By the time his eyes reached hers again, a devilish smile had lit up her face. “Uh, let me think.” He watched as her index finger tapped her lower lip as she pretended to ponder. “You’re good at lifting stuff, I guess. Oh, and let’s not forget growling ... you’ve got that down to a fine art. Hmm, what else?”

Naughty little fairy. Flipping them both, he reversed their positions until he was in between those luscious legs again, their faces just inches apart.

“You can’t think of anything else, honeybun?”

He knew exactly where to position himself as he rocked against her, slowly dragging his length up and down her most sensitive spot.

Rachel’s head tipped back, her eyes fluttering shut as she let out a moan.

“Can you think of something now?” he asked again.

No response. Just a whimper as he felt wetness soak his skin.

As his gaze dropped to her rosy lips parting, a sense of satisfaction washed over him. He couldn’t tell anymore if he was torturing her or himself. Either way, it felt good. Almost too good. And there was no way he was ever going to forget the sound of those sexy mewls she was making.

She was yet to answer him though. Which meant only one thing. He stopped. Stopped rocking and stopped dragging. And waited.

Rachel’s eyes immediately flew open, and he was faced with the sight of wide blue orbs, which were practically begging him to move.

“Please,” she breathed.

“Please what, baby?” Hunter didn’t hide his smugness.

“Please don’t stop.”

“You know what I wanna hear.”

“Oh my God,” she whined, her head thrashing against the pillow. “Fine. You’re amazing in bed, Hunter. You’re hung like a donkey and you’re king of sex. Now, please, sugar, I need you.” She squirmed beneath him, trying her best to get some relief.

How was it possible to make him laugh and turn him on at the same time?

Apparently Rachel wasn’t about to wait for him to figure that out. Her head was up, and her mouth was on his, nipping and sucking and driving him to insanity until it was his body making all the decisions.

It was time to grant his fiery fairy her wish.

***

One week after theyhad declared their love, Rachel was making good on her promise and had planned them a date. She’d also announced earlier that it was perfect timing because technically it was their one-month anniversary.

She’d timed it from the day of their first kiss, but Hunter wasn’t so sure about the accuracy. That kiss had been a long time coming. His feelings had been very real and very obvious way before that. But who was he to argue? As long as she was happy and they were officially together, that was all that mattered.

Rachel wanted to take his truck but wouldn’t tell him where they were going, so she was currently driving, and he was trying his best not to be one of those backseat drivers, even when she underestimated how big of a parking space she would need as she pulled into the lot outside of Steak and Bake.

“You’re taking me to get steak? Awesome.”

Hunter had already begun unclasping his seatbelt when a tiny hand covered his. “Actually, this isn’t our final destination, but yes, we’re having steak. I ordered ahead, so I’m gonna go grab our order. Be back in a sec.”

She was out of the truck moments later, swaying her hips in her tight little khaki dress all the way to the restaurant entrance. He watched with the biggest smile on his face. No one had planned a date for him before. He felt special.

As he waited for his sexy fairy to re-emerge, he leaned back into the headrest. He was struggling to remember exactly why he’d stayed away from her for so long. He’d missed out on months of happy just because he was too afraid of getting hurt again. He was an idiot. As soon as he’d laid his eyes on her, he should have known this was different.Shewas different.

His smile didn’t waver though, even as he continued to mentally berate himself for his stupidity. Because he had her now. And he wasn’t letting go.

Rachel finally returned to the truck a few minutes later, brown paper bag in hand. A paper bag that smelled damn delicious as it entered his truck cab.

“Hey,” Rachel chirped. “Right. Now to our final destination. Excited?”

He lost her eyes as she started up the engine. “As long as I’m with you, honeybun, I’m a happy man.”
