ELIAS’ POV The hunter nuzzled her cheek against my chest and slowly the hard lines of her face eased into a soft smile. It was almost like she recognised our connection subconsciously despite being human or was that just me reading too much into it? I shouldn’t be this happy just because she leaned into me but my heart pounded and it felt like I was floating in air. Would it really be so bad to just give in to this feeling? I made a turn for the bathroom and ran some warm water into the tub. While I waited for the tub to fill, I sat on the edge and placed the hunter on my lap so I could help her strip out of my shirt. I began undoing the buttons of the shirt before my hands stilled at her chest. I’m stripping her…. My eyes suddenly fell to the generous mounds of flesh on her chest.
