When class was over and most of the students had filed out, Hunter surprised Ryder and the rest of his friends by walking over and approaching Jake, who was on full guard. Jake had never forgotten the feel of Hunter’s body against his or their heated kisses, which had provided several awkward moments for him since their encounter at Cole Corporation. How close Hunter was standing next to him didn’t help, causing Jake’s heart rate to speed up against his will.

“Wh-what do you want?” Jake stuttered, cursing himself for his poorly chosen phrase.

“Nothing you can give me,” Hunter said in a low tone that made Jake shudder despite himself.

“Knock it off, you know what I meant,” Jake growled, not liking being pinned in place against his desk.

“I brought something back with me from Macau that might interest you,” Hunter said. “Consider it a peace offering of sorts.”

Curious despite his reservations, Jake prompted, “Meaning?”

“They are skilled in a way I believe you would—shall we say, appreciate,” Hunter explained, his smirk giving Jake his first clue.

“Are you implying what I think you are?” Jake asked, getting his hopes up that he’d be allowed to return to Cole Corporation after they had banned him for his attempted assault on Hunter.

“Tomorrow night. It’s on the house,” Hunter confirmed, surprising Ryder almost as much as Jake.

“Thanks?” Jake uncertainly replied.

Smiling in a way that brought back more uncomfortable reminders for Jake of the reason they had banned him in the first place, Hunter flippantly said, “Try not to get yourself banned again.”

As Hunter headed out of the room, Ryder started to follow, but Jake called out for him to stop. “Do you have any idea what he’s talking about?” Jake asked his friend.

“No more than you,” Ryder replied with a shrug before leaving, happy to see Hunter waiting for him outside. Seeing Hunter’s self-satisfied smugness, Ryder was suspicious that there was more behind his offer. “What are you planning?”

“I’m lifting the ban,” Hunter replied with an unconcerned shrug. “That should satisfy him.”

“Why do I feel like there’s more to it than that?” Ryder questioned.

Looking over his shoulder with a grin that made Ryder’s heart beat faster, Hunter answered, “Because you know me better.”

Grinning, they walked up the stairs together, although Ryder almost stumbled when Hunter added, “Besides, the mutt’s surprise is pretty enough to be a girl, so he shouldn’t have too many complaints.”

Ryder exclaimed, “Hunter! What exactly are you…?”

“You’ll see,” Hunter promised, before rephrasing his response. “Though you’ll be otherwise occupied.”

“Will I now?” Ryder asked, arching an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Hunter moaned in Ryder’s ear, “you will be fully occupied.”

Ryder laughed at the playfulness chasing away the lingering shadows in Hunter’s blue eyes. “You’re horrible!” Ryder protested, even though he couldn’t stop laughing.

“You say that now,” Hunter said, “but I’ll have you moaning otherwise later.”

“That sounds like a challenge,” Ryder commented, getting excited about whatever Hunter had planned.

“It’s a fact,” Hunter said with a look of superiority that had Ryder protesting as they entered their next class.
