-Hope- As the hours passed, both of us seemed to grow more energized. Phoenix’s energy took on a more intense edge, but it wasn’t frightening. Rather, it heightened my own instincts, urging me to flee. I knew I didn’t need to run just yet, but the anticipation was getting to me. Now that I had a glimpse of what awaited me tonight, the wait was excruciating. I found myself eagerly anticipating this hunt. I was curious to discover what Phoenix had in store for me once he caught me. Would he pleasure me again with his hand? Would he lead me back to his room before f*cking me? Or perhaps he would claim me right there in the woods? The idea held a certain allure, one that my body and wolf didn’t seem to oppose. Let me have some control for part of the night! my wolf urged. I shook my head.
