He shifted his legs beneath the table now, just remembering the sensation of Cort’s mouth on him. His phone buzzed again, and Cam turned it over, desperate fordistraction.

[Cort:]Imagine if I were kneeling in front of you right now, in the boardroom. I’d be under the table looking up atyou…

[Cort:]My hands would be on your thighs, rubbing them. Can you feelit?

Oh, fuck. This was exactly the kind of distraction Cam didn’tneed.

He glanced down the table at Sebastian, who was listening intently to Marcus, and along the other side, toward Drew, who was watching Sebastian. Neither seemed to notice the flush creeping across Cam’s cheeks, but David Pearce had. He cocked a concerned eyebrow atCam.

[Cam:]David is looking at me right now. Do you want me to be rock hard while he’s watchingme?

Cam already knew the answer to this question. Cort was uncompromisingly protective of Cam, including Cam’s privacy. There was no way Cort would want David to suspect anything. And while Cort wasn’t overbearingly jealous, he was definitely territorial. Sure enough, Cort sent a dark glare down the table atDavid.

Cam stifled a laugh and realized he didn’t give a shit about the meeting anymore. He bit his lip as hetyped.

[Cam:]That’s probably the hottest thing I’ve seentoday.

Cort’s brow puckered inconfusion.

[Cort:]What? The Marcus guy fromSeattle?

[Cam:]Spokane. Andno.

[Cort:]You don’t meanDavid.

Cam snickered. PoorDavid.

[Cam:]NotDavid.

[Cort:]Thenwhat?

[Cam:]There’s this guy across fromme.

Cort raised an eyebrow, then bit hislip.

[Cort:]Dotell.

[Cam:]He’s totally built, and just a tad jealous. Broad shoulders, green eyes, makes me hard instantly, has thesehands…

[Cort:]Hands?

[Cam:]Yup. Big, beefy hands. Can’t text for shit, but they’re amazing on myskin…

[Cort:]Yeah? I’m calling in myIOU.

Cam frowned at Cort across thetable.

[Cam:]Forwhat?

[Cort:]Tell you in aminute.

[Cort:]Now about thatvacation.

Cam looked at his boyfriend suspiciously, wondering what the hell he had in mind. It wouldn’t be office sex, or at least he didn’t think so. They’d done that already, christening both Cam’s office, Cort’s brand new office, as well as the elevator and several other key places Cam couldn’t remember withoutblushing.

When Cort had chosen to leave the FBI, rather than wait to hear the outcome of their internal investigation into his conduct, Cam had been a little worried Cort would regret his decision. He’d come to realize just how much that badge meant to someone who’d struggled to find his place in the world the way Cort had. He’d wondered if Cort would ever find a job he enjoyed half as much. And then Sebastian had announced the need for more internal security and decided to set up the new division - people who could prevent individuals such as Emmett Shaw from taking advantage of them. When he’d mentioned to Cort that part of the job description would be protecting Cam, Cort had rolled his eyes and leaped at thechance.

ThenCam had been concerned that working closely together might be slightly too much stress on their new relationship… but the exact opposite had been true. As with moving in together - a choice several people, including Sebastian, had felt they’d made too soon - they found things were simply better when they were together. The more time Cam spent with Cort, the more confident and grounded he felt in himself. Cort was a strong guy with a powerful personality, but when it came to Cam he was nothing but protective andsupportive.
