“Gigi has pre-K,” I counter.

“It’s a few days, Cam.” He sighs, clearly frustrated by my reluctance.

My eyes go to the ceiling. Gigi has to go to Disney; otherwise, she’ll be devastated if she doesn’t. And I don’t relish the thought of being away from her for four days and three nights. So, it looks like I’m going to Disney World with them.

“I didn’t do this to piss you off,” he says gently. “I just wanted to do something nice for Gigi. I want to spend time with her…and you.”

“Don’t…” I warn him, bringing my eyes back to him. “You want me to come with you, then I’ll do it on one condition.”

“Name it.”

“You have to promise to lay off me. No talk about us getting back together while we’re at Disney. This vacation is about Gigi. Not you and me.”

“Okay,” he says. “I won’t mention a single thing about you and me the whole time we’re there. Scout’s honor.”

I bark out a laugh. “You, a Boy Scout? Hardly.”

He grins. “I’m an honorary member nowadays.”

“Sure you are, Zeus.”

I laugh again. So does he.

His twinkling eyes catch mine. The moment they lock with mine, they turn serious. My breath halts.

“I miss you,” he says in a low voice, moving closer.

My body instantly reacts to him. My nipples harden. His eyes lower to my chest, like he can see them through my bra and shirt.

His eyes come back to mine before roaming down to my mouth. “I can still taste you.” His voice is a low growl.

And I lick my lips without conscious thought.

“I can still feel you around my cock, Dove. I can’t stop thinking about it…me inside you. I’ve been hard for a week, baby. A whole fucking week.”

“Y-you just promised,” I stutter, my body trembling with need for him. “You said you’d stop with this.”

He leans in and whispers in my ear, “I said I’d stop while we were in Disney World. We’re not there yet.”

The sound of Gigi bounding down the stairs is a goddamn relief because having him this near had me close to just grabbing him and kissing the hell out of him.

Zeus seamlessly steps back from me. He’s instantly calm and collected.

Me…well, I’m a jittering jumble of a mess, desperately trying to pull myself back together after he just reduced me to a quivering idiot in a matter of seconds.

Zeus—1.

Cam—0.

“I gots the book, Mommy.” She thrusts it at me, and my trembling hand takes it. “Daddy, are we staying in a hotel? Does it have a pool?” she fires up at him.

He picks her up and looks into her face as he talks to her, “We are, baby girl, and yep, it has a pool and a view of the Magic Kingdom.” His eyes come to mine. “I got us a suite to stay in. Two bedrooms.”

His stare smokes through me, and my insides shake hard. Setting off an incessant throbbing between my legs.

I’m so screwed.

He’s got me backed into a corner. The oddest of corners because, now, I want the Disney trip to quickly roll around, so I can have a break from Zeus trying to win me back after being tricked into spending time with him while sleeping in the same two-bedroom suite as him.
