Reuben stood and walked over to Faith. Then in a display of possession, of ownership, he pushed her gently back against the counter, his hand going to the back of her head before he kissed her.
The kiss was deep and heavy. Hard. Hot.
And over far too quickly.
When he drew back, her head was spinning.
“Good morning, baby.”
“Good morning,” she whispered.
“You feeling all right?” he asked.
“A bit weird.” She rubbed her forehead. “I slept better than I thought I would.” Then she caught sight of the time on the oven. “Oh no! Look at the time. We’re late.”
He stopped her from rushing away, lifting her onto the counter. “Calm, baby. I checked my calendar. My first meeting isn’t until after lunch.”
She breathed out a sigh of relief. “You’re right. That’s good.”
“Let’s get you something to eat. You’re too pale for my liking.”
“I’m fine.”
“I’m going to make you better than fine.”
“Wow, I’m about to develop cavities from how sweet the two of you are.”
Faith jolted. She’d forgotten that Cammie was even here. Glancing over, she saw that her friend was smiling at them. But her smile didn’t really meet her eyes.
Something inside Faith was starting to burn and grow. She’d always thought she’d be friends with Cammie forever. But she’d changed. Cammie she used to know wouldn’t have spoken like that.
The old Cammie would have been happy that Faith was happy.
“Sorry, Cammie, forgot you were there.” It was mean, but she couldn’t help herself.
She was feeling like a voodoo doll who had been stabbed one too many times and was about to snap.
Reuben helped her down and she wandered over to the table. Cammie was dressed in a tight black skirt and a white sheer shirt. Her hair was a smooth ebony wave down her back.
She’d expertly applied her makeup, so you could barely see that she had a black eye.
Faith felt like a total mess next to her.
“Sit down, baby. I’ll get you some breakfast.”
She nodded, giving Reuben a small smile. Cammie glanced away.
“How did you sleep, Cammie?” she asked.
“Great, thanks to the drugs Reuben gave me.”
“Are you going into work?” Faith asked. She was dressed like she was.
“No. I called to let them know I’m not going in.”
Reuben put a plate filled with soft scrambled eggs, toast, and bacon in front of her.
Faith smiled up at him. “Your housekeeper has been by?”
