Hunter climbs on the bed beside me, placing a hand on the mattress on either side of my head, and lowers his face to mine, “What were my instructions again, baby? Kiss you like I mean it?”
“Yes,” I breathe. His scent surrounds me, citrus and woodsy, so manly, and it does things to me.
He inches closer to my lips, “My fucking pleasure, beautiful girl.”
When his lips meet mine, I tremble with need. I thread my fingers into his hair while he slides his tongue against mine in a slow passionate kiss. He pulls back momentarily and breathes, “Sassy.” Then he slams his lips into mine again and continues his kiss, but this time it’s needy and desperate. I moan into his mouth, needing more of him. When he breaks the kiss, he moves to my neck and places soft kisses up and down my throat, “Fucking beautiful, Sassy. You are so goddamn beautiful.”
“Hunter,” I moan, “I need you.”
He snaps his head up and stares at me like I’m insane, “There is no way I’m fucking you tonight.”
Rising off the bed, he says, “I’ll be back in a few minutes. I’m starting a bath for you.”
I groan, and he laughs over his shoulder, “See. High maintenance.”
“If I had something, I would throw it at you,” I yell after him.
His only response is louder laughter.
I get off the bed and remove my clothing they put me in. A tiny skirt and shirt. But I’m wearing Trevor’s shirt over mine. He didn’t like how naked I was. No panties because ‘whores don’t get panties’.
When I walk into the bathroom, Hunter loses his mind.
“What the fuck are you doing?”
He rushes over and lifts me in his arms, “You are not to walk anywhere by yourself.”
I sigh audibly, so he knows he’s annoying me, “Hunter, I have not lost the ability to walk.”
Shaking his head, he sets me down into the tub, and says, “Can you let me take care of you? Maybe you don’t need me to, but I do.”
Instantly, my heart aches for him, knowing what he went through. He thought I was dead. I know all too well the type of pain that comes with that. I scoot to the front of the tub, “If you get in here with me, I will let you take care of me. Right now, this is what I need.”
He arches his brow, “My dick is not going inside you.”
I laugh, “Fine.”
When he grabs the hem of his shirt and pulls it off, my eyes are locked on him, gazing up and down his body, taking in the fine specimen in front of me.
Hunter growls, “God damn it, Sassy.”
I bat my eyelashes, “What sir?”
He glares at me as he takes his pants and boxers off, his hard cock springs free, I can’t help myself, I lick my lips.
Climbing into the tub behind me, he pulls my back against his stomach, “Why are you being like this?”
I giggle, “A brat? Babe, I’ve always been a brat.”
Hunter holds me in his arms and runs his fingers down my arm, “Why aren’t you acting traumatized? Baby, don’t hide from me. I know it must’ve been hell.”
I lift his hand and kiss it, then answer honestly, “Hunter, obviously it wasn’t fun. It was scary. I was worried about the baby when I found out I was pregnant. I was worried about you. But I knew you’d save me. I never had a doubt that you would. It was a matter of when, not if. To be honest, the last three years before you found me in Trig’s basement were far worse than what these assholes did to me. Did they hurt me? Yes. It wasn’t anything I couldn’t handle. When I tell you I’m okay, please believe me. I am. I’m with you. We are having a child. I’m over the moon.”
He is quiet for several minutes, just stroking my skin, and making me feel loved. They could’ve killed me, and I would’ve died a happy woman. Being loved by Hunter in my teenage years was wonderful. Being loved by Hunter now, is a different experience. He’s not the sweet boy I fell for all those years ago. He’s changed a lot. Somehow, going through what we went through made me fall harder. I think it has made us not take things for granted. I take comfort in the fact that if anyone tries to hurt me or our child, Hunter will take care of it.
“I used to think Mia was the strongest woman I ever met but I think I was wrong. It’s you, Sassy. You’re the strongest woman I’ve ever met. The fact that you could go through all this shit and be okay is proof of that. I’m in fucking awe of you. I only hope if we have a daughter that she’s half as strong as you are. You’re going to be a phenomenal mother.”
I turn to my side so I can wrap my arms around his waist and put my head on his chest, “Thank you, Hunter. Thank you.”
