June Summerfield Chapter 18
Hunter woke up just as the sun was peeking in through the windows, the only source of heat coming from the lit fireplace. He rolled over and looked at June, who was still sleeping.He inched over to her, pressing his bare chest against her back, sharing his body heat with her. He snuggled his face into her neck, feeling her stir as she slowly woke up.“Good morning, my queen.” He whispered in her ear, his voice still groggy from sleeping.“Good morning.” She said as she reached for his hand that was on his waist and pulled it closer to her chin. “How’d you sleep?”“I always sleep well when I’m next to you.”“Oh, shut up. Stop buttering me up like a biscuit.”“Now why would I be doing that?” he asked with a smirk and a small chuckle.“You know why, you pervert.” she shot him a playful glance.They continued to snuggle for a few moments before June rolled over to face him, looking into his dark eyes that somehow radiated content and love.June took a deep breath. Finally, her heart felt
June Summerfield Chapter 19
*two weeks later*June looked out over the garden, waiting for Hunter to return from work. She decided not to join him today, but he’s been gone for even longer these past few days, which, if she was being honest, frustrated her.She walked away from the large window and started pacing the floors. Normally he’d be back an hour ago, but she hadn’t heard or seen any sign of him returning any time soon.She took a deep breath, trying to calm her pounding heart and panicked thoughts. She just wanted to be close to him. To hear his voice. To feel the warmth of his body heat as they lay close together. To smell the smell that he always carried.Her heart ached for his presence.And he felt the same way about her.Hunter couldn’t wait to get off of work and return to June. He hated being away from her, but he made sure only his best people were to serve her. It made the days tolerable, knowing she was at least taken good care of.He sighed as he looked over the mountain of paperwork that had
June Summerfield Chapter 20
Hunter enters the room and sees June sitting on the bed surrounded by books. She looked up at him and sat up."It's a good thing you're back. I have some questions."He began unbuttoning his coat and looked at her with a raised eyebrow."Go ahead. Ask away.""I want to know about werewolves. You stopped me from picking out that book in the library, and I want to know why."Hunter froze and tilted his head back a bit, looking down his nose at the floor. He slid off his coat and hung it up, its royal blue almost distracting June from keeping eye contact.He let out a sigh and sat on the bed."We don't get along with werewolves, so there's nothing you need to know.""We as in who?" She shut the book she was reading and sat it aside, crossing her legs and sitting more upright."We as in vampires, June. It's a lot to explain now, and one day, I hope it will all make sense to you. But there was a battle, a war, years ago between vampires and werewolves. No one really won, but a truce was wr
June Summerfield Chapter 21
The next morning, June was the first one awake. The sunlight just barely peaked through the windows, allowing her to see Hunter asleep next to her.She didn't know what it was, but she felt like he was hiding something from her yesterday. He made her feel calm and safe, but she couldn't help but wonder. Was she really in danger now? Was she putting him in danger? She couldn't bear the thought of putting anyone up against werewolves just so they could be together, even if they were magical vampires.She couldn't deny it any longer: she was in love with Hunter. She wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of her life with him. She fought the feelings down but they prevailed. Just sitting there, watching him sleep so peacefully. The feelings bloomed into an explosion full of love and joy and peace. Desire.Need.Something else tugged at her mind, though. She couldn't help but notice that he seemed more restless than normal last night. And she noted that he seemed more loving and obsess
June Summerfield Chapter 22
“June Summerfield, will you marry me?” Hunter was almost vibrating at this point with nerves.June couldn’t form words through the tears now falling from her eyes. She just nodded and stepped forward. Hunter jumped up and carefully placed the ring on her finger. It was a little loose, but nothing that couldn’t be fixed.Without another word passing between the two, he cupped her face in his and brought her into the most passionate kiss they’d ever shared. June felt her heart pounding and her stomach flipping with excitement.“Hunter..” June started once they pulled away, his hands gently resting on her arms, taking in every bit of her. “I-” he kissed her again before she could get any words out.“Don’t worry about talking right now. Let’s just go eat.” He couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he gently lead her to the blanket and got two wine glasses out of the basket, pouring two glasses of rosè and handing one to June, who took it and immediately took a small sip.“Someone’s a bit

"Now let’s take it to the bed.” June slurred into Hunter's ear with her arms wrapped loosely around his neck.He pulled her even closer to him now, trying to control his urges. She was way drunker than he was, that much was obvious. But he couldn’t deny that his head was spinning a little bit too. It was against his morals to have sex with a drunk woman, but what if he was technically drunk too? And they had just got engaged...His thoughts tumbled around in his brain as June started planting small kisses around the base of his neck, sending shivers down his spine. He was either going to have to put a stop to it now or go full in.She lands one more kiss right under his ear and he decides he’s just going for it. They’re both technically drunk so he felt it could pass.He grabbed her by the legs and picked her up. June wrapped her legs around him as he began kissing and sucking on her neck, feeling her breathing deepen as she became more turned on.He carries her over to the bed, layin
June Summerfield Chapter 24
The next morning June woke up with a piercing migraine and strong nausea. Hunter had already been awake for a while, sitting next to her on the bed, reading a book.“Good morning, my queen.”June just groaned in response.“Here, eat something and drink plenty of water.” He handed her a platter of eggs, bacon, and waffles with a large glass of fresh orange juice and ice water.“Your voice annoys me.” She groaned as she forced herself to sit up, her head pounding.Hunter just smiled in response. “It’ll help. I promise.” He watched as she picked at her food and downed the orange juice.She noticed he was still wearing his pajama pants but had now thrown on an old t-shirt. She almost liked him casually dressed more than when he was all dressed like a king.She forced what she could down, hating that the food and water did help her feel better. She hated when he was right.“Where’s my ring?” She asked with concern heavy in her voice.“Don’t worry, love. I had it sent to be resized so it’d
June Summerfield Chapter 25
"Why not?" June asked, bewildered. "Don't you love me?""I say no because I love you.""I don't understand-""You don't have to. But just know that you stand a very high risk of dying." Hunter begged June to forgo the plan he could tell she had already made."But there's also a chance I'll have an actual future. One with you in it." She started sobbing again and Hunter just didn't have it in him to fight."If you really and truly want to risk it, and it's what'll make YOU happy.. then I will have it arranged to happen this evening." He had to force the last part out. It was the last thing he wanted but the first was for her to be happy. Whatever situation played out for him.Just as he had promised, Hunter had chosen the best vampire he knew. Harry Knot. He was professional, and always clean-cut. Very nice but never failed to put someone in their place. The perfect relative for June, he supposed.The four of them - Harry, Hunter, June, and the doctor overseeing everything - all gather
