Even Better Together

chapter nine

Sophia

"Come on in."

My apartment is only a small space, with a hallway leading into the kitchen on the left and living room on the right, at the bottom of the hall is the bathroom and both mine and Cassie's bedrooms.

We have made it our own adding a few pictures, house plants and candles in some areas. It feels like nothing compared to Hunter's luxurious penthouse, with dark tones and a very much minimalist feel.

Hunter steps inside behind me, takes off his shoes and walks into the living area.

I put my shoes and bag on the floor near the entrance and enter my small kitchen.

"Would you like a drink?"

"Sure, what do you guys have?"

I hear his footsteps coming closer in my direction.

I reel off all of the choices to him as he appears in the doorway, arms folded and leaning the left side of his body onto the door frame.

"I'll take a beer, thanks."

I grab a couple of beers from the fridge and set them down on the counter, turning to the cupboard behind me and reaching for some glasses.

I gasp as two large hands grip my sides. Hunter's breath on my left shoulder sending a chill down my spine.

I have to be honest, I never thought I would enjoy a man's touch as much I have done recently. The way Hunter caresses my skin, and gently touches my body, it makes me clench my thighs at the thought.

"I'm can't wait to taste you again Soph." Hunter whispers in my ear, I immediately tilt my head down, and smile at his nickname for me.

Only my best friends and Jen call me Soph, but Hunter saying it makes my heart race.

"Maybe you will soon." I tempt.

Am I fucking flirting right now?

His hands starts moving up and down slowly, feeling my slight curve of where my waist cinches in. I naturally have a slim figure and I don't have the biggest curves like my friends, but my bum and boobs are definitely in proportion with my body, and I'm more than happy with that.

I spin around in Hunter's arms and set the glasses down on the counter. He brings his thumb up to my bottom lip and tugs it down, licking his lips in the process like he wants to devour me.

I feel heat rushing through my body, I feel flustered. Like the air has just suddenly become ten times thicker.

I reach up and wrap my arm's around Hunter's neck, clasping my hands together. I feel Hunter's fingers trace down my shoulder blades, back to my hips and a gasp releases from me as with one quick, sudden movement, I'm lifted my my thighs and placed on my kitchen counter. My legs automatically part and Hunter wegdes himself inbetween them.

A small groan comes from him, our eyes not leaving each other's. I look more closely into his gaze and see tiny speckles on his green orbs, almost like little grains scattered amongst the olive green colour.

My chest arches forward as he leans his tall, muscular body over me.

"Soph! I'm home." I hear my best friends voice echoing through the hallway.

"Shit." I mumble, pushing Hunter away by his chest as I jump down from the counter.

Cassie stands in kitchen entrance, her jaw wide open, nearly hitting the ground as her eyes flick between me and Hunter.
