Hunter(Zeus's Pack 5)(37)

Quinn stroked his orgasm past Tristan’s lips, a guttural cry leaving his lips. Quinn pulled his softening cock from Tristan’s mouth, dropping to his knees and pushing Tristan back, taking Tristan’s weeping prick into his mouth. Tristan’s lips parted, and quick bursts of breath escaped as he reached behind him and locked his fingers together behind Hunter’s neck.

Tristan looked up at Hunter. His mate stared down at him with hooded eyes. “Did it taste good?” Hunter teased.

“Mmm-hmm.” Tristan bent his head back, kissing Hunter as Hunter fucked him and Quinn tried to suck Tristan’s cock off. Tristan broke the kiss, making eye contact with Hunter. “I love you, Hunter.”

Hunter growled, biting Tristan’s neck as he pistoned into him. Tristan arched his back, his hands coming down onto Quinn’s head as his cum spurted out to the beat of his pulse.

Hunter sealed the wound and fell onto his back, snapping his hips as he shot his release into Tristan’s ass. Tristan fell forward, resting on Quinn as he got his breathing under control. Hunter hadn’t said he loved Tristan. What did that mean?

Hunter unlocked the hardware store and stepped inside the cool shop. He set the keys on the counter, checking his answering machine for messages. His mind swam around Tristan’s declaration. Why hadn’t he said it back? There was no doubt Hunter loved him. So what was with the tight lips, and why did his brain take a dump when the words tried to form?

Hunter looked up when his deliveryman came in. “Hey, Hunter, I have your orders on my truck. Do you want me to bring them through the front or through the back?”

“The back. That way they’re not in everyone’s way.”

“You got it.” Logan nodded at Hunter and then walked back out of the front door. Inventory should occupy his mind for a while, stopping him from overanalyzing his chicken ways.

Hunter went to the back, opening the door for Logan. “Just set the stuff over there and come see me with the paperwork when you’re done.”

“Not a prob, Hunter.”

He smiled at Logan and then walked back to the front of the store, grabbing his list of deliveries for the week. A few of the ranches needed hardware delivered over the next few days. Maybe he needed to hire an assistant. He didn’t mind locking up when lust made him run out of here with papers flying behind him, but taking some of the pressure off of his shoulders would be nice.

A few phone calls and some flyers should do the trick. Word of mouth was quicker than the daily paper.

Hunter glanced up when he heard the door open. A stranger walked in, looking around the store, and then his eyes settled on Hunter.

“So, you’re one of the men Tristan left me for?”

Hunter’s eyes narrowed. Xavier.





Chapter Nine



Tristan joined Jasper and Sidney in the living room. “I’m ready.”

“Love that outfit, Tristan.” Jasper pulled on the end of Tristan’s shirt. “I’ve never seen that color of burnt orange matched with magenta before.”

“Are you making fun of me?” Tristan looked down at his button-down shirt and Speedo. What was wrong with them? He knew he had a unique taste in fashion. He liked creating his own styles. Why did everyone have to make a comment about it, though?

“Not at all, I like people who don’t dress to impress.”

Tristan wasn’t sure if Jasper was being honest or teasing him. The man seemed like a nice enough guy. A little strange, but nice. He decided to believe that Jasper was being honest with him. A lot of the wolves around here were very friendly. So maybe Jasper was as well.

“Can we go to bingo now?” Sidney whined as he started toward the door. “I’m going through withdrawals the longer we stand here.”

Sammy, Knox and Trevor’s mate, rolled his eyes as he walked out of the living room, mumbling something about running as soon as Sidney started his stuff at the bingo hall.

Jasper chuckled as he stepped closer to Tristan. “Just a warning. If Sidney starts getting overly excited, get away from him as quickly as possible. You don’t want to get caught in the crossfire.”

Just what kind of bingo hall were they taking him to?

Sully jogged out into the backyard, catching up to Zeus and his mate, Toby. “I just got a call from Theo. One of his waiters saw a truck abandoned close to our house. Theo said Benny was going on and on about seeing a man walking into the woods with a rifle in his hand.”

“Did he give you a description of this guy?” Zeus asked, his eyes becoming flat, hard, and passionless as he grabbed his mate’s hands and rushed back toward the house.
