Chapter 18

Summer Frost NOW

My eyes narrowed in shock and I froze on the spot as Hunter held me in his arms with his lips almost on mine since his thumb was in between our lips, preventing them from touching. He didn’t really kiss me.

I thought it was not going to work, but it did. Xander left immediately in his car angrily, and I quickly stepped away from him.

“Wh…why did you do that?” My voice quivered as I wiped my lips, looking everywhere else except his face. My heart pounded hard in my chest, not because I felt something for him, but because I was caught off guard.

“You asked me to get rid of him, and I did. Don’t you think you owe me one?” He tucked his hands inside his pockets and shrugged.

“Sorry about that, but it was the only way I could get rid of him that easily. You still owe me for that, anyway,” He patted my shoulder briefly and turned

to leave.

“I’m a terrible person, Hunter…” He stopped on his track and threw his head back as he sighed.

“See what I just did? I used you to hurt someone… I used you to get what I want. Why don’t you tell Dad to stop? You are only going to get hurt if you keep pushing this. You will always end up as nothing but my tool to get Xander jealous,” I knew it didn’t make sense, but I didn’t want to hurt the innocent man and his feelings.
