A groan escapes from the back of my throat. Why does being in Hunter’s arms feel like I’ve come home?

It’s as though the world is safe again and no evil can consume me with this large security blanket wrapped snugly around my body.

My safe haven.

In his embrace, he still can’t protect me from myself. My brain wants me to run away from humiliation, yet my heart whispers it’s safe here…stay.

Why is it always a war between what I know is right versus what I feel is right?

But...this isn’t some fairy tale that has us frolicking away into the magical woods to our happily ever after.

Everything in me tenses. This is the real, hard, messed up life where there’s a monster from Hell trying to fill this land with death and darkness.

Hunter’s arms loosen and drop to my waist when I sit up. My soul cries out in protest but I ignore it and square off my shoulders. It takes everything in me to raise my chin and force myself to look at him.

His strong jawline under his short, dark beard has me wanting to reach up to caress the prickly scruff while rubbing my thumb over his soft lips. When my gaze reaches his eyes, I gasp. His milk-chocolate irises are dark and deep, with intensity burning behind them.

My chest heaves as I try to take in the air that has left my lungs. I clear my throat, saying the only thing I can think of to avoid plummeting into the depths of...Hunter. “Now, that’s off my chest, I think it’s time we head to bed. We need to get up early and discuss our plans for tomorrow.”

A low growl rumbles from his chest. “I think that’s a great idea.”

Does he mean...a spark of hope flares in my chest, but then I shake myself and swallow down the hurt. He’s just as ready to end this night and escape the awkwardness as I am.

His lack of response is answer enough that things are one-sided, despite what my fatigued brain thinks I’m reading in his eyes.

This is what I wanted, right? With the feelings not being mutual, I can end this fantasy now and prevent further heartbreak.

Oh crap.

I realize I’m still sitting on Hunter’s lap staring at him when he’s agreed it’s time to call it a night. I shift to stand but as soon as I push off him, I’m being lifted off the couch like a ragdoll and set back on his lap.

Hip. To. Freaking. Hip.

I’m straddling Hunter McAllister in a not-so-friendly manner.

It’s impossible to remain calm when I’m a deer caught in headlights.

What’s happening here?

I bite my lip. Part of me hopes this is what I think this is, but that irritating voice inside is telling me I’ve lost my mind and we need to forget this night ever happened.

“I umm... I thought it was time to go to bed. You...” I clear the tension from my throat. “You are welcome to take the bed. You’ll fit better than trying to curl up on this couch.
