moaned loudly, the fear of
her parents discovering them only a distant thought in the back of her mind.
All she could focus on was the ecstasy she felt at having Hunter deep inside
her.
    “Hunter. Yes, oh yes. Just there,” she whimpered when he
pressed a hand between them, seeking out her sensitive sweet spot.
    When his fingers parted her flesh to find her clit, her
pussy was slick with her desires. Wiggling, she tried to get him to put more
pressure on it. She had touched herself there before, but it had never felt as
good as now. She clung to him, her arms clasped tightly around his neck and her
legs anchored around his waist. The fingers of his other hand kneaded the flesh
of her hips.
    “Please, Hunter. Faster. I need you.”
    “Say it again,” he demanded, holding her tight against him.
“Tell me you love me. Tell me you’re mine.”
    “Oh God, yes,” she replied breathlessly. “I love you. I’m
yours.” She trembled in his arms.
    He had never sounded so possessive, so animalistic. She was
loving it.
    Overcome with desire, she looked up at him. “I’m there.
Hunter, I’m there.” She was on the edge, so close that she was almost ready to
teeter over, but she needed him with her. Had to have him with her.
    Lifting his head, Hunter kissed her again. “Mine,” he
snarled as he pushed into her pussy deeper and shuddered as he came.
    His kiss captured her scream as she climaxed, shuddering
beneath him. Gabriella floated on a cloud of bliss, absorbing the reality of
what they had just done. Not one part of her regretted it—she could never
regret her Hunter.
    Gabriella had no idea how long they lay there, their bodies
tangled. As the hour grew even later, or earlier really, Hunter let out a deep
sigh. “I have to go.”
    “I know,” she whispered, not wanting to let him, but knowing
she had to.
    The kiss he gave her, so subtle and sweet, was exquisite.
“I’ll be here tomorrow around five o’clock to pick you up,” he promised.
    She smiled. “I’ll be waiting.”
    As he snuck out of her window, careful not to disturb the
rest of the household, Gabriella waved goodbye. She couldn’t wait for tomorrow.
After the formal they would celebrate his birthday as per her wishes, because…well,
he had never been very good at saying no to her. With a smile on her lips,
Gabriella drifted off to sleep thinking everything was perfect.

    Gabriella woke the next morning, unable to contain her
smile. The night before with Hunter had been magical.
    Leaving the cocoon of her bed, she took two stairs at a
time, practically dancing into the kitchen. Her brother Nolan had already found
his spot at the kitchen table, holding his coffee cup like it was the Holy Grail.
She grabbed a mug and poured herself some.
    “What’s got you so chipper?” Nolan asked.
    Peering over the rim of her cup, she shrugged. “Just excited
about tonight.”
    Nolan looked suspiciously at her. “You’re that worked up
over a formal? It wouldn’t have anything to do with a certain boy I saw
sneaking out of your room late last night, would it?”
    Choking on her drink, it took a moment for her to answer.
“Um, what?” she squeaked. She felt her face flush and wanted to smack herself
in the head.
    Nolan chuckled. “Don’t sweat it. I promise I won’t tell Mum
or Dad. Besides, we’ve all been waiting for you two to get your act together.”
    Gabriella gaped. “You have?”
    “Yes.” Nolan sighed, rolling his eyes. “Now hurry up. Mum
has a full day planned for you.”
    She groaned, her shoulders slumping. As her mother’s only
daughter, Gabriella had a feeling her Mum had been waiting for this day longer
than she had.
    “Probably best not to tell Dad about you two yet, anyway.”
Nolan grinned. “Because he’d likely shoot him first, and then ask when he
planned on marrying you.”
    Gabriella glared at her brother, who laughed, though he had
a point. Their father was a senior sergeant with the police force and knew how
to
