The Hunter's Bargain

3.

❝You can even have your own pup after I am done with you,❞

-HER-

“Jane…” He spoke. His deep and gruff voice was very masculine and powerful. It had that strange aura to it that could easily demand everyone’s attention by making them feel the power of the speaker. 

Hearing my name woven into his deep voice gave me butterflies even after knowing that he was the most dangerous man in these woods and that he had murdered a lot of innocents and now he held captive a very defenseless pup from my pack.

“What brought you here?” He asked me very grimly while the intensity of his eyes further increased, fuelling the lust inside me.  

I was finding it hard to think straight with my wolf already lusting over him. Had I met him in some other situation, I would have marked him instantly because I’ve been waiting for a mate for so long now. 

Although, I couldn’t start to imagine why I had been paired with a hunter because I hated hunted very much- especially this Arch hunter. He had brought so much pain to my kind and the others living in the wilderness. Just because we lived in the wild didn’t mean that our lives were less valuable than the people living in his town. 

He was a very bad guy given what he did for a living but all this didn’t seem to matter to my wolf. She already wanted to jump him.

He was towering over me so I had to tilt my head back slightly to look at him properly. Being so close to him, I could smell him much more properly. Along with the scent of cigar and that musky scent of his, the very rusty scent of blood was woven as well. Although it was very faint but still it influenced his overall scent and the vibes that I got from him. 

“I want the wolf pup that you have captured today,” I told him while trying my best to sound serious because my mind had already betrayed me. I was fighting very hard to not look down and ogle at his sexy body. His shirt was like a second skin to him and it stuck to his muscles and defined them very well.

He c****d one of his eyebrows at me before asking heatedly, “And why do you think I will give it to you?” Meanwhile, he put his hand behind me on the door and leaned so close to me that I could feel his body heat. It wasn’t helping me concentrate at all.

“I have a good price for that pup,” I told him, tilting my chin slightly high in order to make myself seem more convincing. If anything, the heat in his eyes increased, making my heart race faster. 

“Look around this office, Jane. Do you think I would give a damn about a few hundred dollars?” He asked me huskily while I felt him reach inside my coat pocket and pull out a couple of hundred-dollar bills.

The gravity of the situation finally dawned upon me after hearing his words. I was now very much aware of the situation I had gotten myself into. I was in very deep trouble and so far I couldn’t see any way out of it.

“Let’s see what else do you have to offer in exchange for the pup,” He muttered under his breath before he slowly unbuttoned my coat and reached inside it while I was left standing there, enjoying his touch and closeness while my mind decided to abandon rationality for once. 

I let out a shaky breath as he ran the back of his fingers over my neck, leaving a trail of sparks. He looked a bit surprised because I knew he could feel them too but nonetheless, his hand traveled down to my bosom. Meanwhile, I felt him lean closer to me before he buried his nose in my hair to take a deep whiff of my scent.

His hand stopped just under my bosom before he held that place without any warning, making me gasp. Although, I liked it. I was enjoying it so much that I had started to forget what had brought me there in the first place.

“You know what?” He spoke lowly in my ear before he slightly nibbled at my earlobe. My chest was already flooded by lust that easily earned the line separating right and wrong. I was so close to losing control over my wolf. I was starting to want him more and more. If only he was aware of what he meant to my wolf. “You can take the pup,” He told me.

“I can?” I asked as I peered into his dark brown eyes. They were simmering with lust and desire. Mine wasn’t any different.

“Yes, but here’s the bargain…” He trailed off before pressing his body flush against mine all of a sudden. I was breathing hard now, trying to keep up with my racing heart.

My back was now pressed against the door. Meanwhile, his other hand disappeared behind me to grab my ass, “You have to spend a night with me,” 

“If I sleep with you then I can have the pup?” I asked him. At this, his eyes gleamed mischievously before he suggested, “Why not? You can even have your own pup after I am done with you,” 

Blood rushed to my cheeks at his suggestion while my wolf was already ready to go to bed with him and make our own pups. His words acted as fuel to the flames of desire in me.

“What do you say, Jane?” He asked as he continued to press his body against mine. I could feel the bump in his pant pressed firmly against my stomach. I was already feeling very needy.

“Yes,” Was all I told him while I watched his lips hover just a few inches from mine. I waited for him to press them against mine but he didn’t. Not yet. 

“Alright then. You can have the pup tomorrow but tonight, I’ll have you,” He spoke darkly, making me wonder if it would be a good enough bargain or not. I would be able to figure that out tomorrow morning.
