“We’ll see you tomorrow!” Mabel says.
She’s distracted by Jonah wrapping his arms around her waist and nuzzling her neck. Anise smiles, stealing glances at Whit, and I smile, waving goodbye as I head to the back to hang up my apron and grab my purse.
When I come back out, Hunter is gone, and a pit forms in my stomach. I miss him, and I know I need to figure out what I want to do about my feelings for him.
I wave goodbye to my friends one more time before I push out the front door. I’m digging in my purse for my keys, distracted by my thoughts, and maybe that’s why I don’t see him.
“Whoa!” I shriek as a pair of strong arms wrap around me and lift me off my feet.
“Easy,” Hunter orders as he starts to carry me down the sidewalk to his truck.
“Put me down!” I yell, and he chuckles.
“Not a chance, gorgeous,” he says as he opens the passenger door and deposits me in the seat like I weigh nothing at all.
“Now, we’re going to have a talk,” he tells me ominously, and I swallow as he slams the door shut.

Hunter
Grier is silent,her anger filling the cab of my truck, and I grip the steering wheel as I steer us down the dirt road to my cabin. I had to physically restrain her from jumping out a few times, and I’ve been keeping a close eye on her ever since she almost got away. She had the door open and her seatbelt off before I realized what she was doing. I almost drove us into a ditch, trying to drag her back into the cab.
We pull up in front of my cabin, and I give her a warning look.
“You run and I’ll catch you,” I tell her, and she rolls her eyes.
She crosses her arms over her chest as I climb out, and my heart starts to beat out of control as I near her side. I’m about to have my girl in my home for the first time. I can’t wait to see her amongst my things. I want her scent all over my place.
“Are you walking, or am I carrying you?” I ask her, and she glares at me.
“We can just have whatever talk you want in the truck while you drive me home,” she snaps, and I grin.
“Carry it is, then.”
“What? Wait!” She yells as I reach in, gripping the back of her thighs with one hand and wrapping my other arm around her back as I lift her up and carry her into the cabin.
She kicks and screams at me to put her down as I kick the passenger door shut and march up to the front door. I notice that she’s not fighting me that hard. That has to be a good sign, right? Hope starts to swell inside of me. Maybe she’s finally ready to admit that we’re meant to be together.
Please, God. Let her be ready.
I bypass the living room and head right into my bedroom, laying her down on the bed. This is where she belongs.
I come down over her, pinning her to the bed with my body. My cock hardens as she squirms beneath me, and I grit my teeth.
“Get off of me!” She spits at me, and I just grin.
I love her fight and her spirit. My woman is tough. She’s so strong, and I’ve been drawn to that from the start. I need a woman who challenges me and who makes me work for it, and Grier is definitely that.
“There’s not going to be any other men. Is that clear?” I ask her, and her lips flatten into a straight line as she glares up at me, heat and tension clear in her pretty blue eyes.
“You’ve already found your man, gorgeous, and he’s currently between your thighs.”
She gasps, and her hand comes out to slap me, but I catch it before she can make contact and pin her wrists to the bed before she can try again.
“You’re going to stop fighting this thing between us because you are driving me out of my mind. Is that clear, Grier?”
She still doesn’t answer me, staring up at me stubbornly, her mouth still in that flat line. I dip my head, bringing my lips closer to hers as I stare into her eyes.
