"Why'd you do it? Why'd you break up with me?" I laughed even though this was a serious question.

I couldn't keep a straight face.

He said he'd been drinking all day so I'm bound to get something out of him.

He came closer to me. "You're funny when you're drunk."

I smiled at him as he watched me. I bit my lips as I looked down at his welcoming lips.

Suddenly, he kissed me on the cheek.

"Can I do it too?" I giggled and he nodded.

I quickly kissed him on the cheek before my cheeks heated up. I felt like I was in grade school again.

It felt illegal to be kissing Hunter like this.

He suddenly stopped laughing as his coffee-colored eyes sunk into mine which was filled with desire.

"You promise you won't tell Sophia about this?" Hunter asked and I nodded vigorously.

He had no idea what he was saying.

"I promise," I whispered.

He took no time in colliding his mellow lips with mine. I gasp slightly in shock before kissing him back.

He used this opportunity to grab my waist before lifting me on top of the bar counter.

As we kissed, he stood in between my legs and trailed kisses from my mouth to my neck.

My hands traveled from his hair to his shirt before starting to unbutton it.

He immediately stopped and pulled back.

"Are you sure about this, Sophia?"

I instantly nodded before crashing my lips onto his.

...

My eyes flickered as I woke up in a familiar environment.

I quickly snapped my neck to the right to see Hunter fast asleep beside me with his heavy arm wrapped around my stomach.

I slowly looked under the sheet to find myself completely naked.

We did it, didn't we?

We slept together, only this time it wasn't a dream.

I quickly slapped myself to make sure it was real. It was.

Hunter turned and I quickly closed my eyes. He always does this, he's going to wake up soon.

What if it was a mistake and he gets upset at me? What if he only did this because he felt only last night?

"You can open your eyes, I know you're awake," his gruff, early morning voice said as he removed his arm from around my stomach.

I slowly opened my eyes as we both sat up. I played with my fingers as I yearned to hear how he felt.

He stopped me by using his hand to cover my fidgeting fingers.

He then kissed my temple before embracing me.

A smile grew on my face and my cheeks got hot. I knew that my face was probably red like a tomato right now.

I quickly jumped out the bed as my heart dropped. "Shit, Blaze!"

I fumbled around as I tried to put on my clothes which were tossed on the ground. I looked around the room before spotting President Teddy laying down in the corner.

After grabbing the bear, I ran out and drove off without saying a word to Hunter.

I drove as fast as I could; doing 60 on a 30.

I pushed the door open to see the nanny pacing back and forth.

"Thank God you're still here. I drove as fast as I could."

"I was about to report you missing, dear. You should've come home!"

"I know but I got caught up last night. Even if wanted to, I was too drunk to drive."

"You were what?" She shouted.

"I promise, this wouldn't even happen again."

"Those Internet folk were right about you."

"Excuse me?"

"You're incapable of being a good mother. Instead of being at home with your child, you lie to him and go out to clubs drinking?"

"I didn't go-"

"Rich girls like you have no idea how to raise a child. Your mother died before she could teach you; that's if she even knew."

My fingers rolled into fists at the mention of my mother.

"Don't get disrespectful, now."

"I can be as disrespectful as I want because I'm putting in a notice for my resignation!"

"It's best that you give the boy to someone who can take care of him and not use him as some toy you can play with whenever you want to play mommy. Your husband must be so ashamed of you."

My heart broke as she said such things about me.

"I'll be sure to tell the world that they were completely right about you."

I was about to cry but then suddenly remembered who I was. I quickly grabbed her hand as she was about to walk out.

"Threaten me again and it'll be the last thing you do. You can't give me notice because you're now fired!"

Fear immediately appeared in her eyes as she realized that this would be the end of her career.
