River was exhausted by the end of the day in the next meeting Hunter introduced her to every important person in the gathering. The dinner went very well.
And in the dinner Lisa turned up but without Rosalie. She said to the others that Luna River insulted her daughter to the extent that Rosalie was now a puddle of ***. She wanted to stay at home and forget what happened to her Many of the close friends who were with Lisa Jenna, now distanced. No one wanted to be in the bad book of Luna. As Hunter helped unzip River’s dress at night, she said, “I am so tired, Hunter. I think I don’t even have energy to breathe ” The gown pooled on her feet. She stepped out of it and placed her heel on his chest. He unstrapped her leather at the ankle. She put on her other heel and he unstrapped that too.
River tossed aside her stilettos and walked in her bra and panties to the bed without bothering to remove her makeup or undo her hairdo Hunter chuckled. He too stripped his pants and shirt and slipped beside her in his boxers. He turned her away from him, pulled her back against his chest and spooned her River let out a satisfied exhale, surrounded in the protection of his arms and then went off to sleep.
Somewhere during the night, she thought that something was pushing her forward and when she would ***forward, something strong stopped her. She woke up with liquid heat pooled in her belly and with Hunter’s ****inside her from the back. He was moving behind her like a piston with his head buried in her neck. “Hunter!” she rasped his name and with a snarl he came inside her. “Goddess, you are so priapic!”
He moved lazily inside her and smiled against her skin. “Priapic only for you.”
A week passed and Hunter acquainted her with the way his pack worked. River was surprised to see that he was into numerous businesses and he conducted every business pretty efficiently. He wanted her to take over the project of building a township for her pack members.
River wanted to but she asked hesitantly, “What is the budget like?*
They were sitting in his office along with Elijah and Asher. His architect Landon Bird who was overlooking the township project was also sitting with him.
Hunter raised his eyebrow as a smile spread on his lips. “It is as much as you want, love. I don’t want you to stress over budget.”
“But you are also into the township project for the demons. I don’t want to burden you so much. It’s not like that you earn for charity Hunter,” she said, feeling like he was terribly burdened.
Hunter tilted his head as he crossed his arms. “Come here,” he said.
Her brows furrowed. He wanted her to come to him in front of so many people. She glanced at all of them and she could feel that they were stifling their laughter. Her cheeks heated but she got up and walked to him. She gasped when he grabbed her by the waist and made her sit on him. He swiveled the chair and they **the screen of the computer. His hands flew over the keyboard smoothly and a page flashed in front of them. The title was Crescent Moon Project.
He explained to her every detail and when she looked at the budget allocated, her eyes grew wide. “Goddess! Hunter, that is too much!” she breathed, looking at the whopping five billion dollars budget. “Just how rich are you?” The men in the office burst out laughing and River couldn’t help but blush a little more.
“That’s why, love. Feel free to splurge. I want you to give fantastic amenities to your pack members. After all they are my family too.”
River was so overwhelmed by this gesture that she turned her head and kissed him. There were tears of gratitude in her eyes.
For the next week, River became too busy with the project’s blueprints and other details. She was too excited that her pack members were going to come near her. She decided on cutting on some useless amenities like having two community swimming pools or two clubhouses and a football stadium. Instead she focused on getting more labor to finish off the work faster.
That evening she served him wine and took a glass for herself as she sat with him on the couch to watch a movie on Netflix. River sipped her wine when suddenly, she felt like this was the most ***taste that burst in her ***. She rushed to the bathroom and spit the wine out and before she knew she vomited every piece of dinner that she had in the toilet.
Hunter rushed to her. When he saw that she was vomiting, he gathered her hair at the back and stroked her back until she was over with it. She retched a little more and then the last liquid came out of her body. He became so anxious that blood drained from his face. He linked ***with Faria and Mia and called them over.
“River, talk to me,” he said when she slumped to the ground. He knelt beside her and cupped her face, aghast. He felt like he would *** if she didn’t talk. His stomach twisted into so many knots that he also felt like vomiting.
She lifted her eyes to look at him and her lips curved up in a weak smile. “I am fine, she said in a hoarse voice
“You look like a ghost,” he said, sounding like a ghost.
Faria came rushing in with a glass of water in her nightgown while Mia came dressed in pajamas and a silk shirt. Faria gave water to River. River gulped down the water and took a deep breath in. “I think this was all stress.
Hunter picked her up in his arms and brought her to the bedroom. Faria and Mia followed her, Mia sat down beside her as Hunter pulled the quilt over her and propped up pillows behind her.
“River, how are you feeling?” Mia asked. “Should we call the doctor?”
“No…” she shook her head. “You don’t have to do anything. I think I have overworked.”
“Then you are taking a week’s rest!” Hunter announced, annoyed at her. “You will stay in this bedroom and that’s it!” River closed her eyes as she smiled tenderly at him. He was too caring. “Okay, I won’t but I know that I will be okay by morning.”
After Faria and Mia talked to her a little more about having some juice or milk or yogurt which she refused, they left on an assurance that they would be called the minute she felt **. Hunter just kicked his shoes off and went to lie beside her. He curled his arm around him and rested his head over her chest. “Don’t scare me like that, love. Ever again.” She raked her fingers through his hair and her kiss was her answer.
However, when he woke up in the morning, he found River next to the toilet, vomiting. He panicked.
