I step over to him and kiss him on the cheek. “Thanks for such a lovely day. For everything.”
Warmth flashes in his eyes. He starts to smile, but then he purses his lips. He frowns and clears his throat, then says, “Goodnight,” in a clipped, curt tone.
“Goodnight,” I say as I watch him walk down the hall and disappear into his bedroom.
When he closes his door, I stand alone in the kitchen, head spinning at this whirlwind day…and wondering what I did to make Camden run away from me.
Chapter 13
Camden
Iwake up with a raging hard-on.
I huff out a breath and rub my eyes, then aim a glare between my legs.
“Are you fucking serious?”
It was hell trying to sleep with that thing between my legs, but no way was I going to jerk off to get rid of it. Not when Ellie is the reason I’m hard in the first place.
I feel like such a creep. I shouldn’t be thinking of her in that way. She’s my best friend. Yeah, we’re married. Legally, we’re husband and wife.
But it’s just so she can get the medical care she needs and deserves.
And here I am, feeling insanely attracted to her, when I know I shouldn’t.
I think back to our kiss during our wedding yesterday, how hot it was.
I’ve had plenty of hot kisses in my life. Not one of them was likethat.
I think about how soft her lips were…how sweet and warm her mouth was…how her tongue teased mine…the way she moaned into my mouth.
It took everything in me not to pop a boner in that moment. I held it together all the way through dinner, until I had to watch her eat our wedding cake.
An image of her mouth, all lush and pouty, flashes in my brain. I think of her candy pink tongue running over her fork, licking her plush lips…
I think of how she looked at me, her eyes shy, biting her lip while offering me a bite of cake from her fork.
And like the terrible friend that I am, I instantly imagined her sucking my cock.
My dick throbs. “Fucking hell,” I mutter, pissed off at myself.
I had to quietly grab my fork and poke myself in the leg to get rid of my boner just so I could walk out of the restaurant.
I thought I was home free…until Ellie walked up and kissed my cheek.
Those satin lips on my skin, the smell of her perfume, feeling the heat from her body as she stood so close to me…it was all too much.
My dick started to get hard. Again.
So I ran off to my bedroom before she could notice.
Guilt throttles me. Ellie’s so sweet and kindhearted, and here I am, turned on at the thought of her.
I bet she’d be disgusted if she knew the things I was thinking about her.
I clench my jaw. I need to get my shit together.
I check the time on my phone and see that it’s just past six. I’ve got training at the gym with my teammates at eight. I’m going to be really early, but it’s better than lying in bed trying not to fantasize about Ellie.
