Hunter took a deep breath. “What are you talking about?” he asked, expression intense.

I was taken aback by his reaction. I bit my lip, waiting for him to say more.

“What can’t you continue?” Hunter narrowed his eyes. “What’s the problem, Dani?”

“This,” I said, motioning my hand between our chests. “I care about you too much. I can’t just have a physical relationship without having emotions involved. I thought I could, but the more time we spend together, the more I’m starting to care for you. I don’t think I can be with you, unless you want something more.” I put my hand on his cheek. “You’ll ruin me if I don’t stop it now.”

Hunter looked at me for a long time before speaking again. And his next words had my heart pounding.

“I’m glad you feel that say, sweetheart. Because that’s what I want too.”

For a moment, I couldn’t believe it. The words rang through my head and I shook my head, blinking wildly. In my daydreams, I’d never imagined this happening.

“You what?” I asked again, unsure I had heard him correctly the first time.

Hunter smiled softly while he took my hand to kiss the inside of my palm. “This summer, I feel like I’ve come alive. I have felt things that I haven’t felt with anymore in the forty years I’ve been on this earth. And I know it’s because of you, Dani. I can’t imagine not seeing you every day and I can’t bear to have you leave me. I know it’s going to be a lot of work, but I know we’ll be able to make it work.”

“You want a relationship with me?” I whispered, eyes wide.

“Yes,” Hunter said, his voice a low growl. “Why is that so hard to believe?”

“I- I just can’t believe it, that’s all. I love you so much that I knew I couldn’t bear it if you said you didn’t want anything real with me.”

Hunter stopped his movements, turning his face to me. “You love me?”

I hadn’t realized the slip until he repeated the words back to me.

“I’m so stupid!” I wailed, covering my mouth with one hand. “I can’t believe I said that! Don’t listen to me, I don’t know what I’m talking about.” My cheeks were burning furiously in the dark and I was glad Hunter couldn’t see my face. Because what would he do now? Call it off? I hadn’t meant to say those words, and the pressure in this relationship had just ramped up a thousand percent.

But then the magic happened once again.

“I love you too,” Hunter said, his voice calm and serious. “I know we haven’t known each other for very long but I know in my heart that I love you. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. I’ve never been so sure of someone before. I know that we’re meant to be, sweetheart. You and me.”

Immediately, my heart started pounding, mouth hanging open. And instead of thinking, I went with my first instinct. Throwing my arms around his neck, I kissed his lips. I wanted to be consumed by the billionaire in the only way he hadn’t consumed me before. I could feel the ache in my chest growing and I knew the only way to contain it was to have him as close to me as possible.

The kiss was soft and sweet at first, until we both grew needy. Hunter set me on his lap, pulling me closer against him. He sucked on my lower lip as I moved my hands to his forearms, digging into his muscles. Spasms of arousal cascaded through my body and I shivered as Hunter slid his tongue into my mouth and sucked on my lips. I could feel the urgency in his kisses because there was a need there that I’d never before experienced before.

Hunter moved his face towards my neck as he lowered me down on the blanket. As his hot lips and wet tongue caressed my collarbone, I moaned softly and tangled my hands in his dark hair. Hunter growled and nipped at my soft flesh until hot lust raced down my spine. I spread my legs as Hunter nudged my round thighs apart. For a moment, I paused.

Was this wrong?

No, it couldn’t be wrong.

I wanted Hunter so much, I knew everything between us had to be right. I opened my legs wider as Hunter settled in between them, staring down at my face.

“There will never be a creature more beautiful than you,” he whispered as he took my lips again in a passionate kiss. Hunter’s mouth tasted salty and I licked his lips as the kiss grew deeper. I felt Hunter’s masterfully undo the buttons of my dress and I shivered with need. Yes, this was right. I was with my man, and I wanted to give him this gift.
