nipples. I moan as he touches me. It feels amazing and having his eyes on me as he does it is exhilarating.
“I have wanted to touch you since the night I let you go.” His hands tug harder as he rolls my nipples simultaneously. I arch into him, begging him for more. When he freezes I look at him. “Your eyes stay on us or I stop. You are beautiful and I want you to see that. I want you to see what I want to do to you every minute of every day.” I nod in acknowledgement. I groan when he releases my breasts and lowers himself to the floor. His hands grab the waistband of my shorts; he pulls the shorts and my panties down at the same time. As his fingers slowly move down my leg, I break out in goosebumps.
He rises and stands behind me once more. “Look at yourself, Samantha. You might see flaws, but I don’t. You are gorgeous. There isn’t a part of you that doesn’t drive me crazy. You are perfect the way you are and having a slice of pizza or eating regularly isn’t going to destroy you. I can’t stand that you made yourself sick, and it kills me that I didn’t say something to you when I wanted to.” His hands wrap around me, settling on my chest. He positions his mouth next to my ear and his hot breath shoots warmth through my entire body. “It isn’t just your body, though. I’ve seen the way you stare off into space when you think no one is watching. You might think you hide yourself well, and you do, but I see it. I can see how much your mother hurts you. I can’t tell you how much what she says to you isn’t true. You deserve everything you have, and you have earned it, not her. Don’t let her take that away from you.”
He walks around me and takes my face in his hands. His eyes never leave mine. “No one should be treated the way she treats you and I just want you to understand that I know I’m an asshole sometimes, but I’m here. You might think you have no one to lean on, but you do. I saw you today with the girls. I saw that brick wall of yours start to crumble. Let people in, you might be surprised at what happens.”
His hands snake around me, resting on my ass. “I wouldn’t blame you if you told me to go fuck myself but I want you. Not just tonight. Not just for sex. I want you.”
I’m speechless. Everything he just said to me is what I have yearned to hear. I just wanted to know I was good enough for someone. Everyone always wants more from me. Hearing him say that I don’t need to change is like a dream. Can I do this? Can I make this leap with Hunter?
“Yes.”
A smirk graces his face as he pulls me tight against him. “I can’t wait to sink myself deep into you again. Tonight is about you, though. I plan to exhaust your body until the thought of another orgasm seems impossible. I will have you in every way imaginable and I won’t stop until your voice is gone from screaming my name.”
I gasp as Hunter backs me towards the bed.
This is a fresh start for us.
A new journey.
Chapter Twelve
Samantha
I open my eyes, deliciously sore from the night before. As I stretch, it’s almost as if I can still feel his hands on me. I look beside me to see Hunter still asleep. I’m still shocked by everything he said to me yesterday. After the way he had been acting, I never expected those words to come from him. I stand up needing to go to the bathroom and start getting ready for today’s events.
I open the door to the bedroom, wincing as I step on something. “Dammit!” I look down to see what I had tread on and I lose my breath. “Hunter!” At my feet is a black rose, next to it a white notecard with the word Soon. written on it.
“What the fuck?” I bend down but he grabs my arm. “Don’t touch it, there might be fingerprints. Get dressed.” He steps over the flower and I can hear him on the phone.
Someone was here. Someone was here and neither of us had any idea. We slept through an intruder. He could have
