“I’ll make it nice. It’s not just talk.”
“That’s what makes it so amazing, Hunter. I know you get worried that you’re like your dad when you do things like this, and I don’t love that you sprung it on me while we were having a nice date, but you’renotyour dad.”
I close my eyes. She only knows half of it. I’m terrified that she’s going to run, just like my mom did. When will she put her foot down and say she’s had enough, and disappear. She’ll slip through my fingers.
She nearly did after our group-sex night. I knew it was a goodbye. I could feel it in her desperation. But she’s not desperate like that now. Not as she lavishes me with assurances and affection.
“And I’m not leaving … at least not right now. Who knows what’ll happen if I get bored and am fully rested or something,” She says softly.
“Tell me if you decide you’ve had enough of us,” I ask, my voice catching in my throat. “I don’t like surprises like that. I don’t think I’d be able to resist hunting you down,” I say.
“And you would.”
“Wewould. No expense spared.” I feel another shiver tease her body. I lift my head. “Does that scare you, Valerie?”
“I don’t know. I think you guys are making me … twisted,” She says softly. “Because it kind of scared me, but it turned me on too.”
“Equal footing.” I adjust her on my lap so she can feel how hard I am.
“Fuck, Hunter.” Her thighs tighten around me.
“Is that an order or a dare?” I tease.
She shakes her head. “This house arrest thing isn’t going to keep Stefan from wanting me.”
“It’ll keep him from finding you … for now. Which means you’re all mine for the taking.”
She laughs as I stand with her around my hips. “And I’m taking the master bedroom.”
“Sounds like it should be broken in thoroughly.”
“So, we should call the guys back to do it properly?” She fists my hair tightly. “Since you’re all soft and sweet for me tonight?”
“I’m saving all the savagery for the bedroom.”
“Good word. Earns you ten percent less sass.”
“Don’t you dare.” I kick the door open and drop her on the bed.
She strokes over her leggings, sticking one leg in the air, shoe and all before laying back. “Undeniably sexy, right? Good, it’s all yours to peel off me. Good luck.”
I chuckle. “It’s like you don’t think I have patience.”
“None.”
I jerk her shoe off without untying it. She points at me. “Told you.”
I growl and jerk her closer as I rip the other shoe off her. “How fond of these leggings are you? Because I can always tear a very convenient hole and please you now before I-”
“I don’t believe for a second you’d tolerate fucking me without being able to see every inch of my body.”
I consider that as I take off her socks. That’s a damn good point. She has excellent breasts and the way she reacts when I tease them or suck them is more than enough reason to get her nakednow.
But I climb onto the bed, holding her legs over my shoulders. “Not going to be all sassy, saying you don’t want me tonight?”
She grabs my shirt and pulls me towards her. “No. I’m feeling very demanding considering my current position.”
I pull my shirt off and press her knees all the way to her shoulders, watching her eyes widen and her lips part. I arch an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with this position, sweetheart?”
