I reach down, getting my dick out. I don’t bother with the rest of my clothes. I can’t wait another second to be inside her. I climb up her body, thrusting all the way home. “Hunter,” she breathes out, her eyes finally locking with mine.
“Stop pulling away from me.”
“You’re inside of me. How could I be pulling away?”
“You know what I’m talking about.” I stare down at her, not moving an inch.
“Okay.” She wraps her arms around my neck, pulling me down for a kiss. When my mouth meets hers, I let go. I drive into her, reminding her that she’s mine. There is no putting up walls. I’ll bulldoze right through them.
I’m so on edge I’m already about to explode. My balls draw up tight. “You’re mine, Aspen. My wife.”
“I am,” she agrees. I thrust harder, needing to prove my point. I’m not sure if it’s to her or me. I need her to know what she means to me. Something happened today when I was gone. If I had to guess, someone got in her head, and I can’t have that. I don’t want her to ever doubt what she means to me.
We’re supposed to be a team, but we can’t be one until she knows the truth. Once she does, then no one will ever be able to put any doubt into her mind when it comes to us.
“I love you.” As I say the words, I realize I haven’t uttered them in years. Not to anyone.
“Hunter,” she cries out my name as she comes. Her pussy locks around my cock. She takes me with her. I thrust as deep into her as I can as I spill inside of her.
The last of the walls I’d built around myself, especially my heart, come tumbling down. This little slip of a woman slid past them all without even trying.
I’ve been trying to own her since I found her in my bed. All the while she’s owned me from the very start.

Aspen
“Angel.”
“I’m sorry.” I hiccup.
I don’t want to cry, but so many emotions are overwhelming me. It didn’t help that sadness had been lingering inside of me all day. I’d finally thought my life was changing. That Hunter could love me one day soon with how things had been going between us. That I was really getting some fairy tale. Then Charlotte had gone and ripped it all out from under me.
It didn’t help that later on Jacob’s wife had gotten me alone and made a few comments of her own. Something about the board for Hunter’s company being pissed about the no prenup thing. I don’t know how a company board or any of that crap works, but I definitely don’t want to screw anything up for Hunter. I know from what he told me about his past that he’s worked so hard to prove himself. I don't want to mess that up for him. Him marrying me was supposed to help his family life and his career. I’m so confused by all of this.
Jacob also mentioned something about there being emails that have been going around. Then asked if they were the reason Hunter rushed out of here today, with it being Christmas Eve and all. He then went on to say that I should probably get used to Hunter being gone more often than not. My head was spinning when I was done talking with him.
My only saving grace today while Hunter was gone was Sophia and Marco’s fiancé, Frank. He’s sweet and charming. He’s not what I was expecting. He was also hilarious and invited me to their wedding.
“I’m really happy is all.” Hunter told me that he loves me. He’d finally said the words I was waiting to hear. I’m mad that I let those jerks get in my head. Hunter swipes at my tears as fast as they come. “You still have your pants on.” I smile through my tears.
“Your fault. Needed inside of you. Couldn’t wait another second.” He groans as he shifts his cock to slip out of me.
“You’d think I was some sex goddess with how you go all caveman.” Hunter lifts me to put me fully on the bed. He holds me close.
“You are, and I went caveman because I could feel you pulling away from me.”
“It’s crazy how well you read me already.”
“Tell me what happened. All of it from the beginning. Don’t miss any of it. From the bad to the good.” I worry my bottom lip between my teeth, not wanting to ruin the holiday. I’m getting better at reading Hunter, and even before I knew he loved me, I knew he'd lose his shit with some of the stuff that was said today. “Angel.” He pulls my bottom lip out from between my teeth.
“I’m kind of embarrassed that I let them get in my head,” I admit.
