“One of the things that matters the most to you and one of the things I love most about you, is your family. You and your mother have always been close and when Dad married her, you accepted him, my sister, and me into your family like we had always been there. It meant so much to us. I know you care and want your mother happy. You also want to see her as often as you can. I want that too and I would never try to come between you and your mother.”
“Lesser men have tried and failed,” I teased.
“I bet. Alison reminded me that you took your teaching job where you did because you wanted to be closer to her mother. I get, understand, and respect that. I also don’t want to change that. I want you to have anything and everything that you want out of life. Including being able to see your mother whenever you want.”
“Okay, what are you getting at?”
“I want us to have a future. If you haven’t figured it out already, I’m in love with you. Completely totally and hopelessly in love with you. I want to be with you. I want to have a life with you. I do not want or expect you to upend your life for me. It wouldn’t be fair. Not when you have a job that you love and are near your mother.
“With my work, I can work anywhere and it’s because of that I have decided to move my practice to be near you. I don’t want us to have to worry about seeing each other and driving far to get to the other. I don’t want to do the long-distance thing. I think if anyone could make it work, it would be you and me, but I don’t want to. I don’t want to waste any time that I have with you in a car. If that means I need to move closer to you, then I will.
“Don’t worry. I’m not asking you to let me move in with you or to move into a house with me. Yet. I know we belong together and in order to show you and your mother how serious I am, I told her all of this earlier. She was a bit shocked but I think I have her approval.
“It means the world to me as she means the world to you and you are my everything. I know all of this doesn't matter unless you’re on board with this. So, what do you say? Are you willing to give me and us a chance? Will you still see me when we get home?”
Cameron squeezed my hand one more time as he waited for me to answer. Of all the things he would say to me, this was not what I had imagined. It was huge. It was crazy and beyond anything I ever could have imagined. I had never had a man do so much or give up so much for me. I would be crazy not to accept his offer and spend the rest of my life with him. I squeezed his hand back and smiled at him.
“Of course, Cameron.”
Chapter 21
Cameron
Her words were music to my ears. Talking to Dawn had been easy in comparison to telling Sydney what I had done. I was worried she would think it was too much, that I was pressuring her. I could see by the smile on her face that she didn’t think that at all.
“Good,” I said and stood up.
Sydney did the same thing and then she was in my arms. I wanted to show her how great we could be together. I wanted her to see that I loved her, for all that she was, for all that she made me, and all that we could be together. I hoped I had shown her that with my words but now I wanted to show her in other ways.
Our love making had always been incredible. I desired her, more than any woman I had ever met and I knew I would die wanting to be with her. There were times when that need would overwhelm me and I knew it would again. But for tonight. I wanted her to know and see that our love making could be sweet and tender and as loving as she was.
I kissed her as I slowly walked her over to a daybed that was close to the table. I hadn’t thought we would use it this way but I was all for it. I intensified the kiss as I slowly lowered us down. Her hands went into my hair and pulled me closer to her. Her legs opened so I could nestle myself between them. I savored the feeling of how good, how right, how perfect it felt to be so close to her.
My right hand went to the strap of her dress, it had been taunting me all night as it fell down and she would push it back up. I imagined a thousand times taking it down and exposing the beautiful flesh that was underneath. I could and did take my time, kissing every bit of skin I saw.
Sydney moaned underneath me and ran her hand down my stomach and between my legs. I was hard and throbbing and her hand felt incredible. I continued my journey of her flesh and when I pushed her dress down below her breasts, I was surprised to see she wasn’t wearing a bra. Her perfect breasts popped out so they were on full display for me.
I could feel the sudden tension in Sydney as I moved her dress around her waist. We might have done this before but I had never exposed as much skin to the night as I was now. I could understand her hesitation but it was unfounded.
“No one is here. It’s a secluded beach. I made sure we wouldn’t be disturbed by anyone tonight. The beach, this moment, everything that is going to happen is only for us. I promise,” I said and then sucked on her nipple.
“Cameron,” she sighed as she relaxed into the blanket.
Her sigh told me she was all mine, that whatever I had planned for the evening she was all for. I had plenty of things I wanted to do to her and with her and tonight was only the beginning, a whole new beginning for us.
I massaged her left breast as I sucked and teased her right nipple. It went to a rock-hard peak and I flicked my tongue over it and she hissed her approval. My hands moved down her legs, pushing the dress down as I went. My mouth followed my hands, kissing and worshiping every part of her as I worked my way down to her center.
Sydney bent her legs up as I moved between them. I took her dress completely off and put it to the side. I looked up at her and enjoyed the amazing view of the woman I loved bathed in the moonlight wearing only her panties. I don’t think I had ever seen anything as magnificent as her in my entire life.
“So beautiful,” I murmured as I kissed the inside of her right thigh.
Sydney jerked at the touch and then sighed as I did the same thing to the other side. Her hips moved as I worked my way closer to her center but didn’t go there. I watched as her desire turned to frustration as I continued to tease her and not go where I knew she wanted me to.
“Cam,” she moaned and I laughed.
I looked at her. She had lifted her head and was looking at me. Even with only the moonlight I could see her eyes were heavy with desire. She was almost begging me to take her. I ran my hand along her knees and down her thigh, up over her stomach, and then to her other thigh. She smiled but it was pained and she jerked her hips at me.
“Was this what you wanted?” I asked as I traced my fingers along the top of her panties.
