too dazed to respond.

Finally, I caught sight of the man in the cave’s gloom. He was sitting in the shadows, his face obscured, but it was easy to tell that this was the bear from before. He was still stark naked, his powerful body on full display before me. I blushed and looked away.

“Are you hurt?”

I shook my head.

“Good.” He leaned forward, his features falling into the light. He smiled kindly at me, his dark eyes sparkling. “I’m sure this is all a lot to take in, but I can assure you, it’s not at all as bad as you think.” Slowly, he reached out his hand.

I flinched and moved back, wondering what he was going to do to me. My heart beat even faster and I closed my eyes.

To my surprise, he started to rub my back in a soothing motion. His touch was gentle. His large hands moved in small circles, melting away the tension that had built up in my body.

I bit my lip to hold back the moan that threatened to escape my lips. I knew I shouldn’t be enjoying this experience, but I just couldn’t help it. His touch felt so good – it was like my body somehow yearned for it.

Before I even realized what I was doing, I laid back down and rolled onto my stomach. I turned my head to the side so I could admire the leader. It was then that I noticed he had a massive erection.

His cock had looked huge before, but now, it looked impossibly large. It was thick, veiny, and smooth. It twitched slightly between his legs as he continued to rub my back, moving closer and closer to my ass. I bit my lip harder.

Despite my fears, I found myself starting to get turned on. My cheeks felt like they were on fire. Butterflies roamed around in my tummy. My pussy surged with energy at the sight of his length. I had the urge to reach out and touch it, to wrap my lips around his girth, to make him feel good. I didn’t even know where these desires were coming from. It was like the sight of him was unearthing some carnal instincts I didn’t know I had.

Without a word, the leader took off my shirt, rolling it off my body with ease. I didn’t even protest, even though I knew I should. This shouldn’t be happening. I shouldn’t be letting it happen. But at the same time, a part of me wanted this. I couldn’t explain it nor could I understand it, but I wanted this man.

I needed him.

With a quick motion, he undid my bra and tossed it across the cave. I expected him to make a move, but he just kept rubbing my back. I could feel the roughness of his palms against my skin and somehow, it felt even better. He pressed against my muscles, easing away the tension and making me relax. I closed my eyes and sighed in pleasure, arching my back ever so slightly, like a cat getting her back scratched.

A part of my mind was still screaming at me to escape, to run away from these men, but there was no point. The wild man had told me that I was deep in the woods. Even if I escaped, how would I get back to the trail? These men had to bring me back. I would just have to cooperate if I ever wanted to go home again.

With this thought in mind, I decided there was no harm in enjoying myself. The leader was sexy beyond all measure. He seemed gentle and compassionate. I might as well have some fun …

Taking a deep breath, I reached out and wrapped my hand around his shaft. He looked down with a slight look of surprise in his eyes. I met his gaze and felt a shiver running down my spine.

Deep down, I knew this man wouldn’t hurt me.

I started to stroke him up and down, my fingers barely able to wrap around his thick girth. He groaned in pleasure and rocked his hips forward in response. I picked up my pace, going faster and faster until he was rock hard in my hand. I didn’t know how it was possible, but he seemed to have grown even more.

“Do you want me?” He asked, his voice deep and sensual as he sat down on the edge of the bed. His scent wrapped around me, intoxicating me. Between my legs, I could feel just how wet I really was. This man had turned me on more than anyone else before. I stared at his godlike body. His sexy, chiseled face. His broad shoulders. Everything about him was perfect.

Of course I wanted him.
