“... I suggest you try to run now.”

“No! Leave me alone!” Ava squealed in shock as her overactive mind went into overdrive.

Dropping her camera, Ava flipped off her sandals and ran as fast as she could into the depths of the island forest. The lush tropical foliage beat her body with palm leaves and underbrush, stinging her skin as she went. Despite the pain, she wasn’t going to stop and let this monster kill her, even if the bruises and cuts she could receive from the underbrush would be painful in the morning.

Even though she was never much of a runner, Ava was sure she was going so fast her feet were touching the ground. The sounds of the dark forest sure weren’t helping matters much. The paradise full of luxury was more like a horror movie in the making now.

As her dress snagged on the underbrush, footfalls soon came swiftly behind her, doubling the speed of her own. She knew the evil man was close, and she didn’t know where to turn. Yanking the dress fee, she went into a sprint, not sure which way she was going now. With each step, Ava was getting more lost from fleeing deeper into the island’s thick forest, far off the beaten path from the safety of the resort.

Her heart pounded beneath her ribcage like a drum as she heard his devious laughter coming closer with every step. He was tracking closer, and she knew these would be her last moments alive. If he’d kill her, she prayed he’d do it swiftly and with mercy.

“Leave me alone! Please don’t kill me,” she pleaded.

“Get back here, woman!”

In a split second, he was on her with a maniacal chuckle, or so it seemed in her head. Wrapping his strong arm around her, to prevent her arms from flailing to get away, his other arm covering her mouth.

She screamed under his grip, struggling to break free, but he was far stronger than she. Finally, Ava bit down on his finger and pushed away.

“Get away from me, you monster!”

“Ouch! Son of a... Stop fighting me!” He held her close once more, covering her mouth as he looked into her scared emerald eyes. “Stand still and I’ll let you go. I won’t hurt you. I’m just joking around. Fuck! Why’d you bite me?”

Hunter’s voice rumbled with anger but also a little regret from tormenting the poor woman. From the anger that came from that voice, she was sure she set the devil inside him ablaze and this would be the moment before her impending death. The truth: he was just trying to hold back the evidence that the bite hurt like hell.

Still struggling, he could see the fear in Ava’s eyes grow. He didn’t want to frighten her, but it was amusing she believed he was a real vampire. The rumor had gone on for years and he loved screwing with people who believed it, but this time maybe he went too far

“Listen, sweetheart. I’m going to let you go. Don’t fucking hit or bite me again. And don’t run. If you do, I’m going to pin you against a damn palm tree and spank that pretty little ass of yours until it’s red. Got it?”

Ava nodded as his grip released.

“Why are you chasing me? And why... Oh, god! You’re naked!” she shrieked, covering her eyes.

“It’s not my fault. You asked for it. Why are you standing in the shadows by my bungalow watching strange men like a peeping pervert?”

Letting her fingers slip down her cheeks, she tried to veer her eyes away. “I wasn’t. I was going around taking night photos of the island and I saw you come out of the hut.”

“Yeah, right. You snuck through the trees to watch me skinny dipping. Dirty girl,” he teased with a laugh. “Did you get a peek at what you were looking for?”

“It’s not funny. You scared me. I didn’t mean to watch.”

“Yeah, ya did. Just admit it. You were watching me and loving every minute of it.”

“I... fine! I was just trying to figure out why you’re so far away from the other guests. It’s weird.”

“This is one of the luxury suites that line this side of the island. I like my privacy because everywhere I go the paparazzi are trying to snap pictures of me, and so does anyone who knows who I am. People are always trying to get pictures of me to make a quick buck from the media. And for another reason, I like to swim nude without everyone gawking at me; sort of like you just did.”

Slightly glancing down, she witnessed his hard package on full display. Ava’s eyes quickly shot back up to the starry night sky as a pink blush rushed her face. She was impressed, but still not wanting to just stand there looking at his dick like she’s never seen a man naked before.

“Can you put on some pants or something? It’s sort of creepy talking to a naked guy with a boner in the middle of the forest.”

Hunter just smiled, reaching down to run his hand over his chest. Biting the edge of his lip, in that sexy way that always turned her on from other handsome men, she knew she was in trouble. She instantly felt a wetness pool between her thighs, and no matter how much she tried to deny her body of the thought, him being naked wasn’t helping her raging hormones. Damn him. He was like the pussy whisperer without even trying.

“Do you have a problem with nudity, Miss Ava?”

“No... it’s just...”

Taking a deep breath, she knew what he suddenly started doing while she was trying to keep her eyes away. She wanted to look and check to be sure but was too timid to try. Was he doing what she thought he was?

    Closing her eyes, she leaned her head back on the palm tree. Trying to slow her heavy breathing, she just wanted one moment for him to touch her and relieve the grown need, but the southern bell side of her with her mother's voice in her head rang loud and clear. “Good girls don’t let men take advantage of them. A proper man courts a lady and she requires his utter respect. Don’t just jump into a man's bed without a ring on your finger, young lady.” Shaking her head from the voices of her mother's old-fashioned ways, she let her eyes lull open to find his hand resting on his chest. Slowly, his hand made its way down his chest straight to his thick cock in long slow strokes saying, “And I guess you’re a prude, too.” “Please stop that.” “Mmm. Fuck, that feels good. I was just about to rub one out when you came sneaking up to my bungalow. Why would I stop now while I can look at your sexy ass while I’m doing it? Or would you rather help me out? I could use an extra hand, anyway. It’s

    “How did you know all that about me?” She huffed. “Are you stalking me or something?”“Stop grinding on my junk and I’ll tell you. You need to stop teasing my cock before little Hunter gets a mind of his own. Well... not so little. He’s pretty impressive, isn’t he? I’m sure you’ve figured that out by now by how wet you already are.” He chuckled, knowing he was gifted in that area.“Stop being a pervert and answer the question.”Letting her arousal subside, Ava stopped struggling. Maybe he was right. Rubbing her ass on this naked man in the middle of the woods probably wasn't her finest moment. Had her mother found out about this, she was sure she’d be met with the nagging of how ladies don’t behave this way.“Stop teasing me and tell me.”“All right. I oversee the biggest tech firm in the world. I can find out anything I want when I want. You know who I am, so I’m amazed you don’t realize that sooner.”“You hacked my computer? That’s illegal!”“I doubt the feds care if I uncovered fun

    The next morning, Ava was sitting at her computer when a knock came on the door of her bungalow. Her suite was lined along a series of huts that extended into the ocean with the best view. Lucky for her, it was the first in the line nearest the beach. Once again stuck with water surrounding her, making her stomach turn. She had been thinking of ways to get moved to the main resort away from the terrifying depths of the ocean tides. Standing from her desk, Ava noted the beautiful images she could have taken throughout the day, halted by her missing camera. Even she couldn't deny how lovely the place was. Photography was her biggest joy in life and the one thing that made her feel special, so it was worth the risks. She was good at it and seeing the smiling faces of all the guests of the island had washed away all the stress from the day before. She just wished she could capture it with her lens, but for now, she needed to see who on this island would be visiting her. As she reached th

    Day three on the island, Ava had spent it taking photos and mingling with the guests in the common areas, enjoying the more casual settings around the resort. Later, she headed back to her suite to take a quick shower. Letting the water wash over her, she took a slow relaxing breath as it cooled her tan warm skin. Being in the blazing heat all day, it surprised her she hadn’t had a sunburn yet with how pale she was. Thoughts of Hunter filled her mind as she washed away the day’s heat and sand away. The thoughts of him almost seemed to heat from her body as she closed her eyes in response to remembering him pressing her against the palm tree on the first night in the forest. With her bare ass exposed and him nude, it would have been so easy for him to slip inside her that night. “Mmm. God, he’s so fucking hot... Hunter...” she moaned out his name as her fingers slipped down her body and between her legs. Shaking off the images in her head and the need to pleasure herself, she groaned

    When Ava open the mysterious closet she was in shock. Enclosed was a plethora of leather, latex, and lace. Outfits that she had only dreamed of having for herself lined the walls in perfect display. The lingerie hanging about the walk-in space would set any man into a tizzy of lusty need. Maybe even Hunter if she played her cards right. Most of the items inside she had added to her online wish lists, only making it even more curious what was going on with this crazy island. How could anyone know these were her favorites?Running her hand over a strappy, slave-style lingerie dress, adorned with powder blue chiffon and lace, it reminded her of a fairytale. She swallowed down the lump that had formed in her throat, rummaging through the collection of boudoir attire in awe. She almost wanted to cry from joy. Her sexual fantasies in fashion form were staring back at her, and she couldn’t put her mind around how or why.“This is my dream submissive collection. Am I allowed to even wear thes

    After being primped, waxed, plucked, trimmed, and scrubbed, Ava was feeling like the crew of beauty gurus had prepared her like a Thanksgiving turkey, and she was being offered up to the vampire for a special dinner. Every inch of her was slick and shiny and Rebecca took it upon herself to do a full inspection, even going as far as to check her teeth and undercarriage like a prized pony.“Whoa! What the fuck are you doing?” Ava squealed as Rebecca spun her around and shoved her over to inspect her backside.With a tisk, the woman shook her head. “She needed bleaching but she is a vanilla. We wouldn’t want her having any chafing. This will have to do.”“Hell, no!” Ava shot up, holding her hands over her nude ass. “No one is bleaching anything! Especially not my asshole! You people are crazy.”“Well, it’s a good thing you keep proper hygiene then, isn’t it.”Ava just snarled her, completely offended and grossed out. Distracting her from the thought, a stylist brought her dress, helping

    When reaching their destination, Rebecca pulled the blindfold from Ava’s eyes. In front of them was nothing out of the ordinary for the luxury island. The restaurant was beautiful and a little more extravagant, but even Ava could tell it was just a five-star outdoor restaurantAva huffed in annoyance, expecting something like a castle dungeon or a rave. “This isn’t a kink club. It’s just a boring ol’ ritzy restaurant.”Slinking out from the shadows of the island forest, Hunter stepped up behind her, whispering, “Not everything on this island is as it seems, my pet.”Ava almost jumped out of her skin, turning to slap Hunter’s chest. “Dammit! Don’t fucking do that. You scared the shit out of me!”While laughing, he took a little time to admire the beauty in the stunning green slave outfit. “I told you to never slap me and stop cursing. You’re begging for me to punish you, aren’t you?”“If you don’t want me to slap or say bad words, don’t scare me.”“Fair enough. You look beautiful, by t

    “A kink club? But it’s just a fancy restaurant.”“To the average island goer, yes. Behind that waterfall is a cave entrance to the hottest kink club in the world. Every dirty little thought you have ever had can be fulfilled within those cave walls. Only the island kinksters know about it when they sign up. The rest of the guests will either have invites in their rooms or find them by accident while searching the island. It’s one of the hidden treasures Rowan told everyone about when they arrived.”Looking at the water with utter fear, she realized she may end up close and personal with the waterfall.“Uh... Hunter? How do you get in? The... w... w... w.... water... I... no... no water,” she stammered.Within that moment, he saw the fear radiating from her that couldn’t be denied. He knew a panic attack when he saw it and Ava was suddenly shaking so hard; she was making the glasses on the table almost

    As they made their way to the top of the cliff that overlooked the resort, Ava clung to HUnter as he tried to console her.“I’m sorry, Ava. I love you so much. I was just under so much pressure. When I saw you with her, I just freaked out.”“It’s okay, Master. I love you, too.”As Evaline joined the group she rolled her eyes at the couple. “You have got to be kidding me. isn’t this bitch dead yet?”Stepping to the woman he thought was his stepmother, he was ready to stand his ground. “You can do whatever you want to me. But I won’t let you kill her. I’ll stop you.”“Look around, Hunter,” she said with a laugh, “You don’t really have the upper hand here. Rowan and I are taking over Apollyon and there is not a damn thing you can do about it.”“Where are Onyx and Tessa? You better not have hurt them.”A slow smirk curled on Evaline’s lips. “Oh, you mean those sluts? Atlas and those whores escaped into the caves. We have our men searching for them. It will be a pity when they are found in

    “You never learned restraint,” Rebecca said with a scowl.“Restraint? She’s cheating on me!”“I am not. How could you say that.”“Ava, you’re naked. How can you explain this.”Hearing enough Onyx walked over and smacked him in the back of the head, soon followed by Rebecca who gave him a shove, knocking him flat on his ass.Shocked, he looked over at Ava on the floor next to him who looked completely heartbroken. “What was that for?”“Look at her Hunter,” Onyx yelled. “She’s scared to death. I don’t know what the fuck happened here, but I didn’t fuck your girl. Where’s Tessa?”Rebecca stopped her from hitting him again, as she handed him the iPad. “You and Onyx need to watch the video. Tessa is with Atlas, and she’s safe. She told me everything when I came in.”Watching the video, Hunter saw the security video of Ava and Tessa laughing at the bar, behind them a man whom he knew too well slip up to the bar beside them, slipping something in Ava’s drink. His own board member that had be

    Ava was pacing the floor while Hunter, Atlas, and Rebecca sat with the man with the burn-scarred face and watched her. Hunter was resting on the sofa and his submissive wasn’t very submissive at the moment.“I can’t believe you idiots didn’t tell me you knew this guy. And you!” she scowled pointing at the man. You scared the shit out of me that day on the beach. And come to find out your Hunter’s uncle!”“I’m sorry little red. I didn’t mean to frighten you. I couldn’t let you know who I was. Hunter and Rebecca hid me out here after my sisters' husband came up missing. Damion was my best friend and if they knew I was his silent partner, they would have had me killed too.”“And Atlas, I thought you were here to help. You’ve been drinking margaritas and cliff diving.”“Hey, I’m just here for moral support. This is all about fuck boy over here. I’m a reporter. If anything goes down. I’ll blow this thing wide open and bring the hag and her island boy toy to their knees.”Rebecca agreed. “A

    Rushing into the bungalow, Ava and Rebecca were frantic, yet Hunter wasn’t in bed and nowhere in sight. “Hunter? Are you here? Rebecca, where is he?” Looking around the tiny island home, Rebecca ran to the restroom where she heard the water running and a pool flooding out from the doorway. What she was when she got there was a shock to the system and she rushed to her friend's side. “Ava! Come quick! Call the island medics!” In a pool of water that rushed from the tub, Hunter was lying face down on the floor, soaking wet and lethargic. “Hunter, wake up! Hunter!” When Ava reached the room, her hands flew over her face, trying to not let the scream escape her lips. “Master! Oh, God, no! Is he breathing?” “Barley,” Rebecca said as she scooped him up in her arms, taking him to the bedroom. “Help me get these clothes off him. I’ll call for help.” Hurrying to get his wet clothing free of his body, Ava was sobbing once her shirt was free. Resting her head on his chest, she was shaking

    After Ava and Rebecca had uncovered what was going on, and the plot to kill Hunter, they were sure that Rowan and Evaline were out to take over the Constantine fortune and the Apollyon Corporation. Once Rebecca had lured Rowan away from Hunter, Ava made the call for him to meet her for lunch in a public restaurant on the island so there would be plenty of eyes on them. They couldn’t take the chance of being alone for a second.When reaching the restaurant, her master was already there with two place settings before him with food he knew she liked.As he sipped from his cool iced tea, she approached looking over the delicious island foods.“Hey babe, I ordered for us. I’m starving. The chef sent out this appetizer.”I’m sorry to say I already devoured it.”“Oh, it’s fine. You eat,” she said as he pulled a chair out for her. “Hunter we need to talk.”“Yeah, we do. Rowan found out about the project from some of my investors. I guess he’s wanting in on the deal.”Ava scoffed as she grabbe

    When they returned to the island, Ava was across from Hunter in the bungalow with her head resting on her arms on the desk in the corner. He had been sulking for a while over the fact his project was going to be a bust. He needed to find out if the government was actually looking to take the idea, or if Evaline was lying. He assumed the latter but wasn’t willing to take the risk that for once she was telling the truth. Nothing was adding up and the stress was getting to him.“Master, is there anything I can do?”“No. I just need time to think this through. Why don’t you go find Rebecca and take security with you? I know you have to be hungry. Grab a massage while you’re at it.”“But–”“No, but’s. You’re still hurt and I want you to get some rest. Master’s orders.”With a huff, she grabbed her camera. “Fine. I’m going to take some photos of the windsurfers. I’ll bring you some lunch back.”Before she left, she kissed his forehead and headed to the door. Just as she was about to exit, a

    Hunter and Ava made love throughout the night, taking care of her injured state. Sometime in the night, they ended up in the master bedroom, falling asleep in each other's arms and discussing dreams of a future together. Maybe it was too soon to consider marriage, but Hunter was never one to drag his feet. He knew what he wanted and he went for it. Lucky for him, Ava wanted a relationship, too.The next morning he was humming a tune in the kitchen as he made them breakfast in bed while Ava rested. Whistling on his way back into the bedroom with their breakfast, he quickly stopped in his tracks when he found her crying with a phone in hand on the edge of the bed.“Baby, what’s wrong?”Handing over the phone, Ava was sucking back tears as she held her ribs. “They’re not going to stop.”When he read the threats on her life, he had enough. Setting the food try on the nightstand, he went to his overnight bag and pulled on his clothes.“Stay here.”“No, please. I can’t be here alone. I’ll g

    When Hunter was able to take Ava back to the house, she found he had already fixed the broken door and installed security around the house. Tucking her into bed, he sat next to her taking her hand.“Are you sure you’re okay here?”Giving a nod she pulled him to cuddle next to her. “As long as you’re here with me.”“I’m not going anywhere. I already sent a text to Evaline and told her I wasn’t coming home. She never even responded, so I know damn well she is behind this. She never ignores a text or call.”“Something else is bothering you, isn’t it?”Taking a slow breath he thought back to the night he thought she left. “Ava, did Evaline offer you a bribe to leave town? I never mentioned it before, but I need to know.”Looking away, tears welled in her eyes. “Yes,” she said sheepishly. “I didn’t take it, Master. I swear. I’d never betray you like that.”“Baby, you don't have to call me that all the time when we’re alone. You mean more than me than just sex. I knew you’d never take that

    “Lights out, bitch!”Turning toward the voice, Ava ducked, avoiding a blow to the head by a metal bar, just inches from her head. “Ah! Get away! Hunter! Help me!”“You’re boy toy can’t help you now.”Taking another swing, the man made contact with Ava’s ribs, making her tumble to the floor. As blow after blow came, she pleaded for help, wishing Hunter would be there to protect her. At that moment, she wondered if he was there at all. Was he the one in the room? Was he alive?When a boot came hard to her side, she was sure the man had broken a rib. Rolling to the side, his next kick sent him off balance, allowing Ava to scurry free, taking off into the dungeon room on her knees. Slamming the door behind her, she locked it, hearing the man trying to bust through the door from the other side. Unfortunately for her, a dungeon room had no windows, and nowhere to go. Her cell phone had fallen from her hand in the scuffle and she was trapped.Looking around the room, she struggled to get aro
