Chapter 17

Hunter and Chey had talked for hours while cooped up in the villa. They’d covered a lot of ground, yet so much about her remained a mystery. He knew plenty about her early years in her small town in Virginia, her fond childhood memories and her appreciation for simple things like great movie classics and fun games. However, what intrigued him most were things she hadn’t said—the subjects that had been broached but left uncharted.

Today he realized that it was much more than unfulfilled curiosities that drew him in, keeping thoughts of her at the forefront of his mind. Hunter liked her raw beauty, her presence, her smile, the way she dipped her shoulders and threw her head back when she laughed—those, among other more explicit things. Hunter simply liked Chey.

Now he also understood why she’d been so cold when he was leaving and in her email. She was concerned about him respecting her after their delectable heated encounter. She was simply being defensive. If only she knew the Barrington brothers were experienced—to put it nicely. They knew the difference between women with standards and those who indulged in one-night stands with the same casual flair as they chose a pair of shoes to go with a certain outfit.

He’d received his student roster days ago but hadn’t paid enough attention to it to notice her name. When Chey practically ran out of his classroom after Kenya showed up, he’d calmly resisted the urge to run after her. He hadn’t missed the way Kenya planted herself between the two of them and then touched him as if that were their norm. He’d remained stoic because there was too much on the line. Unlike his brothers, he wasn’t up for being “the talk.”

Dinner with Kenya had seemed like a fine idea until the woman who plagued his dreams reappeared in his life. Now as he sat across the table from Kenya as she boasted of her credentials, he couldn’t keep his mind from wandering back to the moment he’d recognized Chey sitting in his class. Time had stopped. No one else was in the room but Chey and Hunter. His mouth had watered and his jewel had stiffened at the sight of her and the memory of her sweet taste. Hunter couldn’t recall being this affected by another woman. Not even the woman he’d dated throughout law school and briefly thought about marrying.

Politely, Hunter continued to listen to Kenya drone on about her upcoming sabbatical and spending the summer traipsing through Southeast Asia. By any standard, Kenya was an intelligent and experienced woman who would be quite the catch for any man. Right now Chey held his mind hostage. He wondered what she was doing now. Who was she with? Where exactly did she live?

“Hunter!”

“Yeah.” Hunter furrowed his brows, pretending to listen intently.

“Did you hear anything I just said?” Kenya was clearly on the verge of becoming annoyed. “You seem rather preoccupied.”

“I’m sorry. I have a lot on my mind.
