Chapter 8

By the time Hunter returned, flushed and sweating around his temples, Amber had worked up a righteous anger. She coldly watched him place a paper sack on the table.

“I got you a small snack to take to class with you,” he huffed. “I know you don't have time to get lunch this afternoon.”

His grin faded as she scowled at him.

“What is it? What happened?”

Shaking with anger, Amber stood up and pointed to the laptop.

“I looked at the bank statement. I never put Mr. Hansom's name on the check.”

She waited for his response.

“Just a second,” Hunter panted.

He walked over to the sink, turned the water on, and stuck his entire head under the spray. He slowly rinsed his face, hair and neck. When he straightened, he shook his head like a wet dog. Finally, he stared at her, raised his tee-shirt, and calmly dried his face with the bottom of the shirt.

Amber involuntarily drew a breath at the glimpse of his taut, smooth stomach. He inched the shirt up higher to dab at the back of his neck with the fabric. Grinning, he dropped the shirt back down. He walked over, his blazing green eyes intense.

“You're so beautiful when you're angry,” he whispered.

Amber blinked hard to clear her head. She found her tongue.

“How do you know about my landlord?”

Hunter ducked his head. A section of wet hair flopped onto his forehead. He shrugged apologetically.

“I have to confess that I did a little snooping.”

Amber wanted to reach up and tuck Hunter's damp hair back in place. Instead, she punched him in the stomach.

“Why would you do something like that? Don't you know it's creepy?”

Hunter backed away, holding his midsection.

“Impressive jab,” he huffed. “I'm sorry. But you didn't give me much choice. I should have just filed an incident report with Student Services. But I like you. I was trying to give you a break.”

“I still don't understand why you would need to file a report!” Amber shouted. “All I did was get a little dizzy and faint. Stop using your titty bitty student job as a way to get your way with me!”

Hunter froze and his face darkened.

“Atty bitty student job?” His voice was cold. “Is that what you think?”

His eyes were like hard pebbles.

“I didn't mean . . .” she tried to say but Hunter cut her off.

“If you didn't have English class in a few minutes, I would . . .”

Amber cut him off. “I'm dropping that class later today.”

She narrowed her eyes. “So why don't you show me exactly what you would do?”

Hunter looked startled and then grinned, stepping forward.

She backed away, but found herself sandwiched between him and the classroom whiteboard. She could have fought him, could have gotten away, but he hadn't even touched her.

Only those amazing green eyes pinned her there, helpless. She felt his body heat even through the damp tee-shirt. Water trickled down his neck.

Hunter raised both hands and supported himself against the whiteboard. “Say you'll be my roommate,” he whispered, his breath sending shivers down her back.
