Could he really want me?
Can I risk it to find out?
He flips off the stove and carries the plate over to the kitchen table. I straighten on the counter as he turns to me. I know before he reaches me that he’s going to lift me off the counter. What I’m not expecting is for him to carry me over to the table and settle me in his lap.
He picks up the fork, and it’s then I realize that there’s only one plate and one fork. He brings the first bite to my lips, and I glare at him. It feels safer to pretend to be annoyed than to swoon against him.
“I can eat and sit all by myself, you know,” I sass him, and he smiles.
I try to squirm out of his hold, but he just tightens his arm around me.
“Calm down, little one, and open up.”
“I can feed myself,” I snap.
“But you don’t have to feed yourself with me around. Now, sit down and relax. Let me take care of my woman.”
FIVE
Hunter
It’s finally happening.
Grier is in my bed, curled up next to me, and it’s heaven.
This is where she’s meant to be.
After we had dinner last night, I carried her over to the couch, and we cuddled and watched a movie. She had been tense against me at first, but it didn’t take long for her to relax and melt against my side.
I knew that she felt this thing between us. I don’t know why she’s been fighting it and me so much, but I’m going to find out and put a stop to it.
She had been half asleep when I carried her to bed. Maybe that’s why she didn’t fight me when I told her to sleep in one of my shirts. She’s wearing it now, and I’m trying not to focus on the way that it keeps slipping further and further up her thighs.
I’ve been dying to know if she’s completely bare beneath my shirt or if she kept her panties on. If she keeps shifting against me like that, I’m going to find out real soon.
She shifts against me again, and I study her face as her head lays pillowed on my bicep. She’s still sound asleep, and she looks so peaceful and relaxed. Normally, she reminds me of a scared kitten, one who needs to be coaxed out. She keeps swiping at me with her little claws, but I can see now that Grier is starting to trust me more.
Having her trust is the greatest feeling in the world, and I promise I’ll never do anything to jeopardize that. I’m going to show her how good things are between us and that I’m worthy of her love.
She shifts, starting to stir in my arms, and I smile as she blinks her pretty blue eyes open at me. She smiles back, and my heart swells in my chest.
Then her eyes widen and she blinks the sleep out of her eyes, and she pulls back from me in shock.
I guess that we’re back to fighting me…
“Is that the time?” She shouts, shooting up in bed. “I’m so late!”
Or maybe not.
She jumps out of bed, and I reach for her, pulling her back to me and rolling her under me.
“Don’t worry, gorgeous. I’ll get you to work on time.”
“How? I have to go back to my apartment first and change!”
“I’ll tell you, but you need to give me my kiss first.”
“What?” She sputters, my words catching her off guard.
