Chapter Eleven

Baby

Hunter wasn’t there one minute, and then in the next he was. I clutched my bag as the subtle rush of ozone blew over me, full of the smells he brought with him—asphalt, as if he’d run so fast there was tar on his boots, pine trees, snow, a hint of smoke from his fireplace. Hunter stood in the center of the room and spun towards me, then opened his arms, enveloping me as my body took over and I ran towards him. When I leaned back to look up at his face, we were already standing in his cabin.

“Hi,” I said, staring up at him. I couldn’t believe how handsome he was; I hadn’t forgotten, but it was one thing to wake up sweaty from a very nice dream and another thing altogether to look into those eyes.

“Hi,” he rumbled, his hands tightening around my waist for a second, and then he took a breath and stepped away from me, a shy smile on that lovely face. “Missed you, sugar.”

I wanted to be that girl again, suddenly—I wanted to be the girl that lowered her lashes and pushed out her lip, pressing her breasts against that hard stomach as she said ‘prove it.’ But I just bit my lip and smiled back at him before I looked around for a place to put my bag. He reached down to take it and for a second his cheek was right by my mouth—the scent of him, freshly shaven, the crisp scent of soap and his own smell, under it, washed over me… But then his long fingers wrapped through the handle and it was gone, and so was he, carrying it quietly back to the bedroom.

“I don’t understand how little noise you make,” I called, glad my voice sounded light-hearted, at least. Not like last time. And I wasn’t scared when we were near each other either; in fact, I felt a little… Eager. The realization made me flush with excitement—not that I was necessarily ready to do anything about it, but life without the constant shadow of fear… Now that was something. “You’re as big as a house! Why are you so damn quiet?”

“I don’t know,” he said, returning with a mischievous look on his face. He arched an eyebrow at me as he walked into the little kitchen and checked something in the oven. “Why are you so loud?”

“I’m enthusiastic,” I said, crossing my arms as I plopped down on one of the chairs next to his kitchen table. “I’m not loud.”

“Mmm,” he said, tacit disagreement in his tone. I smirked, glad to be back to bantering with him. I had really missed him, terribly—not just for the comfort he gave me and the way he let me be myself; of course I missed all that. But I also just missed him. His quiet humor, his steadfast intensity, his intuition. Hunter. “You hungry?”

“For your cooking? Definitely.” Anna had given me more special treats than I could count
