Madeline’s POV

It feels like I wanted to finish my food in one chew because of how Hunter is looking at me. And by the time we finished eating our meal, Hunter helped me stand up from my chair, and he holds my hand and never let it go. We both go to Lydia.

“Lydia, I need to take Maddie with me now. Thank you once again for taking good care of my girl.” He said, and I think he did it on purpose because he wants me to blush all the time, and I hate to admit that I love the way he called me his girl. It feels like I am on the clouds right now.

“Lydia, thank you so much for everything. I will never forget your generosity and all the things you have done for me.” I said, and Hunter released my hand so I can hug Lydia.

“You are welcome, Maddie. I will miss you, and please, if you have time, come and visit us sometimes.” She declared and released me from her embrace.

“Good luck, and congratulations in advance on your wedding day!” She said happily, and I can’t hold my tears. They are good people, and I love them already. And it feels like I found a family at the Morigan’s residence, and I will be forever grateful for them.

As I looked around, I found Lianne and Jack standing near us; and Lianne moves quickly to me, and she takes me into her arms. And she is like a sister to me now, and I am so glad I meet her.

“I will miss you, Madeline.” She said, and I looked at her.

“Me, too, Lianne, and thank you so much for everything,” I replied.

“Good luck, and I can tell your fiance is so crazy about you. You have to believe me, Maddie.” She whispered in my ear, and I can’t stop myself from smiling from ear to ear.

“Good luck, Madeline, and best wishes on your upcoming wedding.” She added.

“Thank you, Lianne,” I said, and I find Jack holding my bags since I already brought my things this morning because I was expecting Cal to pick me up anytime within today, and I don’t want to go back to their residence. When Jack handed me my things, Hunter beat me to receive them from him, and I can’t believe he is acting like a jealous freak. I want to hug Jack and say thank you, but I don’t want to make my future husband more jealous, so instead, I face him before I speak.

“Jack, thank you for everything.” I said, and I felt the arm of Hunter curled around my shoulders in an instant.

“You are welcome, Madeline. You can visit anytime.” He said, and I can tell Jack is avoiding my gaze because Hunter never leaves my side. I offer my right hand to Jack, and he takes it but released it quickly like he was burning, and I can tell it was because of the man standing so near me. I don’t know how I feel about his possessive personality right now, but I can’t deny I am enjoying every moment of it.

We said our goodbyes, and as I am about to get inside Hunter’s car, I saw Gina’s car arrived, and I waited for her to come out and meet her before we leave.

“Maddie!” He runs to me after she climbs out of her car, and I can see the surprised look on her face as she looked at Hunter, who is still holding my hand.

“Mr. Divenson, good afternoon!” She exclaimed.

“You can call me Hunter, Gina.” He said, and Gina’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“I don’t think it is appropriate,” She said, and I can see she is still shocked.

“You are Maddie’s best friend, and you are calling me Mr. Divenson. It sounds so formal. Please call me, Hunter, from now on.” He declared, and Gina’s face lit up with happiness.

“Of course, Hunter, wow! It feels like we are friends now.” She said, and Hunter laughs, and it amazed me to hear him laugh.

“I am sorry, Gina, but I am taking your best friend now with me.” Hunter said.

“It is okay, Hunter, I came here not for your fiancee, but for Jack, I mean for the Morigan.” She said, and I can see that she is blushing, and I can look at the smile on Hunter’s face broadened.

“So, you are crushing with the chef? I think you should get inside now, Gina, and get his full attention. It seems he is broken-hearted that Madeline is coming with me.” He declared.

“Don’t worry, Hunter, Madeline has eyes only for you, and now that you permit me to be your friend by calling you by your first name, you also allow me to provide you with some advice. Please, be gentle with Madeline.” She declared, and I can see Hunter is shaking his head.

“What is wrong with you people? Why do you tell me the same thing? Do you think I am harsh to Madeline? Why all of you advise me to be gentle with her?” He said, and I can feel his frustrations through his voice, and I wonder who these people are who asked him the same thing?

“Don’t worry, Gina, I know how to take care of my woman.” He said in a calm tone now.

“Well, it is nice to know, and thank you for being brave enough to pick up Madeline, and I think you should take care of your woman and don’t rely on your assistant. Don’t get me wrong, Calixto is a good person, but it is still different if you take care of her.” She responded, and I give her hard stares to stop giving Hunter advice, but it seems my best friend is enjoying herself.

“Thank you for your concern, Gina. I appreciate that you care about Maddie like a sister. As much as we want to stay, we need to go, and please don’t forget that you are Maddie’s Maid of Honor.” Hunter said.

“Of course, goodbye, and please take care of Madeline.” She replied, and Gina kissed me on the cheeks, and she got inside the restaurant in a hurry. Hunter opens the passenger’s door for me, and he assisted me in settling myself on the car seat. When Hunter buckles my seatbelt, I can’t stop myself inhaling his masculine scent, and I can tell Hunter always smells so good. And I hate myself for craving his soft lips once again, and he didn’t disappoint me by kissing my hungry lips before he closes my door and run to the driver’s side and gets inside the car quickly while I am still in a daze that he kissed me again.

“Are you ready?” Hunter asked as he looked me sideways after he fastened his seatbelt.

“Never been ready.” I said, and I can’t stop myself from biting my lips unintentionally.

“Please don’t do that while I am driving, Madeline.” He said in a seductive voice, and I can’t stop myself from giggling.

“And why is that?” I asked innocently.

“Because it made me want to kiss you more, wait for later, Maddie. I will make sure your lips will swell as I kiss you until you are out of breath. Don’t seduce me while I am driving, Madeline, because I don’t want to pull over the car and make out with you on the side of the road. I want to be intimate with you when we are in a private place because I can’t wait to teach you some lesson.” He said, and I can’t help to feel so excited about what kind of lesson he will enlighten me.

“Why, what kind of lesson will you teach that you need to take me into a private place?” I asked, and I can’t stop myself from teasing him.

“It is a kind of lesson that will make you moan, Madeline, and it needs actual performance because the theory is far from reality.” He said while he focused his attention on the road.

“So, I am just curious, when are you planning to teach me this kind of lesson, Hunter?” I asked, and I don’t know where did I become so flirty, but he is my husband to be, and I guess I need to be more vocal if I want Hunter to fall for me, even if I am a virgin, I am willing to do everything I can to please him, besides I can’t wait to be with him. Just thinking about how hot he is wearing his clothes, I can’t imagine Hunter being naked in front of me. I don’t have any idea how to handle that kind of scenario, but I will become his wife soon, and it means I am going to give myself entirely to him after our marriage, and I can’t wait for the day of our union, and I wonder why I feel this way now.

“Soon, sweet Madeline, because I can’t wait to taste you.” He said, and I can feel my entire face blushed again.

“But don’t worry, Maddie, I will only take you after our wedding day. I want to give you some heads up how it feels to be my wife.” He said, and our conversations are making me so hot all over my frame, and I stop asking questions. I feel I am losing this battle because I don’t want to look pathetic in front of him. After all, I don’t know what I will do, I may sound flirty, but in reality, I haven’t seen man anatomy before.

I focused my attention on the road, and I am stunned that Hunter is taking a different route, and I am shocked when he stopped in front of the Villa.

“Maddie, I bought this place as my wedding gift for you.” Hunter said, and I can tell now that Calixto wasn’t lying at all, and even though Cal has informed me about the Villa, still, it feels different hearing it from Hunter.

“Wow! This place is beautiful.” I exclaimed.

“We will stay here for the night, Madeline, because our lesson 101 will starts tonight..” He winked at me, and then he gets out of the car while I am left shocked and speechless, but I couldn’t deny the excitement that I feel.
