We followed a short masked man who had two young women on his arms—one Medusa girl from RFA, Riley, and an older unfamiliar one. When he noticed us heading to the door with him, he smirked at Hunter. “Taking her to a private room already?” heasked.
Hunter chuckled. “You know it,” he said, squeezing my assagain.
“I can have my usual room for these two, right?” the man asked, brows creasing as he gestured to Riley and the othergirl.
“Of course,” Hunter replied smoothly. “You still have the key, don’tyou?”
The man smiled, nodded, and turned away, still believing that Hunter wasCharles.
We didn’t speak as we went down the spiral staircase and into the fake library, and I barely even breathed as we hurried through the house, heading for Hunter’s room. I was so nervous, so sure that someone would come after us and expose us in our lies and theatrics, even though we’d gotten away with everything sofar.
When we finally stepped into Hunter’s bedroom and locked the door behind us, a warm wave of relief crashed over me, and my shoulders sagged as the tension in my body drainedaway.
“I can’t believe it,” I said breathlessly as Hunter ripped the mask and latex skin off his face and neck. “We did it. We actually didit!”
He pulled the button cam off his suit and tossed it away with the mask. Then he grinned and wrapped his arms around me. “I knew we’d do it. Your plan was too fucking crazy tofail.”
“That doesn’t make sense,” I said, gigglingsoftly.
“Makes sense tome.”
Before I could say anything else, he pinned me against the door and crushed his lips on mine in a bruising kiss. His tongue dived into my mouth, tasting me as it entwined with mine. My body instantly lit with the same desire I feltearlier.
“Hunter,” I said through kisses, trying to get his attention. He responded by lifting my hands over my head, trapping them beneath one of his on the door as his hot mouth robbed me of my breaths andmoans.
I tried again as his free hand slid down my dress, rubbing over my center. “Hunter...”
He finally broke the kiss and pulled away, breathing heavily. “You want me tostop?”
I looked up at him through my lashes to see nothing but concern and devotion in his expression. “No. But there’s something I should’ve told you earlier,” I murmured, reaching up to stroke hisneck.
“What?”
“I love you too,” Iwhispered.
His eyes lit with a fiery intensity, and then he moved so quickly I barely had time to yelp with surprise as he grabbed me by the waist and lifted me in an effortless maneuver. “Good,” he growled against my ear. “Because there isn’t a single part of you that I’m not completely in love with, LaneyCollins.”
His hands moved beneath my thighs, supporting my weight as I instinctively wrapped my legs around his hips. Even though he was holding me, I felt like I was falling, but not in a scary way. It was exhilarating, like I was falling off a cliff into a warm, endlesscloud.
Lips crashed over mine again, and I sighed into Hunter’s mouth, eyes shuttering as he deepened thekiss.
A few weeks ago I would’ve point-blank refused to believe it if someone told me that I’d be here one day, kissing Hunter like this and telling him I loved him when he used to be my worst enemy, but now I knew that nothing could possibly feel moreright.
I was his, he was mine, and together, we’d managed to accomplish something we once thought wasimpossible.
Now we knew thetruth.
When it came to us,nothingwasimpossible.

Hunter
Laney let outa strained groan as she paced around my room. “This suspense is fuckingkillingme.”
I glanced up at her from my spot on the bed. “Hm?”
“I’m just so sick of waiting for the society to blow up,” she said, picking at a fingernail. “What if it never happens? What if they all get out ofit?”
