Cameron grasps my shoulders. “I’m not saying no. I just…give me a few days.”

The conflict in his eyes does a number on my heart. I don’t know why something he talks about with so much nostalgic joy could put that amount of sadness in his stare. I return my tools and take his hand in mine. One by one, I kiss his knuckles, letting my instincts lead my actions.

He draws me into his arms and I quietly rub his back. Whatever he’s been running away from, it’s somehow taken hold of him in this moment. His body shudders under my touch. He’s been so focused on me that I’ve forgotten the real reason he’s here. My heart weeps for the silent battle raging inside him.

His embrace tightens but I don’t complain. He’s been such a patient rock for me while I deal with my issues. I have no choice but to give him the grace he needs until he’s ready to share his burdens with me.

And I want that more than anything. I’m fast becoming greedy for everything pertaining to Cameron. It should scare me, but it doesn’t. Our short acquaintance notwithstanding, I revel under his attention, bask in his warmth, and dance under his touch. Being here for him, even in silence, fills a need I’m discovering with each new day we spend together. Cameron’s diligence is like none other, and I’m grateful for him.

Once he releases me I take his hand, grab a couple blankets, and lead him to the garden. He’s a lot steadier and the calm confidence that pulls me in is almost restored.

“I thought you had to work,” he says while laying out the blankets.

“It’s not going anywhere. Right now, spending time with you is my priority. And I figured now would be a good time to let you in on my grandmothers’ shenanigans.” I share the scene I walked in on earlier to much laughter. “I can laugh about it now, not so much while surrounded by everyone trying to orchestrate our future.”

Cameron wraps his arms around me and rests his chin on my head. “One thing about Onyx is she is the masterclass in persistence. Speaking of which, did she happen to mention our weekend plans to you?” He proceeds to tell me about about his conversation with Glamma.

“The fact that she’s attended Covo del Peccato doesn’t surprise me, but why would she suggest that you take me?” I shift in his arms until I can see his face. “You don’t seriously plan for us to go through with her plans, do you? After all the times you’ve told me I’m not ready, I can’t see you agreeing to this?”

Cameron caresses my cheek. “I want a do over. One where you have no reason for regrets and where we pretend this is our first time there. You don’t like the idea?” He swipes my furrowed brow.

“Of acting like something that happened didn’t?” I shrug. “It feels dishonest and that doesn’t sit right with me.”

“That’s a shame. Since we wouldn’t be in the public space, I had wicked plans to keep you screaming. All. Night. Long.”

My breath has gone and disappeared on me while my imagination runs wild with all sort of ideas. “Maybe I was being too hasty. I’m all for giving the place a second chance, but I won’t act like we never met there.”

“But—”

“I’ll be too busy enjoying all the orgasms to think about that first night. And this time, I plan on sticking around.” I grab his neck and draw him to my mouth to toy with his lips.

In seconds, Cameron takes over the kiss, drawing me deeper without overwhelming me. As heat begins to unfurl inside my belly he pulls at my buttons.

“What are you doing?” I stop his hand from progressing. “We’re outside.”

My reaction brings a smile to his face.

“Exactly. I need to satisfy my curiosity.” He gently pries my hold away and continues to undress me. “I want to know if moonlight is drawn to your skin as much as the first rays of morning light. Will its kiss magnify your magnificence or will it hide itself in jealousy?” Cameron paints a vision of myself I’ve never imagined, caressing me as he bears my flesh to his gaze.

Although the sun has set, solar lights dot the lawn in a soft glow, transforming the garden into an isolated world full of sensuality. The moon peeks through a light veil of clouds to highlight the magnificent green of his eyes. “If the moon is jealous of me, it’s because you’re with me.”

“We’ll have to disagree on that.” He presses his lips to my shoulder, glides down my skin to lick and suck my sensitive areas.

Fire trails his every touch. His mastery spellbinds me in a sensual trance. Cameron, like me, has taken my lessons in self-discovery to heart, memorizing and applying what he’s learned to devastating effect. He flicks my nipples before sucking them into his mouth. The wet, pulling sensation travels to my center faster and more furious than the times I played with myself.

I moan and tunnel my fingers through his silky hair, needing to hold onto him, unable to get enough. Cameron is my tether to the world when my body wants nothing more than to soar in the skies. “Cameron… Don’t let go.”

“I’ve got you, little lamb. Keep your eyes on me.” He pulls pleasurable groan after pleasurable groan from me.

Trapped in his emerald gaze, my body becomes a sensitive nerve, susceptible to the slightest shift in pressure. His determined stare, filled with passion reflecting mine, does not waver as he frees my breasts to travel lower.

Impatient for him to get to his destination, I spread my thighs wider to accommodate his upper body and I push on his shoulders. It’s been an eternity since his tongue has touched me and my need is a ravenous beast. There is no hesitation or doubt on my part. I want him. And although he insists on taking things slow, I’m certain that I will not run from him. I’m done running from the image I’ve painted in my head of myself. I’m allowing myself to enjoy this feeling to the fullest.

Sweat dots Cameron’s body. Amid the lawn and flowers, his strong, earthy scent mingles to toy with my senses.

“Please Cameron, don’t keep me wait—ahh!”

His tongue meets my clit and my body lights up. “You have no idea how hard it’s been to hold back from doing this,” he grunts these last words and then my patient teacher disappears. The fever hiding behind his eyes burns bright as he consumes me in his wild licking and sucking.
