wall had he not pulled her to him. All
at once she was aware that her breasts were flattened against his
six-pack abs, but what frightened her most was his equally massive
hard-on. As a new threat engulfed her, Toni began to struggle. His
powerful hands seemed to be everywhere at once, as he easily
subdued her.
    She wasn’t afraid of rape, she was afraid of
herself. It had been so long since she’d had sex, and lately the
toys in her nightstand drawer weren’t satisfying her needs. This
man, Cormac, was the ideal version of the Viking hero in the last
romance novel she’d read. How many times had she masturbated with
that damn Viking on her mind? Now here he was, in the flesh, and
she was growing exceedingly horny. It wasn’t like Toni to think
about doing it with a stranger, not to mention while in a situation
that was beyond weird.
    The next thing Toni knew she was flush
against Cormac. Her nipples were hard and tingling, and a strong,
undeniable feeling of desire fluttered wildly inside her belly. The
arousal she saw on his face frightened her in its intensity, but
what she felt was even more frightening. The way he held himself,
the way his nostrils flared as if taking in her scent, trying to
determine if she was receptive, made her hot. She already knew he
was turned on, and with him, it was palpable. His cock was pounding
against her like some medieval weapon, ready to invade her body and
claim victory. Oh, lord, there was that Viking again! Staring into
his eyes, filled with lust, Toni shook her head no.
    Suddenly he picked her up until their faces
were level. She opened her mouth to speak, but the words were
locked in her throat. His warm breath bathed her face, and then his
tongue was against her lips, tracing them. She gasped at the
sensuousness of it, her body buzzing with hunger while she waited
for his kiss. He surprised her by lifting her higher, until her
breasts were even with his mouth.
    Her eyes rounded and she quivered, sucking in
her breath. He wouldn’t! But he did. His tongue came out and traced
her hard nipples through the thin film covering them. Wet heat
surged through Toni, and she knew that her body was preparing for
his possession. Then he took one breast into his mouth and suckled
on it as if he was getting nourishment. Toni closed her eyes and
moaned loudly, suddenly coming alive.
    The strong pull of his mouth caused the
floodgates to open. She couldn’t believe the intensity of craving
she was experiencing, what he was drawing from her love-starved
body. Her heart raced. She waited with breathless anticipation when
he finally moved onto her other breast, and repeated his action. A
sharp sensation zinged all the way down to her aching cunt. It was
crazy, but nothing seemed to matter at that moment except what he
was making her feel.
    Oh God! Why don’t I stop him? This isn’t
real! Only it was all too real. And Toni’s emotions were
wreaking havoc on her common sense to the point that she had none.
She was shocked that she was enjoying his foreplay, which was
amazingly erotic. How could such a man, who appeared so
rough-edged, be this intuitive to a woman’s needs? To her
desire?
    Toni recognized that the moans echoing around
them were hers, mingling with Cormac’s guttural-like sounds. She
felt his long, hard, and hot cock poking against her. Good God, she
marveled once again at how huge it was! If he fucked her, would she
be able to take all of him? All she could think about was his warm
mouth covering hers, and the rough feel of his tongue against hers.
His kiss started out gentle, almost exploratory, until she squirmed
against him, wanting more. Somehow, Toni had to convey her
message.
    She reached down and grabbed his cock through
the hide covering it, and squeezed.
    The growl that escaped him sounded more
animal than human, and was the first sign that he might not be as
human as he appeared. Toni should have been frightened, but she
knew that it was a sound of pure animal lust
