Hunter's Claim: The Alliance Book 1
understand. I look
at you and my chest hurts. When I think of you in danger, I feel
fear. Never have I felt this before,” he said touching her
cheek.
    Jesse smiled and rubbed her cheek against
his hand. “You are wearing far too many clothes,” she murmured,
reaching for the front of his uniform.
    Hunter let her undress him. It was such an
erotic feeling to have her slowly pull his clothing from his body.
When she started following her fingers with her lips, he broke out
in a sweat. He had planned on seducing her but it was obvious that
he was the one being seduced.
    “Gods, Jesse!” He groaned as she pushed him
down on the long couch.
    “You are beautiful, Hunter,” Jesse admitted.
“I love looking at you.”
    Hunter nodded silently. His eyes drooped as
she pulled his boots off and tossed them to the side before she
straddled him so she could pull his pants off as well. His hands
immediately swept forward, cupping her breasts as they hung down in
his palms.
    Her increased breathing and the scent of her
arousal showed that she was just as affected by undressing him as
he was her. He kicked his pants off and pulled her forward until
she was straddling his throbbing cock.
    “Are you ready for me?” He asked, holding
her gaze with his own.
    “Always.”
    His loud cries blended with hers as he
pushed upward as she lowered herself over him until they were one.
He held her breasts in his hands as she began riding him. Their
whispered words wrapping around them.
    They took each other with a fierceness that
spoke of their desperation and fear of what the future held. For
Jesse, her fear that Hunter would not return to her. For Hunter,
the fear that he had only imagined the beautiful creature that he
had claimed as his own would not disappear, leaving him alone in
the vast star system.

Chapter 13
    “I will return as soon as I can,” Hunter
said, touching Jesse’s tight jaw. “I promise.”
    “We’ve heard those promises before,” Taylor
said bitterly. “You’re just one more in a long line.”
    “Taylor,” Jordan whispered. “Not now.”
    She’s right, thought Jesse but she
didn’t say the words out loud. “Just… be careful,” she said
instead.
    Hunter leaned down and rubbed his nose along
her cheek before pressing a kiss to her lips. It took several
seconds before she responded. When she did, he could taste the
desperation that she was trying to hide.
    “Hunter,” Dagger called out. “Let’s go. The
sooner we get down there and take care of this the sooner we get
back.”
    Hunter reluctantly released Jesse’s lips.
His eyes burned with determination as he stared down at her. He
would come back. He had never cared before when he was sent. He
went and did what he needed to do without worry if something should
happen. Now he had something to come back to. Stepping back, he
looked at Taylor and Jordan.
    “I will come back,” he promised them.
    “If you don’t, we’re coming to get you,”
Taylor said stubbornly. “We’re through with standing back and
waiting.”
    A rumble of laughter echoed in the transport
room at Taylor’s words. Only one warrior growled in warning. Hunter
looked at Saber’s dark face and shook his head before turning to
grin at Taylor.
    “If I don’t come back, I’ll expect you to
come get me,” Hunter teased before pulling Taylor into his arms and
giving her a big hug. “I am glad I have you on my side, little
one.”
    “I love you too, Hunter,” Taylor whispered.
“Please come back. We need you. Jesse needs you.”
    Hunter’s throat tightened and he felt a
strange burning in his eyes. He blinked several times to clear it
before looking at Dagger and Saber with a confused frown. Both of
the other men had confused expressions on their faces as well.
    He released Taylor as she pulled back to
turn to Dagger. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around his
waist and gave him a big hug.
    “That goes for you too,” she whispered
before standing on her toes and
