Different Type of Prey
A Different Type of Prey
The storm wasn't the only thing causing electricity in the air. Flashes of lightning cast light into the darkness of the warehouse. Rain hammered the roof, covering the sound of her footsteps as she slowly crept around the perimeter. Gun in hand, Rhea Kingston could feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Going against the orders of her captain once again was going to land her in more than hot water. Eight victims had lost their lives at the hands of the serial killer known as the black rose ripper, known for leaving black roses on his victims bodies. Captain Thurso had brought her on the case because she had a talent for getting into the minds of killers and figuring out their next moves. However this one had been doing a good job of keeping her guessing. So far all they had to go on was a partial DNA profile that if brought up in court, could be easily discarded.
The wind kicked up outside as she completed her check of the perimeter. Another warehouse she could cross off the list she had put together. She had visited four tonight and each one had given up absolutely nothing. Turning towards the door, she placed her hand on her handle against the metal when a thump sounded from a few feet behind her. Gun still in hand, she turned and headed over to where she guessed the sound had come from. It could be animals, she had seen her fair share of rats and mice tonight, scurrying across her path on their nightly hunts for food. As her heart rate began kicking down, she turned to go back to the door when a strong arm wrapped around her throat, their other hand moving down to her gun.
'Drop it.' A low voice whispered, their breath hot against her ear.
'I have back up on route.' She lied and the reply was a low rough laugh, his chest vibrating softly.
'Nice try. I've been on your tail all night detective, you're on this little hunt on your own, you didn't even tell that partner who bumbles along after you.'
He'd been watching her? For how long? How had she missed that she was being followed? Every possible scenario for the outcome of this situation went through her mind and she did not fair well in any of them.
She felt the cold blade of the knife against her cheek, a stark contrast to the heat of his breath as he continued whispering in her ear.
'You were so close. But you made one crucial mistake.' He growled.
'And that was?'
'You didn't realise you were being hunted.' She felt the blade tip go through the layers of her skin before the warm sensation of blood slowly running down her neck. It was a small cut, but a cut nonetheless. She was about to ram an elbow into him when she felt his mouth move from her ear down to her neck. A shiver shot through her body, the fluttering feeling in her stomach going completely against her mind which was screaming to run. Despite her best effort, she couldn't stop her body from shaking lightly.
Something changed, his grip loosened around her throat and she felt his tongue against her skin, gently licking up the trail of blood.
'I'm not going to hurt you.' His hand slid round to her front, pulling her back against him.
Tilting her head to the side, she closed her eyes as his lips traced soft kisses up her neck to her ear and back down again. A moan escaped her lips and she wished she could have taken it back, his grip around her tightened and she could feel his erection pushing against her back. A growl rumbled from him, his lips vibrating against her throat.
Her body betrayed her, moving back so there could be little space between them. Her hand came up to his hand was on her stomach and she dug her nails in lightly.
'Easy kitten. Enjoy it.' He chuckled as he began walking backwards, taking her with him. He led her to the other side of the warehouse, several crates and pieces of furniture had been discarded.
He positioned her in front of a wooden crate then slowly turned her to face him. Rhea looked up and was met by a pair of sapphire eyes gazing down at her. His hair dark and coming down over his eyes, stubble covered his chin. He smiled at her, bringing his hand to cup her chin.
'I've had my eye on you for a while, detective. Always so near yet so far. I like it.' He leaned down and captured her mouth in a passionate kiss. Rhea lifted her arms around his neck and tip toed to deepen the kiss. Why the hell did this feel so good? It shouldn't feel this good.
Another growl rumbled from his throat, his rough hand coming up to caress her cheek. His stubble scratched against her as their tongues fought for control. His other hand slid down her side and moved to cup between her legs. She gasped into his mouth and he pulled back smirking at her.
'Like that kitten?' As his hand pressed against her pussy, sending a jolt of pleasure through her body.
She couldn't reply because his mouth was on hers again, a small whimper sounded as his hand moved from between her legs up and under her shirt. He pulled down her bra and teasingly pinched her nipples, one, then the other. Her head leaned back as she moaned, feeling the warmth between her legs.
Her own hands slid under his shirt, feeling his hard abs, moving up to his chest. He pulled his t-shirt over his head letting it fall to the floor.
'Worship me.' He demanded.
Kissing up his chest, she swirled her tongue around his nipples gently biting one and then the other.
'Bite.' His voice guttural.
She obeyed, biting into his flesh and hearing him moan as her teeth sunk into his chest.
