It’s waiting
downstairs.”
She smiled tightly. “Time to go.”
He wished he had managed that better. It
seemed like every time he was around Kali, he made stupid missteps. He should just
fuck her already and maybe he would calm down. It was because she was a newbie.
With Minx, she knew all the rules up front. She had called him master and
sucked his dick the second time he saw her at a party. It had taken no effort
at all.
He wasn’t so sure about Kali. She had
definitely gotten off on the hair pulling. But that was one tiny step away from
vanilla. She could have been imagining a house with a picket fence and two kids
the whole time. Maybe that’s what made her gasp.
What do I know what she’s thinking?
Now Kali was folded into herself like an
origami swan, giving nothing away with her slight smile as they walked
downstairs. For the first time in a long time, Hunter wasn’t sure how to move
forward with a woman. But he couldn’t let her get into that car and drive away
without having some hook in her.
He couldn’t let her get away.
“I’m sorry we were interrupted,” he
said.
“Well, now I know what kinky means,” she
said lightly.
“Hardly. That’s only the tip of the
iceberg.”
“I think the tip is all I need. I’m not
a whips and chains, black-eyeliner kind of girl, if you didn’t notice.”
He knew she was talking about Minx. “I
like that about you. Let me take you out to dinner and I’ll make it up to you.
Everything.”
He opened the front door of the building
for her, and she gave him a narrow look as she passed through. “What would your
girlfriend say about that?”
“Minx isn’t my girlfriend. Get that
right out of your head. She helps me in the studio.”
Kali glanced away. “Yes, I’m sure she
helps you.”
“She likes to be of service so she
cleans my studio when I’m too busy. But she’s more a friend than anything else.
Definitely not a girlfriend. Definitely. Not.” The car was waiting, and Kali
was walking forward, so he asked, “How about dinner on Saturday? I can pick you
up at 8.”
She didn’t answer right away. She
reached for the car door, but he got there first and opened it for her. She
stepped inside, graceful even in that.
Hunter stood there holding the door, to
make it clear he wasn’t going to close it until she answered. He was already
thinking of what he’d like to do to her on Saturday. If she let him.

Kali had never felt so torn. All she
could think about was Minx, who was everything she wasn’t—wild, edgy and free.
If Hunter dated girls like that, there was no way she could compete.
But she could still feel his hands on
her hair and his lips on her neck. She had never felt anything like it! More
like sex than real sex. She was heady from it, feeling like she could fly home.
She tried to get her mind under control,
to say no, like she knew she should.
Instead, her lips curled in a smile she
couldn’t stop. “Okay. Saturday.”
Hunter grinned down at her in triumph,
closing the door. He looked like he knew that he had won.
As the cab pulled away, Kali gave up
trying to think straight. She rubbed the back of her head where her nerves were
still thrumming.
Remembering it, a shiver went through
her.
Chapter 5
Over the next few days, Hunter worked in
the sheet metal fabrication shop on the first floor of his building creating
the twenty-four-foot long spear of the sundial and the round ball of its base.
He also thought about Kali far too much, about the way she sank into his arms,
letting him kiss her neck. The way her shirt was tight around her breasts, and
how her jeans hugged that really amazing ass. He loved butts, and if a girl
didn’t have a nice round one, it kind of ruined the whole thing for him. Selina
had a flat ass—the kind women got from years of gym-training and too much
dieting to stay thin. Kali, on the other hand, had a butt you could believe in.
