“Oh my goodness.”
“You like?” he said, watching her reaction intently.
She nodded, still chewing. Finally, she swallowed. “That might be the best grilled cheese sandwich I’ve ever tasted.”
Hunter beamed proudly, but tried to downplay his success verbally. “You’re probably just hungry is all.”
“No, it’s amazing. What’s your secret?”
“Lots of butter on the bread, and I use Swiss cheese instead of American.”
She bit into it and chewed more. “Oh. That explains it.”
She ate her sandwich and all of the soup, too. The soup was nearly as good as the grilled cheese, but not quite.
Hunter went down and made himself a sandwich and then came back, eating it and watching Kallie. Any time she needed something, he anticipated. He would get her an extra napkin, refill her glass of water, offer to make her more food.
Eventually, she had to laugh. “You don’t have to keep doing this,” she said, after he’d yet again asked her what she needed.
“Doing what?” he asked, cocking his head.
“You’re being amazing. But I don’t need you to be like this, Hunter. Is this what you think I expect from you?”
He looked surprised. “Of course not. I’m doing all of this because I want to.
I…” he hesitated and then plunged ahead. “I love you,” he said softly.
She felt as if the breath had completely gone out of her.
His dark eyes met hers and the connection was so strong, she felt like a battery getting fried by volt after volt of electricity. “Hunter…” she gasped.
“Kallie, I’ve always loved you. But I never thought I could be good enough for you. You’re sweet and innocent and perfect, and I’m…I’m a bad guy.”
“You’re not a bad guy,” he said, slowly regaining her voice.
“I am,” he said, his brow furrowed now. “At least, I was—in the past. But things are different now. I realized something about my life when you and I were apart. I realized that it’s possible to change when someone else cares enough to give themselves to you. And you did that for me. I want to be that better person for you, Kallie.”
She couldn’t believe her ears. “I love you too, Hunter.”
As the words left her mouth, she realized they were true and that deep down, she’d always known it.
Their eyes met again, and this time neither one looked away.
She felt like she was finally seeing all of him—he was allowing her to see all of him. There was a great and deep reservoir of pain in Hunter’s eyes—so much pain that for a moment, she felt she couldn’t bear to see it all.
But then she took a deep breath and smiled at him, and he smiled back. And in that moment, she realized that he also had kindness and strength, and the pain was just one part of him.
There was so much more to him than he’d ever let her know.
Hunter leaned in and began to kiss her, passionately. His lips were on fire, and his hands instantly went to hold her face, softly caressing her cheeks.
He broke from the kiss and laid his forehead against hers. “I thought I’d lost you forever,” he told her.
“You’ll always have me, as long as you want me,” she replied.
And then he was kissing her again. He was so forceful that she lost her balance, and fell back into her pillow with a tiny squeal.
“Are you okay?” he cried out. “Did I hurt you?”
Kallie laughed. “No. No, I’m fine. My equilibrium’s just a little off, I think.”
“I’ll be gentle,” he told her.
“Be yourself.”
And he was. Slowly, he undressed her. Everything he did was slow, deliberate, as if he was drinking in every curve and texture of her body. Soon, Kallie’s breasts were bare, and Hunter was delicately touching them with his fingertips. “Damn, you’re beautiful,” he said in a low, husky voice.
“I love the way you touch me and the way you talk to me,” she said.
“I want to kiss your breasts. I want to kiss every inch of you.”
“Please,” she cried out. “Touch me, Hunter.”
His hot lips were brushing her sensitive nipples and she cried out again, as she flushed with wetness between her legs, wanting him more than she could handle.
The mere touch of his lips and hands was practically enough to bring her to full orgasm, and her body shook with the wanting.
Hunter took his time.
He slid her panties down her legs, being careful with her wounded ankle. Then, he began kissing her leg, softly kissing up it.
By the time he reached her upper thigh, Kallie was panting with need and barely controlled ecstasy. “Oh, God, Hunter—I can’t---please—please I need you inside me now.”
“Soon,” he said, his voice throaty and full of his own hunger.
She reached out for him, her hands grasping his muscular shoulders, pulling him towards her.
His lips made contact with her belly, and then his tongue was flicking out, sliding up and down her lower abdomen, until he began caressing the uppermost part of her slickness with his lips and tongue.
Kallie writhed beneath him. Her hands slid into his hair, and she pulled his face in between her legs, wanting his tongue all the way inside.
He obliged, and soon he was licking her deep inside and she couldn’t resist anymore. She came, crying out so loudly that her voice nearly gave out.
The intensity of the emotion after her climax created a strange sense of joy mixed with something like nostalgia. She couldn’t even begin to describe the feeling, but it caused her to cry a little.
“Are you all right?” Hunter asked. “Did I hurt you?”
“I’m just emotional,” she said. “Maybe it’s from my head injury.” She laughed a little bit amidst the tears.
“You can cry,” he told her. “It’s all right.”
When she’d finished her light bout of tears, she began stroking Hunter’s chest as he lay against her.
“I’m taking my clothes off,” he informed her, and in moments, his shirt was off and then his jeans as well.
Soon, her hand wandered down to his thick shaft, pulling it from out of his boxers. As usual, she was overwhelmed by the size and thickness of it. “I want it in me, in my mouth, anywhere you want to put it.”
“I want you to put me in your mouth,” he said.
“Good,” she said. “But I think with my leg being hurt, you’re going to need to get on top of me instead.”
“I’m going to fuck your mouth, Kallie. Would you like that?”
His intensity was growing stronger, and she liked that. She liked Hunter when he was gentle, but she loved it when that wild part of him emerged during sex. Lying on her back, she allowed him to straddle her with his muscular legs.
Hunter’s erect cock slid quickly and effortlessly between her lips, engorging her entire mouth.
Soon he was doing as he promised—fucking her mouth. She felt like he was fucking her everywhere at once somehow. Every pleasure center was being stimulated.
“I want you to use your hand on yourself,” he told her. “Use your fingers in your pussy while I take care of your mouth.”
Slowly, she pushed her fingers into her wet slit, pushing into her canal as he went deeply into her mouth.
Hunter groaned and shook with pleasure.
He stroked himself back and forth, increasing his speed, as she increased her speed. Soon, they were both going furiously, and everything was moving at once and Kallie was losing herself in the bliss of it all.
But before she could climax once more, Hunter withdrew from her mouth.
“Open your legs for me.”
She spread her legs wide, ignoring the slight flash of discomfort in her ankle as she did so. Hunter moved down and slid his manhood along her folds, slapping the hard head of him across her opening. “Let me in,” he told her. “Spread for me.”
“I’m ready for you, Hunter. I want you so bad.”
And then he was sliding in, forcing his way in, filling her hole with every inch of himself.
She climaxed with his first thrust, and then her climax continued as he began stroking into her earnestly.
The rhythm was incredible, the way he touched her was like nothing she’d ever felt.
Somehow he was everywhere at once. His hands caressed her hips, her breasts, her legs, grabbing her buttocks firmly.
His lips kissed her neck, her nipples—sucking, insistent.
He fucked her more, he made her wet again and again—and she came again and again. Eventually, it was almost too much, too intense.
“Please come,” she told him. “I can’t take another orgasm.”
He laughed. “Okay. I can do that, Kallie. I can come now.” He stroked faster and faster, and the beast came out fully.
Somehow, he avoided her wounded head. She wasn’t sure how, because with everything they did, she should have been in pain.
But as Hunter pulled out and came all over her naked skin, her belly and breasts, she felt nothing but pure pleasure.
Even afterwards, as they lay together, holding one another and whispering their devotion and appreciation for one another, she was completely pain free.
“I think being with you is the best medicine I could have asked for,” she told him.
“And I could say the same to you, Kallie.”
She felt his heart beating in his chest as she caressed him with her hands. He was warm and strong and relaxed beside her now.
“I know how hard it’s been for you to let me in, Hunter. And I love that you did it for me.”
He sighed. “You know that I haven’t told you everything yet.”
“Yes, I know. But I trust that you’ll tell me the rest of it when you’re ready.”
“I will. Soon.” He took a deep, shaking breath. “Not now, but soon.”
“For now, you can just love me,” she told him.
