HUNTER excerpt (Storm Brothers Book 1)
Share
Hunter and I start talking over each other.
“Princess, I’m sorry…” he starts.
“What was that kiss about?” I begin.
He holds up a hand. “I don’t know what came over me. That crazy fan was hounding me, and I felt so out of control. Then, I saw you in the crowd, and I just…” He pulls up short and takes a seat on the living room couch.
I follow and sit on the other end of the couch. “You just…what?” I ask him.
His green eyes roam my face for a moment before he speaks.
“I wanted you,” he says casually in that way only Hunter Storm can pull off. “I’ve never stopped wanting you, Winter.”
Butterflies roll through my stomach.
I wanted you.
So fucking casual. So Hunter Storm.
And God, I wanted him too. I want him right this very second.
I fist my hands and shove them under my thighs to stop from reaching for him.
“It’s been years,” I say softly.
“I know how long it’s been.” He rubs the slight scruff on his jaw. “I’ve counted the years since you left knowing I fucked it up by not talking things through with you before you moved. And we had that big blow-up over nothing your last night here, which I’m also sorry for.”
I shake my head. “You didn’t fuck anything up, Hunt. That fight was a two-way street thing. Really, it was just a way for us to make a clean break. We were kids. And we both had big plans. If we’d hung onto what could have been…”
“I get it.” His jaw hardens. “I had to sacrifice everything to get where I am. I come from nothing, and hockey was my one shot to make something of myself. For my future. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t think of you. A lot.”
“You know what the truth is?” I can barely get the words out through the lust coursing through me. “I thought of you all the damn time in New York City, Hunter. Every. Single. Day.”
He turns his head slowly until his gaze locks with mine. His green eyes darken to the color of a pine forest, and we stare at each other. Three heartbeats pass. Until—
With a low growl, Hunter stands up off the couch and then resettles himself next to me. His mouth lands on mine so fast I should have been surprised again.
But this time, I’m ready for him.
My lips part, and Hunter’s hot tongue slides inside.
