I stared at the hulking man in the living room. Hunter was big enough to block the sunlight. We hadnât spoken at all during the long drive home.
He had followed me. It had taken me a little time to figure that out after he appeared and insisted on driving me home. I wasnât even surprised by that. I was coming to realize that Hunter did and said whatever he wanted, social niceties be damned.
He took what he wanted and asked questions later. And judging from the look in his eyes, he wanted me.
Maybe it wasnât an act. Maybe he wasnât the playboy Iâd imagined him to be. He might look the part, but he certainly wasnât acting like Don Juan.
He was acting like he cared. Maybe more than he wanted to. Which was exactly how I was feeling.
He just stared at me, breathing hard. I shivered, suddenly imagining that he was about to rip my clothes off. But what he did next took me totally off guard.
Without a word, Hunter held out his hand. I took it. Seconds later, I found myself face down over his lap.
âHunter!â
âBe still, woman.â
I froze, shocked by what was happening. I felt his hand smooth over the thin denim of my worn-in jean shorts. Then he slapped my ass. Hard.
âWhat are you doing?â
He smacked my ass again.
âHunter!â
âWill you listen? Really listen?â
âYes,â I choked out after the third smack, absolutely mortified. Iâd never been spanked in my life. First of all, I was a well-behaved child. Second of all, no one other than Gran would have ever dared.
And Gran was more of a âgo to your room but I will bring you cookiesâ type of disciplinarian.
He lifted me up and turned me so that I was sitting in his lap. We were so close, just inches away from each other. There was nowhere to hide my embarrassment.
âYou belong to me now,â he said. I opened my mouth to argue with him, but he shook his head. âAnd I belong to you. Partners. That means when you have a problem, you come to me.â
âWell, you knew about the problem!â I blustered, totally thrown by the whole âyou belong to meâ sentiment. I was flustered and surprised and secretly pleased by his declaration.
âYes. I knew you were surprised by what happened, but I thought you would take a couple of days to think about it. I meant it when I said that I wanted a baby with you. More than one. As many as you are willing to give me.â
He sighed and rubbed a huge hand over my back. I melted a little bit under the tender onslaught. Somehow, Hunter always managed to warm me up from the inside.
âHunter . . . I didnât take it yet. But this is ridiculous. We barely know each other.â
âDonât we?â he asked intently. âI know you. You are hardworking, loving, responsible, difficult at times, stubborn, and so fucking beautiful it almost hurts to look at you.â
Oh. My. God.
âAnd you know me.
