“It won’t be much of a social dating experiment if we’re secretly dating behind the scenes,” Kipton said.
Rose let out a bark of laughter. “Please. The dates are preplanned, the girls are strategically picked each week, the producers tricked you into being part of the date tonight—which was also planned all along. There’s nothing truly experimental about any of this. And Jack and Travis knew all of that going in. That’s why they’re dangling that extra cash in front of your nose, Hunter, to keep dating the last person standing for a certain amount of time after the show ends. They want people to believe this works.”
I nodded. “It actually could, if they found the right guy.”
Rose looked between me and Kipton. “I’d keep this attraction you’ve discovered between the two of you. The less people who know, the better.”
Kipton shook her head. “Jack already knows we have feelings for each other.”
I walked over to Kipton and took her hand. “All he knows is we’re attracted to one another, that’s it. We just play it cool, and when we’re on set or around anyone from the show, we’re just friends.”
Smiling, Kipton nodded. “I can do that.”
Rose cleared her throat. “We have one other problem, though.”
Kipton and I both looked at Rose, as I asked, “What?”
With a smirk, she answered, “Your mom.”
“What about Lincoln?” Kipton asked.
Rose rolled her eyes. “If she doesn’t already see it, it won’t take her long to sniff out what’s going on with you two. And if she doesn’t, my mom or Aunt Timberlynn or Aunt Merit will. I’m telling you, it’s like they have this sixth sense for love.”
I laughed. “Trust me, my mom, or yours, or our aunts won’t be an issue.”
Rose pushed off the chair and picked up her purse, tossing Kipton hers. “What’s that saying about famous last words?”
Kipton and I exchanged a look. Rose was most likely right, but I wasn’t about to admit that to her…or myself.
“Come on, lovebirds, I’m starving, and I don’t want to be hangry on this flight back with cranky-ass Jack.”
I smiled down at Kipton before gently kissing her. “We’ve got this.”
She nodded. “We’ve got this.”
Little did we both know…we weren’t even close to having it.
Chapter Eighteen
HUNTER
The flight back to Montana turned out to be easier than I thought. Everyone was exhausted and pretty much fell asleep as soon as the plane took off. Kipton and I had talked to each other just like we would any other day. No one even guessed that two hours before, I’d been making her come in the hotel room where I filmed the Truth Booth.
I couldn’t help but smile at myself as I watched Kipton sleeping, all curled up. As much as I hated the idea of sneaking around, there were so many things I wanted to do with her. The only problem was, we only had one, maybe two days a week to spend together, and we needed to be careful about where we did so. For now, we did have today and Sunday.
Pulling out my phone, I pulled up Dustin’s number. It was late, almost three in the morning, and we were about to land in Hamilton. I quickly logged onto the plane’s Wi-Fi, typed out my message, and hit send.
Me: I need your help with something. Call me when you wake up.
I slipped my phone into my pocket and closed my eyes. I needed sleep, then I could figure everything out with a fresh mind.
The moment I dozed off, Kipton entered my dreams. I was taking her against the window of the hotel suite. She was wearing a corset, but not a bodysuit, and I could hear our bodies slapping together as I ravished her.
“Hunter, harder. Please. Harder.”
I moaned as I felt her climax, causing me to fall right behind her. I was about to say her name when I felt something shaking me.
“Hunter? Hunter, wake up. We landed.”
My eyes snapped open, and I looked up at my cousin Rose. She wore a shit-eating grin on her face. “Sounds like someone was having a naughty dream with all the moans coming from you. Which girl were you dreaming about?”
I shot up in my seat and glared at her.
Travis walked by and hit me on the arm. “I hope it was more than one.”
My eyes searched the plane until I found Kipton, who was standing at her seat and doing her best not to look at me. It was clear she was stalling to let everyone else disembark. Rose winked at me as she headed out. I grabbed my bag and started for the door, stopping by Kipton to stretch an arm up and take her bag down from the overhead compartment.
Leaning in, I brushed my lips over her neck briefly, and I felt her body tremble. “We’re going to have to go back to Vegas to make that dream come true.”
