His territory

The blue eyed brunette sat in the car unmoving as her cousin unloaded their bags from the trunk. Crystal's mind was momentarily shut down as she watched Hunter slowly walk down the steps to help Sakura with the bags.

The universe really did have something against her huh?

"Crystal, get outta there!" Sakura's voice snaps the brunette out of her thoughts as she peeked at the couple through the window, currently staring at her.

Sakura with a bemused expression and Hunter with an amused one.

"Do I have to?" Crystal whines as the blonde narrows her brown eyes at her.

"Yes" Sakura snaps and that was Crystal's queue to get out of the car before she upsets the blonde even further. Sulking, she opens the car door stepping down from it. Hunter was now already making his way into his fancy condo with their bags which calmed her down a little for the time being.

"Common let's go. We haven't even taken our baths yet" Sakura scrunches up her nose at the thought of the both of them still unclean. She turns to start heading towards the front door when Crystal grabs her arm catching her attention.

"Umm... How long are we going to be here?" Crystal asks hesitantly. Her heart dropping even more when Sakura suddenly wraps her arms around her waist with a grin pulling her along towards the front door.

"Maybe a week. Maybe a month. I don't know. Just... Until I'm ready to go back home" Sakura grins suddenly noticing the look of horror on the younger girl's face. "That doesn't bother you does it?".

Crystal looks up at her cousin, the urge to scream 'yes it does!" right at the tip of her tongue but painfully resists it by shaking her head with a fake smile. Sakura smiles back as the two finally step inside.

Hunter shows both girls to their rooms. Sakura's was right next to Hunter's and Crystal's was right across from his.

Crystal looks around the relatively large room. It wasn't as big as the one as Sakura's but at the same time it wasn't small either. Her bag was already placed on her bed and all she had to do was start unpacking and settle in. Just then, there's a knock on her door and the person doesn't even wait for her to answer but opens the door right after. Hunter. Of course it was him.

He steps into the room, a grin stretching on his lips when he catches sight of the small brunette standing in the middle of the room with a toothbrush and toothpaste in her hands. Crystal rolls her eyes, proceeding to pick up the bathrobe on her bed before turning again to face him with an annoyed look. Which of course Hunter found was cute.

"Umm... Come in I guess" she states sarcastically eying the man in irritation.

Hunter looked so good in the morning even though she was sure he'd already taken his bath unlike her. His curly hair was messier that it usually was which meant he hadn't bothered to style it today since it was a Sunday. He large muscular arms were exposed as he was wearing a tank top and Crystal couldn't help but let her eyes wonder along his toned biceps. Luckily she catches herself before he does. Or maybe he just pretended not to notice.

"Soo..." Crystal starts still unsure of why the black haired man was just standing there staring at her as if mesmerized, "can I help you? I was about to go take a bath".

Hunter doesn't answer right away, simply just standing there as he took in the cute yet alluring girl standing in front of him. It took everything in him not to actually walk up to her and give in to his desires. Devouring her whole and claim her over and over again until she realized she belonged to him. But he knew he had to wait as he didn't want to scare her even more than he already had. She was still weary of him from the way she spoke to him as well as her body language even though she didn't show it. So baby steps...

"Hunter?" Crystal calls out again tilting her head. Her innocent blue eyes timid and shy, blinking up at him that he had to swallow and try to remain composed.

Crystal however was having her own internal turmoil. This was a man that killed as if it was the most normal thing to do. She might have acted calm about it on the outside but God knows she was terribly disturbed and terrified about it in the inside. Yesterday night when he had called, she didn't really think much of it as it was just through the phone and he wasn't in any way close. But right now, he was standing right in front of her just a few feet away and she couldn't help the anxiety twisting her insides.

"Breakfast is ready downstairs when you're done" he simply stated before turning around to walk out of the room. Crystal stood there staring at the closed door finally able to breath again.

That was all? He just wanted to tell her that breakfast was ready but just stood there staring at her like she was the meal?

If it were any other person, she would've found it extremely strange and weird. But this was Hunter. The guy was obviously sick in the head so she wasn't surprised that he'd do such a thing.

Walking into the bathroom, Crystal strips out of her clothes getting into the warm bath she had already prepared for her self. She rests her head back releasing a content sigh at the feeling of the warm water relaxing her tense muscles.

After breakfast, Crystal went back up to her room as she didn't want to be anywhere near the killer that was her cousin's boyfriend downstairs. She could just report him to the police, but she didn't have any proof. And on top of that, her cousin would absolutely hate her and Hunter might even harm her for trying to rat him out. Which would ruin the already ruined vacation even further.

So for now she'd just live in peace until it was time for her to return back to New York and be away from all this drama. She just had to hold on.

There's a knock on the door and it opens right before she could answer just like with Hunter earlier this morning. But this time, it was Sakura instead. Like girlfriend like boyfriend.

She wasn't exactly sure who rubbed off on who though.

"Hey, what's up?" Sakura asks with a grin as Crystal shrugs from where she was laying. She was laying on her bed stomach in bed, phone in hand watching YouTube videos.

"Nothing. Why?" Crystal asks curiously as the blonde enters the room completely.

"Hunter and I are watching a horror movie downstairs. I know how much you love them so wanna watch them with us?" Sakura asks coming to sit in the bed next to the brunette.

It was true, where most girls were often into romance and all that stuff. Crystal was more into action and horror.

But right now she wasn't sure if watching a movie with the couple was such a good idea. Especially since one of them was very much interested in her.

"Crystal?" Sakura calls out catching the brunette's attention.

But then again, nothing could happen right? Sakura would be there the whole time. He possibly couldn't do anything. Right?

"Ohhh!!! Oh shit! I did not see that coming!" Sakura exclaims clutching onto Hunter's arm as she screamed at yet another jump scare.

Crystal however had watched so many horror movies that she was so used to such things. So all she could do was cackle evilly at her cousin.

"How are you laughing at this Crystal. It's so damn scary!" Sakura complains pointing at the TV with an accusing finger.

"It doesn't take a genius to know that I'm actually laughing at you miss brave and strong" Crystal smirks as Sakura flips her off.

Hunter hadn't said anything since the movie started. In fact, he hadn't even glanced Crystal's way at all since she came down and she wasn't sure how to feel about that. She had mixed feelings actually.

She was glad he hadn't acknowledged her at all which meant Sakura wouldn't suspect anything at all.

But at the same time she couldn't help but feel hurt at the way he completely ignored her as if she didn't exist.

A soft moan catches Crystal's attention and she turns to see the couple heavily making out in the couch next to hers. A feeling of anger and disgust settles in the pit of her stomach as she watched Hunter roughly devour her cousin right in front of her. She turns away blinking away the tears that prick her eyes.

"Could you guys please... Not do that in front of me?" Crystal whispers still looking at the TV not really knowing what was going on in the movie anymore. She wasn't sure how watching a horror movie triggered such a thing between the two. But one thing she sure of was the green thing rearing it's head within her. Jealousy.

Sakura giggles pushing Hunter off as her boyfriend simply stands up carrying the giggling blonde bridal style.

Crystal watches as Hunter carries his girlfriend up the stairs kissing her now and then as he went up. She feels her throat tighten, the feeling of jealousy almost unbearable as it ate at her insides.

She was confused and emotionally drained. Hunter had been showing her mixed signals ever since they'd met. Showing her affection one moment and then being all over his girlfriend the next. She wasn't sure how much more of that she could take because as of now, all she wanted to do was just pack up and go back home.

She was tired.

She knew what she was getting herself into when she finally admitted it to herself that she was falling for him. And now she's paying for it dearly. What a holiday!

An hour passes and the movie finally comes to an end. Turning the TV off, she sighs in relief that they had finished what ever it was they were doing upstairs. Because half way through the movie, she had to turn up the volume so she didn't have to hear the continues banging, as well as her cousin's mewls, as well as Hunter's deep groans.

Ew.

Standing up, she stretches her muscles. Checking the digital clock hung on the wall for the time. 11:47pm.

That late already?

Sighing, the brunette makes her way to the kitchen for a small light snack before bed. During breakfast earlier Hunter did tell them to help themselves to anything in the kitchen. And that was exactly what she was going to do.

Spotting a small juice box in the fridge, she reaches for it. Along with two sticks of fruit kabobs.

Crystal sits herself on the island as she dug into her little snack. Enjoying the silence as she did so. Though the moment is disrupted when a certain golden eyed man clears his throat catching her attention. Crystal sighs in irritation hanging her head low as if in defeat. Her blue eyes look up at him lazily.

"Can I help you Hunter?" She says carefully as he walks into the kitchen silently, taking a seat across from her. His hair was even messier than it was this morning but he still managed to pull it off. His was wearing a gray tank top unlike the black one he wore this morning and Crystal could see the scratches and hickeys that were littered all over his neck and shoulders. No doubt his back was worse.

"Enjoying yourself?" He speaks eyeing the half eaten fruit kabob in her hand. Crystal shrugs sipping on her juice box.

"Yeah. That is until you came" she answers nonchalantly unaware of the scowl that takes over Hunter's features. "How about you? Enjoyed yourself? It's obvious you did" she spits out coldly making him raise his brow.

"Am I not allowed to enjoy my own girlfriend?" He asks matching her tone as the brunette rolls her eyes.

"Did I say that?! Stop putting words in my mouth Hunter. I was just saying what I observed" it was obvious that the girl was jealous but didn't want to admit it. And that only amused Hunter as he found it cute that she was trying to hide that jealousy by being mean.

Guess it was time to play a little game with her.

Getting up from his seat, Hunter makes his way over to the fuming girl right across as she angrily munched on the fruit in her mouth. She doesn't even realize it when he snatches the stick holding the last piece of fruit from her hand. Crystal looks at him in shock as he turns her seat around to face him. He steps in between her legs fighting back the smirk that was threatening his lips at the way her blue eyes widen flabbergasted.

"Did you wish it was you bunny?" He asks, placing his hand on the island on either side of her. The brunette's breath hitches at the closeness of his body. Completely forgetting how to breath when he leans down so his lips brush against her neck making the girl gasp at the sudden action. His lips softly kiss from her ear, slowly trailing down her neck to her shoulder blade.

"Are you jealous it was her and not you instead?" Hunter whispers against the blushing girl's neck. Pulling away a little to look her in the eye. She's tempted to say yes. But of course she wouldn't.

Hunter pulls away completely but still stands between her legs. He slides the last fruit off the stick. A piece of pineapple. Sliding the fruit into his mouth seductively as Crystal watches with heavy eye lids. Lips parting as she suddenly finds the fruit more tempting to eat for some reason. Hunter smirks at the game he was currently winning.

If him chasing her wasn't going to work, then he was going to make her chase him instead. With the art of seduction.

He brings half of the fruit to her lips, glossing the juice over her lips as if he was applying lip gloss to her lips. Crystal watches the movement of his fingers with blushed cheeks. Her heavy breathing being the only sound in the very quiet kitchen.

He pulls the fruit away, leaning in slowly and Crystal closes her eyes as she waited for his red lips to land on hers. But her eyes open when she feels his warm tongue hungrily lick off the pineapple juice from her lips. His lips brushing against hers only teasing the girl even further.

Hunter feels his ego growing even further when the girl let's out a pleading whimper when he pulls away. His thumb draws down her lower lip, licking his as Crystal's heart pounded in her chest in anticipation. Her eyes falling shut again when he leans in. But she's once again disappointed when slides the pineapple into her mouth.

"Well it's too bad. I can't cheat on my girlfriend. That's evil. Isn't it bunny?" He smirks, amused at the pissed expression on her face. "You did say I should leave you alone. And I'm going to do exactly just that".

Crystal flabbergasted, hits his chest, proceeding to shove him but he barely even moves from his spot. She shrieks out loudly, cheeks red with both embarrassment and anger as she glares up at him.

Hunter's smirk falls as he stared at her darkly, grabbing her chin. "Watch what you do to me little girl" he leans closer maintaining the eye contact.

"You're in my territory"
