Tonight couldn’t have been more perfect.
Chapter Sixteen
OLLIE
SNOWED IN
The world is quiet, covered in snow. It’s still coming down, the windows frozen over. The road out here still isn’t plowed.
It makes it even better.
Curling up into my oversized armchair, I sip my coffee, feeling better than I ever have in my life.
Hunter and I had sex last night. It was perfect. I never imagined my first time would be that good. I should have known that Hunter would make sure it was great.
I’m a little sore, but a good sore. I don’t know if it’s going to slow us down, because there’s still plenty we can do.
“Morning.”
Tipping my head backward at the scratchy voice, I see Hunter in a pair of low-slung sweatpants and nothing else. My eyes trail his movement as he pads into the kitchen to pour himself a cup of coffee before dropping onto the sofa.
“Hi.”
“How are you feeling?” he asks.
“Great.”
“Yeah?” He kicks his feet out, resting them on the side of my chair. “I was worried when I woke up and you weren’t there.”
I laugh. “That I was going to run out on you in my own house when there looks like a foot of snow outside?”
“Fair point.” He snorts.
“Don’t worry, Hunter. I woke up early and wanted to come watch the snow fall.”
He stares outside, the bright white light shining in his eyes. “It is pretty peaceful.”
“You were pretty peaceful too. I didn’t want to wake you up.”
A smile tugs at the corner of his mouth, even though he doesn’t look over at me. “What can I say? I was pretty spent after last night.”
“You weren’t the only one.”
“Think you’d be up for doing more of it?”
This time, Hunter turns a heated gaze toward me. A shudder racks my body. I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to the way Hunter looks at me.
I was always shy when the guys talked about sex in such a casual way. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the right person in my life.
Hunter? He’s the only person I’d have felt comfortable doing that with.
“Maybe some fooling around, but I’m a little sore.”
“C’mere.” He wags his finger at me.
It’s like a string is tied from his finger to me because I move immediately, plopping down into his lap.
“Hi,” I say again.
