Hunter's Revenge 37. Hunter
The Reaper left a moment later. I felt my eyes begin to close as sleepiness got the better of me. I hadn't even realized he had come back into the room as the comforting smell of eggs and bacon awakened my senses. I opened my eyes to see a tray resting on the bed beside me. The smell of the bacon was beyond comprehension as I felt my stomach roll from hunger. I reached over and carefully grabbed the tray, careful not to open my stitches. On the tray were a glass of orange juice, a plate of bacon and eggs, a small glass of water and a pill next to a note. I grabbed the small note and read. 'This should help with your headache.' It read. A smile crept onto my face as I looked over the tray. I knew I should be cautious about taking medicine from a stranger. But something was telling me that it would be ok. If the Reaper were going to hurt me, he would've done it by now. If anything, why would he save me just to take advantage of me after? He could've just let me bleed out at the fight
Hunter's Revenge 38. Tomás
"I won't be gentle." Hunter comments, flipping me over so my back is along his chest. His left arm wrapped around my front as he squeezed my neck, holding me against him."I never asked you to be." I reply. I can feel his excitement behind me. His right hand ran down the curves of my body as if unsure as to how to proceed."Have you ever been with anyone before?" He asks, surprising me."No.""Then you should want me to be gentle for your first time." He comments, letting go of my neck to cup my breasts, making me moan out once more."I never claimed to be normal.""You don't want a monster like me for your first time. I'll ruin your experience for any other man that's with you.""You seem to think you know me." I state, mildly irritated."I'm just trying to protect you.""Who said I needed to be protected!?" I shout out in fury.Hunter goes to speak. However, I find myself no longer in the mood. I glare at him as I talk before he has a chance to say his piece."You know what? Perhaps
Hunter's Revenge 39. Explanations
Hunter drags me from Tomás' room, closing his door on the way out. I know I can get out of his hold easily. Whether Hunter is aware of this or is simply turning a blind eye to it, is beside me. I continue to follow after him, seeing where he's taking me.He opens a familiar door and pushes me into the room. He slams the door right after him and crosses the room to me. "All this time! You kept this from me?" He asks, making my eyes go wide."Kept this from you? Are you f*cking kidding me right now? I didn't keep anything from you!" I shout, my anger boiling over."Then why am I only finding out now that you can speak Spanish?!" Hunter shouts."Oh, I don't know. Perhaps because you never asked or even cared to ask me anything, let alone what languages I can or can not speak." I retort.Hunter looks at me, annoyed. However, I can see his anger slowly diminishing as the realization hits him."You haven't once asked anything to get to know me. You've only just made assumptions on my behal
Hunter's Revenge 40. The File
"Follow me." He comments, stepping away from him. I raise a brow at his remark but refrain from pushing the issue. He leads me back to his office. I sit down on the chair in front of his desk as he reaches into the cabinet and pulls out a file. He hands it over to me tentatively. I can see the unease in his features as he reaches his hand out to pass the file to me."What's this." "The full story." He comments, allowing me to grab the file.I nod my head, not quite sure what all this is about but taking it nonetheless. I opened the folder and was surprised to see that the report seemed to be from multiple crime scenes. I don't quite understand what this has to do with anything. I look up at Hunter to see him looking at me with remorse. "What is this?" I ask, confused. Nothing seems at all familiar. However, one face does stand out. A boy that shares quite a lot of similarities with Tomás. But a much younger Tomás."Being born in Colombia is of no advantage. No one ever comes out say
Hunter's Revenge 41. It's A Date
Before I know it, I find myself back in bed with Hunter lying beside me. Though unlike before, it's not for sexual reasons. Neither of us planning on taking it further. Rather, I find myself smiling as Hunter pulls me close to him. He places my head on his arm, bringing my head towards his heart. I let the gentle lull of his heartbeat relax me to sleep. The feel of the warm sun wakes me up from my slumber. I hadn't even realized I had stayed the entire night with him. I feel Hunter's other arm wrapped tightly around me and snuggle closer to him. I would be lying if I said I didn't have the best sleep of my life. It was as though something inside of me was telling me that it was ok to give in to him. I bring my hand up and begin to trace the defined lines on his chest. "You're playing with fire, Mariposa." I hear him sleepily call out."Perhaps that's what excites me." I say as I continue to trace each of his abdominal muscles along the path of his v-line. Just as my hand goes lower
Hunter's Revenge 42. Heist Pt 1
...Sienna POV...As promised, Hunter sent me the confirmation info for our date tomorrow night. The small act had my heart fluttering. I felt like a love-sick puppy. The smallest things reminded me of him, and I felt myself daydreaming about him as well. That was until I felt the harsh slap from Rylee. "Bubs? What's going on? Why are you so distracted all of a sudden?" Rylee asked, bringing me out of my trance."Sorry. I didn't mean it." I reply, not wanting to tell her the details at the moment. Rylee looked at me suspiciously, clearly seeing that I was up to something, but knew that I didn't want to talk about it."Whatever. Just get your head in the game. Tonight's important. We could end this tonight, so long as we pull it off." Rylee comments, making me realize how right she was. If I didn't get my mind focused, it could mean a life sentence in jail or worse. Rylee and I spent the rest of the morning going over the final details. Rylee went home after lunch so as not to make any
Hunter's Revenge 43. Heist Pt 2
"What did I tell you?" I ask, smiling towards her once our favourite song finishes."I know... I know... You were right. Nothing bad was going to happen. It was just my nerves." She says, smiling at me.Just as I'm about to reach over and clasp her hand in mine, I notice car lights behind us."Hmm... That's weird." I remark."What is?" Rylee asks."I've just never seen anyone out here this late before. I guess I expected it to be abandoned tonight as well." I say, shrugging my shoulders. However, I can't help but feel my stomach drop. I'm not normally nervous. But for whatever reason, my nerves have gotten the better of me."I'm sure it's just someone that was forced to work a night shift or something." Rylee says in an attempt to calm my nerves. But for whatever reason, her words don't calm me. Rather they begin to have the opposite effect as the car begins to speed closer toward us."Ryles?" I say, focusing both on driving and the car lights behind me."Ya?" She responds, her fear n
Hunter's Revenge 44. Darkness
My head was pounding. The incessant beeping wasn't helping either. My head felt so groggy. I opened my eyes and immediately regretted it, as the bright light in the room only increased the pain in my head. I controlled my breathing and worked on the techniques the doctors had shown me in the past. I knew it hurt, but I needed to figure out where I was. I opened my eyes once more, this time much more slowly. I looked around the room, searching for any clue as to where I was.My heart dropped at the realization. I was in pure hell, otherwise known as the hospital. It was a location I wish I could erase from my mind. I'd spent so much of my life here as it was. I resented having to come back here.I saw Maverick asleep on the chair next to my bed. I slowly reached over and tapped his hand, waking him up."Sienna?" Maverick said, groggily, slowly opening his eyes. "Mav? What's going on?" I ask, unsure as to why I was back in the hospital."Hold on. I'll get a nurse." Maverick says, quic

Hunter's Revenge 104. Final Seconds
About an hour later, Silvio reenters the room, looking directly at me. Though the odd thing is he seems neither surprised nor upset to see the sudden disappearance of Ash and Hunter. Were they captured? Is that why? I wonder to myself. "Ah, good. I see we're right on schedule." Silvio comments, making me turn my head to look up at him. "Don't look at me like that. I know you're a smart girl. You don't actually believe that I would be as stupid as to confess my ultimate plan with you, then to let you escape?" Silvio asks, making me quirk a brow. I remained silent, unsure of what to say. I didn't understand what was happening. I could feel my mind working to figure out what I had missed. "I told you what I wanted you to know." Silvio comments, making my eyes go wide. A thought suddenly comes to mind. Silvio had gone into detail about his plan and then left us unattended. He wanted us to escape, which could only mean one thing. Hunter and Ash's freedom was nothing but a delusion. Si
Hunter's Revenge 103. Bomb's Away
“Mariposa.” Hunter comments, making my desire for him increase. It’s been so long since Hunter last called me that. He used to only ever call me that. But with everything happening lately, he switched to calling me by my name. I couldn’t even be mad either, as I would’ve done the same thing if I were in his shoes. He tried desperately to give me the benefit of the doubt, regardless of how much incriminating evidence there was. So to hear Hunter calling me his Mariposa once more makes me far happier than I could imagine.Without realizing it, I had closed the distance between us. My lips found Hunter’s with no abandon. Time seems to freeze as we deepen the kiss. So many unspoken conversations are taking place in unison with this kiss. I can feel all of Hunter’s emotions. His desires, his anguish, but most importantly, his love. I can feel his uneasiness when it comes to my plan. As well as the dread he feels knowing that this may be our only chance. While he may have put up a fight abo
Hunter's Revenge 102. Grand Finalé
The more time I spent in this room, the more familiar it was becoming. I just couldn’t place how. I’ve never been here before. So why does it look so familiar? I looked around the room, trying to pinpoint what it was about this room that looked so familiar. Which is when one thing caught my eye. The chair Hunter is sitting on is the same chair Ash was sitting on in the video that Silvio and Kevin had shown me earlier, which could only mean one thing. Silvio’s taken us to where Ash was tortured. This could end up being a good thing. Silvio hasn’t said a word about Ash which probably means that Ash is still alive. If Ash were dead, Silvio wouldn’t hesitate to let me know. So the fact that Silvio has remained quiet about Ash’s presence means that Ash is very much alive and could be our way out. I’ll just need to make yet another distraction. This one, however, will have to provide us with a lot more time. I’ll need to figure out how to get Hunter out of here. I already have an idea in m
Hunter's Revenge 101. Deja Vu
…Sienna POV…This was beginning to feel like a pattern. Being knocked unconscious and waking up somewhere else. Though this time, I couldn’t figure out where I was. All the other times, I had known that Hunter was behind it, and I was at his estate. But now? I couldn’t say the same. For whatever reason, something felt off about this. I don’t know why, but it was as though I could tell that I was no longer in Colombia. Which made me question how long I have been out.Shouts of anger and aggression can be heard from somewhere in the distance. My head is slightly dizzy, and I feel partially lightheaded. However, I know I need to figure out what’s going on. I see a stream of light coming from the far side of the room. I take a quick look around to get a better feel of what I’m dealing with. To see if there’s anything nearby that I could use as a weapon. After scanning the room as much as I can, I can’t seem to find anything that would make a decent enough weapon, so instead, I focus on
Hunter's Revenge 100. Brink of Death
...Hunter POV...I paced the floor of the hospital for what felt like hours. I had yet to see or hear from any of the medical personnel that were helping Tomás. I couldn't deny that not knowing almost seemed worse than what the final outcome would be. Every bloody scenario rang through my mind. Will Tomás make it out alive? If he does, what will happen to him? If he doesn't, am I prepared to live without him? While I may not exactly know the answer to that final question, I do know for sure that if Tomás does die, then I'm beyond prepared to burn everything around me. There's nothing that won't face my wrath. The memory of seeing Sienna standing over Tomás lifeless body will forever haunt my mind. I couldn't believe I'd been so reckless. I had singlehandedly brought the traitor into my house. I had given up my weak point to the one person I thought I could trust. To this day, I don't even know why I did that. It was as if just being near her made me feel, for the first time ever, th
Hunter's Revenge 99. Cusp of Life
....Sienna POV...The moment I saw Kevin, I knew he was here for one purpose and one purpose only. To kill me. Now that I had executed the last part of his plan, he no longer needed me alive. As they say, dead men tell no tales. So with my death, Hunter would be forced to believe what Kevin has continually fed him. I tried to move my arms and legs when I realized that they were immobile, and it wasn't just because I was once again strapped to the ceiling. Rather, my entire range of motion was gone, which made me realize that Kevin must've administered some sort of temporary paralytic. Well, I hope that it was only temporary. Otherwise, I'll be in far more trouble than I'm already in.I knew Kevin would want me to beg for my life. But I wouldn't allow myself to do that. No amount of begging would save me anyways. I just had to hope that Hunter got here soon. While there was a strong chance that Hunter would kill me, my only chance of survival relied on Hunter giving me a chance to ex
Hunter's Revenge 98. Puppeteer
...Kevin POV...When I saw Silvio slowly crawl his way out of the dungeon, I knew for a fact that my plan was right on schedule. From the state of Silvio, I could see that Sienna happily took the bait. She must be on her way to save Tomás as we speak. The house was in an utter frenzy. From the moment Hunter opened the door to reveal a panicked Sienna, chaos erupted. Hunter started shouting commands at anyone within earshot. He attempted to get to Sienna. However, she managed to evade him. I had to hand it to her; I didn't think she'd have it in her to be able to fight back to the extent that she was. I thought for sure that her body would be too drained from the torture that Silvio had been dishing out to her for nearly a week now. It took everything inside of me to hide the smile that continually threatened to escape the more I watched from the side. Hunter was chasing Sienna out of the house toward his car. I couldn't lie; even the fact that she was able to think so quickly on her
Hunter's Revenge 97. To Hell & Back
...Hunter's POV...Javier's question had thrown me off guard. Why was Silvio in the dungeon with her? Since meeting with her, I had relieved Silvio from his torture duties. I didn't want anyone down there with her, other than Javier and myself until I had decided on what to do with her. I had reassigned Silvio to look after Tomás. It was his original assignment before Sienna arrived, so it only made sense to put him back on that task. I wanted to make sure Tomás was safe. He was vulnerable enough as it was. I didn't want to exploit that fact.No one was as stunned as I was when I opened the door to see a panicked-looking Sienna on the other side of the door. My mind was flooded with questions. Why was Sienna there? Why wasn't she tied up? How did she escape? What happened with Silvio? Did he let her escape? Before I could get an answer to any of those questions, a bloodied Silvio stumbles down the hallway behind her, taking my attention off her momentarily and providing her with the
Hunter's Revenge 96. Traitors in the Midst
...Javier POV...Hunter had requested that I personally see to Sienna's well-being and inform him of any changes. I could tell he still cared for her, regardless of what happened down there. It was as though he was pretending to be cruel to her to keep up a facade. Which made me wonder why? Did Kevin have a much larger hold on Hunter than I had assumed? Whatever the reason was, I knew to keep any findings to myself and Hunter. If Hunter wasn't able to trust anyone else, then neither would I.I was heading toward Hunter's office when I saw Silvio turn down the hallway to the basement. I was about to meet with Hunter, so I didn't have time to investigate further. However, his presence in that hallway had my nerves on edge. I don't know why, but something just felt wrong. Once I had finished the meeting with Hunter and the others had left the office, I closed his door and talked to him about my concerns."Hunter?" I called, using his first name instead of his title.Hunter immediately s
