For His Pleasure: The Boxed Set, Books 1-6 (For His Pleasure, For His Taking, For His Keeping, For His Honor, For His Trust, For His Forever) (83 page)

For the first time in a long time, she felt connected—truly connected to the world around her. And that’s when she knew she’d made the right decision to leave home and come to New York.

Everything had led her to this place and this moment.

A second later, a black car pulled up beside her on the street. The passenger door was pushed open from the inside, and Kallie pulled it the rest of the way open and bent down to peer inside.

This wasn’t the car that Red had sent for her.

Because Hunter Reardon was sitting in the driver’s seat, looking at her as if there were nothing strange about him showing up here.

“What are you doing?” she asked.

“Get in,” he said.

“I can’t,” she told him, even though her heart was pounding—and telling her yes.

She wanted to get in. She couldn’t lie to herself—she was happy to see him.

“You can.”

“I’m waiting for another car to pick me up and take me somewhere important.”

Hunter smiled enigmatically. “That’s fine. You can wait for it with me. Just give me five minutes of your time, Kallie. I’ve come a long way to see you.”

Sighing, she got inside and immediately the air was charged. She couldn’t look at him for fear that he’d see in her eyes how much she still wanted him.

“Why did you come?” she asked.

“Because, I need to explain why I act the way I do. I need to help you understand.”

“You don’t owe me any explanations,” she said.

“But it’s important to me. You’re important to me.”

There was a long silence after he said it, and Kallie’s pulse raced. Was it crazy that she loved hearing those words, even as she dreaded what it might mean for her?

“I feel like I might get hurt if I keep seeing you,” she said softly.

Hunter licked his lips and looked straight at her. Slowly, he reached out and put his hand under her chin, nudging her so that she would meet his gaze. “I never want to hurt you. But there’s something I need to explain.”

“Okay, explain.”

“It’s a lot to get into in five minutes,” he replied carefully. “You said that’s all you needed.”

Hunter grinned. “Okay, fair enough.”

She suddenly realized that Hunter Reardon was nervous. What about her and this conversation could possibly make him nervous?

“I’m listening,” she said. “But I’m getting out of this car unless you tell me what you want from me.”

Hunter grew quiet, and he seemed to search for words. Finally, he spoke. “Have you ever heard of BDSM?”

Kallie heard the words and didn’t know what to say. She nodded slowly, and then Hunter began to speak. And she couldn’t believe what he said next.
