I broke down in tears while we walked towards the cars where everyone was waiting. I couldn't stop my tears from running down my cheeks. " Eve "I turned to him as he stopped me by my hand. He shocked me when his arms wrap around my shoulder and pushed me to his chest.

I just wanted to live my life the way I wanted. One mistake in trusting the wrong person and suddenly I am on the run for my life. I regret ever going there. I regret meeting Aaron. And I know for sure he has been searching for me till now. I don't know what I would do if Hunter had not been here, They would've followed us home.

"Calm down, "He said and I nodded wiping my tears pushing myself a little back. I heard Hunter's cell ringing.

" Hey, Ya she is. You go ahead We'll be behind you " He said grabbing my hand. I bite my lip and stare at our hands. My neck suddenly felt warm. He opened the car door for me and I got in muttering a thank you.

" Thanks for what you did, " I said, He just sat there with hands on the wheel. " Fuck, We should've reported them " I look at him. " No, I -I rather not. They didn't hurt me " He looked at me. I knew he was pissed. " I am sorry " I apologize with no reason at all . " why ?"I look away.

" Eve " He called.

I sigh looking at him and suddenly we were so quiet, I felt my heartbeat when he leaned in. I waited, fist my hand as he took mine in his and just stared at it.

When I bit my lip looking at our hands he leans closer and kissed me. I could taste him, His lips we so soft, so warm. When he gently took my cheek in his hand and pulled away kissing me again. He kissed my upper up and tilted my head to kiss my lower lip.

My hands rested over his shoulder and he pulled away making me take my hands off. But it was just a matter of seconds when he picked me from the seat and settled me over his lap.

I gasp softly as he kissed me deeply. I felt his tongue in my mouth. And when He pulled back I felt his hand over my waist and other on my jaw.

My lady bit's were throbbing as I sat over him.

He gave my cheek a kiss and leaned back taking his hand off my waist and resting them over my thigh. I could feel the heat inside me. I wanted more but I hold myself. His face was neutral as always maybe just a little more different, he seemed so much more attractive the way he looked at me gave me chills down my thighs.

"I -I thought you hated me, " I said leaning in and resting my face over his shoulder intending to hide my blushing face, " No, I don't " I feel him grab my waist and I pull away slowly reaching my hands to his face. My fingers stop on his beard and I just observed him.

He was quite but he seemed to be trying to say something. " Umm - We should get going, probably," I said and he nodded, helping me in my seat and starting the car and took off to the road.'

"Where were you two? We waited for thirty minutes "

I bite my lip as Hunter pulled a chair and sat beside Sofia, "She wanted something last-minute " He said I blush nodded and giving a fake smile. He looked at me and pushed the chair beside him back for me. I sat down drinking water.

I smile at Tyler but this time he only smiles lightly and went back to his cell phone, I frown, "We ordered the food before you two if that's fine. Pasta and Pizza " Sofia said. "Eve do you want something else? "I shook my head, " I'm fine thank you " I reply.

I see the waiter come over at the signal of Hunter, " What you wanna drink ?" He asked looking at me and I was caught in a little brain lag moment, " Um -" I took quite a time then Hunter replied for me ordering two beer bottles. Although I wasn't in a mood to have a beer I did not deny.

When The food came we dug in, casually chatting I was asked a question while I had a piece of the pizza, " Eve sweetie why are your cheeks so red ?" I hummed in question pressing my busy hand on my cheek accidentally getting some ketchup on me. I pull my hand back jumping making everyone laugh. "It's true red now " Said, Olivia.

I laugh nervously and scramble to find a tissue when it was flicked in front 0f me by Hunter, I looked at him and grabbed it dabbing my cheek. " Excuse me," I said chuckling softly.

When I clean my face I stare at my face. I had not noticed a dark spot sticking from the very corner of my neck and gasp touching. Surely I would've known if he had given me one of those. I bite my lip. My neck and cheeks were red. I sigh stepping out of the ladies' room.

We were all done, Ace and Frank paid for the dinner. I made my way to the door and suddenly the handle was groped by someone pulling it. Hunter waited for me to walk, as I did I thanked him.

I was sleepy and Tired but Sofia and Thea insisted they buy everyone someone ice cream. This time Tyler came in Hunter's car with me.

When we reached the ice cream parlor I sat down while everyone chose their flavor. When Olivia and Ace came sat next to me a cup of chocolate ice cream was slipped in front of me by Hunter as he casually pulled a seat next to me and sat down. " Oh, Thanks, " I said a bit happy and shocked.

His warmness floats around me every time he is near me.

I bite my lip having some bites, by my fifth bite he was already down with his two scoops of vanilla and chocolate. When I kept my ice cream down he scooped the remaining ice cream from my cup.

Just like the other day.

"Tyler ?" I called as he walked towards Ace's car. He looked back a smiled. " I am gonna go with them. See you tomorrow Eve " He said. I could see it was a sad smile but I didn't question him further about it.

"Eve " Hunter called me from behind. He had his car door open for me to get in. I look back at Tyler who clearly seemed a bit sad and then walked back to Hunter's car.

I blush as soon as I got in. Hunter's aura was domineering. However not in a bad way just made me feel intimidated and sensitive. " Are you alright ?" I turn to him and lick my lip, " I'm fine, are you - you don't regret it, do you ?" I ask.

I did not expect the sudden stop of the car. When he turned to me looked away then looked back at him. With his hand over my shoulder and his other hand on my cheek her kissed my lips ever so softly again, I moan softly as he gave my upper lip a rough bite the pulled away making me hide my face in his neck.

" Does it answer your questions, Eve ?" I nodded, He hummed pulling away.

When I entered my room and sat on the bed, the reality of my situation crashed me. Aaron had an idea where I would be. Staying with them is my best option for now. I will have to let them know about him.

I cannot run this time, I was sick of it.

"Eve it can you go get some cheery tomatoes? And maybe some mint? Also, some rosemary " I nod, keeping the half-eaten cookie on a plate and taking a small basket, " Oh, I saw some peas ready yesterday you wanna add them for dinner? "

"Ya sure." She said while making some sauce for the lunch, I walked out getting some tomatoes and mint. Taking my time in observing the growing tomatoes and when I stand up turning around I gasp stepping back as I see Hunter standing right behind me. I rest my hand on my chest to somehow to comfort my nerves, his eyes suddenly directed to my chest.

He looked up.

" Did I scare you?" I shook my head softly pursing my lips keeping the basket tight in my hands. As his eyes looked up into mine and I bite my lip.

"What are you doing here?" I ask.

"I was looking for cutting pliers" I nodded keeping my basket down and head near the back of the garden.

"Here. " I said handing them to him. When he just stood there was another second I lick my lips and think of talking about something. " Uh - anything else?" I ask, he nodded stepping closer, I leaned back a little however his lips caught mine faster.

A surprised sound came from the back of my mouth as he pulled me close.

Very Close
