WE PULLED UP to Hunter’s place not too much later, and seeing the modest dwelling made me smile. It was a typical one-story rambler with slightly overgrown hedges and a huge crack in the walkway. The shutters were slightly askew and a little faded. It seemed worn around the edges. One thing, however, was new since the last time I’d driven past the home.

Smirking, I looked over at Hunter. “Your house is pink.”

Hunter’s gaze turned toward me as he sighed. “Yeah, the landlord decided it needed a coat. He calls it salmon, but you’re right…it’s pink.”

There was a cute expression of sullenness on Hunter’s face. Both Hunter and his father were a little on the…macho side. The idea of them retiring for the night in a home that resembled a pale sunset was too much to resist. I started laughing.

Hunter frowned, then shifted it to a smile. He silenced me with his lips, and I was a little breathless when he pulled away. “Want to come in? My dad’s gone, so we’ve got the place to ourselves for a while.”

I nodded, excited and nervous at the prospect of being alone with him. Sure, we’d been alone before, but nothing like this, nothing quite so intimate. So far, our alone moments had been in public—meeting up at the library for an hour or so before my dad showed up, going out to a packed theater to watch a movie, or heading to a bustling restaurant to grab a quick bite.

Having actual dates with Hunter was tricky, since I had to pretend that I was hanging out with Arianna, and that usually meant I had to be dropped off or picked up. There was a lot of deception involved in dating Hunter. I hated that it had to be that way; Hunter did too.

As I walked through his front door, he turned to me. “If we’re going to be getting any closer, Nika, I really should meet your mom.” Walking around behind me, he started removing my jacket. A shiver went down my shoulders when his fingertips grazed me.

“You will…” I wasn’t sure how to tell him that it would be so much easier for me if he didn’t ever meet her. Starla would be fine with us dating. Hell, she’d probably encourage me to do whatever I wanted to do with him. But my parents, my actual parents, would want to meet him too. And they wouldn’t be nearly as open to the idea of their daughter with an older man. “Someday,” I sighed. When I’m eighteen.

Hunter hung my jacket on a coat rack by the front door. He removed his as well, and my eyes lingered on the tight muscles I could see working beneath his thin shirt. “Well, I’d feel better about dating you if we could do it in the open.” He turned back to me, a crooked smile on his lips. “I feel like I’m doing something sinister whenever I hang out with my girlfriend.”
