“I feel like I’m flying,” she whispered.
That was it.Cam couldn’t have stopped if she’d asked.
She really did trust him.
He let himself go, and soon they were both flying.Their bodies worked together, climbing higher and higher.When they reached the top, Lexie was squirming against the glass, uncaring of its stability, while his hand was planted flat against it, trying to find purchase.
“Ahhh!”she cried, arching her neck.
“Lexie.”Her name was more a sound as he came, hard and hot.
They held on to each other, drawing out the gratification, until they were both spent and fighting for air.After a long while, Cam carefully pulled out of her.He steadied her as her tiptoes dropped to the floor.When she peeked behind her and stiffened again, he caught her by the waist and led her away from the window.
“Sorry,” she said, leaning her head on his shoulder.
“Tiny steps.”
She sighed.“I come with a lot of baggage.”
He ran his hand across her soft hair.“I can carry it.”
To prove it, he swung her up into his arms and carried her back to the bedroom.He laid her on the jumbled sheets, and she scooted over on the mattress to make room for him.He tugged the covers over them as he slid in beside her.
“I’ll find us a first-floor office,” he promised as they lay facing each other.
“Do you really want to do this?Focus on children’s toys and games?You’ve worked in everything from the automotive industry to injection molding.”
“I like the idea,” he said honestly.“It means something to me.I was one of those kids who didn’t have many toys.If we could help out those parents who can’t afford full price…”
“Your mother loved you.”
“And she would have loved you.”He combed his fingers through her hair.
“I wish I could have met her.”Lexie swallowed hard.“We’ll have to find someplace to live.”She peeked at the windows.“First floor for that too?”
Cam grinned.“I don’t know.I kind of like what a penthouse does for you.”
She gasped and shoved him in the shoulder.
He rolled back towards her.“But I could compromise on a house.”
He liked that idea too.He hadn’t lived in a house since his mom had rented one when he was seven or eight.He liked the stability of it all, the meaning behind it.
Lexie smiled.
Pulling her closer, he ran his hand up her side.“Do you know that I almost turned down the job with Underhill?”
Even in the moonlight, he could see her eyes widen.
“Why?”
“I couldn’t stand your old man.I met with him to talk about the company’s situation, and it went so badly I almost told him to find someone else.That was when you came out of your office.”
“I did?”
“You nearly gave me whiplash.”
“I…I don’t remember.”
