Knotting the Hunter Chapter 122 – The Sober One
Dax"Slower," Noah says from the chair. "Do the next one slower. I'm very invested."Day two, late afternoon, and I'm doing pull-ups on the doorframe bar because a man needs somewhere to put two days of holding his own leash, and my options are this or chopping enough firewood for a decade.He's just starting to ride a new wave. Loose, warm, watching me with his chin propped on his knuckles."You're supposed to be resting.""I'm supervising. Chin over the bar. God, look at your back working. I've had my mouth on most of that and it still stuns me just watching the muscles ripple.""You're not helping.""I’m helping myself. You should relax more."I snort out a laugh. Coming from Mr. Stoicism over there, that’s a very rich statement.“Don’t listen to me next time I make fun of you not wearing a shirt. It’s a crime against my eyeballs to cover all that up. I love looking at you. Maybe just make regularly scheduled fucking breaks in the office to ease the discomfort of what the sight of
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 121 – By Hand
Noah"Open."I open. He puts a strawberry in my mouth and watches me chew like it's his favorite show on HBO.Day one, early afternoon, sun all over the kitchen, and my boyfriend is feeding me lunch one piece at a time.By hand.I’ve never been happier about anything in my life, and I've said so a dozen times, out loud, with supporting arguments.Last night ran long, and I remember every glorious minute, which is a problem for day three."That one was a nine," I tell him. "Slightly underripe. Your fingers carried it.""High praise.""Your fingers could carry anything. They should run the town."He holds up a piece of toast and I take it from his hand with my teeth, along with some knuckle, on purpose. He forced me to stop worshiping him so we could come downstairs and eat.He pulls back and inspects the damage. A dent in the skin, no blood. The grin on him could power the house."You bit me.""I grazed you lightly. Because I want to devour you."I catch his wrist before it gets away a
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 120 – Hands Off
DaxNoah recites poetry to my ass the whole way up the stairs.It doesn't rhyme and half of it is threats, but it's delivered with total sincerity by a man hanging upside down over my shoulder, so I'm counting it."Put me down or I'll bite you somewhere structural.""You'll bite me anyway.""True. I stand by it."Two days of this.Maybe three if I’m lucky. I’m not wasting any of it.I kick the bedroom door shut.So incredibly grateful that he gave me permission not to stick to the self-sacrificing plan I’d originally made.Resisting Noah in this state would have been the worst kind of torture.Still need to stick to a schedule of watering and feeding though. Take care of his health.I drop him on the bed and the schedule dies on impact.He bounces once, comes up on his knees with his pupils blown black, and gives me the look I give breakfast.'Clothes off,' the wolf says.He's been strutting since the riverbank and it hasn't improved.'All of them. Why are you still standing there.'"
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 119 – Only Louder
NoahBeing poisoned by a fairy is fantastic. I can't stress this enough.Dax is building a fire on the riverbank to burn the driftwood bundle that used to be a monster, per Lillianna's instructions.He's doing it crouched, with his forearms out, and the monster part of the evening has stopped mattering to me at all."Facts," I tell him. "You have two arms. Both of them are perfect. That's not the toxin talking, that's just appreciation I've been suppressing for months out of professionalism.""Drink your water."Somewhere far back in my head, a small sober version of me sits in a folding chair, taking minutes for the tribunal later. Let him. Everyone else in here is having a wonderful time.I drink my water. Maintaining eye contact, so he knows it's romantic."That's genuinely unsettling," Dax says, feeding the flames another branch."You're unsettling. You crouch like a Greek statue that got tired of standing. If you take your shirt off, the fire will burn better. That's science.""T
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 118 – Goddess Help You
DaxThe plan's simple, which means the catch hasn't shown up yet.Noah sits on a bench by the river looking lonely and sexy.I lie in the brush thirty feet downwind, waiting to watch the thing that's been snacking on this town try to flirt with what's mine.The wolf's been growling about the seating arrangement since sundown.‘We should be on the bench. He should be in the bush.’You know it doesn't want to seduce werewolves.‘Then it's stupid as well as ugly.’Twenty-four hours since Tori's texts lit up our porch, and my boyfriend spent most of them planning how to make himself irresistible to a fairy.His words at the kitchen table this morning, said around a mouthful of toast,"It hunts lonely people, and it's got a schedule. Tristan walks that path after dinner, so I get to the bench an hour early. A fresh sad man in its territory, sitting where its food sits. It'll want a taste before the regular delivery shows up."I hated the plan immediately and couldn't find a way around it,
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 117 – Mr. Right
Noah"Third visit this week," I say, scanning his card. "You haven't touched a weight on any of them.""I walked the treadmill.""You stood on the treadmill without starting it. Six minutes. I watched you."Tristan grins at me over the desk, and I wish he wouldn't.It looks wrong on his face.The screen in front of me tells me he’s been a member of this gym for two years. He visits twice a week, never misses.I’ve gotten to know him a little in the time I’ve been here.He always wears khaki shorts and has a bad hip he blames on a fall from a ladder.Whoever’s on the desk when he comes in gets a full report on every type of bird and other animal that visited his feeders since he was last here.At length and in excruciating detail.Since his wife passed he talks to people wherever he can corner them long enough, so I know everything about the war between the finches and the squirrel who lives in his garden.The last few times I’ve seen him something’s off.He’s lost fifteen pounds, mayb
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 5 – Carrion
NoahThe wolf hits it like a truck, and the thing barely rocks.Wrong.Two hundred pounds of Alpha at a dead run should fold anything with a spine.This rotten thing takes the hit, slides back a boot-length in the dirt, and swings an arm the size of my leg.The wolf has to wrench sideways midair to
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 4 – Downwind
DaxFor the last hour I've been telling myself I'm only out here to keep the idiot from getting himself killed.It's a good lie.Responsible.Very Alpha.The kind of thing my father would've said with a straight face right before going off and doing exactly what he wanted.Truth is, I caught his tr
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 3 – Sign
NoahThree miles from where you should be standing.The asshole could have at least given me a direction.Fortunately, I’ve learned to trust my instincts.Hunters don’t have any inherent magic, but our senses are more developed than those of ordinary humans.So here I am.Three miles out from the N
Knotting the Hunter Chapter 2 – Heel
DaxThe wolf wants to turn around.He's wanted to turn around since I cleared the fence, and he isn't being quiet about it, because quiet isn't a thing he owns.He just keeps shoving the same word into the back of my skull like a toddler with a doorbell.Ours.Ours, ours, ours."He's a hunter," I t
