I woke up in the middle of the night feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. I untangled myself from Hunter and headed to the bathroom. Maybe it was because of what Hunter had told me before bed? I knew how it was to not have a choice and I refused to hand over my life to anyone. I still can’t believe that contracts even exist. Thomas would have known about this, so I am going to call him.
After I finished using the bathroom, I washed my hands. Looking in the mirror, I noticed that my skin was flushed. I walked out of the bathroom to find Hunter sitting up, leaning against the headboard.
“You okay. Beautiful?” he asked as I made my way over to the bed.
“I feel weird.” I told him. But before I could even climb in next to him, he had me on my back, pinning me to the bed. He buried his face in my neck.
“Hunter!” I yelled out.
“Baby, you’re in heat.” he purred, running his tongue up my neck. Goosebumps erupted all over my body, and I let out a soft moan.
“Hunter,” I moaned out. His touch was easing the discomfort I was feeling. I arched my back, pushing my chest against his.
“Goddess, you smell so good.” Hunter purred against my neck.
“Just don’t stop touching me.” I breathed out. He pulled away, and I gripped his shoulders, digging in my nails. He moved his hand between us, rubbing his tip into my clit. Moaning, I dug my nails in deeper.
“Baby, you’re soaked,” Hunter groaned. I rolled my hips, needing him inside me. The need was overwhelming as my body burned for his touch. Hunter positioned himself at my entrance and, with one hard thrust, he was buried deep inside my aching pussy.
“Fuck, Beautiful,” Hunter groaned, while I moaned out loudly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck, pulling him impossibly close. I crushed my lips to his, nipping and sucking until his lips parted. I thrusted my tongue into his mouth, tasting every inch of his mouth.
Hunter swallowed my moans as he pumped into me harder and deeper, moving one of my legs over his shoulder. I only pulled my lips away from his to scream out his name before I couldn’t breathe as my orgasm ripped through me. Hunter moved faster, chasing his own release as I rode out my pleasure. I was still a moaning mess as Hunter groaned, releasing his hot ropes of cum deep inside me. After a few more thrusts, he stills on top of me. We were both panting as he rested his forehead against mine.
“Better?” he breathed out.
“So much better.” I giggled, still trying to catch my breath. The burning sensation had subsided, and I was ready for bed now. Hunter rolled off of me and pulled me to his side. I snuggled into his chest, closing my eyes. He snuggled me closer to him, kissing my forehead.
The rest of the night went about the same. I’d wake up with my body on fire and jump on Hunter, needing his touch. Hunter kissing my forehead, stirred me awake. I still felt exhausted, opening my eyes to find that he had showered and was already dressed.
“Baby, where are you going?” I yawned.
“Go back to sleep, Beauiful. I didn’t mean to wake you. I have a meeting that I can’t miss, but you link me if your heat comes back.” He told me and I let out a whimper, grabbing his arm. I didn’t want him to leave. I didn’t feel any more heat, but I still didn’t want him to go.
“Are you in pain?” He asked me and I shook my head.
“I just don’t want you to go,” I whispered.
“Awe, Beautiful. I promise this meeting will be quick. The alpha I’m meeting with has to go back to his pack today, and it’s over a day’s drive. I canceled all my other meetings. I’ll be back in an hour, tops. And you link me if you start to feel anything.” he told me, kissing my lips.
“Okay, Baby.” I told him.
“Get some sleep. You need it. And I’ll be back soon.” he whispered. Hunter covered me up and kissed my forehead.
“I love you, Beautiful.” He told me before he left the room.
“I love you.” I mindlinked him. I snuggled back into our bed, breathing in his scent. Unfortunately, my sleep was nothing but restless.
I found myself back at the auction house, waiting with the other girls as the bidding was about to begin. I remember thinking, how could anyone be okay with buying another human being? Can there really be this many evil people in this world that hold no value over human life? I held my head down as they moved me to the middle of the stage. They dressed me in only a small tank top and a thong as they spun me around for the bidders to see. The humiliation that I felt from being on display for these monsters made me want to cry. I zoned out during the bidding. I didn’t want to know how much they believed my life was worth. When the bidding was over, they dragged me off the stage to get cleaned up for my new master. I heard a commotion before I sat up with a start. Blinking a few times, I looked around to find that I was back in my room. It must have been a nightmare.
My heart was racing, and I was covered in sweat and it wasn’t because of the heat. The thought of being owned again scares me to death. I tried to calm myself down before I climbed out of bed to have a shower. Hunter still wasn’t back yet.
“Beautiful, are you okay? I felt your panic.” Hunter said in my mind.
“Just a nightmare. Where are you?” I asked him.
“The meeting is just taking longer than I thought. There have been more rogue attacks and we are discussing what can be done,” he answered.
“I understand,” I told him.
“How are you feeling? Do you need me to come home?” he asked him.
“I’m okay, Hunter. Finish your meeting. I love you.”
“I love you, Beautiful. I’ll be home soon, and if you need me, mindlink me.” He told me.
“I promise.” Before I closed the link, I said. I went into the bathroom to shower.
When I was done, I pulled on a pair of sweats and one of Hunter’s shirts. His scent was more calming right now. I walked out into my little kitchenette to make myself a mug of coffee before sitting down to get some work done. I was grateful that I didn’t have class today, but I’m sure I had an inbox full of emails to answer. And I also had to go over my lesson plan for tomorrow’s class.
Consumed in my work, I didn’t notice the time until Hunter entered the flat. I was sitting on the couch, with my nose buried in my laptop. I looked up at him and he looked exhausted. He flopped down on the couch beside me.
“You okay?” I asked him, closing my laptop.
“I should be asking you the question.” He said, wrapping an arm around me and pulling me into his side.
“Yeah, I think the heat is over.” I told him.
“Shouldn’t heat last longer?” He asked me, sounding confused.
“To be honest, Hunter, I never thought I’d actually have a heat. But I can make an appointment. I just don’t want you to get your hopes up.” I sighed.
“Kailen, whatever happens, happens. Either way, I have you and that’s all I need.” He said, wrapping his arms around me, holding me close.
“I love you so much, Baby.” I mumbled into his chest.
“I love you, Beautiful.” He whispered, kissing my forehead. We sat there in a comfortable silence, just holding each other.
Hunter let out a groan when his phone rang in his pocket. He shifted so he could pull it out. Looking at the screen, he growled.
“Hunter, what’s wrong?” I asked him, sitting up so I could look at him.
“It’s nothing, beautiful,” he told me, ignoring the call. I gave him a pointed look, but I didn’t push it. I knew he’d tell me in his own time.
“What have you been up to?” He asked me, changing the subject.
“I’ve been working. But I’m starving now.” I told him.
“Well, I have the rest of the day off, so how about we order in.” He said, and I gave him a smile.
“That would be wonderful. What do you feel like eating?” I breathed out.
“You,” His voice was husky with lust as he pulled me into his lap, so I was straddling him.
“How about you feed me first, and then you can play with me?” I told him before I licked his bottom lip. His hips bucked, rubbing his hardened length into my core.
“That wasn’t nice,” he groaned.
“I thought you liked it when I was naughty.” I whispered into his ear, causing goosebumps to erupt all over his body.
“Keep it up and you won’t be eating.” he warned me. I grinded my hips down into him, while I licked up his neck.
“I guess I can wait.”
