Page 111 of Hunters and Prey

When he selected a fighting game, she got excited. Cailyn sat cross-legged while he laid down beside her.

“I can’t access my inheritance until I graduate. All I have is my credit card which Hunt pays for me.”

“You’re sure you want to give that up right now?”

“No. I don’t. We can finish school somewhere else. Only a few more credits and we are done.”

“I don’t think you thought this through. We have to apply to another college, transfer credits, and all kinds of stuff.”

Cailyn shrugged. “That’s what we will do.”

Asher stared at her, his brows furrowed. She wondered what he was thinking. For a moment she was worried.

“You’re lucky I love you.”

She snickered and dropped her controller. She jumped onto him, gripping his shoulders as she pressed into them. He let his controller fall, not caring that it fell off the bed.

She leaned down to kiss him on the lips, almost getting lost in the intensity once his tongue licked her lips, and went deeper to tangle with her own. Her hair fell over her face, seemingly shielding them both, and tickling her cheeks.

One kiss had him ready to rip her clothes off, but she sat back up, pulling her hair into a bun on top of her head.

“Good,” she said, a little breathless. “We can take off the rest of this semester.”

Asher sighed, trying to pull her back down for more.

She had an idea. “Wait. We can finish online! I don’t even really need to be present for my classes. They can be accessed online if need be.”

Asher gave her butt a squeeze, sending shivers along her entire body. Every touch excited her. This new chapter of her life; the one where she was a sexual being was new to her, and she couldn’t get enough.

At that moment, however, she couldn’t help but turn her focus to their future away from her family and their drama.

“I guess I can do that too.”

She bit her nails. “Good. We can really do this.”

Asher took her hand from her mouth. “Stop biting your nails.”

Cailyn rolled her eyes. “I’m thinking.”

He sat up on his elbows, his blond hair falling just above his eyebrows.

“Promise me that when we leave, you’ll tell me what you’ve been hiding. You already said that you would. Did you mean it?”

The tequila made its way into her bloodstream making her feel warm all over. She bit her lip as she looked away from his gaze.

“I promise,” she whispered.

“Good.” Asher took off his shirt and tossed it aside.

She ran her hands along his abs.

“But where will we go with no money?”

“There isn’t a problem,” he said. “I can cover what we need.”

Cailyn smiled up at him. “And, I thought I was the wealthy one in the relationship. I thought I was going to take care of us.”

He stepped onto the floor and took off his pants. She got under the covers and he joined her.

“Well, I kinda earned my wealth over the years.”

Cailyn raised a brow. “And I didn’t? You try to grow up in a family like mine. I earned mine as well. They’re just holding my money hostage for now.”

“I didn’t mean it like that,” he said, pulling her into his embrace. He smoothed her hair and kissed the back of her neck. “You definitely deserve the very best. And I’m supposed to be the one taking care of us anyway. Not you.”

“God, you’re so good to me,” Cailyn said, her heart aching at the thought of ever losing him. She shoved the idea out of her mind. They would be together forever.

She’d fight for Asher. She’d kill for him if she had to.
