Steaming Desire - Melissa Young

Chapter Five - Hunter

Fuck, fuck, fuck. The one word that spun in my head from the second she stormed out, a while ago. Sitting at the exact spot that I had been sitting in with her ass pressed to my legs, her precious cunt against my throbbing cock and her sweet lips consumed by mine. 

   I sighed again and buried my chin and cheeks in my rough hands, looking up at a furious Knox. He sat with his arms folded over his chest, fists clenched along with his jaw. Legs were spread in some twisted way of showing control, his feet planted with a firmness that could be played off as them being glued to the swaying floorboards. 

   I would never in a million years admit it but, I was proud of him for not throwing up yet, his stomach was not built for sea travels, and to be under deck on a pirate ship made it all that harder for him.

   I didn't know if it was a pirate ship though, I assumed that it was based on how it looked when we were being dragged onto it and how the architecture in this disgustingly dirty dungeon probably looked about sixty years ago.

   "I can't believe it, Hunter." Knox snapped me out of my thoughts with what I assumed would be another stream of profanities or scoldings.

   "I really don't get why you are so pissed at me, I didn't do anything wrong." Knox suddenly rose to his feet, furious. He started to pace the room, like he always did when the anger came close to consuming him.

   "We went to sleep yesterday with an agreement, Hunter." I sunk my teeth into the soft skin of my lip, tasting Kiara there. I knew a problem started to form when he used my name in sentences. Knox began to walk through the events that made him pissed, another coping mechanism. 

   "We agreed that we wouldn't fuck her, Hunter. I made you promise after you basically jumped her after she crushed your balls." He took a short break from his unnecessary info dumping, but I didn't open my mouth, anything that came out of me would ten out of ten cases make him angrier. "We both went to sleep, and I wake up from moans as you are fucking dry humping her." I could almost see the steam erupting from his ears.

   "Oh please, we were barely making out," I told him, big mistake. He clenched his teeth again and fisted his hands, looking ready to punch something, correction, he looked ready to punch me. 

   "So that was why she was grinding on your cock?" I could feel my cheeks flush, and I started to fidget with my cuticles, remembering the luscious curves of her hips under my palm. "Thought so," he huffed. "You fucked up our only way out of this shithole." Taking a step toward me, he breathed with heavy puffs of air as he gave up any chance of calming down.

   "You weren't exactly inviting her in for a conversation when you yelled after her."

   He huffed, "You already messed the whole thing up before I did that, but why does it matter when she is never coming back?"

   "She will be back," I stood up in front of him. "I felt the way she kissed me, she is going to want more of it." He broke out in an uncontrollable laughter and cracked his knuckles.

   "Get your head out of your ass, Hunter," he told me in between chuckles. I started to lose patience. I knew she would be back, she promised to help us. The temporary anger that flooded me as soon as Knox stepped close dissipated once he took a step away, and I sat down, exhausted. It wasn't as easy to get worked up as Knox, which made us a good team. 

   We had plenty of time to sort this whole thing out with Kiara, I didn't understand why he was so stressed. She would be back in a couple of hours to give us breakfast, my stomach growled at the thought and I turned to Knox who still paced the floor

   "The food is disgusting, by the way," I leaned back and crossed my legs. His head snapped toward me, but I didn't bother being scared of his murderous expression. "Thought you might want to know since you are hunger striking." I smirked, it was stupid, but I took joy in seeing him suffer a bit. He had always been served everything with a silver spoon, literally, so it was nice to see him in a bit of temporary pain.
