20

The urge to pee woke me up or more like the battle between my bleeding cramping uterus and my bladder. I usually slept on my stomach but this time I found myself lying on my back and instead of a soft pillow, my head was rested on a muscled arm. Hunter was lying on his side, with his outstretched arm the one I was lying on and the other one was over my chest holding me down. I was trying really hard not to freak out that I had a man in my bed and it was working out just fine.

I slowly pried his arm off me trying not to wake him and struggled to sit up.

"Running away again?"Hunter mumbled sleepily when he felt me get out of bed.

I hadn't realized that I had woken him up but when I turned to look at him, his eyes were still closed.

"And go where? This is my place remember."I retorted sarcastically.

"Knowing you, I'm sure you'd find a place."Hunter replied.

"Shut up and sleep."I demanded softly.

"I will when you come back to bed."Hunter declared finally opening his eyes and turning so that he was now lying on his back looking at me.

I didn't say anything in reply, just grabbed a fresh pad on my way inside the bathroom. I closed the door behind me and went about my business. I washed my face and brushed my teeth while I was in there because nothing was as bad as morning breath.

I left the bathroom and ran into a very hard body. I glared up at Hunter who was smirking down at me.

"Good morning baby girl."He greeted kissing my forehead.

"Morning."I replied trying to keep my staring in his face and not on his naked chest.

"Do you have an extra toothbrush I can borrow?"He asked me.

"No but I can go buy you one."I answered.

"That's okay, I'll just use yours."Hunter said nonchalantly as if that wasn't a big deal to him.

"No you won't."I demanded.

He smiled, picked me up and turned around setting me down before getting into the bathroom. It all happened so fast I had no time to react.

"Hunter!!"I growled at the closed door.

He didn't reply just laughed at me. I wouldn't have enough time to get him a new toothbrush before he used mine so I reminded myself to buy a new one later.

While Hunter was in the bathroom I made the bed and unplugged my phone from the charge replacing it with Hunters.

It was already midday meaning we had slept for more than seven hours since we'd fallen asleep sometime before five am.

I sat on my bed checking my emails and messages as I waited for Hunter. I saw that I had a request to perform at a high end restaurant in CBD over the weekend. I responded quickly that I would be available since they were paying really well. Sometimes I said no to work if they were paying me mediocre money. I was not about to waste my time and energy performing really well only to be given peanuts. If it went really well I would be able to buy a bed the coming week. There was nothing wrong with the floor but a girl gotta upgrade sometime.

Hunters phone rang but it was in vibration mode so he didn't hear.

"Hunter your phone is ringing."I yelled at him.

"Okay, I'll be out in a second."He replied his voice muffled and I realized he was using my toothbrush in that moment.

It was very unsanitary but Hunter always did as he pleased.

I still couldn't believe that Hunter and I had slept together in my tiny house with no sex involved. It was still surreal to me but still not completely a bad thing.

"Who was calling?"Hunter asked as he came out of the bathroom.

He had washed his face so water was dripping to his chest making him look very sexy.

"I don't know, I didn't check."I choked out my eyes on a drop of water running down his chest to his happy trail.

Fuck why was I so horny?

"If they desperately need me, they'll call again."Hunter said getting on the bed next to me.

"It's a Tuesday, shouldn't you be at work?"I recalled.

"Yes and technically I am. I'm supposed to be on my way to Nyanza right now for a conference."Hunter informed me.

"And you're here sleeping on the floor with me?"I teased him.

"Yes and its the better option."Hunter grinned looking proud of himself.

"Seriously I didn't want you to get in trouble at work because of me."I reasoned.

"Baby I can't get in trouble, I'm the boss."Hunter assured me.

"And what is it that you do exactly?"I asked realizing I had no idea what Hunter did for a living.

"I'm the Founder and CEO of Apex Financing ."He replied cooly as if he was telling me about the weather.

"The money rendering corporation?"I inquired in shock.

"The very one."Hunter affirmed.

"So you really are rich rich."I choked out in a whisper.

Unfortunately I wasn't quiet enough because Hunter heard me.

"Seriously the money thing again?"Hunter groaned.

"It will always be about the money."I mumbled.

"You know most girls would be lucky to be chased around by a rich famous guy."Hunter reasoned.

"Definitely yes but I am not like most girls."I retorted with an eye roll.

"No you're definitely not, thus why I am here. I wouldn't be if you weren't unique baby girl."Hunter declared pulling me into his lap so that he was holding me like a baby.

He looked at me with a strange expression on his face before leaning is as if he was about to kiss me. I moved my face just in time for him to get my cheek instead.

"We were supposed to talk."I reminded him when I saw the glare on his face.

"Okay fine, talk it is. Why did you run away that morning?"Hunter asked me getting straight to the point.

"Because I don't want to be in a relationship which is exactly what you want."I answered him honestly.

"So you're not interested in me?"Hunter asked looking hurt.

The conversation was getting serious which was the original intention so I got out his arms and sat cross legged infront of him. He didn't like that but he didn't protest either.

"I am, I just don't want to date you."I informed Hunter.

"Why? Is there someone else?"Hunter insisted with a jealous expression on his face.

It was cute but definitely misplaced.

"No there is no one else. I don't want to date because I can't be tied down again."I explained.

"Tied down? What do you mean? I'd never tie you down."Hunter replied sounding so sure of himself.

"Yes you would. Right now you want me to become your girlfriend. Soon enough you'd propose, we'd get married and then you'll ask for a couple of kids. That's the definition of tying me down. I want my freedom Hunter. I feel like I haven't lived. I mean I'm twenty two years old and the first time I got drunk my birthday weekend with you, yet I've been to university for four years."I expounded hoping he would understand me.

"That doesn't mean anything except that you have strong morals."Hunter argued.

"Yes and it also shows that I can follow the rules. You are so easy to love Hunter because you're perfect and everything a girl could want. All relationships come with rules and if I date you I'll have to conform to your rules and I've honestly had enough rule following for a while with school, my dad and societal expectations of a first born daughter. I just want to be free to make my own choices for now. I want to enjoy being a single lady without fearing that my actions and choices might be hurting someone. You're also insanely rich and famous, definitely out of my league. We live in such different worlds. I'm the girl who licks a yoghurt container to get my worth of every cent I spend while you are the kind of guy who probably doesn't eat left overs."I expressed.

I had never been honest with anyone about how I truly felt but Hunter deserved it. He had been upfront with what he wanted from me and I needed to make him understand what I couldn't be his.

"I can eat left overs."Hunter grumbled making me smile.

"No you can't. Look bear, you are an awesome guy. Every girls dream and any girl would be lucky to have you. Just not this girl. I'm not saying this to be mean, I just want to be honest and for you to understand me."I pleaded with him.

Hunter looked at me with a sad smile and I could tell when his resolve broke because his shoulders sagged.

"And I do. This proves just how great you are. It makes me want you more but I can't force you to be with me or to like me."Hunter conceded looking defeated.

"I do like you, I wouldn't have had sex with you if I didn't like you. I just don't want to be in a relationship with you or anyone else for that matter."I confessed.

Hunter gave me one longing look before he sighed and leaned in to kiss my forehead. His lips lingered for a minute then he pulled back and looked at me with a sadly.

"Thank you for being honest with me baby girl. It's more than anyone has ever done for me."He expressed.

I didn't know what to say to that so I just scooted onto his lap and hugged him. Hunter hugged me back and buried his face in my neck.

I really wished I was in the right head space to date Hunter. He was the right guy but he had come at the wrong time. Maybe in another life or when the stars aligned for us.

My stomach chose that moment to rumble and I pulled back embarrassed. Hunter chuckled and kissed my cheek.

"I guess that's my sign to feed you. How about I take you out for lunch? Our last meal together."He proposed his tone getting sad there for a moment.

I almost said no but then I realized that I'd just broken the guys heart, the least I could do is share a meal with him.

"Okay but I want pizza. It's terrific Tuesday so they have a double offer."I accepted.

"Pizza it is. I need to take a shower first though. Since I'm already behind schedule I'll have to fly to Nyanza instead of driving there so I'll go to the airport directly after lunch."Hunter informed me.

"That's okay."I replied knowing I at least owed him that.

"Wanna join me?"Hunter teased with a sexy smile.

"Tempting but no, I'm on my period."I replied with a pout.

"That's no issue for me. Come on."He declared getting up and pulling me up with him.

"Hunter I am not showering with you while on my period."I scolded him.

"Yes you are. We're saving water and time."He assured me leaning down and capturing my lips in a kiss swallowing the rest of my protests.

I was extremely horny but sex on my period is not something I had ever considered. Hunter didn't give me time to back out because he hoisted me up into his arms and carried me into the bathroom closing the door behind us. It was a tight squeeze, extremely tight but Hunter didn't seem to mind.

"Okay fine, I'll shower with you, just please set me down and turn around."I begged him realizing I had no way out.

Hunter kissed my nose and did exactly as I asked. As soon as he wasn't looking I put on a shower cap and took off my clothes. I removed my pad, folded it carefully and put it in the small bin next to my toilet.

Instead of telling Hunter I was done, I turned on the shower and drenched us both. Hunter gasped since the water was cold and turned to me with a playful glare.

"No hot water sorry."I apologized with a shrug.

"That okay, you can warm me up."He declared pulling me into his arms and kissing me once again.

His kiss was sexy, dominating and everything I would miss. This was a goodbye fuck and we both knew it.

Hunter pulled back just long enough to taken off his wet boxers and pull me into his arms once again. He picked me up and had me wrap my legs around his waist as he pushed me against the wall.

"I am surely going to miss you baby girl."He confessed looking into my eyes.

"I'll miss you too."I replied being honest with him.

He caressed my face, as if trying to engrave each dip and curve into his memory. Finally I had enough and kissed him, slow and soft cupping his face into my hands.

"Ready?"Hunter rasped out rubbing the head of his cock against my sensitive pussy.

"Yes."I assured him.
