“But what about you?”
“If you can continue to deal with sharing the cabin with me, I want you to stay.”
Nolan set his boots on the floor and sat up. “Because of the convenient sex?”
Jesus.Was that what he thought? That Cam only wanted sex from him? “It has nothing to do with sex. Look how much sex we have with Hope and she doesn’t live with us.”
“Then, for what reason?”
“Nolan…”
Nolan’s huge smile reappeared. “Yes?”
Cam rolled his eyes. “You seem to have figured it out already.”
Nolan tipped his head tothe side. “Have I?”
Cam closed his eyes and shook his head. When he opened them again, he surged to his feet, circled his desk and grabbed Nolan’s arm, hauling him from the chair. He leaned his ass against the edge of the desk and sandwiched Nolan between his thighs. He curled one hand around the back of Nolan’s corded neck and settled the other on his hip.
“Do I need to spell it out?”
Nolan’s lips twitched slightly. “Yes.”
“Then I will. We hid our true desires for each other foryears. I don’t want to do that any longer. It’s a waste of time.”
“I agree that we wasted time, but we’re no longer hiding our desires. They’re now out in the open.”
“I’m not only talking about desires.”
“Then what are you talking about?”
“Feelings,” Cam answered.
“Which ones?”
He sighed. “You’re purposely being obtuse.”
Nolan chuckled and hooked his arms around Cam’s neck. “I’ve suspected how you feel about me for a while now.”
“What is it that you suspect?”
“That you love me.”
“I’ve always loved you.”
“I mean as more than a friend,” Nolan added.
Cam nodded. “The truth is?—”
Nolan took his mouth and cut off his next words.
While Cam was always happy to share a kiss with his lover, he wondered…
Did Nolan not want to hear the truth? If not, that was concerning. Maybe he didn’t feel the same way.
But the kiss was brief, and when Nolan pulled his head back, he whispered, “The truth is, I’m in love with you. Not as a friend or co-worker, but as a lifelong partner.”
Holy shit.Cam wasn’t expecting for that confession to hitso hard. Suddenly his heart swelled too big for his chest. “I’m in love with you, too.”
