quick on her feet. She twisted back and away from him, a manic grin across her cheeks, her blue eyes sparkling with mischief again – and although his leg was cursing him, he was too turned on to care.
    The hunt was on.
    “Did that hurt?” She mocked in a high-pitched, girlish voice, and he growled, stalking towards her, forcing her to backpedal a few steps.
    “I’m about to show you exactly what it felt like.” He lunged for her and she countered with a swipe of the cane that had him jerking back to avoid it hitting his arm. If he didn’t know better, he’d have thought she’d practiced with the damn implement because she held it delicately, but already seemed confident with it.
    The girl laughed. Actually laughed at him. “What did you say?” She feigned having to think for a moment, and then she pointed her finger at the ceiling and widened her eyes like she’d had an idea. “That’s right. Come and get me.”
    Mateo looked her over and the haze of lust growing inside him was fighting the cold, calculating killer he normally was until neither side was winning and his head felt like a mess. She paused her steps a yard or two away, the cane angled down at her side which caused his eyes to drift back up her long legs, her curves, and the soft swell of her breasts peeking out of her top.
    He wanted her naked. He wanted to fuck her. He wanted her to fight him so he could win and hear her scream his name as he took her.
    When he finally made himself meet her eyes again his cock jumped because her intense stare was locked on his, and she looked just as excited as he was.
    Could that be possible?
    Before he lingered too long on the possibility he rolled his shoulders and stalked towards her, and this time she backed up. He faked to the right and she switched the cane to her left hand in defense, but he countered and reached for her other side. As his fingers wrapped around her upper arm he felt her muscles tense, and he blocked the swing of the cane. Twisting he tried to rip it from her hands, but the silky smoothness of the wood was yanked from his grip before he could get a good hold. She kicked him in the knee and he almost buckled, but was able to catch himself and shove her back farther into the room.
    The girl was light on her feet, not even stumbling with the force of his push, but her eyes were rapidly flicking between him and the door far behind him. “You’re a long way from winning, girl.”
    “How’s your leg?” She retorted, and he felt a growl rumble in his chest.
    Mateo smiled and charged her, catching her wrist harshly as she attempted to hit him with the cane again, and much like he had in the warehouse he lifted her and dropped her hard onto the padded floor. Tightening his grip on her wrist he felt the fine bones grinding together until her grip loosened and then he ripped the thin implement from her fingers and threw it towards the wall. It took him half a second to realize he’d landed between her thighs, but his cock was clearly ahead of him as he felt the heavy, straining weight tightening between his legs.
    Instead of fear he saw challenge in her eyes and it made him want to take her even harder. Reaching between them he caught the lace of her panties in his fingertips, but just as he was about to rip them from her she slammed her knee into his ribs. The stunning pain was combined with the sudden flip-flopping of the room as she threw him to the side with a clearly practiced move that ended with him on his back and her rolling backwards to pop up from the floor a few feet away. She grinned at him – and then turned to dash for the door. He had never moved so fast as he pushed up and ran after her, they were maybe six feet from the door when he caught her shirt and then fisted her hair to throw her to the floor behind them.
    This time she didn’t keep her balance, but she hit the floor and rolled over her shoulder to land upright in a crouch. Her chest was rising and falling rapidly as
