He turns and gives me the same wink he did the day before Jack shot Bobby Falcone’s men. “Good to know I’m not the only mutt you rescued.”
I snort a laugh and pull the covers around me, getting a good view of Hunter’s muscled body and strong legs as he yanks open the car door.
The dog bounds out, a rush of hair and enthusiasm to match Hunter’s as they both come inside.
Hunter wraps the towel around his waist then bends down to scratch the dog’s ear. “He’s a mutt. But with a bit of training, he’d make a good watchdog. Maybe even a good hunting dog.”
A smile creeps over my face at the irony. “I’ll name him Hunter then.”
Hunter narrows his eyes, but he’s trying to hold back a smile. “I was thinking Bob would work better.”
I nearly choke on a laugh. It entirely fits that I name the dog after the man who accidentally brought Hunter and me together. “Okay.”
From where he stands in front of the fire, a lazy smile grows on Hunter’s face as he slowly removes his towel. “You know I love you, right?” he says.
Heat starts to build in my chest as tears fill my eyes. I chew my lip, eyes locked on his tattoo as he stalks towards me. My voice comes out a croak. “I love you too.”
When he climbs back into bed, and kisses me, tenderly but full of passion, I know I won’t lose anything by committing to a life with him up here in the mountains.
I’ll win the life I always wanted.
Hunter may be as wild, untamed and rugged as the mountains surrounding us, but he’s also everything I’ve always wanted.
And after what we’ve been through, after learning who he is, who he wants to be, I need Hunter Sloan to be as permanent as the ink on his skin.
Because my father was right. The love of a mountain man like Hunter is definitely worth the risk.
Dear reader, pardon the intrusion.
I hope you enjoyed Hunter and Natalie’s steamy love story.
If you would like to see more published in the One Wild Weekend With Series I’d be grateful if you could place a short review.
Until next time...
