in them before she focused and came fully awake. It was beyond sexy to me.
She smiled and said, “Good morning.” Looking around and inhaling deeply, taking air in through her nose and mouth, tasting and smelling the morning like she always did. “Sorry, we fell asleep on the couch again.” Liar, she wasn't sorry at all, I could feel her fingers lightly brushing my belly over my shirt.
I smiled and was about to get up when she almost delicately started moving her jaw toward the top of my head. I made an exasperated hiss as I came to a decision. I pulled back before she could rub her jaw on me and said in a perturbed manner, “If you are going to lay claim to me, at least do it right, Red!”
And I leaned up and captured her lips with mine. Good lord they were hot and soft and... hungry. I felt my toes curling and then pulled back with a smile I tried to hide away. She looked stunned for a moment then the corners of her mouth turned up into a gleeful smile as her eyes sparkled, and I swear to God she growled in satisfaction, the tremors from the low sound vibrating into my soul.
She leaned down again just to meet my finger I pressed against her lips to stop her, even though, my body was on fire. I doubt I had ever been that aroused in my entire life. Something about her was just so... exciting, in a primal way. I smirked. “After the negotiations are over. You've just been driving me insane with your scent marking.”
She exhaled almost explosively, nodded, but then smiled and hopped up from behind me far too gracefully for a human. She took a couple slow steps toward the bathroom, her eyes flickering between me and the hall and said, “I need a cold shower then.” I realized she was angling to get to the bathroom before me. I started to jump up but then she was gone almost faster than my eyes could follow as she giggled. I heard the bathroom door shut and lock.
I rolled my eyes. Damn it, for not being a girly girl, she took forever to get ready in the morning. She always spent close to twenty minutes in the shower. She says she loves the feel of flowing water. Then I exhaled and fanned the excess heat from my face. That one kiss almost did me in. It took all my self-control to stop us before we... well... you know.
I took a moment to think about what I was doing. I tried to stay out of relationships, they could only end badly, but I had never had the same physical and emotional reactions I have with her. This could never work out, she was a Hunter, she went where the wolves were.
Part of me realized that if her suspicions were correct, if Marcus were involved and she could kill him. The lycan curse would be destroyed. It would be a different world with no werewolves. A world that didn't need Hunters. A world where only I would need the sexy Red Hood. Maybe she could stay in Seattle then.
I shook these thoughts from my head and muttered, “Getting way ahead of yourself McQueen... take it one day at a time.”
After we were ready for the day and ate breakfast, I cocked my head at her. Our eyes hadn't left each others the entire morning like we were circling each other in a great dance. I asked something I had been curious about, “Why do you wear the red cloak even when there is no full moon?”
She shrugged and furrowed her brow in thought. “I don't know. It is like a part of me. Part of my identity.” She nudged her chin at me. “Why do you wear your gun in the shoulder holster as soon as you get dressed?”
I looked down at my blouse with the shoulder holster strapped over it, my nine mil tucked into it. “Huh.”
She smiled and stepped away from me as I pulled up my cell phone as she teased, “Yeah, huh.” I looked at her and then my phone and smiled. She was always considerate about that around me, whenever I was using any kind of electronics she gave me an eight to ten foot buffer. If she stood behind me, then all I
