Chapter 34

I didn't know if Hunter and I would still be together in six months or a year. It hurt to think about him with anyone else or us parting ways that's why as long as were together, I would treasure what we had.

"Do you have a doctorate?"I asked Hunter as we sat waiting for the food to cook.

"Yes in economics. I thought about getting a phd but only for a second until the idea of more studying made my stomach churn."Hunter replied.

The man was smart which was kind of obvious seeing as he had started his one company and it was successful.

"I'll get my masters too when I have enough money for the tuition fees."I expressed.

"I can sponsor you or help you get a scholarship if you don't want my money."Hunter replied.

"It's cute how your first reaction at any problem I have is to throw money at me."I commented with a laugh.

"It's not my fault. I care about you and I take care of people I care about."Hunter replied.

"Thank you bear. I'm okay for now and besides I want to take a break from studies first. When I'm ready to continue, I might just take you up on your offer."I said to him.

"Good. Never be afraid to ask for my help, even when we're no longer a thing. I'd be happy to help you."Hunter assured me.

I smiled gratefully at him and took a sip of my water.

Hunter was too kind and giving for his own good. He was strong and dominant but sometimes I saw hints of a man who had been broken and just needed a hug and someone to take care of him. Our deal was to take care of each other and I would do my best to be there for him. I couldn't do much for him financially as the guy had enough money and then some but I could be there for him emotionally, spiritually and definitely physically.

"Food is done and right on time because I'm famished."Hunter announced as he checked the cooking pots.

"Okay sit down, I'll serve."I directed getting off my stool.

"You do that, while I get some wine."Hunter declared spanking me lightly as he passed by me.

I giggled at how childish he could be sometimes and turned off the cooker. I served us two generous servings and realized there was enough food left over for later so I covered it carefully since all we'd have to do for dinner is reheat it.

"How about we eat outside?"Hunter suggested opening the door connecting to the backyard.

I nodded happily and started looking for a trey to carry the food in. I found one and set our food, a bottle of water and two glasses on it before following Hunter outside. The weather was nice out and perfect for a relaxing afternoon.

I set our food down on the wooden table in the patio and took a seat on the pristine sofa next to Hunter. He poured us each a glass of wine before we settled down to eat.

"Wow this is good. You're a good cook."I complimented tasting the beef stew Hunter had made.

"Right back at you doll."Hunter replied making me smile.

We didn't talk as we ate as there was no room for words when the food was so good. Hunter and I made a good team.

"I'm so stuffed, I don't think I can move."I groaned taking off my shoes to lie on the sofa after cleaning off my plate.

Hunter laughed as he sat back down having come back from the kitchen to put away our dirty plates. He lifted my head up and moved closer so that I was now lying on his lap looking up at him.

"Im full too, thank you for the meal."He smiled at me.

"Ditto."I mumbled feeling happy.

I turned around and buried my face in his stomach.

"Don't sleep, I want to talk to you."Hunter demanded.

"About what?"I asked my voice muffled by his t-shirt.

"Anything, I want to get to know you better. Let's talk family, school, future plans, anything."Hunter suggested.

"Okay."I agreed turning my head so that I was looking up at him.

He was so handsome and at the moment all mine so just as he had asked I opened up and we spent the afternoon talking and getting to know each other. We were both fully clothed, sober, with no sex involved and yet I managed to have a great time with Hunter. Maybe there was hope for us building something outside of the amazing sex we had.

Hunter and I had more differences than similarities and I found that the more I got to know him, the less I minded all that.

We would be okay, we had to be otherwise the heartbreak I would suffer would be intense since I'd already started to get attached.

Yeah I was definitely in deep no matter how much I denied it.

Being a light sleeper meant that I felt it when Hunter started shifting in bed meaning he was getting up. He kissed my forehead, removed my hands from his chest and got out of bed. He took a few minutes in the bathroom and instead of coming back to bed he left the bedroom. I didn't open my eyes or move the whole time so after waiting for a few minutes and realizing he wasn't coming back, I turned to lie on my stomach and fell back asleep. As far as I was concerned it was a Saturday, I had nowhere to go and I was in a big bed that felt like I was sleeping on clouds so there was no rush in getting up.

Sometime later my body finally decided it had enough sleep and it was time for me to get up. I turned to lie on my back and took a few minutes to wake up and adjust to my surroundings. After a quick prayer, I tossed the covers off me to reveal my naked body to the cold. Hunter and I had watched a movie in bed the previous night that led to activities that had us both sleeping naked. My body was sore and so was my pussy but it was a beautiful ache that I embraced as a reminder of how good sex with Hunter was.

I put on some panties and a white see through sleeping robe that I'd thrifted. I skipped a shower and decided to just wash my face and brush my teeth. After I was done I grabbed my phone and went in search of Hunter.
