Even Better Together

chapter fifteen

Sophia

Hunter left an hour ago and I'm just washing my face before I get into bed.

The dinner and flowers were a nice gesture, and him needing to see me was sweet, but I get the feeling I'm missing something.

He kissed me with such urgency and cuddled me so tight, to the point he was squashing me. We had a relaxing evening, I had a couple glasses of wine with my dinner while Hunter stuck to water since he was driving.

At 11pm he said he had to go, so I walked him out. Slightly disappointed he didn't want to stay the night really, but I kept that to myself.

One week later ...

Another Friday night comes around and we are having our girls night in tonight as Ivy has plans with Lucas' family tomorrow night.

"So you haven't had any more dates this week?" Ivy asks me, wanting to know the latest on my dating life.

"He's busy with work." I shrug.

"Well I'm sure he would see you if he could." Ivy tells me.

My phone pings a few times while Ivy speaks, I reach over and look down at my screen.

A smile makes it's way onto my face as I read his sweet message that he has missed me and wants to see me. My heart races at the idea of being wrapped in Hunter's arms again and we haven't had sex since he stayed over at my apartment a couple of weeks ago now, I definitely want to be with him like that again.

Blushing, I reply and place my phone down and rejoin the girls chat, letting them know I'll be seeing Hunter this weekend after all.

It's nearly 7pm and I'm waiting for Hunter to come pick me up.

I've packed some fresh clothes for tomorrow and some essential toiletries. Wearing a nice underwear set, I want to be intimate with Hunter again, and I'm hoping that he will too.

I collect my things, head out the door and lock the apartment. Sitting in Hunter's car, he immediately leans over to kiss me.

"Hey Soph, you look beautiful."

I only have a slip dress on, as the weather has been gorgeous out today. I did bring a denim jacket with me just incase.

Hunter drives back to his penthouse with his hand on my thigh the entire time, I can feel the heat radiating off his palm, my stomach does a tiny flip, smiling to myself. I look over at Hunter, his hair pushed back on the top of his head, looks like he's pulled his fingers through it most of the day, he has a white shirt on rolled up at the sleeves, his sexy tattoos on display, grey check trousers clinging to his thick thighs, I squeeze my legs shut at the thought of how attractive this man is, and he wants me.

We arrive at the penthouse, Hunter takes my hand in his, the doorman is standing in the lobby, it's the first time I've seen him since my 'walk of shame'. How embarassing!

"Hey Eric, nice to see you, this is Sophia my gir- uh- my-"

"Hi, nice to meet you." I smile at the older gentleman, helping Hunter out by cutting in.

"Hello dear, nice to see you again, she is a very beautiful lady Mr Hunter." Eric says, walking us to the lift.

"You'll be seeing more of her around her Eric, add her to my list please when you have a minute."

"Of course Mr Hunter, have a wonderful evening." He waves us off as the doors close.

"When did you see Eric?" Hunter asks as we ride up to the twelfth floor.
