“What’s your name?” I asked.
“Kiel. I am a Hunter.”
A Hunter? Well, didn’t that just fit this superhero, hot-as-hell fantasy I had going on? Yum. “Are you hunting me?”
Please say yes. Please, please, please say yes. He could hunt me, strip me, shove me up against the wall and fuck me until I screamed. I’d never had an orgasm without my battery operated best friend. No man had touched me in five years.
Not since Wyatt. Not since the sperm donor. Being a single mother made the dating thing a real pain in the ass. I was never just on a date, I was auditioning dads, and so far, none of the men I’d met were good enough for my Wyatt. And if they were? Well, so far, none of them were interested in an instant family. I was too young, only twenty-four, and guys my age were still more worried about what kind of beer they were going to drink on Friday night than taking a four-year-old to preschool and packing lunches. I had baggage, which meant I slept alone.
Except Kiel was touching me now and I wanted more. Craved it. I ached for it.
I hadn’t had a dream this delicious since…well, ever.
He was staring at me, his fingers lingering in my hair, rubbing the strands between the pad of his thumb and first two fingers like he could taste me through his skin. He closed his eyes and I barely resisted the urge to reach up and touch his face, rub my palm over the stubble coating his chin. His lips were full and wide, and I wanted to touch those, too.
“I can’t smell you.”
That was weird. But okay. Yeah. I took a deep breath, testing the air in this weird, not real, fantasy landscape. There was nothing. Odd. “I can’t smell you either.”
His eyes opened, focused like lasers on my lips. “I want to kiss you.”
Jeez. Was this fantasy man going to get on with it or what? As sexual dreams went, this was ridiculous. I wanted him. Now. I didn’t want to talk. He didn’t need to tell me what he wanted. He could just take. Oh please, take anything he wanted.
If he didn’t get on with ravishing my body, I was going to wake up before we got to the good part. I wanted naked. Filled to bursting with an oversized cock. My body rippling in pleasure as he pumped into me harder and faster than any other man ever had.
My pussy clenched and my breath hitched. Screw this. This was my dream. I’d never been this hot for a man in real life. Never. Not once. I wasn’t going to waste it.
I lifted my hands, buried them in his silky hair and pulled him down to me. “Stop talking and get naked.”
God, I was a slut, but I wanted him. Bad. Dream man didn’t care if I was old or young, single or married, a mother or a virgin. He wasn’t going to weigh the pros and cons of fatherhood and adopting a four-year-old. If I was lucky, he was going to give me a good, hard ride and a nice memory.
Crushing my lips to his, I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his hips. His hard cock rubbed me in just the right place and I groaned, grinding against his thin black pants. I knew I was wet, so damn wet that I could smell my need drifting up between our bodies.
He was frozen under my assault and I broke the kiss, frustrated. I was going to cry. Was this just another nightmare? A new brand of torture my mind had created? Was this mommy guilt in its extreme form? Guilt for leaving my son? Guilt for taking this risk? Guilt that my son suffered and I walked away from the accident with nothing more than a few stitches?
Leaning forward, I rested my forehead against his cheek and fought back tears. What was wrong? Why wasn’t he moving? This was my dream, damn it! And in my dream, this gorgeous man would ravish me, fuck me raw, make me scream. He’d want me so badly nothing would stop him, nothing would stand in his way. He’d be the ultimate caveman and he’d think I was the most beautiful, desirable woman he’d ever seen.
I whimpered, then sighed. “Come on, dream man. Please.” I nibbled my way down his cheek to his jaw, felt the rasp of his whiskers against my lips. Frustration filled me because I couldn’t taste him. Not really. He was warm, but he wasn’t…real. I didn’t care. His hands clenching and unclenching at the small of my back felt real. His hard length rubbing my panties felt real.
“You aren’t real.” He insisted, but his hands lowered to cup my ass and I moaned as heat streaked through my body.
“Does it matter?” I kissed my way to his stubborn chin, then up to his lips. I answered for him. “It doesn’t matter.”
I knew the second I won, felt the shift in his being. His entire body moved, flowing, pure power. His muscles rippled beneath his shirt and he crushed his lips to mine, taking what I wanted so badly to give him. I opened for his kiss and his tongue found mine, plundering my mouth with a hunger so desperate it matched my own.
