“I said, you won’t deny me the pleasure of hearing your moans while I fuck you, will you?”

“No,” I say, before immediately correcting myself, “No, Sir.”

“Gods help me,” he says, sliding his fingers through the embarrassingly wet mess between my thighs.

“The Gods aren’t here, Hunter. If you’re in the mood to worship, it’s going to have to be my body you kneel for.”

“That fucking mouth of yours,” he groans before sitting up to his knees, pulling my legs over his shoulders.

“Ready?” he asks, but I’m already sliding his tip through the wetness awaiting him between my legs.

"Yes, Hunter. So fucking ready."

“Tell me if you need me to slow down,” he says as he slowly pushes into me.

My moans are in both pleasure and pain as his thick head stretches me more than his fingers have before.

"Gods! Fuck! You're so tight, Baby. Are you ready for more?"

The sound that escapes me is a soft mix of a moan and a humming confirmation.

“Who knew this would be all it would take to get you to stop being so fucking sassy?” he teases, and I return the sentiment by squeezing my pelvic muscles around him.

“Fuuuuckkk, Seiri. You can't do that.”

"You can't stop me," I snap back, and realize I've just opened Pandora's Box a moment too late.

Hunters fingers dig into my sides, and I've never hurt so fucking good. His hips snap wildly against my skin, my moans only slightly muffled by the intensity of the rain still falling down around us.

“Hunt—”

“Yeah, Seiri?”

A whimper escapes me.

"Words, love. I need your words."

"Fucking ruin me."

"Ifought it, Seiri. You have to know I did," I tell Annalise as I pretend there's still mud to wash off her stunning naked body. "You were my student. Then you became my reluctant roommate. Every instinct I had told me to keep my distance, and to remember the lines I couldn’t cross."

A slow breath leaves me as she shakes her head, "None of it mattered."

My gaze stays fixed on her back as I find the confidence to tell her things I never thought would leave my mouth. "Somewhere between training you, patching you up after you put yourself in danger time and time again, arguing with you every chance you got, and watching you get knocked down only to stand back up again...I lost the fight. My career fell to the wayside, as finding a way to make you smile became my reason for climbing out of bed every morning."

A soft grin tugs at her lips as she peeks over her shoulder at me.

“I seem to remember making you smile first thing in the morning once,” she teases, though she can’t hide the bright blush to her cheeks.

Taking another step closer, I close what little space was left between us and spin her so I can really see her.

"More than once, but I wanted you long before you ever let me touch you. Every stubborn, infuriating thing you did only made it worse. Every time you let your guard down...Every ounce of trust you placed in me…Every moment you surrendered yourself to me…I fell harder.

"I love you Seiri. I love the way you challenge me, and the love and loyalty you have for your friends, I love the way you make the most of every moment of every day, even when it takes every ounce of strength you possess. And I love how fucking incredibly stubborn you are."
