Page 17 of Kidnapped from the Paradise Resort

“Hey!” she gasped, jerking away—or trying to, anyway. J’orn had such a tight grip on her hips she could barely move. “Hey!” she repeated, grabbing his horns and tugging them sharply to get his attention. “You have to stop—I never said you could…could kiss me like that!”

He looked up at her, a wolfish grin on his face.

“You never said Icouldn’t, either,” he pointed out. “What’s the matter, Kara—don’t you like to have your pussy kissed?”

“Not in public and not by a man who’s too young for me!” she exclaimed.

His smile turned to a frown and he abruptly released her and rose to tower over her again.

“Why do you care so much that I’m younger than you? I’ve worked hard to make my body strong for you—to be worthy of you!”

Kara didn’t know what to say.

“J’orn, please—I can see that you…that you’ve changed and worked hard over the past year. And I appreciate that you find me attractive?—”

“Attractive? You’re fucking gorgeous—a beautiful Mature Elite and you damn well know it!” He glared down at her. “Come on—let’s get you to your resort.”

Then he turned and started walking, leaving Kara no choice but to follow him.

J’ORN

J’orn burned for her. His cock was pulsing behind the prison of his flight leathers—achingwith need and yet she didn’t want him.

Shouldn’t have tasted her,he told himself.

Not that he’d gotten very far—his tongue had barely dipped into her soft little slit before she was demanding that he stop. But it had been enough to get the flavor of her pussy honey. And her taste—as well as her sweet feminine scent—was fucking addictive.

Stupid,he told himself savagely.Stop acting so stupid. You’re going to have to accept that she doesn’t want you!

But Goddess-damn it, he wascertainthey were meant to be together! Every fiber of his being longed to Claim her—to make her his and Bond her to him forever! It was so fucking frustrating that she didn’t feel the same way!

Still, he couldn’t force her love. For now, all he could do was escort her to the resort she was staying at and be sure she was safe. Then he needed to start following the leads he had to find the kidnapping ring that was taking women.

Even if the woman of his dreams was nearby, he still had a job to do.

KARA

J’orn said nothing else until they reached the tall gates of the Fem Lovely Resort. The wall around the resort was made of dusty-rose-colored bricks and the gates themselves were gold.

There was a small sign posted beside the golden gates that said,

“Please ring the bell for assistance.” And hanging on a hook beside the sign was a tiny silver bell with golden filigree flowers all over it.

Kara looked doubtfully at the tiny bell which was no bigger than her thumb. Would the people inside those massive walls really be able to hear such a small instrument? Nevertheless, there was nothing to do but take the bell off the hook and shake it.

To her surprise, the sound that came from the little silver bell was so loud she dropped it to clap her hands over her ears.BONG…BONG…BONG…It was like being directly under a huge church bell when it was being rung!

With cat-like reflexes, J’orn caught the bell in one big palm and silenced it by closing his fingers over it.

“Oh!” Kara gasped. “I had no idea it would be soloud.”

“Sound transfer technology,” was J’orn’s terse reply. She had a feeling he was still angry with her—and maybe also angry with himself for declaring his feelings again.

She wished she could find a way to make things right between them. She found him incredibly attractive—much more than she should. If only there wasn’t such an age gap she would have been happy to date him.
