Chapter 4
Hunter
My legs shook as I stormed out of Savannah’s dorm and my heart pounded as I stormed away from the one person who could quiet the storm raging inside of me. Now that I was away from her, Tracey’s messages were plaguing my mind and I wished I could just go back to Florida and see Holly and Hartley.
I didn't even know if they knew. Tracey didn’t say and I couldn’t ask, but my heart was broken. I knew when I left them that I was giving them their best chance at a normal life, but I didn’t know if I would ever see them again and that thought destroyed me.
I wanted to be better, to do better for them and for Savannah, but I couldn’t risk her losing her parents over me. It wasn’t fair on her to have to choose. My hands shook as I climbed into my car and I thumped the steering wheel as I sat in the driver’s seat.
My unshed tears filled my eyes as I thought about leaving her behind and becoming completely and utterly alone, but they didn’t fall. I wouldn’t let them. How long I sat staring at the doors of her dorm I didn't know, but I saw her parents leave and climb into a sleek black Audi that was parked at the curb.
They drove away without a backward glance and I wanted to go inside to check on her but how could I? I walked out on her and left her with them and what if they came back.
My cell began to vibrate in my pocket, and I pulled it out. My heart raced when I saw Savannah’s name on the screen, and when I answered it, she could barely speak. Her sobs killed me, and I wanted to go after her dad and rip his head off.
“Calm down, princess. I’m here. I’m out in the parking lot…”
“I can’t… they… uh…”
I could barely make out any words and I jogged over to the door to her dorm, shaking it as I tried to get inside. I paced around the door as I spoke to her, but my words were having no effect on her and all I wanted to do was to get inside. I was at the far side of the door when a girl ran outside and over to a waiting car.
I bolted to the door and managed to open it up just before it closed. I darted up the stairs and was outside her room a few moments later, knocking on the door. She didn’t answer and I was scared to knock loudly in case I was made to leave. My eyes scanned the corridor, but there was no way for me to get inside and then I glanced to my feet and saw her keys lying discarded on the ground.
Scooping them up, I quickly unlocked her door and walked inside to find her crumpled on the floor with her cell in her hand. She didn’t look up at me as I scooped her up and carried her into bed, nor did she flinch as I climbed into the bed beside her.
When I left, I was trying to do the right thing, but hurting her was never my intention. I was trying to save her the agony she was currently experiencing.
“I’m all alone,” she told me through her sobs, and I tightened my hold on her, wishing I could take her pain, but knowing I couldn’t.
“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, princess.”
“You left me and then I had to tell them to leave…”
“I didn’t go far. I promise.”
“But you left me.”
“I know and I’m so sorry. I just wanted to stop you from hurting and I should have stayed.”
My hungry eyes scoured her face and I leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her cheek. Her hands tightened on my arms and I saw her eyes tighten for a moment.
“I love you so much, Savannah. I never wanted to hurt you. Please believe me.”
She nodded slowly and bit her lip as she stared at me and lifted her right cheek from my arm to press a soft kiss to my lips. It only lasted a moment, but I knew I’d need to explain fully why I’d gone, but it wasn’t the right time. I was proud of her for standing up to her parents, but something was eating at me. Her cheek was swollen, and I knew it hadn’t been before I’d left.
“Savannah, what happened to your cheek?”
My soft words made her eyes water, and she shook her head and bit her lip as the reason hit me. One of them had struck her. My whole body stiffened, and she reached up and ran her fingers gently over my face, smoothing my frown lines.
“Hey, it’s okay. I’m okay…”
I leaned my head against hers as I tried to cool my ire, both at myself for leaving her and at whoever had hurt her. After a moment I opened my eyes and saw her lick her lips before her lips crashed down on mine. Before we got lost in the moment though, I wanted to ask her if she would spend her Christmas vacation with me.
I knew I’d already asked, but a lot had changed since earlier that day and I wanted to take her away and spoil her. She deserved it. She wound her arms around my back and leaned up to kiss me, but I moved back a little and she frowned at me.
“Patience, babe. I have something to ask you first.”
She raised her eye and stared at me for a moment in a way that made me chuckle and she pouted at me as I stared down at her. I was longing to taste her again, but I knew that if I did, I never wanted to let her go again.
“Princess, will you spend your vacation with me?”
Confusion danced across her face, followed by pain and then she smirked up at me as she spoke in a low, seductive whisper.
“Maybe. Maybe you need to remind me of how good we are together before I say yes.”
Her words, her body against mine, and her scent were all driving me wild and I kissed her lips hard watching her whole face light up as I did.
“Will you spend your vacation with me?” I asked again and she shrugged, giggling as I tore my sweater over my head and tossed it to the floor.
I kissed her again and asked her the same question, but she just laughed as I sat up and tugged my belt through the loops of my jeans, tossing it to the floor to join my sweater, shirt, and shoes.
I still had my jeans and boxers on, and her body was still covered when an idea hit me.
“Savannah?” I muttered in a hoarse whisper as my hands undid one button on her sleepshirt.
“Yeah?”
Her answer was breathless, and I wondered if I could get her to say yes while inside her.
“What do you want?”
“You, I just want you!”
My cock hardened at the sight of her and her hands ran over my chest and up my neck, tugging me down to kiss me. As our tongues tangled, I unbuttoned her sleepshirt and leaned back to see her naked body beneath me.
Her hands slipped inside my jeans and she ran her fingers over my cock making me groan loudly as she stroked me.
“Fuck, princess… I have to be inside you…”
My whole body thrummed as she withdrew her hand and lay back down on the bed as I tugged her shorts off and lowered my mouth to suck on her nipple. Her fingers wound in my hair and she pushed me lower, showing me exactly what she wanted.
My tongue dipped into her navel as I made my way down and she squirmed beneath me. Her scent invaded my nostrils as I licked down her folds and slid my tongue into her pussy making her moan loudly on the bed.
I began to dart my tongue in and out, licking up and down as I did and sucking her clit into my mouth while I danced my fingers up the insides of her legs.
Her whole body trembled, and she gripped my hair tightly, holding my head in between her legs tightly as my finger pushed inside of her. My other hand gripped her thighs and I licked, sucked and finger-fucked her until I could feel her body tightening. I stopped what I was doing and held her down on the bed to stop her moving and she whined my name.
“Hunter…”
“Yes,” I answered with a smirk as my eyes met hers and she growled at me.
“Please…” Her breathless plea almost made me cave in, but I wanted her to agree and I wanted to be inside her as she came.
“Please what, princess?”
“I need you…”
Her fingers tightened on my hair and she pushed me down again riding my face and again I stopped while she was on the cusp, making her growl.
“Come with me, princess. Spend your vacation time with me, please?”

sp; “Okay, fine. You win. I’ll spend it with you…”
My smile was wide as I went back down on her and ravished her with my tongue until her orgasm barreled into her and she threw her head back, moaning as her pussy clenched around my fingers.
Before she finished, I grabbed a condom from my wallet and tore it open, pulling it on as I shoved my jeans and shorts down my legs, kicking them off before I flipped my girl onto her belly and slid into her from behind.
The loud groan and the way she moved up, so I was fully sheathed, made my body quiver and my heart soar, and as I began to move, my heartbeat quickened.
“Sav, oh my God… I missed you so much…”
My hands moved from her waist up to her nipples as I fucked her with reckless abandon from behind. Her body moved against mine and my lips kissed and nibbled on the skin of her shoulder.
Our movements got more frantic and I could feel the tingle beginning at the base of my spine, but she wasn’t there yet, so I slowed my movements and then started to fuck her faster and harder than before. I left one hand toying with her nipples and plucked her hand off my thigh, leading it to between her legs.
I toyed with her clit with our joined hands and then whispered to her, “You do that…” as I brought my hand up her abdomen and back to her nipples.
She turned her head and kissed me so hard that I almost saw stars before she broke away breathing harshly and saying my name.
“Oh, Hunter…”
Her pussy began to squeeze my dick and the tingle from my back intensified and spread to my balls. My cock squeezed and I shot my load into the condom as she rode the last of her orgasm out.
I couldn’t see, couldn’t think because my hand had been such a poor imitation of this goddess in front of me and I wanted her to be mine forever.
She lifted up from my thighs and collapsed onto the bed, breathing hard as I lay down beside her and wrapped my arms around her. For a moment there was silence and the only sound I could hear was my racing heartbeat in my ears and our rapid breaths.
Her body turned to face me, and she buried her face in my chest.
“What is it, babe?” I asked in a croaky whisper and she leaned back a little to look up at me. Her eyes glowed and her cheeks were pink as she chewed on her full lips.
“I love you, so much, Hunter…”
“I love you too, princess…”
I leaned down and captured her lips, slipping my tongue into her mouth and holding her tightly as our tongues met. After a few seconds I pulled back and kissed her forehead.
“Now go to sleep. We have an early start in the morning.”
“Where are we going?”
I shook my head, unwilling to spoil the surprise, but glad I’d gone with my instincts and booked the cabin for us.
“It’s a surprise.”
She nodded and then curled against me, pressing a soft kiss over my heart that made my heart thump unevenly. For the first time in a long time, I was content. I was safe and I was happy and as I drifted off to sleep I was excited because I’d be sharing my first free Christmas ever with the girl I was totally, irrevocably, and completely in love with and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the holidays than buried inside my girl, making her come over and over again.
Chapter 5
Savannah
I woke up once during the night and realized I was still half naked. My sleepshirt was open, and my shorts gone, but it was the man asleep in the bed at my side that had my heart roaring and my body aching. His face was relaxed in sleep and I let my eyes roam unashamedly over his face in the moonlight coming in my window.
He was so beautiful, and his tattoos and scars made him more so. My heart squeezed in my chest and I kissed him softly before settling back to sleep on his chest.
When I woke up at five in the morning, he wasn’t in bed with me and I wondered if I’d dreamed it, but then he opened the door and came back in. His naked body glistened, and I watched a droplet of water run from his jawline and down his gorgeous, sculpted body until it reached his V where it ran down until it reached the towel.
My hungry eyes met his and I could see the lust blazing back at me that echoed what I was feeling.
“Princess, stop looking at me like that and get your sexy ass out of bed. There’s a coffee on the table in the living room for you.”
I threw the covers back and he groaned, covering his eyes as he turned away from me to face the wall.
“Are you sure, Hunter?”
My voice shook as I suppressed a laugh and he glanced back over his shoulder at me with a grin.
“Yes. Come on. I need you to get up and get packed. I’m taking you away, remember?”
His eyes scanned my face and he chewed on his lip as he watched me, but I did remember agreeing to go away with him.
“You cheated…” I giggled as I got up and moved towards him, spinning him around and pressing my naked body against his. He smirked down at me and kissed me softly, before pulling back with a sexy wink.
“All’s fair in love, princess.”
His eyes scanned my body and I saw him swallow as he ran his fingers through his hair, brushing it back from his face. He glanced my way and swallowed again before he turned me towards the door.
“Now go get that sexy ass of yours dressed so we can get out of here.”
“Spoilsport.”
My whisper as I left the room made him chuckle and I sat on the sofa sipping my coffee as he dressed. Once he was dressed, I went into my room and threw some clothes on.
“Pack for a week, babe,” he called through the open door, so I quickly packed my clothes into my hold-all and threw my pill, makeup bag, and toiletries inside. Once I was finished, he came into the room and picked it up with a massive grin.
“Come on. Let’s go…”
He led me to the car, tossing my bag into the back seat after holding my door open for me. When he climbed in, I asked where we were going but he just smiled and said it was a surprise.
He started to drive, and after a few hours where we chatted about school and our plans, he pulled into a gas station with an IHOP attached.
“You want to get something to eat?”
“Sure, let’s get some food.”
It was a little after eight and I was starving, in need of coffee and to stretch my legs. We walked into the IHOP and he stopped to kiss me when we were just inside the door before leading me to order with linked hands.
Once our order was placed and we waited for it to be made up, his hands roamed down my back, cupping my ass for a second as he kissed me again.
As we sat eating, we talked about the future and I was surprised to find out that he was doing pre-law and was employed as a youth counselor.
“What made you want to do that?” I asked as I dragged my pancake through maple syrup and popped it into my mouth. I licked at the excess that was on my lip and he leaned forwards kissing me gently.
“I decided to try and help other kids out of gangs and try to stop them falling through the cracks into the gutter. I know how hard it is to get out, so if I can save one kid from that, then it’s worth it.”
His eyes pulled together as he spoke, and he ran his fingers over my wrist as he sipped his coffee.
“That’s amazing. I’m so proud of you.”
And I was. He deserved the praise because he’d left the club and gotten his brother and sister to safety.
“I don’t think I deserve you, princess, but I love you so much.”
Our lips met and we kissed for a moment, eating the rest of our breakfast in silence and then going to the car to continue our trip. His cell was giving us directions, but the countryside was whiter and everywhere I looked it was like a Hallmark card.
My eyes scanned our surroundings as we drove through a little town and out to the woods. Once at the woods we drove down to a little two-story wood cabin with a hot tub outside and snow-covered trees surrounding us.
“It’s so beautiful,” I told him i
n an awestruck voice as I turned to look at him, but he wasn’t looking at the cabin as he answered.
“Yes, you are. You are a masterpiece, Savannah.”
I was about to answer when there was a knock at the window, and he opened his window to a gentle-looking older man who handed an envelope into the car before he nodded at us both and left.
Once he was gone, Hunter climbed down from the car and went up the few steps before opening the door. He waited on me to arrive at his side before he led me inside.
My mouth popped open at the large open-plan living room and kitchen. There was a log-burning stove that was already lit, a massive leather sofa and a staircase off to the side with a door on either side of it.
Hunter walked us inside and opened the doors, on the left was a bathroom with a large walk-in shower and freestanding bath and on the right was a bedroom with patio doors that showed a path down to a lake.
The bed was a four-poster one and mahogany colored with a thick comforter and dark gray bedding. It was gorgeous and there was a cream rug on the dark wood flooring and cream curtains over the windows.
“You go sit on the sofa and I’ll get our stuff from the car.”
Hunter left me and after a few trips everything was inside. The timing was perfect because the clouds darkened, and it began to snow heavily just after he closed the door. His truck was parked in a small garage and I watched the snow fall and line the trees.
“Savannah,” Hunter muttered and I turned and gasped. While I’d been looking out of the window, he’d set up a small tree and decorated the room.
“What do you think?”
His voice was low, and I could see the uncertainty behind his expression, but it was perfect. I stood up and made my way towards him, wrapping my arms around his waist as I glanced around the room.
“It’s perfect. This is heaven.”
He smiled and then brought his lips to mine, kissing me firmly before lifting me up and carrying me back to the bedroom. He kicked the door closed and set me down on the bed gently.
Our kisses began to get more frantic and we tore at each other’s clothes, touching each other and teasing each other until we almost reached breaking point. His body was amazing, and I kissed my way down his sculpted chest, before I dropped to my knees by the end of the bed. His breath hissed out as I sucked him between my teeth and began to move up and down his shaft, licking and pressing my tongue against the underside of his cock as I did.
