Chapter Nine

Bella

Pulling the duvet up over my head to try and stop the ringing in my ears, I wake up feeling like absolute shit.

“Addy?” I murmur, jumping up as I begin to piece the night together. That kiss, the double bed… his hands on me. My dizziness strikes again as I sit up too quickly.

“Guess again,” Hunter says in a tone so clipped and sharp it slices through the air like a knife through hot butter. As my eyes come into focus, I see his face is pure thunder, his arms folded flat against his chest with his huge biceps bulging.

“Hunter? What did I…?”

“What do you think?” he snaps back at me. “You called me, Princess.” He spits the word out with his usual venom, but I don’t care, as long as he fills in the blanks for me because I have barely any recollection of how I wound up here.

Watching his eyes dart to my chest, I frantically grab the duvet and pull it up to my chin, realizing my black and pink lace plunge bra and embarrassingly small boobs had just been on full display.

“And you came to pick me up? When? At what time?”

“Four-fifteen.”

“I’m sorry, Hunter. What happened? I can’t remember anything. Oh shit, did we…?”

“Do yourself a favor, I don’t fuck corpses.” He looks seriously offended by my suggestion.

“Sorry,” I mumble again feebly, feeling fragile and in desperate need of a drink.

“Did you sleep with him, Bella? Is that why you called because you’d gone too far and given him your V-card?”

“No… I don’t think so. I don’t know,” I admit, my eyes full of tears.

“I’ll kill him, Bella, you know I fucking will. You shouldn’t have dragged me into this.” Despite being obviously mad at me, he pours me a glass of water, and I take a sip. Flashes of last night begin to find their way back to me.

Cocktails… kissing… Addy had been so gentle with me, his kisses so tender and he’d taken me inside when I’d started feeling weird. I recall a bedroom I’d woken up in, and Addy was sleeping next to me. Naked.

Oh, crap! I’d been naked.

Hunter was right. I’d panicked and tried to call Harlow. After wiggling back into my dress and tiptoeing out of the room where Addy lay sleeping, I’d crept downstairs and looked for her, but she was nowhere to be found in the sea of paralytic bodies all passed out from alcohol and who knows what else. Her phone was off, so I’d scrolled my contact list for anyone else I could call.

Outside of my community, there was no one. My brothers would completely freak out if they found out I was drunk at a party, especially Addy’s party, as I am promised to Hunter and everyone knows it. I don’t have the numbers of any of my other classmates. Travellers don’t mix well with non-travellers, and I’m not exactly a people person, so Harlow had been my only option.

Unless Hunter.

He was there in the ‘H’s’ section of my contacts.
