Poacher

In a world where males need to drain their other halves of their energy to survive, the females are controlled, oppressed, and exploited.

But Teddy Winston isn't going down without a fight.

In her incredible journey to freedom, she finds friendship with the lovable but rough around the edges security guards, safety in a place she least expected, and love where she was absolutely sure it didn't exist.

"Fuuuck. How are you here right now? You've got to be fucking kidding me." I moaned when I saw no one but the fucking Prince standing in front of me. With his personal guard of course.

"Let's go." He nodded his head towards the big SUV we had taken to dinner earlier. The other man present grabbed my backpack and then called the guard who was stationed in front of my door.

I debated making a run for it.

Would he physically stop me? If I were to just bolt away, would he chase me? His security was distracted...

I did it.

I started running.

I heard him mutter something about me as I ran, but I couldn't hear if he was pursuing me or not. Our footsteps made no noise in the soft grass. It was only seconds before I was tackled down and pinned beneath him. I landed with an "oomph" and my back hit the ground painfully.

I was panting heavily and waiting for the weight of his body to be removed from me. He did take the pressure off of me, but didn't get up. He distributed his weight to his knees, which straddled me on either side of my waist.

"Listen to me, Teddy. I've had enough of this. I want to be nice to you and I want to be your friend, but you're making it difficult. We're leaving right now."
