At the edge of her awareness she recognized the difference, but she was too caught up in the sensations to give it much thought.
Suddenly, Hunter went completely still. Luna whispered his name, wishing she could see him.
He reached up and grabbed her hands, interlacing them with his own before sliding his palms down her arms. Her arms dropped down and she ran her hands through his hair. Being able to touch him finally was the most incredible feeling.
When his head lowered and he took one of her nipples in his mouth, her body arched as she cried out.
Their bodies bucked frantically together like untamed animals.
He grabbed her ass and yanked her up as he continued to bury himself deep inside of her. Her hands roamed over his body, digging her nails into the rippling muscles. Thank God he didn’t tell her to stop touching him, because it would have been too much to bear. She needed to feel all of him. With an upward tilt of her hips, every thrust brought her closer to another earth shattering orgasm. It wasn’t long before her muscles clutched around him and her world exploded.
Hunter groaned as she peaked again.
Had she ever known such exquisite pleasure? If she had, she couldn’t recall. It was as if the moment she fused with him, everyone from her past was forgotten. She felt so energized and alive in his arms.
Within seconds, his powerful body shuddered in pleasure. He laid on top of her, shaking slightly, both of them glistening with sweat.
Hunter slid off her and she groaned. She heard him toss the condom in the wastebasket before he reached around and untied the blindfold.
She laid there, trying to catch her breath while meeting his gaze. Something about him made her feel vulnerable. When he looked into her eyes, she felt as if he could see into the depth of her soul. The parts she hid from the rest of the world.
His idle fingers lazily slid through her hair at the base of her neck. She didn’t want to move. She knew she should jump up and breeze out, like she always did, but instead she found herself wishing she could lie in bed with him forever.
Hunter lifted his head, propped himself up on his elbow. “That was … mind blowing.”
“Toe curling,” Luna agreed, wiping the sweat off her brow. She leaned in provocatively. “We’re going to have to do that again. This time I get to watch every expression and get the pleasure of seeing exactly what you’re doing to me.”
“I think that can be arranged.” Hunter rolled her on top of him, and fingers roamed over his chest.
With deliberate slowness, she leaned forward to kiss him, rubbing her breasts against him. “You like that?” she whispered.
“What do you think?” he said gruffly as his erection grew, pressing hard against her skin.
Reaching over, he grabbed a condom off the end table and handed it to her.
She had a feeling it was going to be a long night.
***
Around one a.m. Hunter got out of bed, moved to the window, and looked out. Luna rolled to her side and propped her head in her hand, watching him. He stood there naked, confident, and sexy as hell. As he should be. The moonlight streamed through the window, casting a silver glow on the sharp planes of his muscular body, he was a sight to behold. Her body ached with an irrational need to have him close to her. She noticed faint silver scars across his back. How had he gotten those? The memory of his reaction to the scar on his stomach stopped her from asking.
Hunter wasn’t prepared to share anything with her other than his body. Understandable, since she wasn’t exactly the type to bare her soul either.
She was startled by the realization that she would like to know what secrets he kept hidden underneath his hard exterior. Usually, she couldn’t care less about the men she got involved with. However, she was intrigued to know what made him tick. What experiences in his past made him who he was today?
On that note, Luna kicked the sheets off her and swung her feet over the bed. “I guess it’s time for me to get home.”
“Stay the night with me,” he said, without turning.
Thankfully, she still had a sane corner in her mind. She shook her head. “I can’t, I have to work in the morning.”
He turned around slowly. “Call in sick.”
Luna laughed. Why did he have to be so freakin’ gorgeous? It was hard to say no, but she had to remain strong. “I don’t have that luxury.”
He nodded and moved toward her. Reaching down, he drew her up, towering over her. “All right, but I want to see you tomorrow.”
They stared at each other for so long she was beginning to feel uncomfortable. The air between them seemed to thicken, making it hard to breathe. She knew things were moving too fast, but couldn’t seem to find the words to protest.
His fingers closed around the back of her neck and his thumb stroked the smooth, soft skin over her collarbone. The tips of her naked breasts grazed his firm chest. He watched his hand dip lower, gliding over her curves.
“You’re making it hard to leave.”
“Tell me you’ll see me tomorrow.” A muscle in his cheek twitched before he cupped her face and gave her a brief, but thorough kiss.
She swallowed visibly, licking her lips, which tasted like him. Nodding once, she dropped her head onto his chest, moving into the embrace. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Maybe she was reading too much into it; imagining he sounded almost desperate to see her again.
Why couldn’t she shut off that cynical voice in her head and just enjoy the moment?
She could always walk away later. Before she got in too deep.
Slowly, he brushed his fingers across her cheek before he leaned down and kissed her slow, lingering. She knew it was already too late for that.
Chapter Nine
Luna woke with a start. It took her a moment to gain her bearings. Carefully, she pried her eyes open. She was at home in her own bed, alone. The night before came rushing back to her. Hunter, she thought, with a ghost of a smile. Rolling over, she hugged her pillow.
One night with a virtual stranger and her life had spun out of control.
She laid there for a while, replaying the evening over in her head. She kept remembering how beautiful his hard, naked body was. The sex was just as intense as he was—off the charts.
Without a doubt the absolute best sex of her life.
Unconsciously, she touched her fingers to her lips.
Her body still ached to feel his hands, lips, and body on hers. Hell, it ached from what he’d done to her body last night; their marathon sex.
Rolling over, she grabbed her phone. She had several texts from Grayson and Marcus, but the one that made her heart leap was from Hunter. Woke up wishing your mouth was on my cock.
Laughing, her hands flew across the screen. Funny, I was just thinking the same thing.
A couple of seconds later her phone dinged. Were you now?
Uh. Huh. In case it wasn’t obvious, I had fun last night.
Oh. It was obvious. Send me a picture. I want to see what I missed waking up with you.
Luna groaned. Her hair was a mess and she had no makeup on. Still, she lifted her phone and snapped a pic. She slept in the nude, and she made sure that was obvious by angling the camera so he could see the top of her breasts. But no further. She wasn’t stupid, she knew how guys liked to pass around pictures. It wasn’t only her reputation she had to worry about, but also her sister’s, since they were identical, so she never fell for the naked images or movies. She hit send and waited for his reply.
Damn. What time did you say you had to be at work?
Luna looked at the clock; she only had an hour and it took her thirty minutes to get there.
Not enough time. You’re just going to have to wait.
I’m not good at waiting. Turn on face time.
Sorry. I don’t do the digital peepshow.
I’m happy to hear that. Now turn on your face time.
Luna threw her head back on the pillow and clicked on the app, pres
sing the button to connect. Within seconds she was looking at Hunter’s striking face. Her stomach dipped. He was sitting shirtless in the swivel chair in front of the desk in his bedroom.
“Hey,” his voice crossed the line.
“Hey yourself.”
“You’re sexy as hell with your just been fucked hair.”
Luna bit the bottom of her lip and smiled. “Aren’t you supposed to be at work?”
“I’m the new guy, remember? Still jumping through hoops with the paperwork.”
“Lucky you.”
“Are you sure you don’t have enough time to stop by before you go to work?”
“I really don’t. And I’ve been late too many times this week.”
His grin formed slowly. “Tsk, tsk. Then I guess we’ll have to take care of my problem by proxy.”
Luna rolled her eyes. “I didn’t think you had a sense of humor.”
“There’s a lot you don’t know about me. Now spread your legs and let me see. And don’t worry, there will be no recording going on. You need to trust me.”
“I don’t trust anyone.”
His brow drew together. “We’ll have to work on that. Are those silky thighs of yours spread?”
Luna sighed. “It’s like they have a mind of their own.”
“Dip the phone down so I can see.”
“Hunter …”
“Luna, let’s not waste time with silly games. Tilt the camera so I can see you’re sweet pussy. It’s not even possible to record face time over the phone. I’d tell you to google it, but I don’t want to waste even a second.”
Obviously, she’d lost her mind, because it was virtually impossible to tell this man no. Luna did a quick tilt of the phone and then back to her face.
Hunter inhaled sharply. “This is going to be harder than I thought.”
“Do you have phone sex with all the girls?”
“There’s a first for everything. And you’re the one that’s refusing to visit. I’d much rather be sliding into you than stroking with my hand.”
Luna grinned into the camera. “Now it’s your turn to show.”
Hunter smirked. “I guess fair is fair. If I want you to trust me it’s gotta be a two way street.”
He was wearing blue plaid pajama pants, his need for her was very apparent.
Next thing she knew, she was looking at Hunter’s hand wrapped around his thick cock. Instantly, she was wet.
“That’s pretty hot,” she had to admit.
“Lay back on the bed. Dip your fingers into that tight pussy of yours.”
Luna leaned back and did as she was told. It was awkward to hold the phone at the same time.
“Let me see,” Hunter said roughly, his breathing increasing.
Luna angled the phone so he could see her fingers dip in and out. Clearly she’d lost all rational thought when it came to this man.
“Very nice. Now I want you to rub the palm of your hand in a circle motion like I did last night and make yourself come for me.”
Luna’s breathing increased. She tried to hold the phone but it wasn’t working, so she took one of the pillows and propped it up giving him a view as she applied more pressure and her hips lifted. She could hear Hunter’s breathing and the slap of his hand. Before she knew it, the pressure was spiraling through her. Within minutes her body was convulsing in pleasure. Holy hell. She gasped.
She grabbed the phone and brought it back to her flushed face. “Jesus, that was hot.”
Hunter’s eyes were closed and his head rolled back as he came.
“You’re going to be the death of me,” he murmured.
Luna licked her lips. She didn’t want to tell him the feeling was mutual. “Thanks for the wakeup. I gotta jump in the shower.”
“You’re evil.” He laughed.
He had a great laugh she realized. Hopefully she would get to hear it more often.
“What time am I picking you up?”
“I get done at six.”
“See you then. We’re going to the movies.” Hunter clicked off.
Luna stared up at the ceiling with a goofy grin on her face.
Her stomach grumbled, finally forcing her out of bed. Her steps were light as she made her way to the kitchen. As she crossed into the room, she caught her reflection in one of the mirrors. Her face was flushed and her blue eyes bright. For the first time since who knows when, there was an honest to God spring in her step. She couldn’t recall ever being this happy before her morning coffee.
She didn’t have a lot of time, so she pulled down a box of cereal and flicked on the coffee pot.
By the time she got out of the shower the coffee would be ready. And if she was late, so be it.
Luna scarfed down the cereal and jumped in the shower. As she scrubbed her body, she was acutely aware of the soreness from last night.
Hunter was turning into a very interesting man indeed.
Chapter Ten
A flash of dark hair caught her eye, causing her to look up. Involuntarily her heart missed a beat or two. Hunter must have decided to surprise her at work. When the guy turned around, her shoulders slumped; definitely not Hunter. What the hell was happening to her?
Every time she saw a tall guy with dark hair, a red truck, or her phone went off her body reacted. She needed to get her shit together. He’d only been in her life for a short period of time and she was acting like a crazed lunatic. She looked down at her phone to see if she'd missed any messages. Nope.
To keep her mind occupied, she sent Marcus a quick text to see what he was up to. Since she’d started hanging out with Hunter she hadn’t seen him in a few days. And it was completely her fault for brushing him off.
They chatted for a few moments about nothing in particular.
Luna smiled and slipped her phone back in her pocket. The mall was busy and she couldn't wait for her shift to be over. A couple of hours later, Luna looked up when a shadow fell across the register. A huge grin lit up her face. “Hey you.”
“Hey yourself. How much longer do you have?”
Luna looked at her watch. “Only a half hour.”
“I’ll go grab our tickets and come back and get you.”
About twenty minutes later, she saw him walking into the store. It took everything she had not to launch herself into Hunter’s arms. Her heart rate went in overdrive the closer he got. She loved the way his eyes were only on her, as if there was no one else in the crowded store. He stared at her like she was the most beautiful creature in the world. It made her toes tingle.
Luna grabbed her purse and told the other girl she was clocking out a few minutes early.
“How was your day?” he asked, sliding his arm possessively around her waist as they walked down the corridor. Had it been anyone else she would have squirmed free. Instead, she found herself wrapping her arm around him in return. It shocked her that she wanted people to know she was with him—wanted to mark him as her own. He smiled as he leaned down and kissed her briefly, as if he knew the significance of the gesture.
“Long, boring, the usual. And yours?”
“Not bad. Spent some time with my new team. Went to the range and threw some lead around, and now I’m walking with the sexiest girl in this joint. So all in all, a pretty damn good day.”
***
By the time they left the movie theater, Luna was ready to explode if she didn’t get naked in the next few moments. It took an enormous amount of self-control to sit beside Hunter for the last two hours and not touch him. She needed their bodies to be merged as one. Listen to her. Could she get any more pathetic? Whatever. All she knew was she needed him and soon.
“Where to now?” he asked quietly as they fastened their seat belts.
“I want to take you somewhere.”
He raised an eyebrow.
“Drive as fast as you can without getting a ticket, because I don’t have the patience for the delay that would require.”
Hunter flashed her a darkly sensual grin as
he pressed on the gas and took off out of the parking lot.
“Take a left.”
Hunter flicked his blinker and made a left turn. Luna spouted out directions. In order to keep herself from staring at his rugged profile, she turned her head and stared out the window at the scenery. A blur of colors.
She felt herself relax when she saw the road she’d been aiming for. “At the end of this road there’s a park. You just have to veer right.”
The road was long and darkened by the towering trees that lined the street.
Hunter looked over at her, but didn’t say anything. She wondered what he was thinking.
He turned into the park and Luna pointed her finger ahead of her. “Drive around that building, there’s a side road.”
Without a word, he eased the truck forward. The road was so narrow the leaves brushed the windows. He parked under the dark shady trees. When he turned off the truck, they were completely shrouded in darkness.
As soon as he braked, she unlatched the seatbelt. With a smile, Luna kicked off her shoes and climbed into the backseat. Hunter jumped out of the truck, opened the back door, and eased himself in beside her. He pulled her into the hardness of his arms and murmured in her ear. Luna slid onto his lap, pulled up her dress, glad she’d worn a loose dress for once, and shifted her legs so she straddled him. Thankfully, she had the foresight to leave her panties at home. His hand lingered on her hip, and when he realized she wasn’t wearing anything underneath, he practically growled. “You’re fucking perfect.”
It was as if she became mindless as soon as his hands touched her body. Slightly unnerving, but the pleasure was too much to resist.
Luna’s hand slid beneath the collar of his shirt, and she closed her eyes as his lips brushed her mouth. Kissing her softly at first, as his tongue teased hers, but quickly deepening the kiss.
