Judging from the slowed, gradually fading footsteps behind me, Parker decided to follow his brother. I contemplated whether or not I'd made the right decision when I caught another glimpse of movement up ahead. It was the slightest flash. If I wasn't looking in that direction, I would have missed it.

I smiled to myself and slipped around the corner.

A shadow flowed further down the corridor towards that second bend. They moved slowly at first, but then darted across a beam of moonlight.

I grinned. There was no mistaking that luscious shape. Those perfect hips and generous breasts. The body that begged to be fucked. Her silhouette alone made my cock stand up at attention. She was so fucking gorgeous. She genuinely had no idea how beautiful she was. To me, she was absolutely breathtaking. So much more than a queen or a goddess. She was the woman who held a pincer grip on my heart and my balls.

She darted across the second beam and flew off to the end of the corridor and out of sight.

I broke into a quiet trot, but I wasn't trying to stay unseen. Let my prey know I was behind her, stalking her every step. Her heart would race, knowing I was there, just out of reach.

Her footsteps headed towards the stairs.

I visualised the layout of that part of the school. Smiled again.

I caught another glimpse of her as she started down the stairs, her hand on the banister. By the time I reached the top, she'd reached the bottom and disappeared.

I trotted down and headed straight into the darkened library. Whether or not she'd come here was a guess, but an educated one. No pun intended.

She could have slipped into a dozen different places, but instinct told me she was here. Instinct that was proven correct a moment later with a whiff of her perfume in the air. The scent was subtle, but lingering, enticing.

"I know you're in here," I called out softly. "The hound is on the scent of the beautiful fox."

"Maybe," she called back. "But the library is a big place."

I followed the sound of her voice to the section containing legal books. Only her scent remained.

"I like a challenge," I told her. I stood still and listened.

A faint shuffle sounded from only a handful of metres away. Silently, I followed the sound, stalking my prey more like a lionthan a hound. When I caught her, I was going to fuck her on her hands and knees. After I spanked her ass red.

I circled around to where I thought she'd be, hoping to cut her off. When I reached the stack of history books, she wasn't there.

"Come out, come out wherever you are," I teased.

She giggled. "No way. I'm not making it easy on you."

"But we like it easy." That was Parker's voice. The twins must have finally found out where we'd gone.

"Nottooeasy," Hunter said. "Too easy isn't fun."

Fuck. I was hoping to catch her long before they showed up. I didn't mind sharing, but I had a competitive streak almost as long as my dick. That was one thing I shared with the twins. We hated losing.

Lila streaked out of one stack and into another.

Stealth wasn't going to help me now. I raced after her. If I was going to win, I was going to do it with speed, not with assassin skills.

I almost caught up with her in the study area, but she bolted around a wide table and stopped, putting it between us. She was panting, the rise and fall of her chest making her breasts move tantalisingly.

"Now what?" she teased.

I grinned and chased her around the table, gaining ground but not enough to catch her.

Not yet.

She ducked away and into another stack.

"I've come to the conclusion, if we're going to catch this sneaky fox, we need to work together," Hunter said.
