That combination sounded very sweet and had more sugar than I would normally start my day with, but if it meant spending more time with Cameron, I'd eat a double helping. “Seven sounds good.” I took my bag from him and said, “See you Sunday.”
He leaned closer and I went up on my tippy toes and kissed him. Instantly, I felt the spark, and as he pulled me into his arms, the heat from him radiated so hot, that it ignited a need deep within my core. I opened my mouth to him, and his tongue traced my lips before entering. God, he tasted delicious. He moaned into my mouth, then quickly pulled away. My eyes fluttered open and I was shocked by his expression. Was it regret? Or was it surprise that I had taken the lead and kissed him? Either way, he wasn’t smiling, and the distance between us left me feeling...cold.
“I’m sorry. I...I can’t do this,” he said, his tone filled with need and frustration.
Can’t or shouldn’t?
Was Amanda, right? Is he married? He held my hand in a restaurant that obviously knew him. A married man wouldn’t do that, would he?
I had no experience with such things, but Cameron didn’t strike me as a... a cheater. He couldn’t be married. At least I hoped he wasn’t. But if he didn’t want to kiss me then why do it in the first place?
Oh God.My stomach twisted in a knot as I realized what had happened. Cameron wasn’t about to kiss me. He was going to open my car door. No wonder he looked stunned.
And I feel foolish.
I should apologize. Let him know that it wasn’t his fault, that it was mine. But I could feel my cheeks beginning to burn, and the words caught in my throat. I said nothing as I quickly slipped into my car and shut the door. I was beyond embarrassed. I never made the first move with a guy to top that, he pulled away, and that made this even more awful. My initial concerns of whether my breath stunk or if I was a horrible kisser no longer mattered. Whatever caused him to pull away, was still there. Cameron wasn’t begging me to stay any longer. He was ready for me to be on my way, maybe as badly as I was.
Giving him a wave, I pulled away from the curb. I couldn’t help myself, and looking in my rearview mirror, I saw him standing there watching me. I was hoping to see a wave or smile. But he stood there with a tortured expression.
Was it really that bad?
I know what troubled me. It was the powerful reaction that occurred within me as soon as our lips made contact. But I could’ve sworn he felt it too. Hell, I knew he did. It might have been a while since I’d been intimate with someone, but there was a telltale sign that was impossible to ignore. The hard bulge that had been pressed against me, briefly. So why did he pull away? What was he thinking?
I didn’t want to know. It couldn’t be a good thing, and I had enough of my own thoughts to deal with. Then I remembered that I hadn’t changed from my workout clothes or showered.Even on a good day, I smelled of dog after a long day as a vet. Add a cardio workout and there definitely wasn’t anything sexy or appealing about me right now.
What is wrong with me? I’m hot and sweaty. I didn’t even shower. Why would I think he wanted to kiss me?
I chuckled to myself, stinky or not, I could name several reasons why I wanted to kiss him. But what drew me to him most of all, were his dark mysterious eyes, and the way they grew even darker, when he looked at me. As though he wanted me as much as I did him.
Even now, with how strangely he acted afterwards, there was a part of me that didn’t regret kissing him. It had been a long time since I felt so...horny. I was beginning to think my sex drive had died when I became a workaholic. But it was just waiting for the right time and maybe the right person. It was going to provide me with some sweet dreams tonight.
Oh, Sunday can’t come soon enough. Now I just have to hope I don’t die from embarrassment first.
CHAPTER 7
Cameron
Chris and I didn’t usually speak so frequently, but I was sure he was concerned with what was happening in his precious apartment. If I ignored his call, he would just call back so I decided to answer.
“Hello, Chris. Everything is fine. The apartment is exactly as you have left it,” I stated.
“That I already knew,” he replied.
“Don’t tell me you have cameras set up all over this place,” I snarled. I didn’t like being spied on, not even if it was his place.
“No. The housekeeper was there today. Let me guess, you forgot about that. Maybe that is a good thing. It will keep you on your toes,” Chris chuckled.
I wasn’t in the mood to joke around. There was something else on my mind, and it wasn’t even the title match. Sydney might have surprised me with a kiss, but my reaction to it surprised me way more. Instantly, my cock was hard, and I wanted, no I desperately needed her. I’d never needed anyonelike this before. Maybe she hit me in the head harder than I thought, because I could barely control myself when I felt her breast pressed against my chest. If I hadn’t pulled away when I did, I might have forgotten why the hell I was in Boston in the first place.
She’s a huge distraction. A sweet, beautiful distraction.
For once, I was glad Chris had his stupid rule about no women in his house. It was the excuse I gave myself for not taking Sydney home with me.
“Cameron, are you there?”
Shit. I forgot he was on the phone. I needed to stay the hell away from Sydney. At least until the fight was over.
“Yes, I am here. I am eating.” Or at least trying to.
