Even with Bear’s subtle warning, I couldn’t break the mesmerizing hold they seemed to have on me.

The brothers had the same expression.

Scorching need to claim me in any way they saw fit.

I didn't know how I was so certain of that, but it was as crystal-clear to me as the fact that I stood before them.

Wetness continued to flow from between my thighs, an uncomfortable sensation, but also one that made me even more desperate to see where all of this would go.

A low rumble filled the room as all three males stalked closer. I felt my eyes widen, and although I didn’t feel afraid… I felt something akin to anticipation and survival.

And still, they came closer.

“Run, Goldie. Run for us.” Bear’s voice was so low and rough with lust that it was a straight shot of heat right to my pussy. The purring sounds coming from Bruin and Ursid were almost tangible. It was as if all three of them were licking every single inch of my body.

“Go on,” Ursid taunted.

“Let us chase you.”

I stared into Bruin’s eyes after he spoke, swallowed roughly, and knew what I had to do. I knew what I wanted.

Them.

So I ran.

Goldie

Iturned on my heel and ran down the hallway but cursed myself, because there wouldn't be any way for me to “escape.”

But this wasn’t about trying to evade them.

This was some wild, almost feral, instinct in me that said I had to do this. I had to run, give themmeto chase, so they’dhuntme.

The energy that coursed through me, the anticipation, excitement, and arousal was like nothing I’d experienced. It gave me this feeling as if I were floating or maybe falling to my death.

But they'd catch me. Of that, I was sure.

I was theirs, because I had no intention of denying any of them.

They could have easily caught me by now, but I had yet to hear them following. They gave me a head start, didn’t want to make this too easy… have it end too swiftly. And that had me so turned on I actually moaned out loud.

My chest rose and fell so forcefully that I grew dizzy from it, but I had no control over anything anymore, and in all honesty, I just wanted to let go, to give in to my desires and turn my body over to their animalistic dominance.

And then I heard them tearing through the cottage after me. I had almost missed the small nondescript door off the back hallway.

It wasn’t elaborately carved in beautiful detail like the rest, so that should have had me staying away from it, but I made a beeline toward it, because I knew that was my only way out.

Once through, I slammed it shut, taking quick note I’d just found myself in a cave. Small fires were positioned intermittently on either side of the dirt path, giving minimal light.

I only took a second to stare ahead of me. Despite the fires, I could only make out twenty feet in front of me, the rest a dark, bottomless abyss.

Snapping out of it, I took off down the cavern until it opened up to a large area. I came to a stop, my braid having come undone so my still damp hair curled wildly around my face.

I panted, looking around for only a few seconds, but time seemed to stand still as I took everything in. There was a natural spring in the corner, a light waterfall trickling from the rocky wall and into the pool.

Crudely made baskets were on the other side of the cavern along with thick furs that made up what were clearly pallets to sleep on. In the center was a firepit, along with a vent carved out of the very top of the cave ceiling to let the smoke out. I could still smell hints of pine and ash, could even feel the warmth from when it had been lit not that long ago.
