My Friend's Dirty Uncle

Because I’ve never been with a real man. Mostly there are only boys in my life like my cousin Aaron. Pimply, dorky dudes, with pizza faces and gangly limbs. But last night had turned everything on its head. Hunter had invaded my thoughts, consuming every inch of my mind. Is this what happens when a true alpha male appears?

I touched my cheek, heat burning through my skin.

Suddenly, a deep voice interrupted.

“You look beautiful,” it said. Swinging around, I gasped to see Hunter standing there in my dressing room.

“How did you find me?” I asked as a hot flush spread over my cheeks. “What are you doing here? Get out! This is the women’s dressing room section!”

Hunter chuckled. “Kristi might’ve mentioned you girls were going shopping today,” he replied in a low voice that sent a shiver down my spine.

A shiver ran down my spine.

“Bu-but you shouldn’t be here,” I protested. “This is the women’s section.”

Something gleamed in those deep blue eyes.

“Sweetheart, I’ve been to this store more times than you can count. My mom used to bring us here and make us wait while she shopped, so trust me, I know this place.”

And a shiver ran down my back because he was right. Something about the man was so commanding that the world bent to his will. He did belong here, because he wanted it that way.

“Besides,” the billionaire rumbled. “You’re gorgeous, sweetheart.”

Immediately, heat flushed my cheeks again, and my temperature went up a million degrees.

“You…you think I’m beautiful?” I asked softly. “Really?”

He walked up to me and pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. “You are the most beautiful creature I have ever seen.”

Hunter put his hand on my cheek and I leaned into his large, warm palm. I closed my eyes, breathing in his masculine scent. “I’ve never felt this way before,” I said, before I opened my eyes and started into his intense blue stare. “It’s so intense, it makes me forget to breathe.”

“I know it’s insane, but I feel the same way,” he said, putting his other hand at my waist. “I’ve never felt a connection like this either.”

As we stood in the dressing room, my heart began to pound. What am I doing? I wondered as I stared into Hunter’s dark blue eyes. This is totally crazy!

And knowing the alpha felt the electricity too, I decided to ask him.

“What should we do?” I asked quietly. I knew I was taking a gamble. I didn’t want him to run, but I knew I had to tell him how I felt even if it wasn’t clear to me. Whatever this was – whatever was beginning to develop between Hunter and myself – was far more powerful than mere attraction.

He pulled me into him. “I think we should explore what this is,” he said, pressing soft kisses my eyelids. “Do you want me?”

“Yes,” I said quietly, surprising myself. What in the world? How could I be so forward? But it felt right, and I leaned into his warmth.

He leaned in and kissed my lips so tenderly that I felt like I was about to melt. Hunter pressed his lips to mine in a passionate touch that sent a shiver down my spine. I couldn’t help but wrap my arms around his neck and push myself against his body. I opened myself up to him, as his tongue swiped my lower lip.

Hunter nibbled on my lower lip and I moaned softly at the touch of his teeth scraping my skin. Warm pleasure flooded my body and I spread my legs, wondering where he would touch me next. In a single smooth motion, Hunter backed me up so we were up against the mirror. I grabbed his forearm and wrapped my leg around his thigh.

“I’ve never done this before,” I whispered, finally finding my voice.

He stopped, leaning back to look at me. “We don’t have to do anything you don’t want,” he growled as he moved his thumb over my cheek.

“I know. I trust you,” I said. My heart was thudding – what was happening? How could I trust someone I’d just met?

The answer was unclear, and yet I knew it was the truth.

Hunter smiled gently. He went back to my neck, nibbling and sucking the skin below my right ear. My breathing picked up as I felt his hand go lower and lower, until it was at the edge of my dress. I couldn’t believe I was in the dressing room of a department store, getting felt up by the most gorgeous man I’d ever seen.

It was strange and slutty and not like me at all.

And yet it was exactly what I wanted.

His fingers edged under my dress until they were at the edge of my panties. I inhaled sharply as I thought about what would happen next. Hunter’s eyes met mine. He stared intensely as if asking for permission.
