“Come out and play, Logan. It’s about time, is it not? Or are you just a spineless coward who plays only with vulnerable, drugged women?”

“What the hell are you doing, Yara? Don’t make him angry,” Ryden whispered angrily, struggling to get up.

“He won’t kill me. He wants my attention, and he has it now, but he’ll kill you,” I said to Ryden before whirling around when I heard the gun going off. A bullet whizzed past my ear, too close for comfort. “Do you want to kill me? After all this time, Logan? Don’t you love me?”

“You know nothing, you bitch.” He sounded pained, angry. “You don’t know anything. You’re the reason I—I…”

“Aren’t you The Strangler? Didn’t you write letters to me?”

“I am. I did.”

There.

“He doesn’t sound lovestruck,” Ryden said with a scoff. “Now, get your fucking boot off my back, and help me up, Red.”

I knew he wasn’t over the fact that I had lied and made a fool out of him, but I knew he’d get over it. We’d talk if we had to, or I’d fuck him until he lost his mind and memory.

Either could work. Kat looked like she wanted to smack me.

“Stop moving and stay down,” I said. He hissed and writhed like a worm under my feet.

“If you don’t let me get up, I’m going to…”

Before I could realize what he was going to do, he grabbed my leg in one hand and, with a tug, pulled me down on his hard body.

This is not the time to have a wet pussy. You can’t fuck when The Strangler is shooting at you, Kat admonished. No, no, Yara. This is beyond insane.

Wellll…

“You fool…” I glared at Ryden. My words died when I saw the searing look in his eyes. Then, through the thick foliage, I spotted Logan Jones closing in on us. He was farther than I’d assumed but steadily closing the gap. “Stay still,” I warned Ryden as his fingers trailed along my spine. I arched into his touch when he squeezed my ass, but my eyes were focused on Logan. With a steady hand, I took my shot without even blinking as Ryden’s erection went harder beneath me.

“Fuck,” Ryden moaned. “Red…”

A howl pierced the air, indicating my bullet had found its mark. But I wouldn’t let Logan die, not so easily.

He had to look into my eyes. He had to see the pain he’d caused before drawing his final breath. Gritting my teeth, I pulled the trigger again, making sure to aim it at the hand that was holding the gun. Another scream ricocheted along the woods.

“Fucking bitch,” Logan shouted. I shot again and missed, but Logan was no longer at the top of the food chain. He was wounded and I had Ryden. Two animals were always better than one.

I’d never hunted with a partner before, but…I now understood the appeal of it.

“Is he still there?” Ryden asked as he tugged my pants down and palmed my naked ass. “Where the hell is your underwear?” he whispered, his voice incredulous.

Really? He’s worse than you. Kat sighed.

“I didn’t have time for underwear…” His fingers went to my hair, and he pulled me down until his lips were on mine. “We can’t do this now.” Even as I said that, I was humping him. “I shot him, though. Twice. He must be bleeding.”

“I know.” But he didn’t move as he groped my ass before spanking me. “That’s for all the lies.”

I moaned. Slap. “That’s for making me look like a fool.” Slap. “That’s for being a fucking tease.”

“If you continue this, I’ll forget that we’re this close to dying, and fuck you, Ryden.” My voice was a warning as he pushed his hand up and traced his fingers down my tits. His other hand pulled my pants further down until his fingers were on my pussy.

“You’re such a greedy whore,” he said, thrusting two fingers inside me. I couldn’t close my eyes. I had to keep looking for Logan while Ryden fingered my pussy. I moved with him, trying to take more of his finger inside me, and he chuckled. “My whore.”

My pussy tightened, and he moaned, which was broken by another gunshot echoed through the woods. Logan wasn’t retreating yet.

My cheeks were burning hot when Ryden jumped up from the ground and gave me his hand.
