“So greedy,” I whimper. “Harder. Please, Camden. Don’t make me wait. I want you so much. Please.”
“Mmm, I love it when you tell me what you want. You feel so fucking good.” He goes faster, deeper, and I slam back into him. “Taking me like such a fucking good girl.”
His hand slides across my stomach and down between my legs, where he starts to rub circles over me.
I lose my rhythm, too lost in the sensations firing off everywhere, and I cry out, “I’m so close,” and then in the next second, “I’m coming.”
“I’m right there with you, baby. God, you know just how—” He lets out a long curse when I clench around him in tight, desperate pulses.
He gets even harder inside, and it’s like time just collapses to this one stretched-out moment of bliss. He holds my back against his chest while we ride it out, whispering between staggered breaths, “I love…you…I…love you.”
I can’t even speak yet, but once I feel steady again, I turn my face to his, and we kiss softly.
“I love you,” I whisper. “How did we get so lucky? What if we’d never gotten our act together?”
“I don’t even want to think about that,” he says. “I want to bury myself in you and never remember how awful it was without you.”
Voices come down the hall toward us, and then the door to the conference room opens.
“This room holds about thirty,” Goldie tells someone. “It’ll be great for smaller meetings. This is the only room this size, and then the bigger one is next door.”
We’re okay, as long as no one decides to look at the sound room. Camden and I freeze, and then he slowly eases out of me and tucks himself in his pants. I pull down my skirt and look at the strip of light coming from the doorway.
I gasp and Camden stiffens. I point at the doorway, where on the floor in the strip of light are my ripped lacy panties.
“Oh!” Goldie says, a little closer. “Uh, let’s take a look at that bigger one. It’s even better.” She sounds like she’s about to start laughing, and when she gets closer to the door to the hallway, she says, “Fancy pants around here, am I right?”
I bury my head in my hands while Camden barely holds back his laugh.
CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE
IT’S REAL
CAMDEN
The resort is getting the best buzz we could’ve hoped for. It’s been unbelievably busy the past couple of weeks, but we’ve got a rare day off. It’ll be the last one for a while before our grand opening in a few weeks. Juju and I are in my bed down in the basement, coming down from our state of orgasm euphoria—Ilovewaking up with her in the morning—when Kevin peeks his head in the door. The little dude actually smiles when he sees her and comes bounding onto the bed.
Juju laughs and leans up to pet him. He immediately rolls onto his back and throws his paws in the air, which cracks us up. Little attention slut.
“He rarely comes down to say hi to me, but he can’t resist when you’re here,” I tell her.
“I love him so much.” She laughs when Kevin lolls around on his back and then ducks his head under her hand again. “I want a dog.” She sighs. “I’ve just always felt too busy with the cafe and couldn’t have one underfoot there in the kitchen.”
“You don’t want your only pets to be the hens and Ralph?”
She laughs and groans. “Ralph and I do not claim each other. He is Papa Hector’s through and through, and the hens are becoming mine.”
“Peaches and Snowball are your girls. They don’t let me hold them like they let you. And Muffin…she’s come a long way.”
“Aww, she has. She’s finally fattening up.” She sniffs and sticks her bottom lip out.
Of course I have to kiss it.
“I love them. Did I tell you I think Peaches told Ralph to knock off chasing me? Because he’s not trying as hard to eat me anymore. Unless she’s snoozing, and then he’s his usual cray self. They all have way more personality than I realized! But I still want a dog,” she coos to Kevin.
“I want one too. This guy fills the void, but it’d be nice to have one of my own sometime. You know, that’s one benefit to us having different schedules. One of us will usually be around…” I lean over and kiss her shoulder.
She looks at me with playful eyes. “That’s a big step, getting a dog together.”
