Hunter Epilogue Luna Boss's Fake Fiancee: A Billionaire Surprise Pregnancy Romance Chapter One of Boss’s Fake Fiancee PROLOGUE – LUNA I’m not supposed to be here. I know I’m not supposed to be here, but that only makes this delightful Saturday night that much more delicious. Hell, if Tim really didn’t want me to come to his firm’s masquerade ball, then he shouldn’t have gone on about it so much. How am I supposed to resist something that sounds so much fun? And my God, is this fun! So cool. I always knew my step brother had a cool job, even if I don’t really know what a hedge fund manager does, and this just proves it. His firm rented out an entire hotel with a grand ballroom for the masquerade ball. Everyone looks fantastic in their regency era dresses and suits, the masks covering their eyes and at least half their faces only adds to the mystic and magic of the evening. I love it, it adds the sensation that anything can happen. Which is why I’m pretty sure Tim won’t be too mad if he ever finds out that I snuck in behind him… Well, maybe not. Tim is quite protective of me, and has been ever since his mom married my dad six years ago. He takes his role as step brother very seriously, at twenty-eight, he’s only a decade older than me. He finds it hard to remember that I’m legally an adult and sees me as pretty rebellious, but whatever. Anyway, I’m sure he won’t see me. This room is massive, with dark lighting to complete the mysterious vibe flooding this room. The vaulted ceilings have scalloped edging, decorated with twinkling lights to look like stars. Thick velvet drapes hang from the walls, darkening the room some more. There are white trees that look almost real, sprouting around the room. Maybe it’s more like an enchanted forest, or maybe a Midsummer Night’s Dream situation. I can definitely hide, especially if I keep my eyes on Tim all the time. If I know where he is, he won’t know where I am. There. I spot Tim. I only recognize him because I know what he’s wearing. But I definitely recognize the man he’s talking to. He isn’t exactly trying to hide his identity. Maybe his face is covered, but I’d know those tattoos down his arm anywhere. Hunter Moore. My God, Hunter Moore is the best looking man I have ever laid eyes on. Yeah okay, so he’s in his late thirties, I think I heard Tim say once he was thirty eight years old, but that doesn’t mean I can’t look, right? He’s a fucking sex God, dominant and a total alpha male, a real bad boy with a permanent frown etched on his face and muscles to die for. Tim hasn’t even bothered to warn me off him, because I’m sure he assumes I wouldn’t have a crush on his best friend and mentor. I don’t suppose that makes my feelings okay, but it is a lot of fun. Seeing Hunter adds to the overall seduction of the night. Maybe I will even try and speak to him if I get the chance… I head to one of the small bars set up in the corner of the room to get myself a drink. Since I’m already here and risking everything, I decide to risk ordering alcohol as well. Just one drink to take the edge off so I can fully enjoy this. I’m not questioned about who I am, nor my age, which is great. I’m definitely going to have fun tonight… With my drink clutched between my fingers, I edge my way around the room. At first I stick to the walls, just observing from the outside, but soon someone talks to me, then another and another, they all seem to simply accept me as one of them. I have no idea what they’re talking about so I nod occasionally and jump in to tell people not to talk about work while partying – that one always gets a great laugh. This is great! On top of everything else, there has been no sign of Tim spotting me so I actually might get away with this… “Excuse me, Miss.” Ooh a pair of hands on my hips makes me jump. A fizzle of excitement runs all the way through my body, making my heart pound faster. “I just need to pass.” It’s him. It’s hard to stop myself from freaking out as Hunter touches me. My God, I always knew there would be some kind of electricity burning between us, but I didn’t know it would be quite this intense. Holy shit, he’s almost knocked me off my feet. Emboldened, I step closer to him, feeling the magic of anything can happen. “Oh you don’t need to worry.” Anxious excitement thunders in my chest. I’m worried he might recognize me, even though we’ve only officially met a couple of times. But he doesn’t. Through the mask I can see his eyes lighting up as he examines me. I arch my back to thrust myself towards him more, I need him to see me, to really see
