“Yours,” she gasps, her nails digging into my shoulders. “Only yours, Hunter.”
The pressure builds at the base of my spine, my rhythm becoming erratic as I chase release. Aurora’s eyes lock with mine, pupils blown wide with pleasure and a deeper emotion that threatens to break through walls I’ve built over a lifetime.
“I’m going to fill you,” I rasp, feeling my control slipping. “Mark you from the inside out.”
Her inner walls flutter around me, her third orgasm building. The knowledge that I can reduce this fierce, independent woman to trembling need beneath me is intoxicating.
With a primal growl, I bury myself to the hilt and explode inside her, pumping her full of my release. Wave after wave of pleasure tears through me as I empty myself. My orgasm triggers her own as she squirts all over my cock, moaning loudly as her cunt squeezes me like a vise.
“Fuck,” I groan, continuing to thrust through mine and her orgasm. “Take every drop.”
I collapse against her, still buried inside, unwilling to break our connection. My breath comes in ragged pants against her neck as I grasp her face between my hands.
“An eternity,” I murmur against her lips, “fucking and breeding you will never be enough.”
The honesty in my voice surprises even me. Hunter Reed. A man who professes to care about no one is falling in love with a woman. Aurora Harrison. His fiancée’s sister.

AURORA
Iwake to warmth and the steady rise and fall of Hunter’s chest against my back. His arms are wrapped around me possessively; one hand splayed across my stomach. For a moment, I breathe, allowing myself to enjoy the sensation of being completely enveloped by him.
When I shift slightly, I realize he’s already awake. I turn in his arms to face him, finding his intense gray-blue eyes studying me.
My chest tightens painfully. This can’t continue, not like this.
“You need to break it off with Olivia,” I say, my voice quiet but firm. “And I’ll tell her the truth about us.”
Hunter’s thumb strokes my cheek, his eyes never leaving mine. “I was planning to end it as soon as she returns from London.”
“I need to be honest with her,” I continue, guilt twisting inside me. “She’s my sister. I’ve already betrayed her enough by being with you behind her back.”
He nods, surprising me with his immediate agreement. “We’ll handle it however you want.”
I take a deep breath, thinking about my conversation with Olivia before she left. “She actually didn’t seem thatbothered about potentially calling off the wedding. I think your arrangement was more important to our father than to her.”
Hunter’s expression doesn’t change. “That doesn’t surprise me.”
“But...” I hesitate, considering the implications. “Maybe we should frame it as her idea? Like, she decided to break it off with you. Olivia is obsessed with appearances, and this way she saves face in front of her friends and social media followers.”
His jaw tightens. “As long as the result is the same, I don’t care how it happens. I want you. Publicly. No more hiding.”
I curl deeper into Hunter’s embrace, savoring the weight of his arm around me. The past twenty-four hours have been a whirlwind, both terrifying and exhilarating all at once. Outside, waves crash against the cliffs, but in here, wrapped in Hunter’s expensive sheets, I feel strangely safe despite everything.
“Are you hungry?” Hunter murmurs against my hair. “I can have something prepared.”
I shake my head, not wanting to break this bubble we’ve created. “Not yet.”
His fingers trace lazy patterns on my bare shoulder. Though we’re hiding from this Jax person and whatever organization Hunter belongs to, I’ve never felt more at peace. It’s strange how little I know about what’s really happening, yet how completely I trust him.
“We should probably talk more about Jax,” I say, though I make no move to pull away. “I still don’t understand who he is or why he sees me as your weakness.”
Hunter’s body tenses slightly beneath mine. “Later. Right now, I want to be here with you.”
I’m about to press further when my phone buzzes on the nightstand. Reluctantly, I reach for it.
The blissful warmth evaporates instantly when I see Olivia’s name on the screen.
