Heart of the Hunter

He unscrewed the cap and took a few swallows from the bottle and laughed to himself.

“This is so fucked up,” he muttered to himself.

“What?” I demanded of him. “What is so fucked up?”

He stared back at me through the hair that had fallen across his face and smiled.

“Language, sweetheart.”

“What? I can’t curse around here either? Well fuck you, Hunter. I’m sorry I fucked up your life!”

I swung my legs off the bed and started to stand up until I felt Hunter’s hand on my shoulder pushing me back down.

He sat down next to me and lifted my chin with his hand.

“You’re fucking sexy when you curse, baby. Especially with no clothes on. You’re getting me hard, sweetheart.” He dipped his head down and placed kisses from my collarbone up to my neck.

“Hunter, stop,” I murmured, not meaning it at all.

“No,” he whispered plainly before bringing his eyes around to meet mine. “Kelly, you did fuck up my life, but that’s not what I meant.”

I could feel myself breathing hard as I stared into his eyes.

“So what did you mean?” doing my best to sound angry.

“I meant this feeling I get around you. It’s fucked up and I can’t explain it. It’s something I’ve never had before. I’ve been trying to kick it since I met you, and I just don’t want to anymore. I know I can’t. Kelly, I, I.”

“Hunter, don’t,” I protested. I knew exactly what he was going to say and I was terrified of what it would mean. Mostly because I knew I felt the same way.

But he just looked deep into my eyes, and once again, did what he wanted, when he wanted, and pulled me further into him.

“Kelly, I love you. I didn’t fucking think that was possible for me, but it is. I love you so fucking much.”

I sat for a moment, completely stunned at what I had just heard. I collapsed into him with my lips, wrapping my arms around him, and said the words to a man for the first time in my life, actually meaning them.

“I love you, too.”





Chapter 47


Hunter


I LAY KELLY BACK ON the bed and kissed her deeply. I meant what I just told her. I didn’t fucking understand it and the words just slipped out of my mouth, but I meant it. It came as naturally to me as anything else in my life and, as I felt her naked body pressed against me, I knew that this girl was not just some girl. She was the girl.

The way she looked at me with her beautiful green eyes, the way she stayed put and wouldn’t leave when she had every fucking reason to run, how she was just as beautiful standing there as she was when I drove my cock into her and opened her up, she was my fucking girl and I needed to accept it. There was no more fighting it and she was as much a part of me as any darkness that ran through my veins. There was no more me or her, just us. Maybe that meant we were fucked, but it was the way it was always meant to go down.

“Hunter,” she moaned into me, “Hunter, fuck me again.”

My cock started to rise in my jeans and I moved my lips from hers down to her breasts and took one of her nipples in my mouth, tracing the outside in a circle with my tongue.

She breathed out, a slow, stuttered breath.

“Hunter, fuck me, baby. I’m wet for you.”

I reached down to my jeans, undid my belt, and grabbed my cock. I was about to squeeze it inside her again when a voice called from outside.

“Hunter, Hunter, can you come here for a second?”

What the fuck, Lucas? You’ve got to be fucking kidding me, pal.

I pushed myself up off the bed and looked toward the window.

“I’m going to kill that kid. How could he be done with that barn already?”

Kelly looked up at me and smiled, batting her eyelashes and sighing deeply.

“Just go and see what he wants. I’ll be waiting right here.”

She was gorgeous. There was no way I was leaving her to go deal with whatever the fuck her little brother wanted.

“Not a fucking chance, darling. Not with you lying here like this.” I put my mouth on her again and moved my hand between her thighs.

“Hunter, just go,” she whispered as she gently pushed my hand back. “I’ll be waiting right here. All of me will be right here.”

I’m going to kill that motherfucker.

“Fuck,” I declared as I stood up. “This is bullshit. You better take care of this fucking hard on when I get back up here.”

Kelly just laughed as she lay back on the bed.

“You want me to start without you?” she teased.

I looked down on her as she slid her hand over her breasts and stomach, reaching between her legs and licking her lips.

“Fuck you,” I laughed. “Fuck you and your brother. Are you two trying to kill me?”

I couldn’t be mad at them, at either of them. They were my family now, and I wasn’t going to create a family like the one I’d suffered in when I was young. No, if I was going to create a family here with this woman, it was going to be fucking happy.
