Hunter let out a growl. “I can’t control it.” His head fell forward then he jerked his head and looked at me.

My blood ran cold in my body. I felt a numbing sensation start at my feet and work its way up my entire body. Hunter’s eyes had gone from that unique dark gray to pure black. I whispered his name.

“Run, Ocen, run from me!” He practically screamed the words.

“Fuck.” I took off. Not trusting my instincts. Part of me said to haul ass while the other said to stay by Hunter’s side. I ran into the field, catching sight of others falling to the ground. No one seemed to notice me as the sun began to ascend. It breached the planet’s normal darkness and sent light spraying over the world.

I skidded to a stop as one guy stood. He ripped his shirt clean off. Those spikes on his head started to elongate. Then he dug his hands into his pants and tore apart them apart. I stood there, looking horrified with wide eyes and my mouth hanging open. The big man then faced the sun and howled. He fell to the ground withering as the sun warmed his skin. He was smiling as someone else jumped atop him.

I don’t know what I was expecting. Violent fits of rage and murderous fucks abound. What I saw was a lot different. The woman that jumped on him was tearing her clothes off and they started fucking right there. I didn’t dare move. More people were getting naked. All around me were grunts and moans. It was like the sun made them extremely horny. I didn’t know what to do. Should I make a run for it? Should I get my ass out of harm’s way? I was only wearing a shirt. I pulled it down further to cover my cheeks. Last thing I needed was some horny freak to want a piece of me. Some men were just flailing on the ground while others were finding someone to mate with. It was like a giant orgy.

A loud roar rang out.

I spun. My breath froze mid gasp. Hunter was on all fours, his now black eyes searching the field and stopping when they fell on me. The spikes on his head had elongated to miniature blades. Hunter let out another thunderous roar like his dragon ancestors. Then the man that had become my sexy, handsome hero, started a terrifying charge right at me.

“Fuck.” The word was part shout, part frantic mumble. I spun around, pushing off the rocky ground and ran toward the ships. Someone shot fire out of their mouth. At least I think it was their mouth. Fuck me! Let it be their mouth. My lungs burned as I ran through throngs of naked people. Breasts were bouncing, bare asses flashing, and I saw hips thrusting. It was all quick glimpses as I kept running. Hunter would be close. I had no time to stop and watch. I jumped over two naked men who were going at it hard. Something grabbed my leg. I fumbled, flinging my hands out to catch my fall. There was a body. Didn’t know who. Didn’t care who. I pushed off them, rolling and tucking out of the way. Back on my feet, I ran right into a wall. The ship! I made it.

Something fell into my back. My long, blond hair blocked my view.

I gasped. Even without seeing, I knew who it was.

Hunter’s warm body pressed against me, pushing me into the wall. His warm harsh pants brushed over the side of my neck. He sniffed my skin and made a soft groaning sound. “Mine.”
