I’d come so hard I’d nearly cried. It had hurt, but it had been utterly delicious at the same time.

I fidgeted in my seat just thinking about it.

In the end, I’d finally agreed to stay with him for a little while, and I wasn’t too sure that it wasn’t a dream. Honestly, he’d been so sweet with my kitties that my heart had melted a little bit.

He was a good man.

Maybe staying with him was a good thing.

Maybe that meant we were more than a little something.

But… I shouldn’t get my hopes up yet. It wasn’t like we could take our relationship public, if that was what this even was, especially not with the clusterfuck that was Hunter’s uncle.

There still was no news of him being found. For all we knew, he’d escaped and fled the country. There were no signs or evidence that indicated his whereabouts, but it was difficult to navigate the overwhelming news coverage that surrounded Hunter and his company.

We’d been working tirelessly to change the narrative. Despite all of our efforts, including an incredible tech conference and several photo opportunities of his charitable efforts, his company stock prices had fallen a little bit, but as time went on, they’d appeared to slowly be recovering. Now, they were almost back to normal.

It honestly put me more at ease.

I gazed at him with a happy sigh, trying to bring my distracted mind back to the present.

This was a special moment.

Hunter had reserved a corner table on the rooftop patio of one of the most popular restaurants in Seattle—Montgomery Steakhouse. It was so romantic. Twinkling lights and lush flowers decorated the railings, and flickering candles dotted the tables. Couples talked in hushed tones all around us, but it felt private all the same.

I couldn’t have asked for anything more.

“What are you thinking about, naughty girl?” Hunter asked, glancing at me from across the table.

I blushed, dared a single peek at him and then looking back down towards the table. He laughed, the dark sound making my insides quiver. I squirmed, more than a little embarrassed. Without a word, he stood up, came around the table, and lifted me up from my chair by the back of my neck.

I gave a little gasp, but then he grabbed my hair in his fist and kissed me hard. His tongue tangled with mine, possessing me, and when he pulled back, he leveled me with a knowing look.

“How am I supposed to enjoy dinner with you when you’re looking at me like you need my cock right here at the table,” he murmured.

“I don’t know,” I sighed, kissing him deeply one more time.

“Behave, my needy little slut, before I decide to take you back to my car and take care of you as I see fit,” he threatened, and I smirked in his direction.

“Don’t threaten me with a good time,” I murmured, which earned me a delightfully heated look from him before he placed me back down in my chair and went back to his seat.

“You’re lucky you’re not sitting on a bright red bottom right now, naughty girl,” he grinned, but his threat wasn’t serious. Instead, he gazed at me with a warm expression. “You’ve done so well managing my PR campaign. I don’t know what I would have done without you. The way you’ve managed to swing the story towards my charitable contributions and innovative technologies has been incredible.”

I beamed at him. “You deserve it. You’re a great boss.”

Hunter smiled and reached out, taking my hand and rubbing his thumb across my knuckles. I sighed happily, the heat boiling in the pit of my core.

“That’s not all I want to be to you, my beautiful girl.”

“What do you mean?” I asked.

“You’re a beautiful person, inside and out, and I don’t want to ever let you go.”

“What are you saying?” I gasped, shocked, scared, and more than a little excited by the words coming out of his mouth.

“I want you to move in with me, sweetheart. Officially. We’ve already discussed how your apartment isn’t safe for you while you were over my knee getting your bottom spanked bright red, haven’t we?” he asked pointedly, and my blush deepened further.

“Yes, sir,” I gasped, biting my lip anxiously as images of that exact scene flashed through my mind once again.
