Hunter’s P. O. V.

———————

Our ride to Peachvine Marques where the dinner will be hosted was a pretty long and frustrating one.

I had to make Edward drive us to the event and come back after four hours to pick us up because I really didn’t trust myself not to stop this vehicle by the roadside and try something stupid.

She’s calling for trouble on her own, how can she wear this and expect me not to strain.

I’m a full grown bloody man for fuck sake and she’s a girl with everything.

Fuck hate. The hate didn’t stop me the last time, I’m only praying it stops me now.

Fuck hormones.

Fuck women.

Fuck this stupid Gala.

Fuck everything.

I’m seated at the opposite end of the Mercedes Benz C300 I chose for the event and I loosened my bow tie to get a little cooler.

A few minutes ago, Edward said he had the air conditioner running but I don’t believe him.

” Mr McConnell?” Iris called out with a sultry voice and I will myself not to look at her.

” What?”

” This space between us, isn’t it too much? Or are you gonna hit me?”

Oh I can hit you in ways you’ll never dream.

She mocked me with my own words.

I’m starting detest her cleverness.

” Shut up Iris and keep the distance. I prefer the gap anyways ” Not because I’m uncomfortable doesn’t mean I should let her know she’s affecting me.

Let’s get this evening overwith and get her out of that dress.

The faster the better.

And I mean for her to go to her normal clothes not what y’all dirty minded folks are thinking.

” I’ll keep it then ” I could hear the smirk in her voice as she made that statement.

” We’re here” Edward announced as he pulls up to the building.

Black and white decor had filled the entire entry. From glow lights to design fabrics. Everything was stunning.

” Wow ” I heard Iris whisper as a chauffeur opened her door for her, he left it open as she stepped out.

I was about to follow her when Edward started laughing.

” What’s so funny?” My frustration didn’t need confusion as a partner.

” Hunter, your desire is obvious ” Edward said as his laughter had calmed down.

I looked down to check on myself.

No matter how attracted I was to Iris’s recent appearance she wasn’t even able to get me hard.

And I get boners by just having a glimpse of Michelle.

“What do you mean obvious? I can’t see anything”

” The way you steered clear of her like she was some flame or something ” He began chuckling again and I joined him

” Better safe than sorry Ed”

He nodded at me and I can see his smile from the rearview mirror.

” I’ll be back by midnight ” He said and I nodded to him, finally stepping out of the car.

Iris was still standing there waiting for me but her back was to me. I walked up to her side and said only three words that meant magic at that moment.

” Let’s do this ”

Iris P. O. V.

We walked into the building side by side and were greeted by a host standing by the door.

A lovely female who I would have found a little more lovely if she paid slight attention to her species and not ogle over Hunter.

I’ve honestly been witnessing all this ogle nonsense over this guy by my left.

And till today, it’s still gross.

Hunter was really enjoying the attention and who am I to interrupt his eye raping session?

So I walked away from there into the hall, they could decide to use the backroom if they want.

This was nothing compared to the outsides of this building.

It was amazing in its own delights.

Every quartered inch had a chandelier of various types and colors. Ranging from Black to white.

I’d say they took fifty shades of grey too seriously.

But the effects were amazing.

A giant disco ball stood directly in the middle of this high building.

If not I was on earth, I’d say the ball is the size of earth.

To the left was a table of exquisite wines that I can only afford if i donated my two kidneys, donated Louisa’s liver and sold of Megan’s grandma for money rituals.

And I’m talking about buying just a glass.

Whoever is hosting this party uses five dollar bills for toilet paper.

I mean, it’s really useless to him.

And to the right a round table ofsugary treats. The types and numbers of cakes here I couldn’t count. But I’m banking on leaving here with a diabetes type one.

The music being played wasn’t the usual classics of Mozart and Beethoven, it was simple blues in almost hushed tones that could give you a skin massage by just listening to it.

If heaven is described to be better than this, I’m surely not missing it.

” Really? You could have just waited for like five extra minutes ” Hunter’s voice came behind me and he sounds pissed off.

Not my problem.

” Just to be told ‘excuse us Jules, we’ll be right back’ nuh-uh.. I don’t think so. I saved you the stress” I turned to view him.

To be sincere when I first set my eyes on Hunter this evening, he basically took my breath away.

He has always been good looking in the eyes of everyone, even the days he hit me I still acknowledged that fact.

But now he’s grown older, there’s this sleek manliness aura to his presence that makes him more attractive.

His hair was gelled backwards with a single strand sticking out that fell directly below his right eye. His suit was Italian made white and black and he had a model body to make the suit appear even more perfect.

I could have been rendered speechless on my first view of him tonight but his reaction when he saw me was priceless and it took an army of self control not to laugh in his face.

” Firstly, I would never have called you Jules and second, I have intentions of seeing someone else tonight ” He smirked and walked towards me.

” Let’s meet people, the host would be here any minute ” He spared me a brief look from head to toe before taking steps further into the room.

A waiter stopped by us with a tray almost emptied of the glasses of wine and he handed Hunter one and handed mine over with a smile on his face.

I smiled back and Hunter took a grip of my wrist to drag me away.

I swatted his hand off before turning to him.

” What’s your problem?”

” Is flirting with a waiter part of your technique too?” He still had a mind towards the meeting with Bellevue. That’s interesting.

” I suppose it could ” I took a sip of my wine and he rolled his eyes before trying to take my wrist again. But I didn’t let him.

” I’d prefer no body contact tonight thank you very much ”

” And risk the person I allegedly brought here as a date flirting with every man in the room? I don’t know about you but I want this deal with Mr Reid ” He took my palm in his and I pulled it out again.

” Do I look like a female Hunter to you? I can control my libido ” I took another sip from my glass and searched the hall for other familiar faces.

He groaned beside me but not loud enough for others to hear ” I seriously wonder how my dad kept you for more than a month ”

I turned to him and gave him my most charming smile I’ve ever produced.

” Oh, I had no problems with your Dad whatsoever ” .

He was about to reply when an average heighted red haired lady placed light taps on his shoulder.

He turned around and his face brightened up like he just saw a reflection of God.

” Michelle ”

” Hey you ” She replied and threw her arms around him before trying to pull his face down to hers for a kiss I suppose.

Now that I got a look at her face, i recall it’s the girl I walked in on him with on my first night in New York.

” Michelle we’re in public ” Hunter groaned against her mouth as their faces were only inches apart.

” My dad’s not here yet” She answered flirtatiously and I think that was all Hunter needed to be won over.

He pressed his lips to hers and they began a make out session directly in front of his supposed date.

And I’m the one who could ruin his deal.

Michelle’s hands slipped to the front of his trousers and she stylishly used her hand to cup his crotch.

Talking about getting a room.

He took hold of her hand and broke the kiss while she smiled up at him sweetly.

After clearing his throat he spoke ” Maybe some other time ” And she nodded apprehensively to his suggestion.

It was only then that she saw someone by his side.

” You ” Came her warm greetings with a scowl on her face.

” Ahh… The naked one. Never hoped to see you so soon ” The least I could do was to return her kind gesture, so I lifted my glass to her and took another sip.

” What is she doing here?” She asked Hunter who was glaring at me for my greetings.

Well she started it.

” Sadly, she’s the replacement secretary my dad got for me ”

” That doesn’t still explain why this lowlife is here” She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the guy she just made out with no more than two minutes ago.

I would have said Michelle was a pretty lady but it’s a shame I don’t like her well enough to waste my complements.

” I need to talk to your Dad about the business deal and I need someone to keep records. Also bringing a date over would eliminate any suspicions of the two of us”

Yeah, because 99% of men and women in this building are blind to the make out that just took place.

His voice sounds almost like he was begging her.

Michelle said nothing more, she just stormed out of our midst with her nose up in the air.

I would have called it cute but you know why.

Hunter sighed and took a sip from his glass, then the gathering at the entrance drew our attention.

In walked a man of valor and beauty that you would be having doubts about his marital status if not for the woman on his right hand.

The man is a pure blonde but his wife is a red hair.

The two of them wore blinding smiles matched up with a tremendous attire.

In summary, they look glorious.

” Mr Reid is here” Hunter mumbled by my side.

But I think I discovered that already.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
