In other circumstances I would be delighted with Hunter’s trust in me.

Now it just felt cruel.

“Consider it done,” I said brusquely.

He looked at me, his eyes slightly bright.

With desire?

He reached his hand halfway across the desk toward me, then dropped it and cleared his throat.

I stood before he could speak. If he was attracted to me at this moment because of my calm competence, that would be extremely irritating. Especially since being needed seemed to turn him on so much when it came to Maya.

I didn’t let him say anything, just walked quickly from his office and straight to Maya’s desk.

“Hi,” I said quickly. “I have a task for you. Can you come into the conference room?”

She leapt to her feet, nodding furiously.

I thought she looked determined, like she was desperate to prove herself to me.

“Okay, I need you to organize these purchase lists for the new member supplies. You’ll be helping me with preparations for the new member initiation ceremony.”

Maya nodded. She didn’t questi

    “There’s no difference,” Hunter said. His voice was still icy, his dark eyes still hooded.I felt a pit open in my chest. I was empty and numb, but at the same time raw and exposed. My physical symptoms weren’t helping either.As we’d been talking, the nausea and headaches that were becoming more and more constant had worsened.I couldn’t go on like this much longer. Neither my heart nor my body could take it.“Why not just reject me and divorce me now?” My voice sounded more pleading than I would have liked. Like I was begging him. I wanted to continue talking. To tell him I couldn’t go on like this because it was breaking my heart.Instead I kept my face still and tried not to cry. Or throw up.His face didn’t change.“This matter is under my control. You just need to follow my orders. After all, I chose you because you know your place and make things easier for me. Or is it that you’ve found someone else and want to get divorced?”Every time I thought he couldn’t break me any more

    Leo recovered first.He dropped my hand and walked toward the bench.“Hey guys,” he said brightly, waving a hand limply at Hunter and Maya. “We were about to head back to the office. Shall we debrief my trip and the new member initiation ceremony plans in 10 minutes?”Hunter didn’t respond.Maya cleared her throat and piped up, eyes bright.“I promise I won’t tell anyone about you two.”She looked pleased with herself. Probably relieved at the thought of me being interested in anyone besides Hunter. And probably eager to do me a “favor” and make sure she was back in my good books after her outburst.Leo looked toward Hunter, who still hadn’t moved or spoken.“Oh, Kara and I are just friends,” he said, addressing Maya. “We’ve just known each other a long time. She’s always been clumsy, too.” He smirked, playfully punching my upper arm.Maya raised her eyebrows. She didn’t look convinced.“Oh, okay, I just thought—” she started. Hunter cut across her.“Kara, I need to see you in my offi

    She was staring at me intently. I felt itchy with her gaze.I reached up and brushed my hair behind my ear, subtly adjusting the collar of my blouse to cover my neck as I brought my hand back to my side.Her eyes followed my hand. They snapped back up to my neck. She grimaced.“I know it’s none of my business,” she said in a small voice. “But it’s making me crazy not knowing.”“You know how people like to gossip,” I replied flatly.She nodded slowly. I had a feeling she knew I was being evasive, but was still too intimidated to ask a follow-up question.Maybe I could distract her with work. And flattery.“Anyway, this is good work.” I lifted the hand still holding the papers she’d given me. “Real improvement. Next, could you—”Her eyes skittered away toward the door, which I heard open with a click. She looked back to me. Then back, mouth opening very slightly, toward the door.“Hey, Kares.” The voice was a warm, wry tenor.I smiled, distracted from my awkward interaction with Maya, a

  • The Secret Luna Left, Now He Regrets    #Chapter 10: “Through His Eyes”

    HunterI leaned over Maya, trying not to get too close. Trying not to fall even harder at the way she narrowed her gorgeous eyes to squint at the supply list. The wrinkle in her nose as she concentrated, wanting to please me.The way she needed me. I adjusted my body so our arms weren’t touching. I felt an electric current of energy radiating between our skin.I wanted her.I gritted my teeth. It was infuriating that she undid me like this. I’d never wanted to feel this way.But I wouldn’t act on it. Not until she was older.I startled as she stood up quickly. Her chair fell backward and she whipped her head toward the doorway. My eyes followed hers. Kara was standing in the hallway, looking in. Her face was impassive. Blank. Why was she just standing there? As soon as I wondered, though, she moved silently away.Emotionless.“Oh no,” Maya said breathlessly. “I think she was just starting to like me. I hope she doesn’t misunderstand.”I narrowed my eyes and hardened my tone to re

    She looked hurt and baffled. I wanted to open my mouth to explain.“Idle gossip,” I whispered softly. She nodded.I grappled with an emotion that was convoluted, but becoming more familiar by the day.Feeling sorry for her and myself at the same time.Wishing we could both be happy, but knowing we never could be at the same time.I smiled at Maya, cleared my throat, and walked briskly into the break room.“That’s enough,” I said coldly.Laila and Elle both looked down toward their feet.“Get back to work,” I said quickly. I spoke quietly in part because the nausea was threatening to overtake me. But my voice sounded tense and authoritative. They nodded and immediately exited the room.I peered around the doorframe after they left and waved Maya into the break room. She collected her medicine from a cabinet, and I wordlessly offered her a cup for water.She filled it, looking like she was about to cry.“I feel so useless compared to you,” she said in a small voice. “Everyone hates me.
